Author's P.O.V:-

In Jeon's Mansion...

Jungkook goes to his room and calls Jimin while sobbing,

After a few rings, the elder picks up the call, "Kook?"

"Hyung,...*hic* where you going?" Jungkook's sobs can be heard.

Jimin stops the car on the side frowning, "Kook, why are you crying?"

"You left just like that...what am I supposed to do then?"

>>>And even hugged that Taehyung before going...

"Listen, Kook. I know it's sudden but there are some urgent matters that need to be taken care of. I will explain everything to you once I come back. Didn't you say you'll do everything I ask of you? So stop crying now and be a good boy."

"Hm..." Jungkook nods wiping his tears.

"Then, I really need to go now, Kook. Take care of yourself." Jimin cuts the call and drives fast to Darksmoke's mansion.

Jungkook sits on the ground sniffing trying to control his tears as he promised Jimin that he'll do everything the elder asked.

>>>Why...you and appa love that Taehyung so much and never look at me the way you look at him?

>>>What's so special about him?

Jungkook's eyes glow as if he got a great idea. He wipes all his tears and gets up with a newfound determination.

>>>I will follow that Taehyung all day tomorrow and see what's special about him.

Smiling to himself Jungkook falls onto his bed and sleeps tight.

In Italy...

At The underground cell...

"So, Vincenzo's uncle, what's your name?" Hoseok asks, curious to know.

"Stefano, you guys can call me uncle Steve." The guy in his middle 50's answers.

"Then, uncle Steve, how are we gonna escape from this dusty cell, any plans?"

"Nope. No plans." Uncle Steve drops the bomb.

"WHAT?" Jin and Hoseok yell at the same time and look at each other with widened eyes.

"Hyung, you said we're gonna escape with the help of Vincenzo's uncle, didn't you? And he is saying he has no plan, then what will happen to us?" Hoseok shouts getting agitated.

"Ow, that damn Vincenzo bastard said all we have to do is get caught and go to jail. And everything else will be planned by him and his uncle." Jin replies also frustrated.

"And you believed that? Now what? I am telling you Hyung, I have a wife to take care of and he is waiting for me."

>>>And I even broke his heart and made him cry before coming here...argh!

"And you think I am single? I have a cute boyfriend waiting for me too, get it? Do you think I want to be trapped here forever?"

"Ok, guys calm down. I did say I have no plan but I didn't say we're not going to escape from here, did I?" Uncle Steve interferes between both friends bickering.

"How are we gonna escape from this damned cell without a good plan? Care to explain Uncle Steve?" Jin looks annoyed.

"Darksmoke's leader is gonna free us." Uncle Steve answers.

"Why would he? And why is he in Italy?" Hoseok asks.

"Cause Darksmoke's leader wants to avenge his friend's death by killing that bastard Lorenzo. And Vince and he are friends since childhood. So, of course, they'll rescue us."

Uncle Steve replies calmly eating his peanuts.

Hoseok looks at Jin glaring, "If that was the case, why the hell are we here in the first place, damn it!"

"I don't know!" Jin yells back.

"You both are here to divert the attention of Lorenzo and his men." Uncle Steve states.

"HOW?" Jin and Hoseok shout at the same time.

"Argh! You young guys have such big mouths. I think my eardrums will be broken by the time Vince comes to rescue me."

"Uncle Steve!" Jin and Hoseok glare at him.

"Alright, stop digging knives through your eyes. You have to fake an escape from this cell and get caught again after Darksmoke comes here and gives us the signal."

"AGAIN?!" Jin and Hoseok look frustrated.

In Seoul...

At Kim's home...

"Joonie, what happened to your results? You said they'll announce it today" Chae Young asks her son.

"Ah, Eomma. I am waiting for it. The website got crashed as many of them opened it at the same time. We have to wait a bit to know the result. I am a little nervous, Eomma. Will I pass the exam?"

Namjoon asks keeping his head on his mother's lap.

"Of course. My Joonie is so smart and I know you'll pass with good marks. I am confident about that." Chae Young caresses her son's hair lessening his nervousness.

Namjoon nods and closes his eyes slightly enjoying the warmth of his mother.

Then Namjoon's phone rings, "Hello? Jackson?" he answers the call.

"Joonie. Look at the website now. You'll be surprised." Jackson shouts from the other line.

"Yah, idiot. Stop shouting. Wait let me check." Namjoon opens the website and tears form in his eyes.

"Did you see? You topped the exam, dammit! Congratulations Mr. IQ 148!"

Jackson yells at top of his lungs in happiness.

"Thank you!" Namjoon answers crying.

"Yah, why are you crying? I want a party and I am 100th place can you believe it? Thanks to your tutoring my parents are so happy with my results you know." Jackson chirps.

"Congratulations to you too." Namjoon smiles hearing that his friend also passed the exam.

"Ok, I will come to your home tomorrow morning, let's discuss which university we are going to attend. And I bet every University wants to recruit you." Jackson says with a cheerful voice.

"Alright, see you tomorrow." Namjoon then after talking with his new friend he made while studying in the library cuts the call and looks at his mother.

He goes to her and hugs her tightly, "Eomma, I topped the exam."

Chae-Young's eyes that are dim due to the blindness glow hearing it and her smile reached her cheeks, "I know you can do it. I am so proud of you, Joonie."

"What's happening here? You both are having a family huh without me?" Taehyung who just came home pouts.

Namjoon and Chae-Young smile listening to that and extend their arms, "Come here."

Taehyung runs into their arms immediately smiling and hugs them, "So, what's the occasion for this hug?" He asks snuggling in his brother's and mother's warmth.

"Your Hyung topped the CSAT," Chae-Young answers joyfully.

"Wow, Hyung! You became a book monster now?" Taehyung teases and gets a flick on his forehead from his brother.

"Shut up, Tae."

Taehyung shows his tongue. "Eomma, Tae is showing his tongue to me."

Namjoon complains hugging his mother tightly.

"Yah, Tae. Stop annoying your Hyung." Chae-Young scolds, smiling.

"Eomma, you always take Hyung's side. I am a good boy how can you believe what Hyung said without a doubt?" Taehyung sulks.

"Cause I know you, brat. I am your mother." Chae-Young gives a light smack on Taehyung's head who pouts and still shows his tongue to his Hyung.

Namjoon shakes his head and shows his tongue too. Chae-Young smiles contentedly hugging both of her sons.

The little home of Kim's is finally filled with little giggles and happiness after a very long time.

>>>God, please let us be happy like this...we have suffered so much until now. Please, let my sons have a good life from now on.

It's the mother's desire from her heart. Will the god listen to her wishes? Let's see...
