3 days later, the city became really different. VERY DIFFERENT. The streets were crowded like never before. The traffic jams became more tensed. Things were going haywire. You wouldn't believe it, but it was because of so many youngsters...who were BTS Fans!!

You and your friend wanted to try finding BTS again today, and as soon as you two came out, you saw this chaos on the streets. So many youngsters were running around, talking loudly. They all seemed to be...searching for something.

"What in the world is going on HERE??", asked your BFF.

"I dunno...why are ARMYs crowding the place...anything special?", you asked.

"Wait...let's ask an ARMY!!", she suggested.

So she managed to catch a desperate ARMYs who was running, and asked the same question.

"What's going on? Why are there so many ARMYs running around the city??", she asked.

"Don't you know? Kim Taehyung's phone has been missing for a long time, and this news spread like wildfire!! There's also a cash reward for the one who finds his phone first. So we're all looking for Taehyung's phone, so we can return it to him!!", replied the ARMY.

"WHAT???", you both asked in surprise, looking at each other.

"Who told you?", you asked the fan.

"Someone got the info and it was confirmed. That's why we're on a roll!! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go!!", said the ARMY, and left the spot immediately.

"HOLY SHOOT!! This is bad!! How did everyone get to know about this? Taehyung's gonna get angry with me again!!", you said, worried like never before.

"Whoa, relax!! Taehyung will understand. He's not like before, I'm sure of that!! And, the fan said someone gave the news and it was confirmed, right? The person must've been spying on BTS!!", your BFF said furiously.

"How dare they spy on the boys??? That's so disrespectful!!", you said in anger.

"Yeah. It just made our quest more difficult now. How will we ever return his phone now?", asked your friend.

"We'll have to do it even more sneakily and secretly now...", you replied.

Then suddenly, Taehyung's phone rang in your coat's pocket. Both of you got tensed.

"Quick, let's go home and answer the call!!", said your friend.

"Okay!!", you said, and you both went to your home and up to your room to talk.

You finally picked up the call.

You: Hello?

Tae: It's me, Taehyung. Is that you, Y/N?

You: Yes it's me, Taehyung.

Tae: Do you realize what's going on in the city?

You: Yeah, and I seriously didn't expect it. I dunno how this news leaked out. I heard someone spied on you and told everyone.

Tae: Well, who was it?

You: We don't know, but it has become more difficult to return the phone. Because, there seems to be a cash reward for the one who finds your phone first. So ARMYs are competing like crazy.

Tae: WHAT??? This is NOT RIGHT!!!

You: I know, whoever the spy was, they're gonna pay for this!!

Tae: What if it's...

You: TAEHYUNG!!!

Tae: Relax, I'm kidding. Of course it's not you, Y/N. I don't wanna make that mistake again of misunderstanding you. I know you're only trying your best to return my precious phone.

You: W-What? Really??

Tae: Yeah. I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't mean it. I was too angry and desperate back there. I felt really bad and guilty for doing so. I-I'm sorry, Y/N.

You: Oh Taehyung, it's ok. I'm glad you finally understood me!!

Tae: It's alright. I hope you forgive me, Y/N.

You: Apology...accepted!! *giggles in happiness*

Tae: *giggles back cutely*

You: So now what do we do? If anyone sees me having your phone, they'll surely come after me!!

Tae: Well...you're right. I won't be safe for you and your friend to look for us, anymore. Now, I think only we have to come looking for you.

You: How can we meet you guys??

Tae: We'll think of something. We need to find a way to get to you two without any trouble. Till then, you better keep me phone somewhere safe in your room and not take it anywhere outside.

You: Okay...

Tae: Once we find a way, we'll call you again...

You: But what if you call me while I'm in class? I won't even have a chance to know that you called!!

Tae: When do you usually go to class??

You: From 8.30am to 4.30pm. I'll be home by 5-5.30pm. If there's anything important happening in class, I might even come home late.

Tae: Are you allowed to bring smartphones to class?

You: No, I'm afraid not, Taehyung.

Tae: Okay, how about 6.30pm??

You: I think it'll be fine.

Tae: Great!! Then don't forget that we might call anytime from 6.30pm, everyday.

You: Got it!!

Tae: Okay then. I'll you later. Bye bye.

You: Bye, Taehyungie.

Tae: What??

You: Oh, nothing. Bye, Taehyung.

Tae: Bye, Y/N. Stay safe, ok?

You: Sure and you too!! Bye!! *smiles*

Tae: Bye bye!! *smiles too*

And you both finished the call. Your friend was pretty curious and talked to you.

"What did Tae say??", she asked you.

"He wants us to not look for them anymore. They'll come to us instead, since it's not safe for us to take his phone out, anywhere...", you replied.

"How will they come to us? Do they know where your home is??", she asked.

"No. First, he said he'll find a way to reach us first, and then call us again. Maybe that's when I'll have to tell him my home address...", you replied.

"When will they call?", she asked.

"Anytime from 6.30pm onwards, everyday, until we return his phone to him. He'll call us once they figure out a plan...", you replied.

"Oh okay then...", said your BFF.

"We need to keep his phone safe here in my room and expect his call from 6.30pm onwards. So. let's be alert!!", you said.

"Yeah totally!!", she agreed.

"Let's make sure nobody knows that we have his phone safely with us, okay?", you asked.

"Okay, Y/N!!", she said, and you both gave each other a high five.

Meanwhile, in the hotel. All the members gathered in Namjoon's room to discuss the plan of reaching you two to get his phone back.

"Okay so where do they have your phone exactly, Tae?", asked Namjoon.

"In her room, somewhere safe...", Tae replied.

"Where does she live? Did you ask her address??", asked Yoongi.

"No...not yet. I thought it wouldn't be a good idea just yet...", he replied.

"Why? Then how else can we reach her??", asked Namjoon.

"I thought, if someone traced my call, they could misuse the information...ever since this chaos began, it's become more dangerous for Y/N and her friend...", Tae said.

"He has a point, Namjoon", said Hoseok.

"Hmm...then where else can we make them go to, so we can meet them there??", Namjoon asked.

"Most places in the city are popular. It won't be easy to meet them, just like that!!", said Jin.

"Yeah...so is there any quiet and empty location we can tell them?", asked Jungkook.

"No. Most of them are deserted, which are extremely dangerous for all of us...", replied Namjoon.

"What about the beach??", asked Jimin.

"Day or night...it's not safe. In the morning, it'll be too crowded. At night, anything could happen. We don't wanna take such risks!!", replied Taehyung.

"Then do we have to go out of the city to somewhere remote, maybe?", asked Hoseok.

"Not a good idea either, dude...", replied Namjoon.

"Then what DO WE DO??", asked Hoseok.

"We're gonna need to look at the city map and find good locations first. Then we choose one and then formulate how to meet them...", said Jimin.

"You're right...", said Namjoon.

So Taehyung had the city map and show it to the others and they looked at it.

"Whoa, I don't know much of these places...", said Yoongi.

"Me neither...", said Jungkook.

"Keep looking, guys!!", said Taehyung.

So the guys looked at the map to choose a place for meeting you two. They finally chose a place.

"How about Grandma's store we visited a few days ago?", asked Jimin.

"Good idea!!", said the others.

"Now let's think about how we get there...because that street could be crowded too...", said Hoseok.

"We should check first!!", said Taehyung.

"Then let's go and see!!", said Jungkook.

So they all went to visit Grandma's store again, to see how the streets were.

Back to your room...

"Why would someone leak this out?", you asked.

"Dunno...maybe the person found the news, hot. So they leaked it out, knowing that ARMYs would give a huge reaction, I guess", said your friend.

"Well well, they even mentioned a cash reward!! How much is it?", you asked sarcastically.

"Let's check!!", said your friend.

So you went online and checked on Twitter. There was a tweet about this by an ARMY. You two got Jungshooked.

"2 MILLION DOLLARS?????", you both shouted in surprise.

"No wonder ARMYs are crazy today!!", said your friend.

"But they shouldn't be after money like this, it's not right!!", you shouted.

"Yeah, but it's 2 MILLION DOLLARS, that's why...", she replied.

"Man...I wonder where this is gonna end, I'm scared...", you said, worried.

"Me too...", said your friend.

Meanwhile, BTS was driving to Grandma's store.

"Hey guys, Y/N said there was a cash reward for finding my phone. How much was it?", asked Tae.

"Dunno, lemme check!!", said Jungkook.

So Jungkook took his phone and checked this on Twitter. He was Jungshooked like crazy.

"OMG!!", he screamed.

Hoseok, who was driving the car, hit the brakes ans stopped with a jerked feeling. Everyone were totally shook.

"WHAT HAPPENED??", asked the others in surprise.

"The prize money is...is...2 MILLION DOLLARS!!!", shouted Jungkook.

"2 MILLION DOLLARS?? WHAT??", the rest of them shouted.

"No wonder ARMYs were desperately looking for Tae's phone!!", said Namjoon.

"This is bad...really bad!!", said Tae, worried.

"Yeah, but we gotta see how Grandma's street is...so let's go!! We're running out of time!!", said Hoseok.

So Hoseok started the car again and continued driving. In 30 minutes, they reached the street which had Grandma's shop. But like they feared...it was crowded with ARMYs.

"Oh no...it's crowded like we feared not to!!", said Namjoon.

"What are we gonna do now??", asked Taehyung.

"Let's think harder, guys!!", said Jimin.

So they parked the car in the parking area, and stayed in the car for a while, to think of what to do next.

Stay tuned for Chapter 12!! 🔥
