Jungkook was walking to a small corner market when he heard his phone ringing. He saw Yoongi was calling him.

"Hello?" Jungkook answered.

"Hey..uh..did you get to the market yet?" Yoongi asked. He seemed anxious about something.

"I'll be there in another 10 minutes. Why? Does someone want me to pick them something up?"

"Can you just maybe turn back and get home instead?" Yoongi asked. He seemed impatient too.

"Why what's wrong?" Jungkook asked confused and concerned.

"Nothing is wrong...just...you should get home soon. I..think the weather is getting bad. Actually why don't I go meet you at the market? I can pick you up in the car and bring you home."

"Hyung you're acting weird," Jungkook checked his weather app, "There's nothing but sun in the forecast."

"I'll meet you at the market okay? And don't go anywhere else either! Just wait for me there!" Yoongi demanded. Jungkook could hear him already getting ready to leave the dorm. "Okay," Jungkook responded and then they said goodbye to eachother. Jungkook stared at his phone for a second wondering what the hell was wrong with Yoongi before looking up and making his way towards the market.

At the dorm, the members were tense. "You're going to get him? Why didn't you just tell him why we wanted him home?" Taehyung pouted.

"I didn't want to scare him," Yoongi replied.

"Okay but you should have at least warned him!" Jin yelled nervously.

"Will you all relax?! He'll be at the market in ten minutes and I will pick him up there! I have to go! Keep the doors locked and don't open it for anyone, got it?!" Yoongi yelled to everyone as he was headed out the door. They all nodded and he locked the door behind him.

The members were all nervous about a live emergency broadcast that had just come out on the news. Korea's most renowned serial killer, who was famously known as 'Cannibal Kris', was reportedly in the area of Seoul that morning. There had been multiple documentaries about this man. He'd committed some of the worst cases of murder in the history of Seoul. Nobody knows how he has never been caught and arrested before. Nobody knew his true identity as he always wore a costume and mask when he killed people. It was also known that after killing his victims he'd more than likely eat them, which was how he got his famous nickname. Nobody who was captured by him had ever lived to tell about it, so all reports were directly from the police and investigators themselves. The news report said that there had been a sighting this morning in Seoul and that until further notice everyone should remain indoors with all their windows and doors locked and curtains pulled shut. The police still weren't able to locate the man and when he grabbed someone, he grabbed them quickly.

Which was why the members were freaking out that Jungkook wasn't home. He was out there in the open walking in the street, vulnerable. With a serial killer apparently somewhere out there, and close. It didn't help that everyone knew his victims were always men in their 20's. The members feared that if that man was anywhere close, no doubt he'd take their maknae.

Jungkook was standing at an intersection waiting for a crosswalk light to turn green. He was leaning against a pole and a man driving a red truck was waiting for the light in the lane next to where he was standing. The man looked at him and gave a small wave and smiled. "You look tired," the man yelled from the window.

"Long walk," Jungkook chuckled.

"Where ya goin?" the man asked. Jungkook pointed down the street, "Not far, just the market over there."

"Well I'm headed that way, hop in and I can drop you right off as I pass it," the man gestured to the passenger seat of his car for Jungkook to get in. The maknae hesitated for a moment and then thought about how his legs did kind of hurt.

He started walking towards the truck and opened the passenger door. "Sure, why not?" The market is right down the street.

He hopped in, "Thanks a lot for this," Jungkook put his hand out and the man shook it. Jungkook almost thought the man seemed kind of familiar but he couldn't figure out why, then again he met a lot of people so he figured a lot of people would probably look familiar.

"Oh it's right here," Jungkook said as they were approaching the corner market. He put his hand on the door handle getting ready to open it when suddenly the man driving hit the lock button on all the doors and sped right past the store.

Jungkook immediately tensed up, "Hey...what are you doing? That was the store!" he complained. The man turned and smiled at him without saying anything. Jungkook pleaded again, "What are you doing?! Let me out!" He tried at the door handle but even after hitting his own unlock button it wasn't doing anything. "Did Yoongi put you up to this?!" he cried. He really hoped this was a prank from his hyung because if it wasn't he didn't know what to do. The man driving wasn't answering him. He kept his eyes on the road while smiling and started driving faster. It seemed like within an instant they were headed away from the city. Jungkook pulled his phone out to call for help but the man snatched it from him and smashed it against his dashboard, opened his window, and threw it out.

Jungkook was a sobbing mess at this point. He had no idea who this guy was or what was going on but he knew one thing, that he was scared. He never could have imagined one day he'd be easily kidnapped.

You're and idiot! A damn idiot! Why did you get in the car with a stranger?! The market was right there!!!

"Please let me go...even here...you can just stop anywhere and let me go..please.."Jungkook begged through tears. His voice sounded really small and shaky. When the man kept ignoring him he turned and started punching and pounding on the door and window, "Help! Help!" he started screaming, unfortunately nobody was around anymore as they started heading towards the outskirts of town. "Let me out!!" Jungkook screamed.

While this was happening, Yoongi was panicking at the corner market. Where the hell did he go?! I told him to wait for me here!

He decided to call Jin.

"Hello?" Jin picked up.

"Did Jungkook make it back there already?"

"No, you told him you were picking him up why would he be back here?"

"Because he's not fuckin here Jin! I can't find him anywhere!" Yoongi could feel himself beginning to sweat with anxiety. Jimin grabbed the phone from Jin after overhearing, "Maknae is missing?"

"Apparently! Aish! That brat! I told him to wait for me here! He must've gotten impatient and started heading home. I will find him," Yoongi said. The members said they'd all try giving him a call as their own anxiety picked up. Why isn't he answering?

He wasn't answering Yoongi's calls either so he decided to track his phone. What the hell? He could see the maknae's phone wasn't moving anywhere and for some reason it was located at the edge of the city. He ran to his car and followed the location to the phone smashed on the ground. He bent down and picked it up and it was completely broken and wouldn't turn on. No no no what the hell, where are you?!

Another person in the area walked over to him, "Someone you know? Saw someone in a truck throw it out their window."

"This phone?" Yoongi asked, "This phone flew out a truck window?" The other guy nodded, "Yeah, whoever was driving tossed it."

"What did the driver look like?" Yoongi asked. Why the hell would Jungkook be driving a truck?

"Some old-ish guy. Had some young-ish guy with him. Seemed to be in a hurry."

Yoongi felt his heart freeze with fear when he realized what this guy was saying. An older guy had Jungkook in his truck and threw his phone out the window. Yoongi felt like he was going to throw up. Jungkook was taken. There's a serial killer somewhere out here, and Jungkook was taken by someone.

The mere thought alone of him possibly being taken by the guy on Korea's most wanted list sent him falling to his knees. Yoongi begged the guy he was talking to for more information but that was all the information he had to give. Yoongi explained how he thinks his maknae was being kidnapped. "Sorry about that man, hope that wasn't that creepy killer guy," the guy said before heading off.

The first thing Yoongi did before even calling his members was call the police. When they picked up he frantically started explaining the situation and how he was extremely worried over the possibility of who might've taken Jungkook. The police told him they'd be working on it right away. He then called Jin back.

"Did you find him?" Jin answered. Yoongi started bawling his eyes out into the phone, "He's missing! Someone took him!"

"What the hell do you mean someone took him?!" Jin asked angrily, "Took him where?!"

"I don't know hyung! I found his phone all smashed up on the side of the road and someone said they saw the truck it came from and he's....Jin someone kidnapped him! I already called the police hyung we have to find him!"

He could hear a bunch of yelling and shouting on the other side of the phone and then Hobi grabbed it and said they would get a ride and meet him where he was. By the time they got there the police were already asking questions. Yoongi ran to them crying and they all began hugging eachother. Apparently there were also reports of a stolen red truck earlier that day and the police didn't want to admit it but they had to be honest and told the group that they did have some evidence that the truck was stolen by none other than the very man they were all praying it wasn't. Cannibal Kris.

Taehyung grabbed the officer by his shirt in a fit of tears, "Find him! Find him now! That man will kill him! We have to find him right now!!!" Taehyung started screaming. The rest of the members weren't doing any better. They had all fallen to the ground a complete mess while holding eachother. An instant alert went out to the entire country that Jungkook was missing and may have been kidnapped by Cannibal Kris and they needed everyone's help to bring him home safely.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Jungkook screamed while he was still banging on the door, "Please just let me go! You don't want me I swear! I'm ..uh....I don't know but I promise you don't want me! Who even are you?!" he cried. They both heard a phone go off. The man pulled it out of his pocket and laughed at it. He held it up for Jungkook to read the alert message on his phone. The alert message about how he was missing and who he was kidnapped by.

Jungkook felt his heart drop straight out of his chest. He felt himself start to shake violently with fear and the tears got worse. He was hyperventilating. He understood why the guy seemed familiar. He's seen the documentaries. Oh how he wished he hadn't seen those documentaries. Jungkook stared at the guy with wide eyes, "No..you're...not...you're not..."

The man put his hand out for a handshake, "Most call me Cannibal Kris, nice to meet you, Jungkook."

The maknae tried backing as far away as possible to the point he thought his body itself would break through the car door. He banged and kicked the door and window harder and screamed even louder even though they were practically in the woods at this point.

"Please! Please!" He begged, "Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!" He didn't know it was possible to be this terrified. If this serial killer didn't kill him, he figured an oncoming heart attack surely would.

"I'm...I..please don't kill me," Jungkook kept begging, "I just want to go home! I just want hyungs!" he cried. He cried harder thinking of his hyungs. He figured Yoongi must've known something was wrong when he wasn't at the market. "I..I..I swear you don't want to kill me ...or...e...eat me...I haven't showered today and I..I.." Jungkook didn't really know what to say. At this point he was desperate to say anything to get this man to let him go. He didn't care if he was dumped in the middle of the forest having to fend for himself, anything would be better than this. He knew the reports of how nobody ever made it away from this man alive. He exhausted himself both physically and emotionally trying to get out of the truck while crying and begging for mercy. The truck pulled into a long driveway in the woods. He had no idea where they were. The house appeared to be a little log cabin. Kris got out and then went over and opened Jungkook's door. The maknae tried to make an immediate run for it but found himself falling to the ground instead. It was like Kris was entirely made of armor, he'd never felt anyone so strong. He lifted Jungkook into the air and started walking inside. The maknae tried to use any strength left in him to get out of the mans grip. He kicked and screamed. He even tried to bite the man on the arm but that proved useless. He kept kicking Kris, "Put me down! Let me go!" he kept pleading. As soon as they entered the house Jungkook's eyes watered and stung. The place smelled of rotting flesh and he realized that there were probably dead bodies in this house. He felt this mornings breakfast crawl back up his throat. He clutched his hands over his nose and mouth to try and not breathe it in. The man dragged him down into a dark basement and cuffed him to a metal pipe before retreating back upstairs.

"No! No!" Jungkook kept screaming to himself as he tried prying his hands through the cuffs. He was willing to do anything to free himself, even break his fingers if he needed to. However that was a lot easier said than done and as his wrists were being cut raw from the metal he didn't have it in him anymore to keep trying. He noticed how rancid it smelled in the basement and looked over and saw exactly what he didn't want to see.

A body in the corner.

He clenched his eyes closed and sobbed. That's going to be me. He started whispering to himself, "Someone help, please someone help me."

A while later he heard the basement door open and tensed up when he heard someone coming down the stairs. It was Kris. He tried crawling away but there was nowhere to go, he was trapped to a metal pole. Kris walked over to him without saying a word and stared down at him.

"Get away from me!" Jungkook screamed. Kris bent down and stared at Jungkook face to face. He hated how Kris seemed to not talk. It made him even creepier. He wondered what he was thinking or planning to do. "I'll do whatever you want if you just let me go," he cried. Kris didn't respond. Instead it seemed like he began to inspect Jungkook, looking him over. The maknae was increasingly freaked out, "What the hell do you want from me?!" Jungkook screamed. Kris suddenly grabbed one of Jungkook's arms and his shoulder. "Hey, stop! Stop touching me, what are you doing?!" he cried. Kris jerked his hands and Jungkook felt and heard something in his shoulder crack. "Ahh!! Ahhh!" he started screaming. He instantly knew it was broken, "Stop! Stop!" Without a word Kris backed away with a smile and retreated back up the stairs.

I'm going to die. Hyungs aren't going to find me in time. The thought alone made Jungkook curl up and cry to himself. His shoulder was on fire. The slightest movements made him scream. 

The rest of the members had split up and gathered into separate police cars. Thankfully they were getting a lot of tips from a lot of locals and they all seemed to be headed in the same direction. Yoongi was having the toughest time with this. He felt like this was all his fault. He figured none of this would have happened if he had only called Jungkook sooner, got there sooner, done something sooner.

"Do you think he'll be okay? You're a cop, do you think he's still okay? I mean he wouldn't kill him this quickly right? Do you think he killed him?" Yoongi was asking the cop a million questions. He needed someone to tell him that Jungkook was going to be okay but his heart broke more when the cop simply replied, "That Kris guy is unpredictable, I'm sorry but I don't know."

Yoongi asked if they could pull over for a second. He got out of the car, dropped to his knees on the side of the road and got sick. Once he was done he quickly got back in the car a crying mess. I'm so sorry Jungkook. Hyungs are coming.

The hints the police were getting lead everyone to a cabin in the woods. As soon as they all saw a red truck in the driveway they knew they had to have the right place. All of the members ran out of the police cars but the police told them to stop and wait because they didn't know what would happen inside.

"No! If he's in there we need to save him!" Jimin screamed. Suddenly ambulances and helicopters could be heard coming in as well. The cops chased after the members inside the cabin.

Jungkook could hear sirens and everything. He was so exhausted he thought he was just imagining himself being saved. The pain from his shoulder was making him feel sick and delirious. Everything felt like a dream already so he figured this must be part of it. Maybe this was him dying, he didn't know. Suddenly Kris came running down the stairs, "Time to go!" he said laughing. He started undoing Jungkook's handcuffs. The movement made Jungkook start screaming as his shoulder shot lightning bolts of pain through his body. He realized this was real. It had to be. People were actually here to save him.

"No! HELP! HELP!" he started screaming, "DOWN HERE! HELP!" Kris grabbed Jungkook up to his feet and smacked him in the face to get him to stop screaming but it didn't work. The maknae knew this might be his only chance at being saved so he wasn't willing to give up no matter how badly Kris hurt him. He kept screaming, "HELP! IN THE BASEMENT! HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!"

Kris took Jungkook and threw him to the ground and he screamed in pain as he felt something else in his shoulder shift. "I told you to shut the hell up!" Kris screamed before picking him back up. He went to lead him up the stairs and once they were at the top they were instantly met with police officers at the door. Luckily for Jungkook, they had heard him screaming. Jungkook felt like fireworks were going off inside his body and he couldn't tell if it was the pain from his shoulder or adrenaline from seeing cops in front of him. To make it even better, he saw his hyungs running towards him.

"Let him go!" Taehyung screamed.

"Okay." Kris took Jungkook and threw him down the basement stairs before cops tackled him to the ground. Jungkook screamed in pain and his hyungs barged past what was happening in the doorway and ran for him, "Jungkook!" Hobi screamed. They all surrounded him at the bottom. Jin went to pick him up into a hug but he started screaming in pain as he clutched his shoulder.

"What? What did he do to you? It's okay hyungs are here! Oh you poor thing!" Jin cried.

"Thank God you're alive!" Namjoon cried. Jungkook held onto all of them with his good arm. The relief that was coursing through his body was something he'd never felt before. The same with his hyungs. They couldn't believe they had actually gotten to him in time. They had their maknae back. They could tell something was wrong with Jungkook's shoulder.

"He broke it," Jungkook cried. He didn't need any kind of doctor to confirm it was broken. He could easily tell. Paramedics were soon in the basement with him and he was surrounded by police as well. The members suddenly realized that there was a body in the basement and knew it was time to get the hell out of there. They had a ton of questions but right now it was save Jungkook first and ask questions later. The paramedics helped bring him upstairs and by the time they got there Kris was already captured and well on his way to a lifetime in a max security prison. Unfortunately for the members Jungkook was immediately shoved into an ambulance and taken from them. Some of the police officers offered to escort them to the hospital while the rest took care of things at the cabin.

The members were anxious and impatient having to wait to be allowed to see Jungkook. They clung to the fact that he was alive and seemed to be relatively okay despite his shoulder injury and some cuts on his wrists. After about three hours they were allowed to see him again. His whole arm was bandaged up and he had a sling on. The members ran to him and smothered him with gentle hugs. Taehyung started planting kisses all over his forehead. They were all in tears telling him how grateful they were that he was alive.

"I'm so sorry," Yoongi cried, "I'm so sorry I wasn't there in time."

"It's not your fault hyung, I'm the one who messed up. I got in the truck with him," Jungkook pouted. He realized how stupid he sounded.

"What do you mean you got in the truck with him? Why would you get in a truck with someone you didn't know?" Namjoon asked confused. He was sure his maknae knew better than to ever do anything like that.

Jungkook started crying, "I don't...I don't know....the store was right there and a man offered to drop me off and I should've....I should've just walked...I'm sorry.."

"Don't apologize. I still feel like this is my fault. I should have told you why I wanted you home. I should have told you what was going on so you knew," Yoongi pouted. The members informed him of why Yoongi had called him in the first place and Jungkook kept reminding Yoongi that it still wasn't his fault.

"Have hyungs not taught you better than to do something like that?! Jungkook you were almost killed by a serial killer!" Jin scolded.

"I'm sorry." Tears fell from Jungkook's eyes. Jin's heart broke more. He was angry that Jungkook made that mistake which almost cost him his life but he couldn't stay mad for long knowing how differently this situation could have turned out. He wasn't about to take Jungkook still being alive for-granted. Hobi and Jimin were both running their fingers through his hair to comfort him. Jin apologized for seeming so upset and rubbed Jungkook's arm. They asked him more questions and he told them everything that happened. The police had Jungkook's busted phone and Hobi offered to buy him a new one. After a while of crying and talking together, the members decided it was time to lighten the mood and started joking around with their maknae.

"I'm glad you weren't eaten," Hobi chuckled. The rest of the members started joking about what Jungkook would taste like with different spices and they all had Jungkook laughing. Thankfully he seemed to be mentally okay too, although he was still quite shaken up. He found comfort in knowing Kris was caught. Yoongi also made a point that Jungkook wasn't allowed to walk alone anywhere anymore. Nobody was. From now on they had to use a buddy system if anyone ever wanted to walk anywhere. Nobody protested.

"I'd say it's definitely been quite a day," Jin joked. Jungkook looked at him and couldn't help but laugh too,

"You're telling me."

[The End]
