(I recommend to go back and re-read the previous chapter if you don't remember what happened there. It's been a while since I updated🙈)

"I'm sorry sir, we didn't find anything. It seems like the man has been swiped off the world's book" a woman's gentle voice speaks from the other end of the line, the tone as friendly as possible. V lets out a frustrated sigh and squints his eyes shut tightly, the information killing his brain cells.

He knew to wait for this and now that it's confirmed that Jeon Byuk can't be found in any registers in Korea, he definitely has something strong against the man in law. It's not normal to not have your name booked after borning.

There's no other explanations than him living in another country for a very long time, even though he is full Korean by blood. It's actually pretty common that people move from their home country and change nationalitys, but the fact that his name isn't in any books of Korean popility is odd.

Like even the books from when he was born... His profile doesn't tell about him changing names either and there goes the only thing that could be a possible mislead in this story. How come there was so little amount of information about him in anywhere, when he literally owned a well coping company in Japan?

The profile V had was everything anyone knew about the man. They had spent a year, finding possible evidence that the man had stealed from V's dad's company and now that the information had been found, the idiot assistant went and screwed up everything!

The evidence must be found as fast as possible so they can maybe find more information on the man through them. Something like his personal bank account and his register in Japan. Was the man even in Korea legally right now?

V knows the man, Jeon Byuk has two sons and their age difference is about two to three years, judged by the picture they found. They have no idea who is the mom of the sons and whatever they are blood related or not.

Clearly the dad wasn't at least in straight contact with his children so they are very hard to find too. Maybe if they found the boys, they would get some information from them, but that wasn't promised either.

If the boys were young when the dad left, they probably didn't have much memories of him and when they aren't in contact with him either, in that case they wouldn't be much of a help.

The picture they have, must have been taken when the boys were about four to five years old. And that makes it a good chance of the dad leaving when the boys were a little older than that or at least as old as that. Maybe the older son has some memories of him after all? Of course these were just guessings, and they can't be sure of anything.

They had Byuk in jail for now, but if they aren't able to prove his guiltiness in the stealing case in the court session after a month, he would be freed and V's dad wouldn't get his money back and his company would surely collapse.

The company is well off and it produces hugely, but if they lose the amount of money they have losed now, it will be extremely hard to pay salary to the stuff and the raw materials to produce the products for sale. 

Groaning in frustration, Taehyung smashes the files on the table with a loud sound and searches for his phone, not bothering to look where it is. Not long after, his slender fingers come across the phone when being swiped over the wooden surface of the table and he immediately graps it.

The school day has went on like it started, nothing exciting happens and everything continues to be annoying. For Jungkook's happiness, Jimin has detention after school and he gets to walk home alone. These are the moments he wants to be all alone and breath some fresh air, the night is going to be full of people anyway.

Like always, Jungkook stops in front of an unfamiliar grocery store and clenches his hand into small fists, hopefully this goes as well as always.

After pulling the black hood of his big hoodie, the young boy steps into the store and quickly walks in, not greeting the middle aged woman who's working as the cashier at the moment, he can't afford being seen.

He keeps his gaze down so that the security cameras can't catch his face and makes his way at the back of the store, grapping a few packets of instant noodles, a bottle of water and his personal favourite, a small cartoon of banana milk.

The items are pretty easy to stuff in his pockets but the water bottle stays in his hand like always. With a last glance at the cashier who seems to be busy scrolling on her phone, the boy takes a deep sigh before closing his eyes and taking a sprint for the door.

"Hey! You didn't pay for-hey, come back young man!!", the cashier finally screams when the young boy opens the door and runs out in a hurry. The woman realizes what's happening and quickly runs after.

The food in his pockets weights a bit and his steps feel heavy but there's no way he can slow down his pace. He can hear the woman's screaming from behind and the few people walking on the street give him confused looks.

"Grap him!! He stole from my store GRAP HIMM!!", the woman screams and in a second the once confused looks turn in scowls and disgustes ones but no one does anything to stop him.

"Mister hey! Grap him, he's a tief!!", the woman screams again and finally seems like she's not following anymore as Jungkook glnaces back st her and notices the woman standing there with a phone pressed against her ear.

Right as Jungkook's about to turn his head back to where he's heading, he comes in contact with a hard chest and all the stuff from his pockets spread out on the street. The boy doesn't even get a chance to realize what's happening before a hand graps strongly at the collar of his hoodie and he's being lifted up from the ground.

"You pitiful piece of shit! The people like you deserve to-YOU?!", the voice causes Jungkook's throat to closen and his eyes widen before he finally brings himself to raise his gaze from the ground.

Yes, the ocean deep voice didn't fail to send the same shivers down his spine they had back in the club last time. The sharp eyes and jaw line are the same too, this is the man whose wife slapped him the night before.

"You are fucking pathetic. Can't even use the money you have gained when whoring around huh? Spent them to drugs and dresses huh?", the man growls in anger and disgust, his sharp eyes boring into Jungkook's scared ones. This is it, he's gonna get caught and taken to the police.

His mom is going to murder him and he will have a criminal record. The man lets out a dark chuckle which didn't sound anything similiar to genuine, sarcastic is all Jungkook heard.

"Can't even answer. I wonder what my dear cousin will say when he hears about his beloved whore being in jail", the man says again with a smirk on his face.

"C-cousin?", is all the scared teen can mutter out and Taehyung starts laughing again.

"Namjoon, you are Namjoon's little whore aren't you?" Jungkook can feel his breath hitch and suddenly pieces from last night click in place. That's how they knew each other.

Before Jungkook can answer anything, a familiar sound of police siren is heard and Jungkook can feel his whole world crashing down."P-please! Please Mr.Kim please! I-I can't-please!!", the desperate boy starts crying and kicking around in the man's strong grip.

For some unknown reason the man feels something weird inside him when he wathes the helpless boy squirm in his grip. The boy looks so small and fragile when the police men finally get a hold of him and start dragging him towards the police car after nodding Taehyung a thanks.

When the car drives away and the boy's cries can't be heard anymore, Taehyung sighs to himself and shakes his head in frustration. He's a lowlife who whores around and steals his food when he clearly has money to buy it with. He has no reason to pity him.

He scoffs at the thought and takes a step forward to continue his way to meet his parents but something stops him. He feels something rather soft under his expensive leather shoe and he takes a step back to see a small black abandoned wallet lay there.

He scoffs again at the small item, the boy even had a wallet with him and still decided to steal, what a pathetic criminal. He crouches down and takes the wallet in his hand out of curiosity.

The wallet is small and worn out and unexpectly doesn't seem to carry any money in it. Suddenly his eyes catch a small worn out picture in one of the pockets that are inside the small item, placed there for storage room.

The picture is worn out and seemingly old but it doesn't make it impossible to see the faces and colors in it. Taehyung's eyes widen when he realizes the familiarity in it and when he takes the white card from behind it and reads, his accusations seem to be right.

Jeon Jungkook.

He flips the small picture around again as if to confirm his eyes aren't betraying him and they really aren't.

He waists no time in sprinting back to his office, getting in his car and heading towards the police station, this is his opportunity to solve the case.

Jungkook's eyes are puffy from crying and now he finally feels like there's none left to cry. Well, actually he just realized that there's no reason for him to cry anymore as there's nothing he could do about the situation anyway.

They have just arrived at the police station and it seems to be pretty busy in there so he hasn't been investicated yet, he's still only a pitiful shoplifter and there's so much more important crimes to investicate in.

"Jeon Jungkook?", a deep voice finally speaks up from somewhere in front of him, causing the tired boy to lift his heavy head and look the person in the eyes. All he can see in the man's eyes are boredom and slight disgust as he eyes the poor boy's hooded eyes.

As speaking up would cause too much work for the vocal cords, Jungkook just nods his head once and shifts his empty gaze back to the floor. "Answer with words so I can be sure I have the right person", the same voice says again, the annoyance clear in his tone.

"Yes", Jungkook mutters, this time not even bothering to raise his head. "So, first we'll have to contact your parents and then we'll talk about the matter in hand. I guide you to be obedient so everything will go the easiest way for you", the man mutters sounding like he has said the same sentence for thousands of times in the years of being a cop.

Jungkook can only let out a chuckle in response and the man looks at him again, his black eyes observing the young boy's features. "What's so funny about this kid? Do you understand that you are only distroying your own future with the actions you have just committed?"

The man sounds annoyed again but his tone is slightly softer now. "Not gonna even lie, when I looked at you for the first time and realized that you are the one I'm supposed interview, I was shocked. You are still young and you seem to be a good kid from the outside. Maybe you have gone through some tough stuff but-",

"Shut up!! Just.. shut the fuck up!", the young boy suddenly yells and stands up from the chair. The police officer is caught off guard by the sudden loud yell and so seems to be everyone in the room.

"You know nothing about me and my life so just fuck off and don't act like you do!", Jungkook yells again and then hears a light chuckle come from somewhere in the now quiet room.

"Sit down please-", the officer can't even finish his sentence when a sudden bang is heard from the door. Now everyone's eyes snap to look at the previously closed door and the panting man in front of it.

The police officer's eyes widen when he recognises the man and bows down quickly despite the confusion that he feels from the sudden presence.

"Mr. Kim, how can I help you? Did you come for mr.Je-", "NO!", the man yells and almost everyone in the room flinches from the loud yell of one of the most powerful men in Korea.

The man seems to be a bit embarrassed of his own sudden yell and clears his throat with a cough. "I came here to tell about a misunderstanding", the man finally says with a glance towards a wide eyed Jungkook who's standing right behind the clueless officer.

"Misunderstanding?", the officer voices out in confusion and follows the man's gaze, whose eyes lead to the boy behind him. "Jeon Jungkook?", the officer asks again when he realizes who the man is talking about.

"Yes. I am the one who reported his crime, but I have to let you know that it was a misunderstanding. The real culprit managed to escape the situation and the shop owner accused this young boy of a stealing he didn't attempt."

At this point the rest of the police officers in the room have started to continue their jobs and the room is filled with chatter and noises again, this causing Jungkook to be left unknow of the topic the two men are discussing about.

After a few minutes, Jungkook can see the police officer bow down in front of the cocky fucker and after that the said man starts walking towards him with a blank expression. Jungkook gulps loudly because of the dark look in the man's eyes but tries to cover his nervousness when he keeps taking steps towards him.

"You are coming with me", the man says before grapping the confused boy's wrist and dragging him to the door, not even sharing a glance towards the bowing police officer as he walks past him.

Only when they both are standing outside Jungkook finally realizes what just happened and opens his mouth to say something, only to be cut off by the annoying man in front of him.

"Just know that I didn't do this for you or my cousin. I despise people like you, I did this for my own benefit", the man growls in his deep voice, the hate and disgust evident in his tone and face when he looks in the teenagers eyes.

Jungkook just stands there, not knowing what to say. The man starts to walk away from him before making a sudden stop and turning back to face the boy.

"Tell my greetings to Namjoon", he says with a disgusting smirk and throws a familiar looking wallet in front of his feet before turning back around and climbing in a black sport car.
