NAMJOON's POV

"Sora?" I keep calling her name but she won't respond. Perhaps she's already asleep. I looked at her and she was sleeping. I sat beside her and brush the strands of her hair away from her face.

I pecked her forehead and caressed her head. Softly not to wake her up. Whenever I remember her state that time, I feel really angry at myself. I'm so useless. I can't even protect her. I swore to her that I will always protect her but I made her experienced that terrifying event.

Guilt, anger, disappointment is eating me. I'm so useless.

"Sora, I'm sorry that I can't protect you. I promise that it will never happen again. I will never let you experience something like that again. I'm so sorry. I love you" I whispered to her. She stirs in her sleep. Did I wake her up? I waited for a second but she is sleeping soundly. I sigh in relief.

I contacted secretary Jung to run some errands. We still need to find Yoongi Hyung. This is tiring and frustrating.

Where did they hide him? What do they want?

I look at Sora's sleeping form. I calmed myself.

"Kim Namjoon clear your thoughts. Stay focused. Don't panic. You can do this" I said trying to meditate. A few minutes after I calmed down, I heard a knock. I went to the door and look at the peephole to see who it was.

"Hyung it's me, Jimin" I sigh and open the door. I let him in and offered him to sit on the couch.

"Did you find any clue?" I asked but he just shook his head with disappointment. "All the traces are erased. They planned it well," he answered.

"This is really my fault. I'm not being careful. Because of me, this happened" he said blaming his self.

"No one's really blaming you. Every one of us has shortcomings. What matters the most is the actions you will take to overcome your shortcomings. This sudden attack and abduction were out of our hands" I told him.

"Yeah, but I was the one who" "No" I disagreed firmly.

"Nobody is perfect Jimin. Being perfect is wishful thinking. You thought about us who are being overworked and stress. You thought about our well-being that is why you suggested going on a vacation and we are more than grateful for your thoughtfulness. This thing that is happening right now is just a problem that happened to be on our way. It's not your fault. No one's to blame. But we are to blame if we don't do something to pass through this storm. Remember Jimin. It is normal to feel guilt and blame yourself for something you don't have control with, hence, it brought disaster for others but what is more regretful is doing nothing to overcome it than beating yourself up because of it"

I don't know if I've reached his mind but still, those are the only words that I can offer right now. He might be feeling responsible. If I were in his shoes, I will feel the same.

"Namjoon Hyung. I'm really sorry for being pathetic" he said and tried to laugh but he failed.

"You are right, I should not be consumed by these pathetic feelings instead think of something so that we can resolve our problem immediately," he said and slapped both of his cheeks. My eyes widen, I was surprised.

"Why did you slap yourself?" I asked concern. Now his cheeks were turning red.

"It's my punishment," he said. "Well you don't have to hurt yourself you know," I said.

"Yeah, I know, and I kind of regretting it right now," he said. Tears are coming out of his eyes and he was wincing in pain.

I sigh and looked for some ointment to give him.

"You're really an idiot Jimin," I remarked. He just chuckled but agreed with me. "Yeah"

"Jiminie-pabo" I looked at him and he just looked like a kid smiling with a beaten face.

"We will find Yoongi hyung" he said with a serious face. I smiled.

"Of course," I told him with confidence.

As long as we are together, we can pass through this mess.

YOONGI's POV

I keep thinking of a way out but I cannot. They tied up my whole body except my head. Damn, what's more, upsetting is that I look like spoiled sushi.

Whoever tied me has no talent in arts.

I carefully observed my surroundings but it is a bit dark. I sigh. I guess I just need to wait for my abductor to show themselves.

"How's the hostage?" I heard two men talking to each other.

"He is inside and we made sure that he was tied up so he can't escape now" the other answered.

Tsk.

The door opened revealing a man who's almost as tall as Namjoon, but if I guess from his face, he is in his mid-20's.

"Min Yoongi," he said my name.

"huh? Who are you talking about?" I tried to bluff. The man looked confused.

"That's your name isn't it?" he asked unsure as well.

Guess I still have hope to escape.

"I'm sorry but who is that? I don't know him. M-My name is not Yoongi. I just went to the Comfort room to return the phone that I found then I was abducted" I explained acting scared.

Min Yoongi, you're a good actor. You are the best man!

"hey, I thought it was him?!" The man was flustered. "I don't know. Boss said to abduct the man who will enter the bathroom holding a phone, and it was him. Look the phone have the conversation of him and Boss" his companion explained.

"But I'm not lying. I'm not Min Yong-who ever that is. I'm just doing some good deeds that my parents taught me when I was a kid and look what I've got. I was abducted and was alone with you guys, defenseless" I said faking a cry.

"Are you not that inspector Min Yoongi?" the man asked again.

"I'm not him!" I shouted still acting. Gosh. This is harder than I thought. I need to plan my escape route. This man out here is funny though. He can be easily manipulated.

"How come you are not Min Yoongi then?"

I was about to answer but then a man in his late 20's entered and interrupted our conversation.

"He is bluffing. There's no way that he is not that inspector. Be careful, I heard that inspector is really cunning and manipulating" the man smirked and I just looked at him with a calm expression on my face.

Why do I feel like I've seen him before?

"But I'm not really him," I told him but then he showed us my picture in my uniform. Tsk.

"Now quit pretending," he said.

"ah ah, you blow my act. Tsk. I was 100 percent sure that I can easily manipulate these two minions here" I said in a bored tone.

"He looked really innocent earlier though. Gosh, I almost fell in his trap" the man in his mid-20 said.

"Right? I'm invincible in acting" I said proudly which pissed him off. I just smirked at him.

"Hyung can I beat him up?" he asked the man who blows up my acting.

"No can do, Boss is coming here" after he said that. A man wearing a black suit entered the room with a smirked on his face.

"Well look who we have here" the man to who they are referring to as their Boss started speaking. I can't really see his face because the light was dim.

Not after he walk more closely to me that I saw his face. My eyes widen.

"You are" I started and he was smirking at me.

"Who are you?" I asked uninterested and confused.

Why does he look so confident staring at me? Do I know him?

"Do I know you?" I added. Their eyes are wide open and they have a dumbfounded look on their faces, especially their Boss. His mouth is wide open.

"I can't believe him" I heard murmurs. "what?" I asked confused. What's wrong with these guys?
