Jungkook was driving as fast as he could, and yet still it was not fast enough. 

"Come on, come on, come on," Namjoon urged the cars in front of them, his vision flicking between the traffic ahead and the small flashing dot on his phone screen. They had been driving for twenty minutes now, speeding towards this man's location as it moved across Seoul. 

Namjoon's heart was rabbiting against his chest. The car was quiet, neither Jungkook or Yoongi daring to say anything. They had never seen Namjoon this way before.

Jungkook overtook a row of cars dangerously, swerving back into the fastest lane. "How close are we?" he dared to ask.

Namjoon squeezed his phone tight. "Not close enough," he managed. "Faster, Kookie."

Jungkook's grip on the steering wheel tightened, his face pained. "Hyung, I want to find her just as much as you do, but this is the fastest I can-"

"Wait, it's stopped," Namjoon said suddenly, watching as the dot came to a stop down by the riverside. "The warehouses on the south side of the river. Go."

Awful thoughts flooded Namjoon's mind about what this Baek-yu was doing in a strip of abandoned warehouses. It couldn't be anything good. And if he wasn't driving any more, it meant his hands were free now. To touch Celine. Or hurt Celine. Or-

Namjoon tried to stop catastrophising in his head, but he couldn't. The itch was nearly unbearable now. 

Yoongi eyed him in concern. "Namjoon, it might be best if you stay in the car, you don't look great-"

"No," he uttered darkly. And both of his friends knew better than to challenge him on that.

Soon - but not nearly soon enough for Namjoon's liking - Jungkook's car was skidding to a halt alongside the warehouses. Namjoon glanced up at them, his stomach roiling.

There were so many. And he had no idea which one Baek-yu was in. 

He glanced down at the flashing dot, praying it was accurate as he stumbled from the car. The moment he stood upright, the itch flared throughout his body, threatening to drag him into unconsciousness. He stumbled, gripping the car door for support.

Shit, he thought. Shit, there's not much time-

Jungkook was by his side in a flash. Namjoon had an awful feeling he was about to tell him to stay put.
