"I saw him."
Yoongi's face was grim as he sent the photo he had taken at the café.
"What the fuck? Are you sure this isn't Yoon-woo?" – Hobi
"Well, technically. HE. IS. YOON-WOO." – Namjoon
Silence took over them. That same day, evening, they're having their second group call. Yoongi having confirmed what Taehyung saw- took a candid photo to send to the other two.
"Fuck, I feel like my head's bout to explode. Is this some kind of joke? Who the fuck would dare?"
Taehyung grabs the canned alcohol and drinks half of it.
"Focus on Masaki Suda. I'll try to dig more info about this Yoon-woo and I'll get back to you once I get something."
Namjoon reminds them all.
"Yea, we better settle Suda before he could get away."
Yoongi adds and tries to get the files organized on the coffee table.

A week later...
"Hey, have you heard anything from them?"
Jimin asks his brother on the other line.
"Well, Namjoon said they're still preparing. If everything goes well, they'll come back next month."
Jin answers.
"That's what Yoongi told me but he said it might take more than a month."
Jimin sighs.
"Hey, Kook."
Jin calls the youngest as he hasn't spoken anything since the start of their call.
"Huh? Oh, yeah."
Jungkook responds robotically.
"Don't tell me Taehyung's still not answering your messages and calls?"
Jimin suspects with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"Hyung, come on. We all know they're busy. And maybe Taehyungie hyung is just really occupied right now."
He defends his boyfriend even though he feels uneasy for some reason. Taehyung goes out of the radar from time to time but it's not like this. This is the longest since the became official that the older hasn't contacted him.
It's strange.
Jungkook brushes it off.

Japan...
"Did you check the message from RM earlier? Our informant has a location, not 100% sure but it's worth checking." – Suga
"Got it. I'll move ASAP. Are you going back next week?"
V asks the older one about going back to South Korea.
