Kpop fans and the world at large are thrown into turmoil when the rising global sensation BTS, Bangtan Sonyeondan are kidnapped in the dead of night. As the world reels in confusion the young men of BTS find themselves living a nightmare from which...
Namjoon thought his heart would explode at the sight of a smile he had not seen in months. It was the true smile of his beloved Hobi, the one full of life and hope. It was the kind of smile that had made the world fall in love with Jung Hoseok, known as J-Hope. A smile he had thought gone forever and yet there it was.

He turned to Mathan and seeing the man's blue eyes on him, Namjoon bowed his head in thanks.
At that smile on Hoseok's face Jin turned his smile fully to Mathan, thanking him silently for whatever hope he had given to his brother. He also saw a softening in the faces of Yoongi and Taehyung as they looked from Hoseok to Mathan.
Giving Hoseok a gentle push in Namjoon's direction Mathan moved over to Jungkook. Acting as if it were nothing he swept the maknae up into his arms, blankets and all.
"He needs to get fresh air," Mathan said at the curious glances from the others. "I won't keep him out long. He just needs to see how his lungs cope with the cold, so I know what we need to do if a chance to run comes up."
The others just nodded, torn between letting their sick maknae out in the cold and using this time to ask Hoseok what had happened to make him smile so.
While Mathan was taking Jungkook for a walk, the rest of Bangtan Sonyeondan crowded around Hoseok, each of them reaching out to touch and hug him. Namjoon gently tracing the tear tracks on his lover's face.
"Hobi," he whispered, an endearing smile gracing his worn features. "What..."
Hoseok smiled brightly again, more tears coming to his eyes as he recalled the image of Mathan's phone screen.
"We..." Hoseok tried, a sob escaping him as he took hold of Namjoon's hand. "They haven't..." Taking a deep breath and reining his emotions in, he continued. "The world...ARMY...they have not forgotten us. We...we were nominated for the awards shows..."
"What?" Namjoon asked in surprise.
"We won!" Hoseok exclaimed, opening his eyes and looking at his brothers. "I...only saw a few titles but...we won a daesang. We did it! Artist of the Year at Melon and...one of them said we swept the MAMAs but...We made it!"
The others stared at their brother in disbelief. Never in a million years had they ever dreamed they would have a daesang, especially not for artist of the year.
In that moment they knew that now more than ever they had to make it home, if only to thank their fans.
Making sure Jungkook was bundled Mathan carried him outside and sat him on a bench in a little concrete outpost, letting the boy lean against him and even wrapping an arm around him to try and shield him from the cold.
Jungkook sat there with his eyes closed. It was the first time he had been allowed outside and it was a little overwhelming.
"Take a few deep breaths and just relax," Mathan said softly, feeling the maknae comply against him. "You doing okay?"
