Everyone sat in the floor of the hotel room exhausted of having to look around another day. This was their second night at the motel and as much as they were against it at first they were glad Jin had convinced them to book one. It helped them all collect their thoughts and they were able to decide on what areas to search more.

Sunday nothing much had happened and they all had just been around searching through parts in abandoned houses. They found things from kids making out to people doing drug deals, both were unpleasant things to walk in on. And they all made it back to the hotel trying to decide on what to do next.

Hoseok had admitted to trying to call another personal detective but due to the fact that that was illegal it was a bit harder to do than they all thought. Their first detective of course had given them some information but they needed more help and Hoseok couldn't seem to get a hold of another detective to continue the case since they all said they were busy.

He even had offered next to all of Yoongi's money just so they could find the location to where Jimin was at but nobody agreed to his deals.

"So I think it's on the east side of the neighborhood." Jungkook said as he looked at the map they had bought at a local gas station. "That's where we all found the most suspicious houses so I feel like we should look there. It seems like the most reasonable thing to do."

"The most reasonable thing should be the police taking a missing person case seriously and actually doing their job." Yoongi muttered as he stared at the map, obviously frustrated. "People shouldn't have to illegally try to hire personal detectives or try to find their missing friends by themselves."

"I think that seems like a good idea." Hoseok said in response to Jungkook's comment. They all had grown accustomed to ignoring Yoongi's angry comments right now and Yoongi was especially more grumpy now that Hoseok was giving him the silent treatment. It had been over a day since Hoseok had talked to his boyfriend and that definitely was making Yoongi's mood worse. "Realistically that's the best option."

Hoseok seemed to be obsessed with the word realistic. When thinking about Jimin he couldn't help but think of all the horrible things that could have happened to him but that was realistic thinking. He could think how he might end up being okay and nothing have happened to him, but that wasn't so realistic.

Yoongi had said something about there being a chance he could be dead, and that was realistic.

"I brought back snacks! I know most of you didn't eat your food earlier since it was cold anyways." Jin said as he came back in the room along with Namjoon. "And I know some of you aren't going to sleep like you're supposed to so you should at least make sure to eat."

The last statement was aimed at Yoongi who just seemed to cross his arms annoyed.

"You brought banana milk!" Jungkook said as he jumped up his mood compeltely changing at the sight of his favorite drank. He moved quickly to hug Jin and Taehyung could only smile seeing that his boyfriend had slipped into little space. Although they had yet to talk about it, it was still comforting knowing that it allowed the youngest to stop stressing and Taehyung was willing to do anything to keep Jungkook happy. "I weally wike banana milk!"

"I know you do, Kookie."

Taehyung made his way over to where his boyfriend was and grabbed a snack and sat down. Jungkook seemed to move and find his way to snuggle up against his boyfriend as he sucked on his drink obviously exhausted from everything they had been doing looking for Jimin.

Jin and Namjoon decided to sit near the youngest couple as well as they started eating and let themselves relax for a bit. Being constantly stressed about the situation wasn't going to help anybody so they made sure to take short breaks to allow themselves to focus and think through things so they wouldn't do something they'd regret.

Like breaking into houses, which apparently Taehyung and Jungkook originally thought was the plan.

Yoongi simply sighed as he knew he was starting to have a migraine and he looked at Hoseok. He still was looking at the map and a concerned expression was etched across his face and Yoongi couldn't help but feel like he was the cause for that. He had gotten so stressed over everything he ended up voicing his concerns at Hoseok and made the situation worse for him.

He had been trying so hard to be the one Hoseok could rely on for once but he couldn't even seem to do that. All he had was anger issues and a short temper, the only good thing he was able to offer Hoseok was money and that didn't even seem to help the current issue.

Yoongi was beginning to feel like finding Jimin was impossible and he didn't want to lose Hoseok too. He wanted them to work together and find Jimin, not be separated like this.

"Hey," Yoongi said as he moved to sit beside Hoseok who just kept staring at the map. "Do you want to talk?"

"What's there to talk about? We're just focused on finding Jimin, that's the top priority."

"Of course Jimin is the top priority." Yoongi said as he frowned seeing Hoseok was refusing to look at him and instead was focused on reading the map. "That doesn't mean we can't have other priorities now too."

The redhead said nothing in response as he just kept pretending to read the map, wanting Yoongi to move away from him. He wanted to stay focused and his thoughts were all a jumbled mess, being around Yoongi just made him keep thinking about what the older had said the other day about Jimin possibly being dead.

Hoseok didn't want to think about that but with how realistic that option was it was beginning to scare him.

"I didn't mean to say what I did yesterday, I was just scared and took it out on you."  Yoongi said trying to get Hoseok to talk back to him. "I'm sorry I said something like that."

"But what you said is realistic, Jimin could be dead." Hoseok said quietly as he looked up at his boyfriend with tears in his eyes. "Do you think he's dead and we're already too late?"

"Of course not, I'm sure we'll be able to find him." Yoongi said as Hoseok wrapped his arms around him and started crying. The older glanced at everyone else left in the room who all seemed to get the message and get up to go to the car for a bit so the two could have privacy to talk things through. Jungkook already had fallen asleep so Taehyung just grabbed him and carried him out of the room as he followed his hyungs. "I didn't mean to throw my pessimism into your head. I was just being negative, saying he's dead wouldn't be realistic at all."

"You really think that we'll be able to find him?"

"Hoseok, I know so. With or without the police I am not going to stop until we get Jimin back, okay?" The younger seemed to fall back and Yoongi frowned realizing how exhausted he looked. "How about we get you to bed and we can go back looking later in the morning, okay? We can go search the east side just like you wanted."

"Okay." Hoseok said as he got up moving to the beds. They had pushed the two doubles together so they'd all have enough room to sleep and Hoseok laid on the far right side holding his arms out to his boyfriend. "You'll sleep beside me right?"

"Of course." Yoongi said smiling at his boyfriend as he turned off the lights to the room. He knew that the others would be back soon anyways and they had a room key so they could get back inside. They already had set an alarm for 6am so he wasn't worried about waking up right now. He was making sure Hoseok was okay and then they'd go back to searching for Jimin again. "I'll always be there to sleep beside you."
