chocochip_kookie:
u guys Tae is freaking out hardcore right now

luckyboi:
goats eat his Gucci slides or smth

chocochip_kookie:
no I meant smth serious

jiminieee:
what's wrong ?? :(

chocochip_kookie:
well after we dropped u and yugyeom and yoongi off Tae wanted to visit home to see kookie monster or wtvr
and like
he did
and while we were there Tae was going to give youjin an early birthday gift in case he didn't get the chance to visit home again before then .
the door was unlocked
but youjin wasn't home
tae called his parents and just asked where she was and they said she is home
meaning they don't know either

jiminieee:
no don't scare me like this cmon Jungkook...
she's gotta be somewhere around the house right?
maybe sleeping or hiding in a weird place ?

chocochip_kookie:
no Tae checked everywhere
and I checked too
she's not here or in the backyard
tae's parents went out for dinner so youjin had apparently been the only one home

YourMcHobi:
wait I thought Tae had another sister ?

chocochip_kookie:
he does, she's the older one who's married.
Tae asked her too
but I think he didn't want to worry her so he was kinda vague about it just like he was with his parents
idk
he's literally pacing back and forth right now talking to himself

yugibear:
I'm guessing he already tried calling her phone?

chocochip_kookie:
yeah...
it went immediately to voicemail
that's another reason Tae is freaking out
he looks like he's about to cry
ugh I don't know what to do...

joonie:
are there any places she goes a lot?
like a park or the library or mall or something

chocochip_kookie:
I don't know...I don't know his sister well
I'll ask Tae
thx for the suggestion namjoon

joonie:
no need to thank me
I hope u find her

jiminieee:
Jungkook?
any update?

chocochip_kookie:
yeah
I suggested to Tae what Namjoon said
apparently youjin does go to the mall with her friends sometimes but it's a decent distance from the house, it's unlikely she'd walk there and he told me she's as hopeless with public transportation as u r Jimin...

jiminieee:
fair enough...;-;
what about the library?
I mean I kinda doubt it, youjin never really cared much for libraries
but still...

chocochip_kookie:
library's closed at this hour Tae said
he doesn't know about the park but we're gonna check there anyway just in case

luckyboi:
let us know if u guys need help looking for her, I can drive over

chocochip_kookie:
I don't think tae wants that
I mean I even suggested asking jimin to come over
he's made this his own personal mission I'm honestly surprised he's even letting me help him
anyway i better go, I'll get back to u guys

It made Taehyung sick to his stomach. And Jungkook could see that.

"So there is a park near your house?"

"Yeah," Tae blurted, only half-paying attention to what Jungkook was saying. He was already out the front door and Jungkook had to run after him before he could get too far.

"Tae, just calm down-"

"No, no, I'm not going to calm down." He looked Jungkook dead in the eye, but just for a moment, before turning towards the ground. His breathing was unsteady. "Youjin can be an annoying girl sometimes, but she wouldn't do something like this. She's not that irresponsible. She, she wouldn't just leave the house without letting someone know, and leave the door unlocked, and her phone, she never ignores me when I call."

Jungkook swallowed his breath. "Why don't you actually tell your parents she's gone? They'd want to know, wouldn't they?"

"I won't," Tae said stubbornly. "I don't want them to worry, either. I'll find Youjin on my own."

"Tae, c'mon, that's-"

"I'm scared, Jungkook."

Such a harsh, brittle tone. Jungkook couldn't remember ever hearing Taehyung speak this way. And he didn't want to hear it, either, because it hurt his heart. The boy was in an unstable, irrational state right now, unable to function properly most likely thanks to the dread in his mind and the terrible thoughts of what could have happened to Youjin.

Jungkook wished he knew what to say--rather, wished he could more confidently say, Tae, it's gonna be alright, you're overthinking things, she's fine. But he didn't know Youjin the way Taehyung did. So instead, Jungkook simply reached out and took Tae's hand, hoping with all his might that he wouldn't be pushed away.

Taehyung hesitated. Sighing, he raised his arm and kissed Jungkook's hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm letting it get to me."

"Tae, you don't have to apolog-"

"Could you do me a favor, Kookie?"

Jungkook stopped and gazed into Taehyung's eyes.

"I'm sorry, but could you wait at the house?" He asked. "In case...Youjin decides to come back home?"

He didn't want to. Jungkook really did not want to leave Tae, but he was weak to the boy's sweet and sad tone of voice. He watched Tae's expression for a long moment. Then, in great reluctance, he nodded. But he didn't leave before planting a quick, gentle kiss on Taehyung's cheek.

"Call me if you find out anything."

"You do the same."

With that, Jungkook turned back around and went back into Taehyung's house, while Taehyung went on his way to see if he'd have any luck at the park.

With no one home, the house was silent. And it was agonizing, and extremely discomforting, but for Tae, Jungkook would deal with it.

I just hope he finds her.

Please be okay, Youjin.
