After Jungkook's grand party, the next day, his parents can't help but to worry when they saw how sad Jungkook is.

Jungkook is in the living room, holding a blue converse shoe. Queen Jimin walks over and sits beside Jungkook, holding his hand, "Is there something wrong? Whose shoe is that?" Jimin asked.

King Yoongi appears in the living room, and sat on the sofa infront of them.

Jungkook sighs, "This is the only thing that Taehyung left me," he said, voice laced with sadness.

King Yoongi looks at the shoe he's holding and grunts, "I really hate converse." Jimin glares at him.

Queen Jimin looks back at Jungkook and caress his back, "Would you tell me who's Taehyung?"

He smiled bitterly, "He's the one I want to marry," Jimin gasps.

"Then... what are you planning to do now? Sulk all day?" Yoongi said, utterly annoyed with the converse shoe in sight.

Jungkook abruptly stands up, making the two look at him. Eyes now suddenly filled with determination.

"I need to find him."

Taehyung slowly opens his eyes and sits up but groans afterward, laying in the cold, dirty floor again.

He furrowed his eyebrows as he felt his whole body aching so bad after the series of events that happened yesterday.

He felt his back and neck aching more because of laying too long in the flat surface. Grunting, he tries to stand up but hisses when he felt the pain from his ass.

Damn Jungkook (back at it again with a magic wand)

He felt a pang in his chest after remembering Jungkook.

I want to marry you.

He looks at his surroundings and remembered that he's locked up inside the basement, the only light that illuminates the basement is from the very small window and the light slipping through the door.

He slowly crawls up to the stairs. He tries to open the door again, but stopped when the door abruptly opens, revealing Baekhyun with his eyebrow raised.

"Oh, trying to escape?" he said mockingly but then he suddenly noticed something on Taehyung's neck. "What's that?"

He lowers down his head and pulls Taehyung's hair upward, revealing his neck full of hickeys that Jungkook gave him.

Baekhyun gasps and lets go of his hair. "Oh my, mom! Taehyung have hickeys all over his neck!"

Taehyung widened his eyes and before he could react, Daehyun and Taeyong appears, shocked.

They didn't notice it yesterday.

How could they be so blind.

"You're right! Y-You..." Daehyun said, hands shaking while pointing his finger at Taehyung. "You left the house just to have fun and fuck someone! You worthless whore!" he's about to slap him and Taehyung closes his eyes shut, waiting for the impact.

But his hand stopped mid air when he heard one of their maids talk, "U-Uhm sorry for disturbing but... someone is knocking on the door saying that they're here since the Prince is looking for someone."

After hearing that, they made a series of gasps as the three of them runs, ofcourse, not forgetting to lock the basement's door, closing it shut right infront of Taehyung's face.

"Okay! Open the door!" they hurriedly said as he hears their footsteps starting to fade.

"Prince Jungkook!" Taeyong shouted from the distance. Taehyung looks bewildered as he slams his fist on the door very hard.

"Jungkook!"

Meanwhile, Jungkook felt like he heard someone calling his name.

Ofcourse, this is the house he visits first because of the incident yesterday.

Jungkook looks to the direction where it came from but Daehyun blocked his eyeview.

"Prince Jungkook! We're really sorry for what happened yesterday! Please forgive us!" he pleaded as he bows in front of him, along with his two sons.

"It's okay." Jungkook mumbled coldly, more interested with the voice and the loud banging from the distance.

"Jungkook! "

Now he's sure of it. Someone is really calling him.

Jungkook starts to march that way but Daehyun blocked his way. "U-Uhm.. by the way, what made you come here, your majesty?"

He furrowed his eyebrows, "I'm looking for the man I'll marr—"

"Y-You mean, me?!" Taeyong shouted, hands clutched on his chest.

"No." Jungkook said.

He looks behind his shoulders and ordered his men to come to the direction of the basement.

Daehyun starts to panick. "W-Wait stop!" the men stops.

"I think I heard someone from there, care to explain?"

Daehyun looks shocked and uncomfortable under the prince's annoyed gaze. "M-Maybe it's just... the dog! We have a dog he—"

"A dog calling out for my name?" Jungkook grows even more suspicious.

"N-No! You're just imagining things, Prince..." Baekhyun laughs awkwardly.

Jungkook slowly nods. "Hold them." his men obeyed as Vernon, Samuel, and Luhan held their wrists, gripping it hard for them not to escape.

They all started panicking, "P-Prince Jungkook! What are yo—"

"Shut up." he said as he walks away.

---

"Jung... kook.." his voice cracked, tears forming in his eyes. He's starting to give up.. he doesn't think Jungkook will hear him—

He hears series of footsteps coming, they're a lot.

A knock was heard from the other side, "Hello?"

Taehyung smiled very wide, despite the pain he's feeling, after hearing Jungkook's voice.

"I-It's Taehyung!" upon hearing this, Jungkook looks at the front, shocked.

"W-Why..." he can't seem to voice out words as he stood in front of the door, bewildered.

"They locked me up here, please help me..." Taehyung said weakly.

Anger starts to bloom from his chest as he looks at the three from the distance, whose now in the verge of tears.

He tries to open the door but it's locked. He doesn't want to spare some time just to look for the keys from them so he calls Namjoon.

"How may I help you, Prince?" Namjoon said as he steps closer.

"Open the door." Namjoon's confused at first, but obeyed.

He simply twists the doorknob but it suddenly breaks and it falls down to the floor, making him gasp. "Oh my I didn't mean to break—"

Jungkook abruptly pushes Namjoon to the side, making him slam his back to the flower vase and breaking it.

Namjoon again, apologized but Jungkook didn't respond as he hastily opens the door, revealing Taehyung whose kneeling and cheeks wet of tears, his whole appearance revealing to be wrecked and dirty, too far from the Taehyung he met before.
