Becoming Adults [bts] *sequel to BP*

.16

Jin's POV:

It's nearly 7am and Jungkook and Minjee haven't came home yet. I've tried to call them, but no answer. I paced back and forth in the living room, sipping on the coffee I made not too long ago to keep myself awake.

What aren't they telling me? Why won't they tell me? If it's something dangerous, shouldn't I know about it?

Before I could think too far into it, the front door opens, Jungkook, Taehyung, and Minjee walk in.

"Well?" I asked, looking behind them to see if Jimin was with them. "Where is he?" I asked.

Jungkook bit his lip, avoiding eye contact with me. "We didn't find him."

I set my coffee down and put my hands on my hips, looking at all three of them. "Someone is going to something. Your brother, my son, is missing, and you three seem to know where he is or where he might be. I'm not going to be in the dark any longer than I already am, so start talking." I said.

All three of them look at each other, as if to see who would say something first.

"Well, any volunteers?" I asked.

All three were still silent, avoiding eye contact with me.

"Alright, since no one wants to say anything, I'm calling the police-"

"NO!" they all shout, causing me to jump a little, nearly dropping my phone.

"Mom, please just...you can't." Minjee's said.

"Why?"

"We...I...we..." Minjee started, but then completely gave up and let out a sigh.

I put my phone away and look at them. "You're really not going to tell me?"

They were silent once again.

I sighed and sat in my chair, feeling both exhausted and irritated with all of this. "Fine, don't tell me." I said before looked at all of them. "Whatever this is, it better not get your brother hurt, or worse, killed." I added, then pulled my phone out.

"Mom, wait-"

I held my hand up to stop them from talking. "Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to trust that you three know what's going on and know how to get your brother back." I said, looking at all three of them. "Since Jimin is an adult, the police aren't going to do anything until it's been 24 hours since Jimin has gone missing." I paused to look at the time on my phone. "He went missing around 8pm, right? So you have thirteen hours to find him, or else I'm calling the police to report him missing, whether you like or not." I put my phone back in my pocket and stand up. "I'm going to get ready to go see your dad in the hospital, I'll be back later on tonight." I finished, turning around and going upstairs without saying another word.

Jungkook's POV:

After mom finished what he said and left, I started to panic. We have thirteen minutes to find Jimin or else the police will get involved. I know that would be the right thing to do, but if the police get involved, we'll have no choice but to tell them Jimin's secret in order to find him and then mom, dad, Yoongi, and Hoseok will know.

I looked at both Taehyung and Minjee. "Let's get back in the car."

"What? Why?" Taehyung asked.

"We have to find Jimin."

"But we were just out there, can't we take like an hour to get some food and maybe take a nap?"

I grabbed him by the ear roughly and started walking out the front door with him, Minjee following behind.

I let go of Taehyung's ear and opened the passenger seat door. "Get in."

He huffed and crossed his arms. "Since when have you became the big brother? You're not the boss of me, I'm two years older and I don't like-"

I grabbed him by the jacket and pushed him in the car. "We're running out of time. The more you talk, the less time we have to find Jimin." I said before shutting the car door and walking around to get in on the driver's side.

"So what's the plan?" Minjee asked from the back seat.

I glanced over at both of them before putting the car keys in the ignition. "We need to find some clues, something that will help us find either Jimin or that creepy boss of his."

"How are we gonna do that?" Taehyung asked.

"Easy, we're gonna go in his bedroom and look around."

Taehyung's eyes grew wide. "What?! Are you crazy?! We can't do that."

"Why?"

"For privacy reasons."

"I'm sure it'll be fine, it's not like he'll know about it. Plus, if we do find something to help us find him and we do find him, I think he'll be thankful that we went in his bedroom."

"But still, it feels...wrong."

"You're telling me that out of the seven years that you two have been living together, you've never went into his bedroom?"

He shook his head.

"Not even secretly?"

He shook his head again.

"I don't believe you."

"It's true, we always promised each other that we would never go into each other's rooms."

"Not even for a situation like this?"

"I...I don't know."

"Taehyung, we have to find Jimin. If mom calls the police, then we'll have to tell them Jimin's secret." I said before leaning back in the driver's seat. "To be honest, I could care less about if everyone knows, but since you two care so much, I'm doing everything I can to avoid that, so we're going in his bedroom to find clues. If Jimin ends up getting mad about it, then so be it. As long as we find him, he can be mad about it until the day he dies." I said before starting the car and driving to Jimin and Taehyung's apartment.

Another short one, but I've already started on the next chapter, so watch out for that :)
