Ignore mistakes please
Third person P.O.V
Jimin couldn't fall asleep early but eventually, he dozed off near 3 am. His thoughts were wandering here and there.. especially the word her. He keep on glancing over at the sleeping boy.. the now peaceful face that was contorted in severe pain just because of some memories. If he was that much terrified by the memory then what he actually felt at that moment?
All these thoughts kept him from sleeping but when he opened his eyes, the morning was blooming outside. He turned to face the now empty bed. He frowned and quickly got up from the bed and knocked on the bathroom but found that empty.
"Damn... Tae." He pulled his hair and quickly rushed down to search for the boy.
"Sir.. breakfast is ready." A maid said to him but he quickly shook his head.
"Tae.. where is he?"
"Oh, Mr. Kim.. he left an hour ago. We all tried to stop him and told him to have breakfast... but he said that he had some work." The maid replied and Jimin sighed knowing the reason for that work.
"Thanks. Where is dad?" He asked when he couldn't find Mr. Park as well.
"He also left early morning." Jimin nodded his head and went back to his room and grabbed his phone, ready to dial Taehyung's number.. but he stopped.
"Maybe he is feeling insecure or uncomfortable yet. He still needs some time." Jimin muttered and finally put back the phone.
But some notifications caught his attention. He grabbed it again and bit his tongue because there were 70+ missed calls from Jin.
"Damn.. when it went to silent mode? Oh God.. help me today." He prayed intently, too afraid to face a seething Jin.

"I am sorry Hyung... I just um.. i.."
"I what?" Jin cocked his eyebrow and Taehyung bit his lip.
When Taehyung went back to his house, he found Jin in his car.. waiting outside of the mansion, definitely pissed.
"I wasn't feeling good.. so.. I called Chim and slept there." Taehyung said, playing with his fingers.
Jin sighed and slightly patted his hair.
"You need someone to share this burden bub. I am here.. Chim is here. Please don't hurt yourself anymore." Taehyung felt his eyes stinging on his words. He was already feeling like an idiot for spilling nonsense in front of Jimin last night and was sure that he will be bombarded by hundreds of questions by him during their next meeting.
He can't tell about Rose or about the kidnapping thing.. so he decided to tell another surprise.
"I- I found him hyung." Jin's eyes went more than just wider.
"What?"
"Hm.. I found Kookie. He is CEO of JC enterprises... the one D- dad is having a big project this year." Taehyung explained, leaning his head back on the couch. Jin was still sitting there with wide eyes.
"He is Mr. Ji? But we never knew his real name so far. What is his name?" Jin asked and Taehyung bit his lip and again shook his head slowly.
"Don't tell me you don't know either." Taehyung sighed.
"Did he remember you? I mean.. does he knows you are Tata?" Jin again asked and Taehyung let out a bitter chuckle, confusing already confused Jin.
"I don't know hyung. He remembered everything... each and everything so clearly... b- but he didn't let me see his face." The similar feeling of being humiliated by his childhood friend came again.
"I don't think that he wants to be a friend anymore... why he would? It's been years hyung.. he is so grown up and well-established. He doesn't need me anymore." A sad smile was on his face and Jin felt so bad for the poor boy.
"I don't think so bub.. maybe he was just surprised as well. Give him some time.. and even then he acts like a thickhead.. we will go to JC and kick his bunny teeth. Hm?" Jin said and Taehyung smiled lightly.
"I couldn't even see his bunny teeth." Jin cursed himself for bringing that.
"Well.. forget it for a moment. You remember my friend that we met in the restaurant?" Jin asked and Taehyung nodded his head.
"He wants to meet you again... um.. h- he wants to talk about something." Jin said, scratching his neck.
"But hyung-"
"He is a good friend of mine Tae. Please." Taehyung just nodded half-heartily.
"I need to go to the company... see you later," Jin gasped looking at his watch and leaving him in his room. He also got up and refreshed to leave for the company as well.
During the drive, he was just recalling the way raven-haired slapped away his hand. His eyes were really so familiar.... those matched not only with his Kookie but with someone else... but he just can't recall that.
He stopped the car in front of the company and entered the elevator... still in a daze. His mind was so much filled with thoughts, clouding his other senses.
His secretary greeted him and he just nodded in response... a rather cold expression and Hanna quickly got that.
She entered behind him when he was putting his coat on the side.
"You ok?" She asked, placing a few files on his table.
He hummed in response and plopped on the swirl chair. Suddenly something popped up in his mind and he quickly stopped almost leaving Hanna.
"Yes?" She asked curiously because of Taehyung's expression.
"Please don't say a word about this to anyone." Taehyung requested and she nodded with the same curiosity lingering in her eyes.
"D- did you all see some video of me? I mean... when I was..." He found it utterly difficult to say out and thanks to Hanna who quickly understood.
"Yeah. We received that video on the main email address of Kim's Enterprise. All branches got that video and it created a big scene." She explained and Taehyung gave her an expression to continue.
"Mr. Kim took great efforts to control the mess as the video was leaked to the media by someone. They all accused Mr. Kim of hiding the truth of your disappearance... well it was true. He said that you were on vacation." She muttered a bastard under her breath.
Taehyung again felt the same pain.. how strange. He should be immune to this feeling as it's already been years but he can't... he can't get over this pain of being ignored by his father.. so brutally.
"Then one day you suddenly came back... but somehow he again control the situation before getting chaotic." Taehyung remained silent. She hesitated a lot but finally asked the question she wanted to ask.
"Um.. Taehyung.. who kidnapped you? And why you didn't take any step yet?" Taehyung felt his body get tense at the question. Why? Because he felt that he deserved that all.. because he felt guilty to be born into that family.. because he wanted to lessen the pain of others that he can't reduce in his own case.
"I deserved that, Noona." He mumbled and got off the chair. She wanted to protest his words but stopped when someone called her.
She left the office and received the call.
Taehyung shook his head to disappear the clouds of thoughts and grabbed the files to work.
"Oh.. Taehyung we received this in your name." She said and placed a big box on the table. He just nodded again and kept himself busy with the file.
Hanna took that as a cue to leave him alone.
When he was doing his work, the door was opened by someone, he thought that it must be Hanna but when he heard Hanna, like arguing with someone.. he whipped his head up and gasped. His pen fell from his hand... eyes got so much wide in surprise.
"Tell him Taehyung shii.. we have some important things to discuss." Rose said, removing her black sunglasses. Taehyung just sat there, his eyes were focused on her.
"See... he didn't say to go. I will take a black coffee.. no sugar." She said to Hanna, who glanced over at Taehyung awkwardly but left with a nod.
Rose stepped closer to the opposite side of Taehyung and slowly moved his hand over the leather of the chair.
"Why did you cut the call without any word." She stopped her fingers over the leather and placed her expensive bag on the table. "I don't like when people ignore me." She added while taking the seat so elegantly.
Taehyung tried his best to act normal but the way she was looking at him... he couldn't feel comfortable.
"You know what, I was really worried about you."
"Why?" Finally, he asked.
She smiled so sweetly on receiving a response.
"Can't I? It's normal to be worried about someone you care about." Her bangs moved so smoothly when she shook her head gently with a smile.
Care? The word caught his attention and he frowned.
"Why do you care for me? I am the son of your mother's killer.. as you say." He felt like he snapped over her but her expression didn't change a bit.
"You are, but you aren't the one to suffer for this. After all.. it wasn't you." She shrugged her shoulders while saying the last words and Taehyung felt his blood boil on that.
"Suffer? It wasn't me?" He chuckled dryly but his jaw clenched in the next second.
"That's why you did that all? Kidnapping on the big day... making me notorious for something I never did... keeping me in that small room to stir up my sanity... even leaving me to satisfy someone's needs." He spat on her... gripping the table harshly so that his knuckles turned white.
"I told him not to be harsh with you. But I can't control him... he is just out of control." She said like it was nothing and Taehyung was just bragging.
"Please leave." Taehyung pointed towards the door of the office but she remained unbothered.
Hanna came with a tray of coffee and placed that in front of Rose. She could feel the tension in the room.
"Mr. Kim wants to see you." She said and left. Taehyung sighed and got up from the chair... grabbing his coat and wearing that.
"I need to go.. enjoy your coffee and then you can leave." He said nonchalantly and was about to grab the knob of the door when she got up with a smirk.
"I don't like coffee Tae... I like sweet things." She said and walked right behind him.. softly touching his neck with her fingers. Taehyung felt so uncomfortable under her touch.
"But I want to tell you the reason for my appearance." She whispered in his ear... causing him to tighten his grip on the knob.
"I already had my word with Mr. Kim... get ready for our delayed big day..." She whispered again and then stepped right in front of him, her dainty fingers slightly brushing over his neck again.
"Get ready for our wedding Tae.."
