The Bonds Between Us

Chapter 19

Warning!

Don't tell your husband or this little kid will die.

Come out alone and someone is waiting for you there to bring you to your beloved son.

I repeat, no one knows about this!'

The text made her tremble. Her shaky hands almost lost the strength. Her mind went blank suddenly. The only thing she could think of was saving her dearest son.

Her finger paused before it hit Jungkook's contact on the screen. Her heart jumped repeatedly like drum, worrying about her little son. He must be scared to death, crying out his heart for his mother and father. Or he might got beaten up...it scared her.

"Ani...if they know I tell Jungkook, they will hurt Daehan." She mumbled and was about to run out of the house but she stopped her feet and ran back into the living room. She tossed her phone to the couch and took out her laptop while Ppalgang looked at her with his curious eyes.

"Jungkook, please online, please." She prayed searching his SNS account. But her tears rolled down as she found he was not active. There, she remembered Taehyung. She typed in his name and quickly called him upon seeing his active sign.

Meanwhile, Taehyung was sipping his coke when he found a video call came in.

"Hyerin? Jungkook, come here." He called over for Jungkook who was talking with Jin.

"What is it?" He asked jumping over the couch as Taehyung picked up the line.

'Oppa, is Jungkook there?' Hyerin hurriedly asked with tears.

"I'm here. Rin, what's wrong?" Jungkook became panic as soon as he saw his crying wife.

'Jungkook, help...Daehan is missing...' Her line was like a pang hitting on his head.

"What? Since when? I'm going there. Don't go anywhere." He quickly said but she stopped him.

'Wait, don't come! Jungkook, I trust you that you can save our son. See this text first.' She said trying to calm down before showing him the text in her phone.

And came along the text was a picture of Daehan in the car crying with a cloth around his mouth. His puffy red eyes made his parents' heart ache.

"Omo, Daehan." Taehyung cried out as Jin and Jimin approached them upon sensing the problem.

"Who? Who is it?" Jimin asked as Jungkook cursed under his breath.

"Rin, listen. Don't ever go out. We'll handle this as soon as possible." Jungkook said trying to be calm. His eyes pierced into her teary ones through the video call.

'I'm afraid...'

"Trust me, Rin. You said you do." Jungkook pleaded and she nodded while wiping her tears. Because she trusted him that's why she asked for help instead of hiding and followed them clueless.

'I do.'

"If they call you, pick it up. And if they text show it to us, arraseo?"

'Ne...'

"And don't end this call. Jin hyung, track Hyerin's phone. Taehyung, you stay here. Jimin hyung, call Namjoon hyung now." Jungkook said grabbing his phone.

"Rin, did Daehan bring along Cheongcheong?" Jungkook asked connecting his phone to Jin's laptop.

'He did.'

"Great." He sighed in relief and started to work in the laptop as Jimin gave him the phone.

"Hyung, Daehan is kidn*pped and I need your help. Bring one of your girlfriend to my house, act as you're visiting Hyerin and keep her in."

'Ok.' The older agreed instantly without thinking twice.

"Thanks, hyung." He hung up and turned to look at Hyerin. He was trying to comfort her and seeking her trust.

"Namjoon hyung will be there and protect you. Daehan will be fine. We'll save him." He said and she nodded with her tears.

"Who should it be? Do you have anyone in mind?" Jin asked as Jungkook tried to track his son's location. He had set up a tracking tool in Daehan's dinosaur toy in case something came up and it was useful right there.

"There he is." Taehyung exclaimed upon seeing the signal of the little boy.

"A farm? Are you sure the stuff animal is with him?" Jin asked checking the place.

"I guess it's either in the car or in Daehan's backpack." The father pointed out. Hyerin quietly listened to them while praying for her son's safety. Ppalgang went up to her and licked her hand making the mother to cry harder.

"Let's go. Taehyung hyung, wait here and tell Rin every moves. Jin hyung and Jimin hyung, come with me." He quickly gave solutions and they acted quick.

Jin drove the van off with his dongsaeng to save the little boy.

"Who is it?" Jin asked following the direction.

"I'm not sure yet. What I know is I'm not gonna let it go." Jungkook said gripping his phone tight.

"Poor Daehan, he's too young to be in this situation." Jimin mumbled, tearing up.

***********

Meanwhile, Namjoon was parking his car in front of the chief's house. As a gentleman, he kindly opened the door for a beautiful girl with his dimple smile. They got in the house as Hyerin opened the door.

From the window, Namjoon looked at a van which was supposed to be waiting for Hyerin.

"Did they call again?" He asked turning to look at her. She shook her head.

"Just trust Jungkook, he will save Daehan no matter what."

"Ne...And who is she?" Hyerin asked referring to the girl.

"She's my assistant. We can trust her." He mumbled and Hyerin nodded sighing.

"Thanks, Oppa."

*********

With tears, poor Daehan fell asleep in a dark room on a pile of clothes, hugging Cheongcheong tight in his arms.

Then slowly the door cracked opened and a figure of a guy slipped in before closing it back.

Quietly, he approached the boy and bent down to pick the boy up gently. Daehan groaned in his sleep. The guy walked out as another guy opened the door for them.

To the back of the place, they exited the back door and without anyone knowing, they got into a black car.

Daehan was given to a man at the backseat and they drove off.

*********

"Look, Daehan is moving out of the place." Jimin stated pointing to the red spot.

"Damn it!" Jungkook cursed feeling frustrated. His son was in danger and he still couldn't get the hold of the situation.

"Calm down. Let's follow his first." Jin said and Jimin nodded patting the younger's shoulder.

They changed the direction and Jungkook's phone rang.

"Gloss?" Jungkook mumbled up on seeing the number.

"Why is he calling?" Jin asked as Jungkook picked up the line.

"Ne, hyung?" The chief responded and listened to the other line. And immediately, his expression changed into a delightful one.

"Jinjja, hyung? I'll be there. Thanks, hyung." Jungkook hung up and let out a big sigh of relief.

"You've worked hard, hyung. He's safe now." Jungkook said making Jin and Jimin to sigh out too.

"Who recused him?"

"Of course it's Gloss."

**********

Came running, Hyerin got in the car as Jungkook picked her up. She was told that her son was rescued and she bursted out crying with joy. After knowing that Daehan was safe, a group of agents came to retain the g**g who waiting for Hyerin and kept for questioning later.

"He's safe now, Rin." He whispered reaching his hand to hold her shaky one. She could only nod trying not to cry.

"Do you remember Uncle Mint?" Out of nowhere, Jungkook asked.

"Yes..."

"He's the one who rescued Daehan. And we're going to meet him."

"H...How?"

"We'll see." And Jungkook drove them to where his son at.

The chief leaded his wife into a house of Uncle Mint. Hyerin's heart ached seeing her son's small body on the bed. Daehan slept soundly in a big room, comfortable and safe. The mother's tears rolled down as she sat beside him. She slowly scanned his whole body to check if there's any injury.

"Thanks, hyung." Jungkook softly said to the man beside him. Min Yoongi, a.k.a Uncle Mint shrugged crossing his arms.

"Let's talk." Lowly, he mumbled walking ahead. Jungkook glanced at his wife and son before following his friend.

Past few days, they faced each other with cold gaze and annoying looks like they were enemies but then Min Yoongi saved his son and Jungkook claimed that he was his friend. And turned out that Min Yoongi was Gloss, secret agent among their group. There're more secrets they hid between themselves to work as a team. In order to achieve their goals they had to hide their real identity, friendship, family and so on.

Meanwhile, Hyerin leaned down to peck Daehan's forehead for a long kiss. She missed him so much although it was just a few hours. That's how a mother feel when her children missing and he was in danger.

"Omma?" His soft voice was heard and she leaned back.

"Ne...This is Omma. How are you feeling? Was it fun playing in the playground?" She asked with her teary eyes.

"Omma, I want to go home." He said lowly tearing up.

"Are you hungry? Omma have prepared your favorite snack for you at home." She weakly. smiled pulling the boy into her embrace, crying out. He's old enough to know what was going on and what happened to him. His eyes still showed fear and shocks that made her breathless because of tears.

"I miss Omma, Appa and Ppalgang."

"We miss you too..." Hyerin said between her sobs looking up to Jungkook who just came in the room.

"Appa..." Daehan called out and the father approached them for a hug.

"Let's go home then if you miss Ppalgang." He said picking Daehan up and he wrapped his small arms around his father's neck.

"Say goodbye to uncle Mint, Han-ah."

"Goodbye, Uncle."

"Thank you so much, Oppa... If it wasn't you..."

"It's nothing. Just be careful next time."

"We'll try our best." There're more she wanted to talk with him but it was not the right time to ask.

**********

The small family arrived home and Hyerin helped her son to wash up before tucking him to bed. The little boy asked to sleep with his parent that night and Hyerin fulfilled his wish.

Jungkook was in the living room observing the recording of the scenes in the playground and neighborhood to find out who kidn*pped his son.

The problem solved without both families knew. They just couldn't imagine how they react if his parents and Hyerin's parents know about it. Perhaps, his mother won't let them take care of the boy after all.

Slowly, Hyerin sat down beside him before letting out a big sigh. Jungkook turned to look at her as she closed her eyes tiredly. He set the laptop aside and stared at her quietly.

Without words, he felt every concerns she was having. His work got his family involved suddenly. They're not safe anymore and he had to double his best to ensure that no one will touch them.

"I'm grateful that you didn't hide it and tried to follow them alone to save our son." He mumbled wrapping his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close into his embrace.

"And thanks for being safe."

**********

The next day, Jungkook asked Daehan some questions as he noticed the boy was fully stable. And they were glad that the boy didn't get hurt anywhere.

"Have fun, Han-ah. I'll pick you up at 4." Jungkook said ruffling the boy's hair and Hyerin nodded. She was taking Daehan to an amusement park while Jungkook had something to do with his friends.

"There're two agents following you around for your safety. Don't worry, just act normal." He reminded them before driving off. Hyerin glanced around and found two similar guys. They nodded at her and she sighed, guess their live was not in peace anymore.

Jungkook stopped his car in front of their hideout and Jin opened the door for them.

"So Choi Kyuwon was the one who kidn*pped Daehan?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook nodded.

"We've grabbed his drugs and he wanted revenge." The chief stated.

"What do you plan to do then?" Jimin asked.

"I'll make sure serving him a nice meal in the box. I'm not going to let him go after going this far."

"Aish, you evil maknae."

"I miss those plans I prepared when we were training. Guess, I have to pick it up from the storage." Jungkook said with a smirk.

"Then use them all this time. Gloss must be glad to work with them. He's one of the devils in the list."
