The Search for Jungkook

"What time are we going to the police?" Jimin asked his friends while they are eating. The morning classes were now over. "After classes, and then we'll go to the Bibliothek." Namjoon answered Jimin's question.

"I don't think the police can help us at all." Taehyung suddenly said. They all look at him with knitted brows and puzzled expression. "What makes you think of that, Tae?" Yoongi was the first one to ask him.

"They won't believe us, they would think we're just some high school boys pulling a prank on them." Taehyung said. "I was thinking of the same thing." Hoseok agreed.

"You do think, hyung?" Jimin mocked Hoseok. "The two of you, stop. It's not the time to bicker." Seokjin said.

Namjoon lifted his index finger up. "Taehyung has a point, though. But still, there's nothing wrong on trying, they can help us search for Jungkook."

"Right." Taehyung said and smiled.

"What if Jungkook just went on his parents' house?" Hoseok asked them.

"He would've tell us first and, who in the right mind will travel wasted?" Yoongi stated. "Why don't we call his parents first? For sure, the police will ask if we did." Jimin said. Namjoon sighed and fished out his phone from his pocket. "Fine."

"What should I tell them? That their son is missing?" Taehyung grabbed Namjoon's phone and dialed Mrs. Jeon's number. After a few ring, the number answered. Taehyung put the speaker on and placed it on the table.

"Yeoboseyo? Sweetie, why did you call? Don't you have classes?" a sweet honey-like voice warmly greeted them through the phone which made them smile. Her voice was soothing and a motherly aura radiating.

"It's Taehyung and, good morning Mrs. Jeon." Taehyung greeted and smiled even though the other line can't see it. "Well, its our break time. I've called to check on you. How are you?"

"Thank you so much for your concern, sweetie. I've been doing well. How about you and the others?" she answered. "We're doing fine, Mrs. Jeon." Taehyung answered.

"That's great! How's my son, Kookie, doing? Is he fine?"

"Jungkook's been doing fine, don't worry." he remarked. He gulped, knowing it was a lie.

"Sounds fake but ok." she stated which made his jaw drop. Yoongi mumbled, "Cool." and the others snickered.

"Are you guys taking care of yourselves? Don't stress out too much ok?" Mrs. Jeon asked.

"Yes, we do. And thank you for your concern, Mrs. Jeon." his heart flattered at the mother's concern.

"Alright, I've heard that you guys won on the game. That's good! I wasn't able to call you guys. Congratulations to the three of you! Send my remarks, sweetie."

"Will do. I got to go, it is nice talking to you, Mrs. Jeon. Take care." she also bid goodbye and hang the call.

"It is confirmed. Jungkook wasn't there."

It was already the time for them to head to the police station. The streets are busy, few cars passing by and, local shops were packed because of the students as the classes were over. The six of them walking in the sidewalk, heading to their destination.

Yoongi was wearing his headphones, a music on. His favorite song was blasting. He wanted to take a rest. He wanted to avoid the reality just for a while. He was frustrated and worried at the same time, their maknae is missing.

In front of Yoongi was Seokjin and Namjoon. They're bickering again. When will they ever stop? He thought to himself. The two were too loud that he was able to hear what are they bickering for even through the loud volume of his music.

"I've got some jokes to lighten up the mood." Seokjing grinned. "Hyung, don't-" Taehyung was cutted off by none other than Seokjin himself, cracking a joke.

"Why does Peter Pan always fly?" Yoongi heard Seokjin said. He sighed and shook his head.

"Because he Neverlands!" He shouted before laughing so hard at his own joke while clutching his stomach. "M-My stomach hurts." but he then continued laughing. What's so funny about it? Yoongi asked himself.

Yoongi saw Hoseok laughing along Seokjin, Jimin smiled and Taehyung awkwardly grinned. "U-Uhm haha." he faked a laugh and then placed his hand on his nape.

"Hyung, when will you stop using your dad jokes? No one's finding it interesting." he hesitantly said at first but was changed in a tone of annoyance after.

"No one's accepting your handshakes, I can't see you stopping though." Seokjin fought back. His dad jokes were one hundred percent funny yet Namjoon was making a fuss out of it.

"You can't just accept the fact that I'm humorous and my dad jokes are the best. Bitter." then he stuck out a tongue on Namjoon to which he replied with, "Stop doing that 'thing' or else I'm going to pull out your tongue.

"Namjoon-hyung, you've been too far. Stop acting like kids, man up!" Taehyung shushed the two. Namjoon just clicked his tongue.

Yoongi sighed and walked ahead them. Now, he was walking side by side with Jimin who's kicking pebbles with his shoe on their way. He looked at him for a good second and looked away. He can see sadness glinting in his eyes.

He was feeling the same thing as Jimin.

"We're here." Namjoon announced. They push the glass door before walking inside. They were greeted by some people working there.

"What can I help?" the officer asked them as they approached her. She looks like she's in here early 20's and she looks good in her uniform. Namjoon thought to himself. "Excuse me?" the lady asked Namjoon, waving her hand in front of his face.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry. I tranced out. Well, we're here to report a friend of ours who's missing."

"Unfortunately, I've got some work to do and I was about to leave. But, my friend over there can help." the officer said, pointing at the police officer who's on the other side of he room. They thanked her and she bid goodbye. "She looks hot." Yoongi commented. "I agree." Namjoon said while licking his lips.

Seokjin smacked his arms and said, "You pervert."

Hoseok coughed intentionally which caught their attentions and said, "Can someone tell me why that man is watching Barbie?"

They all looked closer to the police officer who's eyes are glued to the television, watching Barbie.

"Barbie is great," Jimin said. They all looked at Jimin, giving him disgusted stares. Silently judging Jimin and his whole existency.

The police officer looks like he's in his late 40's. He was slumped down in an office chair. His uniform was a mess, the buttons holding onto their dear life. He's bald and big tummy sticking out.

Namjoon was the first one to approach the police officer who's still engrossed watching Barbie.

"Excuse me, officer." he called out. The police officer turned around and looked at him. "Hey! Good morning, what can I do for you?" the police officer greeted and asked.

"Good morning too," he greeted. "Me and my friends," he stopped and jerked his thumb towards his friends. "Well, we're here to report our missing friend." he continued, a bit bothered.

"Oh, wait a minute." the police officer said and he got a paper. "Can you give me some of your basic informations?" he asked Namjoon.

"My name's Kim Namjoon, twenty years old, I'm from Big Hit University, we live there." he stated. The police officer nodded and asked for the others name.

"Kim Seokjin. Obviously I'm a flower, I'm the most attractive one." he cockily said. Hoseok contradicted. "I am the flower." Seokjin just rolled his eyes.

"I'm your hope, I'm your angel, I'm Jung Hoseok!" he happily introduced himself.

"Min Yoongi." he deadpanned.

"I saw you a while ago watching Barbie, I love her too! We can be best friends! I'm Park Jimin." he said and the others were Disgust D.

"Sorry 'bout them, I'm Kim Taehyung."

The police officer jotted down the informations.

"Alright, what's the case again?" the police officer asked. "Our friend is missing." Yoongi answered.

"What's his name, age and, can you describe what he looks like?"

"His name is Jeon Jungkook, eighteen years old. He's attending the same school with us. He's a muscular guy, tall and has black locks." Seokjin answered.

"When was the last time you saw him?"

They all looked at Taehyung and Jimin. "We're the last ones who saw him, we are all together at The Bar, celebrating. We're both wasted and when we left, I didn't noticed if he's still with us." Taehyung admitted.

"That was the other day, around one in the morning." Jimin added.

"Aside from the two of you, who were the last ones who saw him that time?"

"Our baseball teammates." Jimin answered. "Twenty-four hours had passed, that means we can assume that Jungkook is missing and, we can look for him already," the police officer stated.

"We also received a message from him, here." Namjoon handed his phone to the police officer. "But we cracked the code and it says Bibliothek."

"That's amazing. It is the library around the city."

"Do you, perhaps, called his relatives?"

"Yes. Specifically, his mother." Namjoon remarked. "He's not there, his parents lives in Busan." he added.

"Ok, can I have your number?" the police officer asked Namjoon. He stood still, shocked. "W-What?" he stuttered.

Seokjin elbowed him. Hoseok snickered. "He's asking what your number is for investigating purposes, idiot." Yoongi whispered to Namjoon.

"R-Right, can I have the paper?" he then wrote his number on the paper and handed back the paper to the police officer.

"I'm Officer Lee Seokmin, this is my number," and he handed a paper to them. "You can call me anytime if you need a help. We'll go the Bibliothek first. We'll give our best to look for your friend and I'll call you as soon as possible when we saw him." they thanked Officer Lee and left. Yoongi sighed in relief, he didn't notice that his shoulders are tensed.

"Is it ok if we'll come with you guys? To the Bibliothek," Namjoon asked Officer Lee. "Sure." he smiled and they all headed to their next destination.

They went to the Bibliothek with the two police officer.
