you become stronger,
When you actually
felt weak."

"The food is so delicious. Wow!" Hyurae moaned a little while eating the heavenly delights that Yuni and Eunwoo made.
 
"But it's still not like the food that Yuri made yesterday, which I found covered over the kitchen counter." Eunwoo pouted while having a bite of her rice cake when she reminded.
 
They were having breakfast in the morning right now, when Yuni stared her as she remembered the food that she made for her yesterday when Eunwoo was being angry. Since Eunwoo was being angry at her so that made her think that Yuri might have made it for her. She suddenly reminded the words that Jungkook conveyed to her before leaving.
 
"Don't be afraid."
 
Yuni just sighed as she was still hesitant and scared to talk, when she decided to be silent.
 
4:45 p.m. evening. Today was the day when Eunwoo would be leaving, but apparently at the moment she was waiting for taehyung so that an apology could be pulled up by her whereas Hyurae was being busy in packing up all of her things along his own when the two suitcases were placed over the bed in Eunwoo's room.
 
"Eunwoo. You okay, dear?" Her husband asked her curiously when he worriedly stared his wife who hasn't even touched her stuff as later that he sat beside her. "Princess?" She side hugged her husband when she started sobbing the next moment and Hyurae was unknown towards the matter yet also towards the thing about what was actually bothering her when he asked curiously while caressing her delicate round face. "What's wrong?"
 
"Taehyung is not talking to me. He's mad at me." Eunwoo sobbed even more while being between his palms.
 
"What did you do?" He asked in his voice so gentle and soothing.
 
"I just said that he might have fucked up Yuni as he was being so close to her lately. I was angry. I don't know how that slipped out and now, he's mad at me." Eunwoo cried in his hands when the next minute her husband immediately pulled her into an embrace. "I love him, Hyurae. I can't bear distance with him."
 
"Give him some time, princess. He will listen to you. He'll come to you for sure. He doesn't have anyone else than you both. Don't worry." Hyurae held his wife who was now became a crying mess all of a sudden when she kept on crying in his arms.
 
Where the other person in the house happily made food for her new, yet almost an elder sister as right after Yuni got to know that Eunwoo loved the food that she made? She decided to help her in cooking when at the same time she was willing to make her happy too, as now Yuni was staring upstairs while holding a tray in her hands as she thought that they might be busy in packing when Hyurae told her that they were leaving today. A knock that she does as a permission to enter when with a big pretty smile that she was standing at the door of Eunwoo's room. Even after minutes and few slight knocks that the door didn't open when with a heavy sigh that she entered herself, after waiting long enough.
 
"I thought you guys would be busy in packing so, I made you food." A tingle of hesitance was there in her attitude when she talked, but a smile helped her in building her self confidence. Right after entering inside, Yuni went bewildered when she saw Eunwoo crying with her face stained with tears, as the next minute she got worried all of a sudden. She does noticed the suitcases being opened and filled with some clothes in them when her hands placed the tray of meal over the dressing table and later that she took frequent steps towards Eunwoo and knelt down between her legs as later that she immediately cupped her face with pure delicacy when she asked right away, Yuni was so well aware with the aspects of caring when she put Eunwoo's every harsh word aside and decided to talk her out. "Unnie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
 
After seeing her behavior touched with pure love, Eunwoo cried even more when she lowered her head with heavy embarrassment and the ground of utter guilt swallowed her all at once.
 
"I'm so sorry." While with hiccups holding her words that Eunwoo's eyes met her curious ones when she kept on crying even more. "Im really sorry for everything harsh that I did to you."
 
Suddenly Yuni remembered how Jungkook apologized for his harsh behavior when he tortured her as the same moment that she faced right now when Yuni melted at the moment.
 
"No, Unnie! Please don't say that." She hugged her right away when with sweetness smothering her words that Yuni shook her head, when Hyurae was also standing near his wife. "I didn't mind that all. Please, don't say that. It happens between sisters." Yuni rubbed her back when she comforted her some more along with a smile pasted over her face when she continued to comfort her. "I understand what you did. I would do the same. If I had siblings and my brother would bring up an anonymous young girl? I would be angry too. It's just natural. Please don't cry."
 
"Yuni, he's mad at me. Taehyung isn't talking to me." Eunwoo's cries weren't stopping at all when her head was low along with her heart filled with immense guilt and embarrassment that was eating her alive. "I said that he might have had a night with you, that's why. I'm sorry Yuni. I'm terribly sorry for that! Please forgive me." 
 
Yuni didn't react odd when she knew already that this would be the first thing that anyone's mind will pull up when she was being so calm at every word that Eunwoo conveyed or more like shared about how she was feeling. Yuni didn't cross the beast and still was being alive like that when she actually faced him, prospered his every deed with patience and survived the fire in his blood. Whereas, later that she healed him with her love which was the actual thing that tend and converted that beast into a human, as she was actually born with a heart of gold that no one has ever born with, when her heart was still in suffering, drastically.
 
"I'm really sorry too, for making all of this heavy mess. Don't worry, I will try talking to him." Yuni held her face when she assured her disturbing state while passing a humble smile. "Now, eat the food that I made for you, Unnie."
 
A sad smile creased over her face when Eunwoo nodded as later that Yuni stood up and held the tray from the dressing table while Hyurae told Eunwoo to set up over the bed as so gently and carefully that Yuni placed the tray and Eunwoo later started eating.
 
"This is that taste!" Eunwoo cheered immediately as now she got to know that the food that she had yesterday? Was made by her when she mentioned further ahead along with wide eyes. "Did you make the food for me yesterday? The one that was covered over the kitchen counter?"
 
"Yes. You were not feeling well due to your periods. I thought, you would be tired and it would be a burden for you to make the food so I helped it out." A humble smile was always being there while talking with her when Yuni conveyed in her sweet vocals while being seated on a distance upon the bed in front of her.
 
"Thank you." That was all that Eunwoo could bear to say.
 
"Feeling fine, princess?" Hyurae placed his hands upon the shoulders of his wife when he asked with concern showing in his wide eyes.
 
"Yes." Eunwoo giggled as a warm feeling surrounded her heart when she thanked the person in front of her. "Thank you, Yuni."
 
The girl who sat on the bed in front of the couple, smiled. The smile that held thousands of memories filling inside it when Yuni remembered to how Jungkook got to say her these names while being with her, but it was too late for her to admit that when she doesn't even knew if he was even alive or not. If he was even fine. If he was even breathing.
 
If he's alive, what are they doing with him? How is he been treated? Is he eating well? Is the place fine for his living? What food that they are providing him? For how many hours that he has been sleeping? How is his health? More, if he's alive, are there any reinforcements to save him already?
 
These thoughts burned Yuni's mind when she was being dead worried for him and that horrifying look over her face was soon caught by the couple.
 
"Yuni, are you okay?" Hyurae curiously asked her right away when he shook her a little and shockingly that Yuni lifted her eyes when she breathed a bit heavily and nodded afterwards with an assuring smile towards them both.
 
"Let me know if you need anything." Yuni mentioned before making a stand and proceeded towards the door of the room when a grin set her face. "You know where I'll be." 
 
"Yes, I'll let you know." Eunwoo replied very humbly.
 
Yuni left the room when later that she stared down along with her thoughtful mind filled with overthinking concepts when now that she entered her room and silently sat upon her bed. Her cylindrical beautiful fair fingers wrapped Jungkook's phone when she glanced it with grimace settling up her face.
 
What if he's already out? What if he's trying to cheat me? What if he's still alive and pranking this all over me? What if he was out the next day they took him there? What if he's already escaped and went to a safest place and already started everything without me? What if this all is just a situation? What if he's fucking out a girl right now and having fun with her? He can do that as he does that earlier, when he was being angry at me. He can do that as he's mighty powerful. He must be having fun with girls surrounding him by now. He doesn't cared about me. What if he started all over again?
 
All of these things beamed Yuni's head like arrows in the air reaching her nonstop when she threw his phone away from her on the mattress and grabbed a pillow instead of it when later that she cried over it for the rest of the time as soon that the soft material got wet. Her emotions were hitting her like fire when her mind was overthinking terribly towards wrong perceptions, as she herself wasn't aware of it when her mind was flowing like an updraft with many wrong thoughts that were tangling up everything from the inside, when she waited for Taehyung or either Yuri to talk about the storm inside her head that was disturbing her madly as she trusted those two more. Until then, the phone was being away when she thought that that will make her think that he's away. But soon than she also thought about his behavior towards her. Everytime, how he felt so lively while being with her. Everytime, how he smiled so warmly while being with her, as it tickled her mind after thinking about how he faced the distance and missed her so much, about how she adored him so much and he melted in her touch like that, when these thoughts fought with her mind and a battle of heart and mind of her own, begun, when the heart was gaining power over her mind while making it the winner.
 
Whereas on the other side of the world, somehow the same was happening like that, but in a different manner.
 
 
••~~💞~~••
 
 
"Mmm. In months that my taste buds are delighted." Jungkook slightly moaned in his gray usual attire after he took a big wonderful bite of the puff cake, but shook his head in disbelief when he went for another bite. "Why don't they serve these in the cells?"
 
"Well, that will spoil us and make us forget the real purpose of being caged here. Obviously." Gary talked in his grumpy vocals when later that he continued to eat his beef steak.
 
"Yeah. Right." Jungkook affirmed with a grin.
 
Every once in a year, the criminals were brought up at a place which was almost a total replica of a restaurant as while being at this place they gets a chance to roam around and mingle up with the other burglars, likewise, they were also allowed to be treated well. But just once in a year, so that the criminals doesn't get spoiled and loses their minds while forgetting the real purpose which makes them consider this place as hell more than the heaven.
 
Jungkook's time turned easier than the starting days when he arrived here as now that he was used to the air of the metal walls and the people here, when later furthermore he got to know that it's the same sun shining outside everyday. Also, Gary and Jungkook were more like friends with each other as he never experienced that earlier, but now he was having it all gracefully, but every time his mind never forgets to divert towards his girl when it was tingling his heart all the time and likewise, his sparkly earing gained several gazes over it too when it was still hanging in the fair skin of his ear. While being at this place was a new thing to him when he actually ate properly today while getting his stomach full after months as he doesn't decided to pause for a single minute while eating. But still, his taste buds were missing the real heaven that was waiting for him at the other corner of the world, when later that he stopped eating for a minute, right after he started missing his girl.
 
The time was over and now they had to leave for their respective cells when each one of the gray gloaks were heading towards their cages and were ready to get surrounded again.
 
Jungkook was spending his time with only one person while being here as he had trust issues when he could not believe and befriend almost every walking man. He was serious as hell with the babyface and only few got to know that thing when they got beaten by him. Botherance was never the thing that Jungkook dealt with patience inside him and that made some of them scare him whereas, just for the same reason that made some of the men fight him as well when every time, whenever the showdown goes on, either he becomes the winner or gets stopped by other men over there, just to calm him down.
 
With a heavy disturbing sigh that he took steps towards his usual spot after entering the cell when Jungkook sat down and made himself supported by the metal wall behind him. Every time he traces his thumb upon his lower lip, it eventually makes him miss her even more like hell as fuck when his mind started running the thoughts about her.
 
Is she alright? Is she eating well? How would be my princess? Taehyung's siblings are not hurting her for disturbing their privacy like that. Is she okay? She's so innocent. Hope no one's making their moves on her.
 
He dug his face into his palms when Jungkook mumbled in his skin. "She needs me right now. She'll probably be hating me for this all and I can't even do a fucking thing." He annoyingly gritted his teeth afterwards but later that he lifted his head up towards the roof and few tears left his eyes. "Sweetheart, stay there. I will come to you." 
 
Time flew in its order and his heart still wasn't being at ease when he worries for his girl, Yuni, as suddenly that his mind started thrifting towards some misconceptions when he got worried even more.
 
What if she left me behind? What if she still hates me? What if she found someone more attractive than me? What if she decided to leave me? What if she isn't waiting for me and found someone else already and started dating by now? She can not do that.
 
I love her and...
 
I know.
 
She too loves me.
 
If not that? Than why she would still wait for me desperately? Why my heart is keep pushing me that she's still worried for me? Waiting for me? Wanting to know about me?
 
She's waiting for me.
She loves me.
She's suffering for me.
 
I can not let her down. I can not leave her in this world all alone.
 
If she's fighting for me? I'll fight for her.
If's she's suffering for me? I will do the same for her. Instead of pushing his mind into the darkness, Jungkook's positive energy fought with the negative intuition inside himself when his eyes pierced the iron door in front of him.
 
"I will make you believe that I came back for you, Yuni. Just for you." The fire inside himself later calmed down as a smile formed over Jungkook's lips when he scratched his ear. "The first thing that I will be doing? Would be proposing you, princess. For real." His milky finger tingled his love's earing when he giggled furthermore like a silly lover boy as his own words flustered him a little along with a shade of red tinting both of his ears. After few minutes he laid down over the floor when his sight got stuck at the roof above him and a sigh left his mouth while he was having thoughts about her. "Be safe, Yuni. I love you." He said, though he doesn't had any idea about anything from her side but still, his heart was being worried when he said those three words afterwards, as he thought that God would might deliver them to his girl.
 
What a beast along with a silver heart that she has captured and she doesn't knew that.

"God! Oh great! Yes!" The man who was holding some more records related to the criminal who was behind the bars, acknowledged with such enthusiasm shining in his eyes when Taehyung glanced over some more files and documents that he found from a folder in computer. "Perfect. Some more were hidden." Taehyung gulped so heavily when his eyes shifted from the screen towards the door as he was being hell afraid of getting caught by someone when he was sitting in a room which held secret records of past few dangerous criminals when he was willing to cease all the data related to Jungkook and move to a USB that was connected with the computer when Taehyung gritted his teeth along with a grunt while watching the data getting transferred to the little device, as it was taking longer than ever. "Come on. Come on. Hurry!!"
 
It was almost dark and late at night when Taehyung was lucky that he got himself a duplicate of every key to every room in the police station as another fortune happened with him when Namjoon was also working with him in detail, in almost everything. When, while Taehyung was dealing with his secret thefting up session, Namjoon pulled up an immediate unknown meeting for all the commissioners along with officers when the man was being busy while standing among the others in a vast stretched room and also allowing Taehyung to do his work without even disturbing him while delivering his points to the other people who were present in the hall and at the same time Joon was also connected with the other guy doing his work in the secret lair, through the earpiece inside his ear which was small enough to get caught by the eyes of the others and was covered under his hair, that soon alarmed him with sudden words filling in it.
 
"I'm done, Officer Joon. All files are moved and system has been restored."
 
After listening to a familiar heavy voice, Joon ended up the meeting following a nod when he announced later on with his voice filling the area and also alerting the other person who talked in his earpiece. "We shall now move towards our working places."
 
After getting the signal in the form of words conveyed by Namjoon, Taehyung left the place in no time when he was already done with everything while being dressed up as black heavy coated man and surely no one seemed to notice him when his face was covered with a black mask along with a pair of black tinted glasses as his head was low when a black snap covered his blonde wavy hair and his tall figure was hidden under a long black coat along with his hands also covered by black gloves, when with fear rushing inside his every vein that he was succeeded in collecting the remaining data from the computer which held most of the previous record of Jungkook as the case was never touched by anyone, hence it still remained that way.
 
But now, it was all gone.
 
Removed.
 
Deleted.
 
Forever.
 
Fortunately, no one noticed taehyung in that outfit when he roamed casually above the surface of the police station as there wasn't any kind of thing to take him as a suspicious person when they got to witness many people like him who were unbothered and after seeing the familiar tall man who was covered with everything in black, exiting the building of the police station, Namjoon was relieved.

6:37 p.m. 
 
"Come on, Eunwoo!" Hyurae's voice echoed the empty living room when he loudly called out for his wife while he was standing near the suitcases and other stuff, waiting for them to leave.
 
"Taehyung isn't here yet." While slowly covering down the staircase, Eunwoo declared when her long awaited eyes met her husband's hollow ones.
 
"Why don't you call him?" Hyurae suggested in a soft voice.
 
"I have been calling him from past two hours straight. But he's not picking up." Eunwoo's sad vocals came back when she was being worried for her brother as after listening to her, Hyurae admitted further ahead.
 
"He might be busy."
 
The whole night went out like that while waiting for him when the hours were also out that even Yuri came home before Taehyung and all of them were being worried as hell for taehyung only, when just like last night, this night was also being the same when they witnessed Taehyung once again being exhausted and bursting inside the house madly, as if there were dogs chasing behind him.
 
"Sorry. I lost the track of time." Taehyung declared right away after he breathed heavily.
 
"Taehyung are you mad or wha--" Yuri was approaching him with anger inside himself when Hyurae soon captured him by his arm.
 
Taehyung was almost destroying himself and his elder brother could not see his own baby being diminished like that when the fact was simple, Yuri was being angry towards the thing that Taehyung wasn't even looking over his own self, though Yuri knew the main purpose of his younger's rushing hard work but he was too so worried for his health. 
 
After catching his breaths, Taehyung fell upon the couch in the living room when he exhaled and later that his sight captured his elder sister's and her husband's worried states when he curiously asked both of them. "You guys didn't leave?" 
 
"I was waiting for you, taehyung." Eunwoo replied to him in her depressing tone.
 
"Why? What else do you want to tell the world? That I didn't stop there even after a wild night?" With an annoying tone yet with a heaving chest that taehyung towered Eunwoo's figure when she shook under his glare. "That I filled myself with her fluids? That I fell for her? Or you just love to see me suffer some more!!" Taehyung raised his voice over his elder sister when he finally yelled at her and her breath hitched after seeing his vicious state. "What do you even want, noona?!" 
 
"I-I-I'm so sorry." Eunwoo sobbed while shaking terribly by his rage when her broken vocals filled his ears and he felt so bad for his elder sister suffering like that, when Taehyung was also suffering from the same depression of being away from his sister, from all of this time. "I'm so sorry. It all slipped out from my mouth. I didn't mean it. I swear. I even apologized to Yuni too." 
 
Tears formed inside both pairs of eyes of brother and sister when Taehyung embraced his elder sister and later also started crying when she too hugged him back while being a crying mess once again.
 
"I'm sorry, noona. I'm really really sorry." While snuggling in her neck that taehyung tightened the embrace while shedding the waterfall of tears which drained her shirt when she too mumbled an apology.
 
"I'm sorry too, my stuff bear." Eunwoo smiled after they broke the hug and with tears settling upon their smiling faces, they both shared a warm giggle.
 
At least the long awaited love between the brother and sister arrived back after the matter resolved between them.
