CHAPTER XX

                                    

                                          
"CHAEYOUNG! CHAEYOUNG!!" Jungkook screamed, trying to get the girl and failing.
Jungkook got out of his room, freshly showered, with a new found flare in himself. He went to the hall where everyone was seated, after freshening up, lifelessly on the couches. Some blaming themselves, some crying, some consoling and some unbothered.
"Taehyung hyung!" He walked over to his best friend, disturbing his focus from the mobile he was fidgeting with. The boy raised his head from what he was doing and looked at the other with a disrupted face.
"What are you doing?" Jungkook asked when he registered the frowning expression.
"I was checking the video." The older boy stated and everyone turned to him, hoping for some kind of lead. "I was checking the video for something, anything. All I found till now was that the video was shot from this mobile. I'm even trying to track the location to which this mobile has been, but, to no avail. Seems like they are in some area that is quite far off from any network."
"I was going to check the room again." Jungkook said and the other three boys nodded, following him silently.
They were scanning the room silently, not conversing once yet connecting over their equal worry for the girls. They had a quick go through of the room while some of the elders just watched from the sidelines, too cautious to interrupt any of them and be the victim of their wrath.
"Is this..." Eunwoo mumbled, his eyes trained on a metal decoration that lay near the window, hidden behind the curtains.
The other boys rounded next to him, trying to have a look. Jimin bent and picked up the gold idol, turning it as dried red liquid made streaks around it. Blood.
They all looked at each other and then towards the door, where the elders stood, silently observing them. They Turned completely and Jimin forwarded his hand towards them, letting them see what they found.
"It's probably Jennie's " Mr. Jeon spoke silently. " She was the one who came here later and had a visible injury on her."
Taehyung took in a sharp breath as he took in the quantity of blood on the mantelpiece and the one that draped down the unconscious girl's face in the video. Th intake wasn't much loud but enough to reach everyone's ears. Mr. Kim walked to his son and placed a hand on his shoulder but Taehyung just shook his head , going back to his searching.
He looked around the place where the blood-covered idol was found and just in a few seconds something caught his eyes. He bent down to see the sticker-like thing, covered in grease, sticking to the window panel.
"Here is something else." He called, carefully trying to get it all off without tearing it.
"It's some sort of sticker." He observed, cleaning the grease off.
"Wax ornaments?" He read it out.
"Wait, show me." Jungkook asked and taking it and staring at it for a while.
"I know this. It's the same place from where I crystallized the flowers for Chaeyoung's birthday gift. It's the factory that takes special orders." He said, a hope shining in his eyes.
"What?" He asked when he saw everyone looking at him. "There is a more important matter at hand."
"Do you have it's address?" Mason asked 
"I had it delivered to me but the address is on the box's back." He said, rushing out to Chaeyoung's room. He rummaged through her closet to find the box but couldn't even get a hint of it.
