Jumin POV

After a moment the alarm stopped, but my phone rang. My hands were shaking, still clinging to the gun I put Elizabeth down and reached for my phone.

Caller ID: Unknown

I could feel beads of sweat roll down my face as I hit the green button. Slurred laughter haunted my ears.

"Haha Mr. Han, it seems you've chosen your pet over your lover!" Disgust filled me as I screamed into the phone "WHERE THE HELL IS MC?!" I heard a sickening snicker on the other end, "I gave you so many hints Mr. Corporate heir, though really I should thank you for leaving me with such a pretty lady."

I heard him slur the last part which twisted my insides. "DON'T TOUCH HER! DON'T LOOK AT HER! I'M THE ONE YOU WANT JUST TELL ME WHERE TO GO!" It sounded like a desperate plea but I hoped that the sheer volume of my voice was enough to scare the man.

"Tsk. Tsk. I'm getting impatient. Your rose may not make it much longer…" What he said terrified me but even more so was the cry that followed. It was a short cry, caused my distress or shock perhaps. But I'd know that voice anywhere. Its owner was the only one that could make my blood boil, my heart flutter, completely make me and completely destroy me.

It was her.

He caused her pain. Every ounce of my existence screamed that this wasn't going to happen. I wouldn't let him touch her. Not now, not ever. I opened my mouth overflowing with emotions, yet not knowing what too say and then,

Beep

The line went dead.

I was being ripped apart at the seams. She was my only red thread that completed me and yet slowly, she was being cut away from me. I needed to think clearly. Where were they? The hacker said he gave me clues…but what could have been a clue?! What was I missing? I was Rubbing my temples deep in thought when Elizabeth started meowing frantically.

It had started to rain.

I was so numb to everything I couldn't feel it of course but I watched at how Elizabeth's fur started to be weighed down by the water, that's when I noticed it.

Around the white felines neck was what seemed to be a tracking device, must have been how the alarm went off as soon as I picked her up earlier, I reasoned. But there was also…a rose.

A single red rose.

…

I'm such an idiot.

I grabbed the cat and sprinted to the helicopter, jumping in I yelled the destination to the pilot and we were off. Quickly I gave Elizabeth to one of the security members, ignoring the confused stares, and scurried to call Seven. In the middle of dialing his number, he called.

Convenient.

I wasted no time in answering. "Jumin! I know where MC is turn around she's not at the Mint Eye headquarters! She's at-"

"I know. The rose garden."

MC POV

As you slowly regained consciousness the car came to a stop. Slowly you raised your head and as you looked out the window, surprised at the familiar scene painted in front of you.

It was home.

Had this all been a dream? Your theory was quickly shot down as the man in the driver's seat threw a white face mask and a baseball cap in the back seat. You were still regaining your consciousness but it seemed like he was talking to someone on the phone… he suddenly pointed a handgun toward the backseat where you sat.

It took you a moment to understand the situation completely but the moment you did your eyes grew wide as you let out a short cry, you where shocked, terrified, and confused. The man ended the call and put his phone down, "You live here right? Wear that. And don't make eye contact with anyone."

You found yourself overwhelmed with questions. "W-what? Why? Who are yo-" "The hacker. I'm the hacker that deleted all your photos and hacked into your RFA app." He said with a strict tone, "Now we're going to walk into this building like a couple in love. Nobody is going to suspect a thing." you opened you mouth to protest but immediately closed it when the man cocked the gun, "Your going to cooperate. We won't have any problems now will we?"

You had no choice. Defeated, you slowly put on the hat and mask. There was something you had to know though, you broke the silence with a trebling voice "Is…is the rest of the RFA safe? You're not planning to hurt Jum-"

"We don't have time for this. Get out of the car!" He interrupted in a rushed, slurred voice.

You get out of the car, immediately he shares his tan colored coat with you, it was big enough to cover both of you. He slipped his arm in-between you and the coat. However, you couldn't feel his arm on your back, instead you felt the rim of something cold being pressed against your side. You carefully lifted the coat to reveal the hand gun being pressed against your frame.

"Don't panic. Remember, where in love darling." The man said in a sarcastic tone. You didn't say anything, just followed his lead avoiding all wondering eyes as the two of you made your way toward the back of the building.

You found yourself traveling through a door you didn't even know existed, once you got inside you noticed the elevator was a short distance away. Your eyes where glued to the ground, but you could tell something was different. You couldn't exactly recall what part of the building you where in, all you could depict was it was dark and quiet.

Until you heard the rushing of footsteps.

The hacker practically dragged you while full on sprinting toward the open elevator doors. When the two of you where in he frantically hit the close button for the doors. In the moment before the doors shut you could faintly hear dialog from the incoming footsteps.

"Chief what's the situation?"

"We received orders from Assistant Kang, security members are to leave no place in the building unwatch-"

Close

The man beside you let out a sigh of relief, it seems they didn't see us. Silently you thanked Jaehee, the others must have found out about the situation then. You felt a small glimmer of hope, knowing that the RFA wouldn't leave you. But it slowly faded as the elevator lifted you higher.

Toxic thoughts swarmed your mind, what if the others get hurt? Where's Jumin? Is he looking for me? What if I never see any of them again? Annoyed and scared with all the questions uncertainty which only seemed to grow with each passing floor, you decided to try again.

Breaking the silence, you quietly asked, "P-please…sir tell me….at least are the other RFA memb-"

"Shut Up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" he interrupted you jamming the weapon further in your side, you let out a small shriek.

With his dark wide orbs staring staring into yours he barked "Listen. I'll answer one question when we get there. But you need to cooperate, all you are is bait. You're in darkness until I can take you to paradise."

After he said this the elevator came to a stop as a small gridded pad lit up by the floor buttons. He looked at you expectantly, it wasn't like you to give in so easily. But you felt you were out of options, at least he'll answer one of your questions, you reasoned. You were one of the only people that had access to the roof, and you wondered why the man next to you didn't just hack into the system himself.

Hesitantly, you lifted your hand and put your thumb to the gridded pad. Within a moment, the pad turned green and the doors opened.

A familiar sight was displayed before you. One you normally looked to with joy, standing next to the man you loved. Was now a sight you were seeing filled with terror, standing next to your demise.

The Rose Garden.

The hacker lead you to the center of the garden, where a beautiful large water fountain lived surrounded by large rose bushes that acted as walls. You would have never guessed you where actually standing on the roof of a 100 foot building. He wasted no time tying your hands together the first chance he got.

You where sitting by the fountain, your hands tied in front of you, and with the hanker sitting in front of you. His gun rested at his side along with your phone, while he pulled out his own phone and started typing frantically. He had put his tan jacket fully back on himself and you couldn't help but notice how tightly he held it to himself.

He seemed tense and anxious but ever since the two of you reached the garden you noticed his facial features loosen a bit. You decided this would be the best time, desperate for answers, you tried asking again.

"You said you'd answer my question." Which seemed to catch him off guard. "Question? Oh." He looked up at you with a sickening smirk "What is it ya wanna know?"

You took a deep breath carefully wording your questions, "Your…the hacker…why do you want the RFA destroyed? I'm sure there's just been a misunderstanding…" He looked back down to his phone and said in a determined voice "Because I'm going to save all of you. Your all going to be with me in paradise soon."

You were confused, you didn't understand what this 'paradise' was but you knew one thing, it wasn't good. You felt powerless as you asked, "Are the other members ok? you're not planning to kidnap them as well right? Jumin will know something's up…I'm sure of it."

Now he looked annoyed as he looked up at you with furrowed brows "So noisy! I said one question yet you ask another! Your boyfriend or whatever is on his way here so just hush up until he gets here." The man let out an aggravated sigh as made a move to stand up.

"Here. I hacked it so you can't do anything anyway, but at least you can look at that blurry picture on your lock screen and shut up." He said as he tossed your phone to you and moved further away from you, just out of hearing distance, and sat down aggressively typing on his phone again.

You looked down and lone behold there it was, that blurry picture of Jumin and you at the airport before your flight. The hope you felt from before was back, and it filled your whole body. You knew he would come save you, but that also worried you…you didn't want anyone else in danger or hurt.

After a moment you unlocked your phone and pressed the RFA app, which too your surprise…actually opened. You could see Zen, Jaehee, and Yoosung had been in the chat room, you were about to type something before the app crashed. That's when you realized…

The hacker was at war with Seven right now.

You looked over to where the hacker had resided, out of view of the elevators that threatened to open at any moment, but still in full sight of where you were. He was typing on his phone with a smirk plastered across his cold features. He must be trying to get the members information within the app…you felt the overwhelming urge to stop him…to buy seven some time at least. Before you could do anything you felt the phone in your hand,

Buzz

Jumins POV

"I know. The rose garden."

Luciel seemed shocked but quickly recovered, "Y-yeah…you're on your way right? How long till you get there?" There was a sense of urgency in his tone. "We just left, with top speed we'll be there in thirty minutes."

I was done with the small talk, I needed answers. "Did you find anything on the hacker? Anything on MC's phone?" I tried to not sound desperate, but Luciel seemed to understand, "Nothing new on the hacker, I'm just trying to stop him from gaining access to the messenger app, he keeps trying to hack it. I'm afraid I won't be able to do much else other then stop his attempts right now. But I was able to hack into MC's phone, you can call her now but I'm not sure for how long or if she can even pick up."

I was overjoyed with this small hope "Oh God thank you! Thank you Luciel I'm in your debt." He chuckled on the other end "You can repay your debts by letting me play with my Elly~"

Beep

I couldn't stop the smile that grew on my face, I couldn't be free from this hysteria until she was safe in my arms. But knowing she was alright and hearing her voice, for right now, would be enough.

Quickly I dialed her number and after the first ring, she picked up.

MC POV

You saw the phone vibrating in front of you as your lovers' face filled the screen. Your thoughts were racing but you quickly picked up the call and pressed the phone to your cheek, cupping the sound with your other hand. You didn't even get a chance to breathe before the voice you came to love filled your ears.

"MC?! Oh God MC you picked up! Are you hurt?" You could hear the despair in his voice masked with urgency, determination, and…love. In fear of the man who sat a few feet away, you were able to manage a quiet yet reassuring "Mhm"

You heard his sigh of relief on the other side, his voice filled you with hope and happiness even in this desperate situation. His voice cracked as he whispered "I'm coming sweetheart, just stay strong for a little longer. I'm sorry it's taking me so long…I-I should have never let you go alone…" You heard his voice hitch, was he crying? You could count on one hand the number of times he'd actually shed a tear and the fact that you couldn't do anything to help this time made you feel worse.

You looked over your shoulder at the Hacker, considering he was so engrossed in his own work, you argued he wouldn't hear you if you were quiet enough.

"J-Jumin…" you started but that was all you could choke out; you didn't realize the ball in your throat preventing you from speech.

Your eyes started to water as he spoke again, "Mc, it's ok you don't have to say anything. Just knowing you're on the other end, knowing that your safe is all I need to give me the strength to go on. We'll go home soon MC don't worry, I'll bring you home safe and sound. Please, wait for me…" You could tell he was fighting sobs but he became stronger, warmer, as he talked.

You smiled, his voice bringing you out of this hell hole you found yourself in. "I'll wait for you, be careful lov-"

You were caught off guard as the hacker interrupted you, throwing your phone on the ground and smashing it to bits. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING TO!?"

Immediately the happiness that consumed you was reduced to a memory at the sight of your smashed phone, yet his voice still lingered in your mind giving you strength. The Hacker on the other hand was furious, he kicked the broken shards of the phone toward you, a fragment slicing a thin line on your cheek.

"I thought I hacked it how could somebody call you?!" The man stormed off back to where he was sitting, leaving you alone with the sound of the waterfall, your broken phone, and your mind focusing on only three words.

"Wait for me."

V's POV

I arrived at Rika's old apartment after receiving a call from Luciel about the Hacker situation. I was confused but none the less, I needed to do what I could. So here I was, standing in would would be my fiancés apartment, looking for anything that could give us a lead on the Hacker.

I couldn't see very well but I knew the documents I needed to check for. An hour passed and the whole apartment was searched. There was nothing missing, added, or changed. It was exactly the way MC had left it before she went to live with Jumin.

I started to walk towards the door, when I realized something actually was missing. My eyes couldn't be failing me on this. Terrified, I called Seven who picked up after a couple rings, "Hey V, did you find anythi-"

"WHERE'S THE HACKER?!"
