2021
(Jungkook is 18 and Hoseok is 21)
"Jungkook found him" "He found him?" "Yes, he contacted us this morning with the message that he found him and is waiting to make a plan" Hoseok's mom breaks down. "We found him" Hoseoks dad says and it gets emotional in the secret room.
The first time Jungkook laid eyes on Hoseok, he instantly knew it was him. He got choked up in how much older he had gotten. Well it was been 16 years. The last time Jungkook saw him he was almost 3.
They keep Hoseok always with guards yet he's trained and fed well. He's always watched so it's hard for Jungkook to approach him.
Will it be better if he doesn't know? Many ideas of how they should plan this out go through his mind. But the one thing he's sure of is he's getting Hoseok back home, he's saving his brother.
~~
The royal family was always a well loved family. It consisted of the President and First Lady, then came Prince Hoseok. They didn't go by royalties but he was called as such as he had such a gentle face and always loved saying hi when they were out.
3 years later came Jungkook. The second born of the family and he was kept more private for the first two years.
When Hoseok was 5, was when he was violently kidnapped from the Blue House. A close official of the family had kidnapped Hoseok at night.
The president and lady turned South Korea upside down looking for him. It was two years later when they were able to trace the official and his accomplices who had kidnapped Hoseok and trace them all the way back to North Korea.
They made it public after speaking privately to the North for their help, but the North made no intention of helping. They had hopes uproar from the public would help convince the north to help the family find their son, but to no surprise, the north ignored them and refused.
10 more years passed. 17 in total since the last time they had seen Hoseok. Hoseok's father training soldiers to become the best in combat and in tactics, to become spies.
Once Jungkook turned 18 he immediately registered to be sent to the North as a spy. The president immediately denied it but in the end he knew if someone was going to be as dedicated as they could be to find Hoseok, it would be Jungkook. So it was decided that Jungkook would be sent.
After the kidnapping happened, the president and First Lady decided that it was best that Jungkook wasn't in the public eye. There wasn't a single photo of him anywhere and no one knew how he looked like unless the president and lady herself approved or wanted them too.
Jungkook was sent in with a team of five. Went undercover and business men from the States, all four men were taught English before departing.
Jungkook being in charge was able to find Hoseok within a couple months. As suspected he was being kept in a government holding facility.
It wasn't until a couple months after he found Hoseok that they we finally going to carry out the plan which was made at home but adjusted here after seeing all the new information.
~~
Almost a year later. Jungkook was now 19 and Hoseok 22. The plan was to cut all electricity at the facility, get Hoseok out and bomb it as soon as possible. Black outs were common so it wouldn't trigger an alarm and they'd go during night to help be more discrete.
~~
They had 2 of the guys go undercover inside along with Jungkook awhile after their arrival so it wouldn't be suspicious. It was only the top spies and agents that the South had that were sent on that mission and only a limited few of 5. Meaning only two were outside.
The plan was to be carried out that Friday and it was Thursday morning. Jungkook was able to finally get to speak to Hoseok.
There were cameras inside so he couldn't say anything but he made sure to pass him a slip of paper as he handed him the tray. Hoseok looked at him confused but Jungkook had to go to not make it seem suspicious.
Hoseok eats quietly thinking about the piece of paper in his pocket. When he's in the bathroom after the meal is when he quickly checks pretending to be scratching his feet because he knows there's cameras even in the bathroom.
12am tonight. Be ready. JJK. As he wiped, he threw it and went back to his room. 12am? Be ready for what? Who was that guy? He looked young.
It was 11:56 when Hoseok was laying in bed looking at the door. There had been times when guards or higher ups had tried to do something to him. He knew how to fight but it was always tiring and he always got hurt.
It hits exactly 12 when the lights go off, he sits up and looks around, when his room door makes a noice that it was unlocked. The electricity went out.
He gets up going to the door when it opens and it's the same guy as earlier. He steps back. "Come on" he says and grabs Hoseoks hand and pulls him as they start running.
"Wh-where are you taking me?" He asks as they stop to hide from some guards. Jungkook makes shush motion and Hoseok looks around. He could try and make a run for it, but what does he have to lose? Being trapped in here is hell.
It's been about a minute when there's suddenly sirens. The sound of guards running get closer and closer. Jungkook pulls him and they start running. "Ya! Can i know who you are?" "Shh" Jungkook says covering his mouth and suddenly pulling him into a big room.
They stay in the dark silent, when the door opens and two guys walk in, Hoseok backing up. "All clear, go" one of the guys says. Jungkook nods and removes a painting which shows a lever, he then pulls and it looks like a garbage disposal. "Go" he says pushing Hoseok towards it.
Hoseok hesitates before he climbs and gets in. He slides and lands on a hard soft surface. He looks up and sees two guys. "Come on, he's about to come down" they pull Hoseok up and Jungkook slides down. The other two guys following.
"Get in, come on" Jungkook says opening a door to a big Cadillac. Hoseok goes in as one of the other guys climbs through the other side. Jungkook gets beside him and the two guys that were outside climb in the front and they drive off.
Hoseok looks around, they're all silent. As soon as they pass a huge gate there's an explosion behind them and it causes Hoseok to jump. He turns and sees the building on fire.
Who are they? Could I take them? Probably but I don't know what weapons they have. "We have to get to the site in an hour" Jungkook says and they all nod. "Take xxx, central is probably blocked" They keep talking back and forth and Hoseok doesn't know what to say or do. He's kind of freaking out, what if they sell him off?
An hour passed by quickly and Hoseok sees they're at a landing track. "Come on, they're about to arrive and we need to be up in 5 minutes. Out of view" one of the guys says and they all get off quickly, running to mini plane.
They quickly board the plane and take off. Hoseoks palms are sweating and he's incredibly nervous. He doesn't know why he's so willingly going along with these guys but honestly anything to get away from that place. "We'll cross the border in about 20 minutes", one of the guys says and they all look busy doing something, working on this and that.
He's sure 20 minutes have passed when the guys get up, the guy that gave him the note breaks down and Hoseok is so confused. "We did it Kook" one says and the guy nods coming towards him. "Hi" he says and it's a South Korean accent. Hoseok looks around at the guys.
"Um I'm sorry if you're frightened or shocked it's just wow. Um Hyung it's me, Jungkook" JJK? Jung Jungkook. When Hoseok was first kidnapped he dreamed of the day this would happen and slowly by slowly it started because more and more unreal. He's being rescued.
He breaks down looking down at his lap. "Hyung. It's okay. We'll be home in about 30 minutes. I'm sorry we took so long" "Thank you for coming for me" he says softly and Jungkook breaks down more grabbing his hands. "We moved earth upside down to find you. We'd never give up. Mom and dad are waiting for us, okay?" Hoseok nods. Jungkook whipes his cheeks gently and pulls him into a gentle hug.
Once they're about to land, Hoseok sees about 20 black Cadillacs surrounding the landing track. It all feels surreal. He's really home. He's back home.
His hands are shaking as he gets up and Jungkook grabs his hand gently. They step down and he slowly looks up, seeing his mom and dad rushing to him. He breaks down as they pull him in a hug. Jungkook joins them. As they pull away Hoseok looks around sees so many cars and lights. "You're home" his mom whispers and he can't say anything, nothing coming out.
"Come on" his mother says pulling him into a car. She still looks that same, so does his father. Tears fall as he can't believe he's really home. They arrive to the hospital. "Yoongi go tell the director we're here. Don't let anyone see you or hear about this!" "Got it ma'am".
They go into a room and Hoseok holds onto his moms hand, not wanting to let go. She smiles at him, fixing his hair gently. A doctor comes in and does a quick check up. "He looks good, he's just a bit malnourished but we can quickly get it under control. He might suffer from PTSD, so I will recommend therapy" they nod and go in. "Hyung" Jungkook says softly and Hoseok smiles following him.
"We kept your room with your stuff, although you probably grew out of all your toys and clothes. You can look online with me tomorrow and we can browse clothes and furniture for your room" "Online?" "Yes, on the internet" Hoseok smiles shyly, "Internet?" He feels dumb, feels like he should know what it is. "I'll show you tomorrow" she says smiling and pulling him close, he nods and enters his room with her. It brings back a bit of memories, his bed is so small.
"You can sleep with Jungkookie tonight or while your bed comes" "But..where will he sleep?" "He'll sleep there too" Hoseok nods. They go to Jungkook's room, it's actually really ambient. "Do you like it hyung?" "Hm" Jungkook pulls him inside and shows him around. Their mom smiles watching them, tearing up. "Do you want to freshen up?" "Mm". His mom guides him to the shower and shows him where everything is, as well as giving him clothes, "Jungkookie would send your sizes, so we got some clothes prepared" "Thank you" "Mhm".
~~
Hoseok wakes up and he sees Jungkook asleep beside him. He takes a deep breath taking in everything again. He's finally back home. He gently reaches out and touches Jungkook's hair, "You're up" Jungkook says grabbing his arm suddenly. "Mm" Jungkook opens his eyes looking at him. "You're finally home Hyung" "Thanks to you" "I'm just sorry it took so long" "It's okay, I'm here now" Jungkook nods.
~~
A week later it's announced that he has been rescued and is now back home. He's taking therapy and getting to know around. North Korea is less modernized so it's hard for him to know a lot of things. Jungkook helps a lot, it's a form of them getting to know each other and get closer. He's been at home resting not going out but he doesn't mind.
"The people want to see you, we'll go walk around okay?" His mom says and he nods softly. Around them they have about a dozen bodyguards and then several cars. When they see him, the people scream clapping and cheering. He bows lightly, he'd holding his moms hand tightly. It's frightening being around so many people.
"You used to like this, remember. You'd love saying hi" she whispers and he has very faint memories.
~~
A few days go by and he's assigned a personal bodyguard. "Hyung this is Namjoon hyung. He'll be your bodyguard from now on" Jungkook says coming in with a guy. He's so built and yet has a friendly face. "Okay" he says softly and Jungkook nods leaving them. Hoseok is still getting used to home and the accent here. He tried so hard in the North for their accent but this accent comes easy but he sometimes forgets or the northern accent just slips out.
"Hi" he says softly. "Hey" he stands behind him and Hoseok glances at him then continues scrolling online.
~~
A year.
Hoseoks been home for a year. He's more comfortable to go out and he starts socializing more. He's still very shy and has therapy still. Although he's now here and safe, he still has nightmares every night. He wakes up shaking and sweating.
His bodyguard Namjoon sometimes comes in and wakes him up but sometimes Hoseoks too quiet he doesn't realize. Only Namjoon and his therapist know about the nightmares. He doesn't want his parents to know, doesn't want them feeling upset or guilty.
His therapist says it's good to go out, explore. So he lets Namjoon take him to his favorite places. Some people hate how he was rescued, "Causing problems with the North just for him" he's heard a dozen times.
"Joonah" he says softly as they're walking in a museum. Hoseok had come to realize that Namjoon loves museums. "Mm" "I'm hungry" Hoseok says softly and Namjoon smiles turning to him. "We just got here" "But I'm hungry" Hoseok pouts and Namjoon smiles bigger. "A couple more minutes, okay?" Hoseok scoffs and turns to walk away. "Ya" Namjoon says and pulls Hoseok back. Hoseok giggles and Namjoon smiles. It's very few times Hoseok genuinely smiles. Namjoon doesn't let go of Hoseoks hand.
Probably the person that knows Hoseok the best is Namjoon. He's there every second of the day with Hoseok. Occasionally he has another bodyguard that covers for Namjoon but it's mainly Namjoon. Namjoon takes him to this restaurant to eat. Hoseok looks around and it looks so good. He's starving, having skipped out on breakfast.
They're eating when Namjoon gets a text. "Kook is home" "Really?" "Mm. Just got notified" Hoseok nods and reaches for one of Namjoons piece of steaks. "Ya, you have a whole steak in front of you" "It's not already cut" Hoseok pouts and Namjoon rolls his eyes before pulling Hoseoks plate closer and cutting his steak. Hoseok smiles as Namjoon scoots the plate back to him. "Thank you" he says softly and Namjoon just watches him eat. Hoseok even grabs Namjoons drink. At first Namjoon thought it was just playfulness but one day Hoseok mentioned how in the North they'd put things in his drink and food so Namjoon lets him get away with it. On the other hand, he just drinks Hoseoks drink. He's also noticed Hoseok will drink it once Namjoons tried it. To others it may seem spoiled but Namjoon knows Hoseoks really just scared, so he doesn't judge him for it.
"Ew" Hoseok says as he got coke and Hoseok doesn't like coke as much. "That's what you get for grabbing my drink" Hoseok pouts and Namjoon chuckles. He grabs Hoseoks drink, tries it and gives it back. Hoseok then happily drinks from his. Namjoon never lets him order alcohol when they're outside and Hoseok never wants to so it's good.
One night it's late and Namjoon said he'd be away for a couple minutes and when he comes back he's about to bust through the door when he listens carefully. It's small muffled moans. He sighs resting his head against the wall. Namjoons encouraged Hoseok to find a girlfriend but Hoseok always denies. He takes deep breaths and tries to control his own dick. Just hearing Hoseok does things to himself. Once Hoseoks finished he hears him go wash up.
A few minutes later, he knocks and Hoseoks already freshened up. "I'm back, you going to sleep?" "Mm" Namjoon nods and walks out. It's around 3am when he hears yelling, he wakes up and goes to Hoseoks room. Sees him shaking his head and sweating, "Hoseok. Hoseok wake up" he says shaking him and Hoseok lets tears fall.
"Hey, wake up. It's a nightmare, wake up" Hoseok gasps waking up and Namjoon stands above him. "Hey" Namjoon says softly. "You're okay, it was a nightmare" Namjoon says and Hoseok wipes his eyes turning to Namjoon. "I'm not okay" he says and Namjoon stops. Hoseok looks hurt, looks frightened. Namjoon pulls him close into his arms and Hoseok stays still.
He doesn't like physical touch and Namjoon knows that but this doesn't bother him. Hoseok leans into his touch and Namjoon hugs him more securely. Hoseok stops crying and pulls away, he's pouting. "Want me to get your mom or Kookah?" Hoseok shakes his head and Namjoon nods running a hand through Hoseoks hair. "Can you lay with me?" Hoseok asks softly and Namjoon searches his eyes. He nods and Hoseok moves giving him space and Namjoon climbs in. Hoseok lays down watching him. "I'll be here until you fall asleep okay?" "Don't leave" "I won't then" Hoseok slowly falls asleep.
After that night it becomes more routine for Namjoon to lay down with him. It's almost pretty late and Hoseoks watching a movie, "We should sleep Seok" Hoseok whines moving closer to Namjoon and hugging him. Namjoon looks down at him letting him. He sighs and he knows Hoseoks smiling because he won. Later when they go to sleep, Hoseok turns and cuddles against his side not saying anything and hiding his face against Namjoons chest. Namjoon chuckles and turns pulling Hoseok close. "Are you comfortable?" Hoseok nods and Namjoon plays with his hair.
Soon Hoseok falls asleep and when he wakes up he's still in Namjoons arms, it's the first night he doesn't have a nightmare. It's becomes their new regular. Hoseok doesn't ask and Namjoon just lets him cuddle against his side. Sometimes Hoseok will even hide his face against Namjoons neck. One day Hoseok is clinging to him just cuddling when Namjoon thinks about what they're doing. He shouldn't be this close to Hoseok, he shouldn't be cuddling when he's suppose to be watching their surroundings.
Namjoon tries pulling away and Hoseok whines. "Today I should sleep in my room" Namjoon says. "No" Hoseok says softly. "Seok" "I don't want to have nightmares" Hoseok mumbles. Namjoon realizes that ever since he started cuddling Hoseok, there hasn't been a nightmare. "Fine, I'll stay" Namjoon says and Hoseok smiles undoing the bed. He goes freshen up and Namjoon walks out to freshen up too. When he comes back Hoseoks on the bed and his eyes are watery. "Hey, did something happen" Namjoon asks and Hoseok looks at him, at what he's wearing. He's wearing just sweatpants.
"I thought you left" Hoseok whispers and Namjoon pulls him in a hug. "I won't leave you like that. I went to change to get comfy. I'm right here" Namjoon whispers and Hoseok stays in his hold. "Come on, lets sleep" Hoseok falls asleep pretty quickly.
Jungkook is Hoseoks best friend after Namjoon. They've catched up and hang out going place. Whenever he hangs out with Jungkook, sometimes Namjoon doesn't follow since Jungkook is trained well and Hoseok has training too. "I saw Namjoon coming out of your room early in the morning, he was shirtless" "It's helps my nightmares" Hoseok says softly and Jungkook turns to him. "Nightmares?" "I used to have them every night" "Ahh. Hyung is really a sweetheart" Hoseok smiles and nods.
He's coming back with Jungkook when he sees Namjoon with this other guy. They're laughing and smiling at each other. "I'll see you later" Jungkook says and Hoseok nods. Namjoon sees him and goes up to him saying bye to the other guy. "Who is he?" Hoseok asks. "Another guard" Hoseok nods softly. They're cuddled up against each other, Namjoon already fell asleep but Hoseok can't seem to sleep. He looks up at Namjoon and looks over his features. He softly caresses his eyes and nose, going down to his lips. He stops and just hides his face in Namjoons chest. He feels his cheeks heat up. In front of him is Namjoons nude chest. He softly traces small shapes on his chest.
"It tickles" he hears and pulls away. "Sorry" "Can't sleep?" He shakes his head. "What are you thinking about?" He stays quiet. "Scared?" Hoseok shakes his head. Namjoon then pulls him close cradling his head and he then hears soft humming. He slowly dozes off.
For several days Hoseoks mind is in deep thought about why he feels a certain way and why when he's doing private things, Namjoon comes to mind. All the small things he does for Hoseok come running through his mind. His sweet gestures, the way he always protects Hoseok and the way he cares for him.
Namjoon notices it. Hoseok being quiet, being less talkative. "Hey" Namjoon says softly one night and Hoseok looks up at him. Hoseok's eyes always make him lose his train of thought for a second. "You okay?" Hoseok nods looking away. "Did someone say something?" Hoseok shakes his head. "Then what's occupying your mind so much. You're not here recently" Namjoon says moving hair out of his face. "I think I like someone" "You like someone?" Namjoon asks shocked and Hoseok nods, "Who?" "I'm scared to say" "I won't tell them" "What if they don't like me back?" "Who wouldn't like you Seok?" "I like....you" he says softly.
Namjoon sits up pulling away. "Me? You like me?" Hoseok nods softly. Namjoons shocked. "I didn't want it to be awkward but I just...you're..I really like you and you don't have to a-" Hoseoks pouting and Namjoon can't stop himself as he leans down and captures Hoseoks lips with his. Hoseok whimpers shocked but then kisses back. Namjoon moves cupping Hoseoks cheeks and hovering more above him. Namjoon pulls away as they're both out of breath. Hoseok looks up at him and Namjoon kisses his nose softly, "I have feeling for you too" Hoseok blushes and hides his face.
Namjoon chuckles and hugs him, "Why we're you thinking so much about it?" "I've never liked anyone or anything. I'm not...I don't know" Namjoon chuckles softly. "Was that your first kiss, Seok?" Namjoon asks pulling Hoseoks hands away from his face and Hoseok blushes nodding softly. Namjoon pecks his lips softly. "Didn't feel like it" Hoseok stares up at him, "You really like me?" Namjoon nods staring into his eyes and Hoseok blushes more looking away. "Now go to sleep. It's late" Hoseok cuddles up to him laying in his chest and Namjoon smiles hugging him back.
When Hoseok wakes there's no one beside him, he pouts turning and it's when he sees Namjoon changing in the bathroom. He blushes and turns away. He rethinks of what happened last night and blushes even more. He hears the faucet turn on and turns towards Namjoon covering his face with the covers lightly. Namjoon finishes and turns seeing him, he smiles and slowly walks over. "So you're a shy boyfriend?" Hoseok smiles and nods. Namjoon chuckles and kisses his head. "Get up, you have somewhere to be"
~~
There's a huge thud and Hoseok flinches backing up. He's then pulled and he's about to fight back when he realizes it's Namjoon. "I got you" Namjoon says hugging him and Hoseok stays in his arms as Namjoon guides him away. They get in a car and drive off.
"You okay?" Namjoon asks and Hoseok nods. They get to the blue house and rush in. "Hoseok" his parents say hugging him. Jungkook then comes in running. "Hyung" he says in relief seeing Hoseok. Jungkook hugs him and then they go to a meeting.
"Eomma" he says softly as they're walking out, "Yes" "I have to tell you something" he says softly. She nods listening to him softly. "I'm dating Joonah" Hoseok says softly and his mom smiles, "Your bodyguard?" Hoseok nods, "I'm happy you're able to be happy and enjoy life, don't ever let yourself regret something" she says and he nods. Hoseok comes out and sees Namjoon waiting for him. "Joon" he says running to him and Namjoon smiles but then gets shy as Hoseoks mother follows. Take care of him. She mouths and Namjoon nods. He looks down at Hoseok and smiles, caressing his cheeks. Namjoon leans down and pecks his lips, "I wanna take you somewhere" Namjoon whispers. "Where?" Hoseok asks, "It's a surprise" Hoseok searches his eyes and nods softly.
There's been a few nights where he has nightmares that Namjoon hurts him, that Namjoon takes him to the North. He trusts Namjoon completely though. "Kook is coming too" "He is?" "Mm" Namjoon knows. Knows even though Hoseok doesn't say it. And he doesn't blame Hoseok, because he gets it. Jungkook drives them somewhere and waves bye at them. Namjoon pulls Hoseok close and guides him inside. Inside is really dark and Hoseok clings closely to Namjoon. Then there's a loud noise and the roof is opening and you can see the star so up close. "Woah" he says softly and Namjoon smiles. "You like It?" "It's so pretty" "You're so pretty" Hoseok turns to him and smiles blushing, "You know I was called pretty boy at that camp, so many guys would try coming up to me and touching me. I hated being called pretty" "Do you still hate it?" "I feel weird about it" "Then You're beautiful, you're ethereal, did they call you that?" "Ani" Hoseok says softly. "Woooo" Hoseok hears and turns seeing Jungkook. "Kookah" Hoseok says smiling. "Hyung you have a boyfriend!" Hoseok smiles blushing, he comes and sits on the other side of Hoseok. "I'll go get the drinks and stuff" Namjoon says and they nod. "Are you happy hyung?" "Mm, all that's to you" "I spent my whole life fighting so I could rescue you" "Thank you so much" Hoseok tears up, "Hyung! Don't cry!" "It's just you really saved me, thank you Kookah" Jungkook tears up too. "Thank you for staying alive and being okay. I'm really happy you're enjoying life now" "You made him my bodyguard on purpose didn't you?" Hoseok asks chuckling. "Ani" Jungkook smiles winking.
Hoseok smiles as he watches Namjoon coming back as Jungkook rubs his back. He's home. He's happy. He's loved. He has a brother and bodyguard, slash lover, now.
