Episode 10
Later that night, Jungkook makes another attempt to find Taehyung by checking his social media accounts, but there are no updates.
He starts scrolling through old photos of the two of them, reliving moments that now feel painfully distant.

Jeon Jungkook
I never thought I’d be here, looking at old photos, hoping for a miracle. (almost pleading)
Jeon Jungkook
I should have been better, Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook
I should have seen what you needed and given you my time.
Jeon Jungkook
I was so focused on everything else… and now I’m paying the price.
Desperate, Jungkook calls up a private investigator, giving them all the information he has on Taehyung, hoping they can find him.
???
We’ll do our best, Mr. Jeon. (private investigator speaks on the phone)
???
But sometimes people don’t want to be found, and that can make things difficult.
Jeon Jungkook
I understand. Just… please, find him.
Jeon Jungkook
He’s my whole world. I’ll pay whatever it takes. (voice tearing)
Days pass, each one filled with agonizing silence as Jungkook waits for updates.
He checks his phone constantly, his heart racing every time it rings, only to be disappointed when it’s not the investigator.
In a moment of desperation, Jungkook records a heartfelt message and sends it to Taehyung, even though he’s not sure if Taehyung will ever listen.
Jungkook’s Voice Message:
Jeon Jungkook
Taehyung… I don’t know if you’ll ever hear this, but I need you to know something. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry for not giving you the love and attention you deserved. I let you down, and I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. Please… if you hear this, come back. Or let me know you’re safe. I just… I need to know that you’re okay. I’ll spend every day making it up to you if you give me the chance. 😢
Jungkook sitting alone in their darkened apartment, waiting and hoping for any sign of Taehyung.
The emptiness is overwhelming, and for the first time, he fully grasps the gravity of his actions and the depth of the love he stands to lose.
