The Hollow Region Whispers of the missing

Whispers of the missing

The car sped through the quiet streets, the dim lights casting shadows across the leather seats. Jungkook sat in the back, his posture rigid and his eyes distant. His assistant, sitting up front, shuffled through the papers with a quiet urgency and hesitantly speaks;

Park Jimin(Assistant)(A)

There have been more reports... Missing people. Children. The number’s up to thirty in the last seven years.

Jungkook’s cold, rough voice cut through the silence before the assistant could continue.

Jeon Jungkook

Hmm, What about investigation?

Park Jimin(Assistant)(A)

Right. Well... strange thing is, many of the missing kids are from the Jeon family’s orphanages. A few of the nuns have disappeared too.

Jungkook’s gaze remained fixed out the window, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest as he processed the words. His expression was unreadable, but a tightness in his jaw betrayed the hint of irritation, not at the news, but at the situation itself.

*Thoughts*

Jeon Jungkook

*Orphanages... Again. This isn’t just random. It never is. *

He didn’t look at his assistant, but his next words were sharp, yet controlled, like a man used to being in charge. ( He is the so-called king obviously)

Jeon Jungkook

What’s the connection?

The assistant glanced back nervously before speaking again.

Park Jimin(Assistant)(A)

No one knows for sure. There are rumors—something about an underground operation, but no one has solid evidence. It’s like the cases vanish into thin air.

Jungkook leaned back in his seat, his fingers still tapping, his eyes narrowing.

Jeon Jungkook

*This isn’t coincidence. If there’s one thing I know, it’s that these things are never just... random.*

Park Jimin(Assistant)(A)

It’s unsettling, sir. Some of the kids had families, some just... disappeared with no trace. We haven’t even been able to track down the nuns. It’s like they’re... vanishing.

Jungkook finally turned his head, his gaze piercing as he looked at the assistant. His voice was authoritative but less rough now.

Jeon Jungkook

I don’t need rumors. I need facts. I’ll find out who’s behind this. Make sure all the investigation files come to me directly. We’re not letting this slip through the cracks any longer.

The assistant nodded, his fear evident but replaced by a deep respect. Jungkook's presence, even in silence, was commanding.

The car rolled on, but Jungkook’s mind was already deep within the layers of the case, his thoughts calculating each step. His aloof exterior barely masked his growing sense of responsibility. For all the coldness, there was a level of care in his every word—he wasn’t just the king, he was someone who got the job done.

Jeon Jungkook

*I’ll find out who’s doing this. No one gets away with it... I think someone within the investigation team also needs to be disciplined.*
