A sharp ring from Taehyung's phone knocked off his senses. He rampaged on his nearby desk and then ended up finding his phone under the pillow he was sleeping on.

After trying several tries, he opened his eyes painfully and received the call without checking the caller's name.

"Hello?" Taehyung answered in his deep husky voice, probably sounding like he caught a cold.

"Hello, Taehyung, it's me, Professor Lee. Are you sick?" A concerned voice came from the other side when Taehyung tried his hardest to get back to his senses.

"Ahh! Good morning, sir. No, I'm not sick, thank you for your concern. How may I help you, Sir?" He massaged his eyes and yawned almost inaudibly, placing his phone to the farest from his face.

"Well, it's afternoon already. Fine, as you say. You must have been doing overwork again. Take care of yourself, okay?" He sighed before continuing "So getting to the point, our contracted team has found some suspicious things related to mummies. I highly believe that we will eventually find one 'real mummy' there. And as you're one of my brightest interns and favourite student, I want you to research on the site we are having our most intuition with. I want you to find details related to the place and its history."

"Wait, what-" Taehyung jolted down from his bed surprisingly and sat on the thick layered mattress floor. He couldn't believe his ears and pinched his arm in between his two moles.

"Do you want to be a part of this research, Taehyung?" Professor Lee asked in which Tae reacted like an orphan who finally got to be adopted by a family.

"Sir, is this even a question? I really want to work on this project. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I'll never let you down."

Professor Lee chuckled, he knew what was going to be the lad's reaction.

"You have three days to pack and arrange your things, I've already booked your ticket along with Yoongi's. Do me a favour, let him know on my behalf, I'm currently on my way to New Jersey, so I may not be able to contact you guys for straight 14 hours."

"Okay sir, it'll be my pleasure. Have a safe journey. And again thank you for giving us this valuable opportunity. I hope you have a great day".

"Do your best there, I'll be counting on you two" Professor Lee said and cut the call.

Taehyung let his body fall back after standing up. As he landed on the soft bed, a smile was noticeably plastered on his sharp face. He started to throw his fists and leg up in the air in excitement.

He brought his pillow closer to his chest and hugged it tightly "Today can't be more better than this". He was so happy as it was going to be his first ever 'on the spot' type of work in Egypt. 

He had visited many different places with his teammates and professors but this mission was kind of special. He was going to Egypt, the place which has attracted him since his childhood. The very place which is known for its ancient civilization and the monuments of the majestic pharaohs, such as the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, the GEM, Sakkara, Dahshur and many more.

A headache struck suddenly as he understood he hadn't totally got over the hangover from yesterday. Taehyung freshened up and went towards his kitchen.

On the way, he found Yoongi relaxing on the sofa with a newspaper while stretching his slender legs on the nearby table. He sure looked like a lazy furry cat but Taehyung thought not to offend him by telling such a thing first in the morning or afternoon was it?

Before Taehyung could greet, Yoongi showed a gummy smile and welcomed Taehyung beside him "Good morning. How was your sleep?"

"It was really good, where are the others?" Taehyung asked and sat beside Yoongi.

"They already left as they had work today." Yoongi stood up and walked towards the kitchen's direction to bring a cup of coffee for the younger. People might see him cold from outside but he is a softie from inside. 

"Mm, they had to leave early then." Taehyung sighed and looked at the direction Yoongi was coming from.

"Thank you, you're the sweetest." Taehyung chimed when Yoongi handed him the hot cup with some cookies.

"Also Hyung, I have something to tell you" Taehyung stated in glee.

"Yes, go on" Yoongi confirmed and sat in the same position with the newspaper he was reading before.

"Professor Lee called me this morning. He wants us to research the area they've suspicions of a New Mummy. Believe me, I saw the same news yesterday on the TV and I couldn't believe I would be really going there to work on it"

"New mummy? I've been reading the newspaper since morning but there is no article on any kind of information like this. Also no news or blogs on social media too." Yoongi knotted his brows in confusion.

"Strange!" Taehyung said in disbelief "How come there is not anything on the Internet when I saw it with my own eyes on the TV?"

"You were so drunk yesterday, maybe you heard it wrong" Yoongi retorted.

"Believe me, I clearly saw and heard it."

"It happens. You must have been dreaming that. And dreams seem quite realistic even after we wake up" Yoongi said casually to calm down the younger.

"But-" Taehyung said as he knew something was not right and was damn sure the news he saw yesterday was real in front of his eyes. The things he saw were solid evidence so he went to check his search history on the phone.

The search history should be the same as his laptop's as it was linked with it. But strangely, there was nothing. Ignoring the fact, he tried to search again but as usual nothing showed up.

He tried again but it was no use.

"You're kidding me" Taehyung wanted to curse in frustration.

"What happened?" Yoongi asked concernedly, seeing Taehyung's reaction.

"Ohh, it's nothing hyung, maybe you're right" Taehyung gave a fake smile to hide his tension. However, deep down he knew something was wrong with it.

He could not be wrong about this.

To get away from the uneasiness, Taehyung munched on the cookie just to end up cry out in pain.
