Just Us Three-But It Doesn't Have to Be

Part 44

"So things just got a lot more complicated." Jungkook huffed out when they were tucked safely in their room, after making sure that once again there were no sorts of devices planted about the room, and that the others were a safe distance downstairs. They had talked with Yugyeom, Jisung, YeonJun and Felix a little bit more, but in the end they ended not really gotten overly comfortable with them yet. They did not really know what to do, or what to even talk about. They had not expected anything better, but they knew that it could have gone much worse in the end. They were just lucky that the Hyungs had taken over when they had, stating that they needed to talk to them about the schedules that they would be going by, or something like that. Jimin suspected there was more to it then that, but he had not really wanted to delve further. He had not really had the chance to even entertain the thought before they rushed up the stairs to the relative safety of their room.

"You mean besides the fact that we suddenly got shoved four new teachers instead of just one?" Jimin asked sarcastically. Jungkook glared at Jimin.

"Yes, that." He said with a roll of his eyes.

"Okay, okay, that is enough you two," Taehyung cut in, calmly silencing the tension. "There is no need to be at each other's throats, we have other things to worry about."

"Tae's right, we should go to our hide-out." Jimin said quietly, glancing towards the door.

"Is that a good idea?" Jungkook wondered. "We barely got away with it the first time." Jimin shook his head sighing heavily.

"We need to think about what we are going to do, and we need space and time to actually talk without having to worry about the Hyung's bursting in. At the very least, this time we can hack into our phones." Jimin said, with Taehyung quickly agreeing with him, leaving Jungkook nothing but to sulk but know that the other two were correct. They had a lot to talk about, and a lot to assess, and they needed a good long session to really talk about their future plans, which seemed to be changing a lot, without getting distracted.

"Can we at least prepare a bit before we go this time?" Jungkook asked, leaving the others to nod. He jumped up, snatching his bag and they quickly went about gathering the things that they would need. It had been a long while since they had really managed to set things up at the House, they would need to do some things since they were going this time, and they would need to be better prepared. As such, both Jungkook and Jimin carried a backpack, and Taehyung they had quickly decided would be free of the burden, needing to focus mostly on shielding them from the cameras. Jimin's had the sleeping supplies and clothes. Jungkook had sneaked out the room and into the adjacent bathroom, quiet but quick he had pilfered a small amount of cleaning supplies, and hygenic equipment. He had also ensured that they grabbed some of their hidden stash of snacks. They quickly breathed a quick and calming moment before they went out, sneaking past the Hyungs and their newfound teachers. It was quite a thrill, but also dangerous, and they were also determined and calm. They made they way quite quickly. More so now then when they had first attempted this, but it made sense considering they were more confident, and they knew that the Hyungs were quite busy.

It still did not mean that it was any less exhausting, though, as it was still very tiring, particularly for Taehyung, who had to keep the magic up, else they be exposed. When they did manage to make it to their hideout with a lot less trouble then the times previously, Jimin and Jungkook shucked off the backpacks, and gently lay Taehyung down on the couch, dropping onto it themselves after ensuring that he was actually okay. They stared up at the ceiling, Jungkook jolting up once more, never one to stay still long, pulling open the bag that had the cleaning supplied they had pilfered, and began to make his way across the space about them. Jimin and Taehyung just let him do so, knowing that he would huff if they tried to help him. He was quite particular, especially when cleaning.

Jungkook was also quite extra. Hence why he unplugged every piece of machinery that they had, and reorganized it all to better suit what he wanted. Jimin supposed this was a wise choice considering Jungkook was the one who typically used it, not them. Not that they couldn't they were all pretty decent when they needed to be, Jungkook was just the best, and most comfortable, and therefore they typically just let him do what he wanted. Jimin did, however cut it when he started trying to move the couch himself with them on it.

"Kookie, that's enough, you did good, now come sit down and rest." Jungkook licked his lips nervously but did as Jimin had asked.

"You guys done now?" Taehyung asked, blearily opening his eyes. Jungkook exhaled harshly, dropping his head into Taehyung's lap.

"You are okay." Taehyung laughed, but understood his concern.

"Of course, we have done this before you know, and barring that, we are all better off now, having more regular meals." They could not deny that. Their magic thrummed under their veins much stronger now. It did not, however, mean that they had better control. They were doing good, but that thought brought them to the whole reason that they had decided to come to the hide out in the first place.

"Are we stlll going to try and run?" Jungkook asked his Hyungs.

"I mean, I do not really think that it is a good idea, at least, not anymore." Taehyung admitted. Though he was quite reluctant to do so. "Before, it had been a last chance thing, just in case we needed to, but I think I speak for all of us when I say we have gotten somewhat attached, for whatever reason. Not only that, but even if we wanted to it isn't safe anymore. I mean, it was already not the best option in case they came looking for us, but that was before we realized that they had allies that we had not taken into account."

"Besides that," Jimin cut in. "We don't even know how many allies that they do have."

"Okay, but what about when we age out?" Jungkook wondered, his breath taking a slightly panicked feel to it. "After all, it is not as though we will be minors forever. What happens when we age out and they are no longer responsible for us?"

"I don't know." Jimin said, his shoulders slumping at the realization. "We will have to be on our guard, of course, but besides going through with our training, for now, there is little more that we can do. We already have four different groups that apparently BangTan is allies with and we did not know any of them. It was far too dangerous to be trying to run when we do not know exactly who could be coming to look for us."

"Barring that, we don't really have anywhere we can go." Jungkook muttered.
