A tiny bell rung from above while Jimin stepped past the doorframe, then quietly began to make his way down the familiar narrow pathway toward Abyss Karaoke's lobby. The establishment was much quieter during the day, and seeing as there was no one behind the front bar upon arrival, he figured the place was currently closed.


He let out a low sigh, loitered around the lobby for a bit, by one of the bar stools and looked over the vacant halls around him. He hopped upon the closest stool beside him and waited, until eventually the sound of footsteps grasped his attention. Seconds later, Yerin appeared from the other side of the wall, with a familiar man following behind her.


"Oh—! Jimin!" The girl perked up at the sight of her friend, then made a skipping movement to approach him. "What are you doing here? You looking for Hoseokie?"


The blond's eyes widened and he quickly shook his head to the side. "Ah, n-no, I was.. looking for Jeongguk.." He quickly spoke up, finally meeting her eyes. "I couldn't reach him, so.. I figured I'd ask around here. There's a gang meeting soon, right?"


"Yes there is." The man who stood beside Yerin finally spoke up, and Jimin's eyes narrowed in focus, recognizing his face.


"Ah, you're-... Hiro. The guy from—"


"Namida, yes. Glad you remember my name." He gave a chuckle and bowed his head slightly. "I'll be representing my gang again at today's meeting, which..." Hiro gave a tap at the woman's shoulder. "Need I remind you we need to go set up for, Yerin-ssi?"


"Yes, yes! We can go now."


Jimin blinked, then watched as the two already started down the hall.


"See you later, Jiminie~ Say hi to Ggukie for me when you see him!" Yerin called out with a wave of her hand. The blond's lips lifted to a smile before he heard yet another array of footsteps begin to descend from the opposite hall. He swiveled his body over the stool to turn behind him, and saw a tall man walk in, unlit cigarette in hand, and long wavy dark hair cascading down his eyes.


Jimin's brows rose in surprise, and the man matched his expression while coming to a full stop.


"Well if it isn't my favorite bowling buddy~" A large mischievous grin formed across Jimin's face.


Taehyung cracked an amused smirk, reached to prop his cigarette beside his head, tucked behind his ear. "Mmn? I'm your favorite now? What happened to poor little Jeonggukie..? Y'know. Your bestie?"


"Hm, well victory with Jeongguk isn't always guaranteed, so.." The blond gave a shrug, then lifted to cross one leg sassily over the other. The older man gave out a hefty chuckle while walking closer to stand beside the boy. "Speaking of which, have you seen Gguk? I thought he'd be here with you."
