large brick building loomed in front of the rather small Park Jimin. The combat office located within the capital's inner circle was a foreign place for the real estate agent. Jimin has never had a reason to visit the combat unit before, despite Ho-jin and Jungkook being stationed there. But today wasn't a typical day for the short male, he had a job to do and no idea how to find Ho-jin's twin brother. Which is why he hopes to find Ho-jin himself.

"Note to self, never come back to visit. This place makes my heart jerk," Jimin nervously muttered to himself to gather enough courage to open the glass door in front of him. His nervous kept him from caring about the fact that the doors are glass and anyone inside could probably see him through them. 

After taking one last deep breath Jimin pushed hard on the door only to be met with resistence. The door didn't budge at all. He pushed again with more strength than before but it still wouldn't open for him. 

"Please don't tell me..." Jimin breathed out as he gripped the door handle again. Instead of pushing the door like before, Jimin decided to pull it towards him. The result left his ears a burning red when he was met with a Jungkook who was trying very hard not to laugh at Jimin's door struggle. The short male just coughed to regain composure before he strutted towards his so called friend. 

"What's up Jungkook, when did you get discharged?" Jimin leaned himself against the wall across from his friend in attempt to play off his embarresment. Jungkook instantly burst into a loud laughter that caused him to double over before returning back to his senses. 

"What brings you here shorty?" Jungkook giggles at the scoff thrown his way. Blatantly ignoring the shorter male's scolding glare at his own bunny tooth smiling face.

"I asked you a question first! But since you are probably my best bet in shortening my search," Jimin let out a soft sigh. "I'm looking for Ho-jin."

"Ah I think he's in the back with Yoongi. He lost in rock paper scissors with another unit and as a penality he was out in charge of giving a tour to the newbies," Jungkook chuckled at the memory of rock paper scissors match that took place hours prior.

It took a moment for Jimin to fully process Jungkook's entire sentence, seeing as he was occupied with the delight that Ho-jin was in the building.

The sudden realization that Yoongi was also here made his head spin. He quickly rolled his sleeve up, nearly scratching his own arm in the process, to check the time clicking on his watch. Despite the lack of accurate time that was associated with the capital, the real estate division was issued watches to set alarms and keep track of time.

Jimin didn't use it much other than to quickly peek at the time, but he did have two alarms that he set daily. The start and end time of the farm workers. Only one of those alarms had gone off signifying that Yoongi should be in the underground farm sweating away.

"Why is Yoongi here, isn't he supposed to be on the farm? I know I just got back today, but I don't think I heard anything about them getting the day off..." Jimin's rambling halted when he saw the guilty look swimming in the younger male's eyes.

"Well about that," the younger ran his left hand through his raven locks. "He uh... Hold up! You have some explaining to do yourself mister!"

"Don't change the subject buckle!" Jimin growled back to hide his growing nerves. He thought Jungkook had forgotten all about Jin, Taehyung, and himself all disappearing for a few days without further explanation other than the note they left in Jungkook's hospital room.
