On a chilly evening, the streets bustled with people as a young boy in a grey coat and black cap strolled past a snack shop. Pausing, he carefully looked at his surroundings, finding no sign of anyone near the shop.

His gaze fell upon two packets of cake rolls displayed before him. His eyes gleamed with hope, having gone without food for four days, he suffered.

As he reached out to grab the packets, the owner emerged and inquired, "Sir, would you like to purchase these?" The boy in the grey coat became still, beads of sweat forming on his brow, arousing suspicion in the owner's mind.

"Sir, are you gonna make a purchase, or… might you be trying to steal?" the owner queried once more, causing the boy in the grey coat to step back a bit, he was scared.

"Are you here to steal?" the owner repeated, growing more concerned. "I shall contact the cop," he declared, reaching for his phone. However, upon turning back, the boy in the grey coat had vanished into thin air.

"Where has he disappeared to?" He proceeded to search, and that's when his gaze landed on the counter, where two packets of cake rolls were missing.

It's unpleasant to witness this kind of behaviour in today's youth. How could they resort to theft? I need to…" he murmurs and rants as he makes his way back into his shop.

Meanwhile, in a distant alleyway, the sound of heavy breathing echoed. A figure emerged, panting as he brushed off his grey coat. "Did you get something?" a voice called out.

"Yes, I have got two packs of cake rolls," he confirmed.

"Excellent! Let's eat!" exclaimed the individual with golden-brown hair, his small ears peeking up as it twitched.

Following their meal, a faint rumble emanated from the stomach of the grey-coated young man. "Are you still hungry?" inquired the golden-brown-haired boy, his tone filled with concern.

"I am… but it's alright. We can get something later," The grey-coated boy replied.

Silence ran for a few moments with only the night sky screaming the busy city. 

"Joon…" The boy in the grey coat looked up and responded, "Yes?

"Was it worth fleeing from the discipline centre?

After a brief pause, Joon replied with assurance, "Yes, I believe it is worth it.

"But... how will we manage without any food, clothes and… shelter?

"Hyung, do not fret. I am determined to do whatever it takes for our survival," Joon reassured as he embraced Jin. 

"I hope so," Jin replied, burying his face in Joon's embrace.
