"wake up taetae." Jimin pats taehyung's shoulder . 

"where are we? It's morning already?" Taehyung yawns , waking up from his sleep . It was more than 4 hour drive to their destination so taehyung fell asleep on jimin's lap in the cab . 

"my hometown Busan. There's no one here anymore but they didn't wanna sell the house cause there's just too many memories of our family here . We came back once in a while to cleans it so the house are practically comfortable to stay ." Jimin explained . 

"don't you have class today jiminnie?" 

"well i got my priorities." Jimin smiles , pulling taehyung's arms to get into the house . "But there are one problem though . You know i'm studying right? So i cannot stay with you taetae ." 

"This is enough jiminnie . More than enough already . Thank you ." Taehyung smiles , grateful for having jimin in his life . 

"I'll let jungkook and jhope knows about this location . They'll come too when i'm busy okay?" 

Taehyung nods . 

"You take care okay? I can't live without you taetae . If you're affected , i'll suffer too , know that." 

Taehyung plops down on the couch . "okay jiminnie . Now go before the cab left you . I'll check the house out later . So tired , gonna sleep first." 

Jimin pats taehyung's head . "I'll get going first okay? Sleep well my baby." 

Taehyung waves towards jimin and slowly the tiredness consumes him fully , dragging him to the dreamland . 

Somewhere ... (in the evening) 

Taehyung finally wakes up and rubs his eyes , looking around only to realise that he is not in jimin's hometown anymore . 

"you're finally awake huh?" 

Startled by the deep voice , taehyung turns towards the voice . "who- who are you? An- and where .. am i?" 

Kim Namjoon smiles and sits besides taehyung on the couch . "I am Namjoon , nice to meet you." He extends his hands to taehyung . 

Taehyung nervously shakes his hand with the stranger named Namjoon . "I'm taehyung uh whe-where am i?" 

"Basement." Namjoon leans back and sits comfortably besides taehyung , acting innocent in front of the guy . 

"uh.. why am i here?" 

"i cannot tell you that . But um are you hungry taehyung? I'm starving , lets eat hm?" Namjoon asks while taking a takeaway plastics on the desk nearby . "tadaa its shushi , do you like sushi?" 

"Are you um my family's killer?" Taehyung asks , fidgeting with his fingers .

Namjoon stops doing whatever he's been doing and looks at taehyung in the eye . "Me? Do i look like one?" 

"I .. i don't know .." Taehyung says . 

"I'm here to protect you taehyung-ah . Your family's under attack , they are the one that hires me to hide you here ." Namjoon says , lying to taehyung . 

"then you know where's my family? My father and mother?" Taehyung asks . 

"That , i don't know . They hired me in case things like this happened, my job is to solely protect you ." Namjoon continues . "so now are we good for sushi?" 

Taehyung shakes his head , in no mood to eat . But his stomach says otherwise, grumbling loud enough that the person besides him can hears it . 

"Don't be stubborn , you need the energy. Now say aaah" Namjoon chuckles, feeding taehyung unagi . "delicious?"
