"They're gone, come on." Hoseok said quickly walking outside after coming back. I quickly followed him and got inside the car.

"How am I gonna stop them from following me?" I asked as I put on my seat belt.

"I don't know. They just come and go." He answered as he began driving. I leaned back and stared at the window.

"It's all your fault, Hoseok. Why'd you bring me into this?"

"My fault? Um, I wasn't the one who got you in a fight. You did that to yourself,"

"They started it!" I argued back. Now I sounded like a four year old. "Why did we even run away from the cops? It's not like we did anything wrong."

"Well, I was running away from the cops. I just tagged you along because I saw you and your dumbass standing there like you were waiting for them to catch your ass and bring you to jail. I saved your ass actually. Be grateful."

I sealed my mouth shut, not knowing what to say. "Did you commit some crime or something?" I asked looking at him. He shrugged.

"I kinda beat the crap out of many cops when they wouldn't listen to me. It's not really a crime. I didn't kill anyone."

"Are the police looking for you?" I asked.

"I don't know, I don't care,"

"Why did you beat them up?" I asked out of curiosity. There was a moment of silence before he finally answered.

"Why do you wanna know?" He asked and I looked at him while fidgeting with my fingers. I was quietly regretting the question I asked, because the air was slowly getting darker.

"Sorry, I didn't-,"

"I beat them up cause they wouldn't listen to me." He answered, "Where do you live? I'll drop you off."

I told him my address and we drove in silence. Listen to him about what?

"Thank you for saving my butt twice." I told him when we got to my place. "If you need anything you have my number."

I unbuckled my seatbelt and he unlocked the door.

"Hey,"

I turned to look at him. "Could you help me out a bit? I know this is a very big thing to ask, but can you help me find my parents?"

"What?"

"My parents went missing, and I was wondering if you would, you know, tag along?" he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Would you be my partner in crime?"

"And what will bringing me do?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Just to be there with me," he said. "I kinda need you."

I stared at him. I just moved and I need to unpack everything in my room. But, going on an adventure with Hoseok would be more fun than unpacking... But I just met Hoseok last night and going somewhere with a stranger is something else. But then again, you only live once, so take your own risks. It'll be fun, who knows what'll happen on the way. My subconscious told me.

"Fine, I'll do it."
