Breath hitching, thoughts swirling around in his mind in a mess giving him a headache, he started to feel dizzy.

All the memories flooding his mind made him blind to what was in front of him. The reminiscences of his band members all standing in a line, arms on each others shoulders, dancing the choreography to one of their many songs. Their fandom, ARMY, we're all singing the song's fan-chant with their beautiful voices. Adrenaline rushed up through his veins, making his heart rate speed up.

Hoseok froze.

'Why is this here? Who's is this? Is it a set up?' he thought to himself. Two seconds later and he was brought back to reality. Darkness was enveloping the sky, increasing the risk of being exposed. Running towards the hideout, he worried about the hunters that come out at night and searched. They searched for living, healthy, adult human beings to experiment on. If they see a human, they catch it. It's impossible to out run them. The hunters were 'humans' that worked for the deranged government, not be confused with the normal people that hunt instead of running and hiding. They were thieves, murders, and creatures with no heart, and people like Hoseok and Jin were terrified of them.

Hoseok turned around and started running towards the hideout. The sun was completely gone and Hoseok is now vulnerable. He did not bother throwing away the sweatshirt, instead he wanted to investigate it.

'Could it mean that there are more normal people out there? Do they need our help? Is it a message?' Hoseok thought to himself.

The black-haired boy arrived the hideout and moved the rock out of the way of the door to the staircase and entered.

"Seokjin-hyung! I'm back!"

Hoseok yelled into the hideout. He walked around the area where they would rest and saw his hyung sleeping.

"Hmm, I guess he's tired from all that running."

The young boy went to the area that was mainly used by his donsaengs, the 'gaming' area. It had an old air-hockey table, a few board games, and cards.
He saw three figures under the table playing cards, one blonde, brown, and black haired. The three heads turned towards Hoseok's direction and one of them came out of under the table, running towards his hyung.

"Hyung~! I am so happy you're safe!"

Exclaimed the brown-haired one as he wrapped his arms around the waist of Hoseok tightly.

"Aww~ Tae, don't worry about me so much ok?"

Taehyung, who was still glued onto Hoseok, asked his hyung a question.

"Umm, Hobi-hyung? Can you come with me and help me set up the wagon for everyone for tonight?"

He looked at Hoseok with puppy eyes and there was no way Hoseok would say no.

"Ok, fine~. But just this once, alright?"

Hoseok chuckled as he saw Taehyung run off to the two other boys, Jimin and Jungkook, to continue playing.

What Taehyung meant by asking his hyung to help him, was just asking Hoseok to do it for him. Taehyung was a very energetic and sweet teenager but once in a while he would act quite cheeky.

Hoseok walked to the other side of the station, where the tunnel was blocked off by debris, to the non-functioning train. It was a plain train with only a few seats as the most of them where destroyed. The seven of them either slept on the floor or on the seats. On the floor were a few old mattresses that Jimin found in the storage room of the janitor.

There were a few empty bottles, used clothes, and blankets all over the floor due to the breeze that there is if the doors aren't closed well. The seven boys sleep in the main wagon, where the train driver would pilot the vehicle. The other wagons are used as storage rooms for extra food or nick-nacks.

Hoseok grabbed a rubbish bag and started picking up the bottles that were all over the place and threw them into the bag. They would later on be cleaned and refilled for everyone to drink. Folding the clothes and blankets, he placed one on each mattress. Lastly he grabbed a broom and swept the floor.

As he picked up a grey pullover, he found a Polaroid photo underneath it. The photo was one of Yoongi and Jungkook playing on the piano, smiles plastered on their faces.

"Hm? What's this?" Hoseok thought out loud. He shrugged his shoulders and placed the Polaroid in his back pocket of his jeans.

***

"Hyung? Do you know where Namjoon- and Yoongi-hyung are?"

Asked Jimin, as he popped out of nowhere behind hoseok, startling him.

Hoseok was taken aback by this question. The older boy was sure the two knew that they had to be back before nightfall. He paused and realized, he hasn't seen them since yesterday.
