° Don't Worry きけんな°

quattro : 160127

Trying to prevent his mind filling with negative thoughts, Hoseok did not hesitate to run over to where the oldest member was sleeping.

Bursting the door open, Seokjin twitched his eyebrows, slowly waking up.

"Hyung! Hyung!"

Hoseok cried as he shook Seokjin's shoulders violently.

"What is it? Why are you so--,"

"Yoongi-hyung, Namjoon-hyung, they're missing!"

Hoseok interrupted.

"Wait a minute. Slow down and breathe. What do you mean they're missing?"

"They're not here, hyung. I've searched everywhere and it's already dark outside,"

Hoseok explained in a frustrated tone. He was extremely worried and had no idea what to do.

"Well, you may not know this but a few years ago we put chips in everyone's watches or rings which we can track if a situation like this ever happens. Now, I need you to go to the wagon with all the electronics and boot up the computer, can you do that?"

Spoke Seokjin, calming the shaking boy in front of him.

Hoseok immediately ran out of the room to the wagon, meanwhile Seokjin stood up and walked over to an old painting. Behind it there a small, iron safe, which held valuable objects like money, maps, USBs, and even an old phone. He removed the painting off the wall and grabbed the key that was in his jeans and insterted it into the keyhole. Twisting the key, it opened the lock with a click and the door popped open. Seokjin stuck his hand in the safe, rummaging through papers and money looking for one specific USB that was programmed with various key softwares which are can be used to track chips.

"Tch, where is that darn thing?"

After searching for almost ten solid minuets, Seokjin closed the safe, making sure to lock it securely and placed the painting back on the wall. He ruffled his hair in a frustrated manner, as he could not find one of the most valuable objects they had.

On the other side of the hideout, Hoseok was scrabbling about in cables, untying them, plugging them in, all just to get the old dusty computer screen to light up.

After trying to untie a long thin green cable, the boy lost his patience and they the bundle on the floor. He rubbed his eyes tiredly with the palms of his hands. Sighing, he stood up from off of the floor and walked to the wall of the train. Hoseok placed his arms on the cold metal and lowered his head, steadying his thoughts. Turning his head he saw, in the corner of his eye, a small object on top of a box.

Hoseok squinted his eyes to figure out what it was. Walking towards it he soon realised that it was a CD in a box. Picking it up he saw that it was labelled 160127.

Still looking at the CD, he paced around the small space he had and stopped in front of an old Walkman. Hoseok opened the the device and carefully stuck the CD in. Before the disk started playing, he fished out the earphones he used earlier out of his pocket and attached them to the Walkman.

For the first three minutes, all that came out of the Walkman were recordings of conversations of people and thirty seconds of music. The people's voices sounded weirdly familiar to Hoseok but he continued to listen and ignored the unnecessary thoughts clouding his mind.

Suddenly an uncomfortable sound interrupted a song and everything was silent. Hoseok was confused and opened the machine to see if the disk was turning.

After checking if everything was in its place, a disguised voice spoke.

"Well well well. It's been a long time hasn't it, don't you think? I'm sure you're bewildered right now but you need to know that you've been located, I know exactly where you are. Want me to prove it? You're hiding in a metro station across the river. No more hiding, I'm coming after you, Jay."

As the voice spoke, TV's that were underneath messing wires lit up and the light of the wagon turned off, scaring Hoseok even more.

Hoseok instantly knew who was talking to him, that last word proved it but for now he had to focus on evacuating the hideout in no longer than 3 hours. Being the smart boy he is, he looked at the number written on the box and de-coded it. '160127' was the 27th of January, the next day.

The situation that he had been avoiding these past few months has come.
