NAMJOON

Namjoon closed the laptop at almost ten when everyone else was watching a movie in the living room. Everything had settled in the house yet every thought in Namjoon's brain was moving so fast. He was getting more ideas for what he wanted to do producing wise but no idea how to get them down. He had lyrics and melodies but no way to put them together. 

"Joon? Hey why don't you come sit and watch a movie with us?" Jin asked as he had walked into the kitchen to get more popcorn for Taehyung and Jimin. Namjoon had his head in his arms on the island counter. He looked up at Jin. 

"Why can't we run away Jin? All of us? Just going and not coming back?" Jin chuckled at Namjoon's suggestion, pretending he hadn't thought the thought many times on his own before. 

"It's not really possible. We have lives here. You have a job, Jimin has a school, I have the house" Just then, Jungkook walked in with an empty cup. 

"What do you think Jungkook? Don't you think we should run" Namjoon said, watching the younger as he walked to get a drink from the fridge. The question caught the boy off guard which made him pause for a moment before gathering his senses and thoughts quickly.

"I think it'd be great. I also think we need to talk to Taehyung" he said the last sentance quieter. The two both stopped what they were doing and looked at the young boy who poured himself cola, thinking 'of shit, what'd i do that for'. 

"What do you mean talk to Taehyung? Is he okay?" Namjoon asked, instantly concerned and worried for his friend.

"Would you like me to call them in here?" 

"Is it important?"

"Kinda. I need to talk to Taehyung first"

"I heard my name?" Taehyung said, casually strolling into the kitchen with an empty bag of marshmallows in his hand. He walked over to the bin, looking over his shoulder as he waited for a response.

"Taehyung. Namjoon asked me if we should run away. I think you should tell him" 

"I- I don't want to" This definately caught him off guard. 

"Come on Tae. They're just like me. We love you and care for you. I promise you Jin and Namjoon would never hate you. Neither would Jimin, Yoongi or Hoseok. You just gotta tell them what happened" Jungkook said, placing his drink on the side and walking over to the boy.

"Hey! We're still here you know" Jin said, feeling a little disrespected as Jungkook spoke about them as if they weren't there. Jungkook signalled for them to wait to which Jin scoffed and leaned back against the counter, his arms crossed againt his chest. 

"I can't, please don't Jungkook" Taehyung said. He was defenseless but little did he know he needed it. 

"It'll eat you alive. I'm right here if it goes wrong. That's a big if, they love you, I love you. We'll protect you" Taehyung closed his eyes. He was convinced surely. He just nodded. Jungkook nodded back and went to call for the others. He couldn't look at Jin or Namjoon. Or anyone else when the entered.

"Please Taehyung tell us" Jin said softly when everyone was situated.

"I- I'm on the run. My step-father he killed my mom. He beat my sister and I- I stabbed him. He might be dead. I understand that I'm a terrible person and one day I'll have to be locked away but now I just wanted to be happy. I dragged you all into this and I'm so sorry for that. You're all amazing people who have brought so much into my life and you don't deserve a criminal. That's why I tried to run again yesterday. They're searching Seoul now even though I came all the way from Daegu. I suppose I deserve it. I just wanted to go before they drag you guys into this" the group were shocked. It was expected. But it didn't really change them.

"I tried to set a car on fire that belonged to my father. My father is probably having people look for me right now but I'm not leaving any of you. You're my family. We are a family" 

"I robbed a store with one of my old friends and he got arrested. I managed to slip away but I belong in prison too"

"So we're a bunch of deliquents? We still deserve lives. Taehyung, you were protecting your sister. You're not a bad person. Namjoon, you were angry at your father which is expected after what happened. You're not a bad person. Yoongi, Jimin has told me about your life and you were trying to help your family. You're not a bad person. You know I think, as juvinile as it sounds, we should run. All we have is each other" Jin spoke up. Everyone agreed reluctantly. 

"What about your house?"

"Two choices. Sell it or burn it to the ground" he said deviously, walking to the pantry. There were a few beeps and a click before Jin returned with a dufflebag.

"This is has one hundred million won in it. I think it's safe to say we burn this place down and get the fuck out of here"

"Who are you and what have you done with Kim Seokjin?" Hoseok chuckles, patting the olders back. 

"I am the real Kim Seokjin" his smile was devious. 

Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung and Jin loaded up the car which the others covered the house in the gasoline they'd gotten from the garage. Jin drove his seven seated suv to the backyard. They would drive through the back field to the main road that lead either out of the city or to Jimin's neighbourhood. They would go to Jimin's house first. He'd tell them he was going to school abroad with Jungkook and Jin which they'd disagree too but Jimin would sweet talk the hell out of them and bam, he'd be let off. 

The gasoline started out of the back door. It was two am when everything was ready. Namjoon struck the match and yelled.

"To our new life as bulletproof!" he said before dropping the match and running to the car. Jin had taken off the number plates before as the neighbours had CCTV. They'd fix them back on when they got to Jimin's which was ten seconds away. 

They drove away, Jin watched his childhood burn in the mirror of the car. It hurt yet it felt so good.

"bye mom, bye dad"
