002

Once Hoseok took a step out of the boy's restroom, practically hiding behind the Namjoon, he felt a wave of regret wash over him. He, Jung Hoseok– a seventeen year old male that has never once in his life done anything to defy his parents, was only a few minutes away from ditching school. Fortunately, he was forcefully pulled away from those thoughts as the mint-haired boy grabbed his hand.

"On the count of three I want you to hold onto my hand as tight as you can, and follow me. Alright? That means run when I run, walk when I walk, crawl when I crawl. Got it?"

Hoseok frantically nodded his head, avoiding eye contact with the other in front of him due to the redness that had started to spread across his face. He had never held hands with another male before unless he counted the times he would hold his father's hand to cross the street. Hardly anyone knew that Hoseok came out as bisexual to his parents last year. He didn't have many friends, so those who knew included his parents and two of his old friends that he didn't talk to anymore.

The feeling of his hand held tightly in the embrace of the older male's warm, strong one was quite nice, and Hoseok wouldn't mind keeping a hold on the strange boy's hand for the rest of his life.

"The name's Suga by the way, and that's Namjoon." Suga pointed to Namjoon as he finally revealed their names although Hoseok wondered if 'Suga' was his actual name. Suddenly, once again being pulled away from his thoughts, Hoseok was literally pulled by Suga and hurriedly dragged out of the restroom door without any count of three which surprised him.

The three made their way stealthily around the school, following Namjoon as he knew every inch, corner and backdoor of the building. Eventually reaching an unfamiliar door in the back of the cafeteria kitchen after fifteen minutes of dodging and avoiding administrators, they were just barely outside when Namjoon got the most "brilliant" idea of grabbing a few things before going to meet the others. Suga agreed that would be the best option, letting go of Hoseok's hand after explaining to him what to grab and what not to grab.

Hoseok immediately panicked as soon as the mint-haired teen loosened let go of his hand. Why would they want to steal school cafeteria snacks? Stealing was never the answer. According to Namjoon, they were going to meet four other guys. Surely they would have some type of currency among the six of them, right?

"I think I'll just let the two of you do your thing; I'll keep watch." Hoseok spoke in a shaky voice before heading to stay close to the entrance of the cafeteria kitchen, peeking out every now and then. A couple of minutes had passed by, and he continued his duty as a watch guard, waiting for the others to finish their raid of the kitchen. Namjoon called for the watch guard, asking him to take one last peek out the door before they headed out. One last peek out the door resulted in Hoseok making eye contact with a familiar horridly dressed lunch lady, and he quickly slammed the door shut.

"We have to get out of here now!"
Hoseok alerted the others, taking bags filled with food as Suga held open the backdoor for both him and Namjoon. Rushing out the exit, they could hear the familiar sound of the kitchen door being slammed open. Suga took one of the two bags Hoseok held in order to lighten the weight as they sprinted away from the school.

Although Hoseok had no idea where they were going, he ran as fast as he could behind Namjoon, crashing into him when the older boy came to a stop. They were in front of a car which had seemed to hold one other person. Hoseok panted heavily as he followed Namjoon's order to put the bags in the trunk. He really wasn't up for meeting another potential troublemaker, but he agreed to do this.

After Suga and Namjoon slid into the driver and passenger seats, he cautiously hopped into the back, noticing the boy was asleep. He looked quite peaceful as the drool falling from his mouth pooled onto the pillow his head lied on. The sleeping boy had dark brown hair that being normal compared to Namjoon's pink and Suga's mint. He took a guess that the boy couldn't be any older than fifteen or sixteen considering the baby face he still held, but his body was built as if he'd been working out for years.

Hoseok stayed quiet the entirety of the ride, slowly falling into slumber after the two older teens plugged an aux cord in. Though he was nervous and afraid back at the cafeteria, Hoseok felt a rush of excitement when running away from the poorly dressed lunch lady, and he knew that deep down he didn't want that feeling to wash away.

A/N: YiKes I'm really bad at writing action, so excuse me though I had fun writing this! It's a bit rushed in my opinion, but I don't want to write three boring filler chapters. This kind of seems like a filler, but I swear it's not (winkwonk) Hope you enjoyed my cringe~
