Taehyung kicked his feet in boredom as he sat on the wooden bench at the old deserted park. It wasn't exactly deserted, but it wasn't in good condition and parents didn't want to take their children there. It was mostly a place where teenagers did sneaky stuff.

The park was surrounded by woods, making it have a gloomy feel when it became darker. Taehyung was actually a little worried he was being stood up by Yoongi since he's been there for a little more than an hour. Taehyung was also scared that since the sun was setting that all the druggies and people up to no good would start to come out. Taehyung was getting a little scared.

Taehyung waited a few more minutes until he heard some laughter from the woods behind him. He twisted around and stared at the forest in fear as two figures came out.

It was two guys, both of them smoking something. Taehyung's fears were coming a reality and he didn't know what to do. Maybe they were nice druggies?

"Hey, look!" Once pointed at Tae. He looked older, maybe in his thirties. The younger one turned and was with met Taehyung's fearful eyes. He smiled.

"Bro, it's a homo!"

The guys start to laugh and Taehyung shrinks. He was waiting for them to take out a knife and stab him. Maybe something worse.

They started taking steps closer, and Taehyung was now fully scared. The same feeling from when his dad was approaching him surfaced and he started to cry.

The two guys laughed when they noticed. Taehyung was frozen when they got closer, but luckily a loud voice made them run off.

"Fuck off, dipshits!" Someone yelled from behind, making Taehyung jump and freeze into place again. He was scared to look back and see who else came.

"Taehyung."

Suddenly leather was in his face. He looked up at Yoongi who raised an eyebrow at him, "Why are you crying? Did they do something?"

Taehyung shook his head a sniffled, wiping his eyes, "N-no. I was just really scared."

"Why? They weren't gunna kill you."

"How do you know?"

"Because they are always around here. I call them dumb and dumber," Yoongi says, "the most harm they do is accidentally insulting you."

Taehyung calmed his breathing down, "Why were they getting closer?"

"I don't know. Maybe because you looked scared."

Taehyung sighed and sniffled again, "Well, thank you for making them back off."

"Mhm."

The two sat on the bench in silence for a minute.

"Why were you late?" Taehyung asks, playing with his fingers.

Yoongi sighed, "Had to buy me more smokes."

"For an hour?"

Yoongi cleared his throat, "There was a long line."

Taehyung sighed at his lie. He turned his body to face Yoongi, "So, are you ready to open up?"

"No."

"Okay," Taehyung carefully says, "how about I open up first? Then maybe it will help you."

"Whatever."

Taehyung nodded and started to speak, "So, the reason I was shot wasn't what you think," Tae says, making Yoongi glance up in curiosity, "it was actually my father that shot me. I...I...Umm...he—"
