Always You

Out Of It

  the male hides out in the bathroom for around ten minutes. more or less. he sits on the tile floor of the public bathroom. his head rests on his left hand as he does so. taehyung wishes he brought his phone with him. he hasn't turned it on in weeks though. either way, he could've gotten directions using it. taehyung lifts his head from his hand. using his right hand, he rests it over his eye, trying to force away tears that he feels forming. jungkook and hoseok appear. jungkook reaches down towards taehyung, grabbing his wrist and pulling him up. 'c'mon, we're leaving.' 'what? why?' taehyung asks, confused as to why they decided to barge in. 'this place is boring, might as well leave. we already paid.' hoseok answers, spinning around and pushing the door open. jungkook pulls taehyung through the door. together, all three leave, heading towards some unknown destination. taehyung digs his nails into the palms of his hands. he doesn't know how much more of this he can take. after constant redirecting from jungkook and hoseok, they arrive. it's just a fucking park. why did they go through all that trouble, just to come to a boring place like this? 'it's not much, i know, but jungkook really loves coming to this place. he says it's really helpful when you're feeling down. just...trust him.' hoseok places a hand on the disinterested male's shoulder, trying to comfort him. if it's anything that jungkook thinks is important, then it probably isn't actually. said male runs by and snatches taehyung's hand, quickly pulling him towards the aged playground. jungkook runs up onto the structure, ushering for the other two to follow. hoseok climbs on as well. the remaining male stayed where he was. jungkook decides to lean over the railing of the bridge connecting two sperate pieces of the playground, his face only a few inches away from taehyung's. 'hurry and come to play with us! we came here just for you!' the upside down male shouts enthusiastically. he looks quite ridiculous. his dark brown hair dangles from his head in odd angles, not to mention the fact that taehyung had never been this close to him other than when the male had been held hostage by jungkook. 'you're going to take me home, right?' 'yes of course.' 'promise me, if i go along with whatever stupid thing you plan, you'll be sure to take me back home unharmed.' jungkook grins down at taehyung. 'i promise.' taehyung nods absently.
