The two boys stared at the screen, unmoving.
"I-I have to answer it. I don't know what might happen if I don't..." Despite his own words, Jeongguk couldn't bring himself to press the green accept button.
Acting quickly, Jimin grabbed the phone from Jeongguk's grasp. He held the phone for a second, seeming to be in thought before swiftly pressing the accept button.
"Hello."
Jeongguk could roughly make out the gruff voice on the other end of the phone. He intently listened while nervously messing with his fingers.
"Jeongguk?"
"No, actually."
"Well put him on the phone then."
"I'm Jimin, Jeongguk's boyfriend." Jeongguk looked wide eyed at Jimin, silently begging him to stop.
"Oh? Is that so? I thought he broke up with you like I told him to."
"He did, but that doesn't matter. You can't tell Jeongguk what to do anymore. Don't call again. Bye." Jimin slammed the 'end call' button, leaving Jeongguk in shock.
Jeongguk was grabbing for his phone, intending to call his father back to try and stop the inevitable storm.
"Jeongguk. He can't hurt you, not while I'm here."
Jeongguk looked down at his hands nervously before looking Jimin directly in the eyes.
"He knows where I live Jimin. How can I avoid that? He'll come here and-and-"
"Move in with me."
Jeongguk looked up in shock.
"W-what?"
Jimin took Jeongguk's hands in his own.
"I said, move in with me. He doesn't know where I live." Jimin smiles smugly at Jeongguk, who looked so small when faced with the thought of disobeying his dad.
Jimin caresses Jeongguk's cheek softly. Jeongguk looks to the side sadly.
"He'll find me...he always finds me. When I tried to run away when I was fifteen because of the way he nearly killed my brother he found me within a few hours. When I tried again at seventeen it ended the same way. I can't run."
Jimin thumbed away the tears that dripped from Jeongguk's eyes.
"Then it'll at least buy us some time. Come on, grab a bag of clothes for a little while. I have a plan."
As Jeongguk put his bag together Jimin took out his phone.

Jeongguk leaves his bedroom, his duffel bag hanging off of his shoulder. He looks at Jimin with worry in his eyes.
"I can really just stay here Jiminie, he'll find us eventually and I don't want you to get hurt-"
Jimin walked up and encased Jeongguk in a tight hug.
"Look at me. If you stay here he'll find you quicker, I'm just giving you some time. We'll figure things out together, alright?"
Jeongguk nodded and headed for the door, Jimin following close behind.
Jimin drove to his apartment, explaining the plan to Jeongguk. According to him it could buy them a week.
"Just know that I'll protect you, Gukkie." Jimin placed his hand on Jeongguk's in the passenger seat.
"I just don't want you to get hurt. You're so important to me." Jimin nodded in agreement.
"I feel the same. Which is why I'll protect you." Jeongguk sighed at Jimin's response, just wanting to protect him completely from whatever dangers his father will bring.
"Then we'll protect each other."
Jeongguk squeezed Jimin's hand as they pulled into his apartment's parking lot.
The scent of strawberries and vanilla engulfed Jeongguk's nostrils and brought extreme comfort to him.
Jimin called from the kitchen, "You turned off your location, right?"
Jeongguk gulped.
"Shit."
