I can't sleep because it haunts me. Who I will never be.

-

Taehyung's eyes are glossy as he looks at the dreadfully asleep man, feeling his slow pulse give him slight relief but still major concern as he runs his fingers through the brunette's tangled locks, exposing dark purple eye bags under his drooping eyelids.

"Hoseok what the fuck." Taehyung whisper yells to himself, resting his hands on the man's pale cheeks.

"Taehyung, is he alive?" Jungkook asks as he kneels down beside the redhead, noticing a small tear falls down his tanned cheek. He wipes the tear off Taehyung's face , looking at him with a concerned look.

"Y-yeah he is.. he just passed out." Taehyung responds, using all his strength to sit the sleeping man up. "He's probably gonna freak out if he wakes up in the house... so we should just move him onto the grass."

"How do you know this exactly?" Jungkook asks, helping pull the man up and slinging him around his shoulders.

"I knew him once." Taehyung replies, taking the handle of the suitcase. "He has insomnia. Just passed out from lack of sleep."

Jungkook decides not to question the older any longer, hauling the brunette over his shoulders as he walks back to where Jimin is sitting confused. He sets the man down on the ground, Jimin watching the sleeping figure with slight curiosity as his thin bangs fall over his eyes.

The 'mysterious man' lays almost lifelessly on the ground, distress apparent on his drained features. Countless nail marks are engraved into the subtle skin on his arms, as if counting something. He stirs a bit in his sleep, startling Jimin as Taehyung lays beside the man.

"Taehyung-ah?" Jungkook whispers, watching the redhead wrap his arm around the sleeping man, his movements calming slightly.

"I used to do this when he had to sleep really bad. He usually had a pillow, but it didn't work as well." Taehyung explains quietly.

Jungkook feels a slight ping in his heart, immediately looking away from the scene. He guesses that seeing your only close friend holding a stranger in his arms would make you feel a bit betrayed, but brushes it off anyway.

Taehyung watches carefully as the man's eyes open slowly, his breathing becoming more rapid as he awakens causing the redhead to immediately pull him closer. "Hobi calm down, calm... calm.. breathe in and out, in and out. Slowly."

Hoseok's eyes shut closed as he breathes deeply, following Taehyung's directions before he opens his eyes up again. "T-Tae!"

Taehyung muffles Hoseok's head into his chest, dramatically pouting as he runs his hands through the suffocating man's hair and kisses his head repeatedly. "I missed you baby you left me and disappeared and I was scared and concerned for you and I-"

"Ok now you're the one who has to calm down!" Hoseok insists, pulling his head out from the crook of the redhead's neck. A heart-shaped smile comes onto his face, feeling more at home in this expression than the previously solemn one.

"Hobiiiiiii~" Taehyung whines, making a fake crying expression as he hits the brunette's chest. "I missed youuuuu."

Jungkook coughs, making eye contact with Hoseok who smiles at the pissed off blonde. "Am I missing something or?"

"Jungkookie, this bitch left me in my apartment to have to deal with an eviction on my own!" Taehyung says defensively as his expression turns stark, sitting up with his eyebrows furrowed angrily.

JUNG HOSEOK
Taehyung's roommate and only friend for many years after he was kicked out, letting him live in his run down apartment. Taehyung got used to the insomniac's habits and helped him with it, and Hoseok helped Taehyung control his outbreaks as well. Just not realizing that this routine would end up leading to an eviction that would put him on the streets for god knows how long. Hoseok left and found another complex the night before, promising he would pay eventually. He never did, so here we are. What a lucky coincidence.

"Can I kill him?" Jungkook asks, pulling a steak knife from the side of his shoe. He's angry, very angry, that someone would leave his Taehyung all alone with his mental state to deal with something like that.

Hoseok screeches and crawls away from the violent kid with the knife, going so far back that he accidentally bumps into Jimin.

"Oh sorry! That guy's sca-" Hoseok trails off mid sentence as he looks at the ravenette, his eyes widening at the boy's sunken in cheeks and eyes, his whole appearance resembling a skeleton. Which, he definitely isn't used to.

"Damn I must be really scary." Jimin speaks, his gentle voice somewhat a relief.

"Wait... Tae? Are these people?" Hoseok asks, not really asking a specific thing but Taehyung seems to understand, pulling a smile onto his features as he holds Jungkook back.

"Like us? Yes." Taehyung replies, slapping Jungkook's arm to smack some sense into him. "The kiddo who's trying to attack you is Jealous Bitch Jungkook, and the small cute one who has had a disease take over his precious life is Jimin."

"O-oh... um.. are you mad at me? For.. leaving?" Hoseok asks, scratching the back of his head slightly.

"For fucks sake Hoseok, yes I am, duh. Not angry enough to leave you to rot in the forest though." Taehyung replies, standing up and brushing his pants off. "Wait..."

Taehyung pauses for a second, the three boys staring at him in anticipation.

"Do you, by any chance, know someone to stay with?" Taehyung asks, both Jungkook and Jimin catching on to where he's going. They had all agreed that the house in the woods is extremely unsanitary and they'd be found eventually if they were to stay in there. "I mean, with insomnia you'd always go out with 'friends' to entertain yourself. You used to bring a lot of people home."

"Uh... well actually, back when I was getting into music and stuff I made a friend with a guy who wanted to be a rapper. He said that if I ever needed a place to stay, just message him. I'm pretty sure his name was... uh.. Youn.. Yoo-"

"Yoongi?" Jimin interrupts, his eyes lighting up for once with a newfound hope.

"Yeah! Min Yoongi, you know him?" Hoseok asks, turning to look at the lithe boy who is almost too terrifying for him to gaze at for more than three seconds.

"I do, we.. got along, in high school." Jimin replies, looking down at his blueish nails.

Hoseok nods, pulling his phone out from his pocket. The four boys pull the address up on maps, finding that the walk would probably take a whole hour from where they are.

"Alright, who's carrying Jimin?" Taehyung asks, looking at the frail boy who is sitting on the damp grass with his legs crossed. "Jungkook you're pretty muscular and if you have to focus on Jimin that means you won't kill people on the way."

"Fine, but only because you say so." Jungkook replies, heading to pick up the ravenette.

"So Hobi." Taehyung starts, looking at the man with a slight glare. "I'm suspicious as to why you're helping us."

Hoseok looks up from his phone, cold winds making him shiver as he locks eyes with Taehyung's intimidating stare. "Because, I missed you."
