"wow, it looks so different from like, what, five years ago?" chaeyung said, talking to jin. namjoon and yoongi remained still in the closet. it was a really tight fit, but if they moved, they'd regret it later.

jimin downstairs, quickly opened the door. in front of him was hoseok. he hugged his elder friend happily and pulled back. "c'mon, we gotta go help namjoon." hoseok nodded.

the two boys both ran upstairs, and into the room where jimin had left the two boys. when they arrived, nothing but a sigh of relief escaped from their mouths when they saw that namjoon and yoongi had hidden somewhere. jimin placed his hand on his chest. this caught jin and his girlfriend's attention.

"are you guys okay? did you like, run up the stairs or something?" jin asked, confused. hoseok and jimin looked at each other. "ugh, we just raced each other upstairs, that's all." jimin said, making up a lie right on the spot. "you know how us kids can be like these days!" he laughed nervously.

"oh, okay. and who may this be?" jin asked about the person who was beside jimin, and who was in the group chat, when he left it after saying disgusting things about namjoon. he didn't know that though.

"i'm hoseok. jung hoseok, seokjin." hoseok introduced himself, panting. he avoided eye contact with chaeyung. she wrapped her arms around jin's, slowly dragging him away from hoseok. jin didn't know what she was doing.

"what's wrong?" he asked his partner, who seemed to be cautious of the person whom he had just met, hoseok. "it's... it's nothing." she muttered quietly, looking away from hoseok.

the four adults were having a quick conversation outside, but namjoon and yoongi were still stiff in that very closet. it was really hot and stuffy in there too.

as much as how much hoseok and jimin were desperate for the couple to leave so that they could help save their friends, they did not want to seem sketchy in front of the guests of the house.

"keep still. we'll get out of here when they leave." yoongi quietly whispered into the late-birthday boy's ear. he slightly nodded, barely moving to fix his posture. but because of the closet having random small objects in there, namjoon stepped on something. the item was made out of glass, and it broke from his foot.

"did you hear something break?" chaeyung asked, still gripping onto her boyfriend's arm. hoseok and jimin sweated and looked around the room nervously. they made it look like as if they didn't know what the sound was and where it came from. but the two of them were sure that it was either namjoon or yoongi.

"a-ah! it may have b-been uh, one of the v-vases! yeah, that's it! come d-down to help clean it up with me you two!" jimin stuttered shouting. he quickly ran downstairs, but signalled hoseok to stay in the room to help the two boys who both jimin and hoseok didn't know were stuck in the closet. jimin, jin and chaeyung stepped to the first level, jimin making sure to shut the door close, and leaving hoseok supposedly alone in the room.

"yoongi! namjoon! where are you guys? nobody's here, come out!" hoseok whispered out loudly, trying to get the boys attention and to come out of their hiding spot.

namjoon and yoongi heard him trying to look for them.

yoongi pressed his hand gently on the closet door from the inside, making sure it wasn't going to open while he whispered once again into the younger boy's ear.
