Submerged

Chapter 2

Taehyung sighed as he walked along side Yoongi. Yoongi looked over at him and sighed out. Taehyung rolled his eyes and stopped. He looked over at Yoongi. "What is it your highness?" Yoongi stopped and looked back at him. "I didn't say anything." Taehyung walked up to him. "You sighed. Can't stand being alone with me for this long, huh?" Taehyung asked.

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "That's not it. It's nothing, okay?" Taehyung sighed. "Fine." He said before he started to walk again. They continued to walk in silence until Taehyung cleared his throat. "I suppose I should thank you..."

Yoongi looked over at him, his eyebrows had disappeared behind his bangs. "Thank you, Yoongi. For taking the fall... my parents would of killed me if I had gotten expelled. Or worse, I would of had to work for my dad."

Yoongi nodded. "You're welcome, Taehyung." "Why did you do it though? We hate each other." Taehyung said. Yoongi sighed out. "I don't hate you. I don't know why you think that." Taehyung laughed. "Do you not remember?" Yoongi shook his head. "You're the one that told everyone at school that I had gotten arrested our last year of middle school."

Yoongi sighed. "I'm sorry... everyone kept asking where you were and I was the only one who knew. I didn't tell them to humiliate you. I thought they were all genuinely worried about you as well." Taehyung scoffed. "Why would.... you were worried about me?" Yoongi nodded. "It was your first time getting arrested and charged. I thought I'd maybe never see you again."

Taehyung laughed a bit. "Well you can thank your dad for that. I wasn't even doing anything." Yoongi looked up at him. "My dad arrested you? Seriously?" Taehyung nodded. "I don't know if you know this, but he hates me. He hates my father."

Taehyung chuckled. Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows. "What?" Taehyung smirked a bit. "Just thinking... it would be hilarious if your dad saw you with me right now." Yoongi shook his head. "I doubt he hates you. He wouldn't do anything." Taehyung rolled his eyes. "I think you underestimate your father, but okay."

Taehyung lead Yoongi to a broken down white house. It had a piece of cardboard in place of a broken window. One of the steps that lead up to the porch had been busted. The screen door was off the top hinge. There was mold on the side of house and vines everywhere. The grass was unkept and had started to grow over the stone path to the house.

Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows as he looked around. "Is this your hang out?" He asked. Taehyung shook his head. "No, this is my house. I'm just gonna drop my stuff off and grab my- us... swim trunks. Do you want to leave your bag here?" Yoongi nodded. "Only... if you walk me home later." Taehyung shook his head. "One of the others can take you home." Yoongi sighed. "I don't know them as well. Just... please?"

Taehyung groaned before he grabbed Yoongi's bag. "Alright. But if your dad kills me, my blood is on your hands as well." Yoongi smiled. "Fine." Taehyung started to walk up to his house with Yoongi in tow. Taehyung stopped once he heard a glass break inside and yelling that was quickly growing into screaming.

"Fuck..." Taehyung said under his breath. He turned to Yoongi and sighed. "Could you wait for me up the road? Just stop and wait by that big bush that's up there. Okay?" Yoongi nodded before he turned and started to walk away. Taehyung stepped onto the porch. "Wait! Can I get something out of my backpack?" Yoongi asked as he ran up to him.

Taehyung nodded before he handed it over. Yoongi pulled out a notebook and pen before he closed it and handed it back. Taehyung stared at him. "Okay... go." Yoongi rolled his eyes before he walked away again. Taehyung sighed out before he walked inside of his house. He walked past the kitchen, quickly glancing in as his parents fought.

He quietly moved to his shared room with his little sister. She was sitting on her bed reading a book with the record player on and her headphones. Taehyung tossed the backpacks on his bed before he pulled his leather jacket off. His sister pulled her headphones off and looked up. "Where are you going?" She asked. "To hang out with my friends at the creek. How long have they been going?"

His sister sat up and sighed. "Before I got home. I pretty sure we only have like two plates left? Why don't they just get a divorce, oppa?" Taehyung shrugged. "I don't know Dahyun. Are you going to be okay by yourself?" Taehyung asked as he pulled his shirt off. She nodded. "I'll just stay here..." Taehyung sighed. "Just come with me, get your suit on. I'll be waiting for you at the bush down the street." He said before he grabbed two pairs of trunks and a shirt before he left.

Taehyung snuck past the kitchen and jogged off of his parents property. Yoongi looked over at Taehyung as he jogged over to him. He gulped as he looked the boy over . Taehyung threw the extra pair of trunks at him before he stopped in front of him. "We have to wait for my sister. She needs to get out of the house." Yoongi nodded as he slowly checked Taehyung out.

They both looked over as Dahyun ran up to them. "Dad caught me! Run!" She said before she ran past them. "Fuck!" Taehyung said as he watched his dad walk towards them, cocking his gun before he held it up and aiming it at Yoongi and Taehyung. "Where the hell are you kids going? What are you doing with that Min boy?!"

Taehyung grabbed Yoongi and shoved him forward. "RUN!" Taehyung shouted. Yoongi took off with Taehyung behind soon after. Taehyung jumped a bit as his father shot next to his feet. They ran down the hill into the forest. Yoongi stopped and leaned against a tree as he caught his breath.

Taehyung walked over to him, breathing heavily as he looked Yoongi over. "Are you okay?" Yoongi nodded and pointed behind Taehyung. "What the fuck is his problem?" Taehyung sighed. He's just an asshole. Come on. I'm sure the others are waiting for us." Taehyung said as he grabbed Yoongi's arm and walked him deeper into the forest.
