Jungkook entered the park, searching for Namjoon and he easily spotted him sitting on a bench nearby.

When Jungkook came back yesterday, the first person he met was his father and when his father told him to explain why he needed '100 north korean defectors' informations' Jungkook told him he met this north korean guy by the name of Min Yoongi and he asked him to give him the aforementioned informations to make him believe that there was an organisation that helped North Korean in South Korea.

Strangely enough, his father didn't further question him.

"Good morning!" He greeted.

"Good morning Jungkook-ah!" Namjoon greeted back.

Jungkook sat beside him, "Tell me everything." Namjoon demanded.

Jungkook sighed and told him everything Seokjin has said to him and Namjoon couldn't hold his laugh at Jin's request, '100 north korean defectors' informations', he just thought it was too funny.

"And now I can't tell my father to help me, even though he already told me how to send things there, I don't know anyone that can send a package on behalf of me, I also don't even have a map or anything useful other than that." He said pouting.

Namjoon chuckled, his dimples displayed for Jungkook to see and nodded his head, "Alright, I'll help you, I already know someone that can send it for you but you need to know that you are not going to send a map from the start, it's a bit dangerous because you are not sure on who's hands will this letter fall to, so you are fine with a letter at first, then if the boy responds we will send him the map." Namjoon explained.

Jungkook nodded, "And then I can tell my dad that you sent the map and he will take care of the rest!" he said with an excited smile.

"I guess that will do." Namjoon said, "I'm really proud of you Jungkook-ah! you don't even know the boy yet you did all of that just for the sake of helping him, you are a good kid." he said putting his hands on Jungkook's shoulders.

Jungkook smiled lightly, "Thank you Hyung, you helped me so much already even though it barely has been a day since we met. Really thank you!" he said sincerely.

"No worried kid!" Namjoon said ruffling his hair.

"Can you give me the map now though? I don't want to keep disturbing you." He asked.

"Oh you are anything but a disturbance kid, as I said before it's my pleasure to help but if you want the map now, come with me." He said getting up.

Jungkook smiled and followed him.

1493.

Taehyung got up from his bed, he was so tired because he always worked longer hours on the weekends and yesterday he worked for 7 hours in the farm.

He sighed as he walked to the bathroom, there wasn't enough food today so he will eat one meal on the afternoon.

Probably.

His monthly payment will be tomorrow so it was okay even if he had no food today.

He made his way to his mother's room and he was glad when he saw that she actually looked fine, her face was very pale for the last couple of days but today she looked better.

"Good morning." He said as he sat by her side.

"Good morning Taehyungie." She said smiling at him.

"How are you feeling today?" He asked her gently.

"I feel much better today, I can definitaly sew three dresses in one day." She said smiling at him jokingly.

He smiled his boxy smile at her, "I'm glad to hear that." he said.

Suddenly, he heard somone knocking on his door and he felt chills run in his entire body, he was still scared but made his way to the door.

When he opened the door he was met with Jimin that burried his face in Taehyung's neck embracing him and crying, pleading for forgiveness.

What the hell was going on? Taehyung thought.

"Hey Jimine, what's wrong are you okay?" He asked him worried.

"I didn't mean it Taehyungie I swear I didn't mean it." He cried heavely.

"Get in and tell me what happened." Taehyung said guiding him inside the house and into his room.

As Jimin's cries calmed down he breathed deeply before starting, "Yesterday they sent my father to jail." He said, "His crime was that he disrespected the leaders and someone heard him and immediately reported him." He continued.

Taehyung immediately held Jimin's hands, as a way of consolation.

"T-they a-accused the whole family of infidelity and were ready to take my mother and older sister until I screamed telling them that no one in the family was against the government, they told me to prove myself and out of fear I-I remembered seeing you go to Yeri's house a-and r-eported you to them Taehyungie, I'm so sorry." He said as he shoked on his sobs.

Taehyung's eyes softened and he quickly brought Jimin to his arms, and Jimin cried harder knowing that Taehyung actually forgave him.

"It's okay, I understand you, I know you wouldn't have done that if you weren't pressured." He said.

Jimin sniffled and asked very lowly as in a whisper, "Tell me honestly, Taehyung are you planning on escaping?"

Taehyung looked at him and Jimin cut him when he saw his panicked face, "I-I am asking because I want to escape. I can't stand living in this hell anymore." He said.

Taehyung stared at him, trying to distinguish if he was being honest and his eyes said that he indeed was telling the truth.

"I do want to, but I don't really have a plan, especially that now I'm suspected by the police to try to escape." Taehyung finally said.

Jimin looked at him briefly, an apologitic look in his face, "Well, I also wanted to tell you that this morning, one of my dad's close friends came to our house to talk to us and had told us some really interesting things I think you would like to hear." he explained.

"He said that he was planning on escaping with my father in 9 days, and now that they have taken my dad he thought he should do his job for him, he's planning on taking us with him and right as he said that I came here to ask you, do you want to come with us?" Jimin further explained.

Taehyung felt overwhelmed, he did not expect something like that.

After some seconds of silence Taehyung whispered, "Give me time to think about it, I can't make a decision like this without thinking deeply about it." He finally said.

Jimin smiled, "Alright, but remember that we're leaving in 9 days so try to make your decison as soon as you can." he said.

Taehyung nodded slowly as Jimin stood up, "I'll go now, take care of yourself, buddy!"

"You too." Taehyung said as Jimin closed their front door.

Taehyung didn't know whether he should be happy or worried now after he heard that news.

He sighed, this was either going to be the best decision he took or the worst mistake he made in his life.

Was he ready to risk it like that? Especially that he would never move without his mom so was he ready to risk going there with his mother with him?

He felt very conflicted, he thought that he probably would tell his mom later to ask her but he didn't know if that person, Jimin's father's friend was even trustworthy or not in the first place, he didn't want to give her false hopes.

He layed there on his bed looking at the ceiling..

What was the right decision?

Just what was it?
