"so this certain emotion needs to be SO much that a normal person would explode from too much emotion?" yoongi asked. he was driving himself and hoseok away from where they were in the first place. yoongi was learning so much about hoseok, making him more happier.

"yeah, i have to be REALLY sad or REALLY happy in order for me to break out of this," hoseok said while staring at the window in front of the car. his eyes reflected all the trees that they were passing by and the headlights from the cars going the opposite side. yoongi was actually smiling from the presence of the other boy.

"i'll teach you how to smile again," yoongi stayed hopeful. after that, it was silent in the car, just the hope of the ride to end so they can finally rest and not worry about the police. but it was impossible to run away forever. they're looking for him and that's what worried yoongi.

"ughh why did you join that hell place anyway?" yoongi asked.

"i didn't join, i was born into it," hoseok looked at yoongi for his reaction. when he didn't say anything, he continued, "my family was part of it before me so i was born to be in there. my family left me since a baby and someone else had to raise me."

"who?"

"just someone. it isn't important."

"please tell me."

hoseok didn't say anything for a while, hoping that yoongi will drop it but once he didn't, he knew he had to say something, "a guy. he was seven when he started raising me."

"did he escape like you too or did he...?" yoongi knew that the topic was sensitive but he just wanted to learn about everything about the boy's life. he is running away from the police and hiding a criminal is illegal and can get him in so much trouble.

"i don't know what happened. he's probably in jail or dead," hoseok looked out his own side window this time. he felt like throwing up. he learned about everything that his foster father had to go through and he's been talking about him like some sort of psychopath with no heart whatsoever. he felt horrible but he can't do anything now. his father called the police to protect his son in risk of him getting himself killed.

"hoseok, do you not want to talk about it or do you not trust me?" yoongi spoke.

"i..." hoseok breathed in slowly. he thought about what he was going to say before speaking, "he was the one controlling everything. he was the one that would do the hard work while i and other people lured victims. he give us everything while he gave up everything. he made sure we had a decent life while he lived in misery. i just wish i could go back in time and actually tell him how much i appreciate him and his hard work. it was hard for him to raise a kid that wasn't even his and he promised to protect me...even on his deathbed."

it felt like an eternity. hoseok was just happy that they arrived to where they were going to spend the rest of their life, hopefully.
