the intense atmosphere in the workplace was deafening that two certain males felt it in their bones. the two were both survivors from the boycott of the recent black marketing building. they were newbies there so they felt as if they don't need to go to jail, but the law is the law. that's why they decided to go and copy everything that their fellow survivor, hoseok, does. they knew about the former partner by the name of taehyung and hated leaving the boy. even though taehyung never knew about the two boy's presenses.

this time, they might go back. the main reason, hoseok might get caught and they didn't want to risk their lives by staying.

jimin and jungkook decided to go back to where they know it's safe. so they abandoned hoseok and his partner to go and try with taehyung. they knew that taehyung needed someone. they knew that taehyung was desperate.

"do you remember where he lived?" jungkook asked, worried about jimin losing his way and getting both of them lost. jimin held the map on one hand while his other was holding jungkook's wrist. they already walked two miles and they were exhausted. the last thing jimin wanted was for jungkook to question his map reading ability.

"i'm positive it's this way," jimin said, pointing ahead of them. they were already walking for 40 minutes so they had four and a half hours left to arrive to where they wanted to be. they were walking so it only made matters worse.

"please! i want to stop!" jungkook whined. they have already walked for three hours now and jungkook felt like his knees were about to give out. that's when jimin decided to sit on a nearby bench and catch his breath. "we just have an hour left, kook. we can do this," jimin said, in hopes that jungkook doesn't feel like giving up.

"why did we leave anyway? we were fine where we were before!" jungkook asked. his patience was running low; he didn't care about getting caught at that point. he just wanted to relax without a worry. jimin quickly gave him a hug, "i know you want to give up but you have to keep going," jimin said.

"for me."

jungkook sat in silence for a long time and decided to keep going. he couldn't leave jimin behind and he couldn't survive on his own.

after stopping at a small gas station to fill up their empty stomachs, they managed to find taehyung's apartment. they tried knocking on the door but there wasn't a response. it was two in the afternoon so they thought that taehyung was still working. so they waited. they sat in the hallways and waited. it took about an hour for a man to finally exit from the elevator. he had light brown hair pulled behind his ear, wearing a black suit with white underneath and a black tie. he slowly made his way to his door, careful to not step on the two boys.

jimin slowly got up, signalling for jungkook to get up as well, "taehyung?"

taehyung looked at the two boys in surprise. he tired looking at the boys' faces but he just couldn't put a name on them, "do i know you two?"

"we know hoseok. we saw how well you treated him a-and...we just need your help. we're just like him and he could possibly be in danger--" before jimin could finish, taehyung interrupted, "wait! hoseok? what happened to him?"

"he's fine now but...i don't know," jimin said, sadness in his voice. it's obvious that taehyung only cares about hoseok and not them. taehyung looked jimin and jungkook up and down and it's obvious that they need help.

"how far did you travel to get here?" taehyung asked while taking his key out to open his door. it was three in the afternoon and he was tired. he just got out of a really important meeting, an extremely boring meeting.

"20 miles."

taehyung's eyes widen, opening his door, "come in."

jimin and jungkook slowly made their way into the apartment and soon enough they got used to the place. it was just like they remembered. they sat down on the couch and waited for taehyung to say his final word about their fate.

"prove it," taehyung demanded while sitting down on the opposite of the boys. the two took their hands out to show the male. they both had two dots on their ring finger. satisfied, taehyung smiled while he took a sip of his water.

"welcome home."
