jeongguk lets taehyung sleep longer than planned, watching him intensively. his lips are parted, little snores escaping every now and then. he doesn't hate him, he never has. but he hates what taehyung stands for, what his last name means. power. money. corruption.
when the clock strikes three, he sits up and stirs taehyung. the boy groans, fighting off sleep as he rubs at his tired eyes. "let's go kim," jeon is already packed up, taehyung's bag in his other hand.
taehyung gets up from the bed and puts his shoes on, glancing at jeon who's waiting on him. "how are we getting past the guards?" the brunette asks, grabbing his bag from jeon's hand and swinging it over his shoulders.
"don't worry about it, just stay close to me," the raven responds.
jeon does a double take to make sure nothing is left. he scans taehyung, eyes landing on the expensive watch that's around his wrist. "take that off, hide it."
taehyung doesn't hesitate to do as told, securing his precious watch in one of the inside pockets of his hoodie. jeon nods to himself, and then ruffles up taehyung's fringe, putting his hood up. "you're jeon taehyung for now ok?"
"ok."
silently, they leave the room and make their way into the staircases, making their way upstairs. taehyung doesn't ask why, he doesn't want to upset jeon. when they reach the rooftop door, jeon looks back at taehyung. his hand stays on the handle for a bit as he continues to look at him.
taehyung somehow knows why he's looking at him. "i'll be ok," he gives him a reassuring smile.
not fully convinced, jeon opens the door and goes out on to the roof, keeping taehyung close to him as they approach the group of men and women huddled by one of the walls. taehyung feels uneasy about the whole situation, nervously biting down on his bottom lip.
"alright, the guards come up here every third odd minute. we have three minutes to reach the ground without being spotted. we'll go one at a time. who wants to go first?" one of them men motions to the emergency stairs that lead to the ground.
jeongguk holds a hand in front of taehyung, shaking his head. someone steps forward, and without hesitation, starts to scramble down the stairs. once he's down, he whistles. the person he assumed was the leader motions them to get down quickly, so they do.
