namjoon felt physically and mentally exhausted as him and the other six boys piled into the dorms, all them relaxing as they breathed in the familiar scent of home. they had just gotten done with their world tour but had to do just one more concert in korea before going home to relax. they had worked hard as to not disappoint army but all of them definitely overworked themselves.

"home." jimin sighed out, collapsing onto the nearest sofa cushion. "jin hyung, can't we just order food instead?" he asked, not even raising his head up to look at the older who looked at him almost offended.

"you think some fast food is gonna heal your sore muscles? you disgust me." seokjin replied, turning towards the kitchen. "you're just gonna have to wait a little bit so you can go to sleep on a warm and full belly."

"sleeping does sound really nice." jungkook said as he plopped down next to jimin, shortly followed by taehyung who wrapped his entire body around jungkook, basically already asleep. namjoon smiled at them. they had grown so much over the years and he could only compare his pride to having a child of his own.

namjoon stood there awkwardly for a moment, sensing the tension between the other two next to him, probably because of the events that took place just an hour before. he sat down in their black arm chair and grabbed his phone out of his pocket, glancing at yoongi and hoseok who were sitting on the same couch, one on each end. namjoon would of groaned if it wouldn't of drawn any attention to him. they were just like dumb middle schoolers, stealing glances at each other while also trying to look as uninterested as possible. how were they older than him?

it stayed like that for a while: the three youngest dozing off, yoongi and hoseok trying to ignore each other and namjoon scrolling through twitter while the smell of seokjin's meal made them all lick their lips.

"hey guys stop sleeping, dinners almost ready." jin said, poking his head out from the kitchen before his eyes landed on a certain spot next to the front door. "what's that box?" to that namjoon looked over curiously to the place seokjin was eyeing. his brown eyes landed on a small wooden box sitting at the entrance to the living area. the others did the same, even the sleepy younger boys eyes were wide with curiosity.

namjoon was the first to stand and walk over to the box, quickly followed by jungkook, jimin and taehyung. even hobi and yoongi seemed to forget about their little quarrel from earlier and walked over to look at the box. jin was a bit more hesitant thought, looking at the box with suspicion.

"i wouldn't open that if i were you, it could be dangerous." he said, crossing his arms but making his way over anyway. "what if it's like a knife or a blood vile again?"

"i doubt that security would let it get in here if it was dangerous jin." he scoffed before picking up the box to examining it. it was a smooth, dark brown wood painted nicely with green and red stripes. small words were carved in between the lines, making namjoon squint his eyes to read it.

"go back to a simpler time and help the you you hate most, cause if you help them you may be able to boast. they won't remember you at least not with their own eyes, but if they think twice they'll remember your advice. you just need to solve the problems to get back to your own time, and if you could love yourself along the way that would be sublime." namjoon finished reading and looked towards the other members. "ok that's a bit weird but nothing out of the ordinary."

seokjin rolled his eyes and his eyebrows furrowed but didn't say anything. jungkook pushes forward until he was next to namjoon, eyeing the box like it was a juicy meal. "if you don't open it i will, hyung." he said. namjoon shook his head and  pushed the box open with click. all of them looked to see what the contents of the box were but were surprised to see there was nothing in it.
