"When you're the most happening person at the party, it's time to leave"

Hoseok looked around and noticed almost everyone was drunk.

Jimin and Taehyung had jumped onto the table and activated the karaoke set, singing their hearts out to old classics.

Seokjin was ranting about everything while Namjoon tried to calm him down and Jungkook was enjoying the drama.

Yoongi was- wait, where's Yoongi? Hoseok looked around, not spotting the pale boy anywhere. Hoseok tapped on the shoulder of one of their classmates, who he was certain actually knew Yoongi. "Have you seen Yoongi?"

"Huh?"

"Have you seen Yoongi?"

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

"HAVE YOU SEEN YOONGI!?" The question finally reached his ears and he nodded, pointing upstairs and holding up two fingers. The second room upstairs, alright, yeah Hoseok can definitely go and check out the bedroom.

Not like the possibility he will walk in on an orgy going on is extremely high or something. No, of course not. Hoseok took a deep breath before walking upstairs and knocking on the door. "Do I need to cover my eyes!?" Before Hoseok could do anything the door opened. "Oh you're he- are you alright?" Hoseok saw the current state of Yoongi, either he was drunk as fuck or he had been crying. Hoseok had never been a champ in differentiating the two. But it also wasn't the most regular thing to see alcohol at a teenage party.

Before Yoongi could say anything the music got cut and a loud scream was heard. "POLICE!" Yoongi looked panicked before Hoseok grabbed his hand and pulled him along. "Don't worry, I've been here enough times to know all the escape routes." Hoseok smiled to reassure Yoongi. He didn't look very reassured.

Hoseok led Yoongi to a room all the way in the back before opening up the window. "Slide down that pipe and run to the side of the house." Yoongi let out a panicky breath before following Hoseok's instructions, Hoseok quickly following after him.

Once both of them were on the ground, Hoseok opened up the gate that led into the alley way. Hoseok grabbed Yoongi's face, startling him. "You don't look drunk, do I look drunk?" Yoongi shook his head before Hoseok smiled again. "Just follow what I do." Hoseok grabbed Yoongi's hand before calmly walking to the front of the house. "What are you doing?" Yoongi hissed. "Hiding in plain sight. Play pretend." The police was busy running after the teens that were panicking to get home while they ignored the ones that just looked like they were taking a midnight stroll.

"What's happening over here officers?" Hoseok looked concerned at the house. "A party with underage drinkers. You don't happen to know about this do you?" Hoseok looked confused before he looked at Yoongi. "You know what's happening here?" Yoongi just merely shrugged, playing the role perfectly. "Why are you two out here this late."

"Oh- my boyfriend over here was having a rough night so I thought that a midnight stroll would help him calm down." The officer nodded. "Get home safely, you two are still young. It's dangerous out here."

"Will do officer, good luck with...." Hoseok waved his hand around in the direction of the house. "...This." Hoseok smiled before pulling Yoongi along. When they turned the  corner Yoongi nearly collapsed from the nerves hitting him. "Why the fuck did you talk to them."

"They don't expect you to interact when you're guilty." Hoseok grabbed Yoongi's hands, rubbing his thumbs over the back of his hands. "It's okay, you're safe." Yoongi was quickly breathing and his eyes seemed to daze off. "Is your home far away from here?" Yoongi nodded, trying to calm down his breathing. "Where's Taehyung?" Hoseok pulled his phone from his pocket, dialing Taehyung's number. He squeezed Yoongi's hand, giving him a reassuring smile. "You'll be okay. I'm here." The phone rang a few times before he got the voicemail. He sighed before dialing Jimin's number, remembering Jimin was with Taehyung the last time he saw him.

"Hobi, hiiiii. I'm so sorry for inviting you to the party."

It seemed like the arrival of police had sobered him up enough to get away.

"It's fine, where are you and who's with you?"

"I'm almost home, Taehyung and Namjoon are with me."

Hoseok put his phone down. "He's with Jimin, do you need him here?" Yoongi shook his head. "I just want to talk to him." Hoseok nodded and lifted his phone back up to his ear.

"Can you get Taehyung on the phone for me?"

Hoseok heard a bit of shuffling and whispered voices before the by now familiar voice of Taehyung was heard.

"Is Yoongi with you?"

"Yes he is, he wants to talk to you."

Hoseok handed his phone to Yoongi, who seemed to calm down by just the sound of his friend's voice. Their conversation was short but Yoongi quickly got out of his panic attack to just a little nervous. Hoseok helped Yoongi back up his feet before rubbing soothing circles on his back.

Hoseok phone ringed and the most ugliest picture of Jungkook filled his screen, making Yoongi laugh when he saw it. Hoseok chuckled before accepting the call.

"Hello?"

"Where the fuck are you?"

"Like, one block away. Where are you?"

"Like, one block away. OMG I HEAR MORE FOOTSTEPS HOSEOK IS THERE SOMEONE WITH YOU?"

"Yes, Yoongi is. Calm down Kookie. Who's with you?"

Hoseok laughed when Jungkook let out a heavy sigh.

"Take a wild fucking guess. I always end up with this annoying- OW! DON'T HIT ME! ᴴᵒʷ ᵈᵃʳᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ᶜᵃˡˡ ᵐᵉ ᵃⁿⁿᵒʸᶦⁿᵍ  I call you annoying if you are anno- STOP HITTING ME! Hobi I have to go."

The call got ended abruptly, Hoseok stuffed his phone back in his pocket.

"...So where are we going?"
