"Are you- are you... crying?"
"No. Shut the fuck up," Taehyung barked at Namjoon after quickly wiping the small bit of wetness that escaped his eyes. It was the wind that was stinging his eyes was all. Yeah, just the wind.
"Tae, we've been riding all night aimlessly in the forest in hopes of catching up. He's nowhere."
"I know..."
"And what will you do when you don't find him?"
"I will find him. I won't stop. You can leave, go ahead," Taehyung offered bitterly and waved his hand for them to go on.
"We're not going to just leave you," Namjoon explained as if he was dumb for even suggesting a thing.
"If they're still on the road from Mapo, maybe we can intercept them," Soojin offered.
Everything they've done, every dumb solution they came up with was just a desperate attempt to do something, for they had no idea what they were doing or going to do for that matter.
But that's what they decided to do first, scout the forests of the outer banks of Seoul and to the east towards Mapo. Since Taehyung had wasted no time getting Namjoon and Soojin for help, riding fast in the direction the soldiers would have gone in anyway, he thought there would be a good chance they actually could cut them off and "demand the release of this here prison on behalf of the King's order." Yeah, that will blow over well. Even if the General would not be there himself.
They'd barely eaten, barely slept on Taehyung's wishes to keep going and ride fast. He knew the paths, knew the best and quickest ways to go during his adventures with Yoongi and time as a soldier himself. He just hoped that he'd get to Jimin in time before anything bad happened, or the boy would lose the will to forgive him for not being there.

Jimin had woken early with a start, barely giving the two about three or four hours of sleep. The earliest to wake up in the morning and get on with their aimless walking, with the littlest food or energy in their systems. Jimin had gently woken up his new friend while it was still a bit dark out, giving him berries and leaves he knew not to be harmful, though the taste would not be too pleasant. But it was better than nothing.
