'Sometimes, the things that you want, desperately, very much, they don't really come to you, that easily.

You have to fight, strive, and lose, to get them...and that's what they'd have to do...'

They were walking, with their heads down, covered in hoods, and caps. There weren't any roads, moreover, it was the type of an overgrown park. Small crippled houses in the distance, doesn't look like anyone could be living here. They walked straightway, to the house which they were looking for, keeping their cool.

Walking up the two steps, and standing on the threshold, knocking on the door, they waited for anyone to open it, meanwhile looking at the small house, its condition, and looking at each other from beneath their hoods.

However, minutes passed, and no sound, no reaction, nothing at all.

HOSEOK- Can't we just open it?

JIMIN- What say, Tae?

Tae looked at Jimin, but before he could say, they heard a click, and they looked over to Jin who had a nervous smile.

JIN- Hehe, couldn't control me.

All of them rolled their eyes, but ofc in a hidden way. They didn't wanna get their ears to bleed. (You know if you know.)

Jin pushed open the door, which made a noise like the doors in those horror movies, creaks, and sliding.

HOSEOK- Okay, this was scary.

SUGA- Shut up, horse face.

HOSEOK- I swear, you cat! I'm gonna kill you once I get the chance.

JIMIN- Alright, Hobi Hyung, control. My meow-meow didn't mean it that way, he was just teasing you.

HOSEOK- He better, shorty.

JIMIN- Meow, kill him.

SUGA- *smirk*

HOSEOK- *😒😑😬🥲*

NAMJOON- Can you guys stop, look Tae and Jin have already gone.

They looked to see, Taehyung and Jin rummaging here and there, slowly, with silent steps. And so, they followed, oblivious of the people who were looking at them from far away.

JIMIN- What the! How can someone even live in these conditions?

The walls were all shabby, and a small cramped-up area with a sloth-eaten couch rested directly a few steps away from the main door. Living room. Another open room, big enough to hold a single, half-broken bed, an almost broken wooden shelf, and a small washroom. The floor creaked with every step, with no visible lighting. Just two or three candles on the surfaces were kept. To one side of the 'living room', there was what you call a kitchen, however, it looked anything but the said. Broken counter, no stove, and no refrigerator. A single plastic bottle was kept, which had two to three sips of water left. There was no garbage can, no food, except if you took into consideration the single bread slice, covered with wrap, and a half-eaten apple.

JIN- Tae, do you think this is the right address? - he said looking around.

Jimin and Taehyung, who were in the so-called 'bedroom', were walking around, with the flashlights of their phones on, rummaging through things. Jimin tripped over but managed to maintain balance. However, he looked down to see the floorboard ripping. He looked over, and pointed his phone at it,

JIMIN- Taehyung!

Tae who was rummaging in the 'wardrobe', which had nothing but a few clothes, not so clean, looked back at Jimin, who was sitting on the ground on the other side of the bed.

He went over and pointed his flashlight too.

Scraps, pieces of cloth and cotton, and bandages covered in blood were all huddled in the crack between the broken wooden boards of the floor.

Both the boys looked at each other before they stared at the bedding. Red marks, small spots. Blood.

They didn't say anything but heard the voice of Jin calling them.

Jimin stood up and held Tae's wrist who hissed a bit, and so he looked back at Tae's face and then where he was holding him. A new tattoo, among all the others, this one was just made on the prominent vein of the wrist, and read, 'My Bunny' in blood-red letters. Jimin looked at it for a few seconds before looking back at Taehyung's face who was staring back at him. He sighed,

JIMIN- This could have cost your life, do you understand that?

Taehyung smiled a sad smile before,

TAE- My life is already paying Chim, if I don't find him, it'll pay all at once, completely.

Jimin gave him a look of sympathy before walking out to the place where the rest were waiting. Taehyung followed not before looking around the room once again.

NAMJOON- Honestly, I don't think this place has been habited.

JIN- I think it has. There's a bottle of water, and a slice of bread, both look a day or two old.

SUGA- The washroom has signs of someone having a shower since the drains are a bit clogged.

HOSEOK- Taehyung-ah?

Tae who was looking down didn't say anything but Jimin did.

JIMIN- Hyungs, there are blood marks on the bedding, and a few torn clothes, bandages, and cotton too, huddled in the cracks between the floorboards, in the room.

JIN- Tae-ah? Bear?

Jin held the boy's shoulders who held something in his hand. Jin took it and looked at it.

JIN- It's Jungkook's?

Tae nodded.

JIN- That means, Jungkook was living here. But why? And even if he was, where the hell is he, right now?

Taehyung walked around, thrashing things, but he looked back to see a laser red dot on Jin's shoulder. It didn't take even a second before Tae kicked the couch, which shifted from its place and made Jin fall, and then they heard a shot.

Looking behind to see that the bullet had gone through the wall, they looked at each other,

TAEHYUNG- Hyungs, someone's been looking at us! We need to go, NOW!

Jimin broke the nearby window, and jumped out, while the rest followed.

TAEHYUNG- I'll get you, My Bunny, no matter what. I won't let my hopes shatter down like this.

They all jumped and ran far away. In no time, they heard a boom. Looking back to see the house on fire.

They ran ahead, straight to their car, and drove back to the mansion, without coming into anyone's glances.

NAMJOON- What the heck was that!??

TAE- Damn it! What the fuck is happening??!!!

He threw the glass in his hand far away in anger.

JIN- YAHH! DON'T DO THAT!

Tae didn't say anything, just kept his head low. They all looked at him, but their eyes softened when they saw the boy sniffing.

Jin went and sat beside him.

JIN- Tae-ah...don't cry. Don't worry, we'll find Kookie and bring him back.

TAE- It all reminds me of that day! I wish I had never done that! Only if I was more reasonable, the boy would have been with me right now! It's all fucking my fault!

Jin hugged him while patting his back.

TAE- You don't know how much it scared me, seeing all those bloody clothes and stuff. What...w-what if something h-happens to h-him, h-Hyung... I'll die...
