Until

40| House Arrest

"Fuck! This is bad. This is really, really bad and not what I had in mind. Shit! What should I do now?"

Taehyung paced the lengths of his new found safe haven a.k.a. the bathroom attached to Jimin's bedroom. He wasn't exactly panicking yet but he was sure on his way to have a panic attack pretty soon.

After the dreadful relevation regarding how Jimin was planning to 'keep' or more like trap Taehyung in his house for god knows how long, Taehyung had excused himself to the bathroom for getting cleaned up a little bit while Jimin and Ken left to cook something up for breakfast for all of them.

And that's how Taehyung found himself frantically calling his hyungs back again. He'd left the shower to run to block out his voice as his clean set of borrowed clothes laid ideally at the counter near the basin.

"Hello?"

"Hyung! Hyung you gotta do something!"
Taehyung practically screamed through the phone before quickly remembering where exactly he was at the moment and held himself back. Not even giving the person on the other end a chance to speak a few words in response, he just continued on in a more subdued voice than earlier.

"Hyung, Jimin's planning on keeping me with him for who knows how long. I can't do this hyung. This wasn't the plan. The plan was to find out Jimin's place of residence or his personal home address which I think we've got already I don't know what to do from here on out. You need to get me out of here as soon  as possible hyung. I just can't -"

"Taehyungie!"

The sudden exclamation of his name did get him to shut up long enough for his hyung to speak finally since the start of this frantic call.

"Take deep breaths with me okay?"

"Hyung we don't -"

Taehyung really thought it was ridiculous to waste time on such stuff at such a crucial time but his hyung was having none of it, and went about it his own way.

"Just shut up and listen Taehyung-ah! Hyung knows better, so just do as I say."

Taehyung loved his Seojoon hyung a lot like probably the most but at times like this he really wanted nothing more than to smash his hyung's face in the wall. But having no other choice, he just went along with his hyung, rather than wasting time on arguing, he knew he was on the clock, Jimin could come barging in any minute and he hadn't even cleaned up yet. So, keeping his aggressive thoughts at bay Taehyung started to take deep and long breaths until his hyung was satisfied with it.

"That's it. There you go, wasn't that tough, was it?"

"Hyung" Taehyung was sure his hyung could sense how low he was running on his patience level by the stiff and curt tone of his voice.

"Tae, now listen well and listen carefully to what I have to say and stay calm."
But the sudden shift in his hyung's voice, which sounded more business and professional like, had him immediately alert and listening with his ears wide open.

"We'll go with a change of plans."

If Taehyung was shocked at the news he didn't show it through his voice but if his hyung could see him now he'd know just how ground shaking was that for him.

"I was a bit doubtful about our previous course of plan and I still think it would jeopardize our identities before we get to the main set and after listening about your current situation I think it's best if we change it to something that's safe for all of us in the long run."

Taehyung didn't know his hyungs had his doubts about his previous plan but he could tell he was skeptical by the frown his face would always sport whenever he mentioned it. This really hurt that his hyung didn't voice out his doubts earlier and only now when he's trapped in their enemy's lair did he think it's best to mention?
