Prompt;

Main; AU where people age until they reach 18 and then stop aging until they meet their soulmate so they can grow old together.

Additional details; Imagine platonically moving in with your best friend at 18 and then realizing a few years later that you've been aging together. (Changed the time when they moved in together)

Ship;  Min Yoongi×Park Jimin×Jung Hoseok; 

♡♡♡

Yoongi was a very private and secretive person ever since his childhood. He never told his friends where he hid his toys, when and where he was going to play tomorrow, nor anything about his hidden base - no one knew a single thing, not even his parents! He quickly got that 'cool kid' name by his peers since everyone's bases where either made by their parents or the adults knew about their whereabouts, but Yoongi's base? No one knew what it was and where it was - it was like a legend, a rumor, a story made up just to make him look cooler and get that respect on the playground.

But some believed in it's existence for one reason - Yoongi wasn't actually the only person that could go to his base; there were two more kids - Jimin and Hoseok, his trusty friends he never left home without. The reason why the base's existence was convincing was that you could ask about different stuff any of the three members about what is going on in the base and they always seemed to tell the same stories; there where no plot holes, the events always overlapped and the details where the same, no matter when, where or who was asked. They were just kids - they couldn't make up such detailed stories in such a short amount of time and actually make it sound believable!

And so, everyone wanted to join and get inside the base (which was apparently stacked with blankets, pillows, had dry, clean floors and walls, multiple toys, portable video games consoles, food and drinks - it's like heaven!) but that meant gaining Yoongi's trust; doing the impossible. In the end, no one else besides his two closest friends was allowed inside his little childhood palace, his own kingdom, the playground he ruled.

So, where was it? It's pretty simple - a medium sized fort in his grandma's garden, just between the enormous bushes and the fence. The floor was a bunch of floorboards glued together by his dad (how Yoongi got him to made them without telling him the purpose of them? That's for another story) and the walls were bade by the same planks used for the fence but with flat tips and more of them nailed at the top, creating a ceiling. The bushes grew perfectly around the wooden structure, hiding it from the outside world. 

To get inside, one had to go through a specific path between all the branches and then use a special key to unlock the door - the little boy actually had a toy padlock and bought two more, so his friends also had their own keys. You can't just waltz in to his safe space without his approval, but if you were a welcomed member, you could practically live in here. Three futons (which he had gotten from his relatives that live in Japan) laid next to each other, an old (but clean) cupboard in one corner of the base filled with some snacks, drinks and food that doesn't need to be kept in fridges, a little table in the middle where plates, toys and consoles where peacefully resting. It was like a little home, really - they even made a little window on the right wall where the sun usually slipped through the bushes and battery powered lamps for when the sun was already setting. At one point in time the three boys semi-lived in the base - they told their parents' that they're going to 'sleep over at x's' pack all the necessary items they needed for around five days (they even made a little bathroom-like space by pushing away some branches in the bushes where they kept buckets full of water to wash themselves) and spent over a half month hiding (with few days of breaks in-between to come back to their real homes).
