The Broken Duo (Namjoon And Seokjin)

Prologue

Namjoon

"Hey, Jin." I called the hyung, "Wake up, time to leave. "

Seokjin was asleep in the bed next to the one I was on. We've been staying in this motel for too long, need to keep moving.

He didn't respond,  I could hear his steady breathing and saw his shoulders slowly moving up and down. Seemed that he was having a good sleep. I'd hate to wake him up but I have no choice now do I?

I walked up to the bed and patted his shoulder.

"Hyung, wake up." I said

No response.

I sighed and shook him a little.

Suddenly, he jumped awake. He looked at me with a startled face.

"Huh?!" He exclaimed

"Sorry, but we need to leave Jin." I told him

He drowsily stared at me for a few seconds. I saw his hair was all messy and his eyes looked a bit swollen due to sleep depravity. Apart from that, he looked very stressed out.

"Hm...." He said, "What time is it?"

I checked my watch, "9:30 am." I said

He groaned, "Ugh..." He said, "Why do I always feel tired when I wake up in this country?"

He was slowly getting up as I walked away from his bed. I reached the table that was in front of the beds and checked the duffle bag that was on it.

"Because we're in the western hemisphere. Our sleep schedule gets kinda screwed over." I told him

I looked inside the bag and saw that my clothes were already packed inside. Ignoring that,I rummaged through them and felt cold steel at the bottom of the bag. Feeling a bit relieved that I still had it, I closed my eyes and exhaled.

".....Namjoon?" I heard Seokjin say

I turned around and saw him standing a few feet from me and giving a worried look.

"Hm?" I said

"You okay?" He asked

I blinked, "Yea."

He didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"Hm..." he said before walking over to the bathroom, "Well then, after brushing my teeth, we'll go get something to eat."

I nodded, "You got it, hyung."

He closed the bathroom door and I heard the water run.

I sighed and looked back down at the bag. I stared at it for a bit.

America. We've been in the United States for a while now. A few months actually.  We came here looking for something but we don't seem to have luck in finding it.

But still, she told us it'll be here. It has to be. We just need to keep looking for it. We can't give up, no matter what.

It's been almost an year since it happened and I can't just let it go. I need to find it..I-

"Hey, hyung!" I heard Seokjin call

I looked at the closed door, "Yea?"

"How much money we got left?" Jin asked

I shrugged, "Not as much as we had when we came here, but enough to make it through the month."

There was a moment of silence. I felt like he was thinking.

"We should do what I told you." He said

I shook my head, "Too risky, Jin. Can't do that."

"Oh but come on!" He said, "It'll be better if we do."

"If we get lucky and pull it off, maybe." I said crossing my arms

"Sometimes we gotta risk it all, Joonie." He said

I sighed, "Now's not the time to risk anything, Jin." I told him, "We have to be cautious. Neither of us can afford to lose each other in our predicament."

"Yea, I suppose...." he said

"Anyways, hurry up and get done." I said, "I'm hungry."

He chuckled, "Alright, alright."

I closed my eyes and sighed again.

We were currently traveling for a bit. In search for something that we desperately need to find. Our journey had just begun. From our home country of South Korea to the United States, the beginning of something big.

Seokjin and I were sent here by a woman who supposedly knew her stuff. Apparently, I am doubting that and worry that all this may be for nothing. But what the hell can we do now that we're this far even though it just started. All I can do now is to keep moving forward and find what we need to find.

Been too long since I've seen them. I need to see them, we both do. Whatever will we do without them.....

Nothing, that's what.
