"Stop!" Taehyung yelled out at the person running away from him. The person looked back at Taehyung, blood covered the unknown persons face and hands. They're face were full of fear as he continued running down an ally.

"Stop running and tell me why you killed him!" Taehyung yelled once more. The person he was chasing turned a corner, vanishing from Taehyung's sight as he turned the corner as well.

Taehyung's breath hitched. He crumpled to the ground, putting his hands up to his face. He tilted his head towards the night sky and started screaming. Tears streamed down his sweaty face, mixing with blood from a gash on his cheek, dripping onto the cold asphalt beneath him.

"Why?" He screamed again. "Why him and not me?!"











The front door slammed closed, startling Jimin from his short nap. He walked to the front entrance to see who came home. When he reached the door, he saw Taehyung with his back leaned against the door and his head hanging low.

"Oh, hey Taehyung." He greeted. Taehyung walked forward, looking at the ground. "Where were you last night?" Jimin's face dropped with a concerning look. He grabbed Taehyung's wrist when he didn't stop to answer.

"Out." Taehyung whispered. His voice shook and cracked as he spoke as if he's been crying the whole night.

"Were you looking for Jungkook again?" Jimin places a hand on Taehyung's shoulder. Taehyung nodded. He started to tremble. Jimin put his other hand on Taehyung's opposite shoulder.
"Any luck?" Taehyung shook his head as tears started to trail his face again. Jimin pulled Taehyung into a hug. "You'll find him." He said comfortably, rubbing the young one's back. Taehyung started to cry more from Jimin's embrace. They stood there for a while until Taehyung could control his sobbing.

"Where's Yoongi hyung?" Taehyung asked. Jimin stayed silent for a few seconds with thoughts flowing through his mind as he continued to rub Taehyung's back.

"He's out." Jimin said a bit coldly.

Taehyung has an unknown and sudden burst of anger. He pushed Jimin off and stormed off into his room. Jimin watched him until he was gone. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number

"Hello?" A voice called out. It was Yoongi.

"He's onto you, hyung." Jimin whispered as he slid on a pair of Puma's

"What do you mean?" Yoongi asked.

"I mean Taehyung suspects you of something." Jimin answered with a cold and irritated tone as he walked out of the front door and into the autumn air.

"How do you know that?" Yoongi asked once more. His voice sounded tired.

"Because he asked where you were so I told him you were out and out of no where he got angry and just marched off into his room." Wind brushed passed Jimin, fluffing his hair.

"Well, where are you?" Yoongi sighed. He sounded irritated from the news Jimin told him.

"I'm outside." Jimin hugged himself to try to keep warm from the cool wind as he walked into the backyard. He stood at the forest line, watching leaves fall off their branches.

"Alright, we'll go back inside. Tae may be thinking something happened to you, too." Yoongi commanded. "We don't want him to think you disappeared like Jungkook did."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Jimin made light steps in the fallen leaves on his way to the porch and opened the front door. "Call me back when it's time."

"I will. It won't be long before I finish up here. I just have to do a few more tiny things." A door opened on Yoongi's side of the phone, shutting soon after.

"Alright, see you in a bit." Jimin hung up leaving Yoongi stranded with an unspoken, but temporarily, farewell.

Jimin tossed his phone to the couch as he walked by the living room and into the kitchen. Thinking for a little bit, he decided to make a cup of coffee as he turned on the coffee maker. He opened the cabinet and reached around for a coffee mug but only felt the plywood for the bottom of the cabinet. He sighed, frustrated, and backed away to see where a coffee mug was when his eyes fell to the back. He sighed once more as he walked way to get a step ladder. When Jimin popped open the step ladder, a small voice spoke up behind him.

"Hyung?" Jimin turned around to spot a confused but humored Taehyung. Jimin gave Taehyung a death glare.

"Tell this to anyone and you're dead." Taehyung snickered. He stepped forward and grabbed a clean coffee mug from the counter and waved it at Jimin.

"There was one here the whole time, hyung." Jimin stared wide eyed and sighed once again. "It's clean but you can wash it out if you'd like." Taehyung held out the mug for Jimin to grab.

"Thanks, Taehyung." A hint of sarcasm was in Jimin's voice as he grabbed the mug from Taehyung's hand. He stepped down from the ladder and walked to the coffee maker to make coffee. Taehyung put the step ladder back where it belonged. As he walked back into the kitchen, he heard a vibration coming from the couch. He leaned over to see Jimin's phone ringing.

"Uh, hyung." Taehyung called out to Jimin. He answered with a hum. "Somebody's calling you." Taehyung said as he stepped into the kitchen to stand beside Jimin.

"Did you see who it was?" Jimin asked. Taehyung shook his head. Jimin looked at Taehyung blankly and walked into the living room to answer the phone call. He answered the phone.

"Hello?" Silence filled the phone line. Jimin pulled his phone away to see the caller ID. It was Yoongi, again.

"It's time to trade places, Jimin."
