Since Taehyung and Hoseok had tried to leave Jungkook couldn't help but focus on the nagging feeling at the back of his mind. Thoughts swirled around his head in a crazy hurricane, like a storm of corrosive negativity. He couldn't think about anything apart from stopping the two from leaving.
They couldn't go, right? They'd stay for him...But what if they didn't.
He was scared. He didn't want to go back to being alone. The way he was before they found him. Before he became a singer, before he sang with Jimin. Before the exhilaration of being on stage. No. He wasn't going to let them leave him. He was going to make them stay. Standing up from his seat on the floor he hurriedly made his way to Hoseok's room.

"Hyung?" Jungkook quietly questioned as he knocked on the corner of the room.
"Hey kookie" Hoseok beamed back.
"Um...I...um..." Jungkook began. Hoseok quickly stood and walked over to Jungkook.
"What is it? Are you okay?" He had worry written all over his face. Jungkook shuffled awkwardly on his feet not being able to look the elder in the eye. As soon as Jungkook had began to muster the courage to say something Taehyung knocked on the door.
"Oh... Sorry did I walk in on something here?" He questioned beginning to back up slowly from the door frame.
"N-no. It's fine hyung. I was just leaving." Jungkook replied feeling his courage and strong words evaporate into thin air.
"Oh. Okay. Um Hoseok hyung do you want to come to the grocery store with me? Jin hyung said it was okay." Taehyung asked.
"Sure." Hoseok shrugged. "It'd be nice to get out of the house for a while. I mean if we didn't have online delivery I'm pretty sure we'd have all starved to death by now." He was truly trying to brighten the mood and he chuckled lightly but was failing miserably. Taehyung simply smiled at the older and walked down the corridor to get his shoes and coat.
"We'll talk later Kookie." Hoseok said before leaving the room. Jungkook let out a long sigh went back to his own room feeling defeated and alone.

Hoseok and Taehyung had been walking down the street for a while now. "Tae-, How far is the shop?" Hoseok questioned the younger.
"Not long now hyung." Taehyung sighed.
"That's what you've been saying for the past 10 minutes!" Hoseok replied semi-annoyed.
"We're here hyung" Hoseok sighed in relief as they entered the shop. Shelves of bread and biscuits greeted them as they stepped through the door. tills to the left, drinks to the right. Bread dead ahead.
"I'm going to get some orange juice hyung" Tae stated as he veered off to the right.
"Ok. Wait! What do you want me to get?" Hoseok shouted after him.
"Whatever you want!" Taehyung replied waving a dismissive hand at his companion. Hoseok began to head down the aisles to find something he might want when a black figure crossed his path.
"W-who are y-you?" He stuttered at the figure before him.
"I'm here to save you..." the figure stated darkly. "Hyung..."

"JUNGKOOK!" A loud voice screamed his name. He quickly rose from his seat on the floor and walked towards the source of the voice. Walking down the long corridor where all of the bedrooms are he reached Jin's.
"Yes hyung" Jungkook questioned.
"Where are the other two?" The serious expression and tone he had making it dawn on Jungkook that Taehyung had lied. Jungkook's eyes grew wide and his words became panicked and rushed.
"HoseokandTaeweregoingtotheshopforandthen-"

"Woah! Woah! Calm down. Say it slowly." Jin coaxed feeling uneasy after the younger's sudden outburst.
"Hyung! They're both in danger! I mean Tae asked Hoseok if he wanted to go shopping and he said he asked you which he obviously didn't and-" Jin cut Jungkook off again.
"I'm going to find them you stay here." Before Jungkook could protest Jin was out the door ready to scour the streets for the grocery shop that contained his two freinds - well hopefully both of them.

Jungkook sighed heavily and sat on the small bean-bag in the corner of the room. What if I lose Jin hyung? He wasn't going to let that happen anytime soon. Jungkook stood quickly and ran to the door. He was about to open it when a knock stopped him in his tracks. He hesitantly opened the door to a black figure before him.

"Hello officer? Um... sorry if I sound rude but um why are you here?"
