Taehyung and Namjoon were kicked out by Jimin and Yoongi to do groceries for tonight. Both men hate doing these kind of things, Taehyung cause he's spoiled and Namjoon because he just generally doesn't like to go outside.

But both men always find a way to make boring things fun. So as they're walking through the crowded supermarket, they're making each other laugh and doing dumb shit, probably disturbing the other shoppers.

They usually don't go to big convenience stores like this because everything is way too expensive, but Yoongi needed this special kind of herb that they didn't sell at where they usally shop.

Time flows by and they've done nothing but fuck around and mess with eachother, not even attempting to finding the herbs isle.

"I swear to god, you're so annoying, I don't know how Jimin puts up with you." Namjoon says, playfully rolling his eyes.

"I don't know how he does it either, do you wanna try?" He says, suggestively winking at the elder and earning a smack on the head in return.

Pouty, Taehyung rubs his head and runs away from Namjoon, looking around to find the isle they're looking for when he freezes in his tracks. It's like the whole world around him has stopped and all sounds are muted, only being able to hear his own breathing.

He stares at what he sees, unable to believe that it's real. He tries to convinve himself that he's seeing things, but he knows he isn't.

A confusing smile forms on his face, because at the very back of the pasta and rice isle, stands a boy with golden honey brown hair and black eyes.

His usual big doe eyes are almost completely shut from the wide smile he carries on his face. His hair is a bit longer than before and he's wearing different clothes.

Something in Taehyung feels relieved. Relieved to see that the boy is alive, that he's smiling and that he's okay.

He knows he should walk away before the boy sees him, not wanting to bring back those confusing feelings from the day they met. Conflicted with what his next action should be, he's already too late as Jungkook has locked eyes with him.

The boy's eyes grow wide and his bunny teeth come out as he loudly yells. "Taehyung!" He screams as he runs towards the elder and latches onto him, taking the man by surprise.

Still processing that Jungkook is infront of him again, the boy turns around. "Hobi!"

Taehyung watches as a handsome man with dark red dyed hear and about the same age as him, walks over to them, looking confused as ever.

Excitedly, Jungkook starts bouncing up and down. "This is Taehyung!"

Finally starting to wake up from his daze, he hugs Jungkook back and smiles at him. "Hey bud, you look good."

He notices that Jungkook has grown taller than what he was before. It should be weird that the boy grew that much in short amount of time, but at this point has Taehyung already accepted that Jungkook's whole existence is weird.

With a polite but alert smile, he greets the man Jungkook called 'Hobi', but he doubts that's his real name.

"T-Taehyung? As in, Taehyung from Jimin, Yoongi and Namjoon?" Hoseok manages out, not believing what he's hearing.

Taehyung blinks a few times before grinning and puts a hand on his chest. "Wow, I didn't know I had fans. Do you want an autograph?"

He laughs at his own comment, but quickly stops when he sees that Hoseok is still looking at him in shock. Now growing annoyed, Taehyung groans. "What?"

"O-oh I'm sorry, it's just that – um I've been trying to find you guys ever since I found Jungkook and now I run into one of you in a store."

Taehyung looks slightly down at Jungkook who's still clinging onto him, their height difference now a bit less, and then up again at Hoseok.

"What do you mean 'found'?"

"Well, my husband found him sitting outside on the curb. It looked like he was sitting there for hours and he was freezing cold. He then took Jungkook home and there we gave him a roof over his head, untill now. He couldn't speak well so we taught him Korean and he learned fast, inhumanly fast actually."

Jungkook chuckles softly, but subtle enough for the two men to not notice.

"The only thing we know of where he lives, were your names, and we've been looking for you since then."

Taehyung remains silent for a while, taking in this information. So Jungkook never went to the police station, he just sat there on the street, no one thinking to check on him.

Regret and guilt fills him up as he thinks of that maybe, Jungkook was waiting for them to return.

He can feel tears begin to well up in his eyes but stops himself just in time, not wanting the man to see him cry.

He glances at Jungkook and at the man before shrugging his shoulders. "Okay you found me, what now?"

Hoseok doesn't really know what now. The original plan was to return Jungkook to his home and he and Seokjin could go on with their lives again.

But does he really want that? To live his normal life again, being away from the boy he's grown a bit attached to.

Jungkook senses the tension in the situation and lets Taehyung go, turning to Hoseok with a smile. "You meet Yoongi, Namjoon and Jimin."

Both men make eye contact and agree, both not knowing how to get out of this situation otherwise.

Things have become ten times more complicated than they already were.
