The journey of escape for the runaways was done at last. Their final hours consisted of mainly rest for three and driving for one. Anticipation was great in them all as they entered a town that wasn't the most taken care of. Some buildings were old, some being fixed, and maybe one or two were new. Some of the roads had too many pot holes, and a few traffic lights didn't work. Despite the mishaps, they were all glad that they had reached the end of a tiring trip.

"Let's pick up some food before we get there." Taehyung suggested as they waited in traffic.

"No." Namjoon decided for them. "It's still a bit of a drive to the house."

Everyone believed him to be meaning the drive was no more than perhaps half an hour that. They were almost right because really it was double that. They exited the busy town into some rocky roads, wonky bridges, and undone roads. They weren't completely separated from civilization, but they also weren't not isolated. Every ten minutes or so they'd enter what appeared to be a town, but was really a handful of houses until they once again became surround by mostly nature. The homes varied when it came to just how old and poor looking they were. Some looked habitable while others looked completely abandoned when that wasn't the case.

The house at which they stopped had a bit of a hill which they had no trouble coming down thanks to the type of car they were in. Once settled, the vehicle was turned off. They were all dying for a stretch but no one was more desperate than Namjoon. He rushed out of the car and ran for the door of the house. It was among the better looking houses. It was a dirty dark green with white boarders. Some parts seem to be coming undone, but for the most part it was standing and really that was the most important thing about it.

"Namjoon! Namjoon!"

The voice of a man who was already in tears called out. He was right at the entrance when Namjoon engulfed him in a tight hug which lasted awkwardly long for those watching.

"I'm going to wait over there." Taehyung muttered as he too found it odd that the three just stood there and watch the emotional moment play out. Yoongi joined him while Jimin stayed put to what the reunion. Whoever was hugging Namjoon really seemed to love him. He was sobbing into his neck as the other told him it was alright now. It wasn't for some time until the presence of male was noticed.

"Hi..." The man finally said. He pulled away from Namjoon to introduce himself properly. "I'm Jin."

"I'm A95–"

"He's Jimin." Namjoon corrected him. "No more numbers."

Jimin smiled. "Right. I'm Park Jimin."

The other two came back to introduce themselves as well before following Jin back into the house. It was a cozy home that was just a bit too big for him. He talked about the extra rooms they had as well as the extra mattresses for the guest. There had yet to be talk about the guest situation for they weren't sure just for how long the three planned to be visitors. None of them had spoken out about their plans now that they were free. All they had agreed on was that they'd lay low in the safe house Namjoon would bring them to. Now that they were there they'd do that, but what came after for them no one really knew. They sort of just pushed that thought out of the way and took the hospitality of Namjoon's partner and the shelter of their home.

The lay out of the house was two stories, but a larger first floor. One the second floor there wasn't much but a bed room and the balcony that came with it. On the first floor was three bedrooms with two available bathrooms, not including the one outside. Along with it was the big open space which consisted of the living room right at the entrance, further in the dining room, and much further in the kitchen. Surrounding the kitchen was an opening then the walls of the three bedrooms. The small hallway by the kitchen led to the door of one bedroom and one door leading outside. Out there was an extra bathroom, washing machines, and a large sink for whatever purpose one could find it. There was also some open space which had been made for drying the clothes one washed. The space was the biggest, but it was enough to run a string through to hang one's clothes.

"What's the door out there for?" Jimin asked once Jin stopped explaining the back part of the house. If it wasn't for a red shirt he might not have noticed that the fencing had an opening to it.

"Oh, that leads into the woods. Don't go through there."

"He means it, Jimin." Namjoon said more sternly. "And more importantly that door, it stays closed. That goes for everyone. Am I understood?"

"Why?" Yoongi asked.

"Because there's animals on the other side, and even more dangerous ones at night. I don't want to wake up to a blood bath one morning because one of you idiots left it open. Now, am I understood?"

Everyone agreed that they'd stay alway from the door. Did they all mean it? Of course not. They ended the tour of the house there for showers with actual soaps were very much in need. Given there was more than one bathroom, everyone was bathed and in fresh clothes by dinner time. The clothes wasn't the perfect fit, but they were much better than what had been worn the entire week. Jimin was basically swimming in Jin's shirt, but he appreciated having something colorful. He liked his style. He went to tell Jin that while the man served everyone's dinner.

"Thank you!" Jin said with a wide smile at that. "A lot people around here find it odd that I wear pink."

Jimin simply smiled back as he continued to observe Jin. He was quite attractive so it was no mystery as to why Namjoon was so desperate to come back. He was tall with broad shoulder, dark brown hair, thick lips like Jimin's, and glasses on his nose. In a place like the one they were in he was definitely standing out.

Together Jimin and Jin brought out the food for everyone. The four runaways desperately ate their meal leaving the other to just stare in amazement. In seeing just how hungry they were Jin rushed back into the kitchen to bring them the whole pot of food which they did not hesitate to finish up.

The big meal put everyone in a state of coma. Their tired bodies all made it to their respective room. Namjoon was of course in the upstairs bedroom with Jin while the other three shared a single bedroom downstairs. They were aware of there being three bedrooms downstairs, but  only one with two mattresses. Yoongi took one while Taehyung the other which left Jimin in the same position he was last time.

Where should he sleep?

Ideally he'd love to sleep besides Yoongi, but he was sure the man who try to throw him off the bed so that wasn't really an option he wished to explore on their first night there. Instead he pushed Taehyung over and slept there. Thanks to the food he was able to fall asleep quite quickly, but due to dehydration he was up an hour later. He planned to get a glass of water and finish it in the room, but on the way back he saw that the door leading to the back part had been left slightly opened. His curiosity really peaked when he looked out of it to the door he had been forbidden from going past.

"I wonder..." Jimin muttered as he looked behind him to see only darkness. He stepped out into the cold night and towards that door. In the night there was no noise, not even those of cars. Only thing he could hear was the crickets hiding out behind the door. Jimin wanted to see where they were, he wanted to get only a peak at what was behind that door. Before even getting too close, he looked up to the balcony. The lights in the room were off meaning they were asleep. If he were ever going to get a peak it was now.

The big wooden door was not hard to unlock so there was no issue there. Jimin pushed it open just the slightest bit so that he could use at least one of his eyes to see the other side. It was just what Jin had said, the woods. It was dark so there wasn't much he could see, but he could hear what hiding in it.

There was howling.

Then Jimin saw it.

Somewhere in those dark woods there was a wolf. He had heard it, but then he saw it.

It was coming straight for him.
