"i don't think we should be here."

the male watched his friend put in a code to a door.  getting it incorrect, but tried again.  his friend chuckled, getting the code wrong for the tenth time.  "it'll be fine.  i know this guy."

he furrowed his eyes and fiddled with his fingers.  "you sure?  you keep getting the code wrong."

his friend turned his way, raising a brow as the keypad to the door beeped behind him.
"jimin.  trust me.  did i not just save you from the hospital?"

"and didn't you just run from your father?"

before his friend could respond, a vehicle pulled up.  both there eyes widened, like a pack of dynamite being lit up to the sky.  "what are you two doing?"

jimin's hands began to shake like rattlesnakes.  his friend hid behind him, clenching onto his bare legs.
jimin was in nothing but a hospital gown.  he didn't even have shoes on, for a rush his friend was being to help him escape.

he held his shaking hands together as he tried to make a proper sentence come out of his mouth.  the officer stepped out of his cop car.  "u-uh. . .  we're his cousins."

"of [y/n's]?"  said the officer.

"yes!" quickly replied jimin.

the officer walked up to the drive way, hands on hips as if he was a mother about to scowl her children. "never knew [y/n] had any cousins." he said. he squinted across the driveway. "why are you wearing a hospital gown, and why is that one so scared to come out?"

for a second, jimin stood still, trying to find a way to get him off their backs.

"[y/n] let us borrow his house for a film we're making. my brother, tae here gets a little shy to new people."

the officer slowly nodded his head towards them. jimin visibly shook, turning to his friend with begging eyes. "please tell me you know the passcode, taehyung."

his friend looked up to see jimin's pleading eyes. he nodded as he got up from clenching onto the male with the gown on.

he began to punch in the numbers with shaking hands. it was the last one he could think of, and hoped that's it'll be the right one.

three. . one. . five. . . nine.

taehyung shut his eyes tight as he waited for a sound to come out of it. he heard a click towards the door and opened his eyes immediately. it unlocked? taehyung smiled widely.

when jimin opened the door to the house, taehyung leaped inside.

the officer rises a brow. "you two have a nice day." he said as he got back into his vehicle, and slowly drove away. jimin waved at him, then quickly went inside. "that was close, taehyung. taehyung?" his eyes darted around the house.  where did his friend go?

he felt the cold wooden floor linger through his feet as he went in deeper to the home. passing by a candle that flared it's golden streaks of fire. it was calming to look at, but he had to find his friend that wondered on about. "taehyung?"

jimin found a hallway with a warm light that glowed at the end of it. perhaps, that is where his friend had wondered off to. he entered the hallway and made his way to the last door. "taehyung?"

and there he was. touching every object his eyes landed on. "what are you doing?" jimin asked.

a wide smile across taehyung's face as he grabbed a pillow from the bed. "i never knew how neat [y/n's] house would be." he sniffed the white pillow. "and he smells just like i imagined he would!"

jimin walked in the room with furrowed eyebrows, never knowing that his friend could act this way to a person he knew. "you've never been to his house before?" taehyung faced him. "no. . he never invited me to."

"why not? aren't you guys friends?"

he looked away from jimin.
"yeah. . he just doesn't know it yet."

"what? don't tell me we just broke into some strangers house!"

taehyung got up and hugged the pillow. "h-he's not a stranger! i knew him during college. he just never noticed me."

jimin rubbed his temples and heaved a sigh of disappointment. "taehyung. . we can't be in the house if he doesn't know who we are, hell, i don't even know who he is." he watched as his friend placed the pillow back on the bed.

"i know. it's just, i've liked him for a while but I never had the guts to even talk to him."

they both stared at one another.  it's had been ages since they last met, till recently taehyung found jimin in the hospital he was working as an assistant.  they remembered that day, that day where all seven of them went their separate ways, like a curse of a dying flower.

their friendship was broken.

"maybe, i can help you talk to him.  just not like this."  he chuckled softly. taehyung gave a weak smile. "yeah, you're right. i don't know why i wanted to go inside his house without permission." he looked to the side.

"now i just feel like a stalker."

jimin walked up to him and placed a hand on his friends shoulder. "it's okay. let's just get out of here before this situation becomes like some k-drama or something." they both chuckled at that.

they walked out the room and down the hall. "you think i could get some clothes after this?" taehyung looked towards his friend and chuckled.  "sure thing." he had forgotten that he helped jimin escape the hospital and he was only in a hospital gown.

as they made it to the front door, taehyung reached for the knob. that was until it started to rattle on its own.

their eyes shot wide as they faced each other with such a horrid gaze.

was he back so soon?

taehyung knew [y/n's] schedule. he had work till five o'clock in the afternoon.  it was just turning four.

so why was he home in hour early?

they both raced back to room in panic and hide in the closet.  "we're so dead." said jimin with a terrified look.  taehyung looked around the packed space they were in.  nothing but clothes hanging and boxes on the floor. 

he started pushing the boxes in a frantic manner. an attempt of trying to find a way out.  "what are you doing?"

as jimin questioned him about the strange actions, taehyung found a latch.  "finding a way out."

foots steps on creaking wooden floor could be heard and made both men shake in fear.  taehyung quickly pulled the latch open and jumped inside.  jimin was hesitant, but did the same.

one thing that was for sure.

they definitely were not his relatives.
