I pulled up to the gas station and was met with an empty lot. I got out of my truck and walked in the convenience store, only to see a dark-eyed cashier checking his register.

Cashier: Hello, what can I help you with?

Jin: Is Kim Namjoon here?

Cashier: Namjoon? Nah, he got sent to overnight prison for punching a guy who called him a bunch of names. He'll be back tomorrow.

Jin: Thanks.

I exited the store and jumped back in my truck, speeding off to the overnight prison. I need to see Namjoon. I wondered if he knew anything about the others.

The pit in my stomach grew wider as I drove by them highway. As I got off of the bridge, it left, almost as if I left something behind on the road.

Upon arriving at the prison, I let out a nervous sigh. I don't know what I was feeling but it made me hesitant to walk through those doors. As I moved through the spindles, I was met with a woman in a gray pants suit with pitch black hair and one bow perched under her bun.

Lady: Hello?

Jin: Hi, I'm Kim Seokjin. I'm here to see Kim Namjoon.

Lady: Ok. Follow me to the meeting area and we'll see if I can get him.

I followed her to a room with 9 windows separated by poly glass and particle board. I was seated at the 3rd window and the last walked off to retrieve Namjoon.

Jin: Ok...calm down Seokjin...you got this. It's only been a couple years.

Namjoon: Seokjin?

I looked up and almost immediately began to cry.

Namjoon: Hey, don't cry. What's wrong?

Jin: I just...I'm just happy to see you. It's been so long and I've been so lonely.

Namjoon: It's ok Seokjin. Listen, when I get out of here tomorrow, I'll be with you and we can do whatever you want. I think me and you have a lot of catching up to do.

Jin: Yes, we do. Speaking of catching up, have you seen any of the others?

Namjoon: *sighs* Yoongi is doing his own thing...I don't know where he is. Rumor has it Hoseok tried underground dancing and rapping but was bullied and pushed around so much that it sent him into a depression. Jimin is going through the same thing I heard. His brother said he has self-image issues and often tried to hurt himself. As for Taehyung, no idea. Jungkook is still in school.

Jin: *spaced out*

Namjoon: You there?

Jin: I have to help them.

Namjoon: How?

Jin: I will find each of them, individually, no matter how long it takes. I will help them. I'll be there for them if no one else is.

Namjoon: Good idea. Maybe when I get out tomorrow, I can help.

Jin: I'll come pick you up. Don't worry.

With that, I waved goodbye and left the building. I jumped back into my truck and made my way back across the bridge.

As I rolled in the toll way, something caught my eye. A person was laid out on the sidewalk, right under the blazing sun. I stopped my vehicle and got out. I hopped over the barrier and signalled the security guards for help. Upon reaching the person and the turning them over, I realized who it was.

Jin: Hoseok.....
