Chapter Text
Yoongi plopped his head down onto the back of his car seat, exhausted. They were on the quiet road back from promoting at Music Bank. He turned to observe the other members. Taehyung was absentmindedly staring out the window, wearing a black expression. Namjoon was listening to his music, headphones on, as he softly hummed along to the melody, tapping his fingers to the beat. Jimin, Hoseok, Seokjin, and Jungkook had already fallen asleep.
It was moments like this that brought content smiles to his face, even as his own eyes threatened to close. These were the people he spent almost all his time with, both while awake and asleep. He thought, Even if I can’t go back and change all the regretful moments of my life, it would be fine, because otherwise, I might not have met these six boys.

“Hey guys, have you seen Jungkook?” Seokjin asked when they got home. “I was going to ask him if I could borrow one of his shirts, but I can’t find him anywhere…”
Yoongi frowned, scratching at his shirt drowsily. The boy would turn up sooner or later. Chances were, he was probably holed up in some small space, fast asleep.
“Huh?” Namjoon asked from across the room, caught off guard. “Check the practice room. He probably fell asleep in there again.”
“I have,” the eldest said worriedly. “And I checked the washroom, all the bedrooms, literally everywhere, but I still can’t find him.”
Namjoon sprang up from his seat with a frown. “That’s weird… Hobi, have you seen Jungkook?” he called.
Hoseok’s eyebrows shot up. “No… I haven’t. I didn’t even see him brush his teeth. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen him ever since we got out of the car… I’m gonna go ask Taehyung and Jimin.” He turned to Yoongi. “Did you see him?”
“No,” Yoongi said, scrunching his brows together to think back to when they had left the car. “I saw him leave the car and I’m almost certain I saw him come into the building. Where could he be?”
When they realized no one knew Jungkook’s current whereabouts, they decided to inform their managers and look for him.
Namjoon said, “Jimin, you stay here in case Jungkook returns. If he does, call any one of us. Hobi and Taehyung, head north to search for him. Yoongi hyung, could you check south? Jin hyung, could you come with me and check east? The manager hyungs said they would check west.”
All in agreement with the plan, they set off.
Yoongi grumbled, “If this is a hidden camera prank, I seriously… just no.”
