~A/N: Won't have time to publish this tomorrow cause of work, so here's the update a day early! Hope you like it!

It was only when Jimin was about thirty minutes away from home that he realized he'd forgotten his cell phone. He sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair in frustration and looked around to see where he had ended up since he hadn't been paying attention while walking. He didn't recognize the street or any of the buildings, which were odd since he'd been practically everywhere within a five-mile radius of his house. Jimin continued walking while trying to figure out just where he'd ended up. The houses in the area were a little run down, the fences were broken, and the street was deserted despite it being only six.

Well, the sun had started to set so maybe it is late enough for people to avoid being out, Jimin thought to himself. Continuing on that train of thought he realized he hadn't told him grandfather he'd left, which made him groan cause he knew he'd be lectured when he returned. With a sigh, Jimin decided he should just backtrack and go home. He'd already worked off his anger with all that running anyway.

Turning around he began walking back the way he thought he came whilst trying to still figure out where he was. As he did so, he spotted a couple of teens around his age ahead of him. One girl and one boy who were talking softly amongst themselves as they walked in front of Jimin, not even noticing him. He debated if he should ask for directions from them and was about to go ask when he noticed that one of them had an orange string attached to them. Jimin paused for a moment to just stare at the orange string. Was this perhaps another one of people Gale had a string attached to? Jimin observed the person with the string.

It was the girl. She had long, golden, wavy hair that cascaded down her back and stopped at her hips that would bounce slightly as she walked. She was wearing denim booty shorts and wore fishnet stockings with a pair of converse. A snake tattoo ran along her calf which could barely be seen through the hosen. Since Jimin was walking behind them, he couldn't see her face but he could hear that she had a slight accent to her voice; it made her sound like a foreigner. The boy beside her was taller than her by at least a head. He had dyed blue hair which was styled in the back. He wore tight black jeans and a striped shirt with a snake tattoo running along his right arm that matched the one on the girl's calf. He wondered who the pair were and if they possibly knew Yoongi. He was almost certain the girl knew Gale and that whatever type of relationship she had with him was probably similar to the one Yoongi had since both had orange strings.

"Hey kid, are you following us?" the girl suddenly turned around and asked. Her face now visible to Jimin who was taken by surprise by the sudden question. The girl had a youthful look: her eyes lined in dark eyeliner which emphasized her violet eyes and the contour she used accentuated the sharp jawline and high cheekbones. She was outlandishly beautiful and yet she had this demeanor which made Jimin feel uncomfortable. It was as if she was sending warnings not to mess with her with just her posture and stern glare.

"What?" Jimin asked dumbly not fully comprehending what he'd been asked as he glanced at the male beside her who was now glaring at him as well.

"I asked if you're following us?" the girl repeated sounding pissed off.

"I wasn't," Jimin was quick to deny.

The girl's gaze narrowed on him as she tsked. "Then why have you followed us in circles? We literally made a full circle and you followed us," she accused.

Jimin hadn't even realized he had followed them, much less followed them in a circle around the block. He stared at her wide-eyed not sure what to say or how to deny the accusation.

"Listen, whoever sent you to trail us clearly is underestimating us. For your sake, I suggest you get out of here and stay away from us after telling us who sent you," the male said, his voice low and clearly threatening.

"N-no one sent me," Jimin stuttered out.

"Liar," the boy sneered at Jimin and moved forward and causing Jimin to step back to keep the distance between them. He was beginning to realize this was a very serious situation and that things could go very wrong.

"We're not going to hurt you kid, but you gotta tell us who sent you," the girl said with a sigh as she grabbed the male's arm to keep him from advancing on Jimin.

"I'm not lying. No one sent me. I didn't even notice I was following you," Jimin insisted as he backed up another step when the male growled at him. He wondered if maybe he should make a run for it, but he doubted he'd be able to run away from these two. While Jimin had great stamina and was in good health, these two looked serious and scary, plus they were in shape too.

"I'm going to give you one more chance to tell me the truth. Best head it," the girl said looking at Jimin seriously. "Who s
