Monday 2nd September - 11 days till doomsday.

Kim namjoon sighed and sat back on the worn out leather of his black swivel chair.

He was sat in his office in the Busan Police Department with three other officers, two of whom were already fast asleep with their heads resting on their desks and paper stuck to their faces.

It was 3am. Namjoon could feel his eyes drying out with fatigue, and a headache pounding at his temples.

They had been trying to predict the whereabouts of Park Jimin for hours, and, for all the other officers, it was starting to get boring.

But Namjoon was different.

Ever since he had become head of the investigation department and taken on the infuriating NASA case, he had been filled with an unbearable need to catch whoever was responsible. He had never been so obsessed with a single case in all his years of policing.

"Boss, can we go home yet?" Sargent Kim whined. "I am so tired..."

"No Seokin. We have to solve this!"

"But we haven't got any further in the past few hours! If the world is going to be destroyed anyway, why do we need to catch this miserable pest? Why can't we just enjoy the last few days?"

Namjoon gave him a stern look and Seokjin gave up, turning his head back to the long text and photo document on the table in front of him.

"What are we even looking for?" He asked.

"This is a list of all the Park Jimins in South Korea. We have figured out that the most likely possibility is this man here" Namjoon explained, placing a fingertip on one of the photos. "We need to find out where he is."

"Can't we do this tomorrow?" Jin whined. "Everyone else is asleep already! I need my beauty sleep you know! Keeping this face pretty isn't as easy as you think!"

Namjoon chuckled and decided to give up.

"Fine, go home. But if you see anyone on the street, show them this." He ordered, handing the man a sheet of paper with the suspects face printed on it.

"It's 3am Namjoon." Jin chuckled. "Who is crazy enough to be awake at this hour?"

With that, he slung his coat over his shoulder and left.

—-***—-

Yoongi woke up at 4:30AM. His eyes were dry and sore; his head felt thick with the fogginess you get when you first wake up; his lips were cracked and in need of chapstick; his back was aching from lying on the floor and his ears were ringing painfully.

Once he had managed to fully gain consciousness, he sat up and looked around.

Then all the memories came flooding back.

He looked over to the two men lying on the bed across the room and chuckled. Jimin had his head resting cutely on the other man's chest, and Hoseok was lying with his mouth open.

"Just friends?" He whispered to himself, smirking.

He stood up and silently went over to the door. Now was his chance to escape.

To get away from these men, from Park Jimin, and from trouble.

He picked up his hoodie, checking he had money still in his wallet. Satisfied with the several 20000 won notes incased inside the leather, he silently unlocked the hotel door and slipped out without waking the two other boys.

He walked as quietly as an alley cat through the narrow hallways of the building until he found the main double doors.

Leaving through the entrance, he was hit by a wave of freezing air, making goosebumps spring up on his skin. His breath puffed out into clouds of vapor and he breathed in the chilly night.

He shivered and wrapped his hoodie tighter around himself. He didn't know where he was going to go, or what he was going to do, but he still felt that familiar zing of freedom running through his blood.

He began to walk, following the grey concrete path which was lit up by the murky,orange street lamps.

Just then he heard someone running up behind him. Yoongi tensed up and quickened his pace.

"Excuse me sir?" A man said quietly, grabbing his arm.

He sounded out of breath as if he had been running.

"Can I help you?" Yoongi asked, turning to look at the man.

He had pale brown hair much like Hoseok's, and was wearing a thick black coat over what looked like an official uniform.

"H...have you seen... this man?" The person panted, holding up a piece of paper.

Yoongi took the paper and gasped slightly as he saw the image printed on it in black and white ink.

Jimin.

His fingers went numb and he gulped, hoping the darkness covered his nervous look.

"Never seen him before in my life." He lied. "Why? Is he wanted?"

"Yes. The reward on his head is a high one." The man confirmed. "If you see him, please call this number."

He handed Yoongi a business card in return for the piece of paper. It was Matt black, with shiny gold writing on.

"Sgt K.Seokjin.
P: 07438 723852
E: [email protected]

Yoongi nodded slowly and the man smiled.

"Sorry for disturbing you this late... it's just my boss asked me to-"

Yoongi held up his hand.

"It's fine." He smiled. "I will call you if I know anything."

Jin thanked him and turned to other way to continue his walk home.

The minute the officers back turned away from him, Yoongi sprinted as fast as he could away.

He only stopped when he reached a dark, damp alleyway, leaning against one of the mossy walls. He panted to get his breath back, and took the Card out of his pocket.

Kim Seokjin...

He tore the card in half. Then half again. Then again, casting the pieces into a puddle and watching the dampness eat into them.

"Idiot..." he muttered under his breath.

He was about to keep walking when his stomach growled loudly and he moaned. He hadn't eaten anything since yesterday at breakfast, and even that was just a muesli bar.

He wandered around the streets until he stumbled upon a convenience store, which, unlike all the other shops around him, was lit up brightly with a yellowish glow.

Going inside, he found a cup ramen and a bottle of Cola. Not the most nutritious breakfast, but it would have to do.

He paid for them quickly and was about to leave the store when something caught his eye.

Another "wanted" poster.

He checked no one was looking and tore it off, flinching at the loud noise it made, but the person on the till was too occupied with playing on his phone to care in the slightest.

He wondered if Jimin and Hoseok had woken up yet... and if so, were they glad he was out of their lives?

He sat and ate his breakfast on a bench outside the store, watching the sun appear over the horizon.

Today was going to be a long day...
