Jb pov ~

I felt panicked as they left. I would have to work with JR to find this key. I couldn't even meet his eyes. I could literally feel the anger radiating off of him.I decided to speak up first ,".... JR. I know we're having difficulties right now. But we need to work together to leave in one piece. You want to go to got7 and I want to go to Jimin so can we please put our heads together and figure out this riddle? Okay?" I said.

He spoke up," I see you're buddy buddy with Jimin now. Why don't you text him the riddle it seems he's the only one you talk to nowadays," JR muttered. I sighed, why was he always so stubborn? But even worse he was petty. He has been since like forever.

*flashback**6 years ago*

"Yo Jr! Watcha doing?" I asked as I noticed Jr had stopped walking as he looked through a store window. I walked back to him. "Watcha looking at?" I asked. He turned to me ," I want that," he said pointing to the silver chain located in the window in front of the jewelry store. "Do you have the money?" I asked.

He pulled out his wallet and opened it. When he pulled everything out of his wallet he only had three pennies and a bus pass.

"Hyungggg will you get it for me?" He asked pouting. I looked at him and got close to him until we were only
Inches apart ," I would but I don't have $300 just laying around," I muttered turning around. I smirked as I heard him stomp his feet. "That's not fairrrr" he cried. "JR I'll get it for you when I can afford it," I said. He folded his arms and huffed and puffed walking behind me.

About ten minutes later I turned back towards him ," Oh will you get over it? Buy a cheap one , the fake ones are only like $20 ," I said. He glared at me ," Can I borrow your phone?" He asked holding out his hand. I raised an eyebrow but I gave it to him. He walked ahead of me but I noticed he wasn't calling anybody.

About five minutes later he handed it back to me. "What were you do-" I stopped mid sentence looking at my phone's lock screen.

Too many failed attempts to unlock. Please try again in 5,830 minutes

I looked up to JR who still had his armed crossed. "Really? You had to lock my phone for almost 4 days?!" I said loudly. "That's what you get for not  buying me that chain," he muttered strolling off. Ugh why was he so petty? I just wished he'd disappear out of my life sometimes.

*end of flashback*

I snorted. If that me could see me now. He would've bought JR that chain and 5 more just like it. The sad thing is I never went back to get it for him. At least It's the same old petty stubborn JR though. "What are you laughing at? We have to get out of here," he muttered. "I literally just said that," I said rolling my eyes. "Whatever," he muttered looking away.

"Okay JR listen. We are going to put our hatred for eachother away for the moment. After we get out of here we don't have to see eachother again," I said looking at him. He sighed and nodded. "Let's think about this riddle. Let's break it into pieces okay?" I asked. He nodded.

"In the past there will be, a letter of secrecy. It is found , where you lounge," I muttered remembering it exactly. "So it's a secret letter from a long time ago. Which means not a lot of people know about it," JR said. "We lounge. Where we lounge. A couch? A chair? A bed?" I asked. "A bed. I have this gut feeling it's a bed," he said. It looked like he was trying to remember something.

"From the ground, you may see, months have past since use of thee," I repeated. "From the ground. So if we lay on the ground we can see it?" JR asked. "Maybe. So a letter found on a bed that you can see from the ground?" I said putting it together. "Months have past since use of thee. Use of what?" I wondered. "The bed! Months have passed since use of the bed!" He said. I smiled , it made sense. I Havnt used my bed in months. But I want to put together the rest of the riddle.

"In the letter you will find a key, the note however , you may not see," I whispered. "Like you said, in the letter we will find a key, but the note we can't read," he said. "Why can't we read it?" I asked. "Maybe it's private?" JR asked.

"Some may not want one to read, at least until time we no longer need," this time he muttered the riddle. "So somebody doesn't want the other to read. That means it's either something I don't want you to read , or something you don't want me to read. Something under a bed not used in months," I said.

"The letter holds an important secret, known by all except one," JR said ignoring what I just said. "So it's known by all the members except one person. Well it has to be me right? There must be something in that letter you don't want me to see?" I asked. His face went pale as he stared into space.

"To find the key , is the task. The letter however, will pull down a mask," JR whispered to himself under his breath. "The key is in a letter , under my bed, that you put there years ago. Right? Does it ring a bell?" I asked. He slowly nodded.

Before I knew it I was being dragged upstairs as he ran, obviously not realizing we were stuck together. Before I knew it we were in our old room and I was tumbling to the floor for the third time today as he got on his knees next to my bed. Today was just not my day.

He laid back and slipped under the bed before coming out with an envelope. "What's so important I can't see?" I asked. He stayed quiet before muttering ," it's none of your business." He opened the envelope and pulled out the key ignoring the letter in the envelope. He smiled ," Yes! We're free!" He screamed happily.

I tried to keep it in but he was so adorable I burst out laughing. Before I knew it we were both on the floor laughing. The laughter calmed down as JR unlocked our hands. "So ... Can I see that letter?" I asked grabbing for the envelope in the corner. He got there before me and locked it in the drawer next to his bed. "Not now. Not ever," he said. I sighed before smiling ," Why not?" I asked. "I'll give you the letter when I feel you should have the letter," he said. "Ha! So you do still care about me!" I said. "Not that much," he muttered. "You liar," I smirked.

We were silent for a second before we sat down on the floor across from eachother. "JB I'm going to say something and you're gonna listen okay?" He said sternly. I nodded, not the first time I've heard that. "JB....I just wanted to say.... I've acted immature for the last few months..... I know you've changed. You're finally the guy I used to be in lo- I mean.... We loved. And I was just wondering ..... Would you maybe.... Want to join got7 again?" He asked slightly shy.

I thought for a second. "JR...... Thanks for the offer. But JR.... What you guys said really hurt me. You guys left me when I needed you. You guys were my only friends and instead of helping me figure out what I was doing wrong you just left. I hurt Jimin more than anybody and even he didn't leave me. JR you guys will always have a special place in my heart but.... I just can't go back. You make a great leader JR. And I hope one day you'll find somebody to replace me. I'm sorry for how I've acted these past few years but going back will ruin all of my hard work I've done for the last few months. Goodbye JR," I finished walking out the bedroom door leaving him speechless.

When I walked out the front door I noticed the members were still there staring at me. Their smile fell as they saw I left to go to the bus stop so I could head home. It's been a long day and it's not even noon. I miss when things were simple.

:hey guyssss omg so only like 15 or so chapters left of this fic. I was hoping for it to be like a 100 chapter fic. Like 99 real chapters then an epilogue to set up the sequel. Idk I'll try to space it out a little more. Also btw since this fic doesn't have much left here's a secret. For these titles people think I put a lot of work into naming them but really I pick a random word and name it there's actually no correlation cause I'm lazy.
