(Pretend that their ages are different. Namjoon: 20, Yoongi: 20, Taehyung: 19, Jungkook: 18, Jimin: 19, Jin: 21, J-Hope: 19, Reader: 16)

My phone began to buzz, panic set in as I had stolen it back. I rushed over and quickly answered, without checking the ID. "Hello?"

"Hey [y/n]! It's Jimin!" The upbeat voice of my best friend sounded through the phone.

"Hey! I'm kind of on lockdown right now so I can't talk long. What's up?" I rushed out.

"You're grounded!? We were going to invite you to hang out!"
"Well I kind of can't since I'm not even supposed to have this phone..." I sighed.

"It's Yoongi. Just sneak out! Come on! We're going to the beach!"

"It's like one in the morning why are you going to beach?" I questioned.

"Why not?" He scoffed.

"Anyways, I can't sneak out. That will just get me into more trouble! Remember what happened last time?" I huffed.

"Trust us okay? You'll be back before they notice. Please [y/n]?" Taehyung whined.

"Fine." I heard their cheers from the other end.

"We'll be there in 15!" Namjoon's voice came from a distance. "See you soon!"

I rushed around to get ready, careful to not make a sound. I saw the car pull in, stealthily with their lights off. I slowly slid my window open and popped out the screen, slipping out into freedom. I climbed into the car next to Jungkook. Once the door closed they began their ruckus once more.

"[y/n]! We missed you!" Jungkook cheered, putting an arm around my shoulders. They continued their merriment before Jimin tapped me on the shoulder.

"So why were you grounded after last time?"
"Oh you mean last time when we went clubbing under-aged and got arrested? Yeah gee, I wonder why." I pouted.

"C'mon you didn't even drink!" Yoongi complained.
"You certainly did. None of us are 21 except Jin, that's why I got into trouble! Did you think the cops would keep it a secret?"

"But they said they could relate to why we did it!" Taehyung pointed out.

"We still broke the law!" I whined. "Man I'm only 16 and I already have a criminal record."

"I don't understand how that went on your record. You didn't drink anything!" Namjoon exclaimed from the drivers seat.

"No but Mr. Min decided to kiss me and that's how I got a positive on the breathalizer. Thanks for that, by the way." I sassed Yoongi.

"My bad, [y/n]. You just looked so great that night!" He laughed.

"20 minutes until beach touch down!" Jin cheered.

"Isn't the beach closed?" Jungkook suddenly noted.

"Has that ever stopped us in the past?" Hoseok suddenly piped in. He had been listening to music quietly until now.

"That's true..." Jungkook laughed.

Jin turned on the radio for us to party to, the first song playing being: 

"The chorus to this relates awfully well to this." I joked.

"What you running away with a bunch of criminal drop-outs?" Hoseok asked.

"Yes, actually." I laughed.

We arrived at the beach after a jam session, all of us slipping our shoes off and running out towards the water. I dipped my toes into the water but jumped back at the coldness. I looked over and saw Jimin push Yoongi into the approaching wave, soaking him completely.

"Seriously!?" Yoongi yelled, but laughed at the same time.

"Let's go, [y/n]!" Namjoon cheered, dragging me into the water with him.

"Namjoon! It's freezing!" Jin suddenly jumped into the water with us, picking me up.

"I'll save you, [y/n]!" He laughed, carrying you out of the water and plopping you on the sand.

"Could've used a softer landing." I giggled. Hoseok and Taehyung were swinging Jungkook by his hands and feet before throwing him into the water with a loud splash. I stood up and ran over to Yoongi, poking him on the cheek.

"Tag!" I bolted, running along the shoreline, sand kicking up behind me. Yoongi was chasing behind me but soon changed targets to Jimin who was nearby. Soon enough we were all running up and down the sandy beach, our footprints being left on the sand. It was quite the image really. Like something out of a movie. We watched as the sun rose, sitting on a blanket and all cuddled under a blanket. I rested my head on Hoseok's shoulder, staring into the colorful sky.

"[y/n], what do you do at school?" Jimin asked. "How do you explain your weekend?"

"I tell the truth. My weekend? I ran away from home, had the time of my life with my best friends and got arrested. Oh and I didn't do my homework!" I laughed.

"Your parents must hate you." Hoseok chuckled.

"Nah, they have other kids they can rest their family pride on." I joked. "How come none of you go to college?"

"College? Does that seem like a place for us? So uptight and full of studying. It's also expensive." Jungkook answered.

"But you guys could go partying, learn how to have the jobs you dream of. Set yourselves up for the future."

"Yeah? How will they teach me how to be a rapper?" Yoongi asked.

"You've got a point." I sighed.

"Are you going to college?" Jin asked seriously.

"Not after that conversation!" I cheered.

"Good choice. I tried it. I hated it." Namjoon explained.

"Hey you kids! This beach is closed!" A man yelled from the road. We looked at each other, panic but adventure set in our faces. We ran over to the car, jumping in.

"Let's get out of here!" Namjoon yelled. He sped away from the beach, radio blaring and all of us laughing. We pulled over onto a mountain trial, climbing to the top.

"Now this is a much better view!" Jungkook smiled. We sat ourselves up on a rock, looking over a valley and at the sunrise.

"That's where we were just a few minutes ago!" I mused, pointing at the familiar sandy beach in the distance.

"Good riddance!" Hoseok laughed.

"Aw, those coppers will never catch us!" Yoongi joked.

"Don't be so sure. How many times have we been arrested already?" Namjoon laughed.

"More than I can count on one hand." I said seriously.

"What are we going to do when we grow up?" Taehyung suddenly asked.

"What do you mean? We're going to be together forever! Live in a big house and run away from it!" Namjoon answered from the opposite side.

"We can't always be runaways, you know?" Jin pointed out.

"Of course we can. We'll travel the world, go backpacking, but more importantly stick together. Forever and always." I whispered.

"Forever and always." They all repeated.
