Woods

@[W]Hara He chuckled in his thoughts, seeing Hara panicing slowly but surely. It didn't remind him even a single bit of the girl he knows so well. It was like she changed from a threatening wolf into a cringing, little sheep within seconds. Truthfully it even amused him a bit.
He smiled a little to himself, before he changed his hideaway again. His goal for todays hide and seek was seeing Hara begging him to come out from his hiding spot. Or hearing her saying "You got better at hiding". That was okay too.

@[R]Yoongi Hara began to panic when she could not find him even after ten minutes into the game.
He wasn't in his usual corners, and who knows where else that guy could be? He definitely has improved his hiding skills. But it only made her feel more competitive she can't lose.
She won't lose.

@[W]Hara Yoongi held his breath, while she was counting to ten. He remembered every single time they played hide and seek here. Every hiding spot, every shared laughter, every strawberry flavoured lollipop he had to buy her.
When she was somewhere in the half of counting, he moved from the tree he was standing by to the nearest one on his left as noiselessly as he could. He was hoping, that Hara wouldn't hear any move he made.
This time, I'm the one who wins, he tbought to himself, a smile appearing on his face.

@[R]Yoongi "You're sounding confident." She smirked, slightly amused by his sudden boldness. "But that's fine with me."
She watched him go run and immediately closed her eyes. They never did decide who should hide and who should seek, but then it was obvious that Yoongi wanted to hide in the first place. There was no need for words.
"One..." started to count. "Two..." She listened out for the sound of breathing, rustling of leaves, and footsteps. "Three..." she suddenly lost track of all audio indications of another human's presence. By the time she reached eight, she bit her lip, worried that she would finally lose to him. "Nine..." she took a deep breath. "Ten." her eyes fluttered open and she scanned the area, listening out for the sound of breathing, but could detect none, even when she began to walk around.

@[W]Hara "I won't. This time you lose, you'll see" Yoongi said, raising one eyebrow and looking at her with a slight smile. He sighed and added "It's better when we choose the punishment after the loser is set."
Then he just turned around on his heel and headed to the part of the woods, where the trees grew bigger and more abundant.
"Start counting!", he shouted over his shoulder before disappearing behind the nearest tree, ready to swap hiding spots within the next few seconds.

@[R]Yoongi "Is it really?" She asked coldly, remembering the times her mother had hidden from her before finally taking off. "I think that fighting is always better that hiding." a pause followed her words. It took her a moment before she could shrug off the thoughts and return to Yoongi.
"Getting too old for lollipops now, are we?" she steps ahead of him and turns to face him, smirking back at him. "Your call. I'll win anyway, so I'll let you choose the punishment." She brings two fingers to her temple and saluted him, winking playfully.

@[W]Hara He sighed and smiled slightly.
"Hiding is way better than beating someone up, you know" he said, putting his hands into his pockets, fighting the urge to bite his lower lip. Playing hide and seek was something like their tradition. And even though he grew up a lot, those hours of running around the woods and hiding were something he longered a lot.
"Yeah, sure. The winner always got a lollipop, remember? What will the winner get this time?" he smirked, stopping and glancing at her.

@[R]Yoongi "Yep," she grinned, laughing at the memories of instinctively finding his hiding spots. "Maybe I am a wolf, sniffing out scents..." she jokingly sniffed into the air, then towards him as if she was some sort of creature. "Those were good times..." she trailed off, smiling to herself.
At his statement, she widened her eyes. "Really? That's great. I suppose those Reds are useful for something..." she joked to avoid the tingling sense all over her body that was caused by his expression. "You'll start bleeding if you keep biting your lip." she said to help her concentrate once again.
An idea pops into her head a few steps later. "Ah, want to play again for old times' sakes?"

@[W]Hara Yoongi smiled and walked along besides her.
"Yeah, sure thing. I lost all the time, because you always knew my hiding spots", he chuckled, letting the memories slide into his mind. He took a deep nreath and closed his eyes for a moment.
"And believe me or not, but I've got better at hiding", he added, opening his eyes and he bit his lip, looking at her.

@[R]Yoongi She tutted at his reaction before smiling, nodding as if to agree with his point. "Sure, just finding out people's secrets, taking 'trash' out, dealing with mafia and thugs, fighting, running from the police..." smirks at him, clearly teasing. "So monotonous." she chuckles along.
"A walk? Sure." she nods again, and began to walk, extending a hand out as she did so and lightly grazing her fingers over the trees that they passed, memories of their past slowly playing out in her head. "Do you remember when we played hide-and-seek here?"

@[W]Hara "Yeah, remember" he rolled his eyes. Honestly he was still reminding her choke hold, even thinking about that made him feel like someone was suffocating him.
He cleaned his throat before he anwsered.
"Pretty much the same. A gangsters life is so monotonus" he said jokingly, chuckling. Yoongi looked around and bit his lip.
"How about going for a walk?", he asked, pointing the way deeper in the woods, not really sure what to do or talk about.

@[R]Yoongi "Me. I lead this pack, remember?" she answered, blinking. It was such a silly question.
Now that they have finally met, Hara felt awkward. She couldn't fathom the fact that she has her best friend back. She didn't even know how to speak to him now. All she could do was to give him small talk.
"I've been good, thanks. You know, sneaking around, doing jobs..." she nodded, leaning against a tree with her hands behind her back, using it to swing herself back and forth from it. "You?"

@[W]Hara Yoongi shakes his head and chuckles.
"And who says that, huh?", he asks smiling. After a while he lowers his arms and approaches her, looking her in the eyes.
"How have you been?", he bites his lower lip, still a little bit confused that everything between them is alright now.

@[R]Yoongi Hara couldn't help but laugh from her hiding spot.
"Of course I would! It's what we do. We find information and do as we wish."
She steps out and grins at him. "You're a walking hazard, Yoongi."

@[W]Hara He was completely immersed in his thoughts when suddenly his phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and checked the new message. A big smile appeared on his face. He put the phone back again and looked round. Hara has sent the messages before, he finally was sure about it. After he beheld her, he smiled even more widely.
"And you dare to misuse the power of knowing a Reds number?" he asked loudly, so Hara can easily hear him, and crossed his arms.

Hara walked through the woods with a spring in her steps this time, humming to herself. She had been in a great mood lately after the whole mess with Yoongi. She was particularly happy today because she managed to track down his number and had been pranking him. It was juvenile, yes, but she felt youthful around him. Maybe it was because his memories are some of the best memories she had, and remembering wasn't as painful as other things these days.
She spots him leaning against a tree, and decided to abuse her knowledge of his number one last time.
"So you actually would meet up with a stranger in the Wolves' territory, huh?"
She typed into her phone, pressing send.

@[W]Hara -some days after-
Yoongi was going through the woods again. But this time it wasn't just for a walk. How to say - he was obeying a text message he got some hours before. He was reading the message again and again. It wasn't signed by anybody and the number was unfamilar for him. He sighed loudly and put his phone in the pocket of his red jacket.
Yoongi arrived at the place he and the "stranger" would meet some minutes earlier than he should, so he leaned on the nearest tree and waited.

@[R]Yoongi She took a few steps forward before stopping, realising Yoongi wasn't following her. She turned to him after hearing his sigh.
"Ah..." She smiled sadly. "Sure. I'll see you soon, Yoongi-ah." she took one last look at him before leaving.

@[W]Hara Yoongi smiled sadly before he nodded and stood up too. Afterwards he took a deep breath and sighed loudly.
"It's better if you go first, alone. I mean, you know..." he mumbled, scratching his neck and biting his lower lip.

@[R]Yoongi She nodded a little.
"You can be such an sometimes." she chuckled, taking her phone out to check the time.
"I'm going to be late..." she furrowed her brows in concern. "I hope nobody will come and check up on me." she tilted her head and stood, wiping her eyes. "God, that was emotional. I'm never doing that again." she said half-jokingly. "Come on, let's go."

@[W]Hara "I'm not cheesy, I'm trying to be serious here" he unwilingly chuckles too. Once she said her last sentence, he relucantly lets go of her and turns his head to see if none was around. After he hasn't faced anybody Yoongi looks at Hara again, giving her a slight smile.
"You okay now?" he asks, pointing at her with his chin.

@[R]Yoongi Hara simply hit him again.
"Stop talking." she mumbles into his shirt, burying her head further into his chest.
"It's too cheesy." she chokes out a laugh, although she was curious as to what he would say next.
"Oh god, I hope nobody sees us..." she groaned, pulling away slightly.

@[W]Hara Yoongi breathed heavily when he finally recognized that she was crying.
"I thought that it wouldn't even bother you, seeing me again. Damn, have I been afraid of that. It was literally killing me not being able to talk with you. And everytime our gangs accidentally met I just waited for the moment I could see you again, and..." he stopped talking, getting to know that what he was saying now sounded like a confession. They haven't been talking for so damn long, why was he telling her everything he felt back then?

@[R]Yoongi Hara wasn't sure what else to say. He apologised, and what now? It wasn't like she still hated him. But she was also still angry.
She closed her eyes and leaned her head on his shoulder, letting him embrace her. At least this way she could hide her face.
"What took you so bloody long to come back?" she whispered through her tears, hitting him in the chest.

@[W]Hara Yoongi closes his eyes, trying not to burst into tears and apologize her for every single suffer he made her feel.
"I'm so sorry Hara. I didn't meant to hurt you. I wouldn't do that, never" he mumbles, letting out a quiet sigh. Not knowing what else to say, he simply hugged her. At some point he felt bad for hoping this moment could last forever. But once he finally could embrace Hara in his arms Yoongi wished he didn't have to let her go again.

@[R]Yoongi The feeling of his arms around her rendered Hara useless. She simply drew her knees into herself.
"You're what's wrong." she mumbled to herself. "I was fine before I bumped into you earlier and now..." she sighed, shaking her head. She didn't know anymore.
"You were gone for so long... You have no idea how much it hurt when I saw you with those damn Reds." she could feel her eyes begin to tear up, and she frowned, scolding herself. "Goo Hara, you idiot. Why the hell are you tearing up?" she buried her face into her hands, frustrated by her own mixed feelings.

@[W]Hara He bit his lower lip again, expecting her scoff or laugh him down. But neither of that happened. He raised his vision in disbelief. Seconds later the girl grasped her head and went down to the ground. Yoongi stared at her, totally taken aback. At some point he vigorously shook his head and went on his knees. And before he knew what he was doing, he embraced Hara with his arms.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he unwilingly said in a soft voice, like he already forgot about everything what happened long before their accidental meeting in the woods.

@[R]Yoongi Hara stepped back in defense. Ugh. Friendship and trust... she wasn't sure if she bought into those, but something in Yoongi made her want to. She frowned. Always. He always did this to her. Made her want to give up everything to be with him.
She stayed quiet for a moment, not wanting to say anything. She would just end up ruining this moment. Yoongi doesn't normally talk about this kind of stuff, not with her.
"Friendship..." she said, the word strange in . She no longer had them. She had underlings. "And trust..."
She clutched her head in frustration and dropped to the ground.

@[W]Hara He sighed loudly, before he replied.
"I haven't shown up, cause I was scared you would really ditch me, or that you wouldn't even want to see me", he mumbled and hid his hands in the pockets of his jeans. When Hara asked him the other questions Yoongi's face went even more red.
"I mean our friendship, our trust in each other and so on" he stuttered, biting his lower lip. And after some time he even forced himself to give Hara a quick look, hoping he doesn't look faint or abashed. Talking about feelings and thoughts has never been Yoongi's speciality and right now he was killing himself in his mind for bringing both of them in this kind of situation.

@[R]Yoongi "Behaved like an ? I could forgive you for that, but I've not seen you for what feels like forever and the only news I heard was that you joined those ing reds." she crossed her arms. She felt guilty, but it needed to be said. She was never the one to hold back negative feelings.
"What was between us?" she blinks in disbelief. "Was there anything between us? Because it didn't seem so." she shrugs.
