Dancers (Vmin Vkook)

Prologue

"hey Jimin look what I found outside" a blonde boy says excitedly as he shows his friend what he's holding.

"what is it? " Jimin, a pink haired coloured male ask boredly, turning ever so slowly to glance at his friend.

"here take it, see for yourself" the blond says now shoving the piece of paper he was holding into Jimin's hands.

Jimin takes a close look at the paper, his eyes widening comically as he takes a closer look at the paper, bringing it way too close to his face than needed for him to see.

"Tae where did you get this from? " Jimin ask now sitting up straight and fully turning around to look at the blond boy beside him with a big smile on his face, a smile so contagious the blonde boy was smiling along loving every reaction he's gotten from the cotton candy haired boy.

"a man who walked into the orphanage earlier today gave it to Yu Bi, he promised to take her to that place once her adoption papers are completed but she gave it to me since she got tired of looking... hey what's wrong? " the blond stops his ranting when he noticed he other didn't have a happy smile anymore but was replaced with a deep frown adorning his face.

"what's the point of having this, I too will eventually get tired of looking at it" Jimin

say, laying back down with a deflated sigh, "it no use" he continued sadly, holding the piece of paper closer to his chest. "but thanks for this anyway, at least I can see it from afar" he say and laughs to himself "or better yet from the front view of a paper" he completed, a sad smile on his face as he traces his hands on the paper.

it might be the fact that the blond didn't like to see the other sad or because he just loves to see him happy, but at that moment he made a promise to help the other fulfill his dream.

"you will get there Jimin, I promise you" he says determined but Jimin looks at him with a teasing smile.

"and how are you going to do that? he asked playfully.

"don't worry about that, just know I'll do everything I can to get you to that dance academy" the blond says walking towards the entrance of the dorm like room with way too many beds, and as he places his hand on the door knob, he turns around

"I promise" he whispers before moving out.

Jimin who had leaned up to look at the blond as he left, finally slumps back down with a small laugh.

"oh Taehyung, you never fail to amuse me" he say with a sigh, bringing the paper with the picture of the biggest dance school in the country above his face to see and then brings it to his chest with a sigh.

"I would do anything to attend Bighit academy" he say closing his eyes "anything' he repeats before allowing the hands of sleep embrace him.

Chapter one

It's been two weeks since Taehyung made a promise to Jimin about getting him to his favorite school. and after days of constant research, he feels ready to execute his plan.

"Chim? what are you doing?" Taehyung asked surprised.

"washing clothes duh" he answered smugly, continuing to do what he was doing.

"you are supposed to be doing that with your hands and not dancing on them, you might rip them" Taehyung scolded

"hey, I'm older than you" Jimin warns playfully now dancing more aggressively on the clothes, Taehyung sighs not wanting to continue with this conversation anymore so he sits a bit farther from Jimin's washing bowl and speaks.

"I have a plan Jimin" he say cautiously not wanting others to hear him

"What plan? " Jimin asked back obviously absent minded, way to caught up in dancing which made look like a lunatic since there was no music playing from anywhere.

"a plan of leaving this place"

at this Jimin stops dancing turning around to look at Taehyung.

"how? " he asked again stepping out of his washing bowl to sit close to Taehyung.

"there is a cargo truck that leaves for the city once every two weeks, they stock goods during the intervals before leaving" he said, looking at Jimin who looks like he hadn't got a thing, his eyebrows furrowed in question.

"the plan is to leave the orphanage on the night of one of the truck's departure" Taehyung completed feeling happy when Jimin finally seemed to get it.

"really? but where is this truck"

"at the marketplace, that warehouse we ran into last year when we sneaked out".

Taehyung answered and Jimin smiled at the memory though it was faint now.

" How did you know all this Tae?"

"I asked around a bit, snuck out when everyone was too busy" Taehyung answered coyly

"what? you left without me? Jimin asked feigning hurt by putting his hand over his chest making Taehyung roll his eyes.

" I had to" he simply said pushing Jimin away when he dramatically pretended to faint on him.

Taehyung tries pushing him away but Jimin keeps struggling to put his head on Tae's lap, laughing when Taehyung groaned at his failure to push Jimin away and it was this moment that brought them happiness, when they were in their own world, just two of them, and the world around them don't matter.

they continued to play not noticing the time go by until it was getting dark.

"it's getting dark Tae, please help me wash so we can hurry up" Jimin said already getting up to continue what he was doing earlier.

"I don't want to, you never help me when it's my turn" Taehyung say resting on his elbow as he watches Jimin wash instead of dancing.

"please Tae, just this once" Jimin pleads with his whiny voice knowing Taehyung wouldn't refuse him.

"Ugh fine, just today" Taehyung clarified before moving towards him to help him.

they played a little, but finished non the less before taking the long route back to the dorms.

"so when are we leaving Tae? " Jimin asks as walk.

"the next truck leaves tomorrow night, so I think we should leave with the one after this one" Taehyung commented thoughtfully.

"that means in two weeks times? " Jimin asked.

"yes, that way we get to prepare... hey why did you stop? " taehyung asked when he saw the other lagging behind.

"Chim what..?

"Let's leave tomorrow Tae"

"what? but isn't that too sudden? we won't have enough time to prepare anything". Taehyung said

" what is there to prepare for? we don't have much, tomorrow morning we can grab all we have into a sack and by night we are gone" he said calmly but Taehyung could pick up the hint of desperation in his voice. "we don't have to wait for another two weeks before leaving Tae, what do you think? " Jimin asked with hopeful eyes and Taehyung can not stand being the one to crush his hope even if he thinks this idea is absurd.

"fine, I guess we could do that, and we don't have to raise suspicion so we have to be careful" Taehyung said and was surprised when Jimin pulled him into a hug, one so tight he could hear his bone crack.

"thank you so much Tae, you've done so much for me, I don't know how I'll ever pay you back" Jimin said, voice slightly muffled by the clothing on the crook of Taehyung's neck where he buried his face.

"You don't have to pay me back Chim, this is what friends do for each other" he says bringing Jimin's face away from his neck to look at him in the eye.

"and you're my best friend" taehyung completed and this time Jimin hugs him tighter chanting "thank you" into his ears like a prayer.

The next day Jimin walked around animatedly, partly because he didn't get an ounce of sleep and because he didn't want to raise suspicion.

night came and it was time to leave, they expertly snuck out of the orphanage easily since they have been doing for a long time now.

"wow I can't believe we're leaving" Jimin said clutching his little sack close to his chest

"well you better believe it because we here at our transport to the city" Taehyung said quietly since it was pretty late and most people had resigned for the night"

they managed to sneak into the warehouse through the backdoor that was poorly constructed and also got into the large truck with variety of goods in it, they cleared a spot at the back, dropping their sack and sitting on the floor of the truck.

"Taehyung what if this is a big mistake? "

Jimin asked bringing his knees closer to his face as he hugs them and Taehyung smiled at him, trying to straighten his confidence.

"it's never a mistake when you're trying to fulfill your dreams Jimin" Taehyung said, feeling satisfied when he saw the smile appearing on Jimin's face.

"now sleep, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow Chim"

"goodnight Tae"

"good night"

and so they went to sleep not knowing what awaits them in the future but wishing for the best.

Chapter two

The vigorous shaking of the truck woke them up and they supposed it was already morning judging by the light that sips in through the binds covering the truck.

they stretched their limbs which felt numb from sleeping on a hard surface, struggling to adjust their eyes to the light.

"when did the truck start moving" Jimin asked still yawning and feeling the need to go back to his sleep that was rudely interrupted by the moving vehicle.

"I don't know, I fell asleep almost immediately after we came in..." he was interrupted when the car shakes more almost throwing him off-balance, the goods in the truck almost colliding with them.

"what the..? are they trying to kill us? " Jimin whisper yelled using his hand to block the cargos from sandwiching him with the truck. he hears Taehyung groans and he knows he's in a similar situation as he is.

this went on for quite some time, they only had time to rest when the truck was seemingly on a smooth path. it was during one of their resting episodes that Jimin's stomach growls and he threw his head back with a low sigh, he didn't know the journey would take so long.

"here Chim" Jimin turned around to see Taehyung, hand stretched out to offer him two loafs of bread. he reached out to get it watching as Taehyung reached into his bag to get two more loafs for himself and a bottle of water.

"you really came prepared Tae" Jimin comments smiling at him when he saw how he quickly stuffed his face with the bread making him look like a chipmunk while he takes his time to chew his, appreciating the way the bread makes his stomach hurt less.

"of course I did" Taehyung answered after gulping down almost half the water content in the bottle and Jimin watch as he tries to close the bottle, his hands moving faster than usual and his eyes blinking repeatedly.

"Tae, are you nervous" Jimin asked and Taehyung looks up at him.

"No" he answered quickly but at the stern face Jimin gave him he recoiled, nodding his head not quite meeting Jimin's eyes. at this Jimin sighs moving closer to him.

"don't be Tae, it's going to be okay" he says as he brings Tae to a side hug, the best he could reach in their limited space.

"I know it will be okay Chim, it's just... what are we going to do once we reach there, we don't have a place to stay and we might get lost, what if the nuns start looking for us and we get into trouble and... "

"Taehyung" Jimin cuts him off, holding his face between both of his palms so he could look at his face.

"if you were so scared why did you do this Tae?" Jimin asked softly caressing his cheeks.

"I want you to be happy Chim and if doing this makes you happy then I'm okay, I don't regret this, it's just"

"shhh, it's okay" Jimin assures, kissing his cheek "everything is going to be alright okay? he asked and Taehyung smiled hugging Jimin back, hiding his face in his chest so he wouldn't see the pink color dusting over his cheeks.

they fell asleep again since the truck began to drive smoothly and by the time they woke up it was already dark outside.

" I think we're in Seoul already Tae" Jimin states, getting into a kneeling position to look out of the truck the best he could.

Taehyung was about to make a comment when a loud voice outside boomed over his.

"Hey we are here, but it's too late to start unloading, so we'll leave it till tomorrow, come on boys, let's go" he said before the sound of footsteps moving away from the truck could be heard and once every where was silent, The boys took it as their cue to get down, taking their things with them.

Jimin gets down first, looking around before helping a much slower Taehyung get down. they walked slowly and silently so they won't get caught.

once they saw a door, they ran towards it trying to push it open but it won't bulge and so after a few minutes of trying they gave up.

"we should just spend the night here Chim then tomorrow once they open the door, we'll make a run for it" Taehyung said looking around the place they currently are, which is no doubt a warehouse, the bulky goods and trucks giving it away.

Taehyung finds a spot and walked over, dropping his bag and using it as a pillow to support his head.

"Tae"

"hmm? "

"are you sleeping? "

"about to, why? "

"nothing, but aren't you tired of sleeping, that's what we've been doing since last night" Jimin says looking down at him softly.

"I'm still tired Jimin and I feel like sleeping more" Taehyung says, words heavy with sleep "you should go to bed too, it's already late" he continued

Jimin chuckled, sitting close to Taehyung and began playing with his hair.

"I can't sleep Tae, cause I'm too excited, I can't wait to leave here and see the beautiful world behind this door, to take a step closer to my destiny. this is like a dream come true Tae and I don't know what I would do without you... " he was interrupted by the snores Taehyung was letting out, obviously too asleep to listen to Jimin talking.

Jimin smiles, laying next to Taehyung so he could see his face, different emotions swimming in his eyes. and somewhere into the night he also falls asleep.

the next day the sound of metals clanging woke them up, Jimin being the first to wake up shakes Taehyung awake so they could hide before the door open.

a man threw the door open and starts moving in followed by more men behind him. once the men were close to the truck seemingly discussing something, Jimin grabbed Taehyung's hand and dashes out the door, nobody notices. they ran laughing as they go, the feeling of freedom was euphoric to them and at this moment they felt the happiest.
