lost || choa&&jungkook
it is fairly late, if jungkook is being honest with himself. he doesn’t know what he’ll say in his defense if the guards he’s slipped past manage to find him again - he isn’t even supposed to be out at this hour but he can still hear the goings on of the festival from his window and he’d heard that there might be fireworks when the sun truly sets and he couldn’t resist. he only wants to feel that sense of community, that sense of bonding with people you’d never even met before that they write about so often in his books. he can hardly do that with his guards around, and besides, he reasons, it’s perfectly safe during the festival and there’s supposed to be special night markets too and he’s just so curious, he can’t help himself this time. just so long as he doesn’t get caught, he thinks - and he’s fairly certain he knows the area just around where he’s staying well enough to be able to get around on his own, he’d just had a tour the other day after all! though it seems he’s underestimated just how different things look and feel when it gets dark and everything is lit with lanterns and candles instead of the bright waning heat of the late afternoon sun and before long he finds that he’s completely turned around without a clue as to where he is or how far he’s become from where he intends to go. he’s somehow in an alley of sorts - not a back alley or anywhere shady, it’s clean, if a little dark, and a fresh breeze blows by with the scent of smoke as the air is filled with the sounds of firecrackers from somewhere nearby. with a small sigh, he gives up and turns on his heel to go back the way he came in an effort to try and retrace his steps and with any luck end up where he started. he crashes right into someone as he turns, and is sent stumbling back from the impact, a soft gasp leaving his lips, “oh gosh,” he breathes out, “i’m so sorry about that, are you okay?” he catches his breath, his heart suddenly pounding from the shock (and sudden fear, if he’s being honest), laughing sheepishly, “I’m kind of lost, if you couldn’t tell.” rgchoa
