Chapter Eleven: Enough Running

                                    

                                          


                          


                          
Jungkook let out a hum as he looked around the book store Sam, Edgar, and him ran into. It was small and very well hidden but there were loads of books, some that seemed very interesting. "Do you think Helen would like to come here?" Sam asked as she looked at all of the different genres. "Maybe, we can ask her when we see her later today." Jungkook smiled at her enthusiastic look. He's glad that she got along with Helen, who wouldn't? Helen was a great and caring person. Anyone would be blind if they couldn't see it themselves. 
                          


                          


                          
Jungkook was, to say the least, happy. It's been another month here in District Four, a month since Jungkook and Taehyung had been spending almost every single waking hour with each other. At first he was nervous that maybe Taehyung would act distant since the kiss they shared but thankfully, he wasn't at all. They actually shared a few other kisses here and there. Whenever Jungkook thinks about them, he can't help the blush that rises on his cheeks. 
                          


                          


                          
"Come on, we should get going." Jungkook nodded and followed Edgar and Sam out of the bookstore. It was the weekend, a very hectic time to be around the center of the District but Sam wanted to look around, especially when she found out that Helen's birthday was right around the corner. Jungkook was also considering getting something for her but he quickly realized that he didn't really have to buy anything. 
                          


                          


                          
Sam offered to buy it for him but in Jungkook's eyes, that defeated the purpose of buying something from him. So instead, thanks to Edgar's words, he decided to make something. What? He didn't know but he still had a few days to think about it. "Alright, I think it's best to drop these off at home before we make our way to Helen's house." The three made their way onto the main street, ready to make their trip home when Jungkook noticed footsteps behind them. 
                          


                          


                          
At first, he pulled it off to people getting by but when Jungkook discreetly turned his head back to look at the person a little bit behind him, he noticed that it was a man he saw before. 'That man. . . I saw him yesterday. . .' Jungkook thought in his head. "Come on Jungkook, let's go!" Sam yelled when she realized that Jungkook was dozing off. "You okay?" "Yeah. . . I'm fine." Sam felt concerned but trusted Jungkook to let her know if something was really off. "Okay, then let's go."
                          


                          


                          
Jungkook had a bad feeling but he really hoped he was wrong. A frown was permanently on his face the entire way home. He couldn't shake that feeling off. 'It's nothing, everything will be fine.' Jungkook kept repeating, trying to reassure himself that everything was indeed fine but he knew that wasn't the case when he saw the same man when they walked out of their house. Only this time, the man was leaning next to a car, talking on his phone. 'Something's not right.' It wasn't a coincidence that Jungkook saw the same man day after day.
                          


                          


                          
He would know if they were neighbors since Jungkook has been here for a total of three months. No, something was definitely going on. "Sam. .." Sam hummed, not turning to look at him. She stopped though, when Jungkook placed his hands on her arm, turning her so that she looked into his eyes. "Sam. . . I need to go." "What?" She replied with a confused frown. "What do you mean?" "I think. . . I think they found me." 
                          


                          


                          
"Found you? Who found you-?" Jungkook shh'd her softly, giving her a serious expression. "Go to Helen. . . tell her that I think the State Officials found me. I can't stay here anymore. . . tell Taehyung that I'll try to come back. I just need to leave and lose them and then I'll. . . I'll come back." Sam was outright nervous, scared, and worried but she nodded her head, understanding the situation. "How're you going to lose them?" She asked silently as they began their walk out of the gate's house.
