3 A New World

"Hitman Bang?" Jungkook sounded delirious. He looked at the smug young man who had started to walk away. What?

Taehyung spoke up, "Umm, can you tell us your real name hyung?"

Hitman Bang stopped in his tracks and glared at Taehyung before answering through gritted teeth, "Its Bang Sihyuk." He continued to walk away.

At this time, the streets were extremely populated that the BTS members felt like it was when one of their fans had spotted them and soon had people surrounding the boys on all sides. They squeezed through the crowd trying to catch up to the young man claiming to be Hitman Bang, not noticing the strange looks and whispers that were directed at them.

Jungkook thought back to the fantasy novels he read in his free time. "Is this what you would call a parallel world?" He whispered to his hyungs.

Suga shot him a look. "Be real here. We've only been here for a few minutes, don't jump to conclusions."

However, Jin was thoughtful; a person with the same name as our Hitman Bang, a logo with my name, and all of this inconceivable technology... are we in the future, or are we really in a mysterious Parallel world?

"I don't like this place. My hand even got burned."Taehyung whined.

Jhope announced, "Well, this sure is a strange place. If we go back to the store, we might be able to go back home."

" Well, if it were that easy to travel to here or to Seoul, I don't think the store would be in this state and our world would probably become a mess from all of the people in this world." Jin expressed his doubts.

"...True...." Jhope said sheepishly.

Suddenly, Jimin quietly spoke. "I think I know the reason we are here."

Jungkook was shocked. "How?! And why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"Well, I just wasn't sure. Do you guys remember that music box I was holding? Well, when I opened it, the old man who was in the shop gave me a strange look and then I realized that it was daytime." Jimin said quickly.

Jin furrowed his eyebrows. " I vaguely remember you walking toward one of the aisles and picking something up, but I can't remember exactly what." He felt something was off.

RM clapped his hands and said, "We should try opening that music box again then. Let's go."

The others nodded in agreement.

The chubby young man from JinHit came squeezing through before the boys. He was sweating furiously.

"Why aren't you guys moving? I told you to follow me!" Hitman Bang looked exhausted.

Jin spoke in a polite tone, "Mr. Bang, my friends and I left something in that store," he pointed, "and we want to get it back first."

"I see. Why did you go to that store anyway? No one ever goes there. It looks so old and rundown and exudes such a gloomy aura." The man expressed his doubts.

Jin just smiled and didn't reply. He and the other members pushed their way through to store's entrance, which was quite empty compared to the other areas of the street.

When Jimin was about to open the door, Taehyung suddenly looked back.

All of a sudden, he didn't want to leave anymore; despite the fact that he had been the first one to express his dislike of this strange place. Although he couldn't explain it, it was as if he had some sort of connection to this place and couldn't bear to part with it. Taehyung closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.
