Summary:

Taehyung's taken under the wings of Namjoon and his groupchat filled with dysfunctional misfits – people trying to find their places in life.

He thinks it'd be an easy distraction.

(Here's a secret: he hadn't expected it to make old hurts feel again.)

Joonie added Taehyung to BoyswithWUT
 
Joonie:
hi, taehyung! 
it's kim namjoon! :) 
 
Taehyung:
ahhh
kidnapper hyungnim, hello
 
Hobi:
CLOCK HIM HAHAHA

(Here's a secret: he hadn't expected to bloom. Taehyung bloomed.)

Previously titled "Oh No, I Didn't Mean to Kidnap You!" by Honeytussle. Has undergone name changes because of pedantry.

On a hiatus because life. Not abandoned.

Notes:

live, laugh, love taehyung.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Notes:

Chapter Text

Lost myself, seventeen
Then you came, found me
No other magic could ever compare.

For as long as I live and as long as I love
I will never not think about you.

-Lauv, Never Not. ⋆
