Love Maze | BTS Poly

Fly to My Room

Big Hit lends Alex and me a company car to use during our stay here in Seoul. My partner always tells me how I'm a terrible driver, so he offers to take us to BTS' house.

The security at the gated community where the members live has been upped in recent months to further protect its residents. On arrival, we notify the guards of our names and that we should be on the list, as well as flash them our FBI badges. The guards permit us to enter, but they must pat us down first. Obviously, since Alex and I are special agents, we both carry a weapon. Thankfully, though, this wasn't a problem, and they returned our weapons to us once the pat-down was complete.

"That guy grabbed my butt really hard," says Alex after closing the car door.

"Maybe he thought you were cute," I jest, placing my gun back into my shoulder holster.

Alex shakes his head. "He's not my type."

"Yeah, that's because Roxy is your type."

He stares at me with a weird look on his face. "Are you on crack, Wilson?"

I chuckle. "No, I just know you like her."

"Remind me to drug test you later."

I playfully roll my eyes. "Just shut up and drive."

"You didn't tell me the address," he apprises in an annoyed tone. "On the way here, you just pointed and told me when to turn."

"It's the biggest house in the area. You can't miss it."

Within a minute or two of driving around, Alex spots the members' humble abode, realizing I was right. He then pulls into the driveway and puts the car in park. Alex opens the driver's side door to get out while I, however, remain in my seat, staring at the house I once called home through the window.

"You comin'?" my partner asks.

Alex's voice forces me out of my own thoughts. I blink a few times, trying to shake this odd, anxious feeling. "Yeah, sorry."

He leans his arms against the car, poking his head inside. "What's going on, Wilson? Why do you look so scared?"

"I'm not scared," I reply. "I just...never thought I'd be back here."

"Bad memories?"

I shrug. "In a way."

"Well, maybe you should keep those memories in the past where they belong," Alex recommends. "You don't want to compromise the investigation because of a personal matter, right?"

I nod in agreement. "Right."

"Okay, then. Let's head in."

Alex came off a little harsh, but I know he didn't mean to; he only said that so I'd stay in check. Besides, it's not like he and I are best buddies or that he has to be nice to me. We're job partners. That's it. Furthermore, Alex's personality is far different from my own, which is why we'd get along horribly if we were to have a friendship outside of work.

"Did you get the passcode from Mr. Bang?" Alex wonders once we've reached the front door.

"Yeah, he texted me the new one," I announce as I begin to punch the code in. The little tune lets us know that the password is correct, and the door unlocks. We then step inside, taking in our immediate surroundings.

"Jesus Christ," Alex gasps in awe. "This place is fucking huge."

"Has to be in order to compensate for seven people," I remark.

Eight including me back in the day.

"Alright," I go on, "you take the upstairs, and I'll take the downstairs."
