THIRTY SEVEN: TAMING THE BEAST

THIRD PERSON POV

"Hahaha! From now on, you all are gonna be under me! You're all so weak," This Seokjin guy said and Namjoon hid behind Jihoon even more.

"That guy sure is a pain in the ass," Jihoon clicked his tongue as he stared at the bigger guy.

"He's a built like a cannon alright," Yeonjun sighed and Seokjin turned towards that quiet guy who just arrived.

"Aww? A newcomer? How nice," Seokjin said and the guy called Yoongi looked up as he stared at him.

"What are you staring at?" Seokjin said before he suddenly threw a punch at Yoongi's face, which taken him aback and sent him flying since he wasn't expecting it.

"Ah! That guy!" Yeonjun said as his mouth hung open.

"Haha! That's so easy! He didn't even put up a fight!" Seokjin said.

"He flew two meters!" Namjoon eeped, and Jihoon stared at Seokjin hardly before suddenly dashing towards his directon.

"Jihoon?! Are you committing suicide or something?!" Yeonjun said as his eyes widened.

"J-j-j-jihoon! He is insane! Nuts! Out of his mind! Beyond stupidity! And I'm the dumbass!" Namjoon said as he saw Jihoon bolt towards Seokjin.

Then, Jihoon launched himself up high before sending a kick right at Seokjin's face, sending him to the ground. And Jihoon landed cleanly behind him.

"Tsk, if only my twin was here, we'd already taken you down in one go," Jihoon said and Seokjin slowly got up, his face bruised.

"That's the infamous Jeon Jihoon I always heard about?"

"He really does live up to his name! Took down Seokjin with a kick!"

"Are you okay?" Jihoon asked as he held his hand towards Yoongi, and Yoongi smiles softly before taking his hand and pulling himself up.

"Not even a scratch," Yoongi replied as he stood beside Jihoon, and they stared into the tall guy called Seokjin.

"I hope you know how to fight, Yoongi," Jihoon said and Yoongi cracked his knuckles before glancing at Jihoon.

"I'm not rumoured to be the yakuza's dog for nothing, all-star," Yoongi smirked and Jihoon grinned.

"So it is true. But first, we need to atleast take this guy down," Jihoon said and Yoongi noddded as Seokjin bolted towards them, baring fists.

Jihoon dodged his punch swiftly before Yoongi lunged behind Seokjin, locking his arms behind his back before Jihoon sent a blow to his stomach and kicking him down, sending him to the ground.

"Agh...," Seokjin let out as he coughed. And Jihoon looked at Yoongi before sticking his hand towards him.

"Jeon Jihoon, nice to meet you," Jihoon smiled and Yoongi smiled back before taking his hand.

"Min Yoongi," he replied as Seokjin slowly got up, but he wasn't aggressive this time, but his eyes softened as he looked down at the ground.

"Hey listen here, coconut tree," Jihoon said as he crouched down pointing his index finger on Seokjin's forehead.

"I might be a money grubber and stuff, but you should never bare your fists at anyone who's innocent, and weaker than you. You use your strength for protecting others, not for being the leader, at the end of the day, it's those weak people who got your back," Jihoon said before slowly standing up.

As he turned his back towards Seokjin, the tall guy slowly positioned himself into a bowing position, lowering his head down the the ground.

"Jeon Jihoon," Seokjin said, and Jihoon turned his head sideways.

At that very point, something was filled in Seokjin's heart and mind.

Respect is what it's called. As Jihoon said those words, he felt like he has seen a new light.

"I.... have seen that strength. Not the kind of strength where people beat people for power, but the kind of strength that fills you with self-reflection and kindness. So right here and right now...," Seokjin said as he looked up at him.

"I am sorry. And.... I've gained so much respect for you that I want to put my dedication to you, my life is in the sake of your hands now," Seokjin muttered and Jihoon looked at Seokjin.

"If there ever is a way for me to redeem or to make me reflect on my actions, I want it to be done by you, Mr. Jeon Jihoon," Seokjin said and Jihoon looked at Yoongi, who was staring at him.

"What are you looking at?" Jihoon replied and Yoongi shrugged.

"I dunno. I guess you tamed a wild beast, didn't you?" Yoongi grinned as he looked back towards the people watching.

"Jeon Jihoon just heeded Kim Seokjin?!"

"He even made him bow to him!"

"What kind of guy is Jihoon?"

"A rabbit tamed a beast, how ironic."

"If Seokjin's with you, then I'm joining," Yoongi grinned as he patted Jihoon's back.

"Aren't you with the yakuza? You're gonna get your balls cut off for that," Jihoon replied.

"Who said that I can't be a gang member in South Korea? I can go back to Japan and be in my home country too, idiot," Yoongi replied and Jihoon raised a brow.

"What do you think this is? Some overseas abroad job or something?" Jihoon replied and Yoongi chuckled.

"I also want a taste of the Great Jihoon's leadership," Yoongi winked before walking away.

Jihoon looked back at Seokjin who still had his head down, and he sighed.

"Oh come on, we're getting lunch. As long as you're true to your word, you're mine," Jihoon smiled widely and Seokjin's eyes sparkled before following his new leader.

"Jihoon!" Yeonjun cried and Namjoon's eyes widened.

"You were so cool out there!" Yeonjun cheered and Jihoon rubbed the back of his neck.

"It's nothing! Come on, let's go eat!" Jihoon smiled.

"I don't regret following my instincts and choosing to follow you," Namjoon blurted out as he stared at Jihoon.

"Starting this day Jeon Jihoon, I'm conducting a research on you. At first, I didn't have a reason for following you, now I do, and I'm gonna study you!" Namjoon smiled and Jihoon sighed.

"Goodluck with that!" Jihoon said as he walked away, and Yeonjun followed akong until it was only Namjoon and Seokjin.

"What are you standing there for? I'm not gonna attack you, let's go big guy," Namjoon sighed as he patted the broad shoulders of Seokjin. Although, Namjoon was shaking like a leaf in the inside.

Dear Jihoon,

It's only been a month but it feels like years since I haven't seen you. I've been okay on my own, I've been doing work underground and managed to get some money.

You know, I have tons of questions about the world around me. Mother never shows me what the world is like, and I've been locked in the house since the day I was born. I'm planning on meeting you, so I hope you tell me stories of your experience.

What is school like? Mother never lets me go to school. I want to meet friends and spend lunch with them. But I also don't want to go without you, I feel lonely doing so. It doesn't feel right.

Yet, when you go out of jail, I want to atleast tell you I've grown stronger, and I can finally be by your side. You've always protected me, now it's my turn to have your back.

I'm gonna keep missing you.

From your twin brother,

Jungkook

"That's your twin brother?" Namjoon asked as he took a picture inside the letter. It was a photo of Jihoon and Jungkook together.

"Don't we look the same? I'm glad he's living his life out there," I replied and Yoongi tilted his head as he read the letter.

"It's pretty sad for your brother that you aren't there with him, but I guess if he's happy, you're happy?" Yoongi asked and Jihoon smiled widely.

"Of course!"

"Mr. Jeon, someone would like to meet you," a police cop said and Jihoon excused himself to the other boys before  following the cop.

"Jihoon!" Jungkook smiled as he sat infront of Jihoon, who was smiling back at him.

"Jungkook! I missed you!" Jihoon said and Jungkook stared at him through the glass screen that seperated both of them.

"What happened to your face? You have a bruise on you again," Jungkook said, concern written on his face and Jihoon smiled softly.

"It's alright. I put some bad guys in their place you know? Nothing special," Jihoon replied and Jungkook looked down.

"You know, I have a great idea," Jungkook said as he looked at Jihoon.

"Once you get out of jail, how about we get matching tattoos?" Jungkook smiled, and Jihoon nodded instantly.

"We should! That'd be cool! We'll decide the design together! Ooh! Also, I have something to tell you," Jihoon replied before telling Jungkook the story of how he got some new friends.

"Woah, you totally owned it there, Jihoon! Also, now that we have some new friends, we should decide the name of our group!" Jungkook said cheerfully, preventing from rising suspicions towards the cops listening in.

"Let's come up with the name together!" Jihoon said and Jungkook hummed.

"Remember the name of that duo we came up with and always used to play back when we were young?" Jihoon smiled softly and Jungkook's eyes widened.

"Oh yeah!" Jungkook replied.

"Bangtan!" They both said in unison.

A/N:

Vote or someone will hit u with a flying slipper

Alright so someone told me if I can provide a family list for San members  but its quite simple hehe.

Namsan is eldest, Yeonjun is second, and San is the youngest. Yeonjun was adopted by Big Brother the mafia boss whilst San and Namsan were raised by their biological father. I hope this clears the confusion :)).
