The silence in the room is definitely deafening now. That sudden statement stabbed a vicious blow in both Karma and Jimin's chest, all the while Jungkook let's his head fall in utter desperation to the boy's sudden outburst.

This is not what he wanted.

They know his gem now, and they could use that as leverage over him.

He never wanted Yeosang to be in this position, ever.

Jungkook places a hand on his shoulder, "Kid, I told you to to stay hidden-"

"Well I'm done hiding!" Yeosang snaps back, making Jungkook slightly flinch back, "You nearly got killed! He swore to protect you and you nearly died! I can be a better damn bodyguard than whatever service he's providing!"

He's definitely pissed, Jungkook has never seen him this upset in his life.

Meanwhile Jimin leans his weight against the wall, pinching the bridge of his nose in utter frustration to this sudden surprise that they have to deal with.

Now there's a fucking child involved, so fantastic!

Yet that wasn't fully the reason why Jimin is frustrated. With just one simple look at this Gem kid only brings Jimin fatal memories, ones he wishes to erase permanently from his head.

When he was as young as he appears.

But unlike him, he had no one to rely to.

Only himself.

Karma still remains puzzled, but he takes matter in his own hands and glares at the kid, "You, shut up," and then looks at Jungkook, "You.... Oh, you have a lot of explaining to do."

The kid clearly didn't really like being told what to do, let alone to Jungkook because he bravely glares back at Karma with a snarl, "I'm not his real kid if that's what you're worried about, that's all you need to know. Now, can you both give me a fucking second with him without you practically planning my kidnapping and using it as leverage over Jungkook. Please leave, right now!"

Oh how stubborn Karma wanted to be. He wanted nothing more but to gut the kid's every bone or organs out and shove it down his throat for even raising his voice at him, but he suppressed his little psychotic urges because he caught the sight of Jungkook's face.

He has never seen him..... Like this.

Jungkook has been the type to always conceal his emotions; He's always indifferent about everything and anything in general. However, this, right now, he looks like he's seconds away from going through an actual mental break drown the longer this proceeds.

Karma hates seeing Jungkook look so fucking weak, it drives him insane.

Maybe because he isn't weak himself, and that is like a crawl up his spine in irritation.

Only because of that did Karma grab Jimin and walks out of the room, closing it shut behind them as they wait outside the door instead.

Painful silent moments pass by and that's when Yeosang lets out more sensitive tears down his eyelids as he looks at Jungkook, who finally lets out a few sobs of his own, caressing Yeosang's dark hair and weakly smiles, "I'm s-so glad to see you."

The kid's lips wobbled in response, and he nods, letting his gaze fall to Jungkook's bandaged arm, "How are you feeling?"

"I'll survive, as always," He chuckles but then slowly gets serious, "You shouldn't have came here kid, I taught you smarter than that. Why did you say that to Karma?"

Yeosang's eyes suddenly grows dark, and he glares at the sheets, "I'm tired of you always risking your life for me. I'm grown Jungkook, and you have seen my skills. I'm tired of hiding and being constantly worried if you're okay or not. And what I said to Karma is true! I don't care how big he is in this life, if you both are working on this, the least he could fucking do is make sure you're okay!"

Still the protective little gem that he is.

Jungkook closes his eyes, fighting back his tears as he lets out a heavy sigh, "They know you, and he can use that to hurt you-"

"At this point Jungkook, do you think I fucking care about that right now?" He breathes tiredly, eyes now much softer to his father figure, "I just wanted to see you and spend a minute in your company again."

"And that risked your life now," Jungkook mutters, taking his hand tenderly with a much more fragile gleam in his eyes, "You are my life kid, I can't fucking lose you because of this problem going on."

Yeosang is the only connection he has to himself, to a normal life, to actually caring about someone. If he loses Yeosang, he will lose himself completely.

He will kill and die for him, just like he knows the kid will do the same in return.

As any good father would for their child.

Yeosang frowns deeply and kisses his knuckles, "Don't worry, you won't. I've been studying Karma through the security system in the kidnappers' cabin, he has grown to trust you, believe it or not. In this case, you're valuable to him, and he needs you. If I'm out of the picture, he knows he could lose you, for good and ruin everything."

That's what Yeosang wanted him to believe just so he wouldn't worry. Truth is, he has spied on Karma many times through the cameras and the man is a fucking psychopath as it is, so he would kill Yeosang if he is caught by him. However, he didn't want Jungkook to lose that hope, especially since Yeosang knows he would never let Karma have his way with him, ever.

Jungkook lets his words coil his mind and he could see his point. So that's when he only nods and gives Yeosang a tender kiss on the head, "Stay hidden, you know what to do, little gem."

The kid only nods, squeezing Jungkook's hand and walks out the door without another word and a heavy heart. The second he steps out, he is met with Karma and Jimin on their side of the door, all eyes falling onto him. It's almost as if Yeosang began to mentally and physically prepare himself, gathering his strength for what's about to come soon.

So, he didn't break a sweat when he stands in front of Karma, "Let's make a deal."

The man in the mask perks his eyebrow underneath it and crosses his arms over his chest, clearly not expecting this, "Go on."

"If you want Jungkook to still be your little lap dog, keep me out of the picture. He's not like how you would think he is. This would not be one of those cases where he'd cooperate if you held me hostage. He will be your worse enemy because he knows me," He growls lowly and extends out a hand, "Don't underestimate my Kookie, he can be the fucking Devil if he has to be. So, keep him alive, and if I find out that he's dead because of you being so careless, you will meet with actual karma. Do I make myself clear, Karma?"

With every word that escaped the boy's lips, Karma only grows more and more fascinated by him. There's only been a few people in his life who has ever stood up to him: Jungkook and Jimin being one of them and now this boy.

Guess that snarky tongue runs in the family.

And how Karma loves a little brave soldier to just tell him off.

So, Karma leans towards his face, a confused glint his eyes, "I'm sorry, who are you?"

Yeosang remains frozen with squinted eyes back, reading Karma with his eyes before sending him one last look and walks down the almost empty hallway.

Karma stares at him in awe as the boy takes a sharp corner, completely out of sight now, and he suddenly reaches to pull out his phone. The mint green haired male punches in a number and brings the device to his ear, letting it ring a few times before the voice of his familiar cousin answered.

"Sir?"

"Black hair, around 5'8, wide eyes, leaving the hospital as we speak," He describes, making Jimin snap his head up to him with eyes widen and he pushes himself off the wall.

The horror suddenly flashing his eyes.

"Karma don't you dare!"

"I see him sir, what would you like me to do?"

And Karma grins evilly under his mask, "Get him."

A/N:

So just to give you guys some quick math since I'm assuming you're confused about the age differences; Yeosang - 18. Jungkook - 26. Karma - 26. Jimin - 22.

Jungkook and Karma a little older due to their roles in the story - Mafia lord and head director of the agency. It takes a while to reach those high ranks, so that's why they're a little older

Hopes this sends off a bit of a sense of clarity!

I PURPLE YOU! <33
