The building is definitely nothing like how Jungkook or Taehyung expected from the outside, at all. Since the Peacock is a club, they were prepared to see a well oriented building; lights, music and a line of people ready to be let inside by the bouncer by the entrance while stopping a fight here and there.

However, what they were met with instead is a sketchy looking building, dark, with a metal rusty door that's supposed to be the so-called entrance. What makes this scenario possibly even worse than it already is it's the fact that it's in an alleyway; perfect opportunity to get jumped or killed by anyone at any moment in time.

What a perfect scenery.

Jungkook stares at the rusty door in disgust before clapping his hands, "Oh look at that, your cousin sucks at getting simple directions. Not a surprise. Time to go."

Before Jungkook could even turn around, Karma grabs his collar and drags him back beside him with a huff under his breath, "You owe me. Let's go."

I don't owe you shit!

The royal majesty my ass.

I'll show him a royal fucking instead, and then we'll see who will be the one to bark orders around.

However, Jungkook has no other choice than to cooperate as long as Karma has him on a damn leash. To the thought of that only made Jungkook roll his eyes heavily and follow behind Karma, keeping an eye out just in case as the male, who wears a black, well-cut suit this time around, knocks on the metal door, hard and angrily.

Jungkook sends him a lethal glare.

Why not piss them off, great idea!

The door suddenly creaks open, revealing piercing brown eyes as they study Karma's golden mask, and their face drastically falls to utter obedience. This club isn't one of Karma's, just being a regular one ruled by a regular businessman, but it's interesting to see that even the bouncers recognize such high class that is Karma.

Of course, they would recognize him.

"Karma of Aurous," The bouncer bows, "How may I help you, your highness?"

If I hear another person call this man 'your highness' or 'your majesty' one more time-

Karma narrows his eyes to the bouncer "I came to speak with Jewels, Sungyeon's request."

The bouncer face sudden scrunches up with a reluctant look, glancing back to notice Jungkook's presence and gulps, "If you come alone-"

"Either he comes with me, or I will burn this place to the ground," Karma growls through his teeth, closing in the creak of the door, "Now let me speak with Jewels."

The bouncer once again glances between the two and nods slowly, closing the door for a moment to remove the locks and possibly informing Jewels of her sudden visitors. Meanwhile Jungkook stares at Karma with an eyebrow perked up.

The mint green haired man didn't notice at first but then meets his gaze with his own accusing look, "What?"

"Either he comes with me or I will burn this place to the ground," He minicks with a high pitch voice and a scowl, "You could've gone without me! You just made yourself seem like a little bitch!"

Karma glares intensely at him before closing in on his face, casting a more intimidating stance by how close he is, "As long as you're bound to me, you're not leaving my side. Wherever I go, you go. Wherever you go, I'll go. So whether you like it or not, every shit we have to deal with, we're dealing with it together. Now show me some respect and don't talk down on me!"

Jungkook snarls his teeth angrily and aggravatingly punches the air, "Ughhh the way I'm straining myself from not killing you! Respect me instead since I'm a cop!"

"Who I blackmailed."

Jungkook raises his hands up, tempting to snap Karma's head off but only scrunches up his fist as they glare at each other and groans in frustration, "When this is over, I will make sure you are burned six feet underground."

"And you'll be right there next to me," The other winks right when the bouncer opens the door, making both males turn towards him as he holds out a briefcase; empty and open.

"Weapons in here; Guns, knives, grenades, and pocketknives."

The pair aggravatedly removes their guns and puts it in the case. Karma also takes out his knife from his inside pockets and the one strapped to his ankle, the bouncer allowing him inside.

Jungkook only takes out the knife from the inside of his blazer and goes to move inside, but the bouncer places a hand on his chest to stop him.

"What?" And the bouncer points to his leg.

How the fuck...

It's not that noticeable!

But wordlessly Jungkook takes out the small gun from his ankle and throws it in the case, a forced smile on his face, "Happy?"

The man with the buzz cut forcefully smiles back and lets them inside, all the while placing the suitcase in a room next to them full of rows with other cases.

Hmm that's a smart system...

"I'll escort you to where the part is," The bouncer bows, making the two nod and follow him down the ominous staircase with the purple neon light, hearing the music now inside - a contrast to how silent it sounded from the outside.

And that's when Karma began to slow his steps back.

"Is it safe to assume that my safety is secured in your hands without having any proper weapons?" Karma asks lowly, making sure the bouncer in front of them can't hear him as they trail farther back.

Jungkook slowly smirks cockily to the sudden hesitation behind Karma's voice, "Who said I'm without a weapon," He murmurs, daringly placing a hand on Karma's waist, forcing him to feel the length of a knife hidden underneath his sleeve, "Trust me baby, you're in good hands. Your master will take good care of you."

Master who?

Karma snaps his head towards him, mustering a hideous glare as he slaps his hand off of him, "Who ever said I need saving from you?" He scoffs in disgust, "And who made you think you have any right to call me baby and refer to yourself as my master? I have more authority over you than you have over yourself, remember that."

Ah he's so fun to tease.

So quick to be defensive.

An actual smile forms Jungkooks lips to this but instant wipes it off the second they arrive to the actual club. To say it's far different than how it appears on the outside would be an understatement; The walls are entirely covered by mirrors with classy leather chairs scattered around with dim lights, only light from the stage being more glaring for the dancers. Many men and women are here, drinking or watching the show that the strippers are performing up on the platform with metal poles.

This place looks amazing indeed, so breathtaking.

As in the aesthetics that is.

Some Neo - futuristic type of vibe.

"So, let's see how good your cop skills are, which one is Jewels?" Karma asks with a taunting tone, moving away from the bouncer when he waved a hand to let them through.

Jungkook's eyes instantly focused on every single person by the bar, where the bouncer said Jewels may be by. Based on the information they got from their broken handed pimp, they're looking for a daunting looking female with perhaps a fur coat and heels too high that can possibly stop Jungkook's heart with a single blow to his chest.

Maybe wearing fishnets if they're lucky.

As they got closer and closer to the bar, Jungkook can't assume anyone would be her since no one just seems to look like Jewels, let alone her descriptions.

And sadly, they weren't able to look her up in the system since she recently came up with this name, lovely.

"Maybe after a drink I'll think better," Jungkook sighs dejectedly as he sits by the bar, Karma following suit to sit beside him.

"Aw can't manage to find her?"

"And you can?" Jungkook snaps as the only bartender here arrives to them.

The woman behind the counter looks between the two with a raised eyebrow, "Well I haven't your faces around here before, must be new," She says with a slight smirk, "How may I help you fine gentlemen?"

The second the two looks up to her, they nearly forgot how to breathe.

Wow she's beautiful....

Jungkook nearly chokes on air from how unexpected this all was, not preparing himself to see such a gorgeous bartender at all.

Well.... Maybe he'll consider coming here more often after all.

Karma turns to her officially with fingers crossed on the glass counter, "Yes, two shots of vodka and perhaps a little assistance. We are looking for someone."

Jungkook still can't keep his eyes off the woman, staring at her more intently; taking in her wavy short black hair and black button up shirt as it hugs her curvy waist. She's really attractive especially with this type of confidence behind her stance alone.

She's very interesting.

"Oh really?" She drawls amusingly as she sets two glasses in front of the men and pours over the liquor, "Who could this person be?"

Found her.

"You," Jungkook smiles as he takes the shot glass, raising it up to her, "Jewels."

The women behind the bar face suddenly falls and she looks around them, checking to see if anyone else heard their conversation before leaning over to Jungkook, "Are you a spy? No one knows my identity."

Oh the irony sweetheart.

Jungkook engulfs his shot and looks at Karma with a smirk, "Look at that, maybe you guys are related since your identities are so precious."

Karma sighs annoyedly at him with closed eyes, not knowing how much longer he can tolerate his existence, before turning to Jewels, "We need your assistance in locating someone."

The women purse her lips, narrowing her eyes slightly as she cleans up a glass cup with a towel, "Sorry darling, can't give you any information. The policy here is," A wicked smirk spreads her lips, "You must be a client in order to get me talking, if you know what I mean. That applies to all staff, not just me."

The pair slowly turns their heads to the direction she's nods, eyes on the strippers ahead as they feed onto the audiences' desires with more strip teases.

Fuck. No.

Unless...

Jungkook narrows his eyes and turns back to her, "Would JM possibly make an appearance here for me to take that into consideration?"

And Jewels smiles widens to a laugh, "Aha, you're looking for the precious diamond, not the first ones to ask for him of course," She mocks before putting the cup down, "My part still stands; I won't say anything unless you're a client. However, if this is about JM, well that's a little risky since you are looking for a ghost who doesn't want to be found. And I don't kiss and tell."

So, he's still alive... Or existing in this world somewhere.

Good.

"What about this," Karma says with his negotiating tone, "One of us deals with your little puppets, buy you a drink and swear to keep our mouths shut? Deal."

Once again did Jewels hiccups a laugh, shaking her head dismissively, "Sorry darling. That just.... Won't cut it."

Hm, they're going to have to dig a little deeper than that.

"What if we tell you that we are trying to prevent Yoongi from reaching him first?" Jungkook questions, now making Jewels smile slowly drop, "Clearly you have this need to protect JM, and we aren't here to buy him, let alone for pleasure. You see, Yoongi just got out of prison, and you can already know what that means?"

Jewels clearly knows more about Jimin than meets the eye, that much both him and Karma could tell as her demeanor suddenly got more serious, eyes glancing between the two uneasily.

Jungkook silently promises her that he won't let anything wrong happen to him. He wants Jimin's safety as much as she does, while also leveraging him to lure in Yoongi of course.

The beautiful women lean to the counter with a deadly gaze, "Fuck with one of the staff as followed by policy, buy me a drink, and prove to me that you aren't one of those sick bastards that wants JM for your own lewd desires such as trafficking or pornography purposes. JM may be a whore to your eyes, but he won't go through half the shit he did again, and then we'll discuss."

Fair it is.

Jungkook smiles, "It's a deal," He drinks another shot, giving a one eye over to Jewels, "Can I take you up for the deal?"

Karma snaps his head to Jungkook, his stare intense as Jewels slowly smirks at him, being aware of Karma's sudden reaction before removing her apron and walking down the bar, "I'll let you two discuss."

Jungkook smirks seductively and perks an eyebrow, being lured by the woman as he walks towards her until a hand on his shoulder turns him around aggressively.

"Have you lost your mind? We have a task to do!" Karma snaps angrily, "We can figure out another way-"

"Do you honestly believe anyone else here knows where Jimin is?" Jungkook whispers harshly in return, "She feels some sentimental value for him, we can use that. Stop being a fucking brat and let me do my job in finding Jimin!"

Karma didn't want to give in, absolutely not as he glances at the women standing beside a large, mirrored door with a smirk between the two, "Fuck this I'll go-"

"Absolutely not."

Karma scowls under his mask, "And why not?"

Jungkook then taps on the mask, "Last time we checked, you aren't exactly admirable to look at with this thing on your face!"

The two continue to bicker but it got to the point Karma had nothing else to say. If Jungkook doesn't do anything, they could lose their only lead that they have. Besides, Karma shouldn't be feeling this possessive control over Jungkook, all he wants is Yoongi.

Jungkook is just a doll to him, nothing more than that.

Regardless, Karma runs a hand through his hair, "You said you would keep me safe!"

Jungkook's grimaces at him before grabbing his shoulders, urging him closer, "Don't worry, you can last a minute or two without me. Besides," And he leans down to his ear with a sly smirk, "I will only be thinking about you."

Karma tenses up when Jungkook bites down his ear lobe and walks towards Jewels, who wiggles an eyebrow towards him and opens the door. It took everything inside Karma to not lose his shit then and there as Jungkook follows in after her, not before turning around to meet Karma's line of sight.

Neither of them looked away, only gave each other a heavy stare before the door closes shut behind Jungkook.

Leaving Karma with the knife Jungkook swapped to his sleeve.
