Yoongi looked away. "The password is at the bottom left drawer, but we didn't have enough time to jot down the-"

Namjoon cursed. "The boss is not gonna like this."

"It's my fault, I should've distracted him longer." Jungkook burst.

Jimin ran over to embrace the younger. "No! Don't take the blame to yourself Jungkook! It was our fault. We took too long!"

Jin narrowed his eyes, "true dat... you guys were legit kissing..."

"Dude, we had to distract Jungkook's father from suspecting us ya know!". Yoongi protested.

"Plus everyone in that effin' building ships us anyways..." Jimin crossed his arms.

"So what do we do now..." Jungkook asked, worriedly.

"I haven't told our boss yet... but I think you should go back to your dormitory, Jungkook." Namjoon looked at Jimin.

Jimin nodded his head, patting Jungkook on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Jungkook. I'm sure the boss will give us a second chance or something. Besides, we already know where the code is."

Yoongi nodded his head. "He's right, I'm pretty sure the boss won't punish you for what you've done. Especially since you're our only chance to get close to Mr.Jeon."

While the members went back to the apartment, Jimin sent Jungkook back to his school. Jimin politely greeted the guard and told him that Jungkook was just having a sleepover at his house. Jungkook nodded his head in agreement because that's exACtly what he has been doing.

Jimin stopped at the gates to say goodbye. "Sleep tight, Jungkook. I hope I'll see you again tomorrow but I'm not sure with the plan yet."

Jungkook smiled back. "Bye, Jimin."

Afterward, on the way to his dormitory, Jungkook felt... strangely empty. Was he feeling loneliness? He's never met people so caring and nice to him before although these people are literally robbing his father. But Jungkook understood that they had no choice because their boss forced them to. So it's not their fault. They're just boys like Jungkook. They're scared and afraid like him. He's not alone.

It's been a while since Jungkook checked his phone, surprisingly. Guess he was having a good time with the boys.

As soon as he unlocked his phone, the game opened...

... and a video call started.

Jungkook heart jumped. What the-

Taehyung appeared on the screen. There were tears in his eyes and his shirt was slightly ripped, revealing his bare shoulder. "Jungkook... meet me in front of the gun shop" Taehyung softly said.

"Tae? Are you okay?" Jungkook worriedly asked, holding his phone closer to his face.

"I'm fine. Just meet me there."

Without a doubt, without any hesitation. Jungkook ran out the campus gate, briefly greeting the guard while he was giving Jungkook a weird look.

It was dark, it was a bad time to meet this stranger, but somehow Jungkook ignored those things. He knew Taehyung had helped him many times. This time, he needed Jungkook's help.

Jungkook's heart pounded when he saw the boy in front of the gun store. What if it's a trap? What does Taehyung want with him? But most importantly... why does he want to meet him in person?

Taehyung looked up from his phone. It was still too dark for Jungkook to see his face clearly, but he could tell that Taehyung was smiling at him. "Jungkook.. you actually came?" the familiar low voice said.

Jungkook shrugged cooly. "I trust you."

Taehyung suddenly laughed, swinging his arm around Jungkook's shoulder. "Y-you don't trust me." Jungkook could smell a tiny hint of alcohol from Taehyung.

"Taehyung... are you okay?" Jungkook looked cautiously at the boy's face. Indeed, he had been crying and it seemed like someone hurt him.

"Yeah... I'm fine. I just... wanted to see you." Taehyung gazed at Jungkook, and Jungkook looked away shyly. He wasn't used to having this stranger be so close to him. He's definitely drunk.

"Uhh... should I take you home or something? You seem a little drunk." Jungkook supported Taehyung to the street.

"Home? What... but we just met..." Taehyung gasped, stumbling over a rock. Jungkook sighed and placed him on a nearby bench. This is gonna be tricky. There's no way the guard is gonna let him take Taehyung into his dormitory. Especially when he looks drunk as hell. He's gonna have to come up with a really smart plan...

»»————- ☆ ————-««

"So apparently, my friend got drunk so I kind of have to... ya know." Jungkook told the guard. DAMN THIS PLAN SUCKS.

The guard raised his eyebrows. "Uh... okay then." HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY WORKED.

Jungkook supported Taehyung all the way up the stairs. Which, to be honest, was even harder than the boss level in Finding Yeontan.

Jungkook was so tired he practically dropped Taehyung on the bed while he crashed on the other side, panting. "GOD you are SO HEAVY."

Jungkook looked at the boy, who was sleeping soundly on his bed. It took Jungkook a while to process that there's a fuckin' stranger in his dormitory hoLY sHIT. Jungkook still couldn't believe what had just happened these past few days. First of all, his game started talking to him. Then his roommate died. And then he met a group of strangers. And then they robbed his father, which he hadn't met in years. And now he's sleeping with a stranger in his dormitory room.

How the fuck did he get into so much shit.

The younger noticed Taehyung's phone in his pocket. Now's a great chance to find out the truth.

However... Jungkook didn't do it. Somehow... Jungkook didn't want to betray Taehyung like that. Taehyung decided to meet Jungkook drunk, so it must be because he trusted Jungkook well enough. Besides, Jungkook believed that Taehyung was telling him the complete truth.

"Jungkook." Taehyung murmured, his eyes drowsily looking at Jungkook.

"Yeah?"

"...Nothing."

Cool. Nice conversation. Jungkook got up for a shower, well... to avoid the awkwardness.

Minutes later, he got back and saw Taehyung laying over his bed with his body stretched lazily across.

"Dude, make room." Jungkook poked at the sleeping boy.

"You smell f-fucking good." Taehyung mumbled.

Jungkook narrowed his eyes. "Unlike you... you smell like sh-"

"Jungkook smells like marshmallows!"

"Uhhhh... what?"

"Marshmallows. Kookie smells like marshmallows."

"Did you just call me-"

"kOoKie. Like Jung. Kook. Kook-"

"OkAY oKAY i get it!". Jungkook stopped Taehyung before things get out of hand, despite being a little cute seeing Taehyung so innocent.

Then Jungkook realized he completely forgot what he was here for. "Wait a minute... STOP DISTRACTING ME. SCOOT THE FUCK OVER." Jungkook tickled Taehyung's sides and he rolled his body over, his face now planted on the pillow muffling his laughter.

"Geez." Jungkook muttered to himself, tucking himself in the blankets.

Was this really okay though? What if the boss sent Taehyung over to murder him? Or rob him?

Nahhhh it'll be fine. Jungkook reassured himself for the hundredth time before falling asleep.
