Chapter 12
The trio was an example of perfection. They tossed the chips around as if they were not losing money at all. Each time Jungkook lost, he looked at Jimin with a pang of guilt visible in his eyes only for other to shrug it off easily. He was Losing his money non stop and the elder looked like it didn't even matter to him at all not to mention the times Jimin lost he had to pay for himself too.
Out of the seventeen games they played by now, eleven of them were won by suga alone, four by Jimin and three by Jin. But then he knew Jimin was better at Red ace. He didn't win even once. He wanted to cheat so badly but he knew he would mess up. He could bet his life on it that others were cheating. He groaned when he lost again leaning back in defeat. He wasn't even nervous at this point. Furious and defeated, that's what he felt right now. But he knew again they were professionals. He stood no chance in front of them from the start.
He moved his wrist watch towards Jimin showing him time, he needed to go back now and pick up YN. "C'mon just one more. Then we will leave." That's what stopped him once again before the game started once again. A spark rose within him. He came here to enjoy the night,not to lose all the freaking eighteen times they played. Nervousness rushed off his veins like it was never there. He wanted to try wining at least once so he wouldn't regret even after leaving the place. He at least didn't want to regret these two hours now that he was here. He decided to cheat, he was not coming back here anyways so incase he get caught he wouldn't feel much embarrassed.
Putting on a straight poker face he started, he learnt the face pretty much by all the games they just played. He remembered when he won over jimin back in his apartment, he screamed, danced and jumped around all he wanted to celebrate but people here showed literal no reaction even after wining millions of dollars. It was just wow how even jimin didn't say anything, Jungkook practically lost a huge sum of his money.
The time on the table practically stopped for a moment when they revealed the cards. They all had to blink twice to realize the youngest among all took over this time. Jimin, neither Seokjin nor even the master Suga. It was the Boy who stepped first time in casino and won over the professionals. Jimin was the only one who cheered and high fived Jungkook , A smirk appeared on Jimin's face seeing Suga's straight face. Well if this is not what he felt when he lost from Jungkook.
Jimin :"Ah Fuck perfect dude! I knew it!!" He cheered gathering all the chips in between his arms happily. Jungkook surely won him a huge sum of money.
Jin :"Well okay? That was great. I didn't even notice when you cheat." Hearing that Jungkook choked out coughing before moving his face to other side. Now what the fuck. Jin just laughed at the boy's clumsiness along with his innocence
Jin :"Relax there, everyone here does that. It's no secret well as long as you don't get caught so be careful."
Jungkook :"Yeah, I am not even coming back here anyways. It was just a one night thing."
Jin :"As you say.It was fun playing though." Jungkook nodded standing up looking at suga one last time who was busy on his cellphone. He didn't look much pleased and he had to rethink when Jimin warned him to stay away from him.
Jimin :"alright let's get out of here first." Jungkook was happy, the frustration he felt past two hours was gone. He literally won, he wanted to do a happy dance but stopped not wanting to look like a fool in here. The whole two hours, spent in madness or craziness, he felt everything but not the fear. The shitty bloody image didn't once flashed in front of him. It was as if such thing didn't even happen. After a whole shitty day he was finally able to breath properly
Jungkook :"You lost a lot of money, I can't pay you that back it was quite a lot."
Jimin :"Forget about it, I will make it back with in two hours."
Jungkook :"That's how much you really make in there?"
Jimin :"Depends on whom you are playing with, the bigger the bets are, the better you are, the more you win.The games are pretty same, everyone know how to play them. It all depends on how well you pull it of, the tricks, the cheat and the bluffs. If you cheated before you would definitely win more. "
Jungkook :" Was it that obvious I cheated? "
Jimin :" I bet they don't know nor do I otherwise you would be stopped right there. But yeah you suddenly won a game after losing so many, that make it quite obvious. "
Jungkook :" Too much for my pretty brain." Jimin laughed at that. To him it was just another day of his life. Nothing new at all. He spent half of his life in that casino.
Jimin :" Call me when you need me. "He stopped the car back in the parking lot of the shopping mall where Jungkook worked.
Jungkook :" Thanks... For tonight. "The two shared a genuine smile before Jimin got off the car running a hand through his hair and got in his own car right where he parked it. Jungkook truly felt thankful to him for tonight, if not for him he would still be shivering and crying over the same thing.He almost forgot such thing happened till Jimin was out of his sight and he remembered the incident from before. Sighing he shut his eyes calming himself before driving off to Yn's Cafe to pick her up.
*****
Once they were back at him he hugged her nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck. She didn't object either letting him do how he wanted. He felt guilty for breaking a promise and meeting Jimin but if not for him he doesn't think he would be normal at this state.
Jungkook :"I love you, you know that right." Hearing a mm in response he stayed there. He loved her, she meant the most Important person in his life, she truly did.
YN :"You are okay right?"
Jungkook :"I am fine now."
YN :"Not the fever." She pulled back looking in his eyes. "You are acting a bit differently suddenly telling me I love you."
Jungkook :"I missed you, that's it." He smiled kissing her forehead earning a smile in return too. The two hugged again staying like that in each other's embrace where they feel safe and protected. Maybe she had to get used to living like this. Both of them were keeping secrets which they knew.... They shouldn't have ever.

Jimin went back to the cassino playing the night away. Jungkook might lost him a million but it was never a problem to him. He would win it back in no time. That was the biggest reason he was so interested in this place. Other than that, the satisfaction that you feel watching the one in front of you losing is another level of fun. That's the place he would always come to after the missions and shit his mob would make him go through. Not like he was complaining he chose the life himself.
He had a family, a beautiful family like every other kid of his age did. Life was pretty simple, going to school, playing around with friends, coming back home, going out once in a while with family. He was only 7 years old. Most of his memories faded away he hardly remembered a few bits and pieces. One of them included the tragic night he and his family went through.
Their house caught up on a fire, he still hears the Screams of his family locked inside. His mother, father and younger sister he doesn't even remember her face nor name anymore. He remembered crying his eyes out when he woke up in a hospital hearing his family couldn't survive. Next he found himself in an orphanage getting raised there. He couldn't bring himself to live a normal life anymore. Not like he wanted to. Each night he woke up screaming asking his mom and dad to come back but they never did. Never once they cared coming back to ask how he was only if he could understand a dead person can' t return. He was too young to accept it. He soon found himself furthering away from everyone, anyone who would try coming near him to become friends they would just end up getting insulted or beaten up by him.
He wanted to stay alone and he did. All his years he lived alone till he turned thirteen and found himself getting in wrong things. Smoking, partying, drinking, beating. He was too young for it but did he care? He was too young to go through all that too when life didn't give two fucks then why would he. One of the nights when he got himself in to a fight but to his unfortune or maybe a good luck instead that those men were wanted by someone else too. He remembered when he was beating the shit out of someone, a lot of men dressed perfectly suddenly appeared out of nowhere. That was the moment he really felt scared maybe the man was guarded but his fear washed off when they just took the man throwing him in the van.
Next thing they threw him along the man too taking him somewhere he had no idea. Ending up in front of RM while causing a huge mess to let him get out of there he stopped when RM entered the room along with his father. That day and now RM grew him with special care and he grew up to be loyal towards the elder.
He opened his eyes hearing the door opening, leaning off the couch he looked at Yoongi entering the room taking a seat on the couch in front of him. A table in the middle of the two with chips and money scattered all over it. On a side two glasses and a bottle of champagne laying quietly.
Suga :"That kid, you sure he stepped in casino first time?" He poured down a glass of alcohol for himself making himself comfortable trying his best to ignore the shitty mocking smirk Jimin was giving him.
Jimin :"How does it feel to lose from an amateur?" Tease, a fucking tease.
Suga :"Cut the crap and answer what I asked?"
Jimin :"Yes, it was his first time. He is innocent he have no idea about this world. He is living his life all good on the bright side."
Suga :"Is he coming again? He looks quite smart. Call him again let's play another round." even though Jungkook lost most of the games, yoongi was someone who could see right through someone. He could tell how smart the kid was.
Jimin :"Nah, he isn't coming again. Told you he is away from all this."
Suga :"then why the fuck he came here today?"
Jimin :"Woah calm down Mr Angry bird. He thinks he killed Kai and that was haunting him down. So I brought him over for some distraction. Now I know there were other ways but those were not my ways." The two sipped their drinks while Suga grabbed the cards shuffling them to play a game. Not everyone knew how Kai died.... Well except for few.
Suga :" Don't you dare tell him, unless you want to be a dead meat. "Jimin stayed quiet. For once he wanted to leave everything behind and really tell Jungkook the truth but he couldn't. He'd rather help him get over his fear this way than to loose RM's trust.
The two played till dawn, till they had no more energy left in them to drink and play anymore dozing off right there on the couches with their money still there. It was quite a huge sum of it but the place was theirs they didn't have to fear losing it.

"what are you thinking?" He walked near her wrapping his arms around her from behind. Looking ahead, the two stood in front of the window taking in the peaceful view of the dark night that hovered above them. The moon looked so lonely yet it shone ever so brightly.
YN :" That.... The darker the night is, the brighter the moon shines." A genuine smile appeared on his lips as he let his eyes closed when his lips came in contact with her skin.
"You are not ditching Cafe and planning to become a philosopher right?" The two let had a sweet calm smiles on their lips as they stayed in each other's embrace.
Jungkook :"You still won't tell me right? What was it you wanted to talk about." The question made her smile drop, each time the topic is brought her heart aches as if someone clenching it ever so mercilessly. If only she could tell him her burden would be lifted off her shoulders.
" It Doesn't "She took a pause letting her eyes linger a little longer at the shinning moon." Matter anymore."He just nodded in response not pushing it anymore. He was much used to it by now. If pushing the topic would get him the information then he would surely. As long as she was safe in his arms he didn't want to hurt her comfort zone.
