Chapter 14
Jungkook let his eyes wander around the marvelous place, no one seemed to be bothered a stranger in their territory until a person stopped in front of him while he was using his cellphone. He looked up to find an unfamiliar face dressed in skinny jeans and an oversized shirt above tugged in his jeans - only the middle part.
"Who are you?" The guy asked as Jungkook out the cell away standing up. "I came with Jimin."
"The one who thinks he killed Kai?" the question dropped Jungkook's sanity as he gulped visibly taking a step back. The other was quick enough to catch it knowing the whole story.
Jhope :"I am Jhope and relax no one knows." somehow Jungkook clearly missed when other said "the one who thinks he killed Kai" The fear of getting caught was something that mattered the most to him at this point.
Jungkook :"but you know?"
Jhope :"well, yeah, except for a few. But don't worry your secret is safe in here. "
Jungkook :"You are saying you and a few more strangers know about it and it is still safe?"
A smile was brought up on jhope's lips. A calm and a most professional smile Jungkook ever saw as Jhope let the next words slip his lips so smoothly. "You are the actual stranger"
Jhope : "Nothing is hidden in here but nothing also goes out of here. Kai worked here so ofcourse its obvious that we know about it." Giving a slight nod Jungkook looked around once then back at Jhope. He didn't know if there was really someone to trust. He was suddenly getting wrong vibes of the place. He was regretting stepping in here but something about it was making him more and more curious about this place.
Jungkook :"When is Jimin coming back?"
Jhope :"Depends on how long Sir is going to keep him. Sit down, if you are planning to wait outside then believe me inside is way too better than that." Not knowing what that meant, not that he wanted to know either he just sat down along Jhope.
Jhope :"So I heard you played Texas Hold EM and won over Suga" That's when Kook knew nothing was really hidden in here. Jhope was right when he said that.
Jhope : "Suga here is really someone who would find reasons to hate people and now he have another reason to hate on you" He laughed way too casually leaning back comfortably on his seat.
Jungkook :"I just won a game. Not like I have anything to do with him. When you are playing its obvious you can't win each time." He made sure to let himself sound as confident as he could but he could feel himself pouting internally at the stupid confusion and stupid people in here.
Jhope :" You are too innocent, trust me. "
Jungkook :" What's with everyone calling me innocent? First Jimin now you. I know everything I need to know at this age. I am not a kid." That innocent thing really did irritate him each time. What was oh so innocent about him? That he didn't have sex. No wait that was his personal life people here wouldn't know about it right even if nothing was hidden in here. Oh, if he could tell how much hearing that annoyed him always. Jhope only laughed in return letting his bright smile lift up the mood till Jimin returned.
Jhope :"Everything good?" he asked getting up suppressing his laugh. "Jimin shook the file in his hand a bit." Yeah perfectly. "To that Jhope nodded simply knowing what could it be and left to where ever he came from. Jimin looked at the younger looking quite annoyed.
Jimin :" And what happened to you? "
Jungkook :" I am so done with you all taking me as innocent. "He mumbled annoyed with his arms crossed sulking back in his seat." yeah that's because you are still virgin "Jungkook threw his head back getting even annoyed.
" I swear I will break your teeth if you say it one more time you midget. "Jimin stopped midway while he was about to take a seat on couch." What the fuck did you just call me!? "
Jungkook :" A midget so what huh? Midget midget midget. No wait I should actually change your name from zebra to Midget in my contacts. "He said as he took his cellphone out to change the contact getting a push in return from jimin who looked like he was about to explode any moment.
Jimin :" You wouldn't fucking do it! "The push made Jungkook move his upper body to his side a little, his fingers still working on his mobile screen." Oh yeah watch me do it you midget. "
Jimin :" Then watch me change your name to "the most innocent bunny ever" huh! "
Jungkook :" What the fork! Why ae you so annoying!" He groaned." I didn't even do anything to annoy you. Want me to try huh? "The two stopped once they realized everyone had their attention on them since they were yelling while bickering like 5 year old kids. Jimin cleared his throat taking a seat quietly opening the file and started reading the instructions while Jungkook was getting too embarrassed. So everyone knew their nicknames too in this oh so called nothing is hidden here building.
He straightened himself too trying to avoid everyone's gaze till they went back to their work. Peeking over the file Jimin was reading he decided to ignore it feeling his phone vibrating in his pocket seeing yn's text. 'My last class cancelled, I will go to cafe first , see you later." He bit his lips wanting to ask her to wait for him however he didn't. He knew he should've still he ignored it.
''What are you doing for today?"He asked as he turned to look at Jimin who seemed quite lost in taking all the details written in the papers. "Free for now, then I Have work at night.Why?"
Jungkook: "Let's go to casino. I will use my own money this time." The statement stopped Jimin's movements for a moment as he shifted his eyes from the papers up to the younger. Somehow he was reminded of Suga's words when he told him Jungkook only came for the night.
Suga:" He will come back, once you step in here there's no 'one time thing' When he comes back set me up with him."He squinted his eyes out of his drunk state trying to keep his focus on the cards as he started to see double and triple copies of them. Jimin didn't remember the words till suddenly they echoed in his brain.
Jimin:" You sure? what if I ask you to think again?"
Jungkook:" I am still going" he said without really thinking much because he knew if he did.....he would step back
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two were currently in the casino, the same from last night. Jungkook made sure to remember all the ways to the place since he didn't want to disturb the other each time. something about the place pumped his adrenaline and brought this chills down his spine. he kept thinking back to yesterday night when he easily ditched the others with his cheat. he couldn't wait to do it all over again. Jimin set them up for a game again. the two guys from last night weren't there anyways according to Jimin they must be working. Jungkook was sitting with completely new guys whom he didn't even knew names off. he let himself remember each thing Jimin told him about expressions and bluff as they played a huge role. he started off with confidence that kept boosting with each game he played and took over. the scowls he received in return from his opponents was another level of satisfaction .Jimin was right when he said it felt like drugs - the satisfaction. the guilty pleasures
he smirked leaning back in his seat when one more person took leaving filled in disappointment after losing a huge sum of money. "guess I can take a day off work." he said looking at all the money he won within the last three hours. The other just gave a shook of head with a chuckle in return. Jungkook was insane...even to him. He was really something. a gem needed to be cut and polished in to a diamond.
Jimin: "next time you come here, I am going to set you up with suga. trust me he is dying to beat you up in a game"
Jungkook:" in less-violence term you mean to win over me in a game?"
Jimin:" Not really, I meant what I said. He doesn't care about wining. to him, when he is in a game other .The opponent is supposed to lose and a loser should never take the rank of winner."
Jungkook:" it all means same though. If others lose then he will win? "he ignored taking in consideration to his words ,taking out a bundle of money from the bag feeling it. He was feeling nice by the sudden touch of this money money in his hand. Not like he ever suffered for it. He had enough to take care of his expenses but who would ever reject holding it right?
it was 6pm now when the two were returning back home. Jimin offered to give Jungkook a ride. The two practically spent eight hours in the casino. Jimin even left for a few hours to the backside of the casino where Jungkook had no idea what was there. He had enough confidence at that point to deal with people alone. he noticed getting a few looks from people at the way he was dressed all casual then again he gave no shits about it. He was not a business man to start with anyways.
Jimin:" what are you going to tell your girlfriend?"
Jungkook: "I wont tell her. "he said ever so quietly, it would be hard for Jimin to hear if it was not complete silence in car. the elder decided not to push it further as Gguk seemed to be uncomfortable about the topic.
Jungkook: what about you, don't you have anyone in your family to take care of? "The other didn't respond. The sudden uncomfortable silence that took over was suddenly making him feel hesitant about things he was really getting himself into. Was this really right? to escape something he was getting himself in to something even worse. But then again casinos are legal right there should be no problem with it.
"hey I am asking you that--" he was cut by elder asking him to stay quiet. the car speed suddenly started increasing. He was getting sudden wrong vibes about this whole situation. He followed other's eyes who kept looking in the rearview mirror. That's when things clicked and he realized they were being followed. A black SUV following them each turn he took. one car turned in to several SUVs and he realized it was a huge row of black cars following them. for once he felt like they were returned to that fast and furious movies again however, the situation seemed too serious to joke about.
Jimin: "There is a file in the backseat. Grab it quick and turn to third page." Jungkook quickly obeyed to how ever the other said even if he had no idea about the current situation. he almost fell over the other if it was not the seatbelt- once car took a harsh turn. Taking a hold of the file he flipped through pages in rush stopping at it waiting for next instruction.
Jimin:" a few numbers are written in the middle. check if anyone of the cars you see behind have their plate number mentioned in here." Jungkook felt his heart beating rapidly against his chest. He tried to do as he was told while trying to protect his head from banging in to the door over and over again. Jimin was driving like a maniac. He swore his whole life over it each time they took a turn he believed the car would flip over and they would be dead right on the spot.
Jimin:" Tell me already!" He yelled while trying to keep escaping the lunatics who were reaching up to him. He needed to work his brain, he needed to know if they were the ones he was suspecting , he would know the way they work and how he is supposed to deal with them. Like RM always said; to defeat your enemy you need to learn them more than yourself.
Jungkook:" y-yeah I think I see it, a car have it's numbers matched with these ugh fuck !"He groaned when his side collided with the car door as the other took a turn without a warning. He failed to noticed the way others eyes gleamed way darker than they were before.
Jimin :" hold on tight" Jungkook complied faster than light letting the file fall off him, holding the car handle as if his whole life depended on it. Jimin stepped on the pedal letting car take a full 180 turn stopping it facing the cars that took a harsh stop some colliding with the others.
Jungkook: "W-wait why did you stop it!?" Ignoring his panic , Jimin opened the glove compartment revealing it filled up with two of the guns along with their magazines and bullets in a big amount to fill. He picked up one filling it's magazines with bullets.
Jimin:" Don't come out of the car. I mean it." The threat hidden in his voice stick Jungkook to his seat as the other stepped out of car pulling the safety off the gun. As he stepped out he threw his hands up in surrender to let the others know he meant no harm. Oh boy if really that was the case.
Slowly everyone started stepping out of their cars, they were bunch of men, none of them seemed to befriends with peace. "So you are still not peaceful enough even after robbing our factory.... Apesters " He had a calm smirk on his face as he watched his opponents giving no change of reaction.
Jimin :"C'mon I was going to meet your boss tonight myself. He didn't need to set this up or maybe let me guess mmm." He suddenly threw his gun away as if it wasn't the only thing that could save him at the moment.
Jungkook :"That fucking idiot, he think it's a movie. They have God damn guns." He cursed while crouching down not to be seen by the others. A series of curses slipped past his tongue as he debated if he should call the cops or not. If only he himself was not running away from cops he would never hesitate to do so.
Jimin :" Your boss got the news of me coming over and boom he sent his dogs to get rid of me because that coward was way too scared of me. Ah that gives me satisfaction." He bluffed feeling himself to its fullest. That playful mood turning on as he made sure to enjoy to its fullest each time such situation would be in front of him. Each time.... The death would be standing staring back into his eyes.
Jimin :" Why are you not shooting C'mon. That's your chance." He watched closely how everyone's grip on their guns tightened when his hand slipped in his pocket. He withdrew his hand out his pocket the next moment only to reveal a cigarette packet as he took one out, lit it up and started smoking exhaling the smoke out in air.
One of them stepped forward who seemed to be the team's head. "Hand over the file RM gave you" he said in his calm voice but everyone knew the threat hidden behind it.
Jimin :"Give me a nice reason to do it." He shrugged, hearing a few of safeties going off the guns ready to shoot him on the spot. However, he had another plans. "If you don't, I won't hesitate to shoot you."
Jimin :"Even if I do you will still shoot me. Oh how about you go ahead and get the file yourself. You look too smart. C'mon macho man you can do it." He mocked the other as much as he could. The other could just shoot him out of his anger without holding any grudge against him and he knew really well. He just waited and waited for the right time.
Man :" It's not a joke Mr Park Jimin, you failed last time too. Saving your factory."
Jimin :"Because I let you." A smile appeared on his lips as he let the next words leave his lips watching everyone getting high on guard in panic. "3..... 2..."
Jimin :"Boom!" suddenly water started pouring out of water spray installation wetting everyone from head to toe. That was the moment they all realized they were under a road bridge. The moment they tried firing at Jimin their guns didn't work anymore. The water restrained their property to shoot. They pounced upon Jimin all at once ready to kill him on spot. Jimin was fighting back each of them for the sake of his life now that the weapons were not working anymore he had the chance.
He stopped the car under a bridge on purpose. It was the same place where the explosion took place two months ago. When the whole country was in a lock down he stood in front of window from Jungkook's apartment and watched the construction. The upper road lead to the building that was exploded. The way was blocked since it was still under construction. Due to the fear and the incident that took place they installed water spray system under the underpass for the safety. He lit the cigarette on purpose to let its smoke breakout the water sprays.
Jungkook covered his head even if he was in the car, he would move up occasionally to look out for Jimin. The guy was fighting like crazy. The more he watched him fighting and getting hurt in between he wished if he could step out and help him. "the fuck he thinks of himself, is he Michael Jackson." He cursed once again balling his fists in furry. He didn't want to leave the other fighting outside all by himself they were too many in amount he stood no chance. Or to Jungkook atleast he was going to die this way.
Swallowing the lump in his throat he opened the glove compartment once again picking up the gun letting himself breath in and out slowly to stay calm. He learnt taekwondo, he knew he could fight back but he was not really sure about it. The others seemed to be quite amazing at what they were doing. He kept telling himself to use it when it's the most needed. He slowly stepped of the car still kneeling down on to the floor hiding behind the car aiming the gun at man laying on the floor all beaten up previously by Jimin. The guy started gaining his consciousness as he started reaching his hand out to his coat pocket to take out the gun hoping it was still working.
Jungkook's hands shook as he closed his eyes letting out a loud breath. He felt his heart going to jump out of his chest. It was now or never. He wanted to return his favor. The other saved his God damn life. He aimed at the opponents arm and then fired. He did it.... The moment other was going to shoot Jimin. He did that. Hearing the gun shot everyone stopped in their track looking for the one who shot. Their eyes fell first on the man who was shot. Jungkook missed his target by an inch or two shooting the guy's chest who died on spot.
He stood up moving away from car and shot a few of the people who fell dead right on the spot. The people who were breathing a few seconds ago were laying lifeless on ground just because of him.... He was the reason. Right after three shots the gun stopped working and they heard police sirens nearing them. All of them ran to cars for the sake of their lives leaving the dead bodies on floor. Jimin stood their shock for a moment then ran up to Jungkook throwing him in car then getting in next and drove off the place before the police arrived the place.
Jungkook sat there all silent, without speaking another word as he stared at his hands, the gun resting in his hands. He just killed people. He was having trauma after one kill - or thinking about killing someone and he turned himself in to a murderer himself. He never meant to do it. He was going to shoot the other's arm but as soon as he realized the other died and he missed his target, he stood up finishing his work. One murder then might as well a few more but they say.... Finish once you start something.
Jimin drove off away from the scene and once he stopped the car he hit the steering wheel out of furry. "Are you fucking crazy!! why did you do it I was fighting right!?!?" he yelled on the top of his lungs demanding answers. He was angry, upset, frustrated. As much as he wanted to keep Jungkook out of this shit he was falling more and more into this and all because of him.
Jungkook :" I wanted to return the favor. "He mumbled, his eyes stayed - starring at his hands which were not filled with invisible blood. But he knew, he was not innocent anymore.
Jimin :" What? "
Jungkook :" I said I wanted to return the favor. I couldn't see you dying. I didn't want to kill someone but It just happened. It just........ Happened." He said a bit louder this time, in his usual tone to let the other hear his words clearly.
Jimin :"They saw your face. You know what that shit means? They consider you one of us. You killed their men. They are going to haunt you everywhere and kill you as soon as they land their hands on you which is not hard at all."
Jungkook :"Take me to your boss, let me stay beside you then." He broke the silence that fell over for the past few moments.
Jimin :"Jungkook!!" He warned.
Jungkook :"Please"
