"Jimin,please call me more. The fact you are in enemy territory alone is already scary but you don't even call,all types of negative thoughts hog up in my mind" Taehyung said to Jimin who he was on call with.

He heard a light chuckle from Jimin. Walking towards his apartment building as he is coming back from "work". He got inside the elevator and pressed the button to his floor.

"I am sorry tae. We didn't leave off on a good note last time so I thought you were mad and also these people work a lot.There's so much shit I found but nothing too good. I have been informing Hoseok hyung all about it" Jimin answered.

"You know I can never be mad at you. That's good,you are doing great if they are trusting you this much already. Hobi hyung told me about that,that's why I was kinda pissed you didn't call me first but I get it" Taehyung said to him as he was now standing in front of his home. He unlocked it with the key card and went inside.

"You know work comes first before even our lives. Enough about that,Guess what"

"What..?"

"Yoongi Hyung works here too" That shocked Taehyung as he froze in his footsteps.

"Are you serious? Yoongi hyung? Hobi's boyfriend Yoongi??? the innocent i-work-at-the-vet yoongi??" Taehyung exclaimed. Sitting down on the couch to swallow this information.

"Yes that Yoongi Hyung. Our first interaction was very weird" 

"Ofcourse it was,considering the fact we have never even told him we are all part of this shit. All that because we didn't want him to be involved but he is already in this shit. Did Hyung know this?" 

"I don't think he does. I didn't tell him this yet because I don't know if it is my place to tell. Well he specifically told me not to tell Hoseok" Jimin told him. Taehyung scoffed.

"As much as I want them to talk I think we should tell Hoseok hyung he should know in case he told something to Yoongi about his profession and the fact Yoongi is a part of that dickhead's gang is already bad enough!!"

"I know I had to play it well because he doesn't know that I'm a spy and asked him how he ended up here and he told me he has been a part of this for the last 6 years. That's before he and hyung even dated. I made up some excuse about how I left my job at 'coffee shop' because it wasn't paying enough and joined this. Surprisingly he believed me" Jimin explained to him. Taehyung hummed in response.

"You should keep an extra eye on Yoongi. Something is not sitting right with me about him. What else?" 

"Oh yeah,I have checked the whole base there's literally nothing fucking important here. The whole gang lives here and they have these meetings everyday to discuss their future plans and daily tasks. All the files are locked up in the boss's office and there's no sign of any drugs or any type of 'slaves' here. We thought he would be like his brother but I think he is worse." 

"Why do you think that?"

"Every morning around 10am he goes somewhere. Not to his house where his family is living but somewhere else in the North part of Seoul,near the forest. I was going to follow him but it has been hard sneaking out so you should follow him. I'll put on the tracker and share the tracker's location with you,are you in?" 

"Hell yeah,Just tell me when you want to do it and I'll be ready. this is more important than anything-" Taehyung stopped when he heard the door click and looked to his right to see Jeongguk coming out of his room...and a guy next to him. He looked like one of the guys he saw at the bar. He raised his eyebrow at the dude.

"Jimin,I'll call you later,I need to hang up"  He quickly hung up the phone when he saw the two boys noticed his presence.  He put the phone on the table as his eyes fell upon the guy.

"Taehyungie hyungie hyung,you are back" Jeongguk said,saying Taehyung names so cutely. Eunwoo chuckled at it.

"Yeah….who is this? you look familiar"

"Oh this is Eunwoo,My friend. You probably saw him in the bar last time we went there. He just came to inform me about this plan of ours. He is heading out now. Let's go~" He said as Taehyung just hummed in response. Not really interested in the boy. Jeongguk held Eunwoo's hand and dragged him to the front door.

 A smile on Eunwoo's lips and a frown on Taehyung's when he saw their hands locked. It made Taehyung think for a second. Two young boys in one room with nobody home and now they are holding hands. All the sirens are going off in the older man's head. He is having a hard time thinking of the possible outcomes.

Jeongguk came back and took a seat next to Taehyung who now found himself glaring at Jeongguk. "Why are you looking at me like that?" 

"Are you and that boy dating?" Taehyung asked him,making Jeongguk choke on the air

"No?? why would you think that??"

"Jeongguk I know you are a hormonal teenager-"

"I am not a teenager I'm in my 20s"

"Do not interrupt me,where was I? ah yes i know you are a Hormonal man in your 20s but I beg you do not fuck in my home" Taehyung told him He saw a very confused expression on the younger's face.

"I am not fucking anyone in your home. Don't worry,why? Are you jealous? you know I am a young man in my 20s I have my needs you can always volunteer so the only one I fuck in this house is you" The sudden atmosphere changed when he said that. He has no idea how he said something bold and Taehyung was equally shocked.

He played it off with a sarcastic chuckle as he looked at the younger with his intimidating eyes. "Permission denied. Do not ever ask me that again. I just saw you and your friend getting out of your room and this was the only explanation that made sense. Also Why will I be jealous? I don't even like you. 

"Ouch,you are so mean Taehyungie. Well I told you he told me about this trip we are going to. Our friend group planned since we got some days off from University" 

"Oh, when though?"

"This weekend...would you like to come?"

"No,have fun" Taehyung responded, making Jeongguk roll his eyes.

"Come on, you have to come, it would be so fun. Let me take you out please" Jeongguk tried to convince him.

"I don't want to go on a date with you Guk"

"it's not a date, ok all my friends would be there and you already met them. We would have so much fun" 

"Jeongguk, listen I am a busy man I don't have time for going on a little trip with your friends" Taehyung said back to him making Jeongguk frown.

"Taehyung, I have been living with you for almost a month now and I know Friday and Saturday are the days where you have the least work. So please come with us so you can relax" Jeongguk tried to persuade him but Taehyung was a hard nut to crack.

So he used his final straw. " Also...I'm a bit scared, what if Jiwon comes back and bothers? he already fought with me,You told me his brother is in some gang too what if they come after me..I know It's none of your business and literally why would you protect me it's not like I am important to-" Before Jeongguk could finish he was cut off by Taehyung.

"Fine,I'll come. If that motherfucker comes any near you I would kill him on sight. I don't care he has hurted you alot already,also he kinda made my ego deflate by not believing me so it's better for him to just not show up" Taehyung responded to him. 

Jeongguk's doe eyes lit up with excitement,a smile making its way to his soft lips. He can't believe that it worked, he feels a bit bad for using Jiwon as an excuse to make Taehyung come since he has no idea what that man is up to now. But it's okay as long as he gets to spend more time with Taehyung the better. 

"Are you serious??? oh my god. I am so happy. Thank you for always protecting me,Hyung. I owe you a lot. I'll make sure your weekend is a blast" Jeongguk kissed his cheek in excitement and went to his room without looking back. 

Taehyung says they are stunned at what just happened. Sudden affection by him always caught him off guard and he doesn't think he will ever get used to it. Without even realising, Taehyung found himself smiling. A warm feeling peeking through his chest. Something he hasn't felt since...forever.
