"-okay, clearly you've never heard real music, kid. Comparing Queen to Lady Gaga is just-"

"Lady Gaga is a queen-"

"You are SO gay."

"Yes, I am. I'm gay and confused as to what's the big hype about old 80's music. Listen, I grew up around Namjoon and Yoongi, and all they ever did in their free time was talk about music! Never let me listen to my music." Jungkook huffed, crossing his arms.

Taehyung pursed his lips and continued driving. "You probably listened to One Direction or something."

"No! I mean.. yes. But that's besides the point. I know my taste in.. stuff is stupid." Jungkook mumbled, and Taehyung looked at him for a split second.

"No it's not. You're allowed to like pop music, Kook. Hey, in your defense, One Direction had some bops." Taehyung said, and Jungkook gasped.

"I know right! But- um- thanks. Th-that's nice of you." Jungkook giggled, and Taehyung smiled a little.

"I'm not being nice, I'm being decent. Earlier I said you were good at reading directions from Google Maps and you blushed. Seriously, kid, it's like you've never received a compliment." Taehyung snickered, and Jungkook blushed a little.

"M'not a kid." Jungkook said quietly, and then bit his lip. "It's just.. I guess I've always been around older people. And.. no one really acknowledges you when you're the youngest. They just think you're a bother who they have to babysit and-and- I don't know. They treat you like you're a baby." Jungkook mumbled.

Taehyung slowed the car down and stopped it, since they were at a red light. Taehyung turned to Jungkook, hands on the steering wheel.

"Didn't you have friends your age? Like, in school or something?" Taehyung asked, and Jungkook snickered, looking down.

"I was homeschooled."

"What about your brother? He was close to your age, no?" Taehyung asked, wondering if the topic was too sensitive to mention.

But Jungkook didn't flinch or look a little offended by his question. "He was three years older than me. Even then, we never really got along much. He.. didn't really like me. Never knew why. I-I guess it was just one of those older brother things. He would always bully me and even hit me." Jungkook said.

Taehyung looked back at the road, lowering the volume of the radio. "I guess older brothers do that.. in a teasing way." Taehyung said, and Jungkook scoffed.

"I don't think so. If I didn't do something for him he'd punch me in the gut. Everytime I'd cry he would laugh at me and call me a pussy. He used to scare me with a gun with no bullets; make me think that they had bullets in 'em. Sometimes when-when it used to thunder o-or rain, he knew I was scared of it, s-so he'd throw me into a closet and l-lock it."

Jungkook looked a little shaken, so Taehyung turned to him, and placed his hand on Jungkook's thigh. "You alright?" Taehyung asked, and Jungkook looked at him feebly and nodded.

"Yeah. Um. Sorry." Jungkook said quickly, and Taehyung chuckled.

"Stop apologizing. Anyways, your brother sounds like a dick. Didn't any of the guys ever stand up for you?" Taehyung asked, and Jungkook sighed.

"They told him off.. barely. It's-it's not a big deal." Jungkook said quickly, and Taehyung could tell he sounded a little uncomfortable.

"Alright. But you can talk to me if you want. I never really had.. anyone in my life. Bit of a longer growing up." Taehyung chuckled, and Jungkook giggled.

"You? A loner? Doesn't seem correct. You're so.. I dunno.. alluring." Jungkook said, and then instantly blushed after saying it. He heard Taehyung chuckle.

"Alluring, am I?" Taehyung asked, and Jungkook looked out of the window of his car, feeling his heart beating a little.

Taehyung was talking to him like he was an adult. He was talking to him like he was genuinely interested. He seemed to actually like him.. as a friend, at least. That itself make Jungkook's stomach take turns.

Jungkook walked into the little dining hall, where everyone was sitting around, eating food that their gourmet murderer chef made (a great combo). Jungkook's eyes went around the room, trying to find a certain silver haired boy.

But he couldn't find him. He did, instead, find a blonde haired boy. Jimin, talking to Yoongi. Jimin was blushing, cheeks bright pink. Yoongi was talking to him about something, a small smile on his face.

Jungkook walked up to them tentatively, hearing Jimin laugh. "Good morning." Jungkook said, and they both turned to him.

"Good morning Kookie." Yoongi said, ruffling his hair, making Jungkook whine a little and push his hand away.

"Did you sleep well?" Yoongi asked, and Jungkook nodded, hair flopping as he did.

"Yeah. Came back a little late though, from the club which I went to with Taehyung." Jungkook said, and Yoongi's brows furrowed.

"You-you went for the Tuan investigation with Taehyung? Does your father know?" Yoongi asked, suddenly looking a lot more serious.

Jungkook gulped. "I.. think so." Jungkook let out, and Yoongi pursed his lips, giving Jungkook a look which Jungkook saw as 'pissed off'.

"You could've gotten hurt, Jungkook. I don't know why Namjoon let you go," Yoongi muttered under his breath, and Jungkook scowled.

"I asked him! And it was just an investigation, I didn't-"

"Don't you have, um, exams or tests or something you should be studying for?" Yoongi asked, and Jungkook looked at him with a look of disbelief, eyes a little big.

"I-I graduated three months ago, Yoongi. You-you were there." Jungkook said in a small voice, and Yoongi sighed, looking away from Jungkook.

"Right. Anyway, I'm going to go talk to Namjoon. Jimin, I'll see you later, yeah?" Yoongi asked, and Jimin nodded his head, giving him a small smile.

Yoongi returned the smile and then walked off, and Jungkook didn't fail to notice how Jimin bit into his lip and blushed ever so slightly when Yoongi turned around.

"What's going on with you two?" Jungkook asked, and Jimin looked at him, blinking.

"What? Nothing, why would you-"

"Please, Jimin. I could see you blushing at his words from a mile away. And when you guys met yesterday, you were talking as if you knew each other for years." Jungkook said, and Jimin sighed, and then turned to Jungkook, moving closer.

"Remember that Sugar Daddy I told you about?" Jimin whispered, and Jungkook nodded. "Well.. that was him."

Jungkook gasped, and Jimin pressed his finger against his lips, as if telling him to shush.

"What?! But-but Yoongi joined this Mafia when he was, like, 18. And, you-"

"Yeah, well I didn't know he was in a Mafia. That's kinda why we broke up. You should've seen me after we broke up. Oof. I cried for a whole month, did cocaine on the daily, and almost died, like, thrice. I really did like him a lot." Jimin said in a small voice, and Jungkook smiled a little.

"Well, now that you both are finally in a good place. Why don't you.. y'know.. get together again?" Jungkook asked, and Jimin scoffed.

"No. What? I-I don't have feelings for him. He doesn't have feelings for me. We-we're over. It- forget it, Jungkook! I'm going to go get some apple juice." Jimin mumbled, and then Jungkook saw him hastily walk away.

Jungkook snickered to himself. He turned and saw Namjoon walking towards him.

"Hey Joon-"

"Jungkook, have you eaten?" Namjoon asked, and Jungkook shook his head.

"I was just going to-"

"Okay. Do that. Then, your father wants you to do gun training." Namjoon said, and Jungkook pouted.

"Oh, b-but I don't want to.." Jungkook whined, and Namjoon gave him a stern look.

"You've been postponing it for ages, Jungkook. You have to do it some time.It's just shooting a gun at a target. I'll get Taehyung to help you." Namjoon said, and Jungkook's head perked up when he heard Taehyung's name.

At that, Jungkook nodded. "Alright.. where is Taehyung, by the way?" Jungkook asked.

"He's giving last night's information to your father. About Mark Tuan, and such." Namjoon said, and Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows.

"But-but I wanted to give it too!" Jungkook said, and saw how Namjoon didn't hear him (or didn't care). He was too busy, checking something on his phone.

"Okay. Kook, can you tell Hoseok, Yoongi, Taehyung, and Jimin to meet me in the basement at 3?" Namjoon asked.

"What for?" Jungkook asked.

"It's just a meeting for an upcoming drug order." Namjoon explained, and Jungkook looked a little hesitant.

"Can.. can I also join?" Jungkook asked, and Namjoon snickered.

"It's adult stuff, Jungkook." Namjoon said, a nonchalant look on his face.

"But- I am an adult." Jungkook tried letting out, and then saw an amused look on Namjoon's face.

"Sure, baby. Listen, you can go watch a movie in the big tv in the lounge, okay?" Namjoon said softly, patting Jungkook's cheek.

Jungkook's breath hitched in his throat. He blinked at Namjoon a few times, before nodding. "O-okay. I'll tell the others to come see you at 3." Jungkook squeaked, and Namjoon smiled.

"Good boy. Don't forget your gun training." Namjoon said, pinching Jungkook's cheek before walking away.

Jungkook sighed to himself, watching Namjoon walk away.

Ever since school ended, he was hoping he'd get to do more of these missions with the boys. They always had so much fun doing it. Jungkook just wanted to be included in the 'adult' things. In the meetings, and talks, and the parties or whatever. But he never was.

He was still treated like a baby. Yet, never fully. They always treated him like a baby, but never loved him like one. Never showed actual appreciation and fond and care.

"Jungkook!" Jungkook heard loudly, and then saw a silver haired boy who was wearing a loose black t-shirt and a red bandana walking over to him. Jungkook smiled a little.

"Hey Tae," Jungkook said, and saw Taehyung smiling mischievously.

"Here." Taehyung whispered when he got closer, taking out a little chocolate tart. Jungkook's eyes widened.

"I remember you told me yesterday that you liked them. So I got one for you." Taehyung said, and Jungkook felt his cheeks redden.

"You..you remember that?" Jungkook squeaked out, and Taehyung chuckled.

"Yeah. I just saw a maid taking a tray of little tarts to your father's office so I stole one for you. Hope that wasn't a big yikes!" Taehyung said, smiling sheepishly. Jungkook giggled, taking the tart from his hand.

"Thank you. That's.. sweet." Jungkook said gently, and Taehyung winked at him.

"No biggie. I told you I liked Henessy so if you see any of them." Taehyung said, and then pointed at himself with his thumbs, making Jungkook laugh.

"I think I saw a bottle or two lying around." Jungkook said, and Taehyung smirked.

"Yeah? Well, for next time then, doll." Taehyung said, and Jungkook smiled, blushing a little.

"Yeah. Next time." Jungkook repeated softly, his stomach doing flip flops.
