taehyung was happy.
well... kind of.
while yoongi was too busy taking care of minseok, taehyung went around setting people against minseok. his mission was to kick the guy out of the gang.

minseok seemed suspicious to many people, and right now jin, namjoon, jimin and even jungkook were all against minseok. taehyung also discussed this with some other gang members he was close with and succeeded in gaining their hatred towards minseok.
a big part of taehyung was scared that minseok would find out. if he knew things nobody knew, there was a chance he realized what was going on, but so far, minseok has been quiet, spending days in yoongi's office.

"yoongi–"

"what?" yoongi opened the door only to see taehyung stand in front of it.

"what's going on? you've been in the office for so long... with minseok." taehyung said.

"minseok just isn't feeling well." yoongi replied. he looked tired, both physically and mentally. "you need something?"

"I need to speak to you... it's something regarding minseok." taehyung said.

yoongi stared at him silently for a while and opened the door, letting taehyung in. they took a seat across from each other on the armchairs.

"what is it?"

"you see..." tae rubbed the back of his head. "minseok has been acting weird lately. and not only me, but many others suspect him of... being a spy."

"a spy?" yoongi arched a brow in disbelief.

"I don't know what causes his weird behavior, but apart from it I noticed a strange tattoo on his nape." he explained.

"listen." yoongi lowered his voice. "minseok... has a certain condition, and he lost the pills that help him deal with it. that explains his behavior."

so yoongi knows... taehyung thought.
"why can't he get a refill or something then?"

"there are... reasons." yoongi exhaled. "taehyung, minseok and I go way back... we were close ever since we were children and I trust him. I want to help him."

"what if he has been lying all this time?" taehyung got a scary glance from yoongi and quieted down.
suddenly yoongi got some important phone call and left the office. taehyung glanced at the door that lead to the bedroom and quietly walked over to it. judging by the tray with food and water next to it, minseok refused to open the door and eat.

taehyung slightly tugged on the door handle and, to his surprise, watched the door open. taehyung peeked inside and furrowed his eyebrows.
the bed sheets were all messed up, some clothes scattered on the floor and a window was widely open.

"no way." taehyung ran up to the window in hopes of finding minseok dead on the ground. "aw, man, he didn't jump out the window... what a shame."

after walking around the room for a little, taehyung stopped. clearly yoongi didn't know minseok ran off... then how did he disappear and where was he now?
taehyung rushed to the door and saw yoongi who was rushing down to the elevator along with some guards.

"check the surveillance cameras!" he yelled. "how the fuck did the alarm not go off, you imbeciles?! call the security from the first floor!"

"what's going on?"
taehyung turned around and saw namjoon who looked fairly startled. he was peacefully passing by with a stack of papers and a cup of coffee.
"why is yoongi so mad and scared?"

"looks like somebody stole our sacred private info that's locked up on the first floor... you know that room only yoongi has access to?" taehyung explained. "somebody broke in."

"wait what?! holy shit, taehyung." namjoon said. "who could it be though? we never let trespassers in."

"...minseok." taehyung whispered to himself, not being sure if namjoon heard him or not.
taehyung rushed out of the gang building and caught a taxi that would drive him to the malgeun pi gang.

taehyung was sure minseok was the one who stole the information. what will he do with it now? purposely give it to their rival gang? keep it for himself?
in reality, taehyung thought minseok would do something to jungkook. if he knew jungkook was alive, then he surely would try to do something to him to hurt taehyung. most of all, with that disorder of his, who knows what was going on in his head and which personality was in control.
what if he had more of them?

taehyung rushed to the building, but suddenly stopped and took an abrupt turn to the right, hiding in between the bushes.
they won't let him in... so there must be a different way.

he remembered of the time when jungkook got into the geomeun gang and they had to hide in the closet since yoongi and namjoon could've caught them. the flashback made him smile... but not for long.

after taehyung slowly and carefully moved through the bushes, he finally got to one of the walls of the building. he wasn't sure where exactly he was since the greenery around the gang building was more of a jungle rather than a garden.
before taehyung could take another step, he felt himself get grabbed by the collar and thrown against the wall. jungkook's hands trapped taehyung between the wall and himself as his eyes locked with taehyung's.

"there are cameras, you idiot." jungkook whispered. "what the fuck are you even doing here, huh?"

"j-jungkook you're alive!" taehyung's arms wrapped around jungkook, catching the younger off guard. minseok hasn't done anything to him yet.

"I have been for twenty years." jungkook pushed taehyung away. "what's the matter with you?"

"I thought you were in danger and–"

"come to your senses! what are you blabbering? are you hallucinating?" jungkook shook taehyung by the shoulders.

taehyung frowned and stayed quiet, so jungkook grabbed his arm and led him into the building.

"what are you doing?!" taehyung yelled trying to escape from jungkook's grasp. "jungkook!"

taehyung didn't understand what jungkook was trying to do. he dragged taehyung into some unknown office which, as taehyung soon realized, was hoseok's office.
jungkook threw taehyung quite harshly inside, but taehyung tripped over the carpet and fell onto his knees in front of hoseok's desk.
jimin was sitting on top of the table, sucking a lollipop while hoseok was signing papers. they both looked at taehyung who was on the floor, and then at jungkook, who was leaning on the door.

"again?" hoseok rolled his eyes.

"mm!" jimin took the lollipop out. "elevator boy! what are you doing here?"

taehyung stayed quiet, looking around the office. his eyes met jungkook's, but jungkook coldly looked away.

"call greg, the security guard." hoseok spoke into the intercom and leaned on his chair, exhaling loudly in frustration.

"sir?"
jungkook walked out of the way to let greg in and took a seat on the couch. from there he had a nice view of taehyung who remained on his knees on the floor.

"please tell me why this male was roaming around the gang territory?" hoseok asked.

"uh... I'm sorry, sir, we have security at both entrances, but you never said to have security in the garden-"

"so what?! if I didn't say it, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be there?!" he yelled. "this is far not the first time this happens! why do we keep on having trespassers, huh?! I told you to do something about this!"

"sir–"

"last night harold the janitor came into my office asking if the toilet should be cleaned!" hoseok kept on yelling. "how did he get in?!"

"you said yourself that janitors have access to your office-"

"only until 11pm! it was 11:02!!!!"

taehyung watched the fight in awe. was he supposed to be here? did they forget about him already?
while hoseok and greg continued arguing, jimin came up to taehyung and crouched down to get on his level.

"relax." he patted taehyung's head as if he were a dog. "this shit happens a lot."

taehyung nodded and felt jimin raise him to his feet and sat him down on a chair, close to hoseok's desk.

"jungkook, why are you not doing anything?" hoseok blamed jungkook for nothing out of nowhere.

"nothing? what am I supposed to do? I caught taehyung and brought him in!" he yelled back.

"well–"

"shut it!" jimin screamed. "all of you!"
he pushed greg out of the office and walked up to hoseok, massaging his shoulders in a calming manner.
"relax..."

"right... sorry for this." hoseok took a deep breath to calm himself. "anyways... taehyung, why are you here? aren't you scared of us?"

"me? scared of you?" taehyung chuckled.

"you should be."
taehyung froze upon hearing the click of a gun behind him. his smile immediately faded. jungkook walked up to the elder and placed the tip of the gun against taehyung's head...
"still not scared?"
