"thanks for the tea, jungkook." minseok said as he took the teacup jungkook was handing to him.

jungkook made a cup for himself and sat next to minseok on the bed. they were both dressed now and there was no tension between them.

"he is just so annoying!" minseok continued talking about his father after taking a sip. "and everything is about money, money and money! I'm so sick of such life, I want to live normally without having to do any of this. I'd enjoy reading books in a quiet room rather than playing poker with other high class people."

"oh I totally get you, I'm also not a fan of such games and atmospheres."
jungkook supported the younger.

"oh and also, we live in this huge mansion, right? and I dont even get the hype about it! why do we need this big house for only the two of us?" minseok gave out information and jungkook listened to him as if he were  some psychologist.

jungkook honestly loved talking with the guy but he had to go on with his mission. he didnt have to hurry anywhere but he wanted to finish this task fast.

"... and honestly it's stupid! who hides that money in a closet in their bedroom? I feel like that isnt very smart even though they are locked in a safe."
minseok suddenly stopped and looked at jungkook with big eyes, jungkook returned the look.
"omg did I just..."

jungkook looked at minseok as if he was the stupidest person on earth.

"I should not have told you this!!! jesus christ.... please dont tell anyone I told you this and dont tell my father and just nobody omg please i–"
minseok quickly said after realizing that he had just told jungkook where his father's money is located.

"hey relax... I won't tell this to anyone." jungkook gave minseok a little smile and took minseok's hands. "you trust me, right ?"

minseok took a second to think and then answered: "yeah I do..."

they sat in that position holding each others hands. and jungkook couldn't help but feel comfortable like this.
maybe after years of cold blooded murders it felt nice to get a feeling of love again.

"oh is that a tattoo you have there? can I see it?" minseok asked jungkook after noticing how his pants lifted up revealing something black on his ankle.

"o-oh that? no its nothing actually.." jungkook panicked and got his hands away to move his pants down in order to cover the tattoo.

"why?? I love tattoos so much, show me!!" minseok whined like a little child and tried getting a hold of jungkook's leg.

jungkook fought the best way possible trying to not hurt the younger but minseok was stubborn.
he finally caught jungkook's hand and pulled up the fabric on his leg.
at that same moment minseok's eyes widened and he backed away from jungkook.

"is-is that.... are you a-?" minseok's face showed fear and panic. jungkook didnt think minseok would know the meaning of his tattoo, but judging by the terrified look on his face, he probably did.
"you're from the malgeun pi gang?????"

jungkook slowly nodded as he looked at minseok with an expressionless face.

minseok suddenly stood up from the bed and ran to the door. he tried opening it but it was locked...of course.
minseok started to knock on the door aggressively and screamed for help.
jungkook, realizing the scene the younger was causing, ran up to him and tried to pull him away.

"be quiet! people will hear you!" jungkook whisper screamed as he tried to catch minseok's arms.

"no!!! no please dont kill me!!!! jungkook please!!!!!" minseok yelled and kept on hitting the door in hopes of escaping.

"stop screaming or I'll shoot you!!!" jungkook couldn't hold back and yelled at the younger.

minseok immediately closed his mouth and slid down the door as tears ran down his cheeks. he collected himself into a ball by holding his knees to his chest.
jungkook sat down next to minseok and looked at him sadly.

"p-please, i-i didn't do anything... I even told you where the money is, just-just dont kill me..." minseok cried and looked up at jungkook.

"I'm sorry, minseok but that's my job and i-"

"jungkook PLEASE!!!!" minseok started crying even more and jungkook felt his heart tear apart.
jungkook was a heartless murderer and killed every single person he had to without any feelings, but now.... what happened now?

minseok held his head with both of his hands as he felt it spin.
"what's going on... I feel like ...." minseok spoke quietly and closed his eyes.
"what did you put in the tea...?"

the drug is working...

jungkook moved closer to minseok and grabbed his hands again. he found the action weird but he liked the feeling of holding hands with him.

the drug was doing its job and minseok was about to go unconscious.
jungkook did notice that he had lost one of the bags with the drug he brought, but didnt give it much attention, thinking he simply forgot to take it with him in the first place.

"jungkook, I... I beg you." minseok said before closing his eyes and falling on the floor quietly.

jungkook scoffed and looked at minseok.

"what the fuck!!?!?!!?!??!?!?!" jungkook yelled and hit the wall next to him with his foot.
he reached for the gun in his pocket but then stopped.
the bundle of thoughts in his head seemed to have made a loud noise that stopped jungkook from doing anything at all. his mind was blank.

suddenly jungkook heard gunshots.

"fucking hell..." jungkook whispered and started running around the room, collecting his things.

jungkook ended up putting minseok in the back of his car. he hoped the action of carrying out minseok would go unnoticed but things took a surprising turn: a couple of guards ran up and helped jungkook carry the guy after believing that he simply overdosed with his drinks.

jungkook looked in his back mirror, hoping to see who was creating all the fuss. he saw how police cars gathered around and that's when jungkook understood it was time to leave for good.

❦

after escaping the building, taehyung went into his car and drove to his wanted destination.

he was happy he finished this mission... well, almost. all he had left was to get to choi shiwoo's house and take the money.

taehyung was genuinely curious about where jungkook disappeared to. it felt like he just vanished.
but the only thing that mattered to taehyung now was the money.

after finally reaching the house, taehyung parked his car and went to the front door of the house, unlocking it using the code he got from choi.
taehyung didnt waste time. he had to admit, the house was gorgeous and he'd love to look around, but there was no time for that.

taehyung went up to the third floor and froze.
there were scattered articles of clothing everywhere. the closet door was opened and the unlocked safe was lying on the floor.

taehyung slowly walked over to the mess with confusion written all over his face.

who did this and how???

taehyung squatted down and observed the safe. it was completely empty, all the money was gone.

"jeon jungkook....."
