Ch.58
Namjoon's P.O.V.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was doing our last deal with the boys today. We had one crate left full of supplies, so we were doing a big sell today. After this, we'll have all drugs off our hands. Seokjin and Yoongi already helped me handle the back up supply in the country. They gave it to another gang for some profit. All the money we earned was never really for just pocket money. We didn't bathe in it like greedy creatures. We all had our own uses for it. Today would be the last time we get money so hopefully everything goes well. Okay, maybe I'm hoping for a little bit of excitement. I know the rest of the gang is itching for something to go slightly wrong too. Maybe they have backup or the refuse to hand over the money. Something fun like that.
All the money I earn today will go straight to finishing off the debt. My Mom is really astonished everytime I give her money. The debt is shrinking faster than she would have ever expected it to. It's not like it's going to disappear with a couple hundreds though. It's still ways away until Mom can relax and not stress about the debt anymore. Hoseok was saving his money for the future, Taehyung uses it to support his family so his grandparents don't have to work hard, Jungkook uses it to practically live by himself like Jimin, Yoongi uses it to survive, and then Seokjin uses it to take care of his truck and make sure his sister gets what she needs.
We were all packed in the truck right now. (F/n) was staying in the warehouse to wait for us to comeback. Just a second ago we all waved to her and now we're ready to feel adrenaline for the last time. Rollercoasters and anything innocent doesn't cut it. They don't give the same effect that deals do. It's quite addicitive. Sure, we were sad that this was our last but it's hard to stay sad during a deal. This is a deal! Each member can't wait to do their job and possibly break a guy's nose. It's going to be great. Seokjin was driving with a smile as he told us many of his Dad jokes. Hoseok sat in between us as I took the passenger's seat. In the back, the first years were squished with Yoongi. The third year sat behind me with the order Taehyung, Jimin, and Jungkook next to him. They were all goofing around.
"Hold on with your jokes for a second, Seokjin." Hoseok pulled something out of his pocket. A small black device. "I brought a speaker. Let's blast some music to hype ourselves up for the deal!"
"I'm ready for blood! How more hyped can you get!?" Yoongi grinned, bouncing in the back.
"Calm down, Hyung!" Jungkook laughed.
"Blood! Blood!" Yoongi continued as Jimin chuckled.
"I don't remember deals ever being that violent," Jimin said as Taehyung shrugged. Hoseok got the speaker to work inside the truck. Seokjin swayed his head side to side as the song played. I turned around in my seat to take a good look at everyone.
"Besides Yoongi, who's ready for the deal?" I asked as Yoongi f*cking screeched. Was he high or something? Taehyung was cracking up in laughter. His stomach was hurting and Jimin couldn't respond with a straight face. The only one to get a sentence out was the maknae.
"I'm definitely ready." Jungkook pounded his fist into his palm.
"The hell was that?" Seokjin glanced at his friend through the rearview mirror.
"I was cheering, you b*tch!" Yoongi shouted.
"You're so loud today, hyung," Hoseok commented. "Don't hurt your singing voice."
"I'm so good, I don't even need to warm up. Watch me." Yoongi put on a serious expression. The truck was silent as we waited for our ear drums to burst. He never sang and Taehyung nudged him. "...I don't know this song."
"D*mn it, hyung." I laughed, hitting my head against the head rest.
Hoseok switched the song to a famous one the boys often sang too. Yoongi started it off with a quiet voice. His tone was actually decent until he started to belt. His voice would crack so much and occasionally he wouldn't even scream. The blue hair would open his mouth as if he were singing, but nothing came out. Hoseok eventually joined the disaster. Jungkook used the flashlight on his phone as he swayed to their song. Taehyung faked tears at the 'angelic' voices and Jimin was trying his best not to laugh too hard. These were the times I treasured. I'll take them with me wherever we go in the future. To keep me sane, to remind me who I am, and just for smiles.
"Okay, okay, quiet down already." I watched the duo pout. Yoongi scoffed that I shut the show down, suddenly becoming a diva for five seconds before not caring anymore. "I'd just like to congratulate a certain member in this car. One who's really young and struggled the hardest to grasp his dream. His passion is in his blood and that's what led him to signing a contract with Jam Entertainment. Congratulations, Park Jimin!"
"Yeah! Jimin!" Hoseok clapped loudly with the blue hair and brunette in the car. Taehyung quickly hugged Jimin tightly.
"Good job, Jiminie!" Taehyung laughed as Jimin blushed at all the commotion about him. He was embarrassed but also enjoyed the attention. He was being recognized for his hard work and talent. No one was telling him to hide it anymore.
"Thanks guys...I'm going to work harder to make sure I make something of myself." Jimin bowed his head down.
"Nicely said. It's cool thinking we have two famous people in this truck." I glanced at the eldest member who began smirking wide.
"Wow Jimin, we're gonna be signing autographs and looking good in front of a camera." Seokjin glanced at the blonde through the rearview mirror. Jimin shook his head at the thought.
"Make sure to give the gang a shout out when you guys get famous." Jungkook grinned.
"Don't tell them you were in a gang though." Yoongi warned the two. They of course knew better than to admit that to the whole world.
Taehyung took the speaker from Hoseok's hand and raised the volume. With that, Jimin began to do a shimmy in the back seat to hear the music. Jungkook was moving his arms in the air and making shapes with them to dance. Taehyung moved his head back and forth like a chicken while Yoongi only snapped his fingers. Hoseok and Seokjin swayed side to side at the jam. I rolled my hands around each other and felt the music. We all enjoyed ourselves before arriving to the location. Jimin, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Seokjin sang different parts in the song. Yoongi, Hoseok, and I took the rapping portions. We three didn't ever really sing seriously unlike the other four who actually tried and sounded a lot better. They did compliment us on our rapping though but it's all for fun.
Soon I told the boys to focus and get their game ready. We were nearing the set location of the deal. It was a gang we hadn't worked with before. Taehyung told us that as long as we treat them right, we're most likely going to get out easy. They get mixed reactions as a new gang. Others say it's easy to deal with them and others say not to bother. Time to find out what's the truth then. It's not like we're ever going to deal with them again or with any other gangs. I never really bothered to befriend the gangs in this town. They became familiar with us and we could depend on some more than others, but we never really had brother gangs. That just didn't sound like a good idea to me and Yoongi told me from the start to keep ourselves isolated from them. It's good that our warehouse is farther from the scattered gang hideouts in town.
Seokjin unlocked the truck as we rolled through the area. He slowed down the car slightly, but we were still going at a fast pace. We wished Jimin well and he jumped out, rolling on the ground before bolting to a high location. Hoseok winced to hear the thump, muttering how he still couldn't believe that the blonde was able to jump out of a moving car with no problem. Jungkook shrugged and I told him that he was simply trained to do so. It wasn't easy in the beginning. Jimin didn't like doing anything at first and it became a slight problem. Taehyung was worried that he made a mistake by bringing Jimin onto the team. The maknae was getting annoyed, but in the end, Taehyung knew that Jimin was meant to be in the team, so I believed him. Even if Jimin was giving me slight trouble. I would talk to Jimin anytime we were alone in the warehouse to get him comfortable with the gang and doing deals. And he became irreplacible.
Seokjin circled around the abandoned construction site. He was looking for the right spot to hide and for Jimin to give him the all clear. Jimin needed to be in a high spot before we started. Seokjin also made sure the car was still moving in case he needed to quickly come to Jimin's rescue. Yoongi handed the knives out to Taehyung and Jungkook in the back. Everyone had their gloves on and Taehyung pulled a majority of the drugs onto his lap. They were all stuffed into a backpack. It was filled to the brim which made it hard to zip close. That's when Jimin gave Seokjin the all clear. We had our ear pieces turned on to keep track of each other. I grinned at everyone in the car.
"No regrets tonight, boys."
"Hyung, I'm gonna miss this." Taehyung whined as I nodded.
"I understand." I ruffled his hair as Seokjin slowed down to drop us off.
"I'm gonna get a tattoo of your face on my face so I never forgetâ" Taehyung started and I immediately had to shut the fool down.
"No, Taehyungâ" I sighed, but Yoongi covered for me.
"If you do that then I'll skin you." Yoongi pulled out his knife. Taehyung swallowed hard and didn't protest. Hoseok and Jungkook held back their laughter as Seokjin told everyone to get out. I knew Taehyung was mainly joking for the most part. I still couldn't trust him since he was kind of a wild card at times.
The five of us exited the truck quickly with our weapons concealed. It's be proven that showing your weapons doesn't really set intimidation. All it does is create a lack of trust and tends to cause more issues than necessary. They'll know we're armed anyway. We'd be stupid not to be. Seokjin drove off to a hidden spot to wait for us. A place where it wouldn't be to hard to come back for us to escape. I walked in the lead, in front of all the boys. By my side was Jungkook who was already flexing his muscles. Behind us were the other three, Hoseok, Yoongi, and Taehyung. Hoseok could help ease tension and Taehyung could help talk about the information he was given when setting up the deal. Then Yoongi was used as intimidation because he was the Min Yoongi. He came with a lot of perks besides knowing where to get us a load of supplies.
We walked further into the construction site. I looked around the silent area with suspicion. Jimin spoke to us, saying that they were deeper inside. We had to pass the beams of buildings and walk over to an actual unfinished building. It gave the same eerie feeling that the warehouse originally did. Except this place still felt really off. Yoongi came closer to me, muttering to be on full alert. These people have never worked with us before. They're unfamiliar. Taehyung was starting to wonder if they were even here, but Jimin assured us that they were. He sounded like he was hiding something though. Jungkook told him to spit it out.
"I saw them through the unfinished roof," Jimin stated.
"Well where are they? We're stepping inside," Jungkook uttered glaring at nothing. Footsteps could be heard now. They were coming down and we all became more alert.
"One more thing." Jimin's voice was nervous.
"What is it, Jiminie?" Hoseok asked.
"They're a girl gang," spoke Jimin before staying silent. We couldn't talk to each other in front of the other gang.
All our eyes widened as we saw them come down making us all become tense. They were in fact, a female gang. It's not like they were new. They existed but just weren't as common. Usually a few females would be in a predominately male gang. Only three girls walked over to us which was strange. They're a really small gang then. Not a smart choice in my opinion. How come some people say they're hard to work with then? My suspicions were high as Taehyung came to my side. He didn't know they were all female, but it didn't really matter. As long as we get rid of all the drugs we have on our hands and get the money we're owed. Then we can go home happy.
The woman in the middle who I assumed to be the leader stood tall. She seemed to be older than Seokjin as she eyed us over. She had two people standing behind her. One about Seokjin and Yoongi's age and then the other one looked around the first year's age. My guard was up as I tried to figure out why they could be hard to deal with while actually handling them. Did they try to lower the amount of money they owed? Use their body to get their way? Not happening with my gang. The eldest didn't seem to play around while the youngest kept gazing in Yoongi's direction. It was making the blue hair next to me slightly uncomfortable, but he tried to ignore it.
"We hear this is your last deal ever. I'm Vene." The leader put her hands on her hips.
"RM. And it is." I sighed. "So the way we work is seeing the money first."
"I heard you like to get to the point quickly." Vene chuckled. "Satin, show them a sample." The second oldest nodded and held up a bag with a lot of money. Not the right amount, but she did say sample. The youngest who I still didn't know the name of was staring stronger at Yoongi.
"That's Suga." She nudged Satin who rolled her eyes. Vene quickly glared at the young one for speaking.
"Sorry about Clover." Vene's eyed landed on Yoongi who wasn't enjoying the spotlight. It's not anything he's new to. Other gangs always show interest in him. How did we get him in the gang? They tease him and wonder if he's still the demon he was known as. That old reputation occasionally gets on his nerves since it brings back bad memories. When he was angrier at the world. "It appears you have a well-known face in your gang."
"Yeah whatever, I'm Suga." Yoongi held up a bag of weed in his hands. "Here's one bag of what you guys asked for. Care to show us the rest?"
"Well we don't work that way." Satin closed the bag of money. She hid it behind her back and glanced at Vene. Jungkook was getting ready for any sudden attacks. They weren't compromising that well. Jimin wasn't speaking to us and it formed a pit in my stomach.
"How do you work? I'm sure we can easily get what we both want." Hoseok jumped in with a smile. "I'm J-Hope!"
"J-Hope, huh? You certainly think on the hopeful side." Vene snapped her fingers. Jungkook took a quick step in front of me for my protection. Nothing happened and we were showing our paranoia. Jungkook's glare was strong on all three women.
"Gosh...we didn't think you were that on edge." Clover frowned. "...but you do have good reason to be."
With a flash, Clover dived in Jungkook's direction. I took a step back to notice her stabbing Jungkook's thigh with a needle. Taehyung was panicking at this point. He started talking to Vene about the order. Vene wasn't really listening to him though. Hoseok took a step-in front of me in case they tried pulling something else with me, but I was more worried about Jungkook. He was holding Clover's tiny wrist and forcefully pushed her away. He removed the needle and tossed it to the side. The maknae was going to use his taekwondo on Clover but stumbled to the side instead. Yoongi gritted his teeth to see our muscle struggling to control his own limbs.
"JK!" I shouted.
"What'd you do to him!?" Yoongi growled, grabbing Clover without hesitation. She looked at him with wide eyes.
"I-I, oh my gosh!" Clover's face was turning bright red. "S-Suga is touching me!"
"Gotta be f*cking kidding me." Yoongi shoved her onto the floor. "Brainless." Clover hit the ground in shock. She stared at Yoongi like she was broken hearted.
"Sad that your muscle has been tranqulized." Vene gave a side glance to Yoongi who was panting angrily.
He froze to hear that and checked the maknae. Not everything in the shot was injected, but it was enough to still do some damage. I glared at Vene for making our job tougher. They knew our positions already and took out Jungkook because of his strength. They knew he would be the biggest problem to deal with. He could take out five people all by himself. Now we had to finish this deal with Jungkook down and take him back to Seokjin safely. Taehyung pulled out the knife Yoongi had given him and quickly got a hold of Satin. She squeaked as he pressed the knife hard against her throat. Vene didn't seem to care one bit that her two girls were getting treated like trash. She only pursed her lips as I ordered Yoongi to take Jungkook out of here. Best to do that now then struggle later.
"Bring him to Jin," I said to hear Vene tsking at me. She knew exactly how to crawl under my skin. "What? What is it now?"
"It's not a good idea to leave right now." Vene smirked as I heard Jimin's voice finally talk into my ear.
"RM...we're surrounded. I'm sorry." Jimin's voice was acting calm. "They have five girls with guns on me. Jin has seven pointing guns at him. He's trapped inside the truck." I couldn't believe this. Three members was too little. Here I am finding out Vene has fourteen girls she puppets around. She didn't seem to care for them, but they all listened to her anyway without question. These are the types of gangs I hate, but most of them were like this. My gang was a rarity.
"...f*cking hell." I groaned as my men heard this. Taehyung gritted his teeth to know his best friend and eldest hyung were surrounded. Worse than us. They were alone and had a bunch of guns pointed at them.
He lowered the knife swifly and struck Satin's thigh without warning. She screamed at the pain, her body getting pushed onto the ground soon after. Taehyung wasn't typically violent. He mainly fought with his fists and didn't crave the sight of blood unlike some members. The silver haired quickly hurried over to get a strong hold of Clover who was still staring at our blue hair. Yoongi licked his lips at his dark thoughts as Jungkook tried not to drift off. They were becoming violent and I needed them to stay calm. Luckily, Hoseok still had himself under control. He took another step towards Vene with a bright smile.
"How do you guys do deals?" Hoseok questioned before his smile fell. Vene held up a gun that was hiding under her shirt. She kept it aimed at Hoseok' head with a scowl.
"Your positivity is sickening." I heard her cock the gun. All she needed to do was pull the trigger.
Before I could do anything, Yoongi moved fast. He came from behind Vene to raise her hand up to the sky. A bullet shot out and Hoseok wasn't hurt at all. For a second, I thought the craziness was going to stop until Yoongi decided to stab Vene near the throat with the tranqulizer. Scrunching my face at the sight, I watched her body drop onto the ground. Hoseok was stunned and nudged her body to see if she would move. Jungkook let out a soft chuckle as he moved his head slightly. He still didn't have the best control over his numb limbs yet. Taehyung was silent but impressed with his hyung. It wasn't until Vene started twitching that he looked away in disgust.
"I'm not even going to ask if she's going to live." I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"You know the answer." Yoongi grinned, turning his head to look at Clover. She was trembling in Taehyung's hold, the knife harshly pressed against her skin. "I'm assuming you don't. You're too...unscathed. I'm sure this experience will leave you with something though."
"Agh...she'll survive." Satin grunted as Clover struggled to nod. Her sharp eyes lingered over to me. "RM, good luck trying to escape."
"Thanks for the tip." I walked over to take the sample money and tossed one bag of weed at her. "Let's go boys. J-Hope, carry JK. V and Suga, let's go." Hoseok and Yoongi nodded at my demand right away. The third year took her gun and left Vene's body to come to my side. Hoseok held Jungkook like a baby to catch up with us.
"You're lucky you don't have a single bruise." Taehyung removed the knife away from Clover. She gasped as if she couldn't breathe for a long time. Taehyung's glare on her burned. "Don't hurt my family ever again."
I lifted my arm up for Taehyung to run under. He stayed close to me, feeling better to have my arm wrapped around his shoulder. The silver haired mumbled in frustration how scared he got when Hoseok got the gun pointed at his face. He scolded himself for going for Clover instead of Vene. Hoseok shook his head at the boy's worry. Then Taehyung asked Jungkook if he was okay which we were all wondering about. He wasn't completely unconscious, but just really out of it. Jungkook couldn't lift his head and his words were extremely slurred. Eventually he settled for giving us the slowest thumbs up and we took it. I told Jimin that we got some of the money and we were on our way out. He didn't say a thing.
Taehyung was getting incredibly nervous. I didn't want him thinking that anything too bad would happen to any of us. We all knew that we could possibly lose our lives doing these deals. Those were just one of the many risks we took. Only a few times have we ever thought that we were going to die. Right now, all I felt was muted adrenaline. It was pulsing through my veins, but it was hard to feel since I was numb with anxiousness. Jimin wasn't answering me and Seokjin didn't have any weapons on him. The eldest was becoming Taehyung's worry now. Seokjin didn't like to fight since he could get his face hurt. He preferred racing away from angry thugs and that's why he refused to ever carry a weapon. D*mn it all.
"What are we gonna do now?" Yoongi questioned, staring at the gun in confusion. There was only one bullet inside for some reason. He tossed the gun away and began looking up at the unfinished buildings. He was trying to spot Jimin. It's possible that they could shoot us from up there, but that was a risk I was willing to take. Why so many people on a single person? Only for intimidation? Then only one bullet in her own gun for just one shot? The excessive guns didn't make sense. It looked like all the girls Vene had wrapped around her finger were young and most likely impressionable. I kept thinking about the best way to approach the situation.
"JM?" I asked one more time. Nothing was coming in. "Jin?"
"...I can't talk..." Seokjin's voice came through. It sounded like he was speaking through gritted teeth.
"Will they shoot you if you move?" Yoongi narrowed his eyes in annoyance.
"Yes..." Seokjin was breathing heavily.
"Okay, calm down. We'll get you safe soon." I promised. "We're going to go get JM first and then we'll come to the rescue. We managed to deal with our situation." Seokjin didn't say a word after that. I was going to try with Jimin again. I knew he was able to hear us. He just couldn't talk.
"Stay strong, Jin." Taehyung smiled.
"JM, you there? I have a strong feeling that each girl only has one bullet in her gun." I furrowed my brows, looking for the tallest building. "They seem like a new gang with not much experience or equipment. Only their leader seemed to know the gang world, but that's about it. Their methods are suspicious. It's a crazy feeling, but I doubt they're willing to kill anyone. The guns are just for show because they want to be taken seriously and intimidating."
"Woah...you're so cool, RM." Taehyung stared at me in awe.
"Gotta love his brain!" Hoseok grinned. Yoongi smirked at my thought process. I didn't find my thinking anything special. It was basically me trying to make connections and relying a lot on hope. I can't be sure that the others only have one bullet, but I'm going to risk it. I needed them all to have faith in me and it looks like they were without question. It put a smile on my face that they trusted me as a leader that much, but I didn't want to let them down. Be safe, Jimin. We're coming to get you.
We started walking around, clueless to where Jimin could be. There were so many building's, but I knew he would be at the tallest one. They were all towering over us though. Jungkook tried speaking to us all of a sudden, making us stop in our tracks. His words weren't clear in the slightest. Hoseok frowned as he watched the boy struggle to speak. The maknae probably hated feeling useless at a time like this. He relied heavily on his body. His own position is centered on his body so he might be pretty frustrated. We'll make sure he doesn't get anymore damage on him. Hoseok tried shushing the boy from speaking. The red head told him softly that it was okay to feel angry. 'Don't speak, we know how you feel' he said. Jungkook was glaring and attempted to nudge his head, staring intensely at a certain spot. I noticied that and followed his gaze. Narrowing my eyes, I eventually saw a couple of figures at the top of a building.
"Stop trying to talk, Jungkook. Just wait until it fades away. Don't force it to act strong." Hoseok smiled sweetly.
"No, Hoseok. He was pointing out where Jimin is." I tapped his shoulder and pointed it out in the distance. They all turned and saw what I was seeing. "There."
"Oh...nice job, Kookie!" Hoseok cheered.
"Let's be quiet. We have to get there secretly. They surprisingly haven't seen us yet." Yoongi eyed them. They were clearly circling someone who was most likely Jimin. The third year was careful to go unnoticied in the shadows as he hid into a ditch. Taehyung followed with determination and Hoseok slid in. I followed behind them and we tried entering at the side of the building. Right now, the sun was setting almost completely which would make hiding easier but fighting harder. Hoseok's arms eventually got tired so he set down Jungkook near a concrete mixer. No one was going to abandon him though. Hoseok and him were going to rest here while I went up with Yoongi and Taehyung.
Hoseok knelt down to watch Jungkook working on moving his body little by little. Licking my bottom lip, I was still nervous as we climbed up the building. Nothing here was really stable. I did my best to be quiet and secretive, but I didn't trust myself. Yoongi and Taehyung were easily climbing up the rickety stairs. They were going a lot higher than me and I felt disappointed in myself. I have to try hard! I'm getting Jimin back to safety. At that thought, my foot went through one of the planks. It fell down about thirty feet at least. I almost fell through and clutched at my surroundings. My eyes were wide and I was breathing heavily. Do I seriously have to start breaking things right now? I'm in the middle of something important! Glancing up at Yoongi, he had a sympathetic look in his eyes just like Taehyung. It's no longer cold like it used to be. Past Yoongi would be frustrated with me for making a mistake like that.
"RMâ" Taehyung whispered as I shook my head. This is for the best though it kills me.
"Suga, take care of V and the situation. You're in charge of saving JM," I said as he his lips thinned. He didn't go against my word and nodded.
"Okay. We'll catch up with later." Yoongi gave me a look that made me feel confident.
He can definitely handle this. He tapped Taehyung's shoulder to continue moving so they could finish the job. Taehyung didn't budge at first and his eyes looked like a puppy being separated from one of it's parents. He frowned, but eventually followed Yoongi up the building. They had to go rescue Jimin. They shouldn't be weighed down by me. I owed them that. Letting out a sigh, I tried to be even more careful as I went down the stairs. The sound the plank made was so loud to me. It was still ringing in my ears by the time I reached the ground. Dusting off my hands, I wandered the bottom and looked for the two members I left down below. As I began to search, someone came up behind me.
"Are you looking for me?" Hoseok's voice asked. His voice was instantly recognizable to me, but I still jumped at the surprise.
"Don't do that!" I hissed to see him chuckle. Putting my hand over my chest, I breathed calmly and looked around. "Did you leave JK alone?"
"Wait, RMâ" Hoseok held his hands up.
"He can't even move! Where is he!?" I panicked.
"I hid him because he told me too!" Hoseok grabbed my shoulders. "He's able to talk now and can move his arms slightly."
"But...where is he?" I furrowed my brows, still looking around. Hoseok opened his mouth to answer until we heard multiple gunshots go off. My heart began racing. Please tell me they all missed my members. We looked up at the tall building utterly speechless. It took me a second to get my sh*t together. This is when the ear pieces come in handy! "Suga? Is everything okay? Answer me!"
"Motherf*ckers...we're fine," Yoongi muttered. "The moment we showed up, they shot randomly. All their aims suck."
"Or they don't want to kill." Hoseok looked at me, a corner of his lips rising up.
"Murder is messy and I doubt this new gang wants to handle that yet with newbie members." I smirked. Taehyung told me that Jimin was fine. He was alive, just terrified since one girl still had her gun pressing against Jimin's head. I could hear the females giggling but not much than that. It was hard to make out any of their sentences and Hoseok had the same problem as me. Then we heard more gunshots. The thing was, they weren't coming from where Jimin was but with Seokjin. Did he move? "Jin??"
"Can't talk yet," Seokjin quickly said with a clearer voice. I could hear the faint sound of the truck's motor in my ear. Hoseok and I glanced at each other, putting the pieces together. He probably handled the girls and was driving away from them for safety. And to rescue all of us as quickly as possible.
Hoseok and I sighed heavily. A lot was going on for our last deal. I guess that's what I wanted. Sort of. I would have liked a little more control over the issue. Something like this is probably one of the most problematic deals we've ever had. (F/n) will kill me if anything happens to any of the members. That's why we won't mention Jungkook get tranqulized to her or guns getting pointed at Jimin and Seokjin when they were completely helpless. The less she knows, the better. (F/n) was just happy that we got to have our last exciting deal and then we'll be completely safe. Maybe I'm starting to see things her way, but whatever. I'm just waiting for two of our members to come down with a safe Jimin. It made my stomach do flips to think any of my members could be getting hurt right now.
"Ugh, all this for weed!" Hoseok growled with a bag of weed in his hands. Wasn't Taehyung holding the weed backpack? It's not like we're going to keep the weed. They can keep it if they wanted it so badly. We're happy with the sample money. Suddenly, Hoseok tossed the bag of weed at my chest.
"The hell? I don't want this!" I threw it back at him.
"Me neither!" Hoseok gave it back to me.
We kept throwing the bag of weed back and forth. Hoseok never gave up. For some reason he was dead set with the weed ending in my arms. That was not happening. As we kept tossing it, we heard more gunshots coming from the building. Instead of dropping the bag like normal people, Hoseok and I were intensely quickening the pace like an extreme battle of hot potato. We were getting nervous to hear the guns go off. That meant that some still had bullets. One girl had her gun pointed at Jimin's head according to Taehyung. This was not good. Hoseok and I were both screaming at this point. I needed things to go my way, but they weren't. I threw the bag roughly at his chest as someone popped up. Hoseok screamed loudly and threw the bag of weed at their face for defense.
Immediately, Hoseok and I stiffened up to see who had shown up. It wasn't any girl from the gang. They were still out of sight. The bag of weed was stuck on their face for a few seconds. Soon the bag fell down onto his shoes to reveal their expression. Crossing my arms, I sucked in my breath while Hoseok smiled nervously. It wasn't my fault a bag of weed hit his face. Yoongi stood growling, unpleased at the sudden attack from his own members. Whoops. He ran a hand through his faded blue hair to calm himself down, but it wasn't exactly working. He was still gritting his teeth at us.
"What is this?" Yoongi huffed.
"A bag of weed," Hoseok answered.
"No, I meant why were you two idiots messing around instead ofâwait. Where's Jk?" Yoongi scowled.
"Why aren't you with V and JM?" My brows knitted together. I gave him one job and now he's down here scolding us. A ton of guns went off up there and he's upset about a bag of weed.
"They're fine." Yoongi sighed. "They have things under control since they're better fighters than me. Most of the girls are knocked out so they'll be down here soon. And JK?"
"Inside the concrete mixer!" Hoseok chirped as my eyes widened.
"That's where you put him!?" I yelled to see him flinch.
"He told me to..." Hoseok frowned.
"Doesn't mean you do it!!" I brought my hands to my head. This was getting ridiculous. Yoongi was surprised to know this new information as well. He kept a 'what the f*ck' face. Out of all places, honestly.
While I judged Hoseok's choices for listening to the maknae, Yoongi pressed his ear piece closer to his ear. He was confused and trying to focus on the sounds he was hearing. I paused during my rant to listen to it. Hoseok said it sounded like a broken radio. This most likely wasn't coming from Jimin and Taehyung's side. Seokjin said he still couldn't talk, but we were sure that he was handling it well by himself some how. Yoongi huffed as he walked away. He muttered that he was going to go look for Jin by himself. Hopefully he doesn't get himself into anything by doing that. We still didn't know how many gang members could be walking about with a gun. Even one bullet is still enough to kill someone.
I bit my lip as I checked the building. Jimin and Taehyung weren't coming down at all. Where were they? Yoongi said that they were handling things nicely up there. Hoseok asked for answers but no reponses came in from them. They were silent and that didn't help me relax one bit. I needed the boys to be safe. The red head next to me saw me stressing out and tried talking to Yoongi as a distraction. In the middle of combing my hair with my fingers, I heard a loud rumble coming from Yoongi's side. It sounded like he was content on the other side. I looked over at Hoseok with big eyes. Does that mean Seokjin's doing okay? We both walk over to the side to see a black truck coming over. Seokjin had a smirk as he drove over with Yoongi smirking too. The eldest parked right in front of us, enjoying how our jaws had dropped.
"What? Didn't think I could handle myself?" Seokjin asked. "That's right. Your getaway driver knows how to handle himself."
"Okay, don't get too cocky." Yoongi rolled his eyes. Seokjin only grinned at us as he came out of the truck. Hoseok and I grew only more perplexed at the situation. What was going on?
"Jin, why did you get out of the truâwhat are you holding!?" I furrowed my brows to see a gun in his hands.
"This is how I fought off the ladies. Works wonders." Seokjin winked at us.
"Did you--?" Hoseok was afraid to ask and the eldest shook his head right away.
"I didn't kill anybody. I just pretended to run them over." Seokjin chuckled. "Now where are the rest. I want to get the hell out of here."
"We're working on that." I held up one finger for him to wait.
Running inside the building, I climbed up the stairs as much as I could. Crazy, but I didn't feel like falling through the stairs due to my destructive nature. Hoseok followed me as we waited for the boys. I was about to call out for them until we saw a leg sink through the stairs and heard screaming. That's Taehyung. Hoseok and I climbed higher to go save him. He was struggling and crying out for help. When we arrived, he immediately cheered up and held his hands out. Hoseok and I took one hand each and pulled him out. He gave us a boxy grin, enjoying his freedom and the fact that he didn't die from that. Glad to know I'm not the only one struggling with the stairs though.
"And JM?" Hoseok asked.
"He went down the other exit. I'll go find him," Taehyung said as I was about ready to jump off the stairs. Why do they keep scrambling around? I wanted to make sure they were all safe and in front of me.
"There's another exit?" I groaned.
"Yep. I'll be back!" Taehyung tried walking off, but we didn't let him go by himself. We had a strong feeling that he would only repeat the accident if he wasn't being careful. Hoseok and I brought him down to where Yoongi and Seokjin were. "Jin! You're alive!"
"Impressed?" Seokjin grinned.
"Very!" Taehyung clapped his hands. "Well, I'll go get JM."
"Can you get JK while you're at it? He's inside the concrete mixer." Hoseok shouted as the boy wandered off. I shook my head and Seokjin was weirded out. Probably wondering why we put the baby in there in the first place. I had no proper explanations for anything.
Everything that has been happening so far has been crazy. I'm ready to call it a night and go back to the warehouse already. (F/n)'s probably sleeping peacefully on the couch. Unaware that seven idiots are avoiding getting shot by thousands of girls. Well, it looked like all the girls were dealt with. Seokjin refused to go back into the truck. He was too busy playing with a gun that could possibly still be loaded. Hoseok didn't trust the older member and went inside the vehicle with Yoongi. Shoving my hands into my pockets, I was growing impatient. If Taehyung doesn't show up with Jimin and Jungkook then I'm going to search for them myself. The younger members worried me the most.
Seokjin then nudged my shoulder to point the boys out. Finally! Sighing in relief, I watched Taehyung coming running towards me with a giant smile. He was proudly showing the boys and repeating that he found them. He hugged me tightly, laughing out of joy. Patting his back, I ordered him to get inside the car with the others. Taehyung happily got inside as I spotted Jimin trying to help Jungkook walk. The maknae was stumbling and it looked like each step took a lot of energy. That idiot. It's tiring seeing him trying to be strong in front of us. Even now. Shaking my head, Seokjin was frustrated too to see Jungkook avoiding help.
"Give me your arm." Jimin frowned.
"No! I'm fine...I got this." Jungkook huffed. His words could be understood, but they were still a bit slurred on certain parts.
"JK, take his help!" Seokjin hollered to earn a pout from the maknae. Jimin took Jungkook's arm and wrapped it around his shoulder. They came closer to us so I inspected Jimin. He wasn't hurt by them. Maybe a scratch at most, but he was fine. Thank goodness.
"I'm sorryâ" I started as the blonde shook his head.
"Don't worry about me, RM. Let's just go back. I want to see (F/n) already." Jimin smiled as Jungkook grinned.
"Me too!" He chuckled.
Grabbing the brunette's other arm, I helped Jimin get him into the bed of the truck. He was still tired and recovering from what was injected in him. We laid him down now that he wasn't protesting to our help anymore. By the time we reach the warehouse, he'll be back to normal. For the most part. Like Jimin, I couldn't wait to see (F/n) either. I liked seeing her check us for injuries. She's so protective over us. Giving Seokjin a thumbs up, he was about to enter the truck again until a girl came out from the building. Holy sh*t. Seokjin was panicking as he got into the car. Yoongi quickly took the driver's seat to get us out of here. We're going to die if he drives us. Why did I have to be in the back without seatbelts? Biting my lip, I witnessed Seokjin poking his head out the window with a gun.
"Duck!" Seokjin shouted. You got to be kidding me. I brought Jimin down with me before shots were fired. Jungkook rolled his eyes to have us on the floor with him. I could sort of see what Seokjin was doing. Yoongi reversed the car, making the girl think she was going to get crushed. She didn't shoot at us but Seokjin did try to shoot her gun out of her hand. "Aw d*mn...I really suck at aiming."
"Do I have to do everything?" Yoongi growled, taking the gun out from Seokjin's hands. "Take the wheel!"
We all sucked in our breath as the car began moving forward. Seokjin was struggling to drive the car from the passenger's seat but was doing just fine. Hoseok and Taehyung peeked out the window to see how Yoongi was doing. The blue hair aimed and was waiting to shoot. The girl got ready to shoot at us again now that we were driving away. That's when Yoongi took the shot. A loud boom caused our ears to ring. Yoongi smirked as the smoke disappeared to see he had gotten the girl right where he wanted. She yelped at the bullet struck her stomach making her lose focus on where she was going to shoot. Her arms went up as she fell back, shooting at the air instead.
Breathing heavily, I grinned at Yoongi who was switching over to the passenger's seat. Seokjin went back to driving with a smile. He commented about how bad@ss he was holding a gun. His friend didn't quite agree with him though. Taehyung and Hoseok were glad that this troublesome deal had come to an end. Turning back to the maknae, Jungkook stared up at the sky with a smile. That surprised me a lot. I thought he'd still be angry. This was his last deal and he was paralyzed for a majority of it. Jimin helped Jungkook move his legs and arms so he could get used to using them again.
"You're not mad?" I questioned, my forehead wrinkling.
"No. I mean I was, but I had a lot of time to think inside the concrete mixer." Jungkook chuckled. "They knew about me. They thought I was someone to watch out for. How cool is that, hyung!? They were worried about me! Not Yoongi!"
"That's one way to see it." I laughed at his reply. Jimin only smiled at his excitement over that. Jungkook's last deal and it looks like everyone in this town knows Jungkook as a muscle freak. "Thanks for protecting me during our deals."
"I try." Jungkook lifted up his finger to my cheek. He dragged his slender finger down the scar I received the night we met (F/n). "No problem."
"But seriously, how bad@ss was I!?" Seokjin yelled. We all turned our heads towards him while Jungkook listened in.
"How'd you even get a gun?" Yoongi scoffed.
"The girls had me surrounded, but I noticed how they didn't like pointing their guns at me." Seokjin smirked. "They were all young. I did spot the oldest one among them and winked at her."
"So you flirted?" Yoongi sighed.
"They went crazy though!" Seokjin laughed. "She dropped her gun because she was so stunned. Other girls began turning their guns towards her out of jealousy so they weren't as focused on me. They shot at her instead of me! That's when I took the chance to almost drive them over. They all dived out of the way and their guns were scattered. I got out of the car to steal one, made a few bluffs to scare them, and took all the bullets I could from their guns before coming here."
"Wow, that would only happen to you, Seokjin," Hoseok said. "Hey Taehyungie, tell us what happened when getting Jiminie."
"Oooh! That's a fun story!" Taehyung grinned. "Yoongi hyung helped me get to the top, but we were careful not to catch their attention. They all had their guns pointed at Jimin and wanted information on us. That's when I went out to save the day! Bullets flew past me and Yoongi almost got shot! Jimin was like, 'You're my hero!' and I was like 'pow!' and likeâ"
"Jimin, you tell the story." Yoongi sighed, not enjoying the silver hair's interpretation. Taehyung crossed his arms in disappointment. He was so excited to tell the story so I put my hand through the window to ruffle his hair to make him feel better. Hoseok patted his shoulder and soon he was smiling again.
Jimin took in a deep breath as he began his version of the story. His narration was a lot more trustworthy than Taehyung's. He told us from the straight beginning though. From the moment he jumped out of the truck. Jimin said he was running towards the tallest building as always. One that was already somewhat built and not just beams. If he went to a frame of a building then he would have been caught easily and there's also not much go on. When he made it to the top, he talked to us until he realized he had company. They didn't know he was talking to us but wanted information on our gang. They kept threatening him until Taehyung and Yoongi came to the rescue.
Apparently, Taehyung ran into open fire. I gave the boy a quick glare for not being safe. If he got hurt than I would blame myself and then (F/n) would have a heart attack. We don't need any more members getting shot. Yoongi managed to fight them off while Taehyung got the girl keeping Jimin down to back off. He kicked the girl and she almost fell off the building. Jimin was able to get on his feet and fight the girls off with Taehyung. Yoongi said he was gonna go down to figure out how to get Seokjin back. After he left, Taehyung and Jimin made sure all the girls were out cold. Maybe one was pretending to be though. By the time Jimin finished telling his story, the truck was arriving back at the warehouse. Home sweet home. We all sighed at our last deal. At least we got some money.
Before I could even push down the tailgate, Jimin jumped out of the truck. He was the first to run into the warehouse. I chuckled at how thrilled he was. That deal is certainly one to remember. Jungkook pushed himself up into a sitting position. He was doing a lot better and could move his legs now. He just wanted to sit for a while first. Yoongi, Hoseok, and Taehyung came out to check on Jungkook with me. I held up the sample money that I had taken. Time to split it up between the boys for the last time. Fair share for everyone. Jimin came running out of the warehouse, holding (F/n)'s hand. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"I brought her!" Jimin smiled.
"You fine, baby? Did Jimin wake you?" Seokjin laughed.
"I was just taking a nap." (F/n) smiled at him before looking at the rest of us. "How was the last deal?" She checked all of us as much as she could. We were the same as when we left. Jungkook was feeling better and could talk normally now. It's like everything that happened back there didn't happen.
"Uh, kind of uneventful." Jungkook shrugged, grinning at each member. We all chuckled softly as (F/n) furrowed her brows.
"Yeah, but it's definitely gonna keep my blood pumping for years." I nodded. Forgetting this deal sounded impossible.
"I'm confused. Was it boring or super exciting?" (F/n) questioned.
"Don't worry about it," Yoongi replied. (F/n) pouted at us to have her questions unanswered. Jimin ruffled her hair and Taehyung came over to hug her for looking so cute. And she did. I wish I could easily hug her without it being seen as weird. Hoseok rushed over to hug her too and I laughed. Looking back at Jungkook, I gave him another pat on the back as he smiled at me like a bunny.
"We had fun."
