"The heck?" Yoongi scoffed lightly, looking at Jimin in disbelief as the younger shared all the things that happened between him and Jungkook, including him having a crush on Taehyung.

Jimin shifted uncomfortably as he pouted while Jin looked surprised but also understanding. "Well, well," he said. "Now I understand why Jungkook reacted like that."

"Seriously, Jimin," Yoongi continued, shaking his head, trying to understand how his usually level-headed brother could develop feelings for someone as bratty as Tae.

"You like that brat?" he repeated, raising an eyebrow. "What do you even see in him?"

Jimin pouted again, crossing his arms. "He's not just a brat," he defended. "He's... he's kind of handsome, in his own way."

Jin chuckled. "Yoongi, you have to admit, my brother may act like a kid sometimes, but he's still handsome and incredibly talented, just like me, you know?"

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "I'll believe it when I see it."

Jin then turned to Jimin. "So, when did all of this start? I mean, your lovestory?"

Jimin began. "Um, well, it's kind of hard to pinpoint exactly when it started. But he's always so confident and outgoing, and he's got this charisma that's hard to resist."

Yoongi raised an eyebrow again. "And when did you realize you actually liked him?"

Jimin blushed, feeling a bit shy to admit it. "He studied in abroad for a few years, right?" he asked to Jin.

Yoongi then asked, "He did?"

Jin nodded. "Yes, he did. About three years, if I remember correctly," he replied. "How did you know that?"

Jimin sighed softly. "Well, I was actually a senior to him when he studied abroad. We were studying in the same college."

Yoongi and Jin's eyes widened in surprise as Jimin continued his story, saying how he met Tae in college and developed a one-sided love for him. He explained how Tae never even knew him back then.

"He was always so focused on his studies," Jimin continued. "I wanted to get close to him, but he was always so preoccupied with his goals."

He paused, "Then he suddenly left college and rumour had it saying that he came to South Korea to attend the government exam and after that, I stayed behind to finish my studies."

He then explained, "After he left, I wanted to forget about those feelings and this all happened when we were around 20. When I finally returned here during this month, I never expected Tae to be the one to interview me for the company. At first, I hesitated to accept the interview, fearing that my deeply buried feelings might stir up again. However, I ultimately joined the company, hoping to at least be honest about my feelings."

"But then I came to know that the rumour about him attending the exam was true and he already has a sub. And despite my efforts to act normal around him, I failed, and eventually, Jungkook, his sub, caught on to my feelings."

"It's been quite a rollercoaster," Jimin concluded with a sigh. "I never imagined things would turn out like this."

Jin glanced at Yoongi, who let out a sigh. He then said, "Love can be complicated," he began, his voice soft. "Sometimes, our feelings lead us into unexpected situations. But it's important to consider everyone's feelings involved and what happened till now is truly not your fault."

Jimin nodded but then Yoongi asked, "Do you still love him though?"

There was a heavy silence as the question hung in air. Jimin sighed and before he could answer, the door to Taehyung and Jungkook's room swung open, revealing the two of them coming.

Suprisingly, Tae had his usual bubbly face while Jungkook followed behind him.

Tae then turned towards Jimin. "My Jungkook has something to tell you," he said.

Jimin's mouth opened and closed in uncertainty, unsure of what Jungkook might have to say since he himself was partly at fault.

The maknae then muttered a quiet "sorry," his eyes avoiding his gaze. Jimin shook his head, smiling gently. "That's alright," he replied. He felt a pang of guilt, knowing he should be the one apologizing.

Before he could apologize back, Tae swiftly turned the conversation, "Who's ready for breakfast?"

But then Jin turned to him. "Is that all?" he asked, then looking at Jungkook.

"What?" Tae hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes, that's all," he confirmed, glancing at his sub, looking confused by Jin.

Everyone exchanged puzzled looks and then, Jin pointed towards Yoongi. "Jungkook, is there something you forgot to tell Yoongi?"

The maknae immediately understood what he meant. "Sorry, Yoongi hyung, for pushing you earlier," he apologized.

Yoongi waved off the apology, glaring at Jin as he said, "It was just a light pus-"

But the elder cut him off with a huff. "But you already have an injury on your forehead, he could have made it worse."

Jungkook pouted at Jin's scolding while Yoongi rose from his seat with a sigh, glaring at his dom again before shaking his head and making his way to the dining area.

Observing the scene, Jin then looked at the others, raising an eyebrow in innocence. "What?" he asked. "I was just looking out for my precious sub."

Tae and Jimin burst out laughing while Jimin said, "Yeah, no one could take care of Yoongi hyung better than you, hyung. Thank you."

"Hmp!" Jungkook did as he went behind Yoongi, yanking his arm in his and swinging it playfully like a newly wed.

Yoongi groaned a little but went along with it as they both sat down at the dining table to eat breakfast.

Jin smiled and gestured for the other two to come and dig in the food. Taehyung and Jimin followed him and soon they were all enjoying their breakfast together, without any more tension.

And as they continued to eat, Jin turned to Taehyung and Yoongi, his expression serious. "We need to attend the college tomorrow, don't forget it, you two."

Taehyung tilted his head. "But who knows what the principal is going to do?" he said. "You know? After what happened there.."

A heavy silence enveloped then. Jin sighed. "I didn't want to share about it, because I wanted to make you both still regret your actions, but..." He trailed off as he took out his phone and showed them a group message from the principal.

He recently got added to the college group chat used by the principal and other professors and in that, the pricipal messaged that the students involved in the fight would only receive a lecture on Monday and wouldn't any expulsions, as long as the incident didn't spread to other colleges or the media.

Relief washed over Taehyung and Yoongi as they read the message. Jin then said, "Looks like we're in the clear."

"For now, we're safe to proceed the case, but let's avoid any more of that incident." He said, pointing at Yoongi and Taehyung.

Taehyung nodded, "As long as Yoongi hyung remains calm, I'll do the same."

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "I know, I know. No need to corner me," he said, slightly annoyed by the reminder.

Jimin then said, "Seriously, hyung, you've got to work on that temper of yours."

Jin joined in, "I thought I was the only one thinking that. Jimin's right, Yoongi."

Yoongi sighed. "Fine, fine, I'll try to keep it under control."

Jungkook then asked Jin. "So, hyung, when are you guys going to make the next move in the case?"

Jin thought for a moment, tapping his chin. "We might have to wait until the real action begins," he said. "That is, waiting for the professors to stage the kidnapping."

He then turned to Yoongi with a serious tone. "Yoongi, you might have to be more careful from tomorrow," he said. "Since your photo was the fifth one in the order of details in the pendrive, the professors might follow that sequence."

Jimin's eyes widened in worry. "Hyung, be careful," he said.

Tae and Jungkook exchanged a glance before nodding. "Yeah, hyung, we don't know what might happen anytime."

Jungkook joined in. "Make sure you have more weapons with you from tomorrow."

Yoongi sighed, rubbing his temples as they all looked at with worried expressions. He glanced at them with a serious tone.

"Just what do you all think of me?" he asked, annoyance filling his face. "You forgot who I really am? Then let me remind you,

...I'm Min Yoongi, the fucking mafia boss who's more than capable of handling this case on my own."

They all smiled at him. Jin nodded slowly while the maknaes laughed at his confidence.

Ofcourse, there's not a single person who will doubt the Mafia Min Yoongi's words.

Note : Jimin already knows about the challenge and case.
