The first thing Jeongguk does when he gets his sister out of the cell, is flick her straight across the head with one almighty blow that makes her stumble and lose her balance a bit.

“Ow!” She cried, head throbbing.

“You fucking prick!” Jeongguk shouted at her, “Why the fuck are you in a police cell, you useless arsehole?”

“Calm down; it wasn’t that serious.” Yuna responded. Her brother's words were not really hurtful because she knew he was just worried about her; Jeongguk always yelled when he was worried. They always shouted and swore at each other, and then continued on normally with no hard feelings as if they hadn’t been damming each other to hell 30 seconds ago - it was a sibling thing. As an only child, Taehyung stood and watched in mild horror, shocked at Jeongguk’s rage and Yuna’s apathy.

“I had to leave work just for your stupid shit and we’re wasting Taehyung’s time when he’s supposed to be practicing!” Jeongguk roared. “Apologise to Tae for wasting his time.”

“Sorry dude.” Yuna sighed as she bowed and Taehyung awkwardly bowed back.

“I-It’s okay.” He responded with a small smile.

“Why are you even in here anyway?” Jeongguk asked his sister angrily.

“I got into a fight coz some bitch tried to test me and-”

“Why did you even leave the house? Especially without telling anyone.”

“I wanted skittles and we didn’t have any, even though yesterday you said you’d get me some on the way back from work and you didn’t.”

“How does that lead to getting into a fight?” Jeongguk asked.

“Oh god. Some weird girl was creeping up on me and I kept trying to tell her to go away but she wasn’t listening and she followed me for like ten minutes and then I smacked her on the head in H&M and security came and took me away and even before I even had a chance to beat her arse.” Yuna complained. “I didn’t even do anything, besides be sexy and yet they put me in jail and now I have a criminal record!”

“You don’t have a criminal record.” Jeongguk sighed, relieved to know that Yuna was alright, “All they did was detain you. Nobody really cares about that. I'm just glad that you didn’t do something illegal. I wouldn’t even bother to bail you out.”

“Dick.” Yuna muttered. “I’d bail you out if you did something illegal.”

“No you wouldn’t.”

“Yeah, no I wouldn’t.” Yuna laughed in agreement. “Now that my name has been cleared, does this mean we can still get chicken?”

Jeongguk nodded.

“Fine.” He agreed. “But only after I finish work.”

Yuna turned towards Taehyung and bowed again.

“Sorry again, mister.” She apologised.

“No, don’t worry about it. It's okay.” Taehyung reassured.

“Are you his boss?” She asks.

“Um...kind of?” Tae shrugs.

“Thought so. There was no way someone as god-tier handsome as you, would be hanging out with an absolute penis like him.” She says casually.

Taehyung goes bright red and Jeongguk rolls his eyes.

“Yuna, you’re 15. Stop flirting with everyone you meet.” Jeongguk mutters in irritation.

“Sorry.” She says insincerely. “I can’t help it; he’s hot! What do you want me to do? I gotta get married one day.”

“You can’t even legally drink anything stronger than Ribena and yet you’re already looking for a husband.” Taehyung snorts. “Come back when you have at least 1 GCSE to your name.”

“I won’t need any GCSEs if we were to get married. You and your tennis could support us both.”

“See!” Taehyung says as he turns his attention to Jeongguk who is standing there completely unamused. “Even your sister knows who I am!”

“So?” Jeongguk says.

“That means it is just you who hasn’t heard of me.” Tae says smugly.

“Obviously. He practically lives under a rock.” Yuna agrees.

“He doesn’t care about anything that’s not omorashi.” Taehyung cackles.

“Hey!” Jeongguk yells in a mixture of embarrassment and offence. “Th-That’s not tr-”

“Namjoon told me.”

“That stupid son of a bitch!”

“What’s omorashi?” Yuna asks.

“It’s-”

“ANYWAY YUNA WE HAVE TO GO!” Jeongguk says loudly, effectively silencing Taehyung who is shaking with laughter. “I’ll buy you chicken when I get home.”

“And skittles?” She bargains.

“Sure, whatever.” Jeongguk agrees, desperate to leave the situation, but he stops when he notices the uncomfortable look on her face.

“What’s wrong?” He asks genuinely.

“I was just a bit scared. You know...with the scary lady and being in the cell. I-I didn’t like it.” She mumbles as she stares at the ground. “Th-Thanks for coming to get me.”

“It’s okay.” Jeongguk comforts as he pats her on the head. “I’m just glad you’re okay.”

“What time will you get home?” She asks.

“Dunno.” Jeongguk shrugs, “7pm? Maybe?”

“Oh. Okay then.” She says quietly, bidding them goodbye. “I’ll see you later then.”

Taehyung and Jeongguk leave to go back to the car, but Taehyung stops before they open the doors.

“What? Don't tell me you wanna walk, otherwise I'm gonna beat your fucking arse.” Jeongguk said.

“No, it’s not that.” Tae responds

“Then what?”

“I’m just thinking about your sister.”

“She’s underage-”

“Not like that, you fucking donkey. I just feel bad for her, that’s all. She seemed quite shaken up.”

Jeongguk hums in agreement.

“Being in a cell must be scary for her. Must be for most people too.”

“Not me though. I've been in one several times before.” Tae says.

“You have?!” Jeongguk asks in shock, “You? The same guy who stops at the light when it’s amber? No fucking way.”

“Yes way. I've been arrested several times.”

“For what?”

“For killin dat pussy.” Taehyung says stupidly as he bursts out laughing, and Jeongguk also laughs really loudly, surprised at the stupid punchline and low quality joke.

“Who’s not funny now?” Taehyung giggles smugly.

“Fine. You got me there.” Jeongguk laughs.

“But in all seriousness, I think you should go to her.” He suggests.

“Huh?”

“Take the rest of the day off and go keep her safe. She must’ve been so scared. She'd probably want someone to keep her company.”

“Taehyung it’s okay-”

“No, don’t worry about it. I'll go bother Jimin and Yoongi for the last few hours.” He smiles.

“Are you sure?” Jeongguk asks and Taehyung nods.

“It’s not that big of a deal. Family first and all that crap." He grins.

“Alright, great.” Jeongguk smiles in return. “You know, you’re actually kinda cool when you’re not being an arse.”

“Don’t fucking ruin it.” Taehyung shakes his head. “Just go before I change my mind.”

Jeongguk smiles and mock salutes, before grabbing his bag and running off in the same direction his sister went. Taehyung smiled as he got into his car, surprised at how caring of an older brother Jeongguk was. There were many sides of him that he was slowly getting to know, now that they were becoming somewhat friends.

It was nice.

“Where on earth have you been?” Jimin interrogates when Taehyung gets back to the club. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere! Your dad told me to tell you he’s cancelled your examination today and that he will reschedule. Where actually have you been though?”

“Oh. I was out with Jeongguk.” Tae explained.

“Lord Almighty, it’s happening already.” Jimin sighed exasperatedly.

“What?” Taehyung asked in confusion, “What’s happening?”

“You and Jeongguk. Now that you guys are friends, you’re gonna catch feelings for him coz he’s super tall and super handsome and you’re super gay.” Jimin sighs and explains like it’s obvious.

“I will not!” Taehyung retorts defensively.

“Will too!” Jimin responds.

“Will not!”

“If that’s so true, then where is Jeongguk right now?”

“I dropped him off somewhere and then let him go home.”

“Exactly. That’s strike 1. Letting him go home whenever he wants.”

“It’s day 1 of our friendship and you’re already shipping us.”

“I’m telling you, I’m correct!”

“Sorry great oracle. I didn’t know you were such a relationship expert that you could even lecture me about ones that don’t exist.” Taehyung rolled his eyes.

“You’re just being defensive. You’re gonna catch feelings for him and I know it. I can literally see into the future clearer than a psychic.”

“Fuck off Saiki K.” Taehyung rolls his eyes and flips off his friend. “I’m gonna go home too in a minute.”

“Nooooo please stay. I’ll shut up, I swear.” Jimin says desperately. “Yoongi went to play golf but he has the car keys so I can’t leave.” He pouts.

Taehyungs sighs but he can’t stay mad at his friend.

“Fine.” He agrees and Jimin grins happily at him. “But no more talking about me and Jeongguk. It's annoying.”

“But you two have so much potential!!” Jimin protests.

“Son of a bitch.” Taehyung groans as he walks off, immediately regretting his decision to stay.
