Wooyoung NOT Here

Jeongguk:
Hey....

Jeongguk:
You okay?

Taehyung:
We were going to go in there when Gikwang came out after you woke up, but he said to give you some space

Taehyung:
But we're a little worried

Taehyung:
How are you feeling tiny?

Jimin:
Hey guys

Jimin:
Im good

Jimin:
Maybe shouldn't have went too hard on the smoking 😅

Jimin:
I don't remember much after I saw you guys

Jeongguk:
Yeah you passed out

Jimin:
I figured

Taehyung:
Can we come in?

Jimin:
I kinda just want to be alone rn

Jeongguk:
Do you remember.... Anything else from last night?

Jimin:
If you're referring to what happened with Taemin, yeah

Jimin:
I don't want you guys to worry too much about that

Taehyung:
Can you please tell me at least that it was consensual and that you weren't completely off?

Jimin:
I knew what I was doing

Jimin:
I gave consent

Jimin:
Before it happened I was regaining recognition to my surroundings and stuff, idk I have a high tolerance for these things

Jimin:
So..... Yeah, don't worry, I'm okay

Taehyung:
But were you triggered or anything?

Jimin:
Surprisingly..... I wasn't as much as I expected

Jimin:
Maybe in some way I trusted him.... You know.... That he wouldn't hurt me

Jimin:
Made me feel secure

Jimin:
Even if it didn't change anything , I don't regret what happened

Jeongguk:
So he didn't take advantage of you?

Jimin:
No

Jimin:
If anything, he was probably as high as I was

Taehyung:
He was?

Jimin:
But of.... Something else

Jimin:
I'm okay, really I am

Jimin:
I just hate how things are now with this

Jeongguk:
I understand

Jeongguk:
But to change the topic..... The mark on your neck um.... Your brother decided to draw that on you

Jimin:
I know, we spoke about it

Jimin:
I kinda want to keep this for a while

Jimin:
If I'm honest with you guys, I feel like from the three of us I'm the easiest target that boss would go for

Taehyung:
What? Don't say that

Jimin:
You go by Karma in the streets and Jeongguk isn't approachable even in pictures with a reputation as a little bad boy from college

Jimin:
I feel like anyone can easily do anything to me without a problem because they see me as someone weak

Jimin:
Maybe that's why I feel.... What I do rn

Jeongguk:
Jimin, you're strong as hell

Jeongguk:
Trust me, you can be someone's worse nightmare if they test you

Taehyung:
Hell yeah

Taehyung:
Tiny but definitely mighty

Jimin:
Ew don't ever say that🤢

Jimin:
Idk ever since that shit with Taemin went down, with the whole using thing, I've been feeling like a shitty person

Jimin:
I even began to accept that if anyone would ever try to do something to me, I would let them because of how horrible I feel and think I deserve to feel the pain

Jimin:
You know?

Jimin:
I just feel so guilty

Jimin:
It's killing me inside

Taehyung:
I know.... I know it is

Taehyung:
But you're not a horrible person Jimin

Taehyung:
Trust me you're not

Jimin:
I feel that way okay

Jimin:
It doesn't leave my damn head

Jimin:
That's why yesterday, while this happened, I was so happy because I thought he forgave me

Jimin:
And I couldn't stop crying once he left

Jimin:
Now I know how he felt.... And it fucking hurts

Jimin:
I feel like now I'm targeted from all sides, that I will get karma back for this

Taehyung:
The only karma here is me, and I am not going to get you back for that Jimin

Jeongguk:
We will protect you

Jeongguk:
Even though we are in the same boat rn, at least that mark will make sure you're safe

Jeongguk:
But can I ask.... What does the Phoenix mean?

Jimin:
It's um.... It's a long story

Jimin:
But it's a family symbol

Taehyung:
Family?

Jimin:
Yes family

Jimin:
Gikwang has it tattooed but I never got it

Taehyung:
So.... Don't tell me you're part of some empire gang shit too? 😩

Jimin:
No

Jimin:
Well.... Not exactly

Jimin:
We use live in a district where the neighborhood had this mark, or would get it

Jimin:
We were referred to as the Phoenix Children

Jimin:
And we had a mother, who wasn't exactly our mother but she took care of all the people there since we were poor

Jimin:
I left when I was like around fifteen maybe or seventeen, but anyone who had the Phoenix symbol was respected anywhere they went to

Jimin:
When I mean anywhere, I mean even the police wouldn't mess with them

Jimin:
Gikwang stayed back, grew up there, and I stayed here in Seoul

Jimin:
But I was still born and raised there, so I am a Phoenix child

Jimin:
There's too many layers to this

Taehyung:
That sounds familiar....

Taehyung:
Wait....

Taehyung:
Phoenix children...

Taehyung:
OH SHIT 😵

Taehyung:
PHOENIX CHILDREN?! YOU?!!

Taehyung:
What generation?

Jimin:
...... 1st

Taehyung:
JIMIN WHAT THE FUCK

Taehyung:
YOU'RE PRACTICALLY ROYALTY WHAT THE HELL

Jeongguk:
I'm so lost rn

Taehyung:
Phoenix is not an empire or organization, but like a community or referred to as a family

Taehyung:
It's a neighborhood, and only those who grew up there are referred to as the Phoenix children

Taehyung:
They're divided into generations, which is when this family started

Taehyung:
Jimin is first fucking generation, out of ten

Taehyung:
He was there when this was fucking born

Taehyung:
Omg I freaking out rn

Jeongguk:
I'm still lost

Jeongguk:
Why is this such a big deal?

Jimin:
Phoenix has connections to every empire and police agencies in the country

Jimin:
They know everything

Jimin:
Since our community was poor, we relied to skills on surviving; hacking, violence, dealing, list goes on

Jimin:
Mother has respect because she has kept us alive for years, by doing what needs to be done to gain money and survive for everyone to prosper

Jimin:
In return, the children keeps the community safe, keeping each other safe

Jimin:
Whatever means necessary

Jeongguk:
So by the respect of Mother has gained respect from everyone else?

Jimin:
Like I said there's more to this

Jimin:
But no one messes with a Pheonix child

Jimin:
It means going against mother and the family

Jimin:
They will go after you

Jimin:
And anyone who sees someone hurting a Phoenix child, even if it's a police or someone from an empire, they will inform us

Jimin:
The mark means more eyes on you

Jimin:
From everyone, making sure you're safe

Jimin:
So it's a big deal

Jeongguk:
Wow...

Taehyung:
I met a Phoenix child in jail

Taehyung:
His name was Suho

Taehyung:
He told me all about this, it's so fucking cool

Jimin:
Not really

Jimin:
Phoenix tends to have a bad rep too, assuming it was tracing back to some drug cartel or something idk

Jeongguk:
Well..... Is it?

Jimin:
No

Jimin:
The real reason why so many empires have respect for Phoenix is mainly due to the location

Jimin:
That's the hunting grounds for underground business

Jimin:
Especially foreign business since we're close to the shore

Jimin:
Mother let's it happen, since she's the one with the connections, being the reason why she is respected

Jimin:
And if someone steps out of line, well.... Let's not get into those details

Jeongguk:
I see

Jeongguk:
So you were basically there when this whole thing started?

Jimin:
Yup, through every process.... Everything

Jimin:
Basically a 'founder' or one of her first children

Jimin:
Then I moved here and well, the rest is history

Jeongguk:
Wow

Taehyung:
Wait back up

Taehyung:
You're the runaway fallen?😨

Jimin:
Hwg

Taehyung:
YOU ARE?!??

Taehyung:
I'm screaming omggg

Jeongguk:
Guys I'm not part of this life, explain it to me in baby words please😫😫

Taehyung:
There's this super fucking famous story in the streets about the runaway fallen in Phoenix about one of the founders running away because he pissed off a shit ton of empires all at once

Taehyung:
I don't know the details but the person did that as payback for some empires threatening mother because of this rival trade routes

Taehyung:
This runaway fallen hacked into every system and fucked with their business so bad that it was fucking chaos for weeks

Taehyung:
And the fallen disappeared, with no traces

Taehyung:
He's known as a hero because he defended mother and their family and demonstrated what would happen if they go against her once again

Taehyung:
Was that you?!

Jimin:
Hm

Jimin:
I was young and it was a stupid move

Jeongguk:
So let me get this shit organized

Jeongguk:
You are part of this family thing, that's a big fucking deal, and was one of the first ones there while it was first being discovered

Jeongguk:
You also are known as the 'Runaway Fallen' because you hijacked and hacked into security systems of various empires all at once after they threatened Phoenix, and then disappeared

Jeongguk:
Basically royalty, big skills, and got connections to back your ass up from anywhere if they see you with that mark you got on your neck

Jeongguk:
And you're telling me that 'anyone could do anything to you without a problem' and you're 'weak'?

Jeongguk:
Did you seriously forget you're roots?

Jimin:
.....

Taehyung:
You know what that's right! Tf! Tiny! The hell!

Taehyung:
Complaining about how weak and then having a fucking army behind him?!

Jimin:
I guess I just.... Forgot about those details....

Jeongguk:
You're more powerful than me and Taehyung combined

Jimin:
Yeah but I don't want to be known as just that

Jimin:
I want to be seen as me, Jimin

Jimin:
Not because of some title from back home

Taehyung:
And we get that

Taehyung:
But don't forget your roots too

Taehyung:
This whole issue with Boss could've been so easily resolved if he knew you're true identity

Jimin:
Idk....

Jimin:
It's not something I'm proud of

Jimin:
Can we please just change the topic, this is making me feel uncomfortable

Jeongguk:
Yeah that's fine

Jeongguk:
Just know that this doesn't change anything, we still see you as Jimin, okay?

Taehyung:
Hell yeah, maybe I did fan boy a little but you're still the tiny shit I would punch with my lips 😘

Jimin:
Thank you

Taehyung:
Wait off topic and don't get mad at me but if you're the Runaway Fallen, your brother is....

Taehyung:
Omg

Taehyung:
Is he Shadow Solstice?!😱

Jeongguk:
Again with the names🙄

Jimin:
Mhm

Taehyung:
I'm throwing up rn 🤮

Jeongguk:
Yup because I totally understand 🙂

Taehyung:
He's like the Guardian Angel of the Phoenix Children

Taehyung:
Anything that happens to them is informed to him

Taehyung:
He's like the grim reaper, and handles all the bad shit that happens to the children

Jeongguk:
Handles?

Jimin:
Yes handles

Jimin:
Okay no more please

Jeongguk:
What does that even mean Jimin?

Jimin:
I'm not doing this rn

Jimin:
We'll talk later

Taehyung:
Shit I should've stayed quiet😓

Jimin's Messages

Gikwang:
You told them?

Jimin:
I had to be honest when they asked about the mark

Gikwang:
Hm

Gikwang:
Jimin, this issue with Boss..... Are you sure you don't want me to take care of it?

Gikwang:
It could be solved so easily

Jimin:
I want to be able to handle my own problems for once Gikwang, without having to use my rep for it

Jimin:
Just trust me, I can handle this

Jimin:
Not only that but..... Since I pissed off a lot of empires, if they knew who I was.... I'd be dead

Gikwang:
I see

Gikwang:
Just reach out when you need the assistance, I mean it

Jimin:
Yeah, I will

Jimin:
You're leaving tomorrow right?

Gikwang:
Duty calls unfortunately

Jimin:
I see

Gikwang:
But I'm not leaving until I know you can be able to handle this issue

Jimin:
I know

Jimin:
I'll figure something out

Siblings

Lalisa:
Okay everyone

Lalisa:
Last night won't fucking happen again😩

Lalisa:
Woke up with a damn headache that not even an Angel can cure it😖

Yeosang:
How did I end up on the floor?

Minki:
Don't ask

Taehyung:
I made breakfast whenever you're ready

Lalisa:
Give me a second🤢

Valencia:
My head hurts too much 😔

Valencia:
Can't get up

Gikwang:
Can I come in? I'll carry you

Valencia:
Yes please😭

Jimin:
I'll be out soon

Jeongguk:
Guys.....

Jeongguk:
So I stepped out of the penthouse for a second to get something and this note was at the door

Jeongguk:
[sends picture]

Jeongguk:
Umm

Yeosang:
My vision is too blurred to see the screen

Minki:
It literally just says 'I'm watching and time is ticking'

Minki:
Not your everyday love letter☺️

Jimin:
Boss was here?

Jeongguk:
Or Wooyoung

Jeongguk:
Okay I think they've caught on that we aren't doing anything for the heirs anymore and that they know we know that they are going to do shit to us

Yeosang:
Don't tell me Boss is going to try to use me again🥲

Jimin:
That won't happen

Jimin:
After everyone eats, leave

Jimin:
This isn't safe

Jimin:
We can reach back out once it is

Gikwang:
Are you joking?

Lalisa:
Listen dude

Lalisa:
Not you pulling a Prince Charming rn, but trust me they aren't going to do anything with us here

Lalisa:
Maybe yes if you guys were alone

Lalisa:
Besides, you have people looking after you guys right?

Lalisa:
So chill out

Jeongguk:
No Jimin is right, they could hurt either of you

Valencia:
So..... Why not go to the police? You know, they exist? Report this?

Taehyung:
They won't believe a delinquent like me

Jimin:
Or someone who came from my district

Jeongguk:
After various of studies on law, trust me when I tell you that once one has connections the police can be easily manipulated

Jeongguk:
If Boss has connections, he will end up having us arrested if he wanted

Jeongguk:
And if we rat out the heirs, even worse

Jeongguk:
Police is a no go

Jeongguk:
We'll be the ones looking like a fucking lunatic

Valencia:
So.... What is there to do?

Jeongguk:
We have to meet the heirs and think of a next step

Jeongguk:
After all, they're after us to get to them

Jeongguk:
So we have to form a plan

Dysfunctional Besties

We need a meeting

Jimin:
Soon

Jimin:
[Sends Picture]

Jimin:
We don't have time

Woosung:
San has been onto Wooyoung

Woosung:
He managed to drill out of him that my theory was indeed correct

Woosung:
We have to get to Boss somehow

Taehyung:
What do you think he would do if we talk to him?

Minho:
Kill you on the spot

Jimin:
And if you guys kill him?

Taemin:
We'd have problems with our empire

Taemin:
Since his club is where a lot of the money comes in

Taemin:
They're planning on making it a casino soon with him in charge

Jeongguk:
Damn

Jeongguk:
So we can't talk to him, kill hurt him, what can we do?

Woosung:
Look we're on our way to a meeting rn but we'll go over it once it's done

Woosung:
Okay?

Taehyung:

Minho:

Minho:
No reason

Minho:
We're going to die

Minho:
Not us but maybe Taemin specifically

Taemin:
Me?

Minho:
Jimin's brother is there

Minho:
You saw his warning from yesterday

Minho:
I don't mess around with Phoenix dude 😭😭

Taemin:
He's not going to do anything

Woosung:
Whether he's Phoenix or not, don't let that intimidate you

Woosung:
He's in our territory

Taemin:
Not just that but I know him

Taemin:
He won't do anything to me😕

Minho:
Did you know he was Phoenix?

Taemin:
No....

Taemin:
I didn't

Woosung:
Is Jimin one too?

Taemin:
I don't know! I don't think so, he's never spoken to me about this

Minho:
Didn't you guys grow up together?

Taemin:
Yeah but just like he didn't know I was a heir I don't know if he's a Phoenix child

Woosung:
Well that doesn't matter

Woosung:
What matters now is the task we have to do

Woosung:
So just stay focused on that
