"Join?" Jungkook raised an eyebrow as he sharpened his knife.

Taehyung nodded.

“Me?” He looked from his brother-in-law to his newly shaped knife.

Taehyung nodded again.

“Not Dad? He’s a veteran. The last time I had a new recruit she died on her first mission. I don’t think I’m the one to join, especially during this time.” Jungkook stood up and tucked his knife in the holder inside of his jacket, which was hanging up on a rack. “What’s with new recruits wanting to appear during big projects like this anyway?” Jungkook mumbled.

“Liz can’t possibly be okay with this?” Leo mentioned as he tossed another knife in Jungkook’s direction for him to sharpen.

The other alpha caught the knife with ease and got to sharpening it.

“Uh, well.”

Jungkook and Leo laughed loudly in unison.

“You’re married to a Park omega. You really think he’ll let you join without an extremely long fight?” Jungkook chuckled.

“Hey, he’s lucky though. He’s got the sweeter one. We got the two stubborn ones. Now, if Liz confided in his father and brother, you’re fresh out of luck.”

Taehyung groaned.

“Why do you want to join anyway? You don’t have obligations like me and you’re not a psychopath like Dad.”

“Watch it. You live in my house now,” Leo scowled.

“Riiight.” Jungkook nodded.

"Anyway," Jungkook put the knife away and stood up, "this isn't some club or something. This is an illegal business. We're technically criminals."

"Felons who have never been arrested," Leo sighed with his arms crossed.

"Once you're in—" Leo held Taehyung's shoulder.

"—you can never get out," Jungkook clicked his tongue.

"I know all of that already. I've thought about all of this. I'm not saying put me in the game now. I'm saying… just… think about it?"

Jungkook and Leo looked at each other before groaning knowing exactly what their husbands will say if they find out.

~

Jungkook, Taehyung, and Leo stepped into the house and immediately stopped to see the three omegas standing in front of the door.

Jungkook made eye contact with his husband. Jimin raised an eyebrow with his hip jutted out and his arms crossed. He pulled his hand out and curled his finger, ushering Jungkook to come over to him.

Jungkook's eyes bucked and his hands flew to his chest as he began defending himself.

"I didn't do anything!"

"I know," Jimin grinned as he continued to beckon Jungkook over.

"Honey, honest to God I didn't do anything!" Jungkook continued to defend as he walked over to him.

"Baby, I know," Jimin laughed as he took Jungkook's hand.

"I didn't even say anything! Please, you gotta believe me!"

Jimin just laughed as he pulled Jungkook upstairs by his hand and to their bedroom.

The two alphas watched him get swept away and then they focused back on their own partners.

Halo tilted his head as he looked at his husband and smiled.

"Come on."

Halo turned around and made his way upstairs knowing Leo wasn't far behind.

"Now we're going to be punished because of you," Leo whispered before jogging after his husband.

Now Taehyung and Liz stood face to face, surrounded by silence, all alone. Tahhyung slid his hands into his pockets and sighed.

"Baby—"

"What'd they say?"

"Huh?"

"You asked about joining. What did they say?"

"They didn't say no but they didn't say yes. They basically said what you've been saying. That this is serious."

Liz hummed in understanding. He looked up at his husband and nodded.

"It's alright."

"Huh?" Taehyung's eyebrows jumped.

"Whatever happens. Whether you join or don't. It'll be alright."

Taehyung walked over and held Liz's face and pecked his lips. He picked him up bridal style which caused Liz to release a high pitched squeal. Taehyung laughed as he made his way upstairs.

Meanwhile in the Jeons' room Jimin was watching as his husband undressed.

"Tae asked to join you didn't he?"

"I didn't say yes," Jungkook mumbled as he shrugged his shirt off.

"You didn't say no?"

"No…" Jungkook turned slightly to catch his husband's reaction.

Nothing.

Jimin hummed.

"You know Liz doesn't want that, you know?"

Jungkook nodded as he stepped out of his pants afterward.

"Will you let him join?"

Jungkook tossed his clothes as he stood before his husband in just his boxers.

"Do you want me to not let him join?"

Jimin shook his head with a grin.

"I'm not the boss, big man. You are."

Jungkook's eyes bucked. He placed his hands on his hips and tilted his head to the right.

Jimin was letting him choose? He was asking his opinion? It's not like he never did that, it's just as of recent times, Jimin didn't leave much room for disagreement.

"Uh, well, uhm. I don't know."

Jimin raised an eyebrow.

"You don't know?"

"No. Normally I would. I used to. I know practically everything there is to know about mafia work. But as of the past decade, I'm not so sure anymore."

"Decade? Honey," Jimin frowned.

Jungkook sighed and stretched his arms over his head. Jimin grabbed Jungkook's naked bicep and pulled him to sit beside him on the bed.

"What's wrong?"

"Since we lost Samiah and I almost lost our son about three fucking times, I haven't been as confident in what I do anymore. I mean I'm confident but just…"

"Doubtful?"

"I guess."

Jimin hugged Jungkook's arm and left a soft kiss on his cheek.

"You're the leader of the 2nd most feared mafia and married to the son of the leader of the most feared mafia. You're his son-in-law. Honey, I think you're more than qualified."

"Thank you, Love."

They looked at each other and smiled. For the first time in a while, they were able to just enjoy each other's presence.

"So? What'd I do?"

Halo laughed as he rubbed hand lotion between his palms and fingers.

"Seriously. You brought me in here, made me strip, made me take a shower with you, and now we're doing skin care. In all this time not once have you said anything."

Halo looked at Leo through the mirror and smiled.

"You should put your shirt on before I lock you in our room."

"I'm serious!"

"What is there to talk about?"

Leo groaned and dragged his hands down his face. Halo giggled as he walked up to his husband and rubbed some eye cream under Leo's eyes.

"You've really got nothing to say to me?"

"You leave tomorrow."

"I do," Leo nodded hesitantly.

"I just want to spend time with you before I can't even get a hold of you."

"So you haven't got anything to say about Taehyung wanting to join the mafia?"

"How would stressing about that benefit me?" Halo frowned as he dropped his hands over Leo's shoulders.

"That's… true."

That's what I've been telling you. Leo thought as he held his husband's waist.

Halo truly didn't have anything to say on the matter. Jimin said he'd talk to Jungkook and Liz agreed to reconcile with his husband.

Halo just wanted to drown his husband with hugs and kisses and be drowned in hugs and kisses from his husband.

There wasn't much else that he cared for at that moment.

A/N: it's fucking 12 in the morning
