Pied Piper - BTS

_________

To say that the car ride back to Seoul was tense would be an understatement. There was an unavoidable silence between all three males in the car that just felt like any noise would cause an explosive reaction from either one.

Especially from the younger in the backseat.

Yeosang hasn't said a word since he got into the car, only hugs his backpack full of the minimal amount of clothes his has to his chest and listens to music on his earphones while looking out the window with a permanent frown on his lips. Meanwhile Jungkook sits in the passenger side, looking over him every once in a while but doesn't attempt to make conversation since it will just result with it being backfired somehow.

Yeosang has a sadistic tongue, and he won't be afraid to snap at him if he presses his buttons, especially now.

The calmest one here must be Taehyung, mostly since he's driving. No sense of agitation is flickering his eyes as it is in Jungkook's, but he would glance back at the boy from the review mirror from time to time just to make sure he's not tearing something apart just to spite him.

It's not like he doesn't care about whatever boiling grudge the two brothers have with each other, but Taehyung prefers not getting involved.

This is a family issue, and he can't do nothing much about it besides staying out of it as they fix their own problems.

Thankfully soon enough they arrived back Seoul, it was almost as though Yeosang looked around as if he was in a zoo. He looked cautious but with wonder in his eyes to the tall buildings and clearly different scenery of people and locations. For a moment Taehyung almost felt pity for the kid as he remains with gapped lips as he looks out the window.

This is like a paradise world that he's never been introduced to, meanwhile Taehyung is already tired of it.

Jungkook better not fuck this up for both of them and at least show the kid around here if he's going to be sticking around.

Taehyung took the long way back to the dorms just so the kid can see more of the city, not really caring if he has to pay more for gas. Jungkook seems to have noticed this because he sends a small smile to him in appreciation.

If only he'd knew how Taehyung would do absolutely anything to see this bunny happy after the whole stress that happened yesterday.

Even if it means touring his angered brother around to ease some tension.

When they arrived back to the dorms, it was clear that Yeosang tried not to look at the building with the same awe as the city. Instead he scowls at it with hands shoved to the pocket of his worn out hoodie, noticing that Taehyung didn't get off the car and he drove off instead, leaving both Jungkook and him alone.

"Isn't your new little fuck buddy coming with us too?" Yeosang mutters, only earning a stern look from his older brother.

"He has to go home and wash up. He doesn't live in a dorm," Was all Jungkook said as he leads the younger into the building.

Over millions of things crossed through Jungkook's head at once as he takes him to his floor, things that Yeosang should most definitely know before coming in here.

So Jungkook turns around right when they approach the door, making the kid look at him with bored eyes.

"Look, I share this place with a roommate. He doesn't exactly know you're here with me so be nice, he's going through a lot as it is," Jungkook says, all the while shoving the key to the hole, "I have a few things to let you know of before we settle you in."

Yeosang didn't say anything, only rolls his eyes and that was enough for Jungkook to know that he was at least listening. When they stepped inside, Yeosang mimic Jungkook's actions in taking their shoes off and then follows Jungkook into inside. His eyes practically rolled out of its sockets as he sees how..... Big this place is.

Almost like an apartment itself with a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

And he suddenly smiles, "Wow, good to know you're living in a beautiful place while our sister is practically scrapping for money as we speak in a shitty apartment, nice."

This is definitely going to be harder than Jungkook thought.

Jungkook didn't fight back his heavy sigh in distraught, turning around to face the sarcastic smile on Yeosang's face, "This comes while being at this school. Maybe we could have a place like this in the future if you stopped being an arrogant asshole."

That clearly made Yeosang grind his teeth together in aggravation, holding his tongue back from spilling anything that isn't meant to be said. So instead, he only moves to sit on the couch, arms crossed, "Now that I'm here and I'm pretty sure your roommate isn't since I don't hear anything or saw an extra pair of shoes by the door, what are the little things you need to let me know of?"

Observant and attentive, qualities that seemed to have sharpen since the last time they've been together. Yeosang was always the type to breathe in his surroundings, keeping tabs on everything in a matter of seconds. He has a vivid memory and too much of a quick eye to details, which is why it didn't surprise Jungkook how Yeosang instantly knew that they were alone.

No doubt the kid already has mapped out this entire dorm by now just by a simple eye glance.

That's what growing up too fast will do to you, unfortunately make you too paranoid over your surroundings to be at peace. 

Jungkook stands in front of him with arms crossed, staring down at him with that familiar intimidating look he use to hold onto back then when he was almost the king of the streets.

It still nerved Yeosang, especially since it's direct towards him.

He knew what was coming instantly.

"No one knows about my tattoos here, including Taehyung," He says coolly, "I dress in brighter colors and try not to catch too much attention so no one can be suspicious about me. That will remain as a secret."

Yeosang tried to hold in his snort to this, so he only bites down his bottom lip to suppress his amused grin.

That is ridiculously smart, but seeing Jungkook in bright colors is a thought too amusing for Yeosang to think about.

"No one here knows anything about Busan, so don't say anything-"

"As expected," Yeosang huffs, growing annoyed now that he's talking to him as if he's a kid, "You're boring me here."

Jungkook purses his lips, "You're sleeping on my bed and I sleep on the couch."

To this Yeosang barks out a loud laugh, "Sleep in the bed you probably fucked over with your little friend? Nah, I'm good on the couch, even if it's infested with your fluids, probably not as bad as the bed."

By now Jungkook's patience is running thin and he had to literally breathe to hold it in a tad bit longer, "Don't go anywhere without telling me where you're going. I mean it. I still don't trust this place and I don't want you to end up in a bad spot. So unblock my number and keep me informed."

Yeosang grimaces heavily to this, shoving out his phone from his pocket with a stubborn scowl on his face as he goes to his contacts and unblocks Jungkook's number.

"Happy?"

"No," Jungkook snaps before rolling his own eyes, "Don't bother Jimin, my roommate. He has a boyfriend, Joshua, and he's most of the time always with him so-"

As on cue, the front door clicks open and in steps the roommate himself.

With his boyfriend behind him.

Oh how lucky!

Jungkook had to hold himself from passing out on the spot, hoping Yeosang won't say something completely rude to either of them because of his tendencies on doing just that upon meeting new people. Meanwhile Yeosang only focuses his eyes on studying the small male who is the first to appear, wearing a bright smile as his boyfriend speaks to him before turning around to look at the scene.

The second Jimin and Yeosang made eye contact, Yeosang could instantly see the panic flood behind his eyes, along with this odd rush of uncertainty. Sure, Yeosang can be very reckless in general but he was always good at reading people. Judging by how confidently he stepped into the room, this is the roommate.

And this so called Joshua was wearing the most forced smiled he has ever seen, waving a hand to Jungkook, "Hey, how are you?"

Jungkook smiles back at him, desperately hiding his panic, "Good, you?"

Yeosang instantly sent a row of daggering glares at his brother, but the other didn't bother to pay attention to it.

And Jimin was losing the color of his face by now.

"Good, just came from eating breakfast," Joshua beams as he wraps his arms around Jimin's waist comfortably. It was almost instantly that Jimin relaxed to this as if the air was rushed back to his lungs in relief, only making Yeosang perk an eyebrow to this.

What an odd relationship.....

"That's good!" Jungkook chuckles and suddenly realized he had his whole brother is in the room and clears his throat, "Oh, this is-"

"Gem for you," Yeosang cuts in, standing to his feet with arms crossed, nodding to Jungkook, "I'm his brother."

By this small introduction, Yeosang could tell many things already; Jimin was evidently studying the bruises on his face and the deep scowl on his lips, seeing no way how the sweet and cute Jungkook has a brother that looks like he's ready to murder someone. He was not judging him, more so keeping a cautious look in a very discrete way.

Why doesn't he want to be caught looking at him?

Meanwhile Yeosang only glances between the pair, seeing something oddly unsettling by how.... Perfect they appear to be.

Then it was almost as if Jimin processed what he said and blinks, "Oh hi, I'm Jimin, his roommate," He suddenly says with a small friendly smile, "And he's Joshua, my boyfriend-"

"I already know and I don't care," He cuts in rudely and goes back to sitting on the couch, eyes looking away from them.

There's something odd there that he doesn't like.

Staying away from them will definitely not be a problem for him.

The room is awkwardly quiet now, especially with Jungkook murderously glaring at Yeosang, who didn't bother looking at his direction. Then Jungkook gives in and looks at Jimin with a defeated sigh.

"Don't take it personally, we don't get along so well," He tries to explain to him, "Is it okay if he stays here for a while? Things aren't so good back home."

There was a clear wave of hesitation that stormed Jimin's eyes, especially when he shyly glances at Joshua. Now that slightly caught Jungkook off guard, as though he was asking for permission.

Joshua only breaks a sweet smile, "Why are you looking at me? This is your dorm," He snickers while pressing a peck to his head.

Yeosang turns his head to the pair upon hearing this, not helping himself from narrowing his eyes slightly at the beautiful man that looks like a living embodiment of an angel, not helping himself but finding him slightly suspicious.

He doesn't like people who somehow seems like they're too perfect.

There's always something hidden underneath their sleeves.

Jungkook's whole disguise is a perfect example to that.

Jimin switches a nervous smile to this and looks at Jungkook, nodding, "Sure, it's no problem with me," Was all he said before grabbing Joshua's hand and leading them to his room, "It was nice meeting you Yeosang."

A twitching grimace fixed his lips as Jimin closed the door behind the two, looking up to Jungkook, "I don't like Joshua."

He really didn't.

As for Jimin he can't really say much since he was almost like a computer, his words were too well scripted or forced, and his actions don't really add up to it either.

"Well he's Jimin's boyfriend, so it's not like they would care if you don't," Jungkook huffs and takes out his pen, "Oh and no smoking in here."

Wait what?

Yeosang's face completely scrunches in confusion when Jungkook takes a puff of his pen, "Did you not just say no smoking in here?"

"As long as no sees it, obviously," He snickers lowly and extends the pen out to him. Yeosang wanted to be stubborn and stay mad at him, of course he does, but he finds himself grabbing the pen and taking a puff of the smoke as well.

Mind as well enjoy the peace before his withdrawals kick in because of the cocaine, in which he will have it deal with alone since he wants Jungkook to not be involved in any part of this.

Jungkook suddenly smiles, "Aw, are we bonding?"

"Shut up."

Jungkook couldn't help himself but smile, thinking maybe it won't be so bad living with him after all.
