27: I might even be the rat
You must be an omen. Needed you to show me that without you I'm lonely
______________________________
"Alright. Alright,"
I watch Taehyung slowly pace up and down in his office, holding his phone to his ear. Since we got to the warehouse he's been on his phone. The conversation seemed intent and was something I was dying to hear. His expression gave me nothing but pure seriousness. He cuts the call and rubs his hair out of his face letting it fall back.
"What's wrong?" I ask walking over to him laying my hand on his shoulder.
He sits on the table folding his arms. "Jimin got arrested."
"What?" I ask stunned by what he says. Just yesterday night I told Namjoon that Jimin is the crafter and creator of the scene to make people look dead but with false information and I sent him an address that I overheard Taehyung telling Jimin where to put the body. And already today he's arrested. "Taehyung speak to me.. let me help you clear your head,"
"I got off the call with Hoseok. He said the cops came to the club looking for Jimin. Dispute happened and then they began chasing them out the strip club and eventually shot Jimin and arrested him. He's in a holding cell and I can't bail him out until they prove him not guilty by the city court." He says tiredly, still thinking on the side. "What I can't understand is that we dealt with that issue of Jimin yesterday night. We cleared out his name but they're still suspecting him."
"Suspecting him of what? Cleared him from what?" I ask trying to understand. These detectives work fast and don't waste a single detail or information. What Namjoon and I see as little they work their way around it.
Jungkook barges in the midst when Taehyung's about to answer. For the very first time he doesn't look cold but instead looks way ready deadly and aggregated. "Why'd you tell Jay to let him go?"
"Because we have a snitch amongst us." Taehyung calmly replays still in his own zone.
"That's not my business–"
"It should be. Because everything we're doing is being monitored" He insists standing up while running his hand through his hair.
"Zha! We've been preying to get our hands on this man since his dumb daughter refused to talk and now we got him. And you what?" He claps his hands walking to Taehyung's face. "Set him free. Do you know how long it'll be to get him back?"
"Why can't you understand that we need to lay low for the time being?" Taehyung emphasises each of his words to Jungkook. By the way they're arguing it seems like they've been doing this for a while now. I bet they weren't like this before me.
"Lay low? Since when have we laid low? You're getting soft." Jungkook's about to walk out on Taehyung but then he spots me by the corner. Oh crap. "The fuck is she doing here?"
I shiver at his cold tone once he snaps. "Don't start with her–"
"In a place of working to get the man that you've been desperately seeking. You're with her." He points to me looking into Taehyung's eyes and chuckles. "Oh that's right, I forgot. You want to walk out on us. That's right, I heard. You wanna leave all this behind in order to be with her and what? Get us to clean up your mess?"
"That's not what's gonna happen–"
"You've been talking about rats being amongst us. Have you asked your girl who's she's been sending those files to?" Jungkook poses making Taehyung slowly turn his head to my direction.
"What files?" Taehyung asks seriously and my heart beats really fast. "Akai–"
"I don't know what he's talking about!" I shake my head moving a bit forward, hoping he'll believe it. "I swear I don't know what he's on to."
"Of course you don't." Jungkook says snapping us out of our argument. "Because I'm the rat." Jungkook declares.
"Jungkook what are you–"
We're snapped out of our dispute when Jungkook laughs. "For hell's sake I might even be the rat. Get it? Trying to get all you guys arrested and save my sorry ass,"
"Jungkook cut this out!"
"Why? So you can leave and get me to clean up all this mess?" He asks looking really hurt and out of control. "No. I didn't clean shit up for my dad. I certainly will not clean up after your shit. If we go down because of her, then I'll make sure not to put off what can be done today–"
His moves are fast when he pulls out his gun from his back pocket, but Taehyung is faster in shooting him right on his shoulder.
"AH FU–!"
"If you dare!" Taehyung snaps rapidly grabbing Jungkook from the floor forcing him onto the wall. Jungkook looks angered in defeat. "Jimin's in prison. If we don't watch our backs it might be us too!"
The door barges open with Jay running in with his his own gun, but stops when seeing the scene.
Taehyung grates out of his teeth. "Take Akai home Jay. When you're done grab this idiot and take him to Crush and Gray to get this bullet out his–"
"I can do it myself." Jungkook pushes Taehyung back. He groans and walks to the door. He turns back to me as I'm still in shock and anxious of what's happened. "Next time I'll kill you."
BANG!
"Taehyung–" I jump when Jungkook's shot on the same shoulder.
"Take Akai home Jay." Taehyung repeats still looking at Jungkook. "I dare you to kill her and that'll be your face next time."

Night time
Namjoon lays in bed pondering over his life. About how he mat Sindy, compared to how he mat Akai. They were both women but they were different. He may Sindy in the library. She was studying next to him and asked for help since he knew English. Sindy was privileged and knew what she wanted, the only thing she didn't know was speaking up.
He mat Akai in the graveyard. She offered him tea, something to calm him down. Akai, as he knows, always thinks about the people around her, she doesn't care about what she wants but instead helps others with what they want. She knew how to speak up and was determined to get what she wanted done.
How is it that he was attracted to Akai much faster then Sindy? How is it that he trusted Akai much faster than Sindy?
Truly he loved Sindy, but it wasn't really enough. She was his first everything but at the same time, he knew that he kept things from her and she kept things from him. They weren't honest with each other. And since she was his first, he felt that if he loved her then she would love him back. They spent years together and had their moments of amazingness. Could it be that his attraction level for Sindy was not high enough like the way for Akai?
He sits up and opens the curtains of his room looking out to the house. The house he bought just for them.
Akai deserved better then this house. Namjoon's heart elevates when he opens his phone seeing Akai's message.
Akai:
Mr MicDimples
I know you're not sleeping :)
Can we video chat?
He smiles and shakes his head switching on the lights. Sitting on the nearby chair requesting a video call with Akai.
He was more into Akai because of how much she cared about him and how she considered him in her own life.
Her face comes on the screen with smile. "Hey handsome,"
"Handsome?" Namjoon gwaks at her greetings and smiles. "I thought I was Mr MicDimples?"
She laughs. "You were when I was thinking of you. But when I actually saw you, I saw your handsome side,"
He flashes his dimples making her smile brighter.
"What's that behind you?" She asks and he catches her eyes averting to a box in the back.
"Uh," he looks back to the camera. "A box of Sindy's things. I was just packing her stuff. It's...been really tough you know. Just sorting all this out,"
"You don't have to do it all alone you know," she says speaking his words back to him. "You don't have to walk alone. I'm quoting this from my master,"
He smiles. "I know that. I know I've got you now to always... Be by my side,"
"That gives me strength," she chuckles and zooms her camera out showing that she was outside. She takes a deep sigh and looks out in the open.
"Hey," he calls getting her attention. "Are you okay?"
She nods her head very slowly. "Yes...I think... I don't know..I just...really miss my mum.." she sniffs her nose and out of nowhere her tears fall down. "I wish I could see her again,"
