Chapter 16
"So anyone who'd fancy a delicious cup of tea? Cause damn, I cant wait for you all to spill me some." Ten spoke as he let the whole team inside his apartment. Jungkook raised both his eyebrows as he watched the black haired male's antics. The hacker surely would have thought that this was going to be a fight which wouldn't turn out that great for one of the sides involved but the fact that Ten was now willingly letting everyone enter his apartment was something none of them had counted on.
"Ohh and thank you by the way! I was waiting for someone to finally get those annoying pests off my back. They wouldn't leave me alone for even a single minute." The black haired male spoke as he turned a corner and gestured for everyone to take a seat on the big black couch that was standing proudly in the middle of the living room. Judging by the looks of it the apartment Ten was living in was expensive. Really expensive. Luxurious furniture could be spotted everywhere and overall the whole apartment just screamed expensive.
"This one is mental, I'm telling you." Yoongi softly whispered towards Jungkook and the brunette laughed softly before turning towards Yoongi and answering him. "Tell me something I hadn't noticed yet." The brunette spoke softly, making sure that Ten wasn't able to hear anything the two of them were saying. Right now the black haired male was cooperating which was something completely unexpected, yet it did make the job a whole lot easier. The team definitely didn't need him to stop doing what he was doing though because two people had called the male mental.
"So, spill me some tea boys. I have been a prisoner in this goddamn apartment for three days now and I desperately need some gossip from the outside world." Ten then spoke as everyone had sat down, including he himself. An excited look could be spotted on the black haired male's face and he raised one of his eyebrows, waiting for someone to finally start talking and telling him what the hell was going on.
Taehyung softly coughed before he decided to speak up. "I cannot give you any details so don't ask any questions okay?" The blonde began to speak and immediately Ten began to nod eagerly, as if he was swearing to tell no one and keep his mouth firmly shut for the time Taehyung was speaking.
"Johnny went on a mission with us to retrieve something we need but he ended up stealing it from us. He's gone of the radar ever since. We hope to find him through you." Taehyung said, purposely leaving out most of the details since Ten was a real chatterbox who couldn't ever keep his mouth shut. If anything went wrong then it would be better if the black haired male knew as less as possible. After all he couldn't spill all the team's secrets if he didn't knew them in the first place.
Ten nodded before he began laughed softly, an annoyed look visible on his face. "Ohh the irony of him betraying you Taehyung. That sorry excuse of a man has not shown any respect for anyone lately." Ten spoke, a bitter tone lacing his voice. Jungkook raised both his eyebrows upon hearing the answer of the boy and he softly shook his head, not understanding one bit of how this male worked. Ten was unpredictable and Jungkook surely didn't like it one bit.
However the bitter look on Ten's face soon disappeared again and made place for a bright smile. The black haired male jumped up before looking at the team, a look of mischief visible on his face. "Well, let's get to work then, you guys want him here so let's make a trap for him. Tie me up daddy cause we need to show Johnny a video of me being captured by you guys." Ten spoke as he stuck out both his hands towards Taehyung, giving him permission to bound them together.
Taehyung's mouth fell slightly open upon hearing the nickname Ten had just given him and he softly shook his head before pushing the black haired male's hands away and grabbing one of his wrists, pulling him towards the kitchen. "I ain't your daddy, cut the crap Ten." Taehyung spoke as he reached the kitchen and placed the smaller male on a chair before gesturing for Yoongi to come over and put some handcuffs on him.
"Hmm yeah I know, not yet." Ten winked towards Taehyung and the blonde briefly rolled his eyes before he walked back to the group. "One of you can do this cause I sure as hell am not going to." The blonde spoke, an irritated tone lacing his voice. Jungkook softly laughed at the expression visible on Taehyung's face. While he normally was a pro at hiding whatever it was that he was feeling Ten surely had gotten underneath the blonde's skin somehow, making his face reflect perfectly what he was thinking about Ten.
Ten and Taehyung had known each other before this whole thing with Johnny had started. Ten often came over when Johnny and Taehyung were still best friends and the black haired male had always been a little extra, something that Taehyung wasn't at all. It wasn't like he hated Ten, he just was way too different from him. The male was extremely extroverted and sometimes he just was a little too much for Taehyung to handle, which was exactly what was happening right now.
Namjoon softly sighed before he looked at Hoseok. "You film, I'll do the talking." The grey haired male spoke before he walked over towards the kitchen and unloaded his gun real quick. "See? No need to be scared if I press this thing against your temple. It isn't even loaded." The grey haired male spoke as he walked over towards Ten, who was now handcuffed by Yoongi.
"Bummer, I was ready for some kinky stuff." The black haired male spoke as he send a wink towards Namjoon, who only raised an eyebrow in return and ignored the comment completely, shaking his head softly at the words that had just left Ten's mouth. "You ready Hoseok?" The leader of the group spoke and Hoseok held up a thumb in return, as a gesture to say that he was ready for Namjoon to start speaking.
Immediately after Hoseok had answered him both Namjoon and Ten got into their roles. Namjoon's whole aura went dark and an intimidating look formed itself onto the grey haired male's face as he pressed the cold gun against Ten's temple while harshly grabbing the male's hair. Immediately after Namjoon had grabbed Ten's hair a loud sob left the black haired male's mouth and a few tears began to form into his eyes, making his brown orbs all glassy.
"You have something we want Johnny. I expect you to hand deliver it to us at ten in the morning tomorrow. Fail to do so and dear Ten here dies." Namjoon spoke coldly, a deadly stare in his eyes. It was the typical kind of stare that made shivers ran down your spine and turn your blood cold. Another loud sob left Ten's mouth, tears now streaming down his cheeks contiuously, yet no words left his mouth. The look on the black haired male's face was one of despair and fear. Jungkook watched the whole scene in front of him with big eyes. Both males were great actors and while Namjoon surely had something to be angry about since he wanted to make Johnny regret every single thing he had ever done, Ten was a whole different story. The male was betraying his own boyfriend at the moment and he was doing an amazing job at doing so. Yet Jungkook couldn't help but wonder why he was so willing to help them.
Taehyung was clearly thinking the same thing. The blonde was watching every move Ten made with a suspicious look on his face and as soon as the video was shot Taehyung got up before he walked over towards the others. "Something about this all doesn't seem right to me." Taehyung spoke and Jungkook quickly got up from the couch to hear more from the conversation, curious about this matter as well.
Both Namjoon and Ten looked up from their places and Taehyung sighed softly before he locked eyes with the black haired male. "Why are you helping us? Why are you betraying your own boyfriend?" The blonde asked, voicing out the thoughts of every single other person in the room. It was a question all of them would love to get an answer too. This was just going way too smoothly and it didn't seem right. Back when Taehyung and Johnny had been friends Ten had always been all over the other, sometimes not even giving him time to breath properly. How do you go from being madly in love with someone to betraying them?
Ten sighed softly before an angry look began to take over his face. "I found out Johnny cheated on me a few weeks ago, with a girl." The black haired male spoke as he balled his fists, his eyes clearly displaying the humiliation and regret he felt even thinking about it. "Ever since then I've been trying to find a way to get my revenge on him. You guys want the same as me so as soon as you said that you were betrayed by him too I figured we could help each other." Ten answered, looking at Taehyung with a serious look on his face. "I'm not trying to double cross you guys if that's what you're thinking. I just need to make him regret playing me like that. I am not some fucking toy he can toss around whenever he pleases."
Taehyung nodded before he turned towards Namjoon, his face blank but his eyes betraying still a slight hint of doubt in them. Yet the blonde decided to drop it for now, figuring it wouldn't do their mission any good by keep on doubting the one who had just helped them.
"So how are we gonna get the video to Johnny?" the blonde asked and immediately a smirk began to form onto Namjoon's face as he pointed at Jungkook. That's why we have him here with us. He'll find a way somehow." The grey haired male spoke as he locked eyes with Jungkook.
Jungkook was quick to understand the hint Namjoon was trying to give him and he immediately went to get his stuff before stalling it all out on the big dinner table in Ten's apartment and getting to work. "Hoseok can you send the video to my phone? I'm going to try and email the video from Ten's email address. I'm pretty sure he'll open it if it's from his own boyfriend."
Hoseok immediately nodded before sending the video towards Jungkook. Not even five minutes later Jungkook had already sent the video and the whole team were waiting for Johnny to somehow come in contact with them. A pretty tense atmosphere was hanging in the room due to the nervousness every single one of the males in the room had, all of them hoping to hear anything from the one they were looking for.
Lucky for them not even fifteen minutes after Jungkook had sent the video Taehyung's phone started to ring loudly and as soon as he checked the caller id he pressed his finger in front of his lips, telling the others to be quiet before picking up and putting the phone on speaker. "I was wondering when you'd call." The blonde spoke, his voice as emotionless as always yet his eyes betraying the hatred he was feeling for the person on the other end of the call.
"Shut the fuck up. You let Ten go right now. He's got nothing to do with this." Johnny spoke from the other side of the line, his voice filled with anger, yet a hint of fear also shining through. Taehyung laughed softly before he shook his head. "Sorry mate, you made him part of this as soon as you decided to betray us. You know the rules, if that chip ain't here tomorrow at ten in the morning your precious boyfriend dies, take it or leave it."The blonde spoke coldly into the phone before hanging up on his former best friend again.
Meanwhile Jungkook was busily typing onto his laptop, doing everything he could to track down the location of the cellphone Johnny was using to call Taehyung. The male had been smart enough to not use his own, seeing as this was clearly not his own number yet he was underestimating Jungkook's abilities. As soon as Taehyung ended the call, the brunette had already managed to track down the exact location from which the other had been calling.
"I got it." The hacker announced, turning his laptop screen so that the others knew exactly where Johnny was right now too. "I don't recall ever being in that part of the city." Taehyung spoke as he walked over and carefully took in the building on the laptop screen. The blonde gritted his teeth at realizing that Johnny once more had been multiple steps ahead of him, even renting out places Taehyung wouldn't recognize at all.
"So, what's our next move? Are we gonna sit around and wait until Johnny decides to show his face or are we gonna do a surprise attack and drive towards that building?" Yoongi spoke as he looked around the group, a serious tone lacing his voice. Namjoon sighed softly but then spoke again. "I guess it's best if we lay things low for now, see if Johnny actually shows up tomorrow. If he doesn't we can always go hunt him down at that location Jungkook found." The leader of the team spoke as he looked around the group, a serious expression visible on his face. "Besides, we need some rest to gain our strength back too. I am not going to risk any of our lives by doing two mission right after each other."
The group quickly agreed with their leader and before everyone knew it they were all off to do their own thing, enjoying some well deserved time for themselves. After Jungkook finally finished shutting off his computer again he looked up and figured what he would do now. Jungkook sighed softly as he had no idea what he had to do with this newfound free time, until he saw a familiar blonde all alone in the livingroom and quickly decided to walk over and sit down on the couch next to Taehyung.
The blonde male was starring aimlessly at the ceiling, completely lost in his thoughts. "What's on your mind?" Jungkook softly spoke, a curious tone lacing his voice. The blonde's face never failed to hide exactly what he was thinking or feeling.
Taehyung sighed softly before he looked next to him, locking eyes with Jungkook. "Nothing much. Just thinking about tomorrow." Taehyung answered, a truthful tone lacing his voice. It was true what he was telling Jungkook, he was thinking about tomorrow and how everything would go. Knowing Johnny he wasn't going to just show up unarmed and without any trouble. Whatever it was that the male was planning, it wasn't going to be easy for the team to deal with it, especially since Ten was involved now. Johnny might have cheated on the black haired male but Taehyung knew damn well that he still meant the world to his former best friend.
"Tomorrow surely is going to be eventful. Let's just hope everything will go alright. That's the only thing we can do right now anyway." Jungkook spoke softly to which Taehyung nodded, agreeing with the younger. There was no point in overthinking tomorrow already. It wouldn't influence the outcome anyway and there unfortunately would be no way to get into Johnny's head to know what he exactly was planning.
Taehyung was ready to open his mouth when he suddenly felt someone sit down next to him on the couch, wrapping their arms around his torso. "Hi TaeTae." Ten spoke, a seductive tone lacing his voice. Taehyung immediately rolled his eyes upon hearing the tone in which the black haired male was speaking and he softly grabbed the hands around his torso before removing them slowly. Jungkook was softly laughing at the red cheeks that were forming onto Taehyung's face, knowing the male wasn't someone who fancied gestures like this one.
"You know I've been thinking about my revenge plan and I figured since you're here, nothing hurts more than fucking your boyfriend's best friend right?" the black haired male spoke and immediately after Taehyung's mouth fell open while a hint of disbelief could be spotted on the male's face. Jungkook looked at the two with big eyes and a huge grin on his face, ohh how he loved watching the awkward conversation happening right in front of him.
"If you're talking about me, I ain't gonna fuck you Ten so you beter get that idea out of your head. You know that isn't why I am here." The blonde spoke, making clear that he was definitely not going to do what Ten wanted him to do. The black haired male however was having none of it and he quickly leaned a bit closer before laying one of his hands on Taehyung's chest, softly rubbing it up and down. "But after all of this is over, would you be willing to come back for some fun then? You know I always fancied that handsome face of yours."
Taehyung softly sighed before his face went blank and he removed the hand from his chest. "You just want revenge and I'm not gonna let you use me for that. You know me Ten and that isn't anything like me." Taehyung answered, a cold tone lacing his voice. It was as clear as crystal that the blonde male wasn't down for anything the other was suggesting yet he couldn't get rid of him.
Ten once again leaned closer before he softly began to whisper inside Taehyung's ear. "Is that the real reason Tae? Or does that handsome brunette got something to do with it as well?" The black haired male spoke, nodding with his head in Jungkook's direction. Taehyung softly sighed before looked into Jungkook's direction, Ten still being way too close for his liking. "Jungkook joined our team for business purposes only, not to hook up with me." The blonde answered, a serious tone lacing his voice.
Sure the both of them got along and while it was way too soon to call the other a friend they sure could rely on each other. Jungkook trusted Taehyung completely, the male had saved his life twice now and the brunette was pretty sure he'd do it a 3th time if it was needed but that was purely because they worked together, not because they were friends let alone anything more than that. Taehyung knew damn well how important it was to have Jungkook to work with them. The hacker was the one person they definitely could not miss inside the team since he was the only one who knew his way around with a computer as well as he did yet that too was only business related. As soon as the mission was over, the bond between the two was gone too and they would each go their separate ways again.
Jungkook had absolutely no clue how he was going to live his life as soon as everything surrounding this mission was done. If they even managed to get that chip back then soon all of Korea would go back to how it had always been, without an upcoming war and without some batshit crazy wannabe leader sending them all to the depts of the hell. Yet Jungkook couldn't go back to what he had always done. Once this mission was done he would finally be a free man again, without any criminal shit clinging onto his name. His record would be wiped clean completely and it would be the perfect opportunity to get rid of the life he had and start over, somewhere new. Yet how was he going to make money? The brunette wasn't the type to work under a boss and he certainly wasn't signing himself up for a 9 to 5 job. There were so many possibilities and yet the hacker had no idea where to go after this. How do you even go back to normal after experiencing something like this?
"Sureeee." Ten answered before getting up from the couch again and walking away towards the kitchen, purposely dragging the e since he didn't believe a word the blonde was telling him. He too could see something in Jungkook and what he was seeing was a tall and muscly brunette who sure looked like he'd do things with his partners that they'd never done before. If the black haired male was able to see how handsome Jungkook looked then Taehyung must have noticed that too, Ten was sure of that.
Jungkook watched as Ten left, both his eyebrows raised and his mouth hanging slightly open. The black haired male surely was mental, he became more sure of that every time the older opened up his mouth again. Slowly the brunette turned towards Taehyung, a confused look still on his face. At first everything Ten was saying had seemed funny but slowly it started to become more and more uncomfortable.
"What was that all about?" Jungkook asked, a questioning tone lacing his voice. The male had figured that since Taehyung had known the other from before this mission he would know why he acted like this too. Maybe the male had some sort of crush on Taehyung which the blonde clearly didn't return. That surely would explain a lot for Jungkook. To the brunette's surprise however Taehyung slowly raised his shoulders before dropping then again and locking eyes with the hacker.
"I've got absolutely no clue at all."
