Once again Jungkook was walking through the old sketchy streets of the bad  neighborhood he had sworn to never go to again. It was dark and cold and the street lanterns did little to nothing to keep the way Jungkook was walking illuminated under the dim light that the moon was providing this evening. The brunette hid his face a little deeper behind his scarf as a cold shiver ran down his spine. The weather was slowly getting more and more chilly as the days passed by and now more than ever the hacker wished that summer would come back again.

Cold weather was something Jungkook absolutely detested. He hated anything to do with snow, ice  or cold and he'd rather just stay home all winter, waiting for spring to brighten his days once again.  However unfortunately the warm and sunny days the brunette loved so much were still a long distance away and thus he had to bare with his least favorite season for a little longer.

Once again Jungkook was heading towards the creepy looking lair of the team  which he  was joining for their mission. The brunette had gotten a message last night again saying that he was expected to be joining the other males while they went through their plan one last time. The date of the mission was only two days ahead from now and to say Jungkook would be completely relaxed about it would be a straight up lie. The fact that he was actually doing a physical mission instead of one where he could just work from the safety of his home was creeping him out and he could only hope that everything went as they had initially planned.

By now the hacker had mastered the lock he had to open completely and it would be a piece of cake to open it in less than ten minutes. That three million dollars was definitely within hand reach,  the only thing left to do was actually the mission itself. Jungkook had no doubt in himself and since he had studied the same damn lock for hours after hours he just knew that he could do it. His confidence was sky rocketing and that might just be the one thing the brunette needed right now in order to not completely freak out about him joining a team in robbing a bank.

Before the brunette knew it he was once again standing in front of the old and rusty looking door. It still looked like a place Jungkook wouldn't ever feel like going to and the light outside was still flickering slightly too. A soft sigh left the brunette's mouth as he focused his gaze on the only source of light nearby. To him it felt like his anxiety resembled that light perfectly. One minute it was shining bright and Jungkook felt like everything would just work out perfectly fine and the other moment darkness took over again and all kinds of doom scenario's popped up the male's mind. 

The brunette slowly raised his hand a bit before he knocked on the cold metal door in front of him, announcing his presence to the rest. The male then patiently waited for someone to open the door for him as he  felt like it would  be rude to just let himself in. Jungkook wasn't part of this team in any way and just because these people payed him for his services didn't mean that he could be completely comfortable around them. They needed each other for this job, nothing more and nothing less.

It's not like they were friends or something..

Jungkook sometimes regretted his career choice. He didn't have friends at all and the ones he had had been pushed away by him in order to protect them. The brunette always had been alone ever since he had gone down this path and that fact probably wouldn't change anytime soon. Every birthday, every Christmas and every holiday was spend alone by Jungkook and it was at those times that the male felt most lonely. Ohh how he would love to have a safe haven to go to whenever he needed to. Jungkook couldn't rely on anyone for that matter and deep down that made the male feel like he had made all the wrong choices. Sometimes he regretted choosing to live  in a world were having  friends just wasn't an option.

It didn't take long before the rusty door was being pushed open and a friendly brunette was standing on the other side of it. Jungkook immediately recognized this male as Johnny and said male waved the other brunette over to come in. "We've been waiting for you Jungkook. It's good to see you again!" he spoke as the male turned around and began to make his way back into the creepy looking hallway.

Jungkook smiled slightly to himself due to the friendly tone in which the other male had been speaking to him. The irony that this same man would held a gun against his head two days away from now was kinda funny to the hacker and he genuinely asked himself how they could give someone like him the task of doing that. To Jungkook Taehyung would be the one who'd most fit the description of being able to just held a gun against someone's head and pretend you're gonna kill him. The blonde male definitely wouldn't have a problem with doing it for real so he should be fine with pretending like he'd do it.

"I'm glad Namjoon didn't scare you off last time you know. He was pretty harsh on you." Johnny spoke as he looked over his shoulder at the brunette following him through the creepy hallway. That same smile from before was still plastered on the other brunette's face as if it had been glued on there and Jungkook laughed softly. "Trust me, I've dealt with way worse. I can handle him."

It was true, while Namjoon was indeed a man who'd definitely wouldn't mind using his strong personality against someone but Jungkook wasn't backing down anytime soon. He knew that the male needed him and he would definitely use that fact to his advantage. He had dealt with big mafia bosses and gang leaders before so he had no problem with this creepy male, even if he had found out all kinds of secret information about Jungkook.

"I bet you have. Just sit next to me and we'll have some fun this time, okay?" Johnny then offered and Jungkook softly nodded. He'd actually liked the idea the brunette had offered him. At least that would mean that he didn't have to sit next to Jimin. The pink haired male had actually given Jungkook the creeps last time and he had totally come across as a person Jungkook wanted to stay as far away as possible from. That boy looked innocent and bubbly but if you gave him a gun the hacker was pretty sure he turned into a complete psycho.

It didn't take long before the two brunettes  walked into the only modern looking room in the whole building and immediately Jungkook's eyes grew big at the sight in front of him. Namjoon and Taehyung were busily talking while the older one of the two was pointing at something on the blueprint that was laying in front of the two of them. Yoongi was sitting next to Hoseok on the couch while the two of them were talking and laughing. Jimin was sitting on top of Yoongi's lap while playing with the older boy's hair and immediately the turning wheels in Jungkook's head began to spin again. Where those two together? Like together together? Was that even possible?

However soon the brunette shook his head a bit and focused his sight on Jin. The male was bussily typing on his phone while his tongue was sticking slightly out of his mouth. Jungkook raised both his eyebrows in confusion and looked at the oldest male as if he had grown two heads. Last time he had entered this room a very serious atmosphere had been hanging around the whole place. This time however all the males looked relaxed and somewhat even happy.

It almost looked like they weren't only days away from robbing a fucking bank...

Johnny smiled at Jungkook before he clapped in his hands three times. The slapping sound echoed throughout the whole room and immediately everyone focused their attention on the only two men who were still standing. Jungkook lowered his gaze to his feet quickly, not liking this newfound attention he was getting at all. The brunette had never liked being the centre of attention and back when he had still been a teenager the boy had done the utter most in order to prevent being so. Now however there wasn't any way of escaping it. The hacker could feel the burning gazes of the others pricking at his skin, trying to find a way inside.

"I guess we're all here now. Shall we start with the meeting?" Johnny asked, a friendly smile still plastered on his face. Namjoon immediately fixed his gaze upon the brunette standing next to Johhny and he nodded slowly while not even blinking once. The cold and powerfull stare of the older male made Jungkook feel very uncomfortable and he decided to just ignore it while following Johnny and taking place next to the boy. Out of all males in the room the other brunette felt like the most relaxed to be around. Johnny gave off this friendly and relaxed aura and somehow Jungkook felt at ease with him. He didn't try to scare Jungkook and overall he was just treating the hacker how he liked to be treated, as an equal.

"Don't worry, today's meeting will be over before you know it." Johnny whispered while leaning a bit towards Jungkook as the other male sat down next to him. "Namjoon just wants to make sure everyone knows the plan." The other brunette then added before leaning back again and smiling towards Jungkook. The hacker sent a small smile back before looking around the room again. Everyone had stopped doing what they had been doing previously and they had taken place around the big table in the middle of the room. Yoongi had taken a seat next to Jungkook while Jimin sat next to Yoongi on the other side.

Upon eyeing Jimin from his place the brunette once again noticed that weird way too happy smile on the boy's face. The whole team was about to discuss their plan for robbing the biggest bank in all of Seoul and yet Jimin looked like his whole life was filled with rainbows and sunshines. To say Jungkook thought that the boy was a bit odd would be an understatement. However this boy also had something creepy hanging around him. To Jungkook it looked as if the whole happy and bubbly personality Jimin possessed was just a façade for his real personality. Underneath those sparkling blue eyes of the pink haired boy his true intentions were hiding and Jungkook was sure he didn't want to find out what those were.

"I've gathered  you all here today  to discuss the plan once more." Namjoon suddenly spoke, his loud and powerfull voice booming through the whole room. The grey haired male was currently standing at the head of the table while wearing an expensive looking suit and a serious look on his face. Namjoon scanned everyone's faces in the room while his lips began to form a small smirk. He and his whole team had been planning this robbery for weeks now and while he knew that they  had planned out everything they could the tallest male of them all still felts some sort of excitement in this mission. Normally an operation  like  this  would take up a few months of planning, however that was time that they  didn't have.

It was now or never

"Now that Jungkook has joined our team and  mastered hacking the lock for the  vault we are complete." Namjoon spoke as he shifted his gaze upon the hacker, his expression hardening slightly. Jungkook shot a challenging look back, not liking how the older still called him Jungkook even though the brunette himself had never given him the right to do so. Inside the criminal world he was Hersey, not Jungkook. The brunette  liked to keep his real personality out of his job at all times and Namjoon was making it really hard for the hacker to do so.

Namjoon then slammed both his hands on the table and looked around the males  sitting around it with a dark and  serious expression crossing his face. "I'm going to go through the plan one more time and I want you all to listen very carefully. I will not tolerate any mistakes. Am I clear?" the tough male spoke as he raised both his eyebrows while locking eyes with each and every male in the room. Jungkook nodded silently while a slight feeling of intimidation fell over him once the powerful stare of Namjoon had reached him. He and the older male clearly didn't like each other and while Namjoon needed Jungkook for this job and  Jungkook needed Namjoon for his payment the two didn't seem like they would get along any time soon. From the very first moment Jungkook had laid his eyes upon the other he had sensed a certain hatred boiling within the other, as if Namjoon just couldn't wait to grab Jungkook and beat him up completely.

"Jimin you will enter the  bank first. You will act as if you are there to make a  deposit from your bank account. Make sure you don't pay any attention to Jungkook. Act as if you have never seen him before." Namjoon explained the first role and Jimin smiled brightly before he stuck one thumb in the air and began to nod enthusiastically. "You got it boss." The pink haired boy answered as he looked at Jungkook and sent a wink his way in a playfull manner. Jungkook immediately gulped visibly upon the older male acknowledging his presence and he quickly looked the other way in order to avoid any further contact with the creepiest male in the whole damn room. Namjoon might be a big fat creeper but it was definitely Jimin who was the psychopath amongst this team.

Namjoon then turned to Jungkook, locking eyes with the younger almost immediately. "Jungkook you will walk inside the bank to also make a deposit. It is very important that you will not be standing in the same line as Jimin and that his turn will  be before you will even reach the counter. Just act normal and don't draw any attention to yourself." The older explained in a slow tone while making sure every single word was heard  by the hacker. Jungkook only nodded in  a way of understanding what the other was telling him before breaking their eye contact. The stare the other was giving him was really intense and the brunette had started to feel uncomfortable underneath it.

"The rest of us will enter the bank at the same time at exactly twelve o' clock. The moment we come in we immediately start raising hell and Jimin will take over everything behind the counter while making sure no one can press any  emergency buttons." The boss of this mission began to further explain the plan before looking at Jimin once again, his lips slowly turning into as small smirk. "Threaten anyone who tries to get close to a button with your gun. Shoot in the  air if you must, just don't hit anyone."

Jimin's eyes immediately lit up once he heard that and he began to enthusiastically bounce up and down his chair. "This is so exciting!" The pink haired boy exclaimed while a big smile began to form onto his face. Ohh how Jimin had been dying for some action for the past couple of months. He definitely wasn't made for  a boring office job and thus the moment Namjoon had told him he needed him for a job Jimin had dropped everything he had and followed his boss to wherever he was leading him.

"The rest of us, use your guns to threaten any wannabe hero who thinks he can save everyone. Johhny, you will actually target Jungkook and use him as  a way to show everyone that they shouldn't mess with us." Namjoon then spoke before looking at his friend and smirking slightly. "Hurt him slightly if you must to get the message across, just don't harm him badly." The older male spoke, a slight hint of amusement lacing his voice.

Jungkook immediately clenched his jaw  upon hearing those words leave the older's mouth. Ohh how he would thank every single god in existence once he was done with this job. Hadn't the paycheck been that high then the brunette would have walked away a long time ago. However there was a lot of money at stake and that was something Jungkook absolutely didn't want to miss. He had already spent too much hours mastering that damn lock and he wasn't willing to let all his hard work go in vain now.

"After Johnny has taken Jungkook to the back they will go and get our target. Meanwhile we will continue to raise some hell until they get back. After that we will toss Jungkook back on the ground while he acts scared. Johnny will act as  if he has everything we came for and we will leave in a van in which Jin is waiting for us. He will  then  bring us to safety while Jungkook will be interrogated by the police. After that he will bring us our target and we will pay him." Namjoon finished explaining the plan and everyone nodded understandingly.

Taehyung then stood up too before he looked briefly at Jungkook, his eyes cold and empty. "Everything has to go exactly like we planned or else we will all be screwed okay. Don't think you will get away easily once you screw up the plan, I will personally make sure of that." The blonde spoke in a serious tone before shifting his gaze  from one male to another. It was as clear as crystal that a lot was at stake for the male and that he wouldn't take failure as a result. Succes was clearly the only outcome he wanted to see.

Suddenly however Hoseok raised his hand before he began to speak. "Why do we actually give Jungkook the target? Wouldn't it be safer to let one of us take it to safety?" The male asked, clearly confused about the fact that they were planning on giving something as valuable as the thing  they were going to steal to someone like Jungkook, who wasn't  even  part of their team if they weren't paying him. It seemed like  quite a weird plan if you asked anyone who didn't know any of the intentions behind it.

Jungkook himself understood the question the older male had asked immediately. He himself found it odd too that they were trusting him with such an important thing. He hadn't known them for long and of course he wouldn't get paid if he  wouldn't give them their target but what if the brunette would decide to double cross them and give their ohh so wanted target to another big criminal? There would be absolutely nothing anyone could do about it then.

Namjoon smirked slightly  before he turned his gaze towards Hoseok. "Because, my dear friend, if anyone indeed fucks up our plan then at least we haven't lost what we actually came for. If you go through every damn scenario that can happen then giving the target to Jungkook would be the safest. No one suspects a victim like him to carry something like that." The grey haired male explained while locking his gaze with Jungkook, who was looking at him with a sharp look on his face. The younger seemed like he was ready to catch anything Namjoon would throw at him and it made the older that much more determined to fix this job. Finally he was looking at the one and only person who he had been wanting to meet for years now.

Jungkook  had no idea how pleased Namjoon was to finally see him in person.

"Is everything clear?" Taehyung then asked and a pleased look became visible on the blonde's face as he received a nod from everyone sitting around the table. The plan was completely ready and the only thing left to do was put it into action. Finally it would all start and they couldn't fail.

Everyone's future was on the damn line
