DECEMBER 7TH

Taehyung view

Jeongguk had finally allowed Taehyung to call his mother every week.

But of course he had to have Jeongguk with him.

He had just finished saying bye to his mom now and it was around half past seven in the evening. Jeongguk had eaten dinner early since he had to go to LUNAR (a popular club mainly used by criminals and mafia members) and he was taking taehyung with him.

Jeongguk sported his expensive grey coloured suit, long coat over the top too. Taehyung wanted to ask if the man ever wanted to wear anything comfortable from time to time.

"where are you going?" taehyung asked innocently when he saw jeongguk was wearing his coat.

"we're going out. Its for buisness so i suggest you get changed out of your pajamas." jeongguk examined taehyungs matching set of pajamas with pointed eyes.

Taehyung huffed, quickly running upstairs as he changed into a comfy sweatshirt and black jeans. He never understood why jeongguk actually brought him along but it made him happy he got to go outside.

"where are we going?" taehyung asked as jeongguk was loading his gun.

"to a club." jeongguk simply answered.

Taehyung gasped. "i've never been to one of those!" he exclaimed in excitement. "is it fun?" he curiously asked.

Jeongguk looked at him. "you're twenty one yet you've never gone clubbing?" he frowned. Taehyung really was like a little child.

Taehyung pouted and shook his head. "is that bad?" he looked at jeongguk with sad eyes.

"no." jeongguk muttered. It felt weird, but he admired taehyungs innocence, he knew of too many teenagers out there who have done/know way more than taehyung.

"dont wander off anywhere. This club is dangerous and you need to stick by my side. Understand?" jeongguk sternly told the younger.

Taehyung just nodded his head at him, knowing if he asked multiple questions he would annoy the older.

---

When they entered the club, taehyung was surprised by his surroundings. Jeongguk was holding his hand tightly because he didnt want the boy to get lost and taehyung was blushing from his hold like a little boy.

Anyway— neon lights flashed around the spacious interior, every single object just screamed rich and luxurious. The seats probably cost more than taehyung, the material just looked so sleek and shiny. Jeongguk was leading him to one of those said seating areas upstairs.

The loud music quietened down and both boys were alone with only the company of the bartenders that would be serving them. It was dark, private and silent, only the faint sound of music and chatter.

Jeongguk let go of taehyungs hand and sat on the couch. Taehyung was about to sit on a seperate one before Jeongguk stopped him.

"didnt i say you need to stick by my side?" Jeongguk raised a brow at the boy.

Taehyung looked at him confused. "im just sitting?" he mumbled.

"other men will be joining us taehyung and they arent considered the safest of people. Sit here." Jeongguk ordered him strictly.

Taehyung nervously sat next to Jeongguk. He didnt like the idea of coming here anymore.

"why am i here?" taehyung asked Jeongguk, voice quiet.

Jeongguk looked at him for a moment. "because you're my secretary."

Taehyung let out a small "oh" as he nodded his head. "a-are they dangerous?" he asked Jeongguk nervously.

"yes." Jeongguk blatantly told him. "but I wont let anything happen to you." he said seriously.

Taehyung didnt know why his tummy did a flip or why he liked Jeongguk saying those words.

"thank you." he mumbled to the older.

Jeongguk was just looking straight ahead. "i havent done anything." he stated.

"i-i know." taehyung muttered. "but uhm t-thank you f-for saying that." he coughed in embarrassment.

Jeongguk looked at him and was about to say something until two more men joined them. Their names: isuel and kyushin. Their job: own an illegal weapon buisness and are part of a gang.

They looked very intimidating.

"trust you not to order any drinks jeon." isuel said with a playful smirk as he and kyushin sat down. "can we get some drinks over here please!" he yelled to the bartenders.

Jeongguk rolled his eyes at the mans attidute. "we're here to do buisness. Drinks arent necessary." he said, deep voice making taehyung shiver.

Kyushin was staring at taehyung the whole time. "who are you?" he asked straightforwardly.

Taehyungs eyes widened a little and he looked helplessly at jeongguk who nodded his head, telling the boy it was okay to reply. Kyushin watched their interaction with narrowed eyes.

"i-im taehyung." he muttered.

"why are you with jeon? He's always come here alone." kyushin stated.

"He's my secretary kyushin and its none of your buisness if i bring someone with me." jeongguk said with little anger.

"he doesnt look like he's one of your men. If he's your fuckboy tell us and we'll meet another time." kyushin sounded annoyed.

Jeongguk growled at his words. "he's not my fuckboy." he muttered, leaning forward in a threatning stance as he glared at kyushin.

Their glaring was interrupted when the lady kindly placed down their drinks. There was almost one of every single kind since no one specified what drinks they wanted.

Taehyung nervously fiddled with his fingers, staying silent since that idea seemed best.

Isuel just poured himself a drink and downed the whole thing. "kyushin shut up. Jeon tell us what you want." he said with zero patience.

Jeongguk cleared his throat. "a twenty five  millimetre grenade launcher." he said.

Isuel nodded his head. "that's two million WON." (2000 dollars and 1600 pound.)

"one million." jeongguk argued.

"too low." isuel raised a brow.

"one million, five hundred thousand." jeongguk stated.

"deal." isuel got out his phone, recording the details.

Jeongguk sighed, taking a swing at his drink and taehyung was watching him with big curious eyes.

Jeongguk looked at him. "you want some?"

Taehyung nodded his head and jeongguk held his glass up to the boys lips, watching his face intently for any reaction.

Meanwhile isuel and kyushin were watching them in shock.

Taehyung carefully drank it and jeongguk took the glass away before it was too much. He studied taehyung, trying to see if he liked it.

But when he saw the boys face scrunch up in distaste that already answered his question and jeongguks lips just curved up a little from the boys cute reaction.

"that's not nice jeongguk." taehyung mumbled, brows still furrowed and jeongguk wanted to chuckle. They forgot they were in the presence of two other people.

Until they heard a loud cough that snapped them out of their own world. They turned to see isuel and kyushin looking at them with wide eyes and immdiately jeongguks facial expression hardened again.

"he calls you by your first name?" isuel asked in surprise.

"and he's not dead yet?" kyushin butted in.

"and he drank from your glass?" isuel said.

"and you even helped him?" kyushin spoke.

There was a pause.

"and you just smiled?!"
"and you just smiled?!"
They both exclaimed in surprise.

Jeongguk was close to killing them both with his deadly stare and taehyungs cheeks went red.

"both of you leave." jeongguk growled and that was enough to get them to go.

Taehyung shyly peered up at jeongguk. "im sorry." he mumbled.

Jeongguk sighed. "its fine."

They got up, wanting to leave but suddenly all of the lights turned off and it was pitch dark.

"j-jeongguk!" Taehyung yelled in panic as he couldnt see the older.

Jeongguk quickly turned on his flashlight, eyes landing on a scared Taehyung.

"im here, dont panic. its just a power cut." jeongguk grabbed Taehyungs hand again and the boy held on tightly.

Though jeongguk didnt seem to believe his own words.

"dont let go of my hand, taehyung." jeongguk ordered as he began to walk downstairs, flashlight directing him. He tried to ignore everyones screams.

Yet they only became louder.

And Jeongguk froze.

Because a loud gunshot was heard.

It was too loud.
