The Scent of freshly brewed coffee surrounded the atmosphere, the bakery was always his favourite place to be at.

Whether it is to clear his mind or start an argument with himself, he always chose this bakery. Currently he was busy with an assignment from university, he chose business criteria just like his father. 

There were loads of assignments left for him to do, as always he's rushing when the deadline for the assignments are close.

For two continuous days he has been working on his assignments in the bakery, he would be here right at the opening time and leave when it's being closed at night. 

The people working in the bakery was his friends by now, he paid a good amount of sum to book the single table at the back for the whole week.

"Jungkook" a boy calls his name from a distant. Lifting his head up he was met with a smiling Taehyung. Taehyung grabs a chair and takes a seat close to him. 

"Working hard ha?" He asks and the boy nods tiredly. 

"Did you have lunch?" Jungkook asks closing his laptop.

"Not yet" 

"Let's go have lunch then" Jungkook started packing his stuff, "Is Namjoon Hyung still working?" 

"Nope, he went out with evelyn" Taehyung scoffs.

"I don't like that woman" Jungkook scoffs too. 

"Why? She haven't done anything wrong" someone else speaks behind them, turning around they were met by seokjin. 

"I know but I still don't like her, she acts like Angel" Jungkook's lips pulled into a pout. 

"You miss her" seokjin laughs and walks out the bakery with the other two. 

"I don't" Jungkook lies, his heart yearns to see her. To check if she is doing well but he ignores that feeling and pretends to think that he hates her.

"I do" Seokjin beams, "Miss seeing her being serious about everything" he sighs. "Where are we going?"

"You're going no where, me and Kook are going to have lunch" Taehyung says making seokjin frown. 

"Ya" Seokjin utters in disbelief, "I-I wanted to join you two, how dare you say that to me- fine fine go out together, sorry for bothering" seokjin turns on his heels to walk away. The two youngers laugh and grab his hand and pulls him toward the restaurant. "Let me go you asshats!!" 

The three head towards the restaurant, while Jungkook and Seokjin were bickering, Taehyung's mind was occupied about some other thought. Specifically the relationship between Jungkook and Angel. The Diary he found in Angels room back then. 

He did realize some similarities between them, the both of them had eyes that looks cute when they are sad or happy or frustrated. And the way they act when they get excited over something.

His chest burnt, he was holding Jungkook's world in his palm. If he finds out, everything will come crashing down. He had to protect the younger.

But first, he has to get rid of the chain that binds him to his underworld boss. A bloodlust demon.

But how?

--•☆•--

He stood before his dead colleague like a statue. To see his friend with a dagger stuck on his forehead was not a nice thing at all. He has lost many of his men but he never really cared, they were there to die for him anyway.

But Felix was like a brother to him. His most trusted man. If he knew Felix would return to him dead, he'd never have sent him.

They're gonna pay for that.

It's coming to them, unexpected and hard.

--•☆•--

"Ohooooo look over there!!" Seokjin exclaimed pointing at a fancy restaurant like a child. "Do you see them!"

"See who?" Jungkook asked while trying to follow seokjin's finger. Where was this bro pointing at?

"The couple!" He beamed making Taehyung click his tongue at the older.

"Haven't you seen a couple before" Taehyung shook his head disappointed.

"I have" Seokjin stared down at the younger his tone changing immediately. And the next second he was back at being an excited child, "It's Nam and Eve!"

Now that got the attention of the other two and both started chickening out trying to find where seokjin was pointing at.

Across the road was a fancy restaurant, where the only people who can afford to eat there were the rich. Namjoon and Evelyn were seated on a table near the see through glass wall.

Namjoon had a sour expression on his face while Evelyn looked as though she was giggling.

"Ew" Jungkook commented.

"They don't even look good together" Taehyung followed Jungkook's clear distaste over the woman.

"Why the negatives?" Seokjin sighed, "Let's go spy on them-"

Before the two youngers could protest the older dragged the two towards the restaurant. He seemed to be the younger one here.

Silently they crept into the restaurant making sure that they don't catch the couples attention, but the darn bell on the door made them curse. Who's decision was it to install a bell on the door? Seokjin was gonna rip that dude.

Luckily the two seemed to be in a deep conversation. They didn't even glance at their side.

"Pick a table close to theirs so we can hear them" Seokjin whispered at them, "I'll  be back quick" and he disappeared.

"What is he upto?!" Taehyung whispered at Jungkook in frustration.

"I just hope we don't fall in trouble" Jungkook muttered worriedly and the two sat on a table which was about two meters away from Namjoon's.

Thankfully Namjoon's back was facing them, Evelyn doesn't know Jungkook yet, so she wouldn't notice him much. But Taehyung used the menu card as his disguise.

The two youngers were startled when Seokjin appeared out of nowhere and sat in between their seat. Jungkook and Taehyung's lips fell into a line looking at the older.

"Mom and dad definitely got the babies changed accidentally in the hospital" Taehyung thought.

Seokjin has found a mustache as his disguise. Where'd he even get that from?

"Where did you find a mustache?" Jungkook asked in surprise.

"Ripped it off a waiters face and told him he looks handsome without it" Seokjin laughed softly making Jungkook laugh too. Taehyung shook his head in disbelief.

"You're full of surprises" Jungkook commented making Seokjin thank him in return. Now the three began their eavesdropping session.

Namjoon still had the sour expression on his face, "I'm swear this is the worst pasta I've ever had"

"Oh c'mon it's not that bad, maybe we should have some ice cream for dessert, that would make your mood" she suggested.

"Absolutely no mint choco" he stated making her giggle yet again.

"Why are you laughing so much, it's not even funny" he shakes his head making her let out a laugh.

"It's just that, the way you complain is so cute and fun to listen to" she compliments him and gives a look at him that only lovers give to their lover. What kind of look is that?

Adoration.

Clear admiration.

Namjoon doesn't even look at her, he just wanted to finish the food and go home. He has this habit of not wasting food, even if it tasted bad he stills clears up the plate. That's a habit he wished he got rid of rather than let himself suffer like this.

And this woman before him enjoyed watching him suffer. It reminded him of someone, and that made him smile.

"Oh! a smile" Evelyn beamed excited, "That was the first time I've seen you smiling without forcing yourself to do it" her words made him frown.

"What do you mean?" He asked, now looking at her.

"I mean, I know you are not fond about this marriage as I am" her words made him feel guilty, she deserves someone better. "And I'm fine with it actually, in time we will be fine. I know you're forcing yourself, all the smiles you give for my father are fake- I mean- I would do the same if I was forced you know- just-" she was stumbling on her words, her mind fuzzy because the attractive man before her had all his attention on her.

For the first time. He was paying her attention.

"Are you okay? Is it cold?" He asked, "should I ask them to bring a jacket for you?"

"N-no I'm Fine- I'm- I'm gonna go to the washroom-" she didn't finish her sentence but grabbed her purse and left the table.

The three spy masters were eaves dropping still, "Is she sick or something? She sounded like a lost puppy" Jungkook asked annoyed.

"I feel like they might get along pretty well" Taehyung just wished Namjoon would be happy.

"I told you, they are fine for each other" Seokjin replied while trying to make sure his mustache doesn't fall off.

"I still don't  like her-" jungkook started and the three got lost in a conversation that they didn't realize a man hovering over them from behind.

Jungkook and taehyung froze when they felt a hand on their shoulder and Seokjin's mustache fell off when he heard a whisper in his ear.

"Hello my brothers" Namjoon said in a tone which sounded like they were in trouble. "What a surprise to see you three here"

"W-we weren't absolutely eavesdropping" Jungkook said and Taehyung nodded making seokjin pinch his nose in frustration. Couldn't they have come up with a better excuse?

Namjoon knew these three are gonna tease him when they get a chance, "If you don't lea e now, I'll never enter our house"

"Aight! Buddies" seokjin grabbed the two men by their arms and headed towards the door. Namjoon let out a heart laugh once they left.

"What would my life be without them" he sighed with a soft smile on his face.

Honestly, they were his happy pill.

What would he do if they were snatched from him? He didn't know. He didn't want to know too.
