"Are you ready?". Jimin asks Jungkook with a sigh, and Jungkook can't help but wonder how the fuck it's humanly possible to be smiling and looking pretty for the cameras but somehow manage to piss him off that much.

"Yeah. You?".

"Of course I am.". He responds loftily, in a way that makes Jungkook want to hit him. Again.

The first episode was filmed yesterday, and because of Jimin, Jungkook had to film his scenes from 5 PM to 11, even though he was on set at 8 AM.

From what he's figured out after reading the script, they're going to need to act out more sexual tension than he ever wants to experience with this manic twink Barbie doll. But here he is.

To make it worse, there's a kiss scene in Episode 3, another in Episode 8, and a whole sex scene in Episode 10. Perfect. Then to make it worse, a kiss in the rain in Episode 12, and one as a finale in Episode 16. Enough to make Jungkook gouge his eyes out. It's going to take a lot of willpower to act like he's completely enamoured by him.

Right now, they're at one of the many abandoned warehouses in this part of the city, watching as cameras are being set up, Hoseok is talking with the extras who are acting as Jungkook's henchmen. They already looked around, they both know what they need to do and when, the only problem is having to be in the same frame as Jimin.

From what he knows from hate-reading and cringing at every one of Jimin's lines, in the last episodes his character accidentally witnessed Jungkook's gang killing someone and was taken to see his own character who's supposed to be a badass mafia boss.

At least he's going to be able to make fun of him about this forever, because, really. Jimin's character is too much like himself, just a bimbo, really.

That thought almost cheers him up enough that he doesn't feel too terrible that there's going to be a kiss scene in one episode. Keyword: almost.

"What the fuck is taking so long?". Jimin complains. "God, I've never been forced to wait this long in years.".

"Stop being a diva and shut the fuck up.". Jungkook tells him, flipping the page in his script.

"Well, as the main character I'd expect to get decent treatment, but I guess that's a no.".

"You're not even the main character.". Jungkook responds, and Jimin glares.

"Oh? Who is it, then? If I recall correctly-".

"You both are.". The makeup artist says soothingly, coming over to touch up on his eye makeup. "There's no set main character.".

"I still think mine counts because Jungkook doesn't even get a cameo until Episode 2.". Jimin huffs.

"News flash: your bitchass twink character isn't gonna be the main. Have you ever even seen a mafia movie?".

"News flash: Your character is only going to be popular because you have brawns and no brains and let them call you daddy.".

"Okay, I never-".

"Both of you, you're on soon. Don't fight.". The makeup artist says with a sigh, putting the eyeshadow palette back into her bag. "Good luck.".

Seo-yun (Jungkook's character) throws the door open, the rusted metal banging against the frame, followed by his entourage as he makes his way to the back of the warehouse, striding down the old, beat-up floor, looking completely out of place in his tailored suit and slicked back hair.

"Who did you get this time?". He asks, turning to the man on his right; Han Jae-yoon, played by idol actor Kim Seokjin.

"We don't know who he is. But he saw it.".

"Saw what?".

"Dusk Group case. The ones who scammed us.".

"Don't tell me-".

"He saw our faces, too. And the face of the man who was killed.".

Seo-yun curses quietly, turning back to the boy who's tied to a chair, eyes closed.

"What did you do to him?".

"Nothing yet. We wanted to ask you.".

He nods curtly, making his way to the back of the room, kneeling in front of the boy.

"Is he awake?". He shouts to the group in the back.

At that, Yu-jun lifts his head, eyes wide as he stares at the man in front of him.

"Who are you?". He hisses, to which Seo-yun hooks a finger under his chin, pulling his head up.

"Who are you?".

Yu-jun doesn't answer, instead scans the room, looking more and more furious as he sees the run-down warehouse, countless men in tailored suits with their arms crossed, flanking Seo-yun.

"Why am I here, you creeps?!". He shouts, trying to move his arms in the restraints. "What did you do to me?!".

"Think back. What did you witness a few nights ago?".

"I don't remember, you fucking psycho!".

Seo-yun smirks.

"Right answer. You learn fast. Now, who the fuck are you?".

"I-".

"Your name, I want your name, age, and job.".

"Why do you-".

He's cut off as Seo-yun pulls his hand away, slapping him across the face.

"Name, age and job. Now.".

"I'm not-".

"Name, age and job or you'll regret it.".

The boy hisses, gritting his teeth but answers.

"Choi Yu-jun. 19. Fashion Major. Now hat the fuck do you want with that?!".

"Good. Now, be honest with me. What. Did You. See?".

"When?". He spits, and Seo-yun turns around.

"When was it?". He calls.

"Last night.". Jae-yoon responds.

"Alright, Yu-jun. What did you see last night?".

Yu-jun's eyes widen.

"Are you one of them?".

"One of them? Clarify.".

He says nothing, until Seo-yun raises an eyebrow, pushing his head higher so that their eyes meet.

"I said clarify.".

"I saw shit, fine! There was, fuck, three men, I think and they-".

"Stop stalling. Tell me exactly what they did.".

Yu-jun gulps, fear flickering through his eyes briefly before he lifts his head again.

"They killed another.". He says.

"Oh? Where was it.".

"In the alley next to my apartment.".

"Alright. And do you remember the faces of those men? What did they say. I want you to describe your entire night in detail. Tell me exactly what happened.".

"Why the fuck-".

"Answer my question. We're not playing around.".

"Fine!".

Seo-yun raises an eyebrow again, and Yu-jun glares in return.

"I was coming back from school. My friends weren't there. I heard a sound in an alley and thought it was my neighbours, and then... what I told you. Is that enough?!".

"No. I want the details. Did you see their faces?".

"How would I have not? They weren't even wearing masks And then one of them ran towards me, and...".

"And then?".

"I don't remember.". He retorts, sounding just as pissed off as earlier.

Seo-yun sighs, turning around, looking exasperated.

"How did you catch him?". He asks.

"The kid was running.". Jae-yoon calls back. "One of our men caught up with him and knocked him out.".

"Alright.". Seo-yun turns back around, pushing the boy's head back up. "Look me in the eyes, Yu-jun. Your stories seem to add up. So answer me, what will you say when the police asks you?".

"How the fuck should I know?!".

"Answer me. That's not an answer.".

"I'd tell them I saw three fucking psychos kill someone and then try to kill me!".

Seo-yun scoffs, lifting his hand up threateningly.

"Try again.".

"The fuck?!".

The boy lets out a shriek as Seo-yun slaps him across the face, again, ring skidding on his cheek, a small bead of blood dropping slowly.

"Wrong. You'd tell them you saw nothing, is that clear?".

"What-".

"We wouldn't want a run-in with the law, would we?".

"I-".

"I thought so. But it's a shame you won't be cooperating, because it looks like you'll be staying here for a while.".
