It has only been a couple of days since Yoongi moved into his new apartment after being kicked out and disowned by his own family for loving the same gender and not choosing to follow in his family's footsteps in the medical field. Instead, he decided to pursue his dream of becoming a producer. But without the support of his family, Yoongi needed to provide for himself, and because he had just graduated from high school and was just starting college, he needed a way to pay for his bills and school. After being found out that he was gay, his parents wholly disowned him, and if it weren't for the couple of things that he had heard that night he and Jimin broke up, he would probably starve out in the streets.

He had heard a conversation of unfamiliar voices the night that he and Jimin broke up. Yoongi could still remember every word of that conversation, and even though he knew all of the risks, he still took it. He went to the most dangerous part of the city to see if he could get a living space and even a job that could provide his bills, food, other necessities, and school.

It took him a while, but he finally found a living space that was just right on his budget. This meant that Yoongi would have to live with the fact that the reason why he was able to get his apartment was that the previous tenant was murdered, and everything else in the room needed to be renovated and replaced. Still, Yoongi is glad to have a roof over his head; he just needs to find a job to feed himself and fund his schooling.

Living in the most dangerous part of town and looking for a job is a death wish to most people. All of the jobs that people can get in this part of the city are considered illegal. Because the whole town is filled with criminals, most authorities don't have the guts to respond to any emergency calls because they all know that once they get to the location, they are either going to see bodies on the floor, or they are the ones that are going to get killed and never come back.

Looking for jobs outside of town would be too much of a hassle because of all the requirements, and most work opportunities are too far from his home. So, Yoongi has no choice but to look for a high-paying job in his town. Lucky for him, a neighbor from the apartment building he lives in suggested that he should be a 'dealer.' At first, Yoongi was hesitant because he didn't want to get involved with drugs. Still, his neighbor explained that his only job would be delivering, and not just drugs but other valuable items and information.

The job itself has a lot of risks, but hearing that he can make a lot of money just by delivering one piece of USB or an envelope, or even just a diamond ring encased in a glass box, he can make fifty times the profit that he would have made by being a cashier at a cafe right next to the school campus in just about a month worth of deals with different clients.

But because Yoongi is short in money, he keeps pausing his schooling because he needs to work and earn a lot of money first, enough to get him out of this garbage of a town and move to a much nicer and safer place community near the school campus. It has been more than six months since Yoongi last stepped foot at school, but he doesn't have any other choice. If he doesn't work for all the things he wants to achieve and accomplish in life, who will do it for him?
