Twilight of Itaewon | Taekook ✔

47. The Amethyst

" It's open. Hyung, it's open. "

Yeonjun whisper shouted. His breathing was fast and his heart felt like it would stop beating. He put a hand on his mouth to control the excitement. Jeongguk glared at him to make the younger's screaming stop. Yeonjun enacted a zip-close move and concentrated on the file in front of him. Finally, the file opened. Yeonjun and Jeongguk were impatient. As the elder flipped it open, they held their breath in their hands.

There were some papers inside, clipped together. The first paper was a violin detail, probably when he got it. The next page was V's experience as a violin artist and license to teach violin. The third page was some music notes, looks like V's favorite violin notes. Jeongguk and Yeonjun looked at each other, eyes desperate and almost teary.

The page flipped and there were some checks pinned in the name of Jae and V. There were some receipts and invoices. Medical check-up report of Jae. That's it. That's the frickity Frick it is. Jeongguk slammed the file in frustration. This- this is not what he was expecting. This is not what he wanted to see in there. He pulled his hair in desperation and annoyance. Yeonjun wasn't any better. He was broken to know the file contains nothing special or suspicious in it. They shouldn't have expected a lot. They shouldn't have doubt everything and everyone. Jeongguk stood up and looked at Yeonjun. The other was already looking at him with sad eyes. They left the room in silence.

Walking outside, Jeongguk turned to say something to Yeonjun when Jae stopped them. The male looked at him dumbfounded. He was puzzled to see the two in front of V's bedroom. Jeongguk raised an eyebrow that made Jae break the silence.

"What are you two doing here?"

Yeonjun wanted to gulp at the intimidating tone Jae has. But he pushed it aside. Something there in his head itching him and he wanted to let that out, like right now. And only to his senior. He stood silent behind Jeongguk. The officer replied on behalf of the two.

"Yeonjun hide in the hallways and got lost. I just found him here."

Oh, what a believable lie. Since it's Yeonjun, it didn't take a lot of time for Jae to believe it. The younger smiled sheepishly. They walked outside, Jae in front of Yeonjun and Jeongguk. They stopped the game because of tiredness. There was a tension between Jeongguk and Yeonjun that reflects in the surroundings. They sat in silence, looking at the void in front of him. That was when Uncle San came to call them, breaking the thick silence between them. 

"Does anyone wants to go out shopping?"

He asked. Some glances passed. It was Jeongguk who stood up and said.

"Yeah, I'm in. I want to go buy some stuff."

Uncle San nodded as Jeongguk gazed slowly at Yeonjun. The blue-haired assistant got the hint and stood up too. Jeongguk left a relieved sigh.

"I will accompany you, hyung. I've things to buy too"

As Yeonjun said, they all looked at him puzzled. Soobin raised an eyebrow. His boyfriend has things to buy that he doesn't know. That's not a good hint.

"Junie, what do you have to buy here?"

Soobin asked. Yeonjun on the other hand gulped. He can't lie to his boyfriend, Neither he can tell the truth. He glanced at Jeongguk and the other stood with a helpless expression. A small smug smile lingered on Yeonjun's lips though he knows this is going to be the worst. But he couldn't think of something better. So, he just---

"Some toys..."

God, that was embarrassing. Soobin smacked Yeonjun's arms for saying something stupid. The red creeping from his neck to ear tip. Yeonjun smiled sheepishly and found Jeongguk facepalming at his words. Jae and V were giggling at the interaction.
