"You can lie to the world, but not to me." - Jin.

"- And I'm done with giving you contacts for some stupid shit, do you know pissed off Jisung, Felix and Hyunjin were when you had hired them for the kidnapping but ended up telling them not to do so? You know who they are and what they're capable of doing. They don't care if you're the youngest heir of Park Inc, they'd kill you if they want to!" Jin continued to berate with an angry face, pacing back and forth in his hall, just like he had from the very moment Jimin had stepped into the elder's house.

The one being scolded, sat with an annoyed expression on the armrest as Jin was giving him a good dose of scolding that he hadn't gotten from his parents recently. Well, Jimin was glad to have Jin do the honor, and he really isn't being sarcastic, really.

"Do you not love your dear life? Why are you trying to hire someone from Stray Kids again? They're the deadliest gangsters on the run, and yet here you are, wanting to risk yourself again," Jin paused to take a deep breath, turning to look at Jimin.

"So, do you have a reasonable explanation about why you want to hire an information collector?" He asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I want Hoseok to break up with his girlfriend. I want to find something that could make his girlfriend doubt on him and argue with him, and they end up cutting things off." That was all he told him, as if he had memorized the lines and said them aloud a million times for the sentences to come out so monotonous, and so cold.

"W-Which Hoseok? Kim Hoseok? Lee Hoseok?" Jin stuttered worriedly upon hearing his best friend's name. "Jung Hoseok." The name rolled off his tongue with so much hatred, Jin knew it was going to be bad.

"Alright, I-I'll see what I can do." Jin nodded at him, but it wasn't like he was even thinking about hiring the hacker to keep an eye on Hoseok. "No, hyung, I want you to do this. This is important." Jimin sat up straight, showing how serious he was being.

"Why though?" Jin couldn't help but ask, wondering what Hoseok could've done to him for him to hate him so much. "He's, uh, trying to ruin my relationship." He replied, looking down at his hands.

"What?" Jin blurted out, and at the sudden outburst, Jimin's expression changed from nervous and dull, to curiousness. "Why are you so surprised?" He asked, squinting his eyes at the older one, as a look of suspicion crossed his face.

"No I mean . . . why would anyone want to ruin your  relationship?" He covered it up, furrowing his brows as if he was wondering why. "I don't really know, but he needs to stop." Jimin, again lied, and stood up to leave.
