Hush Little Baby [VMinKook]

"I FUCKING HATE YOU KIM TAEHYUNG!"

Jimin screeches angrily, clutching to a more intrigued Jungkook as he stares at the wild colors before his eyes of the building glowing brightly to the night sky.

This place.

This place right here.

Is what they call the playground of Phoenix.

It's a game really, real life game, and it basically focuses on real world aspects. Since kids here grew up to no future, this place became a way for them to build a future - even if it was fake.

A place where they can use their skills to train.

"Oh come on, someone told me this place is great!" Taehyung scoffs, pushing the two men towards the entrance, "It's a perfect bonding exercise, let's go!"

Despite Jimin's complaints, they got inside to see it completely coated in neon lights. The place is neater than most places here, with just the main desk and the entrance to where the real fun begins.

But Taehyung guides them to the counter, grinning widely, "Game 1."

The guy behind the desk with the dull eyes and firing pink hair flickers his eyes to them, clearly bored out of his mind.

"Do you have two other players?"

Taehyung wraps his arms over Jimin and Jeongguk's shoulders, "Sure do!"

From there the transition was smooth with them getting three tickets, paying, and following directions through the entrance of the game.

"I can't believe you're making us do this," Jimin huffs angrily, shrugging Taehyung's arm off him while glaring at the noisy double doors they passed by, "Not an ideal place for bonding!"

Jeongguk came to a stop, making both boys turn to his clear stubborn expression.

"I want an explanation to what is this place to even begin with!"

Taehyung snickers, glancing to Jimin with a wave of his hand, "Mind doing the honors?"

Jimin sends him a dirty look back but looks at Jungkook, "This place is the training grounds for basic levels of underground surviving. You must have three players: The hacker, the dealer and the assassin. What does that mean? Well we have to work as a team to reach the goal of the game. A hacker will be like the intelligence analyst. They take in the situation and help the other two players get by. The dealer is obviously the one that deals with people and make the transition run smoothly. Then the assassin, who obviously is the one that does the dirty work."

Jeongguk blinks to this, "So we're bonding over a video game?"

"Not exactly," Jimin huffs and lets Taehyung guide them to a double door, "Because it's real."

"Huh?!"

Taehyung opens the double doors to the key number the dude gave to them, demonstrating a computer room with an empty chair. There's no one else here, and Jimin wordlessly goes to the computer chair and sits down.

"The game is based on real life scenarios, so two of us will go through that door," Jimin points to the corner door, "And complete our mission, while the other stays here and guides them around."

In shock, Jungkook looks around, "So, what's the mission?"

"Steal money from a bank."

"That's it?"

"You think it's easy?" Jimin snickers, twirling on the chair to face the computer, cracking his fingers and grasping the headsets, "Let me show you how it's done around here."

"Not so fast."

The new voice snaps all of their attention, seeing a familiar male standing by the door with arms crossed and a condescending smile on his lips.

Jimin's lips parted, "Joshua? What are you-"

"Saw you guys coming, decided to join in on the fun!" He beams, eyes twinkling as he grabs one of the chairs from the room and sets it on the large chair beside Jimin, "I know this game by heart, so I'll be here in case Jiminie needs extra muscle."

Taehyung seemed to relax a bit but Jeongguk narrowed his eyes, unsure, with this twinkle of perhaps jealous when Joshau boldly wraps his arms around Jimin's shoulders.

"Let's get this game started!"
