Erroneous [Vminkook]

28: Travel Things

The ride to Busan was nothing like how Jimin anticipated it too be.

After giving Jungkook a little prep talk and easing down Karma's fit this morning, he expected for the two to give each other the cold shoulder while being in this small space of the car for who knows how long. However the complete opposite happened; the two were entirely back to being their usual somewhat professional.

As though whatever happened that morning didn't happen.

They discussed with each other in a formal manner about the plan and would listen if they had any questions like usual, relieving Jimin since he was afraid he might've had to break a fight all over again.

We'll go be fair, Karma was more collected than usual. He spoke softer and listened more, unlike his usual impulsive drive. He seemed more in professional mode than usual, so whatever happened this morning must've made him get his composure together.

So the whole ride was calm, all the way until they arrived to Karma penthouse suite in his own hotel here in the heart of Busan.

Busan has been conquered by Aurous for years in the dark world, with the Shadow mafia desperate to always gain some part of the land since it's easy to trade routes abroad. They have tried, pathetically. However Karma is not one to mess with, obviously. He's very bright when it comes to strategy and business, so he makes sure to keep everything in check even with his eyes closed. Doesn't mean a few little rats don't scatter here and there.

He just eliminates them and call it a day.

Upon arriving to the large suite to the top floor, it didn't take long for Jimin to find the room with the large bed dressed in red duvet and slump down on it, barely paying attention to any of his surroundings. His eyes fall heavy as he hears the sound of feet paddling the floor around him, moving around calmly but with an unease tension in the air.

Whatever it was, Jimin is not going to deal with it.

"This is it? Just a bathroom and a closet? Is there another bedroom?"

Jungkook hoarse voice echoes the large open space, and Jimin peels his eyes open and sits up. His mouth dried with that need for a damn cigarette, so he digs into his pocket and pulls out his packet - gift from Karma - and waves it up at the masked man; Who's opening the curtains of the large wall window in the living room, revealing the view of the city from up above.

Karma glances at the cigarette pack being waved from the large opening of the bedroom to the living room and looks at Jimin, shrugging, "Go for it, for all I care ," He mutters and continues to slide the curtains.

Jimin rolls his eyes but happily takes out the cigarettes and lights it up, taking a deep inhale to let the nicotine make home in his lungs before heavily exhaling, relaxing his whole body down from his slight anxiety by being in the car for too long.

Jungkook suddenly emerges from the bathroom, blazer gone with the first few buttons unclipped and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and scanning through a folder, "We should check out the area tomorrow. The meeting is in five days, giving us enough time to go to the Ruby club and look around."

Jimin exhales another puff of smoke, feline eyes staring at Jungkook with eyes roaming down his silhouette indifferently, "Am I going to be the special dancer again?"

The ravenette turns to Jimin, noticing him eyeing his arms and legs, before he closes the folder and he approaches him.

Jimin tries not to twitch a smirk as Jungkook sets the folder down and suddenly grabs his neck from behind and yanks him forward.

And he grimaces, "Gotta play the part, right?"

Jimin takes a long inhale of his cigarette, keeping his dark eyes gazing at Jungkook's snarky ones as he subconsciously stares at Jimin's plump lips around the cigarette and then Jimin exhales on his face, "Of course, my ravenette."

A slow smirk forms Jungkook's lips as he slowly runs his tongue over them to Jimin's little nickname, sending a strong shiver to quiver down Jimin's spine.

The little playfulness faded, now surrounding this dark wave of a new founding tension between them. They have been on calmer waters after last night, and it seems as though they needed that moment to happen in order for them to get on more comfortable grounds around each other.

You could say they're perhaps more teasing, but they new better than to cross anymore boundaries.

At least, Jungkook knew that.

At this very moment though, Jimin wanted nothing more but to have their lips come together like how it did last night, going further to devouring one another under these sheets for who knows how long.

However, Jimin knew better. Last night was just a kiss to prove something, a message Jungkook wanted Jimin to understand. There's multiple barriers between them, who the fuck knows why, but Jimin respects those barriers as much as Jungkook respects him.

So that's why he leans away from Jungkook's hand from his neck, his grin too teasing as he brings the cigarette to his lips, "Better get comfortable my ravenette, it seems as though...... The three of us are going to be sharing this bed," He moves his face closer to Jungkook's, who's still leaning down towards him, "And I like to sleep with no clothes on."

A pillow suddenly slams against his face, clearly catch him off guard as the cigarette crushes against it, removing it's burn. Jimin groans and rubs his cheek, looking up to Karma who threw the pillow at home.

The masked man looks at the two with glasses of bourbon in hand, "Stop being a tease, before I end up kicking you two out before we even get to settle in."

Jimin chuckles humorlessly as he takes the glass of bourbon, watching as Jungkook takes it as well and Karma takes his own glass, "Shall we make a toast to our alliance?"

"A whore, an agent and a mafia leader," Jimin snorts with a giggle, raising his glass up, "We are definitely the dream team."

Something inside Taehyung twitches a frown to this, not really liking the fact that Jimin refers himself as a whore.

But he swallows it down before it had a chance to come out of his lips.

Jungkook rolls his eyes, his own glass up, "I want us to make an oath," He says slowly, making both eyes stare at him intently, "Since we are in this contract together, loyalty is important to me," He looks up to glance at the two, "As long as we are connected to this contract, we have to work together to stick to our end. We have one motive and that's getting Min Yoongi and then we'll discuss what happens afterwards. I hate a liar, I also hate commitment, so we look after one another, listen and communicate and get the job done, almost like a disoriented married couple. If we want results, we must be able to know that we can trust each other. Not even for our own good, but in order to get what we want; Freedom, control.... My gem.... So from now on I will vow to put my trust on both of you, and if you let me down, trust me a damn police report won't be the only thing fucking up with your lives."

The two males stare at Jungkook with a glimpse of understanding to his words, being able to say exactly what were running through all of their heads. This is something they all have to do, for their own personal reasons, and if they want to be able to walk away the next day and be closer to their goal, they have to trust one another and get the job done. There's no room for mistakes, only perfection.

So that's what edged Karma to raise his glass as well, "Nothing like a little prep talk before going hell."

Jimin snickers amusingly, "Oh we're already in hell," And the three clinks their glasses together.

And in hell together they go.
