8.

Jungkook takes Jin to his usual street race, just some kids from the neighbourhood, driving shitty cars for fun.

But they are his friends and he believes in them more than he does anyone else. Taehyung, driving his cousin's shitty hand-me-down car that Jungkook had managed to fix up, wins his race out of sheer courage.

He steps further than his opponent, takes risks that Jungkook would have taken for foolishness if he doesn't already know that it is simple, deadly precision.

After the race, Jin makes the proposition and Taehyung stares, completely star struck and wordless. He would probably agree to sign his soul away if Jin asks for it. Jungkook makes a mental note to give him hell for it later. Jimin agrees on Taehyung's behalf.

'He'll do it, Mr Kim. But-uh-'
Jimin looks at Taehyung's car, at Jin, then at Jungkook.

'-but his car is a piece of crap'
Jungkook finishes for him. Taehyung rouses from his stupor to grunt at him in protest.

Jin smiles.

'I'll take care of that'
Jin says easily.

'And please call me Jin. My father is Mr Kim, not me'

Jungkook would laugh at his friends' expressions if he had not been just as impressed when Jin had first made the revelation. Jimin's eyes are as wide as saucers and Taehyung's mouth has dropped open.

All in the absolute admiration of the beauty in front of them.

Mercedes GTR in a brilliant shade of green.

'This-'
Jimin starts, and looks at Jin,

'-hyung-this is-'

'the most beautiful car I've ever seen'
Taehyung says in a reverent whisper.

Jin smiles joyously.

'Are you sure you want to give us this car, hyung?'
Jimin asks hesitantly

'Depends. Will you win the race?'

Taehyung laughs.

'Hyung, with this car, we'll win you any race you want'

'Excellent. Shall we go for a ride?'
Jin tosses the keys to his car to Jungkook and slips on his sunglasses.

'JK, you want to drive?'

Jungkook grins.

'Sure, hyung.'

They stream onto the road together. The blue Aston Martin and the green Mercedes. Jungkook knows they must make quite the pair, and he can see many heads turning as they head down the highway.

He glances across Jin at the other car, and through the open window he sees his friends. Taehyung's smile hasn't faded, in fact the grin seems to widen as they continue. Jimin looks over and gives him two enthusiastic thumbs up.

'JK'

He looks at Jin, who pulls off his sunglasses.

'Thank you for sharing your friends with me'

'Hyung, you bought them a car. I think they're your friends too now. Or your minions. Whichever'

Jin slides his hand over Jungkook's on the gear shift.

'I know you really care about them. And I can see how much they love you. So thank you for letting me in.'

Jungkook keeps his eyes on the road as they weave through the lanes.

'I meant it, hyung. When I said everything, I meant it'

He feels it, shift in Jin's breath, as though he was jolted.

'Pull over'

'Hyung?'

'Pull the car over, JK!'

Jungkook eases them over to the emergency lane and stops the engine.

'Jin hyung?'
He asks softly.

Jin stays silent, shoulders rising and falling with each breath. Jungkook waits.

'You know who I am?'
Jin asks, finally looking at him.

The heir to a multimillion dollar shipping company, one of the richest families on the whole continent.

Jungkook nods mutely.

'There is nothing I can't have. Everything I can ever dream of, all of it is at my fingertips'
Jin is breathing fast. Jungkook wants to tell him to take it slow, wants to take his hand and kiss away the tension. He doesn't.

'All I have to do is to do as my father wishes. Do as I'm told and I will have everything'
Jin's voice cracks.

Jungkook feels his heart sink, his whole body feels as though it is being crushed under a great weight.

'I will never be a part of your father's plans, hyung'
he whispers

'Your 'everything' doesn't include me'
He had known this when he had started. Yoongi had warned him. But he would exchange his everything for anything from Jin.

Jin closes his eyes and turns his face away.

'I can't make you choose between your family and me, hyung. How can I? They're your family'

Jin laughs without joy.

'Yoongi told me once that I should make my own family if the one I'm born to can only give me pain'
Jin tells him softly. Jungkook holds his breath. Jin opens his eyes and looks at him, there are shining trails of tears on his cheeks.

'Hyung'
Jungkook nearly chokes on the word.

'Don't cry'

'Jungkook-'
Jin reaches up, fingers brushing over his face and Jungkook feels his tears being brushed away.

'Do you love me?'

'Yes'
Jungkook breathes.

'Yes'

Jin exhales slowly.

'I-'
Seokjin says but gets stopped in between when Jungkook speaks

'You don't need to Hyung I know you don't like me and that's okay I don't want you to force yourself please don't'

'That's what every person who's ever used me said'
Seokjin chuckled

'Do you think I'm using you hyung? That's what you think about me?'
Jungkook exclaimed as there was a lump in his throat his tears threatening to flow out but he couldn't.

He couldn't cry right now

'I don't know, you tell me Jungkook'
Seokjin looked at Jungkook in that very specific way that just rubbed it in Jungkook's face that he was nothing for Seokjin, Seokjin didn't trust him, noticed Jungkook widening his eyes which were soon filled with tears

'Oh so that's what you think about me hyung? Good to know, after everything, after having so many good moments together you think I'm using you...if that's how you feel let's not talk again Mr. Kim Seokjin'
Jungkook exclaimed as he entangled himself from the seat belt going to his own path as he saw Seokjin leaving, he broke down crying.
