another morning update <3
—It didn't seem like there was any air in the room that all of them sat in.
It was so tense that it was absolutely suffocating, and Jungkook couldn't help but squirm under the weight of the atmosphere.
Jimin was sat in front of him on the couch, leaning forwards on his knees as he sat. His hands were clasped into fists, and it was incredibly clear to Jungkook at least that he was wildly on edge.
Yoongi sat beside him. His overall body language made it seem as if he was more relaxed than Jimin was, but the way he continuously picked at the rips in his jeans was a telling sign that he was extremely anxious.
Jungkook couldn't blame them at all. He himself was silently wishing that the floor would open up and swallow him within it. Anything would be better than this. Anything would be better than Jimin's warning glances and Taehyung's questioning gaze both colliding into him at once. It was so overwhelming, it made his skin crawl.
"That's Yoongi, and I'm Jimin, since Jungkook here doesn't seem to want to introduce us." Jimin finally spoke, slicing through the thick tension with his words. He unclasped his hands, bringing them down to rest beside him.
"Jimin." Taehyung repeated the other male's name, testing out how it sounded coming from his mouth. "I'm Taehyung, nice to meet you." He had a mountain of suspicions that was only growing the longer he sat in the same room as Jungkook's acquaintances. They were both hiding it fairly well, but Taehyung had caught on to the fact that they were extremely anxious. All he had done was invite them inside, there shouldn't be anything to be worried about.
Unless they were hiding something.
They had to be. These had to be the people that Jungkook was ruining his life to keep secret. His younger friend had told him before that he 'hadn't even been the one to get his hands dirty' in regards to the bank robbery. Someone took the money, so if it wasn't Jungkook, then who?
He scanned Jimin's facial expression, trying and failing to find anything that could hint to him what the other male was thinking. Could it be him? He definitely seemed to be the one in charge out of the two male's who sat on the couch, and so if they were all involved then Jimin had to be the one who got his hands dirty.
It was an accusation that Taehyung knew was incredibly dangerous, and he slowly began to understand why Jungkook was going so far to keep it a secret.
Taehyung though, simply wanted answers. He wanted to help his younger friend, to keep him safe from whatever dangers he may be finding himself acquainted with.
"Was it you?" Taehyung's words were vague at first, mostly because he knew that blatant shock factor wasn't going to help his case at all. He watched as Jimin merely raised an eyebrow, no panic being shown yet on his features. "I know he didn't do it by himself, so was it you?"
Finally, his facade seemingly becoming strenuous to keep up, Taehyung watched a flash of panic coat Jimin's features for just a moment. He knew that Jimin knew exactly what he was talking about. Though vague, it was easy to read between the lines of his words if you knew the context.
It was even easier, if you were guilty.
"You want to elaborate?" Jimin's words were casual, but the glance he sent to Yoongi told a completely different story. Taehyung watched as he looked to Jungkook as well, his younger friend completely shrinking under Jimin's gaze. He knew then that he was completely right in his assumptions.
This was a terrifying thought, because if Jimin really was the person that Jungkook had successfully robbed a bank with - then he had to be dangerous. There was simply no way he hadn't done it before, not with the amount that was stolen.
