Midnight Blues

Pay Day Pt.2

Jungkook was sweating internally and externally. The game wasn't look good for him but he was too determined to quit. He looked over at I.M, who had his eyes glued to him. "Shit", he said under his breath. I.M. leaned forward onto the table, "Jungkook, it would be smarter and safer for you to just give me the money you have now and we can quit this game before it gets sad for you." The man said with a smirk on his lips. 

Jungkook knew that I.M, was right but his ego wasn't going to let him do that, so he laughed. "You know I don't give up I.M., so continue." I.M. shook his head in disbelief and waved for the game to continue and just as they all expected, Jungkook lost all of his money to one of the other men at the table. He swallowed hard then rubbed his wrist across his forehead before looking at his main opponent. 

"Listen, I can pay you I.M.. I just wanted to enjoy my time at the casino too. Shit, you have already stolen over half of it, so I don't even owe you as much as before." I.M. smirked as he stood up and moved around the table to stand in front of the younger. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you owe me my money and you lost it. The only thing I know is that your time is up."

The was a click sound then Jungkook looked down to see I.M.'s gun pointed at his stomach. He moved to grab his gun but the man pressed his gun into his stomach. "I wouldn't do that. Turn around and head to the back alley exit." Jungkook's eyes franticly looked around the casino. Namjoon was busy making drinks and Taehyung and Jimin were in the middle of their own game. There backs were facing him so he knows they have no clue as to what is going on at his table.  "Fine." Jungkook swallowed hard again then turned to make his way towards the back exit.

Jimin and Taehyung were on a winning streak and Jimin had a feeling it was because Taehyung may have been fucking with the minds of the players. He knew his friend well and some of the moves of the other players were suspicious for someone that wanted to win the gave. It was almost as if they were handing the game over to Tae.

Once the game was over and Tae had collected all the money owed to him, they turned to go towards the bar. Jimin scanned the place and didn't see Jungkook. He wondered if he had left. Deep down, he hoped not. "You guys want another drink?" Namjoon asked as they approached the bar, drawing Jimin's attention to him. "I'm fine. Did Jungkook leave?" he asked as he sat down. 

Namjoon frowned and looked behind them, "No. He wouldn't leave without telling me." Namjoon's eyes widened when he noticed that I.M. was also missing. "Shit," he pulled his phone out and called his brother but he didn't answer. Jimin noticed the man's panic, "What's wrong?" his eyes watched every movement just in case Namjoon tried to lie. "Jungkook had some business he needed to take care of with someone dangerous. He's not here and neither is the guy." 

"What guy?" Tae asked as he looked around the casino. Namjoon sighed, "This isn't something for you guys to get into..."

"Just tell us." Jimin interrupted him and Tae stood up as his bestie did the same. Namjoon stared at the mean that were staring back at him, waiting on him to speak. "I.M." Taehyung raised an eyebrow then looked at Jimin. "Try to sniff him out" He heard Tae say to him in his head. Jimin nodded then walked off a bit as he began to let himself take in the smell of his surroundings. Of course, he played it cool. There was no need to be sniffing around like a dog, because he was definitely not one. 

Taehyung looked at Namjoon and smiled, "We'll help your brother, okay? So go back to bartending and everything will be fine. I promise." Namjoon seemed to be in a trance as a small grin appeared on his face. He didn't know why the two men would help him and his brother out but he was thankful. "Drinks on me when you come back. I owe you." The dimples in his cheeks were out and proud and Tae cleared his throat from the flutter that he got from their presence.

Jimin walked back over to Tae and tapped his arm before they both left out the back exit doors. What they saw when they go out there, almost caused Jimin to let his fangs out but Tae grabbed his arm as they approached the men. They had Jungkook pinned down, who was still trying to fight against them. He looked like he had been doing pretty well until then because some of I.M.'s men were holding their sides and more. 

"What's going on, I.M.?" Taehyung said with a curious tone as he stepped in front of Jimin, who was fuming. I.M. passed them a smile, "This brat owes me money. I gave him time to give it back and now his time is up. Don't get involved, Taehyung." Jungkook looked at them as he spit blood out towards I.M.'s feet. One of his men, instantly, kicked him in the ribs. "How much?" Jimin said as he stepped from behind Tae. 

He could feel Tae eyeing him but he didn't care. He wasn't going to let them beat this man to death. Even though he and Kook were nothing, he still didn't want to see the man get beat up or possibly killed. I.M. smirked then looked down at Jungkook before squatting down closer to him. He leaned in slowly then pulled his gun from his pocket to place it against the beaten man's cheek. 

"Aw, looks like you made a friend. That's ironically hilarious." Jimin and Tae bold looked at him in confusion. "Whatever he owes, I have it. Let him go, now." Jimin said again but with a deeper authoritative tone. I.M. stood up and stared at Jimin then laughed as he put his gun away, "Because this is so hilarious to me, I will allow it. Let him up, but try anything and you die." He says and glares down at Jungkook once before walking over to the two friends.

"Let's talk. I want my money now. I can't say that I am not surprised but this isn't something I'd suspect from a friend of yours, Tae." I.M. looked from Jimin to Tae with more of a serious expression on his face. "What the hell are you talking about I.M.? Come with me after the casino and I will pay you." Tae said, surprising Jimin who looked at him with wide eyes. "It's fine." Tae said to him in his mind. 

"I suppose you two don't know that pretty boy over there is a hunter?" Jimin and Tae's mouth fall open and Tae immediately frowned as he turned to his friend. "Are you fucking kidding me? Please say you didn't know this? I mean I know you said..." Tae paused then turned back to I.M. with suspicion. "I've never seen him come through my shop and it's the only weapons shop for miles. Don't fuck with us, I.M." He stared at the man with an eyebrow raised. 

The man chuckled then shook his head, "Now why would I lie about something like this to my own kind." He lowered his voice more at the last part. Jimin was still in shock so he didn't say a word as he stared at Jungkook, who was brushing his suit off. This handsome, sweet smelling, man was a hunter. Jimin swear he had the worse luck in the world.

"Jimin!" His eyes snapped up to Tae's, "Yeah?" I.M. smirked, "Be careful beautiful. I can see it in your eyes but that tree isn't the safest for you." Jimin frowned then only spoke to Tae "Can we go? I'm getting a headache." Tae agreed as he also stated the the same. Tonight was beginning to be too much. "I.M. meet me outside my apartment building, yeah?" Tae said before he and his bestie left the casino.

Jungkook watched everyone leave him in the alley without a word. He was so confused and frustrated. He hoped that Jimin would, at least, speak to him but he didn't. He wanted to know why and decided to find out as soon as he saw him again.
