Peasant boy

Paying for ransom

    (Unedited)

 The warm air engulfed Namjoon as he came into the house, Taehyung setting him down and closing the door behind him.  His laughter subsided when he noticed Hoseok sat head down with a letter in his hand.  Making his way beside his older brother he sat next to him putting his hand on his shoulder.  "Hoseok what's that, why hasn't father come home yet he should have returned hours ago." Hoseok passed the letter to Namjoon, his sniffles soft but still present in the silent home. He heard footsteps and Jimin walked in tea in hand. There was a sympathetic look on his face. Namjoon looked down and read the letter by the end of the letter he could feel bile risings in his throat and fear at the bottom of his stomach. It read:

 Dear Kim Residence,

       You Father, Si-hyuk, has quite the debt to be paid with our firm. We have given him many of     chances. Your father will be in our care until the money will be in my hands. You now owe us 5,000 dollars by the end of this month if your father is to come out alive. We wish to discuss this further with you in two nights time. Come to the bar on bridgeway at 8 PM.

-Park Jin-Young

      "Hoseok, how are we going to afford this much? I think we have 1,000 saved but that took us five years..." Namjoon's face was covered in tears for the second time that night, he felt his blood run cold as the note plummeted to the floor. He dived into his brother's arms and wailed into his chest. "Shh.. Joon it will be ok, I can start working more hours at the diner uptown. They already offered me full time we'll be ok." He softly pet Namjoon's head, calming his tears only slightly. 

  "I want to work to Hoseok, maybe I can tutor the little kids in the neighborhood?" Hoseok smiled down at his younger brother. He slowly fell asleep rested in his brother's arms. 

----------------------Meanwhile.

    'Seokjin! How could you say that about him? Why do you have to be so rude to everyone all the time! It's no wonder women only want you for your money. Otherwise, you would be forced to realize that the only person who genuinely cares about you is your self!" Jungkook felt the hard punch hit him in the mouth as soon as the last sentence came out.  He could see the flames in his older brothers eyes light up as his lip curled. 

    "Jungkook. You have no place to talk to your older brother like that. Maybe you should go calm down in your room before things escalate, I will calm him down." Jungkook turned to see Jin's best friend standing arms crossed a bored expression on his pale face. He strutted over to the two brother and gave both a firm slap to the back of the head. Jungkook let out a soft ouch while Seokjin started to yell at Yoongi. "How is hitting me supposed to calm me down you little shit! Where did you even learn to hit that hard. Jeez." Yoongi just stood there hand over mouth trying to stifle his laughter. 

     "I'm going to go lie down now, it's been a long day. Goodnight Yoongi... Jin." Jungkook felt heavy as his feet carried him up the dozens of wooden steps. A knock like echo filled the hallway with each rise of his foot. He made his way to the room he would be staying in for the next 5 months. He hoped to dream of one thing, one boy, only. As Jungkook drifted to sleep all he could see was Namjoon's beautiful smile and hear the soothing laugh that went with it.

-----------------------------

     Jungkook found himself at Namjoon's door once again, as soon as he shot out of bed, he was dressings and fixing his hair just to see the young man. He has his nicest pants and most expensive jacket on, hoping to impress Namjoon. He hesitated before knocking on the door. Was it to early? Would Namjoon still be sleeping? Oh god how he hoped that he wouldn't wake the boy. Jungkook could here soft whispers on the other side of the door before it cracked open. He could see the brown tuff of hair that he fell in love with overnight peaking out from the other side of the door.
