JIMIN

I was pacing around the room, waving the little crappy mirror Tae gave me.  I got out the shower twenty minutes ago and since then I keep finding dried paint in my hair.

I was angry, and the boys didn't help me much.

''You are so hot in pink, Min Min. It suits you.'' Taehyung and Jungkook were shaking from laughing, as they high fived each other. As if they didn't do it since the moment of collision. Especially Tae.

''I wrote you both down, I'm telling you.'' I warned and looked at the mirror. Who does she thinks she is? To make a fool out of me in front of everyone. Not only that, but in pink. Wasn't there black or something cool? A pink.

''Í will destroy her.''

''No you won't.''

''Who are you to tell me , huh? Tell me, who are you!''

''You told me not to tell you, you hypocrite.'' Tae winked, while Namjoon bit his lips, puffing his cheeks to stop himself from laughing, and shook his head. I glared at Tae. ''I am her friend, your brother.''

''Holy shit.'' Jungkook gasped. '' Is she the hot girl you didn't want to show us?''

''I never said she was hot!''

''Well, i'm saying it.'' The youngest idiot bit his lip piercing.

''She is my enemy!'' I growled.

''Oh, stop it, you drama queen.'' Jin said in his ''mature'' way. Jin was here? ''From the very beginning . Yoongi is here too.'' 'He pointed at Yoongi who was peacefully sleeping on the couch. His mint hair carelessly falling over his eyes. I envy him for sleeping this peaceful in such a circus. ''Me too''

''Jin, what the fuck? What are you? A witch?''

''I wish. You were thinking out loud. Again.''

''You-''

''You two, stop. We have work to do.'' I was rudely interrupted by Hobi. ''We have group meeting at Vesta and you better be there on time. ''

''If you are not on time, like the  last time,'' Namjoon started and looked at Tae who was studying the ceiling. '' we will be in big trouble. Plus we have some serious business to talk about. Yes, Tae, it's more important than any other. Why is it always you, man?'' Tae smiled awkwardly and mouthed ''got ya''. Really, why is it always him?

''I'm afraid I won't be able to attend. They forced me to partner up with a rookie who, man, doesn't look like one at all. I have to look after her.''

''Good for you, Kook. They trust you.'' Namjoon said like a proud father.

''Trust me, my ass. I am the youngest, of course I'll be with her and not with you.''

''That doesn't matter. You are playing very important part, don't  forget it. Youngest or oldest, you are you, I will say very old cliché, but you are you and that is your power.''

''Namjoon is right. Look at me, I am the oldest but I am living my best life. Most of the time I pretend that I am the youngest and it feels great.'' Jin said and laughed. I cupped my face and started laughing too. Hobi too. The others too. Even Yoongi who was wide awake.

''I didn't mean that, but okay.'' Namjoon surrendered too.

''The truck crashed on an Italian highway. The stock is scattered everywhere. Do you know what that means? Millions of dollars are slipping through our hands. We lose them fast and the police is faster ,it's only a matter of time before they show up and investigate.'' The boss spoke through the speaker. We had never seen his face. Everybody was here because of their family and its connections. It was a promise. Obligation.

''They have no chance in finding out about us. It's about 99 percent impossible.'' Yoongi said and I nodded to him.

''They will never find out, but what I am saying is we have a chance to save the material. Joon, call our people in Italy, let them take care of it. To transport it in the most careful and safe way possible.''

''I'll get to it right away.'' Namjoon said and pulled the old phone he was carrying around. Only they could not be tracked by the police.

''What will happen if the police show up before us?'' Tae asked and leaned against his chair.

''They won't. The nearest police station is about 100 km from there. As far as I can see the news hasn't been delivered yet. So, they won't. But if by any chance they do, you heard him. Millions of dollars..'' Spreading my arms in a sign of explosion, I quietly whispered 'boom'. ''..are gone.''

Namjoon had returned. He had that winning smile of his. ''Everything is in our hands, don't worry. Less than an hour is needed for the mess. And according to my calculations, that is how long it will take the police to get there. From the moment of discovery, of course.'' And if Namjoon was sure of the work, then everything is under control.

''Good. That's all for today.'' The boss said and disconnected. Yoongi turned off the speaker.

''Marijuana or amphetamines?''

''All kinds.'' Tae said and burst out laughing.

''It's not funny. If anything had happened we would have been responsible.'' Hobi said, but he was laughing too.
