Lies My Hyung Told Me. [Mafia M.YG]

Lies My Hyung Told Me {Part 2}

Yoongi stepped into the building with York and the man gestured for him to sit down on one of the couches.

"So, what? You finally ditch that boy band or whatever? I can't imagine why you'd need money, Yoong-ssi."

Yoongi explained that he hadn't left the band and why he needed the money. York didn't seem all that happy. "So you're just here to use me for cash and then dip again, just like you did seven years ago, that's what you're telling me?" York said harshly. Yoongi stared at him for a second unsure of what to say. Technically York wasn't wrong, but he would have worded it more like 'stopping by for a favor'. York continued, "And if I help you make money, what's in it for me?"

Yoongi froze. He didn't really know. "My uh...my gratitude? And I know a lot of people these days, I could get you references or something which could lead you to a higher status." Yoongi was just bullshitting. He didn't actually know anyone who would team up with York aside from himself.

York's face lit up. "I have an even better idea! One of your bandmates!"

"What?" Yoongi felt his face flush. He didn't want his bandmates to have anything to do with any of this. York continued, "A trade. I help you, you give me one of your bandmates. Imagine the profit I could make off one of them. Who do you think would be worth the most money?" York chuckled.

Yoongi felt his heart sink to the pit of his stomach. He started to realize this was a mistake. Any reference of his members within this kind of scenario was more than enough for him to call it quits. He stood up from the couch to leave, realizing he'd have to figure something else out. "Actually, nevermind. I'm not doing that. You can't have any of them and I can see you're still somewhat crazy if you even think that. I have to get home before they wake up anyway. Nice seeing you I guess."

York grabbed him as he headed for the door. "Wait! I was kidding. All in good fun, Yoongs. Honestly...I could use your help."

This piqued Yoongi's interest again. "So you promise to leave my members out of this?" That was his biggest concern but he trusted York. York had never given him any reason not to.

York said he promised. The two sat down and York started discussing how Yoongi could help him out in the streets of Seoul. He had a few employees currently working out of the city that he could set Yoongi up with. Yoongi explained his hectic schedule and they set up for him to simply work the nights on weekends he had off from his busy lifestyle. Yoongi figured he should be able to pull that off, he'd just have to sneak out at night while the rest of the guys went to bed, and make it back before they woke up. Simple enough in his eyes.

They finished their meeting on good terms and Yoongi headed back home. Thankfully he still had plenty of time to make it back before the others would be waking up. When he got back to the dorm he felt somewhat proud of himself for what he'd done. He was helping his company, and his members. It was only a short-term gig and once he had enough money he could go back to living his normal life again.

The next morning was rough. He was exhausted. They had to be at practice early and he was keeping himself alive with coffee. The members were a bit concerned, asking him if he was feeling alright but he claimed to not have slept well, which wasn't entirely a lie.

After a few weeks, BigHit started receiving large amounts of money anonymously. Nobody knew where it was coming from but the money was clearly addressed to the company. The members and staff were confused but grateful. They started speculating about who the money was coming from but couldn't figure it out. Yoongi would try to hide his smile anytime they discussed it. Things were going well. He was working hard on the weekends and the money was coming in. He used caffeine to fight his exhaustion and on the weekends claimed he was only so tired because he was recuperating from the week's work.

Everything was going great, until one night Jungkook happened to still be awake when he heard someone walking around the dorm after everyone had gone to bed. He was having trouble sleeping that night and heard keys rattling in the kitchen. He opened the door to the bedroom and peeked through it to see Yoongi putting his shoes on and heading out the door. Where is he going? Yoongi was gone before Jungkook had the chance to ask.

The next morning Jungkook still couldn't help but wonder where his hyung had snuck off to so late at night and why he hadn't mentioned it. He could see Yoongi's exhaustion and noticed it was the same exhaustion his hyung always had on the weekends. He was one curious maknae and wondered if maybe last night wasn't the only night Yoongi had snuck out, but wondered if he had been doing it for weeks now. He kept it to himself because he didn't want to start drama in the house and knew if Yoongi was keeping secrets it had to be for a good reason.  

The day carried on like any other, but Jungkook couldn't help but remain curious.

Nighttime came quickly for Yoongi, just like it always seemed to lately.

He was in the bathroom getting ready to head out for his weekend duties. The members had gone to bed about an hour ago, he liked to wait a while to make sure they had time to actually fall asleep. He walked out of the bathroom and panicked when he saw the kitchen light on. Who the hell is awake? I need to leave!

He ran back into the bathroom and locked himself in it hoping whoever was awake would quickly go back to bed. Someone knocked on the door.

"I have to pee."

It was Jungkook.

Yoongi hesitantly walked out and the two eyed eachother in passing. He went into the kitchen and Jungkook quickly came back out and sat at the counter.

"What are you doing?" Yoongi asked impatiently. He really needed Jungkook to go back to bed.

"I couldn't sleep."

"Well you need to try."

"Then so do you," Jungkook spat back.

"I'm not tired."

"You're always tired lately."

Yoongi didn't quite know how to respond to that. He hated that Jungkook was hyper-aware of everything all the time when it came to his hyungs.

Jungkook saw Yoongi anxiously staring at the time on his phone. 

"You should really try to get some sleep," was all Yoongi could come up with. Jungkook could hear the desperation in his hyungs voice.

"Can I ask you something first?"

"Sure," Yoongi shrugged. Just ask your question and then go back to bed!

Jungkook was a bit nervous about asking.

"Where do you always sneak off to at night?"
