13. Violence disseminated

"We could be an easy target here."

"but if we leave, the others are going to suspect something is going on and it would affect Namjoon's credibility" Jimin informs, interrupting Hoseok's nervous urgency. "If we stay here, being a mass, we are unlikely to be attacked."

"It would be a matter of staying inside the campus at all times" mutters Jungkook thoughtfully. "And we're particularly good at that."

"I'll call a courier to buy me whatever we need" Jimin announces and Wooyoung scrunches up his face. "I don't want anything to happen to you. Everyone recognizes you. Who knows if they'll do something to you." he pouts, giving his hand a loving squeeze.

"O-oh..."

Yoongi laughs lightly, the almost brotherly relationship between Wooyoung and Jimin is so adorable at times. He looks at the newspaper again. A long announcement about the deaths that have happened across the country, involving, finally, the presence of a cult with no apparent motive yet. He wonders why it took the reporters so long to mention it. People's morbid curiosity will make them want to know about it, it's impossible not to.

"In good news" announces Taehyung leaving the tea cups on the table. Being that this time and as it happens rarely, they gather in their room. "My family will ask the police to supervise and guard the university."

"How did you accomplish that?" asks Yoongi with a squint.

"By paying, obviously."

"Ah."

"You want me to pay for a new suit? It'll be beautiful. And you'd wear it when you play at my grandmother's birthday."

Yoongi throws up his hands At what point did he say he would do that? Jimin laughs, almost spilling the tea and Hoseok falls off the chair. Jungkook wrinkles his nose, what a straightforward move on his part. Taehyung calmly and happily sips his drink. His grandmother is going to love Yoongi's playing. He must get him there no matter what.

"From what I understand, the Brownbear family has already asked for police assistance around the university," Jin comments. "Not just them, but many of the families who have recently arrived."

"I want this place as guarded as humanly possible" Namjoon informs and Jin nods. "I will also make an announcement to suspend classes to encourage something to happen. It can't go on like this."

"Nam-"

"They are killing students more than any other kind of people. If there is no pressure, there will be no seriousness to this issue."

Jin exhales, the problem with Namjoon coming out of his relaxed state, that sort of zen phase, is that he becomes extreme and irritable. He pours him a whiskey. The healthiest thing for the world itself is to have him drunk and complacent. Otherwise, who knows if he'll conquer a country all by himself.

"I'll have a single class today, I thought we could go study" Jimin proposes swaying on his feet. "Be waiting for you there and well, maybe it'll be fun" he announces with a smile, Jungkook nods submissively. "Ah! And there comes to my room an order I placed. You're running out of clothes" he comments shaking dust off his shoulder. "You must look perfect and spotless."

"Th-thank you."

"You're welcome honey." Jimin reciprocates sweetly and Jungkook sighs dumbfounded, watching him leave.

He still can't believe that Jimin is so affectionate to him. It's the first time he doesn't feel humiliated by people giving him clothes. Jimin does it with the best of intentions and knows the measure with which to do it. He packs his backpack and heads to his living room, still fantasizing about the fact that maybe Jimin is in love with him.
