"yoongi, jimin and i.."
he started.
"did this together."

yoongi's pov

"nice gun."
i say, sitting comfortably on the couch.

jimin lowers it, putting it back in the holster on his waist.
"thanks, it's a glock 19, special edition."

i take my bowl of popcorn.
"they love giving new toys to the special agents, huh?"

jimin sits on the opposite couch and looks at me seriously.
"what were you doing when i came?"

"jealous?"

he scoffs.
"no."

"then?"

"curiosity, and you promised not to touch her."

"and i didn't."
i lie, and jimin raises an eyebrow.
"just a little, but nothing traumatizing, in fact, i'm proud of myself.. i've been a good boy lately."

"if you're expecting an award, you can keep waiting."

that makes me laugh a little.
"when are you gonna let me return the beating you have me in the psychiatric?"

"i remind you that beating was the one that set you free."

"you're right, your acting that day was incredible."

"i wanted to make sure the security camera caught everything, and that the stupid guard outside would hear everything in case he was interrogated, although it was useless because you killed him afterwards."

"whoops."

jimin let's out a long sigh.
"how is she?"

"stable, although after today, she'll be unstable again for some time. taehyung is outside with her?"
i ask and jimin nods.

"i supposed he'd be the most indicated to tell her."

"or you don't have the courage to tell her yourself because you know either way she's going to hate you."
i shrug.

"i don't care."

"sure."
i roll my eyes, eating my popcorn.
"the police?"

"i made sure they never find this location, the case is already cooling down, at this pace it'll be closed soon."

"they let you go faster than we expected."
i smiled.

"they have me temporary vacation, i did. months of undercover work."

"good."
i can't help but ask.
"how's her friend?"

"jihye?"
he lifts an eyebrow.
"she's recovering, the bullet didn't touch any of her vital organs. you never make mistakes when shooting, your aim is perfect so if she's alive that's because you wanted to. why?"

i shrug.
"she's someone important for y/n. i think she has lost enough already."

"you're softening, yoongi."
i smile again and don't say anything.
"what is taehyung going to tell her?"

jimin runs his hand through his hair.
"the truth."

i look at him in concern.

"well, nearly the whole truth."

"why do i feel like you want to tell her everything?"

he shakes his head.
"you're wrong."

"you don't want her to hate you, i can see it clearly."
i sigh.
"i told you that playing at having a relationship with her would have it's consequences."

"i'm perfectly fine."

i don't like being underestimated.
"you think you can lie to me?"

"i don't care what you think."

"but you care what she thinks."

he doesn't say anything. i feel the need to calm him, the least i want is for him to lose his control and tell her everything. that's the main difference between jimin and i, he can be very impulsive.
"don't worry, she'll hate us for some time, but then it'll go away. she'll get used to this life and she'll be ours, always by our side that's what you want, right?"

he stays silent again.

"relax, she won't lose her feeling for you. your mods is giving me a headache."
i offer him my bowl.
"popcorn?"

he gives me a cold look and i roll my eyes again, what a mood. suddenly, taehyung enters the room with his hurt expression that annoys me. am i the only one that can manage this situation objectively?

jimin quickly stands up.
"what happened?"

taehyung shakes his head.
"she slapped me and ran away."

jimin's eyes widen.
"and you let her?"

whatever y/n said to taehyung left him incredibly hurt. he hits the wall in frustration.
"shit!"

"we need to go after her."

i shake off the salt of the popcorn from my hands and stand up.
"let's go."

jimin and i walk to the door but taehyung stays behind.
"please don't hurt her.."

i laugh.
"don't tell me what to do."

did he really just say that? if i wanted to hurt her i would've already done it, i've had her for myself all this time.

we step out of the house and in the distance we can see her running away. if only she knew how much we enjoy hunting and catching her, she wouldn't understand.

i look at jimin and we smile like two fools.
time to catch you, red princess.
