“Let me get this straight,” Taehyung said. “You’re sending me to the jail that no one can break out of to look for five people, who I don’t even know, and break out with them. The jail you lot saved me from going to in the first place.”

Jungkook nodded. “Yup. That’s right.”

Taehyung blinked as he stared at the other man. Obvious annoyance showed on his face and he wasn’t trying to hide it. “I fail to see the logic in this. First of all, I don’t even know their names. How would I even find them? And second of all, that jail is impossible to break out of. How am I supposed to pull this off?”

“Actually, we know the name of one of them,” Hoseok chimed in. He was sitting on the couch with Jimin watching the daily drama. “He was in the news. Kwon Soonyoung. I think Seungcheol called him Hoshi. He was the one that got arrested for the research center collapse thing.”

“Perfect then,” Jungkook remarked. “Find this Hoshi and you’ll find the other four. As for breaking out, we can’t do anything for you while you’re in so we’ll figure something out when you do get out.”

“Jungkook, I don’t think you’re hearing me.” Taehyung’s hands were beginning to ball into fists. He was so close to wanting to punch Jungkook to get his point across since the other obviously wasn’t listening. “That jail is inescapable. There’s no possible way this would work. How am I supposed to break out?”

“You’ll have to find that out for yourself.”

“You’re joking.”

“I’m not. The only advice I can think to give you is to utilize Seungcheol’s members. Figure out their powers and use them to your advantage.”

“This is ridiculous. This is your plan and you didn’t think the whole thing through?”

“How am I supposed to figure out a plan to break out of the jail if I’ve never been there?”

Jimin sighed, got up from his place on the couch, and pulled the two of them apart when he noticed the rising tension between the two of them. Taehyung looked just about ready to kill someone. “All right. Relax you two or you’ll kill each other. Tae, listen, we never plan our whole plans out with each other to avoid getting caught. If every one of us knows every plan and every detail, they’d be able to catch us and it’d be the end of the League. Jungkook only comes up with the basic plan and then everything else after is up to us individually.”

Taehyung huffed and folded his arms. “Fine. But how am I supposed to be able to do this? Are you sure I’m the right person for this?” 

Jungkook nodded. “You are. Jimin and Hoseok hyung wouldn’t be any good in there because their demons would wanna just eat everyone. Yoongi hyung has something he’s trying to protect away from his father and I doubt he’d even make it into the jail because of him. He’d probably stay trapped in the police station forever or end up burning the entire place to the ground before we’re ready to do that part of the plan. Namjoon hyung is our secret member, and as for me, I don’t think I’d be able to do it with my power. The jail has some kind of power hierarchy, mine isn’t as deadly as yours. Well, in their view, my power wouldn’t be deadly. It’s plenty deadly.”
