the next day jeongguk went to a match ground where young boys were playing football under the label of "hobi" team. a brown-haired male with slight grayish hair near his nape and ears was seen cheering for the team. the male had a quite handsome face and joyful personality despite his growing age and dirty illegal profession.

yes, it was jung hoseok, the ball of sunshine on the outside yet the cruel gangster king inside. the world could say whatever they want but the brown-haired truly loved and adored his workers a lot, especially jeongguk. he considered the younger as his son.

jeongguk went and stood beside the male, who looked at him and again averted his gaze to the game as he spoke, "i sent you to kill, not to get killed." hoseok looked at the male with a sigh who was only looking straight ahead of him without any change in his face. hoseok went near him and patted his back.

"see, gguk, i know you have no interest in living. but your life is very precious to me. god gave me you as my son, you are even more than that. stop looking for reasons to die, find a reason to live." the gangster boss patted jeongguk's one last time who just kept listening to the older male while being in deep thought.

jeongguk's trance of thoughts broke when he heard a faint, "hey, villain! villain! look at me, nah! see, if you don't come nah, i will keep yelling your name." the teal-haired male turned to see that the same blond from the previous day was standing there yelling his name as the guards were not letting him come inside. "hey, villain!" taehyung kept on calling the male who just closed his eyes before marching towards the blond who got happy as he thought the male was going to listen to his request.

jeongguk went to the younger with a clenched jaw as he grabbed taehyung's arm tightly and dragged him to the parking area and put his palm on taehyung's mouth, making him stop talking, as he pinned the blond against a car, "you have no idea what i can do to you! it won't take me minutes to get disposed of you. stop following me around and just go from here!" jeongguk warned the male with a venomous tone as his eyes darkened.

the teal-haired male let go of taehyung, who looked at the older male with his big wide eyes, but fear was nowhere to be seen. they both looked at each other for a few seconds and then, "wow! this is why i want to hire you!" taehyung excitedly said, making jeongguk look at him in disbelief. "i know you aren't the romantic kind. you are the kind of person who shoots someone at sight!" taehyung's eyes shined like pearls while saying so.

jeongguk just grabbed the male's arm and pushed him away saying, "just get lost!" with that, the gangster male started to walk away. taehyung composed himself and yet again started to follow the older.

"areeh, okay, sorry. cool down, man." taehyung was basically running due to jeongguk's walking pace and soon came in front of him as he started to walk backward so he could talk with the teal-haired male, "listen, you will kill me without any reason and then go to jail, such a waste of time! the way i am paying you, if someone had done the same to kill me, then it was worth it. but who would even want to kill me? i am so cute, right?" taehyung explained everything while being in a panting state and then made a thinking face after his last line.

jeongguk stopped in front of him and asked, "so talkative. do you have any talking disorder?" the male was clearly annoyed by the younger's acts.

"there are many disorders of mine if i start to count. but that's not the case! you tell me, will you do the work for me? please, say yes. you shouldn't refuse money," the blond made a knowing mischievous face as he talked about money. jeongguk sighed one last time before agreeing. he agreed for two reasons, one, he would get the money, and two, he would get rid of the talking machine in front of him.

the very next day, jeongguk and taehyung were seen on a small ferry as it was a waterway. on the ferry, taehyung was enjoying himself while making excited sounds and playing with a paper wind turbine made by him. soon taehyung came in front of jeongguk, who was simply standing while leaning against his jeep. "we are going on such an important mission, yet we haven't introduced each other yet. i am kim taehyung!" taehyung introduced himself and extended his hand for a shake.

jeongguk just rolled his eyes as he looked aside while muttering, "jeon jeongguk." he totally ignored the blond's forwarded hand. taehyung was highly offended by that as he pointed out.

"ahh! why are you so rude? the way supermen have to wear underwear over their costumes, similarly, is it necessary for you gangsters to be so plain and rude, huh? you don't smile or laugh. you don't even style your hair or bath properly!" taehyung could not help but make faces as he pointed out everything while jeongguk just rolled his eyes, ignoring the male in front of him.

"i know what you are! angry bird! yes! the game is really designed on you, i am telling you!" taehyung amusingly informed while motioning how the birds were thrown and burst out in the game with his fist, as the teal-haired male just shook his head being done with the younger blond.

soon they reached their destination, a mental asylum. jeongguk looked at the asylum and then again at taehyung as he asked, "you are the crazy one or the one who gotta take is the crazy one?"

taehyung smiled and replied while taking off his seatbelt, "i am not crazy! james is the crazy one! like a crazy lovesick one. this is why his family put him in the asylum. they went to america and settled there and told the doctor that james is a madman. and now if we don't help him, he truly will become one," the blond explained everything with big serious eyes, jeongguk kept looking at him as he saw taehyung fetching out something from his bag, it was a jar full of coins. "that's why, we gotta save him," saying that, he shook the jar as the coins clinked and handed the jar to the teal-haired male.

"these are just coins. . ." jeongguk was shocked to receive his payment like that, taehyung was about to say a joke and the gangster male immediately widened his eyes and accepted the payment as it was. it was better to accept the coins than to hear the blond's joke.

after that, they got down from the jeep as taehyung again started talking, "you might have to fight as well, you know. you might hurt as well! if it was dancing, i would have called some jackson, but it's action that's why i asked you, cause you are a villain!" taehyung stretched out the last word because he was trying to climb up the gate thinking it was closed but jeongguk, who just ignored his talks, pushed the gate and it opened, leading taehyung to get hung above.

"hey, hey! help me, dude! i am stuck! hey!" the blond called out for help but the older male could care less about him and just went inside, leaving taehyung to hang on the gate like a monkey.
