Heartless

{38}

Electric music vibrates through the air, everyone slick with sweat as they dance along with their partners or the attractive strangers that catch their eye the moment they walk into a place like this. It was lavish, the vibes screamed luxury and of course, seeing as Kim Seokjin designed it, it wasn't surprising that the very first night of the opening, people were lined around the block to get in.

As soon as the guards caught a glimpse of Kang Runa and her bodyguard approaching, they stepped aside and bowed their heads in respect, knowing that this was the club owner's sister. Jungkook kept close behind, a hand on her hip as she guided the way through the crowd and up the stairs to another floor.

Spotting her brother from afar along with San and Seokjin sitting next to him, both wearing the same sheer black top as the leader, she admired the taste in fashion that they had.

"Looks like your place is a hit", she compliments Jimin once she walks up to him at the bar, giving him a brief kiss on the cheek as well as Seokjin's who was awaiting that same gesture, seeing as it was his special way of greeting somebody.

"All thanks to my designer", he grins, raising his glass to clink with the male next to him who has a smug smirk on his plump lips.

"You are so very welcome Mr. Park", the man muses, winking at San who rolled his eyes and downed his drink, eyeing the group of girls giggling about him not too far from where he stood.

"That's my cue", he pats his boss' shoulder, walking towards the women, and Seokjin gags, earning a playful slap on the back from Runa who takes the consigliere's previous seat, Jungkook standing close by with his arms folded behind his back while he observed his surroundings.

"Where's Joon?", Seokjin asked, and she wanted to laugh at the disappointment on the man's face as he looked around for her underboss.

"He's a bit of a prude. He's not one to go out much and especially not to places like this. He's at home working", Runa answers, signaling the bartender to get her a drink, which she gratefully takes a sip of once the glass is slid her way.

"He's boring", her friend retorts, the look of annoyance written all over his face since he wasn't one to hide how he felt.

She knew that he was somewhat curious by the older male. That's why whenever he was around, Seokjin would talk his ear off while Namjoon just smiled and nodded along to whatever nonsense was coming out of his mouth.

"He prefers to be relaxed. He doesn't love chaos like you do, Kim", she responds, glancing at her brother to take in his full appearance.

His silver hair was damp, styled to fall above his eyes and his dangling sword earring added to his appeal. Not to mention the sheer shirt showing everything underneath, such as his well-defined muscles.

"Congratulations, Jimin", she looks around at the people drinking and chatting as most of them dance on the floor below, "It's a work of art."

Admiring the ceiling light fixtures that were a stunning shade of purple, he hums in response with a pleased look on his face, "I'm glad you came. I wanted to celebrate with you."

Turning in his direction, she watches him pour three shots of Tequila, handing one to Seokjin and her which she takes. They raise their glasses and wait for his toast.

"To family", they all clink glasses and down their shots, enjoying the burn tickling down their throats from the strong alcohol.

In an instant, she turned to see her bodyguard admiring her legs that were adorned in fishnets, and she didn't bother hiding the grin on her face. Once grabbing the full bottle of Tequila, she pours one more shot and spaces out her brother and Seokjin's conversation as she hops off the stool and approaches Jungkook. He immediately removes his eyes from her body and looks at the mischief painting her gorgeous face, her hand lifted to show him the shot of liquor.
