“Jimin, who is Seojoon?” Taehyung asked nonchalantly when he and the older were watching a movie together one evening.

“Um, how do you know about him?” Jimin looked at him with a frown.

“I heard someone saying that he sent the guy that you caught,” the younger shrugged. He couldn’t say that he was with Jungkook in the basement. Not that he didn’t trust Jimin but he was still Yoongi’s boyfriend so he couldn’t take that risk, he couldn’t risk anyone knowing about him and Jungkook.

“Seojoon was in this gang when Guk’s and Namjoon’s father was the boss,” Jimin sighed, stopping the movie to talk: “When the old man died, he tried to fuck up with Jungkook.”

“Fuck up how?”

“He basically wanted to become the boss. He had no claim to the gang but he thought he was better for the position. He knew Namjoon didn’t want it and that only Jungkook was in his way. He tried to kill him,”

“What?!” Taehyung gasped, taken aback.

“Yeah, I mean we all knew he was a snake but we weren’t careful enough, thinking that he wouldn’t do anything,” Jimin sighed again at the memory: “He shot Jungkook one day in the backyard.”

“What happened next?” Taehyung asked with wide eyes. He had no idea how Jungkook got out of this alive and the knowledge that he nearly died really surprised him.

“It was bad with Guk, he was rushed to a hospital, he was unconscious for couple of days. Thankfully we could afford the best surgeons and doctors and they saved him. He was basically tied to the bed for weeks, it took a long time for him to heal,” Jimin replied grimly.

“So what happened with this Seojoon?”

“He had some supporters here in the gang, he tried to have Jungkook killed also when he was in the hospital. Those were really tough times because we had no idea who is with us and who is against so it was just basically us from the tightest circle taking our turns protecting Guk,” Jimin continued: “Thankfully he healed and came back. By that time, Seojoon and bunch of other fuckers ran away and he created his own gang. I thought they were operating in Busan but maybe they came back.”

“So you think this Seojoon wants to kill Jungkook now? That’s why he sent that guy to spy on the gang?” the younger asked quietly.

“That’s very possible,” Jimin nodded: “We don’t even know what that guy saw and what he told Seojoon before we caught him.”

“So Jungkook and you are in danger?” Taehyung peeped, feeling his chest tighten. The thought of something happening to the boss or the other guys was leaving an uneasy feeling in him.

“Don’t worry about it, Tae, we can take care of ourselves,” the older smiled at him comfortingly.

“Did you kill the guy down there?”

“Yeah, Guk sent Hobi to do it few days ago,” Jimin nodded, knowing there was no point in sugar-coating it or holding it from Taehyung. He didn’t seem like he’d mind this conversation anyway.

Jimin noticed Taehyung’s pensive expression.

“Don’t worry, Tae, no one will let anything happen to you,” the older smiled, patting his shoulder.

“I am not worried about myself,” Taehyung snorted.

“We are gonna be fine, it’s not our first grudge with some fuckers. We always win, Jungkook's got this and we all trust him,” Jimin patted his knee, taking the controller to turn the movie back on. Taehyung couldn’t focus anymore, thinking about what he just learned.
