"Did you hear? Jeon Master is sending Mingyu?"

"Sending? Where?"

"To guangju, his home town."

"But why? Mingyu hasn't visited his home since last 4 years, not even a vacation, then how come Jeon is now sending him."

"I have heard that it's Because of that boy, jimin, Jeon is terminating him from his post in gang because he didn't save jimin to go in fire. Jeon had trusted jimin to be safe with him."

Servants of the mansion were talking quitely to each other in garden about recent news of jeon's trusted gang member mingyu's termination, but they were unknown of that the boy they were talking about was just few steps behind them, with the container of water as he had came to water the plants because he was again feeling suffocated in his room after returning from the hospital.

Jimin instantly hid himself behind a pillar on the stairs of the mansion's entrance, his expression filled with worry as he strained to hear the servants' conversation. A sense of guilt gripped him tightly as he realized the consequences of his foolish actions on an honest and hardworking member.

"That's not fair," one servant muttered. "Jeon is only thinking about that boy. Mingyu is truly a gem for his gang; his strength against enemies is unmatched. Jeon seems to have forgotten how he himself brought Mingyu on the right path when he was involved in wrong dealings. Now he's terminating him for a boy who's only been here for a short while."

"Seojun was saying that Mingyu begged Jeon for a second chance, but Jeon didn't listen and told him to leave by tomorrow," one of the servants added.

Jimin's brows furrowed, and his lips agaped as he processed this information. He set the water container down and hurried back inside the mansion. He took the lift to the floor where their rooms were located.

Jungkook's room door was closed, but Jimin knew he was inside. Taking a deep breath to gather his courage, he knocked.

A faint "come in" was heard, and Jimin braced himself to face Jungkook. Ever since yesterday's events, he had been feeling a whole different kind of emotions.

He entered the room, fumbling with his sweater paws and chewing on his lips.

Jungkook sat lavishly on his couch, absorbed in reading the newspaper, specifically an article about last night's explosion. Kyong and his gang had been completely wiped out. The guests and other people were safe, and Samuel, the mafia leader, was alive, though he had lost much of his gang.

Jungkook looked up from his newspaper and saw Jimin standing there, looking down and seemingly debating how to initiate a conversation with him.

"Why are you standing, angel? Come sit," Jungkook said softly, having been waiting for Jimin to come to him since yesterday.

"M-Mingyu, y-your gang member, it wasn't his fault that I didn't listen to him. P-please," Jimin stammered, his gaze fixed on his shoes instead of meeting Jungkook's eyes. This hesitation and discomfort in his state had started to bother Jungkook.

"P-please don't terminate him" Jimin begged. Jungkook kept looking at him with the same restless gaze before folding the paper and setting it aside.

"I'm not terminating him, I'm replacing him. That's his reward for being careless with his task. I hate irresponsibility, Jimin. But whoever informed you, it's not your or their business to interfere." His tone was dismissive, clearly not wanting to explain himself further.
