Once upon a dream

Atonement

The clock on the wall was annoyingly slow or he was just wired to think that way. It seemed that an hour would go by and he'd glance up at the stupid thing and it had only been ten minutes. Quickly growing bored and worried he stood from his hyungs chair and walked towards the door.

Hoseok stood against the wall opposite of him when he opened it. The man was tall with rich dark hair, he had a scar on the left side of his temple and a plethora of tattoos. Jungkook guessed him to be in his late twenties, maybe early thirties and quite handsome. Intimidating and scary as hell but handsome.

"Hoseok hyung?"

The man looked to him immediately, straightening up, on guard. "Is there something wrong Jungkook-ssi"

"Umm...just.." he blushed and looked down. "I'm hungry"

"Ahh" the man nodded and scratched his chin. "I can have someone bring something from the kitchen, just tell me what you'd like"

His nose twitched in displeasure as he wanted a change of scenery. "Can we go there instead?"

Hoseok looked perplexed for a moment before he spoke. "I don't think that's a good idea. V sir said for you to stay in his office"

"I know and I don't want to get you in any trouble, I'll take full responsibility. But I'm bored and there's only so much wall watching I can do" It had to be locked up in that room back at the Cho's for as long as he was that he couldn't stand being under guard and holed away again a minute longer. "Please"

"...ok. You stick with me though. There will be others around and no one knows who you are yet so they'll be curious. So stay by my side"

Jungkook nodded while smiling widely. He had no intention of going off on his own or causing any trouble. Just simply wanted to not be locked away anymore.

The building they were in was quite large, it was three stories, four if you counted the basement, but it was wider than anything. It was surrounded by a few smaller buildings that when driving up Taehyung had explained that those were housing for some of his men. There were other buildings towards the back of the property that held vehicles as well as weaponry. It served as his homebase as well as a training ground for new recruits.

On the way to the kitchen, which was on the first floor and Tae's office was on the third, they passed a few men who would stop to greet Hoseok out of respect. Taehyung had talked about him before but this was Jungkook's first time meeting him. The elder explained that Hoseok was his third in command, also in charge of his security. That he trusted Hoseok with his life and now Jungkook's life.

As they approached a set of double doors Jungkook could hear an array of chatter, mixed voices talking over one another. Hoseok opened one door and allowed Jungkook to step through first. A large sized room with plenty of tables displayed out covered with men and a few women. All dressed in work out clothing, it looked as if they had all come from the gym.

As soon as he had entered, most if not all heads turned to his direction as he was a new face that had never been around before. When Hoseok stepped in behind him, the entire room stood and bowed in greeting. Hoseok only waved them off before telling them to relax and continue their eating.

"This way" he guided the younger respectfully towards a counter where workers were delving up an assortment of food.

Jungkook's eyes brightened and his stomach growled, mouth watering at the aroma, plus the sight was a bonus.

"There's so much. I don't know what to get." He smiled up at the elder. "What do you normally have?"

Hoseok's eyebrows raised, for some reason, that even now he was unsure why he thought this way before, but he figured that whoever V's partner would be would behave pretentiously, maybe spoiled and unbearable. He didn't expect Jungkook to be the exact opposite of everything he imagined. Not that he was thinking badly of V or who he would choose for himself, it's just that most who approached his boss grew up spoiled and entitled, most were children of business men who wanted to gain some type of power.
