Rage of Angels [JinKook]

4. Delicate and Rough

It was nearly midnight, and Jin found himself far from the city, uncertain of his whereabouts. He had driven aimlessly, taking turns without a destination in mind, until he finally stopped at the first establishment he came across. Hesitant, he surveyed the dimly lit place with no windows, giving it an eerie vibe.

Taking a deep breath, he gathered his courage and entered. As he pushed open the door, all eyes turned towards him, and a hush fell over the room. Jin swallowed nervously and made his way towards the bar, avoiding eye contact to maintain his composure. The crowd, mostly already drunk, began whispering among themselves.

"He looks familiar."

"Maybe he is an actor or a model? You might've seen him in magazines or on TV."

"He seems rich. What's he doing here?"

"Hey there! Need any help? I can assist with anything you need, sweetheart," someone called out with a sly grin, eyeing Jin suggestively.

A few men chuckled and others whistled as Jin tried to ignore the attention and keep to himself.

"If you're lost, you can spend the night at my house, free of charge," someone yelled, followed by malicious laughs.

Meanwhile, Jungkook sat nursing a beer. He had already downed three bottles and was nearly finished with his fourth. He paid little attention to the commotion around him.

Gavin approached Jungkook and whispered, "Boss, trouble. Tom's crew is already wasted, and they might cause trouble. That guy who just walked in looks out of place."

"He's stupid to come here at this hour. Just ignore them. Tom won't start anything with me around," Jungkook replied.

"Uh oh!" Gavin muttered, causing Jungkook to glance over his shoulder.

Initially, the newcomer's face didn't register with Jungkook, perhaps due to the alcohol. However, what caught his attention was when Tom approached the stranger and grabbed his arm. The newcomer forcefully pulled away, surprising Tom. He calmly continued towards the bar, but Tom, in a reckless move, touched his shoulder, trying to turn him around. The man swiftly turned, revealing a poised stance that indicated he knew how to handle himself. Sensing trouble, Jungkook decided to step in before things escalated in his pub.

Standing up, Jungkook approached Tom and the newcomer. As he neared them, he recognized the determination on the guy's face. It was Kim Seokjin.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Jungkook couldn't help asking, realization dawning on his face.

Jin remained focused on Tom, ignoring Jungkook's question.

"Tom, step back. Let me handle this," Jungkook said firmly.

"I saw him first," Tom retorted with a smirk.

"It doesn't matter who saw him first. He's off-limits," Jungkook muttered to himself, frustrated as he tried to figure out how to convince Tom to let Jin go.

"You already have a police record, Tom. You might not get away with this," Jungkook warned sternly.

Tom stared at Jungkook and then at Jin. "Why can't I have someone like him? We could share, and no one would know," he said, eyeing Jin's lips.

"Go home, you're drunk. I'll handle him," Jungkook said firmly to Tom, then pulled Jin outside the pub.

Jin struggled against Jungkook's hold, but Jungkook's strength prevailed. Jin continued to resist, prompting Jungkook to become irritated. Finally, Jungkook released Jin, lifted him onto his shoulders, and carried him away.

"Put me down, you pig! Don't touch me!"

"Shut up!" Jungkook snapped as he released Jin.

"I won't shut up! Stay away from me!" Jin said hysterically.
