THE DEN

[3 WEEKS AGO]

"I'll see you next week beautiful," Jimin watches the black haired girl with white streaks exit the car, hair long as her nails flowing down her golden tan back. She turns around and rolls her eyes at his never-ending attempt to flirt with her. 

"Shut up," Aiko responds by slamming the car door behind her. 

This was the second time they've hung out this week, Aiko thinks it's too much while Jimin thinks it's not enough. He loved being around her, even if it was just to get beer or cigarettes down the street. Time was valuable to Jimin and he loved spending it with her. Aiko flips him off one more time when she hears him whistling from his car and shuts the door to her apartment. Jimin always made sure she got in safely before leaving. Aiko and Yoongi didn't live in the safest neighborhood...

[THE DEN]

Jimin greets Teddy at the door where he is stationed almost all the time unless a fight breaks out in the middle of a car race. Stepping into the warehouse felt unusually quiet, it lacked the stench of booze and liquor and the typical aroma of weed. He walked to the other corner of the lifeless room wondering when it would be filled with a sea of bodies, again. The three boys look up, wondrous of the approaching footsteps. The first boy, black hair with a freshly shaved undercut, a silver barbell sticking through his arched brow, and another on his lip, looked up at Jimin. 

"What's good J.P.," the boys dapped up before Jimin joined them on the black leather couches where he helps himself to a blunt already waiting for him on the table, as if it were destiny. "J.J.'s been looking for you, he's been pissed off all week." 

 "I'd be lying if I said I gave a fuck. I was out making money, his money." 

"Are you sure it doesn't have anything to do with a girl?" The second boy, Lex, butts his way into the conversation. Unlike J.K., Lex had less intimidating features and looked more innocent-like amongst their crowd. But, don't let his timidness fool you. That's how he manipulates people and situations to get what he wants. The other night, Jimin drunkenly told Lex about a black haired girl with white streaks and his fatuation with her. When Jimin realized what he had done he begged Lex not to mention her to anybody else. That was of course, until now. 

"What girl?" J.K. practically rose up from his seat with curiosity about this new girl that Jimin was potentially banging. It also wasn't a surprise that Jimin was involved with a new girl, they all know that he can't just settle for one person. 

"It's not like that," Jimin rolls his eyes annoyed at Lex for even bringing her up and J.K. for egging it on. "She's just a friend of mine, nothing more." 

Lex and J.K. look at each other in disbelief that Jimin would lie to the both of them. They were already used to his usual tactics so why was he lying about this girl all of a sudden? It wasn't about him respecting girls, Jimin doesn't respect girls. Jimin tends to parade his girls around as if they were art in an exhibit. Every week there was a new girl that he would bring around the warehouse and he would gloat about how good of a fuck she was. 

"She's not even all that, so can we just leave it?" Jimin groans. "You're right, she's just another good fuck and I was drunk when I told Lex. Big mistake to trust you," he was just saying what they wanted to hear because they would never leave him alone. Jimin did respect girls, but more importantly, Aiko. "That's beside the point, tell J.J. that his shit is here, I don't have time to wait around for him." He threw wads of cash onto the table before getting up to leave. Everything he had worked for in the last two weeks when he wasn't at the DEN should make up for his absence. "He knows where to find me."
