BTS DOPE

Chapter 16: Market Lockdown

Jin~ POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

I have completed my shift and with permission, I was able to leave earlier. I could now go home and cook.

"Jin-ah! Please look over the rice cakes while I wash up!" My mother shouted as she heard me walked in.

I smiled and rolled up my sleeves. I looked over to the steaming stir fry and mixed it gently with wooden chopsticks. The flavors were definitely delicious. I turned the heat down to low. I stood next to my mom as I quickly washed my hands. She was doing the dishes and I soon joined with her.

"Did you ever see that blonde man again?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"Well I think he left early, he'll probably be fine," I sincerely said.

I hope Suga listened to my advice.

I dry the plates with a towel and put it on a rack.

"Oh your friend has visited today. He was very nice,. He offered me a slice of pizza," She warmly praised, "He left things for you, here clean up and look at it."

I dry my hands on my apron and made my way to the coffee table. There was a note and a half made plushie.

"Thanks for paying the medical bills. Eun Bi never finished it, and I think this is somewhere in your area to fix it. Again please keep the secret and thanks!- Rapmon" I read.

I sigh, the secret was really bothering me.

I have to do the right thing.

I'm sorry.

The doll that had messy stitching obviously shown that someone else attempted to repair it. I was glad to have something made by Eun Bi.

I will fix it.

"Jin! Your rice cakes will be cold! Hurry and eat!"

-----------------------------------------------------------

I wiped my mouth and thanked my mom for the meal.

"Are you still hungry?" She asked as she poured tea into her cup.

"Actually mom, if you're not busy, could you teach me one of your recipes for bulgogi?"

"Sure, tell me if you crave anything son! Oh, but we don't have any fresh beef or any beef in general," she said as she looked through the freezer.

"Don't worry, I'll just drive to the nearby market, do we need anything else?" I suggested.

She nodded and gave me a shopping list.

Milk, cheese, mayo, rice flour, lemons, brown sugar, and beef.

"Oh don't stay out too late, if anything comes up call me Jin," she warned.

I smiled and grabbed my car keys and headed out.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The grocery store wasn't too occupied so I was able to find my ingredients swiftly. I noticed there was a sale on beef.

Yesss savings!

Two people have beat me to there first. I knew them.

"Good evening V and Jimin," I greeted.

They turned around and grinned.

"Jin! How are you?" V excitedly asked.

"I've been great and you guys?"

V and Jimin nodded and had merry expressions.

"Have any luck on your case?" I questioned.

If they're doing great, that means they won't need the Rapmonster clue.

I could only selfishly hope.

"Meh, it's a little slow, but we have leads, though we might have to call another interrogation meeting hahaha," V joked.

Oh.

"Jin, do you know how to grill meat?"

I looked over to Jimin and he was examining a slab of raw meat that was on clearance.

"Well I've seen my mother cooked it and I know the recipe, I just never did it myself. That's why I was going to get some right now," I chuckled.

"Hmmm I get the hunch that you're a secret five-star chef," V observed.

We all laughed at his remark.

At that exact moment, I heard the loud gunshot. We looked over to the cashier registers, and there the Paper Gang stood.

Everyone was shrieking and I noticed that the doors were shut. A metal door was even pulled down. I heard two more gunshots.

No!

I was trembling, I hated this situation.

V pulled us down to hide behind a fruit and vegetable stand. Jimin looked pale and shocked. V is panicking as he struggled to pull something out of his pocket. I could see the beads of sweat on his forehead. I tried to breathe quietly.

"All of you! Over here!" I heard one of the members commanded.

I peaked at the side of the stand and I saw customers and staff were rounding up in the corner. I saw three masked figures. There was Fox and the Bird Twins. It was honestly terrifying seeing them "live".

One person was resisting and it was the manager.

"The police are coming here in a minute right now!" The manager cockily stated.

I felt relieved, but the feeling was gone once I heard Fox spoke.

"The buttons under the cashier don't work, trust me," Fox retorted.

In the past three minutes people were being scavenged for their phones. Everybody was freaking out. Some were crying or silent. Jimin, V, and I have not moved yet. I still watched as the whole conflict unfolds.

"Five minutes have passed, give me the key to your register!"

The manager looks like he had lost all hope. He collapsed in his knees and started begging.

"No, please, we can work out a deal he-"

The gun was pointed to his head when he was shot. I had a sick feeling once I saw the limp body kicked to the side.

Fox put his gun against another worker's head.

"Open the registers now!"

The lady started crying and nodding.

What can I do?!

V nudged me to the side and I glanced back. Jimin still showed a panicked, but serious expression. V gulped as he pulled out a revolver. The black gun glistened under the freezer lights.

"We need to spilt," he whispered.
