Jungkook turns back at the second thump, the first one no doubt caused by Taehyung's crazy driving and erratic U-turn skills. But the next one is out of place, and he turns just as he hears Jimin call out someone's name.

"Hobi!"

Oh, Jungkook thinks. There are windows in this van.

"You idiot," he hisses at Taehyung. "You got a van with windows in the back. How the hell are we supposed to get away with this?"

Jimin is still yelling out for this "Hobi" person, and every second makes Jungkook more and more anxious.

Taehyung shrugs, hardly taking his eyes off the road ahead of him. "I don't know I was just following orders and Namjoon said 'get a van'."

"Yeah but if there's windows someone might notice a guy fucking screaming and banging against it."

Jungkook knows Taehyung is scared. This was his first time ever doing this and he still hasn't quite gotten used to his job. "Well, shit, then make yourself useful and go back there and keep him quiet."

Jungkook wants to keep talking, tormenting Taehyung for fucking up, but he much rather stop the incessant yelling coming from the blond man.
He crawls to the back, yanking Jimin away from window just as they pass an orange haired man with headphones in, opening the door to the apartment building.

Jungkook sighs, hardly using his strength to keep the smaller man contained with a hand over his mouth as he turned back to Taehyung.

"Hey, you put the letter in his mailbox, right?"

There's a stretch of silence that worries Jungkook, and suddenly he's snapping. "Dumbass, did you or did you not put the letter in the-"

"Oh! I did. Don't worry, I did." Taehyung says with relief in his words before he glares back through the rearview mirror. "And I'm older than you, brat, so learn some fucking respect."

"I'll learn respect when you stop acting like a fool and give me a reason to show you anything but my middle finger."

Taehyung, to Jungkook's surprise, speaks out again. "I'm sorry, who was the one that got him into the truck in the first place, asshole?"

Jungkook scoffs. "I could have done this shit myself. I don't need you!"

"Okay, so when we get back to Namjoon's place you can carry that heavy fucker in your-own-goddamned-self!"

Jimin gives a protesting noise against Jungkook's hand at that "heavy" comment which Jungkook hears. "Shut up."

Again, to Jungkook's surprise, Jimin obeys, going limp in Jungkook's restrain, his eyes going dull, almost like he's bored. Jungkook eyes their victim suspiciously before pulling himself away, watching as Jimin shifts to sit against the wall with his arms across his chest. Jungkook thinks maybe he should wonder more on this, but only shrugs, crawling back to sit in the passenger seat again.

"Shouldn't you sit back there with him," the older one starts, "to make sure he doesn't try to escape or some shit?"

The younger man shrugs. "Nah, I think he's mellowed out. Probably doesn't feel like fighting. Besides we're almost there." He glances over at the elder driving, subtly shaking his head.

"What?" he asks defensively. "Like you're so fucking smart?"

There they go again, Jimin thinks. He sighs, sinking further into the hard wall of the van as he tries to tune out the sounds of them arguing. There really is no point in adding to their chaos, Jimin figures not five minutes into hearing them fight like they do. They'll be their own demise, Jimin thinks.

There's a muffled chime coming from his pocket, and it takes him all of two seconds to remember. Oh. Right.
He has his fucking phone.

Unfortunately, he isn't the only one that hears it, and as soon as he thinks to reach for it, the younger man has crawled back to him with his hand out. "Give it."

Jimin contemplates fighting back the way this man fights with the driver, but then thinks against it, dropping his phone into the man's hand.

"Great call, Jungkookie," the driver says in a sickeningly sweet tone. "You didn't even think to check his pockets."
The one called "Jungkookie" only sucks his teeth before mumbling, "Shut up."
Jimin hopes they get wherever they're going soon. He just might rather be in a dungeon than with these two imbeciles.

Are these chapters too short? A third chapter will also be out today because I'm on a roll.
