Yoongi Chapter 2: The Bounty Hunter from Daegu

[A/N: Hi, everyone! Sorry for the long wait, thank you, as always, for reading and voting, I appreciate it :) I'm already starting the next part, so hopefully it'll be out faster than this one. If you want to listen to the songs Yoongi plays in this chapter, they're Chopin's "Nocturne op.9 no.2", Yiruma's "The River Flows in You", and Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.]

Awkward silence.

It pervades as you sit across from Suga, taking slow, self-conscious bites of your sandwich. You're ravenous, but your stomach clenches with anxiety and eating is proving to be difficult. Around you, the din of conversations of the cafe's patrons, which you might normally find comforting, mixes with your nerves and feels oppressive. Suga's wearing his famed poker face, sipping his coffee as his free hand absently fiddles with his left sleeve.

You steal another glance, remembering his injury from yesterday. Is it holding up after all of that fighting? He was stabbed, for chrissakes. "A-are you okay?" You blurt, nearly spitting sandwich on him. This is why we don't eat in front of people, [F/n].

"Chew first, then talk," Suga deadpans.

You bury your face in your hands. Why is this happening?

"My arm is okay. Jin-hyung is definitely a quack, but he can do some things well."

You regain your composure. "Oh, okay."

More silence. You scour your brain for something to say, but you're running a blank at this point, so you decide to wait for Suga to speak. But that proves to be pointless. You finish eating, and Suga finishes his coffee, but neither of you say a word. You're beginning to regret coming here. Did he change his mind about helping you repay your debt?

But as he sets down his empty cup, Suga finally breaks the silence. "Now that you're finished eating, I have a proposition for you."

He was waiting for me to be done? How... courteous. You nod in affirmation. "As you probably figured out, I don't exactly have a desk job," Suga wears a self-deprecating smirk as he begins. "But in your case, this might actually be a benefit."

"I'm... kinda lost," You admit. "I heard yesterday that you're a..." you lower your voice, "bounty hunter. And I can assume from that exchange that you're looking for G-Dragon—"

"Ultimately, yes." Suga cuts me off. "But you don't need to worry about that right now."

"Then, what—?"

"Hey, brat. I know you're eager, but just let me get there, kay?" Suga reaches a hand across the table and tousles your hair roughly, topping it off with a flick to your forehead.

"Owww, hey!" You protest, pouting.

"What I'm talking about now was actually Namjoon's bright idea. If you can help me out on some smaller cases, I'll put some of the money we earn toward paying off your debt. How does that sound?" Suga crosses his arms and gives you a hard stare. You gulp.

"Didn't you initially refuse that idea?" you ask. "Will I even be helpful?"

"When I bring in GD, my fam—" Suga stops himself, then coughs awkwardly. "Rather, I won't need to worry about money anymore. You're the key to making that happen. If you're worried about being useful, don't. If there's no use for you in the field, I'll put you to work at the complex."
