Reckless & Relentless | Multiship

Chapter Five

"Remind me why I listened to you."

"Because, I'm always right. Plus, it's better than stealing, isn't it?"

Yoongi rolled his eyes.

The shopping centre was full of life. Too much, in Yoongi's opinion. There were too many people happy about shopping. He was not one of them. And he wasn't even trying to hide the scowl he had on his face every time a female walked past and looked him up and down. It didn't help that several of them knew Jeongguk. But, for his sake, Jeongguk didn't stop to start a conversation with a single one of them. They were on a mission, and he decided to stick to it.

"What shop did Jimin say?" Jeongguk questioned, checking each of the stores as they walked passed them.

"He didn't know the name, but there were mannequins out the front of them."

Jeongguk stopped and stared up at the store before them.

It was fancy and looked rather expensive. On the mannequins were intricate suits, each with different patterning and detailing.

This is definitely it...

The two shared a look before stepping inside. Instantly, they seemed out of place. Other customers were either wearing suits or dresses. Yoongi and Jeongguk were dressed in their finest clothing—ripped jeans and dark sweaters. It seemed to bother some of the customers, but Yoongi rolled his eyes before pulling the sheet of paper out and reading over the numbers and words.

"Right..." He trailed off before running his eyes over the store. Tearing the paper in half, he handed one slip to Jeongguk. "Keep it in the budget."

The younger nodded before separating from Yoongi and going off to search for three suits.

He sighed. This is going to be a long day...

Yoongi and Jeongguk (carefully) dumped the bags of clothes and equipment they had purchased on the couch. Jeongguk flopped down next to Jimin and rested his head on his shoulder.

"That's everything," Yoongi said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Jin nodded whilst Taehyung peeked inside of the bags. "So, that means we have to check it out tomorrow."

Namjoon looked to the clock behind him, seeing that it was only half past seven. He grabbed the two boxes of pizza that the two had brought home, then set them on the coffee table in front of the couch and opened them.

He plopped down on the couch, letting Jin sit himself on the ground in between his legs. Namjoon took the opportunity to run his fingers through Jin's hair, using his other hand to eat. He watched Jin.

The older wasn't eating. He rarely ever did. At first, Namjoon figured it was because he barely ever built up an appetite. When he figured out the true reason, not only was he crushed, but he tried everything in his power to reassure Jin and get him to eat.

Jin was the oldest of them all. He was one of the major building blocks for them all. His glue, what kept him held together, was Namjoon and the five friends surrounding him. Jin always tried to make sure they were all healthy. It was always them before him. There were days where he'd go without eating just so they could stay healthy, even if that meant he wasn't. To Jin, it didn't matter, because they were healthy and safe. It didn't matter. But, it did to Namjoon.

He reached down and held the half eaten piece of pizza in front of Jin. "Eat, baby."

Jin shook his head, ready to form a reply before his partner beat him to it.

He lowered his head so his lips were close to Jin's ear. "All of this goes away in a few days. You won't have to worry about this ever again. Please, eat."

Jin moved forward and took a bite out of the pizza, then another, then another. When there was only a small portion of the crust left, he smirked and fell back. Namjoon still had the remains of the pizza held in his fingers, as he was basically feeding Jin, and gaped down at it.

"Geez..." He mumbled, lightly shoving Jin before eating the small bit of crust.

The two chuckled, and the sound travelled across the room to where Hoseok and Taehyung were sitting, leaning against each other.

Taehyung had long since finished his pizza, devouring two slices in less time than it took Hoseok to eat one. It wasn't that he was hungry, per se, just a fast eater. That always made Hoseok laugh.

"Do you think it'll work?" Taehyung asked after a moment of silence.

Hoseok swallowed his food before answering. "I think it could work if we're motivated. I once read somewhere that if you have faith in something or someone, things could work out. If we believe in ourselves, it'll work. We'll make it."

Taehyung nodded, accepting his answer. Hoseok always had a way with words. It was strange for Taehyung. He always knew what to say no matter what the situation may be. It made Taehyung jealous.

"Do you have faith?" He found himself asking his friend.

Hoseok turned to Taehyung and looked into his eyes whilst saying, "Yes. We're going to get that money, and then we're going to go wherever we want and do whatever we want. And no one can stop us."

Maybe it was because of his 'relationship' with the law, but Taehyung questioned Hoseok.

"No one?"

"No one."
