Unchained | Yoongi

Associates

Today I had an activity in school so my day ended later. I always walked home alone on Wednesdays. I exited the main building, expecting nothing more than my usual walk until someone shouted across the court.

"Queen!" Min Yoongi started walking towards me as soon as he spotted me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked when he came into earshot.

"I was waiting for you," he answered.

"Why?"

"Because I want you to meet two people."

"Who are they?"

"Someone that will help us gain control of FIRE."

I huffed and walked past him. Why was he still on about that stupid idea of his? I only said yes as a joke and now he was taking this so seriously. It was as if he really was going to do it.

He grabbed my wrist tightly to stop me. "I'm serious."

I was about to say something in retort but it was stuck in my throat. I saw that his gaze was firm and his brows furrowed slightly. I had never seen him this serious before. Normally he was always loud and jokey around school, and that was what attracted a lot of the girls. But not this time. Maybe he really did want me to meet those two mystery people.

I thought for a moment, then gave in. "Fine, I'll meet them."

"Good." Still not letting go of me, Yoongi started walking towards the school gate.

I removed my wrist from his grasp and muttered, "I can walk on my own."

"Sorry."

The King of BAC, who was known to be arrogant, just apologised to me? Now that was unexpected.

"Do you know about the park?" Yoongi asked as entered a patch of green area near our school.

"Of course." I had never been to that park myself, but no one in our area hadn't heard of it. It opened recently and aggressively advertised itself on quite a few platforms.

"We are going there."

I was surprised again. I didn't think Min Yoongi, the son of own for the richest families in Busan, would be hanging out in places like that. The park was known to be the haunt of various kind of what my mother called 'lowly' people after their advertising campaign failed.

As we neared our destination the lively noise of chatter and the childish merry-go-round music could be heard. We turned a corner and the clearing that the park was built on came into sight. It was a lot more crowded than I expected it to be. The source of the music stood square in the middle of the park, kids and adults went round and round on it. Behind it were some stools, some which offered games like shooting balloons and some of them sold snacks like candy floss and popcorn.

"Over there," Yoongi gestured for me to continue following him. We walked past a red swing to an area behind the park. Two boys that looked younger than me leaned on the trees.

"Jimin, Jungkook," Yoongi called out.

They stood up straight and both replied, "Yoongi-hyung."

"This is Oh Eunjung," Yoongi introduced me. He then said to the two, "Tell her who you are."

The shorter guy with a baby face waved and said, "I'm Jeon Jungkook. Nice to meet you."

"Park Jimin," the other guy muttered his name and didn't even try to smile.

I recognised the school uniform Jungkook and Jimin were wearing. "Do you go to Busan High School?"

Jungkook nodded. "Yep, both of us do. I'm in 8th grade, And Jimin-hyung is in 10th grade."

8th grade, so he was only 14? No wonder why he looked so young. And Jimin was two years younger than Yoongi as well. What was Yoongi doing hanging out with these little kids?

"Jimin, Jungkook, remember what I said about FIRE? There has been a change of plan." Yoongi said. "We will now include Eunjung in it as well."

Hearing that, the two guys immediately looked me up and down.

"Why?" Jungkook asked, all of a sudden serious. There were really in on the whole taking control of FIRE plan? Now I was sure Yoongi was joking since why would you get a 14 and a 16 years old to help you? Wouldn't you want some big old brutes on your side? But the two boys looked completely in with the plans. What was this, some sort of role-playing game?

"Because she will make the plan more likely to succeed," Yoongi replied.

"...If you say so, hyung," Jungkook backed down.

"Now-"

Before Yoongi could say more, a rather shrill voice interrupted.

"Jimin?" A female in the same school uniform as Jimin and Jungkook was approaching us. "I've been looking for you!"  She ran up to Jimin and clung onto his arm. "Let's go!"

The girl wasn't pretty nor was she particularly ugly. One feature of hers that stood out was her sharp nose. She had rather fox-like eyes too.

"You interrupted me," Yoongi stated, annoyance obvious in his voice.

Completely blanking Yoongi, she turned to look at me and said, "Who is this?"

"I am Oh Eunjung. And you are?"

A sweet smile appeared on her face and she offered me a hand. "Good to meet you. My name is Lee Miha."
