arata nagatamaa holds his breath, watching the screen before him for that exact moment, the one that made him scream until he felt his lungs might burst.
true enough, on the camera man's monitor is just mere moments before, the manager takes in jungkook's angry glare as he questions the legitimacy of the woman known as jeon mira. the way the idiotic woman (arata really really regrets ever hiring such an imbecile) questions whether she'll still get payed, and then finally, the entrance of the stranger with the baseball cap. arata frowns briefly as he watches jungkook's eyes widen in some form of recognition when the stranger speaks, and then he feels jealously curl his stomach, making him curl his lip when the stranger brushes his knuckles against jungkook's face.
it upsets arata because jungkook is like porcelain and the man had touched him without any form of payment. and how dare he, arata thinks. he hadn't spent years grooming that boy for people to go touching him like he was something cheap. but arata really doesn't have much time to dwell on that, instead he nibbles nervously on his fist as he watches the man pull a gun from his coat before aiming it at the woman. and then, he pulls the trigger.
"gotdammmit! holy shit!" arata screams as if he hasn't had the cameraman play this moment back several times since it happened. his toupee of the day, a black, medium cut bob sways as he starts to run around the room then, practically singing, "holy shiiiiiiiiit."
the 5'2 manager falls to his knees, clutching his chest with a pained expression.
"whew, ooo-" the manager falls to the floor, toupee scrambling to stay on his head as he lies on his back laughing before shaking uncontrollably, "wooooooo-"
arata rolls over on his hands and knees, crawling back towards the camera man, who's eyes are still locked on the camera replaying the recent events. the japanese man grabs the camera man's leg, using it to help himself to his feet. he clutches his chest then, fanning himself with his other hand.
"play it again, play it again." he tells the camera man, referring to the shooting. he takes in a a shaky breath as the camera man complies, rewinding the clip to that exact moment.
arata holds his breath, watching closely as if he doesn't know what's going to happen. and then, in the clip, taehyung raises the gun and shoots the woman.
