Sugar (A Taekook/Vkook Love Story)

Chapter 22

A/N This chapter will be in Jungkook's POV only.

Jungkook

It was show time. Taehyung had that serious mask on his face, and Jungkook understood that he was channeling his anger towards Kim JeNa again to help him stay focused and determined. It was unnerving seeing the stoic, impassive expression on the usual bright and bubbly angel. Sure, the elder's strong, stern gaze did things to Jungkook (because wow Kim Taehyung was so hot), but he couldn't help but still feel uneasy. He was about to send his boyfriend on what was basically a suicide mission: straight into the enemy's lair. 

"All right, Taehyung, you know what to do. Slip in, act normal, wait patiently until she goes into the bathroom, and then press the TechCircle onto the USB. It'll internally fry the USB and all the memory inside will be completely burned out." Namjoon explained for the last time.

Jungkook watched nervously as Taehyung didn't respond, simply gazing straight at Namjoon, the look in his eyes conveying the message: he was ready. In a single swift movement, Taehyung pulled on the dark sunglasses and black mask and climbed out of the car, running swiftly through the several alleyways towards the house. It took approximately ten minutes for him to arrive at the large house.

Everybody immediately began crowding around the computer on Jin's lap, where the camera hidden artfully in Taehyung's sunglasses allowed them to see what was going on. 

Jungkook's heart rate picked up and he began to sweat as Taehyung successfully blended in with the other bodyguards, all wearing the same style of uniform, shades, and mask. 

"Everybody to your positions." a deep, calm voice belonging most likely to the leader commanded.

Taehyung immediately began making his way towards the master bedroom, walking with confidence and ease as if he walked the same path every day.

"Taehyung? Can you hear me?" Namjoon whispered into the microphone the moment Taehyung reached the bedroom, the sound of water flowing in the bathroom. 

"Yes. There's something wrong." came the low, growling reply. 

Everyone tensed at Taehyung's words.

"Why isn't there anyone else following me to this position? Since I'm not an actual bodyguard member, there should be another person who is also situated in the bedroom, but its empty. I can also clearly see the USB on the bedside table. This is way too easy, something is wrong."

Jungkook glanced nervously at his Hyungs trying to gauge their reactions. However, every single one of them had pulled on a blank mask, so he couldn't tell what they were thinking.

"It's okay, Taehyung. Nothing is wrong. Just place the TechCircle on the USB and leave immediately." 

"Copy that."

Jungkook watched with his breath held as Taehyung glided over to the bedside table and proceeded to lightly place the small circle of extremely expensive technology onto the USB. The device immediately latched on, blinking red, and Taehyung began making his way out the room.

Jungkook couldn't help but still feel uneasy. Taehyung was right. This was too simple. They hadn't planned for several weeks for something as easy as this mission. 

Suddenly, just as Taehyung was about to step out the back door, he let out a muffled yelp and the camera went black, microphone only making static sounds. 

The entire car went silent as the six stared dumbly at the computer screen in utter shock. When it finally dawned on Jungkook that something just happened, he felt his heart literally stop and his breathing grew ragged.
