Btw there are some gay derogatory terms in this

-

In Junghyun's shop there weren't many rules, only two; one is that firearms are only used in the range, and the second- there's no making noise during work.

It occurred to jungkook that these rules are quite reasonable, and he often found himself doing his work quietly and properly. One thing he came across a lot were groups of loud teenagers, walking into the shop and playing around with guns and flamethrowers like it's a game- jungkook didn't like it at all. It reminded him of himself.

Another thing was that he grew so much closer to Junghyun, which undoubtedly was really stupid and annoying at times but brilliant as well- brotherhood is a strange thing. But they grew to like and understand it.

Jungkook also took care of himself. Really good care.

He took heat suppressants daily, started a new skin care routine and washed his hair with an expensive shampoo (because he deserved it), drove his sister to school every morning, worked with his brother until sunset then helped his mother cook and clean, going to sleepy early so he could wake up and do it all over again.

He even thought about putting his scar gel to use.

It started with the small inconveniences being marked brought along, such as slip-ups concerning his scarves and his curious sister not believing he was really into fashion. But very quickly he realized- it's more than just that, removing that mark means removing taehyung from his life once and for all.

One side of jungkook wanted to rid of his mark, change phone numbers, dye his hair back to black, wear some loose fitted clothes, cry in public if he feels like it, have Jimin bring back the rest of his things and then never come back- not in a week, 2 weeks, a month or a year- he wanted to start again.

But the other side of him couldn't just leave. It couldn't just be torn away from everything it knew; from his family, childhood friends, mate, even if it had to be done- it just couldn't. And the thought of removing his mark made him nauseous. It served as a comfort to him at all times, and reminded him of the good times. Maybe hyung will love me again? Maybe we're just going through a rough patch?

But then he'd remember- taehyung has moved on. With a girl. It's best to just let it go, don't think about it- you'll only bruise yourself.

" ground control to major kooks. " Junghyun said, chuckling and tapping gently on jungkook's head, " anybody home? "

" dumbass. " jungkook mumbled, tugging on his turtleneck and pulling it up higher.

His brother whistled, " ooh, careful there. Don' wanna get your ass beat like last time. "

" yeah, that goes for you as well. "

Junghyun arched an eyebrow and opened his mouth to respond, only to get interrupted by the sound of the front door opening.

Junghyun gave his brother a look, seeing as it was a girl who just entered. Jungkook at first was confused, but then he realized what kind of look it was and exhaled heavily. Maybe it was time to try it out. Maybe he wasn't gay after all.

" hey. " the girl walked over to the counter where they stood, taking off her sunglasses and flashing a warm smile. " I'm looking for a 9mm handgun, Semi-Automatic. "

Junghyun bumped his brothers' elbow, who immediately spoke out, " sure, how about a glock or cz, ma'am? "

She chuckled, " oh, I don't know anything about guns so just show me. And please don't call me ma'am, I'm probably about as young as you are. " she tilted her head slightly and reached out in a handshake, " I'm suji. "
