"Hey Jimin."

"Hey."

"What's the emergency about?"

I sighed. "I need your help with something."

"Sure. What can I do for you?"

"Do you know anything about the Min family?"

He raised one of his eyebrows at me. Seems like he wasn't much surprised that I asked him that. He was about to say something, but the waiter interrupted him.

"Two expresso?" we both nodded our heads and the waiter left, leaving us alone to continue our conversation.

"So?" I asked once again, looking over at Namjoon who was staring in front of himself this time.

"Which one are you referring to? There are quite a lot of families with Min surname out th-..."

"I'm referring to that one that's doing illegal things for ages now. The one whose member we know really well." I said, staring at Namjoon even more intensely. He gulped while scratching the back of his head. "You know something, don't you Namjoon?"

"Why does that concern you Jimin?"

"Because it does. I need to know everything. Please Hyung."

He sighed deeply before turning to his backpack, taking his laptop out of it, and placing it on the counter. He started typing something on it. I wasn't exactly able to see what. After some time, he finally stopped and turned the screen towards me.

"What is this?"

"Just read it. I think that's the thing you're looking for."

I moved the laptop closer to myself and started reading carefully.

March 9, 2015 - a group of young men was arrested as they were trying to sell tons of drugs to neighbor countries. Under further investigation, it was found out that they were working under Min corporation that was currently under the leadership of an unknown female persona. They used innocent people to do their job as they hide away in the darkness, controlling over them and hiding their true identities. They would drug them to the point where they even forget who they are. In the underground, they were known under the name Monsta X. Apparently, they were arrested during the huge cleanout that happened two years ago when the military joined special forces. But an unfamiliar woman with the initials S. M. came and got them freed. No one knew how she accomplished that. But is suspected that all of them were a part of a very dangerous organization. Police are still looking for them and having this case under investigation.

After reading the article, I was in total shock.

"Did you finish reading it? I think that could be the Min family you're looking for," he said as I handed him back the laptop.

"But what? How?" I stared at him confused.

"I don't know if you'll believe, but... There is also one more family that's doing the same kind of work as them. And it's from someone very close to us."

"Which one?"

"Jeon family."

Wait, what?! What do you mean Jeon?

"They are working together with the Min family. And I'm quite sure that it's the family of our Jeon Jungkook..."

I was in total shock. "Impossible..." I said it sounding more like a whisper as I tried to collect my thoughts.

The waiter came with our orders, but I didn't pay attention to him. I got up quickly and run out of the bar, leaving Namjoon behind who was calling me and asking to stop and come back. But I could not stop. Not now. I run as fast as I could, my legs leading me toward Jungkook house on their own. What Namjoon just said, that can't be true. Jungkook would never...

I run into the house, forgetting to knock, as usual, my eyes scanning the living room in search of Jeon Jungkook. A voice came from the kitchen, making me turn only to see Jungkooks dad leaning against the door frame.

"Jimin? What brought you here? Are you looking for Jungkook?"

Feeling that my legs may give up on me at any moment, I sat down at the nearby chair, staring at Jungkook's father who was still standing at the same place.

H-he's the one selling d-drugs... N-no... Impossible. I knew him since I was a little boy. Such a good man can't be the one selling drugs.

I gulped, still not being able to process everything. "Yes, Mister Jeon."

"He's not here at the moment, but he should return soon. Make yourself at home while waiting for him."

I only nodded at his words as I watched him go back to the kitchen. Not long after, he came back from it carrying glass water and offering it to me. I took it and held between both my hands, not wanting him to notice how much they were shaking.

"So Jimin, how's it going? I heard that you run away from home. Is it true?"

"Yeah..." I replied unsure how to act around him anymore.

"That was not a smart move. It's hard to live out there on your own. And they must love you a lot and are missing you right now."

"I wouldn't quite think of it that way.." I mumbled to myself, but he probably heard it too since we weren't much apart from each other.

He kept talking after that for quite a lot. I didn't pay much attention to what he was saying until one question got me out of my shoes.

" Why did you run away?"

I looked at him, not knowing how I'm supposed to answer that question. Right then, like a savior sent from heaven, Jungkook entered the house.

"Jimin? What are you doing here?"

"I came because we need to talk about something."

"Oh, okay. Let's go to my room."

I stood up and followed Jungkook upstairs. Once we were in his room and the doors were closed, I started, cutting him in the middle of his sentence. "What is goin-..?"

"How could you lie to me?! For all these years! Haaa!! How could you?! I thought we were friends?!"

"What the heck Hyung? What are you even talking about?" he stared at me, his face puzzled.

I was so sick of his pretending. I slammed him against the wall, my small hand gripping the collar of his shirt with all the strength I had. It didn't matter that he was taller. I was furious.

Gritting my teeth out of anger, I spoke again. "Stop lying to me! What kind of drugs are you on? Haa! Cocaine?! Heroin?! Marijuana?! What are you using? Stronger or lighter ones? Probably a strong one since it's been going on for ages. Do you poke yourself with the needles? Or do you prefer taking it through your nose? I can't believe it... "

I was now walking back and forth in the room, about to lose my mind. My thoughts were going from one place to another. I couldn't believe what was happening.

"What the actual fuck are you talking about? Why are you even talking about drugs?!! " Jungkook yelled, grabbing me by my shoulders, staring directly into my eyes.

"Im talking about you and your family!! You sick monsters! Taking drugs and selling it to other people!!"

After saying that, Jungkook released me from his grip and moved away, both shock and confusion evident on his face.

"W-what..? What d-did you just s-say..?"

Wait, he didn't know about it? Shit...
