Namjoon turned around immediately. He was looking at me with such an intense gaze like it's such a big deal.

"Already? Are you sure?" he responded.

"Absolutely, let's go to sit" I said. We went straight to our place we left not so long ago and took our unfinished drinks.

"Give me the names please" Namjoon asked me again.

"The thing is that the guy who has a painting is going to sell it nearly this week, I will get the location and when it's going to happen in the last minute" I whispered when I came next to Namjoon.

"The guy? So you are actually telling me that the one dude did all this mess?" he was surprised.

"One guy or a group I don't really know, he just said this small guy" I continued. "I think here we have a toast, you will be free finally my brother" I patted his shoulder. "Those fucking cops, I know how much they can get under your skin" I finished my drink and ordered another one quickly.

"I don't know.. What if it's some kind of trap for me? I will be fucked up if I will not give them the right information.. Goddam that night when they caught us" Namjoon almost finished his drink.

"You have never told me about that night, what happened?" I was curious. He looked at me again and lowered his head. Namjoon was super nervy and pretty tipsy by now.

"It's just nothing to tell about.. That night... I was living with Taehyung before, we were renting a flat together. He was surrounded by lots of bad people, they were using him, he just didn't want to believe me when I was telling that. Taehyung was partying at least 4 times during the week and when he didn't he was sleeping all day long because he was so wasted. You know, lots of girls, alcohol around.. and drugs.. Somehow he managed to pay the rent, to buy some good stuff, clothes and that's when I said the last words, it has to stop. He agreed with me. The next day I came back home at night and he wasn't there, I called him 4 or 5 times until he finally answered. Taehyung said it's all done and invited me to have a drink together. When I reached the place where he was waiting for me he was so happy and.. relieved? Taehyung was finally free. At least I was thinking like that. We were walking, laughing and talking. I felt like the old little Taehyung came back to me. He also said that one lifetime is not enough for him to pay me back as he didn't have lots of people to support him during this period and lead to better way. I saw he didn't want to be in a world like this, it wasn't really for him" Namjoon said.

"So what happened next?" I was listening carefully.

"We were going to the pub, as we planned and suddenly we saw the police car coming to us. We had no clue what was happening. They just stopped and target with their guns to us. They told us not to move, to put our hands up and to throw away any kind of weapons if we have like we would be the biggest criminals in the world. I have never expierenced something like this in my life. We did as they pleased. We were standing in front of their car and they were searching us. I only remember when they asked Taehyung 'what do we have here?' while he raised the tiny pouch full of white flour. I just couldn't believe my eyes. It was heroin. 'It's not mine I swear!!' Taehyung was shouting. While I was totally clean they brought both of us to police station anyway. That was the moment when they said Taehyung will be punished less if I will work for them" he sipped his drink.

"What a fucking pricks, they knew he is your friend and you couldn't say no" I almost broke my glass of drink.

"Then I understood how it works" Namjoon added looking very prostrate.

"Why Taehyung was lying to you that he ended this shit?" I asked.

"He really thought they did, but it turned out they are not that kind of people whom you can leave like that. Once you are in, you will never be out. So they hid those drugs inside Taehyung's jacket and let him go, then called the police and here we are" Namjoon said.
