A Criminal Romance | Vkook

Meet again

"Hey, guys."

"Joonie!"

Jungkook smiled at his hyung's giggle as Namjoon entered the cafe. 

The boy pulled out a seat from the table and sat down. 

Jimin eyed him, smiling. 

"Hey, baby", said Namjoon, leaning in to kiss the boy's cheek. "Hey, Jungkook." He turned to the aforementioned boy, "What's up?"

"Tae sucked Kookie's finger again!", said Jimin, smiling deviously. 

Namjoon chuckled. "Wow, Jungkook, you're lucky, aren't you?"

"That- that's not what we wanted to talk to you about, hyung...", said Jungkook, stuck between looking down and glaring at Jimin. 

The elder smiled, gently placing his hand on Jungkook's. "What did you want to talk about?"

"We've already made plans with the girls and told Chief Min!", said the younger, excitement taking over his face. 

"That's great! So what's the plan?"

"Tomorrow morning, Taehyung will pick me up and we'll head back over to Heeyeon and Hyojin's house. Then Chief Min will join us and help take everyone back to the station. All 12 of us will fit in three cars."

"So, we're leaving tomorrow?", asked Namjoon, pulling away with an excited expression on his face.

Jungkook nodded. 

"Isn't it more exciting than the mall?", asked Jimin in a half-teasing tone. 

"Definitely!"

The boy giggled, then turned to Jungkook. "Can you order for me if they come? I have to go to the bathroom."

"Sure, hyung", replied the younger as Jimin got up. 

"I have to go too", said Namjoon, following Jimin. 

Jungkook gave the two a look. 

"No, really! I'm not trying anything, I swear!"

"Sure, hyung...", said Jungkook, this time with a small smile. 

Jimin grinned at the elder. "Well, let's go then!", he said, dragging him off. 

Jungkook rolled his eyes as the two left. 

He picked up the menu and held it in front of his face, finally reading it. 

After a couple minutes of double-checking the orders and tapping his foot under the table in deep thought, he heard a familiar voice. 

"Hello. Are you ready to order your- Jungkook?"

Jungkook lowered the menu. "Taehyung? What are you doing here?"

"I...work here...", said the elder, gesturing to his apron. 

"Right...", Jungkook mentally slapped himself. 

"What are you doing here?", asked Taehyung. 

"I'm with Jimin and Namjoon! We're discussing the plans for tomorrow. But they're in the bathroom right now..."

Taehyung nodded, "Ah."

Jungkook smiled up at the boy. "You look nice. In those clothes."

And he did. At least to Jungkook. With his rolled up sleeves and apron tied around his waist, perfectly outlining his figure. 

The elder looked taken-aback by Jungkook's sudden confidence. "Thanks...", he said, rubbing his arm awkwardly. 

Hmm...he does seem embarrassed, thought Jungkook, maybe Jimin was right...
