A Lamb Circled by Wolves(Jimin-Centric)

Chapter 26

Once Seojoon furiously left the room, Seokjin turned to his father with his eyes narrowed and his arms crossed.
     "Father are you sure about this? Joon is right, I'm too young to be the leader of a mafia!" he said with a frown. "I don't think I'm cut out for this..."Seojin scoffed and rolled his eyes.
     "Seokjin, don't be stupid. You don't have a choice in this. Now leave, I have important business to discuss..." his father shooed the young boy out. Jin growled under his breath and stormed out, bumping into Namjoon in the process.
     "J-Jin! Hey you're here e-early!" the taller alpha stuttered, nervously smiling and bringing the german shepard hybrid in a tight hug. Jin raised an eyebrow but hugged Namjoon nonetheless. "So what were you and your dad talking about? You seem...angry right now.."
"Damn right I'm angry! Apparently I'm the new leader of Bangtan..." Jin growled. Namjoon widened his eyes.
"Uh congrats hyung, but I thought Seojoon was supposed to be the leader?"
"Nope. My dad seems to not think he's good enough. He doesn't think Joon is responsible enough for the job."
"Oh wow..."
     "Yup. So now I have to learn about being the leader when Seojoon has been learning for years."
     "That must suck majorly. Now I have to go. Great seeing you!!" Namjoon grinned and quickly ran away, leaving Seokjin dumbfounded.
     "Oh yea he's definitely hiding something."

     Once Namjoon was away from Seokjin, he sighed in relief and walked to his room. He knocked three times and waited. The door suddenly whooshed open and he saw wide doe eyes.
     "Namu hyung!" the kid smiled, showing his cute bunny teeth. Namjoon smiled and the kid let him in.
     "Hi Kook. Where's Taetae?" Namjoon asked once he was inside his room.
     "He's in the bathroom. He really likes the huge tub you have." Jungkook replied, waddling over to the bathroom. "He keeps turning the water on and off." The bathroom door opened and another kid walked out with a quiet giggle. Namjoon cleared his throat and the older kid basically jumped out of his skin. He turned around and looked up at the alpha.
     "Hiii Namu hyung!" the child nervously smiled. "Whatcha doing..."
     "What were you doing in my bathroom Taehyung..?" Namjoon asked with an amused smile on his face.
     "I-I wanted to take a bath again. It was really cool..." Taehyung fiddled with his fingers and pouted.
     "Did you flood the bathroom again or anything?"
     "No hyung! That was only one time! It was fine! I didn't do anything this time!"
     "Good. I don't want you guys to get caught here.."
     "Namu hyung, how long are me and Kookie staying here? I don't wanna go back to the streets..."
     "No! No. Like I told you guys, y'all are not going back there. I'm gonna take care of you guys until my dying breath, so don't worry ok?" the two boys grinned widely and hugged Namjoon's legs.
     "Thank you Namu hyung!" they exclaimed in unison. The two boys ran back to the bathroom and Namjoon smiled fondly at their retreating figures. And that's when someone suddenly knocked on his door. His eyes widened and he ran over to the door. He only opened it a smidge and that's when he saw Yoongi, Jin, and Hoseok waiting at the door.
     "Hey Joon! Wanna hang out with us?" Hoseok asked once the younger alpha opened the door. Namjoon shook his head and replied,
     "Nah. I'm feeling p-pretty sick. Not tonight. I-" but Namjoon was interrupted by Seokjin, who suddenly pushed his door open.
     "Cut the bullshit Joon. We know you're hiding something in here. No need to lie to us. We've been knowing each other since we were kids." the oldest alpha walked in, with Yoongi and Hoseok right behind him.
     "Hey! You can't just walk in here! Get-"
     "Namu hyung! The water is really hot! Taetae hyungie did it wrong!" Jungkook waddled out of the bathroom stark naked, not noticing the older boys in the room until Yoongi cleared his throat. Jungkook looked up and squeaked in surprise, and he ran back into the bathroom. "Taetae hyung! Namu hyung brought randos over!" the three older dog hybrids looked over at Namjoon, who avoided eye contact with them.
"Care to explain what we just saw Namjoon?" Seokjin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Uhhhhh..." Namjoon seemed to be out of words to say, unable to keep eye contact with anyone.
"Did you get someone pregnant Joon?" Hoseok snickered. "And she gave the kids to you?"
"No you fucking idiot! I am the same age as you dumbass! I am physically unable to get anyone pregnant!" Namjoon hissed.
     "Well explain this...'situation' to us Namjoon." Yoongi rolled his eyes and sat down on the mountain dog hybrid's bed with a tired huff.
" Fine. Do you guys want the long version or the short version?" Namjoon asked, sitting down next to Yoongi and leaning his head on his thighs.
"Short." Jin sat beside Yoongi and Hoseok sat beside Namjoon, waiting for the younger's story.

"So basically these kids tried to take your wallet but you caught them. They ran away so you wouldn't kill them and you followed them without them
knowing, only to find out that they were abandoned by their individual parents and the two found each other and decided to stay together. So you took food from the mansion to give to them, until you finally asked them to stay with you. Huh, I missed a lot when I was in Japan..." Seokjin snorted and Namjoon nodded.
"Yup. And I want them to stay with us. I think they'll be great assets to you once you are leader and they are more grown up. They are street smart and we are not. They know more about that and they could help you in the long run." Namjoon convinced and Jin rolled his eyes exasperatedly. They heard the bathroom door quietly open up and they turn around to see the older kid popping his head out the door.
"Namu hyung, will they hurt me and Kookie?" he nervously asked, eyeing the older alphas warily.
"Of course not Tae. These are my best friends and they won't hurt you two, I promise." Namjoon replied. Taehyung nodded and went back inside. He fully opened the door and the two kids walked out holding hands. "Guys this is Jin, Hoseok, and Yoongi. And this is Jungkook and Taehyung."
"Nice to meet you." Jungkook and Taehyung said in unison, bowing down at the same them.
"Likewise kid." Yoongi smirked. Hoseok waved to the kids and Jin just tilted his head a bit.
"Hoseok, do you mind going to the store and getting these two some clothes and stuff. I'll go get them a room to share. Is that ok with you two?" Seokjin got up from the bed and bent down. He sat on his heels, face to face with Taehyung and Jungkook. Taehyung looked at Namjoon behind Jin, who nodded with a smile. So Taehyung agreed. Hoseok got up whopped excitedly. Jin raised an eyebrow at him. "Aren't you supposed to be gone now?"
"Sir yes sir! I'll go now." Hoseok grinned and skipped out of the room. "By guys! I'll see you later!" Seokjin sighed fondly.
"Walking sunshine..."

Seojoon looked to the ten men in front of him and smirked.
"So you guys remember the plan?" he asked and the men nodded.
"Yes sir Kim." they replied.
"Good. Don't fuck this up or you'll be next on my list. I want that old man gone from this Earth. He'll regret not making me the next leader of Bangtan....."

Sighing, Seokjin left the room with Yoongi and Namjoon behind him.
"So what now boss man? Can they stay with us?" Namjoon asked hopefully. Seokjin sighed and smiled.
"I can't say no can I? I haven't grown cold yet, so what the hell. Those two can stay." he replied.
"What do you mean you're not 'cold yet' Jin?" Yoongi crossed his arms.
"Before my father was the leader, he was a nice man who treated us and our mom right. When he was appointed as leader from our grandfather, he turned cruel and dangerous. He would blatantly cheat on out mom in front of her and he would....beat us. I don't wanna turn out like that, like my dad...." Seokjin felt the tears in his eyes and he blinked them away.
"Don't worry Jin hyung. We won't let you become like that. You're not like your dad, or your brother. You're you, Kim Seokjin, our best friend." Namjoon grinned determinedly and punched Jin's shoulder. "Now I have to go and check on those two and make sure they won't flood my bathroom like last time." Namjoon waved goodbye and went back in his room.
"Like Namjoon said, you're not like those disgusting bastards. I'm leaving too; gonna go and eat in the kitchen." Yoongi saluted sarcastically to Jin and sauntered away. The two walked their separate ways and Seokjin went back to his room to think over things. He opened the door and loudly sighed in relief at his room.
     "Ahhh I missed this so much! I am so fucking jet lagged right now, I might just sleep for years and years!" the alpha exclaimed, ripping off of his boots, pants, and shirt and flung himself onto his bed, not wanting to take a shower right now. "I'll take a shower later..." he got under his covers and laid his head on his pillow. Slowly, his eyes closed and he fell asleep, not knowing of the things that happening while he's asleep.
