A Criminal Romance | Vkook

Lunch and a disagreement

Jungkook climbed out of the car and stepped onto the roadside.

As he turned left, then right, all he saw was the same stretch of green-brown scenery. 

A door closed behind him and he turned to see Jimin walking around the car. 

"We're really out in nowhere now", said the elder, approaching him, "It feels so different."

Jungkook nodded, looking towards Yoongi's car parked in front of Jimin's. The doors were all still closed.

For a few seconds, the only noise around the two was the wind, coming and going, rustling leaves here and there.

Then another car door opened. 

It was Namjoon's, causing a sound that made the two turn in the elder's direction.

"Hey, guys!", said the boy, as he stumbled onto the ground, shutting the door again.

"Hi, Hyung."

"Joonie!" 

Jimin hurried over to hug the elder. 

"Where is everyone else?", asked Jungkook. 

There was something about the still air and the minimal noise that made him uncomfortable.

"Taehyung's trying to fix something with the arm rest, and the two girls are giggling about something", said Namjoon, pulling away from Jimin.

"Can't they giggle out here?", asked Jungkook, "I'm hungry."

Jimin nodded, "Me too."

"Jungkook, can you see what's going on with Chief Min? Jimin and I can unpack the food in the meantime." 

"Okay...but..."

Jungkook trailed off, unsure of how to voice his concern.

"Don't worry", said Jimin, walking back towards the younger. He whispered into his ear, "I'll point to where you are if your boyfriend decides to come out."

Jungkook smiled. 'Boyfriend'...now it's really true...

He headed off towards his boss' car, immediately knocking on Hyojin's door on arrival, his hunger taking over.

The girl slowly opened the door. 

"Oh. Hi, Jungkook. We were in a disagreement about where we're all going to sit when we eat. See, I don't like the idea of dirt getting in the food, so I voted for not the ground...except Sir Min here has a thing about eating in the car."

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "I don't like food getting in my car. Call it what you want."

"Look, guys, everyone's really hungry. How about whoever wants to eat in the car can eat in one of the other two, and the rest eat outside?"

"Jungkook, I'm sure you understand that Jimin's car is also a police car and thus, still belongs to the station."

"Well, what about Tae's car-"

"What about my car?"

Jungkook turned to see the elder standing behind him. 

Awkward as the moment may have been, the boy couldn't help the smile forming on his face.

"Hi, Tae. We were talking about where to eat the food, and I suggested your car for those who don't like the ground. Since the other two are police cars..."

"Mm." The elder walked closer. "And did you ask how I feel about that?"

Jungkook kept smiling, albeit more shyly than before. "I...I was planning on it..."
