18| peace and prejudice

The gunshots pierced the air around the man as he ran across the alleyway, taking refuge behind the red toyota across the shop he had been shopping for a ice cream in.

"Give up Kim, if not us, somebody is going to find you and shoot your brain out,", it scarred him that the people already knew his name, he was sure he had been pretty discreet while doing the job his boyfriend had requested of him. 

He wondered if the entire of Seoul underground knew his name or if these guys were the only ones, they were from a pretty government interlocked organisation so he wouldn't be really surprised; he wondered why he didn't just hack through their subsidiaries instead of their head quarters which had been owned by the feared mafia for almost 3 decades now, maybe he really should've aimed at the smaller gangs and subsidiaries instead of their main centre.

He fished out his phone from his loose sweatpants, trying to remain quiet because he was sure he had run fast enough fr them to not know where he had scurried of to, which was proven quiet difficult since he was still crouching.

He dialed his boyfriend's phone number, wondering why the attackers had stopped gun fires, they could just wake up the whole alleyway with their guns to light the alley and spot him. He wiped away the sweat that had collected on his brows with a finger as he held onto his phone to his ear, muttering pleas for his boyfriend to pick the goddamn phone up.

"Hyung?", he screeched and crashed into the car when a hand placed itself on his shoulder.

He turned back to look at who had surprised him, ready to pounce on whoever it was going to be because they would probably have a gun when he didn't but was faced with pink converse clad feet, followed by light blue jeans and a ridiculously oversized pastel pink and blue stripped full sleeved polo. He hurried his way towards the face of the person he believed couldn't be his attacker, because how? to come face to face with a much more older but still baby looking Jeon Jeongguk.

"Oh, it really is you, but um, why are you kneeling hyung, are you playing hide and seek?", the boy squealed, smiling ear to ear, and he huffed, standing up and dusting his sweats to notice how he was still over a head taller than the boy he had been crushing throughout his school years, who still looked just a pretty, god the world really was unfair, huh?

He scolded himself mentally, reminding himself that he had a lovely boyfriend now before he spoke a quiet hi, noting his surroundings and seeing that his attackers weren't anywhere in sight. He sighed in a breath of relief, he was scared what he would do if they tried to hurt Jeongguk.

"Are you angry with me or trying to ignore me hyung?", the boy probably had mistaken his scanning eyes as his ignorance, so he hurried to look back at him.

"Oh, no no, Gguk, I was just trying to see where the cat I had been chasing ran off to.", the boy looked at him incredulously, like he didn't believe Namjoon's lie, after all, Jeongguk probably just looked immature, he couldn't still be the dim witted baby he had been back in school right?

But he was proven wrong when he squealed and kneeled down instead to look under the car and pouting. "I think it ran away hyung, you're still very clumsy, huh?", the boy spoke in a constant pout that seemed a bit exaggerated but still cute enough for Namjoon to coo silently.

"What are you doing here Ggukie? It's late, I didn't know you lived in this neighbourhood."

He had checked all the houses and looked into the people of his neighbourhood to be safe from the gangs for atleast the 6 hours he slept and hadn't seen the boy ever since he moved in this area, so it surprised him.

"Oh, I don't live here anymore, I used to when we came to Seoul, I live with my boyfriend now.", the boy blushed at the end of the sentence. Typical highschool Jeongguk.

"Oh, that must be nice.", he felt slightly jealous that the boy he had loved for so long already had a relationship stable enough for him to live with his boyfriend already, he was barely getting over the same boy with the help of his boyfriend, but I mean, it is Ggukie, every man would fall weak for him.

He realised he had called the boy by his petname even in his thoughts, proving that he still felt atleast protective towards him.

"Hyung,", he looked at the boy again, who had a bag clutched in a pawed palm and maybe he just melted slightly at the sight. "Yeah?"

"Are you here to get ice cream? They have the best strawberry and mint flavours here, you probably know since they are your favorites but yeah,", the boy blushed again when he noticed how Namjoon had been staring at him, the last part of his sentence nothing but meek squeaks.

It warmed him how he still remembered his favourite flavour after 3 years of not seeing eachother when his boyfriend did't after knowing eachother for over 2 years now.  

"I am here to buy ice cream, but the cat distracted me-", he was jostled by the hand that landed on his  back. "Hyung, I have the ice cream at home, why don't you come over, I'm sure you'd enjoy my boyfriend's company,", the boy giggled.

The boy looked so adorable, Namjoon almost forgot about how going to his place could lead attackers there too, he was being constantly tracked afterall. Once couldn't be problematic, right?

So here he was, sitting in Jeongguk's apartment that surprised him with how huge it was but how impersonal it looked, it looked uunlike Jeongguk who had the habit to leave around small articles of clothing or hair accessories and make up lying around the house or atleast his bedroom, maybe his boyfriend was more of a neat freak.

"Joonie, your ice cream is  melting, oh Tae is here,", the boy stood up from besides him on the couch where they had been watching a movie he could't care about when the boy of his dreams was really sitting besides him.

He turned to look at the man that had entered the room, he was tall, almost as tall as him and had long curly locks that looked untamed unlike his undercut, honestly, anything to prove that he was anyway close to Jeongguk's type flew out of the window.

"Hi baby, who is that-", the man was cut off by a wet kiss from the younger boy who was standing on his tiptoes, balancing himself by clutching onto the man's jacket lapels.

"Tae, that's Namjoon hyung, my friend from Busan I always talk about.", they made their way towards him on the couch and it kind of scared him how perfect he look in the tight fit they were standing in, bodies pressed together in a hug. Feels like I'm watching a soft porno.

He stood up to shake hands with the man who was staring at him with a slightly offended gaze as if he had made his boyfriend cheat, but he blamed it on maybe the man who was introduced as Taehyung being overprotective of his boyfriend, nothing worrisome. Instead it was worrying how perfect he was, rich, educated and good-looking with a stable job. I really had no chance, huh?

"Tell me, Namjoon, what job do you do?", shit he didn't think this through, he looked up at the man, trying to bullshit him somehow but it seemed as if every lie that flowed out of his mouth was clearly a lie Taehyung was aware about, this is going to be  a long night.

___ 

okay, to clear this up, Taehyung works under the cover as a mafia head but his job description shows a government related business legally, he was a heir to something his grandfather had started, not a born psychopath so yeah. Namjoon is a detective and good with hacking, he had hacked into the main head quarters instead of the subsidiary branches, he knows he is going to be constantly under watch and be try to be killed.

i hope this makes it clear, happy jimin day!!!
