"Can you meet me halfway?
Right at the borderline
Is where I'm gonna wait, for you
I'll be looking out, night n' day
Took my heart to the limit,
and this is where I stay
I can't go any further than this
I want you so bad it's my only wish"

Two weeks passed.

It's the middle of October now and Taehyung was ready to send a good night message to Jungkook but someone knocked on his door, interrupting his poetic thoughts that he was about to project on a text.

"Tae! Your dad is calling for you" Johnny yelled from the other side of the door and Mark opened the door that both he and Taehyung shared in between their rooms.

"Good luck dude" Mark gave him a thumbs up and Taehyung smiled at him, he opened the door and saw Johnny looking. . . Excited?

"I think it's time" Johnny nodded softly and Mark gasped.

"Finally" Taehyung heard him say and he tilted his head in confusion.

"What's going on?"

"Your father is giving you a new mission in Barcelona, Spain! You'll see him again" Johnny explained and Taehyung opened his mouth in an oval shape while nodding.

"Kim was taking too long to give you this mission, he'll probably tell you that you need to oversee a robbery mission or something" Mark commented.

"There's no telling Jungkook will be able to travel all the way to Spain though, he lives in New York" Taehyung frowned and Johnny snickered.

"Oh we should tell him."

"Tell me what?" Taehyung turned to look at the tall male.

"We hacked Jungkook's bank account and deposited a good amount of money there" Mark smiled sheepishly.

"You did what?!" Taehyung almost shouted and covered his mouth before he got too loud "how much?"

"$2,500" Johnny whispered and Taehyung closed his eyes.

"That's a lot."

"We're rich Tae, it's fine" Mark brushed it off "all you gotta do is tell him."

"Thank you" Taehyung whispered softly and his eyes started glimmering with tears "so much."

"Aww come here you big cry baby" Johnny said and hugged Taehyung close while Mark joined in.

"What would I do without you guys?" Taehyung mumbled.

"Probably do some stupid shit, even more stupid than what we're doing now" Mark snickered.

Taehyung gave them one last hug and walked over to his father's office. They were right. He is going to Barcelona, but he's doing this mission alone. Johnny and Mark are staying behind.

And now he's wondering how he'll ever keep Jungkook safe without their help.

...

Meet me halfway at La Barceloneta when the sun meets the sea in the horizon of the sky. October 11, Spain.

"It's just for a week" Jungkook whined softly with big eyes while looking at Namjoon, Jin, and Baekhyun standing in front of him with crossed arms and skeptical faces.
