The Dark Pheonix

Friend of a Enemy

Namjoon was bracing himself for this exact question. His eyes flicker to Sang Min, whose head is now hanging low as he fills his glass with soju.

"It's just, Hyung & I are becoming too different nowadays.
I can't quite understand his decisions now, and nowadays he doesn't even ask me before taking important decisions."

Sang Min sighs dissspointed but doesn't speak anything.

Namjoon takes a sip of his beer again,
"Sorry!!! I don't mean to be harsh. I know you still work for him and support him....."

Sang Min cuts in,
"Who said I support him!?" He glances quickly at Namjoon and then takes a sip of the alcohol.

Namjoon looks up, not forgetting to veil his face in utter shock,
"Don't you???"
His eyebrows are raised, eyes wide.

"Absolutely no." There is a significant pause as Sang Min looks up straight at him,
"See, sometimes we need to do stuffs just to save ourselves."

Namjoon nods,
"I agree."

"So......" Sang Min asks,
"What you plan to do now???" He asks so carefully.
There is a little drawl in the words.

Namjoon looks straight, and without faltering,
"Replacing Min Yoongi."

Namjoon didn't miss the twitch in the corner of Sang Min's lips.

Right now, Yoongi is sitting in the top floor of Black Nebula.
Somehow it's kinda very weird now.
This very place, this very place where everything started.

A voice pulls him out of his train of thoughts,
"Sorry to be a late."

"It's okay. I am not fond of waking up early either."
Yoongi responds to the younger,
"So tell me." He urges.

"Patience hyung, patience." Taehyung says without humour as he places some files on the table between them.

"If you don't want to choke on that very patience...."

"Okay calm down, okay??? I know you are not in very best moods nowadays."

"Good..."

"So the suggestions is, We are trying to get Carlos for a deal." Taehyung says, arms resting on his knees as he leans a bit forward.

Yoongi cocks an eyebrow,
"Are we sure????"

"About what!?"

"The whole Changretta situation!" He shruggs.

"Does it actually matter anymore???" Taehyung leans back, now resting against the back of the plush armchair.

Yoongi frowns as he looks at him,
"What do you mean!? Isn't that the whole point??"

"Revenge or not,
Carlos is one of the persons who hurt him in the past, and if given chance he will do that again. He has hurt him multiple times.
Jimin never deserved those."

Yoongi is silent for a moment.
It's true, he knows it's true.

But Taehyung fills in for him,
"He is the one who helped Jae Jun to trace his family, not to mention how."

Yoongi knows.
It's Andrea.
Jimin never really talked about those incidents after that day in Palermo.
But he nods.

"And he is the one whose people nearly killed him in the first place when he was in US."

Yoongi knows that somewhat.
His nightmares, his disgust over himself.
Even though he keeps it tucked in a corner, he knows that.
And he has seen some instances where it spills out.
Yoongi sighs deeply.
