Chapter 16: Bullet

"No, go on." Jeongguk says and Taehyung hums, is about to start going through the music but then frowns.

"Help me here. This car is so fucking complicated." Taehyung groans and Jeongguk chuckles, shakes his head.

"Move your hand away." Jeongguk says and for a moment, Taehyung thinks these words were meaningless to be spoken at this moment because they don't fit and then he looks at Jeongguk who has told him to move his hand away so Jeongguk can put a song on---to avoid their hands touching.

He retreats his hand slowly on his lap but keeps looking at Jeongguk who in a moment, plays the song he hasn't heard before and then looks at the road again, a soft smile on his lips

"You can look at the playlist or just keep forwarding." Jeongguk explains and Taehyung tears his eyes away from him and nods.

"What is your taste in music?" Taehyung asks.

"Any song that is pleasing to hear, excites, makes me feel relaxed, sometimes happy or even sad---I listen to it. Can be any song really." Jeongguk answers.

"So you don't have a favorite song, artist---like a band or something---".

"No, Taehyung. I don't. Some songs are from the same artist and then there are other amazing ones from some other singer so choosing a favorite for me is impossible." Jeongguk replies and Taehyung looks at him in a bit astonishment because that's exactly how he is regarding music.

"Okay." Taehyung whispers, biting his lower lip to hide his smile.

"Judging by your reaction, I think you share the same thoughts." Jeongguk says and Taehyung lets out a chuckle.

"You are not that shit in observing I guess, Jeon Jeongguk." Taehyung says and Jeongguk proudly shrugs.

"You have no idea." He utters.

"I'm intrigued. Let's see if you really an expert as you say because I'll observe you from now on." Taehyung utters and his words make Jeongguk think...from now on he said. That means Taehyung's going back with him. No matter what.

"Sure, pretty boy." Jeongguk says and Taehyung huffs, pulls his mask up and looks away, making Jeongguk grin wider.

------------------

"Wow." Jeongguk hears Taehyung say behind him as they enter Hades club. Namjoon and Hoseok are behind Taehyung while Jeongguk walks infront of him.

"This is insane." Taehyung utters as he spins while talking in the interior of the club that's impossible to explain in words. It's like he's in a place out of this world.

"How do you even manage it?" Taehyung says as he walks a bit further to get closer to Jeongguk.

"I'll tell you everything and even give you a tour after we're done with Hyunjae." Jeongguk says over his shoulder and Taehyung tensed a bit. In his excitement, he momentarily forgot why he's here.

"Oh, yeah---okay. Okay." Taehyung clears his throat and nods.

"Taehyung, please act like your not here for the first time and don't spin to look at the ceiling like that. Please." It's Namjoon who says behind him and Taehyung chuckles nervously.

"Yeah, sure hyung." Taehyung says.

"Is he here already?" Taehyung asks.

"Yes." Jeongguk replies. They take the route that isn't crowded and surely it's reserved only for Jeongguk and the mafia gang members so the crowded area can't see and interact with the strictly secret business.
