"The mask itches." Jungkook didn't put it back on, stubborn that he was. He did drop back down from an aborted attempt to sit up through, lying still and just looking around. He was hooked up to a lot of stuff right now. He tilted his head back and looked at his IV, frowning a little. "I dunno. Feels like a dream, I don't hurt... shouldn't I hurt? I got shot."
That was the drugs, working just fine.
"Is everyone okay? Is my dad okay? I don't want to scare anyone." Of course he did. Jungkook was a perfectionist, he hated anything that could count as a failing and he hated to let anyone down.

"Your dad is fine. I sent him home so he could sleep in a proper bed, these chairs aren't made for anyone his age." Or anyone period, certainly not for sleeping. Yoongi rubbed the back of his neck and looked Jungkook over. "You are on pain meds. Trust me, you'd be hurting otherwise." That much was a given. "You are expected to make a full recovery."
He had only gotten that diagnosis out of a doctor a little earlier this evening, but he was certainly holding on to it. "I expect you to make a full recovery."

"I will, don't worry. I want to. I don't like missing work." Even when he was sick, Jungkook dragged himself to bed. Hell, he used to haul his sad, pathetic body to work when he had the flu or lost his voice. He was not one to miss a day. "I should have been more careful, maybe I could have dived and knocked us both down. I could have done it so much better. I didn't mean to freak everyone out."
He really wished he could have had more time to think it through but he really didn't think at all. "How did the stand off go? I didn't get to see it."

"Jungkook. Both Hobi and Namjoon agreed that you saved me. It was the only way and you did it. I owe you my life. Stop deriding that. That's an order." Mostly he wanted to stop thinking about it at all, but obviously that wasn't an option. "You should think more about what you want as your reward. I owe you for this."
Yoongi leaned back, crossing his arms lightly. "We won. We got all of them except the man who shot you, but he's a dead man walking. We'll track him down."

"As a reward? Huh... you could finally sit down and watch a movie with me." Jungkook talked about what he watched all the time and Yoongi stayed indifferent. Well this time, he could make him care. Just a little bit. With a smug little smile, Jungkook laughed weakly and coughed again, pulling up the mask to take some oxygen in. Damn, laughing was hard. "I dunno, boss. You always hit a home run with my gifts. I like your taste and your judgement."
He'd been trying to copy both all of his life.
"The guy who shot me escaped? Bastard." That wasn't fair. "We'll get him, Yoongi."

"I'll make the time." He certainly didn't have the time, but who cared. Right now, he'd have promised Jungkook a trip to Disneyland if he had asked for it. He frowned when he coughed, worried and wondering if he should alert someone that Jungkook was awake, but finally he just nodded his head. "I already have something in mind for you. I want people to know that I'm proud of you." If he had to deck him out head to toe for that, he'd do it. He knew it meant a lot to Jungkook after all.
"Cheon. That's the guy. We are honing in on him. He's the same guy Tae was protecting Jimin from when you beat him up. Nasty asshole all around."
"Cheon. That's the guy. We are honing in on him. He's the same guy Tae was protecting Jimin from when you beat him up. Nasty asshole all around."
"I bet Tae and Jimin are thrilled to be able to be outside, huh?" They were such whiny brats about being locked up. He found them amusing in some ways, they had a carefree way of being that in some ways, he really envied. He wished he could be a bit like that, he just forgot how. He was too busy being the best to have that much fun. "Hopefully we'll get Cheon, I want to, ah, make him suffer."
He moved to sit up and pulled his wound, sinking back down and wincing. Nope, not ready yet. "I'm okay, I'm okay. Just testing."

"We'll get him and you can help make him suffer. He's a popular guy, even Namjoon wants to hurt him." Not surprising, between him shooting their Jungkook and how attached Namjoon was to Tae and Jimin. "The word is out. People know I want him." And he made it a habit to get what he wanted. Yoongi reached out to put a hand on Jungkook's shoulder, gently but insistently keeping him down.
"Tae and Jimin are working at Hobi's place. Haven't been there since they started, but I assume it's going well." He hadn't really been anywhere, any free moment he had was spent here. But Jungkook didn't need to know that.

"Namjoon wanting to kill someone? Man, you know they're a dick. He's always Mr Peaceful when it comes to conflict." Well, physical conflict. He could argue non stop if he wanted to but he couldn't pick a fight with just about anyone. Barring, apparently, this guy. "I don't get why he's so attached to those punks but that's Joonie, you know?"
Of course he wanted to help and take care of them. It was very Namjoon.
"You should go there, make sure they haven't trash the place. Get a drink for me." He wanted Yoongi to get out and have fun. To stop feeling bad about this. "You don't need to be here."

"I'm not just hanging out here. But I promised your father I would tonight, so shut up about it." It was a lot more time than he'd normally have for anyone, but he didn't care. This wasn't normal and while he couldn't put that into words, he could certainly act accordingly. "We are going to go after their club in a few days. Namjoon is getting me the blue prints. You are going to plan the operation with me, I want to avoid any casualties other than the pigs."
Which meant a lot of planning was necessary, but all the better. He wanted Jungkook to have a way to occupy his mind.

"I get to help plan it?" Jungkook had done that before a few times but it was rare and usually for training. This was a proper big time operation and his eyes lit up at the idea of getting to play a hand in it. His excitement bubbled and he couldn't help the smile on his face. "That'd be so cool, hyung! I can't wait. I want to screw them over so bad, we deserve their club. They're such scumbags."
And they shot him! He was kind of taking that personal.
And they shot him! He was kind of taking that personal.
"They know they are in deep shit for hurting you." And Yoongi wanted to ensure that Jungkook knew that too. That he knew that Yoongi was taking it personally, not because they had tried to shoot him, but because Jungkook had gotten hurt. His golden boy. He wanted to make sure people knew how important Jungkook was and he definitely wanted to show what would happen to anyone who hurt him. "We'll wipe them out. Take over their territory and their businesses."
Maybe Jungkook would want a club to run? Whatever, he could ask him some time.

Jungkook smiled and reached out his hand, wanting Yoongi to hold it. He looked at the other, a mixture of sadness and excitement, so many feelings and he just wanted to cry all over again. He really wasn't a crier though. "I didn't get to say it properly before but... I love you, hyung. Thank you for always having my back, I'll keep on trying to have yours."
There was no one he cared about more than Yoongi and Namjoon. They were his idols, they were all he wanted to be like and imitate. "You're the best boss I could ask for."

"I love you too." Yoongi said it and squeezed Jungkook's hand and he smiled briefly, wishing that he could tell him how he really felt, tell him that he never wanted him to do something like that again. But he knew he couldn't do that, so he just held his hand and sighed. "Go back to sleep, Kookie. I'll tell your father and Namjoon that you're doing better. Namjoon's been crying his eyes out."
"Tell them not to worry. I love them and I'm happy. I did the best I could." He smiled and closed his eyes, content to sleep away the time and not get too worked up. Soon he'd be better, then he could start moving. Until then, he put the mask back on and lay back, ready to fall back asleep.
It had been a long day, but Jungkook was finally released to go home, so Yoongi felt as if a weight had been lifted off his chest and he didn't even care how little he had been sleeping lately. He felt less guilt-ridden than he had in a long time, the way Jungkook's eyes lit up when he gave him the watch having at least been part of the reason. Not that he blamed him, it was expensive, looked stylish and was a guaranteed one of a kind piece, definitely something that he could show off.
Either way, it had improved his mood and so he finally stopped by Hobi's club before he'd head home and actually lie down to sleep properly. It had been a while.
He was spotted as soon as he walked in, Hoseok leaned over the bar and waved Jimin over. "Boss just got here. Get him a drink. He likes you." It was always a good idea to try and keep Yoongi in a good mood. Which was also why J-Hope walked right over and greeted him personally, so he could lead him to a table in the VIP section. He knew that Yoongi wasn't a people person.

"On it, boss." Jimin had really taken to mixing drinks and he had a good way of working out what cocktail for what mood and when. He played around with the drinks behind him, mixing up something that would not keep Yoongi too awake but might put him in a good mood. He went for an ujjujju melony and topped it with a whimsical umbrella. He thought it looked more fun!
Even though waiters were supposed to deliver drinks, Jimin left the other bar staff to handle it while he grabbed the drink and navigated his way through people to get to Yoongi.
"Yoongi-hyung!" Jimin bowed and then set down the drink, beaming brightly at him. "I made it for you. Like I said I would make one for you next time you came!"

"...thanks." What was that even? Yoongi looked at the drink and twirled the umbrella experimentally, but he couldn't hide his amusement. Especially since he wasn't wearing his shades today, so his eyes were visible. He turned them to look at Jimin. "Sit with me."
It wasn't a question, Yoongi knew that people couldn't refuse him in such matters, so why bother pretending? He gestured to the chair next to him. "How are you liking your new job?"

Jimin took a seat, knowing there was a little option otherwise and besides, he didn't really want to leave. He adjusted the waistcoat he had to wear while sitting down, spreading out his legs contently. He had to dress up to work at the bar and he kind of liked it, especially having shiny shoes. "I like it a lot. Hobi-hyung is really nice, he's teaching me things about the club. I'm good at it too and when the day is over, I can get some drinks in myself."
It was a pretty ideal job. He put his head in his hand and looked at Yoongi, smiling at him with an excitable charm. "Tae left to do gangster stuff with Namjoon but I like it here."

"I'm glad you like it." Yoongi lifted the drink and took a sip, smirking despite himself. He could not remember the last time he had drunk something this sweet, but whatever. It seemed like exactly the kind of thing someone like Jimin would make for him and there was a charm in that. "You make good drinks."
Not exactly his usual style, but maybe he could do with a change. "I hear Tae is doing well too." Namjoon had mentioned as much, though Yoongi thought that Namjoon had a blind spot where that kid was concerned, so he would see about getting a second opinion sometimes. "I gave Jungkook a watch like you suggested. He seems happy with it."

"Thank you, hyung. I'm so honoured. I hoped you'd like it." Jimin was very pleased that he'd won Yoongi over. He reached over and tweaked the umbrella in the glass, particularly proud of that part. "Oh, you got the watch? I bet Jungkook loved it! He'll be showing us it tomorrow, I'm sure of it. He's always eager to show off his shiny things."
Jimin got it, it was kind of a status thing, it was pretty important. The music behind them was getting a bit louder, it was that point in the night where things got wild. Jimin looked over his shoulder curiously. "We should dance together some time, hyung."

"I don't dance." It came immediately, because he didn't want any confusion about that part arising. He didn't dance. Really didn't go with the image. Maybe in private, though that seemed like a stupid concept in itself, so he didn't really see that happening either. "I'd rather watch you dance."
He had meant to say it dismissively and instead it came out suggestively. Almost sultry and he would have been positive that he couldn't sound sultry if anyone had asked him before this moment. Yoongi cleared his throat and put his hand in his pocket, retrieving a little box and setting it down in front of Jimin. "Here. You can have that."

"Everyone can dance, I promise you. I would love to show you, even if you can't but... I can dance for you. Anytime." Jimin winked, wanting him to know that he had no problem with how suggestive that came out. He was prepared to throw himself all in and dance for him if it helped him get more of his attention. He was already so attached to Yoongi and he wasn't sure why or how it had built up. He just knew he wanted to make him happy.
Frowning, he looked at the box and picked it up delicately. It was a gift, why was he getting it? People never got him gifts. Only Tae. Slowly, he opened it and peered inside. Oh! Oh no, it was pretty. "Yoongi-hyung! It's so beautiful! It's for me?"

"I can dance. In theory. Not that well, but I did some bboying back in the day. I just don't dance these days." Yoongi rolled his eyes at Jimin's flirting, not that he could blame him. He had unintentionally started it after all, since apparently he couldn't control himself around Jimin. "I'm sure you're a great dancer." He had no idea, but anyone would have to love watching that body move.
He leaned back so he could watch Jimin's reaction, loving how his eyes lit up. He shrugged his shoulders. "Might as well keep them. I saw them lying around." Saw them on display in a store, where they made him think about Jimin. Whatever, same difference. He reached out with one hand, touching Jimin's earlobe. "You have your ears pierced, so..."

"I do, Tae did it for me." He felt Yoongi's fingers on his ear and exhaled slowly, trying to contain any noises that'd leave him. He adored Yoongi's touch, it was so rare but so welcomed. He looked back at the box and eyed the fancy gift, not caring if he just gave him something that was lying around - it was still a gift.
"I will have to get you a gift, Yoongi-hyung." Jimin laughed playfully and blushed as he leaned into Yoongi and nuzzled him lightly against the shoulder, aiming for silly so he could get away with touching him. "You make me very happy, I owe you a gift."
