"I don't care what I magnetise, as long as they love me." Jungkook teased in a sing song voice as he waited for Tae to spawn and then directed the camera towards the tank. "Come on, you can huijack the tank and I'll kill everyone you miss." This was a good outlet, it really helped him not to get as bored and worked up as he would have otherwise. He turned his head, glancing at Jimin and frowning.
"Nice earrings. Who the hell got you those?" They had to be proper goal. He paused the game and leaned forward as much as he could to get a look at them. Jimin blushed and turned his head, showing them off proudly.
"They were a present."
"Well, someone sure as hell likes you. They're expensive." He could tell, he had a good eye for it.
"How expensive are they?" Tae was curious, because he had noticed the earrings before and thought they were very pretty, but he lacked the proper knowledge to estimate price in any way whatsoever. He was still trying to get the hang of using money and sometimes Namjoon quizzed him about it. He was not doing well, anything more than a cup of ramen noodles kind of was outside of a zone he could properly imagine.
"Are they real? Like, gold? And... stones?" He wasn't sure what else that was. What stone was yellow? "How can you tell?" Hey, he liked to learn.
"I dunno, I can find out. Come here." Jungkook set his controller aside and Jimin crawled over, crouching in front of him. Aww, so cute. Such a good boy. He petted his head cause he felt like he had to. "Good boy." With a small laugh, he tilted his head and looked at them, scratched them a little and inspected the stone. "You just get a feel for it but you can tell by density, feel, you can check with magnets or for discolouration. This looks like real gold."
"... Wait, really?"
"Oh yeah. I can't be 100% but it has that look." He squinted and frowned at the stone. "If it's gold then that's a real gemstone. Probably Citrine but it could be yellow sapphire."
Jimin couldn't help but be shell shocked. Why had Yoongi given him such an expensive gift? This was the kind of gift someone gave their girlfriend, not some random guy!
Tae leaned in as well, because he was now curious to see. He put a hand on Jimin's shoulder, trying to see the same signs Jungkook was describing. "Wooow, real gold!" That was so cool.
"How much would that be?" He imagined gold had to be really expensive. He knew they always called cocaine the white gold, so it had to be worth a lot, just logically. Everyone knew that gold was fancy. "Like... a thousand?" Did those earrings cost that much? He knew Jimin was worth a lot, but damn.
"Depends on the purity and what you get from it. Sometimes it can be a hundred, sometimes a thousand, sometimes more." He pulled out his gun and ignored Jimin's little yelp, putting it up against Jimin's earrings to let Tae see the difference. "See, it's finer and sharper, it's a bit purer than this but not by a lot."
He put his gun away and huffed out a laugh, giving Jimin an amused look. "Who the fuck likes you that much?"
"Uh..." Was he supposed to say? Did it look dodgy if he didn't? What if he told Hobi and he thought he was whoring himself at work or something! "Yoongi-hyung."
"It's not like that!" Tae was quick to defend Jimin, since Jimin had told him the story before and he didn't want Jungkook to think that Jimin was selling himself or whatever. "He just came by the club and he gave them to Jimin, he said he saw them lying around, right?"
Wherever someone apparently saw really expensive earrings lying around, Tae certainly hadn't ever been anywhere like that. "He told him to wear them. That's all."
He decided to edit the story down significantly, because Jimin had described every moment about a hundred times, with a lot of sighs and either romantic or horny anguish, depending on his mood.
"Woah, will you two cool it? You're so defensive." Jungkook picked up the controller again and unpaused the game, figuring these two needed some time to relax. "Look, I believe you, Yoongi can be generous and sometimes he likes to give stuff away." He did not and that was not common, he was kind of curious what the hell was going on. He'd definitely ask Namjoon later. "I don't think you're stealing or whoring yourself out. You wouldn't be that dumb, right?"
"No." Jimin crawled back out of the way and dropped down by Tae, resting his chin on the other's shoulder. "I'm not. I like working at the bar, I like mixing drinks."
"I know he gave you that really cool watch." Tae had heard tell of it already and he looked at it now, pointing it out to Jimin before properly focusing on the game just in time and doing a very bad version of a stage whisper. Eh, whatever. "They say that it was over a hundred k!" He couldn't even imagine that much money, but he liked the idea of that being the case. Made him feel fancier just being here.
"You deserve it though. I'm still mad at you, Jungkook." He kept following Jungkook's instructions, actually quite good at video games. "I told you to take care of yourself and you went ahead and got shot."
"Like you care, dumbass." Jungkook laughed and stuck out his tongue, feeling a lot more at easy. He'd been sulking earlier, this helped a little. To hang out and have company who he didn't feel like he was holding up. Yoongi and Namjoon didn't have time to sit with him, even if he really wanted them too. These two definitely did. "I couldn't let the boss get hurt and besides, nothing makes you more untouchable than surviving a gunshot. I'm truly unstoppable."
"It must have hurt a lot." Jimin mostly just thought of Yoongi crying and it broke his heart a little. He did shuffle forward to look at the watch though. Jungkook pulled his sleeve back and smiled.
"It's a beauty, right? It's my reward for -- oh! Shit! That little bastard shot me. Go run him over, Tae." Stupid game.
"I totally care," Tae said in the world's most uncaring voice, partially for the joke and partially because he was focused on the game. He leaned forward and then just nodded when Jungkook told him what to do, smirking. "You got it, boss."
He was so taking him down. He took him down slightly more than he needed to, shooting repeatedly at what was definitely a corpse. Ah, well. "That's what I'm going to do with Cheon when we find him."
"Cheon is a dick, we'll get him. If we don't, Yoongi will. He wants that bastard dead. I don't know where the hell he's hiding. Probably hooked up with some chick and he's crashing at hers." Jungkook suggested as he shot down someone trying to sniper Tae and swiftly stole a nearby buggy, intent on running anyone nearby now. "I really wanted to kill him above all, even before he shot me. Like I told you during torture, he's a real scumbag."
"He really, really is." Jimin agreed. He had like Cheon at first, he was charming. And then he wasn't. His stomach still churn a little, wondering if Cheon was ever going to emerge. The sooner he was dead, the better. "I'm sorry he hurt you."
"He's the worst. I'm sorry that he was with you, Jiminie. I shouldn't have let him." No, there hadn't been anything he could have done and he had done everything possible or he might not ever have gotten to see Jimin again, but the thought still gave him the creeps anyway. "He's a huge jerk, but I bet he'll die soon. Min Yoongi wants him dead so badly and everyone knows it. When you were still in hospital, I think he only talked when it was about killing him."
Definite exaggeration, but he thought it was close enough anyway. He followed Jungkook in the game, then ran ahead to draw some people out so they could both gun them down. He loved this stuff, he couldn't wait until Namjoon would let him use an actual gun.
"Good, he should die." Jungkook leaned back in his seat, laughing as Tae took down some people, getting some hilarious shots in. "Oh man, he fell butt up. That's hilarious." He was easily amused, as most boys were playing these games. He meeled the body and turned to Tae, giving him an approving look. "You should come over more, we could game. I've been kind of bored lately."
And, to seal the deal, he picked the right words. "Shoot guns with me here while I heal so when I get better, we can shoot guns on the job."
Tae's eyes lit up, as happy as ever when someone actually wanted to spend time with him. The guns were an added bonus, no doubt. Of course, he already had to go that step further. "Do I get to shoot your gun?"
"Nice try but hell no. Stick to the in-game guns."
And with that, Jungkook friendly fired at Tae's feet and ran off in the other direction. "Come on and catch me, you little bitch." Oh man, Tae was actually pretty fun. When did that happen? Whatever.
