"Cheon likes weaker boys, this guy has some bulk. Also he's super into Thai boys, ain't it?" It was a whole fetish thing he had where he sought out unfortunate Thai boys to be his lover. Probably why he trafficked so many in. "Jaebum is equally a dirtbag with his boys but at least he doesn't pick out the weakest target."
Namjoon didn't know if he wanted to actually see Minjun or not. He worried about him but he never knew what to say to him. "I'll go home, hyung. If you don't mind dropping me off." Namjoon bowed to Yoongi politely and then looked at him, knowing he had said more than he should but he was past the point of actually caring.
"I'm best with my family when I maintain distance. They disagree but it's true." Or maybe they didn't. Given the trial and all. "In general, I think, I'm better at a distance. It's kinda my charm. Less is more, y'know?"
"Yeah, they usually don't know any Korean. I don't know what that's about." Minjun shrugged his shoulders. Well, he could guess that Cheon wasn't in it for the conversations. "We can see whether this boy knows anything. Or if Jaebum cares about him at all, maybe we can use him for leverage. Damn. I really don't want a war on our hands right now, why are they provoking me?"
"I don't know," Yoongi disagreed,"I like you."
There was something about Namjoon. Perhaps because he was from the same background, but still so different. Involved but not really involved. And refreshingly free-spoken. "What's your address? Tell the driver, we will drop you off."
"I don't know but coming after me was a statement. They may have acted like it was just dicking around but he wanted to embarrass you guys." And Sangwoo hadn't let them at the expense of his face and body. He limped along and opened the door for his boss still, keeping close so he knew what direction he needed.
Namjoon gave his address and then sat back down, giving Yoongi a baffled look. "You like me? Weird. That never happens." It was rare. He didn't make friends, he was bad at socialising and he mostly just liked his insect farms and his alone time. Lots of alone time.
God, he hated himself. He was NOT good company. "Too bad we can't hang. My appa would be impressed, me making connections like this."
Minjun scoffed, angry and upset for so many reasons. He stared at the ground as they walked out, heading towards the car, where Yejoon was already getting loaded into the car. No one was walking close to them, so he said it, his voice quiet. "I was scared."
Yoongi shrugged his shoulders, further endeared by how baffled Namjoon was. He supposed he really wasn't used to making a good impression. There was something honest about Namjoon, he didn't seem to be holding anything back. "You could come by any time. Our families are at peace right now."
Once Yejoon was locked in the boot, Sangwoo frowned and looked at Minjun, not sure what he was getting at. He paused so they could be away from their men, trying to understand what Minjun was getting at. "Scared of what, Minjun-nim? You got nothing to be scared of, no one would have let you get hurt. Promise."
Namjoon considered the idea but he already knew what his father would say. Then again, maybe he could play it off like business. "Maybe I will. I can bring my ant farm." Wait. "That was a joke, I don't have an ant farm so don't worry... unless you're disappointed. Then I can bring ants, if you want? I have a nest in the garden."
"I don't give a fuck if I get hurt or if I die." Minjun frowned, unsure how Sangwoo wasn't getting that. He supposed it was a viewpoint problem. "I was scared for you, genius. I never like you in fights, sure as hell don't want to watch you in a rigged one."
"Maybe we'll save ants for the second visit." Yoongi's voice sounded deadpan, but that didn't really give away whether he was not joking or he was. His voice sounded like that most of the time, truthfully. "We have fish. At the bar I meet people at a lot." So, hey, there was that.
"I was fine. I am fine. You worry too much, you gotta stop that." His heart would always get him into trouble. Sangwoo smiled and gestured to his body, proud of how much he withstood. "I fight for a living, it hurts but I expect to hurt. That was a bit more than expected but I can handle it. Don't worry on my behalf. I got this, boss."
"Oh! I love fish. I love all aquatic life. Especially crabs but I hope they're not in your tanks cause then you'd eat them and it'd bum me out!" And he didn't like that. Yep, hardcore gangster who feared people eating crab. He really was unique. "I can come by... Monday?"
"Downplay it some more and I'll hug you. Tightly." Minjun huffed, because he couldn't actually hug him, not with his ribs like that, then he finally got inside the car, because he knew Sangwoo wouldn't go in before him. He was the boss.
"We don't eat any of the things in there... They are just kind of small?" Yoongi had honestly never thought about the aquariums that much, but hey. They made for a nice decorative element. That was all Hobi's thing, so he let Hobi deal with it. "Monday. Sure. Come by, say you are there for me. I'll catch up with you eventually."
Sangwoo finally sat down and groaned as everything just shifted and hurt more. He slumped against the car door and closed his eyes, finally able to relax and hurt. "You can cuddle me when I'm less thrashed, softie-nim."
"Cool. It's no rush but... it'll be fun. I guess. I don't know. I don't usually meet people so it could be grate, could be my nightmare come to life." Namjoon really had no filter. He noticed his house as they pulled up and stretched out, ready to go inside and see if his appa and brother had arrived yet. "Thanks for the life, hyungnim." He bowed to Yoongi and then smiled dorkily at him. "I'll see you soon."
