"Mr. Jeon, it's good to see you."

Jungkook looks at you with a small hint of amusement in his eyes. However, most of his expression shows anger rather than the amusement he's known for. A few hours after Yoongi's phone call, you're sitting in your office after requesting Jungkook's presence. Unfortunately, you kind of need him. He's the only one who can really do anything without getting reprimanded by the High Council. 

Although Jungkook primarily works for Yoongi, he's a free agent. He's an assassin. If he gets a contract, he can bend the rules a little. High Council members won't punish the assassins, only the ones who put out the hit. Despite this, assassins aren't above the law by any means; they'll still get full punishment on other rules such as doing business on neutral grounds. Luckily, you think Jungkook is smart enough not to do that.

Your office feels cramped today. Maybe it's the mood, or maybe it's Jungkook's presence, but it feels tighter than usual. Granted, your office is small. It doesn't help that Jimin's present as well, him staying silent through it all as he glares at the back of Jungkook's head. The two people in the room make the tiny space feel worse. You mentally hope it'll all be over soon. 

"I wish I could say the same, Miss L/n, but I'm still kind of bitter over your decision to go after Mr. Min."

"What's wrong, want me all to yourself?" you ask.

His left eye twitches, but he avoids the question. "I don't quite understand why you're here. Haven't you heard the news? Eladio has been killed."

"By Yoongi, yes, I'm aware." Jungkook's eyes bulge, but she doesn't give him time to react. "That's exactly why I asked for you. This is your mess, not mine. You're going to clean it up."

Jungkook looks over his shoulder, eyeing Jimin, who stands by the doors. "Are you seriously okay with this? With her being with Yoongi? With me being here?" Jimin doesn't answer. You'd be lying if you said Jimin isn't making you proud right now. He's a great right hand, probably the best you could ask for. Jungkook scoffs and turns back to you. "And what about you, sweetheart? How are you holding up knowing your beloved boyfriend is going to die soon?"

"He won't... because you're going to kill the High Council."

Even Jimin seems surprised by that. Jungkook breaks out laughing. "Are you fucking serious?"

"I am. The only way to get out of this mess is to eliminate the High Council. Getting rid of Madam Avasa will lead to chaos. They won't be worried about Yoongi anymore."

Jungkook leans forward and folds his hands together. "Why would I do this for you? Hell, what makes you think I could even do this? Killing a High Council member, let alone all of them? That's near impossible. It's insane that one even got killed."

"Then you better get to work, Mr. Jeon. There's only so much time we have."

"I value my life. If I kill the whole High Council, they won't care that I'm an assassin doing a job. They'll kill me too."

"No, they won't. They may be borderline animals, but hopefully if you're as good at your job as you claim you are, then you shouldn't be discovered. You could stay off the map entirely."

Jungkook absorbs your words, then he starts laughing again. "You're fucking insane, princess." Jimin comes over and grabs Jungkook by the shoulders, throwing him out of the chair. You're not surprised Jimin's angry. He has every right to be. Jungkook rolls on the ground and looks up at Jimin with a glare.

"I told you not to fucking call her that!" Jimin says in a shout.

"I'll call her whatever the hell I want to call her, and to me, she's princess," Jungkook slowly says with a smirk. Just like that, the room changes from heated to furious. You can feel Jimin's eyes change in that moment. And, seconds later, Jimin's on the ground punching Jungkook.
