With short days and nights long, how another two days went by Jimin didn't know but what he now knows was that Taehyung doesn't go out in day time like he's some hunter of the night, he stays at home all day in his room or in his study doing no one knows what but once the sun goes down he crawls out of his den like demons do as though he's some vampire who will burn in the daylight, the number of thick curtains in his room was proving that point further and while talking to some guards Jimin find out it's a common rumor among people that Taehyung might be a vampire and Jimin had scoffed in their faces, thinking to himself;

he is a blood-sucking monster but not a vampire that would be too cool for him, a bat would be more suitable

But whatever monster Taehyung is, one thing is certain; Jimin has to change his duty in order to collect some information, and with Mingyu's help he succeeds in it without a problem as it turned Mingyu is not that bad of a guy and very easy to manipulate, they are on good terms after Mingyu offered his ears which Jimin was loving using to tell false stories about himself, he could add something most false fact about him and no one will dare to call him out for it and he enjoyed it a little too much, at least it was better than watching that plain wall for hours.

Jimin didn't let his mind remind him of whatever absurdity happened at Felix's party even if he had to shout at himself like a maniac to stop thinking about it, he had gaslighted himself into thinking that it wasn't a big deal and it was a nightmare that he should forget, a nightmare that is never going to be real. After dealing with his messed up head, he started working on his mission with more spirit, doing everything that could give him any information about Taehyung, and observing as much as he could. Still, there isn't much progress, however, he's assured that tonight is going to change everything

Tonight he's going out with Taehyung on a very first real mission, after titter-tattering with guards and staff he got to know Taehyung is going to seal a huge deal tonight which could give him some huge amount of information about this Kim clan and their mysterious Edward Cullen boss.

Jimin dressed in formal attire not repeating his mistake of standing out among these monochrome graveyards of people and Jungkook made sure of that with a long judging glare he spared to Jimin who was again shining like a diamond in mud thinking that he might wear something different again but after scanning his plain black suit with a white shirt and a black tie, he realized it's not the outfit that stands out but the man himself

Jungkook shakes his head sighing at his boyfriend who was known for hiring people by their looks which turned his security company into an entertainment company with idol-like-looking employees and workers. Shortly after Taehyung followed him from behind in the same outfit that irks Jimin's eyes who rolled them behind his head and when they came back they met with his boss' venomous eyes with a raised questioning brow, he quickly tore his gaze away flinching at the memories the little contact brought and Taehyung too didn't waste any more time staring at his bodyguard even when his eyes wanted to grow old standing while there and gazing at the replica of moon.

Jimin gets in the other car this time with other bodyguards trying to avoid any unwanted attention, he was being too serious about this night and looking forward to it and it was the reason he got teased by Mingyu who found the crease between his brow funny like he was focusing on something invisible in front of him, only if he knew what Jimin is focusing is the way to cut his boss throat he's been hired to protect.

The snow was falling gently on the bustling streets of Seoul city, blanketing the tall skyscrapers in a soft white layer, the cold night air was filled with the sound of car engines and the muffled chatter of pedestrians as they hurried to their destinations.
