illegal feels normal now

everyone knows stealing is a sin
and having fun while stealing
is an even bigger sin

jeongguk grabs a candy bar
shoves it into his bag, tosses me a
"what are you waiting for?"
with eyebrows raised

and i reach for the first thing i deem
worthy enough
to land me in a lock-up
a giant packet of LAYS

"why did i even put that on my list?"
i groan as we run down the road
out of the minimart
ducking our heads under our hoods
"what if someone checks the
CCTV cameras and catches us?"

jeongguk shrugs
unfazed in any way as if he hadn't
just broken the law

well
i bet he used to break it everyday
when he was active in his industry
murdering is a sin, people

"relax, exactly why i told you to
put on your mask"
he says as he pulls out a chocolate bar
from his backpack and starts chomping down on it hungrily

"this is crazy"

"it was your idea"

"damn it
i thought it would be dramatic
i didn't think i would actually do it"

"what's the point of making a list if you're
not going to complete it?
where's the fun in that?"

true, but i'm not going to admit it
not in front of this know it all
gosh if there is one thing that i'm
still annoyed at this idiot is that he's
going to be forever more intellectual
than i'm ever going to be

and yes
i am that dumb
my iq isn't that high really
i'm being honest

jeongguk hums, deep in thought
before driving out of the parking space
and onto the main road

daegu is colourful and lively
just like all the stories i've heard
the roads are bustling
lights flashing here and there

"yoongi hyung was born here
so he told me alot about daegu"
he finally says
i remember jeongguk telling me about yoongi
the man he looks up to in his team
"there's a lot of nice places i want to go here"
he sighs and adds later in a whisper
"i wish he knew"

"why can't you contact any of them?" i ask

he's silent for a moment
before answering in a hushed voice
"i'm afraid"

he pulls over in front of what looks like
a large crowd
gathering at the entrance of
a freaking nightclub

i shift uncomfortably in my seat
immediately recalling that i had
written it on my list
"we're going to be breaking another law aren't we?
we're both not legal yet"

which reminds me, we don't even have
proper driving licenses
and we're driving a stolen car
wait how many illegal things did we do already?

jeongguk lets out a squeaky laugh
and tilts his head to the side
"let's get your #11 done"

"but—"

"no buts"

i sigh in defeat and he reaches out to mess my hair
my heart stops for a split second
before resuming it's rapid beating
which is something that happens a lot these days

can you be anymore obvious?

"fine
but how are we going to get in?"
i point at the crowd in front of us
at this point we won't be able to get in until midnight

jeongguk seems to have an idea
he always does anyway
like i said
he's more of the intellectual between us

he smirks
and my breath hitches
"well it's your time to shine baby"
