"Min Jungkook, you are not going out there."

Yoongi shouted in pure rage inside their small home, he had a backpack slung over his shoulder before he slammed it down onto the floor and locked the front door. "Don't you even think about putting yourself at risk tonight."

Jungkook sighed frustratingly, shrugging on the black leather jacket that was handed down by his older brother. He had wore a black hat and mask till Yoongi yanked it off him. "Look around, Yoongi hyung! Do you see any paychecks being tossed around? Do you see any funerals being paid, right now? We need this heist. Seokjin hyung said so too-"

"You're gonna let a drunk man give you orders?!" Yoongi screams, grabbing the duffle bag from Jungkook - who held a strong grip on it and tugged it back. "I'm your older brother, and I'm saying you stay home. You aren't apart of the gang, and you will never be. Stop trying to be! You're a kid-"

"Yeah, I'm a kid!" Jungkook shouts back, snatching the bag from Yoongi's hand roughly. "What about it? Afraid I might be a better gang member than you, huh? Afraid I might just shoot bitches up, huh? I know where I'm shooting my bullets, brother, and I'm going to shoot a bullet through that lock if you don't let me pass. Stop trying to protect me, I can protect myself. I'm in the gang now, you can't stop me."

Yoongi brought his hand up and smacked a bright red mark against Jungkook's left cheek before shoving a finger to his chest. He grits his teeth angrily, shoving himself to his face and glaring with lightening in his eyes. "I did not fucking raise you this way," Yoongi seethed, "Everything I did was for this family. I joined the gang for this family. I sacrificed everything for you to grow up properly. I let Jjang teach you how to fight for self-defense and here you are trying to act all tough knowing how a simple gun works. Don't think just cause you know a couple gang members, you're suddenly the shit."

"Raise me?" Jungkook let out a sickening laugh before pushing Yoongi's hand away, glaring back fiercely and shoving him by the shoulder. "You didn't raise me. Nobody did. You were never home, Mama's never home. It was only me with the empty poor house, Yoongi hyung. No paychecks means no money for anybody, and we're running low too. I'm doing this heist for us. For this family. I'm doing this for our family too."

Jungkook pushed pass his older brother, grabbing the empty backpack beside the coat hanger. Putting on his hat, and lifting his dust mask up from his chin.

"Now if you excuse me, Seokjin is waiting for me in the car out front."
