Yoongi parked the car a couple blocks away from the location. The two men got out the car and walked down the street that was aligned with modern middle class houses that had two stories and fences around them. It was more luxurious than their own neighborhood - the streets were clean of clutter and streetlights actually worked. The area was quiet too since it was late.

Namjoon spotted Seokjin's car a few streets ahead of them, and looked in. They had already left, and the car was locked. Yoongi clenched his jaw.

"... Hey, don't let the frustration get to you, okay?" Namjoon says, using his phone as a flashlight to look into the car before turning it off. "It's alright to be angry, but let's find them first."

Yoongi took a deep breath with tensing shoulders before nodding, the anger still glinting in his eyes, but he kept it inside ever since the car incident. Yoongi pulled up his phone and glanced at the text message of the location Jimin sent earlier.

The two men turned the corner before spotting the all-black clothed intruders grabbing onto the brick walls with gloves. One had crouched and propped his hands up as the other prepped to use them as a boost over the wall.

Yoongi shoved his phone in his pocket before stomping over and grabbing the jumping one with the collar of his shirt. Namjoon watched flabbergasted as Yoongi buckled his knee and threw the person over his shoulder with a loud growl before slamming them onto the front of a car behind them.

The car alarm went off with flashing lights. Namjoon's jaw dropped slightly at the shorter man's strength. He was too shocked to be worried about the attention they were about to draw to themselves.

The thrown man took off his mask and grunted in pain, his body leaving a dent on the car. "W-What the fuck?! Yoongi-hyung?!"

Jungkook's eyes squeezed shut in pain as he forced himself up with his elbows, his back stinging with pain flooding over his spine.

Yoongi grabbed his mask and ripped it apart with one tug before tossing it to the sidewalk. "Go with Namjoon to the car now. I'm pissed off at you, and that little bitch over there." He pointed to Seokjin, who had already torn off his mask in surprise of the arrival. "If you wanna start acting disrespectful toward Mom and I, then I'll show you how real gangs settle their problems. I want you to go home, tell Mom what you were about to do tonight - and don't even bother trying to fucking sugarcoat it, Jungkook - then apologize like the good boy we've been raising you to be. I want to see you doing your homework when I get home."

"Are- Are we not going to talk about how you fucking threw me into a car?!" Jungkook shouted. "I told you what we were going to do tonight, and I told you it was for this gang. I deserve some fucking respect too-"

"Jungkook, language," Namjoon scolded.

"Oh, piss off, Namjoon!" Jungkook shouted angrily, "I'm just-"

"Stop shouting!" Seokjin spoke up, "Jesus christ, you're gonna bring the whole neighborhood on us and turn that car alarm off!"

Namjoon walked over and grabbed Seokjin and Jungkook's duffle bags before rummaging around and grabbing a screwdriver. He walked over to the driver's seat and broke open the window with his elbow, unlocking the door before unscrewing the bottom dash and ripping out the wires. Without a word said, the car alarm quiets down and the lights die out. He slammed the screw driver on the hood before narrowing his eyes in irritation. His knuckles turned white from the grip, and his jaw clenched before speaking.

"Jungkook, Seokjin follow me to the car and that's a goddamn order. If I hear you speak, complain, or whine I will shove you both in the trunk for our entire ride back to my house. I don't care what happened, I don't care why you decided to do this bullshit, but I do care about you two getting back safely. That won't happen if you're irritating both Yoongi and I. Take that as an order from your leader."

The two quieted down, and Yoongi let go of Jungkook and dusted off his hands.

Namjoon tossed the screw driver back to Seokjin, and grabbed Jungkook by the ear as they began to walk back to the car.

"Min Jungkook, we have a lot to talk about."
