~2~

Let's start:

Jungkook hid behind a corner when his prey turned around.

A second later, he felt foolish because about ten other paparazzi were passing him and the celebrity in front of him got faster to enter a building. The security personnel immediately shut off the attempt to follow inside.

Jungkook clenched his teeth.

Again, his hesitation to be bold or join the crowd of brainless idiots that clicked the out of their cameras.

He always waited for it. The perfect angle and impatience were the worst thing you could do as a professional photographer. He took a deep breath, and his teeth clapped together when he slapped his cheeks.,,As if. Professional photographer..." he mumbled and put his camera in the case. He closed it neatly. The camera was his everything. Not just the fact that he had to earn his money with it. His constant reminder that what he was doing right now was not his dream. Or his goal or whatever.

It had not even been his intention when he had accompanied his friend to the magazine building to pick up material. Hoseok was working there as a reporter, and for some reason, he had stumbled right into Hoseok's boss, who was searching for a part-timer.

Before he knew it, his stupid carefree friend had him sign the contract, and since that day, he ran around for six months now and followed every celebrity entering or leaving a car or building.

And first, he felt humiliated because of his firm conviction that he wanted to be a professional in the field. A few weeks later, he got adjusted to the fact that he was just an annoying little parasite crawling behind someone. And now, standing at the corner, he accepted that the dream he was pursuing would probably never happen.

He clenched his fist and turned around.

His boss would not be happy.

Taehyung opened the car's back door, and his hand slid behind his back.

„Get out." He demanded in a monotone voice, and when the suspect stepped out of the car, he made sure that he had his semi-automatic within reach if something happened.

But the guy stayed calm and just followed him obediently into the building. Taehyung found his way through all the lingering people in the small department, officers and suspects.

,,Sit down here." He waved, and the guy let himself fall on a chair that looked uncomfortable.

,,Can you uncuff them? They hurt." The suspect pestered at Taehyung.

„Oh, they do? Like the broken jaw of your girlfriend must have hurt?" Taehyung's voice became very deep.

"Why do you assume that she didn't deserve it?" The suspect chuckled and stubbornly turned his head away from Taehyung.

Taehyung just ignored him. He glanced to the left and saw that his partner was entering the building and walking in his direction.

Yoongi, found something?" Taehyung asked and rolled up his sleeves. It was damn hot in the office. The hot summer nights didn't cool down the air at all. The chief had spent a lot of money on the new computers, but air conditioning had not been on his list.

,,No, just the usual. Get it over quickly. I want to eat. My treat tonight." Yoongi said, and Taehyung had a big smile on his face.

„You are so good to me, hyung."

,,I know. But you are the only person that puts up with my table manner."Yoongi laughed and turned towards the kitchen to get a coffee.

Taehyung shifted his attention back to the guy. He was the typical Friday night case. Tall, drunk, or drugged and got into a brawl. Woman or man didn't matter. Taehyung rolled his eyes in secret when he thought about the paperwork later.

,,Name?"

Silence.

Taehyung lifted his head and locked the suspect's eyes. He waited several seconds but the stupid grin of the guy didn't stop.

He lifted his eyebrows and sighed."Are you sure you want to play to the bad guy scenario?"

Again, the suspect didn't say a word.

Taehyung waved at another officer. He walked over, and Taehyung pointed at the guy.

„Get him a lawyer. I need to eat." He snapped at the younger officer, and he nodded hectically.

„Ya! I am starving." He heard the voice of Yoongi echo

across the hall.

,,Neh..." he mumbled and grabbed his jacket.

,,How can a person be so stupid?!"

Jungkook squeezed his eyes.

His boss had not been pleased to hear that he fucked up again.

„You are a paparazzi. A PAPARAZZI! Your job is to take pictures. As much as you can. It doesn't matter what they do. Just push the damn trigger on your camera!"

Jungkook nodded carefully.

,,Did you listen to me, Jungkook-ah? Look at me!" His boss shouted again.

He lifted his head to look into an angry face.

I swear if you **** up the next time, I will kick you out. What is your problem that you always are the last one to arrive at the spot?"

-Because I am not the same as these brainless

drooling idiots.- he thought.

,,I apologize again, Sir. Next time I will do my best to get the perfect shot."

His boss just waved his hand, and Jungkook almost fled from his boss's office.

He heard someone giggle and closed his eyes.

„Instead of laughing at me, you could at least comfort me for a second hyung."Jungkook mumbled and gasped in surprise when the arms of Hoseok wrapped around his upper body.

„That wouldn't help. You simply suck at this job."

,,I guess."Jungkook pouted.

I wanted to finish my article today, but I'll treat you to something delicious if you're going to." He heard Hoseok say and immediately got into a better mood.

Half an hour later.

Jungkook tried to eat his ramyun with a happy face, but he couldn't help but stare at Hoseok.

"What? Ramyun is delicious." He stated.

„Hyung, you treat me to an instant ramyun on a wooden camping table in the park. It's summer and so hot that the noodles won't cool off."

Hoseok just laughed, but it froze when he saw two guys walking past their bench. They got slower, and it seemed as if they were about to ask something when Hoseok just shook his head which earned him an angry glance from one of them. Jungkook tensed up, and he met the stare of one of the guys.

Suddenly he felt a chill. These eyes were something he had never seen before. He felt like they would devour him if he kept staring any longer.

Before he could say anything, the guy got pushed in the back and stumbled towards another bench. Jungkook heard him cursing at the other guy.

"What was that hyung? That was rude."he snapped at the Hoseok.

Hoseok wrinkled his forehead, but a second later, he had his smile back."It was nothing. I didn't want them to come over. They don't look too friendly. Eat your ramyun."

Jungkook rolled his eyes and continued eating.

„Did you see that? That brat?!" Taehyung pestered and was about to break the grip of Yoongi.

„Cool off. Let's drink the beer and eat. Don't mind him. They were posing." Yoongi said and pushed Taehyung into a sitting position.

For some reason, Taehyung felt humiliated. He was pissed because the younger guy had been bold enough to stare at him without lowering his eyes directly. And that did not happen a lot.

He often heard that his stare was making people uncomfortable. He didn't know how to stare differently, so he just gave a **** about it.

"I don't care if these kids scratched at your pride, but I will do it if you don't start concentrating on your food." He heard Yoongi.

Taehyung nodded.

„That case was frustrating."Yoongi said suddenly.

That was rare for him. He usually did not speak about work or talk shit about the colleges. Taehyung looked up.

"It was."

A long silence followed.

„Sometimes I think that this job annoys the hell out of me and should just quit."

All alarm bells in Taehyung's head started ringing, and

he aspired.

„Is it about your wife? That she is pregnant now? Are you giving me the I-need-to-take-care-of-my-family now shit?"

Yoongi avoided his eyes.
