Introvert (Taekook) ✓

Chapter 67

Namjoon raised a sleek eye brow at Taehyung trying to figure out what the younger was trying to do, now.

"I think you know very well, Tae."

Taehyung turned at Jungkook with a confused face winking discreetly at him. Thankfully, the boy understood and made the same face as he shrugged at Taehyung. He chose to go with Jungkook as his companion in helping him escape this scene, instead of Hoseok because he knew that the older would freak out soon. So, if he tried to save himself along with Hoseok, it would be a suicide.

"We really don't know what you are saying, hyung." Taehyung slowly turned back as he spoke with utmost sincerity.

Namjoon smiled at him wondering how Taehyung would react when they would play their next card because, for now, he was thinking that Taehyung being slow witted didn't know what Namjoon was talking about, yet. He was, however, not expecting Jungkook to be a part of it so he considered Jungkook's reaction normal.

"Your little friend, Jimin here, has quite a big mouth, you know. He told us that he never thought your plan would have worked out so well. Care to explain that?" Jin spoke next from behind them as he played with Jimin's hair and all four heads looked at him; two in terror and two impassively.

Hoseok's eyes widened at the reminder of what Jimin said was 'nothing big'. His eyes traveled to his side and glared at Jimin who only shrunk slightly in apology but stayed silent, anyway. They both looked back at Jin hoping they weren't noticed, just now.

"That's not what I-" Jimin started to defend himself but Jin's hand quickly made it's way to his ear and he twisted it slightly but strong enough to hurt Jimin. Jimin hissed in pain and shut his mouth instantly making Hoseok shift in his seat impatiently which made him more obvious to the elders.

Nobody said anything for a while so Jin realized he needed to push them himself. He walked over to Hoseok as he pretended to be going to Namjoon and stood behind the frightened boy.

"Hobi might know. He spends most of his time with Jimin. And knowing Jimin there's no way he could keep it to himself. Isn't that right, Hobi?" When Jin's hand landed on Hoseok's shoulder he stiffened like a rock making Jin smirk.

Hoseok glanced at Taehyung wondering why he wasn't saying anything to save him but the latter looked like he didn't even know him. Jin squeezed Hoseok's shoulder to get his attention which he, obviously, got.

"Well?" Hoseok wet his dry lips as he tried to come up with an excuse. Jimin was already dead since he blurted it out but his use of 'we' put others in trouble too. And right now, Hoseok was highly suspicious in their eyes and most probably would be soon punished along with Jimin.

"I.. I'm.." Jin squeezed his him once again and if he hadn't wet his pants he might do it now. Jin already had set his terror in Hoseok's heart a long time ago but the boy still didn't find any way to overcome it. This was his last straw since he shut his eyes tightly as he yelled.

"Yes! Yes I know!" Jin took a peek at the other boys to see their reactions. Taehyung and Jungkook still looked the same as before giving the elders a confirmation that they had nothing to do with it. While Jimin was just drowning in his seat since he knew it was only a matter of time before he would be facing consequences of his mistake.

"Well, then. Let's have a talk with you two. Tae, Kookie, would you mind leaving us for some time?" Jin's voice was dripping with honey as he spoke and the said boys started getting up after nodding. Jimin and Hoseok looked at each other with wide eyes as they saw the scene in front of them and before he could think clearly what he should be saying, Hoseok jumped up and yelled.

"Why are you sending them away? They were in on it, too." Namjoon turned towards Hoseok with raised brows and then back at the boys who were almost leaving.
