"We're here." Jin said as he opened the door of the car he had been driving. Taehyung nodded and opened the door on his side of the car too. Immediately as he got out of the car the brown haired boy's eyes grew big and he inhaled sharply.

Both boys were standing directly in front of a huge casino. Light were displayed all around the building and big muscly men were standing next to the entrance. Slowly the young lawyer's eyes began to twinkle and a small smile formed onto his face.

Taehyung took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. The fresh air of the outside world filled his lungs and a happy feeling began to fill his body. Ohh how he loved to be outside the Jeon tower for a while. He had never been in a casino before and he was really excited to go there even though the brown haired boy knew gambling wasn't something he would enjoy.

The brown haired boy certainly couldn't be described as a big risk taker. Yess he had made the risky choice of defending Korea's biggest mafia leader but other than that his life had always been pretty safe. The boy had never smoked, never gambeled and had always been the perfect student back when he was still in school. Nevertheless he liked the fact that he was going to this huge casino. He didn't even care that it was a casino, as long as it was far away from Jeon inc. Taehyung was very excited to go there.

"Come on, let's go inside." Jin said, shaking Taehyung out of his thoughts. The brown haired boy quickly nodded before following Taehyung to the entrance of the casino. Immediately as they arrived the big muscly men bowed deeply. "Welcome back Mr. Kim." One of them spoke politely, clearly not wanting to disrespect his boss. Jin softly nodded before taking the young lawyer's hand in his own and walking inside.

"Welcome to The Royal Dice." Jin spoke while letting go of Taehyung's hand and gesturing at the big room in front of them. "The biggest casino in all of Seoul and of of the many owned by none other than Jeon Jungkook." The purple haired boy continued before grabbing Taehyung's hand and leading him further into the building.

Taehyung followed his new friend, his eyes becoming as big as saucers at everything they passed. A huge area with fruit machines, a bar, tables filled with people playing some card game and loads of pretty girls. The whole casino gave of a luxurious vibe and if Taehyung hadn't come here with Jin he would have surely felt super out of place in a area like this.

Soon however both boys reached the back of the enourmous casino and were standing right in front of a black door with a huge man standing in front of it. The man looked exactly like the men who had been guarding the entrance of the casino. "Welcome back Mr. Kim." The man bowed deeply before stepping aside and opening the door for both boys.

Jin softly began to laugh before shaking his head slowly. "I told you to call me Jin like a 100 times now, are you ever going to learn?" The purple haired boy spoke before pulling Taehyung through the door the man had been guarding.

A spark immediately lit inside the brown haired boy's eyes as he took in the room the both of them were standing in now. A huge office like room with a complete sitting area. This place looked like it came straight out of a movie.

"Welcome to my office, hope you like it." Jin said while sending a wink Taehyung's way. Immediately the young lawyer began to nod and the both of them walked over towards the huge brown couch before taking place on it.

Taehyung was still looking around himself, amazed by all the expensive and beautiful things inside this room. Jimin had told him that Jin was in charge of all the casino's but he would have never thought they were this luxurious. This was beyond what he could have ever imagined. However something still wasn't feeling right inside the boy's stomach.

"Why did you bring me here?" Taehyung suddenly asked, a questioning tone lacing his voice. "Not that I don't like it because I do." The brown haired boy quickly added, afraid that he would offend the powerfull boy that was sitting in front of him.

"You seemed stressed this morning." The older of the two answered, a genuine smile across his face. "I figured you could use some time outside of the building." The purple haired boy continued, a friendly tone lacing his voice.

Suddenly Jin got up and walked over towards the door they had just come in through. "Stay here, I'll get us some drinks." The older boy said before dissapearing through the black door. A small smile began to form on the brown haired boy's face and he slowly lookend down.

He had no idea why Jin was being this nice to him. Until this morning the purple haired boy had barely knew him to begin with. Nevertheless the young lawyer was super thankfull towards the older boy. Jin had been right, Taehyung had been super stressed lately and this night off was exactly what he had needed. The purple haired boy had no idea how thankfull Taehyung was for everything he had already done for him.

Soon the older boy returned with two wide glasses with some kind of blue liquid in them. Immediately a questioning look began to form onto the brown haired boy's face upon noticing the weird color of the drinks. He had no idea what it was that Jin had gotten them both but it looked like straight up poison if you asked him.

"Here you go, a Blue Lagoon cocktail." The older boy said while handing one of the drink towards the younger who was still seated on the brown couch. Carefully the brown haired boy took the drink in his hands and smelled it. A sweet yet strong alcoholic smell immediately filled his nostrils.

Softly Jin began to laught before taking a sip out of his own glass. "Try it, it's really sweet." The purple haired boy spoke before taking a sip out of his own drink again. Softly Taehyung looked at the drink inside his hands and took a small sip. The sweet taste of the blue liquid immediately filled his whole mouth and a soft burning sensation went down his throat upon swallowing. Jin had been right, this was very sweet.

The entire evening both boys had loads of fun. They played some games, got to know each other better and Jin had even shown Taehyung around the entire casino. It had been a really relaxing night for the brown haired boy and even though he know he probably shouldn't question Jin's friendliness he couldn't help it.

"Why are you being so friendly towards me?" The young lawyer asked all of a sudden, a questioning lacing his voice. "Before this morning you barely knew me." The brown haired boy added. Taehyung was genuinly curious about this fact. Jin was one of the people who possesed a lot of power inside this mafia while Taehyung was literally worth nothing. Why would someone like Jin help someone like him?

A small smile began to form on the purple haired boy's face upon hearing the brown haired boy's question. "Darling I've known everything there is to know about you for months now." The purple haired boy spoke while sending a wink his way.

A question look quickly began to form onto the young lawyer's face and a soft 'what' left his mouth. However the older boy softly shook his head before a 'nevermind' left his mouth.

"This morning I felt sorry you because I know exactly what it's like to be in your shoes." Jin spoke while a small smile was still present on his face. Slowly Taehyung tilted his head a bit while looking at his friend with a questioning look displayed on his face. What did the older boy mean by that?

"What do you mean?" Taehyung decided to ask and Jin softly looked down, a small smile still visible. "I might as well tell you huh?" The older boy said before looking up again and locking eyes with the brown haired boy who was sitting next to him.

"When I was a little boy I grew up in a poor family. It had always been just my dad and I." The purple haired boy said, staring off in the distance now. "My dad was a big gambler and I'm pretty sure he was addicted to it." Jin continued while softly shaking his head. "It went up to the point where he was even gambling with money we didn't have, which resulted into pretty big depts." The older boy said, a sad tone now lacing his voice. Slowly Taehyung began to feel sorry for the boy sitting in front of him. Jin was clearly hurt by some things in the past and he was now reliving those things because Taehyung had asked the wrong question.

"In order to pay of those depts he sold me to Jeon Inc, I was around the age of 8 by then." The purple haired boy said, his eyes full of emotions and his voice barely a whisper now. "I started of as a cleaner too, however at the age of 10 I met the son of the boss, Jungkook." The older boy said, a small smile now visible again on his face.

"Jungkook and I immediately clicked, eventhough he was a lot younger than I was." Jin spoke before quickly continuing. "Through Jungkook I met Yoongi and Hoseok and it didn't take long for me to get a new job. I had now been assigned to watch Jungkook and help him with his homework while his father was busy running his bussiness. I got to know Jungkook's father and brother beter and within no time I was part of the family, just like Yoongi and Hoseok." Jin said, thankfullness lacing his voice.

"From there on I got the oppurtunity to go back to school again and make my life worth something again. I know it's not exatcly the same situation since you have been kidnapped but the feeling of being completely alone, I know how that feels." The boy said before looking directly at Taehyung. "This morning when I saw you in that elevator you reminded me of myself in the past." The boy said while his voice was filled with emotions. "I got a second change at getting a new life and family and I want you to feel that way too." Jin spoke before softly putting a hand on Taehyung's thigh.

"Just remember Tae, you're never alone." The purple haired boy said while softly squeezing the brown haired boy's thigh. "I'll always be here for you."

"I can't let you go, but I can be there for you whenever you need someone." Jin spoke before softly taking Taehyung into a hug. A small smile quickly formed onto the brown haired boy's face and a single lonely tear escaped out of his eye. Jin had no idea how much his words meant to him, he truly had no idea.
