16 - AGENT H & AGENT P -

The two were in the car, about to fetch the two people Suga had called the previous day. The reason why Hoseok called was to announce that they already arrived in the place they agreed to meet, and so, the two did not waste time and rode the car.

Jimin had been silent the whole ride. And he was also sulkily glaring at the dashboard. He was clearly disappointed.

Suga sighed. "We need to fetch two insane people. They are waiting for us to get them so we can't just ignore the call and make them wait for us," he explained.

"What's with these people?" Jimin asked, voice so low Suga almost didn't hear him.

"They're backup. I need them to succeed saving your best friends."

Upon hearing the statement, Jimin visibly stilled, clearly remembering the fact that his friends were kidnapped. Suga could feel all the worries and sadness settling back in. Shit, now he made him remember it.

"Backup?" Jimin inquired, voice still low, but now more vulnerable.

"Yeah. I can't bring you with me while saving them, but I also can't leave you. I may despise it, but I actually need at least two more agents to help me out with this mission. Good thing that I know two who are trustworthy enough to drag into this situation."

Understanding dawning upon him, Jimin nodded his head. "I'm assuming you meant Agent P and Agent H?"

"Mmm, yeah. I called them yesterday and they both agreed to help. I tried to contact Y to tell him about the addition of the two but for some reason, I couldn't contact him."

Suga saw the trace of concern when Jimin finally turned his head to look at the older boy. "Don't worry about Y," he said, thinking about the fact that he himself is worried deep inside. "Probably he's just busy trying to find out who the traitors are and where your father hid the Data."

"Hmmm okay... If you say so..."

The older boy glanced at the younger. "I know we've already talked about this before but, do you at least have any idea where the Data could be? Z is your father, you know him more than anyone. Any places he could've hidden it?"

Jimin pursed his lips, deep in thought. Suga was driving, he knew, but he really couldn't stop staring at the adorable thinking face of Jimin. And maybe his eyes stared more on the pursed lips.

He calmly stepped on the break when he realized that he was about to crash unto the car in front of him that stopped because of the red light.

Jimin, who was still thinking deeply and had no idea they were close to dying seconds before, finally spoke. "I really couldn't be sure. I know my father just like I know the back of my hand, but I never knew him as an agent. I have no idea who he is when he's an agent so..."

"So you also have no idea where the Data could be," Suga finished for him. He was honestly laughing inside, thinking of how their pursuers hunted Jimin as if he held the answer to their questions when, in reality, the boy had no idea about anything at all.

Suga pulled up the car, his eyes already trained at the two figures standing by the mall that were looking at their phones as if they didn't know each other and didn't give a shit to anyone. He unlocked the doors of the car, and not minutes later, the two were already sliding quickly inside smoothly.

"Where's Professor Utonium?" the one wearing a pink coat spoke as Suga started the car.

"In the lab," the other one spoke in a serious voice.

Suga snorted, because really, they still hadn't gotten over that?

There was silence in the car, the atmosphere tense. In Suga's peripheral vision, he saw Jimin frown, possibly puzzled by the sudden tense silence and by the cryptic words. Jin finally spoke, unable to shut his mouth anymore.

"Suga, you're supposed to say the next line."

Suga rolled his eyes. "I still have dignity left in my veins. We already did that stupid code before, can't you guys think of something else? Something actually cool and not too...powerpuffgirlish?"

"How can we be sure that you are S then if you'll not say the next line? Maybe you're just disguising for all we know!" Hoseok exclaimed, eyes going wide.

Suga winced inwardly, not really wanting to say his line. It's too disgusting. Too cheap.

Too...ugh.

"Come on, S. This is our code. If you can't say it, then we'll have to jump out of this car. You might be an enemy," Jin said in his usual weird 'uncle' way of speaking. Suga winced again.

He didn't want to say it.

Especially in front of Jimin.

"Okay, let's start from the beginning," Jin said with an air of confidence. "Where's Professor Utonium?"

"In the lab!" Hoseok cheerfully answered. The brat.

There was a moment of thick silence before Suga croaked, "Brewing Suga, spice and everything nice."

A round of applause resounded after he had given his speech. The two assholes in the backseat were just way too happy to embarrass Suga thoroughly. When he turned to his right, he saw that Jimin was barely stifling his chuckle. Suga could see he was trying though, but not enough.

He scowled at the younger boy.

"Nobody will talk about this," Suga stated in a final tone that could make any cats scurry away in fear. Jin and Hoseok stopped laughing, but were still silently doing it.

And of course, there would be one stubborn brat who'll refuse to listen. Always refused to listen.

"Hyung, you're Buttercup, I'm guessing?" Jimin said with a barely contained laughter.

Suga glared at the road in front of him. "I said nobody will talk about this."

"But you're just so grumpy!" Jimin insisted, now more animated. "You're such a Buttercup. Always scowling. Cute but grumpy."

"Park Jimin. Call me cute again and I swear, you'll find yourself tied up." Suga stepped on the break after swiftly doing a parallel parking in the basement of the hotel. He turned to Jimin and leaned so close he made sure the other boy could feel his breath. And in a deep and very serious voice said, "I'm not shitting around. I'm really gonna tie you up."

The younger boy visibly swallowed as his eyes widened in fear.

Suga smirked.

He then withdrew as if nothing happened and slid out of the car. The other three followed him, with Jimin standing awkwardly beside him, his face red as a tomato. Jin and Hoseok were standing across them.

Suga was about to introduce Jimin to them properly when he noticed that all of their eyes were trained somewhere on Jimin's neck. In his curiosity, he followed their gaze.

He face-palmed.

"W-what?" Jimin asked self-consciously. "Is there something in my neck?"

Jin raised one delicate eyebrow.

Subtle.

Hoseok, on the other hand, was not that subtle.

"Waaaaaaaaah! Is that... Oh my gosh is that a hickey?! B-but... You're too cute!" Hoseok exclaimed. Looking at Jimin with reprimanding eyes, he clicked his tongue disapprovingly. "Kids nowadays. I can't believe this. Wait, but I thought you're guarded by Suga the whole time. How did you manage to sneak out and fool around?"

Hoseok laughed mercilessly at his own joke. "No one ever escapes this guy's hands. You must be so good that you were able to-"

"I did not sneak out..." Jimin interrupted in a low and shy voice.

Hoseok blinked.

"But... you're only with Suga so how come... Oh. Oh."

That was probably the most awkward moment in Suga's life.

"We should probably get going now. We still have a lot to discuss," Suga said smoothly, grabbing Jimin's wrist and walking towards the elevator. He did not stop in his pace so that the other two would be forced to just shut up from their laughing fit and follow them.

The moment they arrived in the room, Jin and Hoseok thankfully introduced themselves properly to Jimin and did not talk about the embarrassing hickey incident. The two knew who Jimin was and as it seemed, they trusted Jimin enough to reveal their real names.

They talked for a little while, and in Suga's delight, Hoseok's cheerfulness managed to bring out a genuine smile from Jimin. The younger boy was clearly still sad and worried, but he's happy that at least Jimin easily enjoyed himself in the presence of two people that he just met.

When Hoseok cracked another suggestive dirty joke that was clearly pertaining to him and Jimin, Suga chose the perfect moment to throw a key card at them, which Hoseok perfectly and swiftly caught.

Jin raised a questioning eyebrow. "What is that?"

"It's the key to your room, which is next to this room. We still have a lot of things to go through so you two better start unpacking now."

"We're staying in a different room?" Hoseok asked.

Suga rolled his eyes. "Of course. We only have one bed here, obviously. You two will-"

"Ah yeah, of course we shouldn't interrupt in the sexy time. I understand," Hoseok said, cutting in. The boy was smiling genuinely and Suga was sure that Hoseok had been speaking seriously and without any trace of sarcasm. It still irked him, though.

Jin was chuckling hard and Jimin was looking at the floor with his ears and cheeks flaming red.

"I'm pretending I didn't hear that. Now you two go before I shoot your balls."

•••|SG|•♥•|JM|•••

Turns out the threat was more effective than it deemed to be as that had made his two traitorous friends pick their luggage in one swift moment. Seconds later, they were already out of the room, Suga on their tail.

"What is this, hyung? Are you making sure that we're going to the room and not secretly eavesdrop on you and on cute Jiminie?" Hoseok teased, his eyebrows waggling disturbingly.

Suga huffed. Partly because he was done with this guy, and partly because he was kinda annoyed with Hoseok freely calling Jimin 'Jiminie'.

"I'm just helping you guys unpack," Suga defended himself as they entered the room next to his and Jimin's.

"Wow, we're so grateful," Jin spoke dryly.

However, the exact moment their luggage landed on the floor, Suga was immediately bombarded with Hoseok and his uncontrolled excitement. Shit. He knew this was going to happen. He just knew.

Hoseok draped one long arm over Suga's shoulder as he stared at him in wonder. Suga just scowled heartily and hoped that his suffering will end sooner.

"Hyung! You do know that Jimin is the son of Z, right?"

Suga's scowl darkened. "Obviously, I was the one who told you that."

"Then you're supposed to be guarding him, not stripping him naked! I don't know if it sunk into your mind that it's the boss'son. Suga-hyung, you're fooling around with the boss' son!"

"Jin, save me!" Suga called out, hoping that it would make the situation better by chance.

But nope, he didn't have such luck.

"I can't hear anyone!" Jin all but sing-songed to him. The traitor.

This was conspiracy.

"Hyung, it's like in the movies where you are chosen to be the bodyguard of this rich man's daughter but instead, you fell into her seduction. Heck, it's the son of the founder of our organization! You're big time now, man. I can't believe this. Seeing you two makes me feel happy but at the same time I felt like my life is about to get ruined if I start shipping you!"

Okay wow, all this hyper talk was draining everything from Suga. Maybe it's unbelievable but the boy really did feel sleepy by just listening at Hoseok's nonsense. "What's shipping?" he asked instead.

"It's-"

"It's sending an order. You ship it after the person paid, something like that," Jin interrupted smoothly, having finished unpacking and arranging his things. "Now you two come here. We need to discuss more details about this mission. I want to know what the heck is happening, what exactly you wanted us to do, and why is Jimin wearing the boxers I gave to you last Christmas. ASAP."

Suga nodded quickly, happy to grab the distraction and walked quickly back to his own room where Jimin was waiting. He needed to fetch Jimin. It would be better if it's the two of them explaining this to the other two.

He, of course, made sure to ask Jimin to change into a turtle-neck shirt before they went to the next room.
