Walking down the street, you started to feel cold as the evening was getting chilly. Jungkook had said he's going to take a bus and the bus stop was on the way to your place so you decided to accompany him.

You tried to start a conversation with him several times but he only answered your question with a YES or NO, never extending it. All you knew was that he wanted to do this job that's why he applied for it. You didn't want to be nosy so you didn't ask him anything about his family or friends.

Jungkook didn't want to take any risk. It was his first time working like this so he had to be really cautious. If he gives any information about him to any stranger, it can turn out really bad for him. He didn't trust you just yet.

Soon you both arrived at the bus stop. "We are here. The bus should arrive soon." You guessed, taking a look at your wrist watch. "I should leave now. See you tomorrow." With that you turned to leave.

"You are not going to take the bus?" Jungkook asked

"Um.... no I'll be fine. My apartment isn't that far so I'll just take a walk." You tried to make an excuse cause you were too embarrased to tell him that you were trying to save some money.

Yeah, being an adult was difficult.

Jungkook seemed to sense your uneasiness but he let it slide as it was none of his business. "Fine" he said.

You smiled and turned around to leave.

-------

Entering the passcode, Jungkook entered his home which was located a little far from the city. Jungkook had to take the bus and then walk a certain distance to arrive. They lived in an area which was actually a construction site years ago, but for some reasons the construction stopped. There were so many unfinished buildings surrounding their building making it one of the best place to hide.

"Am I supposed to act like a literal father now?" Yoongi entered the living room after hearing the sound of the door opening. Immediately knowing it's Jungkook because who else could it be?

"Huh?" Jungkook asked confused

"Son, how was your first day at work?" Yoongi joked.

"Shut up." Jungkook smiled, throwing his bag in Yoongi's direction which the later easily dodged.

"I did what you told me to. You can the hack the security system now." Jungkook informed, slouching down on the sofa.

Yoongi had actually asked Jungkook to fix a device to any of the CCTV cameras which will enable him to hack the security system and look into the footage, that'll make it easy to keep an eye on Namjoon.

Yoongi noticed the way Jungkook looked a bit tired.

"Looks like the girl made you work real hard on your first day." Yoongi chuckled

"It's not like th- Wait... how do you know I'm working with a girl?" Jungkook stopped mid sentence after realizing, eyes blown wide.

"It's your first time living in that world. You thought I'd let you go just like that?" Yoongi asked, walking in his room and taking his seat in front of the computers.

"Are you fucking keeping an eye on me now?" Jungkook asked a little shocked

"Spying sounds better." Yoongi typed something in his computer. A while later, some numbers and letters appeared on the screen.

"Yoongi!! You can't do that."

"Why not? I have to keep an eye on you." Yoongi said, sounding like he was stating an obvious fact.

"Who's it?" Jungkook suddenly asked.

Yoongi turned around, his face saying he was confused by Jungkook's question.

"The spy. Who's it?" Jungkook asked again, taking a seat on a chair in Yoongi's room.

"There won't be any fun if I tell you." Yoongi turned back to work on his computer again.

"I'm just worried for you, Jungkook, nothing else. That spy won't stop you from doing anything. His only job is to inform me what you are doing. I just want to make sure you are doing everything right. That's it." Yoongi said

"So it's a he." Jungkook noted

"That's the only thing you got from all I said." Yoongi facepalmed

"That's the only necessary piece of information I need right now." Jungkook smirked.

Jungkook was very determined on finding that spy now. He could understand what Yoongi was feeling but it felt like he was underestimating Black Knight. Jungkook wasn't an amateur, he was a professional by now. Of course this was something new and challenging but he really wanted Yoongi to trust him... fully.

"Don't try to act smart. Go and wash up. The dinner is ready." Yoongi ordered

Jungkook rolled his eyes at that but complied anyways.

-----

"I'm going through Namjoon's background, so far I haven't found anything suspicious." Yoongi informed, munching on his food.

Jungkook just nodded, taking a sip of his coke. He was done eating already.

"That Y/N... Is she okay?" Yoongi asked out of the blue, making Jungkook frown.

"I mean she's your partner now. I wanted to know if you're uncomfortable around her, you know?" Yoongi asked playing with his food with the help of his chopsticks.

"I'm not a child in a kindergarten, Yoongi." Jungkook snickered

"Still.... I'm concerned for you. I-

"She's.... fine, yeah." Jungkook cut Yoongi off to answer his previous question.

"Okay. If you say so. If she does anything, tell me, okay?"

"Stop babying me, Yoongi. I'm Black Knight." Jungkook laughed and got up to leave.

------

"Shit!!" You cursed running as fast as you can. You had slept through your alarm this morning and now you were running late to your work. You were just praying your boss wouldn't notice.

Finally arriving, you pushed open the door after showing your ID to the security guard standing outside. You were breathing heavily, not to mention the way your legs were aching from so much running but you didn't have time to stop. You started climbing up the stairs to reach the floor you were working on.

Upon reaching the floor, you realized you could've used the elevator, making your facepalm.

Running towards your desk, your eyes fell on the figure of your partner sitting on his desk.

Wait... that wasn't his desk.

He was sitting on your desk and it looked like he was going through some files.

Oh Shit!!

You quickly headed towards the desk, almost slipping in the process, but you managed to snatch the file away from him.

"What do you think you are doing?" You asked, quickly opening the file to check if...

Wait.. this isn't that file

"You told me to work on this tomorrow. You weren't here so I decided to start the work right away." Jungkook said, looking confused by your behavior.

"Of course." You awkwardly laughed. "Keep going, I guess?" You handed him the file bacl which he took but the confused look was still on his face.

You took your desired seat, finally catching your breath.

"Is there something you are hiding in there." Jungkook asked, peaking at the stack of files.

"It's... some girl stuff. None of your business." You tried to get away from the situation.

"Is it about a guy?" He asked, looking curious

"How do you-

"So, it's a guy indeed." He came to the conclusion.

You didn't know what to say. You wanted to clear his misunderstanding as it wasn't exactly like that but you also didn't want to do that at the same time as it will only lead to him asking you further questions.

"Is it Jimin?" He asked again.

"WHAT?? NO!!" You quickly denied.

He just hummed and went back to his work deciding not to nose in your business.

"What's with you being so curious and talkative today, huh?" You asked him, a bit confused as to why he was interested in this all of a sudden.

"Weren't you the one who wanted me to be like this?" He asked instead.

"I never told you to go through my stuff without my permission." You glared at him.

"Fine. Sorry." He simply apologized

That's it?

"Why are you so curious about him?" He asked another question.

"Huh?"

"Black Knight." Was all he said and you froze in your place.

"Y-you saw the files, didn't you?" You asked , afraid you already knew the answer.

He closed the file in his hand and finally lifted his head to look at you.

Don't say yes, don't say yes, don't say

"Yes." He answered

Well fuck

"L-let's talk about it later. Please." You begged.

"Okay."

"Don't worry I won't say a thing to anyone." He assured, after watching you open your mouth to say something. You pressed your lips in a line.

-------

"Soooooo?" Jungkook asked, walking beside you. You both were done with your work for today and were heading towards the bus stop.

"Never knew you could be this nosy and persistent. Quite a progress I must say." You huffed.

He stayed quiet, waiting for your answer.

"It's a long story." You started, deciding to give up and just tell him everything.

"I wanted to be a reporter all the time. It was my childhood dream but not of the kind I am today." You sighed. Jungkook turned his face to look at you, trying to give you his full attention.

"I wanted to research on critical issues but my Boss made me research on the life of celebrities instead. I tried to convince him several times to let me do what I want to but he always said things like 'I'm not capable enough of doing that'." You didn't notice when you slowed down your pace, your head now hanging low.

Jungkook slowed too, to walk beside you, listening to your story but not commenting on it.

"And then He caught my attention." You continued, referring to Black Knight, clueless of the exact guy walking beside you right now.

"Something about him made me develop an interest in him and that is why I started researching on him; behind Namjoon's back as he'd never allow me to do so. There were some times when I felt like I'm not going to gain anything by doing this, I tried to stop myself but I couldn't."

"Why?" He asked

You lifted your head to take a look at him. "I don't know" you shrugged. "Maybe it's because I want to prove myself to the world or maybe it's just...him?" You laughed. "I really don't know."

"What do you think about him? I mean.... what kind of guy do you think he is?" Jungkook asked out of curiosity. It was his first time listening to someone else's life story, a story where he played a role too.

Also he wanted to know what people took him as, what they thought about him, what you thought about of him.

"It's weird." You answered. Jungkook seemed confused.

From the side of your eye, you noticed you both arrived at the bus stand. "Let's take a seat." You suggested, walking towards the seats, Jungkook following behind.

"What I think about him?" You repeated his question, trying to come up with the right words. Jungkook patiently waited for your answer.

"What if I say I think of him as a savior and not as a criminal?" You asked, making Jungkook freeze in his place.

He hadn't expected that.

His eyes were blown wide. You laughed at his expression.

"Knew you'd react like that. Nevermind." You decided to leave the topic.

"No no no... you can continue." Jungkook impatiently uttered, making you frown.

Why was he so curious about Black Knight?

"I don't think he's actually the way this world portrays him." You decided to continue.

"Notice how his targets are the actual one's doing wrong? They aren't victims infact they are the real criminals!!" You continued, surprising Jungkook more and more with every single word.

"He always chooses the people who did something wrong in their past. He technically... makes them pay for their sins." You voiced your thoughts about Black Knight

Lifting your head, to take a look at the sky, you sighed. "It's a pity people think he's a criminal just because they don't know what he uses the money he steals for."

"I mean... there's a chance he uses it for a good cause right?" You turned to look at Jungkook. His head was hung low and his face was expressionless.

"I want people to look at him the way I do. I want people to look at him with.... my eyes." You smiled. Jungkook lifted his head to lock eyes with you, emotion flashing in his eyes which you couldn't decipher.

Suddenly a honking sound was heard making you break your eye contact and look at the bus.

"Oh the bus arrived. You should leave now !! See you tomorrow!!" You got up and left, turning once to look at Jungkook before heading towards your place.

Jungkook was still trying to process what he had just heard, not even noticing the bus left, leaving him alone with his mind full of thoughts.
