Work Text:
Everything is determined by your genetics. Your looks, your personality, your future job, your partner… or partners. Straight from birth, a special DNA test is run to collect all these facts about you, and three reports are generated – one for the family, one for the hospital, the last for the government. At the age of fourteen, you’re given your partner’s number (partners’ numbers) so you can learn about them before officially meeting them.
Some don’t care for texting their partner(s). Some just don’t care for their partner(s) at all.
But the government has a way of meddling.

“What the hell did I get myself into?” Namjoon mutters, looking between the house and the map app on his phone. The app says he’s at his destination, but he almost wishes it didn’t.
The house looks just like the ones surrounding it – old and modest. But Namjoon just keeps getting this bad vibe from it. Like the house is just a facade for what’s going on inside.
“Gosh. All this just because he didn’t answer his phone.” Namjoon huffs as he walks up to the front door. No matter how much he wants to tuck tail and run, he doesn’t want the three-hour train ride to be for nothing. Granted, he didn’t pay for the ride but he’s not about wasting the money of a client.
“No matter who they are.” The dark-haired man mutters. He takes a deep breath before knocking on the door three times, not hard enough to come off as aggressive but hard enough to be heard.
He hears movement within the house; footsteps come towards the door so Namjoon looks to the peephole.
“Who are you and what do you want?” Namjoon is taken aback by the man’s aggressive tone. It’s not like it’s five in the morning or eleven at night. It’s five in the afternoon.
“Who I am does not matter, but I am here to speak with Jeon Jungkook. Is he in right now?” Namjoon asks, shoving his hands in his pants pockets. He really hopes the kid is in so he can get this over with and go home.
“No one by that name lives here.” The rude man replies, “Who the fuck would come looking for this useless bastard.” Namjoon wishes he hadn’t heard that but his ears are too sharp. There’s a whimper from somewhere near the door and a hissed shut up immediately follows it.
“Y’know if you’re gonna lie at least be good at it.” The private investigator retorts, rolling his eyes.
“Whatever. Are you a cop?”
Namjoon rolls his eyes at the man. He’s definitely guilty of something.
“Why does that matter? Is Jungkook here or not? Someone is worried about him.” Namjoon states, touching the lockpick kit in his pocket. Something he brings with him in case of emergencies. He really hopes this doesn’t become an emergency situation.
“What do you want with my tokki?” Namjoon raises an eyebrow at the name. Tokki? Bunny?
“Like I said, someone wants to meet him because they’re worried about him. So is he here or not and can he come with me for an hour?” At this point, Namjoon just needs to get Jungkook out of the house. From there, all he has to do is get the kid back to Seoul to Seokjin.
“An hour is too much. Ten minutes and you have to stay where I can see you.”
“That’s fine by me,” Namjoon replies, stepping back from the door. His car is parked just out of sight. They can make it if they run.
Footsteps move away from the door and three minutes pass before the door opens to reveal two guys – both around Namjoon’s height. One of them is covered in black from head to toe, staring down at the ground. Right behind him is a frowning blond wearing only sweatpants.
“Your ten minutes start as soon as I close this door.” The blond states before pushing the other boy, Jungkook presumably, out of the doorway into Namjoon. He then slams the door.
“Well, what a charmer he is,” Namjoon grumbles as he helps Jungkook stand up straight.
“You alright, Jungkook-ssi?” The PI questions and Jungkook nods, still looking down. Namjoon refrains from sighing as he glances at the door.
“Walk with me.” The older man says quietly before walking into the middle of the yard. Namjoon watches Jungkook limp over to him; it’s a subtle limp, like Jungkook is trying not to but can’t help it.
“Can you run like that?” Namjoon asks quietly and Jungkook finally looks at him, giving Namjoon a good look at the multiple bruises on his face. Namjoon can’t stop himself from grimacing, his reaction leading Jungkook to look back down at the ground.
“I-I don’t think so.” Is the quiet reply Jungkook gives. Namjoon slowly nods before glancing at the front door once again.
“Then that leaves me no other choice.” The dark-haired man mutters. Jungkook looks up to give Namjoon a questioning look but Namjoon responds with a half-smile.
“Do you have your phone?”
Jungkook nods and Namjoon lets out a sigh of relief.
“Good. Then we can leave…” Namjoon glances at the door once more before scooping Jungkook up in his arms (which was way easier than it should have been) and runs for his car.
Namjoon doesn’t look back even as he hears the front door slam open,
“Come back here, you fucker!”
Namjoon ignores the blond’s yelling as he quickly places Jungkook in the backseat before jumping into the driver’s seat and speeding off. Good thing he left the car running.

Kim Namjoon
I knew I shouldn’t have accepted this damn job
Kim Seokjin
DID YOU FIND HIM
Kim Namjoon
YES I DID
We’ll head back to Seoul tomorrow
As for now we’re in a hotel in Daegu
Park Jimin
Why?
Kim Namjoon
Cus Jungkook is in no shape to travel
He started freaking out minutes after we escaped
Screaming about how Jun-seo was gonna find him and kill him
I HAD TO PULL OVER AND CALM HIM DOWN
Min Yoongi
And where is he now?
Kim Namjoon
Asleep fortunately
Im gonna have to force him to eat in the morning
cus he didn’t eat any of the food I ordered
im going to bed now
Kim Seokjin
WAIT WAIT WAIT
Who’s Jun-seo
Kim Namjoon
Someone I’ll be reporting and investigating
I don’t know how he’s related to Jungkook
But the bastard is clearly mentally disturbed
He called Jungkook his bunny
And he’s definitely the one that gave him all these bruises🤬
Kim Seokjin
WHAT
Kim Namjoon
IM GOING TO BED
ILL TELL YOU IN THE MORNING
ITS ALMOST ELEVEN PM
GOODNIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(04/03)
Namjoon jolts awake when he feels a sudden weight fall over him. In his hazy mind, he registers a whimper from whatever fell on him and it takes him a moment to remember that he slept by the door to prevent Jungkook from leaving.
“Do you know what time it is, Jungkook-ssi?” Namjoon slurs as he rubs the sleep from his eyes. When he’s finally able to see Jungkook, he’s taken aback by the tears running down the boy’s face.
“What’s wrong?” The older man asks, reaching out to wipe the tears away but Jungkook flinches and practically throws himself off of the private investigator.
“You good for nothing, piece of– I told you not to wake him up! Can’t you do a single thing right?!”
Namjoon holds back a growl as he notices Jungkook’s phone beside him, a call still going. Jungkook must’ve accidentally hit speakerphone when he fell.
“All I know is… If you bring your ass within twenty feet of him, the police will be escorting your ass to jail.” Namjoon hisses before hanging the phone up. He immediately grabs the phone and checks the text messages between Jungkook and Jun-seo.
“Oh thank God you didn’t give him our location.” Namjoon sighs, running a hand through his hair. He tosses Jungkook’s phone into his lap before readjusting his blanket.
“Go back to bed. We’re heading to Seoul by seven.”
“I-I can’t go… I can’t l-leave.”
“You can do both those things if you just…” Namjoon pauses as he mulls over how to persuade Jungkook, “trust me. You have a hyung in Seoul who really needs to make sure you’re okay.” He finishes, closing his eyes right after.
There’s a beat of silence before Namjoon feels something touch his feet.
“W-Was it Seokjin hy-hyung?”
“Yep… You should read the group chat if you haven’t already. I assume you haven’t. Just ignore whatever Kim Taehyung says. We haven’t figured out what his problem is.” Namjoon replies, cracking one eye open and offering the boy smile. Jungkook gives him a small smile before looking down at his phone.
×××××
[Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook]
Kim Seokjin
NAMJOOOOOOOON
Are you in Seoul yet
Jeon Jungkook
We’re almost there
he said to tell you that it took us a while to leave because of paperwork?
those are his words not mine
Kim Seokjin
JUNGKOOK-SSI HOW ARE YOU DOING
Park Jimin
How are you😦
Jeon Jungkook
I’m fine?
Why are you asking, hyungs?
Kim Seokjin
Because we worried
We heard you were freaking out because of that asshole that was keeping you captive
Jeon Jungkook
oh…
it was nothing
sorry for making you worry over nothing
I was fine
Kim Taehyung
Since you were so fine
you can go back to living with that “asshole”
Min Yoongi
Can you please
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Nobody asked for your toxic ass comments
Jung Hoseok
There is no way you’re too dumb to deduce that those bruises came from that asshole
WE KNOW YOU READ THE CHAT ASSHOLE
Park Jimin
No, no Hoseok hyung
He actually is too dumb🙄clearly
Kim Seokjin
Kim Taehyung, I’m gonna come to your house
and fucking throttle you
and I’ll get away with it
Because one of my best friends is the best damn lawyer in all of Korea😑
Jeon Jungkook
It’s fine hyungs
Kim Seokjin
IT’S NOT FINE
How’s your face healing up
Did you put ointment on it
Jeon Jungkook
Was I supposed to?
Kim Seokjin
OH MY GOD
IM GETTING MY FIRST AID KIT READY
I’LL DRESS YOUR WOUNDS
Jeon Jungkook
They’re not that bad tho
Kim Namjoon
One of them looks like it’s trying to get infected🤨
The only reason I didn’t dress his wounds is because Jungkook kept flinching every time I came near
So I gave up
Park Jimin
ARE YOU TEXTING AND DRIVING
Kim Namjoon
Hell no
We stopped to get some to eat
We’re in Seoul now
Taehyung-ssi, I’m sure your mother and one of your sisters can sympathize with what Jungkook-ssi went through
Kim Taehyung
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW
Kim Namjoon
Enough
Kim Taehyung
So you’re just allowed to dig into anyone’s personal lives?
Kim Namjoon
Given you’re one of my partners the information was given without hassle
Kim Taehyung
ASSHOLE
Kim Seokjin
Alright!
Cut it out you two
Calm.
Down.
Kim Taehyung
😤
Im outta here
Park Jimin
What’s his backstory?
Kim Namjoon
I’ll tell you
some other time
Park Jimin
WHAT?
Kim Namjoon
😊
×××××
“I told you not to mind the things Kim Taehyung says. He needs therapy… or the world’s longest hug.”
Jungkook cracks a smile, staring down at his open phone.
“What would you like to eat, Jungkook-ssi? I’ll treat you to anything. That way, you’ll have a full stomach when you meet Seokjin-ssi and can fall asleep quickly. I was warned that he cracks dad jokes when he’s nervous.”
Jungkook absentmindedly nods and tightens the grip on his phone. This man has said his name so many times already, but it still sounds foreign to him… Like it’s someone else’s name.
“I’m not hungry.” Jungkook finally answers and Namjoon ignores his desire to sigh.
“You see, I’d believe you if I hadn’t heard your stomach growl thirty minutes ago. Anything is fine with me, kid… Except seafood… But if you want seafood, I’ll get it just for you.” Namjoon says, running a hand through his hair. He glances at Jungkook and finds the younger man staring at him with this disbelieving look on his face.
“You can ask me anything. Anything that’s on your mind. I won’t judge you nor will I get upset.” Namjoon states, hoping to encourage Jungkook into talking.
“Why… Why are you willing to do so much for someone you don’t know?”
“Because I want to.” Namjoon answers immediately, “It’s got like only five percent to do with my acknowledgment of you being one of my partners, and ninety-five percent to do with that I find you interesting.” He adds after some thought. Jungkook blinks a few times before scratching his head.
“You went to college, didn’t you, hyung?”
“I did and I graduated top of my class,” Namjoon replies, a proud smile appearing on his face. Jungkook can’t hold back a bitter smile at the statement.
“Yeah, well… I didn’t so… could you please… dumb stuff down for me?” Jungkook asks, picking at the skin of his fingers. Namjoon purses his lips before grabbing one of Jungkook’s hands.
“I won’t talk like a teacher or lawyer. So don’t call it dumbing stuff down. I talk like that out of habit, so just remind me if I start doing it again.” The elder answers. Jungkook responds with a small smile before pulling his hand out Namjoon’s.
“Thank you, hyung.”
“No problem, Jungkook… Now, what do you want to eat?”
×××××
Jungkook looks up at the tall, expensive-looking building and then back at the car where Namjoon’s is getting out.
“Holy fuck… I live in a penthouse but this,” Namjoon gapes at the building as he shakes his head, “I just can’t compare.”
Jungkook smiles, silently happy that he’s not the only shocked here.
“Let’s go in, I guess… I wish I had told him to meet us outside.” Namjoon says quietly before heading to the building entrance. As soon as they enter, a tall brunet-haired man comes running up to them with a first-aid kit in one hand. Jungkook immediately hides behind Namjoon.
“Oh my God, look what he did to your face!” The brunet exclaims and Namjoon sighs.
“Seokjin hyung, dial it back. You’re scaring him. Making him anxious.” The private investigator states, glancing back at Jungkook who’s staring down at the floor.
“Sorry, sorry… But his face–”
“I know. Isn’t that why you brought the kit?” Namjoon reminds him and Seokjin nods slowly.
“I can’t do it here though. Follow me,” Seokjin says before turning and heading for the elevator which is on the other side of the lobby. Jungkook can’t help but wonder why the lobby is so empty. There are no employees behind the front desk and there are no other residents around. He doesn’t feel like it’s his place to ask about it though he really wants to ask anyway.
The trio take the elevator up to the next floor where they find themselves in a large studio apartment. Jungkook can’t help but gape at how expensive everything looks, from the bed sheets to the kitchen to the curtains covering the only window in the room.
“Come sit on the couch. Let me attend to those nasty wounds, please.” Seokjin states, walking over to the couch. The expensive-looking couch, Jungkook might add.
“I-I can just sit on the floor,” Jungkook says, staring down at the floor. Seokjin looks to Namjoon who just shakes his head.
“Let’s sit on the couch, Jungkook. Since Seokjin hyung asked so nicely. Sitting on the couch would be much more comfortable than sitting on the floor, trust me.” Namjoon says as he gently pushes Jungkook towards the couch. The youngest reluctantly sits down and tries his hardest not to flinch when Seokjin starts patching up his face.
Namjoon takes this time to look around the apartment and he can’t help but notice how… empty it seems.
“You live here, Seokjin hyung?” The private investigator inquires, turning to look at the eldest.
“Nope, my apartment is on the floor above this one… This is Jungkook’s place while he settles in.” Seokjin answers, grimacing at the bruise on Jungkook’s jaw. Jungkook’s eyes widen at the news and its delivery. Who just gives someone an apartment like this and says it so nonchalantly? And for nothing in return? It’s unheard of and almost scam-like.
“Excuse me what?” Namjoon questions and Seokjin laughs in response.
“I own this entire building. The only staff are the cleaning crew that comes every two weeks. That’s why it’s so empty.” Seokjin replies, setting aside a band-aid wrapper.
“W-wasn’t that… lonely?” Jungkook asks quietly and Seokjin gives him a sad smile.
“It was… But since you’re gonna be here, it won’t be as lonely, ya know?”
Jungkook nods and offers the eldest a smile. Seokjin finishes quickly after that… but he can’t help himself.
“Wanna hear a joke?” Seokjin asks as he’s cleaning up. Jungkook looks to Namjoon who nods so Jungkook answers with a quiet yes.
“What do you call an ant who fights crime?”
Jungkook tilts his head to the side before shrugging.
“A vigilanty.” Seokjin laughs, slapping his knee. Jungkook can’t help but crack a smile, not at the joke but at Seokjin’s laugh. It’s funnier than the joke.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(04/04)
Jungkook did not ask Namjoon to sleep over. No, that was all Seokjin's idea because he wanted to hear the details of the report. Or at least that was his excuse. Jungkook can never admit out loud that he was grateful for Seokjin insisting that Namjoon stay in Jungkook's apartment, however.
That doesn't give him an excuse to be staring at Namjoon the way he is right now. Especially since the man is sleeping and it's three in the morning. Jungkook knows it's creepy but he can't sleep and his mind is still reeling from how quickly things have changed for him.
Jun-seo is going to jail. At least that's what Namjoon told him. He doesn't believe it'll happen though. Jun-seo is crafty. He'll escape the police. And then he'll find Jungkook, and things will go back to how they were.
"How long are you gonna stand there?" Namjoon's voice invades his thoughts, and it takes him a moment to work through his shock to realize that Namjoon is staring at him.
"H-How long... How long have you been awake, hyung?"
Namjoon lets out a sleepy grunt as he rubs his eyes.
"Since I heard you get out of bed. Sometimes I'm a light sleeper. It usually happens when I'm still thinking about something when I fall asleep."
Jungkook nods, unable to look the other man in the eye.
“You must’ve been thinking about something too. You were standing there for a while… I hope you weren’t plotting to murder me and run away.”
“No! Of course not!” Jungkook immediately exclaims, finally looking at Namjoon who’s smiling at him, to his relief.
“I knew you’d look if I said something crazy like that. Wanna go see if Seokjin wants some company?” Namjoon says as he sits up slowly, eyes partially open. To Jungkook, it looks like the man is talking half-asleep. And he might be.
“W-Wouldn’t he get mad?”
“I doubt it. If I say it was your idea, he’ll cave into it immediately.” Namjoon chuckles and Jungkook smiles.
“C’mon, let’s go.”
Namjoon kicks the blanket off his legs before standing up. Jungkook’s eyes immediately become glued to the man’s thighs because of how short his shorts are. They were a pair of Jin’s and they were a tight fit.
The elevator ride up to the next floor is short and quiet… And full of Jungkook staring. Not that Namjoon minded or thought to comment on. He didn’t want the kid to feel bad and draw back into his shell. Besides… No one’s ever given Namjoon so much attention before without him getting groped too.
To their surprise, the elevator doors open to reveal Seokjin watching a movie on his TV. It’s not a movie Jungkook is familiar with but it looks interesting to him. The eldest looks towards them, shock clear on his face.
“What are you two doing up?” Seokjin asks, glancing at his phone, probably to check the time.
“Jungkook couldn’t sleep. So we thought to move the sleepover up here with you. Didn’t expect you to be wide awake though.” Namjoon answers, chuckling a little towards the end. Seokjin smiles and waves them over.
“Sit down, sit down. Grab a blanket. Any blanket… I know it’s too late to be asking but are those shorts too tight for you, Namjoon-ah?” Seokjin asks, glancing at the shorts before noticing where Jungkook’s gaze is.
“They’re fine, trust me.” Namjoon assures him as he sits down on Seokjin’s left. Jungkook sits down next to Namjoon and immediately curls up inside the blanket.
“Why are you up, hyung?” Namjoon asks, ruffling his hair. Seokjin lets out a low hum, glancing between the movie and Namjoon.
“I have a bit of insomnia… At least that’s what one of my friends thinks. I just have an irregular sleeping pattern. I’ll be asleep in about two hours or so.” Seokjin replies, resting his head on the arm of the couch.
“Well, we’ll keep you company until you fall asleep… But I’ll probably fall asleep first so slap me if I start snoring.” Namjoon states with a smile. Jungkook can’t help but smile as well because Namjoon will definitely snore.
