Chapter 14 - Chapter 14:Kaito

Jungkook sat down at the computer station, cracking his knuckles in preparation. RM leaned in, his voice low. "Alright, Jungkook. We need you to hack into the security cameras in the area where Kaito was last spotted. See if we can get a visual on him."

Jungkook's fingers hovered over the keyboard, ready to start work. "I will do it," he said, "but don't forget the condition."

RM raised an eyebrow. "What's the condition?"

Jungkook's gaze drifted to Taehyung, who was standing across the room, a hint of a smirk on his face. "I want him to look at me," Jungkook said, his voice deadpan.

Taehyung's eyes snapped to Jungkook, a spark of amusement dancing in their depths. RM's expression remained serious, but a small smile played on his lips. "I'll make sure to pass on the message," he said dryly.

As Jungkook's fingers flew across the keyboard, the Shadows watched in impressed silence. In a matter of minutes, Jungkook had bypassed the security system's firewalls and gained access to the cameras.

RM's eyes narrowed, his expression thoughtful. "Impressive," he said, as the screens flickered to life, displaying the feeds from the security cameras.

Suga leaned in, his voice low. "You're good. Really good."

Jungkook's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, his fingers moving swiftly as he navigated the system. "Just doing my thing," he said, his focus on the screens.

The Shadows exchanged glances, their respect for Jungkook's skills growing. Taehyung's eyes lingered on Jungkook, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Looks like we've got a valuable asset on our hands," he said, his voice dripping with amusement.

Jungkook's eyes scanned the footage, his brow furrowed in concentration. As he watched Kaito's movements, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.

"Kaito's behavior seems...strange," Jungkook said, his voice thoughtful. "He's being too cautious, too calculated. It's like he's trying to throw us off his trail."

RM leaned in, his eyes locked on the screen. "What makes you think that?"

Jungkook pointed to a specific moment in the footage. "Look at how he's avoiding the main streets, taking detours through alleys. And see how he's constantly checking his surroundings? It's like he's trying to make sure he's not being followed."

Suga nodded, his expression serious. "That does seem suspicious. Maybe Kaito knows we're onto him."

Jungkook's eyes narrowed. "Or maybe there's something more to this than we think."

"Are you a mafia member because your being to good." J-hope said.Jungkook chuckled, shaking his head. "I'm positive I'm not a mafia member, J-Hope. I'm just a...freelancer, let's say."

J-Hope raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his voice. "A freelancer with skills like that? You're either a genius or a troublemaker."

Jungkook grinned, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Maybe a little bit of both?"

The Shadows members laughed except Taehyung and Suga they just smirk, and RM smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Whatever you are, Jungkook, you're definitely useful to have around."

The last place where Kaito was seen is when he was entering a building.

Jungkook rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes squinting slightly from the prolonged screen time. "Alright, I think I've got something. But I'm going to need some time to process all the footage and see if I can track Kaito's movements after he entered that building."

RM nodded, his expression serious. "Take all the time you need, Jungkook. We can't afford to miss anything."

Jungkook nodded, his fingers already flying across the keyboard as he began to work his magic on the computer. "I'll see if I can tap into the building's internal security cameras. It's going to be a challenge, though - their system is pretty robust."

Suga leaned in, his voice low. "Good luck with that. We need all the help we can get to catch Kaito."

Jungkook's eyes locked onto the screen, his focus intense. "Don't worry, I'll get it done. But like I said, it's going to take some time."

Jungkook let out a sigh, his eyes fixed on the screen as he waited for the computer to process the footage. He leaned back in his chair, his gaze drifting around the room.

Across from him, Jimin was intently examining the guns laid out on the table, his eyes wide with excitement. Jungkook watched him for a moment, a small smile playing on his lips.

The other Shadows members were busy at work, each focused on their respective tasks. Suga was typing away on his laptop, while J-Hope was studying a map of the city. RM was on a phone call, his voice low and serious. Jin was quietly observing the room, his eyes taking in every detail, a thoughtful expression on his face.

And then there was Taehyung, sitting at a nearby desk, signing paperwork with a flourish. Jungkook's eyes landed on him, and he felt a spark of mischief ignite within him. He couldn't resist the opportunity to tease Taehyung, and he made a mental note to do so as soon as possible.

Jungkook pushed his chair back and stood up, a sly grin spreading across his face. He walked over to Taehyung, who looked up from the paperwork, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Can I help you, Jungkook?" Taehyung asked, his voice neutral.

Jungkook leaned against the desk, his eyes locked on Taehyung's. "You know exactly why I'm here," he said, his voice low and playful.

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, a spark of amusement dancing in his eyes. "I'm not sure I'm following," he said, his voice dripping with innocence.

Jungkook's grin grew wider. "Don't play dumb, Taehyung. You know what I want."

Taehyung's face darkened slightly as he felt a surge of irritation. "Just tell me already, what do you want?" he said, his voice a bit sharp.

Jungkook's grin returned, and he said, his voice low and playful, "I want you to look at me."

Taehyung's eyes narrowed, his expression incredulous. "That's it? You're holding up work for that?"
