Jimin continued with a playful tone, "I guess you could say our first meeting was quite memorable, even if you don't remember it. That was the day I fell in love with you. The way you were shouting at me, the way you looked, the way your cheeks had a dimple while talking. I fell for you. It was like discovering a rare gem in the midst of the ordinary. Over the past two months, I delved into the tapestry of your life—your likes, dislikes, your nature, your background, your job. Every detail added colour to the canvas of my emotions, and I fell deeply in love with you."

Jungkook sat there, mouth hanging open as he processed the information. The revelation that a mafia leader had fallen in love with him left him in disbelief. He had read numerous romance books where the protagonist was entangled with the world of mafias, but he had never imagined something like this would happen to him.

"And why would loving me make me your weak point?" Jungkook asked, a mix of confusion and curiosity colouring his tone.

Jimin sighed, his gaze momentarily dropping before lifting again to meet Jungkook's eyes. "In the world I live in, emotions, especially love, are considered weaknesses. They can be exploited, used against you. And for someone like me, leading a powerful gang, having a weakness is dangerous. They discovered my feelings for you, and that vulnerability became a leverage they sought to exploit."

The air in the room felt charged with unspoken emotions, the revelation of Jimin's love for Jungkook exposing a side of the mafia world that transcended the conventional narratives of power and control.

Jimin explained, "I didn't want to kidnap you and force you to love me or whatever. I never wanted you to do that, and I wanted you to live your life freely. So, I didn't even approach you earlier. But, I can't compromise your safety. And that is the only reason I brought you here. That too, not by any random gang members but by V. V is my best friend and the person I trust the most in the world. I knew he would bring you here safely and calm you down."

Jungkook nodded, feeling a bit safe and warm as he gave a small smile, finally. Jimin smiled widely, looking at Jungkook's smile. However, Jungkook's smile disappeared, and he asked in a small, uncertain voice, "Can I ask you one more question? Don't get angry, please." 

Jimin nodded, encouraging Jungkook to ask the question. Jungkook asked in a small, almost inaudible voice, "You aren't going to force me into something, are you?"

Jimin smiled and replied, "No. I am not going to touch you without your consent. I'm not even going to touch your hair if you feel uncomfortable. And no one here is going to make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe in any way. If they do, you tell me or V. We'll take care of it. All of my family, I mean my gang... We live together and are like a family. They will care for you like their own. Don't worry. Come on, I'll introduce you to my family."

Jimin's reassurance created a sense of security for Jungkook, weaving a delicate thread of trust. Jungkook nodded, deciding to himself that he would give this situation a try. Instead of dwelling on it, he resolved to make the best out of it, hoping to find new friends.

Jimin then led him out of the office room into the living room, which he had not seen earlier. In the living room, 5-6 people were sitting, waiting for them. Jimin walked in, followed by Jungkook, who stood behind Jimin, a bit scared yet willing to give this a chance.

As he looked around the living room, Jungkook recognized only two faces: one was V, and the other was the blonde-haired guy. The rest were unfamiliar, their eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of warmth as they glanced at Jungkook.

Jimin introduced, "Guys, this is Jeon Jungkook. And Jungkook, meet my family."

As Jimin went around introducing everyone, Jungkook observed the diverse personalities in the room. The first person was a tall guy with charming dimples and a robust physique. Jimin spoke, "This is Namjoon Hyung."

Next was a man with an effortlessly handsome appearance introduced as Jin Hyung. Another guy, with vibrant red hair and a welcoming aura, was introduced as Hoseok.

The blonde-haired guy from earlier was revealed to be Yoongi, and V was introduced as Taehyung. Each member of Jimin's "family" displayed a unique personality, and Jungkook couldn't help but notice the sense of camaraderie among them. 

Jimin spoke with warmth, "All of these are my family. And you are a new addition to our family. Feel comfortable with them; we're all going to take good care of you."

Jin Hyung, a tall figure with a gentle smile, suddenly asked, "Are you hungry, or have you had your dinner?"

Jungkook's lips curved into a small smile at the genuine concern. He replied, "Actually, I had my dinner during my shift."

Jin nodded and said, "Okay, then you should sleep. It is quite late. Jimin, show him to his room. Jungkook, dear, if you need anything or want anything, just tell us. We will get it for you."

Jungkook's heart warmed at the affection he was receiving from everyone. He nodded, expressing his gratitude, and Jimin led him back to his room. After ensuring Jungkook was comfortable, Jimin left the room, closing the door behind him, and went to his own room.

In his room, Jimin couldn't shake off the mix of emotions swirling within him. The unexpected turn of events had brought Jungkook into his life in a way he never anticipated. As he lay on his bed, Jimin couldn't help but wonder how their stories would unfold within the intricate web of the mafia world, love, and unforeseen connections.

In the quiet of the night, Jimin, unable to find sleep, decided to check on his friends for some company. He stepped out of his room and made his way to Yoongi's room, hoping to find a familiar face and a comforting conversation.

However, upon opening the door, he found Yoongi's room empty. A frown creased Jimin's forehead, surprised by the absence of his friend. Shaking off the curiosity, he moved on, heading towards Taehyung's room in search of companionship to ease his restless mind.

Jimin knocked on Taehyung's door, and a muffled "come in" invited him inside. Taehyung was sitting on his bed, engrossed in a book, and he looked up, giving Jimin a questioning gaze.

Jimin sighed, "Couldn't sleep. Mind some company?"

Taehyung patted the space beside him, "Not at all. Sit. What's on your mind?"

Jimin's voice echoed with concern and fear as he confided in Taehyung. "This is wrong. Whatever is happening is wrong. All of us know it. Jungkook was not supposed to get involved in our life. That is the main reason I never approached him despite being in love with him. What do I do now? I am scared. What if he gets harmed somehow? I can bear anything but him getting harmed. I can't understand what to do."

Taehyung smiled reassuringly, keeping his hand firmly on Jimin's shoulder. He spoke with unwavering determination, "Jimin, you are not wrong. You took a decision that was necessary. We did what we had to. Jungkook is going to be safe. We are going to ensure that. I am not going to let any trouble or grief come your way or Jungkook's way. Don't worry. I'll guard him with my life. I'll keep him safe. I want nothing but your happiness, which lies with Jungkook. So, I want nothing but Jungkook's happiness. We are going to keep him away from this world and completely safe. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to him. You have my word."

Jimin smiled at Taehyung, "Thank you, Tae. That means a lot to me. I completely believe in you. I hope you find someone who gives you happiness too. Anyways, have you seen Yoongi? He is not in his room."

Taehyung replied, "You should go and sleep. I'll check up on him."

Jimin nodded and went to his room, leaving Taehyung alone. The mansion echoed with quietude, each member absorbed in their thoughts, their interconnected lives weaving a complex tapestry of relationships within the walls of safety and secrecy. Taehyung, after a moment of contemplation, set out to find Yoongi, determined to ensure everyone's well-being.
