You sighed loudly. "Taehyung."

You were reaching for the knife that you always kept in your backpack, and successfully got it out. "Be a little more excited to see me, princess."

You turned around and crossed your arms. "What do you want this time?"

"You, baby."

"No."

"I wasn't asking."

You shrugged. "You're still not getting what you want."

You took off and cornered the building. You jumped up to where a ladder was hanging about a quarter from the ground, attached to the building, but Taehyung caught your foot and yanked you down.

Taehyung pushed you into the wall, kissing your neck, so you elbowed him in the rib cage and he let go. "Don't touch me, Taehyung."

He grabbed your hair and pulled you towards the ground. He grabbed your knife out of your hand and stabbed you in the side with it. You grunted, holding back a scream. He yanked your hair one more time and bent down.

"Don't disrespect me like that again." He growled.

"Watch your back, Taehyung."

He got up and left you there, so you mustered up the strength to push off the ground and get up. You walked to the parking lot and saw Hoetaek through the windshield of his car, and it looked like he didn't see anything happen. Hyojong, Changgu, Hongseok and Hyunggu, however, looked like they were about to flip.

As you kept walking, it started getting harder to walk. You started getting dizzy and your vision began to go dark. You fell onto your knees, holding your side. You heard the car doors open, but you kept getting weaker due to very fast blood loss. You felt a pair of strong arms lift you up, and before you could see who it was, you completely blacked out.

The four boys had seen everything, and when Hyojong scooped you up and got you back to the car, he told Hoetaek to book it back to the house. When they got back, Soonyoung opened the door, saw what had happened, and yelled for Seungcheol.

At the urgency of it, Seungcheol and everyone else ran down the stairs, freezing as soon as they saw you. Seungcheol walked up to Hyojong, sudden tears in his eyes. You almost looked dead.

"She's breathing," Hoetaek started. "She just blacked out."

Seungcheol let out a sigh of relief and told Hyojong to set you on the couch. He came back with stuff to clean your wound with, and as he was putting the bandage on it, you started to wake up. You tried to sit up, but Hyunggu pushed you back down, gently.

"Don't sit up." He whispered.

You furrowed your eyebrows. "Why is everyone here?"

As you thought about it, Seungcheol saw the look of realization in your eyes. "Uh oh."

Pentagon, not being used to your rage, gave Seungcheol a questioning look at his worried tone. "What?"

"He stabbed me with my own knife!" You shouted. "He said we were done!"

"Who are you talking about?" Seungcheol asked.

"Taehyung!"

You got up and started walking towards the training room. "Seungbi, it's a no if you're thinking about going in there." Jeonghan said.

"Fine, but I'm still training, and there's nothing you can do about it." You snapped, walking into the training room anyways.

You were grabbing knives and setting up targets when everyone walked in. "Seungbi, we're confused." Yanan said, his voice soft.

"Do you want me to explain, Seungcheol?" You asked.

He nodded. "You can tell them, I trust them."

"Okay," you paused, looking at Pentagon. "Have ever heard of the mafia that goes by Seventeen?"

"Yeah, they're pretty known. Why?" Yuto asked.

"It's us, and Seungcheol and I are the leaders." You said. "The guy that attacked me is part of another mafia."

"Our baby is all grown up." Hongseok and Hyunggu said in unison.

"All of this is really cool, don't get me wrong." Shinwon said. "But you probably need your rest."

You sighed, knowing that he was right. "I know."

"You guys can stay over if you'd like." Seungcheol said.

The boys cheered, and Seungkwan suddenly threw his hands up. "I'm hungry again!"

You went to the dining room to eat, but the boys ended up fighting over who would stay with you that night. "Wait," Joshua said. "How did confronting Jihun go?"

"It went good. We're still friends, and Lola is in our friend group now."

"Great!" Chan exclaimed. "Now any of us can stay with you- for protection purposes, obviously."

Seungcheol laughed, shaking his head. "Chan, you can stay with Seungbi tonight."

When the two of you got up to your room, you looked at him from your bed, making him tilt his head. "Yes?"

"Nothing." You replied. "Thank you for staying with me. I really need to thank everyone."

"It's no problem." He reassured. "It's our job to protect you, Seungbi."
