Nico carefully checked and bandaged the boys' wounds. Above her head, all eyes were on Yoongi, who was watching his wife with furrowed brows. "You've got nothing more than scratches," Nico announced almost cheerfully, turning to put everything in the first aid kit.

Jin pursed his lips and nodded at Yoongi in Nico's direction, who stood up and walked to the kitchen to return the box to its place. "You know what she does, don't you?" Namjoon asked once he was sure she couldn't hear them.

Of course Yoongi knew. Every single one of them had lost a loved one at some point in their lives and Nico's demeanor, her smile, her body language, everything showed them that she was trying her best to push the thought and pain of realizing that her father is dead. She was in denial and if she didn't accept it and cry, the grief would start to eat her from the inside out and bring her down just when she should be at her strongest.

Yoongi stood up with a sigh and walked into the kitchen to find her rummaging through the fridge. "Nico?" she turned and looked at him with a smile. "I'll prepare something to eat, you must be hungry, at least I am" he sighed and approached her, hugging her tightly, Nico froze .

"I'm sorry, baby" Yoongi whispered into her neck. "For what?" her voice was calm, too calm, and Yoongi turned her towards him, cupping her face. "I'm sorry about your dad, Nico" she blinked in confusion. "About my dad? Why?" Yoongi gritted his teeth, looking at her like that hurt him, but what was about to happen next hurt him even more.

"Baby, I know this isn't what we expected, but..." she cut him off. "My father just can't accept our marriage, but he loves me and when he thinks about it, he will" she smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Nico, we both know that man wasn't your father" he slid his hands down her arms. "I don't know who it was, but if he shows up and publicly claims to be Lee Tasso, then that means your father is..." he bit his tongue. "...dead" he finished and took her hands, bringing them to his lips.

"No, you don't understand, YonYon, he's just angry..." Nico shook her head and Yoongi saw realization slowly creeping into her eyes. "He tried to kill you ,baby, you heard him, his only child is that Ki" she shook her head, already consciously trying to dismiss what she heard.

"No, no, you're wrong, he just..." her tears flowed and he rushed to hug her when Nico finally surrendered to the facts. She wasn't stupid, denial was just a defense mechanism that, after everything she'd been through the past few months, was supposed to protect her mind and psyche.

"He's not, he can't be dead, he wouldn't leave me alone!" Nico began to whisper into his chest, her tears wetting his shirt, her fists clutching his jacket. "He wouldn't leave me, he wouldn't leave me!!!" she suddenly screamed, looking at him imploringly. "Tell me it's a lie, Yoongi, tell me it's not true..." he gritted his teeth, shaking his head.

"I'm sorry baby I'm so sorry..." was all he could say before she broke into hysterical crying and he scooped her up in his arms carrying her to the bedroom. He was sure Nico wouldn't want the others to see her like that.

"How is she?" JHope asked sullenly when two hours later, Yoongi returned to them in the living room. "Sleep, otherwise I have no idea, I've never seen her in this state and I don't know what to expect" Yoongi sighed, relaxing heavily on the sofa. The last two hours had been excruciating for him, he had held Nico in his arms while she cried her eyes out, trembling and trying to accept her father's death.

"What are we going to do?" Namjoon asked, staring angrily at his toes. "We?" Yoongi asked and got six head nods. "Of course we! What did you expect, to stand aside?" Jin gasped indignantly and Yoongi smiled wryly. "Of course not, where am I without you" Yoongi shook his head.

"Yoongi, the moment you fell in love with that woman and decided to make her your wife, she became a part of Bangtan, and we don't leave our own to fight alone, you know that," Jin snapped and Yoongi nodded. He knew it, of course. "Besides, you love her, and that's just one more reason why I'm behind you both" Namjoon smiled.

"Who says I.." Yoongi sulkily shut up when JHope cut him off."You don't have to say it, it's obvious!" he smirked. "Yeah, yeah, you always know best" Yoongi crossed his arms over his chest, still pouting. "That brings us back to the question, what are we going to do?" Taehyung asked, standing up and pacing angrily back and forth.

"For starters, let's find out who is the man who impersonated Lee Tasso?" Namjoon suggested. "Then how does he manage to look like him? Plastic surgery?" Jimin added and everyone looked thoughtfully at the floor as if all the answers were written there. "More interestingly, if the real Lee Tasso is dead, why is the usurper hiding behind his face and why does he want to adopt Ki when he's clearly his biological son?" Jin muttered, rubbing his forehead.

"The man's name is Gyo Siam, Ki's father." Yoongi jumped to his feet. "I thought you were sleeping,baby!" she shook her head, leaning against his chest. Her eyes were puffy and filled with deep sorrow, but she was trying to stay strong. "I don't know how he wears my father's face, but I know why" she sighed and intertwined her fingers with Yoongi.

"Years ago, even though he knew I wouldn't be accepted, my father wrote a will naming me as his heir." Nico bit her lip. "My father held his people, they would follow no one but him or his true heir, and those who were closest to him know me." she furrowed her brows thoughtfully.

"Without the will and given that my death was not proven, but tonight some of his close people must have seen me" Nico looked at the boys. "That's probably why he wants to have legal documents that Ki is the rightful heir by adopting him. Then my 'father' will probably die suddenly" she broke free from Yoongi's arms and headed to the bar to get a drink.

"If this doesn't happen, Gyo will have no power over the assets and resources of the Lee family, because they are under the control not only of my father, but also of two of his closest and trusted people, with whom he has quite a close past." Nico drank her whiskey in one gulp, closing his eyes and enjoying the sensation of the alcohol.

"There is no other explanation" she looked at Yoongi. "They're going to attack and this time they want to make sure I'm dead before I can assert my rights by showing my father's will and declaring you his heir" Yoongi raised his eyebrows. "Me?" he pointed to his chest in confusion and she nodded. "Even with the will, I'm still a woman and none of the other families will take me in. My husband though, that's another matter, revealing who you are will only strengthen your position" Nico answered with confidence in her voice.

"Do you know where your father's will is?" Jin asked and Nico looked at him nodding. "So this is it, Bangtan will fight for real this time. With your father's will and your marriage certificate, all we have to do is expose the fake Lee Tasso" JHope looked at Yoongi. "You have no choice, Yoongi, Lee is your wife's family" Namjoon grinned and Yoongi rolled his eyes in resignation.
