...

Jungkook sat with Hwasa, chatting. She was telling him about her outing with Moonbyul and how some poor guy came to hit on her only to get a cool rejection. He didn't give up though, he came to her five more times trying, saying that persistent guys have more chances than those who give up. He just didn't know to take no for an answer.

-'' He was drunk, saying that his little friend feels hot. So she grabbed his pants, and unbuttoned them, in the middle of the bar.'' - Hwasa was brushing at her tears from laughing as she spoke, pointing downwards with her finger. – ''He was staring at her in panic and shock, and she poured her iced drink into his underwear, saying: There, no problem anymore.''

Jungkook and Yugyeom roared with laughter. Jackson shivered. – '' That's cruel.'' – He says with a chuckle.

-'' Only to you because you would be the same pain in the ass.'' – Yugyeom says still laughing.

-'' Fuck off!'' – Jackson points his middle fingers at him.

-'' Hwasa! Gyeom! '' - Just then Jinyoung burst into the room. – '' Bank robbery. Hostages. Min Gook Bank. Let's go!''

-'' Ah, fuck.'' – Gyueom curses, jumping on his feet. – '' I need to call Hyung.''

-'' JB is already on its way.'' – Jinyoung says and disappears with Yugyeom on his heels.

-'' Be safe.'' – Jungkook says to Hwasa.

She gives him a wicked smile. – '' Ain't I always?''

Jackson snorts at that. – '' You are worse than him!'' – He says pointing to Jungkook.

She smirks. – '' No one is worse than him in that.'' – She winks and quickly leaves.

-'' Sometimes I hate how quickly things can change.'' – Jackson sighs. – '' In one moment we are hanging out, having a laugh, and in next it's hell break loose somewhere and we are called.''

Jungkook nods. – '' I know what you mean, Hyung.''

His thoughts drifted to Jimin and Taehyung. He hasn't seen either of them since he said goodbye to Taehyung and after he dropped Jimin off at Hyung's boat this morning.

Jimin was nervous and uncomfortable, Jungkook remembers. His insecurities were dampening his confident court persona and he wanted to hide when Hoseok saw him dressed up as a woman. But Hobi was cheerful and welcoming, and quickly reassured Jimin that things will be more than fine, and that they will become good friends.

They said their goodbyes to Jungkook, who stayed looking at the boat leaving the marina. He felt something heavy around his heart as he watches them disappear.

It's strange how much things had changed since the beginning of the year. How many people came into Jungkook's life and stayed there. The thing he had with Taehyung and Jimin, for example, was huge, as well as his temporal transfer to Yoongi's team, and all the trouble it brought him. He was very lucky that he managed to get out of some of those troubles alive.

He suddenly remembers someone and he turns toward Jackson to ask. - ''Hyung.''

-'' Hmm?'' – Jackson hums, eyes not moving from his crosswords.

-'' How is our little Cheetah?'' – He asks, thinking of Bam-Bam.

Jackson raises his eyes to glance at Jungkook, a wide smile spread on his face. – '' Fiesty as always.''

He leans back in his chair. – '' Only two days ago he whined because I didn't find him a bloody pedicure lady.'' – Jackson says in a disbelieving voice. – ' He says I don't give him to go out and his nails grew too big, making his shoes uncomfortable.''

Jungkook laughs and Jackson continues in a hushed tone, leaning closer. – '' Like his life is not in danger. He made it look like I took him on some bad vacation, he is always complaining.''

-'' He acts like a spoiled boyfriend.'' – Jungkook says, quite amused.

-'' Heavens forbid.'' – Jackson leans back, shaking his head.

Jungkook laughs again when his phone rings. He checks who is it and answers quickly. -'' Hey, Hyung.''

-'' Kook, Jinyoung told me they are on their way, but I need another set of eyes on this, are you free?'' – Jaebum asks.

Jungkook stands up, grabbing at his jacket. – '' Just send me the location, Hyung. I'm on my way.''

-'' Good lad.'' – Jaebum smiles.

When he arrived, the Korean National Police was already there. The place around the bank was secured and buzzing with tension. His eyes found Jaebum who talked to one of the members of the National Police. His posture was a bit rigid which meant, Jungkook recognizes, that the two men didn't find eye to eye on something. Jeabum turns and started walking away and Jungkook needs to jog a few steps to reach him.

-'' Hyung.''

-'' Good, you are here. Come.'' – Jaebum says.

-'' Is everything alright?'' – Jungkook asked, observing the muscle flex tightly on the older man's jaw.

-'' Don't worry about it. They are just being assholes.''

-'' Who? KNP?'' – He asks.

-'' Yeah, they think they are the most important now.'' – Jaebum says, chuckling. – '' You know, one thing I've learned over the years is that these guys don't have much respect for what we do.''

-'' What do you mean?'' – Jungkook asks.

-'' For them, this is a tactical situation, and us being here means there is a mental side to it that they don't get.''

Jungkook looked towards the bank. –'' Did they make contact? Do they want to negotiate?''

-'' Not that I know. Gyeom is there. Come.''

He leads Jungkook toward the van, and there was Yugyeom with a few other KNP.

-'' What's the situation?'' – Jaebum asks.

Gyeom turns as they approach, winks at Jungkook and began reciting. – '' Five suspects, around thirty-something hostages. The video system in the bank was cut, so we have no extra info.''

-'' Are you working on it?'' – Jeabum asks one of the tactical team.

-'' Yes, sir. We are working on downloading it from the main security base. It will take some time, though.'' – The answers.

-'' Work faster, we need to know what's happening there.'' – Jaebum gave an order, and the man bowed and disappears. – ''Gyeom, what else?''

-'' The entire block is cleared. We have men on the windows.''

-'' Who is in charge there?''

-'' Lee Taemin.'' – Gyeom answers. – '' He and Onew split and got two sides covered.''

Jungkook was pleasantly surprised to hear that Taemin is actively back on the field again. Since his partner, Jonghyun died on duty two years ago, he was mostly in the office. It seems that his new partner, Lee Jinki, better known as Onew, convinced him to use his talent in action again. Both of them were amazing snipers, rarely missing the target, which is precisely what they need right now.

-'' Good.'' – Jeabum nods in approval.

-'' Check if there are any underground tunnels under the building through which they could escape.'' – Jungkook chimed in. Both men look at him and Jeabum smiles. – '' Good idea.'' – He pats Jungkook on the shoulder. – '' I knew I needed you here.'' – He grins wider, eyes disappearing into crescents. He turns toward Gyeom. – '' Tell them to check for the tunnels.''

-'' On it.'' – Gyeom nods.

-'' What about phone lines?''- Jaebum asks.

-'' Cut and diverted.'' – Gyeom answers instantly while tapping something on his phone. – '' Only we can be connected.''

-'' Where are Hyung and Noona?'' – Jungkook asks.

-'' They went to talk with the bank officials, and to check their status.'' – Yugyeom answered. – '' They should be back soon.''

Jungkook nods. – '' Alright, I'll let you do your work. I'll sniff around a bit.''

-'' Alright, go sniff something good.'' – JB sends him off with those words.

He goes around, watching. The robbers still didn't contact Yugyeom, but it's a matter of time. They've been there for an hour and a half and pretty soon they will have to demand something, if not transportation, then at least food and water.

Jungkook just hoped they will not hurt the hostages.

Another half an hour has passed before they called, demanding exactly that – food and water.

-'' Jungkookie, where are you?'' – Yoongi asked.

-'' Did you hear about the bank robbery in progress?'' – Jungkook asks, and when Yoongi hums affirmative, Jungkook adds. – '' Well, there.''

-'' How's the situation?''

-'' So far unchangeable, but they did demand food.''

-'' Yes, the first order of things. Is there something specific they want, or just the usual?'' – Yoongi asks.

-'' Nothing for now.'' – Jungkook answers and Yoongi hums in wonder again.

-'' Hmm...strange. They usually want a plane or some shit like that by now.''

-'' I know.''

There is a certain commotion, and Jungkook looks around to see what's going on. – '' Hyung, something is happening, I gotta go. I'll call you if there are any changes.''

-'' Alright.'' – Yoongi agrees. –'' Keep me posted.''

Just then, Jungkook remembers that Yoongi called him for something. –'' Hyung.''

-'' Yeah.''

-'' You called me about something, what is it?''

-'' Nothing that it can't wait. Go, and be careful, Kook-ah. '' – Yoongi dismisses him and cut the line.

Jungkook went to the vans where the robbers made another contact, asking for someone to talk to.

Oh, boy, this would be a long night. Jungkook thought.

But it wasn't.

They asked for a female, and Hwasa was an obvious choice. She was to go in unarmed and to hear them out. She went in quickly and exited some five minutes later with a toddler screaming in her arms, and a young boy, clutching at her hands.

-'' Here, take her.'' – She says, giving the toddler to Jaebum, and then turning to the boy. – '' Do you see this nice man over there?'' – She points at Jinyoung.- '' He will take you somewhere safe and give you strawberry milk, how's that sounds?''

-'' I want my mommy.'' – The boy nearly cried.

-'' I know sweety, we will get her out.'' – She says with a smile and looks at Jinyoung who just sighs and reach for the boy.

-'' Come, let's find you something to drink. Are you hungry?'' – Jungkook heard him saying while they started walking away.

Gyeom says with amusement. – '' So they ask for you so you can take the kids? Pff...they had no idea that you are the worst choice.'' - He teases her and she smacks him on the shoulder.

-'' Bunch of sexist bastards.'' – She hisses. – '' Just because I'm a woman.''

-'' My point exactly.'' – Yugyeom grins and promptly turns to see Jaebum rocking the toddler gently who stopped crying and was now sucking at her thumb, eyes dropping close like she was to fall asleep.

-'' How?'' – She asks in disbelief.

Jeabum smiles. – '' A gift.'' – Is all he says, patting the child's back while hugging her.

-'' You will be a great father one day.'' – Jungkook says, and he really means it.

-'' Yeah.'' – Yugyeom nods. – '' As soon as he finds someone to make it with. No luck in females compartment.''

-'' Hwasa, if you please, my hands are full.'' – Jaebum says, glaring at his partner, and Hwasa, rather devilishly, flick Gyeom on the head.

-'' Ouch.'' – Their victim protests.

-'' You are bratty today.'' – She says.

Gyeom turns. – '' Well, we can't be as bitchy as you.''

Jungkook chuckles when she swats him on the head again.

-'' Hwasa, did you manage to see something?'' – Jaebum asks.

-'' Oh, yeah.'' – She grins.

In the end, the entire thing was done in less than two hours. Jaebum's team, together with Hwasa and Jinyoung managed to break through, and overpower them, while Yugyeom, who was always good with his words, diverted their attention with clever negotiating. He and Jungkook stayed behind to make sure everything runs freely.

-'' I hope everything ends well.'' – Yugyeom murmurs more to himself than for Jungook's sake, who was now pacing like a tiger, irritated that he had to stay behind. But Yoongi had called Jaebum and ordered that Jungkook not be included in the charging team. Hense, Jungkook's annoyance.

Jaebum ordered smoke bombs, and to take them down with rubber bullets. There was retaliation, one of the men was really wild, opening fire randomly at the cops, hitting two in their vests, and scratching one in the arm, but was promptly stopped by a bullet in the head. No one was hurt seriously, which was rare luck.

Jungkook went to take the hostages who were now running out in panic. Soon, their team exits with the robbers bound. All would end well if one of the hostages didn't suddenly bump into one of the cops taking his gun from its holster.

He aims at Jinyoung and shoots. In the blink of an eye, Hwasa jumps past Jungkook and in front of Jinyoung as the bullet was shot. Jungkook pull out the gun, as well as did Jaebum, but one of the snipers was faster and shot the man straight in the head.

They share a look and then a blood-freezing scream jerked them towards Jinyoung. He was on the ground, with Hwasa in his arms, blood oozing from her neck in fast spurts.

-'' No!!!'' – Jungkook screams and the world turned to chaos.

How Jungkook found himself in the ER he didn't know. He remembers the ambulance taking Hwasa away, with Jinyoung next to her, holding her hand. Jungkook wanted so badly to rush with them, but he had to stay with JB and Gyeom to make sure the hostages were indeed hostages, and that they are safe. It was a bloody mess. How can this have happened? How did the guy skip their notice?

JB and he reach the hospital as soon as they can, Gyeom staying behind to finish the work. They found Jinyong in the waiting room, shaking and crying. They thought worse.

- '' Hyung...'' – Jungkook calls weakly. – ''Noona, she is not...is she?''

Jinyoung raised his head to look at them. His eyes were wet and red. He sniffs, shaking his head. – '' She was alive when they got her in. Taehyun is operating her right now.''

Jungkook sighs in relief and went to him, placing one hand on his shoulder. Jaebum chose to pace in front of them.

-'' Fuck, it's my fault!'' – Jinyoung buried his face in his hands, his entire body rocking in the seat.

Jungkook sat next to him, hand squeezing. – '' It's not your fault, Hyung.''- He says gently but firmly. – '' Noona is gonna be okay.''

-'' You don't know that!'' – Jinyoung shouts in distress.

-'' I have high hopes in both Noona's will to live, and Taehyun's ability to help her do exactly that.'' – Jungkook says, patting Jinyoung's shoulder.

-'' No, it's my fault. I should have protected her! I should notice him.'' – His body shook from the sobs. – '' S-She jumped to s-save me. I should have saved h-her. But I failed!''

He leans back in his seat, staring at the ceiling with his eyes full of tears. – ''And now she is here, fighting for her life. Because of me!''

Right then Jaebum grabbed him on his jacket lappels, shaking him. – '' Enough!'' – He growls. – '' It's not your fault! Stop blaming yourself for things beyond your power. You can't protect everyone!'' – He shakes him again, their faces close. Jaebum's eyes were full of fury, sadness and iron. – '' She is a big girl. She is the toughest cookie here! Tougher than you, me, this muscle pig right here...'' – He nods towards Jungkook, and he knows it's not been said in a bad way. It was their inner joke.

- '' She would kick your ass seeing you do this to yourself, especially at her expense!'' – JB adds.

He let go of Jinyoung, who brushed at his face, sniffing loudly. – ''She can kick my ass anytime if that means she will be alright.'' – He says brokenly. The pain in his eyes was so strong that Jaebum placed his hand in Jinyoung's locks, patting him.

-'' She will be alright. I know she will.'' – He sighs with difficulty. – '' She'll make it.'' – He whispers.

At that Jinyoung's face scrunches in pain and he buries it in Jaebum's side, clutching at his leg.

Jungkook leans his head on the wall behind him, taking a deep breath and blinking his tears away.

Some three and a half hours later, Taehyun came into the waiting room. By now, Mark, Jackson, Gyeom, Taemin and Onew, Moonbyul and Yoong had joined them. They all stood and came closer.

-'' The surgery went well.'' – Taehyun says. There are sighs of relief everywhere in the room. – '' But...'' – He continues, calling for their attention again. – '' The bullet wound was near the spinal cord. I managed to extract the bullet without further damage, but she lost a lot of blood. She is in a coma right now, and the first 24 hours are critical. We should know more after that.''

The silence in the room was deafening.

-'' Taehyunie, do you think she could make it?'' – Jungkook stepped forward, looking at the young man anxiously.

Taehyun sighs. – '' I can't tell you with certainty, Hyung. We all react differently. I did everything in my power, and I mean everything I possibly could. The rest is up to her.''

Jungkook nods and steps back. Yoongi and Jaebum had a few more questions for Taehyun, who answer them tiredly. He looked at Jinyoung, said that he will send a nurse with some sedative and went back to work. His night shift has a long way to go.

-'' I'm sorry that I didn't see him on time.'' – Onew says, feeling guilty. – '' He got into my aim only after he took the shoot. I'm so sorry.''

-'' Hey, stop it, it's not your fault. I was watching, too.'' – Taemin says, squeezing Jinki's shoulder in support. –'' I saw him reaching for the gun, but I haven't got a clear shot.''

-'' It's not either of your faults.'' – Jaebum says firmly. – '' I don't even blame that cop. He was a fool for allowing his gun to be taken, but still, it was chaos out there with all the hostages panicking.''

-'' He deserves a punch in the face!'' – Jackson growls angrily.

-'' Hush. It was an accident.'' – Mark tried to calm his partner.

-'' Because he was stupid!'' – Jackson yells.

-'' This is a hospital, stop yelling.'' – Jaebum hiss in the blond's direction. – '' And you won't do shit to that guy. It was an unfortunate mistake. If you want to blame someone then blame me. I was the one in charge.''

-'' I thought you guys got all of the robbers.'' – Taemin interjects. – '' We were all so focused on that crew that we didn't look amongst the hostages.''

-'' Did some of them hide among them?'' - Onew asks.

-'' No.'' – It was Moongbyul who answers, her tablet in her hands. All heads turn towards her. – '' I've checked the shooter and he was one of the hostages.''

-'' Why did he shoot then?'' – Yoongi asks in his calm drawling voice.

-'' According to our database he was clean. He had no record, the only connection I could find this quickly, however, was a blood tie with one member of the gang.'' – Moonbyul says, typing something in the tablet that she always carries with her.

-'' Is he a relative?'' – Jaebum asks.

-'' Yeah, a son.'' – She answers.

-'' Stupid boy.'' – Yoongi grumbles. –'' How old was he?''

-'' Nineteen.'' – Monbyul checks. – '' His father has been shot when the police and the members of the gang got into a conflict. Jinyoung was the one who shot him in the self-defence.''

Jinyoung's eyes go wide and he turns his head to stare at Moonbyul.

-'' Fuck. '' – Jungkook curses. – '' So it has nothing to do with this robbery?'' – He asks.

-'' Seems like it.'' – Moonbyul answers. – '' It seems that he recognized his father's killer and just reacted.'' – She says.

- '' That was his son?'' – Jinyoung asks in a shaky voice. – '' The one who shot Hwasa was his son? Fucking hell...''- His face scrunches in guilt and pain. – '' It's all my fault.''

-'' No!'' – There was a chorus of protestation from everyone.

Just then the nurse came into the room and asked them to be quiet, complaining about too many people in there. Taemin and Onew take their leave immediately, while Jungkook heard Yoongi telling Jaebum to take Jinyoung home. Jinyoung, of course, protested, wanting to stay in the hospital the whole night, but Moonbyul told him she will stay and call if there are any news.

-'' I'll stay too.'' - Jackson says, but Yoongi shook his head.

-'' No, go home. They will need your help tomorrow.'' – She nods towards the departing figures of Jaebum, Jinyoung and Mark.

-'' Come, Hyung. I'll drive you.'' – Gyeom said, wrapping an arm around Jackson's shoulders.

Jungkook watches them leave.

-'' Alright, you are going home, right now. I'll drive you.'' – Yoongi says, then turns towards Moonbyul. – '' Noona, I'll send someone to check on her first thing in the morning. If you insist on staying, then at least drink some water and try to nap.'' – He says, placing a hand on Jungkook's shoulder, and pushing him towards the exit, when he remembers something else. He turns and adds. – ''And don't come to work tomorrow, I do not need of you. Soobin will make sure everything is working in order. Get some rest, ok?''

She just nods and waves them away.

They were a few steps from walking through the door when Moonbyul called a bit panicky.

-'' Um...Yoongi! Kook!''

They turn to look at her and saw that her eyes are wide. – '' This just came in, it's all over the news.''

The two men rushed back to her and she shows them the picture of Kim Seokjin and Kim Namjoon.

-'' Their plane crashed.'' – She says in a quiet voice.

Jungkook felt like something sharp cut across his abdomen at that moment. No. No way, no, no, no.

-'' The reporters say that the station lost the communication with their private jet, which was flown by Kim Namjoon when they were crossing the northwest Pacific. Some other planes reported smoke and the remains of the plane.'' – She says.

-'' Is there a chance that they could survive?'' – Jungkook asks.

-'' From that height... not likely.'' – Yoongi says.

Jungkook huffs a breath, pacing both of his hands on his hips, head bowed. He needs to call Taehyung. He needs to know if he is alright. If he is safe.

He reaches for his phone and dials Tae's number, but no one had answered him. He called several more times, but nothing. He was feeling panic gripping him.

-'' Who are you calling?'' – Yoongi asks, approaching him.

-'' Hyung, I... I need to go.''

-'' Jungkook.''

-'' I'll be alright. I just need to check something.''

-'' You mean, someone.'' – Yoongi asks knowingly.

Jungkook just looks at him imploringly not to ask anything.

Yoongi sighs wave him off and say. – '' Go.''

And Jungkook is out in a second.

I need to reach Taehyung. Gotta find him. Gotta know he is safe. He thinks as he ran toward his bike.

He couldn't. There was no one in the apartment, and he didn't know where else to look. He called Tae's cell so many times, but there was no answer. It was the middle of the night, and Jungkook was losing his mind.

He calls Moonbyul.

-'' Noona, please, please, find me the address of Kim Seokjin, please, it's important.''

-'' Jungkook, you are insane, go home.''

Jungkook felt his voice cracking a bit. – '' Please, Noona, it's important. It's his brother, Taehyung. He's all alone now. I need to be there, please.''

She sighs tiredly. – '' Alright, I'll send you the address. Try not to do anything stupid.''

-'' Thank you, Noona.'' – Jungkook breathes, cutting the line.

He waited for only a few minutes for his phone to ping and the message to come with Kim's Manor location. He rushed there, not really caring for anything. He needed to see Taehyung.

The place was packed with news reporters that got there already, trying to reach the youngest Kim. Jungkook tried to approach, but the security at the gate informed him that Master Kim is not allowing anyone in, and even when he insisted, they were firm.

Jungkook was getting angry, thinking that they hold Taehyung there against his will. He begins thinking of a way to sneak in, to see for himself that he is safe, that he's not being bullied by Dong-Ho men. He might need him, but then he got the message from Taehyung.

''Go home Jungkook, I need to be alone.''

'' Tae, just tell me that you are safe?''

''I am. Go home.''

It had hurt more than he expected. He looks towards the Mansion and noticed a light on the top floor. Taehyung was there, staring at him blankly. He held his gaze for the moment and then just turn around and disappear inside, without even a wave.

A huge disappointment came flushing to all of his senses, and he felt tears welling in his eyes. He turns abruptly and drives away, fighting within himself violently.

You fool, you don't matter to him that much. You are not Jimin. No, Taehyung is just hurt, the news of his brothers was probably devastating. Give him space. Yes, but then why he didn't want you there to hold him? Maybe he deals with the pain alone. I bet he would let Jimin in. No, no...he had his reasons, surely.... Isn't it?

It went on and on the whole night. He didn't sleep at all, feeling too electrified, too awake, too sad and disappointed as well. He worried about Noona as well, waiting for the morning to come so he could check up on her. He spends the night exercising like a madman while he waits.

In the morning, he went straight to the hospital to check on Hwasa, seeing Jinyoung already there.

-'' How is she?'' – He asks.

-'' Still the same, but Taehyun says she is stable for now.'' – Jinyoung answers tiredly. He didn't sleep either, it seems. Not well, anyway.

Jungkook stays a bit more to keep him company before he has to go to work. He felt awful, so he goes straight to Yoongi.

As soon as he claps his eyes on him Yoongi just sighs, shaking his head, noticing the dark circles under Jungkook's eyes and his messy hair. He opened the door wider, moving away so the latter could pass, and then promptly locked them behind.

-'' I'm a fool, Hyung, aren't I?'' – Jungkook murmurs. He was sitting on one of Yoongi's chairs, curled inwards as if to hold himself together.

Yoongi sighs heavily again, sitting next to him, and placing a hand on his locks. -'' No, Jungkookie. No, you're not.''

___

The news about Kims was all over the network for the last several days, completely overshadowing the big bank robbery that happened around the same time. The police still had no idea who they had arrested, but Taehyung knew it was the members of the ''Shadows'', which made the extra reason why Dong-Ho was losing his shit right now.

When the officials came to Tahyungs door the next morning to tell him the news, Taehyung already knew. The search teams told him that they are still looking for his brothers and that the diver teams are working non-stop. That was seven days ago.

Since then, Taehyung had to appear to the public and give a statement to the press, eyes red and broken. Solar Noona was next to him all along. She wasn't in any better shape, the blackness of her attire was swallowing her delicate features. She stood behind him as he read the statement she prepared for him, waiting to take him home as soon as he finishes. He said something about the hope that they would be found and some shit like that, Taehyung really didn't remember. He escapes right after, while merciless reporters swarmed him with questions he didn't answer.

He was all alone. His brothers were considered dead to the world, Jimin was gone and he couldn't even call Jungkook. He still remembers the disappointment and hurt on Jungkook's face that night, when he send him home, saying that he wanted to be alone. His heart leapt when he saw him, wanted nothing more but to hug him, but he couldn't. He knew that Dong-Ho's men are around, as they always were every time Jin would go somewhere. Dong-Ho called it ''protection'' but they all knew it was surveillance. He wouldn't risk it.

He knew that he probably ruined any chances with Jungkook now, hoping that he would understand now that he knows everything. But since the man didn't try to contact him again, Taehyung figures he's hurt and angry. Maybe it was for the best. At least he would be safe, or so Taehyung hoped. He had sent Jimin away already, so they are both out of Dong-Ho's reach. He understood now what Jin Hyung meant by being prepared for the upcoming fights in the future. Taehyung was sure that Dong-Ho will try to force him to relinquish Kim's assets to him as soon as the dust settles.

There was no doubt that Dong-Ho took the blow of Jin's disappearance hard. Everyone believed that the two eldest Kims are dead since the search didn't find anything. His usually neat hair was now ruffled and he had dark circles under his eyes. Taehyung had never seen him like this before.

Dong-Ho was pissed. He was pissed beyond measure, which is why it was dangerous to be in his vicinity.

Still, Taehyung was there, disguised as a much older man, still agile and ready, even though he was considered to be in his mid-50s. It took him time to work his way inside, glad that he was smart enough to use this mask a long time ago, from time to time, besides V's, simply so that men could get used to him being around, existing.

When they invited him to join, he didn't accept right away, saying that he is happy to do side jobs from time to time, but once V was out of the picture, and they asked him again, he accepted. He went by the name of Jack.

Right now, Jack stood a bit away, among Dong-Ho's men, trying not to draw attention to himself. Considering everything that happened, Tae needed insight into Dong-Ho affairs. He needed to finish what his brothers started. He owned them that much, both of them.

The bomb that was planted on that plane was for him, Taehyung knew it. He was supposed to travel to Japan but at the last minute, Jin decided that he will go with Namjoon. Taehyung knew that something was off. His guts told him not to let them go instead of him, but Jin insisted. He wishes he wasn't.

-'' Bring him to me!'' – Dong-Ho's voice jerked Taehyung from his dark thoughts, and he watches the men dragging Jihoon.

He was in the bad shape, severely beaten, probably by the Dong-Ho's men, considering how they were dragging him without a care.

-'' You, in my office, now!'' – Dong-Ho snarls at him.

Jihoon follows, limping. One of his legs was hurt badly.

Now, this is interesting. Taehyung thought with curiosity.

He looks around carefully, no one was paying attention to him. They all stared at Jihoon's limping form, wondering what was that all about, so Taehyung uses that moment to sneak out of the room.

The perks of basically growing up in this place mean that he knew the headquarters like the back of his hand. He went to the attic, right above where Dong-Ho's office was. He doubted that anyone knew about this place since it didn't have any door, but a small opening in the ceiling, on which there were no ladders or an easy way to get up. That didn't cause trouble for Taehyung, though. He had discovered it a long time ago when he hid from Rocco. He tested it for years, but no one ever went there, the dusty floor never revealing any other footsteps beside his, and Taehyung always followed the same steps, like a cat.

In there he installed a small camera a long time ago. He drilled a hole in the floor of Dong-Ho's office when Dong-Ho and his men were out. He cleaned everything afterwards, like he wasn't there, locking the room back. Dong-Ho didn't have cameras of his own, being too paranoid that someone will get footage of him. The only security was the alarm, which Namjoon easily bypassed. The camera was next to the chandelier, and no one ever looked up into the light. It looked straight to Dong-Ho's desk.

He asked Namjoon a long time ago, why he was not using that camera to track Dong-Ho, but his brother explained to him that it was outdated and only suitable for watching from the place it was installed in the first place.

-'' For anything else, Tae-ah, you would need a newer model and a huge amount of luck to have the place empty like you did back then.'' – Namjoon had said.

Back to the present time, Taehyung climbs up carefully, placing the lid back and putting the heavy brick on, so if anyone would try, it will give Taehyung time to hide. No one ever did, but Taehyung was still careful.

He walks silently over, taking care not to step on the squeaky wood panels. He places the earphones and turns on the screen.

-'' I told you to take care of the youngest! Not Seokjin!'' – Dong-Ho roared, gripping at Jihoon's throat.

Taehyung felt his insides freeze at this. So, I was Dong-Ho's target after all. He thinks.

-'' M' s-sorry.'' – Jihoon barely managed to speak.

-'' Do you know what damage you made now!?'' – Dong-Ho asks, furious. – '' I don't fucking care about the beast, but Seokjin! He was irreplaceable!''

-'' T-Tae...Taehyung s-supposed to be on that p-plane.'' – Jihoon grunts.

I knew it was meant for me, you bastard. Taehyung thinks bitterly, feeling the bile climbing to his throat. He forces it down. His stomach was churning with heat and desire for revenge, but he remembered Jin's words to try and stay calm. There was a game to be played.

-'' But he wasn't! Seokjin was!'' – Dong-Ho squeezes Jihoon even more and then releases his grip.

Jihoon falls on the floor and coughs severely. -'' I'm sorry.'' – He croaks.

Dong-Ho was pacing the office, huffing in anger, while raking his hair with his fingers.

-'' First, my crew was captured, now Seokjin is dead, and that little shit of his brother is still alive! And where is that bitch of a lawyer!? You promised that you will find him.'' – He was on Jihoon again.

-'' I've looked everywhere, I swear.'' – Jihoon says pleadingly. –'' He disappeared, completely.''

Taehyung was so grateful for Hoseok now. He owes that man a debt of gratitude for life.

-'' I don't fucking care, find him!'' – Dong-Ho slaps him across the face.

-'' Yes, sir.'' – Jihoon shakes.

He looks so pathetic right now. Taehyung thinks, watching him with disgust. He didn't feel sorry for him, not even one bit.

Just then the phone rights and Dong-Ho went to his table to pick it up.

-'' Yes?'' – He says, his body still rigid, and ready to kill.

-'' What do you mean there are no assets on the accounts? Check again!'' – He growls.

Whatever the person on the other side of the line was telling him he didn't like. Oh, he didn't like it at all.

-'' There has to be! I've checked the balance a few days ago, and everything was fine.''

He huffs a breath, bowing his head down, trying not to explode.

-'' Maybe there was some mistake with the system, please check my other accounts as well. The Organization...''

He was cut in mid-sentence, and Taehyung saw his body going frozen. He stood like that and then moved the hand with the phone away. He stares at it for a few moments and then he erupts, yanking the phone from the desk and tossing it at the wall with all his might.

He brushes his face with his hand and then leans on his desk, panting, head bowed.

Taehyung didn't know what it all meant, but seeing him in this distress and anger gave a pleasant satisfaction in Taehyung's chest.

Dong-Ho walks around to sit in his chair, pulling at his cravat and unbuttoning the first button to give himself some air. He stared somewhere far, not noticing Jihoon still standing there, or so it seemed.

He shakes his head, huffing a sarcastic laugh. – '' Everything I have built and created falls like the house of cards, one by one.'' – He says, leaning his forehead in his hand.

Taehyung knew what gave Dong-Ho nightmares. Hak-Kun and Kwan gave enough oil to fume the fire that was already big, and a lot of Dong-Ho's associates stepped away from the business they had with him. Not to mention the buyers who demand money for the fake shit they bought from him. His partners in the drug and porn industries were caught or dead, and Lee's gang turned against him. Their new leader didn't want anything to do with Dong-Ho. And it seemed that even the ''Organization'' didn't want to help him anymore. It was harder and harder to hide and they must have found out. Hoseok was right.

-'' But at least the cop is dead, or he will be any minute now.'' – Jihoon speaks suddenly.

Taehyung felt the knife in his belly at that, twisting hard and he stared wide-eyed at the screen.

Dong-Ho looks at the assassin. – '' What are you talking about?''

-'' The detective responsible for most of the damage. The one who helped Park Jimin escape and killed Eun-Woo. His name is Jeon Jungkook.'' – Jihoon spoke. – '' He's been seen with Taehyung.''

-'' I know who he is!'' – Dong-Ho growls. – '' I hope that you were successful this time after so many mistakes you've made.'' – He adds dangerously. He really disliked incompetent people. Jihoon was promising at first, but the pressure and the tasks that were asked seemed too much for him.

Jihoon shudders. – '' Yes sir. There is a surprise waiting for him when he gets home.''

Taehyung listen to this with dread, an icy sweat covered his entire body in instant.

-'' You mean he's not already dead?'' – Dong-Ho asks with an arched eyebrow.

-'' He will be when he gets home.'' – Jihoon answers quickly. – ''This time, I won't miss the target.'' – He adds.

Dong-Ho looks at him for a long minute, shaking his head. – '' You are an idiot.'' – He says coldly. – '' And I hate idiots.'' – He says pulls the gun from his holster and shoots Jihoon in the head.

Taehyung opens his mouth in a silent scream. He stood up, yanking the earphones, and turning off the screen, quickly yet silently walking towards the door.

He had to reach Jungkook. He had to warn him. He is in danger. Fuck, not him as well, shit!

He almost ran from the place.

___

Jungkook felt tired and a bit lost by everything that was going on lately. The thought of Tae and Jimin was always in his mind, wondering what they are doing and are they safe.

There still wasn't any news of Kims, and even Jungkook started thinking now that they died in that plane crash. No news of Jimin besides that he is safe and well. Hoseok had told him that much at least.

Taehyung still didn't call him and Jungkook missed him like crazy. He was so worried about him, all alone in the world of monsters like Dong-Ho.

The only good news was that Hwasa has woken up and was recovering. She will still stay in the hospital for a while, under Taehyun's watchful eye. Everyone was so relieved when they heard the news. Jinyoung cried with relief, and then Jackson shed a tear when he saw him crying.

-'' Can't let the brother cry alone.'' – He says wiping his eyes, while everyone knew, Jinyoung included, that he cried from his own emotions. He and Hwasa were great friends and he missed her terribly, even though they fought more than not.

He was climbing up the stairs to his apartment, ready to just fall on his bed and sleep. He knew he wouldn't be able to stop his mind from working, but he needed the rest.

He reached his floor and grabbed his keys from his pocket, unlocking his apartment. He was about to step over the threshold when someone crashed into him, knocking them both to the ground. Jungkook was about to fight back when the loud explosion shook the entire floor, yanking the door from his hinges. They went crashing into the opposite wall.

Jungkook's quickly covered his ears as he felt arms covering his head. He blinked a few times, coughing the sudden dust he inhaled, his ears still buzzing as he became aware of who the person next to him was. Yoongi Hyung.

He opened his mouth to speak but coughed again instead. He watched Yoongi shake his head to clear his mind from the sudden blast and then turns his eyes on him to check if he was ok.

-'' I'm... ok, Hyung.'' – Jungkook coughed and looked towards his apartment only to discover flames burning out from it. His home just exploded. -" My apartment is burning!" - Kook yelled.

Yoongi only gripped his arm. – '' Kook, we need to go!''

-'' But, Hyung...my place...'' – Jungkook stood, legs shaking a bit, eyes still glued on the inferno inside his apartment. Several neighbours ran past them, screaming.

Yoongi gripped him even harder and pulled a little. – '' We need to go now!" – He growled.

-" But... they need help!" – Jungkook tried shaking off Yoongi's grip, but Yoongi held hard.

-" Now!" – Yoongi yelled, tugging harshly.

-'' There are people there that need help!' – Jungkook shouted, finally breaking free from Yoongi's grip and hurling toward his first neighbour, who was an elderly man. He heard Yoongi cursing loudly behind him. Jungkook didn't care. It was his job to help people.

-'' The police and ambulance are on their way! We need to go!'' – Yooongi shouted when he reached him again. –'' They will come back to finish the job! You need to disappear, do you understand?'' – He hisses in Jungkook's face, but the younger man just glared at him.

-'' I'm not afraid of them, Hyung! Let them come! I'll kill every last one of them!'' – Jungkook was furious.

-'' Aaaah, I want to slap you now!'' – Yoongi growls.

-'' If you help me get people to safety, I will go with you willingly!'' – Jungkook says arching an eyebrow in challenge. There was another explosion and they ducked to safety.

Yoongi was furious. – '' Fine! But if you die, I will personally resurrect you only to kill you myself, you stubborn ass!'' – He yelled and went past Jungkook to bang on the doors.

Jungkook blinked, surprised by Yoongi's urgency. It was not like him. Something must have spooked him for real before this. Jungkook decides to ask questions later and began shouting for everyone to get out.

A lot of people were already on the stairs and the hallways, panicking and crying out for their belongings. It took both Yoongi's and Jungkook's firm hands to make them move out to safety. The elderly man was walking slowly, coughing the smoke and Jungkook wanted to carry him, when Yoongi stopped him.

-'' You!'' – He yelled, grabbing a young man who came running from the upper floors. – '' Take him down, on your back, hurry up!''

The young man look at him in fear and confusion but did what Yoongi said. Yoongi's commanding ability was truly remarkable and Jungkook would be full of admiration if he wasn't so cross with him at the moment.

With the elderly man carried on to safety by the youth, and every apartment empty, Jungkook found himself dragged by Yoongi again.

-'' Quickly, we need to reach my car.'' – Yoongi says, passing down to the lower levels where the exit for the garage was.

-'' Hyung, what the fuck is going on!?'' – Jungkook snatched his hand away. – '' I need to stay and wait for the police. I need to report this, so I can find who planted a bomb in my apartment.''

-'' Like hell, you will!'' – Yoongi hissed, grabbing at Jungkook's hand again, but Jungkook scowled at him.

-'' Hyung, what the fuck is wrong with you?!'' – Jungkook growled at the smaller man. – '' Why are you acting so bloody weird? What are you doing here in the first place!?''

-'' Saving your ass, now get the fuck in! That's an order!'' – Yoongi barked, making Jungkook's jaw clench with defiance. Yoongi took a calming breath so he won't snap at the stubborn youth. – '' Jungkook, I will explain everything in a minute, but we have to move. Those who planted this are near, we need to fucking go!''

That made Jungkook start, looking left and right, searching for someone suspicious when Yoongi hit the roof of his car. –'' I will say this only once more, Jeon. Get. In. The. Fucking. Car.''

The way it was said was rough, the last ounce of self-control borderline with rage made Yoongi's voice extremely dangerous. Jungkook knew he crossed Hyung's patience and even though he didn't like it, he did as he was told and got inside the car.

Yoongi quickly stepped in into the driving seat, starting the engine. – '' Lay on the seat, I'll try to smuggle you out.'' – He said and let go of the brakes.

Once they were away from Jungkook's building, where people gathered, watching as the firefighters hurried to extinguish the fire, and the ambulance hinder the wounded ones, Jungkook sat back. He met Yoongi's eyes in the mirror before the older man turn them back on the road.

-'' Do you have your phone with you!?'' – Yoongi asks.

-'' You know I do.'' – Jungkook answers.

-'' Toss it. You've been followed.'' – Yoongi says calmly.

Jungkook huffed an annoying breath, but he knew the procedure. He took out his phone and his sim card and tossed them through the window.

-'' Good.'' – Yoongi says. – '' Hyung's gonna get you a new one.''

-'' I don't need you to.'' – Jungkook hiss.

Yoongi just chuckles.

-" Hyung. Who blew up my apartment?" – Jungkook asked in a calm voice.

Yoongi chuckled darkly. -" You know very well who did it! " - Yoongi said. He took a calming breath, looking left at the intersection before continuing. -'' They've probably been onto you ever since you rushed in Kim's manor.'' – Yoongi says, holding the wheel tightly, eyes scanning the road and side streets constantly. – '' This was pre-planed, they knew when you leave the house and when you return, they have eyes and ears everywhere.'' – He growls.

-'' How did you know when to come?'' – Jungkook wanted to know.

-'' Taehyung called me.'' – Yoongi said, and Jungkook's eyes widen at that.

-'' Taehyung? Kim Taehyung?'' – He asks quite shocked.

-'' Yes, Kim Taehyung, your crush, Taehyung. Yes.'' – Yoongi rolls his eyes, a smirk escaping his lips when he saw a scornful look on Jungkook's face. - '' He called me in panic and told me not to let you leave work because there was a danger waiting for you at home.'' – He says, turning left at the next traffic light.

-'' But of course, you were already gone, so I rushed after you.'' – He huffs a huge chunk of air from his lungs. – '' You cost me ten years of my life. I was so fucking worried about your ass.''

Jungkook felt his cheeks spreading into a smile at that. Yoongi meets his eyes in the mirror. – '' Not a word.'' – He warns.

Jungkook just smiled widely when a thought entered his mind. He grew serious. – '' How did he know?''

Yoongi shrugs his shoulders. – '' Fuck if I know.''

Jungkook leaned back in his seat after that, watching out of the window. He notices that they are on the outskirt of the city.

-'' Where are we going?'' – He asks.

-'' You'll see.'' – Yoongi says. There was something I didn't tell you. It was best for you not to know, but now...'' – He left the rest of the sentence unspoken, leaving Jungkook to ponder its meaning.

After a few more minutes, Yoongi, finally, parked the car.

-" We are here. Get out." - Hei grumbled.

Jungkook looked around. It was an abandoned factory. Grey walls were ruined and windows hollowed. Why did Yoongi bring him here? Jungkook sensed his old sense of foreboding in his guts.

-'' Why are we here?'' – He asks, but Yoongi shushed him.

-" Quiet. Follow me, and ask questions later."

Jungkook stared at him for a second, and then followed him. There was a chained metal fence in the wall. Jungkook arched an eyebrow when Yoongi produced the key from his pocket and unlocked the lock, opening the door and gesturing for Jungkook to get in.

-'' Get in so I could lock back after us.'' – Yoongi nods towards the darkness. – '' Here.'' – He reaches to his jacket pocket and produces a small flashlight.

Jungkook didin't like the cold darkness of the place, even though it was empty. He pulls out his gun, just in case.

Yoongi chuckles next to him. – '' No one will attack you here, Jungkook-ah.'' – He says, passing him with his own light.

Jungkook makes a face. – '' Yeah, well, tell me that when some monster comes after your ass from who knows where.'' – He mumbles. He heard Yoongi's quiet laughter.

-" Where are we going?" - Jungkook asked carefully. His body alerted to any sound besides their footsteps, breathing and voices.

-" Somewhere safe." - Yoongi replied, his voice calm and drawling. -" Keep up. There's a long way ahead of us."

They moved swiftly forward, Jungkook following him close, not seeing anything beyond the beam of the flashlight - it was a bit unnerving. Jungkook had no idea where Yoongi was leading him and the place was utterly unknown to him. When Jungkook asked, Yoongi just shushed him to be quiet.

-'' I need to concentrate so I won't get us lost.'' – He says.

The underground tunnels were long, confusing, dark and damp. They stank badly and Jungkook could hear rats and who knows what else mingling around, their little legs and tails escaping the snoop from Yoongi's light as they went forward.

Jungkook tried to remember the pathway, but after the 13th turning, he was properly confused so he gave up, hoping that his Hyung knew where he was going. Yoongi, for all that time, was very quiet, checking out the map on his phone.

Jungkook felt his nerves tingling unpleasantly. His mind was in a swirl, but his instinct was telling him to be on high alert. Anything could jump at them, whether it was another person or a giant rat.

They finally reached the end of the hall. Jungkook saw that they were standing by the metal door. Again, Yoongi had a key to unlock it.

-'' Why do you have keys from this place?'' – He asked, but Yoongi didn't answer him. Instead, he unlocked the door and stepped in, turning on the lights.

Jungkook blinked at the sudden light, quickly checking out the room, his gun pointing to all four sides. The place was rather empty but surprisingly clean. In the middle was a metal table and six chairs turned upside down, on the surface.

-'' No one will come after you here, Kook. Relax.'' – Yoongi says, taking one of the chairs to place it on the floor.

Jungkook didn't feel at ease hearing these words. He still observed Yoongi's delicate but determent moves.

-'' Alright, Hyung.'' – Jungkook says, putting his gun back in his holster. – '' Why don't you tell me what's going on?''

-'' It will all be clear to you in a few moments.'' – Yoongi says, seating himself on the chair and pointing to another. – '' Have a seat.''

-'' What will happen in a few moments?'' – Jungkook asked, approaching slowly.

-'' Good evening, Mr Jeon.'' – A familiar voice spoke behind him. Jungkook turns around in a flash, gun out and pointing at the person standing. He never heard them opening the door.

His eyes went wide when he recognized the faces of Kim Seokjin and Namjoon. He opens his mouth in shock and lowers his gun.

Jin smiles warmly. – '' So good to see you again.''

-'' What the hell!'' – Jungkook exclaims. -'' You should be dead.'' – He says, realizing how stupid it sounds but couldn't help it.

-'' Indeed, we should, but thanks to Yoongichi here, we are quite alive.'' – Jin says, bowing slightly towards Yoongi. – '' I will be forever grateful, Yoongi.''

Yoongi chuckles and nods his head in return.

-'' I am so fucking confused.'' – Jungkook said quietly.

-'' I'm sure you are.'' – Namjoon approaches the table, pulling at the chair, and Jungkook realizes that this is the first time he sees the middle Kim in person. The guy was huge and so fucking hot. Those thighs, damn. It flashes through Jungkook's mind, but he makes them go away.

Namjoon smiled warmly, his dimples stood adorably on his cheeks. He offers a chair for Jungkook to sit in. – '' Please, we are on a tight schedule. What we have to say to you is important. We need your help.'' – He says.

-'' I'll help whatever I can.'' – He takes the offered spot with a small thank you, and wait until Kims seated themselves across and next to him. – '' Does Taehyung know you are alive and safe?''- He asks.

-'' Of course, he does.'' – Jin answers. – '' He knew all along. He just had to pretend that he doesn't, because of Dong-Ho.''

Jungkook felt huge relief at that.

-'' And just so you know...'' – Namjoon draws his attention. – '' He didn't send you away because he wanted, but because the house was monitored.'' – He says. – '' You've been followed ever since and Yoongi barely got there in time to rescue you.''

Namjoon gave the man the look full of respect and awe, making Yoongi blush a bit.

-'' When did you connect with Yoongi Hyung?'' – Jungkook asks Jin.

-'' It was Namjoon who first approached him, as his hacker persona. He helped the Force get the evidence he needed and Yoongi here was ready for helping us in return.''

-'' Mind, I had no idea who they were. I was shocked when I found out.'' – Yoongi says, a smile appearing on his face as he glances at the Kims. – '' Everything is set for us to get rid of the crooked cops and superiors thanks to them.''

-'' Good.'' – Jungkook murmurs, satisfied.

Yoongi nods. – ''Their help was invaluable, so I had to return the favour.'' – He says, pointing to Kims with his open palm.

-'' Yes, we needed the chance to escape without being noticed, which proved rather difficult.'' – Jin says. - '' Dong-Ho was following my every move, and I couldn't send Taehyung this time. It had to be me. So, Yoongi organized the diversion.''

Jungkook stared at his Hyung. – '' You organized the plane crash?''

Yoongi furrowed his brows. – '' Of course not! The bomb was already on the plane. We found it while conducting a search. It was on a timer.'' – He said matter-of-factly. –'' I've sent Choi Minho to take it to the air. He was a pilot in the army, before turning into an agent.''

-'' He jumped out on a parachute, right?'' – Jungkook asks, remembering seeing Minho in the halls only two days ago. – '' The plane was on autopilot.''

Namjoon grins at that, chin protruding as he nodded, delighted that Jungkook caught that so quickly.

Jungkook shook his head, glaring at Yoongi. – '' Why didn't you tell me?''

-'' We asked him not to.'' – Jin says. – '' It was important.''

Jungkook huffs a grunt and looks at two Kims. – '' And where did you go?''

Jin nods toward Yoongi. -'' He helped us get away unnoticed, and then we were smuggled in Europe with Jimin.''

Jungkook's wide doe eyes were even bigger than normal. – '' That's just... wow.'' – He says, making all three men chuckle.

-'' Yeah, I agree.'' – Jin says. – '' We managed to get an audience with the ''Organization'' leaders.'' – He says.

-'' Let's just say that they were hugely surprised and quite disgusted with what we had shown them.'' – Namjoon adds. – '' So much evidence.'' – He smirks in huge satisfaction.

-'' They plan to send the representative soon to check the claims, but for now, they cut their support.'' – Jin finishes.

-'' And what about you two? Are you gonna tell the world you are here, later on?'' – Jungkook asks.

-'' Later on, yes, but first, we need the score to set.'' – Jin says darkly and peculiar energy envelops them at that moment. All four men felt it and they were ready to fight.

Finally, as if not managing to keep it a secret, Yoongi grins widely, his gums showing. – '' You know the bank robbers that were caught recently?'' – He asks.

Jungkook nods.

-'' They are the ''Shadows''.''

-'' What?!'' – Jungkook exclaims, almost feeling disappointed. – '' But... they were caught so simply.'' – He says dismayed. He looks at Jin. – '' I expected more of them.''

Jin laughs wholeheartedly. – '' Well, if they had me planning their heists, they would never be caught.'' – He says without a bit of modestly. – '' But, since they thought they could do a better job, well... you reap what you sow.''

Jungkook was utterly disheartened. Deep down he was in awe of the group. They were legends. But then he realizes that Jin is the mastermind behind the group and he leans forwards in his chair, looking at the man. – '' You'll have to tell me all about them later on.'' – He says seriously. – '' I'm your biggest fan.''

The sound of Jin's joyful voice echoed loudly in the empty room at Jungkook's honest words.

_____________________________

I had to add Namjoon's thighs. I and Jungkook share a deep admiration for them, so they had to be included, especially because it was the first time the two meet in flesh.

As for the action, what a roller coaster. I love this chapter. I'm surprising myself sometimes, usually forgetting some parts of what I wrote before, so when I go through chapters before posting, I remember things, lol.

Don't worry, darling Hwasa will be alright, with a bad-ass scar on her neck, which she would carry with pride. You also saw that the Kims are alive and well (whoever doubted me...well...). Anyway, Namjoon couldn't resist staying away from Yoongi, so while they worked together to obtain the evidence that will help Yoongi clean up the police from the bad seeds, they talk... until Namjoon showed himself to Yoongi. The rest is history. 

I hope you enjoyed it. See you on Monday, darlings. Take care 💜💜💜
