Chapter 37
~Y/N POV~
Here I stand in the middle of this empty alleyway. I knew this was a weird location but there's nothing here in sight that tells me there's a secret way to get in. How the hell am I suppose to meet Yoongi at this address he gave me if I cant find a way in?
Groaning out my frustration I twirl on my heel and give up on the spot. I don't give up a lot but when it comes to these guys I wont be waiting around for whatever it is I'm suppose to see. I don't have time for this. I could be working on plans, dealing with the lack of booze problems to one of my clubs or even spending time with my children. Instead here I am in this dark alley when there is clearly nothing here for me.
My heels tap against the concrete beneath my feet but I heard a clung as I stepped on a circular opening in the ground. I stared for a moment at the iron circle in the floor, an thought coming to mind.
That leads to the sewers.
The underground.
My nose crunches at the thought of even going down there. Surely they wouldnt be down there, right?
I wouldnt of thought so but with these guys, anything is possible.
So I pick up the iron lid and toss it to the side or more like dragged it across the concrete and shined my torch down there from my phone. Thankfully the bottom wasn't surrounded by dirty water, only more concrete at the bottom. I guess that's much better than walking in gross sewer water.
Squatting down did I then jump down the small hole, landing on both feet. Shining my torch around the tunnel beneath this city, I took out my gun and held it in front of me, ready to shot anything that shows threat. All sorts of people could be living down here for all I know or this could be a trap too. I have to keep my guard up and that is what I do.
It's cold even though there is no breeze and it seems the tunnel is a straight wide tunnel. No corners to be taken from where I am. There may be more further down but I don't see any right now.
I sighed to myself in deciding which way I take first. My left or right. Each way is a straight direction so I have to choose.
So I choose right.
Taking small steps I quietly walk through the dark tunnels. My gun pointed forward, my torch scanning the walls and flooring just in case something were to pop out at me. Again, you never know.
A sudden loud screeching of meta echoes through the tunnels ahead of me. I paused, my finger already on the trigger just waiting to shoot the source. My torch shone forward and just to the left side, roughly ten feet away a head popped out from the brick wall.
I recognise that face. Yoongi.
He squints his eyes at me due to the light shining in his face and raised his hand above his forehead.
"Damn, you'll blind me woman." Yoongi
I grunted at him but lowered my torch to the ground and safely tucked my gun away in my hidden holster under my jacket.
"Maybe that was my intention."
Yoongi smirked at me, a slight chuckle from him when he stood out from the opening which I didn't see until now.
"Well this way." Yoongi
Thankfully he stepped back and allowed me to just walk through the iron doors and into the spacious bunker. I only took two steps in before stopped to look around the place. Warm colours of brown and the wood affect made this place look homely. The kitchen and living room in one place, a corridor directly in front of me. It looked like a small apartment. Its a totally new environment from what's beyond those doors Yoongi was closing and locking up.
When I heard that click was when I took out my gun again and pointed it to his temple, narrowing my eyes at him.
"Why did you lock it?"
Yoongi simply smiled at me, unfazed by the gun to his head but held up his own hands, showing now harm.
"Relax, it's to keep people from out there coming in. Not to keep you in. If you want to leave now, you can." Yoongi
Applying more pressure to his temple, Yoongi kept up his calm smile and his hands still raised. I kept eye contact with him, staring right into his empty soul before I hummed at him and retreated my gun and back under my jacket.
"Fine."
He nods and walks by me, gesturing with a finger to follow him which I do without question. But I kept my guard up. Mentally prepared for the worse to come. A part of me tells me they wont do anything stupid but another says don't ever think they wont hurt you, they did it before and they could do it again just as easily.
Yoongi guides me down the narrow corridor, dimly lighted but there was grey carpet on the floor and wooden panelling on the walls.
Turning a corner Yoongi came to a stop and opened a single wooden door and gestured for me to walk in first. But I didn't. I just glared at him and gestured for him to go first. If the others are in there I'm not risking getting ambushed straight away.
He just stares at me blankly before nodding and walking into the room first as he stuffs his fists into the pockets of his black jeans. That was when I followed him in but kept a hand under my jacket in case I would have to quickly defend myself.
Once in the room Yoongi stepped to the side and closed the door behind me once I was inside.
My eyes did a quick sweep of the place.
An square shaped office with more wooden panelling on the walls but not other exit than the one I just came through and Yoongi was now blocking that door.
I kept my hand on my gun and placed my hand over my thigh where I kept a secret dagger in a leg holster. That's why I chose to wear a skirt so it was easy access.
The room was quiet and no one dared spoke at first.
The remaining six men I detest so much are before me, Scattered around the room. Some of them brave enough to look at me, some not so much.
I noticed Jungkook and Taehyung sitting together on a black leather couch. Just big enough for the both of them to sit on. Taehyung was blankly staring at me, clenching his fist on his lap while Jungkook averted his eyes to the floor but clenching his jaw.
Jin and Hoseok were both standing next to what appears to be a small mini bar in the far left corner. Both their bodies angled towards me. Dark eyes staring back at me avoid of any emotion. Hoseok only made movements to take a sip of his drink that he holds.
That left the last two, centred in the middle. Namjoon sitting on the large leather chair behind the desk. While Jimin stands beside him, avoiding all eye contact with me and glares at the desk as if it had offended him so.
Namjoon was the bravest out the two to look me in the eyes. I glared back at the man, hoping he would back down from this staring contest but instead he holds it and even clears his throat before he starts to speak.
"It's good to see you again Y/n." Namjoon
The corner of his lips curved but I remained neutral. I willed myself before coming here to not show any emotions what so ever. Meaning that even though all of them in one room alone with me is a little intimidating and a little scary, I wont show it. I wont be weak in front of them again. Never.
"I wish I could say the same."
Behind me I heard Yoongi's chuckle but I ignored it. Namjoon raised a brow and I noticed the others in my side vison that they moved ever so slightly. Not towards me but more at the awkwardness of my presence.
"I only came here because Yoongi said something that gained my attention."
Namjoons shoulders rolled back and he leans more against the chair. That's when I seen Jimin's hand gripping onto the leather behind him in some sort of death grip and yet the man still cant look at me.
"And what is that?" Namjoon
"That we share the same interest which is your uncle dead."
His tongue clicks against his cheek and he nods.
"Yes. Our uncles power has become greater the last two years, meaning more allies. Not many people will stand against him now. Our greatest bet for alli." Namjoon
My laugh just burst out of me. I couldn't control it but it just came out. The thought that they need my help now after all the trouble they caused me was just music to my ears.
My laughter even caused both Jungkook and Jimin to look up from their glaring trances.
"And you think I would help YOU of all people? I mean sure we want the same things but what do I benefit from it? Apart from Yeonsan's death?"
My eyes squinted at the leader in the centre. His eyes darkened towards me but I held my head high.
"You want something in return?" Namjoon
"Yes."
"We already gave you, your freedom Y/n and we left you alone for two years." Namjoon
Scoffing I took a further three steps towards him but stopped myself. I ignored the way Jimin tensed beside Namjoon and the way Jungkook stood up from the couch but only to be dragged back down by Taehyung. The others didn't move. Not even Namjoon.
"It was meant to be forever. We were never to see each other again. And my freedom you speak of? Never should of been taken from me in the first place. So you can sit there on your mighty throne and act like a god but I know what a piece of shit you really are. And just like the scum you are, you come crawling to me asking for an alliance and think I wont ask for anything in return? Well you're wrong so if you want this, you're going to have to offer me something."
After my ranting my heart was beating so fast in my chest I thought for a moment everyone else could hear it. I'm even more prepare for some kind of shoot out to happen here, for one of them to draw out their weapons and something to happen.
But no.
Nothing like that happens.
Instead Jin makes a move and I eye him suspiciously. Mid step Jin pauses to raise his hands before I nod at him to continue on his way to Namjoon just to whisper in his ear. Namjoon leans in and listens before he nods and looks back up at me.
"What is it you want in return?" Namjoon
Seeing the way his clenches his jaw and squeezes his fists, it brings some kind of satisfaction to me. I got under his skin clearly and I like it.
My body relaxes but I keep my hand on my gun at all times. Just because I relax slightly doesn't mean I trust anyone in this room.
A smile stretches on my lips and Namjoon in return furrows his brows. I can already tell he's going to regret even asking me this but I don't care.
"First, this bunker. Is this the only one you have?"
"No. We have one in every city in the country." Namjoon
Inside I cheer in my head.
"Well to gain trust I want a list of every bunkers location and full access to use them in anyway I see fit."
Namjoon's eyes grew and he shot a surprised glance towards Jin but Jin shook his head, closing his eyes. But Namjoon scoffs, rolling his eyes at me.
"Fine. Yoongi go get her a list of all our bunkers." Namjoon
His hand waves and behind me I heard Yoongi leave the room.
"Anything else?" Namjoon
"Oh yes. Yes there is."
My voice deepened as I chuckled while I spoke. This was exciting. I'm thrilled that I have some kind of control over every man in this room.
"I also want a list of every ally you have so far. The few that would stand with you. I don't care if it's one group or whatever, I just want that list and in the future to be notified of any more alliances you may make."
The stress builds up in Namjoon so clearly that he rubs his temples, squeezing his eyes shut. Jimin has stepped away from Namjoon, surprised that he's even agreeing to all this while both Taehyung and Jungkook are now standing but not daring to move. Jin seemed calm about it and continued to stare at me blankly while I gave out my demands.
However Hoseok's grin practically matched my own. As he stands in the corner sipping on his drink and willing himself not to laugh.
"Is that all?" Namjoon
"Nope. I have one more."
Namjoons eyes shot back open and met my eyes once more. But this time I was no longer smiling.
"When this is all done and Yeonsan is finally gone. Our arrangement to work together will be over. We can keep an alliance for business purposes and possible future problems but nothing more. And more importantly, none of you will go near my children. Got it?"
A heavy sigh comes from Namjoon but yet everyone else in the room comes to a stand stil. But all eyes were on Namjoon waiting for him to give the final order.
It took longer than what I thought for Namjoon to finally speak, say anything regarding his decision.
We stared at each other for what felt like an eternity.
"Fine. You have yourself a deal Miss Cho. We will bend to your every will in any way you like." Namjoon
My face was blank but inside I was cheering with joy. I got what I wanted and I may take advantage if there's a possible alliance between us.
"But....." Namjoon
His voice speaks out after his pause and my breath hitches slightly. I didn't like the way his lips started to curve into a smirk. It caused dread within me.
"I think we need to talk about the fact you had two babies, not just one." Namjoon
This time I made my gasp known and looked over to Jin. He ducked his head down and stepped back avoiding my gaze. He told him?!
I should of known. But then it would have to be obvious since Yoongi mentioned they've watched me and my success.
No way did I want this conversation but it doesn't seem like I'll get out of here so easily if I don't.
"Fine. Let's talk."
