"dad, what's happening?" i asked when i felt like something was wrong.

"y/n, let's talk about this in the parking lot." my dad said and grabbed me by my arms.

he dragged me at the back where the parking lot was located. i winced in pain as i felt his hold was tightening around my skin. he let go of me harshly, almost making me stumble on the ground.

"you need to listen to me y/n," he stood up straight and cleared his throat, "just do whatever mister gong wants you to do—"

"what do you mean? why did he said i would be living with him?" i said almost breaking down at this point.

confusion filled my brain and i felt sick.

he looked away and straighten his clothes, "because you will, starting tonight."

"what? dad—"

"just do what i say! don't be a brat and act as if you've been so useful to me! do this—"

"did you just sell me?" i cut him off, lowering my head.

"whatever you think it is—"

"did you even consider me as your daughter at all? hiding me from everyone, forbidding me from making friends by giving me weird body guards always around me, being over protective and all. but now, you're selling me? is that what dads do?" i clenched my fists to prevent myself from crying.

however, the water inside my eyes betrayed me as they flowed down my cheeks.

standing in front of me was my father. my dad who i thought would be by my side forever, who would guide and protect me whenever, like the other fathers out there.

is selling their own daughter are what normal fathers do?

"i did everything for you, i protected you from my rivals but what did you fucking do?! fucking with my own rival—"

"at least he made me feel freedom, love and protection! dad! you don't know how much i try so hard to be the good daughter b-but it's so hard! it's so hard to be your daughter!" i screamed while the tears streamed down my cheeks.

"then don't be my daughter! i don't need you as one!" he screamed back making me stop.

i stared at him with my teary eyes.

my own father neglecting me.

well, that hurts.

suddenly, he turned his back at me. i stared at his blurry back vision because of my tears.

i was about to reach him when someone grabbed my waist and covered my mouth. i looked back and saw mister gong smiling down at me.

he pulled me towards his car and i tried my best to fight back.

but my strength was drained by emotions.

i kicked and punched but no use when he already pushed me inside the car, chaining my arms and ankles quickly. he also covered my mouth with some cloth and closed the door after tossing me on the seat.

i cried helplessly.

i felt hopeless.

i wanted to cry for help but i couldn't. i wanted to call anyone to save me but i couldn't.

this time, i knew everything was over for me.

my dad just neglected me and everyone around me were just hurting me.

tears flowing down endlessly, i curled down on the seat. i just wanted to sleep and see if i wake up, it would be all just a dream, that all of this was just a dream.

a nightmare.

i bit my lip and felt it was bleeding.

and that's when i realized,

nope, not a dream.

taehyung's pov

"to the left, our target is drinking with a another business man. we need him to be alone to do the attack." yoongi hyung said on the other line.

i touched my earpiece and groaned.

i kept on walking and walking until i was near the target's table. i pretended i was drinking the wine while secretly observing him.

god, i would i could just poison him. did he think i wouldn't know his plan that he would kill me?

"where's jungkook? he's supposed to break his car." i whispered.

"he's on his way on the parking lot with namjoon, don't worry."

"good. how about jimin's job?" i asked.

"he's doing okay tricking the target's body guards." he answered.

"is hoseok with you?" i said while simply sipping on my wine and scanning my eyes around.

"he's doing good on monitoring y/n."

i nodded in satisfaction. he better do his job or he'll never shine anymore.

i was about to turn off my earpiece because the background sounds as yoongi hyung was also talking to the other members and it was distracting me to focus on the target.

this would be a piece of cake, though.

one swift move and this target is dead.

"one more thing, jin hyung told y'all not to get hurt." he announced to all of us.

i rolled my eyes and observed my surroundings. i scanned the whole hall room but it was impossible because it was so big and so many business men filled it.

however, i still wanted to see y/n.

but i need to focus on our target or i'll lose this chance. i sip slowly on my wine but suddenly, my ear piece turned on again.

"jungkook and namjoon is breaking the car now."

i nodded.

i was observing my surroundings when someone clung onto my arms and i already know who it was.

i yanked my arms off even though some people looked at us weirdly.

i knew what was on their hands though, 'why is he treating his wife like that?'

"what are you doing here?" i asked, irritated.

she pouted her lips and i just wanted to dug her face on the ground using my foot. there were so many thing i wanted to do with her but i hope i'm not that brutal.

if only this party wasn't by partner, then i would just go with myself instead of this worm.

"i can't find dad." she said.

"okay." i replied.

"i think he's with some random young woman again, ugh. i wish mom's here." she said.

i ignored her but she suddenly hugged my waist and pressed her body against me. i quickly pushed her body away from me.

"just find mister gong and we're leaving." i said.

she hissed and arranged her posture while crossing her arms.

"but i can't find dad anywhere!" she whined.

i rolled my eyes then suddenly, my earpiece turned on.

"i can't track hoseok, i think someone attacked him."
