A Million stars shined above the house, the cold yet soothing wind gushed through as she leaned on the railing of the rooftop of her mansion. How badly she wished to be one of the stars that would hand around the sky and just shine. She was called a star by one of her friend, but she refers to herself as a dead star. There was no shine in her life, no brightness, she didn't know when she would fall from her throne.

A tired sigh left her lips as she grazed through the stars, she was tired and that was no lie. She was tired of everything. She was never proud of what she has become. People would say she is Cool, they would say she looks strong but she knows deep down that she had to go through alot to come to this place. It wasn't Cool, it was terrifying.

Her parents might hate her for what she has become right now. But she had no option, she was bound to this fate and not even god can change it now. No matter how much she would try to change her fate, she wouldn't be able to cause a dead star cannot shine bright again. Her gaze fell on the backyard where a bonfire was made.

Most of the guards and trainees were relaxing around it and having fun. Those little boys and girl who were training were also dead stars, they had no option but to Join her team. And she gave them shelter cause she didn't want them to go through what she went when she was young. She swore she would try her best to make the dead stars shine bright, even though it was impossible.

She looked at the ring on her ring finger, a smile crept onto her face. It was him who gave her the ring, him who promised to give her a life. But was she ready to be one with him? She didn't know. She was doing all this for business purposes. Marrying was never something she had in her mind but it was all for the business.

She grabbed her guitar on the floor and sat on the floor. Her delicate fingers stared playing with the strings creating a beautiful melody. Her body swayed from left to right while she hummed.

He plopped himself on his bed and looked at the ceiling, the information his hyungs gave him didn't register in his mind well so he needed time to register them. Apparently he is in The most wanted criminal and mafia leaders mansion, and she had been protecting them? Wasn't it supposed to happen the other way around? Like the government protecting them and witch harassing them. It seemed like the world he knew had changed.

"What are you thinking Kook?" Taehyung walked into his room and sat on the bed and crossed his legs. Jungkook tilted his head and looked at Taehyung.

"Do you trust her?" Jungkook asked and Taehyung sighed.

"I don't" Taehyung answered simply, Jungkook squinted his eyes and sat up.

"Why not?" He asked and Taehyung sighed.

"Why would Witch, a ruthless mafia leader want to protect us? That's absurd" taehyung said and Jungkook clicked his fingers startling the latter.

"Exactly what I was thinking, this might be some kind of trap" Jungkook said and Taehyung thanked lord that someone agress with him.

"Seokjin and Namjoon trusts her but I can't, she's treating us way better than our parents did" Taehyung said and Jungkook sighed. He saw how Namjoon and Seokjin acted around Angel, they looked too friendly. "We have to do something kook" Taehyung said taking Jungkook's attention.

"First we have to know where we are, then we have to know what she wants from the Kim's and then we escape the place" Jungkook said and Taehyung nodded.

"What if we make her fall for you?" Taehyung asked making Jungkook frown in confusion.

"Fall for me?" He asked clueless. Taehyung kissed his teeth and leaned closer to Jungkook then whispered.

"I can see that she adores you, what if you make her fall for you using your charms? If she falls for you we can play her like a puppet" Taehyung's words made the latter let out a fake gag. Taehyung chuckled and smacked the boy on his hand.

"Are you serious? Why don't you try it?" He asked Taehyung making him smirk.

"I already have one, and I can't cheat on her" Taehyung said making Jungkook hum and nod. "The only problem is that you are younger than her, from how many years" taehyung started counting from his fingers "oh six years?" Taehyung said and Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.

"Age doesn't matter, she will instantly fall for me when I call her Nuna" Jungkook said making Taehyung chuckle. Jungkook wasn't lying, when he calls an elder girl Nuna they instantly fall for him. "But Are you sure it would work? As I can see she is quite tough" Jungkook said frowning.

"Nah, she acts soft around you, I have seen it by my naked eyes" Taehyung said pointing at his eyes.

"Well then let's start mission Make Witch fall for Kook tommorow"

The next day arrived and it was already afternoon. Walking around the shelves in her office she was collecting some needed files to deal with some problems in her businesses. Just then a knock was heard from her door, she uttered a come in and the door opened revealing Namjoon.

He was in his blue shirt, the first few buttons were unbuttoned revealing a little bit of his sturdy chest. His brown throusers fit perfectly onto him. He ran his finger over his black hair and smirked realizing that she was checking him out.

"You called me?" Namjoon asked making her blink furiously and look at the files in her hand. A pink blush crept onto he face but she quickly ignored it and nodded at him.

"Since you can't work in the kitchen, I decided to make you work with me, help me with my stuff" she spoke up and placed the files on the table. He walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

He was impressed by the design and the colors she has chosen for her office. The walls were a dark black and there was a tall window at the right side of the wall which was covered with a white and gold curtain. There was a small chandelier handing atop the ceiling lighting up the room.

The Furnitures in the room were either black or grey and they fit perfectly with the designs of the walls. She placed some large files on the coffee table beside the window and looked at him "I need you to enter the important details into the spreadsheets, I bet you know how to do it since you have done it in your company" she said and he nodded.

He took a seat on the couch and watched as she walked towards her seat and sat on it. She wore her glasses and started working on her own. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun, few strands of hair fell infront of her face but she paid no attention to it. She had her legs crossed over the chair staying comfortably while working.

She was wearing a black hoodie and some black joggers with some round glasses on her cute nose. She looked like that nerdy and hot student in the college. Her whole office was filled up with her canilla scent and he liked it, it suited her. He broke his focus on her and looked back at his work, bis eyes fell on the opened laptop on his table and then it fell on the six large files beside the laptop.

He opened a file and went through it and frowned, he looked at witch and back at the file "Angel?" He called out to her making her hum. "It says here that Elizabeth Crime is you, but as I know Elizabeth crime is the one who own a chain of hotels in Russia" he said and looked up at her, she looked at him with a smile.

"I am the one who owns a chain of hotels in Russia" she spoke up confusing him.

"So you are telling me you are Elizabeth crime?" He asked and she nodded "wow, how can you manage so much of business while I can't manage one?" He asked and his shoulders slumped in confusion.

"I have many people with great skills working under me, I just check if they do their stuff properly" she said with a smile making his mind blow. He leaned onto his knees and looked at her through squinted eyes.

"You're Lying" he said and it was her time to frown now, she leaned onto the table and squinted her eyes at him. The two did a intense staring contest and Namjoon knew he was going to loose. His eys started burning and he immediately blinked, smiling in victory Angel at back on her seat properly and continued doing her work.

"Fine you're not lying" he uttered making her snicker while working. He started doing the work peacefully he liked it at this office. Maybe because there were no much distractions while doing his work. Back in his office whenever he decides to do something, his assistant or ohone calls would always delay his plans.

Angel was writting down something but she had the urge to look at namjoon and she did so, he had his eyebrows furrowed while reading the details. His fingers skilfully skipped pages as his eyes read every single word. His lean body was rested on the couch, and his hair was a little bit messy. Why did she had the urge to look at him? She didn't know but she knew that he looked too good for her liking.

Suddenly he looked up and their gazes met, she immediately lowered her gaze and continued her work while biting her lips nervously. A small smile crept onto her face as she remembered the first time she saw him in the dandelion field. She was there for a mission, and she accidentally saw him enjoying his time on the fields. He looked free and happy as ever.

--•☆•--

The blue sky looked clearer than she has ever seen, she held her camera on her hand and took some beautiful pictures of the nature. She didn't come here for a vacation although she wished she did. She was here for a bloody mission, to kill someone as always. A sigh left her lips as she sat under the tree and leaned on it.

Holding her camera near her eyes she looking around through the lens of the camera, she stopped when she saw someone walking towards the field with a book on his hold. He was wearing a white shirt that wasn't tucked into his black trousers. The breeze gushed over him messing his neatly combed dark charcoal hair.

He stood at the middle of the field and looked around with a soft smile on his face, his dimple on exhibit. Without her consciousness she clicked a picture of him and a smile crept onto her face. The man walked deep into the fields and sat on it then leaned back on his hands and looked at the clear sky.

He started running his fingers over the dandelions and Angel immediately clicked another picture of his smile. He looked handsome and breath taking. She was never the one to like a guy but he was an exception. Suddenly her phone vibrated in her pocket and she knew she had to leave for the mission. She took one last glance at him and scrambled away from the fields.
