THIRTY TWO: MR. SAN'S SECRET

SOUJIN POV

"Remember, d-don't you go running off by yourself, I won't forgive myself if something happens to you," Jungkook said as he helped me out of the car.

"Jungkook, you should go and help Taehyung set his equipment. Yeonjun, you and Soujin try to interrogate the bartenders," Yuuri said, and Jungkook sighed as he smiled a bit.

"Soujin, don't seperate yourself from Yeonjun, alright? Stay safe," Jungkook said as he ran over to Taehyung, and Yuuri approached us.

"I'm sure you know what to do as attorneys, I'll try doing my research with Taehyung, Jimin and Yoongi... both of you spy on anything suspicious," Yuuri said as she walked away, and me and Yeonjun nodded at each other before entering the bar.

Ichiwon bar, the biggest bar in South Korea. Known for the variety of drinks and food, as well as the party life. College people come here alot to drink in private rooms, and there are tons of other people dancing.

"Oh for sure if I worked as a stripper here, I'd be getting all that attention," Jimin sighed and Yoongi rolled his eyes.

"You'd do that infront of my own eyes?" Yoongi side-eyed him and Jimin's eyes widened.

"What are you implying, you jerk?!"

"We should start asking the bartender for some potential solutions. I am not sure about why Yuuri noona chose this location, but it is a very interesting case as to why," Yeonjun said and I looked at the man handling the bar, serving drinks.

We both sat down on the seats, pretending to be guests that came casually for a drink.

"Hello fellow guests, you're both dressed nicely. What can I get for both of you?" He asked, and Yeonjun sighed as he looked at the menu.

"It's our first time here in Ichiwon, is there any info you can give on this place? Any... background? I like to see if I can trust this bar," He asked, and the bartender chuckled.

"Ichiwon is the most advanced and ths most popular in South Korea owned by the famous Mr. San! We might have loud nights and cheers here and there, but surely our drinks won't disappoint," he replies, and Yeonjun sighs.

"Your drinks... look boring, is there something more here?" He asks, and the bartender laughs, before nodding.

"Pardon me, sir?" He asks nicely.

"You know what I'm looking for, do you sell drugs here?" He whispers.

THIRD PERSON POV

"Drugs?! What is Mr. Junyeon high on?" Taehyung said, and Yuuri swatted him gently on the head.

"Shhh! You're blocking out the voice! Try to look into the cameras," Yuuri said, and Taehyung zoomed in towards Soujin and Yeonjun.

"It seems to me that Yeonjun is finding a way to see if he can get info on LIVV here, by generalizing drugs," Yuuri explained, and Jungkook looked at her.

"Now that I think about it, why aren't you with them?" Jungkook raised a brow and Yuuri sighed.

"This isn't even my case, I'm simply giving my support. Having Soujin personally finding out and figuring this out herself is one way to let her discover how this system works," Yuuri said, and Jungkook crossed his arms.

"Seems to me you just have a bad drinking habit so you don't force yourself into the bar or else you'd get drunk," Jungkook muttered.

"What did you say... Jungkook?" Yuuri said, and Jungkook turned pale.

"N-nothing ma'am!" Jungkook replied.

"You don't speak like that to Yuuri noona you jerkful swine!" Taehyung said and Jungkook rolled his eyes.

SOUJIN POV

"Ah.... so this is what you're here for, I must admit... you're all pretty straightforward about this," he whispered,

"Follow me, young sir and ma'am. I believe what you are finding is right here. But first, we would like your proof of authencity that you both have no connection to police and any other people that could get us caught," he said, and Yeonjun sighed as he pulled something out of his wallet.

It was a small white card. I found out that it was some other identification card, a card that he never really discloses to anyone.

FLASHBACK

"And then, we'll try to make them spill that they're still doing illegal activities. I just found out from a connection of mine that Ichiwon sells illegal drugs. We may get some more information on LIVV if we just keep being oblivious to it," Yeonjun said and everyone looked at him.

"Wait a minute, and how? Most dealers try to make sure your background has nothing to do with the police, how could you not get caught in the act? Do you have proof?" Hoseok asked, and Yuuri sighed as she sat back on the sofa.

"He does, lots of proof," Yuuri said and Yeonjun took out a card.

"This is my identification card. It is a card I don't often disclose to. Only people who are in deeper and darker businesses know me in some way, I'm pretty ashamed to actually even say that....," Yeonjun sighed as he looked down at his lap.

"Wait! So does this mean....? You? Do drugs?" Taehyung asked and Yuuri looked over at Yeonjun.

"Yeonjun's father is a mafia boss. Well-known in the country as Big Brother or The Hyung. Although Yeonjun was never wanted to be like his father, as the son there are things that can never be altered," Yuuri said.

"Then how did he become an attorney with that background?" Jungkook asked.

"As I said, Yeonjun is clean. And I don't care about him being the son of a mafia boss, because he is his own person," Yuuri smiled and Taehyung's eyes sparkled.

"Then why not Jungkook? Isn't he also someone with deep connections with drug dealers?" Yoongi asked ans Yuuri sighed.

"Jungkook, is off limits in the time being. He is to be hid off from San's view or property. Some of you are the victims here, and if any of you steps in San's schemes, he will do anything to make sure he turns you into suspects, and frames you. Plus, San is after Bangtan, it is dangerous. But we will interfere upon emergencies," Yuuri explained.

END OF.FLASHBACK

"Y-you're the infamous Choi Jun? The son of Big Brother? Oh my! This has to be one of the most greatest days of my life!" The bartender smiled as he got off of the counter, gesturing to us.

"Follow me, this way," he smiled, and we both nodded at each other as a sign.

"I heard there was a new drug. And we're interested," I said as we walked along with him.

"Ah yes, what is it?" He replied.

"It's a pill that had the ability to give someone behaviors that can be mind-controlled, and it works wonders, right?" I replied.

I said pill, when it was supposed to be a syringe. That way it can also be confirmed that LIVV truly is inside the bar, and it can be considered a solid proof.

"Actually, it is a syringe called LIVV, ma'am. I suppose with this much knowledge about it SAN might be acknowledging you," the bartender replied and Yeonjun leaned in towards me.

"You try to find more clues, I follow this dude," Yeonjun said, and I nodded before nodding at both of them.

"Is it okay if I proceed to use the restroom? I'll be catching up with both of you later," I said, and Yeonjun and the man nodded as I slowly withdrew myself.

I looked around the crowd, before slowly going up the stairs, where only the staff is allowed.

I walked along quietly, trying to find some clues to find SAN reponsible, and my eyes widened as I suddenly heard a noise.

I quickly hid at the side, as I listened to the noise. It was two people talking, and they seemed to be having a secretive conversation.

"This kid looks beautiful. I believe he'll make a good pet to me."

"That's a nice way to put it. We have more in stock, children are young, youthful people, aren't they?"

"Why yes, that is what makes them healthy and beautiful. I believe I will have to choose this one to be mine to keep."

I clenched my fists as I tries to contain the anger, my mind was whirling with different scenarios on what to do at this situation.

They're literally dealing those poor kids off, how dare they!

Alright, calm down. We should atleast find out where this is all going. This is not the end of the story.

I looked at bit to my back, and found the two figures escorting a child to the staircase.

I stayed quiet as I looked at how their figures slowly disappeared, and I quickly followed them downstairs where they were heading.

"Please, enjoy yourself while you're with him, safety travels, Big Brother," the man called out.

Big Brother? Yeonjun's father?

"Alright, I'll go now. Thank you for your service," the man replied and the other man who was working here walked away, and I slowly followed him.

As I walked further in I looked at the door at the side, it was an iron door, and it had passcode lock beside it. I slowly approached it as soon as the man disappeared, and I observed the lock closely.

I opened my purse before taking out a powder. It was some kind powder that was given to me by Yuuri. It was used to find out the fingerprints on which number were pressed, and I slowly rubbed some on the passcode. I also made sure to scan the fingerprints for evidence.

After putting in the code, I slowly walked inside the dark room, it was very dark actually, with no light or anything in particular.

But there was something glowing, it was very unfamiliar to me.

"Hello!" A voice sang, and my heart jumped as the door suddenly closed shut.

I stayed silent, searching for the source of the voice as the voice kept chuckling.

"Oh, you couldn't see me can't you? Or you're scared? I guess I'll have to show myself!" The voice said.

Then, the lights suddenly turned on, and my eyes widened as I looked at what was before me.

"Hello fellow visitor! You must very sneaky to come over here like this! As someone put in-charge of this facility, I advise you leave," the person, which is now infront of me said.

She was very short, and had a childlike voice. She was like a toddler and she wore polo shirt with a vest and some shorts with socks and black shoes. She was holding a clipboard and she looked... fuzzy. Literally.

"I am DuoYi! Programmed AI hologram. My master does not like outsiders, so please leave immediately," she said, and I almost jumped upon seeing this kid.

"DuoYi, what's with all that racket? I'm busy, you know?" Another voice said as footsteps started invading the quiet room.

"My master has arrived, if you won't leave. You can talk to him," DuoYi smiled cheekily as her hologram ran to the figure who I can now see clearly.

I slowly observed him. He was wearing a labcoat and his face looked tired. And his left eye was covered with an electronic eye invention. More like he looked like a half robot with his left eye covered with that.

I read his name that was on his badge.

Kim Namjoon.
