"Why me?" I asked. "Wouldn't there be someone way better than me at that job?"

"You may not realise it Yerin," Eunjung said, "I think you have quite the talent."

"What talent?"

"Yoongi and I heard about what happened to your father. You did it, right? You used psychological attacks on him so he'd lose control? And also you used Nam Seoyun's brother as a leverage for her. That is a talent."

"Oh," I looked down. I didn't know manipulation could be a talent.

Just as Jimin and I were about to leave Eunjung's office, we heard a choking sound. She had a hand over her mouth and and a tears were forming in her eyes. I hurried to her side and saw what she was looking at; inside the top drawer that she just opened there was a framed picture of her.

"Yoongi..." Eunjung's hands began to tremble. The memories and sadness must have been triggered by seeing how Yoongi kept a picture of her at his desk. "My love..." She shakily reached for the picture, and held it to her chest where her heart was.

"I think we should give her some space," I went back to Jimin's side and whispered to him. We went back down via the elevator. I put on again the black mask I borrowed from Jungkook before exiting the building.

"We need to go shopping for new necessities." Jimin said.

I nodded in agreement. Most of our stuff were blown up along with Yoongi's mansion. And then we left what was remained in Hong Kong when we escaped in a hurry.

"Why don't we go to Uncle Seongho's shop?" I suggested, "He sells daily necessities too."

"Sure." Jimin said and we took a taxi back to the area near my old apartment.

The bells rang as we opened the door and entered his shop. "Uncle Seongho!" I called out after taking off my mask.

"Ah Yerin!" He smiled brightly. "Where have you been? I was so surprised when I saw someone else living in your apartment!"

"Yea, I moved..." I said, as Jimin went to look around the store.

"I heard about your father. I knew he was just a drunken bastard, but I never knew he could go so far as to hit policemen. Now he's in the place you just came out of."

I sighed, "Don't remind me."

"Right sorry Yerin." He laughed sheepily.

Jimin dumped a pile of things onto the counter. Uncle Seongho started checking them out.

"Clothes next?" I asked Jimin.

Jimin nodded. "Let's go to the mall."

We went to the mall Jungkook and I shopped in quite a while ago and bought just enough clothes.

Suddenly Jimin's phone made a 'ding' noise just as we walked out of the glass doors of the mall. He took it out of his pocket to check whatever he received.

"I should go now," Jimin said, "I need to start planning."

He must have received the hit list from Eunjung. "Alright," I nodded. "I'll go to the safe house then."

"Jungkook asked if you need a lift."

"Tell him yes please," I replied. Jimin typed into his phone.

Not long after, Jungkook turned up in a standard FIRE black car, but him being the driver himself.

"Hey Yerin get in." He said poking his head out of the driver's seat window.

I quickly hugged Jimin goodbye and got into the seat next to Jungkook. He stared driving.

"So how was your shopping trip?" Jungkook asked, his eyes still focused on the road.

"It was good, got everything I need. It actually reminded me of that time we went shopping together." I said.

He chukled. "Lets hope we don't go back and find a kidnapped woman this time," he said, referring to how we discovered Seoyun when we arrived back at the apartment.

I laughed as well, "Yea... That actually turned out quite well didn't it? I mean, she was the one that warned me of the police raid, and now she had taken the blame for the Busan Killer."

"I know, I'm surprised how well it turned out. Letting go of a kidnap victim is never usually a good idea."

I clicked my tongue, "I'm glad that didn't turn out to be the most terrible idea I've ever had."

After a while of driving, we were back in the more rural area of Busan. Turned out the safe house was again the warehouse where the initiates trained.

Instead of going in from the large door at the front like we had done all the other times before, Jungkook went around to the back and typed something into a rusty keypad next to a small door. He pushed open it revealing the small living room right behind it.

"Sir," the trainees stood up and greeted Jungkook respectfully, and surprise was obvious on their faces when they saw me coming in. Like the first time I met them, I gave them a small smile.

"Yerin will be staying here with you for the while," Jungkook said to them. "Be nice to her."

"Yes sir." They chorused.

"Anyway," Jungkook clapped his hands together, "Have you all done the thing I told you to do?"

"Yes, sir," they once again chorused.

"Good."

The door behind us once again opened and it was Taehyung who came through it.

"Jungkook, Yerin!" He flashed his signature smile.

"Hyung," Jungkook greeted.

"Yerin why are you here?" Taehyung asked closing the door behind him.

"Did Eunjung not tell you?" I remembered Eunjung saying that she wanted to see Taehyung so he must have just came back from it.

He shook his head, "No, Boss only asked me to do something for her."

"She can tell you later," Jungkook interrupted. He turned to the rest of the initiates. "Now that you all have been training for a while, we might give you missions soon. As you know, we are at war with Bludhood, and you will be able to contribute to this war. This will serve as a test. If you successfully carry out your given mission, then you will skip pass junior member and be officially accepted as an intermediate member of FIRE."

I saw most of their expressions turned serious after hearing what Jungkook said about the membership. But I was already a junior member, would I be promoted? I guess my mission was the one Eunjung gave me earlier.

One of the guy spoke up, "What if we fail?"

"No failure will be accepted." Jungkook replied, giving a rather ambiguous answer. But the tone in his voice was enough to make me shiver. He continued, "Either myself, or another member will give you your missions later on. Any questions?" He nodded when no one spoke up.

He turned to me and said in an audible volume, "Yerin, if anything happens, tell me."

I nodded. He took me by surprise by following that with a hug, right under the gaze of all the other trainees.

"I'm helping you with your mission," he whispered in my ear so that only I could hear.

Oh, right. I guess favoritism does create strife between students. I hugged back. "Thanks. But Jimin will kill you if he found out," I whispered to him as well.

"Then he won't." He pulled away with a smirk.

He then left through the door. The atmosphere in the room immediately changed without him here. His did have that certain aura to him that demanded respect, much like Yoongi and Eunjung. Whereas Jimin, with his cold gaze, was intimidating more than anything.
