"Pull the trigger I said"

Hands trembling, holding and pointing the heavy arm she was provided with toward the vulnerable man, her tears were flowing like rain, she never visioned her self in that sad instance, and crying wasn't really helpful, its not like someone will be merciful toward her, nor will pity the man who was waiting for his termination. Well, those feelings for sure weren't to be expected from Julia, and that she knows.

Keeping a hold on the gun with one hand, the other roamed toward her face, attempting to clear her blurred vision from the tears, she tilted her head toward her mom, her eyes pleading the latter to change her already made decision, she couldn't run away, not when another gun was pointed on her, threatening her life in case she pulls any tricks. Julia was more than ready to face any kind of extent, going as far as killing her own daughter in case of disobedience, she needed her to follow the orders, to eliminate any pressure points in her life before they could grow notorious. She needed the girl to be strong minded, unstoppable, unreachable, and furthermore, merciless, just the way she was.

"I'm begging you, please, reconsider, I can't lead a normal life if I kill him, I won't mom"

"Who saids you would have a normal life, your destiny is no normal one, so your life will never be on the normal side either, look around you Katarina, this luxury you're cuddled in can't tolerate any weak behaviour, I want you to keep my words in your brain forever Katarina, you're not allowed to have any weakness, since you are fated to be using other's weakness in your benefit"

There was no better lesson for Katarina than the one her mom chosen, killing with her own hands the man for whom she bored feelings, nothing could make her stronger, nothing could make her anymore merciless than that, shaping her into a beast, unbeatable one, a beast hidden under the mask of a beautiful princess, a nice tactic for a deceitful camouflage, just like the way poisonous flowers are, actually, the similarities between the latter and the person Julia wanted to make out of her daughter are many, a luring flower, with no thorns, urging the viewers to touch it, only to feel a strong numbness in their limbs at the impact, killing them slowly and painfully.

Without clemency.

" If you don't pull the trigger, I will pull it, but in your head instead, so the choice is yours my beauty, your life....or his"

Her eyes fell on her arm that was sitting on her lap, the watch grabbed her attention, recalling some old memories she strongly wanted to erase from her mind. Riding to meet the man she shot a bullet in his chest, made her mind clouded to say the less, different thoughts in her brain, past and present all mixed in her brain, driving her to a certain madness she wanted to avoid.

However, all her clouded thoughts were reigned by that only strong one, the man who entered her life unexpectedly, to say that he was taking over her slowly , would definitely be a strong understatement. Her inner anger was only soothed by him, stress that was hard to manage, is now easily calmed by his voice, his touch was more than enough for her to forget the world, he was becoming slowly a danger to her sanity, interfering with her logics, forcing her to question decisions that were before him easily casted.

Sensing a potential danger coming from his way toward her, Katarina halted her visits to the penthouse, ever since the night she tasted his lust, she knew that her strong obsession toward him grown way more than before, the bond between them got stronger, and honestly from her side it impact was bigger, almost making her questioning a possibility for a potential request of withdrawal from the upcoming match. If that could keep him safe, she saw no bad coming from such a possibility, only a big loss of money that she could work harder to earn, or, the loss of confidence and credibility that she would be forever sacrificing .

Was it really worth the sacrifice though?

Howbeit, the woman was doted with a strong character, such a bad comportment won't be coming from a businesswoman such her self, obviously, she won't be putting neither her self nor her partner who had faith in her in such a stupid situation, endangering their business and not only, but also their lives for the sake of a feeling, a feeling that could probably be better described as love.

But she wasn't sure enough it was.

Collecting her thoughts back, Katarina took her phone handy, dialling Seokjin's number who was busy in his negotiation process, in the end, the idea was his, he planned and executed carefully, throwing a small bait that succeeded in catching a big fish, albeit she knew Seokjin better than any one else, he again surprised her positively.

" Oppa, any news?"

"Only good ones honey, I'll be waiting for you with our guest"

As she entered the big warehouse, a familiar feeling visited her heart, the situation seemed nostalgic, almost close from the one in her memories, she definitely knew that the woman she is now is not even near to the one she was at that time, and that modified the feeling in her heart as well, the little scared girl was death already, walking down that unpaved path there was a strong woman instead, no space for fear to occupy a place in her heart.

And definitely no regret.

Seokjin made it seem like a natural occurrence, in the end, it was very typical for loan sharks to get entangled with the police, arresting the limbs of a gang was a common incident that mobs faced frequently, so creating the perfect circumstance for such a situation to happen only needed a bit of wit, which was Seokjin's number one quality.Following one of Hain's guys around, using the tabs Taehyung collected, his man got familiarised with his work, landing eye on the woman who was being threatened every day in her restaurant, almost forbidding her from working peacefully as the man came every single day to claim the high interest from the loan she fully paid already, Seokjin decided to show once again his generosity, promising the woman about a better future, and an easy life, he succeeded in convincing her with greed, the rest followed easily, after the latter made an official complain to the police, who were for once quick enough in their followups sending Hain's right hand to prison, as his criminal record was already dramatic.

To corner Hain further, Seokjin pressured some of his partner to withdraw from his side, bringing to light the shadiness of their so called partner's business, which leaded in a big impact over his clean or better said, legal business, cutting the income to half if not more.With the hardships his illegal business was facing as well, and with the numerous arrests in his gang, financial income became a real daily struggle, feeding strong men was no easy task, their continuously soliciting mouths were always on the needy side, but money wasn't flowing the way it was supposed to be, leading to a loss in power, and labor-forces.

" Good afternoon gentlemen"

" My dear partner, I hope you had a comfortable ride over here, I'm really sorry, this place got your beautiful heels dirty my dear"

" For such a beautiful occasion, I needed to be dressed up, I hope you are enjoying our company Hain-ssi?"

Her eyes locked on the man who was sitting on the woody chair, both legs crossed, showing a brave demeanour to mask his worried self, Katarina had a reproving gaze, as she was inwardly blaming him for his bad choice in decisions, there was no need for him to seek revenge after all that time, in the end, he should have known that she was also forced, he could have created a plausible excuse for her instead of harbouring hate, he could as well have known his place, he was simply no match, seeking revenge on a powerful person as her, could only be described dumb-witted, not at all a move a wise man could make.

"Jung Hain-ssi, long time no see"

"Indeed Miss Park, usually death people don't come back from their graves, but...here I'm"

Making it seems like a sort of miracle about which he wanted to brag, Hain exceeded in downing her with regret once again, after almost ten years since she started running from that scary memory, he was with only few words able to bring her trauma to surface. A sly move, but he could have saved it to his self.

" Goners should keep their distances Hain-ssi, sometimes, staying away from a comeback is an option to be considered as well"

" Not one for me though"

She figured his tactics very soon, his moves were expected, not at all suspenseful, his anger was standing out so much, every single body move was screaming his inner thoughts, making it way easier than she expected to read him. But no one can blame him, he was being deceived again, he fell in her trap again after having thought he would never do, especially after he succeeded in creating a name for his self, gaining respect and power, only to find his self at the beginning point, again, because of her.

Hain thought of Seokjin as a form of a life-saver, after being drown in deep  failures, hands tied from all sides, the only person who proposed help was Seokjin, proposing an investment with a huge sum at the stake, tenting enough the man getting his logics turned off at once, the need was way bigger than being picky or wisely putted, wary.

Accepting the deal at once, without really thinking about the background of the man behind the marionette strings, in all cases, the man who introduced his self as the business counsellor of an infamous company wasn't Seokjin personally, it was Hoseok, another sly fox Katarina had on her side, who knew exactly how to convince blindly Hain, leading him to his definite death.

It was the easiest plan Seokjin ever thought of, but so much satisfying for his bored mind, he simply cornered him financially, and that was enough to have total control over a greedy, and needy man, who was now faced by his one and only demon.

Hain who came to the warehouse to enclose a weapons deal with supposedly Hoseok, found Seokjin and his men waiting instead, and instead of signing the documents for the money transfer, Katarina showed up, draining into the sink his hopes on the deal, letting him figure by his own self the level of his ignorance at once.

" You see Jung Hain-ssi, I like tenacious men, I do respect them in fact, but you should have been wiser, taking control over my man was no smart move from your side, if not for that, I would have showed better respect to you, believe me"

" A mistake, I should have killed him right after making a good use of him"

"Another mistake is over self-esteem Hain"

"No Katarina, I guess its greed, let me point that out"

He was dragging time, but Katarina begged to differ, she has no time to loose on him, she needed answers for her few questions, so she can answer the phone that was buzzing inside her pocket, after the first attempt to check the caller, her urge to leave grown bigger. Jungkook was calling, his call needed to be answered and not at all ignored, she was able to avoid meeting him, but his calls were her only joy at the moment.

" What is that you need Hain?"

" Pay me back for my lost youth Katarina"

"Okay I will middle in that one Hain-ssi, I guess you need a small correction on that note, she gave you a huge possibility to gain a better life, think of it as reincarnation without even dying man, you were for sure on the winning side"

" You may think of it that way Seokjin-ssi, your opinion in this matter is strongly irrelevant"

The man dared to wake Seokjin's anger, albeit he was being calm and keeping it all bottled, honouring Katarina's request, the man decided to satisfy his self with the loss he downed on the guy in front of him, but the latter seemed to have thoughts about heating the situation up, and Seokjin couldn't stop his self from realising the man's wishes hurriedly. Standing up from the chair, Seokjin took confident but slow steps toward the seated man, taking off his vest, and rolling up his sleeves while halting in the between, followed by a pick on the momentum, landing a strong blow on the man's jaw.

Katarina kept looking at the scene intently, she had no thoughts of stopping Seokjin after having witnessed the misshaped behaviour of Hain with her own eyes, he became so different, the nice guy inside him left completely, leaving behind and arrogant but ignorant person who failed to know his place.

" That was for the deeds you've done to Jimin, you son of a bitch...don't think its over though, since I have just started"

Spotting the blood from his injury in Seokjin's white shirt, Katarina decided to leave the place, giving time to Seokjin to gain the fruit of his well executed plan, and take his sweet revenge, she however halted before reaching the big door, throwing a look over her shoulder, a look that leaded her to turn around to meet the man's gaze again.

"You will think about what you want, and if you survive his rage, let me know..not before you get your sanity back though"

Not really caring about an answer from a man who was being beaten while pinned by some strong guards, Katarina decided to clear up her thoughts, reaching to her phone, she dialled Jungkook's number hurriedly, she missed many of his calls already, making him worry was the last thing she wished for.

"Where are you?"

" You haven't answered any of my calls, I'm in your club in Gagnam...You?"

" I was clearing some misunderstandings, wait for me there, I will be there in a few"

Forgetting about the distance she previously decided to put between them, Katarina urged to Gagnam, only thinking about how warm his embrace would be for her cold soul, how he could make her forget her troubles once she smells his scent was the only thing she could think about, it was so wrong she knew it, she would be on the loosing side with this growing habit of her, she was well aware, but it was already late to retrieve.

" Where is Jungkook?"

" I suggested the VIP room you usually use Katarina-ssi for him, he is waiting for you there"

Her fast steps reached the second floor quickly, jolting the doorknob and pushing the door back, Katarina took fast steps toward Jungkook who was busy checking his phone before his attention diverted toward the sound of the cracked door, without giving him any time to process the situation, Katarina rushed toward his seated figure as she slammed the door closed behind her with steadily steps. She grabbed Jungkook by the collar of his black leather jacket, which has resulted on motioning his figure up toward her standing one, involving the still shocked man in a deep kiss, a much needed one to satiate her longing feelings, she devoured his lips and discovered his mouth as her tongue urged for access to the latter. A short lived control, before Jungkook decided to turn the tables around, holding strongly on her waist and jolting her to his right just to push her strongly on the sofa he was sitting in, he hovered over her pushing his body to reach for her warmth, his hand supporting his weight with his palm crushed over the couch, not resisting his attempt to take over, Katarina twisted her hands around his neck, seeking for a deeper kiss which she ended up enjoying.
