"Either you take her by killing me or leave her by killing yourself."

"W..what are you s..saying, Taehyung? I cannot do that." He vulnerably stated with his shaky voice whereas Taehyung just stared at him with his cold merciless gaze.

''Brother, what you are doing? Please leave him." Jungkook uttered taking his steps near them.

"You stay out of it and bring the deal papers right now." He gazed at him while a lick of fire was present in his inscrutable eyes which made Jungkook drop his gaze down.

"But-"

"I said right now."

Jungkook immediately dashed out from there not before giving a sympathetic look to Jimin.

Taehyung was getting irritated by each passing second when he saw Jimin was doing nothing but just standing like a statue making him grit his teeth in anger.

He gripped his hand hardly which was holding the pistol tightly and made him point the pistol towards him.

"C'mon shoot me and take her with you."

Jimin widened his eyes and instantly gazed at him in pure horror. Taehyung reverted his hand and placed it inside his pocket.

While Jimin was still holding onto the pistol with his shaky hand which was pointed in Taehyung's direction.

''Shoot right now.''

Jimin gulped his saliva and touched the tip of the trigger using his index finger and shut his lashes while shedding tears.

Jimin-ah, promise me that in future you will never break my trust.

I will never Tae, I promise.

You are my best friend Jiminie.

Eat this food, I don't want you to eat that burnt food.

Jiminie, please let's study with me, I want you to be successful in your life.

Taehyungie, calm down auntie will wake up soon.

She left me and sis, Jimin..

You know, I saw a beautiful angel just like my eomma..

Taehyungie, I want to study further but I don't have money.

Take my savings and become a great businessman in future.

I want you to protect her for me till I come here again. Will you do that?

Is she doing well?

Please inform me about her and my sis.

Gift her the phone on her birthday which I sent you.

I can never betray you.

I hope so because if you do I will kill you.

He instantly opened his eyes and harshly threw the pistol across the bedroom and broke down into tears.

''I'm sorry Taehyung, I became so selfish that I didn't think about your happiness and our promise. P..please forgive me.''

He fell on his knees sobbing loudly letting out all his painful sobs and seeing his miserable condition Taehyung's eyes softened after all he knew him from his childhood days. He was about to scoot near but stopped when he heard the footsteps.

Jungkook walked inside with the document and passed it to Taehyung while watching Jimin with his sad eyes.
Taehyung took the document and opened looking into it to check whether he brought the correct one or not. Once he found it was the correct one, he bent down in front of Jimin and showed him the documents.

"Let's get you free from this responsibility."

He dictated in his dangerous calm voice making Jimin look up at him with his blurry eyes and then at the documents which he was holding.

Taehyung took out the lighter from his pocket and set the document on fire making both Jimin's and Jungkook's eyes widen in shock.

"You are free from your responsibility now, and..

He paused, and stared into his eyes before continuing further,

I want you to handle your business from your other branch that is in India." He stood up and fixed his coat putting the lighter back in his pocket.

"I hope you will not disobey me again."

He was about to take his steps but stopped when Jimin gripped his wrist making him turn back and looked into his eyes.

"Let me meet her for last time and I promise after that I will never come back here again."

He begged in his trembling voice, joining his hand in front of him while shedding his painful tears making Taehyung clench his fist, closing his eyes in distress but one thing he knew was that Jimin was a man of his words.

"You can meet her and after that, I want you away from this country. Hope I made myself clear to you." His deadly tone made Jimin shudder more than anything.

"Thank you so much, Tae." He breathed out and wiped off his tears weakly smiling at him whereas Taehyung turned to walk off followed by Jungkook.

At your house,

"Oh my lord, leave me. I don't wanna die this soon." Your aunt who just arrived spoke as you were embracing her in your bone-crushing hug.

You detached yourself from her only to get a smack on your forehead which made you let out a hiss.

''Ouch.. What was that for?'' You groaned in pain rubbing your forehead where she smacked.

"For your crazy hug. I was about to die." She responded and sat down on the sofa taking a breath of relief.

"I missed you." You sat beside her clinging onto her arm and making her smile at your action.

''I missed u too."

"What about me aunt?" Minjee came out of the kitchen with a glass of water in her hand. She gave it to your aunt which she gladly accepted.

"I missed you too, Minjee.'' She acknowledged before drinking the water.

"By the way, I'm very hungry. What's in the breakfast?" She asked and passed the glass to Minjee.

"B..breakfast? It is left to make." You muttered nervously smiling at her.

"What?! Seriously? You are lazy. Always eat and sleep." She stated glaring at you and soon she started hitting you with her hand on your shoulder.

"Oh my god, Aunty, I'm sorry.. ouch!" You were defending yourself but still, you got hit by her making you groan.

"Please leave this poor soul. Minjee-ah save me.. ouch!" You were running around your living room while she was following you from behind. Minjee was standing in the middle of the room watching you two running like Tom and Jerry which made her laugh.

After a few minutes, you two were sitting on the sofa tired and breathing heavily.

"I'm going to cook. Just give me some minutes." You said earning a nod from her. You stood up and walked inside the kitchen followed by Minjee.

"Minjee, I think I should meet Chanyeol-shi for getting a job as soon as possible." You spoke when you two entered the kitchen.

"But why do you need to meet him? You can try searching for it by yourself too." She asked.

"I can but I don't really have much time for it. And I have to pay the rent before this month ends." You answered with a sigh and sat on your kitchen island with tomato in your hand.

"I see, but how are you going to meet him though? Your phone is damaged after all." You flicked her arm when you heard her question.

"You are really dumb. I have my phone's sim card and I can use it in my old phone." You spoke and took a bite of tomato.

"Ohh.. yeah! But I won't let you meet him alone." She sounded serious making you nod.

"Who said I'm going alone?" You paused a little to swallow the piece of tomato which you were eating.

"You are coming with me." You gave your innocent smile to her which made her scoff at you.

"What!? No way." She denied crossing her arms on her chest.

"Your 'no' won't change my mind." You rolled your eyes at her and took another bite of tomato.

"But what about Aunty?" She questioned whereas you frowned at her question.

"What about Aunty-"

"Ohh.. what about Aunty, I'm understanding everything." Your aunt cut off your words while walking inside the kitchen making you immediately jump off the kitchen island.

She suspiciously eyed you two and questioned, "What's going on here?"

You clasped her arm with yours making her look at you in confusion.

"Haha... I mean what to make of Aunty." You widened your eyes at your spoken words and cracked a nervous laugh before speaking,

"I mean what to make for breakfast. After all, you need the energy to beat me."

You instantly unclasped your arm and ran away from there making your aunt shout at you in disbelief.

''Yahh.. you crazy girl, come back here right now."

At the KIM EMIRATES,

Taehyung was striding confidently with his intimidating aura inside the KIM EMIRATES, surrounded by armed security and followed closely by Jungkook.

He was going directly in the direction of his office ignoring every greeting of his workers but soon he stopped when one of his employees came in front of him with his head down.

"KTH, the document which you needed for the meeting is ready." He extended his hand making Taehyung take the file from his hand. He gazed into the document papers scanning every detail of it.

"Before showing it to me, you should have checked it out. You're fired."

He simply stated and threw the file on his face making the person widen his eyes in shock.

''W..what?" But before he could beg for his mistake, Taehyung was already passed by his side.

Taehyung stood near the elevator but halted on his steps when he heard the loud sound of someone sobbings. He turned back and saw the same employee whom he had just fired.

He then averted his gaze to the other employees when he heard whispers about him. He balled his fist in anger when he saw them not minding their businesses.

"BACK TO YOUR WORKS NOW!"

His thunderous growling sent shivers down their spines making every single person present in the hall to get back to their work immediately.

"Security, throw him out."

Just when his voice reached his security guards, they immediately nodded and walked in front of the poor man who was begging Taehyung to let him work.

"After this, I hope you all must be known by now that the lack of diligence is not accepted here. Am I clear?"

He threatened in his dangerous cold voice which made everyone nod their head in response. He turned back and walked away along with Jungkook.

When he entered his office, he took out his coat and threw it on the sofa. He took his seat on his swivel chair sitting like a king.

"Brother, the Busan building project has been approved by officials and I expect the commencement certificate will be given to us soon."

He informed with a proud look on his face which made Taehyung nod. Jungkook took the seat on the chair which was present opposite Taehyung's swivel chair.

Taehyung's office phone rang which he took and placed on his ears.

"Sir, the meeting is in 15 minutes." His secretary reminded him through the phone.

"I want everything to be perfect." He dictated and cut the call. His gaze landed on his brother who seemed to be lost.

"What happened to you, Jungkook?" He asked observing his facial expression. Jungkook looked at him when he heard his voice.

"Actually, Mr Chang-ho stopped the photo shoot saying that if we don't do the balance payment, he will not let the shoot happen."

Jungkook took a pause and leaned on his chair while a chuckle left his mouth which made Taehyung frown at him.

"You know what he was also threatening that he will spoil our company's name in the industry."

"But you don't need to worry about it. I'll handle him." He assured him not knowing that something cunning was going on inside his brother's brain.

Taehyung immediately dialled his secretary's number and ordered,

"Cancel the meeting and rescheduled it for tomorrow."

He cut the call not waiting for his secretary's response. He then averted his gaze and looked at Jungkook who had a deep frown on his face.

"What was the name?" He questioned him with his raised brow.

"Shin Chang-ho,"

"Whatever. He's a middle-class and middle-class people always speak above their stations of life."

He commented while fury was visible in his eyes.

"Let's go." He stood up from his seat and walked towards the sofa taking his coat to wear it.

Jungkook smiled smugly and spoke, "No one can save him now." With that, he also followed him.

"Jisoo, where are you taking me in this early morning?" Mrs Jeon asked with a yawn. They were sitting inside the car going somewhere.

"Aunt, it's 11 pm and you are still sleepy." She spoke in disbelief.

"I won't get my peaceful sleep after your grandmother will arrive here." She replied with a sad pout and closed her eyes thinking to take a nap which made Jisoo softly chuckle.

''We are going to get a solution for our Tae's problem." She voiced out making Mrs Jeon open her eyes at an instant to look at her frowning.

"Ohh.. what problem does he have now?" asked Mrs Jeon.

"Just wait, you'll get it soon." She replied with a small smile which made her frown more at her. She shrugged not giving much thought to it and finally decided to glance outside the mirror but the view of the outside made her confused as hell so she turned to look at Jisoo.

"But Jisoo don't you think we are going in the wrong direction? I mean Taehyung's solution in middle-class people area, that's like impossible." She enquired and chuckled to herself making Jisoo crack a smile too.

"I'm taking you to the right place, aunty. And I'm taking you there so that you can keep my courage up." She answered which made Mrs Jeon panic.

"Courage? Do we have to leap off a hilltop?" Her question made Jisoo laugh a little.

"Oh my god, of course not." She voiced out and leaned on the seat to look outside.

Mrs Jeon suspiciously gazed at her and commented,

"You know Jisoo, your talk is like a long suspense story."

Meanwhile

Taehyung and Jungkook reached the studio of Chang-ho and were furiously walking inside with long steps. He stopped in his tracks when he found the models were standing in the corner while Chang-ho was sitting in the middle of the studio hall as if he was waiting for his arrival.

"Finally, you are here, KTH." Chang-ho smirked when he found Taehyung gazing at him.

He stood up from his place and walked to him standing in front of him face to face.

"In this industry, I have shown many people their real place, Mr Kim Taehyung and now you are daring to mess with me." He arrogantly stated not knowing what can be the consequences of his spoken words.

"The height on which I stand cannot reach the sound of dogs barking." Taehyung retorted insulting him with a proud smirk which made the other person furious.

"Dogs? You are calling me a dog.. Well, then I'll bite and show you your real status Mr Kim Taehyung. You should have told me beforehand that you cannot work without a discount." He mockingly told with a smug look on his face. Taehyung was just watching him being amused.

"Now, listen to me, I will not start the shoot until I get my balance payment. I don't care whether you cry or beg or call your mother--"

Taehyung slapped him hard on his left cheek making him turn to his left side with a sting pain on his cheek. Everyone present there had their mouth open in shock. He touched the cheek where Taehyung slapped him and angrily glared at him shooting daggers at his eyes. Holding his cheek he started ranting again.

"You just slapped me? You slapped Chang-ho. This slap will cost you a lot KTH."

"You know what, I will get you blacklisted from this industry. This slap cost is 100 million won. Now, I won't let this shoot resume because I'm cancelling it right now. I will kick you out of this industry world and you won't be able to shoot here and--"

Taehyung didn't deter instead he slapped him again on the same cheek but this time with more force and the sound of the slap echoed in the studio making everyone gasp in fear.

"Jungkook, give him the cheque of 300 million won. 100 million for the payment and 200 million for two slaps." Chang-ho greedily smiled in bemusement whereas Taehyung smirked in victory seeing his expression.

He took a step forward towering over Chan-ho whereas Chang-ho quickly covered his both cheeks with his hands feared of getting slapped by him again which made Taehyung crack a chuckle.

"Now the shoot won't stop at any cost."

Chang-ho immediately nodded agreeing to his command. He straightened up with a satisfied air and wore his shades in one smooth movement making every single person drool over him.

He was about to go but stopped and again his deep husky lethally arrogant voice spoke more like a warning to him which sent shivers of fear to Chan-ho's body.

"Think thrice before you dare to mess with me, the Kim Taehyung.."
