The sudden appearance of the man similar-looking to whom her daughter has shared her feelings with returned into her life, his rageful words ranged in her eardrums and so she passed out. Sensing the grave tension in the environment Seora's mother didn't spare a chance to let this matter go out of hand, after all, she is a doctor and she knows what her daughter needs the most at this moment.

"I'm sorry on behalf of the commotion my daughter has caused but please can you help, carry her to my cabin?" Mrs. Lee got worried seeing her daughter like this, she couldn't help but ask for help from a 'stranger', a dangerous stranger.

Her words pulled Jungkook out of his trance from gazing at the woman unconscious in his arms, he glanced towards the doctor and slowly nodded whilst staring at the girl's pale face, still radiating beauty, wondering if he ever met her. There's no chance he even saw her, how can she claim him as her boyfriend?

Certainly this woman wasn't aware of the fire she's playing with, knowing or unknowingly, the fire that's capable of turning her fragile self to ashes.

"She's pretty, isn't she?" Jimin wriggled his brows, whispering in Taehyung's ears, his worldwide flirtatious attitude never taking a break.

"Yeah, she is extremely pretty." Taehyung replied back, displaying a cheeky smile seeing the rare sight in front, without looking at Jimin. Soon he realised what he said and snapped back at the man now smirking.

"Yah! Jimin! Stop with that flirting, she's sick." He whisper-yelled towards the flirty man, who made a fake pout but soon his lips curved into a smirk, an amazing idea glowing up in his head.

"Jungkook, let me carry her. I'll take care of this matter." Jimin offered to give a 'helping-hand' but the younger knew this guy's flirty attitude very well and there's no way he's just going to 'help' and so, the ravenette effortlessly picked the unconscious lady into his arms straight away ignoring Jimin making everyone taken aback by his sudden alien, not-like-Jungkook actions.

"Where's your cabin?" Jungkook asked the elder lady, his voice as cold as ever and she directed them towards the room. Meanwhile these two dorks continued with their bickering.

"Have we ever seen Jungkook with a girl?" Taehyung elbowed Jimin astounded by what he just witnessed.

"No, this will probably be the eighth wonder of the world." Jimin agreed, placing his hands in his pockets looking at their boss until his silhouette faded away with the woman in his arms.

"I'm creating a ship, you joining in?" The man whispered towards Jimin earning a lopsided scoff from him.

"Somebody just said she's sick and now shamelessly shipping her with our Boss?"

"I just got an inner call from my inner-cupid." He shrugged giving an explanation, which didn't really sound plausible to the younger.

Amongst their bickering they forgot there's someone else listening to their useless gossip and she rolled her eyes annoyed at the two huffing folding her arms towards her chest and shouted at them.

"If you two are done bickering then scram!" Suddenly the voice of the girl echoed who said savagely towards the two dangerous men, now flustered by what they heard that too from a little girl. Not an ounce of fear was visible on her face, even though she knew whom she's talking to.

That's when Taehyung noticed that girl, most probably Seora's sister, was glaring towards his best friend. Looking at the flustered expression on Jimin's face he was certain there's something going on between these two.

"Interesting." He murmured, the corner of his lips curving into a smirk.

"What did you say?" Jimin's expressions stiffened looking at Suji and her eyes portrayed annoyance towards the man. They both were looking like an enraged cat and dog ready to have a verbal fight.

"I said S.C.R.A.M you shorty!" She insulted the man four inches taller than him, making him widen his eyes amusement. The balls she had to insult him, succeeded in amusing Taehyung. He was enjoying the drama, the smirk never leaving his face.

"S-shorty?" He stuttered flustered by her savageness and Suji didn't care to speak any further and walked from between them, purposely bumping into Jimin's shoulder, her long hair brushed on his face and he closed his eyes for a mini second sniffing the aromatic scent of her wavy hair. An unknown red tint made its way on his cheeks, which didn't go unnoticed by the elder standing not so far away from the two.

"Time to make another ship." He whispered to himself, his inner cupid working his best today and they walked towards the lounge area waiting for their boss to return back.

Meanwhile, Jungkook placed the beautiful woman's unconscious body on the small bed and sat on the stool near her. Mrs. Lee was busy preparing the injection for her daughter and so she didn't spare a glance at the younger guy.

Seora's just a stranger to him, he's aware of that, but something inside him is stopping him to leave her. She twitched her brows in her sleep as if she's in pain, he felt a sudden pang of guilt of how harsh he must've sounded right now on a mentally sick person. His sudden urge to caress her cheek and feel her warmth was stopped by the fact that he recently got to know.

Why was he suddenly feeling guilty? It's not like she's in this state because of him. He couldn't help but stare at her peaceful figure. Her face, so serene, like a swan in his darkness.

Just a few moments ago he saw the pale figure of his mother, just like hers and certainly, he didn't wished to come across another person who'll remind him of the person so close to his heart, it pains him to remember how much his mother must be suffering at this moment just because he was incapable of protecting her. He closed his eyes for a mini-second and let out a deep breath.

Funny, to think that the man feared by the world, is feared by his past.

"Hope we never cross paths again." He thought to himself and spared her a last glance before swiftly getting out of the room, without looking back and trying to forget what happened just now.

It was just a misunderstanding, nothing more and nothing less than that.

----

Making his way from the lobby, Jungkook swiftly made his way towards the meeting room, surrounded by a bunch of well built men. His presence was enough to send shivers down everyone's spine.

Who won't be scared of the man who murdered the most important member of Black Swans without any remorse? They all heard Mr. Kim's horrendous screams when he was tortured and burnt alive, an important lesson for all of them to have an understanding that their boss doesn't leave traitors alive- he gives them a ride to hell.

Who knows, one wrong move by them and they can be the next one to be slaughtered?

That's the terror Jeon Jungkook had created amongst his people.

Everyone stood up and bowed towards him as soon as he stepped foot in here and they took their seats when he took his place, like a king he is, at the centre of the room. Soon, the meeting started and everyone's eyes were set on the screen. Taehyung stood up fixing his custom, tailor-made Italian brown blazer and explained the information related to 'Heaven'.

"As you all might have known we are gathered here to discuss 'heaven' and this is all the information I've got on." Taehyung started the presentation with all the important confidential documents.

"Heaven, as we all know, consists of money, gold, valuable assets and property papers worth 4 trillion dollars, but its location is still a mystery. According to the information collected, the safe of heaven is tightly secured with world class lockers, consisting of retina and hand impression of the late Mr. Jeon and biometric systems. There is a possibility of more safety systems present there which aren't mentioned in the confidential files." A gasp of shock left from everyone's mouth while Jungkook had the same cold and stoic expression plastered on his sculpted face, his hand busy swindling the pen around its fingers.

"We can ask Yoongi hyung to open the safe, once we find it." Hoeseok, the head of planning team, expressed his idea, making all the heads turn towards him.

Yoongi sat at the extreme right corner of the room and he appeared to be an intimidating man, just like his boss, a huge scar near his left elongated till his nose region was evident on his porcelain skin but it didn't compromise with how devilishly gorgeous he appeared.

"Well, I've studied the system of the safe and as far as I can see, it is practically impossible for my team to hack and open up the safe, it's that securely built. We may open up a thing or two but not the whole safe. In my opinion, the person who created it can only open it." Yoongi, the head of the hacking and informatics team uttered huffing out a breath scratching his brow, annoyed, making everyone roll his eyes on his idea.

"We all are aware that the people who built the safe were murdered so that no information related to it can leak out. It ain't like their ghost will come and open it up, suggest some reasonable idea, Yoongi." Seokjin, the head of HR, scoffed at the younger's useless idea.

"Also, we don't have Mr. Jeon's thumb or retina impressions." Reika joined their discussion, sternly speaking facts. The only woman amongst these gangsters, she was no less. Surprisingly, the most feared killer in the gang after their boss.

Jungkook still didn't utter a word, it was as if he was in deep thoughts studying and analysing the papers, the pen swiftly moving around his fingers.

"Before thinking about opening the safe, we should worry more about locating it." Jimin muttered nonchalantly and everyone else nodded in agreement but no one had an answer towards the question.

"We've scoured through the files and computer resources from the starting of the company but the location of Heaven was kept more secretive than how it's built, no information related to it could be found." Taehyung shook his head, disappointingly.

"Well, there's one person who can locate and open up the safe." Yoongi smirked, eyeing Seokjin as if mocking the elder for the lack of information.

"Who can that be?" Jimin asked, raising his brow, his hands holding a bottle of water. He chugged in a gulp of water and his cheeks pumped up like a mochi.

The hacker swiftly connected his computer system with the projector and slowly a picture of a girl was getting displayed on screen. From her brown orbs to the sharp pointed nose, honey kissed skin, long wavy brownish hair and soft plump lips, invited almost every male in the room to devour her, just by looking at her picture.

Jimin choked on the water he was drinking, as soon as he recognized the lady and Taehyung soon, patted his back in order to help the male.

"Who's that chick?" Namjoon, the consigliere, licked his lips intently gazing at the lady. If she was in front of him, he would've ravaged her.

Jungkook was caught in a daze when he looked at her picture but the comment made by the elder muscular man didn't please the young boss, his eyes darkened and the pen in his hand was thrown aimed towards the consigliere but thanks to his skills, he caught it before the pointed nib blinded him.

"You should have a filter on your words hyung, especially with women." The enraged man spoke displaying the coldest glare towards the elder. One thing Jeon Jungkook was infamous for apart from being a ruthless monster in the underworld and a business tycoon in the media, was his respect for women.

But it won't be a great surprise when his respect would turn into wrath if he catches a traitor- be it a man or a woman.

"Sure, gentleman." Namjoon portrayed a playful grin, obviously mocking the younger, which he didn't mind much as these people were like his brothers, some playful words by them didn't make him furious.

"Isn't she the girl we saw at the hospital?" Jimin whispered in Taehyung's ear and he nodded in agreement.

"What about her?" Jungkook questioned the hacker and he continued further leaving everyone stupefied by the information.

"Seora Lee, she's the key to heaven. She's the owner of 'digital safe' and the person who created the most secure safe in the world for Heaven."

There was a sudden silence in the room, Jimin and Taehyung were left amazed while Jungkook had an unreadable expression on his face.

"Isn't everyone related to the creation of heaven killed?" Reika questioned placing her hands on her chest.

"She's the sole and fortunately, the most important survivor." Yoongi answered.

"But there's a problem..." He placed his hand on his chin and took in a deep breath continuing further.

"She witnessed a terrible accident of her long term boyfriend Kang Jaechan, he died on the spot leaving the girl in splits. According to her hospital records, she's been suffering from amnesia since the past three years. There's a possibility she might not remember anything related to Heaven."

"What a dramatic story! She's basically of no use in that case." Hoseok muttered scoffing, disinterested in dramatic stuff such as this.

Jungkook was lost in his thoughts, his mind was again and again playing the scene of Seora who passed out in his arms. Her body felt so cold and her face was so pale.

"Uh-eh. Jungkook, you should have a look at her boyfriend." Yoongi shook his head in denial and nudged the younger to look at the picture of a male, the guy who looked the exact copy of his.

"Kang Jaechan, that's him." Yoongi said, leaving the others' jaws drop.

From the look of his face, he appeared to be a joyful person, his bunny teeth on display.

"Holy shit! Jungkook, is that you?!" Namjoon lost his composure, his eyes widened and asked the younger man, earning a cold expression from him.

"He.. Looks like a carbon copy of our boss, but there's no way they're the same person. Jungkook has never smiled that joyfully." Seokjin joined the conversation and the others nodded in agreement.

"No wonder she hugged Jungkook as if her life depends on it." Taehyung muttered audibly enough for everyone. They glanced at him perplexed.

"What did you say?" Reika spoke boring her darkened eyes towards the male, it was as if she was against it. She didn't like what he just said.

"Long story short, we saw her at the hospital and she created quite a scene there." Jimin explained and Reika rolled her eyes. Taehyung noticed the female's jealousy. He was aware of the fact that she has feelings for Jungkook.

"She'll be of great use." The boss spoke gaining everyone's attention, by his stern expression it was clear to everyone that he had planned something, his eyes only looking at the picture of Seora and the corner of his lips soon turned into a smirk.
