"Jeon, meet Minhyuk the new member that recently joined" Yoongi came forward with a tall male who was fairly good looking and with a great aura.

Jeon look up from his laptop and raised his eyebrow at Yoongi and look behind him when he saw the new face.

Lee Minhyuk bowed his head in respect and looks at his boss with an unreadable cold face.

Jeon stare at the new male and glances at Yoongi. "Did you checked his background?" He asks with his low deep voice.

Yoongi hummed and sit on the chair, pulling out the file and handing it to Jungkook who open it and read all the details.

"He's an Orphan. Works with small gangs before and deliver short packets of cocaines here and there, living in a small rented house with two other males after leaving the orphanage at the age of 16, parents died in an accident and other family members couldn't afford to take care of him so the government send him to the orphanage." Yoongi recited all the biography of Minhyuk in front of Jeon who looks up at the newbie and observes his expressions.

"Age?"

"22" Minhyuk replied shortly.

"Why do you want to join out of a sudden? As much as I see your information, you were doing fine with small deliveries and living independently now in an apartment then?" Jeon raised an eyebrow in question.

Minhyuk smirks and pushes his head up. "Done with the small deliveries wants to do something big. Like selling drugs, murders, go on missions, mess with the police department and just all the illegal works that include in the gang" he said calmly, with a smirk that shows his corruption mind and violent thoughts.

Jeon tilted his head. "Why do you want to do it?"

"It excites me. I love to play dangerous and your way of work intrigued me and I want to experience the last-minute death but coming out alive, it's thrilling if you ask me" Minhyuk shrugged as he oh so calmly said and display the passionate smirks that show his darkness inside him.

Yoongi glances at Jeon to see him smirking in interest as he hummed. "Interested," Jeon responds.

"I like your confidence, no fear and no hesitation. That's what interest Jeon, better be same in fighting too" Minhyuk smiles.

"Won't disappoint you, Jeon" Minhyuk said with a deep chuckle when he utters his new boss name.

Jeon turn towards Yoongi and ordered. "Make him go against Sam and tell me the results after, no one is good at fighting better than Sam in my gang. I wanna see how good he is or It's just the long talks that do not amuse Jeon"

Yoongi nods and hummed. "Will do"

"You can go now" Jeon gesture Minhyuk with his finger to stay outside the door.

Minhyuk did after bowing and went outside, Jeon turns to him. "Place triple eyes on him, I wanna know every action and every talk of his. Find anything suspicious, inform me immediately." He orders with a stern tone.

Yoongi nodded in agreement.

"How's the shipping went? Any interruptions?"

"So far there's nothing. Everything went well now the workers are on the way to deliver it. It will reach till Sunday midnight or Monday morning" Yoongi assumes and nods at it.

Jeon hummed in acknowledgement.

Hoseok sighs as he was done with the files and close his eyes, taking off the headphones and turn off his PC.

He stretched his limbs and stands up, grabbing the files and went outside his room going towards Jeon's office room.

Sam went outside to buy them the ice cream and a full meal which he was ordered by none other than his baby who had challenged him in a shooting competition and as whipped as Samin is. He intentionally loses just to see that happy smile of his sunshine and my God that tight hug which he gave him in the excitement that had taken all his breath away but in a good way as he can feel his body against him then contently went to buy the meal.

Afterall, he loves to spoil his baby.

Hoseok was walking in the hallway when he notices the unknown make outside leaning towards the wall opposite to Jeon's office room with folded hands and smoking a cigarette.

He went closer and raised his eyebrow at the tall male and frowned.

"Who are you?" He decided to ask out his confusion.

The latter looks up at the voice and then stays looking at him with eyes raking down all over his body.

Minhyukk smirks and puff out the smoke and push his hands in front of him for a handshake.

"Minhyuk"

"What's yours, babe?" He asks when hoseok kept looking at his stretched out hand.

Hoseok raised his eyebrow and scoffed. "Anything but babe, so mind your boldness and call me Hoseok," he said sassily and pushed Minhyuk's hand then turning around.

"Sassy, I like it" Minhyuk commented and his eyes land on Hoseok's butt when the latter turn around to knock on the office door of Jeon.

Hoseok ignored and went inside the room causing the smoking male to smirk interestingly.

"Well, found someone to have fun with next." He inhales the killing stick in his hand and chuckled excitedly.

"Mhm, it would be so much fun" the male smirked evilly.

Taehyung sighs as he stares down the window of his room, holding the cup of tea in his hands and sipping from it from time to time.

The steam of hot tea warming his tongue and face from the cold wind hitting his face yet he stays there with an open window and wants to bask in the last two days of his freedom.

Taehyung breathes out deeply, looking down at his cup and the tea that was halfway down and roll it in his hand.

"Only two days left, Tae..." he looks up at the sun that was going down giving the soft glow of orange, red and purple, reflecting on his face, brightening it with the orange glow.

"Two days of this beautiful freedom left...living as Kim Taehyung who doesn't fear anyone...the week of your rest and this dream where you're a free soul without any fear of getting caught and caging up into the sea of pain and pain only that is coming to end soon....and after that, you're back to being V...the prostitute, the caged up bird who's wings are stuck and cut off, wiggling in pain and chirping in plead...trying to get away but sees no end of this deep pain surging sea of darkness..."

The words muttered by him and blending in the silence of his room, just like the silence in his heart and soul.

Taehyung is lost, hurt, tired and exhausted from this life that is coming back after giving him the few days of this beautiful scenery of freedom that is going too soon.

He'll no longer be a petal of someone...he won't be hearing that deep but soothing voice of the male who's so innocent and gentle yet the scariest and intimidated.

Taehyung never felt like to hold onto someone this bad, he never gets the urge to grab someone and hide because the only solace he felt is the embrace of Jungkook which he feels so contented and cherishing at.

He feels special, a pet who's getting so much attention and affection from his owner yet Jungkook felt like the person that is not the owner but the mutual partner of his emotions and comfort.

His solace, his comfort in gloomy moments...his that special someone whom he wants to hide behind whenever the fate comes with the worse days of his life to protect himself.

Jungkook is becoming that wall of his life which is protecting the weak and vulnerable inner self that he didn't let out in front of anyone, even Jungkook has yet to see that inner child inside of him that is just bundled into a ball of bubble and protecting itself from the harsh and vicious world.

Yet Jungkook manages to reach to that bundle without even knowing and slowly shaking him from his place and smiling at it, comforting that vulnerable insides that are slowly opening up and giving the delicate hand to pull him out of that bubble of protection.

Jungkook had managed to go so deep in his emotions that Taehyung feels like crying at the thought of letting that source of comfort go so early, he was just getting used to this and now he already had to let go.

Unknown to him the lonely tear left from his eyes and slides down to his chin.

Taehyung was slowly giving up...the hope, the days and the comfort he got which manage to make his caged up protected heart open had made the delicacy to come out and made him more than sensitive he already was.

Everything is messed up in his life and Taehyung couldn't take more and wants to get away from this darkness of ocean his vulnerable insides are trembling from－in fear and in despair.

The male stands there cried out and shut his eyes tightly to contain the managing feelings his outer self is tired of holding onto alone all these years just to protect his inner sides.

He badly needs those arms back and that warmth of protection and belonging that tells him he's normal and assured him, it's ok, life is not that easy and he can go through this just like he's doing for all these years.

He needs assurance but right now no one is there to hold him...

...he's all alone.

Jungkook was in the club sipping his drinks with knitted eyebrows as he saw his petal dance on the stage.

Everything seems normal from outside, his petal looks as breathtaking as before maybe more but it still doesn't settle right with him.

His eyes that are as always seductive and alluring were hiding something behind it, sure he was damn in shock when he first saw Taehyung who was extra ready as before as per his request to get ready for him.

Jungkook was awestruck the moment Taehyung revealed on the stage with that aura that had Jungkook feeling something something in his heart and causing it to beat like a broken heart machine.

But just as he was enjoying the special show it dawned upon him something is not right with Taehyung. The latter acts the same but Jungkook can feel it, his instincts that were kept alarming him that his petal is not okay and needed assistance.

Jungkook was determined to send soothing gestures and smiles at Taehyung who somehow felt so much relief and warmth just from afar and has taken a deep breath and send a reassuring smile back to the mafia.

Jungkook kept observing him, the eyes that were red not because of the powder this time, the little bit swellness around his eyes not because of the stickers of sparkles, the lips which were coated with gloss was hiding a redness of biting, the red nose that doesn't look like the tint has been applied.

Everything leads to one thing and that was...his petal had cried.

And Jungkook swore to torture the cause of those precious tears of his petal and find the reason behind it.

Just as the dance ended, Taehyung sends a short glance at Jungkook to see the worrisome and questioning eyes of the latter.

Taehyung smiles in disbelief but also in amazement.

Jungkook always manages to see through his lies and acts and he doesn't know how to cope up with this information.

Jungkook had hurriedly gone to the hotel and on his way to it, he had stopped at the shop and went out.

Coming out with the box of sweets which consist of doughnuts, cakes, pastries and chocolates.

As his petal is sad and the mafia wanted to cheer him up, this is the thing he learned today that sweets always bring the mood up and Jungkook thought of trying this today to check if it works or not.

He can ignore healthy foods routine just for today and spoil his petal with junk food and sweets then make it up the other days by not letting him eat any sweets to manage his health balance.

Today he had to do everything in order to cheer up his petal who looks like he cried which had Jungkook feelings so distress and just wants to hold his pup in his arms and telling him he's here and will always be here for him no matter what.

When he reaches the hotel room Taehyung was already there and waiting inside the room sitting on the bed.

He looks up with his eyes now visibly swollen and red as there was no makeup to hide anything and he can see everything clearly.

Jungkook places the shopper on the table and walks towards Taehyung who was smiling a little and grab his hand pulling him on his feet and wrapped up his delicate body under his arms tightly while burying his face in Taehyung's neck.

Taehyung gasp at the sudden warmth and his eyes widens a bit when Jungkook tighten his arms on his waist and nuzzle into his neck softly murmuring.

"It's ok, petal. I'm here..." his voice was so soothing and assuring, filled with intense worry but warmness was still present that it touches the certain emotionally vulnerable male who was in need of just－just those words.

...and Taehyung broke his strong wall and melted in the embrace he longed since the evening.
