Author's POV

"I beg your pardon? Is it a form of rudeness to ask you to leave my property?" Saera's voice trembled with barely contained fury, each passing second adding fuel to her simmering anger.

"We're here because our maknae invited us over," Hoseok shot back, his tone becoming increasingly harsh. "If we had known that this kind of attitude awaited us, do you think we would have stepped foot in this apartment?" He glared at her, his words cutting through the tense silence like a knife.

That was the last straw. Saera's fury erupted with a power that left the room charged with heat.

"Then get your damn asses out of here," she hissed, her voice low and commanding. "This is my apartment, and I have every right to adopt whatever attitude I damn well please." She advanced a step, her presence overpowering.

Jungkook, caught in the middle of the clash, tried desperately to mediate, but the effort only earned him icy glares from both sides. Jin and Jimin exchanged uneasy glances, guilt flashing across their faces. They knew they had overstayed their welcome, despite having helped their maknae finish up. Meanwhile, Yoongi, intrigued and somewhat amused, watched the scene unfold. He had never seen this side of Hoseok before.

"Get out." Saera's command hung in the air like a threat.

"We're not begging to stay," Hoseok replied with a biting edge, his anger still raw. Grabbing his coat, he made for the door, his pride not allowing him to back down.

"Even better," Saera scoffed, throwing her own coat onto the couch with a sharp flick.

She turned her gaze to the remaining men, her eyes narrowing in silent challenge. She tilted her head slightly to the side, waiting for them to leave.

Jin, ever the peacemaker, was the first to speak. "Ah, we're leaving. We truly apologize for disturbing your night, Saerassi." He bowed slightly, genuine regret in his eyes. "Please excuse Hoseok. He doesn't usually behave like this, but I suppose something must have irritated him earlier. I'm asking for your forgiveness on his behalf."

Saera's reply was calm, but there was an edge of finality in her voice. "You're older than me, Jinssi. You shouldn't have to apologize." She shrugged dismissively, her tone cool. "But don't think I'll forget how he behaved tonight, no matter what he says or does." She turned to Jungkook. "Tell him that if I see him anywhere, he won't escape the trouble I'll drag him into."

"Noona, please, it's my fault," Jungkook pleaded, his voice tight with regret. But Saera didn't spare him a glance.

"Okay, Jiminah, Yoongiah, let's go." Jin called them.

"Sorry," Jimin whispered before turning and leaving.

"We truly apologize, Saerassi," Yoongi said with sincerity, his voice unusually soft as he stood in front of her. "This won't happen again, I promise."

"I hope so," she responded dryly, her voice laced with cool detachment.

"Jungkook, we'll be waiting for you downstairs," he added before turning and leaving the room.

"Nee, hyung."

With that, the three men exited, leaving Saera, Namjoon, and their maknae behind.

"Noona, I'm sorr-" Jungkook began, but his words were cut off as Saera raised a hand, silencing him.

"Enough, Jungkook. I don't want to hear another word about it. Namjoon, I'm sorry you had to witness this mess," she said, her tone softened by genuine regret as she looked at her friend.

"I'm stopping you right there," Namjoon teased, a grin tugging at his lips. "Am I not part of this messy family too?"

"NAMJOON HYUNG! You're here!" Jungkook exclaimed, his face lighting up with excitement.

"Aigu, aigu," Namjoon teased playfully, pulling Jungkook into a bear hug. "Our Kookie's all grown up and well-built, huh? Come here, my boy!" He exaggerated his admiration, causing Jungkook to smile shyly.

"His pictures are everywhere, and thousands of girls are drooling over his handsome face," Namjoon added with a wink.

Jungkook, somewhat flustered but grateful for the distraction, hesitated for a moment before stepping into the hug. They pulled apart, and Namjoon affectionately ruffled his hair.

"What? Why didn't you tell me you knew their band?" Saera asked, her voice tinged with betrayal.

"Do you think I'm an old fossil like you? I'm a composer, remember?" Namjoon quipped, his teasing tone light but with a hint of pride.

"Ah, right, I almost forgot."

"So how are you doing, Jungkook? And how is it that you're with these men in the same band? They're so much older than you," Namjoon asked softly, his curiosity piqued by their relationship with Hoseok.

After all, Namjoon and Hoseok had known each other for a long time, which explained their earlier odd stares. But How?

Jungkook leaned back, finally relaxed, and began to explain, taking a square bar of chocolate from the table and biting into it. "We were hired by the same agency, BigHit. We were trainees at different times, but we ended up together because they trained for one or two years, while I trained for just six months. That's how we got stuck together."

"I see." Namjoon's voice dropped to a low, almost warning tone. "Be careful with them."

Saera and Jungkook exchanged curious glances. "Are you talking about mafia gangs, Namjoonssi?" Saera asked, her voice a mix of confusion and amusement.

"No, something even more dangerous," Namjoon responded, his voice flat and serious. "The largest, most infamous mafia gang in South Korea-and the entire East Asian region." His gaze was intense as he locked eyes with them, underscoring the gravity of his statement.

The room fell silent for a beat before the tension broke with a burst of laughter. Everyone knew that Namjoon had a flair for exaggeration, but they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines at his serious tone.

However, they were unaware that Namjoon's words held more truth than they realized...
