Hello. I am back with another chapter. I'm breaking this chapter up into two parts, so there won't be a voting section for this chapter. I decided to split this chapter up, so that it wouldn't be that long. I still hope that you enjoy this chapter. With that said, let's get into it, shall we?

In the end, the group chose to meet up with the head. They had sent a message to the others waiting at SVT's hideout, letting them know that they should go to the mafia's hideout. The ones that stayed behind stood near the entrance and watched as the ones who went on the mission pull in. As they arrive, group gets out of their vehicles and Mingyu hauls Donghyuk from the back. "Ooooo, looks like you guys kicked some ass," Seungkwan states. Seokmin grins and nods his head, high fiving his companion. The non-mafia members stare at the mafia's hideout. The place isn't fancy. There's graffiti all over the wall and paint chips from the corners of the building. It's nothing more than a crappy, old garage. "This is where the mafia is?" Jin questions, "Looks like a dump."

"Your place is a dump. Don't comment before you've seen the inside," Jimin says with a huff, extremely defensive over the place.

"Should we really be bringing civvies down there?" Jeonghan asks. The civilians look to the mafiosos with nervous expressions. They feel off, considering how close they are to the lion's den. "We have to. They're a part of this too," Namjoon says, "I'll explain to grandfather if he has an issue with it."

"He shouldn't, cause these guys won't talk," Jimin says, glancing at the others, "Right?" The boys all nod their heads urgently, not wanting to know what would happen to them if they ever uttered something about the mafia. "Great, that's settled then," Seungcheol says, "Stick close to us when we get in there. There's going to be a lot of people and commotion."

"Fine by me," Hoseok says.

"Alright, ready to meet the mafia?" Namjoon asks rhetorically as they head down the garage. The farther they go, the darker it gets. The civilians walk blindly, following the mafiosos. They keep going until they see a single light bulb above what seems to be a car lift. The entire group piles into the car lift and Jihoon pushes a button on the side. The lift whines and clacks as it starts to move upward. Hoseok's face turns white and Taehyung does his best to comfort his cousin. Soon enough, the lift comes to a stop. The group all pile out and start walking once more down a hallway that is still in terrible condition. As they make their way down the hallway, the surroundings change. There's more lighting and the carpet becomes fresh. The paint on the walls are a vibrant mahogany and the air smells like cinnamon. "What the hell..." Jin murmurs under his breath.

"This is so cool!" Jungkook whispers.

Yoongi looks around in intrigue and agrees with the younger, "Yeah...cool." The group comes to a stop in front of double doors and two guards keeping watch. "S.Coups, sir," One of the guards says before bowing, "We were expecting you."

"Good. We have Kim Donghyuk with us. The second in command of the RAGE and a traitor to the mafia. Mingyu will bring him down to the holding cells and please have someone inform the head that the one who has threatened his daughter is in our hands," Seungcheol states. The guards nod and clicks on his comms, reiterating the gang leader's words. The guard gestures to the other and the two open the door simultaneously. The entire group are met with loads of people running back and forth. The area inside is huge and beyond extravagant. The room has dim lights that give the room covered in velvet and silk a look of sophistication. The only thing destroying the look would be the massive amount of people chattering away and carrying weapons galore. "This is..." Jin starts.

"War," Jimin says, "I always imagined it would look like this. I've never seen it in front of my eyes before."

"That's cause we haven't gone to war in ages," Seungcheol states, before turning to Mingyu and signaling for him to take their captive to the cell. Hoshi and Wonwoo follow their friend, helping him lug the man. "I know you said that the mafia is extensive, but this is crazy," Taehyung says to Jimin. The man talks at a normal volume, everyone too busy to focus on the group that just walked through the doors. "Through marriage, adoption, and relations the mafia has connections with basically every single gang in South Korea and around the world," Namjoon says, "Want us to introduce you to some of our family?"

"Is that okay?" Jungkook asks.

"Sure, why wouldn't it be?" Jimin questions.

"Shouldn't we be meeting with your grandfather?" Hoseok asks.

"The head will meet with us when he is ready. Judging by the fact that I can spot my father, grandfather is not ready," Jihoon says.

"Okay, then, introduce us to some mafiosos," Yoongi states. The group walk forward, some members of SVT drifting off to speak to some of their friends as they move. "Grandfather's oldest son is married to someone from the Kang family. Their kids are those three," Namjoon says, gesturing to his cousins.

"Question, I thought Seungcheol was the leader," Jin says, "Shouldn't it be given to Jihoon?"

Jihoon huffs and rolls his eyes, "I am also the leader. I lead this group with equal power."

"Yup, we both wear the pants in this relationship," Seungcheol says, scrunching up his nose and shoving his face close to the younger. Jihoon scoffs and pushes the other's face using his hand. Seungcheol whines at the action and pouts, "Jihoonie!"

"Relationship? Are they?" Taehyung whispers to Jimin, who nods his head in confirmation.

"Any who, Seungcheol is a Choi and speaking of his family..." Jimin says. The group come up to four men lounging around nonchalantly. "Minki hyung!" Vernon exclaims.

Minki turns and grins, "If it isn't my favorite little brother!"

"This is NU'EST," Namjoon says, "Minki is a Choi and just so happens to be Cheol and Vernon's brother."

"Civvies?" Minki questions, eyeing the five men standing to the side, "It's been years since we've seen the Kim brothers and you've brought civvies with you the first day back?"

"They have their own demons with the RAGE," Jimin answers, "Is Minho here?"

"Of course," Minki answers, "Speaking with his boyfriend at the moment."

"You really have to stop calling him his boyfriend. Hyung, might actually punch you one day," Seungcheol says with a shake of his head.

"He's just too much of a whimp to reveal it. I have eyes. I know when people are together," Minki huffs. Vernon laughs and pushes himself on top of the table that NU'EST is gathered around. "Hey, Coups, if you see Minhyun, can you tell him to come back here," JR says, "He left to go talk to Ong and never came back." Seungcheol nods his head and gestures for the group to keep moving. "My head's spinning," Yoongi huffs, "Too much human interaction."

"I'm bad enough at names as it is," Taehyung huffs.

"I'll help you study!" Jungkook exclaims, his eyes shining as he looks around.

Hoseok chuckles, "I'd keep an eye on this one, Jin hyung. Or else you'll lose him to the mafia." Jin's eyes bug out of his head and he pulls Jungkook close to his side. "Minhyun!" Seungcheol calls out as they approach a group of eleven. A handsome man turns at the sound of his name being called. "JR's looking for you," Seungcheol states. Minhyun's eyes widen and he nods, running off towards where they had just been before. "This is the Kang family's gang. Led by Daniel," Namjoon says. Jihoon walks over to Daniel and taps on his shoulder. The young man lights up at the sight of the small gangster and wraps him in a tight hug. "Anything special about these eleven?" Jin asks.

Jimin nods, "What isn't special about them? This group has relationships to the Baes, Parks, Lees, and Kims. Jinyoung is the son of the Bae family. Daewhi was adopted by our great-aunt's family. Jaehwan is our uncle's adopted son. Jihoon and Woojin are cousins of the Park family."

"Are you treating my little cousin right, Choi?" Daniel asks, staring at Seungcheol.

Jihoon glares at the other, "You just called me little."

"Of course," Seungcheol says, looking at the shorter young man beside him. The mafioso has a scowl on his face as he continues to flash Daniel a death glare. "Good, don't give me a reason to beat you up," Daniel states, ignoring Jihoon's look.

Jihoon rolls his eyes and starts to walk away, "We're done here." The others follow the man as he stomps away. "Is he butt hurt cause Daniel called him short?" Hoseok asks in a quiet voice.

"Yup," Namjoon answers. He looks around for any other faces he can recognize as they move. "Wonho!" Namjoon exclaims as he spots a muscular man who is going through extra magazines for the guns. The man in question looks up and smiles when he sees Namjoon. "Hey! You're back!" Wonho exclaims.

"Yeah, it's war after all. There's no way Jimin and I would miss this," Namjoon replies.

Wonho nods his head, "It's nuts. We haven't been all together like this in a while. Literally everyone is here. My mom's family came!"

"Really?" Namjoon questions.

Wonho nods, "X1, Victon, Up10tion. All here."

"Crazy," Namjoon mutters. Jungkook tugs on Jimin's sleeve and waits for the other to speak. "Wonho is our cousin. He leads Monsta X. He's the son of the head's youngest child. Our uncle is married to someone from the Han family. That family usually stays out of mafia issues unless they must get involved. That's why it's a bit surprising that they're here."

"Oh, by the way, tell Junior to keep his kids in line," Wonho says, "Bam and Yugyeom keep on running around like headless chickens. Hyunjin and Jisung won't stop screaming at each other. The only ones that seem to not be losing it are Itzy."

"I'll let him know," Namjoon says, "You know he hates that nickname."

"That's exactly why I use it," Wonho says with a smirk. Namjoon chuckles and waves as the group moves on. "You know you guys tease each other and act like a real family, except for the part that you all like to play with guns," Jin says with a forced smile. The group keeps moving and only stops as they reach chaos. There's loud screaming and yelling and pure pandemonium. "What the hell is happening?" Yoongi exclaims, "What's with all these kids!?"

"Welcome to the Park family. Our aunt married someone from the Park clan and this family has an affinity for taking in strays. Jinyoung is our cousin. He and Jaebum lead this clan. Jaebum is a Lim and he has connections with the Baes. Jinyoung and JB started taking in younger people and training them," Namjoon explains.

"That still doesn't explain this mess. Shouldn't they be preparing?" Hoseok asks.

"Yes, they should be, but no one's listening," A man says, leaning against the wall. He lets out a chuckle and shakes his head. "Jackson?" Jihoon questions, "Where's Jinyoung and JB?"

"Sucking face somewhere or something," Jackson exclaims, "How the hell am I supposed to know? They just left and told me to babysit the kids!"

"Ah," Namjoon says, looking around for his cousin and his partner. It takes him a minute, but he finds the two hiding behind a shelf of traditional weapons. "Yah, Junior!" Namjoon shouts, "Stop whatever you're doing and control your kids!" Jinyoung groans from behind the shelf and peeks his head out. He looks around and frowns as he sees the chaos that has ensued while he was away. He slowly walks out from his hiding spot, followed by a tall boy with long hair. "Give me a second," Jinyoung says, clearing his throat.

"I'll deal with Yug and Bam," The long-haired male states, turning to go after the two young men playing a game of tag.

"Thank you," Jinyoung says before raising his voice, "Yah! All of you better focus. We have things to do. Must I remind you that we are preparing for war!?" With those words, all the shouts and mess starts to calm down. The kids all go back to work, helping out other mafiosos and lugging weapons to vehicles. Jackson lets out a sigh and runs his hands through his hair, "Park Jinyoung, don't leave me in charge of your freaking kids again!"

"Okay, okay, jeez," Jinyoung says, "Don't be so dramatic."

"Ha, I'm not being dramatic!" Jackson exclaims, "You know Hyunjin had Jisung in a choke hold! Bang Chan was trying to stop them and it wasn't until he threatened Hyunjin with no cuddles, did he let go! It didn't do much though cause only a couple minutes later they were on the floor wrestling!" The man continued to rant to his friend, who only nodded his head in reply. "Itzy and Stray Kids. They'll be the best that the mafia has to offer. They're our future," Jimin says.

"Ow! Hyung!" Bambam yelps as Jaebum drags him over by his ear. He pulls Yugyeom with the other hand, holding the younger's arm in a firm grip. He pushes the two towards where the group stands. "Stop playing around," JB huffs, "You're more experienced than those kids. Act that way, please."

"Fine," Bambam huffs, "I'm gonna go help, Channie," The man stomps off towards a young man with blond hair. "Yugyeom," Namjoon says, "I'm surprised you're here."

"Why?" Yugyeom asks, "Just cause I'm a Kim and your dad is my uncle, doesn't mean that I'm on the RAGE's side. Here is where I belong."

Namjoon nods his head, "I know. I don't know why I assumed you wouldn't be here. The rest of the Kim family is still good. Like they've always been. Like my father once was." The group looks to Namjoon, who has an upset look upon his face. "Don't worry, we'll stop his gang," Jinyoung says, placing his hand on his cousin's shoulder. Namjoon nods and pats Jinyoung's hand. "Are your sisters here?" Jimin asks.

Yugyeom nods and sighs, "They're somewhere. Always somewhere. Being my sisters."

"We're going to go find them," Jimin says, leading the group forward.

"Your cousins from your father's side? Right?" Taehyung asks.

Jimin nods, "The head of the Kim family had three kids. Two sons and one daughter. One of the son's is my father. The other has one child of his own and adopted many, many others. Most of the Kims in the mafia have been adopted by our uncle. Our aunt has always had this thing for strong female warriors. Almost all her children are female either through adoption or blood. Yugyeom is her only son and I guess you can assume how he feels about that." The civilians all nod their head, imagining how the young man could survive with that many sisters. "My, my, if it isn't my lovely cousins," A young woman with long hair says with a smile.

"Hi, Jennie," Namjoon says with a smile and moves closer to give his cousin a hug.

The girl returns the embrace, "It's been too long. I wish it were in better times though."

"I couldn't agree more," Jimin says as he gives his cousin a hug as well, "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?" Jennie asks.

"For being here. It means your sisters are here too and all of the Kims and that means a lot more than you could ever know," Jimin says with a soft smile.

Jennie shakes her head, "You shouldn't thank me. We're all here cause we want to be. Our loyalties have always lied with the mafia. Not to mention, what your dad did was wrong. It doesn't matter if he is a Kim or not. We don't let that type of thing slide." Jimin nods his head, but still flashes his cousin a thankful look. "Hey, guys, the head wants to see us all now," A man says suddenly, appearing beside Jennie.

"Thanks for letting us know, Kibum hyung," Jimin says.

"Are we really meeting the head of the mafia?" Jungkook asks with wide eyes.

"Ah, sorry kid, not you." Kibum says as Jungkook's expression falls, "Don't feel bad. It's a meeting for leaders only. Everyone else is staying outside. Plus, it gives you civvies some more time to practice your skills. I've heard from Wonwoo that you guys have a lot of potential. Especially you." The man points to Jungkook, who beams with pride. "I would go find someone you like and ask them to train you," Kibum says, "Everyone should be pretty willing." The civilians nod their heads and head in separate directions, all looking for someone to help them out. "We should probably head in now," Namjoon says, "Don't want to keep grandfather waiting." The leaders all nod and start to walk towards a set of stairs, which leads to the meeting room where the head sits patiently.

Did you like it? I spent a lot of time building up this network and it's still not as in depth as it could be. There's still a lot of Kpop idols that could be tied in. I really like the mafia network though and I've sort of started formulating a couple stories in my head focused on some of these gangs. Let me know down in the comments if you want to learn more about any certain group and read about their story.
