Third Person POV

Namjoon chuckled as he heard this request. "Quite nice of you to shoot your shot but unfortunately, no"

"Why?", a word escaped Hyelin's mouth. "My brother needs to know I am alive"

"It doesn't matter if its your brother. We cannot let you directly contact anyone"

"I am here risking everything to join you. My brother is young. He is a high school student. I need to make sure he is okay. And If you are worried that I might say something unnecessary to him, I don't mind talking on speaker in front of you all"

Namjoon pondered a minute but he still didn't want to agree.

"Please", a muted word left Hyelin's mouth. They seemed rather sincere. She actually wanted to make sure that Daniel was okay. It had been more than ten days since she had left him alone.

Jin who was looking at this spoke up "okay"

"SeokJin", Namjoon turned to him in disbelief.

"Its okay, let her. Taehyung can watch her when she makes the call", with that he turned to Hyelin who seemed to look relieved. "And you, I shouldn't have to tell you what will happen if you try and act smart. Anything out of line and my brother's finger here might slip on the trigger"

Hyelin nodded. All she had to do was let Daniel know she was alive and she knew the message would reach where she wanted it to.

Sua's POV

I could here murmurs around me. My chest hurt as I tried to breathe. Where was I? What happened.

Oh I got shot. Yup, I remember it.

I opened my eyes slowly as I took in my surroundings. A hospital room. How long had I been out?

Someone was touching my hand. I looked to the side to see a white coat. Seemed like a doctor.

"Its okay, Its okay", they said as they put a hand on my head. I wince as I was injected with something. My conscious became clearer and I could see nurses running around. The door opened and amongst the numerous white coats I saw a black coat.

Was that Suho?

He was coming towards me. But someone stopped him. He was being pushed out of the room. He just hit the male nurse who was pushing him out.

Oops.

Wait, did he get more handsome? Or is it because I just woke up. A smile formed on my face as his face became clear. What a nice thing to wake up to.

Daniel.

Where was Daniel? I panicked but there was nothing I can do right now. Was he safe? Where was he?

Hyelin.

They tried to kill her. Whoever they were. I recalled that black car and the moments right before the bullet hit me.

My head hurt. It became difficult to breathe. I did not want to sleep again but my eyes were closing involuntarily. I tried and kept them open. But I could not. And darkness takes over again.

Queen's POV

It felt weird having someone look at me while I called Daniel. I don't know what Jin was thinking, when he made Taehyung watch me while I made the call. The man was literally sitting with a gun pointed at me.

But I kind of understand them as well. Since I am a Mafia leader too. I mean I wouldn't want one of my prisoners to be blabbering any nonsense on a phone call.

Its hard being this empathetic. I can't even get mad at Namjoon.

"Stop staring and call fast. I don't have the whole day to keep watching you", Taehyung crossed his arms.

I scoffed and he glared at me.

"Don't give me those pissed looks", I shot back, my pride hurt. "I am not afraid of you even the slightest"

He stayed quiet but all of a sudden stood up. Before I could understand what he was doing, he stabbed a danger on the table.

Right in between my fingers.

I yelled as I realized how close it was to my fingers on either side.

"Next time you talk back, the blade won't miss its mark", he replied, face still cold.

"You fucker", I yelled as I removed the dagger. "This is my fucking ring finger", I raised my hand for him to see. "I am not married yet and when I get the ring, I don't want my boyfriend to see a scar on this finger. And it will also ruin my instagram post where I put a picture of the big fat diamond ring and caption it as 'I said yes'. So the next time you ruin my aesthetic is.."

Taehyung was stunned as the woman suddenly climbed the table and bent forward to where he was sitting and stabbed the dagger straight into the chair between his legs.

"You lose something precious to you"

Taehyung looked down to the dagger between his legs, missing inches from possibly injuring his dick. He was furious right now. He removed with force and threw it on the side angrily.

"You will pay for this", he growled.

"Cash, Card, Paypal or Bitcoin?", I shot back.

Taehyung scoffed the loudest he could. The moment this woman had entered the mansion the only thing she had done was get onto each of his nerves. When Namjoon was done using her, he was going to end her and bury her in some mountain where her body could never be found.

I picked up the phone lying on the table and called Daniel's number. Suddenly the phone was snatched from my hand as Taehyung slammed it on the table. "On Speaker"

Fucker. I was hoping he wouldn't do it. Now Daniel please don't fuck up by saying something you shouldn't.

After a few rings he picked.

"Hello"

"Daniel, its me"

After a long pause he spoke. "Noona!? H—"

"Yes its me Sua", I immediately cut him off before he could even try and speak my name. Shit. Shit. I could see Taehyung raise an eyebrow in suspicion.

Daniel seemed to have understood as he shut up. He cleared his throat before he spoke.

"Noona where are you now?"

"I—I have something I need to get done. I will be back soon. I just called because I wanted to let you know I was safe. I hope you are safe too"

"I am Noona but I got scared because some bratz doll looking man came to visit me two days ago. He looked like one of those gang members you see in the movies. I think his name was Park Jimin because I looked him up on google"

I immediately looked up to meet Taehyung's eyes, extremely furious. Namjoon had really crossed a line by getting Daniel involved directly. Taehyung was also taken aback because he didn't know Jimin was sent to do this.

"Daniel the next time some asshole like this comes", I began as I glared at Taehyung, "Kick them in the balls and close the door on their face"

"Really Noona?", he asked from the other side.

"No", I immediately corrected myself. "They'll kill you of course. Don't do it. You are not the badass Jena from the book Mafia on Wattpad. Unlike her immortal ass that survived every wound, you will die. Plus the Jimin in that book fell in the love with her. I don't think this Jimin is falling for you"

(A/N: Queen of self promoting her Mafia books. You see what I did there? 😂)

"Why did you tell me to do it in the first place then? I don't understand sometimes what you want to say—", he yelled.

Suddenly Taehyung picked up the phone and cut it. "Enough with this sibling banter. Your call is done, get back to the room"

I turned back to leave until he stopped me.

"Why did you interrupt your brother in the starting?", he quizzed. "What was he about to say that you didn't want me to hear?"

My eyes widened as I slowly turned back. "When?", I innocently asked.

"When he was about to say something with 'H'. Don't think I didn't hear it"

"Yeah that", I chuckled nervously. After thinking for a moment I came up with the most stupid and random word I could find. "Hoe"

"What?", he shot back.

"Hoe. He was going to call me a Hoe. That is how we greet each other. He was going to say 'Hey Hoe whats up?' but I cut him off because you were listening and I of course didn't want you to think that my brother doesn't respect me at all"

He looked at me blankly. No one in their sane mind would buy this lie but I hoped he would.

"Okay. Go now", he said and put the phone in his pocket.

I was stunned that he believed what I said but to avoid any more suspicion, I turned around and walked away.

Third Person POV

"Wait you stupid giant", Baekhyun yelled as he pulled Chanyeol back by grabbing his jacket. Suho had sent them to make sure Daniel was okay.

"What!?", Chanyeol yelled. "I am just going to the apartment"

Baekhyun jabbed his elbow in the man's waist. "You idiot, are just going to walk in there like its your house? Don't forget that Bangtan sent Jimin to scare Daniel. It means they probably also have an eye on him. We cannot just waltz in there. We have to observe him from afar"

"Okay you make sense", Chanyeol confessed rubbing his aching waist.

"Now Chanyeol sweetie, I am going to need you to put those remaining brain cells together and work with me. Okay?", Baekhyun said sarcastically.

"Whatever. Your height is 5'7 but your attitude is 6'2", Chanyeol rolled his eyes. "You are such a handful"

"And that is why you have two hands", Baekhyun shot back. "Now sit in the car"

They both got into the car. A couple of minutes later Daniel walked down. He was heading to his extra classes. They watched as he kept getting farther away.

"Lets just abandon the car since he is walking, we will just follow him on foot", Chanyeol suggested. Baekhyun nodded and both of them got out. Chanyeol was about to step onto the pavement when Baekhyun pulled him behind the car.

"WHAT NOW!?", the taller yelled in frustration.

"Look there", Baek pointed at two men in black coats who walked behind Daniel at a distance.

"Bangtan's men", Chanyeol gasped.

"Shit", Baekhyun cursed. "These motherfuckers have no chill. Why would they send their henchman to stalk Daniel?"

"Hyelin. She's definitely gotta be alive then", Chanyeol turned to the other. "The way these people are keeping check on Daniel, it means she is alive"

Baekhyun was silent as he thought about something. "Yeol", he said and the younger turned to him nervous. When Baek called him Yeol, he was about to do some crazy shit.

"Lets kidnap Daniel and take him to our mansion"

"WHAT!", Chanyeol gasped.

"Yes. If he is here, he is alone and constantly at the threat of being harmed by Bangtan. Its best we take him along with us"

"But.. but", Chanyeol was out of words. "He has a life. He has to go to school and the extra classes and what not—"

"School. School!? Seriously School!?", Baekhyun shot back. "You are worried he will miss school when there are some assholes from a Mafia on his ass. No biggie right? Just the second deadliest Mafia in Korea has their eyes on him"

"Second?", Chanyeol was confused. "Why second? Who's first then?"

"EXO. YOU IDIOT! WE ARE FIRST", Baekhyun yelled. He was about to say something more until he was cut off.

"I hardly doubt someone would believe we are the deadliest Mafia by looking at you two clowns"

Baekhyun and Chanyeol both turned back to see a very pissed Kyungsoo looking at them. Beside him Daniel stood silently. Chanyeol's eyes traced Kyungsoo's shirt which had splotches of blood and so did the side of his face. Daniel on the other hand looked terrified.

"SatanSoo", Chanyeol was stunned. "What are you doing here? And why is Daniel with you?"

"Xiumin realised Suho sent you two clowns to check on Daniel so he sent me to make things right. So while you guys were busy here spewing absolute nonsense, Daniel there was being chased by Bangtan's men. So I cut in, shot those fuckers and got Daniel out", Kyungsoo just shrugged his shoulders.

"Wait", Baekhyun stood up. "Why were the men chasing you?", he turned to Daniel. "I though they were just sent to keep an eye on you"

"I saw them and I tried to run. They followed. So I hid in an alley. And when one of them found me, I took a beer bottle nearby and cracked it on his head. He was not impressed. That is when they chased me but this time to take revenge. Kyungsoo here stepped in to help"

"Just like Hyelin", Chanyeol chuckled. "Do you know how many men Hyelin has injured by breaking a Soju bottle on the head?"

"No", Daniel replied.

"Well I don't either. But I will find the number for you. I have it written somewhere in my diary. I think its 79 but she says its 100. But everyone in EXO knows Hyelin bluffs a lot..."

"Wait", Daniel stopped him. "EXO!? You guys are EXO!?"

Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Kyungsoo all looked at each other wide eyed. He wasn't supposed to know their identity. Hyelin had specifically mentioned this to the whole group. No matter what happens, Daniel shouldn't know about our business.

"If you are EXO and my sister is part of your group. Is she...", his eyes suddenly widened.

"My sister is the Mafia boss Queen!?"
