20. Inappropriate questions
Taehyung's POV
I intently observed Sua as all of us sat on the dinner table. She seemed to have sensed it as she looked up to meet my eyes. Both of us stared at each other for a moment before she scoffed.
"I understand pretty women like me are hard
to find but can you please stop staring all the time"
The entire table stopped eating as they looked at her and then at me. I just rolled my eyes and looked away.
"Even a blind man can tell you aren't pretty", Jungkook sassed at her.
"Shut up virgin king Junglecock. No one asked you", she shot back at him.
"HEY WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU CALL ME", Jungkook yelled, very offended.
"Junglecock?? Junglebook? Juancock? I don't remember"
"YOU BITCH—"
Both of them stopped bickering as Namjoon cleared his throat. "I like eating in peace. And you should know about this Miss Sua. And Jungkook I don't have to remind you"
She immediately turned silent after giving one last glare to Jungkook who just silently gave her a middle finger. It was very evident these two weren't going to get along with each other.
"What do you guys even eat in this house!?", she spoke with a low voice. "Who is in charge of cooking here!? Do they even know how to make food?"
Jin who was sitting beside her and right opposite to me put his fork down as he looked at her, clearly not happy at his food being criticized. "I do. I am the incharge. You got something to say about the food?"
Sua gulped before she started laughing nervously. "No, no. Its delicious", she awkwardly laughed, clearly scared of Jin. I folded my lips inwards to stop myself from laughing. The meek expression on her face was so amusing.
"Love", Namjoon spoke and everyone looked at him and then Jin. Because he was the only one Joon referred to as 'love'. Sua seemed confused but once she realized it was Jin, she looked at him with an amused expression.
"Can we please finish fast. I have a deal to discuss with you later"
Jin nodded and began eating. Sua turned to her, nudging him with her elbow. The man clearly seemed irritated but looked at her. "What?"
"Are you and Namjoon dating? He just called you love", she asked him.
"Yes we are", Jin replied. He grabbed his wine glass to take a sip.
"Can I ask you something else?"
Jin didn't respond and continued drinking so she asked anyway.
"Does it hurt when they put their peepee in your asshole!?"
Jin immediately spat out the wine and I yelled as it came all over me. The whole table seemed to have heard this as they all looked at her aghast. Namjoon slammed his fork and knife onto the plate. He glared at Sua as he stood up and left, clearly flushed and embarrassed.
"I think I lost my appetite", Yoongi spoke as he took left his food. "Me too", Hoseok followed.
Jin was bewildered as he looked at her. "First of all, bold of you to assume I am a fucking bottom. Second, this is not something you ask people. Its a personal thing. I am not interested in telling you"
"Hey!", she retorted. "Its just a simple question and I am curious. We are all grown adults here except Junglebook. You, little child", she pointed her finger at Jungkook. "Close your ears, let the adults have an adult conversation"
"CALL ME JUNGLEBOOK ONCE AGAIN, I DARE YOU BITCH", Jungkook shouted, ready to throw hands until I pulled him back to his seat.
Jin shook his head in disbelief and left leaving her with me, Jungkook and Jimin. The youngest almost had a murderous look in his eyes. Sua seemed to notice as she smirked mischievously again.
"Oh baby Kookie, is you mad?". Seemed like she was deliberately trying to push his buttons.
"I am warning you", Jungkook glared. It was baffling to see how this girl was testing Jungkook like this, like she wasn't scared of him at all. He wasn't the kind of person anyone took lightly.
The youngest of our Mafia had a reputation for being both short tempered and reckless. He didn't hesitate to start shit with people. The young blood's aggressiveness paired with his rash behavior and impetuousness had led to many, including (me) almost dying. He'd start brawls or fights he had no idea how to handle or end. It only took a few words to get him mad which Namjoon often asked him to be careful about.
"Well I am sorry if I did or said anything to offended you", Sua began. I was fairly surprised to hear apologies. Guess Jungkook's intimidating face made her realize messing with him was bad.
"Because it was purely intentional", she snickered.
Guess I spoke too soon.
Jungkook who for a second was filled with pride and pompousness at hearing the word sorry, banged his fists on the table and stood up. His face was literally cherry red and he was raging. I saw him grab the butterknife, ready to attack until another set of words from her stopped him.
"Oh my, look at that red face", she pointed at him and Jungkook halted in his actions. "Last time I saw a face like that, I fed it bananas"
Me, despite not wanting to, burst into a laugh as I heard this. Even Jimin who had been sitting silently let out a little laugh. But when he saw Jungkook turn to him with a look full of surprise, anger and disbelief, he coughed to cover it up.
Jungkook was embarrassed because he was constantly being harassed by this new girl. Second, he didn't have the wit to match upto her and that irked him. Jungkook hated losing. Third, it was a woman and his male ego was clearly bruised.
"I'll make you regret this", he hissed, throwing the knife and pushing his chair out of the way before stomping out of the dining room.
"Good to know that you can use big words like regret!At this rate you will soon pass 5th grade. Fighting Jungkook!", she yelled at the boy who increased his pace and disappeared from there.
"Honestly I have never had this much fun annoying anyone. Tell me one thing, he is quite a trouble maker, isn't he?"
Both me and Jimin stayed quiet, not wanting to answer.
"It takes only a few words to rile him. If a little bit of trash talking gets him so worked up, I bet he has gotten into lot of trouble in the past, hasn't he?", with that she sank in her seat as she said this to no one in particular.
I raised an eyebrow as I heard this. She had quite correctly deduced his character. And that too very quickly. And now that I think about it, she kept constantly annoying him not to have fun but to probably test her own theory about Jungkook's behavior.
She was sharp and quite calculative. And I made note of it. If she translated all of this effort to her work, she'd become Namjoon's favorite in no time.
"You know Sua", Jimin began and I was distracted from my thoughts. "There is a very famous English phrase. Curiosity killed the cat. Being way too curious about things or people in this house can be dangerous. You have no business knowing about Jungkook's past or what he is like"
She chuckled and sat up straight. "Clearly you do not know the latter part of the saying. Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back. Its always nice to know a thing or two about people. You never know when it might become useful"
Jimin was taken aback and she smiled victoriously. With that she stood up and walked towards her room. A smirk formed on my face as I saw her leave. This Mafia was going to get interesting after so long.

Queen's POV
I stood outside Namjoon's office as I waited to get in. He had call me for some reason and I think it had something to do with my inappropriate behavior at dinner earlier. Or maybe Jungkook complained.
But I had to do what I did. It proved something for me. Jungkook the youngest was exactly what Xiumin said he was — unstable, truculent and overly hostile. One that worked with his strength rather than his brain. Easy to pick up a fight with. Something which I could definitely use against him.
While waiting outside I noticed Namjoon's office. If I were to sneak in and steal data, how could I do it? There were two cameras placed right outside which would report any person trying to get in. Not to mention a digital lock which meant it was restricted entry.
I needed to observe the cameras intently to figure out a solution. But If keep looking into it, Namjoon would know that I am trying to do some shady shit.
Maybe if I fool around, he wouldn't get suspicious. They already think I am crazy, might as well capitalize on that.
I looked up as I smiled, making some questionable faces. I also did some weird mime dance before doing a wave and following it with some other randomness. This gave me ample time to actually study the position of the cameras.
Wait a minute. The cameras were placed on a slightly elevated part of the wall and away from the door. That means, the area exactly under it should be a blind spot.
If I could somehow sneak and get below them, the person monitoring would never be able to see me. A smile formed on my face as I retained this information.
The only next hurdle would be the digital lock. It had a number keypad. So this wasn't fingerprint activated, it had a password.
Bingo.
Lead dust or metallic grey eyeshadow. If I sprinkled it on this keypad, the places where his fingers touched would pick up the powder and form an outline. With that I could easily retrieve the code.
Seemed like a good plan now even though I knew when it came to actually executing it, I would mess up some way.
"GET IN", Namjoon yelled from outside and I walked into the office. "First of all never dance in front of my cameras again. Or I will personally come out and shoot you", he said looking up from his file.
"Aye"
"Good", he instructed and went back to reading.
"Am I here because of what happened at dinner? Sorry I don't mean to offend anyone. You guys look like a nice couple"
"Its not because of that", Namjoon sighed. "I am not wasting my time on irrelevant stuff. But I would appreciate you not talk about it again and make everyone uncomfortable"
This mafia was clearly not fun at all. Me and EXO had so much fun all the time. Cracking sex jokes on dinner was a tradition there.
"And also please stop annoying Jungkook. He came to me complaining and said you insulted him a lot. He was in tears because he got teased. And Jin gets mad when Jungkook cries. Also he lets all that anger out on me. So please, pardon me that mess. I know the forbidden pleasure that comes from irritating Jungkook but tone it down"
I had to stop myself from laughing. Namjoon raised an eyebrow and I immediately stopped. "I'll not do it again
"Appreciate it. Now, take a seat"
I pulled a chair seating myself down. Trying my best to not look obvious, I glanced around the office. My eyes rested on something which looked like a safe behind his desk. Also his computer was right there too. These two things must hold most of the information on his business.
"Are you done looking around?", he removed his glasses and massaged his nose bridge.
"You have a good office. Its bigger and more expensive than my entire house", I replied.
Not my actual house of course. Sua's house. EXO mansion was a state of the art property. Bangtan's house couldn't even compare.
He ignored me as he opened another file and placed it in front of me. A picture of a man was looking back at me.
Bosco Shin, one of the most notorious drug supplier in Korea. He was nuts. And by nuts, I mean actually out of his mind. I had never seen a bigger psycho than him in my life. He didn't give a thought before he shot someone or had them killed. From what I heard, once a waiter at a restaurant got his order wrong and he smashed the man to death in front of all the guests.
"Do you know him?", Namjoon asked.
"No", I lied.
"His name is Bosco. He deals in drugs. Some of the most lethal ones. I want him to become a supplier for our Mafia. What he brings, no one else in East Asia does. He has the monopoly on some of the most deadly drugs from Colombia. And I want him on board"
"What do you want me to do then?", I asked.
"He is visiting our mansion after three days. I want you to convince him to do business with us"
"Me!?", I was flabbergasted. Maybe because I knew of Bosco. He would never agree so easily before making it hell for me. Namjoon clearly was testing me.
"Are you sure I am the right person for this?", a nervous chuckle left my mouth.
He smiled as he leaned forward. "You will do whatever it takes to get him. Remember your own little speech about power yesterday? If you want power you work for it. Just because I let you live doesn't mean you get a free ride. You work as hard as the other boys do. I want all his drugs for under $10,000 a pound. Not a penny more"
My jaw clenched in anger but I nodded. "Okay, you will have the deal. No matter what it takes"
"Don't be so confident", he laughed. "You don't know about Bosco. He is not going to hand over the deal to you so easily. Especially not at such low cost"
"And you don't know me. If I say I will get the deal, I'll go to any lengths to get it. You'll get your drugs and you won't have to pay a dime more than 10,000"
"Think about it once again", Namjoon's voice was silky yet dangerous. "You are making a promise to me. And I hate it when people break them. If tomorrow even if you have to sacrifice yourself to get the deal, do it. If he asks you to shoot yourself, do it. If you have to sleep with him to get the deal, do that as well. No matter what he says, do it. Because if you come back empty handed, I am afraid you might not live to see another day"
