Queen's POV

"You ready?"

I looked back to see Jimin and I nodded. I was waiting by the garage as I saw him walking towards me. Just in the morning he had come to my room and told me to get ready in an hour and wait for all the members at the garage.

"Where we headed to though? You forgot to tell me that"

"To meet some people", he said tightening his cuffs. "At the royal temple"

"Okay"

"Wait. Do you know about the royal temple?", he looked up to meet my eyes.

Oh shit. Sometimes I forget that I have to act like a person who knows nothing about things of a Mafia.

"Ah", I chuckled. "Isn't the name obvious? Royal temple. So it is a temple. What do people do in a temple? They pray. So we are meeting people there and praying, I assume. Collecting holy water maybe? For when Hoseok decides to act a little too daddy? Telling god not to send us all to hell..", I laughed it off.

Jimin laughed. "No not really. The royal temple is this place where Mafias meet to discuss things. Its this neutral place where no one is allowed to harm the other. If you do so, there are grave consequences. We are going there to meet EXO"

"Ah okay"

Wait what!? Wow. The thought of seeing all of them made me elated. After maybe 5 weeks of being by myself, I was finally going to see the entire EXO family. Yayyyy!

"They wanted you to come especially", he said.

For a second I was taken aback. "They asked for me!?"

"No they didn't specifically ask for you. They just said to get the girl who Sehun stabbed. So that was you"

"Alright", I nodded. The other boys also came out, dressed sharply in their usual black. I wanted to ask something to Jimin when suddenly someone bumped both me and him.

Taehyung walked upto us as he pushed himself in between us. What was this man doing?

"What are you guys talking about?", he asked.

"Nothing. Just telling her about the royal temple and the meeting with EXO", Jimin replied, slightly taken aback by Taehyung's sudden presence.

"Okay", the man nodded. I walked towards Hoseok and Yoongi's car since we had become quite good friends now. Jin and Namjoon's car was a complete no. I didn't want to be a third wheeler. Taehyung and Jimin and maybe Jungkook. A complete no. I'd end up getting into a brawl with Jungkook.

"This side", I was suddenly pulled along by Taehyung towards his car.

"Wait let me go to Hobi", I resisted but he glared at me. "Hobi's sports car only seats two people. Yoongi is already with him. So cut it and get into my car"

I narrowed my eyes and clicked my tongue in annoyance but followed.

"Get in the car boys, we will be late otherwise", Jin yelled and got into the driver's seat as Namjoon sat in the passenger one.

I had just recently come to know that Namjoon did not have a driver's license and apparently Jin had to drive him around everywhere.

I laughed at this piece of information in my room for an hour.

And then I imagined a scenario where he was a Mafia leader fighting the enemy but had to later get an Uber home because he couldn't drive. I then imagined him covered in blood, waiting for one on the sidewalk and that itself sent me into another laughing fit.

And then one of the men named Dong who was passing by told Jin I was crazy and mental because he heard me laughing by myself in the room.

Me, Jimin and Taehyung walked towards Taehyung's car. Jungkook too came running towards us yelling about how he didn't want to ride with Jin and Namjoon because he was scared they would display too much affection.

"Can I drive?", I asked Taehyung as I admired his shiny black Maserati.

"No"

"Please. What is the problem?"

"We have to be at the meeting today itself. Alive and in one piece", he taunted me.

"Are you questioning my driving skills?", I scoffed. "What a sexist comment"

"I don't have to question them", he shot back. "I know they are bad"

I let out the ugliest grunt. "You are just scared I can handle this bad boy better than you". He glared at me and I know I had hit the right nerve. Attacking a male ego always works. 100% results guaranteed every time.
Hyelin Kang verified.

He paused and looker at me before tossing the keys. I caught them. "You better not let anything happen to the car", he warned.

I smirked as I held the keys before getting into the drivers seat. Jimin and Jungkook looked at Taehyung with a worried face before getting into the back. "I guess I should have stuck to Jin Hyung", Jungkook whispered to Jimin from the back. I rolled my eyes as I started the car. One look at Taehyung, I shifted the gear stick.

"Lets give you guys the best ride of your life, shall we?", I asked and slammed the reverse pedal.

Third Person POV

"GO SLOW! GO SLOW! YOU WILL GET US ALL KILLED", Jungkook yelled as Hyelin drove.

The men in the car currently regretted questioning the woman's skills because right now they were swerving through Seoul's streets like in a Fast and Furious movie. Hyelin though was having the best time of her life as she pressed the accelerator with even more vigor.

"LET'S GET IT BITCHES!", she yelled at the top of her voice.

"MY CAR", Taehyung cried as he was propelled ahead but immediately held the bar at the top to support himself. "SLOW IT DOWN SUA!"

"I DON'T THINK I HAVE INSURANCE", Jimin yelled as the car glided between two trucks, almost on the verge of hitting one.

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE TAKE ME OUT", Jungkook clung to the seat belt like his life depended on it.

"THE EXIT! THE EXIT", Taehyung yelled. "WE MISSED THE EXIT"

"No problem", Hyelin giggled.

The boys at the back watched aghast as she slammed the brakes. They almost came flying forward but held themselves back using the car seat as support. Putting the gear into reverse, she turned her face back and winked at Jungkook before pressing the pedal.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?", Jimin yelled as he saw the car go backwards. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? WHY IS THE CAR GOING REVERSE!?"

From behind cars honked and got out of the way as they saw a crazy woman driving a car in reverse.

"WATCH OUT!", Jungkook yelled as a car came right towards them but Hyelin turned the wheel with one hand, sharply dodging it.

"STOP IT! STOP IT!", Taehyung yelled. Jimin looked like he had passed out in the back seat. Jungkook was almost on the verge of tears. "SOMEONE SAVE ME, JIN HYUNG, SAVE ME!", he cried.

"See we got the exit in time. No problem!", she laughed before slowing down and driving normally towards the exit. 

Three pair of enraged eyes looked at her.

"What?", she asked innocently. "I just wanted to try the car out. See how fast it could go"

"Give me your gun Jimin. You too Jungkook", Taehyung asked, panting for air. "I am blowing this woman's head right now. And I don't think I will be satisfied with shooting all the bullets from one gun. I need three"

"Do it", Jimin said angrily. "I will scrub the blood off the seats if you do it Taehyung"

"Me too", Jungkook added having almost killed Hyelin in his head.

"Hey guys, Chill! We are just having fun", Hyelin laughed, hoping it would make those guys less mad. "Plus Taehyung, nothing happened to your car right?"

"Shut up", he directed the words at me. "Unless you want to be thrown out of this car and onto the highway. Just shut up", with that he relaxed in the seat, rubbing his stomach to make sure he wouldn't throw up due to motion sickness.

Hyelin scoffed but continued driving, pretty content at being allowed on the wheel while the three boys recovered from the events of earlier.

———•••———

Taehyung's POV

"Why are you guys late?", Jin yelled as he looked at us.

"We took a detour", Jungkook answered sarcastically. "Stopped by to almost meet Jesus", with that he glared at the woman and she gave him a peace out sign.

"Lets go now. Shouldn't let you younger ones be by yourself. You guys always make trouble. And now you have found a fourth musketeer as well", he mumbled like a parent before walking towards the royal temple.

I saw Sua looking around and so I walked upto her and grabbed her hand to pull her along. "We are not tourists here. Make it quick"

"Hey let me at least take a look around. Why is this place called a temple if they don't have any gods here? Can't they name it the continental like John Wick?"

I said nothing but pulled her along with me. My eyes fell on her hands and I noticed how we were holding them. Sua seemed to have not noticed as she gaped around. I didn't want to leave her hand as well, so I let it be.

We reached a room where the meeting was scheduled. Just like the protocol required, all our guns had to be dropped off outside. Since Sua didn't have any, I dropped mine off quickly and we walked to the room.

She suddenly stopped and took her hand back. I looked at her and she seemed a little restless.

"What happened to you?"

"Nothing. Just a little anxious"

"Is it because of EXO?", I asked.

"Yeah", she nodded her head.

"They are not going to do anything if that is what makes you nervous"

"I know that", she let out a breath. "Still. Just give me a second"

She took a few seconds to calm herself down and I stood with her. The other 6 boys were already inside so I motioned for her to come along.

"Ready?", I asked.

"Yes. Lets go"

With that I opened the door as she walked in and I followed.

———•••———

Queen's POV

The moment I walked in, I saw all of them. 12 of the most precious people in my life sitting there. Each one of them was looking at me. And even when their faces were blank, in their eyes I could see relief and happiness at seeing me alive.

I took a seat on the Bangtan side and it almost felt like being a traitor. 

"Greetings!", Suho spoke and my lips curved into a smile which I immediately stopped, lest someone see me. "First of all, Miss Sua", he turned to me, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "Apologies for your injury. Sehun deeply regrets what happened and we hope you recover well"

"We'd like to apologize too", Namjoon spoke. "On Taehyung's behalf. About what happened with Jinyoung. It was a rash decision and we assure you something like this won't happen again"

Suho nodded. From beside him, Xiumin spoke, eyes not leaving me. "Can we ask how Miss Sua came to join your group? It is a little surprising that you included a member into the elite so suddenly!"

"What can I say", Namjoon smiled as he looked at me "Miss Sua managed to impress"

"I see", Xiumin replied but I could hear the mischief beneath. "I heard this in the Mafia circle that you are a police officer", he directed the question at me.

"I am", I replied curtly.

"A woman and that too an ex-police officer. Namjoon you must be onto something", Kris laughed. Namjoon chose not to reply, smiling the remark off.

"Let us discuss what we are here for", Yoongi added and Suho nodded. "The assassination of Sul Yedam. One of our biggest competitors in the Mafia circle got killed. Before that the attack was on your leader. Could this be a chain of events?"

"Seems likely", Suho nodded. "The Black Dragon Mafia which Yedam led still hasn't found who the assassin is. I had a talk with their vice leader and he said they think its a new independent organization"

"Namjoon", Jongdae turned to the leader from the other group. "Didn't Yedam work for you a few years ago? Maybe you would have an idea on who did this"

"He did", Namjoon replied. "But it was about 11 years ago. He worked with me briefly for six months as a henchman. After that he left to make his own group and since then I haven't heard much about him"

"Any information on this in the black market?", Hoseok spoke. "If an assassin has been hired, it has to be from the blackmarket. Maybe the dark web would have information on this"

"It will take time to find", Yixing added. "I can try and ask around"

"I will do so as well", Jimin added.

"We have one more thing", Luhan said as he took a white envelope from his coat and walked towards us. "One of our trusted informants saw this and we thought you should know about it"

Namjoon took the envelope as he opened it to remove some pictures. I peeped from the side in curiosity.

"Your trusted man Soobin. We saw him talking to someone from the Red Skull gang the other day. They exchanged briefcases and it seemed slightly out of place. We just thought you should know"

Namjoon glared at the pictures before crumbling one in his hand.

"Thank you Luhan for this. It indeed seems fishy to me. I appreciate you bringing it to my notice"

"Now if you excuse us", Suho stood up. "We must take our leave", with that he walked towards Namjoon to shake his hand.

"And you too Miss Sua", with that he held my hand and kissed it. "Nice seeing a pretty lady like you join the Mafia industry. Trust me, its hard to find them here"

I folded my lips inwards to stop smiling as I saw eleven guys at the back roll their eyes. Beside me Taehyung made an exasperated scoff as he pulled my hand away from Suho. "Stay in your lane", he growled lowly at him for only the three of us to hear. I was surprised at the way he tightly held my hand and pushed me behind. But my heart fan-girled hard. It felt like being in a drama.

Suho smiled. "Apologies if I made you uncomfortable" with that he turned around and walked away with the rest.

———•••———

I sat in the back this time after my little shenanigan with the car before. Seeing EXO made me so happy today, a smile was perched on my face the moment we left the royal temple.

While everyone was sitting silently, my stomach decided to make the most embarrassing sound it could. I gasped as three pair of eyes looked at me including Taehyung who saw through the mirror.

"WHAT!?", I immediately covered my stomach with my hands as I glared at them. "I am just hungry"

"Now that Sua mentioned it, I am hungry too", Jungkook said from beside.

"Noona you asshole", I slapped the back of his head. "I am 6 years elder to your immature ass. SIX MOTHERFUCKING YEARS"

"Fuck off", he scoffed. "You are not my Noona"

I gasped. "Maybe if you were more respectful to me the gods of sex would have blessed you with a good girlfriend. Now I curse you die a virgin Juancock"

"HYUNG!", Jungkook yelled. "She is teasing me again", he cried.

"Aye! Aye. Stop it you both. And lunch has been made at home Jungkook", Jimin added. "We will not be wasting it"

"I DON'T WANT TO EAT AT HOME!", the both of us yelled together.

"We eat what is made at home", Taehyung said from the driver's seat. "Jin yells at me when we don't eat what he has made. I don't have the patience to sit through one of his scolding session again"

"Not going to lie", I shook my head. "Sometimes your brother cooks terribly. I feel like going all Gordon Ramsay on him and calling him an idiot sandwich"

"Say this to his face when you no longer have the will to live", Taehyung replied.

"TaeTae", Jungkook propelled himself ahead as he pinched Taehyung's cheek while the latter just shook his head in disgust. "Please take us out. To my favorite burger place. Its just 10 mins away"

"No Jungkook"

"Please Tae"

"No Jungkook"

Taehyung looked through the mirror to meet my eyes. "Burgers please Tae", I put on my best cute face and copied Jungkook. He looked me in the eyes for a solid second before lowering his gaze.

"Fine!"

With that he turned the car as we headed out to eat. I clapped in excitement and so did Jungkook as we discussed what to eat.

———•••———

Third Person POV

The car stopped in front of a burger shop and both Hyelin and Jungkook ran out of the car like kids. Jimin looked at Taehyung with a raised eyebrow as he saw him smiling at this.

"Tae you don't even like burgers"

"So what?", Taehyung replied as he got out of the car. "They do"

"What has happened to you", Jimin threw his hands in the air. "You have become so weird the past few days"

Taehyung chose not to answer as he walked into the shop followed by Jimin. His eyes fell on Hyelin and Jungkook in the line, intensely discussing what they should eat.

A group of mothers standing there with their children immediately pulled them away from the duo in fear as they saw the tattoos and Mafia like appearance.

Jungkook was busy reading the menu but Hyelin seemed to have noticed as she looked down dejected. Taehyung saw this and for a second, he too felt sad seeing her look so gloomy.

"You can go first", Hyelin said to Jungkook who went ahead and ordered enough to feed an entire community.

It was Hyelin's turn next and she looked around before bending ahead and asking the man. "Is the Jennie Kim burger available? You know the one she promotes. Along with which you get the photo-card?"

"Yes", the man replied monotonously and she squealed. "I'll take that!"

They patiently waited for their orders. Hyelin opened the box only to see that there was no photo-card inside.

"Uh excuse me", she called out to the man once again. "There is no photo card"

"Yeah", the guy said chewing on a piece of gum mindlessly. "We ran out of the cards. Some young boys came earlier and asked for two each so I gave them all two"

Hyelin gasped. "BUT IT SAYS IN THIS I SHOULD GET ONE PHOTOCARD. THAT IS NOT FAIR"

Jimin, Jungkook and Taehyung who were sitting on a table with the youngest looked up as they heard her yell.

"Mam", the guy scoffed "you look like you are 30 years old. Why do you even need that card? Ultimately you want the burger, right? The cards are for kids and young adults. Aren't you a little old to be obsessing over a Kpop idol?"

Hyelin gaped at that man with her mouth open and eyes wide before holding him by the collar.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME 30 YEARS OLD? I AM NOT 30. AND THERE IS NO AGE TO BE A FAN DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT. NOW GIVE ME MY FUCKING PHOTO-CARD"

Taehyung immediately ran upto them, pulling Hyelin away from the guy who look petrified.

"Is this crazy lady with you?", he asked trembling. "You guys should put her in a mental hospital. She wants to kill me over a damn merch item. You better take her and leave before I call the police"

Taehyung held the man by the collars as he pulled him out from the other side. Removing a gun, he placed it on the man's head. "If the lady asks for a photo-card, give her the damn photo-card. Do you understand?"

The man began crying as he nodded, clearly shaken to the core.

"You want to call the police?", with that Taehyung clocked the gun. "Go ahead. Do it. Do you think they will arrest Mafia members over the death of a part-timer like you? I'll throw a stack of money at their faces and they will be on their way, pretending this murder never happened"

The man kept crying, shaking his head. "Let me go. Let me go, I am sorry. I will give her the cards. As many as she wants. Let me go please"

Taehyung was about to say something but Jimin came running. He let go of the man who fell behind the counter as he turned to look at Jimin.

"Taehyung, we have to get home. Hobi called. Someone blew up all our warehouses in Busan"
