Queen's POV

Stop crying bitch, I said to myself as I sat on the roof of the Bangtan Mansion. The image of Taehyung looking at me with those regretful eyes made all hell within me go lose as I let out the ugliest whimper I could.

Taking one more tissue, I blew my nose.

Why was I, a Mafia leader, crying over a boy who I had a crush on? Why was this womanly side of me coming out? I wiped the tears more as I hiccuped. All this drama did not suit my image at all.

Was my period around the corner?

Possibly.

I took one more tissue as I wiped my eyes. Maybe I should google a solution to it.

Question: How do Mafia leaders deal with broken hearts?

WikiHow: Shoot people until you feel better.

I hiccuped once again so I stood up to go downstairs to get some water. When I turned, I saw Taehyung standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"There you are"

At the sight of him I immediately turned back. No, I couldn't let him see me crying and whimpering over him. That would be peak embarrassment. I immediately wiped my cheeks and eyes.

"Were you crying?"

"You wish I was", I shot back. "And what would I even cry about? Its not like I am some young teenage girl with a crush on this handsome guy who probably doesn't like me back. Do you think I am a Y/N in a Wattpad fanfic who cries all the damn time for a boy? Let me tell you sir, I am not the one to cry. I am the one who makes people cry. I am a human onion"

"So", Taehyung walked upto me. "You cried because you have a crush on me. And you think I don't like you. And you probably assumed this because of what happened earlier and the way I left the room?"

Kang Hyelin : rants mindlessly and exposes herself

Also Kang Hyelin when Taehyung find outs the truth: *Surprised Pikachu face*

Taehyung smiled a little as he held my hand and pulled me near.

"What are you doing?", I panicked at this close proximity.

"Yes you are right. I acted like a jerk earlier. And no that wasn't regret you saw on my face. It was fear. Fear of becoming too attached and then getting hurt. But then I realised I was even more scared of not telling you how I felt and regretting that later"

"Do you..?", I was unsure whether to continue ahead.

"Yes. I like you"

I was stunned and chose to be silent. What do I say? I had never been confessed to before. What are you to say when someone confesses?

Cool, drinks on me. Wanna catch a crime documentary later?

Is that an appropriate response?

Shut up Kang Hyelin, shut up, my inner voice yelled at me. Just fucking concentrate.

"Why do you always stay silent when you are supposed to say something? And speak when everyone begs you to shut it huh?", he put a finger under my chin as he raised it.

"What do you want me to say?", I asked. "I am not good at all this"

"I just want you to tell me how you feel", he whispered gingerly. "Do you like me?"

I nodded. "A lot"

"That's it then. Its the only thing I wanted to hear", he said with a smile before pulling me even closer. "Can I kiss you? Sorry I didn't ask the last time. Was a dick move by me", he chuckled. I didn't nod but tip toed and softly pecked his lips. Taehyung was stunned but smiled himself. He pressed our bodies together before kissing me.

I closed my eyes as he pressed his lips on mine.
My heart clenched as I realised what a big lie all of this was. I was deceiving him. He never knew who Kang Hyelin was. He fell in love with Kang Sua. The start of this was a big fat lie. What would happen when he came to know about this?

He pulled away and this time I saw happiness and love dripping from his eyes. A smile formed on my face too. But I didn't know if it was a sad one or genuine happiness.

"Can I ask you something else?"

I nodded.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

I laughed a little as I heard this. He sounded like a teenage guy proposing to his high school love. I wanted to say no. It was the correct thing to do. I should refuse. This would get too complicated. Someday I'd have to leave and go back. And that day, hell was going to break lose here. But a part of me wanted to say yes.

YOU IDIOT, my inner voice yelled. YOU ABSOLUTELY DUMB DICKHEAD. DO NOT SAY YES YOU VILE WOMAN.

HYELIN IS YOU SAY YES, YOU SUCK. YOU SUCK BIG TIME, the voice yelled. MAY YOU STINK FOREVER.

But I ignored it.

For once, I wanted to be happy and selfish. For once I wanted to think only about myself. So I did, I said it.

"I will be your girlfriend"

"Good choice", he chuckled he smiled as he cupped my cheeks in his big hands and kissed me softly. After that he hugged me tightly as I pressed my face into his chest. My eyes watered slightly.

Maybe the best thing to do now was to leave. Before this feeling became too deep for either of us to escape. Maybe for the sake of Taehyung, I could let go of my hatred for Namjoon. Now I just had to look for an appropriate moment to escape from this house.

———•••———

Queen's POV

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. And it was a wonderful feeling for me. Taehyung had changed completely. He went from a Mafia guy who hated me to being a great boyfriend.

I was supposed to try and escape but honestly I had made zero effort for it. A part of me wanted to leave but then another kept wanting to stay with Taehyung. So in conclusion, I was still around with no intention of leaving any time soon.

Taehyung was too perfect to leave just like that. We spent hours talking everyday even though most of the conversation I had to fake and make up stories about because he expected me to tell him about my aka Sua's life.

He also told me about his own family, the incident with their father which Jin had already talked to me about.

The other boys seemed to be quite accepting as well. Jin the most of them all. He became even sweeter than he already was. Even Namjoon treated me with more respect. My friendship with Hoseok kept getting better. Me and Jungkook cut down on our banter and decided to try being friends.

Though this kid was almost 6 years younger to me, he still did not have an ounce of respect for me. Yoongi kept his distance but we did talk sometimes. Jimin on the other hand threatened me a lot saying how he'd kick my ass if I hurt his best friend.

Oh Jimin, what do I tell you?

I opened the door to Taehyung's room to see him sprawled on the floor, a video game controller in his hand. He smiled as he saw me and I sat beside him.

"No come here", he said, opening his legs apart and pulling me in front of him so I was resting my back on his chest. He put his head atop mine and wrapped my body in his arms. "Much better"

"So I have to watch you as you play?", I looked up.

"Yes of course"

"Can I play as well?", I asked.

"Uh Sua— you know— this game is a little complicated. We can play Mario later okay?"

"Taehyung are you refusing me? your girlfriend? Weren't you the one who told me a week ago that you'd do anything I asked? Even take a hundred bullets for me?"

"Yeah but I also said that after probably the 5th bullet I'd be dead anyway. So beyond that a hundred or a one thousand, makes no difference. Technically the crux of the argument was that I'd take only 5", he replied mindlessly.

"Asshole", I jabbed my elbow in his thigh.

I stood up only for him to pull me back again. "Sorry, sorry! I am sorry baby. All right you can play", with that he kissed my forehead and I scoffed. He came back with another controller and handed it to me.

"So what are the rules?", I asked.

"You'll figure it out as we play", he dismissed me and I giggled in excitement. "Okay. Lets just start already"

Honestly I could count the number of times I had played video games. After that one time when the control slipped from my hand and broke the screen while playing baseball in Wii, none of the EXO boys let me touch their consoles. And when I bought my own, it mysteriously disappeared from my room one fine day.

The thief just left behind a note.

As gamers, we cannot let the XBOX fall in the wrong hands. If you have any respect for the gaming community Hyelin, don't come looking for your XBOX. We promise to raise it well.

My bet was on the midget Bacon aka Baekhyun.

"We are starting", Taehyung said and I nodded my head with a big smile.

"LET'S GO!"

I immediately placed whatever buttons I could, panic taking over me.

"TAEHYUNG WHAT DO I DO?"

"PRESS THE X AND THE DOWN ARROW"

I did as he asked. Nothing happened.

"TAEHYUNG NOTHING IS HAPPENING"

"JUST PRESS THE BUTTON. THE X BUTTON. AND—", his words trailed off as he concentrated on killing the enemy soldiers.

I pressed every button on the controller and tried every combination that I could think of. But nothing was happening. It did not make sense.

"WE WON BABE! WE WON THIS ROUND!", he flung himself towards me and kissed my cheeks. "SEE YOU DID SO GOOD", with that he ruffled my hair.

"What", I was confused. I did not even do anything. How could I make our team win?

Wait a minute.

AH HELL NO!

I pulled the controller only for it to come towards me. This asshole never plugged my console in.

"KIM TAEHYUNG!", I yelled as I raised the control in disbelief. He giggled shamelessly. I lunged at him but he managed to escape. I got on my feet as it became a full chase.

"COME BACK HERE YOU STINKY SAGGY CABBAGE. LET ME SMACK THIS PALM ON THAT BIG ASS FOREHEAD OF YOURS"

Taehyung kept laughing as he managed to dodge all my attempts. Finally I got a hold of his leg and he fell on the bed. I climbed on him as I pushed his face in the mattress.

"Sorry Sua! I am really sorry. Let me go, it hurts"

"How dare you even do this to me. I am going to hit you so hard you are gonna wish you never came out of your mom's coochie"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Who insults their boyfriend like this? Where were you raised? The streets?"

"Precisely. Now cut the crap you stale ham sandwich of a human", I was ready to cuss the hell out of him.

Taehyung gasped. All of us a sudden I lost balance and was pulled down. Taehyung pinned me down to the side and climbed over me.

"Aye! Taehyung!"

"What?", he mischievously asked as he hovered over me. "Is this going to be my view when we finally do it?", he smirked shamelessly.

A scoff escaped my mouth as I pushed him to the side and climbed over him, straddling him in the process.

"Nope. This will be", I smirked.

"Oh damn woman, you can be the dom any day you want"

I chuckled and he did too. Just as he came close to kiss my lips, the door flung open. We immediately straightened ourselves. Taehyung was about to yell at the youngest for invading our privacy but stopped as he saw his face.
Jungkook stood there, completely disheveled and with tears rolling down his eyes.

"Hyung! Sua! Come fast", his voice cracked and with that he turned and ran away.

I looked at Taehyung who seemed confused. I got off him and we both ran behind Jungkook.
In the main hall, all the boys stood. Namjoon was at the front but his back was to us. The atmosphere in the room was dreadful. Like something bad had happened.

We made our way through the other boys and to where Namjoon was. He was holding something. It looked like pictures.

It took me a second to realise what the picture was. Dead bodies. Two women, their bodies soaked in blood. Looked like they had been stabbed to death.

Taehyung seemed to know them as he turned rigid and his face was etched in incredulity. I took a few steps back to where Hoseok was. He seemed completely numb and all colour had been drained from his face. He had tears rolling down his eyes. I tapped his arm slightly and he looked at me with bloodshot eyes.

"Who are these women?", I whispered.

"Namjoon's mother and sister"
