A/N: To all of y'all who thought I died or something, no I didn't. I was just busy with grad school. Here's the new chapter. Also LOL that title.

Taehyung's POV

I saw Yongguk run towards his car so I shot him in the leg. The man fell and I chased upto him. He tried to pick up the gun and shoot me but before that I had already shot his hand causing the heavy metal weapon to fall.

He grunted in pain and slipped to the ground, bleeding as he tightly clutched his hand.

"Who sent you?", I asked as I hovered over him. Yoongguk chuckled as he lay on the ground. "Ooh I am scared Taehyung"

"I will not repeat my words. Who sent you?"

"Fuck you", with that he spit at me. "You know you cannot kill me. My allies will rip you to shreds. Plus your Mafia signed a deal of non violence with my parent gang. You know Bogum, the leader. He'll have you and that faggot brother of yours begging"

I was pissed as I wiped my face before taking him by the collar and propelling him up. As I put the gun to his head, a whimper left his mouth. "So you think you can break the treaty but we cannot. My dear, I specialise in foul play. To hell with your allies and Bogum. My boss and my brother's boyfriend is Kim Namjoon. And my girlfriend is EXO's leader Queen. I am pretty sure they'll handle whatever shit that happens after I kill you. Now, Who sent you? Tell me and I will let you live"

The sudden realisation of our power seemed to have dawned on Yongguk as his lips parted and eyes widened. Fumbling a little he answered.

"It—it was a random call. He said—he said if I wanted revenge on you guys, I should go to Warehouse 31 with as many men as I could and kill you. He didn't say—a name—"

I pondered a second. Of course it was random. No sane man would trust Yoongguk with their identity. Or maybe it was Leo. It had to be Leo. Lawrence and Leo always got along well. It could very well be possible that under Leo's command he misguided us.

"Let go of me now. I told you everything.."

"Of course", I replied. "Please don't—", before he could complete, I removed my gun, shooting him in the head as he fell, eyes wide open. With no time to waste, I turned to head back to the warehouse but there was a sudden noise. I looked away, losing balance as I landed on my feet. I closed my ears due to the sudden blast but when I checked, the warehouse was in flames.

Only one thought entered my mind.

Hyelin, Bangtan and EXO.

———•••———

Third Person POV

Suho screamed the moment the warehouse burst to flames. He tried to run towards it but Kai, Sehun and Tao held him back. Sua fell to her feat as she realized Hyelin was trapped inside. Her mind couldn't process anything as tears rolled down her cheeks.

The rest of the EXO boys were also left gaping. No one could believe what they saw.

The Bangtan boys too were stunned as they watched the warehouse turn to flames. Jin looked at Namjoon , a tear rolling down his eyes. The leader though looked away, his own heart breaking at this.

"HYUNG!"

He turned back to see Taehyung running at him. His eyes looked around to see that one specific person.

"Where is Hyelin? Where is she?", he turned to Jin. Taehyung saw Suho and the other boys crying there while Sua kept screaming as the men tried to restrain her. He couldn't understand what was happening. "Where is she?", he shook his brother by the shoulders.

"She— was inside..", Namjoon managed seeing that Jin couldn't reply, feeling a knot in his throat. "She went in to rescue Chanyeol and couldn't come out"

Taehyung's eyes widened as he lost his balance. He fell to his feet. "No.. No...", followed by screaming and crying. Jimin immediately hugged him as Taehyung kept wailing. "No..no....no", was all he could say as more tears rolled down his eyes.

"LET GO OF ME KAI!", Sua dragged herself towards the warehouse. Kai held her tightly as she dug her nails into his arms to run away. Tao stepped in, helping him hold her while the other boys stopped Suho. "LET GO OF ME, MY SISTER IS INSIDE"

"TAEHYUNG STOP!", Jin lunged forward for the boy as the older could see the younger trying to mimic the other's intentions.

"Hyung... Hyung.. she must be inside, please! Please I'll just find her..."

"TAEHYUNG NO!", Jin pulled him back. Despite not wanting to succumb, he couldn't help it since he had no ounce of energy to fight back. In front of him the warehouse was being engulfed in flames. He screamed, cried but his brother didn't let go of him. Sua too tried but couldn't free herself. The other boys all watched helplessly, none of them being able to process what was happening.

Jin's heart crumbled as Taehyung cried in his arms, hiding his face in the older's chest.

The thought of losing Hyelin just the moment it was all right felt like a jab to him. Despite it had been only 2 months since they met and three weeks since they were in love, Taehyung felt like a part of him had been lost with her.

"Are you all being this dramatic for me?", a female voice suddenly spoke followed by giggles. "I feel very much loved right now and this scene looks very much out of a drama"

Everyone stopped as they heard this. Taehyung paused, not sure if he heard correct. Slowly he turned back to see Hyelin standing there, absolutely disheveled yet alive. She had visible injuries on her body where her skin had been slightly burned.

Hyelin's eyes watered as she saw Sua, Taehyung and the rest of the boys standing there helpless and in disbelief. Sua stopped crying, the biggest relief on her face. "Hye..", her voice was soft. "I thought we lost you"

"Hyelin", Taehyung stood up as Jin let go of him to walk to her. The girl took steps ahead to reach him. Taehyung walked a few steps but stopped causing the woman to halt in confusion.

And next second he fainted with a thud to the ground. There was a pause after which Hyelin spoke.

"Is he not happy to see me alive or what?", Hyelin furrowed her brows.

Third Person POV

Taehyung lay on the bed in Hyelin's room as Jinyoung checked him. He still hadn't gained consciousness after fainting at the warehouse and that is why Hyelin called Jinyoung to come in a rush.

Hyelin had managed to escape the warehouse just seconds before it burst by jumping into a small outlet which was a few meters below the warehouse level. It shielded her from the force of the blast. But to the others it had looked like she couldn't make it. Chanyeol had fallen and hit his head in the commotion that followed after they tried to evacuate everyone. And hence passed out from the bleeding.

Taehyung too passed out after he saw Hyelin was alive. He had cried and screamed so much before ultimately losing consciousness.

The doctor, with his own arm in a sling, checked the man's vitals. "I cannot believe you asked me to help him", Jinyoung muttered angrily. "He shot me! He fucking shot me!"

"Jinyoung, you know that you are the only one I trust", Hyelin answered while sitting on the floor across her bed where Taehyung was sleeping.

"Sucks being a doctor. I cannot believe I spent so many years in med school only to be forced to treat people who attempted to kill me. Fuck the doctor's oath. I cannot even refuse anyone", he babbled while taking a drip needle and inserting it in Taehyung's arm as Hyelin watched. This was the first time she had seen Jinyoung this worked up.

"Sorry Jinyoung", was all she could say. "Why did he faint though?"

Jinyoung calmed himself down as he answered. "His brother told me that he has diabetes. His blood sugar levels must have dropped low which usually happens when they don't eat or take their meds on time"

Hyelin nodded, a little alarmed to hear of his health condition. Why did Taehyung not tell her about it when they were dating?

A grunt on the bed brought all her attention to it. Taehyung moved a little before opening his eyes. The unfamiliar interior of the room caused him to sit up straight with a jolt. His eyes traced both Jinyoung and Hyelin before he relaxed a little.

"What are you doing? What is this?", he asked Jinyoung, looking at the needle in his body.

"You fainted because of low blood sugar. If you know you have diabetes, don't compromise on your food. Its not healthy", Jinyoung replied monotonously, pretty evident that he was forcing himself to treat the 'patient'.

"Remove this", Taehyung said pulling the needle out. "And I don't want you to treat me. Don't touch me"

"HEY!", Jinyoung yelled pushing Taehyung back onto the bed and inserting the needle again. Taehyung winced in pain and tried to take his hand away, but Jinyoung had a firm grip on him. "I am not interested here in treating you either. My morals as a doctor stop me from refusing help. So you better behave or else—"

"Or what?", Taehyung shot back, a challenging look on his face.

"Or—or—", Jinyoung stuttered. "I will take your insulin away", he huffed before glaring at him and walking out ot the room.

Taehyung looked at Hyelin who was the only one in the room. She was looking at him as well, a little scared or unsure of what the future held for them.

"Why did you get me here?", he asked.

"Your mansion was lined with explosives. They blew the whole thing", she meekly answered.

Taehyung was stunned and out of words before he put on a straight face. "Good because we have been living there 14 years now. At least Namjoon Hyung will be forced to rebuilt it to something better or move to one of our other expensive properties. They blew it or else the house was about to fall down on its own one day anyway. That cursed place had it coming"

Hyelin was stunned for a moment before a smile formed on her face. His response was way different than what she expected.

"How did you find us today?"

"Well, Sehun said something about putting a tracker on SeokJin's car but I don't know when they met. I swear I don't, but he did it. And then he noticed something weird and informed us all. So we came"

Taehyung figured it was from the day Jin did his little shenanigan to expose Taehyung. They probably did not tell Hyelin about it. A devilish idea popped in Taehyung's head. He had already forgiven Hyelin after events from earlier but then he also wanted to mess with her. After all this time she played him, a little prank on his side was obviously allowed.

"Why are you looking at me like this?", Hyelin asked, partly scared and partly unsure. "I mean everything between us is resolved right? You are not angry anymore, are you?"

Taehyung smiled devilishly in his mind. If Hyelin though she could act, Taehyung was about to snatch this woman's wig.

"So this is what you all are up-to. Tracking us and following us around to see what we are doing. All this drama about 'not meddling in our business' was just a lie right? You are still hell bent on destroying us. Maybe you were the ones who tipped off The Devil's tribe and brought them to the warehouse and 'acted' as our saviors?", Taehyung bitterly spewed.

Hyelin gasped. "What... I thought you forgave us. Why are you being like this? You literally hugged me at the warehouse"

"So what", Taehyung growled. "I may have gotten overwhelmed and a little carried away. So I don't care what Sehun's reasoning behind doing what he did was. Truth is that he is an unreliable bastard and so are all of you"

Hyelin's shocked expression immediately turned to one of anger. "First of all, I don't know why Sehun tracked you. But I know one thing for sure and that is — he has anxiety and trust issues. He always likes to keep tabs on people so they don't end up betraying him or EXO because he has been through some shit in the past. So if you accuse my Sehunie again, I will forget that I like you a lot and kick your ass. Second, we came because we cared about all of you. We put our lives on the line because we didn't want anything happening to Bangtan. I agree I have been misleading you all when I was in Bangtan as Sua, but I don't want to be your enemy now", she said sincerely.

Taehyung scoffed once again. He was going to stretch this prank as much as he could. "Is this your meek attempt at fake crying? Which you do to get yourself out of situations? You did it once and we were fooled. Not a second time"

"TAEHYUNG!", Hyelin yelled in frustration. "How can you say that? Can you not fucking see? I like you. NO FUCK THAT. I love you. And I am sorry for what I did. It was a big misunderstanding on our part and we have accepted it. How long will you continue to treat me like shit!?"

With that Hyelin let out another cry. Tears rolled down her eyes as she wiped them. Just it always happened, a little hiccup was followed by two. She looked up to see Taehyung remove the needle from his hand and walk up to her. He stood in front of her. His face was plain, devoid of any emotions. He stared at her for a solid second before bursting into a laugh.

She was utterly confused as the man continued to laugh his ass off. "I never thought you'd take my prank so seriously. Messing with you is so much fun!"

Hyelin gasped before punching him straight in the abdomen. Taehyung fell back in pain, not sure what had happened.

"I HAVE BEEN CRYING MY EYES OFF AND THIS IS ALL A JOKE TO YOU!? LORD HAVE MERCY BECAUSE I AM ABOUT TO DESTROY HIS FAVORITE CREATION EVER", with that she lunged for him.

Taehyung fell back on the bed and was about to be attacked again but he managed to take a hold of Hyelin's hand.

"Alright! Alright!", he muttered. "I am sorry, I am just messing with you. If you can act, so can I baby girl! Guess who your competition for the oscar is now"

"Fuck off! Go find another girl, I am not interested anymore", Hyelin yelled angry. "I also take back the I love you I said to you"

"Oh baby but I only want you", Taehyung whispered. "No wait, don't you have a better looking version? Sua? I think I should go and flirt with her. That way I get you but with an upgrade. Better looking, less annoying"

Hyelin was left gaping, absolutely a wreck at hearing this.

"BASTARD!", another punch came Taehyung's way and he fell back on the bed. His cheek was throbbing yet he couldn't stop laughing. He sat up straight as he immediately pulled Hyelin towards himself. The girl fell on him and he wrapped his hands around her waist tightly. Hyelin said nothing as she tried to remove herself from his grip. A few tears rolled down her eyes and Taehyung felt guilty seeing them.

"Stop crying. I was just joking", his voice was soft as he saw tears on her cheeks. "And before that let me tell you how happy I am to see that you are okay", he brushed her hair to the side. "I had my heart in my hand when I realized I couldn't see you anywhere. But guess I always underestimate you. My bad"

Hyelin wiped her eyes, looking to the side, overwhelmed with emotions. She too had felt today that it was the end for her. To know that she might not see her family, Taehyung, EXO or Bangtan ever again.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. I thought you would take it sportingly but you ended up crying. And I don't want to see tears on that beautiful face"

"Don't call me beautiful for the sake of it", Hyelin replied, rolling her eyes. "Don't you find Sua more beautiful? Go flirt with her. Marry her or whatever. That is of course if Suho lets you live to see another day"

"I am not saying for the sake of it. You are even more beautiful than Kim SeokJin. Do you know how much courage it takes to say something like this? I hope you have a big backyard. Because if my brother hears me say that, I will be dead and I am going to have to be buried somewhere"

Hyelin did not want to but couldn't control herself and laughed. Seeing this, Taehyung smiled.

"Now let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart", with that he tightly hugged her. Hyelin's heart swelled with love as she once again embraced him, having missed being around him the past few days.

Thank you. Thank you so much. For saving me and Bangtan today. I don't care how you found out about us. What matters is you came. You promised to be there for me and you were there when I needed you. I am sorry I acted like an ass before. Today as well as at the warehouse a few days ago"

"Its not your fault. Why are you even apologizing? We were in the wrong. If anyone is responsible for this mess, its us", she replied.

"No, don't blame yourself. One of our men did this. Leo was the one who tried to kill your sister. It makes us responsible too. And I have one more thing to say to you", he looked her in the eyes. "I love you too"

A smile formed on Hyelin's face as she bent ahead and kissed him. Taehyung kissed back, a sort of hunger in him to devour her lips. When they parted, Hyelin looked at him with the most tenderness and warmth.

"Now let me kiss all of your wounds so they heal fast", with that he placed a chaste kiss on her arm where Jinyoung had bandaged the area followed by one at the cheek and another above her lids where a cut rest.

Hyelin closed her eyes with a smile as she cuddled him.

"So Sua and Suho huh? I wonder how that happened"

"Its an interesting story", Hyelin chuckled. "Suho once told me that he'd die than ever date me. Of course in a mischievous way since we are best friends. And the next day when he saw Sua for the first time, fell in love with her at first sight. Like does this even make sense? We have the same fucking face. Anyways, those two have been eye fucking each other for the past 9 years. In their minds they were already together but wouldn't confess to one another. But once I wad gone WHOOSH.."

Taehyung chuckled, so happy at hearing Hyelin narrate her story dramatically. They talked for a while before Taehyung's eyes began drooping. Hyelin decided it would be best to let Taehyung sleep.

"Why don't you rest? I will have someone send something to eat for you. Jinyoung will go get the meds you need. I have to check on the others as well. Chanyeol's had a pretty deep injury and even Yoongi's bullet wound looked bad. Once you wake up tomorrow, you can go see him because he is unconscious too.

Taehyung nodded before laying down on the bed. Hyelin placed a soft kiss on his head and walked out of the room while turning the lights off.

Once out of the room and by herself, she stopped. Before looking to both sides, she removed something from her pocket.

A locket that had fallen at her feet after the  explosion. Something she had quickly pushed into her pocket hoping it was an object that could give her a lead. As she untangled it, it fell to its original shape. Hyelin's face went blank as she stared at it intently.

A familiar golden locket with something carved in Mandarin.

A locket she had seen someone wear everyday for nine years now.

Kris's locket.
