Taehyung's POV

I slowly opened my eyes as the sunrays gently touched my face. For a second I was taken aback at the unfamiliar interior but then I realized I was at EXO's mansion. My eyes immediately looked for Hyelin as I sat up straight.

A yelp left my mouth as I saw her sitting cross legged on the floor by the bed staring at me. "What", I calmed my beating heart. "Are you doing babe?"

"You looked so peaceful while sleeping so I was admiring your face", she replied giggling.

"I don't know if that is cute or borderline creepy", I chuckled removing the blanket from me. She stood up and threw her hands around me, taking me in a tight hug.

I used one hand to balance myself and other to support her. "I am going to give you a hug every morning", she spoke nuzzling her face in my neck before kissing my cheeks.

"I'd be more than happy to receive it but can I know why?"

"When I was 12, I made this promise to myself", she began. "That when I first fell in love, I'd cherish the man or woman everyday"

"Wait, am I your first boyfriend?", I asked curiously. "You haven't dated before?"

"Nah", she said removing her arms from around my neck to face me. "I never even went out publicly without a mask. Of course I did not have the luxury to date. That is why I have never been in love either"

"What!", I was perplexed. "Well I should be the last one to comment since I have also had like two girlfriends, you being the second. But SeokJin said you were someone who would have a lot of suitors. And hence I assumed you had a lot of men you dated as well. On other note, are you a virgin too?", I slyly asked.

"Ah my innocent boy", she smirked. "Do you think I am some untouched Wattpad Wallflower? I said I have never been in love. But I have had my fair share of amazing and wild sex. With a woman too. But that was a one time thing when I was 20. Or a two time. Or I think an everyday ordeal. I just remember she was hot"

"Wait a second", I was taken aback. "If you haven't dated because you kept yourself hidden, how did you manage to sleep with them? I know for a fact that no one wants to have sex with a mask on"

She smirked but her eyes were devilish. My eyes widened and she snickered.

"Ah hell no!", I yelled. "Which one of these boys is it? Its one of the EXO motherfuckers, isn't it?"

Hyelin laughed trying to get away but I caught onto her and pulled her back on the bed, locking her within my arms and leg.

"All right, all right. It is one of the EXO boys", she confessed. "Oh wait no. Two of the EXO boys"

"What the fuck", I lowly muttered. "I thought they treated you as their sister"

"Not all of them. Only Sehun, Kai, Tao, Chanyeol, Jongdae, Xiumin, Baekhyun, Luhan and Suho call me their sister"

"That means", I striked out the two remaining ones. "Kyungsoo and Lay!?"

She nodded her head. "Kyungsoo and I, we used to be friends with benefit when he joined the Mafia. That was about 9 years ago. That went on for two years until he found someone he genuinely liked. And then at the same time, Lay was the latest one to join. He liked me and I thought he was sexy. So we had a thing. We slept around until two years ago and then both of us kind of lost interest. But yeah it didn't affect our friendship or anything. Its all chill"

I scoffed. "Seriously Kyungsoo? Kyungsoo for fucks sake. That man doesn't even speak anything. He looks like he is always disinterested or he is lowkey a serial killer psycho"

"Oh ho ho", she laughed. "You have no idea about interested he can get in bed"

I glared at her with a 'seriously' look and she immediately shut up. "Did the other boys know?"

"Yes of course", she mindlessly answered. "The walls of these house are notoriously thin"

I was left gaping at this boldness from her side.

"What about Kris? Why didn't you mention him?", I asked. "You neither mentioned him as your brother or as a fling. So then what does it make him?"

Her face went blank as she looked away. "Uh—yeah— I forgot. He is a good friend as well. Nothing between us. Now, why don't you take a shower and get changed? I know you don't have any clothes or anything so I sent Baekhyun to get some for all of you. Jin informed you wear only Gucci so yeah I piled it neatly in my closet. After you are done, come downstairs. Namjoon wants to have a word"

With that she pecked me and walked out of the room. I sat there on the bed confused. Something was definitely up between Kris and Hyelin.

———•••———

Queen's POV

The moment Kris stepped into the common dining room, my eyes were tracing each of his moves. He was silent all the time but he sure had his sight on Bangtan.

I observed the way he looked at him. He seemed angry and definitely pissed. I wanted to talk to Namjoon about something but in his presence, I rather not. So I had to send him out of the house somehow.

"Yifan"

He looked up from his phone as I called for him. "I need you to give money to Jinyoung. He needs it for some reason. The bag is in my office. Please take it to his house along with Tao"

He said nothing but stood up and headed to the office. I looked at Xiumin who seemed to have understood that I was onto something. As I saw Kris and Tao leave the house with the bag, I made a quick call to Jinyoung and told him to accept the money and lie on my behalf.

With Yifan gone, I had ample time to discuss things with Bangtan and EXO since all of them were in the same room.

"Okay everyone", I began. "Don't we have a couple of misunderstandings that we should clear between both the groups?"

"We definitely do", Namjoon answered. "Allow us to start. Hyelin. Wow feels weird calling you by this name", he shook his head. "How did you get in Bangtan? Like I know you came in as Sua but how did Bureau plan the raid?"

I cleared my throat. "Well it was simple. I framed you guys for a murder that I committed and forced Chief Kang to turn the investigation to Bangtan"

"You what..", Taehyung looked at me.

"Well there was this guy we murdered. We were the suspects and a warrant was issued for our mansion. My contact in the forensic department managed to plant fake DNA evidence of one of you on the body and—"

"Wait, whose DNA did you take?", Yoongi asked aghast. "And how did you have access to it?"

I looked at Jungkook, scared about how he would react. All the boys seemed to have noticed as they turned to look at Jungkook. The youngest was confused about why everyone was looking at him.

"You know how everyone calls Jungkook a virgin?", I continued. "Well we sent a woman to seduce him at the club and she got a hair sample of his which we then planted on the dead body. Sehun photoshopped a picture of Jungkook at the place where the body was found and then we forced Chief Kang's informant to send this all to Chief. And thats how Bangtan became the prime suspect of Mason Choi murder case. But getting a warrant was not possible so someone suggested we raid your house and I decided to go along so I could come into the mansion"

Jungkook was furious before he banged the table with both his hands and stood up. "HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!", he yelled at me.

"Sit down", Jin hissed at him. "You got played. You are an idiot. Its not their fault you are so dumb"

Before Jungkook could say anything, Kai pulled him back to the seat. "This is EXO mansion, do you realize. E—X—O mansion. No one comes here and raises voice at our leader"

"Its okay Kai", I interrupted. "We are sorry Jungkook"

Jungkook looked away, embarrassed and annoyed at his own self. Throwing the spoon in his plate, he stood up and left. "Jungkook—", I tried calling for him but he just walked away.

"Let him be", Taehyung put a hand on mine to stop me. "He'll come around"

"Okay", Namjoon said ignoring the events pretty used to seeing Jungkook sulk. "So, another question. How did you get the data from my computer and how did you know about Leo?"

"I stole it the day you went for a meeting. The air conditioner vent outside your office allowed me to get there undetected. And then lead dust helped pick fingerprints off the keypad. Guessing the password to the computer was sheer luck. World Wide Handsome", I giggled. "Really Namjoon?"

"Hey! Its something which I can remember easily", Namjoon argued.

"Of course you do", Jimin butt in. "Jin calls himself that 15 times in a day"

Jin glared at Jimin who just stuck his tongue out.

"My other contenders were — SeokJin's dick. But it said the password was too long", with that I winked at Jin playfully who gave me finger hearts.

Taehyung nudged me from the side and gave me a are you serious look.

"About Leo", I sighed. "The day I was stealing data from your office, I saw him come in. I hid behind the table. Even I was surprised when I saw him there because he was supposed to be on leave. He took something from a box in your cupboard and replaced it with something else"

"The burner phone", Namjoon looked wide eyed. "He must have texted Gowon with it. That was our only source of communication. I am a fool for not checking up on them", his eyes watered. "Maybe one call and today they would have been alive. Its all my fault..", he hid his face in his hands. Jin beside him took him into a hug. The whole atmosphere in the room turned gloomy.

"I am sorry Namjoon. I didn't know what Leo's intentions were. Had I known he was going to target your family, I would have risked my own identity and told you about it. But at that time, I couldn't see through him and in order to save myself, keep my mouth shut. I am sorry"

"You are in the wrong but its not your fault", he looked up. "Its because of you we know who did it. Leo isn't just an ordinary henchman. He is a force by himself. He is good at getting away with things. If someone hadn't seen him, he would still be by my side and I wouldn't have a speck of idea about who was behind the murder. I'd probably assume you guys were and declare war", he chuckled dryly.

I smiled but in my mind I felt a little sad and guilty. "Also we will cover the damages we did to your property"

Namjoon looked up, raising an eyebrow. "Oh how did I forget that", he chuckled in amusement and sarcasm. "You blew of $60 million worth of my assets in that explosion"

I looked away embarrassed. "I am sorry. I—I'll pay for it all. Xiumin call Hanson and tell him to immediately transfer the money to

"Anyways", Jin took hold of the conversation. "I think we have cleared everything amongst the groups. What should we do now? Our priority stays finding Leo"

"Yes", Yoongi added. "Leo may be an excellent henchman but there is one thing that he isn't. A leader. He always follows. That means there is someone out there controlling him"

Xiumin and I exchanged an uneasy glance because both of us were thinking about the same thing. Kris had all qualities to be a leader. And that too a fierce one.

"We need to devise a plan", Taehyung said from beside. "Filter out untrustworthy people from our Mafia. Lawrence for example. He gave us wrong intel and now he has disappeared. We trace each one of these fuckers down and eliminate them. Plus with you guys in support, it will be even more easier for us", he turned to me.

I nodded. "EXO is with you. And not just EXO. Consider NCT and IKON as your allies as well"

Taehyung nodded.

"Also while we are at it, Taehyung please find me your friend WonHo. I am going to end that two timing bastard and deflate his titties"

Third Person POV

Hyelin wandered into the huge garden of her house to look for this one man she had searched the whole house for. She saw him sitting in a corner, looking dejected and for a second she felt guilty knowing that she might be the reason behind it.

"Jungkook"

The said man immediately looked up wiping his glistening cheeks, scared at being approached like this. Hyelin swore for a second that she was reminded of a bunny.

"What do you want?"

"I just wanted to talk to you", the elder replied sitting beside him. Jungkook's body stiffened and he kept his guard up. Hyelin noticed this and a sad smile formed on her face.

"What is it?"

"I am sorry Jungkook"

The younger was surprised, not expecting an apology. He looked at her thinking within seconds she'd laugh and say something witty but she didn't. Hyelin had a sincere face.

"I am sorry we targeted you for our plan", she followed up.

Jungkook looked away, picking a dandelion from the grass as he ran a thumb over the white feathers on it. "You know I am not mad you targeted me. It was natural of you. We were enemies. I am mad at myself for falling time and again into these traps. For not being observant enough to know something was up. I am scared because someone else might know I am the weak link of the group and do exactly what you did but this time I might take the whole group down"

There was silence in which Jungkook's throat clenched due to being overwhelmed. While Hyelin sat beside him in silence.

"How old are you Jungkook?", she suddenly asked.

"22", the younger replied.

"And when did you join Bangtan?"

"5 years ago. I was 17"

"Exactly", Hyelin spoke. "You are still starting out. You are young. In my fifth year of running EXO, I was getting beaten up left, right and centre. At your age I couldn't shoot as well as you did. I took stupid decisions which sometimes cost our Mafia money as well as men. I was 21 when we had this drug deal we were doing. We got ambushed by an enemy gang and I miscalculated the danger we were in which led to us being surrounded by the enemy and all of EXO being wounded badly. I still feel guilty knowing that it was my fault that Xiumin had to take a bullet to the chest or that Kai could have almost lost his legs due to a critical wound"

"What happened then?", Jungkook was suddenly interested.

"Nothing. I learnt from it. We all learnt from it. I became more cautious. In this business experience is the best teacher. You'll make mistakes which will teach you not to make them again. You can never be too prepared. Everyday is a new challenge. Just be aware of your surroundings and don't trust anyone. So when making out with a random girl at the bar the next time, if she yanks your hair, you know what she is there for"

Jungkook chuckled and so did Hyelin. She looked at him as he was looking down to his feet. She placed her hand around his shoulder. "I bet Bangtan is very proud of you. Namjoon wouldn't have you in the group if you weren't skilled. So stop doubting yourself young man, you'll do great things. And mistakes happen. But they also make you the better you"

The younger nodded, overwhelmed at these motivating words. Hyelin ruffled his soft hair and he smiled, the ice finally breaking between the two after so long.

"Also sorry for all the time I teased you and called you Junglecock. It was merely to rile you up. This brings me to another lesson. Don't let words sway you. If a few insults has you wiping out your guns, it will be very easy for the enemy to make you careless and end you. I'll tell you what a famous and learned person once said. In the Mafia business being aggressive is a disadvantage. On the other hand being composed and calm are the most useful qualities you can have"

"Who's the famous and learned person?", Jungkook was curious.

"You might know her. Kang Hyelin", with that the woman laughed. Jungkook smiled shaking his head at her boastful nature.

For the first time he realized how brilliant this woman was. She was just like Namjoon, fit to be a top Mafia leader. Now he knew why she was called Queen. She really was one. His eyes gleamed as he looked at her, hoping one day he could be like this too.

"Okay Junglecock?", she smirked. He was about to yell at her out of reflex but stopped when he realized it was supposed to be a test. So he kept his mouth shut.

"Very good Kookie"

The man looked at her in surprise. "What!?", the woman replied. "I know all your Hyungs call you Kookie with affection. Can't I too?"

"You are not my Hyung", he scoffed nudging her with his elbow.

"I can be your Hyung if you let me", Hyelin winked at him. Jungkook smiled but shook his head. "I don't want you to be my Hyung but you can be my noona"

Hyelin gasped putting a hand on her chest. "At last! At last! Thank you heavens for this young chap now respects me! Thank you god!", she dramatically yelled while looking at the sky.

Jungkook laughed, his bunny smiled showing and Hyelin smiled at how adorable he looked. "Thank you Noona", he flung his arms around her and Hyelin was taken aback slightly.

"I was mad at you when I realized what you had done but then you saved us all. I can see you like TaeTae a lot. And now I known why he does too. Please keep making him happy. I hate it when Hyung looks sad. And no one should be sad because sad spelled backwards is das and das not good..."

Hyelin laughed patting Jungkook's back as he quoted a meme verbatim. The younger pecked her cheeks tightly, wanting to express his new found love for the older in the moment.

"What the fuck is happening here? And Jeon Jungkook how dare you kiss my girlfriend's cheek?", Taehyung was standing there at the back glaring at the younger before he lunged at him, shaking him by the collar. Jungkook clearly very amused and having fun laughed his heart out until Taehyung resorted to tickling.

"That is my girlfriend you sneaky bunny. Absolutely do not peck her cheeks again or else Hyung will kick you out of this universe"

"No Hyung— I am sorry—ahahah —Hyung— Dont! Stop—You know— ahahahah— I hate being tickled—", followed by panicked laughing. "NOONA! SAVE ME!"

Immediately Hyelin jumped in, pulling away Taehyung from the youngest.

"BABY WHY ARE YOU SIDING WITH HIM?"

"Because Jungkook has the power of anime and Noona on his side", Hyelin answered. Jungkook took the opportunity to push Taehyung to the ground before tickling him. Hyelin followed and soon Taehyung's panic laugh filled the air.

"Hye! Why are you attacking me—STOP TICKLING ME!", Taehyung yelled as the other two paired up against him.

———•••———

"Did Hyelin just choke slam her boyfriend in the garden?", Sua asked Suho as both of them watched from a distance the duo playfully fighting in the garden.

"Seems like it. Ooh—ooh that elbow drop must have hurt", he scrunched his nose as the next moment Hyelin did another WWE move on him and Taehyung groaned clutching his abdomen tightly.

"Should we go and help Taehyung. I mean what is my sister doing to the poor man?", Sua was aghast. "You sure she loves him because it looks like she is mincing him to make a kebab"

"Nah, she is just expressing her love for the opposite gender", Suho chuckled. "Do you know how many times she has choke slammed me into the floor for no reason and said 'I love you Suho. You are my best friend' after? Thats her way of expressing her love for men"

"Daniel is breaking a few bones soon then", Sua chuckled. " So I assume everything is fine and that is just Hyelin is in her natural habitat?"

"Everything is more than fine", the man replied. He then turned to Sua, an evil smirk on his face as he rested his arms sexily on the railing. "How about you also chokeslam me into the bed without the slam part and then we can uhmm uhmm—", he cleared his throat, a sneaky smile on his face.

Sua was taken aback before she smirked herself.

"Oh I'll choke you Junmyeon. I'll choke you just fine", she laughed in an evil way and pushed him back into the room for some freaky time!
