Taehyung's POV

"You are kidding me right. I mean this, this—", I was out of words as I saw the slip which Hyelin just handed to me.

"We can talk about this Taehyung. Lets get back to my room. Daniel might hear us"

With that both of us jumped out of the balcony and headed towards Hyelin's room.

"Remember at the warehouse? Yifan did not come. But the moment I was trying to escape from there, something hit me", with that she removed a golden pendant for me to see. "This is Yifan's. That is when I had my first doubt. So today I raided his room to find any evidence of his ties. I didn't find anything but this slip came in my hands"

I looked at the slip before I crumpled it in my hands. "I am not fucking letting him go", with that I removed the gun as I headed to the door.

"Get back inside", Hyelin jumped at me, dragging me back into the room. "Are you out of your mind?"

"Out of my mind!?", I yelled. "The fucker that killed Namjoon's family is here and you want me to stay calm!?"

"Taehyung. He is involved but he might not have been the one to put the knife. Leo was. This slips says he went to Ilsan a few days before the murder. Not on that day. Don't be rash in your decision"

"DOESN'T MATTER", I yelled back. "ONLY THING I SEE IS THAT HE DID IT. OR HE WAS INVOLVED"

"TAEHYUNG!", she held me by the collars and shook my body. "You know what! Do one thing. Go shout all of this outside Yifan's room so he knows what we are planning. Go be even more loud. I don't think he has heard you yet!", she pushed me.

I straightened myself, calming down a little and she murmured harsh words under her breath.

"I have to tell Namjoon", I said. "He has to know"

"No", Hyelin's eyes widened. "Not now. He has barely gotten to trust us. Not now please"

"What do you mean not now? He has the right to know. Its his family that was killed. Do you understand what he has been through?", there was anger dripping in my voice despite the fact that I did not want to fight with her.

Her eyes clouded. "I know what he has been through because up till last month my own sister was fighting for her life in the hospital. And it was your man LEO that tried to kill my sister. I sympathize with Namjoon but we have to wait for the perfect opportunity to involve them"

"There is no perfect opportunity", I chuckled sarcastically. "We wait? For what? So one of your other members can also bloom to their final form and become a two timing traitor or something? Did you really run this group because it seems like you had no idea what your own members were upto"

Fuck.

I should learn how to control my mouth.

Hyelin's eyes went from astounded to blank to hurt within seconds before they watered. "Yes Taehyung, I get it. I am dumb. Anything else you got to say? Then say it now. You have insulted me this much, might as well say whatever else that is left"

With that she stood up and head to the bathroom. She closed the door with a thud and I sighed. Shit man, I shouldn't have said it. I heard soft sobs from inside and my heart shattered. I stood up as I went in to see her sitting by the bathtub with her legs curled up.

"Go away Taehyung. This is all too difficult for me as well. Coming to terms with the fact that one of my trusted aids is betraying me like this. I get it you are angry but just don't say hurtful things"

I said nothing but wrapped my arms around her from behind. The sobs were killing me on the inside so I tightened my hold and gently placed a kiss on her shoulder.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean it. I wanted to just put my frustration into words and yelled anything mindlessly"

The sobs stopped and she turned. I was surprised as I heard hiccups.

"What", she deadpanned. "I get hiccups every time I cry"

"Cute", I mumbled before holding her face. Maybe it was my gigantic hands or her small face but I managed to engulf it whole. I swiped my thumb over her glistening cheeks, wiping the tears.

"I am sorry Hyelin. You are not dumb. That would be the last word I would ever use for you. Its just after hearing about Yifan, my mind went into shut down mode. All I wanted to do was kill him. Seeing the image of Jin and Namjoon crying made me weak and I lost sense of judgement"

"Its okay", she sniffled. "I understand. And don't worry. Yifan is very dear to me but more than him I value loyalty. For my and for Namjoon's sake, I will do what is right. Even if that means stopping Yifan"

She clearly seemed like she did not want to say kill Yifan.

I nodded, tucking the stray hair behind her ears. She smiled a little and her eyes gleamed. My heart filled with warmth as I kept looking at her. It was a wonderful feeling. Being in love and having someone to look at this way.

"We will do things your way. I fully trust you. So give the command, and your knight will do it, my Queen"

She chuckled at the wordplay and I smiled before pressing my lips onto hers. She was still for a second before kissing back. A small kiss turned into a passionate one as I felt her tugging on my hair. My hands roamed her body before settling on her lower back.

I motioned for her to wrap her legs around mine and she did. I picked her up and walked into the bedroom, gently placing her on the bed before climbing over.

She tugged on the collar of my shirt, pulling me closer. I parted my lips from hers before gently pushing my lips against her cheek and moving down to her jaw.

"Taehyung..", she stopped me and looked me into the eyes. I stopped because I thought she didn't want to go further.

"You sure?", she asked. I was taken aback at this absurd question. "Do I have your consent? Because you have mine"

"What?", I chuckled lightly.

"See I am okay with the title of a murderer, a ruthless Mafia boss, a bitch or whatever. But one thing I would hate being called is a rapist. So I always like to ask men if they agree to this. Because no one really takes into account their consent. And sometimes they don't want it. So I like to ask if they want to proceed voluntarily"

I would be lying if I said I wasn't expecting this shit at all. No girl had asked me this before. Now that I recalled, Layla had forced herself on me so many times. And so had other women I was with before. When I refused they would still press me to do it, rub theirs hand over my lower body to arouse me. And despite my mind not wanting the sex, my body would betray me and I would be forced to indulge in things.

An appreciative smile formed on my face. "I want it", I said. "I really want you"

"All right then", she nodded before pulling me down again. I chuckled against her lips as she kissed me. My hands found the hem of her turtleneck as I tugged on it. She raised her hands and I pulled it over leaving her only in her bra.

"Damn it baby", the words left my mouth at the sight of her beautiful body as I kissed her neck and then worked my way down to the collar bones.

My hands roamed all of her body, feeling each and every tattoo, gliding over the black ink. She too unbuttoned my shirt and I let it slide over leaving me bare chested.

"Taehyung", she called for me and I looked up. She pushed me away slightly as her eyes stayed glued on the chest. I looked down and saw here staring at the blue dragon tattoo on my chest. It started from my ribcage and then went all the way towards the back, covering most of it.

"This tattoo", her fingers traced it. Without a word she removed her pants. My eyes widened as I saw a similar tattoo at her hip bone. It was majestic and rested beautifully against her olive skin.

"You were the man with the matching blue tattoo", she said gaping. "Did you get this done at the black rose tattoo shop in Itaewon?"

"Yes, but wait. How do you know? Oh shit", I stopped. "TJ, the owner, told me five years ago about how a lady came and made him design something which was coincidentally very similar to mine. You—So it was you all this time"

"He showed yours to me. I couldn't see the face. Just the tattoo and I fell in love with your art the moment I saw it. Even he was surprised about how accurately our tats turned out", she said with a smile.

"No way", I chuckled. "It looks beautiful on you", a word left my mouth as I caressed the skin. When I looked up to meet her eyes, there was a spark in them.

"So matching tattoos even before we liked each other. Hmm", she laughed as I kissed her. "Guess we really were meant to be", I replied.

With that we fell on the bed. Every piece of clothing left the body as it fell on the side. I explored every inch of her body, marking it as mine and loving it as tenderly as I could. Within minutes, sinful voices filled the room. The voices of love, passion and longing.
A wave of pleasure surged my body and I looked to see Hyelin close her eyes as well. Both of us panting for air. I kissed her for the last time.

"I love you Tae", she softly spoke.

"I love too Hye", I answered before taking her into my arms, our bodies curled together as we drifted to sleep.
