Queen's POV

I stood outside the operation theatre surrounded by Jongdae, Xiumin, Yixing and Luhan. Suho and Tao were sitting on the other side, their clothes clearly stained from Sua's blood. Jongdae's clothes were bloodied as well which made no sense to me. So when Xiumin found me staring at Chen's white shirt stained in red, he spoke.

"Witnesses, we took care of them"

I nodded like I understood. If rumor spread, it wouldn't take time for people to attack our businesses. Sehun, Kai and Kris came back from chasing after them, breathless, and I looked at them hoping they had lead.

"We couldn't find out who the men in the car were", Sehun spoke uncertain of my reaction.

A slap.

His head fell to the side, as my hand raised. Sehun though just apologized.

"You had one job. They got away. And now they will attack again", I said through gritted teeth.

Kris who was behind stepped in as he protectively put Sehun behind so he was no longer in the vicinity of their leader who at the moment seemed very furious.

"But we got some evidence. The car is registered and Jongin got the owner's details. Not only that, it entered a pretty popular hotel's campus which we couldn't get through because its enemy grounds. The Red Bullet in Myeongdong owned by one of our biggest enemies..."

My jaw hardened as I looked at Kris.

"Whose name is the car registered in?"

"Park Jimin", which was followed by silence wherein everyone's blood boiled and breathing went ragged.

"Bangtan did this", he completed.

———•••———

I stood outside Sua's operation theater as I watched the doctors operate inside. A few tears rolled down my eyes.

"Idiot", a word left my mouth. "Always trying to show off your courage. This is what happens to over-smart people. You should have let me take the bullet. I have taken dozens of them before, I would have handled it. But no you had to swoop in and be the older sister you are"

"What a dumb bitch", with that more tears rolled down my eyes as I wiped them harshly.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked back to see Xiumin.

"She will be okay, don't worry. You know how skilled Jinyoung is, he will be successful in the operation"

"I hope so too", I replied.

"What should we do now?", he quizzed. "Bangtan really went there. We can't stay quiet. Its blood for blood now"

A fire erupted in my eyes as I tightly clutched my fist. "They really wanted me dead so bad, they stooped this low. We will give them what they want. Tell everyone Queen is dead. And not only that, tell them Suho will now be the leader of EXO"

"What!?", Xiumin was taken aback. "No we cannot do that. It will make them feel even more powerful"

"We can and we will! If they think I am gone, they will be reckless. You know lets spice things up. Spread the word that you all wanted me dead for long. Raise a hand of friendship to Bangtan. Thank them for killing me. If they want to play this game, we will too. And when they least expect it, turn this against them"

"Doesn't make sense Hyelin", he referred to my real name which he did only when things got pretty serious.

"If we say that I am not dead, they will figure out they shot someone who looked like me. It won't take time for them to put two and two together and figure out that I have a hidden family and a twin who looks exactly like me. I don't want them coming at Sua and Daniel and using them against me. So its best to claim I am dead and the Mafia has moved on"

"Okay makes sense. But what next? We tell them that and Suho pretends to take over. Then what? Where will you hide?", Xiumin was confused.

"I am not hiding anyway. In their eyes Queen died, they have no fucking clue who Sua is. So for the coming few days, I will live as Sua. Going to get the best of both worlds, Hannah Montana style"

"Seems like a plan. Lure them in and then screw them up when time comes", Xiumin smirked. "Sometimes you can be very smart Hyelin", he ruffled my hair like a proud elder brother.

I wanted to speak something more until a phone rang. I looked at a small bag on the side which belonged to Sua. The phone seemed to be ringing from inside it. Xiumin nudged me and I removed the phone. It was Daniel.

"Pick it up", he advised. "If you don't, he will get worried". Without a word I pressed the accept button and placed it on my ear.

"WHERE ARE YOU!? ITS 2. COME HOME RIGHT NOW. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE OLD DOESN'T MEAN YOU GO AROUND DOING AS YOU PLEASE"

Tears wouldn't stop rolling down my eyes as I heard him say this. The poor kid had no idea.

"SUA!"

"Yes", I spoke slowly, trying my best to sound soft like her.

"COME HOME THIS INSTANCE"

"Yes"

With that he cut the phone. Xiumin was looking at me worried.

"How will you make him believe? He will catch you in an instance! The tattoos itself will give you away. Not to mention they have lived together for 18 years now"

"Drop me to their house. I will pick some makeup from the 24 hrs convenience store and change into Sua's clothes. I can't wear that shirt so lend me your jacket for the time. Since the jacket is long, I will only need to cover my finger tattoos"

Xiumin removed his jacket and put it in my hand. I picked up the old clothes which the nurse had put in a tray and changed into them. Sua had short hair so using my knife I cut my locks until they were the same size as hers. With that hair size, I could 99% percent pass as her until I opened my mouth.

When I came out, everyone was shocked to see my long hair gone. "I will drive you to their house", Jongin volunteered.

"Suho, Tao, Kris, Chanyeol and Sehun stay here for the night. Rest of you head to the mansion. Switch shifts in the morning"

They nodded. One last look at the operation theater, I left.

Don't worry Sua, I will avenge your attackers. No one was going to harm my family and get away with it. Bangtan was going to wish they hadn't crossed us.

Third Person POV

Daniel heard the door open and he immediately sat up straight to see his sister enter. She glanced at him but she had a different expression on her face. It was one of curiosity and fear. It didn't seem like Sua. She always had a disgusted look on her face especially with his antiques.

"Where were you!?"

"Out", she spoke very softly only for her to hear.

"What happened to your voice?"

He swore he saw her flinch a little and fiddle with her fingers. "Sore throat"

"Of course! You eat ice! This was bound to happen! Go on, eat one more ice tray", he scoffed.

Hyelin was taken aback as she heard this. Sua ate ice? So she was an idiot and she was also weird!? Who in their right minds ate ice? And that too a whole tray.

Not wanting to answer more of his questions, she immediately walked towards the room.

"HEY WHY ARE YOU GOING INTO MY ROOM!?"

Oh shoot.

She immediately retraced her steps and ran into the one opposite, closing the door behind with a thud. Daniel stood there gaping with his mouth open. What the fuck was wrong with his sister?

———•••———

Queen's POV

Once in the room, I breathed a sigh of relief. If I kept acting this clueless, I was going to get caught by tomorrow morning. I opened Sua's wardrobe as I looked for some fresh clothes.

"Eww, EWWW, EWWW", I said to myself as I looked at the extremely girly clothes inside. Apart from her uniform everything was either in the colors of pink, purple, reds or pastels. No black, brown, gray or navy like I preferred.

I sighed and got something which looked at least decently wearable. Removing the sticky old clothes, I cleaned myself and changed into the new ones. As I sat cross legged on the floor, I noticed my body.

My entire left hand was tattooed and a couple were there on my right arm. A few on the back. There were two on my ribcage as well. Don't ask why that happened because I was drunk and Sehun had a tattoo machine.

For some reason best known to him, he decided to tattoo Yehet and shawty Imma party till the sundown and my drunk self agreed. He too got the same ones done on his back which Kai did for him. Also kindly note, Xiumin or Suho weren't around to monitor me or stop him.

This all needed to be covered. I picked up my phone and called Kyungsoo.

"I need something. Tomorrow, go to one of those fancy beauty department stores and get me strong concealer in the my skin shade. Like at least 10-12 bottles of it to hide the tattoos. This convenience store shit is melting faster than fake bitches put in the sun"

He agreed from the other side and cut the call. Now I just had to devise a plan to stay around without making Daniel suspicious of my activities.

A smile spread on my face as I realized that I finally had the chance to see my own brother and share space with him. Despite how bad the circumstances were, we had finally met. Is this what Sua meant when she said — 'you can meet him when the time is right or wrong?'

He was quite tall in person. And looked exactly like the man they both called father. From what I had seen, me and Sua looked like their mother. Their parents because I was so conveniently given up when I was born. They could never be our parents because they didn't treat me like I was their child.

I shifted to Sua's bed as I thought about what I should do now. Once Bangtan knows I am dead, their first thought will be to conquer what I made. But of course with Suho's presence as leader now, they won't be able to. So they will try to be allies.

I closed my eyes as Namjoon's face came to my mind. "Kim Namjoon, when the sun rises tomorrow you better start counting in reverse. If I don't have you on your knees begging to have mercy for yourself and your boys, burn all my signed albums and BT21 merchandise in front of me"

———•••———

Third Person POV

Everyone stared at Namjoon as utter silence took over the room. He had called for everyone to gather into their office. Namjoon rubbed the nape of his neck, something he did only when he was stressed.

"It does not make sense", Yoongi spoke up. "This is too soon. How did she end up dead?"

"I don't know, I really don't", Namjoon sighed.

"Did you send the people to get her killed?", Jin asked.

"FOR THE FIFTH TIME JIN, I DID NOT SEND ANYBODY TO HAVE HER KILLED!", he snapped.

"So you just received a text message which said Queen is dead!? Out of the blue?", Hoseok questioned Namjoon.

"Yes", the man stated. "It was an unknown number and its untraceable"

"This seems like a ploy", Taehyung who was eating an apple spoke. "She isn't the kind to go down easily. If it is not us, then who else wanted her dead? Jimin just circulated the picture out yesterday. Even before someone could bring information, she turns up dead!"

"I don't know what to think of it—", Namjoon was about to speak until Jungkook cut him off.

"Hyung", the man was gaping at his phone. "He turned it around for all to see. Jimin grabbed the phone as he read the headline"

'Mafia Leader Queen dead. Her right hand Suho to take over as leader of EXO'

The entire room was silent as they heard this. Their biggest enemy had been killed and it wasn't even them.

"What now?", Jin had a nervous look on his face. "If there is someone who managed to pull this, it means they are powerful. We need to know who it is"

"Hyung", Namjoon turned to Yoongi. "Call Suho. Tell him I want to discuss Business. If there really is someone who killed her, then we have to be cautious. Next could be me or one of us. In this case its best if Suho and EXO be our allies and not our enemies"

———•••———

Suho sat by himself in front of Sua's ward. It had been 14 hours since the operation began. His stomach was churning due to nervousness. He felt a pang in his heart as he recalled the events from earlier.

8 years of liking someone and to see them take a bullet.

His phone pinged and he turned it around to see a text message.

It was the Royal temple.

Bangtan had requested a meeting.

He gripped it tightly in anger. They did act like Hyelin said they would. Now the game had really begun.
