BYUN 's mansion

"Tomorrow's the mission. Are you guys ready?" Haesung asked everyone.

"Yes. I am ready to potentially die." Yoongi smiled.

"Nothing will go wrong. We've been over the plan millions of times, said Huening

So the plan is,

Okay so Leo, Yeojun and Jimin, will come in from the back and place the bombs around the building putting 30 minutes on the bomb's timer. Huening and Soobin will unlock the chamber and it's your responsibility to keep goods safe, and Yoongi will control our security lock doors and will speak into the earpiece you'll all have on when it's time to get out. Taehyun will stay at home with Layla .

And lastly Sweetheart, all you do is act accordingly as we planned. Try to follow as much as you can if it's not necessary don't try to rush okay" dad reminded me.

"And Me and Taehyung , we will stay on the rooftop. You and I will keep our eyes on Domanio and his men. Both Aella and Taehyung exchange a look towards each other Taehyung nodded his head in assurances.

He was hella angry on Aella but once he talk with her and see her all his anger flew out of the window when Aella give her a lovely hug and apologize to him again by telling her the actual reason and Taehyung immediately melt surely this girl have too much power to control this man how can he be angry to the person who is soo dearest to him, and the way she said sorry to him he immediately forgot everything and he also realized that she should deserve some time to be herself at that situation after all she is handling the whole ass Mafia of her dear father.

Flashback

A/N POV

AELLA was trying to concentrate on her work. Currently she is reading some business files in her office room for the late night meeting with her American clients but at the same time she was looking visibly upset, closing the file she got up from her seat and started to pace around the room. She knows she needs to talk to Taehyung after the heated argument with Minho earlier yesterday night. Without wasting a second Aella grabs her phone and dials Taehyung's number. The phone rings, and he finally answers.

AELLA: Hey, Taehyung... I need to talk to you.

On the other side

Taehyung is looking slightly angry but he chooses to listen to her. Taking a deep breath he spoke.

TAEHYUNG: What is it, Darling?

AELLA: I'm really sorry about not being able to see you off yesterday. The argument with Minho just got so intense, and then me and dad were discussing something really serious and I lost track of time. I know it's not an excuse, but I want you to understand that work has been overwhelming lately. I didn't mean to neglect you, it's just I'm too disturb to understand that I will hurt you tae I'm really sorry On the other hand Taehyung's expression softens as he listens to Aella's sincere apology.

TAEHYUNG: Darling I get it. I was upset, not angry with you but I also understand that sometimes things don't go as planned. It's just that I missed you, I want to see you before I leave your mansion.

Aella closed her eyes and took a deep breath and said Thank you for understanding, love I promise to make it up to you. How about we plan something special after the mission?

Taehyung smiled on the other end of the line and said that sounds great, darling. Let's put this behind us and focus on making our mission together. I just want to be your strength not your weakness.

Aella feels relieved and grateful for Taehyung's Taehyung I'm lucky to have you in my life and yes you are the greatest strength of my life .

TAEHYUNG: I feel the same way too darling. I'll see you after 2 hours.

Aella and Taehyung hang up, both knowing that their love and communication will help them overcome any obstacles in their relationship.

Flashback ends..

Present Time

Aella 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.

"Yeojun

The said man immediately looked up, wiping his glistening cheeks, scared at being approached like this." He stood up quickly and asked," Noona

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

"I am sorry Yeonjun"

The younger one was surprised, not expecting an apology and looked towards Aella for mere seconds to look at a sincere expression on Aella's face.

Yeonjun 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 at Minho Hyung nor you but I'm mad at myself.

Leaving us in America and coming back it's natural for you. You have enemies everywhere and you have to look at the whole daam Mafia including us. I am mad at myself 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 Minho Hyung, did and sometimes I'm that it might take the whole group down"

There was pure silence, while Aella sat beside him in silence but the silence broke when Aella started to speak

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

"22", the younger replied.

"And when did you join TXT?"

"5 years ago. I was 17"

"Exactly", Aella spoke. "You are still starting out. You are young. In my 8 years of running EXO, I was getting beaten up left, right and center. At your age I couldn't shoot as well as you do. I made stupid decisions which sometimes cost our Mafia money as well as men. I was 19 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 Suho 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?"Yeojun was suddenly interested.

"Nothing. I learnt from it. We all learnt from it. I became more cautious. You know I think 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.

Not only you, he betrayed the whole Exo members, and it's proof of how good he is at fooling everyone. Yeojun chuckled and so did Aella. She looked at him as he was looking down to his feet. She placed her hand around his shoulder. "I bet TXT is very proud of you. Huening 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 one nodded, overwhelmed at these motivating words. Aella ruffled his soft hair and he smiled. 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?"Yeonjun was curious.

"You might know her. BYUN AELLA", with that the woman laughed. Yeonjun smiled, shaking his head at her boastful nature.

For the first time he realized how brilliant this woman was. She was just like her father Haesung, 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 and the ice finally breaking between the two after so long.

So, now you and Taehyung Hyung, both of you are finally together ??

Aella, frowned at this sudden statement but she answered we are just friends and business partners . I don't think that Taehyung Hyung thought like you do, said Yeonjun.

Why ?? Ask Aella

Well "just friends" don't steal the secret glances of the other one. "Just friends' don't get jealous when the other talks to someone else. Just friends don't hold each other like that while Aella chuckle, but Yeonjun continued to speak

"When boss told me what Bambam and Sehun did with us and somewhere Minho Hyung is also up to something then I actually realized, literally from the start he doesn't want you to get close to Bangtan despite from the truth he know that you love Taehyung Hyung too much what you had done you saved us all.

But you know Noona the way he got out furiously yesterday it's obvious he was hella angry on you but today he was all normal and his eyes always tell the truth but sometimes he couldn't express himself And now I know why he likes you alot.

Aella smiled and said, "Do you really observe him this much??

Isn't obvious to observe we all are hearing about him from fucking 5 years, how do you even control yourself?? Ask Yeonjun

Love will teach you everything when you will find the right person, young man, Just the way you are doing, I'm right yejo ??

You, know i before Yeojun could speak Aella said that you love Jiah and wanted to spend life with her but you are too scared to tell this to her and specially Jin oppa, obviously I know, the time when I got to know about his intentions i'm secretly protecting you, Ara, Jiah and Rosy from him. That was the only reason I shifted all you to our main mansion.

That's means Noona don't know about Jungkook's craziness towards Ara I think it's the correct time to tell her everything

Yeojun was about to say but both of your conversations were interrupted when Haesung called you.

Sweetheart, both Aella and Yeojun turn to see Haesung, JIMIN and Taehyung are standing together a few meters away from them in the garden.Both of them went towards Haesung sweetheart. Do you mind if we take Yeojun for some time? We want to talk with him about the mission

Yeah sure, why wouldn't I mind? Cherry Leo called Aella. He is standing a few meters away from the garden in the front yard section of the house.

Cherry come on you need to attain that online meeting it's time come on .

Yeah coming, Aella turns towards the men's okay guys see at lunch time I have to rush with her running inside the house while the younger one looks at Taehyung with a suspicious look.

Okay gentlemen's, I will leave you alone with that Haesung also leave the place immediately.

What do you want to talk about ?? Yeonjun asked

JIMIN: I'm the one who wants to talk to you, pale Jimin said with an assuring smile while Taehyung is watching him with a cold expression though he is too young but still he felt a bit jealous when he saw Aella engulfed him in a side hug.

So, how many years have you been in this mafia line, Yeojun ?? JIMIN asked to cool down the situation as he is very well known to Taehyung's possessive side towards Aella.

For 5 years Yeonjun said this by diverting his gaze towards Jimin.

Ohh I see, said Jimin, I heard you are the best shooter of your team and you do handle all the bomb squad when your gang deals with other mafia isn't it??

Yeah you heard it right, said Yeojun and I do know some hacking skills too just for emergencies.okay I just wanted to talk to you because it's first time I'm working with a team with you and Aella so it's just a way to get to know each other you know that I mean right pale ??

Ohh yes, I totally agree with you and you will have a great time tomorrow don't worry, it's so much fun to be on a mission with Noona .

Yeah we are looking forward to it too said Jimin so I should take my leave I have to prepare some stuffs with that he turn and start to leave, but he halts in his place and he turn and looked at Taehyung and said

"You don't love Noona don't you," Yeojun whispered, but it was enough for Jimin and Taehyung to hear. "A person like us is like a sin, Don't think that" but Taehyung simply raised his eyebrows he didn't expect this boy to be smart but his next statement made Taehyung a little bit tense smirking Just shut it, if Boss ever know about your intentions you will rot in hell for sure , this time he shot a little bit which made Jimin stunned to speak but there is no fear in Taehyung 's eyes he just don't like when anyone tried to snatch her an awkward silence appeared in between but finally Taehyung break it with same intensity and rage a rage that can burn anyone who will dare to come in between them he exactly knows that this person will surely send this message to them

Taehyung 's Pov

"So be it then," I say. "I will walk into hell gladly because you know I walked towards him. I glared at him, and he gave me equal force that I've got heaven in my hands. And I don't care where it takes me too if she is with me I can go any length to be with her, because you know why I lean towards him and whisper in his ears tell this to your Minho Hyung that she is destined to be with Kim Taehyung with that
"Come on Jimin, I grab Jimin's hand and we both leave the place leaving the younger one dumbfounded.

To be continued.
