"I awake with the black night

Everyone coming in, who's turn is it next?

It's an unpredictable, crazy guerilla

Bow down in worship till your voice explodes

Switch up this loser atmosphere

So, they can't hide this insanity

The dignity of men, the pretense of women

It's interesting to see this kind of unknown confidence

As I'm showing off,

I shamelessly dig into your body like an allergy

Swarming around in a strange mind

Today, this place is lawless

I'll set this place on fire to burn up your heart

I wanna make you go crazy

B.I.G yeah we bang like this

Everyone together

Like you've been shot

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Bang bang bang!

Nobody move (x4)

Let's see the end of this night, see the end."

-Bang Bang Bang

BigBang

~Somewhere outside Seoul~

"Do you think they'll attack today?" One of Inferno's men asked the other, standing ready to fight.

"I guess! The informer, he's never wrong about news in Bullet-Proof." The other said, taking a puff out of his cigarette. They were on the borders of the mansion, like a hundred more guards.

Guarding Suho, Baekhyun and Woohyun and also, in an attempt to buy some time for the men inside as they prepared themselves for the upcoming battle.

The night, it was like any other night, if not a bit extra quiet. The Shin Mansion was a long way outside Seoul and was always kept away from the interference of the police and legal authorities.

Bullet-Proof had Woohyun to thank for this, like it or not. Woohyun had connections all over the authorities of SK and he had decided to keep all of the matters related to Inferno and Bullet-Proof out of the authorities.

He had somehow made this night, easier.

The air kept on getting thicker and the night was getting deeper, while the guards stood ready for absolutely anything to happen.

Things were soo calm that they almost doubted if something was to happen.

The boots of the security guards thumped against the polished tiled courtyard of the mansion.

One of the men walked inside to deliver the hourly report to the Master himself.

Woohyun sat on his chair, in the middle of the huge room, dressed in his finest suits while Suho and Baekhyun sat around him dressed similar to him.

"Master Suho! Master Baekhyun!" He bowed to the two boys, then he kneeled in front of Woohyun before saying "Master Woohyun!"

"Any sign of Bullet-Proof?" Baekhyun asked, fiddling with the collar of his high neck sweater.

"No Master! Everything was silent and peaceful since the past hour."

Baekhyun checked his watch, a sign of disapproval etching all over his face.

"Father, it's way past the mid night! Should we proceed?" He looked at Woohyun who appeared in deep thought.

"Let's wait for another hour. If they do not arrive, prepare for the attack!" Woohyun ordered making the man bow to all three of them again and leave.

"What made them not come? What do you think, Father?" Suho asked, looking at Woohyun.

"That is up to them, my son! But, that means things just got easier of us. Finally, I will see the end of Kim Seok Joon and his son, Kim Seok Jin!" Woohyun hissed, his usually stone cold face now twisted in a horrible scowl.

"Prepare yourself boys! We are gonna see the end of the ones who dared to try and level with us."

With that terrible conclusion, he left the room, as usual leaving traces of his malicious aura in it.

"What is with your father and Seok Joon?" Baekhyun looked at Suho, who had also gotten up.

"Something about unfinished business, dunno! Anyway, you ready?" He grabbed his guns and knives before hooking them up with his belt.

"Yeah, that I am." Baekhyun said, revealing his belt equipped with explosive weapons and knives.

"Pray to heaven our plans work!" Suho heaved, pinching the muscle between his brow.

"You look disturbed?" Sarang looked up from the balcony, where she was leaning one her palms her red hair emitting a ghostly red aura around her, making her look almost like a crimson witch.

"Why do you care anyways?" She looked away from the disrupter.

"Look, I know you're mad at me and want to have nothing to do with me but I have something of you."

Saying this Scarlet brought out the long shinning blade from her back and took off the sheath.

"I know this was your favorite and that you had no choice but to leave this behind."

Sarang picked up the blade, shinning against the dim glow emitting from the moon. This was something Sarang had earned for herself.

This belonged to one of the past enemies of Inferno, which she'd earned for herself after defeating Baekhyun in a hand-to-hand combat.

The katana was silver hilted and a long ribbon of blood red, the exact same color of her hair, hanged loose from the hilt.

The sheath was of black leather and it had a red ribbon wrapped in a twisted pattern.

"How'd you get this?" Sarang looked up at Lee Min.

Not Scarlet but her best friend, Rim Lee Min.

"Let's just say, I was told to pass this on to you." Lee Min said, feeling like she was seeing her best friend after such a long time.

The same, excited Sarang who used to jump around the practice room, every time she got a move right.

"I know you can't forgive me for what I've done to you but I hope you understand why I did that."

A smile crept up Sarang's lips as she looked at Lee Min.

"So, you still like Baekhyun?" Sarang's question made the street fighter's cheeks go wild red.

Back in the days when Sarang and Lee Min were friends, she used to sit hours into listening Lee Min go on and on about how handsome Baekhyun looked each hundredth time while he passed Min on the training room.

Together Suho and Baekhyun persuaded Min to reveal whatever they knew about Sarang after she ran away for the first time.

Min, blinded and intimated by the both of them, blabbered out everything to them.

The after effects of which Sarang still bears on her shoulder.

"I never stopped, not after, you know!" Lee Min blushed, smiling softly.

"You obliged to their commands and did what they told you to do, I respect you and your decisions and you don't have to apologize to me." Sarang got up.

"Oh, you two are here!" It was Namjoon, his hands stuffed in his pocket while Yoongi walked in, a lollipop making a good substitute for the cancer stick.

"Any updates?" He looked at Scarlet. "They'll leave in an hour." She nodded, looking at the darkening night.

"Alert everyone to be prepared, Yoongi Hyung. We need to leave in 30 minutes." Yoongi nodded, lazily shuffling back in.

"Do you think this will work?" Namjoon looked at Sarang, whose red hair was flying all around the place.

"You have placed your trust in me. It's dangerous true; but I believe you know it better than me, that there are always gonna be risks. But, if things do get haywire, I'll take care of it. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Sarang walked away, holding the katana on her hand, her red hair flying, behind.

"Are we doing the correct thing trusting her?" Namjoon asked as Yoongi walked in.

"She has the Kim genes running in her veins. She's Jin Hyung's sister and you know, loyalty is something that is genetically mapped in their DNAs. Moreover, it more of her loss than ours. If she betrays us, she loses Jin Hyung and Jimin both."

Scarlet smirked, shaking her head. "This girl is gonna die than loose those two, Persian cat!"

Yoongi's eyes turned steel hard at the nickname and he glared at Scarlet.
"Do you ever quit it, woman?" Yoongi asked, trying very hard not fight with her.

"No I don't. Do you ever stop?" Scarlet asked, looking at Yoongi.

"I didn't even start and; Shut up if you don't want me to start!" He warned, walking away to get ready.

"Do you two ever get off each other's necks?" Namjoon asked, smiling.

"It's sadistic pleasure Kim. Now get ready! We have to be there, before they get here." With that, Scarlet walked away.

She was busy fixing her shirt when he walked in. The Love of her life. Looking like the angel of death in his black turtle neck and black leather jeans.

"Who does that belong to?" Jimin asked, pointing at the sheathed katana on the bed.

"Mine." Sarang said, trying her hardest not to look at the red headed man because she knew that the second she would, the tears that she'd been holding in would not listen to her anymore and flow down her cheeks.

"Didn't know my baby could use this too." Jimin came and back hugged her, his eyes automatically going to her neck, where the finger marks that Mizuki made, was still quite fresh.

"You scared?" Jimin asked, softly kissing the marks on her neck.

"Yes, I am scared. I'm scared I'm gonna end up losing you or Jin Oppa, or anyone of you boys, I can't. I can't lose you guys." Sarang leant her head back, to rest against Jimin's shoulder.

"I see my baby does not trust me." Jimin smiled, holding her close to his chest.

"Of course I do Jimin. But, Woohyun, he's crazy! And, he is not going to stop at anything to get what he wants." Sarang whispered against his neck.

"My baby, your fear, it's justified. But, remember! Who that old shit is going against? You brother, he's already crazy mad at him for this." Jimin removed the shirt from Sarang's dried up bullet wound on his shoulder.

"And, I am personally going to shoot 3 bullets in his shoulder. The same spot!" Jimin kissed the dried up wound.

"Jimin, why would you do that?" Sarang looked at him, her eyes wide.

"I can do that and much worse baby! Shin Woohyun has a lot of unsettled accounts with Bullet-Proof. And, hurting you, has angered both me and Jin Hyung. He'll have to pay a heavy price."

Jimin kissed Sarang's lips and then, just held her close.

"Jimin, once this is all done, we'll tell Oppa about us, okay?" Sarang said, against his lips.

"Okay baby! Now, let me help you." Jimin walked away to the sheathed katana and gestured the red head to turn around and then, he put the katana on her back.

When she turned around, her red hair flowing in the speedy wind making its way inside the room through the open window, her eyes glassy and hooded and her lips parted, Jimin felt his heart contract and that was what made him do what he did.

He grabbed her waist and smashed his lips against hers and kissed her, hard.
As though he was trying to convey his longing for her through the hungry movements of his tongue. Sarang reciprocated just fine, and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding onto the red head for dear life.

They both separated and Jimin kissed her forehead.

"I'll end this for you baby! For you, for us, for our family. Then, it's just you and me."

Sarang laughed and said, "No, We'll end this. Together. Side by side."

And, then?
Then they smiled.

"Are we all set?" Hoseok asked, fixing his belt which was loaded with his guns.

"Yes we are." Taehyung replied.

"Jungkook, are the other units on position?" Jin asked, grabbing his knives and fixing them to his thighs.

"Yes Hyung! The EXO and Got7 units are already there, while the TXT unit is on their way. They'll be there, by the time we reach." Jungkook replied checking his phone.

"Good! Now, Jimin and Yoongi Hyung, have all the security systems set and locked?" Namjoon asked, looking the shorty's combo.

"Yes Hyung! We've programmed them just as you said and set them all around the house."

Now they looked at Jongin, who had sworn loyalty to Bullet-Proof.

"You do know what to do don't you?" Hae asked, while loading her machine gun just enough.

"Yes I do. You can trust me on that." Sarang looked at Hae amused and impressed.

The playfulness and the hint of mischief was still written over Jongin's face but the seriousness in his eyes and voice was something that Sarang had only dreamt of hearing.

That guy sure had changed for good. And, Sarang was happy for him.

"We will leave separately. While you leave with Hae, Sarang and Scarlet. I swear to God, Kim Jongin if anything funny happens, I'll castrate you." Hoseok threatened, making the boy smile and nod.

"Do not worry! I'll take care of these beautiful ladies!" Jongin smiled, the silver ornament aka the handcuff now missing.

"Let's move ya'all!" Namjoon ordered, grabbing his sunglasses.

They had only 10 minutes till the hour ended.

They had to leave this temporary base before then.

They had gathered beside the cars, just looking at each other.

"Let's finish this together, guys." Jin said, holding Sarang with one arm while the other was placed atop of 6 other palms.

"Let's!" Jimin responded.

It was do or die now.
