Taehyung's POV-

Once we were all together (Yoongi, Koo, Chanyeol, Namjoon, Jin, Hoseok, Chim and myself) in the meeting room tensions were high as we all sat around, glaring at the package on the small table in front of us.

Just as she said, not long after we all got here, Mrs Jeon arrived and I was able to meet her at the side entrance to let her in so Irene's girl, if she was still here, wouldn't see her.

As soon as she came in she dialed Hyuk and spoke with him shortly without putting the phone on speaker yet.

After a minute or two of short Yes's and No's from her into the receiver she handed the phone to me and told me to talk to him while she crouched down to pick up the package, then walked it to the larger table by the door.

"Hello?"

"Yes, hello Taehyung. Is everyone there?"

"Yes."

"Okay, she is going to open the package. Can you please follow her and keep me on the line?"

I do as he says and begin to follow behind her before hearing some movement over my
shoulder.

I turn around to see Yoongi, Koo, Chanyeol and Chim standing up. I lower the phone as I ask them to wait a second before they come over.

Once I'm stood next to Mrs Jeon she begins to open the box, much more slowly then I would have liked her to, until she finally takes the paper off of what looks to be a small wooden picture frame that is face down.

She slowly takes it out and turns it over. Upon seeing the photo she immediately drops it back in the box, takes the phone quickly from my hand before rushing out into the hall with the phone to her ear.

"What the fuck was that?" I hear someone say from behind me followed by someone else asking what is in the box.

Mrs Jeon was standing angled slightly away from me so I didn't get a whole view of what's in the frame, but I do know it was a picture of a few people.

I reach for the box and pull it over so I can see what it is. By this time I can feel that people are standing by me and I look to my left and see Yoongi then to my right to see Chim and Chanyeol.

I pick up the frame to examine it and my jaw drops as I study the photo. I hear Yoongi let out a small gasp beside me as Chanyeol speaks.

"Is that..." he leans a bit closer as do Yoongi, Chim and I so we can really confirm that the individuals in the picture are who they appear to be.

"Who is that?"

Upon hearing his voice the three of us jump before we look behind us to see Koo looking over my shoulder at the picture.

"Is that my mother?"

Mrs Jeon's POV-

"You have to leave. If she really has done the things you say she has then she is going to kill you." I say anxiously into my phone as I pace around the hall frantically.

"It's going to be okay, just tell me what was in the box." He says in a calm tone that does nothing to make me feel any better.

"It was a picture of the three of us after you two completed your basic training. She knows for sure about our connection now. How is this possible?"

"Was it framed?"

"What the hell kind of question is that? Is that important right now?"

"Was it?"

"Yes?"

"And did it look like a copy of a picture or an original?"

"I-it wasn't a photo copy..."

How could she have the original? There are only two and one is mine. Did he-

"That's my photo. So she's been to my house then. She went through my things."

"So you were right. She doesn't trust you anymore."

"She lost trust in me the moment I told her I couldn't find anything on Jungkook. Did you leave the room or are you with everyone right now?"

"I-I um, I'm o-out..." I'm a stuttering mess at this point as my tears are beginning to fall.

This is all too much. I let out a sob as I begin to break down. This whole time I have been holding it together. I have been trying to stay strong and focused and have done nothing but investigate and work all of my connections and I kept coming up short until I finally got in touch with Yonjun, or Hyuk as he is known now.

It was supposed to be easier after I got ahold of him. It was all just supposed to fall into place and although some things did, it mostly just stirred up a bunch of other problems.

How can this be? She was supposed to stop looking. She was supposed to leave Bunny and me alone. She was supposed to have an ounce of common sense and understand that her actions have fucking consequences and that hers would come in the form of military detainment and prosecution, but instead she finds this and sends it to Bunny's apartment?

What if he would have opened it? I wouldn't have had any time to prepare how to tell him what really happened to his father. Who he really was and who I really am.

It's just a mess. A goddamn mess.

"Hey, it's going to be okay. We have enough."

I let out another sob at his attempted reassurance.

"I just don't know if we do. She is much more powerful than we thought. She has all of these connections and friends in high places just so she could keep people away from Yoongi?"

"No," he says curtly.

No?

"What do you mean no?" I ask as I wipe my eyes.

"Why don't we go back into the room. We have a lot to talk about."

Taehyung's POV-

"Bullshit, it wasn't you. You called and said you were friends with his mother. Who else would have known to say that?!" Yoongi growls.

"Her head of security" we hear Hyuk say through the phone.

What, her head of security? That's fucking him!

"What do you mean? I thought you were her head of security." I say as I lean forward to be closer to where the phone is placed on the square coffee table.

We are all sitting on the blue sectional sofa with the table in the middle. Well, all of us but Koo and Mrs Jeon.

When Mrs Jeon came back into the room and Koo saw her he immediately rushed to her, wrapping her tightly in a hug.

She finally broke down. She's been keeping everything inside but she was bound to break at some point and this picture did it.

The two are sat on the ground across the table from me leaning against the couch while Koo has her hand in his and she rests her head against his shoulder.

Her eyes are puffy, her nose red and irritated from the numerous tissues she used to combat her sniffling nose and her makeup is smudged and out of place. I've never seen her so upset.

While Koo was squeezing the life out of her when she came in I took her phone from her and placed it in the table after putting Hyuk on speaker.

The first thing he was asked was if he was there when Koo was attacked and when his answer was no Yoongi immediately spoke up, as expected. I don't think he is going to believe a word that Hyuk has to say, but I don't know if I will be able to either honestly.

And now I'm hearing about a new head of security for Irene? What? As far as I knew Hyuk was her head of security.

"Let me go back and tell you how this started. I am not a body guard for Irene. I never was. I didn't and don't even actually work for her. I work for her parents. Her father to be more specific.

"He is a very successful business man and when his company started to get larger he had sought out individuals with certain skill sets to be in his security detail. I was hired on because of my computer coding and hacking skills. I wasn't ever Irene's muscle man. I was her hacker.

"One day her father asked me to help Irene get some information on other trainees that were competing for spots at the company she was signed to. I did as he asked and once I helped her that first time she kept asking her father to have me do small jobs for her to find information on people.

"The jobs were never large and I never knew who the people were, so I would simply do what was asked. I'd find whatever information on the person I could to send her and then move on with my day working for her father. This happened for years, until she set her sights on Jungkook.

"Like I said, I never knew these people she would give me but when I started looking into him for her and I got a picture I was dumbfounded. He was a spitting image of my best friend.

"I didn't know how it was possible, but I knew this could not just be a coincidence that he looked like him. I had known that Ji- Taehee was pregnant before we lost touch and-"

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Koo suddenly asks, voice sounding harsh and on edge.

We all look at him wide eyed and just as I am about to say something his Mrs Jeon speaks up.

"Bunny..." She says gently as she sits up straight and looks at him. "There are a few things that you don't know the full story about. I can-"

He raises his hand to stop her and we are all taken back by his attitude.

He has been sat quietly with a straight face during this whole call, but right now his aura is completely changed. I can feel the heat coming off of him from here. He is enraged.

He starts to chuckle bitterly as he stands up and heads for the door, his laugh getting louder with every step before leaving the room and slamming the door behind him.

I hate how he does that, laughs when he gets mad enough like a lunatic, but at least it helps us gauge exactly how pissed off he is.

Mrs Jeon starts sobbing after he leaves and Chim moves to kneel down beside her and hugs her as she cries.

I look over at Yoongi to see if he is going to follow him and when we meet eyes he moves his head slightly towards the door, signaling for me to go.

Without hesitating I jump up from the couch and take large steps out the door to follow after him.

Once I get in the hall I have an uneasy feeling as I follow the laughing sound. I pick up my speed and run down the hall and just as I am about to pass by one of the practice rooms I see someone in dark colored clothes hunched over. As I get closer to the window I recognize the clothes. It's Koo.

I slowly open the door and step inside to walk to him. That's when I notice the blood droplets on the ground... then I move my eyes to the mirror next to him and see that it's been hit and has cracked.

"Koo?! What did you do?" I say as rush to him, turning him around to face me.

Once he is facing me I reach for his hand but he moves away from me.

"Do you know?"

"Koo, please let me see your hand." I say desperately as I watch the blood drip from his knuckles onto the floor.

"Do you know what she is going to say?" He says again in a louder voice.

I raise my gaze up to him and give him a look that I hope shows how sorry I am.

"Un-fucking-believable." He scoffs as he backs away until his back hits the mirrored wall behind him.

He slides down to the floor and stares blankly ahead.

"Why didn't I die that day. It would have been better for everyone."

I drop to my knees in front of him. "Don't ever say that again. Ever. We all love you and not one of us would be better off without you, so don't even waste your time thinking that. Now please. Let me see your hand."

When I see his fist clench I know this was not going to be good.

"Koo..." I say slowly as I move my eyes from his hand to his face.

When I meet his eyes they are blazing. The amount of anger going through him right now is not good.

I immediately stand up and prepare myself because I know that look. He is seeing red and he's not thinking rationally.
