XXIX

Hana POV

Good morning to myself and my boyfriend who's been snoring like a bear since midnight.

"Jungkook?"

"Oh? Hmm..." he looks around, startled by my voice. And then goes back to sleep.

"God, are you hibernating Kook?? Get up, look it's already twelve in the noon!" at that though, he springs up on the bed and yells,

"I'm up! I'm awake...what..." I giggle when he looks at the clock in front of us.

"It's not even nine AM, Hana. Let me sleep." aw that voice! But no, we can't be sleeping for long.

"Kook, get up already! They might call us down for a sudden talk anytime." I say and watch him stir himself awake, groaning slightly in annoyance.

"Fine. You're right. I'm going to go freshen up first though!"

"Alright, you big baby bunny." I say and slap his butt when he stands up by the bedside. His turns around at my giggle and brings that huge fist, clenched, up to his chest. A threat, any normal human could perceive that is but everything he is doing lately has been extremely adorable to me.

So again, I giggle under the covers.

"Don't fall asleep!"

"Don't worry, I won't betray you!" he finally goes into the bath after I yell back at him.

Well. I didn't say I wasn't going to take a nap so...

"Before I begin anything, what's wrong with Jeon? Why the long face bro?" Taehyung implies whilst standing on the side of a projector to start the presentation.

"She betrayed me." his hot finger points at me and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Jungkook.

"Taehyung, it's silly. Leave him be."

"No it's not!" he throws a tantrum by hitting the table with his open palms that I chuckled at. Now that, wasn't supposed to be adorable but it was to me!

"She betrayed me!"

"Tae, it's just lover's quarrels. Let's start your explanation, shall we??" Jimin, the closest to Jungkook pats his thigh and Taehyung breathes in before heaving a sigh.

"Right. So as you all know, we've been put into a very unstable situation and I cannot guarantee full safety of anyone. That is unless you defy the rules coming up."

My eyes widen.

When has Taehyung been so bossy?? Is this the way he talks to his employees in a meeting? Because that surely sounds very authoritative and strong in my opinion. (Let's not forget I'm a boss of a company myself)

"Rule number one; your trips to the outside of these compound walls are restricted for the next few weeks. The only movement from the outside is a commodity truck which has its rare schedule appearances, like, once in awhile for our weekly needs. Rule number two; everyone, and I mean everyone," he looks at me specifically and I raise my eyebrows in surprise before rolling them at him."

"—has to know how to use a gun. The first rule to success is never underestimate your enemy. And also, never expect anyone to help you while you're at war. You're all by yourself if the situation arises." he now looks at Yungmi who is also shocked but nods her head curtly. Unlike my reaction.

"And lastly, rule number three..."

Oh cut the crap, brother. Say it quickly!

"If you notice anything abnormal, let me know right away. You can inform Helen too but I thought you all will be comfortable opening up to me. Got it?"

"Yes!"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah bro!"

"That's nice. What's the info now?" Namjoon's question is answered when the lights dim out and the projector flashes it's colours on the screen.

"This, is Peter Monroe. International security breach hacker, and Yungmi's admirer."

"The fuck??" is my first impulsive words.

"I know what you all are thinking. So let me explain first." The table is silenced once Taehyung's booming voice speaks up.

"This guy has apparently settled in Seoul a few long years ago and willed to make acquaintances with Mrs.Helen right here. Well, it didn't go too well but he had somehow gained interest on my baby. He wished for her hand in marriage. It was a peaceful and quiet step from his side but Mrs.Helen right here made it a big bad fight."

"The worst day ever in my life." I heard Yungmi murmur and held her shaking hand in mine, squeezing it reassuringly.

"Look, he started it. I was just trying to protect my daughter. He had bad intentions." Helen defends herself, and Taehyung looked pissed.

"How could you know!?" he snapped.

"I just knew it okay!?" she snapped back. Before it could turn into a nasty cat fight, I slip in and stopped them.

"Taehyung! Stop right there. You can't go around saying she's done something wrong and clearly, she was trying to protect Yungmi." I say, my hand on his heaving chest which scared me.

"If she could've only talked a but nicer—"

"ENOUGH!" I flinch at the sudden shout. It was Jungkook who looked like he was seeing red, his hand on the table and expression beyond scary.

"That's enough, both of you! Now get back to your seats and continue your shit before I make you all regret everything."

Now that's a threat. Though I wonder how is he going to go against the most powerful mafia woman and the all the more famous and powerful Gucci CEO.

Taehyung takes in a deep breath and Yungmi holds his hand. I see the anger fade away from his facade and a soft look being replaced.

That was the cutest shit I've witnessed until now.

"Peter Monroe...he's been planning our assault on us and capture Yungmi since months. We have our sources, and I'm so sorry to say this but he is a step ahead of us." I gasp, and so do the others.

"The threat written on the wall that day at your apartment girls... It was he himself. He wrote those words with his own fucking blood and that's disgusting."

Oh my god.

Thinking about it, I thought of how close he was to acclaim Yungmi that day. I shiver at that and almost burst into tears of fear.

"A-are you okay?" but more than myself, I was concerned about Yungmi who looked so shocked, as if she realised what I was just thinking about.

"Momma...I'm scared..." she seeks her mother's comfort and I let her be. It's alright if she pushed my hand away and went to weep in her mother's shoulder. By this, I understand that Yungmi is truly her mother's Princess and she is the younger's Queen.
