Jungkook storms out of the cafeteria.

I run after him, calling for him.

"Jungkook, Jungkook! Please wait!" I finally grab his hand and he turns around.

"What you think is happening with me and Chao. It's not happening. I swear."

His expression slightly softens. "Why do you have his name saved as Papi Chao though?"

"He saved that in my phone and with everything going on, I forgot to change it. I'll change it right now," I gesture to my phone.

He purses his lips. "I don't mean to be intrusive... but what did you guys do in the dark warehouse?"

"Nothing! He just shrieked over a mouse and we finally got out. It was your gang that abandoned us there anyways," I snapped.

"He seems pretty into you though. A lot of guys do," Jungkook says, bitterly.

"I have no idea why Chao's suddenly giving me this weird attention and I've not been leading him on-"

"What the hell are you guys doing? This ain't a kdrama or fanfic. Jungkook, go take pictures and have a brunch with your fiance Minseo. Chop. Chop." Namjoon stands in front of us.

Fiance. He's still engaged to that woman. My heart felt constricted.

"One minute Namjoon-" Jungkook raises his pointer finger.

"NOW! It's Mayor Jeon's orders," Namjoon growls.

"Fine." Jungkook clenches his teeth. "This conversation isn't over."

I have to roll my eyes to the back of my head. A gang leader can't flirt with me but he's still publicly engaged to a politician's daughter.

"Go have fun with your fiance," I stick my tongue out.

"You know that isn't my choice," He dramatically spins around and I start to follow him.

Namjoon grabs my arm, keeping me in place.

"What?" I groan, annoyed.

"You have your own duties to attend to. Besides, why were you hiding those messages from Chao?"

"I-I'm sorry. I was just embarrassed with the weird way Chao texted me-"

"You have not enough dignity to not sustain embarrassment at this point. Were you trying to hide the crucial information of the meeting place?"

"NO why the hell would I do that-"

"The man I'm getting married to is on the brink of death and you withheld crucial details. Seems like you got something against Jin and are secretly working for Chao."

Now it was my turn to become angry. "Namjoon, I'd at least get more evidence besides making crazy accusations like that."

He snorts. "Literally all of the men in the cafeteria are convinced you got a crush on Chao. Am I wrong?"

"Well just because they think that of me doesn't mean it's true-"

"I warned you not to play with Jungkook but you're toying with his feelings like you're a sadistic puppet master. First this guy Taehyung, Jungkook, then Chao... At least let Jungkook know you feel nothing, but you lead him on like he has a chance."

"I-"

"When I called you a whore that day at the cafe, maybe I was right. That's all that you are."

"I'm not-" I clench my teeth.

"People like you are born in the dirt and will return to the dirt," He menacingly says.

"We all return to the dirt, Namjoon," I finally snap.

He smirks like he's hiding a secret. "We'll see about that."

He leaves me in the middle of the hallway.

The thing about anger is that it's such a powerful emotion. And when I felt anger, I also felt sadness. 

I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. But I won't. I will not show them the weakness that they expect of me. As much as I felt broken inside.

Hoseok finally leads me to a giant safe-room where there's tons of cash, jewels and other treasures. Alongside Hoseok, Yoongi and other men working for them, our job was to count everything, place it into briefcases, and load it into the trucks outside of the hotel.

We needed precisely a $100 million to give to Chao. Which was fine by Namjoon. He'd do anything for Jin to be safe again.

After an hour, I was getting worried for Jungkook. I asked Hoseok and Yoongi, and they assured me he's at a restuarant with Minseo. 

I call him but it goes to voicemail.

I decide to text Jungkook.

Y/N: heyy

Y/N: can we talk?

Y/N: im really sorry for being a jerk

Y/N: r u ok?

He didn't even read my messages.

***

It's around 6 pm and we finally sit in one of the trucks. Hoseok, Yoongi, and Namjoon are sitting next to an in front of me, but Jungkook isn't present.

We finally arrive at the abandoned warehouse. It's only fitting the place where Namjoon left us after he tortured Chao is where Chao wants to meet.

I begin unloading the trucks and carry the briefcases indoors, alongside the other gang members.

Someone pokes my shoulder and I look up.

I sigh in relief.

"I-I'm sorry for earlier," Jungkook says, walking beside me.

"NO TALKING!" Namjoon roars. "I have the worst headache right now so I better not hear a peep from you guys."

We wait for him to leave the viscinity. 

"I acted so irrational with you there. Fighting with you hurts me so much," He whispers to me.

"It hurts me too-"

"WILL Y'ALL EVER SHUT UP?" Namjoon pops out of nowhere, takes the gun out of his pocket and points it at us.

Jungkook raises his hands in the air and chuckles. "Chill out, bro."

"WHEN THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE IS ON THE BRINK OF DEATH, YOU WOULDN'T BE CHILL EITHER!" 

Namjoon kicks a briefcase and then grabs his foot, bouncing on one leg.

"OWWWIE! I stubbed my toe," Namjoon pouts.

We try out best to suppress our giggles.

***

With all the Bangtan Boys and the men working for them, we stand together and wait patiently. 7 PM is the designated time for the meeting to take place.

 Suddenly, the dim lights of the warehouse turn off and then the warehouse brightens. 

Chao and his gang are right in front of us, staring, menacingly.

"Where the hell is Jin?" Namjoon demands, not even bothering to ask how he got here in a flash.

Chao smirks. "Here he is."

Jin steps next to Chao. He's blindfolded, masking his face with a neutral expression. 

One of Chao's men has the barrel of a gun placed against Jin's temple.

"I can't lie, Namjoon. Your love for Jin is quite admirable. When you confessed your feelings to him in front of the whole world, I was quite touched. And when you tortured me, I knew I had to steal someone important from you."

Namjoon clenches his teeth. "Just take the money and jewels and give him to me."

Chao ignores him and continues his rambling. 

"I must admit it was also quite a surprise to see the infamous heartless Jeon Jungkook get engaged to Minseo, but I guess even beasts can get tamed by people they care about-"

Jungkook quickly glances towards me.

"Oh, I see..." Chao says to himself.

"Forget about the money," Chao's lips curl into a devilish smile.

"Huh?" Namjoon is confused and we all look around at each other. 

Namjoon asks, "You don't want the $100 million? What the hell do you want then?" 

"I'll give you Jin.. if you give me Y/N."
