A few days pass by and they have been rather long for both Taehyung and Jungkook. After the beautiful day they spend together, Jungkook left. He told his lover that it would take him almost a week to solve this problem and during that week, he won't be able to stay in touch with him. When he goes on missions, he doesn't carry his phone.

Mingyu has accompanied Jungkook too and therefore, he has been out of reach as well. Everything was okay during that week. It was bearable at least. But it's been already three days since the week got over, which means, ten days have already passed since he met his hyung and his lover. Since then, there has been no communication between them and Taehyung cannot help but feel scared. All the time, he keeps wondering what's going on, how they are and stuff but he could not get any information regarding it.

"Hyung! We're here." Beomgyu announces. Presently, the artist is going to Seoul with his secretary. He has been invited by his own university to speak to the students about his success and how he achieved that.

This moment is really something big in Taehyung's life. It's like a dream to go and talk about his success at the place from where it all began. But he is not able to enjoy the feeling because he is so worried.

"Gyu, did you try talking to hyung?" He asks the younger as the car comes to a stop. The secretary shakes his head and another way of disappointment washes over Taehyung.

"But I did talk to Joshua hyung. Luckily I was able to reach him." Beomgyu announces. Taehyung looks at him with a wide smile on his face. "Really?"

"Yes."

"What did he say?"

"He said that... somehow Im Changkyun found out that the Orion and the Yakuza have shaken hands against him. So he ran away and it got a little difficult for them to relocate him. They did it today though. Apparently, there were rats in both of our gangs who informed Changkyun." The younger informs. Taehyung's eyes look stern as if he is mad.

"Rats? Did they kill them or not?" The brunette asks, gritting his teeth. The secretary chuckles and nods, "They burnt them alive."

Taehyung sighs, reclining in his seat. "Good." He says.

"Anyway, they are going to make the final move tonight. All this should be over soon." Beomgyu tells him. The brunette nods, "Can't wait."

"Let's go now hyung. It's time for our flight." The younger says. Taehyung nods and looks out of the window. They have already reached the airport. He can clearly see some of his fans standing outside, probably waiting for him, with a camera in their hands.

The last thing he wants to deal with right now is chaos. He hopes he reaches the flight without having any weird fan episodes.

-----------------------------

At night...

There is only darkness around them, the moonlight being the only source of light. Jungkook and Mingyu are standing with their teams a few meters away from an abandoned building. Their target would be inside soon. Both the mafia leaders have a very dark expression on their faces. They look dangerous and so ready to kill.

"Listen everyone. Don't make a single mistake. We got this opportunity after a lot of hardships and we can't let it go. So just... focus okay? Don't mess it up." Jungkook whispers but sternly at the men who are with him.

"He's right. Just be motivated by thinking that if we get rid of this threat, we would be a lot safer than we're now since Changkyun is using the help of the other organised crime groups." The older mafia boss says. Everyone nods their heads.

"So I'll repeat the plan for one last time." Jimin says and looks at the men around them. "Team A will be taking care of the guards outside. Team B will be taking care of the secret entry area at the backside. Joshua will be leading team A and I'll be leading team B."

"The rest of you are going to be with Mingyu and Jungkook. You're going to make sure that our leaders are safe even though I'm pretty sure they're more than capable of keeping themselves safe." Joshua tells them. Everyone nods and soon, it's time.

The time when Changkyun would be coming back from wherever he went. They see the guards greeting him, totally being unaware of the fact that they are being watched by their worst enemies.

"Let's go." Jungkook commands and immediately, the teams split.

---------------------------------

Taehyung sighs as he goes through some of his paperwork. For some unknown reason, he feels scared. He has this unsettling feeling regarding this whole situation. He knows that the Orion and Yakuza are strong groups and if they're together, they can actually do wonders. But the fact that a huge number of organised crime groups are against them does not make him feel at ease at all.

"Taehyungie hyung, stop being so nervous." Beomgyu says. Even though he is worried himself, he is trying not to panic just for Taehyung's sake.

"I can't help it, Gyu." Taehyung sighs. "You know they said that... that by this time it would be over. Their mission was supposed to be over an hour and a half ago. But still there is no news about it. You have no idea how hard it is for me. My brother is out there and so is my... my love." Taehyung says the last line in a mere whisper.

Despite the situation, a smile forms on Beomgyu's face. "Finally you accepted that, huh hyung?"

After realising what the other is talking about, Taehyung smiles shyly. "I've always known that. I just didn't want to accept it because if I did, it would be hard for me to live without him. And when it got too much and I missed him a lot-"

"You slept around." Beomgyu says on his behalf. The brunette nods his head. That's exactly what he did. But he doesn't want to think about it henceforth. Jungkook and he decided that they would put all of this behind and move forward in their lives.

"By the way hyung, are you planning to give Jungkook hyung a ring too?" The younger asks, eyeing at the shiny object that the older is wearing.

Smiling, Taehyung nods. He puts his hand in the pocket of his jeans and pulls out a ring from it. Beomgyu's eyes widen when he sees it. "You seem to be well prepared for it." He chuckles.

"Yes. I'm going to give this to him when he least expects it. I'm going to give it to him when he comes back." Taehyung smiles.

The younger squeals, "That's amazing! The two of you make a hot couple." He claps his hands and Taehyung feels so hyped up. The two of them talk for some more time, hoping that the time would pass sooner that way.

But the sounds of their happy laughter gets interrupted by Beomgyu's phone which suddenly rings. His eyebrows come together when he sees the caller id of Yoongi being displayed on his phone screen. Lately the inner circle of the Yakuza and the Orion have been working together closely hence they have been contacting each other all the time.

With a frown, Beomgyu answers the phone. Taehyung doesn't know why his heart starts beating erratically. He doesn't have a good feeling about it.

"Hey, hyung. What's the matter?" The younger asks.

"Hey Beomgyu. I called you to inform you something." Yoongi says and even though the phone is not on speaker, Taehyung can clearly hear his voice from the other side of the phone since the room is so quiet.

Taehyung snatches the phone from Beomgyu's hand, not being able to deal with the suspense. "What is it?" He asks.

"Taehyung, do you know about the traitors found in our groups?" Yoongi asks. Taehyung tells him that he does.

"Well, the Orion was able to catch the betrayer and take care of him but the Yakuza wasn't able to do the same." He informs. Taehyung frowns. Didn't Beomgyu tell him that they caught the traitors and burnt them alive?

"What do you mean, hyung?"

"What I mean is, the person Yakuza punished was framed. He was falsely accused by the real traitor--- that's my assumption but I do know who the real traitor is." The older says. Taehyung's eyes widen and his entire body starts shaking badly.

"W-What do you know, hyung?" He asks, not knowing if he really wants to hear the answer or not.

"You know, Tae, Jungkook and Jimin are wearing specs right now. Specs that have a camera fitted in them. I can clearly see what's going on in that building by just sitting behind my computer." Yoongi tells him. Taehyung can hear the sound of the keyboard buttons getting pressed.

"What did you see?"

"The traitor from your gang shot Mingyu." Yoongi tells him and the artist feels as if his heart just stopped. His brother got injured. Again.

"Oh, oh my God. Is h-hyung okay? Wh-Where did he get shot?" Taehyung asks, barely holding the phone properly in his hand as they are trembling terribly.

"Now, now, Tae. You might need to calm down. This isn't even the worst part." Yoongi says. The younger gulps. He holds Beomgyu's hand with his other shaking hand, bracing himself for what's about to come.

"Who is the traitor?" He asks through clenched teeth.

"Someone really close to your brother."

"For fuck's sake, hyung! Tell me who it is." He asks, his tone completely annoyed.

"It's his right hand man." Yoongi says. The phone slips from his hand. He had thought about something bad but not something as worse as this.

Beomgyu, on the other hand, has a hand clapsed over his mouth. This is like a bomb dropped on the both of them.

"I'll make sure that fucking son of a bitch pays." Taehyung grits his teeth, voice spitting venom and for the first time in his life, even Beomgyu feels scared for him.

----------------------------------

"J-Jungkook, just go. I'll take c-care of myself." Mingyu tells him. He is half laying, half sitting on the floor in a corner. His one hand is covering the gunshot wound on his stomach while the other hand is pressing his bicep that got shot too.

"I don't think I can leave you like this. Your right hand man turned out to be a fucking backstabber. So we don't know what they must've planned for you." Jungkook says. Truth be told, over the past few days, he and Mingyu became sort of friends. They began trusting each other and helping each other. Both of them are each other's first friend in the mafia world.

"Jungkook, don't be weak. Don't for-forget your mission. Keep in mind why we came here. You g-gotta kill Changkyun f-first." The older male says, hissing in pain from time to time.

"You're right. But please just take care, okay. I'll send Jimin and-" Jungkook gets interrupted when he is held by an iron like grip from behind.

Before he can even see the person who is holding him, a harsh punch lands on his face, taking him off guard. It was so sudden. He wasn't prepared.

He stumbles back a little but stabilises himself with the support of the wall. He shakes his head a few times to clear up his vision. When he looks up, he sees none other than Im Changkyun standing in front of him with a sinister smirk on his face.

"Aww... what happened to the mafia king? Couldn't even handle a punch? How pathetic." He mocks at him. Jungkook clenches his jaw in rage.

"Why are you doing this Im?" He asks.

Changkyun rolls his eyes, "If you weren't able to find that out yet bro, you're really slow and dumb."

The words 'slow' and 'dumb' ignite a fire within Jungkook. All he sees is red. How dare a mere gang leader call the most powerful mafia boss that?

"I dare you to repeat." He tilts his head, giving a challenging look to the other.

"I don't think I need to. Time for talking is over. Now come on and fight me so that I kill you and get the power I've always wanted." Changkyun states. Jungkook looks around and sees his men standing at a decent distance from him but in a circle. They already have guns in their hands and Jungkook knows that he is in danger. The opposite gang has clearly outnumbered them. His men are busy fighting the other's men and that is preventing them from coming here.

"If you're a real man, Im, I dare you to fight me. One to one. If a self proclaimed powerful underworld leader cannot fight his own fights, then he is not really powerful." Jungkook mocks at him and that clearly does the trick.

The other man thinks for a while and then gestures his men to put their guns down. "Okay, Jeon. Let's have a one to one fight." He smirks, feeling confident enough because he has trained for years for this moment.

With that being said, he launches himself at the ravenette. His hands go around his waist and turns him harshly, trying to lock their legs so that Jungkook would trip and fall.

But the ravenette grabs a fistful of his hair and pulls him harshly, so harsh that the other thinks his scalp would get detached from his head.

Jungkook uses his other hand to grab his throat and presses it hard. He makes sure to not let air pass down to his lungs as his nails dig deep into his skin.

"YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD GET AWAY AFTER BETRAYING ME? YOU THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU LIVE, HUH? YOU REALLY THOUGHT YOU COULD GET MY POSITION? IT'S SO FUNNY." Jungkook shouts in his ears so loudly that Changkyun thinks they would bleed.

The ravenette gets the advantage when the other is not able to function properly because of the lack of air. He slams his head into the wall, making sure that his head bleeds.

"Years and years of training but you can't still fight back. How pathetic are you exactly?" Jungkook mocks him and kicks him with full strength into his stomach.

Hurt is clearly evident on Changkyun's face but he tries to get up. His efforts go in vain though when the other simply kicks him again, making him fall on the ground.

Changkyun feels pathetic. He trained for years but still the other is throwing him in all the directions like he is nothing but the dirt of his shoe.

He gets angry again but he is in too much pain to actually do anything. So he does what he can do best in a situation like this. He grabs one leg of Jungkook and pulls it with all the strength he has. And this time, he is successful as the ravenette falls on the floor with a loud thud.

Changkyun immediately signals one of his men to throw a gun towards him. He already sat on top of the ravenette with his two fingers trying to poke his eyes, making him feel like a blind person and that makes him feel so helpless.

"Now game over, Jeon." Changkyun laughs. Jungkook's hands pry in the air, trying to remove Changkyun from on top of him but its not really easy for him. It's hard when one of the senses you rely so much on are taken away from you.

Changkyun points the gun at the ravenette's forehead. The cool object sends shivers down his entire body.

Jungkook knows that today is the end of him. He's going to die today. His entire life flashes in front of his eyes. He remembers his dad and feels bad for disappointing him. He thinks about his inner circle, his best friends who are his family. He thinks about Bam whom he loves a lot and lastly, he thinks about Taehyung.

That man has brought nothing but happiness in his life. He has been his source of happiness since their college days. How weird is fate? He had thought that once all this gets over, he and Taehyung would live happily. Heck, he even gave him a ring. Maybe this is a sign--- that we shouldn't plan so much ahead of ourselves, specially when it's related to happiness. You don't know when the dark clouds would cover the sun.

Jungkook gulps, apologising to all his near and dear ones in his head because they are going to be sad for him. He hears the trigger being pulled and two drops of tears slide down his eyes.

I'm sorry for not keeping my promise, Taehyung. He says in his mind and a gunshot is heard right after that.
