The room is silent. Everyone is looking at the ravenette with curiosity. Taehyung bites his lower lip when he notices Jungkook's expressions turning more serious than they already were. His eyebrow have creased together and his jaw is clenched firmly. In simple words, he looks angry.

Jungkook clutches his phone tightly in his hand. It's tight to the point that his knuckles turn white. More than anything else, Taehyung is now worried for him.

"Make sure to find out each and every little detail about that snake, hyung. I need to know everything; why he did what he did and why is he a fucking backstabber." Jungkook says through gritted teeth. He then removes the phone from his ear. Everyone looks at him in anticipation, not wanting to say anything first because they don't want to anger the ravenette more than he already is.

A loud crashing noise is heard caused by the phone Jungkook just threw towards the wall. Taehyung flinches, now getting seriously worried. "J-Jungkook..." He stands up to walk in his direction but when he moves towards him, Jimin holds his hand to stop him and shakes his head.

"B-But-" Taehyung tries to say something but they hear Jungkook's agitated voice.

"That fucking asshole! I'm gonna kill him! I'll kill him!" Jungkook says through gritted teeth. His hands make their way to his hair and he pulls at them in anger.

Taehyung sucks in a breath seeing this state of Jungkook. He frees his hand from Jimin's hold and quickly makes his way towards the other. "Jungkook...." He says softly, wanting him to pay attention on him and only him.

The ravenette looks at him, ready to snap but when he meets his worried eyes, he is not able to bring himself to do that. Taehyung slowly raises his hands and holds Jungkook's. He tries to untangle then from his hair. "Don't do that. You'll hurt yourself." He whispers.

Jungkook, as if he is paralysed, just keeps looking at him. Taehyung possesses a whole different kind of beauty. He is so beautiful that he does not even seem real. But out there in the garden, he looked so hot while speaking those dirty words. He had Jungkook under his spell then. He still has him under his spell which helps him calm the raging anger within him.

"Oh trust me, Taehyung, after knowing what I found out, a little hair pulling cannot hurt me. That person has hurt me more." He says. He's so troubled. But he tries to calm down for Taehyung's sake and also for the sake of being able to talk about this. He won't be able to talk if he is angry.

"Take deep breaths, yeah? In this field of work, people do backstab for power. Don't let it affect you too much. You'll feel sad and hurt but don't let it make a long term impact on your life." Taehyung whispers, standing extremely close to him. He makes random circular patterns on the back of his hand to calm him down.

The others present in the room look at them with mild surprise. Well, except Jimin. He is aware about how strongly the two males feel for each other. Mingyu, on the other hand, loves this interaction. He can clearly see love in both their eyes and he honestly feels happy. His brother is old enough to fall in love. He has grown so much and so quickly. It's sad that he could hardly watch him grow but he is proud of the man he grew up to be.

"Are you ready to talk about it, Kookie?" Taehyung asks. The ravenette nods his head and turns around. He looks at everyone who look at him with full attention.

"So who was that, Kook?" Jimin asks. Jungkook looks at him and sighs, "You were right about not liking Im Changkyun, Jimin."

Jimin's eyes bulge out of their sockets. Mingyu's does too but Jimin is more shocked. He never liked Im Changkyun. He always got this weird vibe from Changkyun that told him that he was not trustworthy at all.

"Are you saying that that fucker was behind all this?" Jimin asks, still not being able to absorb the shock.

Jungkook nods and looks at Taehyung, "Namjoon hyung told me that the blood sample and fingerprints you sent to us matched with Son Hyun-woo. He uses the alias Shownu. He works in Changkyun's inner circle. He was here in Japan on the day you guys got attacked." Jungkook says while making an eye contact with Mingyu.

The older leader nods as the flashbacks from the day of the attack come in front of his eyes. It was indeed painful. He was worried sick for his parents. He was also thankful that Taehyung was not with them. He was with Jungkook instead and he knew he was safe.

"He did some more digging and we found out that... that asshole was also spotted on the day our Japan hideout got attacked." Jungkook says. Jimin raises his eyebrows while clenching his teeth. "So Changkyun was behind all this? I fucking hate him!" He says, voice full of anger. Jungkook nods his head, "I think so. Our spy present there confirmed it."

Jimin nods again. Jungkook looks at his best friend carefully and tilts his head, "But the important question is--- how come we have a spy in Changkyun's gang? I never ordered anyone to go there." He asks the question while narrowing his eyes.

Jimin chuckles nervously, rubbing the back of his neck, "It was m-me."

"You did that?" Jungkook looks surprised.

"Yeah, I did. We have an alliance with them but I never fully trusted them--- specially that Im Changkyun, remember?" Jungkook nods at Jimin's words while others listen to them carefully.

"Whenever I used to say that he doesn't look like a trustworthy person, you never believed me so I... decided to, you know, threaten someone from his gang and appointed him to keep an eye on them just recently." The shorter male says while staring at the ground.

"But still, Jimin, you should've discussed this with me. I'm the boss of Orion and I have no fucking clue that-" Jungkook tries to make Jimin understand but he gets cut off by Mr. Kim who says in a calm voice, "It's funny how you think getting mad at Park would be helpful when we should be trying to do something about that Changkyun guy, Jeon."

Taehyung nods at his father's words. He looks at Jungkook and says, "Please don't get angry at Jimin, Kookie. He had a spy there who gave us the correct information." Jungkook nods. They are right. He should've believed Jimin but he always thought he just disliked Changkyun because of his 'know it all attitude' and his annoying personality. But his intuition was right.

Jungkook sighs, "I'm sorry, Chim. Thank you for appointing a spy there and also ask him to keep us updated about their next moves." He says. Jimin smiles and nods.

Jungkook looks at Mingyu and walks closer to him, "Do you think we should work against that fucker together?" He asks.

The older mafia leader smiles at him and extends his hand for a handshake. Jungkook holds his hand and they shake their hands firmly. "Definitely." Is what Mingyu says and Taehyung smiles, loving this interaction a lot.

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

It's pretty late at night when the meeting finally ends. Mingyu, Jimin, Joshua, Mr. Kim and Jungkook discussed a lot among themselves, trying to figure out a plan to remove the thorn named 'Im Changkyun' from their path. Taehyung had left the room before they started discussing all this. He thought that since Mingyu is awake now, he does not need to do much. He does not know much about running a mafia anyway.

Jungkook tiredly walks towards his car. He wants nothing but to lay down on his comfortable bed and sleep peacefully. He needs to sleep to take his mind off from the stress he's having lately.

"Jungkook!" He hears his favourite voice from behind him followed by the sound of footsteps. He quickly turns around and sees Taehyung jogging towards him.

"Wait a minute!" Taehyung squeaks while waving his hand up in the air. This cute scene brings a smile on Jungkook's face. Taehyung stops in front of him and smiles his famous box-like smile.

"Someone looks happy." Jungkook chuckles. Taehyung nods his head and quickly holds his hand. "I'm happy, Jungkook. You don't know how excited it made me when I saw you shake hands with my hyung. I just hope that... someday both of you would... become friends, you know?"

The ravenette raises his eyebrows, "You want me and Mingyu to be friends?"

Taehyung nods, "Don't you think it would be much easier that way?"

Jungkook nods. Yes, it would be. Mingyu appears to be very open minded as well, unlike his father.

"By the way, Jungkook, it's really late at night. Why don't you have dinner here before leaving?" Taehyung proposes. Jungkook thinks for a while and he wants nothing but for him to say 'yes'. He wants to spend more time with him.

"You want me to s-stay for d-dinner?" Jungkook asks, pointing at himself. He cannot believe it. Taehyung has finally started talking normally with him and he is so happy about it. He is so happy that he could scream at the top of his lungs right now. But he tries to contain his excitement. He does not want the other to get weirded out.

"Yes, Kookie. Please stay for dinner." Taehyung requests. His one hand is still holding Jungkook's hand while his other hand goes up to cup his jaw.

"Hmm... As much as I want to, I can't."

"But why?" A cute pout forms on Taehyung's face.

"You see, I'm in the territory of another mafia group. As much as I'd love to have dinner with you, I can't let my guard down just yet--- not until I fully trust your brother, baby." Jungkook explains. Taehyung pouts more aggressively. He never thought about this. He never thought that his food could be poisoned when he was at the Orion. Well, even though he was really mad at Jungkook, he trusted him to not kill him at least. He knows that it could've been a foolish thought but hey, he always tries to stay away from gang related stuff.

"That's sad. I can't argue with you on this." Taehyung mumbles, taking a few more steps closer to him. Jungkook stares at him deeply, loving the feeling of having Taehyung so close to him. He doesn't want to go back. He wants to stay with him for dinner, or for the night. But he knows this is not possible. Not now, at least.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you something." Jungkook whispers in a very low voice. He doesn't need to raise it because Taehyung is very close to him and he can easily hear him talk.

"What is it?"

"Your bag that I ordered my man to discard--- well, it wasn't discarded. I had it with me all this time. Before coming here, I gave it to your secretary. So ask him if you still want it." He tells him. The artist is so surprised. When Jungkook had brought his own dress for him to wear, that he had bought for him himself, he was so surprised. The dress was in the bag that Jungkook had ordered to be thrown away. But it turns out that he had kept his bag with him safely all this time. That's where the dress came from. Taehyung is so happy. He was infuriated at Jungkook then but now, all he can feel is--- love.

He holds the collar of Jungkook's shirt and pulls him closer to himself. "Kiss me, Kookie." He whispers against his lips. Jungkook feels his breath getting knocked out of his lungs.

He bends down, his lips against the brunette's cheek, brushing it lightly---and still that light touch sends shivers through his nerves, shivers that makes his whole body tremble.

"If you want me to stop, tell me now," the ravenette whispers. He is not sure if Taehyung really wants to kiss him when anyone from his gang could appear any moment. When the artist still says nothing, Jungkook brushes his mouth against the hollow of his neck. "Or now." He traces the line of his cheekbone. "Or now." His lips are against the artist's.

"Or---"

But Taehyung himself reaches up and pulls him more towards his face. The rest of the ravenette's words get lost against his mouth.

Jungkook kisses Taehyung gently, carefully, but it isn’t gentleness that he wants. Not now, not after all this time. So the brunette knots his fists in the mafia boss's shirt, pulling him harder against himself. He groans softly and then his arms circle around Taehyung's waist, gathering him against himself. Their hands are all over each other, their bodies tangled together while still kissing.

~•~•~•~•~

Hey lovelies!! Any thoughts about Taekook or Jimin in this chapter? Mingyu and Jungkook will be working together. How do you think it would turn out? And no all your guesses were wrong. Mr. Kim wasn't behind all this. NEITHER WAS TAEHYUNG. I saw someone saying Taehyung might be the one behind this lmao. If you don't remember Changkyun, go back to the 4th chap. Also I was wondering if I should publish all the leftover chapters in one go. Tell me what you think about it please. I'm confused.

AND---
