Y/N was admitted to the hospital the night of the attack.

Taehyun kept pressing his friends for answers but they didn't have any.

"I remember her saying someone was trying to sabotage the tournament but I thought she was just jealous." Yeonjun said looking at Taehyun.

Taehyun ran a stressed hand through his black hair.

The doctor walked in making Taehyun and his friends look up.

"She's fine." He said making everyone relieved. "She has a minor concussion but she's awake now."

Taehyun thanked the doctor before he and his friends came rushing to her room.

Y/N was sitting up looking around. She had a bandage around her head as she looked at the five boys who bursted into hospital room.

"Jeez you could've knocked." She said and crossed her arms.

Taehyun walked over to her bed side. "Y/N I need you to tell me what happened."

Y/N looked at him. "When you went up to fight I noticed a guy walking onto the platform, only he wasn't a stage hand." She looked away from him. "I went up to see him cutting the wire on that karate metal thing. But I know this was an attack from Yuka. When I confronted him I saw the snake tattoo on his neck."

"So it was an attempt to kill Taehyun."Soobin said.

Y/N nodded. "I was able to stop him but he got flung into the wire and it cut. After that he ran away."

Taehyun nodded listening to everything as he walked away from her bedside.

Yeonjun stopped him from walking out. "Woah dude you can't just walk away."

Taehyun looked at him. "I need to get answers. This attack is a big deal."

Yeonjun narrowed his eyes at him. "Look she saved your life, she's at least owed a thanks."

Taehyun looked at his other friends as they all nodded and left the room, leaving him alone.

Y/N looked over at him and Taehyun turned around. He grabbed a waiting chair and pulled it up to her bedside before sitting.

"Thank you...for you know saving me." Taehyun said softly.

Y/N shrugged. "I was just helping."

Taehyun looked at her as she gazed back at him. "I know we don't necessarily like each other but it means a lot to me."

Y/N looked down at her hands as she gave him her first genuine smile. "Your welcome, you're not too bad. Just annoys me I've got to keep this wrap on my head for a week!" She groaned.

Taehyun laughed and slipped off her bedside.

"So what are you going to do? I'm sure this is only foreshadowing the worst that's to come." Y/N said.

Taehyun shook his head. "I don't know. One thing for certain is everyone has to be on high alert now. We've got a target on our backs, especially you." Taehyun said poking her nose.

Y/N scrunched her nose. "Don't touch me asshole."

"And we're back to normal." Taehyun sighed. "So when did the doctor say you're discharged?"

"He said I can go home in a few days. They have to monitor my brain function or whatever to make sure everything is healing properly."

Taehyun got up and put the chair back. "Well don't push yourself too hard. We still need you y'know." He said with a small smile.

"Yeah yeah I know I'm awesome now can you leave, I need a nap." Y/N complained.

Taehyun and left the room as he sighed. Suddenly, her smile flashed in his mind. He brushed it off and went back to his friends.

A Few Days Later;

Tuesday rolled around and Y/N was finally allowed to leave to the hospital.

"Finally! Gosh the only thing they serve you there is pudding." She said making a disgusted face. "I think I ate so much I'm now partially pudding."

Beomgyu laughed loudly as they made their way into school.

"Hey have you seen Sunghoon? I haven't seen him since the tournament on Saturday."

Beomgyu shook his head. "Nope, maybe he got too spooked by the whole incident. Plus I think he pissed himself when the karate metal thing fell."

Y/N rolled her eyes. "Beomgyu."

He turned to her. "Yeah?"

"Shut up would ya?" She said walking ahead of him.

"Fine then, meany." He said following after her.

"Oh my goodness Y/N are you okay!?" Yunjin came over. "I heard you got injured at the karate tournament!"

"I'm fine Yunjin just a small bump in the head." She reassured her friend.

Yunjin sighed. "Sheesh it looks like you got stuck in a crazy rave."

Y/N glared at her. "I'd look fine if I could take off this stupid bandage." She sighed. "Anyway have you seen Sunghoon?"

"Oh yeah I just passed by him, though he looked really stressed about something."

"I'm telling you, he's stressin because he was pissin-"

"Okay Beomgyu we get it!" Y/N snapped at him making him put up his hands in defense.

"Did you see where he went?" She asked Yunjin.

"Nah just passed him briefly. Though don't you have literature with him?"

"Yeah, I'll see him then."

Yunjin nodded as she checked the time. "Well I've got to go, bye." She said as she walked away.

"Alright Beomgyu I'm heading to class." Y/N said gripping her backpack.

"Whatever see ya later loser." He made a peace sign and left.

Y/N made a confused face before she left for her literature class.

She walked in to see both Taehyun and Sunghoon missing.

"Hm that's weird." She said putting her bag down.

Sunghoon and Taehyun were still no shows and it was getting kinda concerning.

Suddenly, Sunghoon came shuffling in with just seconds to spare as he took a seat.

Y/N raised a brow at his behavior as Mr. Han started attendance.

Y/N felt the table vibrate as she looked at what caused it. She picked up her phone and saw it was a message from Sunghoon addressed to both her and Taehyun.

"I need to talk to you both...please meet me after class in the auditorium."

Y/N looked at Sunghoon as she texted back an 'okay'. Just a few minutes later Taehyun replied with an 'alright'.

'Well this should be interesting...' Y/N thought as she slumped back in her chair as Mr. Han continued his rant about two opposing books.

Soon class was over. Y/N adjusted her bandage as she noticed Sunghoon basically sprint out of the room. She sighed watching him go as she picked up her stuff.

She made her way to the auditorium where she found it empty. She made her way to the stage when Sunghoon came around the corner.

"Sunghoon what's this all about?" Y/N asked,

Sunghoon kept quiet until Taehyun came.

"Alright I'm here can we make this fast I have business to attend to." Taehyun said crossing his arms.

Sunghoon gulped and looked at the two. "Are you guys in the mafia?"

Y/N was taken aback by the question as she glanced at Taehyun.

"I-I know it's wrong to assume things but the day I overheard your friend Yeonjun say you're going to a bank in the middle of the night, then you were tired the next day which basically confirmed my suspicion that you did go, then the karate tournament I-"

"Yes we're in the mafia." Taehyun said bluntly.

"What are you doing!?" Y/N hissed looking at him.

"There's no point trying to lie to him, he's already figured out enough." Taehyun said looking at her.

"I can't believe it." Sunghoon said with wide surprised eyes.

"Sunghoon you can't tell anyone. It's a secret." Y/N said walking over to him.

"She's right, you can't tell a soul. If you do you well I'm sure you know how mafias handle people who disobey them." Taehyun said coldly before he left.

Y/N watched him leave before turning to Sunghoon. "He's kidding...mostly. But seriously you can't say a peep, not even to Yunjin."

Sunghoon nodded his head. "I-I know...I just can't believe I was right."

Y/N snickered. "Yeah I found out not too long ago. You know for a 'secret' mafia they don't do a good job at keeping it 'a secret'."

"So what was happening that night at the tournament?" Sunghoon asked.

"A guy who works for another guy was trying to kill Taehyun with the metal karate guy."

Sunghoon made an 'o' with his mouth.

"Kinda sucks though. Taehyun won't be able to complete for months since the ring is basically destroyed."

"Taehyun's not apart of the team anymore." Sunghoon said.

"What? He's not!" Y/N said confused,

Sunghoon shook his head. "I over heard that Shiwoo guy say that he quit the day after the tournament."

"Wow...I didn't expect him to do that."

"I don't think anyone did."

"I've got to talk to him. Bye Sunghoon and remember keep the your mouth shut!" She said before she left the auditorium.

Sunghoon nodded. "Trust me I will. Taehyun's scary shit."

Y/N walked out and looked around for Taehyun before she spotted the familiar black hair. She jogged up to him and stopped him.

"Why did you quit the team?" She asked making him stop and turn around.

"I don't have time to be doing karate. I have to focus on this." Taehyun said beginning to walk again.

Y/N rushed in front of him to force him to stop. "Look I know you're stressed about the whole Yuka situation but you seemed so excited to join the team and-"

"I only joined because I knew it would make you mad!" Taehyun blurted out.

Y/N was a bit stunned. "You joined because you knew I'd be angry?" She said asked, her tone rising.

"Yeah I did." He replied while crossing his arms.

Y/N clenched her fists. "Wow you're such an asshole." She said coldly before shoving past him.

"Y/N I-" Taehyun turned around and called after her.

"You knew how much I wanted that spot!" She yelled at him.

"It was a decision I made in the moment." Taehyun argued back.

"Doesn't make it any better." Y/N glared at him and left.

Taehyun took in a breath. "Whatever I don't have time for her drama."

At the Boy's Dorm:

"Taehyun you've been going through every single bank file that's ever existed! Give yourself a break man." Soobin said sitting on the couch.

"I can't until I find out what Yuka's planning. If he's trying to eliminate us it means we found something we weren't supposed to." Taehyun said digging through more documents.

"Seriously, sit down for a bit. I know it's stressful but usually you're calm about these types of things. What's got you so worked up now?"

Taehyun sighed and looked at his friend. "I got into a fight with Y/N."

"Well that's nothing new." Soobin laughed.

"Yeah but I actually feel bad about this one. Y'know after she saved me and all."

Soobin stopped laughing at sighed. "What did you two fight about?

"When we beat those bullies up and I got offered the spot on the karate team, I only took in because I knew it would make her mad."

"Well that was a pretty dick move. She wouldn't stop going on about how hard she worked for that spot-" He noticed Taehyun's face getting more distressed. "I'll stop talking."

"She just gets on my nerves sometimes so I wanted to do something to get back at her." Taehyun said walking over and sitting on the couch next to Soobin,

"Have you tried apologizing?"

"I was going to but she called me an asshole and walked away." Taehyun said digging his hands into his hair.

Soobin got up and placed his hand on his shoulder. "If you ever get the chance, tell her you're sorry." He left the dorm leaving Taehyun to ponder on that thought.

"Gosh I hate it when he's right." Taehyun flopped his head back against the couch.

With Y/N:

Y/N was sitting the college park which was basically a small area with a cute little fountain in the middle.

She was sitting on the edge watching the ripples in the water.

"Didn't think I'd ever see you again."

Y/N looked up and tilted her head. "I'm sorry but do I know you?"

The guy laughed and sat down. "I'm Taeyong. Taehyun and I were on the same karate team."

Y/N gave a small laugh. "Oh yeah, sorry."

"How's your head?" He asked.

Y/N shrugged. "It's alright I guess. The only annoying part is this." She said pointing to her bandages.

Taeyong laughed. "Yeah that seems like it would suck."

"Not to be rude or anything but is there a particular reason as to why you're here?" Y/N asked him.

Taeyong gulped. "Actually I was here to ask you if you wanted to go on a date with me."

Y/N raised her brows in surprise. "Really? But you barely know me."

"I mean we could go on a date and get to know each other." Taeyong rubbed his neck awkwardly.

From the distance, Taehyun could see Y/N's H/C hair. He got closer gaining the courage to apologize to her when he saw Taeyong.

"I'm sorry Taeyong but I'll have to decl-"

"Hey guys!" Taehyun said eyeing Taeyong.

Taeyong and Y/N looked up ay see him. "Hey Taehyun, I haven't seen you since the tournament how you've been?"

"Fine, just splendid." Taehyun said with a fake smile.

Y/N looked away from him back to Taeyong.

"Hey Taeyong could I actually talk to Y/N alone for a moment?"

Y/N snapped her head back up in Taehyun's direction after he said that.

Taeyong looked at Y/N then at Taehyun. "Sure I guess." He said getting up and leaving.

Taehyun took his spot on the ledge.

Y/N rolled her eyes. "What do you want Taehyun? I'm not the mood for you right now."

Taehyun sighed. "I figured." He looked her straight in the eye. "I wanted to say I'm sorry, it was pretty stupid of me to do something just to make you mad."

Y/N raised a brow. "Is this an actual genuine apology."

"Yes it's an actual apology." Taehyun said bluntly,

Y/N thought for a moment. "I mean you are right it was pretty stupid of you." She looked away from him for a second before turning back to him.

"But?" Taehyun encouraged.

"But I forgive you." Y/N said with a small smile.

Taehyun returned a similar smile. "Thanks for forgiving me I guess."

Y/N looked down at her lap.

"Also what did Taeyong want?" Taehyun asked pretty much already knowing the answer.

Y/N sighed. "He came to ask me out. It was kinda weird though, I barely know the guy."

Taehyun let out a breath. "He told me he likes feisty girls."

"Oh I'm more than feisty."

Taehyun rolled his eyes. "Yeah I'm aware."

Both of them got up.

"I have one thing though." Y/N said turning to Taehyun.

"What is it?" He asked.

"In order for me to fully 100% forgive you I need to do this." She kicked his gut and pushed him into the fountain.

Taehyun gasped as he reemerged from the water. He shook off his wet hair.

Y/N laughed and showed off her genuine smile rather than her usual smug smirk.

Normally, Taehyun would be pissed but for some odd reason, seeing her happy made him feel at ease.

A smile wandered onto his face as he got out of the fountain. "Am I forgiven now?"

Y/N smirked. "Totally."
