Chase and his goons were taken away to either be interrogated or killed. Taehyun's father was furious that one of their own betrayed them.

Currently, Taehyun was heading back to his dorm after dropping Y/N off at her place. It was late at night after the ball and he was beat.

His hands found their way to the buttons of his white dress shirt and as he unbuttoned the first few.

"Taehyun!" Kai's voice filled the air as he followed up to Taehyun.

Taehyun turned around and nodded at his friend.. "What are you doing up so late?"

"I heard what happened at the ball. Is it true that Chase was the mole?"

Taehyun nodded again. "Yeah, it's still a little shocking to me as well, never expected it from a guy like him."

Kai sighed. "Are Yeonjun and Beomgyu still at your dad's mansion?"

"Yeah, they'll be back tomorrow morning."

"Come on, Soobin's been worried." Kai said as both of them left to go to their dorm.

The Next Day:

Y/N woke up earlier than usual. She barely slept that night. Not due to the adrenaline of the fight, but she was thinking about Taehyun.

She kept an unfazed expression while she got ready, but inside she was a mess. Thinking of him made her heart jump with excitement.

"I should talk to Yunjin about this." She mumbled to herself and waited on her bed for her friend to get up.

After about ten minutes of waiting, Y/N grew bored and walked over to her.

"Yunjin!" She shouted as she grabbed her shoulders and shook.

"Wha- what!" She hissed opening her eyes.

"Get up I've got to talk to you."

Yunjin yawned as she rubbed her eyes. "What time is it?"

Y/N checked her phone. "It's almost 7."

"7!? I could've slept for another hour!" She yelled.

Y/N gave her a sympathetic look. "Sorry, but I really need to talk to you."

Yunjin's face softened as she looked at her. "Yeah what's up?"

Y/N fiddled with her hands before sighing. "I think I have...feelings for Taehyun." She said sounding a bit disgusted saying it.

Yunjin's eyes widened. "No way, you like Taehyun?"

Y/N quickly waved her arms to say no. "No no! Well maybe...I don't know after the ball yesterday I just can't get his stupid face out of my head." She said grabbing her head.

Yunjin laughed. "I think you do have a crush. Maybe not a full on crush but definitely the early stages of one."

Y/N made a face. "I need to not like him."

Yunjin rolled her eyes. "You know he isn't that bad of a guy. Just give him a chance."

Y/N stood up. "Not a chance." She said before grabbing her bag. "Now good day!" She left the dorm and slammed the door shut behind her.

Yunjin sighed flopping back onto her bed. "Gosh that idiot woke me up for this bullshit." She grumbled before going to sleep.

Y/N had her arms crossed with a scowl on her face. "I can't possibly like that jerk. I'm probably just having early symptoms of a heart attack or something. And he probably paid some aliens to infiltrate my brain and fill them with thoughts of him!" She said trying to convince herself with her idiotic logic.

"Y/N! I've had a revolution!" Sunghoon suddenly appeared out of nowhere and ran up to her.

Y/N shot him a glare which made the boy step back.

"Jeez why are you so grumpy?"

"Taehyun is paying outer space demons to make me think of him!" Y/N hissed,

Sunghoon made a face. "Anyway...I think last night awoke something in me!"

Y/N's face changed. "What do you mean?"

Sunghoon looked excited, like he drank three cups of coffee excited. "Well after beating that guy up, I learned I can fight! And I know you're in a mafia thing with Taehyun, soooo I wanted to join."

Y/N made a face. "You wanna join Taehyun's mafia of lunatics?"

Sunghoon nodded. "I wanna be a lunatic like you."

Y/N glared at him as she clenched her fist. "You're lucky I'm mad at Taehyun right now or else I'd beat the shit out of you."

Sunghoon rose his hands up defensively. "Heh just kidding. But seriously when can I talk to Taehyun?"

"Well now that Chase has basically been kicked out, there's a spot open. Ask him to talk after class today." Y/N said patting his shoulder.

Sunghoon was pumped. "I can't wait. I've been thinking about the mafia a lot after I found out. So what do you guys do? Go to fancy places and stuff?"

Y/N shrugged. "I'll I've done is go to a bank and party and I nearly got killed both times."

Sunghoon made a face. "Well then...maybe I'll have better luck."

Y/N laughed as she began walking. "Sureeee."

"Hey wait up!" Sunghoon shouted as he followed after her. He continued to ask her all sorts of questions about the mafia until Y/N had a enough. She threatened to punch so hard his 'mouth hole' would stop working.

With Taehyun:

Taehyun was already situated in the classroom. He came a bit earlier to clear his head before the chaos arrived.

"Sunghoon I swear if you ask me another question I'm going to super glue your mouth shut when you're sleeping!" Y/N hissed as she and Sunghoon entered the classroom.

"Damn I just wanted to know where you put the bodies after you killed them." Sunghoon tsked. He glanced over and saw Taehyun. "Oh Taehyun! I need to talk to you after class about something important."

Y/N took her seat next to Taehyun. Her eyes wandered over to him as he conversed with Sunghoon.

"What do you need to talk about?" Taehyun asked with a sigh.

"I can't really say it here but let's talk about class." Sunghoon said with a thumbs up before taking his seat.

Mr. Han walked in with an attitude. "Open up your textbooks and read the whole damn thing!" He yelled slamming his bag on the floor.

The students groaned as some tried to argue.

Y/N mindlessly flipped through the glossy pages of her book. Her eyes every once in awhile glanced at the boy sitting next to her.

Taehyun focused on the book as he read every word.

Y/N slipped her elbow onto the table and propped up her hand before leaning her head against her fist.

'Gosh why am I even looking at him. What a nerd, actually doing the assignment.'

Her E/C eyes kept on him before Taehyun turned his head and they made eye contact.

Y/N's head slipped off her fist out of shock of him catching her staring at him. She looked away and began to read the book.

Time slipped by painfully slow but at last, the professor let everyone go.

Y/N grabbed all her belongings and dumped them in her bag and raced out the door to avoid making any small talk with Taehyun.

Taehyun watched her rush out with confusion before he shrugged and continued to packing up,

Sunghoon walked over and gestured for him to follow.

Taehyun nodded as the boys made their way to a private area outside.

"What's this about Sunghoon?" Taehyun asked with folded arms.

"I've been thinking and I want to join your mafia."

Taehyun couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "You want to join my dad's mafia? Funny joke."

Sunghoon was a little offended. "I'm serious! After the fight last night, something awoke inside me."

Taehyun crossed his arms. "I should've told you this last night but thanks for helping us. But being apart of a mafia takes more than just being a powerful fighter. I don't know if you're cut out to join." He said with a sympathetic look before turning to leave.

Sunghoon quickly stopped him. "Wait I can prove myself! Honest! Whatever task you have I'll do it."

Taehyun turned and looked at him. "Fine, if something comes up I'll tell you about it."

A smile broke on Sunghoon's features. "Thank you so much." He said as he walked away.

Taehyun sighed and went to meet with the other guys.

He walked to the entrance of the college where the others were waiting.

Soobin saw Taehyun approaching and raised his hand. "Hey Taehyun, you're just in time. Also Y/N is joining us."

Y/N peeked her head out from behind Yeonjun before looking away.

Taehyun nodded. "Okay? Anyway let's go give our old friend Chase a visit."

The gang nodded as two cars pulled up and took them to the mansion that Chase was being held at.

Y/N was forced to sit next to Taehyun the whole ride which made everything awkward since she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

The cars pulled up to the huge mansion that Y/N first visited after their bank incident.

Everyone got out of the cars and approached the overly large doors. They opened letting everyone in as they made their way to the staircase that led upstairs and downstairs.

Taehyun walked in front of everyone else and led them downstairs.

The room got colder and darker the further they walked down.

Y/N rubbed her arms as they stopped in front of metal door.

Taehyun pulled out a set of keys from his pocket and opened the door to reveal a dungeon of different people. However, they all had the snake tattoo on their bodies.

Taehyun walked over to Chase who was chained up against the back wall.

Y/N looked around. "Kinky set up you've got going on here."

Taehyun ignored her as Beomgyu snickered. "Here's our old friend. Was it worth betraying us?"

Chase only smirked. "Absolutely."

Taehyun slapped him across the face. "You're going to regret that."

Chase groaned out in pain as he hung his head. "Why does it matter? You're going to kill me anyway."

Yeonjun stepped forward. "You're going to tell us what you told Yuka."

Chase's twisted smirk widened. "You won't get a peep from me, I'm loyal to him."

Taehyun rubbed his knuckles. "I'll have you know it's so painful when I punch someone with my brass knuckles, they start begging for mercy immediately after. I wonder how long you'll last." He put his bag down and took out his brass knuckles that had little spikes on them.

Chase's eyes widened as Taehyun put them on and clenched his fist. "Last chance, talk."

Chase refused as Taehyun punched him right in the cheek. The spikes sunk into his skin before he pulled away. Chase's cheek began to bleed as his face clenched from the pain.

"Want another round?" Taehyun asked rolling up his sleeves.

Y/N grimaced a little seeing Taehyun punch Chase. She'd never seen this serious gruesome side to him.

Taehyun punched Chase a few more times till he was coughing up blood.

"Fine!" His was voice was hoarse. "I'll talk." Chase coughed up more blood as it dripped down his chin. "I don't know much...he hired me to gather information."

"What did you tell him?" Soobin asked crossing his arms.

"I told him about you guys and Y/N."

Y/N perked up hearing her name. She walked over. "You told a psycho about me!"

Chase glared at her. "Yes."

Y/N went to slap him before Taehyun grabbed her wrist. He looked at her as she looked back. Y/N lowered her arm as Taehyun let go.

"The only information I have on Yuka is he's going to a party this Wednesday at some frat dude's parent's house."

Taehyun flexed his arm as a warning to Chase. "Is that it?"

Chase nodded. "It is I swear!"

Taehyun narrowed his eyes at him for a second. "Fine then, let's leave."

The gang left the room before Taehyun locked the door.

"So we're going to another party? That's like the third one in a row!" Y/N groaned.

"Third one? Wouldn't it be the second one?" Beomgyu questioned.

"I'm counting the ball as a party." Y/N said crossing her arms.

"This is our opportunity to find Yuka and take him down." Taehyun told the group. "This is huge."

Everyone nodded. "Fine then. Guess we're crashing a party yo!" Yeonjun shouted with excitement.

"Whose party are we crashing exactly?" Soobin asked.

"His name is Jay and his parents are loaded." Kai said looking up from his phone.

"Well I hope Jay doesn't mind us infiltrating his party." Taehyun said cracking his knuckles after removing the brass painful punchers.

"Hey this would be a great opportunity for Sunghoon." Y/N chimed in.

"Sunghoon? What about Sunghoon?" Yeonjun asked.

"He wants to join after last night's fiasco." Taehyun replied. He looked at Y/N. "How did you know I told him he needed to prove himself?"

Y/N looked at him. "He ran up to me after your chat and told me he's gotta train for his 'big shot' then he left."

Beomgyu snickered.

"Come on, in just a couple days we're finally going to showdown this Yuka."

Back at the College:

Y/N decided she wanted to train some more after visiting Chase at the Kang mansion.

She snuck into the karate facility Taehyun trained at before he left the team. Y/N decided to warm up with some kicks on the training dummy.

"Interesting seeing you here." A voice said making Y/N stop kicking the training dummy.

She turned and saw Taeyong walking over with his hands in his pockets.

"Sorry, I know I'm not supposed to be in here but the other facility's equipment isn't stable like these." She said gesturing to the training dummy.

Taeyong let out a small laugh. "That's okay, I understand." He walked closer. "I heard you and Taehyun kicked ass at the ball."

Y/N walked over to her bag and took out her towel. "Oh yeah? We were just helping out, no big deal." She smiled at him, trying to blow over any important details.

Taeyong smiled back. "Well I just wanted to say I thought it was really cool what you did."

Y/N pulled her eyes away from the towel as she looked at him. "Thanks Taeyong." Her smile widened.

The doors to the training facility opened as Taehyun walked in.

"Oh Hey Y/N, I've been looking for you." He said walking over.

Y/N's eyes widened as her face grew hot. Her heart rate started to quicken just as her brain turned to mush.

Taeyong waved. "Hey Taehyun! I was just talking to Y/N about what you guys did at the ball."

Taehyun wasn't particularly amused, but he tried his best to be nice. "Oh really, that's great." He gave a half smile before turning to the person he originally came to see.

"Y/N you wanna work on our project some more?" He asked as Y/N stood up.

She opened her mouth but now words came out before her face turned angry and she slapped him across the face.

Taeyong's eyes widened. "Oh shit! I'm just going to go." He said as he dashed out of the room.

Taehyun held his cheek as he looked at her. "Why did you slap me!?"

Y/N could feel her nerves coming on. She was usual pretty secure in herself, but when dealing with unknown feelings, her composure changed very dramatically.

"That's for paying space aliens to use their mind powers on me!" She shouted before grabbing her bag and leaving.

Taehyun was left there flabbergasted as he watched the girl basically run out of the building,

"Well then." He sighed.

An Hour Later:

Taehyun got a text from Sunghoon asking him to meet him at the gym.

"I'm here Sunghoon, what do you need?" He asked.

"Oh good you're here, I wanted you to see how my training progress was going." Sunghoon said wiping his sweaty arms with a wash cloth.

Taehyun sighed. "Sunghoon, I'm going to be honest, I'm not in the mood to talk about fighting."

Sunghoon rose a brow. "Huh that's weird. Why?"

Taehyun moved his head to the side to show off the red mark Y/N left. "I went to ask Y/N if she wanted to work on our report and she slapped me! Then she accused me of paying aliens to use their 'mind powers' on her."

Sunghoon made a face. "She told me something similar this morning."

Taehyun moved his head back. "Really? What did she say?"

"She basically said the same thing but that the aliens were filling her brain with thoughts of you."

Taehyun snickered. "Thoughts of me? That's ridiculous."

Sunghoon shrugged and put his towel down. "That's just what she told me."

Taehyun thought about what he said for a moment. "Huh. Do you by chance know where she is?"

Sunghoon walked over to the punching bag he was working on earlier. "She said she was going to the library about an hour ago."

"Cool thanks." Taehyun said as he left.

"No wait! Ugh he didn't watch me train!" Sunghoon yelled in frustration as he punched the bag as hard as he could. The bag came flying back at him as it knocked him over,

"Ow."

At the Library:

Y/N was working on a few assignments with her earbuds in. She didn't notice Taehyun approaching her from behind as he repeatedly called her name.

"Y/N!" He rolled his eyes and tapped her shoulder making the girl turned around and punch whoever touched her.

Taehyun fell down as he grabbed his nose. "Jeez! Why did you hit me again!?"

Y/N's eyes widened as she immediately paused her music and took her earbuds out. "Taehyun? What are you doing?" She walked over and helped him up.

Taehyun glared at her. "I just spoke to Sunghoon and he said that you told him that I was paying aliens to fill your brain with me! What does that even mean?"

Y/N sighed as she fiddled with her fingers out of nerves. She didn't want to reveal that she might potentially like him, so lying was the next best option.

"Okay fine, the truth is this assignment is really stressing me out and when I get stressed out I tend to think weird things?" She said not too sure of her answer.

Taehyun narrowed his sharp eyes at her. "Is that the real reason you slapped me?" He stepped closer making their bodies brush against one another's. "Are you sure there isn't another reason?"

Y/N crossed her arms. "Look I'm sorry for slapping and punching you but if you don't back up I'm going to do it again." She warned making him step back.

"Fine, but seriously if you're stressed about something let me help." He gave a small smile.

Y/N watched him take a seat next to hers. "You want to help me?"

Taehyun rolled his eyes. "If it means you'll stop making random up crap and hitting me then yes."

Y/N fumed as she took her seat.

The two spend the rest of the day working on various assignments together. They actually enjoyed each other's company and got some good laughs and giggles in.

However, they'd need to keep their spirits high for next challenge that lied ahead.
