Third Person POV

"Hyung, how is he?"

Namjoon was back again the next day to Tae's house checking on him while Yoongi never left the younger.

"Same I guess? He hasn't woken a single second since he passed out last night."

"Not even when I went away for a bit this morning?"

Yoongi shakes his head indicating that Tae has been tossing and turning in his sleep but never gained consciousness.

"How about the things you went to take care of?" Yoongi closed the bedroom door allowing Tae to rest without noises as he brought Joon to the living room.

"I guess we were lucky coz nothing went wrong in the system nor the event. Well, thanks to you that no one grew suspicious about anything. Although I have Jimin pestering me where the hell did you go."

Yoongi smirked and promised that he will call Jimin later to stop him from disturbing Joon further.

"Good, please do that, I don't know what you did but he has been flustering each time he speaks about you Hyung."

"Well let's just say I gave him a taste of me."

Namjoon raised his brow in a very questioning note didn't want to decipher the real meaning behind it.

"Stop looking at me like that. But urm, no one suspected PHS was gone before the end of the event?" Yoongi was curious. He knows no recording can prove anything against them as there was no sign of forced entry or so, but he was wondering how did they end the event with the VIPs.

"Well that, apparently since PHS was already planning to leave early with V, so he kind of asked his next in line to close the event and send off the guests claiming he has a meeting to attend."

"I guess he really wanted to fck V last night huh? I still don't get it how he managed to think one step ahead. He was not even behaving suspiciously."

Yoongi was sure he didn't notice any particular movements in PHS's activity. He wasn't sure how V got caught and now they are all basically exposed.

"I think only V can answer that. After he wakes up."

Yoongi nodded and went to the kitchen to look for food as he was hungry and Namjoon was complaining he missed Jin's cooking.

.

After 2 days

"Gosh Hyung, why is Tae not waking up yet?"

Namjoon was seated at the right side of the bed while he was inspecting Taehyung who looked like he was sleeping very peaceful.

"I don't know Joon. It's been 2 days, I checked him this morning. He seemed normal. I don't know what they used to knock him out, maybe the drug is still wearing off from his system."

"We can't keep PHS long in the basement too. That fcker has been going in and out of consciousness and he doesn't wanna eat. He might die before we even interrogate him."

Yoongi ran his fingers through his hair getting frustrated at this situation.

"Maybe we should just go ahead and start off before things get too late." Yoongi motioned Namjoon to follow him to the base after checking on Taehyung one last time.

.

Back in the base (the mafia brother's basement)

"We seriously need to get this basement bleached after this, it stinks of blood and human flesh." Yoongi said as they walked down to the basement with masks on to greet their lovely captive - PHS.

"Ewww Hyung, stop it. We are not vampires, stop saying gory things."

"You never know Joon, we might be in the next book." Yoongi winked at his brother who shakes his head in disgust.

The duo walked down the base and opened the door to see PHS was hanging upside down on the bar they have installed with hands tied.

"H-hello sweetpeas." PHS slowly opened his eyes and spit out his blood while greeting the duo with his bloody busted lips.

"I have to give it to you Park, you're one sassy ass. You don't tone down even after getting tortured so much." Yoongi chuckled as he slapped PHS before sitting on the chair in front of him.

"So, speak." Namjoon stood there with a dark expression over his face. RM is not someone to mess with if you try to cross him, which is what PHS has been doing for a few days now.

"Why should I? Just make it easy and kill me already, but mind you, as long I have the control, drug deals will continue to be trading over the city."

"Oh please Park, didn't you know we managed to alert the police to confiscate all your supplies from the event at Royal Palace? You think we didn't know you were using the boxes wrapped for the artworks to sneak in drugs?"

Yoongi raised his brows at PHS and said he personally tipped the cops - especially Officer Carl to ensure all these are taken care of.

"You...bunch of dickheads! DO YOU KNOW I LOST BILLIONS FROM IT??"

"Well congrats then. What can we do for the lost? Mourn with you? Hell no." Namjoon crossed his arms and spat at PHS who was swinging back and forth on the bar due to the frantic movements he has been making coz he was pissed.

"I suggest you just work with us, be a nice boy, tell us where is the base for you system, we destroy it and you're going to be fine."

"Bullshit. Do you think I don't know you're planning to kill me eventually? Why would I say anything about my circle? I am a mafia too you dipshit. I know how it works."

PHS glared at Yoongi who dropped his smile and now getting annoyed coz he was called dipshit.

"I don't think so you know how it works Mr Park."

PHS broke his gaze from Yoongi and turned to the direction of the deep voice which chilled him to the core of his bone.

"V?"

"Nice one Mr Park, I am flattered you can recognize me just by my voice. How humbled I am."

V stepped in from the door revealing his dark and emotionless face with hands in his pockets.

"Pfft, I'm surprised you're still alive. I thought I put in some poison along with the drugs to knock you out. Guess you survived."

"Ha ha. Too bad Mr Park, I guess then your game isn't really that strong now isn't it?"

Yoongi and Namjoon was stunned with V's entrance. They are lowkey happy that V is awake and wanted to engulf him in a big hug but they know better than to not interrupt him when he is being "V".

Hence Yoongi stood up and moved away from the chair he was sitting in front of PHS.

V walked closer and gave PHS two slaps across each of his cheeks and went to sit down in the chair that was left empty for him by Yoongi.

"What? You wanna torture me till I confess? Dream on baby boy."

PHS was very stubborn and there is no way he is gonna lose to V or the other two.

"Gosh, how many times I should tell you that I don't bottom, so don't baby boy me. I'm a freaking top alright? God, you're making my dick mad."

V gestured Namjoon to release the tie which was holding PHS upside down on the bar. With a loud thump, PHS fell flat on the floor hitting his head on the hard surface.

"Good, now stay there, be a good boy and I will come back after taking care of something. Alright? See you Mr Park, stay alive for me." V winked at PHS who was gritting his teeth and yelling in pain.

.

Once the brothers are out of the basement, they went to Yoongi's home and gathered in his office.

"Gosh Tae, thank God you're awake!"

Namjoon engulfed his brother into a tight hug as they gathered around the table.

"Yea, we thought you will just die or something given you past out for 3 days in a row." Yoongi said after joining in for the hug, feeling glad his brother is safe now.

Taehyung smiled at the warmth and released himself to get a bottle of the water from the kitchen.

"That was the longest I have passed out isn't it?" Tae questioned while gulping down a bottle of water as if he was dying of thirst and dehydration.

"Yea, sort of. I just wonder what happened before we arrived that caused you so much damage. You were basically in a pool of your own blood and in so much pain." Yoongi narrated the scene on how he found Tae.

Pain.

That's when Tae stopped a second from paying attention to his brothers and recalled back the face of the person who took him in custody and walked away from him cursing him to rot in hell.

He slammed his clenched fist on the table earning gasps from his brothers.

"Geez Calm down Tae, you just woke up." Namjoon patted his brother's back to calm him down from whatever he was thinking about.

"But Hyung, how did you found me? I thought they took off my in-ear and trackers. I wasn't wearing my jacket."

Yoongi broke into his gummy smile while motioned Namjoon to explain, which he gladly did.

"That my dear brother is all thanks to Suga's genius brain."

"Huh?" Tae was confused.

"Aish, this boy can't even explain without flattering me. Ok, so Tae, the ring that I insisted you to have on your fingers no matter what is the reason how we found you."

"My ring?"

"Yea. I figured they will check every hidden corner of your body but they won't be smart enough to look into the obvious such as a ring tracker so I used it on you. Just as a backup."

Yoongi was proud of himself.

"But hyung, they could have just taken it out or I could have dropped it accidentally when I was struggling."

"Well, it didn't happen, right? So all good."

Yoongi chuckled as Tae rolled his eyes but never without smiling and saying thanks to his hyungs for working so quick in order to ensure they got to him before anything could happen.

Namjoon then went ahead to update Tae that the event went on well on the surface but the drug deals that was suppose to be completed behind the closed doors were interrupted by the cops and everything was confiscated.

Tae nodded in relief that at least the deal didn't carry through and they managed to get PHS in their base although he almost lost his life.

"But Tae, you didn't tell us what happened when you walked out of the venue? How were you kidnapped?"

Yoongi sipped on his ice americano and questioned Tae coz he wasn't sure what happened between all the messes.

"Actually Hyung, PHS is apparently not as dumb as we think he might have been. We did mistakes along the way and he caught up on it quite efficiently."

Tae went along to explain all the mistakes starting from James, to the invite list to the part where PHS found out about their plans ahead of time.

He left out the Jungkook part coz he wasn't sure what's the situation now with Jungkook and he didn't wanna alarm Yoongi and Joon.

"Woah, guess he was really something right? But Tae, did he drugged you? Who took you to his basement?"

Namjoon still didn't get the answer for that.

Taehyung was flipping his handphone in between his fingers while staring into both Yoongi and Joon as they were waiting for him to reply them.

Should he tell them? Should he not?

Screw it.

"Bunny. Bunny took me."
