Third Person POV

"Holy Shit"

James's eyes widen with shock as he saw the figure stepped through the door.

All the eyes were strained and a wave of shock commonly adorned all their faces.

"AHHH...Hurts...hurts.." Jimin continued to cry in pain as his thigh was bleeding non stop from the shot earlier.

"Jiminie..Jiminiee...hang in there." Jin was the only one seem to speak something out of his mouth as he held onto the crying brother while eyes traced back and forth to the entrance and Jimin.

"YOU FCKING ASSHOLE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

The person spoke again making James tremble.

"M-master...master I am so sorry."

James immediately kneeled down and placed his arms over his head as he bowed down to the fast-approaching figure in front of him.

The person grasped a fistful of James's hair and tugged it harshly towards the back while slaps were heard across James's cheek.

The sound was brutal and merciless as James received a few harsh kicks in his stomach until he started puking blood.

"I SAID WHAT THE FCK YOU DID TO MY BROTHERS! YOU PIECE OF SHIT."

The person took a gun from his suit pocket and aimed it at James who is now kneeling and crying for his life.

"Stop. it."

V was still holding his gun at an arm's length. Not particularly aiming at anyone but he was not prepared to lower them either.

"Do not instruct me, V."

The said person looked at V, with such a dark expression and anger on his face, ready to commit a murder.

"H-Hobi Hyung???" Jimin was resting half of his upper body on Jin's embrace as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person, who looked like Hobi but fiercer. He didn't look like the usual sunshine whom the younger used to.

"Shhh...don't speak much Jimin. You're hurt." For a sec, the whole room thought they saw their usual Hobi with the way he spoke to Jimin.

"THIS ASSHOLE DARE TO TOUCH YOU, IM GONNA MAKE SURE HE DIES." Within the next minute, Hoseok pulled the trigger and all it took was one single shot in the head for James to be lying lifeless on the ground, eyes still pierced open in shock.

"NOOOOO!!! Hobi Hyung!!!!"

Jungkook didn't know why he panicked but he panicked.

Hoseok didn't utter a single word as he took a chair nearby and made himself comfortable while signaling to one of the guards who was standing on the floor above to free the captives.

"Now is a good time to lower your gun V. You don't wanna be dead next."

Hoseok slightly looked over at the snippers who now was aiming the guns at V. Only V.

Knowing that the situation is in a completely different mode now, V lowered the gun and tucked it back to his back belt while he loosened the tension on his shoulder.

He couldn't care less about the dead James or PHS, they meant nothing.

But, V surely had a lot of unsettled business with tonnes of questions. Looking at Hoseok in front of him, he knows that the latter is the only person who can provide the answers.

As all the boys were freed and Jimin's wound was taken care of by the guard under Hoseok's instruction, RM and Suga came closer to V and stood on either side of him.

Jin and Jungkook were holding onto Jimin's hand as the little Mochi was going in and out of consciousness while his wound is being taken care of.

.

"So, tell me. Who are you exactly?" V asked after a long, unbroken battle of gazing with the man in front of him who was seated like a king on the throne.

"Hoseok."

"Pfft, we know your name Hoseok, but what we need to know, is who are you exactly?" Suga crossed his arms as he rolled his eyes at the said male.

"Jung Hoseok."

Suga raised his brows in annoyance as he thought this was not going anywhere. He was ready to step forward and smack the male in front of him when he heard him continue.

"Jung Hoseok. Gang leader."

All the boys were shocked by his confession. Jin's eyes were jumping out of his face when he heard it, he can't believe what his brother was saying. Someone who he has known from little is now a gang leader?

"So, it wasn't wrong when we targeted to kidnap you isn't it?" RM wanted to make it clear.

"Nope." Hoseok kept his replies very short and direct.

"I knew it! I knew I wouldn't have tracked the wrong person, you fell into our kidnapping so easily." Suga exclaimed, feeling relieved knowing that he didn't do a mistake.

"Well, I give it to you that this scumbag of shit James blurted out a name so easily which enabled you to track me. But. I allowed you to track me hence you tracked me and I allowed you to kidnap me so you did."

Hoseok smirked and Jungkook swore he never thought the sunshine in Hobi is now turned into an eclipse. So dark and so evil.

"Coz you were always a step ahead of us? Am I right?" V was calm but his brain was spinning in a thousand directions. How foolish of him to think Hoseok was an easy mission.

"I see you carry the brain in this trio V. Good job." Hoseok sarcastically complimented V while Suga and RM were hissing with anger.

"But why?"

"The answer is simple V. Coz I knew someone was trying to penetrate through my network here in this country. I needed to know who."

"Is that why you purposely set a trap for us to track you down and give in, just to know who we are?"

Hoseok just nodded at V.

"But why did you used PHS to cover up for you?" RM didn't get why Hoseok will do that.

"You answered yourself RM."

The mafia brothers looked confused which caused Hoseok to chuckle.

"I used that shithead as a proxy. I can't reveal myself totally to just anybody. I thought I could have seen your face when you kidnaped me, but you were smarter than I thought. I missed it. So I set up another trap. I used PHS who very conveniently have the same name as me to make you think you got the wrong guy."

"So that we will eventually strike again and you perhaps can know who we are this time?" V was certain this was just another game set by Hoseok.

As expected, the leader just nodded confirming V's assumption.

"But...but how did Officer Carl testified to us that you were the wrong guy and PHS was the correct one?"

Suga was sure that the officer sent them a file with criminal records pointing to PHS and not Hobi.

"Suga oh Suga...tell me how long have you been working as a hacker? You don't think I can easily hack into any system I want to be given that I am a powerful gang leader around the world with the best hackers and criminals working for me??"

Suga closed his wide-open mouth in realization as he clenched his fist feeling so dumb that he didn't think about it.

"Hobi Hyung...w-why did you do this? I-I was worried about H-hyung.." The 4 mafias were disrupted by a soft sobbing voice from the corner.

Hoseok turned to look at his youngest brother, sniffling a little as he was looking at him with his infamous doe eyes.

V observed Hoseok and he realized the gang leader's look softens on the younger as he was looking so fondly at Jungkook.

"I'm sorry Jungkook ah. Sometimes, some things are left unexplained."

"Hobi, I have no right to question what you are doing. I know I am just a mere cousin and these 2 are not even blood related to you, but what you did...i-it broke them...and...i-it b-broke me."

Jin said as tears continued to stream down his face. The oldest of them all was now holding onto Jungkook and Jimin in his arms as if protecting the remaining brothers in his embrace.

Hoseok did not say anything, he continued to look at them very fondly.

Minutes passed and V had enough of the drama. Hence, he cleared his throat and continued from where it stopped.

"So Hoseok, tell me, why all the drama of being in a coma and also allowing PHS to be the proxy when you have all the strings in your hand? You could easily manipulate the law enforcement and you can easily trade the drugs without all these extra bullshit."

"D-drugs? Hyung did drugs???" Jungkook gasped.

"You're absolutely right Jungkook. Your Hyung here is not a simple gang leader, he is one of the most powerful, influential mafia leaders who trade drugs and made it so huge here in our country, endangering the lives of many young people."

Suga explained as he felt the piercing stare from Hosoek on him.

"Watch your mouth Suga."

"Please, don't make me look like the bad guy here exposing you when that's what you are. A piece of shit."

"I SAID WATCH YOU MOUTH AND WHAT YOU SAY."

Hoseok stood up as he kicked the chair backward, making it fall with a loud thump.

"Is it why you came back Hobi Hyung?? To do drug business?? Not for us??" Jimin is now conscious and he was trembling as he spoke.

Hosoek was trying to control his breathing which was increasing with his temper at the mafia brothers in front of him.

"Jimin. Please. Don't make me look that bad. I did come back for my mafia deals, but a huge part of my returning was for you guys too."

"Bullshit." Jin scoffed at the gang leader breaking his heart.

"J-Jin Hyung.."

"DO NOT CALL ME HYUNG." Jin cut Hoseok's attempt to explain further.

Hosoek was growing more and more frustrated as he took out his gun and start shooting randomly easing his temper.

The brothers on the ground closed their ears and screamed in shock while the other 3 stood there unaffected, although they did flinch every now and then from the gunshot.

"WILL YOU GUYS LISTEN TO ME? ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN?"

Hosoek dropped the empty gun on the ground and run his fingers through his hair turning his attention to the 6 males.

His eyes immediately soften back when he saw his own brothers were crying and trembling in fear. He knew he messed up but he wasn't gonna back down without standing up for himself.

When no one spoke anything, Hosoek took the chance to continue.

"I am a fcking gang leader, alright? I am an influential mafia. I have been running the business since I was 15 years old. I fought hard for it. I did not leave the orphanage and became useless. I ran away telling Jin I wanted to be independent but the truth is I couldn't."

Jin recalled back years ago when Hoseok decided to go out of town, separating himself from the others coz he was tired of living a poor life. He told Jin he didn't wanna burden him so he decided to be independent.

"I went to another city, I lived by the road. Did all the lowlife terrible work to earn pennies. I did what I could until one night I stumbled upon an old man outside a club. He took pity in me and he told me if I can serve him then I can be successful too."

V and his brothers were listening very carefully, they still had a lot of unanswered question but whatever Hosoek was saying, it slowly covered the questions in their curios mind.

"I followed him home. I soon found out he was an underworld mafia. I was hesitant but the desperation to not die while starving took the best of me and I agreed to become his apprentice. He was a lonely old man, he was fond of me. So, when he died 5 years ago, he made me the heir to his empire."

"Then why did you come back Hobi? Why?" Jin was curious. Hobi didn't get in touch with them for a long time until about a few years ago, of coz he was happy his brother still remembered them, but he didn't know what was happening on the years Hobi went undetected.

"I told you Hyung, I came back for you guys."

🌚
how many of you knew it was gonna be Hobi? I struggled so much to decide if I wanna have Hobi as my antagonist.

I soon decided yes maybe along the way.
It was very difficult to find a serious pic of Hobi thought, he is such a fluff ball.
