Taehyung was in his mini bar enjoying his drinks while Jimin and Jungkook were looking at him with questioning eyes. They got to know about Jieun's escape but were a little shocked as Taehyung didn't give any reaction. He was poker like before. When he started showing interest in jieun, they felt like taehyung will change or maybe his other side will appear due to love. But they forgot, love doesn't exist in taehyung's life. Jimin looked at Jungkook whose eyes were stuck on Taehyung playing with his glass but something was odd in Taehyung which they weren't able to guess.
Jimin sighed before breaking his eyes off Jungkook and looked at taehyung. "Do you want me to find her?". Taehyung stopped creasing his finger on the edge of the glass and travelled his eyes at jimin. "No". His short reply had many hidden secrets which only he knew. "you lost your interest already". Jungkook's question caught taehyung's attention who moved his head towards him and chuckled before leaning back. "I can't lose interest in her". They both looked at taehyung confused who gulped down another shot
They couldn't understand what he actually wanted. "Then why are you still here". Jungkook asked, being a little curious to know but getting something from Taehyung was nearly impossible. He was such a private person and getting into his secrets wasn't something easy. Taehyung sighed relaxingly and uttered with a slight smirk. "Let her enjoy her freedom............for a while". There was something evil in his tone, moreover his smirk was giving another warning. Jungkook stood up before releasing breath and uttered, looking down at taehyung. "I'm going to check our weapons"
He left from there before taehyung could even spare a glance at him. After a few moments, Jimin stood up too because he just stayed there to wait for Taehyung to share something but it was no use. It felt like Jieun's escape didn't affect Taehyung at all. It was like he wasn't worried for her at all, which was kinda confusing for Jimin but he decided to keep his confusion to himself. "I will check everything for our mission". Taehyung nodded without looking at him and jimin left silently carrying thousands thoughts inside in his head
As the door gets shut. Taehyung's grip around the glass tightened with clenching jaws. He was breathing heavily sealing his lips while his eyes held only wrath.........cruel wrath. He couldn't believe it. She had the audacity to stand against his warning, even after he had shown her his power. The man was filled with rage, unable to comprehend how that vulnerable woman could show such bravery in the face of his strength. He had always believed that he was the one in control, that no one would dare to challenge him. But now he realised that he had been wrong all along. She was different, and he couldn't help but feel even more interested in her, even as his anger continued to boil inside him.

After three days, Jieun stepped out of the room only to be welcomed by an elder man of her age. She passed him a little smile and he gestured to her to take a seat on the dining table. It had been three days since she escaped taehyung. She didn't know how her luck worked that guards weren't near the main gate which made it easy for her to leave that mansion. She had no idea where she could go because neither she knew anyone in Seoul, nor did she have any shelter to stay in. The man she was with was the one who saved her that night. "I hope you are not facing any discomfort here". His voice was deep while his resting face was a little scary but he was such a kind man.
His house was cosy and enough for two people to stay comfortably. She wasn't too comfortable to stay with him as it felt a burden on him. "Thank you, i-i will try to find another way, i don't want to burden you". Her hesitant voice reached his ear who shook his head with a tiny smile before pulling the chair back and sat on it joining her in breakfast. "don't worry, you can stay as long as you want". She nodded with a forced smile but there was still fear inside her because she was still in seoul......taehyung's territory. But it was unusual how he didn't approach her even after three days. At some point she wanted to accept that it was the end of her suffering. Maybe he lost his interest in her
She snapped back as the man in front of her flickered. "Are you thinking about that incident?". She gulped holding the spoon tight and shook her head slowly. "No Mr Min". "You can call me yoongi, no need to be formal". She nodded slowly and felt a little comfortable with him. She didn't know him but he really did alot for her. He saved her from those creeps who were trying to hurt her, he gave her permission to stay in his house. "Can i ask you something, jieun". She had a slight idea that he wanted to know why she was alone that night. He wanted to ask that night but just not to make her uncomfortable. He kept quiet and she was guilty to hide as he had rights to know about the person who was staying in his house.
"I know what you want to know". She said looking at him and he maintained his straight posture not to startle her. He waited for her to answer but saying something about taehyung was such a difficult thing. Even though he wasn't around her, she still had the impact that his absence was warning her. Inhaling her deep breath she spoke slowly. "I-I was running from the mafia". Yoongi frowned and leaned closer to listen to her carefully. "Mafia?", She nodded slowly and felt her palms getting sweaty but she hid it under the table. "H-He caged me in his mansion, he even killed my fiance, he is so dangerous". Yoongi trailed his eyes down at her chest and she was breathing unevenly. Felt like she was remembering all what she had gone through with that mafia
"How do you know him?". She shook her head and spoke with a little scowl, "I don't know him, I'm not even a citizen of Seoul but he forcefully brought me with him........i don't even know his name except his last name". Her voice turned slow as she ended her sentence and Yoongi asked with raised brow with hesitation. "What's his last name?". "Kim". Yoongi was silent for a moment but not shocked, which she didn't notice. "Kim taehyung". She trailed her eyes at him slowly and frowned in confusion looking at his serious face but her confusion got cleared by Yoongi who spoke still staring at her intensely.
"Kim Taehyung is his full name and he is the only mafia in Seoul with the name of Kim". She shuddered at the mention of his name. She was paralyzed by fear for a second, even when he wasn't around. She still felt like he was lurking around the corner, waiting to pounce. She couldn't escape the terror that he had instilled in her. It was as if he had become a permanent fixture in her mind which will be forever with her. She couldn't form a word but just looked down because in the sudden she started feeling discomfort in that room. Her surroundings turned dark for her and in that darkness she felt like taehyung was roaming around her calmly examining her actions.
"I-I don't have an appetite". She stood up slowly with a pumping heart but Yoongi stayed in his place as before. He knew the mention of taehyung made her uneasy and she regretted opening up that topic. Taehyung's thoughts again started consuming her mind. Back of her heart she was feeling intense fear like taehyung would find her but she halted on her place when yoongi called her. "I'm sorry". She turned around slowly and shook slowly without smiling. Now it was even hard for her to force herself to pass small smile but the glint in yoongi's eyes was something different but she brushed off and spoke more like whisper
"It's ok"

Taehyung cleaned his hands with a handkerchief turning it red. He leered looking at those dead bodies. He won the mission which wasn't too tough for him. His mission was just to get all their money and weapons but he killed the whole gang just to increase his dominance. He didn't want a single rise of those who could have grudges over him. "Burn their hideout with them". Jungkook nodded while the other men were collecting all the money and weapons. Taehyung turned around before taking out a cigarette from his pocket and blew it with a lighter.
He blew the puff and took out his mobile and wide smirk formed on his face. He continued to stare at the screen fixing cigarettes between his lips. "Are you resting well, angel?". There was a location on his mobile screen........location of his angel and she was unaware of it completely. He closed his mobile and blew another puff before taking out his cigarette. The victory he got, he was enjoying it. Each time he felt himself so powerful but still that victory didn't give him enough satisfaction like it always did. Somewhere he felt that he still lost something........or didn't get something.
Suddenly he felt a blast sound which caused him to turn around and his eyes shined watching the building getting burned in flames. The heat of that fire was burning his soul in defeat. Despite his victory, he felt a deep sense of emptiness that he could not shake. And he was aware of the reason for his uneasiness. Now he really felt the need to take her back. Her resistance and absence made him feel uneasy and incomplete. He longed for her touch and presence, and it was only then when he would truly feel victorious. Her emptiness made him feel defeated, and only her presence could make him feel victory.
He continued to stare at fire and rasped mashing cigarette under his shoe.
"It's time to come back, angel"

It was quite dark outside as the sun already disappeared. Jieun watched outside the window only to see a clear sky. Taehyung's thoughts were still disturbing her but the house was so peaceful that she was relaxingly breathing. But her trance was broken by the sound of the door bell. She didn't doubt as Yoongi was gone somewhere, leaving her alone in the house. He told her no one would visit him so she didn't need to worry about anything.
Once again the doorbell rang and she immediately went out of the room to open the door thinking it was yoongi but suddenly she felt chill all over her body. Her feets automatically slowed down but by then she had already reached the door. There wasn't even a peep hole that she could see the person outside but brushing off all her thoughts she opened the door slowly only to see her fear. Jungkook was infront her with his as usual neutral face and her lips parted with wide eyes in shock. She was shocked how did he get her location
"So you are hiding here", His deep serious voice shivered her completely who stepped back slowly as he stepped inside. "i-i don't want to g-go with you", Jungkook raised his brow, halting her breath, who peeked around to find a place where she could hide but before that jungkook already gripped her wrist tightly leaving her stunned. "p-please, i don't want to go to him", She cried while trying to remove his hand but it was so hard. There was no chance he would leave her and ignoring her cries, he started dragging her. Her heart sank into her stomach thinking about the worst outcomes. Thinking about Taehyung was terrifying to her. She was wrong all the time that he forgot her when he was planning something for her.
She was sure if taehyung still wanted her, he would punish her for defying him for sure and she had already seen how cruel he could be. But Jungkook paused on his track which caused her to halt her cries when Yoongi stood in front of them. Jieun looked at Yoongi in hope and begged, "Please, save m-me, he will hurt me". Yoongi stared at her before travelling his eyes on Jungkook and ground slipped under Jieun's feets hearing jungkook. "Thanks for keeping her here", There was no emotion on yoongi's face in return which left jieun in confusion who hoped maybe she misunderstood but her heart crushed down when yoongi replied coldly looking at jungkook.
"Tell him to be alert with her'', a silent tear left her eye staring at Yoongi with shattered heart. Meanwhile Jungkook's grip around her wrist turned even tight but it didn't bother her. Now she believed there was no one to whom she could trust. She was foolish to trust Yoongi and he was so heartless to play with her emotions. She was numb from inside to outside and forgot to escape. There was no use to escape, no one was trustworthy, and she didn't even protest even a bit when Jungkook pulled her with him but she was so hurt that yoongi wasn't even guilty for what he did. There was no guilt in his eyes and she helplessly looked down while walking with jungkook
As they left the house, Yoongi stood there unfazed and looked down slowly before huffing.
"I don't even want to predict whats going to happen with her"

:- Just for this ff, I'm exploring mafia documentaries to make it little real. And almost all mafias are same (Their habits, selfishness, greed power and etc) And I'm glad how much I've written, taehyung's character is 90% similar to real mafias.
I'm not going to copy any real event but i wanted to know their life style to get idea. I will add all my imagination but according to their life style.
