Chapter 3
Never let your fear decide your future.
---
With the phone in his right hand, Namjoon was sitting at the kitchen table nervously tapping his finger of his left hand on the table. The coffee he made a long time ago was already cold. He didn't have the need to wake up anymore. He was wide awake after the phone call he made to Cyra an hour ago. Namjoon kind of thought that maybe if he made the phone call afternoon he would feel more nervous and panic more, but he was wrong. Knowing particularly how much time they have until meeting her made his skin crawl. Cyra said to meet in a shack in a forest. How bad did that sound? His thoughts were stopped with sleepy Hoseok coming down the stairs. He was only wearing sweatpants showing his lean body. Namjoon's eyes fell onto the tattoo of a phoenix that lied on the left side of his chest. They all had one. Hoseok had two more tattoos; theatre masks on his lover abs on the right, and a mad hatter clock on his left shoulder.
"Morning," Hoseok mumbled casually walking towards Namjoon. Hoseok seeing the coffee on the table reached out for it and slowly put it to his mouth. Taking a sip of it he made him twist his lips and squirm his eyes. "It's cold!" He told putting it back down while Namjoon kept looking at his phone. Hoseok glancing at him realized that he was worried. Namjoon was wearing some shorts and a sweatshirt that was showing his upper chest.
"You called her?" Hoseok questioned walking to the counter making himself a coffee turning his back towards Namjoon in the meantime.
"Yeah." Hoseok heard Namjoon breathe out followed by a thud of his phone being lied down on the table.
"So, why are you so worried?" Hoseok asked still not looking at Namjoon.
"I'm just afraid that I'm wrong about this." That made Hoseok stop doing whatever he was doing and face his friend. He saw the dark circles now under Namjoon's eyes. He didn't sleep at all, Hoseok thought.
"Joon, you are never wrong about anything," Hoseok said walking to the table and leaning on it with his hands. Namjoon looked up to him showing his tired eyes.
"Hobi, what if I kill us all?" Saying that Namjoon felt once again his skin crawl. Hobi only blankly stared at his leader, looking for the right words. He was shocked by those thoughts of Namjoon, he never gets frightened like that.
"You are afraid for us because this is the first time we are going into something like this." Hobi finally said slowly. " Don't think too much, and don't worry so much about us. Even if something happens, we'll be able to handle it. Alright? " Hobi said giving Namjoon a little smile that Namjoon returned. "And now go get good sleep, we can't go to a meeting if you look like crap."Namjoon chuckled at that getting up from his seat and walking towards the stairs.
"Thanks, Hobi." Hoseok heard Namjoon before he disappeared. Letting a sigh out he heard the front door open. Not even turning around he knew who it was. Listening to the graceful walk he knew that must be no one else than Jimin.
"Oh, good morning Hobi," Jimin said when he came to the living room and saw Hosek making himself a coffee.
"Morning, where were you?" Hoseok asked sitting at the counter this time. Jimin showed bags full of food and walked towards the kitchen.
"Good lunch will make them all happy. The answer to every problem is food." Jimin said shaking his head letting his blonde hair fall on his eyes. He put the bags on the table and looked at Hoseok.
"Gonna help me?" Jimin asked and Hoseok raised his mug full of coffee. Hoseok nodded and Jimin slowly started to take everything out of the bags. Hoseok couldn't help but admire Jimins features. Jimin used to be actually really masculine but now he is very thin. He did have muscles but in Hoseok's eyes when he would hug him he would be afraid that he'll break him. Jimin was always so graceful and easy to talk to. He may be odd at first but he is a genuine person.
"I have a question." Hoseok suddenly heard Jimin.
"Okay," Hoseok replied waiting for the question. Jimin took a deep breath and bit his lip nervously.
"Do you think that Cyra will get us killed if we say no?" Hoseok was looking at Jimin with his mouth open. He didn't actually think about that. But now he understood why Namjoon was so worried. Hoseok slowly put his mug down and walked to the table and looked into Jimin's eyes.
"I don't think she will," Hoseok said convincing himself. Slowly Hoseok started to take things from the bags.
"Let's make our food," Hoseok said avoiding Jimin's eyes. Jimin knew that Hoseok was afraid too, everyone was. But if he thinks harder this is actually the first time they are afraid. That in a way gave Jimin comfort, it means he didn't become numb, he is still a human. Hoseok only wanted to make food to distract himself from the ugly thoughts in his head. He hated negativity, especially when he couldn't find positivity in it.
"I guess not a good morning at all.." Jimin mumbled preparing himself for the cooking.
------------------
"You know, I was expecting more something scary, out-of-the-way, weird and godforsaken, but damn this is actually nice," Hoseok said getting out of the car in which were also Jin and Suga. In the other car were Namjoon, Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jimin.
"The godforsaken part is true actually. "Suga commented stretching. Jin only came out of his car closing it with a loud thud leaning on the door and looking at the cottage.
Jimin and Tae also got out of the second car joining them. Namjoon was still sitting in his car glaring at the cottage. He was feeling nervous once again, he didn't understand why because he never usually gets like this. Jungkook was sitting in the passenger seat looking at Namjoon's knuckles that were turning white how hard he was holding the wheel.
"Hyung, relax," Jungkook said fixing his white buttoned-up shirt. "We've got this. Come on." Jungkook comforted Namjoon with a smile getting out of the car. Namjoon looking at his team all standing there in front of the cottage knew that what happens in that cottage no one can control. But they were a team, so he knew they will be fine. Getting out of his car Namjoon walked up to his members looking at the cottage.
"Gonna be honest here." Taehyung said with a little smile as he kept admiring the cottage ."I think that everything will be fine."
"You think that because of a cottage Tae?" Jungkook asked looking at one of his closest friends. Taehyung just nodded what made Jungkook shake his head. "Don't judge the book by its cover, remember that?" Jungkook said putting his gloves on and checking his gun in the back of his trousers. Taehyung just mumbled something under his breath. The cottage was not old, it was new. It looked like a cottage that people use very often. Around it was clean, there was even a little garden. It was above the ground, with long stairs to go on a balcony. Jungkook kind of had a weird feeling about it. There was only a small light hanging above the door and in the cottage was no light. It didn't look expensive, so inside could be anything.
"Let's go," Namjoon said passing by all of them and slowly walked up the stairs. While he was walking he was looking where he was steeping. As he saw the cottage was made of fine wood, it certainly did look nice. Then he spotted a car but his attention was stolen by a growl he heard in front of himself. There was a dog, more likely a wolf standing in front of them. They didn't see the wolf when they were on the ground.
"Jungkook, you love dogs so why don't you handle this?" Jimin started pushing Jungkook's shoulder lightly. Jungkook slowly turning his head to Jimin gave him a death glare.
"That, my friend, is not a dog," Hoseok whispered.
"This is a wolf dumbass!" Jungkook hissed at Jimin and looked back at the animal. The wolf didn't attack it just growled once at them. The wolf was grey with a little bit of reddish colour around his head. His eyes were like honey.
"What now?" Taehyung asked because no one moved a muscle since they saw the wolf. Namjoon decided to make one more step and that's when the wolf showed its teeth.
"Shit," Hoseok said but the wolf didn't jump on them, it only howled. Suddenly in the cottage, all the lights turned on. Hoseok still in fear that the wolf will jump didn't get his eyes off it. Then someone opened the cottage door. A man wearing light jeans with black flannel, his hair styled back. Namjoon recognized the man.
"Kim, good to see you again," Geun greeted looking at the group. "Oh, sorry about her," Geun said and whistled to the wolf. The wolf looked at Geun and quickly got up rushing into the cottage. Hoseok followed the wolf with his gaze and then slowly leaned towards Suga.
"Why would someone have a wolf?" Hoseok asked Suga who only shrugged with his shoulders.
"Chin Geun," Namjoon said fixing his leather jacket and walking towards Geun giving him his hand. Geun firmly took it.
"This is my team," Namjoon said letting his hand go and showing him on the guys.
"Delighted to meet you, come on, Yukai is waiting for you." Hearing that name made all of the boys' shiver. Slowly Geun got into the cottage and the boys followed him. The first thing they saw was a big dark wooden desk with 8 wooden chairs in the middle of the room. In the back, they saw a fireplace in a wall of stone. In front of the fireplace was a cream-coloured couch with few chairs. And in one chair that was just by the fireplace, they saw her.
She was sitting facing them. With one black wolf lying down to her feet and the other one that was outside sitting beside her so that she could stroke her. She was wearing all black. Her blonde long hair was falling in waves on her shoulder. You couldn't miss the golden accessories on her; golden necklace, golden watch, and rings.
Jungkook was frozen by her looks. He didn't imagine her like this. He thought she will look like a Korean slut on a street, but no. She was stunning. He couldn't lie to himself, Cyra was absolutely breathtaking. He couldn't get his eyes off of her. Like she felt his intense gaze on herself her green emerald eyes met his brown ones. Seeing that little smirk on her face made Jungkook swallow hard. Looking at her face, Jungkook didn't see a girl nor a woman. It was like she was trapped between two worlds. The way she held her shoulders showed that she is an authoritative person. Hoseok, Suga, and Jimin were more astonished by her bravery. There were no guards. Only she, Geun, and two massive wolves. Jin and Taehyung were also, like Jungkook hypnotized by her beauty. They never saw or met a woman that looked so powerful and knew her own business. No wonder that people were afraid of her. Namjoon cleared his throat and came in front of all of the guys looking at Cyra. He was still feeling very nervous about this meeting, and the wolves weren't helping.
"Kim Namjoon, good to see you again," Cyra greeted giving Namjoon a big smile. Namjoon actually found that grin disturbing. He wasn't sure what was happening with him actually, he was just so worried about everything. Within few seconds Cyra was in front of Namjoon with her hands behind her back. "Can't describe how happy I'm to meet you all," Cyra said still wearing that grin on her face. "The Raising Phoenix." She said with her smile disappearing. When Namjoon heard her say their gang name for some odd reason he got chills down his spine. "Sit," Cyra told passing them all by and sitting on the head of the table. The boys looked at Namjoon that showed them to sit down. They actually even fought over who would sit next to her. The wolves were on both of her sides. "Don't worry they won't bite except when I tell them to," Cyra said patting one of the wolves head. Jungkook, sat on her right side avoiding her gaze. Opposite him sat Yoongi. Next to Yoongi, Jin and Hoseok. Next to Jungkook, sat Taehyung, and then Jimin. On the other head of the desk sat Namjoon. "I guess you have questions for me, so ask," Cyra said with a stern voice leaning in her chair. The guys actually kept silent for some time, they were not sure what should they ask. Cyra found that funny. She actually couldn't help staring at each one of them. They were extremely handsome. To her, their faces looked like angels' faces. After some longer silence, Cyra cleared her throat and leaned on the table putting her hands under her chin. "Come on, I don't bite," Cyra said playfully giving them an unsettling grin that made Jimin shift in his spot. "Ask anything."
"How much do you know about us?" Taehyung suddenly asked.
"A lot," Cyra answered looking at Taehyung. "You're Kim Taehyung, the cold-hearted killer. Your first kill was your father, favourite way of killing a knife." Taehyung smirked.
"That's nothing impressive." He rose his eyebrow. Cyra licked her lips while agreeing with a nod.
"You're sending your mother money every month but she doesn't take it. You're going to your home town almost every month just to check on her." Taehyung's eyes turned wide. "Even though you hated your father, you go to the cemetery whenever you have time." Cyra's eyes shifted to Yoongi.
"You are Min Yoongi, but you prefer to be called Suga." Cyra aid turning her gaze. You are a thief just like Jung Hoseok. Both of you are good with weapons." Cyra said glancing at Hoseok who was just nervously cracking his knuckles. "You were a cop in Gwangju, but your sister got dragged into the world of criminal and you followed thinking you will protect her that way. She got killed in an alley. " Hoseoks eyes grew upon hearing that.
"How the fuck do you know that?" Hoseok urged.
"I'm the one who saved you that night." Hoseok let a gasp out, trying to collect himself from the shock making the boys look at him confused. "Want me to keep going or you want to ask me a different question?" Cyra asked still looking at Hoseok.
"Did you hack JImin's computers?" Jungkook abruptly questioned.
"Yes, I did." Jungkook, assuming that would be the answer looked at Jimin who just blankly stared at Cyra.
"Enough with this bullshit." Suddenly Jin's voice was heard. Namjoon gave him a glare hoping that he will lower his voice. "Why do you want us to work for you?" Jin asked leaning with one hand on the table and turning his body to Cyra who had a very playful smirk on her face.
"Finally the good stuff," Cyra said signalizing with a hand to Geun. Geun suddenly started to share some files putting it on the table in front of them. Every man took the file and got over it.
"I want to come to the throne of The Shadows." Saying that Cyra crossed her arms over her chest while leaning back into the chair. "As you know, it's now me or my brother. And I want to win." Saying that Jin couldn't help but chuckle. He was listening to a child. How would she know to lead something that significant? She was in her early twenties, what could have she learned during these years about life or how to lead a mafia.
"What makes you think you will?" Namjoon looked again at Jin giving him this time a warning kick under the table.
"You think a woman can't lead a company and a mafia?" the woman tilted her head.
"The Shadows is more an empire Miss." Taehyung corrected her leaning also in his chair. He felt a glare from the leader because he was a little rough on his words, but Taheyung didn't care, he was right.
"And yes, I don't think a woman can lead such thing," Jin replied. "Why would you need us, if you already have so many people as we heard?"
"Because hungry dogs are never loyal. I want-"
"Partners, yes we heard." Jungkook interrupted. Cyra looked over at him. She kind of had a feeling that Jin and Jungkook were mostly against this. She saw the difference in their body posture. They all were nervous of course, but they were so tense that it seemed as they'll explode at any moment. They were afraid of the untold. "But how will we be partners if we work for you? We won't be equals." Jungkook asked turning his body to Cyra.
"You have a leader and you are partners and you are equals," Cyra said giving a glance to each of them. "To be honest, the people that are "Loyal" to me are not smart or strong as you are." She said slowly standing up. "And I want to change The Shadows. I want to make my own lane. "I want someone who is skilled as I'm. And you are." hearing that Jungkook stood up slowly making his hyungs almost scream at him to sit back down.
"If you are so skilled as you say, why need us?" Jungkook said coming closer to her. He was expecting that she will take a step back, yet she was standing firmly at her spot. Her breathing didn't change. She was leading this game, and he could feel it.
"Because I can't do everything alone." She admitted and Jungkook smiled at that. "And I'm not ashamed to confess that," Cyra added and turned away from Jungkook to the rest of the guys. "You were scared to come here because you thought I would kill you if you say no to me. But do you see anyone here?" Cyra said and the guys were silent. "There are only two dogs with me and Geun, we don't even have weapons." Hearing that Jungook felt powerful, and he wanted to test something. Swiftly he reached for his gun but Cyra was faster, she already had him pinned against the table with his gun in her hand aiming at his head. She put the hammer down and the rest of the guys were on their feet taking their guns out. The dogs already on their feet snaring at them, while Geun stood calmly in the back.
"Touch your weapon and I'll let the dogs eat you," Cyra said in a demanding tone that made the boys freeze. It was a deep and cold voice. Jungkook, embarrassed by his failure tried to get out of Cyra's grip but she pressed the gun harder against his head. "You felt powerful when I said that I didn't have any weapons didn't you Hitman?" Saying that last word made Jungkook growl. Cyra let him go and Jungkook moved away from her while fixing his clothes. Cyra threw the gun in his hand and turned again to the boys.
"That are no dogs, those are wolves," Hoseok commented looking at the snaring creatures.
"Enough," Cyra ordered and the dogs just stopped showing their teeth and lied back down on the floor. "They are not wolves, at least I think. " Cyra said fixing her outfit and giving a smile to Hoseok.
"What were you thinking kid?" Namjoon asked putting his hands on his hips with a worried expression. Jungkook rolled his eyes before answering.
"I wanted to see how she'll react,"Jungkook answered putting the gun back in his trousers.
"Well, it looks like she could kick your ass," Taehyung replied making the rest of them chuckle. Jungkook looked over at Cyra that was having a little-curved smile on her lips.
"To get back to the point gentleman, if you don't like working with me in the next month you can get out of this anytime," Cyra said what made each of them look at each other.
"And no one will get killed?" Jimin asked nervously waiting for Cyra's answer. Cyra had still that little-curved smile on her face but then it disappeared.
"If you say no now, no killing. If you bail out then, I'll kill you myself." Cyra said and the boys were silent. Namjoon was looking at Cyra with a sharp gaze. He knew that they are screwed even if they say no now. She wasn't joking for sure. Her green eyes were stabbing into Namjoon's soul, which made Namjoon uncomfortable. She was looking like an angel with the devil's wings. He knew that he had to make a good deal out of this if he wanted them all out of this alive.
"Then No, and goodbye, right?" Jin asked stepping in front of Namjoon with a burning stare and clenched jaw.
"If you say no now, it won't be me who will kill you or my men, it will be the other Yukai." Hearing that Jin's blood started to boil, she was really making him enraged. Slowly turning his head to Cyra he licked his lips.
"You are a bitch you know that?" Jin spoke.
"Do you want us dead like right now or what man?" Suga hissed at Jin.
"Oh, I know. But there is a possibility that he doesn't kill you. Maybe he will ask you to work for him, and then I'll kill you." Cyra responded with a big smile forming on her face.
"You had this planned out from the beginning," Jungkook mumbled under his breath, Cyra barely heard him. But he was more than right, she had a plan written in her mind. She had everything planned from the beginning till the end.
"Your choice," Cyra said and sat back down in her seat crossing her legs elegantly like a lady she was. Namjoon swallowing hard waited for his hyungs to turn towards him. They all looked troubled.
"Namjoon, what now?" Jimin asked looking at his leader. Namjoon was already in difficulties with the drug and now this. They were in a big trap.
"What do we lose if we say yes?" Taehyung glanced towards Cyra.
"Nothing, you only gain," Cyra said calmly stroking the dog beside her. Taehyung turned back to Namjoon tilting his head to one side. Namjoon's palms were sweating, he wasn't sure what was going on. It wasn't just the fear of dying, it was fear of the woman in front of him. He knew what she was capable of, he heard the stories. But he didn't want his friends to lose their life because of something he initiated.
"Miss Yukai." Namjoon suddenly said, his voice deep and demanding. "Let's bargain," Namjoon said getting away from his members and sitting down on his seat opposite Cyra.
"If we say yes to the first offer, and we work with you for a month and we don't like it and we bailout, we can not work for your brother or be active ever again as Rising Phoneix. And you spare our lives. I think that's fair." Namjoon requested. Cyra thought about it for a moment. Namjoon nervously waited for her answer, he could feel the sweat on the back of his neck, down his spine,
"Deal." Hearing that the boys finally felt the air around them becoming lighter.
"Really?" Jimin asked looking at Cyra. She agreed to this so fast, without any further bargain, it was suspicious to him.
"Yes," Cyra said getting up and walking to Namjoon that stood up turning to her.
"Do we then have a deal?" Cyra said holding her hand out to the leader. Namjoon looked at every member. Each one of them giving him a nod. Taking a deep breath Namjoon took Cyra's hand in his.
"It's a deal, Miss Yukai."
„Wait, what about the money?" Jin suddenly asked making Cyra look at him while still holding Namjoon's hand.
„You'll get the money after your first job, but for now I have something else for you," Cyra said letting Namjoon's hand go and walking toward the entrance door, the dogs on her tail.
„Follow me," Cyra said giving them a quick smile opening the door and walking out. The first person that followed her was of course Namjoon. Everyone followed Namjoon out the door but Jungkook stayed inside looking at the man in the shadows leaning on a wall. Jungkook found him weird. He didn't say a word inside this meeting, neither did anyone pay attention to him. He was silently standing in the shadows. Jungkook couldn't help but glance a few times at the man. Taking his eyes off of the man he looked at the files again in front of him. His fingers slowly getting over the one he got.
„Not sure about it?" Jungkook heard a gravelly voice as the person came closer to him. It was Geun with his hands in the pockets of his light jeans. Jungkook looking at the man over his shoulder didn't answer.
„You'll need the files, and you have them already at your place," Geun said and Jungkook scoffed hitting the file hard with his middle finger turning to Geun. Geun was bigger than him. Jungkook found his body perspective normal with very wide shoulders unlike his. Jungkook had a lean body.
"Who are you in all this?" Jungkook rudely asked the man. Geun gave a little smirk to Jungkoook before answering.
"Her right hand," Geun said. " Relax, no one is getting killed right?" Geun said giving an evil chuckle to Jungkook while getting out. Jungkook with clenched jaw unwillingly got out the cottage down the stairs. Walking down to the back of the cottage Jungkook spotted a black van and a car. The black van looked suspicious to him but seeing the smile of Taehyung made him relax. Taehyung was happy that no one was getting killed, and that was actually calming Jungkook down. Taehyung's comforting smile. Jungkook looked at Cyra that was standing by the doors of the van holding some keys in her hand. Jungkook decided to stand next to Taehyung while Geun stayed in the back.
"I think you are gonna like this Kim Namjoon. " Cyra said giving a short grin to Namjoon before opening the doors of the van leaving all of them in shock. In the van were cocaine, heroin, amphetamine, LSD, and others. The van was full of it. Namjoon with an open mouth was looking at his solvation, still not believing that it's in front of him. "This is my gift to you for a good start to our partnership. I'll call you on your first job." Cyra said slowly walking towards Namjoon pressing the keys of the van on his chest making him look at her. "My advice, read the files. You already have them at home." Cyra said letting her hand drop to her side as she slowly started to walk towards Geun. She caught a glance from Jungkook what made her smirk. He is an interesting one, she thought. "Namjoon, do you like it?" Cyra asked Namjoon over her shoulder when she was standing next to Geun. Namjoon looked at the drugs and he couldn't help but smile.
"I love it." Hearing that Cyra smiled pleased and walked back to the stairs of the cottage the dogs once again following her.
"Well, good luck. " Geun said giving a nod to Namjoon that he returned. Glancing once more at Jungkook, Geun followed his friend into the cottage. Namjoon followed the man with his eyes until he couldn't see him anymore on the stairs. Turning to the van, he heard Jin and Taehyung laughing happily.
"I can believe this just happened. " Taehyung said playfully hitting Jungkook's shoulder while Jin was jumping around.
„ She just fixed our problem with Daichi Fukui," Jin said with a big grin on his face. Namjoon hearing the name of his buyer let a relaxed breath out. Daichi is no joke, he has people and the police. Namjoon doesn't need any problems with him „And on top of that, we have even more drug than we need," Jin added putting his hands on Namjoon's shoulders looking him deeply in the eyes. "Hyung, this is awesome!"
"We still have to check how good the drug is, after that we can celebrate," Namjoon said with a chuckle escaping his throat after he said that. "Now, let's go."
„Maybe this wasn't a bad idea after all," Jin stated taking his car keys out.
„You can't know that yet Jin, "Jungkook said as he approached Namjoon that was giving him his car keys. „We could be also dead because of her next week."
„Oh come one Jungkookie," Jimin said putting his head behind Jungkook on his shoulder. Looking like a kitten wanting to cuddle „We all know that there is no one that can destroy us." Jimin saying that made Jungkook smirk.
„You're right Jiminshi," Jungkook said turning towards him still with that clear smirk on his face. „ No one, can't take us down," Jungkook said putting his right hand on Jimin's shoulder. „But she isn't no one, and neither is her brother." Hearing that Jimin swallowed. „But we are the rising phoenix, and we can't die," Jungkook said looking at Namjoon who was looking at them with a proud cocky smile.
„From the fire, we are born," Namjoon said putting his hand in front of all of them.
„with a fearless mind and soul." Taehyung put his hand on top of Namjoon's.
„Tired and in pain," Suga said doing the same.
„We die a little," Said Jin putting his hand on Suga's looking at Namjoon.
„to be reborn again," Hoseok added with a smile.
„We burn and, " Jimin said putting his hand on Hoesoks. Everyone looked at Jungkook who was looking at them with a blank face. They were waiting for his line, to complete their little goofy vow. Looking at everyone's faces a curved smile formed on Jungkook's lips. Slowly he put his hand on Jimin's and looked at his leader. Namjoon gave him a wink that made Jungkook look at the rest of his team.
„and from ashes, we rise." Jungkook finished with a big unsettling grin.
„Rising Phoenix!" They all said laughing together. Namjoon hearing that laugh realized how happy he is to have them all. Maybe they were criminals, maybe they were sometimes repulsive and rough. But they were at the same time kids, sweet, funny, and definitely outgoing.
"Okay, okay let's go," Namjoon said with a smile closing the van and hoping in the driver seat.
"Who comes last is making dinner!" Jin screamed running towards his car which made Hoseok and Suga run after him into the car.
"Game on!" Namjoon said through the open window.
"Not fair we are not yet in the fucking car!" Taehyung said running towards Namjoon's car with Jimin while Jungkook slowly walked to the driver seat.
"Well, not our fault!" Namjoon screamed through the open window as he started the engine and right after him Jin. Jungkook jumped into the car, Taehyung and Jimin doing the same.
"Drive!" Jimin screamed from the back seat what made Jungkook only glare at Jimin as he started the car.
"We will cook anyways because we are the youngest," Jungkook said as he looked up, to the window where he saw Cyra looking down at them. "But we can at least come before Namjoon," Jungkook said as he slowly started to drive away from the cottage.
"Jin hyung?" Jimin asked what Taehyung couldn't help but let a mean laugh.
"You are joking right?" Tae said looking at Jimin. "There is no way we can beat Jin," Taehyung said as he glanced at Jungkook that totally agreed with Taheyung.
"Then let's beet Namjoon!" Jimin said as Jungkook started to speed down the forest path like a maniac.
Cyra was watching everything from the window, admiring the friendship they had. They seemed like a family.
"They seem pretty close." She heard Geun say. She turned around looking at him. Geun was sitting on the couch with the black dog by his side as he was stroking him. Geun always had a cold face, his eyes looked very frightening when he wanted them to be, but he also had that charm of his that made him irresistible. With her, Geun could behave normally, he didn't have to act, he could be himself around her without any fear of being judged.
"They are," Cyra claimed as she walked towards the couch opposite Geun. "This is going to be fun."
"Aren't you afraid they'll turn against you?" Geun asked glancing up at her.
"No. They seem too afraid for that." Cyra said as she crossed her legs Indian style on the couch. "Poker?" Cyra asked raising her eyebrow with a playfully smirk playing on her lips. Geun only chuckled at that taking the cards under the table and putting them on the desk. Geun started to take his jacket off bur Cyra stopped him.
"Don't, you'll gonna need more clothes if you don't wanna be naked too soon," Cyra said taking the cards in her hands as she silently giggled at her friend that slowly put his jacket back on. Cyra was really good at poker, but at other games too. She never loses at anything.
She is too competitive because she was taught never to lose.
