You were running. A lot of things were on your mind. Your life took a 360 turn in the last 24 hours. You took a train to baesan and you were searching for the house that the old man gave you. You were feeling bad and guilty that you were the reason he died. You rubbed your hands together, the cold was killing you. Regretting not bringing a coat with you you pulled your hood up covering your ears.

You looked down at the note and looked closely at each and every house. The area looked abandoned. Not many house were here instead there were small huts. You reached the end of the lane as you looked at the last house and sighed when the address on your hand and in front of you were same. Puttinh your hands inside your pockets you made your way inside the gate. You knocked twice and stood behind waiting for someone to open the door. After what seemed like forever you were about to knock again when the door opened and you were startled. You looked up to see a tall guy, he looked like he was in his early twenties and you could swear that he was one of the most handsome man you've ever seen. You gulped feeling intimidated by his appearance.

- Did that old uncle sent you?

The guy asked as you blinked and nodded slowly. He moved aside and you got inside. You were shivering because of the cold as you sat down on the mat arms wrapped around your body searching for any kind of warmth. The boy looked at you as he sighed and went inside a room amd came back with a blanket. He passrd you the blanket as you thanked him and wrapped the blanket around your body. He went inside another room and came out with a coffee. You touched the hot cup as you thanked him again.

- I will call the others.

He said as you looked up confused.

- Others who?

You asked as he frowned before answering

- Did manager son didn't say anything?

At the mention of his name you looked down eyes threatening to tear up.

- H-he only managed to say some things before s-some people came and t-they..

You couldn't complete the sentence as you broke in sobs. You wanted to vanish from here from this situation you still couldn't believe that you caused someone's death. Upon hearing your cries the young man understood what the situation was. He looked down as he bit his lip.

- I will inform others about his demise.

The young man said before getting out of the house. And when he came back there were at least 15 people with him. You noticed two old people and the rest were either in their mid thirties or in their twenties like the boy you met. Everyone were looking at you until an old woman came forward. She wasn't that old but her clothes and her wrinkles made her look more old than usual. She put a hand on your face as she sobbed.

- You look so much like your mother my dear.

She said and you didn't know what to say. You just looked down and you noticed that the ring on her finger was similar to Manager Choi. You looked up to see the old woman.

- D-Did he suffered? Did they make him suffer before his death?

She asked slowly as you shook your head. Holding her hands you soothed her.

- He passed away peacefully ma'am.

You silently informed as the lady was crying furiously. Just then the door opened and a young girl who was almost same age as you came inside, her eyes were puffy and her face was red.

- Were you the one who saw my grandpa's death?

She asked as you sniffed and nodded. You were scared she would scold you and give you the responsibility for grandpas death. But instead she came near her grandma and sobbed with her.

- I am so sorry.

- Aigo no need to apologize dear. I am happy that he sacrificed himself for Madam Deok's daughter. That is my pride.

The old lady said but you could still see the sadness on her face.

- So what do you want us to do?

The girl next to grandma asked. You looked at her confused.

- I have to still think about it. But don't worry I am sure Park Beom-Seok will be defeated this time. He won't be the Mafia boss this time. I have all the assets and properties my mother left for me. He has used my mother enough now I will not tolerate it.

- So what are you going to do now?

The young man asked as you sighed.

- I would like to introduce myself now as you guys don't know me and neither do I. So let's get to know each other first. Hello I am Deok Y/N. I have been tortured by Park Beom Seok for 19 years of my life I don't want sympathy I just want all of our anger and our tears to be one and then only we will be able to defeat the monster who made us all suffer.

And just like that slowly everyone started to introduce themselves and started saying their own stories. You looked at the young man who was standing behind everyone leaning on the wall. He sighed

- I am Lee Dong Min or Cha Eunwoo anything is okay.

He stated as you raised your eye brows asking him to say further.

- I was held captive by your father. I saw my parents dying in front of my eyes that's my story.

You felt a pang when he said 'your father' but it was the truth no matter what you will be his daughter.

- I am Son Chaeyoung. Just like him I was held captive and saw my parents dying but I ran away from there and I lived with my grandparents.

She said as you looked down feeling immensely hurt that because of your father so many people suffered and died.

- I cannot take your pain away but I will make sure to take revenge. I will do that! Trust me.

You said as you saw smiles on their faces and you smiled too. You got up as you searched your bag. There was some money you got after you sold some of the things you had.

- Are you all hungry? I am a great cook.

You said as everyone cheered and clapped and you felt soft. A man took the money and bought some groceries from the nearby store.

- So you all live here?

You asked Chaeyoung as she shook her head.

- This place was given to us by your mother. Technically this land is yours but we live here. Anyways, me and eunwoo graduated not long ago. Only the old people live here. It is like a safe place for us. Although not many young people live here we spent our entire childhood here.

She explained as you nodded your head. She reminded you so much of Jeongyeon. You were starting to miss everyone but you knew better. You took responsibility of these people and it was your job to provide them a better life. You both took the groceries and went inside the kitchen.

- What are you making?

- Shall we make Kimchi stew? Along with Jjangmyeon?

She nodded her head enthusiastically as you let out a chuckle. Eunwoo came inside the kitchen as he looked at both of you.

- Chae go outside I need to talk something with her.

- Ah why? I am helping her you can talk later.

- Chae get out

He said sternly as she rolled her eyes and went outside. You looked at the young man as he took steps towards you. You looked down as you started to cut the onions. Eunwoo came and stood beside you as you turned to look at him. He was still walking as you were walking backwards until your back touched the wall

- The words you spoke outside, were those only for giving us fake hope or do you actually plan on doing something?

He asked as he took one more step near you and you took one back.

- Why would you think that I would give you fake hope? I am serious about this.

- Really? Then why do I feel like you're a coward who will back away?

- I won't back away-

- oh, is that so? Then why are you taking steps back instead of facing the problem?

Your back touched the wall as you looked up to see him and just then you put the knife which was in your hand in front of him as he let out a laugh before leaning in and keeping his neck on the edge of the knife.

- You really think I am afraid of death? Don't think that I don't know about you being with Kim Taehyung.

Upon hearing his name your eyes widened as he smirked.

- I am not with Bangtan anymore. I have no reason to be. I ran away from there and took the papers which were so important for him. I am sure he would never find me here.

- You ran away instead of facing him. Coward.

- What about you? Didn't you run away from Boss Park too? Hypocrite.

You said as it was your turn to smirk now. You released yourself from there as you stood in front of the stove and resumed your work.

- Believe me. I do plan on taking revenge from a very long time ago-

Just then you both heard noises from outside. Running towards the hall you stood still in your tracks when you saw who was there.

- Hello Park Y/N. Long time no see?

- Kim Taehyung.

You whispered.

~

Everyone were in the monitor room tracking your gps. Both SeokJin and Jeongyeon were on it.

- When did you even gave her that bracelet?

Jennie asked as Taehyung smirked looking at everyone

- You all have that one thing which will show me where you are, what you are doing.

Everyone scoffed amused as Taehyung just shrugged.

- I am amazed that she did not threw that bracelet away.

Jungkook said laughing

- I knew she is emotional and thats why when I gave her that I told her that it was her mother's.

- Ah that's why.

- She is in Baesan.

SeokJin said. His voice stern, he was silent from morning. He felt deeply hurt and was regretting lying to you. In these times, he was looking at you as his little sister he lost years ago because of Boss Park. And you were filling in her place and he was ashamed that he lied to you.

- Busan? How did she reach Busan so fast?

Jimin asked bewildered as Jeongyeon let out a sigh before smacking his arm.

- Not Busan you idiot Baesan!

She corrected him as he nodded.

- Then let's go and take her back.

~

You were staring at the people you once called your family. Everyone tried to avoid eye contact but you were glaring at them. Shooting daggers with your eyes especially at Taehyung.

- Don't look at me like that princess, it turns me on.

He said winking as you just clenched your jaws.

- How did you know that I am here?

- I am Kim Taehyung, I can do anything.

A smug expression formed on his face as you took three large steps to punch the fuck out of him when Eunwoo and Chaeyoung held you back.

- let me go! I will dislocate your jaw I will ruin your fucking face you asshole!

You shouted as Eunwoo pushed you on the chair.

- Y/N, violence is the option.

He said sternly as you sat down, your breathing was fast as Taehyung looked at the scene with an amused look on his face. Just then the grandma came outside her room as she looked at Taehyung shocked. She pointed her finger at him as he looked at her with a blank expression.

- Kim Hwan?

She muttered as Taehyung face hardened upon hearing the name. The old lady came near the mafia as she grazed her hand on his face.

- Was your father Kim Hwan?

She asked slowly but Taehyung did not answer.

- It was right? Omo, you look so much like your father. But yes, you have Jiyeons eyes. Omo dear, I cannot believe this. It feels as if I am seeing both my closest friends young again, one Kim Hwan and Madam Deok

She said as she looked at you. Everyone were silent and confused. Bangtan members who were not looking into your eyes were looking ag both you and Taehyung.

- What is all this about?

Hoseok said frowning as Jimin who was beside him just shrugged. Namjoon Nayeon Jungkook and Jennie decided to stay at the mansion as they were preparing for their next moves. Taehyung removed the grandmas hands from his face.

- Yes you're right. I am their son. But don't be mistaken thinking that I am as good as them because I am not.

He stated as you frowned not understanding what was happening but you remembered the old mans words that how Boss Park killed your mother's best friend and her husband Kim Hwan. Your eyes widened at the realization.

- And you!

You looked up seeing Taehyung looking at you as he walked towards you.

- Come back with me

- No

- Bold of you to assume that this was a request or an offer princess. When will you realize that you don't have a choice? Come back with me.

He said as you stood up from the chair pushing it back.

- I won't. I took responsibility of these people, keeping them safe and taking their revenge is my job now. So Kim Taehyung I won't come back with you.

Upon hearing your words Taehyung scoffed

- Responsibility? Protecting them? You cannot take care of your own self what will you take responsibility of them. And keeping them safe? Oh please, you have half the country who is back of you. Your father is searching for you like a madman you will end up dead and getting them killed. Face the reality.

He said as you were silent. Your hands formed in a fist and your were sure the way your nails were dugging inside your skin it will leave ugly bruises. Taehyung smirked when he saw that you were silent. He started to circle around you as if you were his prey and him a predator

- So here comes my deal. Join me. Me you and all these people in this room only want revenge from Park Beom- Seok. So let's join hands I will train the young people here, make them ready for war. And as for old people, Bangtan takes responsibility for their protection. So what do you say?

He stopped circling you as he stood in front of you. He again left you no choice there was never a choice. You stood no chance in front of Kim Taehyung.

- Why should we join hands with you? Aren't you an enemy too?

Eunwoo said as he stood back of you. He remembered the words of his father ' you will always protect and stand with Madam Deoks daughter. She is the only hope we have. You must be with her at all cost' That was his fathers last words for him and grandpa always used to say that no matter what you will come back one day so he always waited for you and now that you were here a sense of duty arose inside him.

- Aren't enemys enemy friends?

Taehyung said raising his eyebrow smirking.

- The last decision will be yours, you are our leader so decide what you want to do.

Eunwoo said as he rested his hand on your shoulder tapping it. You felt confused. You looked at the grandma who was behind Taehyung as she smiled and nodded her head.

- We will join but we do have some conditions.

- And what would those be?

- First, all of them will have a separate house. Second, I want all of those assets and the lands which mother left for should be . Third, you will let us know and plan and I am being very serious while saying this. You will not hide any plans or discussions with us. Do you accept?

You asked as you folded your hands around your chest. Taehyung thought about it for a moment.

- Deal. But there is one condition you know how much important those files are for us right? I will make them officially yours only if you will be officially mine. Marry me.
