Stay With Me

Chapter Thirteen

Ten Years Ago, 

Bulgaria

Bulgaria, a stunning Balkan nation known for its diverse landscapes, attracts tourists from around the globe. However, it's not just the breathtaking scenery that draws attention; the country is also infamous for its criminal underworld.

At the heart of this dark realm lies a fierce rivalry between two powerful Mafia families: the Jeon and the Kim. The entire nation was aware of the ruthless feud between these two families. Their animosity ran so deep that it had led to numerous casualties on both sides, yet neither family showed any intention of halting the bloody conflict that had persisted for years. 

This rivalry cast a shadow over Bulgaria, instilling fear in the hearts of its citizens. At that moment, the Jeon members were on a critical mission, all connected through their earpieces.

"Guys, get ready. We need to start the job," a voice crackled through the headsets.

"We're ready, JK. Just waiting for the target," came a response.

"Chim, what's your position?" another voice chimed in.

"The item is being secured in the upper room above the party venue. There are six guards, each armed with an AK-47," replied Chim, a small man with glasses, from a black van parked nearby as he monitored his computer screen.

"RJ, confirm your position," JK instructed.

"I'm at the entrance of the hall, ready to move. Everyone's busy downstairs," RJ responded.

"Alright, RM and Suga, get into position too. We're set to go. Chim, confirm," JK ordered.

"Path clear. Confirmed. RJ is ready to move," Chim said as he hacked into the security system.

"Now you people will see only what I will show you," he mumbled while switching camera feeds in the security room.

On his screen, a strikingly handsome man with broad shoulders appeared in the hallway. The guards instantly tensed and aimed their weapons at him.

"Stop! I'm lost. Can you help me?" he said alluringly. The guards exchanged glances as the handsome man began to remove his clothing.

"Oh my God! He's taking off his clothes!" Chim exclaimed excitedly.

"What? I'm going in!" RM's voice broke through.

"Calm down RM. We all know you have a thing for RJ, but keep your cool," another member teased.

"Alright, let's see how Mr. Suga handles it when Chim shows some skin in front of strangers," RM shot back, causing Chim to blush.

"How dare you?" Suga growled.

"Quiet both of you! Now's not the time. Focus! Chim, report!" JK demanded.

"RJ has successfully distracted them with his antics. It's time for you to move, JK," Chim replied.

Just then, lights began to flicker. The guards were on high alert when suddenly a gas canister exploded, knocking all but RJ unconscious. With his face covered, RJ stood up as two figures—a tall man and a young boy—entered through the windows. 

RM quickly approached RJ and draped his suit over him, "You need to get out of here and wait in the van with Chim," RM instructed.

RJ nodded and slipped away while the two men approached a large safe. RM swiftly set to work on it; it took exactly three and a half minutes to crack open. They peered inside to find what they were after: a trove of diamonds.
