Bittersweet

1: She

"The terror of the town. The vicious murderer, the monster, Queen Of Hearts, has finally been caught."

The girl with long, messy hair jingled her handcuffs. The smirk on her well sculpted face made her seem more like a pyschopath. Her heterochromic eyes made her stand out. But behind those blue-brown pupils were a madness. Her Sanpaku eyes were cold and demanded mystery. Her every single gesture reeked of pure madness, seduction and darkness. Her honey tanned skin, red lips, deep dimples. She suited her name. The Queen Of Hearts.

"Listen..."
She shot her eyes up at the well built man. She scanned him thoroughly before bitterly chuckling at him. He was handsome. It never hurt her wanting men like him. Tall, well-built, has authority.
"Think I got another choice rather than listening to whatever trash you say? You weak bastards..."
"Shut your fucking mouth!"
Taehyung threw the files in his hands away and slapped the table. But she didn't flinch. It didn't surprise Taehyung much. She was the Queen Of Hearts, after all. Taehyung kicked the chair and brought it in front of him. He manspreaded and rubbed his temples. She spat at the ground,
"You weak bastards have to chain up a girl who has no ammos to kill you. Who the fuck assembled this force?"
"Stay in your fucking limits lady! If I step out of this room they are not going to go easy!"
"Oo! I'm so scared!"
She chuckled sarcastically. She was jerking her body up and down as her laughter echoed all across the cell. Taehyung rubbed his temples.
She bit her lips. He looked hot. She reminded her of someone. Ace. The only man who made her a submissive. And now this one. They both had some similar features, not gonna lie. But he was a save player.

On the other hand, Taehyung inhaled sharply. He needs to get everything out of her before they decide to throw her in that dark cell. He calmly said,
"You would step out of this cell in one piece if you know how to act like a good girl."
She leaned back on the cold metal chair. With an unbothered expression and her signature smirk, she replied,
"Nah! Good girls always miss all the fun. I'm staying the way I am officer Hot Stuff."
"Stop making it hard..."
"Well, not my fault that you can't control your hormones."
Taehyung kicked the steel chair away and left the room. As soon as he left the room, he muttered in his deep voice,
"Fuck!"
His brain started making theories. The small voice inside kept murmuring,
"That girl really is something. She isn't called the queen of hearts without a reason. She can just seduce me with just a glance. How am I being seduced by a criminal? God Damn it Taehyung!"
The paper cups fell out of his long, attractive fingers. His cheeks and neck were heated up. He somehow managed to pour himself a cold glass of water.

"Hey Tae! Here's the file."
Jimin said as he handed his bestfriend a heavy green file. Taehyung rubbed the sweat off of his forehead,
"Thanks Jimin."
Jimin chuckled,
"Why were you all frustrated Tae? The Queen of Hearts got you worked up?"
Taehyung sighed. He never thought he would have to admit this but he has to. She really got him worked up.
"Yeah. She's a tough nut."
"Well, charm her. Make her head over heels for you. Hwaiting!"
Taehyung smiled at his friend. He then walked towards his office.

He sunk in his chair and opened the green file. With big, bold, red letters it said,

"PLAYERS"

Taehyung flipped the pages, hoping that there would be some information. Taehyung started reading.

"Builder Choi Min-shu, found dead in his building site. He was shot multiple times and beside him lied a playing card, the Ace. On it was, written in pure, crimson blood, 'Players'. There were no fingerprints or evidence of who did it."

"1 million Won were given away  to several orphanages, hospitals and old age homes. The money was sent from Choi Min-Shu's account but the signature stated, 'Players'. No one still knows who this mysterious group of  'Players' are."

Taehyung threw the file on his desk. There was no information about her. Or her gang. She felt like an open book but written in a language unknown. There were almost 150 pages of paper cutting, scribbles and theories written about the "Players".

A paper slipped out of the green file. With big, bold letters it said,

"ACE"

Taehyung's hands rushed towards the paper. He picked it in his hands. His eyes glided all across it.

JEON JUNGKOOK : ACE
AGE : 25 (APPROXIMATELY)
BLOOD TYPE : A
ACTS LIKE A GANG LEADER OF THE PLAYERS
CAN SEDUCE PEOPLE REAL QUICK
GREAT WITH FIGHTS AND ANY KINDS OF AMMO
DOESN'T CARE MUCH
COMPANIONS : THE QUEEN OF HEARTS (QUEEN/ Q. H)
KING OF DIAMONDS (K. D/ KING D)
QUEEN OF DIAMONDS (DIAMOND/ Q.D)
JACK OF CLUBS (J.C)
JOKER (J)

Taehyung re-read the paper twice. Jungkook was the Ace. After Jungkook, the second in lead was Queen of Hearts. Queen for short. But there's nothing more.

Taehyung's head felt heavy. He unbuttoned his collar and leaned in his chair. That's it? That's all they ever got out of Ace? After all the torture? After all the psychological work? Nothing but nicknames?

"Yeah come in please."
Taehyung cleared his throat and regained his posture. Jisoo walked through the door. She sat opposite of Taehyung. With her deliteful smile, she started talking,
"Taehyung-ah, why are you so stressed?"
"It's nothing Jisoo-ssi. Just the case."
"You need any help?"
"Not until now."
Taehyung displayed a smile. Jisoo was always this kind. He liked that about Jisoo. They were best friends after all. Jisoo smiled,
"Of course. It's only one girl. You have to go to the torture cell now if you want the Queen of Hearts in one piece."
Taehyung jumped to his feet. He had forgotten about this completely. He thanked Jisoo as he made a run towards the cell. He needs to keep the queen in his deck. He has already lost the Ace. If he loses the Queen, be loses the whole game.
