THE ACE

Chapter - 11

YOONGI POV

I put the mic down, threw my hands up in the air and waved at the audience as they were cheering for me.

"HAIL AGUST D!"

"VICTORY FOR AGUST D!"

"AYE AYE CHAMPION!!!"

"YOU'RE SO HOT!!"

I smirked underneath my diamond studded mask upon hearing the last comment and winked at the women who were practically drooling all over me.

Yes, I got victory for The ACE in an underground rap battle yet again. Agust D is my stage name and the name that the underground knows as 'The ACE's top dog in rapping'.

Nobody knows my real name in the mafia and I wish to keep it like that. I started working for the ACE three years ago when the said mafia boss desperately needed someone to participate in the underground rap battles and contests and make their name in yet another field of the underground.

Why did I join the mafia? Well there's no particular reason. Although one could be that my family isn't in the favour of me becoming a rapper so might as well just do it as my passion by being an anonymous person.

I turned on my heels and made my way to the backstage while fixing my sweaty hair.

As soon as I entered the backstage, the ACE'S employees handed me a bottle of water and a towel. I gave them a small bow and was met by the site of the ACE themselves. The said person was standing at a distance with their hands behind their back and sharp eyes set on my figure.

They walked over to me and extended their hand out for me to shake.

"Congratulations on yet another victory Agust D." the boss said formally as I shook their hand and said,

"Thank you boss." I gave a respectful bow as they returned it.

"I indeed didn't make a mistake in choosing you as my top dog three years ago eh?" The ACE said and chuckled.

The ACE has always seemed very familiar to me. Those eyes, the way they walk, talk; everything. But I never questioned their privacy as they chose to not question mine and hence, we don't know how each other's real face or name.

"Yes maybe" I said and laughed it off aswell.

"And yes, Agust D, I know that recently you have been preoccupied with your personal life so it will be perfectly fine if you want to take a break. Felix will take over for you." the boss said as we made our way out.

"Oh no boss, everything is fine now so I think I'll be coming over regularly to participate in the battles. That shouldn't be a problem anymore."

I said with a small smile on my face. Although it isn't in my nature to be so informal with the biggest mafia boss in Seoul; their concern and care for their employees is what helped me keep my ground in this empire.

"That's great then, I'll get going. Good day Agust D."

The ACE said as I realised that we're already in the parking lot. The said boss drove off in their Lamborghini as I sighed and went to my car aswell.

THE ACE POV

I stepped on the accelerator and sped up as I thought,
'why is Agust D so familiar and why can't I identify who he is?'

Me and Agust D have always had this unsaid rule where we don't question each other's identities under the masks.
At one point, my curiousity increased to such an extent that I was about to tell one of our tech employees to do a background research on him.
