THE ACE

Chapter - 41

AUTHOR POV

"Kamsahamnida!"

The man curtly bowed and pulled his car out of the mall, carrying on with his job as a designated taxi driver.
He drove through the busy roads of Seoul while whistling a popular Girls Generation song that was playing on the radio.

It was mid-day as he kept glancing around, rooting for any passengers who would want a ride to any specific place.
While doing so, his vision raised up and fell on a digital billboard. His eyes widened while he tried to divert his attention back to the road.

"What the fuck."
He murmured to himself.

~ AT THE LAKEWOOD CAFETERIA ~

Considering what happened the last time in the cafeteria, all the TV'S had been purposely switched off. Not like it made any difference to the crowd of youngsters.

They were busy chattering away about anything and everything, many of them gossiping about the same subject, The Big3 families and their catastrophic secrets.

The Big3 was extremely close to losing the fear and attention they held amongst the students. The fellow students were now becoming bolder and were blabbering stuff on their faces, knowing that the Big3 have almost lost their power and dignity.

But they weren't the ones to shy away or show cowardice. They were always the ones to bounce back no matter what happened. Park Sooyoung was being bullied again but this time, she was the one to act strong and keep her guard up. Senior-junior couples like Jin and Jisoo, Seulgi and Chanyeol, Jennie and Yoongi; were facing major backlash because of the age difference. But you could tell none of them were fazed by it. They liked each other too much to care about something so trivial. On the other hand, you could say that Soojin and Taehyung were like the couple who were both hated and loved. Hated because Soojin took the handsome man away from his 'fangirls' and loved because they looked pretty good together. Well, you could clearly say that Park Chaeyoung was one of the haters, but because of other reasons.

The familiar chatters toned down when the cafeteria doors opened, to reveal four masked men. One of them held a huge speaker in one hand, keeping it down, once inside. The other man held a microphone, beginning to speak once he knew he had the students' attention.

"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,"

His deep voice resonated through the speaker.

"The CEO and Chairman of the Kim empire is not who you think he is. The man, Mr. Kim, who has three kids and was always seen loyal to his wife, had an affair with Park Chaeyoung's mother. Connecting the dots, it's clear that Ms. Roseanne Park is a part of the Big3. Think about it long and hard and you will catch on to it."

As the man finished the shot paragraph and turned back, he found the one and only Park Jimin closing the doors to the Cafè.

Jimin, with a stoic face slowly walked over to the four masked men dressed in all black. Once he was in front of them, he didn't waste a second and spoke up, his voice loud and clear.

"Who are you? Aren't you the ones behind my father's death, the Kangs' revelation and now this?

So tell me who you work for and what's going on or else,

fight me."

The masked man who spilled the secret, spoke up again in a confident tone.

"Okay, let's fight."

That's all it took for the other Big3 boys to get up, ready to fight these unknown bastards who had ruined their lives.

As Junmyeon, Chanyeol, Yoongi, Namjoon, Seokjin took angry, long steps in Jimin's direction, the Park maknae threw a hard punch at the man's jaw, knocking him down.
