I can hear a few voices, and I start to feel worried. However, I decide to listen to what he says. I have no idea who's in the room, but I have a feeling that I don't want to know. Judging by Jungkook's face, he looked really worried.

A few steps and mumbles can be heard, but I'm not able to distinguish what's happening. I place my ear next to the door to listen.

"What are you doing here?" Jungkook's voice is clear.

Someone laughs. "Please, Jeon, you know why we're here."

"I know, but I don't know why you came here, to the gym." Jungkook continues with a dry voice.

"We haven't gotten any news from you for a few days, why is that?" A deep voice speaks.

"Listen, because I'll only tell you one time, and if I have to repeat it it'll be with my fist in your face." Jungkook's tone makes me shiver. "I'll talk with Namjoon when I gain more information, not before. So take your friend and get out of here, and I better not see you around here anymore."

He laughs. "Are you threatening me?"

"Take it how ever you want to."

I hear footsteps, and for the last time, someone talks: "Talk to Namjoon, they need news from you."

After that comment, it becomes completely silent. The door in front of me opens. Jungkook looks at me with attention, worried, but I don't move. He takes my hand and pulls me out of the small room.

"Sorry, I don't want to get you into these issues." He apologizes. "You can't trust those people."

"Who we're they?" I dare to ask.

"Namjoon sent them, they're his private investigators." He says running his fingers through his hair. "They're imbeciles."

"Private investigators?" I say curiously. "Why...?

"Areum, I prefer to keep you out of this."

"You said you would tell me truth, that you wouldn't hide things from me anymore." I get upset. "Apparently you can't keep your promises."

"You hide me from your father, and I don't complain."

"That has nothing to do with this, you... stop changing the topic!" I walk away. "Every time I bring something up, you always change it to something that has less value."

"Listen to me, Areum, please." He takes my arm and turns me around. "I'll tell you, okay? But you have to promise that you won't tell Hyerin."

"But she's my best friend, we tell each other every-"

"Jimin doesn't know either, so I need you to not tell anyone, understand?" He explains nervously. "If I tell you, it's because I trust you."

I nod. "Okay, I won't tell anyone."

"Promise." He says to my surprise.

"I promise." I say without doubting it.

He looks at me not convinced. "Namjoon thinks that... there's a spy among us."

"A spy?" I ask incredulous, almost wanting to laugh.

"A rat. Someone who pretends to be one of us, but is actually a part of the Red Spirits, the other group." He explains altered. "And they want me to figure out who it is, but as of now I don't have any information."

I nod. "Yeah, what I don't understand is... what exactly is the spy looking for?"

"Well... that I don't know, sometimes they want to see how much money we're able to transport, other times they want to see if we're transporting drugs on their territory..." He sighs. "Although I think this is different, I think it's for something else."
