"I...We're friends, right...But...can you...Could you help me?" Taehyung frowns.
"Help you how?" He whispers and Yeona doesn't look at him.
"Move on." Taehyung frowns. He hates the idea of being a person she uses to move on. But at that very moment...

"What the fuck are you talking about? I told you to send him another threat why haven't I had a call from this fucked up thief?!"
The middle-aged man throws the table over, shouting in the echoing room.
Everyone looks away, terrified of looking him in the eye.
"Do you even know why we're doing this?" He shouts again and everyone just looks down, not daring to look up.
"There are fifteen of these thieves. They took it upon themselves to take down our business. 12 of our guys are rotting behind bars. And those two guys, Lee and Kim, have destroyed one third of our assets. We can't go after their two kids who are starting to be famous. That trick is over. That Lee girl was supposed to live and deliver a message, not be in coma in some hospital! Mistakes will cost your lives."
The angry man takes his gun out and in a swift move, two men drop dead, a bullet in each of their brains.
"That was for messing up that mission. A dead girl won't be of any use. Now I'll make a payment for the best treatments to be delivered to her and the message will be delivered."
The man sits down on his large leather seat and scrolls on a tablet.
"Sir, if I may, would it be safe to let people know we're not all rotting behind bars?"
Angry eyes look up at the man who just spoke and the mafia boss puts down the tablet.
"Did I ask for your useless opinion?" His voice is threatening and full of uncontrolled anger.
"I- no. I mean. I just figured that...since we killed that Lee dude back then..." a single lifted eyebrow is enough to shut the shy man up.
"This will be the last warning. I need my money back. Go to the families' houses, threaten them in any way you want. Out of the fifteen, we've eliminated four. But that doesn't change that we still need that money back. You have a week."
With that said, the tall man stands and smashes the tablet in the floor nonchalantly.
"Trash that and blow it up. I sent the data to my computer." He tells one of his bodyguards who nods and picks up the main pieces of the tablet.
The 25 men who had been standing cowardly in front of their boss leave the room, groups forming to execute the different parts of the mission assigned to them.
There was no messing it up this time.
They were going to send the threats and get back the money. No matter what.

Back in the Lee house, Yeona and Taehyung have no idea what's being prepared.
