Chapter 30: Threats
"How dare you?"

On the next days, Y/N didn't talk to any of them. She even avoid them purposely and she also have been going out of the house frequently without telling them, or even Jay.

7 days became 1 day. Each day she got a threat from the enemy.

Y/N was preparing for the breakfast, they were sitting down on the dining table in silence. Only her movement could be heard in the mansion.

She was back to her old self. the cold and unfriendly Y/N. Every time they tried to talk to her, she only gave them a glare or didn't even listening to them, even Hyunsuk get pushed away.

Y/N could hear them whispering about how they can make her talking again. She put the breakfast on the table making them shut their mouth. She sat on her seat and started to eat.

They ate in silence, only the spoon touching the plate could be heard in the air. She finished her meal first standing up putting her plate on the sink and walked out from the kitchen.

"Y/N where are you going?" She stopped her tracks turning to her fiance who called her out. She raised an eyebrow at him. "Why? You want to tell Seo Changmin what I have been doing?" She barked and walked away.

Hyunsuk sighed heavily. Junkyu looked at him with guilty face. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault." He said. "No, it's not your fault." The leader argued. "It's just she didn't tell anyone where is she going. She always out from the early and then come back late." He continued. "It's eating my frustration up."

Y/N couldn't help but feel her heart clenched when she acted like that in front of them. She have to, for their safety and not to mess up her plans.

She went up to the highest floor towards the meeting room. As soon as she sat down, she broke into tears. The members in the room waited for her to stop crying. It's been a routine for them for almost 6 days.

"I can't do this. I can't avoid them anymore.." She cried. "My heart hurt so much especially when I saw his face." She wiped her tears away. "You are almost there Y/N." Seokjin said. "Now wipe those tears, let's continue for the plan." He said.

"I really don't know why you don't want Choi's help. They are more stronger than us." Hoseok said. Y/N shook her head, "No. I don't want any of them involve." She argued.

"Then, did Hyunsuk know that you have been out to have meeting us for your plan?" This time Jimin asked. She just stay silent looking down to her lap. Jimin groaned. "Lee Y/N, he is your fiance for sake! Why didn't you tell him?!" He raised his voice at her. Y/N snapped her eyes at him.

"This is why I don't want be another burden for them! Because I don't want them, especially Hyunsuk to get hurt!" She yelled. "The enemy is going for me! If I drag them along, they will probably get killed!" She breath in rage.

It's was 12 in the midnight when a stone was thrown at her bedroom window. The stone was thrown into the bedroom with a note on it. She picked it up and read what it was written.

She grabbed her phone and went downstairs to get her car key. She walked pass by Treasure in the living room towards the door. "Lee Y/N where are you going at this time?" She heard Hyunsuk called her but she ignore and continue walk to the door.

"Choi Y/N!"

She stopped her tracks when she heard Hyunsuk yelled her by his surname. She couldn't help but felt guilty. She felt fear for the first time. She clenched her fist slowly turned herself facing him.

"I'm asking, where are you going?" He asked gritting his teeth walking towards her. "You have been out so many times these days. You don't even inform any of us where are you going, not even Jay." He stopped right in front of her.

She didn't answer him but looked away from his stares. Hyunsuk scanned her face, he couldn't help feel suspicious at her. 

"Are you seeing someone else behind my back?"

Y/N snapped her head at him. She felt her heart was stab thousands times when he blurted those words. She could feel the hot tears forming in the corner of her eyes. "W-What?" She blurted.

Hyunsuk scoffed, "See? You can't even answer my question. You are seeing someone else behind my back." He spat out. Her mind suddenly went blank when he asked the question that any girl would never like to be asked by their future husband.

"Hyunsuk.. stop it." Jihoon pulled him back when he saw Y/N's tears fall down her cheeks and her face was red feeling ashamed.

"How dare you?" She snarled. Hyunsuk's face suddenly changed when he saw tears that were falling. His heart ached, he made her cry.

"For your information, I'm not seeing anyone else. I have been out for the plans that I need for all of you to be safe!" She yelled. "I have been receiving threats everyday. You expect me to stay still and wait for myself to be killed?" She ranted.

"I did it all by myself because I don't want any of you to be drag along with the problems between me and the enemy!" She was frantically yelling looking at them one by one. She turned to Hyunsuk with sorrowful eyes.

"And you're doubting me without any other thoughts." She shook her head in disbelief and ran out from the house.

She arrived at Bangtan and burst into the room crying miserable. Seokjin sighed, "What happened this time?" Yoongi asked rubbing his temple.

"I did this all to protect them. How dare he accused me like that.." She cried. "Can't he see that I was trying to keep them save?" She yelled. "Why can't they see like that?" She sobbed.

She threw the note on the table.

"Meet me at my headquarter at 11pm tomorrow. All alone. 
- Seo Changmin."
