"This is Jeon Jungkook, CEO of Seoul Higher View. You must pour all your skill, energy and talent into protecting him from all these attacks."
My head snaps up to meet eyes as bewildered as mine.
"You-"
"Do you know each other?"

"Oh..." I hear the man chuckle and look down, shaking his head. I frown in confusion.
"What." I ask in a pressing tone, he glances at me with and unreadable expression.
"You're here to make sure I get the job done? Then you'll report to him? He doesn't want to meet up. He wants me to finish the job. It's no coincidence that Jeon Jungkook is here, is it?"
My heart stops upon hearing his words.
It is a coincidence. No one else but me, Jang Hoon and Captain Han know about this mission. It's all a fake.
What the fuck is Jeon Jungkook doing here?!
Panic fills my heart but I do my best to stay composed, looking the man in the eye without saying a word.
I'm aware that he's going to take it as a yes.
And I'm going to do my absolute best to protect Jungkook. But I can't blow it now. He looks away, poking the inside on his cheek with his tongue.
His large, hairy hand soothes his dirty beard and he nods.
"Okay. I'll get the job done, and come back for the money. You can stand and watch somewhere." He mutters darkly, his eyes carrying the determination familiar in killers' eyes.
My heart sinks.
I've made a terrible mistake. He's going to go for Jungkook and Seokmin. I nod curtly and disappear from his sight. Hoping to find Jungkook.
I walk through the sweaty crowd, head low. I've almost forgotten about my bleeding thigh with all the adrenaline. I bite on my lower lip and grunt through the mask when a girl bumps into me, landing her knee in my thigh while dancing crazily...
I glare daggers at her and she steps back, probably scared.
I turn around and keep walking towards a higher spot to be able to visualise Jungkook.
My heart jolts in my chest when I bump into someone.
I quickly look up, all colour leaving my face. The man's hands are holding my arms to keep me in place, thus keeping me from falling butt first.
Fear clutches my heart and a knot forms in the pit of my stomach.
Taehyung.
So Taehyung and Jungkook are here.
My eyes sweep the room, hoping to see Jungkook, but instead, I see the criminal, walking head low, a determined look on his face.
