CHAPTER SIXTEEN: AN ATTORNEY'S DUTY

"I-is that.... the infamous Byun Baekhyun? Senior attorney... is he the one who settles all of SAN's legal cases? I heard he's the most popular in terms of corporate companies," Yeonjun muttered to himself.

"Yeonjun, can you leave? We need some... privacy," Yuuri sighed as she massaged her temples with her thumb and index finger, and Yeonjun nodded.

"Yes noona, please call me if you do need any help," he said and Yuuri nodded.

"Don't worry about me. I might be a bit on edge so please excuse my behavior," she replied.

As the door closed, Baekhyun smirks as he sits on a chair infront of Yuuri, and she glares at him.

"How's your scamming business going?" She asks and Baekhyun looks at her.

"You're still calling it a scam, huh? You never fail to amaze me, Ms. Yuuri," Baekhyun cocked a brow and Yuuri chuckled to herself.

"Of course, of course! You take money from rich companies and make sure they're in the light while all their dirty deed evidences are destroyed, that's what you do," Yuuri narrowed her eyes and Baekhyun rolled his eyes.

"Oh Ms. Yuuri, I'm just doing what I'm told to do. I'm a pawn in a master's hand. But you.... you're different. Ms. Yuuri Kang, so straightforward and pretty. You like to be the top dog and you manage all the famous people and their stupid whereabouts," Baekhyun replied.

"Top dog? I'm not one to be the dog when it's between us," Yuuri paused. "Because you're the puppy being leashed by a rich kid."

"People say that they're all about justice but as long as there's a pay they go all blind and take it, you're just saying that because you think you're better than others," Baekhyun narrowed his eyes.

"And I'm not his dog. If there's gonna be a dog it's the client himself. As long as I have my materials, all his family's belongings go poof," Baekhyun said.

"What did you just say about me being blinded by money? You're ridiculous. I still remember that time you patched up that one scandal because that actor paid you," Yuuri replied and Baekhyun rolled his eyes.

"What can I say? Attorneys were never honest in the first place. But I'm very well known for my great character,"  Baekhyun grins and Yuuri stands up.

"If you're gonna keep bluffing get out," Yuuri said and Baekhyun tsked as he took his suitcase out.

"No need to be so violent, that's not what I came here for. Actually, I have something for you," he said as he slides a file.

"SAN is filing a lawsuit on your law firm."

SOUJIN POV

"We're here," Jimin said as he got out of the driver's seat. I helped Hyebin and Jongseong out as we were near a sea port that stores stocks and packages.

"This is an abandoned port. It will take a while for the assassins to come, lets go inside," Jimin said as he fixed his clothes.

"Oh, and Hyebin, call me Jimin now, there's no use since we're this deep," Jimin sighed and Hyebin nodded.

As we walked inside, we were greeted by a figure sitting at the distance, two computers infront of them as they were typing away in the dark place.

"I'm not even gonna explain who that is," Jimin sighed and I kept staring at the person. They were wearing a thick hoodie and there were cans of soda lying around.

"Well, well, well, looked what the chick brought in," a deep voice echoed, and it suddenly turned all dramatic as the lights turned on one by one.

The chair that the person who was typing sat on turned towards us dramtically, and there was a man in glasses sitting there with crossed legs, his hands together.

"Cut the shit, I'm done with you," Jimin sighed and the guy smiled suddenly.

"Hey! I always wanted to do that epic entrance! Did you see how hard I worked on my evil face, Jimin?" The guy smiled ethusiastically.

"Soujin, Hyebin, I'm sorry this guy had too much soda and he's too high than his usual high right now. This is V, he's the guy who helped with the laboratory at SAN," Jimin rolled his eyes and V stood up.

"Welcome! My name may be a secret, but I do hope you're all thankful to see this dangerous guy's face!" V winked and I tilted my head in confusion.

This guy has eyebags, grungy hair, and baggy clothes and yet he still wants us to look at him pleasantly. I wish I had that confidence.

"Jimin, are you alright?" Another voice chimed in, and I looked at the direction to where the voice came from.

It was a dark-haired man wearing a black sleeveless tank top and ripped jeans. There was a visible tattoo on his arm and some piercings on his ears. He stepped down from the platform he was in before taking out his cigarette.

"Yoongi!" Jimin smiled, as if his whole persona changed. He suddenly looked like a happy puppy as Yoongi approached him.

"Yoongi hyung just came back from overseas. He looks just as old as ever," V smiles cheekily and Yoongi rolls his eyes.

"Soujin, this is the one who saved us at the drive earlier. Yoongi hyung is an agile sniper, he can shoot from the tallest buildings in Seoul," Jimin said and I nodded as I bowed at Yoongi.

"Thank you, Mr. Yoongi," I said and Yoongi nodded silently as he blew from his cigarette.

"Oh so this is the reason why that blockhead was being on edge beside Taehyung," Yoongi said and Jimin went pale.

"Yoongi shut your big trap," Jimin nudged Yoongi and he rolled his eyes.

"It's true though."

"Who? Who are you referring to?" I asked, cocking a brow as I felt a shiver down my spine, my eyes darting at Yoongi and Jimin as they both swallowed the lump in their throats.

"Uhhh it's definitely no one Yoongi hyung's just being a party pooper again, right Yoongs hyung? He's just being a douche," V laughs nervously and Yoongi rolls his eyes for the nth time.

"If we keep being like this she's gonna get even angrier and nosier so it might be better to blurt it out right?" Yoongi said and Jimin sighed.

"I mean you have a point, but we should just shut up or we're gonna sleep with one eye open tonight. And also, we need to keep this a secret since we have outsiders here," Jimin said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh so that's Yang Hyebin and little boy Jongseong you told me, Jiminie! You should make yourselves at home although it's a bit chilly and we have canned soups and sodas available," V said proudly and Hyebin looked at me, then at the boys.

"Ms. Bae, Mr. Park, and the others... I can't thank you enough. It's my fault for not cooperating, and we shouldn't have been in this situation. You saved my life and if this is confidential I must keep this a secret. I'll even pay with my own life," Hyebin said as she looked down and I sighed as I patted her back.

"Hey, no worries. We're just doing what we gotta do for Jongseong and you," I smiled and Hyebin looked up.

"May I ask... who really are you?"
























































"We're Bangtan. Surprise!"
