It's her fault that we are here tonight. She asked nicely...so how could I refuse?

Her small frame is standing at the centre of his large foyer. Her eyes are scanning around the area while despite the raging urge to just launch himself on her, Jungkook couldn't stop his own from lingering on her perfect, long legs and those petite-looking buns that are slightly peeking from below her hot pants. Damn...I'm one lucky creep, aren't I?

Having her here was never accidental. Jeon Jungkook was raised to be a man of strategy and the premeditated scheme in getting her to be in this house is now just one in his many other achievements. There is only one thing that wasn't quite written on his busy schedule - it's whether she'd be here willingly or by force. He's damn glad that it's the former.

Holding her by the small of her back, he started guiding her into the spacious living room. "You know where the door is. These are sliding windows..." He said, pointing towards the glass casements surrounding two corners of the space. "Just a click and you can step out,"

"What?" She blinked up to him and it takes all his might to not squeeze those cheeks until they're pink.

"Exits. I'm showing you the exits so maybe you'll stop fidgeting," She has been really quiet and careful since she got into his Bugatti at Moonlight Paradise earlier. He knew she'd have her reservations and if he doesn't make her feel safe enough now, it will only be in the way of his plan.

"I didn't think you'd keep me hostage if that's what you're worried about," She smiled but her nerves are still showing. "We're already surrounded by waters...I don't think I can run fast enough even if my life depends on it."

'Hostage', huh? No...things are going so well! "That wasn't in tonight's agenda at all but now that you've mentioned it..." He teased and she cleared her throat before looking away.

It's quite an amusing spectacle for Jungkook to even imagine what they might seem like at the moment. He's been taking his sweet time with this girl. He never takes much time - everything needs to be done swift and clean, he was taught. He is the all-rounder among his father's children. His four older brothers and two other stepbrothers are given specific tasks - guarding the black market on top of the illegal tradings in quarter parts of the world - but him...

Jungkook is far too wise and capable to be packed and sent off to only lead a few thousands or so men. No. Jungkook is the son that will inherit everything that his fourth-great-grandfather has built. An empire so big and fool-proof that even the Vatican dares to not mess with. Or at least, they try their level best to not mess with!

The Jeon family likes to consider themselves as one of the world's aristocrats - although anyone who does businesses with them would have a worse word to replace it, most of the time. They control the big banks and influential medias all around the world, have enforcement moles in almost all of the countries they have businesses in, and invested in a long list of political corruptors. 

They are one of the most richest and powerful family in the world for more than a decade now but to the ordinary lay-men, their names won't ring a bell. That's because they like to keep it that way. No good can come out over displaying such astronomical proof of power and wealth - not in the sphere they're dealing with. If there's even a slight interest located by any journalists or movements, Jeons will just simply send out an order - terminate them without a single sweat. For generations, this seems to work well for their reputation.

Which is why this is a comical scenario to be dealing with, really. Jungkook would never - ever - chase a girl, be it in a room or out. He liked to think that he has better things to do than such trivial matter. He used to think that they are all the same too. If it wasn't because of his family's name and reputation to the known, it's his good looks and dangerous charms. There were those who tried to act like they were hard to get but as he came to know so well by now, a few little shiny jewels could fix that.
