The Invincibles-KTH FF (BOOK II)

-FORTY FIVE-

"How often do you come across pure smack like he's selling?" He had a point.

Cracking my neck, I thought about that for a moment. "I warned him the night we took out Chul."

"Sadly, stupidity is a force to be reckoned with."

"Do you trust him?" Eunha asked, almost too innocently.

"I trust no one." Pausing, I stared at Taehyung. "I trust no one, but the family. What should we do?"

"Namjoon and I will go," Minho stated as the plane began its descent.

"And I'll wait nearby to watch." Because if Rowoon was stupid enough to set us up only weeks after I had warned him, I wanted to kill him myself.

"Too many family members in one place. If this is a setup, the police will be there," Namjoon added, apparently pissed off already.

"The President was just assassinated," Evelyn reminded us, holding onto her seat as the tires met the strip below us. "Do you really think they would do a sting operation now?"

She also had point. But there were too many criminals in on this plan, and Taehyung and I needed to think.

"We've arrived," Jinx stated.

Taehyung simply rolled his eyes as he got out of his seat. "Thank you, Captain..."

"Taehyung."

"What? He is a captain, correct?" Taehyung replied, his smile slick, eyes glinting with something darker.

"That wasn't what you were going to say and you know it," I whispered before walking past him.

Minho held the door open for Evelyn and I. Taking my hand into hers, she walked me down the stairs like an infant needing assistance. Glancing back at Taehyung, he mouthed, "Be nice." Sighing, I held onto her as we walked.

At the bottom Jisoo and Jin stood in front of our cars, dressed in all white. Even Ari stood in a white pantsuit.

"Welcome back." Jisoo smiled, pulling me into a hug. "The city hasn't been the same without you."

She's touching me.

"You can let go now, Jisoo. People may start to believe you're genuine," I said, as I freed myself from her bony arms.

Her eyes narrowed and her nostrils flared, but she smiled anyways, proving my point. Jin stepped forward, preparing to give me a hug as well, but I pulled back and allowed Evelyn to accept it in my place. He played it off, kissing Evelyn on the cheek.

"Is there a reason why you're all dressed in white?" I asked them.

Jin nodded. "Senator Kim is having a memorial and charity dinner this evening for both parties. He asked all those attending to wear white as a call for peace, hope, and perseverance in this dark time," he recited.

I stared at him for a moment before taking Evelyn's arm once again. "A living breathing teleprompter. I can't wait to hear your speech as to why Kim is so behind in the polls. I think he's been lapped twice."

Ari held open the door for us, and as Evelyn took a seat inside, I noticed Taehyung had yet to get off the plane with Jinx.

"Ma'am?" Ari called my attention.

Taking a seat, I simply shook my head at Taehyung. Funnily enough, I wasn't mad; it was just my husband being my husband.

"So, how are you?" Evelyn asked, petting my hand.
