"So, is someone going to talk?"

The trio currently sat on one of the couches in the meeting room, Dong-Wook sitting across from them with his arms folded across his chest and an expectant look on his face. Runa sat in the middle, Yoongi silently seething to the left with plenty of space between them, and Jungkook was relaxed on her right.

Upon the remaining silence, the underboss caught her gaze before he raised a brow, urging her to say something because Jungkook wasn't going to and Yoongi was in his head about the situation.

"Alright, we were at Taehyung's cabin looking around for evidence proving he's involved with Dori and his new partner." She confesses.

Hearing that made the older man lean forward with intent. "Are you serious? Let me guess, this was Yoongi's idea?"

The white-haired male finally snapped into reality and gave a cut look towards the older who glared back intensely. He could see the frustration in his eyes, so he knew they didn't find anything.

"That was incredibly stupid and dangerous. The fact that you three are alive and unscathed indicates he wasn't there, but what if he was?" He points out as if they're all incompetent.

"That was kind of the point. We wanted to talk to him away from prying eyes." Yoongi sarcastically replies, making the underboss raise his eyebrows from his sassy tone.

"Looks like things didn't go according to plan." He clipped back.

"Clearly." Her ex mumbled, looking away and sighing as he rested his head on his fist, his arm propped up on the end of the couch.

"Why did nobody say anything to me? I should've been there in case anything happened." Dong-Wook directed his statement towards Runa and she looked back at him, seeing the disappointment in his eyes but she was far too concerned about Taehyung to add his feelings onto her plate.

"We can handle ourselves. It would've been more suspicious if someone saw you leaving with us. That would raise questions and we have enough of those already." She explained.

The older man groans softly, running his hands through his hair with an exasperated sigh. He looked exhausted, whether or not he was worried about Taehyung being a possible traitor to the plan or her running around with her ex-boyfriend, it caused an ache in his brain. Too much thinking and not enough alcohol to drown it all.

"Next time you decide to leave, I'd like for it to be known so someone knows where you are in case you get killed or kidnapped. Understood?" He states firmly, leaving no room for arguments and Runa nods softly, having no desire to argue.

"Got it."

"Alright, get out of my sight. I'm tired and you kids are giving me a headache." The man says while standing up and smoothing down his suit.

"You're just old and grumpy." She responds while moving to fix her dress.

Yoongi takes the cue to leave without saying anything further once the underboss waves them off. Jungkook follows Runa into her room where she takes off her jewelry and sets out her pajamas for the night.
