— Even if I'm not Jungkook? — The voice replied with a whispery tone.

— Mhmm... — He closes his eyes, enjoying the skillful fingers that finished bandaging his nose. When the touch stops, he opens his eyes and force them to focus on the person in front of him.

He finds a bumpy nose and smooth skin that shines under the room's light. He's almost sure he's Jungkook, but when his eyes adjust to the light, he finds a more angelical face; Alpha's face.

His face immediately feels on fire, and Suga needs to turn his face to the side quickly while Alpha chuckles at his state.

— Caught ya. — She moves away from him, but he still tries to hide his face on the side.
— You caught no shit. — He murmured with a much more red face. — What are you doing here?

— Checking up on your injuries. Commander is out of the city fixing some deals of your organization, so the next in charge of the nursing care is me. — She explained as she threw away all the used bandages.

— Oh. — He follows her moves around the room. — Then thanks, I guess.
— Even if I'm not-
— THANK YOU, ALPHA. NOW SHUT UP. — Alpha was about to repeat the question, but he stopped her attempt to embarrass him again.

— I said something dumb during my convalescent time, didn't I? — He asks.
— Well... You were insisting that you could walk but evidently faint on Epsilon's arms... When the Commander was checking your injury inside the car, you called out for Jungkook, and... You've been sleeping for three days consecutively, so I'd say you've been doing stupidly these last days, yes.

He throws his head back like lamenting all of what happened.

— However... — They locked eyes with one another. — Your secret is safe with me. Do not worry about the Jungkook issue. — She winked at him.

— I don't have a thing with him! — He desperately shouts.
— Don't worry~ Love and hate are just one step away from each other.
— That doesn't apply to him and I! In any case, it would do to you and I.

They're still looking at each other when he said that, thus, he sees Alpha slowly frowns, and his face slowly getting red.

— No way I just said-
— You must still be under the effects of sedatives. You better go to sleep again. — She turned around to walk out. — I won't be here tonight cause' I gotta talk to "The Cage" owner, so you'll need to call one of your friends to help you change the abdomen bandage.

Once again, Alpha's getting dressed with one of the fanciest dresses she found in her wardrobe.

A long black dress with an open on the back for a windy Friday night is perfect. She uses long lashes and a red wine lipstick, added to her natural long hair tied in a low bun.

A long coat covers her from the cold breeze that runs around while she gets in the expensive car that waits for her in the underground parking of her building.

— Oh! — The driver exclaims when he sees her enter from the rearview mirror. — What an honor for my eyes to have this beautiful view all night~

Alpha laughs sweetly at the compliments she's already used to.

— You're the only one with me tonight, so you better earn this view, Haruchiyo~

The drive to the biggest brothel in the city was something pleasant. It's been a while since Alpha and her right hand went on a mission together, so it goes smoothly in between jokes and music, like two best friends that haven't seen each other in months.

The entrance to "The Cage" is a complete spectacle; everyone turns heads towards the exquisite lady in black that walks quietly towards the offices, followed by a scarily tall guard in a lilac suit.

— I knew you were here when the men outside started to bark louder.

Kitty, the owner of the place, greeted Alpha with this funny phrase and a kiss on each cheek.

— And what about you, guard dog? I still remember you visiting every weekend just for her to serve you a glass of liquor.

Beta smiles and kisses Kitty's hand as a greeting. — Always a pleasure, lady.

When Alpha worked undercover in the brothel as a bartender, Beta would always visit the place on weekends after the multiple tasks his old boss gave to him. He's always been there behind her.

— Come, come! Have a seat and a glass of something! — Kitty points to the expensive couch and the great liquor on the little center table.

Once they have a glass in hand, Kitty puts on a serious face.

— Time for the real thing. — She looks at Alpha only, but Beta is hearing too. She knows that the only one Alpha trusts her life to is the man sitting beside them. — They bought the last girl just three weeks ago. They've bought seven girls in total. But this time they chose an... experienced birdy... One supporter of yours, and I asked her to keep in contact for at least a week with me.

— Seven girls in total?
— Yes. They said that this girl would be the last they'd buy.
— I intercepted the place where they'd sent them to learn "some moves", but they mentioned eight girls.
— I sold them seven, Peafowl.
— I'll need the name of the girls, Kitty.
— You'll have to pay for it.
— Then I don't want anything, thanks.
— You're hard to get! — Kitty laughs.
— What did she get?
— Well, first of all, the party will take place on September the 20th.
— Okay, one month from now. That's useful.
— She said the party would take place on "Le p'tit Castle" just outside of Busan.
— Busan? Okay... I guess this is more than useful, Kitty. Thank you.

— Peafowl, there's one more thing she told me. — Kitty sounds way more serious than before.
— And that would be...
— She was hearing all the time those men talk, and one of those nights of their meetings last week, someone mentioned your name. She didn't see his face, but the pawn said you were trying to get to them first, like spoiling all your plans... Someone is betraying you, Peafowl.

Silence drowned the room as Alpha drinks on the new information. Someone has betrayed her.

The rage in her eyes lights up little by little, and Sanzu is aware of the way the air changed to a heavier one around her.

— Queen. — Beta calls out, like fearing her next move.

— Thanks for the information, Kitty. This is gonna be really useful. I'll talk to you sooner when I get info about your girls. For now, let's dismiss the chat.

— Alpha, I'm sorry. — Kitty stands up as Alpha and Beta do the same. Alpha hugs her shortly, then kisses each of her cheeks.

— It's okay, I'll talk to you when I solve this mess, okay?
— Okay, take care, please. — It's Sanzu's turn to bid goodbye. He just shakes hands with Kitty. — Take care of her, Beta.

The couple takes their leave, followed all the way by clients drooling for her and girls bowing at her along with their "Goodbye, Unnie".

Sanzu opened the passenger door for her, then ran to the driver's side, turning on the engine.

— Fuck it, Sanzu.
— I know, Queen... This is bad.
— I trusted them and those- AGH! — She's evidently frustrated.

— We'll kill the traitor in front of the rest, don't worry.
— That would be cool. — She chuckled.
— We'll think of a plan with cold heads.
— You're right, let's get some drinks, Haru.
— Just you and me like the old times. I like it~
