CHAPTER I: The Start

❛ ━━・❪ ❁ ❫ ・━━ ❜

The low growl of the engine reverberated through the dim alley as Haechan gripped the steering wheel, his eyes locked onto the tail lights of the black sedan ahead. Bullets cracked the air as their pursuers fired, the staccato rhythm of gunfire filling the night.

"Haechan, we can't let them slip away!" Jaemin's voice crackled through the car's radio.

"I know" Haechan gritted his teeth, knuckles white against the wheel.

The sedan swerved wildly, narrowly missing a stack of crates. Haechan seized the opportunity, accelerating through the gap just as the crates exploded in a cloud of splintered wood.

"They're good," Jaemin muttered, scanning the road ahead. "But we've got them cornered."

A stray bullet shattered the sedan's rear window, glass fragments glittering like diamonds in the moonlight.

"They won't escape us," Haechan spat, his grip on the wheel unwavering.

As they closed the distance, Haechan could almost taste victory. But the sedan suddenly slammed on the brakes, skidding around a corner with a screech of tires. Haechan cursed, his heart pounding in his chest.

"What the hell are they up to?" Mark voice was laced with frustration.

"They're tricky, those bastards," Haechan replied through gritted teeth.

The sedan veered into a narrow alley, its tires leaving dark streaks on the asphalt. Haechan followed without hesitation, gritting his teeth as the chase intensified.

"Watch out!" Chenle's warning came too late, and Haechan's car collided with a pile of crates, sending them bouncing and crashing onto the road.

Cursing under his breath, Haechan fought to regain control of the car, his heart racing as he spotted the sedan pulling ahead.

"Get after them!" Mark voice crackled urgently.

Haechan pushed the accelerator to the floor, his muscles tense with determination. But then, ahead of them, the sedan shot up a makeshift ramp, soaring through the air and landing with a thud on the street below.

"Can we make that jump?" Jaemin's voice trembled with uncertainty.

"We have to" Haechan replied, his eyes locked on the ramp.

With a surge of adrenaline, Haechan floored the gas pedal. The car hit the ramp, jolting them into the air for a heart-stopping moment. The landing was brutal, jarring their bones, but they managed to keep moving.

"We're not letting them get away," Haechan said with dark eyes, his knuckles white as he gripped the wheel.

"Song Areum, where do you think you're going?" Areum's dad asked, stopping her steps. With a glass of wine on his hand, back leaning, legs crossed on the black couch he always sits on.

The dark speakeasy that's filled with bodyguards on every corner goes silent "The warehouse" Areum said with her back facing her dad. Her dad scoffed at her answer.

"Think about what I said to you earlier today. He said with a smirk on his face "Risk everything and you'll regret nothing"

"I will. Now if you'll excuse me, I have more important things to do" Areum walked away, leaving the speakeasy owned by her dad.

Areum closed the door and a tear left her eye which she quickly wiped. She scoffed "It's all because of that woman. I'll fucking kill her for doing this to me"

Areum barged into her study room. Yoona followed her tracks to her study table.

"Unnie, I need you to do a background check on someone" Areum said after she sat on her seat "Sure, who is it?" Yoona asked

"Han Mi So" Areum said and Yoona's eyes enlarged, shocked at Areum's answer

"Are you sure about this?" Yoona asked for confirmation

"Yes" Areum's eyes that stared at Yoona were dark and revengeful

While back in the speakeasy, Areum's dad is planning something for her one and only daughter

"Jihoon" Minwoo calls his right hand man and he rushed to him " Yes, sir?"

"Call Lee Hyunmin. Tell him I have something to talk to him about our children" Areum's dad said with a grin on his face.

"Yes, sir" He quickly replied
