Grossly in love!! ♡

Secret deal

"Tae??! What happened there?!" Namjoon's concerned voice came through the phone, but Taehyung stood in silence for a few long moments.

"Taehyung ahhhh!!! Don't torment me with your silence. Tell me, for God's sake, what happened. Is Kookie okay?" Namjoon's voice quivered with a deep sense of worry, particularly for Kookie, who was carrying their unborn heir.

"Kookie is safe, Appa, don't let panic overtake you.." Taehyung assured Namjoon, understanding the depths of his concern.

"What are you keeping from me?" Namjoon's voice raised to Taehyung demanding answers.

"Before I reveal anything, tell me why you've suddenly having these unwarranted suspicions??? " Taehyung insisted, his curiosity piqued, wondering about the source of Namjoon's information.

Namjoon looked at his laptop screen, instructing Taehyung over the phone to examine the 'Richie Rich' article, which had shaken him. Taehyung is equally shocked to see the pictures of dogs and the content of the article

"How do you know it's related to our mansion?" Taehyung inquired, genuinely perplexed.

"Examine it closely, Taehyung. 'Jinie' is the term used by Jin's lady friends from his elite circle to refer to him. And who do you think the 'arm dealer son' mentioned in the article might be?" Namjoon's deductive reasoning became evident.

"What? I'm not an arm dealer; I'm a scientist..." Taehyung uttered, his tone a blend of disbelief and frustration on seeing the facts written on the article

"You deal with weaponry and technology every day, Taehyung. It's just a humorous term for gossip. Now, let's focus on the matter at hand without changing yhe topic.... Please tell me what happened," Namjoon urged, his expression determined. Taehyung couldn't hold anymore..

"Appa.....!! " Taehyung began, narrating the events that had unfolded within the mansion. He carefully omitted sensitive information regarding Kookie.

As he continued, Taehyung added, "I've analyzed the substances that were added into the juice and champagne. Neither of them contained lethal poisons, but they were far from common substances. Someone with influence must be behind this. I couldn't identify the perpetrator within our household, even without any cameras in the mansion. So, I've replaced all the maids and guards with new, trustworthy personnel."

Namjoon then inquired about the gate camera, to which Taehyung replied, "There was nothing suspicious captured by the gate camera." Taehyung held onto vital information of hooded girl, shielding the true extent.

"You couldn't find anything? But the article reads as if someone had an all-seeing eye within the very heart of our mansion... How on earth is that possible? Who could have leaked this information? The maids you let go, perhaps?" Namjoon's voice trembled with concern, his mind racing to uncover the truth.

Taehyung shook his head, his expression a mix of confusion and frustration. "It can't be the maids, Appa. I personally held them for questioning until just this afternoon. The manager released them and settled their dues just an hour ago."

Namjoon's sense of urgency heightened as he continued, "How could the writer describe everything with such intimate detail unless they had an insider feeding them information? You need to be vigilant every single moment. It might be wise for you to leave the mansion and spend some time at our farm house. With these amount of security personnels and safety measures... someone sent dogs.....I believe it's someone who possesses an good understanding of our household. I'm booking the next flight to be there."

Taehyung hummed in agreement, taking his father's words to heart. In times of uncertainty, he had complete faith in Namjoon's guidance, knowing that his father's wisdom was a pillar of strength for the family.

In the days that followed, Namjoon made the pivotal decision to take charge of the entire Seokjin group of companies, prematurely concluding his vacation to prioritize the security of his beloved family. As he assumed this significant responsibility, Yoongi, entrusted with the critical defense project, appointed Jimin as the CEO. With Jay and Sana providing invaluable technical support and secretarial expertise, Jimin working on the demanding role with determination.

Meanwhile, Taehyung made a decision to relieve from his corporate obligations temporarily to focus solely on ensuring Kookie's safety and well-being. Together with Jin, Kookie, Mirae, and IU with kids, they made the weighty choice to relocate their residence to a secluded European destination, away from prying eyes and potential threats.

They deliberately maintained a strict secrecy, protecting their exact whereabouts. In this vulnerable situation, Taehyung adopted a prudent defensive stance, prioritizing the safety and tranquility of their family above all else.

In the midst of all the chaos and revelations, Won the role proprietor of this chaos , was taken aback by the humorous yet oddly accurate article that seemed to mirror the unusual events. Won, like the others, had no knowledge of the doctors arrival, and the mention of vampires left her stunned.

It was apparent to her that she was the little woman in the hoodie, but she remained oblivious as to , how the details from within the mansion had been leaked. Curiously, none of the mansion's inhabitants had raised her name in connection with these bizarre occurrences.

She assumed that she remained unsuspected, unaware that both Taehyung and Kookie were already privy to her involvement, casting a shadow of suspicion over the enigmatic intruder.

As Taehyung and Kookie's sudden departure to an undisclosed country left Won searching in vain, she exhausted all her resources and influence in a desperate attempt to locate them. However, her efforts proved futile, as the couple had meticulously erased all traces of their whereabouts. Even her own father, the defense minister, disapproved of her unethical behavior and began to restrict her from harassing the Kim family any further.

With no way to find Taehyung, Won turned her attention to tracking down the enigmatic investigative journalist behind the mysterious gossip section. After several months of relentless searching, she finally uncovered the identity of the freelance writer known as 'Por Witch,' who had penned the articles about the mansion.

Won discovered that Hwasa, the journalist, harbored a personal hate toward the wealthy elite. Seizing an opportunity, Won faked a story saying that she is a humble girl , who distanced herself from her father's wealth, aiming to befriend Hwasa. In the process, she gradually gathered information about the articles. Hwasa believed her.

Through Hwasa, Won learned that the journalist had obtained details about the mansion through the doctor who had visited that fateful night. She also discovered that Kookie was pregnant. Despite her worries , Won kept her composure and diligently gathered all available information. However, Hwasa remained unaware of Taehyung and Kookie's current location.

Left with no other options, Won decided to hire Hwasa personally to assist her in locating Taehyung. She fabricated a story, claiming that Kookie was her friend and that Taehyung was an abusive husband who had kidnapped her. She even proposed having Hwasa write an anonymous article on the matter, but Hwasa refused to do so without a reliable source. Nevertheless, Hwasa agreed to help Won in the search for Kookie.

"Unnie!!! Please, you have to find my friend before Kookie delivers the baby... I don't even want to imagine what they might do to him and the baby. I need to protect both of them...." Won lied, pretending to be desperate

Hwasa, a bit taken by the situation and Won's act, responded, "With your influence and money, you can do a lot to save your friend. Why are you hiding all of this from your father and others...? You dont need me to save him...."

Won's voice quivered as she replied, "If they find out I'm looking for them, they might harm Kookie. That's why I'm secretly hiring you. You know how the wealthy people are - they have eyes everywhere. But they can't trace our dealings because I'm keeping everything secret. They don't know you, so you're my only way to reach them," she explained, painting herself as the concerned friend.

Hwasa, understanding the urgency and seriousness of the matter, nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll help you find Jungkook," she promised Won, willing to assist in this covert mission.
