Rebirth [A BTS Fanfiction]

Keep your friends close and enemies closer

"So, let me get this straight. The person we hired you to spy on has now hired you to spy for him," Taehyung finally takes a seat right beside Jin after stress-walking the whole time I was updating them about the current situation. Both of them had contrasting reactions.

I looked at Jin who was trying to maintain a serious look after being shamed by Taehyung for taking the situation lightly. As if feeling my eyes on him, Jin gives me his signature smirk for a quick second before changing his expression.

I leaned back on my chair with a tired sigh. Oh, how much I hated repeating myself and how much this man made me repeat myself. Maybe I shouldn't have accepted this distraction or maybe made Jin kick this nuisance out.

"Thanks for summing things up for us, Mr. Kim. I would've loved to give this update face to face but I'm afraid I'll be followed around until I gain Jeon Jungkook's trust." I breathed through my nose.

Since the moment I left that mansion Jungkook took me to, I've been feeling numerous eyes on me. Because of this I also decided to book a hotel near the lab. I didn't want to reveal anything more about myself than he needed to know.

"What did he tell you to make you accept?" Taehyung said while rubbing his temple.

"I'm afraid that's something I can't disclose." I gave him a blank look, starting to get a little impatient from the constant questions. My simple answer didn't sit well with him because I could physically see his patience crumbling.

"What do you mean you can't disclose it?! It seems you are forgetting whom you are working for, Miss Haneun. Shouldn't you-"

"Pardon me, but I think you have misunderstood my cooperation with slavery. Even if you did hire me, I have my ways of working that I sacrifice for no one. The only thing you need to know at this moment is my actions won't affect your mission." I interrupted him swiftly. When I was done speaking I could see the anger in his eyes, I couldn't care less.

"Jin, I wanted to inform you beforehand that I won't be able to visit personally to give you updates frequently. I don't want to risk Jeon getting a whiff of our acquaintance."

"Oh don't worry about it, Kiddo. Just make sure you are careful while dealing with that bastard. I'm sure you already know but underworld doesn't call him psycho dealer for nothing." Jin warned.

I nodded understandingly. I looked at the time to see it was close to midnight. The 'meeting' with Jeon lasted a long time. Mostly because I was being difficult and he kept losing his patience. It was funny because he was habituated to having his way around, however, I genuinely didn't give two shits. He has been trying to hire me to spy on Felix and his father to find out why they needed a specific drug from him. And although I would happily do this work for free, why should I? So I did what any sane person would do. I asked him to send me a written contract stating that I would work for him only if he guarantees my safety and a large sum of money when the job is done.

Even though I don't lack money, I would never say no to some extra cash. I almost burst out laughing when I thought about how he was walking into a trap I didn't even set. As the saying goes, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. I closed my laptop after ending the call and took a deep breath. For the first time in the whole day, I unlocked my phone only to get taken aback by the number of missed calls I've received from Olivia. I also noticed the 7 unread messages Jinyoung has left me with. I sighed. It's getting exhausting to put up with this family. By this time Olivia must be already asleep so I decided to leave her a message explaining what happened in short while ignoring whatever Jinyoung texted me.

Maybe I was more tired than I realised because the moment my back hit the bed, I was knocked out. This time I didn't wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air. This time, it felt worse.
