After sobbing into Chan's chest for a few minutes, she finally calmed herself. "I'm sorry." She finally choked out through her hitched breaths.

"No babygirl, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He replied, gently brushing his fingers through her hair.

"I'm so- scared" She cried softly into his chest.

He released her from his embrace and cupped her cheeks in her hand. "I swear to you, there is nothing to be scared of. We're not scary monsters like what you've probably heard from movies. You're probably in the safest place in the world right now because there isn't a single man in this room that wouldn't give up his life to protect you. Will you allow us to explain?"

Lily nodded her head as she wiped tears from her eyes. Chan gave her a soft kiss on the forehead before helping her take her seat. He walked back to his seat and clicked a few buttons on his laptop. Suddenly, the monitor on the wall illuminated, revealing a file, containing a picture of the girl she had seen with Han. She stared blankly as Chan began to speak. "The woman you saw earlier today works for the group that kidnapped you. A rival group called IKON. She's the leader's new secretary."
Lily's eyes widened and her blood ran cold. "Remember, we told you that we wouldn't let JYP get away with what he did. Our group has always stood behind morals and we refuse to operate under such corruption. We've been working under the radar since you got here last week, to bring his operation down."

Lily looked at him puzzled, "If you work under him, wouldn't bringing him down affect yall?"

Chan shook his head. "SKZ was founded by my father with the intentions of fighting the obscene amount of crime and corruption that had consumed Korea. When my father passed, I was to take his position, however I was very young, so JYP stepped up. Many sub units of our organization have pushed for me to step up, so it should be fairly simple to take him out."

"Sub units? There are more of you?" Lily's curiosity piqued.

Chan chuckled at he sudden interest. "Everywhere. All around the world babygirl."

"So that solves that mystery." Lily stated.

"What mystery?" Leeknow asked as he arched his brows.

Lily giggled, "It's stupid, but I've wondered how yall speak such perfect english."

The others in the room chuckled in amusement and nodded.

Lily's face hardened again and she turned to Han. "So if this girl works for the people who brought me here, why were you all over her today?"

Han pursed his lips together and sighed. "It's part of my job. She had something we needed that would help us get to them."

Lily said with disgust, "And that required you to be all over her?"

Chan spoke up, "Han and Hyunjin are both what we call Procurers. They get information or goods that we need and sometimes, seduction is used to gain access. What you witnessed today was simply that."

Lily's mouth hung open as shame covered her face. She turned back to Han, eyes flooding with remorse. "I'm so sorry Hannie. I-"

Han didn't hesitate before wrapping his arms around her. "Don't apologize my love. I'm sorry that you had to see that." He pulled back from her and brushed a stray hair out of her face. He looked into her eyes and continued, "Please trust that you are the only woman that I care about and want to be with. You and only you. Okay?"

She smiled back at him with tears forming in her eyes. "You really feel that way about me?" She said in slight disbelief.

Han smiled and kissed her forehead, "Of course I do my love."

Changbin took a deep breath before adding, "We all do, Princess."

Lily looked over to find each man agreeing with Changbin's and Han's declaration. At that moment, she felt an unexplainable and unexpected feeling of belonging for the first time in her life. Suddenly, her sense of humor got the best of her. She laughed as she asked, "So does this mean I belong to a bunch of scary Mafia guys?"

Everyone at the table erupted with laughter.
After they had calmed a bit, Changbin spoke up with a smirk, "If the Princess wants to belong to this scary bunch of Mafia guys, then so be it."

Lily's smile stretched so wide that her eyes almost disappeared. "Then call me the Mafia Princess."

Smiles and excitement filled the atmosphere. Chan spoke up and asked, "Does the Mafia Princess have any questions?"

Lily thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I do." She took a deep breath before she continued, "Will you let me help?"
