JK'S POV-

In this case, my brother, Jaewook, got killed by Choi Su-ha's brother- Choi Yeonjun who had been in hiding ever since.

Which was why I needed Su-ha on top of Kim y/n. With y/n, I would get her brother, seokjin, and the Head of Kim family, Namjoon.

But to get the Choi's to the meeting as well, I needed something of theirs. Su-ha was all I had to work with.

And she was a fucking spitfire. Trained and capable with a hell of a f#cking mouth on her.
I liked her spirit.

Even when she was trying to stab me with a knife as I fetched her from my office, taking one of her cuffs and attaching it to my own wrist, dragging her along with me while I worked, not sure I trusted any of my men fully with her.

Men in our businesses tended to underestimate women.

Not me.

I knew there was nothing more fierce than a woman in a male-dominated industry. Of any sort. They were not to be underestimated. They would slit your throat and then step on your bleeding-out body to get a step higher in the organization.

I gave that ambition the kind of deference it deserved. So I kept her at my side.Even as she made fun of me about being an old person for my plan to form an alliance between the families with an arranged marriage.

Was it old fashioned?

Sure.

But it worked.

They wouldn't come at me because I had one of their loved ones in my camp. And I would have the peace of mind knowing I had Y/N as a bargaining chip.

"They're never going to go for it"
Choi su-ha said as I dragged her around the conference room.

It wouldn't be long. Pretty soon one of my spy would get word back to us that the Chois and kims were on their way to come pick up Su-ha.

They didn't know about Y/N yet. That was the part I was going to go ahead and keep to myself until the right moment. Until we got shit ironed out with Su-ha's family.

"I heard you the first five times" I said, rolling my neck  "I think you overestimate how good of men your family and the Kims are."

"Better than you"
Su-ha shot back, full of fire and spit.

When we'd made the video call to her loved ones, she'd attempted to slice my throat. I had to give her credit for the attempt, even if she ultimately failed.

"Yes, well, that goes without saying"
I agreed.

From my position near the windows looking down on the street, I could just barely make out the first whistle. Then the second. Then the third. I got to watch as my man out front reached for his phone just a moment before mine buzzed in my pocket.

"Just the Chois and Kims"
I reminded him.

They wouldn't come alone. But their men had to stay on the street with most of mine.

Su-ha and I watched as the cars pulled up, the men filed out, and the rules were laid out.
In the end, it was Su-ha's brother and his PA who were allowed up.

Then there were here. Namjoon, seokjin. 

"Let her go!"
Those were the first words spoken during this important meeting. They were spoken by Su-ha's brother ,Yeonjun. The same man who had murdered my brother.

"Maybe"
I said, waving toward the conference table.

"We will see about that."
I watched as they all took their seats before taking my own.
