??: Sir, please! You can't go alone!! It's not safe...we can arrange back up

Jk: She has called me alone at her warehouse to settle everything tonight. Backup can threat an attack on Tae which is not an option. Double the security at the mansion, you are in charge tonight

??: But Sir this is what he wants... it's like a suicide mission. Sir please...at least take me along

Jk: I am alone in this battle for my life

The silence of the night was predicting an intensifying storm, ready to strike any time.jungkook shining shoes hit the rough gravel as he stepped out of his car. His eagle-like eyes assessing every corner of the dark underground alley.

The sound of his clicking heel echoed in the deserted alley as he made his way towards the very warehouse where it all started all those years back. Old memories played in front of his eyes, anger. and he clenched his fist in.

His 5-year-old self shivering with fear, his helpless state, his innocent eyes.In contrast to that scared boy, now stood a fearless man. Who made people beg on their knees for mercy.

??: Well, well well!! Look who we have here today!!

An excited voice called from behind him, as he stepped inside the warehouse. He didn't turn. Instead within seconds, he was circled around by men loaded with ammunition. Her voice was coming near, but still, he refused to see that face that he has hated all his life.

Yeri: I know you are not a fool to come here unguarded Rest assured, I am luckily unarmed today or your head would have been lying near my feet till now.

She cynically laughed at his threatening words. And took out the pistol from her waist.

Yeri: It's such a shame that a man like you has to go down, or else I would have enjoyed your company.

She spoke while tracing the personally designed pistol with her slender fingers.

Jk: Coming to business, well let's discuss the deal then.

A nod from her head, made the person step back from  Jungkook. Showing him the way, they descended to a secluded office. The doors being shut behind them. Her gaze was locked at him, as he tried to show his indifference. After a long stretch of silence, she finally sits back smiling to herself, deciding to break the ice.

Yeri: You know seeing you, I wish to be young again.

He was in no mood to joke, let alone hear a lady double his age flirt with him. His fists clenched under the table as he set his stone eyes at her smirking face.

Jk: Cut the bullshit.

Yeri: Ah-huh dear, why so impatient? Don't you like being appreciated for your beauty and vigour? Such a beautiful man as yourself deserves an equal match. What about Jimin? Isn't he beautiful?

His anger was getting on the surface, but he his it brilliantly. With a small smile, he sits backcrossing one leg over the other.

Yeri: Or is it that you are not after beauty..but something else?

Their eyes clashed as he understood the meaning behind her words.

Yeri: Oh come on Jungkook! We are on the same team! You want his property just like me...or else why would you marry an ugly boy like him.

She moves closer, whispering to him.

Yeri: Bring him to me and you can have a 10% share. A win-win situation.

Running his hand through his silky locks, he sighed while looking around him. With a bored look now replacing the earlier scowl.

Jk: You know what your problem is? You think too highly of me. I trade my wife to you and in return, you only offer me 10%. Not at all an attractive offer, when I get whole 100% by pretending to be in love with him.

His smirk made her crush the piece of paper held in her hands.

Yeri: You think you can fool me, Jeon Jungkook?
You have the audacity to decline my offer while standing on my territory, in between my people?

Jk: I will prefer the word courageous but again what can a coward like you understand?

Yeri: See Jungkook, I have no intention to harm you unless you go against me. Think again, fight from my side and your win is guaranteed. But if you wish to deny me, then sadly..you won't be able to step out of this warehouse alive!

Jk: Fine but first I need to know what you will do with him?

Yeri: Anyways how would it matter once I get my property. Who knows I may get generous and throw him out on the streets.

She was testing him, Trying to find those hidden emotions which he has managed to hide.which he has managed to hide. To find out if he really cared for that boy. But sadly his eyes were empty.

Jk: Fine by me as long as no harm comes to him. I will get him to you.

Yeri: I knew you will make the correct cho-

Jk: But before that, I have a condition 70% is what I
demand, nothing more.... nothing less

She looks confused, rubbing her hands together.

Yeri: I don't think you are in a position to negotiate?

Jk: And I don't think you will get even a penny from him till he is under my protection.

Yeri: Fine deal. Today at midnight, my men will come to get him. I don't expect any interruption from your side.

He nodded while looking coldly at her. Walking out of the warehousing he looked up at the clear sky. His plan was very dangerous, but then again when did victory came without any pain.
