SINGLE FATHER [전정국] ✓

Chapter - 17

The days that followed were a blur of activity and planning. Jungkook's men worked tirelessly, uncovering new information and closing in on Aiera's network. Y/N coordinated with them, using her own skills and resources to aid in the effort. Their determination was unwavering, fueled by the desire to protect Mira and bring Aiera to justice.

One evening, as they sat in the living room discussing their next steps, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Jungkook motioned for Y/N to stay with Mira, who was playing with her doll on the floor, and went to answer it.

Standing on the doorstep was one of Jungkook's most trusted men, his expression grim. "We found something," he said, his voice tense.

Jungkook ushered him inside, closing the door behind them. "What is it?" he asked, his heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and dread.

The man handed Jungkook a folder. "We traced some of Aiera's communications and found a location she might be using as a hideout. It's in an industrial area on the outskirts of the city. If we're going to make a move, now's the time."

Jungkook opened the folder, scanning the information inside. He felt a surge of adrenaline. "This could be it," he said, looking up at Y/N. "We might finally have a chance to end this."

Y/N stood up, her eyes filled with determination. "Then let's do it," she said. "We can't let her escape again."

They quickly gathered their team, briefing them on the plan and preparing for the mission ahead. Mira was left in the care of a trusted ally, someone who had been part of Jungkook's circle for years and who could be counted on to keep her safe.

As they drove towards the industrial area, the tension in the car was palpable. Y/N and Jungkook shared a silent understanding, their resolve unshaken. They knew the risks, but they also knew that this was their best chance to put an end to Aiera's reign of terror.

When they arrived, they moved with precision and coordination, each member of the team knowing their role. The building was dark and silent, its looming presence a stark reminder of the danger they faced. Jungkook and Y/N led the way, their senses alert to any signs of movement.

They breached the entrance, moving swiftly and quietly through the corridors. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the occasional creak of the old building settling. They reached a large room at the center of the complex, and there, standing amidst a clutter of old machinery and crates, was Aiera.

She turned to face them, her eyes narrowing. "I see you found me," she said, her voice dripping with disdain. "But did you really think it would be that easy?"

Jungkook stepped forward, his expression hard. "It's over, Aiera. Surrender now, and maybe you can salvage what's left of your life."

Aiera laughed, a cold, hollow sound. "You think you've won? This is just the beginning."

Y/N moved to flank her, her eyes never leaving Aiera's. "We will stop you," she said firmly. "Whatever it takes."

Aiera's hand moved to her pocket, and before anyone could react, she pulled out a small remote. "I have one last card to play," she said, her finger hovering over the button.

Jungkook's eyes widened. "What is that?"

Aiera's smile was chilling. "A little insurance policy. If I can't win, then I'll make sure you lose everything."

Y/N's mind raced. They couldn't let her press that button. She took a step forward, trying to keep Aiera's attention on her. "You don't have to do this," she said, her voice calm but firm. "There's still a way out."

Aiera's gaze flicked to Y/N, and for a moment, doubt seemed to flicker in her eyes. But it was gone as quickly as it appeared. "No," she said. "This ends here."
