Kim Taehyung stilled in his place, listening to his hyungs' words...

Name... Name? Was there a name mentioned?

Taehyung felt his body filling with snow, his eyes flickering. The sharpest and fastest fighter among the Kims, always ready to work smart rather than hard, made a glaring mistake?

Random assassinations at Seoul University were as common as rain in Busan, yet this man here acted like it was something rare within a matter of seconds.

He couldn't pinpoint what had happened to him exactly. He wasn't able to digest the fact that he made a small mistake in a very simple mission. A man whose facial ratio is as perfect as the heavens, a man who loves to be perfect, messed up.

Namjoon, noticing Taehyung's restless facial expressions, placed his hand on Taehyung's shoulder, squeezing a bit.

"You alright?" Yoongi questioned, his tone off and puzzled.

"The name they mentioned was... Miso?" The youngest bunny couldn't help but read aloud in confusion, but was quick to shut up upon receiving Seokjin's glare.

"I apologize... My sleep was robbed, and I was pissed at everyone today. I have no patience to handle Father's blame when they get hurt. I acted out of impulse without reading the complete message as the text mentioned a new stepsister," Taehyung mumbled with his head hung down.

Hoseok bit his lips in concern. Taehyung was right; they had been completely deprived of sleep, and Kim Gu-won was behaving like those three stepkids and the new wife were his world.

Namjoon felt guilty for pushing the maknaes to the university today.

Seokjin shook his head at Namjoon, silently conveying that he did no wrong.

"Hyung, apologize. I should have been more considerate towards you three. Now go home and rest well. We will deal with this matter tonight once we hyungs come back," Namjoon spoke calmly, gazing at the three maknaes.

The three mumbled a small okay, their shoulders slumped, their eyes red.

A human can easily go two or more days without eating food but survive on water and drinks. But sleep? A human cannot avoid sleep as much as they can avoid food.

Going without sleep for two continuous days is something hard.

The maknaes reached home and directly headed to their rooms, falling asleep after taking a quick shower.

Kim Gu-won and Bae In-ah arrived at the hospital where the four eldest brothers were present.

Kim Gu-won asked Seokjin to increase security at the mansion and the university.

Bae In-ah sat quietly, shedding tears.

They met Miso, who was lying on the hospital bed with a very pale complexion.

She broke down into tears as soon as she saw her mother.

Bae Miso, quite scared due to the attack, was calmed down by Kim Gu-won and Bae In-ah.

Soon, the eldest boys, the married couple, and Miso left for the mansion.

It was early evening.

Although Miso's hand was injured, she was in a wheelchair, saying she was too weak to walk around.

Yn was ascending the stairs after having a bottle of Yakult downstairs.

Miso, seeing the opportunity, called out.

"Yn? Can you take me upstairs? As you see, the guard is already tired from carrying me this far," Miso said politely, with mischief in her eyes.

Miso was no fool; she always loved to order Yn around. Now that everyone was present, she couldn't order her around but could still make her do things by asking sweetly.
