Mafia's Obsession

chapter 11

The Next Morning

The morning light filters through the curtains, waking Y/N first. She stretches and realizes she’s closer to Taehyung than she intended. Panicking slightly, she tries to pull away, but Taehyung stirs and smiles sleepily.

Taehyung: (softly) “Good morning, Y/N. Did you sleep well?”

Y/N: (blushing) “Good morning. I… I did, thank you. Sorry if I—”

Taehyung: (gently) “It’s okay. We both needed the rest.”

They both get up, preparing for the day ahead. There’s a new level of comfort between them, a sense of mutual understanding that wasn’t there before. As they pack up and get ready to check out, Taehyung gives Y/N an encouraging smile.

Taehyung: “We’ll make the most of today. Let’s get through this, and then we can enjoy some downtime.”

Y/N: (nodding) “Sounds like a plan.”

As they leave the suite, ready to embark on their next leg of the journey, the shared experience of the night has brought them closer, adding a new layer to their professional relationship.

(ON JUNGKOOK'S MANSION AT SEOUL)

Jungkook sits behind a large, mahogany desk in his sleek, dimly lit office. The room is a blend of luxury and power, reflecting his position as a formidable figure in the underground world. He reviews some documents when his trusted aide enters, holding a dossier.

Mark: “Boss, I have an update on Y/N.”
Jungkook’s eyes narrow as he looks up. He’s always kept a close watch on Y/N, his interest in her extending beyond mere business.
Jungkook: “Go on.”
Mark: (handing over the dossier) “I’ve just received word that Y/N is currently in Canada with Taehyung. They’re on a business trip. Seems like they’ve been there for a few days now.”

Jungkook takes the dossier, flipping through the pages. The report includes details about Y/N’s itinerary and her activities in Canada. His jaw tightens as he absorbs the information.

Jungkook: (voice low and controlled) “Canada… with Taehyung. Did anyone know about their departure?”
Mark: “It seems it was kept quite discreet. Only a few people were aware of their travel plans.”

Jungkook leans back in his chair, his mind racing.
Jungkook: (to himself) “Taehyung, huh? I’ll need to keep a closer eye on this.”
He motions for mark to leave, his thoughts turning dark as he considers the implications of Y/N’s trip. The trip wasn’t just a professional matter; it had personal ramifications for him.

(BACK TO CANADA)

Taehyung and Y/N decide to unwind by exploring the downtown area of the city. The sun is setting, casting a warm golden hue over the streets as they stroll through the lively district. The area is buzzing with activity—street performers, local vendors, and the inviting aroma of food from nearby cafes.

Y/N: (looking around, excited) “This place has so much energy! It feels like the heart of the city.”

Taehyung: (smiling, matching her pace) “I thought you’d like it here. There’s a lot to see and do. How about we grab some dinner at one of these cafes?”

Y/N: “That sounds perfect. Something local, maybe?”

They find a cozy, rustic café with a patio overlooking a busy street. The menu offers a variety of Canadian dishes, and they each pick something they’ve never tried before. As they eat, they enjoy people-watching and the relaxed atmosphere.

Taehyung: (taking a bite) “This is really good. I’m glad we decided to explore instead of staying in the hotel.”

Y/N: (nodding) “Me too. It’s nice to take a break from work and just enjoy the city.”
