The Hidden Scar

The plan in motion

author's pov 

The next day, BTS and Aera arrived at school with a new sense of purpose. As they walked through the bustling halls, they spotted Jimin approaching them. His expression was conflicted, filled with a mix of regret and determination. BTS members exchanged wary glances, prepared for anything.

Jimin stopped in front of them and took a deep breath. "Aera, I know I've hurt you," he began, his voice wavering slightly. "And I'm still angry and confused about everything. But... I've thought it through. I'll help you."

Aera's heart pounded in her chest. She wasn't entirely sure if this was an act or if Jimin truly meant it, but the faint smile on her lips was genuine. "Thank you, Jimin," she replied, her voice steady. "I'm glad to have friends like you by my side."

Jimin nodded, his eyes searching hers for a moment before turning away, as if wrestling with his own emotions.

After school, they all headed to Aera's house, where Leo, Kai, and Felix were waiting for them. The atmosphere was tense but filled with an underlying excitement as they gathered around a large table, ready to discuss their next move.

"We need to get inside Uncle Kim Seok Min's office and find out what's in that locker," Aera began, laying out the blueprint of the office she had managed to obtain. "But the passcode is unknown, and we need a plan to hack into his computer to get it."

"Leave that to us," JK said confidently, glancing at V, who nodded. "We'll hack into his computer system and retrieve the passcode."

"But once we have it, we need someone to disable the security cameras in the building," RM added. "That's where Jimin comes in."

Jimin, who had been quietly listening, nodded. "I can take care of the cameras. I know the building layout, and I'll find a way to make it look like a simple malfunction."

Felix chimed in, "Aera, once the cameras are off and we have the passcode, you'll go in and open the locker. If there are any important papers or documents, we'll need to grab them quickly and get out."

"We'll also need to be prepared for any surprises," Jin added, his voice filled with the authority of a mafia leader. "Kim Seok Min is no fool; he might have extra security or traps in place."

Kai, leaning forward, said, "I can be on lookout duty, make sure no one unexpected shows up. Leo can provide backup if needed."

The group nodded, finalizing their roles in the plan. It was risky, and every move had to be precise. But they were determined to uncover the truth and bring justice for Aera's father.

"Alright then," RM concluded. "Tomorrow night, we put everything in motion. Let's be prepared and stay focused. We only have one shot at this."

As the meeting ended, there was a sense of unity and resolve among them. They were ready to face whatever came next, together.

After the meeting ended, everyone parted ways with a renewed sense of purpose. However, Jimin's mind was spinning with conflicting emotions. He had been trained as a spy to be adept at masking his true intentions, gathering intel, and performing under pressure, much like Aera. The regret of betraying someone he cared about weighed heavily on his heart, but his loyalty to his family pulled him in the opposite direction.

When Jimin arrived home, he slipped into his room and locked the door behind him. He knew what he had to do. Pulling out his phone, he dialed his uncle, Kim Seok Min.

"Uncle," he said, keeping his voice steady, "I have some information you need to know."

Kim Seok Min's voice crackled through the line, sharp and authoritative. "Go on."

Jimin took a breath, his heart heavy but his voice controlled. "Aera and her team are planning to infiltrate your office tomorrow night at exactly 2 a.m. They've got a plan to hack into your computer to get the passcode for the locker. Once they have it, Aera will sneak in and open the locker to retrieve any documents or evidence against you."

A low chuckle came from the other side of the line, dripping with a mix of amusement and malice. "Good work, Jimin. I expected nothing less from you. We'll be ready for them. Make sure to keep your distance and act as though you're still on their side. If Aera and her group trust you, it will be easier to get the upper hand."

Jimin swallowed, nodding even though his uncle couldn't see him. "Understood. I'll keep playing along. But... make sure no one gets hurt."

There was a brief pause before Kim Seok Min replied, his tone mockingly reassuring. "Of course, Jimin. No unnecessary harm... just enough to teach them a lesson."

Jimin hung up, staring at the phone in his hand. His chest felt tight, a storm of emotions swirling within him. He was caught in a web of his own making, torn between his duty to his uncle and his feelings for Aera and the group.

Laying on his bed, he couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that gnawed at his conscience. He had betrayed Aera once, and now he was about to do it again, despite his growing regrets. His love for her and his sense of loyalty were at war, and no matter what he chose, he knew the consequences would haunt him.

He closed his eyes, hoping for sleep to come and relieve him of his thoughts. But deep down, he knew that this decision would change everything.
