After getting ready, Jimin and Ashley walked down the stairs, towards the exit. They were stopped when a deep husky voice spoke from the back. "Where are you both going?" Ashley gulped and turned back along with Jimin. "W-we-e  a-are  g-g-going to the mal-l." Replied Ashley while stuttering. "Relax! I'm not going to eat you. By the way, I'm Namjoon." He said turning his tone to a soft one from a dangerous one and hugged her. "Hyung? What happened to you?" Asked Jimin curiously as he had never seen Namjoon's this side before . "Umm... Nothing! I'll come with you guys." He replied smiling. Shit! You have extremely low chances of escaping Ashley! Think! Think! Ashley thought as she started to panic inside.

In the car

"Ashley? Stay with us in the mall, okay?" Said Jimin while driving the car. Ashley just hummed in agreement as she was busy in her own thoughts but interrupted by Namjoon. "What are you thinking?" He asked. She shook her head, saying nothing. Namjoon was annoyed by her silence and burst out on her making Jimin pull the break and turn back to face them. "I want your fucking words Ashley!! Fucking words!" He yelled. Tears welled up in Ashley's eyes as she looked up at him. He took a long breath to calm himself down and signalled Jimin to continue driving. He cupped her face and said, "You have to speak Ashley" while wiping her tears that had started to flow. She replied, "U-understo-ood" remembering that she must speak. Actions don't work in the Mafia. She thought.

At the mall

Ashley and Namjoon were waiting for the lift door to open. It was quite weird as the mall was extremely quiet. She looked up at him and asked "Why is the mall so quiet?". He smirked and said "Because we rented the mall for a day". Ashley widened her eyes, not able to believe that they had rented a mall for a day. They are filthy rich. That's when, Jimin came after parking the car. The three got inside the elevator and moved to the 3rd floor.

Ashley was standing in between two bodyguards. She was extremely anxious. Her waist was clasping with one in the front. She moved back but her elbow stroked the one in the back's chest. Namjoon noticed the discomfort of Ashley. He pulled her from her waist, making her stand in front of him. He whispered, "better?". Ashley hummed, feeling comfortable now.

Once the lift opened, they walked out.
Jimin pulled her into Dior. He asked the staff to show her some dresses but Ashley refused to buy any of them.
Jimin looks at her and asks, "Why aren't you buying anything?". Ashley, being scared of his actions after replying, hesitantly replied, "I only like H&M". Namjoon pulled her out of the store and took her to Ashley's desired store. Ashley liked a dress,  she pointed it out, clearly saying that she wanted it. Jimin nodded while smiling. After shopping, Ashley asked Namjoon, "M-may I use the restroom?". He nodded. Jimin had went to the parking. Namjoon left Ashley with a bodyguard, ordering him to take care of her and bring Ashley back to the parking.

--------------------------------------------
Restroom

Ashley punched the bodyguard, who was present outside and ran towards the entry. She knew that Jimin and Namjoon would be waiting for her in the exit. She was running as fast as she could. She was out of the mall, but bumbed into a muscular body. She looked up at him with fear, she knew that she had been caught. Ashley saw Jungkook, glaring at her. His blood was boiling, veins popped out, clearly showing his anger. He pulled her from her hair and threw her into the car. He yelled at his driver saying, "Can you fucking drive back home?!".
The driver was scared ten times more than Ashley. Jungkook called Namjoon and Jimin home, assuring that Ashley was with him.
