Sixth floor.

Conference room 2-B.

Unlike the first time, Kim Dan did not receive a warm welcome from Jaekyung's people.

Speaking of the Don, who sat on the furthest end of the long oval table, staring down at his phone. He would've appeared unmenacing had he not placed a .45 caliber pistol with its silencing attachment onto the table without a word.

A hand with two fingers held up to keep his men who were all more than ready to fire their weapons at the shipper who sat at the other end of the table.

Unbroken silence filled the dark room, with tension so thick you could just barely slice through it.

Dan eyed Jaekyung, the Don who was in the middle of deciding on taking away his life, couldn't have looked any more fine with how the street lights poured into the room, leaving a washed blue hue on them.

"Ten minutes." Jaekyung stated, not taking his eyes off his phone, clearly speaking towards Dan, "I truly don't see why this is being drawn out any longer than it needs to be, you know."

"I gave you a specified time frame."

Dan thickly swallowed, looking out towards the city, "I agree."

"So you think I should end it here?" Jaekyung raised his brows, finally removing his eyes from his phone and looking at the chestnut-haired man in front of him, a lack of amusement in his eyes and tone, "Take that shot between your brows?"

"I didn't say that." Dan stated, watching how Jaekyung's brows pinched, it being obvious how irritated the man was.

"I fucking expected to get that call from my people stating my shipment arrived and all accounted for but now here I am, with you, and not a single word." Jaekyung snapped, "Look me dead in the eyes, and tell me you think this shit is a fucking joke."

Dan leaned forward, clearing his throat, "I said by Tuesday, you refused and pushed for Sunday so we had to rush! And on top of that, I already got confirmation from my people that it was handed over and everything was accounted for."

"I don't know what your people do once things get placed in their hands. Take it up with them."

"Did you already forget what I told you in that conference room?" Jaekyung inquired coldly, not sure how he felt knowing Dan was matching his energy, "Actually, it no longer even matters."

"I'll take your life. Then, I'll have my person down in Hyeopjae take out Heesung's irritating ass as well."

Though he didn't want to actually show it, Kim Dan felt his shoulder drop and probably even his expression.

"That's probably the same person Heesung found interesting..." Dan mumbled in his head, knowing Heesung and his luck, "You know where he is?"

"I've been knowing where he is." Jaekyung dryly answered, looking back at the time and letting out a grunt, before picking up his pistol and cocking it.

Dan felt a shiver run down his spine, the sound of sudden desperation lingering in his words, "Heesung had nothing to do with this. He's been in hiding the entire time and the entirety of this operation has been on me,"

"So please don't..."

"Instead of pleading on his behalf, you might want to start pleading for your own." A huff escaped Jaekyung's lips, "Considering how you just threw yourself down without thinking about the fact that you just admitted to having sole responsibility,"
