Here's the continuation:

Taehyung excused himself from Jungkook, citing a need for the washroom.

"Be right back, Jungkook," Taehyung said, smiling.

Jungkook nodded, engrossed in the music.

Taehyung swiftly made his way through the crowded club, eyes scanning for the mysterious figure.

He spotted them near the entrance, slipping out into the night.

Without hesitation, Taehyung followed.

The city streets were dimly lit, neon signs reflecting off wet pavement.

Taehyung trailed the figure, careful to maintain distance.

They led him into an empty room

The figure halted awaiting Taehyung.

"You're quite curious," they said, turning.

Taehyung's eyes narrowed.

"Who are you?" he demanded.

The figure smiled.

"Someone with information about your family."

Taehyung's grip on his phone tightened.

"What information?"

Taehyung taken out gun from his waistband

Taehyung's eyes locked onto the mysterious figure, his grip on the gun tightening.

"You think you can threaten my loved ones and get away with it?" Taehyung spat.

The figure smirked, eyes glinting with amusement.

"Try to take me down, Taehyung Kim," they sneered.

With a swift motion, Taehyung lunged, gun raised.

The figure dodged, countering with a swift kick.

Taehyung sidestepped, firing a shot that ricocheted off the wall.

The figure returned fire, and Taehyung dove for cover.

Bullets flew, the sound echoing through the room.

Taehyung rolled, avoiding a deadly strike.

He countered with a swift punch, but the figure blocked.

A fierce hand-to-hand combat ensued.

Taehyung's training kicked in, his movements swift and precise.

The figure matched him, blow for blow.

Crashes and grunts filled the air.

Taehyung landed a solid kick.

The figure stumbled, momentarily off balance.

Taehyung seized the opening.

With a swift motion, he pinned the figure to the wall.

"Who are you?" Taehyung demanded.

The figure's eyes flashed with defiance.

And then, everything went black

As Taehyung's vision cleared, he saw the mysterious figure's face, now revealed.

It was Hyun-woo, his father's former right-hand man.

"Hyun-woo," Taehyung whispered, stunned.

Hyun-woo's eyes still held defiance.

"You should have stayed hidden, Taehyung," Hyun-woo spat.

Taehyung's mind reeled.

"Why?" he demanded. "Why betray my father?"
