Chapter 1: Breakfast and Decisions

The luxurious mansion of the BTS members was alive with the sounds of breakfast as the sun streamed through the opulent dining room. The aroma of freshly prepared dishes wafted through the air, mingling with the soft chatter of the six members seated at the grand table. At the head of the table sat Kim Namjoon, the Mafia King, commanding yet composed, a leader whose presence demanded respect.

To his right, Min Yoongi, also known as Suga, and Jung Hoseok, or J-Hope, were engaged in a serious conversation. They exchanged glances, their voices low but urgent. “Namjoon,” J-Hope began, his expression serious, “I don’t want the previous mistakes we made to be repeated. We need a doctor, and it’s crucial.”

Namjoon nodded, understanding the weight of Hobi's words. But before he could respond, Kim Taehyung, known as V, interjected. “Hyung, you know that most doctors aren’t ruthless. Their main motto is to save lives. Tell me, which doctor would agree to come with us and work in this dangerous environment?”

Namjoon smiled reassuringly at Taehyung. “Don’t worry, Tae. Suga has found a doctor’s information, and he’s going to present it to us today in the office. So let’s finish our breakfast, and then we can proceed to the meeting.”

With that, the members dug into their breakfast, relishing the exquisite spread laid out before them. Once their plates were cleared, they headed to their respective cars. Each member drove a luxurious vehicle tailored to reflect their unique personalities, symbols of their power and status. Namjoon took the lead in his sleek black sports car, while Suga and J-Hope opted to travel together. Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jimin piled into the speed master’s car, ready for an exhilarating ride.

As they arrived at the main head office—an isolated building hidden from the prying eyes of the world—there was an air of authority that enveloped them. The head office was designed to be easily replaceable and demolishable if necessary, a fortress where they controlled all operations from the shadows.

Upon entering, their trusted employees and guards bowed in respect. The atmosphere was thick with loyalty and vigilance. Their manager, Sejin, was present, awaiting their arrival with a clipboard full of tasks.

The group moved to the meeting room, where Namjoon took his seat at the head of the table. The others followed suit, with Suga standing in front of the wall-mounted screen, ready to present the information on the doctor. As the presentation began, images and details flickered across the screen, showcasing the doctor’s qualifications and achievements.

“He works as the head doctor in one of the world’s best hospitals,” Suga explained, his voice steady as he gestured toward the images. “But he’s also a complete contrast to us. He’s quite delicate and innocent.”

At the mention of the word "innocent," Namjoon smirked, a glint of amusement in his eyes. “Well, innocent can be quite enjoyable to hear, right?”

Jungkook chimed in, “It’s better to have some light in our dark world. I approve of this doctor.”

“I don’t want the previous mistakes to be repeated,” J-Hope insisted, leaning forward. “Before, we didn’t have a doctor on our team. Many times, we had to wait to get a doctor from the best hospitals, only to deal with delays when it came to treating injuries. We can’t afford that anymore. Having someone who is perfect in medical care will prevent any threats to our health.”

Suga nodded in agreement with his husband, and the others echoed their support. Namjoon’s gaze remained fixed on the screen, intrigued. He turned his attention back to Suga and asked, “How does this doctor look? I mean, we need to confront him, right?”

With a few clicks, Suga revealed the doctor’s picture on the screen. The room fell silent as the members absorbed the sight before them. The image displayed Kim Seokjin, an innocent and delicate figure with striking features that seemed almost ethereal. Namjoon, the calm and composed mafia leader, was taken aback. Such a human exists? he thought, his mind racing.

Taehyung, Jungkook, and Jimin exchanged incredulous looks, stunned. “Is he for real?” Jimin whispered, his eyes wide with disbelief.

J-Hope, equally astonished, turned to Suga. “Where did you find someone like this?”

Suga chuckled lightly, “I was shocked when I first saw him too. But we need to handle this delicately, so it’s better for us to meet him today. Let’s go now.”

With unanimous agreement, the group prepared to seek out Jin, their fates intertwining as they moved closer to a decision that could change their lives forever. Would Jin agree to join them, or would they face unforeseen challenges ahead? The tension hung in the air as they stepped out of the office, ready to confront their destiny.
