Ria pressed the phone to her ear, her breath shaky as she spoke into it. "Dad... I'm fine. It's... it's complicated, but I'm okay."
On the other end of the line, her father figure PARK JINWOO ( who is close enough to call dad) let out a relieved sigh.
"Ria, you don't know how worried I was. Are you okay? What's going on?"
She glanced around the room, her gaze falling on Taehyung, Suga, and Jhope, who were still huddled around the laptop, quietly discussing the restored files.
Jimin and Anya stood close, keeping a watchful eye on her.
"Dad, it's a long story," Ria began, trying to sound calm, "but we've uncovered something... big. It involves Taehyung's father, and... Agust D."
There was silence on the other end for a moment, then her father's voice turned cold. "Agust D? How are you involved with him?"
Ria hesitated. "We didn't mean to get involved, Dad. But we found evidence. Horrible evidence. It's not just business deals — there's something darker going on. And we've been dragged into it."
Her father's tone sharpened. "Ria, listen to me very carefully. If you've come across anything that has to do with Agust D, you need to stop whatever you're doing and get out of there. He's dangerous. I don't care what evidence you've found — you can't go up against him."
Ria frowned, her heart racing. "Dad, we can't just walk away from this. There are people being hurt—"
"I don't care!" her father interrupted, his voice hard and unyielding. "This is bigger than you realize. Agust D is not just some businessman, he's a monster, Devil. He'll come for you if he knows you have anything that could expose him."
Ria clenched the phone, her fingers trembling. She knew her father was trying to protect her, but she couldn't just abandon everything now.
They were too deep. "I understand, but we have to do something," she insisted, her voice softer now. "We've come too far."
Her father's voice softened slightly. "Ria... I just don't want you to get hurt. Promise me you'll be careful."
"I promise, Dad," she whispered. "But we have to finish this."
She hung up the phone, her chest tightening as she processed the conversation. Turning around, she saw Jungkook and Jimin looking at her expectantly.
"What did he say?" Jungkook asked, concerned.
"He said we should stop... that it's too dangerous," Ria replied, her voice steady but conflicted. "But we can't. We're too close to the truth."
Just then, Taehyung's voice broke through the tension. "We're not stopping." He walked over, his eyes dark and determined. "We've got the files back. We've seen the truth, and we're going to finish this."
