39. Setting Up

The penthouse was bathed in the soft glow of city lights streaming through the large windows. Jongin sat comfortably on a leather armchair, sipping his whiskey, while Sungho stood by the window, looking out at the sprawling city below. The tension was palpable, as the two men finalized their intricate plan to capture Jungkook and dismantle ACE.

Jongin leaned back, swirling his glass "So, the stage is set. Jungkook walks into the trap tomorrow night, thinking it's just another lucrative business meeting."

Sungho turned to face Jongin "Exactly. He won't see it coming. The foreign client ruse was the perfect bait. He's been trying to secure that European cartel deal for months. The fake documents and communication sealed the deal."

Jongin: (nodding) "Good. What about our people on the inside? You said some of his men might be willing to turn."

Sungho walked over to the coffee table and picked up a folder, handing it to Jongin.

Sungho: There are three men who've shown cracks in their loyalty. One of them, Dongwoo, has a grudge against Jungkook. Something about being overlooked for a promotion. He's bitter, and I've already promised him a high-ranking position in ACE once we take over.

Jongin opened the folder, scanning the names "Dongwoo... And the others?"

Sungho: (pointing to the names) "Seojun and Kijoon. They're not as personal, but they're opportunists. I've dangled enough money in front of them to ensure their cooperation. They'll stay quiet until the moment we strike. Then, they'll help us neutralize any resistance within ACE."

Jongin smirked, tapping the folder against his palm as he considered the possibilities.

Jongin: Perfect. Once Jungkook's captured, we'll use them to destabilize the rest of his operation. How's the communication going with them? Are they ready?"

Sungho: (confidently) "I've kept it subtle. No direct communication from you, of course. Everything goes through intermediaries. They know their roles and the timing. When the warehouse scene plays out, they'll make sure the chaos spreads across ACE's ranks."

He leaned forward, his tone sharpening as his mind raced through contingencies "but after we take Jungkook? His men are fanatically loyal. Even if some are on our side, others won't go down without a fight."

Jongin, leaning forward "That's why we need to act fast. Once Jungkook's in our hands, we strike his other operations simultaneously. Warehouses, safehouses, even his financial hubs. Hit them hard and fast before his men can regroup."

Sungho sighed "Divide and conquer. If they can't communicate or organize, they'll crumble. But Jungkook-what do we do with him?"

Jongin smirked "about him you know I recently found his weakness, we can just drag it infront of him and he'll do what we say"

Sungho: Weakness Of Jeon? Who?

Jongin let out a dark chuckle "ooh you don't know right?, it's V .. he is his boyfriend I get to know about it from my other man, I know he'll surely came looking for jungkook, and I'll just kill him in front of jungkook haha
..haa.."

Sungho eyes widened he didn't know this part of the plan, "but if he isn't his boyfriend or something if it won't weaken him then?,And if he refuses?"

Sungho's voice hardened, his tone matching Jongin's.

Jongin: (firmly) "Then we make an example out of him. Publicly, if necessary. Jungkook's strength lies in his image-untouchable, invincible. If we shatter that, his men will fall in line. Fear is a powerful motivator."

Sungho nodded, satisfied with the response.

Sungho : "Boss, this plan is ambitious, but it's risky. If even one piece falls apart, Jungkook will retaliate with everything he has."

Jongin: (coldly) "That's why we won't fail. Every detail has been accounted for. Once Jungkook is in my hands, ACE will be mine."

Sungho stood, the weight of their conversation settling over them both.

Sungho: "Then it's all set. Tomorrow night, the game begins."

Jongin raised his glass, a wicked grin spreading across his face.

Jongin: (darkly) "To the fall of a king."

Sungho didn't respond, but he felt the tension in his chest tighten. He had played his part perfectly, but as the night wore on, a small voice in the back of his mind whispered doubts. Would they truly succeed, or had they underestimated the lengths Jungkook and his men would go to protect ACE?

While on the other side ~

The moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. Taehyung lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind restless. Beside him, Jungkook was asleep, his breathing steady and calm. Taehyung turned his head to look at him, taking in the peaceful expression on his face. A small smile tugged at his lips, but it was fleeting.

Quietly, he slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Jungkook. He padded to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in silence. The stillness of the night did little to calm his racing thoughts. Setting the glass down, he made his way to the training room, where the faint scent of leather and sweat greeted him.

Taehyung began punching the heavy bag, his strikes growing harder and faster with every passing second. His knuckles stung, but he didn't stop. Each punch was an outlet for the frustration building inside him.

In the doorway, Jungkook leaned against the frame, his arms crossed, silently watching. His dark eyes softened as he saw the tension in Taehyung's movements. After a moment, he spoke, his voice low and calm.

Jungkook: "Couldn't sleep?"

Taehyung froze mid-punch, turning to see Jungkook standing there. "You should've stayed in bed," he muttered, wiping the sweat from his brow.

Jungkook: (walking toward him) "I couldn't sleep either. You should've woken me up."

Taehyung: (shrugging) "Why would I? You were sleeping so peacefully."

Jungkook chuckled, stepping closer and wrapping his arms around Taehyung's waist from behind. His touch was firm yet comforting.

Jungkook: (softly) "You don't have to deal with this alone, baby. Whatever's bothering you, we'll handle it together."

Taehyung sighed, leaning back into Jungkook's chest. His hands came up to rest over Jungkook's arms. "It's just... everything feels so uncertain right now. I feel like I'm not doing enough."

Jungkook turned Taehyung around, his gaze steady and reassuring.

Jungkook: "Listen to me. Show your anger on our enemies, not on a punching bag. Save your energy. You're stronger than you think, Tae, but you need to have patience."

Taehyung looked down, nodding slightly. Jungkook cupped his face, tilting it up so their eyes met.

Jungkook: (smiling) "Everything is going to be fine. Trust me. You just need to focus and be ready when it matters most."

Taehyung felt his chest tighten at Jungkook's words. "I trust you," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

Jungkook smiled, pulling him closer. "Good. Now, let's get you back to bed. You'll need all your strength soon enough."

With a reluctant nod, Taehyung allowed Jungkook to lead him out of the training room, his heart slightly lighter than before, knowing Tomorrow is going to be very hectic for everyone.
