The bond that stick us together: A BTS Brotherly AU

[24]

In Jin's Office Room in warehouse

The Hyung-line gathered, the tension still heavy.

Silence. Pure silence in the room.

No one moved, nobody spoke a word. The name echoed in their heads. Not everyone has the same type of memory with him, neither they were thinking the same thing, but there was an uncertainty that settled in the air like a thick fog, making even the most ruthless of them pause.

It wasn't just any rival. It was him—the one they thought was long gone.

J-Hope: Jeon Myusook, huh?" His tone lacked its usual playfulness. "Didn't think I'd hear that name again."

Namjoon clenched his jaw: "He was supposed to be out of the picture. For good."

Yoongi: Apparently, he is not." He mumbled, "I wonder why he gave us his arrival notice away...that easily?!"

Namjoon: Well maybe he didn't think we will actually catch his man? Maybe he thought he will be able to stay hidden but we found his man and-"

"No Namjoon. That's Myusook we are talking about." Jin finally spoke up, he was sitting at the head of the table, fingers steepled, "He isn't a fucking fool to underestimate us...neither he is fool enough to play such a dumb move. He did it intentionally..."

Hoseok: But why he gave away his identity just like that?"

"Cause he wanted us to know...he wanted us to know that he is back..." Jin's voice was cold, distant—as if the name had stirred a memory he wanted buried, he looked at Yoongi who was looking at him too. Both of their eyes unreadable as jin slowly said, "That was all his plan...That was his warning."

"Warning!?" Hoseok scoffed, leaning closer. "That arrogant son of a bitch thinks he can warn us?"

Neither Jin nor Yoongi spoke up. Yes, their smirks returned, but it didn't reach their eyes.

Namjoon: "Tch. That bastard...Guess we'll have to remind him why we're the ones running this game." He mumbled.

"Namjoon, I know we are stronger now, but...we have to put our steps cautiously," Jin said calmly, "I know that bastard. If he is back after years, then he is surely up to something. Jeon Myusook wasn't just a rival. He was almost one of us...until he crossed the line..."

Yoongi: And that betrayal cost him everything. We made sure of that."

J-Hope laughed bitterly: "Seems like he wants a revenge now, doesn't he?"

Jin nodded, "Exactly! That's why I'm telling to be more careful. He is like a wounded wolf now, he got nothing to lose. That means he will go to any extent for his revenge."

Namjoon nodded, "Understood Hyung...So, what should we do now?"

Jin's eyes gleamed with deadly resolve: "Find him. Bring him to me. Alive. I want him to remember exactly why we rule this kingdom."

"Namjoon," his voice cold and sharp. "I want every source tapped. No one moves in or out of this city without us knowing. If Myusook's back, he's watching us. We'll make sure we watch him first. Take Soonyoung with you if you need. Make sure to report each details only to Yoongi or me."

Namjoon nodded, "On it, Hyung."

Jin: Hoseok, prepare our largest and best army and make sure they are really the best. Take Taehyung, Joshua and Seungcheol to help you with. And tell Jimin to fix a meeting with Wonwoo's team, run a full-on testing of all our equipment." His sighed as he mumbled next, "I can smell a bloody war."
