- "Get rid of her."

Jimin and J-Hope's looked at Suga as if he had just grown another head.

- "Hyung, we can't do that!" - Jimin protested loudly. - "Sure, I might be trash. But I'm not going to kill an innocent person out of nowhere!"

...

- "I didn't say anything about killing her." - The oldest deadpanned.

- "Oh."

- "Just let her go." - Suga silently scrutinized Sana's every move. - "That is, only if she swear not to breathe a word about this to anyone, of course."

The girl, unwavered by the obvious challenging tone, met his gaze equally. The two stared at each other for what seemed like minutes, trying to gauge the opponent's reaction. Neither of them wanted to back off. Thus, not until J-Hope uncomfortably coughed did they finally break the eye contact.

- "I won't." - Sana curtly answered.

- "Good."

- "Alright then, let's just go back to the city tomorrow and drop her off." - Jimin laughed awkwardly, trying to ease the tension.

Suga shrugged and left with J-hope following him not far behind, leaving only Jimin with the girl they mistakenly captured. After a short mental debate, the male finally decided to sit on the chair next to hers.

- "Hi, I'm Jimin." - The lad offered her a small smile. He seemed nice. Certainly, much nicer than that Suga guy.

- "I've noticed."

- "Ah... It's such a shame that we met in this situation aye?" - Jimin scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed. - "You're quite brave, Sana. Most people would have been shaking in your boots."

'There's no reason to be scared if you have nothing to lose.'

- "Hmm? What do you mean by that?"

Sana's eyes widened. Had she thought out loud?

- "It's nothing." - The girl tried to change the subject. - "Anyway, why would you kidnap someone? You don't seem to be the type to do such thing without a reason."

The distraction worked in her favor, as she saw how Jimin's curious expression was soon replaced by something else. From what Sana could tell, it was a mixture of anger, sadness and perhaps... regret?

- "It's a long story." - He sighed.

- "Time is currently all I have."

Jimin stayed quiet for a long while. Just when Sana thought their conversion was then over, he began to talk again.

- "We were young." - Bitterness laced his voice. - "Young, and stupid. The four of us: me, Suga hyung, J-hope hyung and Jin hyung..." - He trailed off at the mention of the last name, of whom Sana assumed she hadn't met yet. - "A bunch of problematic high school students. You know, the usual getting into fights, stealing stuffs from convenience stores, sneaking into bars and all that? It got us together. Those days were wild but hella fun..." - Jimin clenched his fists tightly. - "...until that man came into the picture, GD."

The name caught Sana's attention.

- "GD?"

- "Yes, GD." - He grimaced. - "Normal people might not know but anyone associated to the underworld would probably have heard of him at least once. After all, he's the current leader of the largest criminal organization in this continent."

Sana's eyebrows furrowed.

- "If he's that infamous, shouldn't the police do something about it?"

He replied to her question with a dry chuckle, which was actually anything but humorous.

- "You're too naive if you think the real world works that way." - His smirk was full of spite. - "Sure, those cops know about GD too, but then what? No record, no evidence, no witness... The guy is technically bulletproof."

He dropped his head.

- "You see... We messed with the wrong person at the wrong time..." - His knuckles turned white. - "... so our friend, Jin, was captured as punishment. They said we have 7 days to pay the ransom. If not, he will..."

Jimin couldn't even finish the sentence. Looking at his pitiful state at the moment, Sana felt a strong sense of empathy. She wanted to give him a comforting pat on the shoulder. Yet, since her hands and feets were still tied, she would just have to settle with words instead.

- "Jimin." - The lad glanced at her, slightly taken aback upon hearing her calling his name for the first time. - "Listen. Don't..."

"CRASH!!!"
