"Y-you mean your f-father as in father?" I mumbled for what was probably the 400th time. I sat on the edge of the bed still feeling overwhelmed by the sudden news.
Yoongi hustled back and forth packing his suitcase alongside mine since I was too confused to do anything yet.
"Why?" I slowly stood up holding Yoongi's arm stopping him before he could walk away.
He exhaled and sat beside me on the bed "he calledㅡ it's surprising he didn't call sooner because of everything happening with our business but he wants to see us"
"As in us do you mean..."
"Not you, he still doesn't know you're alive... and that you're with me..." he trailed off. I felt a lump in my throat imagining the worst case scenario before speaking up.
"He wants me dead right? The day you broke into my father's house you were supposed to kill all of us... right?" I whispered my eyes burning as I held in the tears. He silently nodded avoiding to look at me. I stood up feeling heartbroken at the thought of it and began to pack determined to fix the mess my father had caused.

The silence in the car was not unusual... I was actually expecting the silence between us both. I had no idea what Yoongi was thinking or if he was angry but I was scared. I had no idea who this man was exactly, where we were going or if he would kill me as soon as I stepped foot in his house. I turned to look over to Yoongi who drove silently gripping the steering wheel to the point were his veins were prominent as his white knuckles. I gently grabbed his arm pulling one of his hands onto my lap and I felt him relax on his seat. No words had to be exchanged to know what the other was feeling, right now Yoongi was the only one I could depend on.
I was about to drift off to sleep when we approached a sign that we were arriving into Hwaseong. I looked to the side mirror to find the caravan of black trucks and expensive cars belonging to the guys following behindㅡ it made me wonder how nobody found it suspicious or if they were just too afraid and pretended not to know.
Just before we entered the city we turned into the countryside driving alongside the river and between the forest similar to the road to get home back in Seoul. Proved wrong on my comparison I soon realized this was nothing compared to the mansionㅡ this house; if it could be called a house, looked like a castle. We drove up to a heavily guarded black gate and as soon as the black Mercedes stopped in front of the intercom the gates opened revealing the most beautiful green landscape, scattered fountains and visibly armed men with guard dogs pacing around.
We parked along the round-about, our car parked right in front of the massive arch door. As usual Yoongi opened the door for me guiding me out as maids rushed out to attend to our bags.
"This is beautifulㅡ" I gasped as we walked inside still not realizing what I was walking into.
"Aha! My sons!" a deep raspy voice literally boomed from the top of the stairs. Immediately snapping into reality I stepped back allowing the guys to walk towards the shorter older man who slowly walked down the polished steps, a fat cigar hanging lazily on his mouth.
Yoongi was the first to approach him shaking his hand and kissing him on the cheek followed by the rest. The man regardless of his height and age still had an intimidating and scary aura surrounding him, especially seeing how the men I came to think of as dangerous respected him.
"Who's this?" his voice sent shivers down my spine as he made eye contact with me. I quickly looked down but I still felt his gaze burning through me.
Before anyone could answer he spoke again, his voice even scarier than before almost like a whisper, cold and dangerous.
"Ellen" he hissed "Jihoon's one and only daughter... get her!" he spoke louder followed by heavy steps of the guards walking towards me.
I felt Yoongi rush to step in front of me as I still stared down at my feet cursing myself for wearing these heels. Shit what if I need to run out of here!
"What the fuck is she doing here? Alive!" I snapped my head up to see the older man pointing a chubby finger at me and glaring at my boyfriend.
"She's with me... and she's staying here... and you..." Yoongi hissed and trailed his piercing stare at the men slowly then finally at his father "will not touch a single hair on her".
