July 25th, 2015: The First Encounter

NOTE!!!!
This story used to be called "Mafia" but is now renamed to "House of Cards"!!!!!!
Just in case anyone was confused, I changed the title and cover of this story!

TIME JUMP TO THE PAST! AFTER GRACE ENCOUNTERED JIMIN, JUNGKOOK, AND JIN!

Third-Person POV:

12:30 am:

"What do you mean Jungkook couldn't get Grace to trust him!??", yells Taehyung through the phone.

Taehyung frustratedly hangs up the phone and curses. Just who the fuck is this Grace Lee?? Why is she impossible!?

Taehyung knew he chose his victims correctly but why was she so obstinate?

He decided to take matters into his own hands.

11:10 am:

"Aish, Yeontan hurry up and poo!", Taehyung said irritatedly.

He was walking his dog that was formerly his father's dog. When Taehyung's father died, he left a will stating that he wanted Taehyung to take care of Yeontan. His father was the previous mafia leader in Seoul and now Taehyung has taken over the spot at such a young age.

Today, Taehyung was dressed up in a deceivingly nice, boy-next-door type of style. He usually takes up disguises during the day as a pizza delivery boy or coffee barista etc and constantly changes his hair color.

As Taehyung was walking Yeontan by the Han river, a girl loudly cooes,"Aweeee you're dog is so cuteee!"

Taehyung turns his head to see who it was and his eyes widen. It was the Grace Lee.

He never saw her in person but only through surveillance footage, social media, etc. Most of the shock was because Grace was prettier than he expected. With a pretty face like that, I'm sorry I'm going to use you for money, he thought.

Returning back to reality, his box-like grin appears and he says,"Ah, thank you! My dog's name is Yeontan!"

"You're dog is so small and fluffy! You know, I've always wanted a dog like this! Oh, I always see the same people here but I've never seen you before. What's your name?", She asks, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Haha... She's nervous. She only tucks her hair behind her ear when she's nervous.

"Ahh, umm, my name's.... V! Yeah, my name's V", Taehyung lies.

"You're name's V??? Like the alphabet letter?? Wow, what a unique name! My name's Grace by the way!"

"Yeah, I know...", Taehyung, or should I say V, mumbles.

"What?? Did you say something?", Grace leans in towards Taehyung to hear him better.

"Ahem, I was just clearing my throat sorry!"

"Ah, no worries! Are you a student or are you full-on adulting?"

Taehyung chuckles,"I guess you can say that I'm full-on adulting".

"I know this may sound weird because we just met but, I'm throwing a small kickback at my place tonight and you should go!"

Taehyung raises an eyebrow. Interesting...

"Yeah, I guess I can go. I'll have to check my schedule first. For now, let's exchange numbers".

With that, they had each other's phone numbers and Taehyung's scheme was speeding dangerously fast.

9:55 pm:

Taehyung turned off the engine of his Maserati and looked up at Grace's apartment building. He knew exactly where she lived when it came down to which floor and which house number.

"Bro, I can already tell which house is hers", Hoseok said with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. Taehyung came to the party with Hoseok and Yoongi because he needed personal body guards after his identity was revealed all over the news.

He could see her balcony window from outside; her apartment had neon lights flashing in different colors and was overflowing with people. He could even hear the bass of the music and shouts of the people.

"Grace goes fucking hard.... Jimin, Jungkook, and Jin all said she was aggressive af when she was drunk...", muttered Yoongi.

Taehyung chuckled,"Kickback huh... More like a damn rager..."

Now the mafia is at the front door. He texts Grace "here, I came with some friends". She soon replies with,"jusf coeme nin!!!?"

He snorts. She's fucking drunk already?? What a damn alcoholic!

He opens the door and the whole house looks like a movie scene of a frat party. It was cramped, red plastic cups were littered all over the floor, and in the very-small living room, people were grinding on each other to the music.

"Holy shit, Taehyung. Can you give me permission to hook up with a girl tonight?", Hoseok begs as he looked at the sea of girls taking shots.

"No hooking up! We have to focus on the money!", Taehyung says sternly.

"Come onnnn, the mafia never goes out to have fun and we're always working! Just this one night! Me and Yoongi always stay back at the house hacking computersss!!!", Hoseok whines.

Yoongi scoffs,"Horny boi, what's more important to you: 1 trillion won or a meager one night stand?"

Hoseok groans,"Fineeee".

Right at that moment, a drunk girl trips on Taehyung's feet causing her to fall into his arms.

Rolling his eyes, he steadies the girl only to find himself looking straight at Grace Lee.

Her cheeks are flushed and her breath reeks of whiskey.

"Oh myyyy, I didn't realize how tall you were!", she goofily says.

"Maybe you didn't realize how short you were", Taehyung jokes.

Laughing, she slaps him on the arm playfully. Hoseok and Yoongi, on the orders to protect their boss, stiffened and steadied their hands onto their holster.

Grace noticed,"Ahahaha are you guys V's friends? What are you guys, like his bodyguards or something?".

Hoseok forced a laugh and Yoongi just grimaced.

"Naaahh, we're just best pals with this guy V here", Hoseok said emphasizing Taehyung's fake name V.

"Anyways", Taehyung said rolling his eyes,"This is Hoseok and this is Yoongi. Guys, this girl here is Grace".

"Nice to meet you all! Wow you guys are just as good looking as V~~"

"Ahaha, please, thank you! But honestly, I think we look better than V", Hoseok jokes.

Grace starts giggling like a mad man,"Oh myyyy, you're so funny!!"

Yoongi rolls his eyes. Taehyung is speechless.

She's such a different person when she's drunk. I don't like it. She's kind of a stupid hoe!!

"Here!", Grace shouts while shoving drinks into their faces. "Drink up! You guys are too sober!"

Hoseok gladly accepts while Yoongi and Taehyung simply stand there awkwardly.

Grace was drunk enough to do reckless things: reckless things such as a one night stand. Taehyung had all the power to take advantage of her state of mind and blackmail her. But he decided not to. Not tonight, he thought, Not tonight.....

Taehyung smiles to himself, a snake-like smile. Yeah, not tonight because I want to play around with her some more.

Sometime during that night, Grace and Taehyung were dancing with each other. Under the disguise of a handsome man, Taehyung was the devil himself.

Grace Lee was dancing with the devil and she didn't know it.

Yet.
