1:01 am:

I recall what Taehyung said just a couple of hours ago. "Oh and by the way, if it helps jog your memory, you and I were lovers in the past". After he said that, I of course joked it off and ditched him really fast. I've been avoiding him all day and am now comfortably snuggled up in my bed, staring at the ceiling.

Suddenly the door slams open and Taehyung walks in.

I groan. Why can't I just breath a little without a stupid mafia boy on my ass?!

Out of breath, he says,"From now on, you're gonna be our house maid".

I turn my head slowly and narrowed my eyes at him,"The fuck? House maid???"

He sighs, laying comfortably on the side of my bed. "Yes. Our house maid. Only for when we need to clean up a messy situation". He smiles evilly, then adds,"A messy situation involving blood".

I look at him with terror,"Umm, th-that was never a part of our deal? That was never mentioned in our contract, you... You filthy murderer!"

Taehyung chuckles,"It was in the contract that we both signed. You agreed to 'adhere to Kim-Taehyung's rules' which basically means you're my slave".

"???! Stop lying! I want to see that contract right now!"

He grins,"Very well then".

He pulled out his phone and showed me the digital version of the contract. And sure enough, it was written in the contract.... In a tiny-ass font that even an ant wouldn't be able to read.

I scowled,"What the fuck?? Why is it in such a tiny font? It's like you meant for me to not read it! Who the hell even reads the Terms and Agreements section of a contract anyways?!"

He smiles victoriously,"Now that we got this settled, I need you to clean up some blood in the Punishment Room!"

"But I'm already tired enough! I go to work like everyday and now I have to be a maid? Just hire some other poor slave!", I whined.

"We can't hire any maids because we have to be cautious of who we hire. Now, hurry and run along to the Punishment Room!"

I groan,"Fine...."

I finally make it to the Punishment Room and am shocked to see that someone else was in there already.

There appeared to be a man tied up to a chair, with blood all over his torn clothes. His eyes were covered with a cloth so he couldn't see me. I shudder. Did Taehyung beat him up?

"Taehyung.... Is that you...?", the man breathed out sorely.

"No, it's just the house maid", I reply bitterly.

"Oh... I see...".

I begin scrubbing at the pool of blood. I grimace. The metallic scent of blood is so gross.

The man begins coughing out clumps of blood. He coughs for a long time until I interfere,"Uhh, are you okay sir? Do you need to see a doctor?"

He chuckles weakly,"What do you think?"

Damn, he looks pituful...

"House-maid.... I know this is risky, but please help me escape..... Boss Kim will kill me if you don't. I'm begging you! I have my wife and two children to take care of... I can't leave my children fatherless! Please, I will give you anything!"

I looked at him sadly. I know what it's like growing up without a dad. My mother struggled a lot earning money. But.... If I help him escape and Taehyung finds out, who knows what he'll do to me. But I can't just ignore him...

I sigh. "Okay, fine...", I say reluctantly. "I'll help you escape. Let me hatch a plan first. I think I can sneak out Taehyung's Maserati...."

The masked man begins laughing like a maniac. What the fuck?

"What? Why are you laughing? You're scaring me", I cry out.

He laughs even harder. Then it all hits me. Oh shit. This is a game. This was a test and I just failed it.

The door to the Punishment Room bangs open and a furious Taehyung walks in.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? After we both signed the contract, I expected nothing less but loyalty from you. Now, I see that you are more than willing to betray me so easily".

I avoid eye contact with Taehyung, looking at his Adams apple instead. "Look, Boss Kim, I am not a philandering murderer like you. I have emotions, unlike you, you psychopath".

Taehyung glares at me. "This whole scene is fake. This blood is fake. This man is an actor I hired. Everything was fake like my trust in you". Taehyung suddenly grabs my shoulders and puts his arms around me. He then shoves me away.

I look down at my neck and see a silver necklace with a rose trinket.

He smiles evilly. "There. You're connected with me forever. There's a GPS tracker in that necklace and I will always know wherever you are. The necklace is impossible to take off or break, so don't even try to getting rid of it".

I sigh. I should have known better. I am so stupid. I should have expected this kind of fucked-up test from a murderer like Taehyung.

I throw the blood-stained mop at Taehyung's face and walk out of the Punishment Room. I'm over this. I just want the money, that's all.

"Hey!", he hollers. "We're not finished yet! As your punishment for betraying me, you need to plan a special party for me this Friday night!!!"

I give Taehyung one last look and glare at him before slamming the door to the Punishment Room.

Taehyung's First-Person POV:

3 hours earlier

"How can you be so sure that you can trust Grace?", Namjoon questions.

"I... I just do", I responded. I was actually unsure of myself. Grace Lee could have changed after 2 years.

Namjoon laughs, shaking his head,"You stuttered".

I sigh. "I'm just giving Grace the benefit of the doubt. She wants the money. There's no way she would betray me".

"Well, we'll see about that after tonight. Let's play a game with Grace... Just like old times, right?"

I smirk. Playing with Grace is the best part of this heist. Oh, how I've waited so long to meet Grace again after waiting 2 years.

Note:
Is the plot too crazy? Is this story weird? Should I even continue finishing this story? Lmk plz!
