Taehyung and Clarissa talked for almost 3 hours. How they grew up, their hobbies, and other things like that.
Taehyung was way different then how Clarissa would interpret him.
She thought he'd be rude, and personal, and just an overall jerk. Considering the hacking stuff.
But instead she was pleasantly surprised at how he was kind, had manners, funny, and actually cared about the things Clarissa would talk about or enjoyed.
She'd found out that Taehyung or "Tae" as she now called him had trouble making friends growing up and was scared people would judge him, which broke Clarissa's heart.
"Now I'm more confident, but the fear of being hated, or abandoned still haunts me... and I've never told anyone that.. not even Jungkook and he's my closest friend."
Clarissa showed him an assuring smile. "I don't think there's anything you could do to make me hate you." She said, hoping she was right.
Taehyung smiled back. "I think we should be heading back."
Clarissa looked outside and the sun had set, it wasn't dark but it definitely wasn't bright anymore.
"Oh! Yeah definitely.." she said standing up and gathering up the books and sadly put them back.
Tae waited at the door for her and opened it as they headed towards UDF.
"Instead is going back, why don't I just take you to the hideout?" He asked. "It'll be more subtle to do people don't know we're doing things together.. it'll hide suspicion."
Clarissa agreed with what he said and they took a trip to the hideout. Since it was still early they were the only ones there.
"Hey can I look around?.." Clarissa asked considering the only time she'd been there she'd seen the living room and "business" room.
Taehyung nodded and sat down on the couch. Clarissa went up the wooden stairs and found 8 doors.. 7 rooms for the boys and 1 bathroom.
The rooms were empty except for a bed with nothing on it and a window with solid black curtains.. it was like that in every room.
Clarissa was about to open the last door but she heard a familiar voice.
2 to be exact.
The voices belonged to Jimin and Mackenzie.. she didn't know what they were doing nor did she wanna know.. all she knew was that she wasn't gonna bother them.
She went back downstairs and joined Tae on the sofa.
"How long until the others get here?" She asked through a yawn.
Taehyung looked about as tired as he was. "No idea probably aro-..." he was cut off by a phone call.
"Hello?" He answered.
Clarissa could make out the voice on the other end..
"Why is Yoongi calling?" She thought to herself.
She heard heavy and fast footsteps coming down the stairs Jimin and Mackenzie both were coming down fast just in time as Tae's face changed to a worried expression.
"Come on!" Jimin yelled as he yanked open the door, Mackenzie following behind him.
"On our way!" Tae said jumping up, grabbing Clarissa's hand running out the door.
They ran to the back of the hideout and saw a "getaway" car and they got in.
Jimin drove to a place Clarissa hadn't seen before.. it was like a warehouse but it was dark and empty, and from the outside it was covered in graffiti.
"Why are we here?" Clarissa asked, still unaware of anything that was going on.
"Daniel confronted Jungkook.. it's bad." Mackenzie answered as they entered the warehouse.
"Jungkook?! Yoongi?!" Taehyung yelled as his deep voice echoed through The emptiness.
After a few seconds of silence Yoongi's voice broke.
"In here." He said very quietly.
They followed his voice into a room. Jungkook was standing there with his fists bruised and Daniel on the ground.
"Jungkook wha-" Jimin started but he got interrupted.
"He's not dead.. just knocked out." He said shoving his fists into his pockets.
Yoongi began to speak. "Jungkook and I were in our way to the hideout when Daniel cut us off.. he started threatening us, saying that he'd take us all out one by one.. and we were already close to this.. warehouse.. I guess it's what you'd call it. Kook lost control and dragged him here and... well now he's like this." He said walking over to Clarissa.
"Is that all?" She asked, with her clear voice repeated itself through the hollow room.
Yoongi pulled her close.. "Others Are onto us.. we already knew that but they're starting to get to business, in fact some might be here listening and we don't know.. so we gotta go." He said grabbing her hands and walked out.
Jungkook, Tae, Mack and Jimin followed behind, leaving Daniel to wake up alone within the next hour.
They met back at the hideout like the original plan.. Jin, Hoseok, Namjoon already there.
They all sat down at the long table. Namjoon spoke first, "I heard what happened."
"We need some type of plan, people like Olivia, Daniel, and everyone else on the bored, they're catching on, and we need to start acting back."
Namjoon stood up and pulled every picture off the bored. He went through everyone name by name.
Now we're starting to get somewhere.
