It was like everything was in slow motion.   I watched as Yoongi was attired in all black.  Black dress shirt, fitted black dress pants, black shoes, and a black mask over the bottom half of his face.  His eyes were bare seeable as his black hair slightly hun in front of them, but I could recognize that man in anything, anywhere.   Yoongi's gaze was not in my direction, however, I followed his gaze to large round booth towards the back corner of the club where there were multiple 'high class' looking people sitting around talking and drinking.  This is also when I began to notice something else in the club.  I didn't really think about it before, but I saw that mixed in with the crowd were mixed hybrids or hybrids that permanently had their ears and tail when they were in their human forms.  Or at least I assumed that they were mixed as most purebred don't walk around like that...until one in particular caught my eye.  One that was standing stiffly by the booth in the back.  Around his neck was a thick black leather looking collar that was connected to a long black leash that was being held causally by a woman who was wearing dark red lipstick, with dark long hair, and dark eyes.  She looked bored in the face, but I could see her eyes analyzing everything in the room.  This was the woman that must be Kang So-ah.  She was wearing a dark red dress that was the same color as her lipstick and red and black heels.  I watched her and Taehyung with interest, trying to figure out a way to get him away from her.  

    "There's Tae."  I leaned over and whispered softly to Jimin as I looked over at Taehyung and So-ah.  This time Jimin followed my gaze and saw Taehyung.  I felt him tense up and go to move towards Taehyung but I quickly tightened my grip on his arm. 

    "Don't.  If you do something stupid then we might never get Taehyung out of here."  I hissed at him.  "Just wait for Mi-lin..."  I said, more to myself than anything.   I knew that I was trying to assure myself that this was going to all work out in the end.

    After about fifteen minutes of hanging out by the bar I decided that we needed to move around to look less weird.  I took Jimin's hand and led him to the dance floor.

     "Okay foxy, I know that you and Kookie are quite the dancers according to Mi-lin.  Show me what you got."  I encouraged him.  He cocked an eyebrow at me in confusion.

    "Really?  Are you sure?  What about..."  he started but I cut him off.

"We gotta look like we belong here, not just loitering and watching people creepily at the bar."  I said as I threw my harms around his neck and whispered in his ear.  "We have to look like an actual rich young couple who came here to get drunk and have a good time."    

    "Ooooooh!"  he trailed as I pulled away from him a bit.  "Well then we better get more in the middle, don't wanna stand out now do we?"  he grinned before he pulled me into the middle of crowd of drunkenly dancing young people who were moving to the beat that the DJ was creating, that was echoing throughout the club.  Everything started to blur together.  I had never been in this situation before.  I didn't usually go out and it was a bit overwhelming, but I doubted that I would ever be here again and I was still waiting for Mi-lin so might as well try to have some fun.  I don't remember taking a shot of alcohol, but apparently I had taken three.  I remember Jimin having his hands on my hips as we moved back and forth.  Everyone was a mass of sweaty bodies together.  At some point I lost Jimin in the crowd as began to panic slightly.  I began to look around as I still tried to move to the beat of the music.  It wasn't until someone's tight grip clamped onto my waist was a brought sharply back to reality.   I felt a body press up behind me as arms wrapped around me and warm breath near my ear.

     "You thought I wouldn't recognize you with that disguise on, hmm?"   he whispered in my ear breathily.  I almost instantly relaxed when I heard him speak, leaning more into him as we were both now moving with the music.  

     "What gave me away?"  I asked back with a slight smile.

"I'd recognize your scent anywhere."  he chuckled in response before turning more serious and spinning me around to face him, his "You shouldn't be here."   I could see his serious in his dark eyes over his mask.

    "I'm here for the same reason you are...do you even have a plan?"  I asked him seriously.  He glanced back behind me before tugging me back with him away from the crowd and pulled me into one of the dark booths lining the outside of the club.

    "Of course I have a plan...But you really shouldn't be here."  he stressed.

"Why?  Why, Yoongi?  What is so bad about me being here?  You're the one who shouldn't be here.  Look at what they do to hybrids."  I hissed at him my eyes flicking over to one the hybrids that was a female with cute cat ears like Yoongi's and a tail, except her's were brown, and she was sitting on the lap of some rich guy.  She was barely clothed and the most prominent thing on her was her collar.   

    "You can't be here."  He repeated.  

"Why!?"  I snapped back, getting annoyed now at his persistence.   His face tightened as he glanced across the room again before roughly grabbing my wrist and now nearly dragging me out of the booth.  

     "What the hell!"  I shouted as he dragged me half way across the club.  "Stop it!  You're hurting me!"   I hissed at him as I tried to get him to let go of my wrist.  I could feel tears pricking up in my eyes.  Not because he was physically hurting me, but because it hurt more emotionally than anything.  He pulled to the back of the club, away from everything, towards one of the back rooms near where the bathrooms and other what I assumed to be "private rooms".  

    "(y/n), please.  I'm begging you to go home and let me handle this."  he begged me.  My phone pinged and I looked down at it.  

    "Its too late."  I said quietly, looking up from my phone before showing it to him.

"What have you done?"  he asked in shock.

    "I have a meeting to Kang So-ah.  I best not be late."  I said putting my phone back down.   "I'm sorry, but I have to try."  I went to walk back him only for him to grab my wrist again.  

     "What?"  I snapped as I spun back towards him, now very annoyed.  I felt shitty for making him beg me to leave and for doing something he was really against.  I didn't get time to way anything else as in a millisecond his mask was down and his lips were on mine.  I melted.  It was like all of the turmoil of emotions that had been lashing between the two of us just came to a standstill.  He dropped my wrist as hands rested on my hips.  I didn't realize that I had been clutching his dress shirt until he pulled away from the kiss.  

     "Be safe."  he whispered to me with solomn eyes.  I nodded popped up on my toes as leaned towards his ear.

"You too."  I whispered before quickly kissing him on the cheek.  I gently moved his mask back over his face after looking at it unmasked for a second.  I couldn't help but feel as if something really bad was going to happen...but I didn't want to let that bad gut feeling hinder me from what I was going to do.   I left Yoongi there in the back to head over to where Mi-lin told me to meet her contact person.  I took a deep breath.

   "I can do this.  I can do this....for Taehyung."  I whispered to myself before stepping back out into the main part of the club.  This was it...
