You feel your heart rate increase, the sound of it beating loudly in your ears. You stand behind the tall figures in front of you who are about to greet the guest. You hear the lock click and the sound of the door opening, the brightness from outside making you look to the side for a second.

"It's great to see you." Namjoon greets the guest, his figure still hiding her.

He steps aside, revealing a beautiful woman with long black hair put in a low ponytail. You suddenly feel your self esteem drop to the ground, but you keep your head up.

"Oh, who is this beautiful lady?" she walks a bit closer to you, her black heels clicking against the floor.

"She's not someone you should be worried about. Anyways, this is Areum Choi." Namjoon quickly introduces her and closes the door after two of her guards come in.

"Is that so? Doesn't seem like it." she scoffs and walks past you.

So much for being professional. You turn around with the others and follow their lead to the dining room, where you've never been since you always eat in the kitchen. You curiously look around and part your lips from awe. The dining room looks majestic, all the way from the big crystal chandelier to the beautifully printed carpet. You're still following them like a confused puppy, not knowing what to do. You follow their lead and sit at the table on a free chair beside Hoseok. You look down at your hands that are stiffly on your thighs. Suddenly Hoseok's warm hand is on yours, making you look at him.

"Relax," he whispers quietly but loud enough for you to hear.

You smile at him in response, relaxing a bit. You see his dimples as he smiles briefly at you.

"You two seem close, huh? Why is she even here?" you hear Areum ask with a mocking tone, making both of your heads quickly turn towards her.

"It's none of your business anymore." Hoseok says with a low voice.

"Hey, you're not here to argue," Namjoon says as he eyes both of them. "There's no need to bring up the past."

What are they talking about? Something must have happened between them in the past.

"Anyways, we should start talking about the situation we need to fix." Namjoon starts the business talk, you still being confused as of why you're even there.

     The whole dinner went by slowly without you saying anything while they discussed something you knew nothing about. You noticed a few annoyed glances from Areum, but decided to ignore them.

"I think that's all there is to it. You're staying the night, right?" Namjoon says as he glances at his watch.

Staying the night?! Why wasn't I told about this earlier?

You all leave the dining room while they chat about life and whatnot. You look at the time, noticing it's almost 11 pm.

"I can show you where the guest room is." Jin offers.

You watch them leave and sigh in relief. You're exhausted from all the boring talk and the overall vibe from Areum.

"You should go get ready for bed, you look as tired as me." Jungkook says and shows his bunny smile.

"Okay, you go too." you return a smile and start heading towards your room.

You walk with your gaze on the floor, not noticing the guard coming your way with luggage in his hand. You bump your shoulder into his hard arm, making you almost fall.

"Oh, sorry I didn't-," you start, but notice that the guard just kept walking.

You scoff and keep walking towards your room. You open the door and sigh in relief that the room isn't destroyed. It wouldn't be a suprise from her.

    After brushing your face and teeth, you change into your comfy shorts and a hoodie that you stole from them. You happily walk over to your bed and fall on top of it.

"I'll never get over the softness of this bed." you mutter to yourself and get under the blanket.

"I hope tomorrow will go better." you sigh and close your eyes, falling asleep almost immediately.

     You wake up to the sound of footsteps coming towards you. You open your eyes slightly, only to see a dark, strange room.

"You awake?" a figure appears before you, blocking the view and startling you.

"A-Areum?" you try to move your hands, but something is restraining them.

"Ah, sorry about those handcuffs, I just need you to be really still now." she chuckles and gets up.

"Where am I?" you try to look around and see the two guards leaning on the wall.

"You see, it was fairly easy to get the keys from them. And this building is made by my father, so I've seen the blueprints plenty of times to know where everything is." she explains as she spins the keys around her finger.

"Why are you doing this? I haven't even done anything to you!" you yell as you try to free your legs that are tied together.

"Well, you probably don't know about mine and Hoseok's past together. I don't want it to be in the past! I've been trying to get him to love me again, but it seems that you're in the way!" she comes closer to you as she takes something from her pocket.

"Wait, what are you-" she stops you by putting ducktape on your mouth.

You try to scream and make noise, but everything is muffled. You freeze when you see her take a gun from the table beside her. You feel tears form on your eyes as she plays with the gun, the silencer on the gun showing that she's not just playing with it.

"I don't like getting my hands dirty, so sadly I won't be the one killing you." she says as she motions for the guard to come.

You start sobbing and squirming as he slowly points the gun at you.

"So this is the end for you, huh?" she giggles and steps back.

You close your eyes tightly. The sound of a gunshot echoes in the room, making you flinch. You wait for the pain to come, but you don't feel anything. You open your eyes slowly, only to see the guard on his knees, holding his stomach with a shocked expression.

"I don't think so."
