Sacrifices (vkook)

Jaewook adjusted the wire he was wearing once more before entering the building Ms. Jeon has told him to meet her at.

She was supposedly in Busan according to everyone but the people that worked for her so she had to keep a low profile in Seoul.

He walks past security flashing his id to avoid being patted down.

After he walks through the double doors he takes the elevator to the basement floor like he was instructed to.

"Are you in?"

"Shut up, I'm going in." He mumbles as he steps off the elevator and goes to the last set of double doors.

"Good luck."

Jaewook turns down the earpiece off and knocks on the door. "Kim Jaewook."

The doors open and he walks inside to find Ms. Jeon standing in front of her desk.

"Mrs. Jeon." He bows before her.

"You haven't sent an update on your mission. Has anything happened?" She asks crossing her arms.

"No ma'am. We've just been keeping an eye on them to make sure they aren't planning anything. Honestly though, I think that boy has finally cracked." Jaewook says making sure he keeps up his facade.

"How do you mean?"

"He runs around acting like a baby. It's sad, I actually started to feel bad for him." He scoffs. "He's also on medication, as long as he's on it taking him out should be nothing. We just need you to tell us when to make the moves."

Ms. Jeon nods. "Your sister is well?"

"She is, the baby is fine." Jaewook says. "She tells me she was ordered to handle Taehyung but I wanted to offer you a suggestion."

"Go on." She says.

"Because of Haeun's circumstance I'd like to take over her mission." Jaewook says.

    "I don't know, Jaewook. That wouldn't be as fun, would it?" Ms. Jeon says with a heartless smirk.

    "I could make it fun for both of us." Jaewook smirks. "I could make it fun for everyone."

    "I'm listening."

    "I have a plan." He says even though he hadn't thought it through completely. "It's gonna take time though."

    "How much time?" She asks.

"I'm not sure, just trust me." Jaewook says.

"I'd be a fool to trust you." Ms. Jeon says. "You three have a lot of shit going on behind my back, don't you."

"Everything I do is for my brother so basically it's for you." Jaewook says. "You know I'd never do anything to jeopardize getting my brother out of prison. Daebin is the only reason I'm agreeing to any of this, you know that."

"You three and your idiotic family values. You'd be a lot better off if you just forgot about that brother of yours, it's not like you're the one in prison." Jeon says like she couldn't care less.

"Am I taking over Haeun's mission?" Jaewook asks.

"No, I'm taking Haeun off the mission." She says making Jaewook's heart drop.

"What? Why?" He asks. "You do understand how important this is, don't you?"

"Better than anyone. That's why I'm hiring a true professional. Someone who will make that boy disappear without a trace." She says snapping her fingers. "You couldn't come close to him."

"Mrs. Jeon, this mission would be the biggest mission I've ever been on for you. Please give me the chance." Jaewook says, if he lost control of this mission they'd have no time to find the man they were looking for.

"You're taking too much time. I'll have him taken care of in the next week. Jungkook will be married off and sent to the states with his father and both businesses will skyrocket. Simple." She says with a shrug.

"Mrs. Jeon, please." Jaewook says only to be cut off by Junho in his earpiece.

"Back off, Jae."

"I gave you your chance, I don't need you anymore. Your brother will be released immediately following this week. You have no business with me anymore, Mr. Kim. Neither do your siblings."

Jaewook stares at her dumbfounded. "What?"

"Move out, now. Move out, Jae. You're gonna blow our cover."

"Is there a problem?" Ms. Jeon asks. "I kept by end of the deal, what more do you want?"

"It's just over, just like that? Everything I've done for you?" Jaewook asks. "I deserve this mission."

"You're acting like I owe you something. You guys are off the hook. I'll fly you to Jeju whenever you're ready." She says. "It was nice working with you."

"Move the fuck out, you jackass."

Ms. Jeon walks past Jaewook towards the door. "Goodbye, Kim Jaewook."

Jaewook bites his lip as the door shuts behind her.

"J-Junho~"

"Move out, stay quiet."

Jaewook rushes out of the building and into the van that Junho has parked a few blocks away.

"What the fuck, Jae?" Junho says when Jaewook is inside the car.

"What was I supposed to do, Jun? Just let it go? She's gonna fucking kill him!" He says ripping his earpiece out. "By the end of the fucking week! What am I supposed to do? Oh god, what am I gonna~"

"Snap out of, Jae!" Junho yells at him. "We just have to go with another plan."

"There's no other plan, they're gonna kill him." Jaewook says climbing into the back where the cameras were.

"They won't, we'll just have to hide Tae for a little while. We can do it, Jae. Trust me, please? We're gonna find the Big Man." Junho says trying to make him feel better. "We'll figure it out."

Jaewook shakes his head as he checks the cameras at the house. "I can't believe I lost it. We lost the fucking mission."

Junho sighs. "Stay calm, hyung. I think I know what to do. Just, don't tell Haeun. Too much stress could cause a miscarriage."

Jaewook nods. "We're gonna need more people if we plan on handling this ourselves."

"I think I can get some people. What's the name of the guy that you had help us on your first mission?"

"Taeil." Jaewook answers. "He was so reluctant the first time, I doubt he'll help with this. Especially if his own life is at risk."

"We'll figure it out." Junho says again.

Jaewook nods even though he knew deep down inside that things were about to get ugly, really ugly.
