"My leg is cold." You sigh, bending down slightly to grip the material and attempt to pull it over your exposed thigh. Taehyung smiles fondly as he watches you fail to cover your leg, and instantly wrap you arm around his afterwards. "I don't like being stared at, Tae. I'm worried that I'll have a panic attack." You mumble as the two of you near the doors, the other men not far behind and scouting the area.

"I don't like the idea of you being stared at either. Don't worry, I'll be by your side the whole time." He says softly as he plants a light kiss on your forehead, and you smile softly up at him. "Ready?" He says softly, pausing as you near the door. You gulp heavily, grippng your invitation tight, before you nod with an uncertain smile.

"Let's go." You say as you begin to walk forwards, swinging your hips with purpose as you and Taehyung hand your invitations to the man by the door. He gives them the once over, before he slides a keycard into a reader, which opens the door.

"That's a little bit of a complication. Keycard is on the list, too, then." Yoongi mutters to Namjoon as they near the door, just far enough behind Taehyung and you to make it seem like you came separately.

"Got it." Namjoon whispers, before they hand over their invitations and follow in after you. "Oh, god. This is going to be harder than I thought." Namjoon grimaces as his eyes sweep over the massive ballroom, of which almost every corner was filled with people.

"The others will be in soon, so that will help. Heh, it seems that Taehyung and Y/N are already doing their jobs." Yoongi says smoothly as the two step into the crowd, spotting a rather large clump of people surrounding where the dance floor must have been, looking mostly at you and Taehyung.

"Tae, I don't know how to dance." You whisper as you walk slowly behind him, his hand around yours as he leads you towards the floor. "Taehyung. Listen to me please. People are-" You shreik softly as Taehyung suddenly tugs on your arm, which causes you to go stumbling into his arms.

"Let them stare, baby. That's why we are here. Now," He smiles as he takes a small step back from you, before he grins charmingly and offers you his hand, while sort of half bowing. "Would you care to dance, my love?" Taehyung says, loud enough for the crowd around to swoon over the deepness of his voice, while you blush and slowly take his hand.

"Yes. I'd love to dance." You smile as you place a hand on Taehyung's chest, while the other one laid on his shoulder. "Is this right?" You giggle softly as he places his hands on your hips, before he smiles childishly at you and shrugs.

"I have no idea." He chuckles softly as he begins to slowly sway you in his arms, glancing at the other people on the floor. "They seem to be doing some steppy thing. Should we try that?" He asks quietly, and you glance over at them, before nodding. Taehyung bites his lip as he slowly begins to step forwards, while you step backwards, and then to the side.

"This is easy enough." You smile softly, while looking down at your feet to make sure you didn't stand on his. Taehyung chuckles as he repeats the same steps, and the two of you slowly work yourself into a rhythm that seemed to hypnotise the women and men around you, while your men were slowly wandering around the room.

"Hold up." Hoseok mumbles softly to  Jin as they pass by the dance floor, immediately slowing their pace as they examine the people watching. Jin hums in response, nodding towards a rather large man in a fully black suit.

"I see it. Big guys got an earpiece." Jin says casually, his voice low as the two of them slowly pass behind him. "Something seems off about that." He says as they continue to skirt the outside of the crowd, before Hoseok nudges him in the side.

"Another one there." Hoseok mutters as he points to a slightly larger man, who was standing at the top end of the dancefloor.

"Two across the other side." Jin says, a frown gradually developing on his brow as they begin to spot more and more men. "Who do you think they are" He asks quietly, watching as one walks in front of them to join one of the singular men.

"Hit men of the boss. They'll be bigger and better versions of what attacked us in our first base. It seems that he's already caught wind, and he's already after-"

"Y/N. Yeah, I see that. We've got to warn them, and Namjoon." Jin grumbles as he glances around the room, before he pats Hoseok on the back and quickly dashes off to see Namjoon.

"Alrighty then." Hoseok whispers to himself as he slowly pushes through the crowd, mumbling small apologies as he went, before he finally came out onto the floor, and moved over to where you and Taehyung were dancing. "Care for a dance, young lady?" He grins softly, sending a small wink to Taehyung as he offers his hand to you.

"Of course." You smile as Taehyung lets go of you, and you place your hand in Hoseok's. "Fancy seeing you-"

"Taehyung, stay away from the sides of the floor." Hoseok whispers quickly, watching as Taehyung walks towards the crowd. He pauses, glancing around at the people, before he wanders slowly back towards you.

"Hoseok, what's up?" You say quietly, your eyes surveying the people watching as the two of you dance. "Have we been found out?" You whisper, and he nods slowly as he looks over your shoulder.

"There are at least six, maybe more, hitmen surrounding us right now. They didn't seem bothered by me and Jin, but they're definitely after you. It's not safe to come out of this open space, not even with Taehyung. There's enough men to take you both down in a second." He whispers quickly, plastering a smile on his face as he catches the eye of one of the hitmen.

"I understand. I'll tell Taehyung." You whisper back, smiling a little in response to his. Hoseok nods, before he stops dancing and gently kisses your hand, while Taehyung walks towards the two of you.

"Stay here for as long as you can. I'll be back." He whispers as he let's go of your hand, before he walks up to Taehyung for a second.

"Psst. Y/N." You hear someone mutter behind you, and you frown as you turn around and peer into the crowd. For a moment, you think you can see Jimin amongst them, and quickly walk towards him to see what he needs.

"Jimin?" You call out softly, eyes darting around the crowd to try find him. As you turn around, your eyes widen as you spot one of the hitmen right in front of you, before he grins and presses a chloroform rag to your face, knocking you out clean.

"Okay, thanks, Hoseok." Taehyung mumbles as he pats him on the back, before he turns around with a smile, ready to dance with you, but you weren't there. "Y/N?" He says lowly to begin with, his smile instantly disappearing as he scans the floor. "Y/N!" He shouts a little louder, which now gains Hoseok's attention just as he was about to leave.

"Taehyung, what's-"

"She's gone."
