"S-shownu- I stopped what I was doing, look both ways out the door and went to balcony. "Are you really calling me right now!?" My emotions was mixed between, happiness and curiosity.

"I miss you and I heard what happened at my Uncle's funeral so I had to check up on you."

"How did you hear?"

"The news." He chuckled. "You are married to a world famous Mafia King, going to a mafia boss' funeral."

"Shownu do you know how dangerous it is to call me, especially right now!? I warned you okay, Jimin wants you dead-

"Don't worry Angel, I'm in America on a burner phone." I sighed, relaxing my nerves.

"So how's life, I mean I don't know when I'll hear from you again so I might as well ask." I chewed on my bottom lip.

"It's okay, I got a job at a small town café. I'm using the money I stole from my Uncle Chi to pay for college so I can get a real job."

"Uhm, where are you staying?"

"I got an apartment in Virginia but I hoping to move to California in the future... I'm thinking Los Angeles, with the beaches and girls." He chuckled which made me laugh.

"You haven't changed a bit."

"Eh, I'm wiser. Choosing the way I want to live without peer pressure from others.... I love you and Elle and Sher, and my parents..." he sighed deeply. "Please tell them not to worry." He sniffled, I could tell he was crying. "Well I should go..."

"Take care of yourself Shownu. We love you too." He hung up and I dropped the phone from my ear. I felt a warm thick tear fall down my cheek.

"Did you say Shownu?" My heart was bursting out of my chest as I quickly turned around. "You did?" He had a twisted smile.

"Tae-

"You know where Shownu is and this whole time Jimin has been trying to protect you from him." He leaned in the door frame and crossed his arms. "You let him go didn't you?" His eyes were dark.

"You're not telling Jimin." He scoffed.

"Are you ordering me, Queen?" He mocked. I walked up to him, our bodies inches apart as he towered me.

"You're not telling him." I demanded.

"What are you going to do?" He challenged.

"New Years Eve." His eyes widen and then his jaw clenched.

"You wouldn't, it wouldn't go so well for you either."

"That's a risk, I'm willing to take for Shownu. Now we have two secrets to keep between us." I bumped him while walking from the balcony, downstairs to where everyone else was. I noticed Jimin still didn't take care of that lip so I grabbed the first aid kit and met him on the couch.

"This isn't necessary." He chuckled.

"I don't want it to get infected, I so happen to like your plump lips." I shyly smiled while wiping it with an alcohol pad. His hissed a bit as I continued to dab. "You sure control your temper."

"No one touches what's mine, no matter how frustrated you make me." I lightly chuckled at him before pecking his lips then throwing the pad away.

"You guys make me sick sometimes." He teased.

"Shut up." I said before sitting back down besides Jimin.

"What's taking hyung so long?" Jungkook asked.

"Here I am." Taehyung said while staring me down as he walked.

"Good, now we can discuss what we're going to do about MX."
