Kihyun

She was pacing back and forth, calling Changkyun repeatedly but he wouldn't answer. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous as well.

"PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE!" She screamed, hanging up for the nth time. She rubbed her temples before stopping behind the desk.

"Maybe he's busy doing something." Jooheon suggested.

"I've been calling all fucking morning." She slammed her phone down, taking a seat. "We need to go ahead with the plan to make her come out of hiding... send Clifford."

"I'm sure he'll get back to you when he can."

"Why are you so adamant on this?" She asked him, which sealed his lips shut, all of a sudden. Seconds passed by and he said nothing which raised my suspicions. She stood up again, grabbing her phone, I guess to call Changkyun again. Then Jooheon pulled out his phone and started typing away.

Before I had time to process, a gun went off and that's when I realized, she had shot Jooheon in his midsection. He stopped what he was doing of course, holding his stomach before grunting violently.

"It burns, why does it burns so bad!!" He cried, falling over, off the chair.

"Because it's laced with a special kind of poison, that I had made. Soon we'll be putting it on the market, its slow acting so you have about twenty four hours before it kills you unless you have the antidote." She smiled wickedly.

"Let this be a lesson to all of you, not to cross me. First it's painful, then it numbs you, you'll probably hallucinate, before you cough up blood and eventually die. Lock him up." She said before walking out. I saw him laying on the ground, crying in agonizing pain.

We were all hesitant, but I know for a fact, I didn't want to be next. As much as I care for Jooheon, this is a business and you don't cross the people you work with, more like work for.

"Come on guys." I said with a shaky breath. Wonho and Hyungwon both took his arms and legs. Minhyuk followed as I stayed behind, collecting Jooheon's phone of the floor. He was texting Shownu before he got shot saying "Warn Angel that" I guess he was about to tell them about her plans. I debated on calling Shownu but one thing is for sure is that I'm not doing it here.

Jimin

I took the day off early and convinced China to join me, since technically, I am her boss. I brought her to my house as we occasionally played with Jiminaa, ate take out and watched movies.

"Who would ever leave this beautiful little girl." I had to fight the urge to say something. Instead I remained silent, watching how she interacted with her. "She's so precious." China smiled before looking at me.

"How do you do it?"

"What do you mean?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"How do you manage to raise her and run a multimillionaire company?" I shrugged my shoulders, moving closer to her.

"I don't know.. I just do it. She teaches me new things, all the time, which makes everyday, more exciting." I smiled with content upon staring into Jiminaa eyes, which looks so much like her mother's.

"I hope in the future she has a mother figure in her life." She says and hearing makes me want to choke out a pissed off bull, but again I swallowed that feeling.

"I think the future is closer than we think." I stared at her. For the nth I left her flustered.

"I'm going to go put her down." I say as I grab Jiminaa from China.
