Love Always Wins

Chapter 9

Taehyung P.O.V.

Three days go by without any issue, but this just causes me to be more wary of the members in my group. Yoongi is still going through the members one by one asking questions, making sure nobody knows who is next on his list. I want to find this rat as quickly as possible so I know how much of our information has gotten into the hands of NCT. And as a result I've been more cautious around Jungkook so I don't scare him away.

After figuring out my feelings for him, I've gotten a lot closer with him but I don't feel it's a good time to take things any further. I can tell that he's getting frustrated about it and Jimin keeps sending me looks from across the room, as if telling me to make a move

The other main members of my group are starting to exchange worried looks when I'm around. They know the effect this situation has on me, knowing that I'm wondering who I can actually trust.

One of the biggest rules in a gang is to resist giving information to a rival gang, and one of my own has broken it. There's a saying 'snitches end up in ditches' for a reason

I've heard Jungkook speaking with the others about how he's worried with how things are going right now, worried about me, my safety. I honestly couldn't care less about myself, it's him that I'm worried about. He didn't have a choice in getting roped up into any of this.

Sitting in the lounge with the others, I try to focus on the movie playing on the TV. But, I can feel Jungkook's gaze on me causing my focus to falter. It takes most of my effort not to reach over and pull Jungkook in my lap, and tell him it'll all be okay.

Suddenly, the door slams open and Yoongi is standing with a blank expression on his face

"Tae, come with me" He says calmly

I raise an eyebrow, but follow nonetheless

"What is it Yoongi?" I ask

"We found the rat" He says, entering the interrogation room

I stop in my tracks when I see who it is, making sure I keep the shock from registering on my face

"Kang Daesung.... I wouldn't have expected you to be the one giving out my information to little bitches on the street" I say angrily

"I should've been the one you cared about! Ever since that little kid was brought in you've had sights for nobody but him!" He yells, pulling at the handcuffs attached to his chair

Seems he cares more about a little crush on me, instead of his wife back home

I glance at Yoongi, nodding

A look of recognition flickers through his eyes and he leaves the room, returning shortly with a phone

"Tell me Daesung, how is your wife?" I ask, looking at him

The stoic look wipes completely off of his face, seeming to remember he has a wife

"H-How do you know about her?" He asks

"That doesn't matter, how is she?" I say, smirking

He looks into my eyes, trying to read my expression

"S-She's good" He says

"Good to hear Daesung... let's call her shall we?" I ask smiling

I set the phone on speaker, and set it on the table as it rings

He freezes

"Hello?" Woozi answers

"Hello Woozi, would you put So-ra on the phone please?" I ask

You can hear the movement of the phone before a voice comes on

"D-Daesung, what's going on? Who are these people?" She asks, panicked

"Please, she didn't do anything wrong!" Daesung yells

I smile "You're going to tell me what you told NCT, and nothing will happen to her"

"I, I can't.... They'll kill me" He says

"Do it" I command into the phone

On the other end you hear a buzzing noise and a sudden woman's scream

"No! Stop hurting her!" Daesung cries

I give the okay and the noise stops

"Tell me what I want to know Daesung, and it'll stop" I say, leaning forward

"They threatened my life if I told!" Daesung says, pulling on the handcuffs

"You have more to worry about, being here with us... again" I say

The buzzing and screaming starts again

"NO!" Daesung yells

"You know how to make it stop Daesung" I say looking into his eyes

He's panicking, but I can see the resistance

"Turn up the intensity" I command

A look of hurt passes through his eyes as he hears the screaming of his wife on the other end of the phone become more pained

The screaming pauses once more

"Boss, she's passed out" Woozi says into the phone

"Keep going on my command" I say, looking at Daesung's reaction

I see the pain in his eyes, trying to decide what to do. He has no need to worry about NCT finding out he said anything to me, it's me he needs to be worried about

I look at Yoongi, but his face is blank... about as much as I expected in this situation

Opening my mouth to have my guys continue, Daesung finally speaks

"FINE! I'll tell you" He yells

"That's enough for now boys" I say into the phone

I look at him expectantly

"I t-told NCT the information about Jungkook and Jimin's school, which dorm they were in, I told them you were going to be there to retrieve their stuff. They asked for some of our knives and if I didn't they'd kill me, they also threatened me for information about you. Who, who is closest to you... ways to get to you" Daesung explains, crying

I move my chair, sitting directly in front of him

"And what else did you tell them, Daesung?" I growl

"N-Nothing I swear!" He says, looking around the room

Walking up I thread my fingers into his hair, yanking his head back

"So what, you think I'd believe that you wouldn't tell them where our base is? You think I would believe anything you say after this? You will no longer be a part of this group, and you won't be coming back" I say, venomously

He cowers in fear with how close I am, before I stand

Pulling out a gun, I press it to his forehead, before cocking it
