T/N: VOCABULARY LESSON!!! WOOHOO!!!!! Here are the new words we used this chapter!
• Ye: (Korean) Another term for 'yeah' or 'yes'.
• Omo: (Korean) Oh My!
• Ani: (Korean) No!
• Aegyo: A Korean word that derives from the Chinese characters "love (ae)" and "beautiful (gyo)." The closest English translation of aegyo would be "winsome," defined by the Merriam Webster Dictionary as "generally pleasing and engaging often because of a childlike charm and innocence." Not surprisingly, aegyo is considered a feminine trait, generally attributed to women who can charm men and elders through a careful balance of sweetness, cuteness, poutiness, modesty, thoughtfulness, and submissiveness. A woman with aegyo knows to blush at dirty jokes rather than guffaw along with her mouth agape. A woman with aegyo knows to let out a modest and appealing squeal and grab tight her date's hand when watching a horror movie.
• Joo-in-nim: (Korean)Translates as owner in reference to a physical object. I chose its use however because Sven does not consider BTS to be people, rather property and that is exactly how Kim Taehyung meant to use it.
• Dong-gab: (Korean) Someone of the same age (based on the lunar calendar)
l moy drug: (Russian) 'my friend'

Out in the hall, the argument that was underway was interrupted by a furious pounding on the steel door. As soon as Mathan had pulled it open, ready to step in and see who had been murdered, Jimin shot out into the hallway like the hounds of hell were chasing him.
"Wha--?" Mathan asked in confusion as Jimin spotted Gregor, immediately running to his side, causing the guard to smirk in Mathan's direction.
"Thank you for your cooperation," Gregor said, oozing condescension as he took Jimin's arm, leading him back down the hall to Sven's quarters.
Looking back into the room, Mathan saw Jungkook on his knees crying as Namjoon, Hoseok, and Yoongi tried to comfort him. He could also see a red mark on Taehyung's face and the anger in his eyes as he glared after Jimin.
Mathan was not looking forward to finding out what had happened while he had been in the hallway negotiating with the terrorists.
Stepping into the room he grabbed the arm of the dead guard, pulling him out into the hallway before turning his attention back on the six remaining men. He cast a glance at Dorian, dismissing him, their conversation to be continued, before going back into the room and closing the door behind him.
"What the hell happened in here?" Mathan asked, his tone deadly and low as he looked around the room for any sign of the fight that had obviously happened.
