Chapter 14 - Chapter 12 : Caught

"Taejoon! Get out of the bathroom, you've been in there for 2 hours now!" "Do you realise that you have a bathroom in your room?" Taewon said. "The air-conditioning stopped working. I can not handle being in a hot bathroom." Taemin said whilst banging on the door. "Just saying, eomma is going to shout at you." Taewon walked away and headed downstairs to the dining room and tried to stop himself from laughing. "What's with your face?" "You have no idea what's going to happen. Any moment now." Yoogun looked at his cousin in confusion as he laughed uncontrollably. "Is something on my face?" "No, you look fine." Byeol said as she continued to eat her meal. "What's going on?" "This is going to get even better! His reaction will be priceless!" "So, if you're not in your bedroom where were you?" Sohee asked. "I went for a jog in the garden with appa." Taejoon sat down and waited for his meal. "Stop cackling like an animal. You're at the dining table, respect the fact that others are eating." "Apologies , hyung..." Taewon held his head down while silently smiling, his long hair flopping on his face and covering his eyes. "Eunjae, stop eating so much! I have to wash so many of your dishes now, stop giving me a huge pile of work." "But mother–" "No buts, you should go train with your father now." Eunji snatches the unfinished plate from him. "Yuan, if you dare disobey me again I swear you will face the consequences!" "Pfft whatever." Yuan rolled his eyes as he followed his mother to into the house. "What did he do?" Jungkook asked. "He broke a whole display shelf of TVs while we were in the mall. I had to repay like a fool." Yu Yang complained. "So Jina, come on....why is your dress so dirty? This is the fifth time today that I had to change your clothes, come with mommy." Hana took her upstairs again. "Taejoon... I gotta go..." "What are you doing?" "Oh, eomma! You gave me a shock." "What are you doing here?" Seohyun repeated with her stern gaze set upon her son. "I- i need to use the bathroom and have a shower." Taemin explained. "What happened to your bathroom? Don't worry, you can use my one. Your father will be out for a while, he went running with Joonie earlier today." Seohyun lead him to her bedroom. "Wait, Taejoon has not been in his room from the morning? I have been waiting outside his room for the past 3 hours." Taemin complained. "Come on, get ready as soon as you can." She ruffled his hair with a smile before going to check on her other children.

"Byeol, why is there grease stains all over your bedroom floor? You should remember to take your shoes off before entering the house! Ugh, now I have to clean your room _again_ ." Yu Yang sighs and marched upstairs. "Hmph, don't worry about your mother's tantrums I'll punish her later. She doesn't realise that you fix up her bikes and cars daily to make sure that she does not face any problems." Yoongi strokes his daughters hair before joining them at the dinner table. "Don't get your clothes dirty again. Oh, Hyun did you eat yet?" "No , aunty Hana. I'm not hungry." "Don't say that. You will get sick if you don't eat, come with me." she makes him sit in the dining room and gets some food for him. "Honey, can you get me some more Kimchi." Jin asks. Hana gives him a death stare before handing the jar to him. "Help yourself." "Give me a spoon." "Can't you do anything for yourself!" she throws the spoon at him and it hits his face. "Uh- thank you..." Jin stayed silent and finished his food. "Sohee, Sora would you girls like anything else to eat?" "No, eomma. We just finished but thank you for asking. Sora and I are going to study now." Sohee hugged her mother before running off with her twin to the library. "Jinwoo, Jooheon, Yeji. Come on, you three should also eat breakfast." Eunji said. "Ah, Taemin. Come on and eat before they finish everything." Taehyung said. "Wait...did eomma shout at you or not?" "Why do you care, Taewon? I know you j- just want me to get into tr- trouble." Taemin started having breathing difficulties, a result of his anxiety attacks. "Shh, calm down. Appa is here." Taehyung strokes Taemins hair to help him calm down while Seohyun rushed over to find the anxiety pills. "Here, Taemini..." she often worried about Taemin the most. He was the only child that suffered from anxiety attacks which made his health critical every time. "Come on, you should get some rest." "B-but eomma..i- I have to train with appa t-today." he stuttered. "Shh, its ok. You can train with him tomorrow when you feel better. Now, just relax and get some sleep. I will be back to check on you after I get back from some work that I have to take care of." she tucks him in and covers him properly with the blanket. "Eomma, saranghae." Seohyun looks back and smiles, tears welling in her eyes. "I love you too. Get some sleep." she turns the light off and closes the door behind her.

"How is Mini now?" Yu Yang asked. "He's fine. I just put him to sleep." "You should realise that Taemin is not feeling well. He is not like the rest of you. Taemin gets startled easily and when he gets too angry or sad then he starts wheezing and he stutters. You all need to be more careful when you are with Taemin." Taehyung explained. Seohyun advances, anger consuming her face as she grabs Taewon by his ear and drags him away from the rest of the children which Taehyung was talking to. "Oww, eomma...please forgive me!" "You're feeling pain, right? It hurts doesn't it? This is what Taemin goes through every time he gets anxiety attacks. His chest gets tight and he gasps for air. His heart locks up and a strong painful sensation is spread across his chest. You will never know what he has gone through during his childhood. Taemin has one of the strongest will powers that I have ever seen, although he was a very sickly baby he never cried once. Not once! I have never seen anything like this before and...as a mother I got so scared when your father and I had to take him to the hospital every week. Never do anything like this again, or else I will do much worse to you." Seohyun said with tears in her eyes. She let go of his ear and started to walk away. "Eomma...I'm sorry. Forgive me." he bowed down before her. Seohyun turned around and , almost out of instinct, threw her slipper at him which hit his head. "You should be saying that to your brother." Seohyun left the house to take care of some work. "Get up, don't worry. You know how much your mother loves you. She's just worried about Mini at the moment. Once she calms down everything will be alright." Taehyung picked his son up. "Come on, we have work to take care of for Namjoon." Jimin said. He nods and follows Jimin, Yoongi, Jin and Jungkook to the garage. "We are so late, Namjoon is going to be so mad at us." Jungkook sighs. "Relax, we know Namjoon better than this. He won't get angry if we're late." Yoongi said as they walked into the meeting room. "Ma'am, please...we cannot take part in the race however we still would like to join your mafias pack." "Listen here. I don't have time for your bullshit. Either learn how to ride bikes or give up, the choice is yours." Seohyun left the meeting room and made her way to the hospital.

"What did you call us all the way to your casino for? I was enjoying such delicious breakfast made by our sister - in - laws." Jungkook complained. "Ahh, I wished I was there to eat some." Hosoek said. "I must say, the four of them cook really well." Jimin smiled. "Since we are talking about the girls this is what I have called you for. I think that we should treat them out on a nice vacation somewhere far where we all can relax. During the vacation the seven of us should take care of the children so that they can have fun by themselves for a while." Namjoon said. "Are you serious? While the four of them are out enjoying themselves we have to stay with the children. Why is this happening." Taehyung complained. "You are acting like you got married to Seo yesterday." Jungkook said. "Think of it from the girls point of view. They go to work everyday, have to take care of all the kids by themselves, have to take care of the seven of us and they have to cook everyday. They must be so tired  but they never complain because they love the children and their spouses." Jin explained. "Thats true, they love all of our children equally." Hosoek nods. "Alright, I see your point." "So, where are we going this time?" Yoongi asked. "Paris, we have not been there. We should tell them once we finish organise everything." Namjoon said. "Are you sure that there is nothing that I can do to help with his anxiety attacks?" "The anxiety pills should help to stabilise his breathing difficulties and eventually the sedatives will kick in which will help him to calm down. Just continue to give him the pills whenever he gets the attacks and everything should be fine." Dr Park explained. "Ok, thanks for trying." Seohyun got up to leave. "It's your own fault. You married the wrong guy so it's obvious that it would effect your children." "What did you say? It's not Taehyungs fault! If anything I should be blaming my own family, your brother-in-laws side of the family were sickly assholes. Taehyung takes care of all of the kids and he is the best father that I have seen. If you ever talk badly about my husband again then I will not hesitate to have you taken care of, I don't care if you are family or not." Seohyun left the room in anger, heading back to the estate and tried her best to calm down. "Does she not realise that my brother-in-law is her very own father? Oh well, I couldn't care less." "Come on, we should start getting dinner ready. Seo is on her way and she will join us as soon as she gets here." Yu Yang grabs her apron as the three of them began to make preparations for dinner.

"Seo, are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." It was evident on her face , which was unusually expressionless, that she was not ok. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes were red in colour. "Don't worry, all of us are here with you." The three of them hugged her before continuing with their pending work "Hey Taemini. Are you alright now?" "Yes appa, I'm fine now." "That's good to hear. My son is such a fearless fighter, nothing can keep him down." Taehyung said, making him smile. "Appa, I feel like I am not strong enough compared to the rest of my siblings. Even Sora is much stronger than I am and she's a girl. I feel like such a burden and a disappointment to you and eomma." Taemin pored his heart out. "Shh, don't say things like that! You make me and your mother very proud to have you as our son. We will always love you so much no matter how old you get. The fact that you can fight off your anxiety proves that you are stronger than your siblings, don't worry my son! You have your fathers healthy genes and your mothers strong genes, you are just perfect the way you are." Taehyung hugged his son as he cried on his shoulder. "Hey Taemin, here's the anxiety pills I got from Dr Park. Honey, no matter what happens we should never call Dr Park to come to our house ever again, alright?" Taehyung nods as she left the bag of medication on the cupboard which stayed beside his bed. "Is dinner ready yet?" "Almost, you guys can get seated while we finish up." "Alright, come on Mini. Easy now." Taehyung helped him up and they head downstairs.

"Dinner is ready!" Yu Yang called the team of children to the dining room. "Seo is still in the kitchen?" The three women nod slowly as Taehyung got up in search for her. "May I be of assistance my love?" "Hmm." she points at the heavy bowls without making eye contact. "Oh, why is my queen so sad?" he pulls her close to him and hugs her tightly. "I'm just so tired of everything. I have to take care of the kids and make sure that you are taken care of, I have to cook dinner and on top of that I also have to handle the Mafia work. Its so frustrating." Seohyun said. "Say no more, my love. I can make you feel better!" he turns her around and shows her the finalised booking of a holiday resort. "Oh my gosh, honey! I love you so much. Ahh, you are the best husband!" she rewards him with several kisses. "Hmm, now I don't want to see you unhappy ever again." Taehyung helps her out. "We have to make our move soon before it gets too late!" "Yeah I know. For now all we can do is stalk them at a steady pace, Biho. They are going on a holiday in a few days and we will have to plan accordingly." Jisuk said with a straight face. His sibling nods and leaves the room, attending to his own future plans. "So, when is our check in day?" "In exactly 4 days, Hana. This time all of us will go." Hosoek smiles. "It has been a while since we've been on a holiday. I think the last time we went out was right after Yuan & Gun were born." Jin added as he reached for the jar of Kimchi, again. "So who is going to manage the Mafia work and the casinos?" Yu Yang asked. "Simple. We have installed security cameras up in each casino and the next Mafia in line will handle the pending work for the time being." Jimin explained. "We have a better chance of trusting Suho than the new recruits so EXO will be in charge when we are gone." "Eomma, are we all going on a holiday?" Sora asked. "Yes, my princess. We all deserve a break." Taehyung smiles. "Remember what we discussed, Taehyung. The girls will have fun by themselves while we take care of the kids for them." Namjoon said. "Yayy! Its been so long since the four of us spent time alone together!" Hana said.

"Its MAPLELANE, the Ichor estate." "Are you sure? I'm certain that 8 rich entrepreneurs live in the Ichor estate with their children." Biho said. "They're no entrepreneurs. The 8 of them are Mafia members in hiding, a woman with teal hair colour is the leader of the female Mafia while the leader of the male Mafia lives elsewhere with 2 of his partners. The children are no saints either, they have access to weaponry and specialised training to inherit the Mafias. Often, the leader of the male Mafia ,along with the 2 partners, visit the Ichor estate daily. Its as if the 11 of these vile criminals are family." Jisuk discussed. "So why don't we just attack them and be over with it?" "That's not how father would do it. We have to make sure that nothing leads back to us in any way. My task will be to follow one of the daughters of the female leader and get close to her so that we can ruin them later on so I will have to go to Paris. Now, your task will be to infiltrate their estate and set up security cameras around the whole estate. The house itself is bigger than anything we could ever imagine so you have to set the cameras up one floor at a time, you can take the time that they are out of the house. That will give you exactly two weeks, and whatever you do don't touch or steal anything! Remember you have to do this at night." "Why should I do this at night? Would it not be easier to do it during the day?" Biho asked. "Are you an imbecile. They have maids, chefs, and a team of security that patrol the estate during the day. They will all be asleep during the night so you will have a better chance of getting everything done without getting caught. Use your brain for once in your life!" Jisuk started preparing his plane ticket and accommodation for the 'holiday' while Biho went to get spy cameras to set up.

"Is everything packed?" "The jet is loaded. We are just waiting for the children to get ready then we can go." Jungkook said. "What are you up to?" "What does it look like I'm doing, Minji?" "Oh well, its our holiday so we should leave all the studying until the two weeks are over, Joonie." She playfully takes the book away from him and hides it behind her back. "What are you doing? I don't have time for your childish actions right now." he tries to grab the book from her. Minji runs around the room to try and get away from him, Taejoon catches her but trips on his carpet. The two of them fall on the bed and their lips touch by accident. "I- I'm sorry." Minji pulls his face down to another kiss, the two of them breath heavily as their bodies are too close to each other. Minji blushes as Taejoon gets off of her and grabs his book, she walks away without looking at him.

"Hmm, I wonder what that was about." He scratches his hair and looks down towards his pants in shock. "Wh- what am I supposed to do about this!" he panicked as he could hear someone walking towards his room. Instantly he grabs a pillow and covers his thighs with it.

"Hey Joonie, are you done getting ready?" "Yes appa." "Alright, come downstairs soon." Taehyung turns to leave. "Wait appa! Could...could you help me. I don't know what to do." Taejoon looks at him with a scared face. "Hmm, what happened son?" He removed the pillow and showed him what happened. "Oh, I see. Well I'll explain it to you. You see, when you like a girl– " Taehyung had a boy talk with him and tried to help Taejoon out as much as he could.

"And what are you two doing in here?" "Nothing, we were just talking. Come on, let's go downstairs to check on the other kids." Taehyung suggested.

"Minji, are you alright? You look like something happened to you." "What makes you say that? Nothing happened." Yoogun caresses her face with his hand, making her look up at him and pulling her closer to his face. "Your cheeks are pink, you are blushing. What are you hiding?" "I...its nothing." she brushed it off and turned to get away from him. Yoogun grabs her hand, making her stop in her tracks and blush even more. "You can tell me anything, I promise that it will stay between the two of us." he pulls her closer to him, hugging her from her back. "I'm telling you, nothing happened ok?"

Taejoon had come downstairs shortly after his parents had only to see Minji and Gun so close to each other. "What are you doing? Don't you see that you are making her feel uncomfortable." Yoogun let go of her and moved away slowly. "I'm sorry, Minji." she nods and walks away from them. "You should keep your hands to yourself." Taejoon scoffed as he walked away. "Hmm, what's up with him." Gun rolled his eyes and joined everyone in the lounge.

"Where were you? We've been waiting for you, Gun." "I was in the bathroom. Should I invite you next time?" he rolls his eyes again. "Shut it! You shouldn't have a big mouth with your father." Yoongi hit Guns face.

"Alright, since everyone is here we should get seated in the jet." Namjoon suggested to break the awkward silence.

Hours has passed with the plane remaining quiet. Why? Everyone was fast asleep, exhausted. Succumbed to peaceful slumber. "Attention, we have arrived in Paris. Landing will commence shortly so make sure your seatbelts are fastened and that you all are chewing gum." the captain announced. "We needed that." Seohyun smiled while stretching, relaxation rushed to her head and she just kept very still until she was normalized.

Immediately the cars were set out and on their way to the resort, smiles and laughter were visible all around. For the first time, the family was content and joyful. "How long are you going to stay single? Don't you want someone to spend the rest of your life with?" Yu Yang asked. "Hmm, that would be nice. I don't ever have the time for dating though. I'm too busy lately." Jungkook stared out of the window. "Having a wife will help you take care of Hyun. You can have less off of your shoulders." Yoongi glanced at him from the blindspot window. "I know-" He looked out at the view. "Being a single parent isn't easy. I don't know what I'm supposed to do for Hyun. I don't knyif he's going to turn out like me...or worse." he sighed.

"Aunty Seo, how much further?" Hyun asked. "I think maybe ten minutes sweety." "I have to use the bathroom!" he cried. "Tae, is there a gas station that you can take him to the restroom?" she asked. "There's one up ahead." he pulled over. "Alright, let's go." he took Hyun inside. "Don't worry, we'll be at the resort soon." Seohyun reassured the other kids that went with them.

"What took you so long? We began worrying about you all." Eunji asked. "We had to stop so Hyun could go to the restroom. Anyway we're here now. Time go relax!" Taehyung smiled.

"Bonjour! I'm Jean François your butler in waiting. I shall cater to all of your needs." he introduced himself. "Can we have the wifi password?" Minji asked. "Of course madame. It's 7283XBQJ0. Feel free to call me whenever you need my assistance. Please enjoy your stay." he bowed. "Thank you." Yoongi nods. "Alright, let's go." Seohyun looped her arm with Yu Yang and the four of them headed off to her car. "Do we really have to let them go alone?" Taehyung asked and frowned. "Unfortunately, yes. They need this break, not us." Jin sighed.

"Are you inside?" "Yes Jisuk. I'm here. Special double secret agent Biho is in the house!" "What even? Dude, pay attention." Jisuk shouts. "Ok." he whispered. "Now, remember to not touch anything. Don't leave finger prints anywhere." "Got it!" "Do you have the cameras to set up?" Biho opened the bag and all the cameras fell out creating a large ruckus. "Biho! I told you to stay quiet!" he shouts. "Roger, sorry." he began picking them up. "Make sure you put them in easy hiding spots that they will not notice the cams." Jisuk instructs. "Ahh!" Biho shouts. Another loud thud was created. "*sigh* what did you do now?" "I fell down before the stairs." Biho scratched his hair. "Just get your job done and get out of there. I'm going out, I'm already in France. Will text when I'm done." he cut the call.

"This sucks." Jimin trumpets. "Who's idea was this anyway?" "Namjoon and Taehyung." Jin sighed. "They need this. Do you see how the four of them stress more lately? It's not good for their health." Taehyung responds. "I'm surprised to agree but even Yu Yang stresses more." Yoongi said. "What should we do then?" Jimin asked. "Let's go for a drink. I think we deserve to do that." Jin grimaced. "What about the kids?" Taehyung asked, glancing back at the resort behind them. "That butler guy can take care of it." Yoongi points."Can we go out?" Hosoek suggests? "Yeah, let's go." Jimin grinned at the rest of his brothers. "No leaving us behind this time." Namjoon wagged his finger.

"You know what I've realized?" Seohyun asked. "What?" Eunji looked at her. "None of us ever had bachelorette parties." "That's not true." "Hana, that final sleepover before your wedding day doesn't count." Yu Yang raised her brow. "Then—" she looked out of the window, "Nevermind." "We deserve at least one night of unexplainable fun. I mean, what's the least that could happen?" Eunji agreed. "A hangover," Seohyun stared at the road while driving. "A hangover doesn't sound that bad. I don't think I've had one. Let's do it!" she smiled.

"Whats a good bar around town?" Jungkook asked. "𝒯𝒽𝑒 ℳ𝒶𝒹𝒽𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇. It's got good reviews online. Also great DJs play there every night." Hosoek showed them an instagram account of 𝒯𝒽𝑒 ℳ𝒶𝒹𝒽𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇. "Great. Remember, no hanging with other chicks. Unless you're single." Jimin looked at them. "Technically that would be cheating." Jin frowned. "Well, let's not start now." Yoongi shook his head. The mere thought of Yu Yang beating him up again made him tremble slightly.

"Do you want to maybe go shopping or something?" "Sure, let's get out of here." Sohee took Yuan's hand and they headed out, both claustrophobic by the huge crowd of siblings and cousins.

"Hey this is my room!" James shouts.

"Sorry but I was here first. Find your own room, Jooheon." Sora scoffed.

"The others are all full." he rolled his eyes and sets the bag on the other bed in the room.

"Don't try anything stupid or else I'll murder you." she growled."As if." he grunts.

Flustered, Sora walked out of the room to spend time by herself.

"Where's Namjoon going?" Hosoek asked. "To get coffee. He hasn't had any since we've landed here in France." Yoongi said.

"I have a bad feeling. We can't get ahold of them!" Taehyung panicked. "All of their phones are switched off." Jin shouts. "I'll try hacking but it'll take some time. Meanwhile we should look around. Split up!" Jimin said and they all ran in different directions.

"Namjoon, we all have split up to look for the girls. Their phones are switched off and we can't get ahold of them." Jungkook spoke while running around.

"Alright, as soon as I'm done here I'll begin looking. Don't panic too much, they're fine. Surely." He reassured him.

"Hmmph, tell that to Taehyung."

"Why did they take our phones?" Hana complained. "I don't k n o w..." Yu Yang stared at the ceiling. Their drinks were spiked, obviously so. "Why are you being so mean?" Eunji asked. "Come on, have more drinks with us." they smirked. "Ok!" they agreed way too easily, unlike themselves.

During his venture Hosoek was drawn towards a small crowd gathered in the street where music played from the center. He made his way to the front and saw a beautiful girl. A street dancer of Japanese origin. He was mesmerized. In utter awe.

"Excuse me, who is she?" "How do you not know her? She's Ito Mamiko, one of the best Japanese street dancers in the world!" the person next to him explained between all of the bustle of the cheering crowd. "Thank you thank you! I'm really grateful for all of your support." she bowed and smiled as the crowd scattered gradually.

"You were amazing out there." she turned and looked at him. "Well, thanks." her smile was warm and welcoming. Hosoek could feel his heart thumping, reverberating between his ribs.

"I don't have the time at the moment but I'd love to get to know you better. Message me on my number when you're not busy. I'll see you around." he smiled and handed her one of his business cards before racing away, finding Jin and running together with him. "Arigato." she grinned.

"Next please." "I'll have a cinnamon americano to go." "No problem." she smiled. The woman before him was beautiful and passionate about her work, clearly so. Her hair was in a loose ponytail and she had a type of glow about her. Namjoon watched her closely and noticed the badge on her shirt showing her name, 'Sang-mi', and the simple bracelets on her wrist. She created works of art through coffee.

"Here's your coffee–" but it was futile now.

A coworker bumped into her who was carrying hot cinnamon buns and as such she spilled the coffee on her customer.

"Ahh! My suit is ruined now! Do you know this was Gucci!" he complained, not bothering about his minor burns on his arm.

"I'm terribly sorry, I'll get you another one free of charge." she frowned, holding back tears.

That's when he noticed what'd happen, her manager was watching her, waiting for an opportunity to fire her. This incident was planned.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you. Your talent is worth more in our hometown than this place full of racist pricks. Look, it's obvious that it's going downhill for you. If you're ever in town give me a call and I'll see you around." he told her in their mother tongue. "Oh, and I like your hair." he said when he had turned around and began walking away.

"Namjoon, glad we found you." Hosoek pants. "Lets head this way." He points. "What happened to your suit?" Jin examined the cloth on him. "A planned mistake. Needless to worry about it, we have more important tasks at hand."

"For the last time lady, do you know any fameous clubs around? I'm looking for my four sister-in-laws." he accidentally slipped in Korean.

"Why didn't you say so? My English isn't so great, there's The Madhatter and a few bars and clubs around that corner of Paris." the woman pointed.

"I'm sorry for raising my voice but... you're very beautiful. Contact me and we'll meet up some time. Thank you for your assistance." Jungkook smiled and handed her his business card.

"I'll definitely see you around in Seoul." she grinned. "Jungkook! We found them!" Jimin shouts as the six of them ran past him and into the direction that she'd just shown him. He winked at her before following along.

"Ow!" Seohyun shouts. The men in their company had tossed them onto sofas somewhere in the club. The four of them each taking advantage of the women before them. "This is gonna be fun." Alex smirked.

"What do you think you're doing to my wife?" Taehyung asked, squeezing at the man's throat.

"You're dead now." Yoongi stared at the man standing above his Yu Yang, his nerves pulsated in fury as he battled to keep his cool.

The brawl began when Jin kicked Nick in the face; Jimin, Taehyung and Yoongi following up with Jungkook, Namjoon and Hosoek backing them up giving them an advantage.

The frenchmen were paralysed by the time they were done with them.

"We're never doing this again. Never leaving them alone for hours on end." Jimin spits at the four shells of men that lay on the floor. They carried their wives out of the bar, all four drugged slightly and unable to wake themselves at the time being.

"We're leaving tomorrow morning." Namjoon sighed.

"I know they made a mistake but we can't punish everyone because of the four of them." Jin said.

"The pack has been in a frenzy since we left. We need to fix this. I feel we've been too lenient and they are starting to retaliate."

"He has a point. Payments have began coming in late and the leaders don't even pitch up to meetings anymore." Jimin showed them the statistics.

"I fear Sakura Ichor and Bangtan will get overthrown." he sighed.

"Don't say that. We can fix this." Jungkook spoke up.

"I heard rumors of alliances between the mafias as of late." Taehyung gave his input.

"That seems to be the case. That's why we shouldn't let our guards down and fix this as soon as possible." Yoongi twirled his gun with his fingers.

"It's settled. We're leaving tomorrow at 7AM and no later." Namjoon sighed.

"What happened?" Seohyun asked as she woke up the next day. "We need to head back to Seoul. The pack is crumbling apart." Taehyung muttered as he packed their things. "Honey, I'm sorry. Those idiots spiked my drinks." she began to cry. "Hey, luckily they never touched or harmed you. I'm glad I saved you from those scum." he walked to her and kissed her gently, his hand caressed her jawline while his free hand wiped her tears away. "Now go and freshen up before we leave." She smiled. He's changed so much for the better. Loving her too much was his natural gift now.

"Jimin, make sure you make a list of the late payments for the past six months so that we can sort it out. Then we'll visit their mansions and deal with things accordingly." Namjoon broke his fingers one by one, followed by his neck. "Affirmative." "Eunji, what's the stats?" Seohyun asked. "Not looking great..." she began prattling on about the matter. "We should start chucking the dead meat of the pack and recruit better equipped mafias." Seohyun said. "Indeed. It's urgent." Namjoon agreed.

The 11 of them were straight at work discussing their plans of action for the day, leaving the kids home alone again. Something was different. It wasn't right. "More! More!" Hyun said as they continued drinking. "Taemin! Where did you get these from? Are you high?" Taesung snatched the cigarette from him. "Sung...Poof!" he threw the powdered drugs into his twins face followed by forcing some alcohol into his mouth. "Min? We're fucked up..." Taesung smiled. "Woah, is that a purple duck?" Taewon walked backwards while staring at the ceiling, clearly high out if his skull. His eyes bright red and his stature hypered. "You can stay with me in the lounge." Jinwoo grimaced as a group of women followed him into the house. Each trying to hold a part of his body or kiss him somehow. "Minji? Where did you get this from?" "Oh, Eunjae. I uh- I found it!" "Liar, give it to me." he sighed. "Freeze! You're under arrest." A police officer shouts and runs over to him. "She has nothing to do with it." Eunjae stares at her as she begins walking away with tearfulled eyes. "For drug smuggling you should roughly be sentenced to 10 years in prison but that's just my estimate." the officer spoke as he cuffed him and pushed him in the car.

"Dad, can you get home soon? There's alot of bad things happening here." Jooheon said. "We are leaving soon." Namjoon rolled his eyes and sighed. Jooheon cut the call and smiled at the scenery before him. "Where's the hyungs?" Sora asked. "Who knows. Let's start training without them anyway." Byeol said and put their favorite music on. "Ah, Japanese ancient war themes. This is so relaxing." Sohee grinned and stretched. "If Taejoon or Gun or any of them were around we'd be stuck listening to boring music, not even Kpop." So-Jina sighed.

"What the—" They were stopped in their tracks. "What's going on here!" Seohyun shouts. The women with Jinwoo all ran out hurriedly. "Jooheon! What happened here?" Namjoon asked. His face stern with disappointment. "I don't know. I saw the girls go to train and thought the guys were going as well. When I came to look for them I saw this happening and contacted you afterwards." he explained. "Let's search the rooms incase something else happened or if there's other people stashed in our home." Yoongi said. A few split up while the others stood firmly in the lounge.

"Eunji, the police are calling me. Should I answer?" Jimin looked shocked. He never got police calls in his lifetime. She looked at him and nods. "Hi, this is Mr Park. What is the matter?" his face went white upon hearing the man on the other end of the phone talk to him. "Ah, I- I see. Thanks for informing me." he almost dropped his phone. "Well?" Eunji asked. "Eunjae has been arrested for drug smuggling. He was caught out in the open. The court is not granting him bail and he's going to be in prison for 10 years." Eunji fell apart hearing this. "Not again." she cried. First her mother, now her son. Could it get any worse.

"Ah Min-Hun!" Jin could here someone moaning. A girl. It sounded like a girl in his son's room. "Min-Hun! Open this door at once." he kicked at it. "Yes?" Jin slapped him and dragged him downstairs, "You're in alot of trouble!" he shouts. Yeji got dressed and escaped through the window, landing next to a bench that Sohee was sitting on. "Oh hey Sohee." "Yeji? What were you doing?" she asked. "Nevermind that. The guys are in big trouble." "What do you mean they're in trouble?" Sora asked. "Let's go. There's no time to explain." Yeji got up and ran inside.

"Look at these fools." Jungkook said and tossed Taejoon, Yuan, Gun, Hyun and Min-Joon into the lounge. "Disappointing." Taehyung sighed and rolled up his sleeves. "And I found these three hiding behind a twig in the garden." Hosoek said and pushed Taemin, Taesung and Taewon inside. "What the heck." he sighed. "Alright. Now that all of these idiots have assembled what should we do first?" Jimin asked. "They should remember this day no matter what." Yoongi said.

"Gun, Yuan! Stand by the wall." Yu Yang shouts and the twins scramble quickly at her order. "You two are doing target practice on eachother. Make sure you don't shoot eachother. I want at least 3 bullets as close as you can to your brothers body without touching him." she said and handed them each guns from her holster. "If you hit your brothers body then I'll hit you with my kendo stick." she glared.

Yuan went first. He stared at Yoogun standing, shaking by the wall. *Bang Bang Bang* and it was done. He shot straight above his two shoulders and above his head. "Very good Yuan. Next." and they swapped positions. Yoogun trembled. He wasn't as accurate as his twin yet. *Bang* He hit next to Yuan's neck. *Bang* then next to his shoulder. _Last one_ he thought. *Bang* but he shot him in the arm. Terrified, he dropped the gun and was speechless. "Sohee, clean his wound and get the bullet out." Seohyun said. "Eomma, the bullet went straight through and landed on the floor. I'll clean the wound." she said and took him with her. *Smack* Yu Yang hit Gun across his neck, leaving a huge mark of her stick. "Don't think this wound will heal. That mark will be on your neck for the rest of your life." Yu Yang whispered in his ear.

"Min-Hun, Min-Joon. You're next." Jin shouts and cracks his neck. "Honey could you pour me some Scotch?" "Yeah, I need some too before I teach them a lesson." Taehyung said and went into their bar area behind the sofas. Jin in the meantime had already begun beating his son's up with his bare hands. He left identical bruises on there bodies and freignd to injure their face, fearing he might deform them too. He dragged them out of the way and into the elevator, taking them to their rooms. Jin was brutal but not as extreme as the rest.

Jinwoo and Hyun had each received a ringed punch on their arm from their fathers. They didn't want their son to fear them more than they already did.

"Line up!" Seohyun shouts. By this time Yuan was already bandaged up and Sohee returned. Everyone now was paying attention to the Kim brothers. "Do you want to do this, jagi?" Taehyung asked as he gulped his drink down. "You know it's only safe if you discipline them." she stared blankly as she sipped her drink.

The brothers lined up and went down on both knees. Their father, Kim Taehyung, rolled his silken sleeves up and clutched his metal baton that had Chinese engravings from the Hua sect many hundreds of years ago. He tapped the ancient arm against his hand and walked infront of them back and forth. "Do you four know how much of trouble you are in?" He asked. "Square amount?" Taewon asked. "What?" Hana giggles. *Smack* he got hit against his ribs.

"You all will never forget this pain. This lesson. Trust me, the beating that you're going to receive from me is nothing compared to if your mother had to discipline you. Take this as a taste of her anger. That doesn't mean that I'm going easy on you four, just know that." he grinned, baring his sharp teeth at them. Taemin and Taesung giggled uncontrollably. "You think it's funny?" he shouts and smacks both of them. Taejoon, however, didn't respond or flinch. His mother's child indeed. Then Taehyung began beating uncontrollably. Hitting all four of them left and right. "Jagi, that's enough." Seohyun called out. He stopped, glancing at them that lay on the floor a little distance away from his feet. "I want you four to get out of my sight." she said. They woke up slowly and limped to the elevator.

"Jooheon, next time don't be such a tattletale. Although what you did was good but don't go ratting out your Mafia in the future." Namjoon said.

"Are you ok now?" Sohee asked. "Yes, thanks to you. You have such delicate hands." he kissed her cheek and walked away. Sohee blushed. What was this that she was feeling? She couldn't stop thinking about Yuan now.

"Do you want to come? My friend is having a party next month. I really want to take you with me." "But Jisuk, I don't think my parents would let me." "Sora, come on. Don't chicken out so soon. Maybe you can sneak out?" he suggested. "I'll think about it and let you know." she smiled and cut the call.
