Part : 09

Time skip to Next morning

Rm got ready for his work and came downstairs to find his wife as he was getting late and didn't find his gun anywhere, he looked around in living room where Jin, Suga & Jhope were enjoying their day-off as they didn't had any meeting that day, he rolled his eyes and turned to dining room where his wife was working on the laptop, he smiled and placed a quick kiss on her cheeks

Rm : Euna! Babe! I want to talk! *annoyed*

Euna didn't even look at him and simply answered as she was busy with her work

Euna : Joon! Please! I'm really busy right now--

Rm : Aish leave your work! And tell me did you see my gun? *worried*

Euna : *turned to him* What? *shocked* You lost your gun!

Rm : Shh! Don't shout! Hyungs will Kill me, just remember about last night and tell me did you see me putting my gun anywhere? *worried*

Euna : L-last night!? *blush*

Rm : Babe! I'm serious! *annoyed*

Euna : *cleared her throat* No! I didn't see it--

Rm : and Those troublemakers? Taehyan? Jaemin? *shocked* did they come in our room yesterday?

Euna : umm yeah but--

Rm : Fu*ck! Where are they?? *annoyed*

Euna: In their room--

Before she could complete the sentence, Rm run upstairs and harshly opened the kids room getting all of 4's attention

Jiwoo : Good morning! Joonie uncle! *smile*

Rm : *nervouly* Good morning! Baby! Where's your oppa?

Jiwoo : Oh! They're in bathroom! *confused*

Rm gulped and opened the bathroom door just to see Taehyan & Jaemin were playing with water, he looked around and saw his gun in the bucket

Rm widened his eyes and took out the gun, Jaemin & Taehyan looked at him and smiled

Taehyan : Uncle! Is it real? *excited*

Rm : *pout* That WAS real! *annoyed*

Jaemin : But I shoot Taehyan, it didn't work--

Rm : *sarcastic smile* Do you really think that I can put the loaded gun in my room so you guys steal it from there? Huh? *stern*

Taehyan : W-we didn't steal it--

Rm : Don't lie! And now you're gone! I'll complain to your dads! *angry*

Taehyan : *chuckled* Uncle! Why are you behaving like a nursery kid!? Just chill--

Rm : Chill? I'll take out your every chill, just wait, I'll complain to your moms!

Taehyan & Jaemin : WHAT? *shocked* s-sorry uncle--

Rm : Why? Why are you apologizing now?? After ruining my gun! *angry*

Jaemin : We can compensate! Uncle! Dad brought me new guns set, I can give you one--

Rm : *closed his eyes* arghhh! These kids!! I never get this much blackmail from Tae & Jimin! Never! they were naughty but you two are just UNBELIEVABLE! *annoyed*

He shook his head and came downstairs, walking into the living room, He paused for a moment, watching his brothers lazing around, and then let out a dramatic scoff

Jin was casually flipping through a magazine, Suga was lying on the couch with his phone, and J-Hope was snacking on chips, looking as relaxed as ever

Rm : *crossed his arms* Wow! Must be nice! *sarcastic*

Jin : *looked up* What must be nice? *confused*

Rm : THIS!! *annoyed*

RM motioned toward them and they didn't mind him

Rm : You three lying around while I, the great and overworked chairman, have to go attend a meeting with the school principal and a bunch of ministers! *angry*

Jhope : Wow, look at our little class topper, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders! *chuckled*

Suga smirked but didn’t even look up from his phone and Rm rolled his eyes

Suga : Sounds rough, but I’m on vacation mode! *relaxed*

Jin : Ooh sinful man! Don't be relax so much! Every time you say something like this and the next second we face the workload! *annoyed*

Jhope : he's true! Hyung! *annoyed*

Rm : *scoffed*You know, sometimes I wonder why I took this chairman job, I could've just joined you guys and spent my life enjoying unlimited work leaves! *annoyed*

He looked at his brothers who were laying on the couch and arguing like idle people

Jin : You took it because you wanted to be all responsible and mature! That’s what you get! *laughed*

Rm : I hate you all! *annoyed*

Jhope : Want a chip before you go suffer? *teasing*

Rm : Please leave me alone! Hyung! *annoyed*

Just as RM was about to leave, he noticed one of the guards standing at the door, looking hesitant,The guard stepped inside, giving a quick salute before speaking to Jin

Guard : Sir, there's a visitor at the entrance… He wants to meet Ms. Alice!

Jin, Suga, and J-Hope exchanged confused glances, while RM frowned his eyebrows

Rm : Alice? *confused*

That didn’t make any sense, Alice had no family left, her father and sister were long gone, No one ever came looking for her, and the few people who knew about her were within their own circle, Jin immediately sat up, his casual expression hardening to Guard

Jin : Did he say who he was? *cold*

Guard : *shook his head* No, sir! He just said he needed to talk to her, I asked for his identity, but he refused to give details!

Suga and Jin exchanged a look, one filled with silent understanding, J-Hope, who had been relaxed just moments ago, now leaned forward, his smile was completely gone

Jhope : This wasn't normal! *cold*

Suga : it's gotta be one of our enemies! *cold*

RM sighed and rubbed his temples

Rm : Why does trouble always come when I have a meeting? *annoyed*

Jin ignored him and looked at the guard

Jin : Check him completely! no weapons, no suspicious items!Then drag him inside! If he resists, shoot his leg! *cold*

The guard nodded firmly and left, while Suga pulled out his gun from under the coffee table, checking the bullets with a practiced ease, Jin did the same, loading his own gun with a click

Rm : Great! Guess I’m not leaving after all!

He loose his tie and grabbed the gun behind the TV, Jhope also took out his gun from the back pocket and looked at Suga

Jhope : If he turns out to be a problem, we’re dealing with him right here! *cold*

The guards dragged the struggling man inside, his loud protests echoing through the grand living room, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, and RM watched him with deadpan expressions, The boy, In his mid 20s, Nearly the same height as Jimin, with messy hair, wearing a black T-shirt, looks effortlessly stylish and confused

!! : Let me go! I said let me go! You have no idea who I am! *annoyed*

One of the guards had enough and swiftly taped his mouth shut, The muffled shouting continued as Naire twisted and fought against their grip, his eyes were burning with frustration

Suga stood up and pulling out his gun, He walked over, his gaze was cold as he pointed it directly at the man’s forehead

Suga : I don’t have time for games! Who the hell are you? *cold*

The man froze for a second before narrowing his eyes, He struggled to speak through the tape, making incomprehensible sounds, Jin rolled his eyes and signaled the guard to remove the tape, The moment it was pulled off, He gasped and shouted

Naire : I’m Alice’s best friend! Naire! Naire Allen! I-I just got to know that s-she's staying here! *gulped*

Suga : *raised his brow* Alice's.. What? *shocked*

Naire : Her best friend! We studied together! You know her right? Where's she? I wanna meet her! *worried*

Suga : *scoffed* Nice story! But I don't buy it! *cold*

Before he could react, Naire nervously kicked his leg up, hitting Suga’s wrist and knocking the gun slightly off balance, The gun pointed away for a split second, but before Naire could make another move, Jin raised his own gun and aimed it right at his heart

Jin : Try that again, and I’ll make sure you regret it! *cold*

Naire : O-oh sorry! *shocked*

Suga : Tch. You just made things worse for yourself! Kid! *smirk*

Suga, unfazed, dusted off his hand and scoffed whereas Rm took a step forward with his sharp gaze

Rm : How did you get our location? *Cold*

He pointed his gun on his forehead and Naire gulped hard but closed his eyes

Naire : I’ll tell you..after I see Alice! No matter what! *scared*

Suga : *scoffed* This guy seriously has a death wish! *smirk*

Jin narrowed his eyes at Naire, watching his expression carefully, he stopped Suga for a while, Suga looked at him and pointed his gun down

Jin : You say you knew Alice? Tell us about her! *cold*

Naire : *scoffed* Alice! Alice Luca! We studied together in Australia, We were in the same school, and she was my best friend, Then she suddenly left and moved to Italy, I lost contact with her after that and I don't know after that but who are you to ask me about her! *annoyed*

Jin : He’s telling the truth! *cold*

Jin glanced at Suga, and they exchanged a knowing look, Suga, however, wasn’t convinced so easily, He crossed his arms, tilting his head slightly at that boy

Suga : You studied together in school, you're best friends but in these 10 years, you didn't even try to her and now, out of nowhere, you show up at our doorstep? That’s a little suspicious, don’t you think? *cold*

Naire : *rolled his eyes* Look, I just want to meet my best friend! I don’t care who you guys are and why did you allow Alice to stay with you but I wanna meet her and If you don’t let me see her, I’ll report this to the police! *stern*

Suga let out a low chuckle, shaking his head in amusement, Then, he slowly lifted his gaze, a smirk forming on his lips, J-Hope, and RM burst into laughter at Naire’s foolish threat

Suga : Go ahead! Call them! Let’s see how that goes for you! *smirk*

Rm : Police? You want to file a complaint? Against whom? The Korean mafia king? *chuckled*

Naire blinked, realizing his mistake,His confidence wavered for a moment when he realized that the news he heard in the mafia world was true, Alice was really stuck with Korean Mafia king's family, but his eyes were still finding Alice, So many thoughts were running in his mind what if they tortured her to death? What if they already killed her? He widened his eyes and his arms were flailing as he struggled against the guards holding him

Naire : What did you guys do to Alice?! Did you kill her or what?? *angry*

The guards tightened their grip on him as he got more aggressive, trying to break free, Jin sighed, rubbing his temples, he shook his head

Jin : Did he really--

Aria : What’s with all the noise? *annoyed*

Aria appeared at the doorway, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight before her, She quickly stepped forward, placing a hand on her husband’s arm

Aria : S-suga! who is this boy, and why is he screaming? *shocked*

Suga : *smirk* Apparently, he’s Alice’s long-lost best friend! We don't know the truth but we're enjoying!

Aria : Enjoying?? *annoyed* shut up and leave him! May be he's really her friend! *worried*

Naire : Ma’am, please tell me what happened to Alice! Are these guys keeping her hostage? *worried*

Aria : *shook his head* No! Alice actually--

Before she could take another step, Suga grabbed her wrist and yanked her back

Suga : Are you dumb? What if he’s lying? What if he’s some spy? *cold*

Naire : *scoffed* Oh, please! Do I look like a spy to you? I really am Alice’s best friend! You guys are treating me like some criminal for no reason! *annoyed*

Aria : Okay, fine! Let’s confirm if he’s telling the truth! I'm calling Alice! *annoyed*

She shook her head and left to call her

Suga : If Alice says she doesn’t know him, we’re throwing him out! *cold*

Naire : I-I swear she knows me! *worried*

After a while, when Alice stepped into the living room, confusion evident on her face as she looked around, Her eyes scanned the room until they landed on a familiar figure, She froze and widened her eyes

Alice : Naire? *mumbled*

Naire turned at the sound of his name, his eyes widening as they met hers, For a moment, neither of them moved, The years apart, the distance, and the unanswered questions all seemed to fade away in that instant

Naire : Alice! *excited*

Without thinking twice, Alice ran to him, and Naire broke free from the guards’ grip just in time to catch her in a tight embrace, She clung to him, burying her face in his shoulder as tears streamed down her cheeks

Jin : Well… I guess he wasn’t lying after all! *nervously*

Suga, Jin, and RM exchanged looks, clearly uncomfortable witnessing such an emotional reunion, Alice’s eyes shimmered with emotions as she kept her hands on Naire’s arms, as if making sure he was really there

Alice : Where were you all these years? Naire! Why didn’t you contact me? I tried to find you, but it was like you disappeared! I almost gave up on ever seeing you again! Naire! Where were you? *excited*

Naire : *chuckled* Long story! Alice! I had to move around a lot, change places, and before I knew it, years had passed But no matter where I went, I never stopped searching for you And now..

He gently squeezed her hands and smiled at her

Naire : I finally found you! Alice! All okay! I'm so happy!

Alice : *smile* You have no idea how much I missed you! Naire!

Naire smiled, running a hand through his hair, Alice’s smile widened, and she let out a soft laugh looking at him, Meanwhile, the entire family was sitting there, frozen, Their jaws had practically hit the floor, Suga, who had been leaning back on the couch, sat up straight

Suga : Am I dreaming, or is Alice actually… talking this much? *shocked*

Jhope : God, I almost forgot she could talk like a normal person? *shocked*

Rm : Forget talking, hyung! she’s smiling! A full, genuine, wide smile! That’s rare! *shocked*

Aria : *chuckled* Aww, this is so cute! Look at her, she’s so happy!

Aria, who had been standing beside Suga, had her hands clasped together in delight, Alice completely unaware of the stares, kept talking excitedly to her best friend

Alice : And tell me, how did you find me? Did you have any clue where I was? Naire! And how are YOU? And what are you doing right now--

She suddenly stopped, feeling all the eyes on her, She turned her head slowly, and as soon as she saw her family’s stunned expressions, her face turned red and Her hands dropped to her sides, she looked down at the floor

Alice : I-I--

Jin : So, Alice! let me get this straight! For years, you’ve been stuttering and barely speaking more than five words in front of us But the second your best friend shows up, you’re suddenly giving monologues? *shocked*

Alice’s face turned an even darker shade of red, She quickly looked at Naire for help, but he just rubbed his head

Naire : what? You’ve been quiet all these years? That doesn’t sound like the Alice I know! *smile*

Rm : May be we don’t know her at all! *sad smile*

Alice : *shook her head* N-no oppa! Not like that--

Naire : Oppa? *confused* you completely became a Korean! *chuckled*

Alice : shut up! *embarrassed*

Naire : By the way who are these people? Alice! And why are you staying here! Weren't you in Italy?

Alice’s heart clenched at his question, she couldn’t find the words to answer, Her past was something she had buried deep inside, something she rarely spoke about, But now, standing in front of the person who had once known her better than anyone, she felt exposed, She lowered her head, biting her lips, The betrayal of her own father and her sister, who had tried to use her for power, who had seen her as nothing more than a pawn and The night Taehyung had ended it all, she couldn't tell him, Jin had been observing Alice closely, immediately understood, He sighed, running a hand through his hair before stepping forward

Jin : This is a long story! Please sit! *soft*

Naire hesitated but eventually took a seat and Jin introduced himself properly

Jin : Myself Kim SeokJin! The eldest one here! And these are my brothers! Suga! Jhope! And Rm! *he pointed at them and pointed at Aria* and she's Suga's wife, Aria! I hope you know about Alice's dad and her sister! *soft*

Naire : *scoffed and looked at Alice* yes! Where's she? I hope she end well with any boy! your sister was really a bad ass--

Alice : she died! *mumbled*

Naire : S-she died? *shocked*

Suga : *leaned forward* My brothers killed her! *cold*

Naire felt his stomach churn, He looked at Alice, expecting her to flinch, But she didn’t, Instead, she lifted her gaze and gave him a small, sad smile

Rm : She betrayed us! And we don't forgive betrayal! *cold*

Naire : A-Alice! T-they killed Maria and you're staying in their house, w-what if one day, they will kill you? *shocked* Alice--

Suga : We can never think of that! She's married to my brother! *cold*

Naire : *widened his eyes* WHAT? A-ALICE? Y-YOU'RE MARRIED? y-you? M-married! Wait! With him? *shocked*

He turned to Jin Who coughed hard and shook his head

Jin : No! I'm already married! My wife is my secretary! *annoyed*

Naire : Then? *shocked*

He turned to Rm and Jhope, they shook their head in disbelief

Rm : I'm also married and my wife is inside! *annoyed*

Jhope : me too! *annoyed* He's Taehyung who's married to Alice!

Alice : N-Naire! He's not here! *mumbled*

Naire : B-but why?? Why did you marry a mafia? *shocked* and what about your dad? *confused* Did they also--

Alice shook her head and Jin leaned forward

Jin : Alice’s father was killed by his enemies! *cold*

Naire gulped and looked at Alice

Naire : W-which type of family this is?? They're talking about murder like a movie! Alice! H-how can you.. And why the hell did you marry a mafia? *shocked* d-did he force you--

Alice : *shook her head* no naire! I love him!

Naire : Are you serious? How can you love him? *annoyed*I don’t get it! Alice! How do you,the girl who used to hate her father's mafia work, fall in love with a mafia? Like, how does that even happen? *annoyed*

Alice : Naire! It happened and why are you so shocked? I love him and we're married! *pout*

Naire : *annoyed* Fine! If you’re really in love with that mafia guy, then I want to meet him, alice! Call him here, I need to see what kind of person he is! *confused*

Alice, Jin, Suga, RM, and Aria all exchanged nervous glances, The very mention of Taehyung's name sent a shiver down their spines

Suga : Are you sure about this? Like, really sure? *raised his eyebrows*

Naire : Yeah why? *confused*

Rm : No! I mean you don't know our Tae! He actually doesn’t exactly, um… get along with other men around Alice! Don't mind! *nervously*

Naire : But I'm her best friend nothing else--

Alice : Naire! Oppa is right! I-I think you shouldn't meet him at this time, I-I mean h-he's in shower and I saw him in the morning, h-he's really in bad mood because of his one unsuccessful deal! *worried*

Naire : But Alice! I just got to know that you're married and I can't even meet your husband? *annoyed*

Suga : No you can't! And honestly you shouldn't! *Cold*

At that moment, Jimin strolled into the room, adjusting the strap of his luxury watch, He had a relaxed, confident aura, his hair slightly tousled, and he was playing with his Porsche car keys

Jimin : Hyung, I’m heading to the office now! Inaya called me as our dealers were coming! *casual*

Naire’s eyes lit up as he turned toward Jimin and Before anyone could react, Naire stood up and extended his hand for a handshake to Jimin

Naire : You must be Taehyung! Nice to meet you, man! I’m Naire, Alice’s best friend,I wanted to see what kind of mafia my best friend fell in love with! *smile*

Jin choked on his own breath, Suga clenched his fist to suppress his laughter, RM looked away, pretending to check his phone and Aria covered her mouth, trying not to scream

Jimin, completely caught off guard, blinked in confusion asNaire kept his hand extended, smiling confidently

Jimin : H-huh? *confused*

Naire : I gotta say, I imagined you to be scarier, but you actually seem kinda chill! Didn’t expect the mafia to wear a watch like that, but hey, respect, man! *smile*

Jimin : *opened his mouth slightly* W-what? Excuse me?

Alice was about to have a heart attack, she grabbed Naire’s arm and whispered frantically

Alice : Naire! That’s not T-Tae! *embarrassed* and o-oppa! He's my friend! *closed her eyes*

Naire : Wait! what? *confused* then who's he?

Jin : Jimin! One of our brothers! *scoffed*

Jimin, who had been watching the whole misunderstanding unfold with an amused smirk, suddenly froze when he heard Naire’s name, His eyes flickered with surprise as he looked at the man standing beside Alice

Jimin : You thought I was Tae? *smirk* well I'm not that rude one! *chuckled* I'm Jimin! Her cute brother-in-law! *smirk*

Naire : O-oh okay! Cool! *nervously*

Jimin : Well! I didn't know that Alice has a handsome, young and smart friend! *smile* you completely beat my brother!

Naire : w-what? *confused*

Alice : J-jimin oppa! W-What are you saying? H-he's just a duffer nothing else! And he's not even smart! *annoyed*

Naire : Alice! I was a ranker! *angry*

Jimin : Tae too! *smile* you should meet him! *smirk*

Naire : Yes! I was saying the same! *smile* I just came to know that she's married to Mr Taehyung and I really wanna meet him now--

Jimin : Tsk, tsk, tsk…! So Ready to die? Bro! *smile*

Naire : D-die? *gulped*

Alice : J-jimin oppa! W-what are you saying? *worried*

Jimin : Oh Alice, You still don’t know your husband completely, do you? *smirk*

Alice gulped and just to make things even worse, Jimin suddenly pulled Alice into a tight hug, resting his chin on top of her head with a dramatic sigh

Jimin : *chuckled* Your husband is not the type to just believe in best friends! Cherry! especially when it comes to male friends! *smirk*

He looked at Naire who was rubbing his head, Alice gulped and immediately tensed up, her heart racing as she tried to push Jimin away

Alice : Jimin oppa, stop it! You’re making it worse! *annoyed*

Jimin : *laughed* what? I'm just saying the truth! Little girl! I really feel bad for you! You don’t even know how your husband’s brain works! *shook his head*

Just as Alice looked at Jimin, Jungkook casually crossed the living room, adjusting the sleeves of his oversized hoodie,His tattoos peeked out from under the hoodie, and his sharp jawline made him look effortlessly handsome and dangerous

Jungkook : I’m going to Danish hyung's house! Hyung! I'll be late! *cold*

Naire gulped and turned to Jimin with a tensed look when Jungkook was finding his bike keys in the drawer

Naire : I-is he--

Jimin : *smirk* yeah! He's Tae! Go meet him!

He pushed Naire on Jungkook and Alice looked at Jimin in disbelief

Naire : H-hello! Mr Taehyung! N-nice to meet you! I'm Alice's.. Umm.. Friend! *nervously*

Jungkook blinked, momentarily confused, before bursting into laughter

Jungkook : Me? Taehyung hyung? *laughed* oh god! Who are you?

Naire : *gulped* so you're not Mr Taehyung? *confused* B-but you've tattoos--

Jungkook : so what? *laughed* Taehyung hyung doesn't have any tattoos! And what did you day? You're alice's friend? *shocked* really? Are you from Italy?

Naire : No! I'm from Australia! We studied together there! But who's he? Alice! *confused*

Alice : *sighed* He's jk oppa--

Jungkook : Jungkook! To be specific! I'm the youngest Brother of the family! Taehyung hyung is older than me! *smile*

Naire : O-older than you? *shocked* W-why is everyone here look so older? Alice--

Jimin : Oh excuse me? *Cold*

Naire : No! Not you! But everyone and now I'm really curious to see who's Mr Taehyung! *gulped*

Jungkook : Bro! We're not older! You're too young to become Alice's friend!

Naire : We were in same class! Bro! Even I'm 1 year older than her! *scoffed*

Jungkook : But you look like a kid! *laughed* anyways you need to meet Taehyung hyung! He's too chill person! *smirk*

Jimin : Yes! I just said to him! *smirk*

Alice : O-oppa! Please! *worried*

Taehyung : What's going on here? *cold*

Everyone stopped talking and Naire felt the shiver in his spine, he turned back to see the Real Taehyung standing there, fresh out of the shower, wearing only a pair of black trousers, his toned upper body still slightly damp, his sharp jawline and intense eyes making him look even more dangerous, when no one answered him, his dark eyes narrowed, making the atmosphere even heavier, He slowly turned to Alice who was looking down all the time

Taehyung : I couldn’t find my white shirt and I'm calling you since 10 minutes! *cold*

Alice : O-oh! I-I didn't hear your voice! T-tae! *looked down*

Taehyung : *nodded* It's okay! Now go and bring it for me!

Alice nodded and walked towards their room leaving Naire with her actual husband and when Naire confirmed that he's real Kim Taehyung, he tried to start the conversation but Taehyung sighed and walked towards the couch, sitting down as if nothing had happened, He leaned back comfortably, resting an arm on the back of the couch, Jimin, Rm & Jungkook also settled down to see the drama who were going out

Taehyung : So who's this boy? Hyung! *cold*

Jin coughed hard and turned to Suga but he immediately looked away, indicating that he won't say anything in this matter, Jin glared at him and nervously turned to Taehyung

Jin : Ask him directly! Tae! After all he wanted to meet you! *nervously*

Taehyung turned to Naire and tilted his face

Taehyung : Want to meet me? Who are you? *cold*

Naire : *cleared his throat* umm myself Naire! Naire allen! Alice's bestfriend! *nervously*

He smiled at Taehyung and now everyone's face turned to Taehyung, watching closely to see Taehyung's reaction as They knew how possessive he was when it came to Alice

Taehyung’s sharp eyes locked onto Naire, scanning him from head to toe, He tilted his head slightly, as if analyzing whether he wanted to deal with him or eliminate him

Taehyung : What did you say? *cold*

Jungkook : I bet Taehyung hyung will beat him right here! *mumbled*

Jimin : let's see! *smirk*

Naire : *cleared his throat* I'm Naire! Alice's best friend! *nervously*

Taehyung leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, and chuckled, a deep, knowing laugh that sent a chill down Naire’s spine

Taehyung : Alice's best friend? *chuckled*

Naire : *gulped and nodded* Y-yes! We were school best friends--

Taehyung : Were? So, you aren’t anymore! right? *smile*

Naire : N-no! I mean… we are! I just lost contact with her for a few years, but--

Taehyung : Few years? *scoffed & smirked*

He sat back against the couch, crossing one leg over the other, and exhaled dramatically

Taehyung : Tsk. You really must not have been that important to her then! *smirk*

Jimin and Jungkook stopped their laughter, sensing the possessiveness seeping into Taehyung’s tone

Naire : That’s not true! Alice tried to find me--

Taehyung : *smirk* Oh!! Did she? Because for the past six years, she has been too busy being my wife, sleeping in my bed, cooking for me, taking care of me… oh, and did I mention? She doesn’t even step out of this house without me knowing where she is! *smirk*

Naire's fists tightened more as he felt so humiliated in front of her best friend's husband who was flexing on her love who's his best friend and the most innocent girl he ever met, before he could say anything , Alice came there with his shirt

Alice : T-Tae! Here it is! *soft*

Alice walked in, holding Taehyung’s white shirt in her hands, her steps careful as she approached him, Taehyung looked at his wife and stood up from the couch, towering over her effortlessly, Without taking his eyes off Naire, he extended his arms slightly

Taehyung : Button it for me! *smirk*

Alice gulped, She hesitated for a second, her fingers gripping the shirt as she tiptoed to reach his chest, Even on her toes, she barely made it, Taehyung smirked and, without warning, pulled her closer by the waist, Alice gasped, her hands landing on his chest for balance

Alice : T-Tae! *embarrassed*

Taehyung : button it fast! Baby! *soft*

Alice nodded and Jungkook and Jimin exchanged glances, holding back their laughter They knew exactly what Taehyung was doing, When Alice finished the last button, she started to take a step back, but Taehyung didn’t let go of her waist just yet, Instead, he brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear and looked at Naire

Taehyung : where's our daughter? Alice! *soft*

Naire was already struggling to keep his expression neutral, suddenly froze, He shot up from the couch and his eyes darted between Alice and Taehyung in pure shock, Taehyung’s smirk widened as he let Alice go and sat back on the couch like a king, He leaned back, crossing his arms to see the drama

Naire : A DAUGHTER? ALICE! REALLY? *shocked* YOU'VE A DAUGHTER?

Jimin : Umm Mr Allen! They actually have three kids! For your kind information! *smile*

Naire choked on air and Jimin turned his face away, trying not to burst out laughing, Jungkook bit his lip to suppress a laugh, Naire’s mouth opened and closed like a fish

Naire : T-three kids? *shocked* T-three?? Kids?? Alice!! When were you going to tell me?

Alice : *nervously* N-naire! I was going to--

Alice awkwardly looked down, playing with her fingers when Taehyung leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees

Taehyung : What? *gasped dramatically* You thought she’d wait for you all these years? She became my wife, and we didn’t exactly waste time you know! *smirk*

Jimin : Damn, Tae! You work fast! *smirk*

Taehyung : of course! *smirk* I’m a responsible husband you know!

Naire turned pale, His brain was failing to process, he clenched his fists, He wanted to say something, anything, but what could he even say? His best friend,the girl he thought he knew so well, was married to a mafia and had three kids? This was not how he imagined their reunion going

Alice : N-Naire! I'm sorry, I--

Naire : *shook his head and smiled* it's okay! Alice! You don't need to say sorry! I was the one who wasn't there for you!

Alice shook her head and Naire looked at Taehyung, Naire didn't get offended by Taehyung’s possessiveness , he understood it in a minute, In fact, he smirked, realizing that the so called dangerous mafia was actually burning with jealousy and that's why he doing this stuff

Without breaking eye contact with Taehyung, Naire reached into his bag and pulled out a small, neatly wrapped gift

Naire : Alice! *soft* I’ve missed you a lot these years! *smile*

He gently put the gift in her hands and she looked at him

Alice : you..missed me? *blinked*

Naire : *nodded* This is your gift that I bought when I came to know that you're here in Korea and living with a mafia family, so I got scared for you and quickly came here thinking that I'd take you back but.. Seems like you already have a family here! *chuckled*

Alice’s eyes welled up, The weight of those lost years, the memories they couldn’t share, and the struggles they had both faced, it all crashed down on her at once, Before she could stop herself, she stepped forward and hugged him, Taehyung clenched his jaw,His grip on the couch tightened, but he didn’t move, He could see the rare smile on Alice’s face,the way her body relaxed, the way her eyes sparkled with emotion And no matter how much it made his blood boil, he couldn’t bring himself to stop her

Taehyan : Mumma! *whined*

Alice quickly broke the hug when two small figures rushed into the room, Naire’s eyes widened as he saw the twin boys standing in front of him for the first time, They looked identical but their expressions were completely different, Naire turned to Taehyung and looked at kids back

Naire : A-are they your kids? Alice! *Shocked*

Taehyung : What do you think? *Cold*

Naire : Of course yours! They look like you! *annoyed*

Taehyung : Then? *rolled his eyes*

Alice ruffled Taehyan's hands and smiled

Alice : what happened? Baby! *soft*

Taehyan : Mumma! He's annoying me! Can't you keep him with you? *annoyed*

Taewon : What? But--

Taehyan : No buts! Leave me alone please! *angry*

Naire : *smile* Alice! He's just like you!

He ruffled Taehyan's hairs and he took a step back,with a mischievous glint in his eyes, folded his arms and tilted his head

Taehyan : Who are you? Uncle! And how did you touch my hairs? *angry*

Naire : *nervously* O-oh! I'm so sorry! Kid--

Jimin : Taehyan is like his father! Boy! *laughed* sorry but you need to careful with him! The naughty, sarcastic, troublemaking one? That’s literally his dad! *smirk*

Naire : *shook his head* I don’t know about that… but I remember Alice being the most mischievous girl back in school. She was always playing pranks, sneaking out of class, and causing chaos! *smile*

Jungkook & Jimin looked at each other and widened their eyes

Jimin : Alice? And naughty? *shocked*

Alice : T-That was years ago! Naire! I’m not like that anymore! *embarrassed*

Taehyung's grip tightened and he stood up from his couch, glaring at Naire

Taehyung : Alice! Go, bring my car keys! I'm getting late for my meeting! *cold*

Alice : O-oh okay! Taehyan! Taewon! Come with me! *smile*

Alice quickly stood up after Taehyung’s words, ready to fetch his car keys, but Naire’s glare sharpened as he turned to Taehyung

Naire : She’s your wife, not your servant! Mr Taehyung! You could ask her nicely instead of just ordering her around! *angry*

Jimin and Jungkook, who had been enjoying the banter earlier, suddenly sat up straighter, sensing the fight, Taehyung, who had been calmly adjusting his shirt cuffs, slowly lifted his head, His dark, cold gaze locked onto Naire, and the smirk that had been playing on his lips vanished

Taehyung : *scoffed* And who exactly do you think you are to lecture me? *cold*

Naire : I’m her best friend, Someone who actually cares about her! Unlike you, who thinks he can just use his fingers, and she’ll run to do whatever you say! *angry*

Jimin : *cleared his throat* L-look. he's not--

Naire : it's between me & Mr Taehyung, Sir! *cold*

He turned back to Taehyung and glared at him

Naire : Just because she doesn’t have family anymore, doesn’t mean she’s alone! I’m still here for her! *cold*

Taehyung clenched his jaw, stepping forward, closing the space between them, His tall frame towered over Naire, his sharp features hardening as he glared down at him

Taehyung : Be careful with your words! Boy! You’re in my house, talking about my wife! *cold*

Naire scoffed, refusing to be intimidated, he crossed his arms

Naire : Then act like a husband instead of a mafia barking orders, She’s not just your wife, she’s a person! And my bestfriend! She deserves respect! *cold*

Jimin and Jungkook exchanged glances, their eyes widening, They had never seen someone talk to Taehyung like this, everyone looked down as they never said anything about this to Taehyung

Taehyung took another step closer to Naire, his gaze darkening even more when Alice came there with a smile but gulped when she saw Taehyung's anger

Alice : T-tae! *shocked*

Taehyung : *To Naire* I don’t fuking need to explain my relationship with my wife to you! *gritted his teeth* Who the hell are you to advise me? *angry*

Naire : *smirk* Sounds like you’re scared of losing her--

Taehyung let out a cold chuckle, his hands balling into fists at his sides

Taehyung : *chuckled* You’re mistaken! Bro! She’s mine, has been for years, You think your sudden appearance changes that? *angry*

Naire : *smile* I think it reminds her she still has people who actually care about her happiness, not just ownership! *smirk*

Alice could feel the tension rising dangerously between them, She quickly stepped between them, pressing her hands against Taehyung’s chest to stop him from moving forward

Alice : T-Tae stop it! *to Jin* O-oppa! Please

Jin : y-yeah! Tae! *angry* move back!

Taehyung’s gaze flickered down as his brother command him, and for a second, his hardened expression softened slightly, But the moment was short-lived as he looked back up at Naire

Taehyung : You’re crossing the line, Naire Allen! Don’t forget where you are and who you’re talking to! *cold*

Naire : I haven’t forgotten But have you forgotten who she is? Because from where I’m standing, you don’t treat her like a wife, You treat her like a possession! *cold*

Jimin and Jungkook didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, Alice, feeling the situation spiraling out of control, quickly grabbed Taehyung’s hand

Alice : T-Tae! Y-you're getting late! *scared*

she reminded him, trying to pull him away, Taehyung didn’t budge for a moment, his eyes still locked onto Naire’s, Then, exhaling sharply through his nose, he finally turned away

Taehyung : Alice. Keys. Now.! *cold*

he ordered, his tone still rough but controlled, Alice hesitantly put the keys in his hands and Taehyung turned his head slightly towards Naire

Taehyung : You may be her best friend, but I’m her husband! Remember that! *cold*

With that, he walked off, leaving Naire standing there, Alice stood frozen for a moment, staring at the door he had just walked through, Her stomach twisted in worry, She knew how Taehyung was when he was angry, He wasn’t the kind of man to let things go easily, and now that his jealousy had been triggered, she could only imagine what kind of chaos he would unleash at the office, Her hands clenched into small fists as she turned towards Jimin

Alice : O-oppa! P-please go after him, You know how he gets when he’s in a bad mood, What if he takes it out on someone at work! *worried*

Jimin : *nodded* Don’t worry, Alice! I’ll handle him! Just don’t let your best friend here cause any more trouble while I’m gone! *chuckled*

He threw a pointed look at Naire before walking out, leaving Alice with the others, As soon as the door shut, Alice whipped around to Naire, her face turning red with frustration

Alice : You! This is all your fault! Naire! *angry*

Naire : *blinked* Huh? What did I do?

Alice : What did you do! Huh? *angry*

Before Naire could respond, Alice started hitting him not hard, but fast and playfully, her small fists thudding against his arms and chest

Alice : Did you have to provoke him like that? Did you have to create such a big scene in front of everyone?? Huh? *angry*

Naire : Okay, okay! I get it! Stop attacking me, Alice! *annoyed*

Alice : You. are. the. worst. best. friend. ever. !!!! *angry*

Naire : Come on, Alice, you know I was just testing him! *annoyed*

Alice stopped hitting him just long enough to glare

Alice : Testing him? Are you insane? You don't know anything about my husband! *angry*

Naire : But I know about you! How can he talk to you like that--

Alice : it's between us! Naire! Stop it! *angry*

Naire : *gasped* between you? Alice! I literally came to Korea just to find you and you're--

Alice : No matter how much I missed you but you'd wrong! Naire! You don't know him! *angry*

Naire : Fine! I'll apologize to him! Now please stop hitting me! *annoyed*

Alice stopped but still glared at him

Jungkook : *shocked* Damn, I wish Jimin hyung had stayed a little longer to see this, she has officially lost it! *gulped*

Suga : she's violent! *shocked* what's happening?

Jin : S-she can fight? *gulped* Tae never say anything about that! *shocked*

Rm : *gulped* I don't think Tae knows about it! Hyung!

Aria : True! *shocked*

Meanwhile, somewhere across the road, Taehyung was sitting in his car, gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white, still fuming about the so-called best friend he had just met And deep inside, he knew one thing for sure he hated Naire
