Third Person POV

"Finally." Yoongi utters when Jeongguk and Taehyung walk inside the mansion. They all were waiting for them to just get the fuck out of the car and tell them what the hell happened back in the gathering.

"Sorry." Taehyung says sheepishly. "We got a bit carried away."

"We are in a fucking crisis over not knowing if Taehyung got anything from there and you both were---". Yoongi stops and looks away.

"Just tell us what happened? Taehyung walked out of there with nothing! No file, device or even a fucking paper." Hoseok exclaims.

Taehyung is sprawled on the couch, right next to Yoongi who moves away, makes a face at Taehyung and then looks at Jeongguk for explanation.

"Well his phone couldn't be hacked because the security was a high maintenance." Jeongguk says, sits on the couch opposite to Yoongi and Taehyung's.

"It wasn't even necessary though." Jeongguk says and Taehyung chuckles, his head touching side of Yoongi's thigh and the older wants to smack him.

"Taehyung sent me everything." Jeongguk says and they all look at him in confusion except Taehyung.

"Sent you? On your phone?" Yugyeom asks. Jeongguk nods.

"The first thing he sent me was his picture with Kyungmin passed out behind him." Jeongguk says, places his phone on the table and everyone look.

"Taehyung will tell you the rest." Jeongguk says and Taehyung was yawning, pouts a little and sighs.

"I sent the details and pictures to Jeongguk's number and then deleted everything from Kyungmin's device. Basically restarted it new and there's nothing in there now." Taehyung says.

"That's it? That easy?" Hoseok utters.

"Taking the device would've been a hassle. I remember only two numbers and sent the details there." Taehyung shrugs.

"By the way it's just the half here." Taehyung points at Jeongguk's phone. The mafia boss frowns.

"The rest?" He asks.

"Seokjin hyung's phone." Taehyung says. He knew, Seokjin knew it as well as he was actually standing just at the hall's entrance with his phone in his hand.

Taehyung texted him, if he's okay because he's going to be dramatic and Seokjin sent a laughing emoji, said yes and prepared. Deleted the texts then.

Silence falls. Deadly one.

Jeongguk's looking at him with utter blank eyes that slowly fill with a silent rage. A calm rage. The one which is most dangerous one.

Namjoon looks at Seokjin, worry etched in his eyes for his lover and Seokjin simply nods at him in assurance.

"Call him." Jeongguk says with a tilt towards whoever was on his right side, Eunwoo. He was going to call Seokjin who was already walking inside the hall.

Taehyung was no longer lying on the couch rather sitting but his back leaned back, shoulder touching Yoongi's and the older doesn't push him away. Their eyes on Jeongguk. Everyone's.

And Jeongguk's eyes are on Taehyung who's giving him an equally challenging look that rivals his own.

Jeongguk gets up and his gaze leaves Taehyung's, focuses on Seokjin who has his head lowered, phone in his hand.
