"I'll kill her."

"No ones killing her," Jungkook says, shooting a glare at Jin. "There's obviously a reason she's here and we won't know unless we question her."

'Who cares why she's here?" Hobi scoffs. "She obviously came back to suck your pockets dry again."

"And what if she formed an alliance with someone?" Jungkook snaps. "I have a feeling she's only a small chess piece."

"So what's the plan?" Yoongi grunts, leaning back in his chair.

"We'll figure out where she is and take her back here for questioning," Jungkook grins. "And then, the obvious. We'll kill her."

Rosie was anxious. Every step she took felt like her legs would give out on her, and her fingers were wrapped around her thumb so tightly it hurt.

Jungkook had told her he would explain everything today, but Rosie had a feeling what he would say to her. And she wasn't sure if she wanted to hear it.

"Rosie?" Ryan snaps his fingers in front of her face, causing her to retract and clutch her skirt tightly between her fingers. "Woah, sorry. You were spacing out."

"S-sorry," she stutters, flinching when a shout comes from a group of guys on the other side of the room.

"You okay?" Ryan frowns, leaning towards her.

"I just never expected to see you two together," Ryan continues. "I mean, he's a dangerous guy, Rosie. Haven't you heard the rumors? Him and that group are all part of a gang or something."

"A gang?"

"Yeah, you know like, drugs and porn stars? Stuff like that," Ryan shrugs. "I mean, no one ever really talks to them either. They're mean people."

Rosie nods hesitantly. She just kept thinking about what Ryan had told her awhile ago, and the more she did, the more it made sense that Jungkook was part of a gang.

Rosie's hands began shaking again when she made it to the lunch room, and she tightened her fingers around the handle of her lunchbox in an attempt to stop them.

"Rosie?" Jimin's voice broke her out of her trance, and she realized she had just been standing there staring at them all.

"Stay here," Jungkook mutters to the boys, standing up and grabbing her wrist.

Rosie stumbled along as Jungkook took them to the library, their little spot in the corner hiding them away from curious eyes and ears.

"Y-you're-" she stutters, causing Jungkook to turn around.

"Sit, Rosie," he orders, and she immediately plopped down onto her beanbag.

"You're... you're in a gang," she whispers through trembling lips. "Right? T-that's why someone was coming after us."

Jungkook sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. He didn't expect her to jump straight into it like this, and he really didn't want to be having this conversation now, but he knew she deserved it. He should've told her the truth a long time ago.
