Jimin took Seokjin to his apartment tonight. Letting the drunk man sleep away on his bed as he got onto his computer, and closed the shades. The only light in the room was the fluorescent lights faint around the room and his computer monitor.

Jimin bit his lip, typing away on the keyboard. He searched for the woman's identity through police department files - the woman working for Taehyung and had connections with the West Gang.

"... Yeah, yeah," Jimin murmurs to himself, "... There's no way they got those somewhere else. They have to be from his wife's share... These are the exact serial codes from years ago."

He pulled up a tab and took note of her identity. Frowning in concentration. "... She's worked with us since they separated, got speeding tickets in Brazil, minor drug felony- wait, Brazil?"

Jimin pursed his lips. "... Taehyung's wife fled there first, yeah... I remember," he mumbles, "... No wonder, she still has connections with her..."

"Why did she stay..."

Jimin moves to his other computer monitor to pull up several security cameras — different locations. He moved the ones that monitored his front door, and observed the ones monitoring Taehyung's household. Of course, the man didn't know Jimin was able to watch through the cameras set around his home.

Jimin reared his chin on his palm, watching the entrance in the recording being heavily guarded by men — which was unusual. He knew Taehyung only let two bodyguards watch the gates, but there was more than usual. They were heavily protected, noticing bulletproof vests he'd not seen before.

The West Gang had bulletproof vests.

Jimin presses the rewind button frantically. His eyes widening at the recording; the same woman came to the front door, knocking till a maid opened it and greeted the woman. The two guards suddenly opened fire in panic behind the woman, watching her kill the maid and kick the front door wide open with a dozen gang members piling behind her. Rewinding more, Taehyung left the house with Bennie and Namjoon before she came.

Jimin got up from his seat and searched for his phone around the room. Grabbing his phone off the nightstand with urgency, he speed dials Taehyung's number.

He paces around the room, biting his thumb. Checking the time, it was late. After a few rings, Taehyung answered.

"... Hello?"

"Taehyung, Taehyung," Jimin warily spoke fast, "... Where are you right now?"

"I'm on my way home with Jangmi, why? Is there an issue-"

"No!" Jimin shouts before pursing his lips, "Don't... Don't come home. Stop the car, I'm coming over."

"... We're almost home, Jimin. It shouldn't be that urgent."

"I'm fucking serious, tell Bennie to stop the car right now!" Jimin grabbed his car keys, and fled out the bedroom. Rushing to put on his shoes. "Your ex isn't finished with us yet, she never was. You have to listen to-"

"Jimin, you need to calm down. Come talk to me tomorrow morning, I'm tired-"

"Papa!" The last thing from the call was Jangmi's terrified scream and a beep to indicate the call was over.

"Taehyung? Taehyung!" Jimin yelled, bolting out the front door. "Goddammit!"
