[Y/N POV]

"Welcome to Kim's residence." Taehyung opens his arms out and cheered so warmly as we walked inside his apartment.

The ceiling was so high up as it looks like the apartment is a penthouse instead, the pieces of furniture were really modern with a combination of antique and modern.

The walls were white, and a few decorations hanging on the walls, adding the minimalistic feel.

"You live here alone?" I asked as I watch all his maids carrying his bags to his room.

"Well yeah, I didn't want my sister staying with me." He crossed his arms and flops onto the sofa.

"The place is so huge! It can definitely fit the whole gang here." I joked and he responded with a soft chuckle.

"You can admire the place later, help me rearrange my stuff." He said, standing up on his two feet and walk around the sofa to the stairs.

"What? I'm not helping you with that. I'm gonna sit here, and continue to admire your place, thank you." I sat down on the single seat sofa.

"Well, I'll be right back. Make yourself at home." He left upstairs to continue unpacking.

My ears heard his footsteps getting further away from me, I let out a sigh as I lean back onto the sofa.

"Hello, Miss?" A maid appeared.

"Oh! Hi." I quickly fix myself.

"Do you want any drinks?" She asked politely since I'm a guest.

"A water should be fine, do you mind if I look around?" I said and she nodded before leaving to make my water.

I walk towards the small statue above the fireplace. There were a tiger, a bird and a bear. Just a miniature statue, nothing to brag about but they are clearly made of gold.

Some used candles are placed beside the fireplace with a lantern. Then my eyes reached the shelves.

The books were arranged properly and straight and some tiny decorations were on it as well. But there was a frame, a picture frame of a family.

I noticed it was a young looking Taehyung and his sister alongside with their parents, I assumed.

"That is Mr. Taehyung's family photo. Taken years ago before they left." His maid appeared after placing down the glass on the table.

"Left?" I look back at the picture.

"The Kim family used to be a very poor family, it was hard to find food and mostly to maintain their survival. Until Mr. Kim sold his first ever handmade clothes in Daegu. That land was crowded by farmers and because of Mr. Kim, the whole village looks up to him."

"And why is he staying here alone?" I asked as she was about to answer, Taehyung's voice broke our one on one conversation.

"Because I need to."

His voice startled both me and his maid.

"You may go." He hinted to his maid and she left to the kitchen.

I watched her disappeared to the corner and my eyes went back to meet his.

"Is it because of the job?" I asked, talking about his gang status.

"Mostly that, and also to avoid them from getting harm. My sister is staying somewhere else, hoping no one would find her while she works as a doctor."
