Chapter 5: Chapter — 5
Either way...
We were about to remind Kai exactly who he was messing with.

Y/n's POV :
I sat curled up on the couch, hugging my knees tightly to my chest. Fear bubbled inside me—not just from Suga's earlier tone, but from the mission itself. This wasn't like any other. It felt dangerous... heavier. I had overheard every single word from the meeting room, yet my heart refused to calm down.
My mind was a mess—creating horrible what-if scenarios one after the other. I didn't want to imagine losing anyone…
After a while, the door to the meeting room creaked open. Everyone stepped out with purpose in their steps.
Jungkook and Taehyung headed to the weapon room, Jimin and Hobi went to grab clothes and a first aid kit.
Jin, Suga, and Namjoon walked toward me and sat on the couch in front of me.

Jin: (sighs) "Princess… we can't take you on this mission. It's too risky and dangerous for you."
Y/n: "Oppa, it's risky and dangerous for me, but not for you?"
Jin: "Kai's expecting you to be there. He'll try to hurt you and use you against us. We can't take that chance."
RM: "Jin's right, Princess. You're our only weakness. Everyone knows that."
Y/n: "Okay, Oppa... but please promise me you'll all come back safe."
Jin & RM: "We promise, Princess."
Suga: "Kitty... if you feel even slightly off or something happens behind our backs, just call us. One call. Got it?"
Y/n: (hesitates) "O... Okay, Oppa."
Suga: "That's my kitty." (smirks softly)

Jimin: "Hyung, I've got the first aid."
J-Hope: "And I grabbed extra clothes for all of us."
Jin: "Good job. Now go load them in the car. I'll double-check the cameras and make sure the maids are secured."
Everyone except Y/n: "Okay, Jin."
RM: "Let's go before it gets too late."
Jungkook: "Hyung, we've got the weapons. Fully loaded."
Jin: "Good. Give one to Y/n—for safety."
(V gently handed Y/n a small weapon, then leaned down and kissed her forehead.)
Y/n: "Good luck, Oppa... and make sure he never dares to think of revenge again."
Everyone except Y/n: "Yes, Princess! Your wish is our command. Take care... and don't mess around with the gun. It's only for emergencies, alright?"
Y/n: "Okay, Oppa. Now go."

[ SECTOR 7 – MISSION START ]
RM: "Hobi, track the exact location where they're waiting."
J-Hope: "Give me a sec, Hyung…"
RM: "Make it quick. Jimin, check for any weaknesses."
Jimin: "On it, Hyung."
J-Hope: "Got it! There's a large number of men near the main entrance. They probably think we'll barge in from there."
RM: "Perfect. V, Jungkook — take out the outer guards silently. No guns. Use hands and swords to avoid noise. Jin, snipe any runners from the back. I'll jam their phones so they can't call for backup. Once that's done, Suga, Jimin, Hobi and I will make our move."
Jungkook: "Solid plan. Once V hyung and I are done, we'll join you right away."
Jin: "Don't forget to carry hidden weapons. Just in case."
Everyone except Jin: "Got it, Hyung!"

[After Everyone Says Goodbye and Leaves]
Y/n's POV:
The front door closed with a soft click... and just like that, the house felt empty.
Too quiet.
I stood there for a moment, clutching the small weapon V had handed me. It felt heavier than it looked… or maybe it was the weight of fear sitting in my chest.
I walked slowly toward the window, peeking through the curtains. Their black SUV had just rolled out of the driveway. I could still see Jungkook glancing back through the window, like he was silently saying, "We got this."
But something about this mission felt different.
Darker.
More dangerous.
Suddenly, a soft vibration buzzed in my hoodie pocket. I pulled out my phone.
A message popped up:
"Cameras activated. Lock all doors. Stay hidden. - Jin"
I quickly moved through the house, locking each door and double-checking windows like Jin had taught me. I turned on the security app and watched as the live feed from every camera showed up.
Still, no matter how many times I checked… my hands wouldn't stop trembling.
I sat back down on the couch, curled up again just like before.
Y/n (soft whisper):
"Please come back to me… all of you."
Right then, I heard the soft ding of a voice note.
It was from Suga.
I quickly pressed play.
Suga (in the audio):
"Kitty, I know you're probably freaking out and imagining a hundred disaster movies in your head right now. But don't. Breathe. I'll be back before you even finish your cup of hot chocolate. Don't cry, hmm? I'll punch Kai just for making you worry. That's a promise. Stay safe. One call, remember?"
I smiled through the tear that slipped down my cheek.
He always knew how to calm me… even when he wasn't here.
