**Jungkook's POV**

It has been a week since I last saw Eun Sol. I was missing her so badly. I had learnt how to shop for vegetables and look after the shop. Mrs. Park could easily leave the shop in my hands now. Come on! I have been working here for more than fifteen days now!!

I call her whenever I was free and asked her to meet me. But she came rarely because she was working on so many things together. She told me how they were going ahead with the plan very carefully and every mission was accomplished with ease. Today she told me that the party which was supposed to be held two days back would be held today. I was a little tensed about what would happen because I was not there with her. But I trust my hyungs, they will take care of her for sure! Especially Tae-hyung and Jimin-hyung.

I called for the fifth time in the day. It was like 7 pm or something.

"Are you leaving?" I asked her. 
"yup..." she answered. Her voice was soft. 
"What happened? Are you nervous?" 
"Kinda... I am scared of your uncle and your cousin."
"Who all are going with you?"
"Uh... Jimin, Jin and Hoseok oppa."
"Good. Don't you take Taehyung anywhere... My uncle and Sang Bin especially will recognize him immediately."
"Yeah... he told us about it..."
"Text me when you reach there. OK?"
"Hmm..."

There was silence. I could feel the nervousness she was going through that moment.

"Kookie..." 
"I am here..."
"I love you."
I smiled, "I love you too..."
"I love you three..."
"I love you infinity..." I laughed.
"I'll love you till the end of this world..." She laughed.
"Don't be so nervous..."
"I am because you are not here..."
"I know... I am nervous too..."
"How is the shop by the way?"
"Our sales are going pretty high!"
"Yeah if the CEO of such a great company is selling gimbap, japchae, samgyeopsal(pork), hanwoo(beef), jjangmyeon(black bean noodles), ramyeon and what not, is a sight of pleasure..."
"You have the menu learned?"
"Isn't it too late for you to realize that I am the daughter of the owner of the shop."
"And I am the son in law...? We added new elements to the menu..."
"Really??"
"Hmm... we serve crushed ice as well... and lots of seafood!"
"WOW! Who came up with the idea??"
"The son-in-law..."
"I am impressed Jeon Jungkook!!!"
"I know right!!"
"As soon as I finish with this , I am coming right there, prepare a crushed ice for me... OK?"
"With pleasure madam..."
"YAH! OPPA!!" I heard her exclaim suddenly.

"YAH JEON JUNGKOOK!!" I heard Jimin hyung. 
"WASSUP HYUNG???" 
"I AM HANGING UP... WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW!"
"ARASEEOOO!!"

Only then the call was disconnected.

I held onto my apron as I smiled at the phone. I looked at the contact name-

Solie<3.

I looked at one of our pictures together and hugged my phone as I thought, "You will do well Eun Sol... don't worry!"

**Park Eun Sol's POV**

I stepped out of the car and looked at the great preparation of the gala party of Jeon Enterprises sudden (fake) success, after leaving a text to Kookie.

I looked at all the oppas who accompanied me. Jin oppa patted my waist and said, "Everything will be alright!" (Baby! Just don't give a damn~~ OK sorry, I got diverted while writing)

I nodded at him with a smile on my face.

We walked into the hall where the party was taking place.

I was greeted by so many guests, reporters and what not. Drinks, garlands, everything except food. I don't know why highly guests like us never got enough to eat in such parties. Figures, it would make them look inferior. But food is food!!

"Ms. Soo!!" Sang Bin was so overjoyed to meet me. He greeted me with a hug instead of a handshake. I was frozen at the spot.

Someone other than Jungkook hugged me. Someone other than him. My mind was alert at that moment. I looked at the three of them who stared him so hard that it seemed as if they were ready to eat him up with those stares. I gave an awkward laugh.

I looked at Mr. Jeon approach us. "Ms. Soo! They woman of the party has arrived!"

I smiled.

The three of them bowed down, respectfully. Suddenly I missed the other three as well. They must have reached Jeon Enterprises to get the documents by now.

"I should introduce them to you!" I exclaimed.

"This is Mr. Cha, he is my lawyer." I pointed at Jin oppa. Mr. Jeon shook hands with him.

"... and this the treasurer of MOI... Mr. Woo" I pointed at Hoseok oppa. Mr. Jeon greeted him as well.

"Welcome to the party..." Sang Bin said.

"Mr. Cha would like to speak to you about some things in the agreement..." I told Mr. Jeon.

"Oh! No Problem at all!!" Mr. Jeon walked away with Mr. Cha, sorry, Jin oppa.

"Ms. Soo..." Sang Bin told me. "I have some things to show you. Please come with me."

"I..." I looked at the both of them and nodded at them, "Please enjoy in the party..."
They bowed down and I looked at Jimin oppa. He winked me. I smiled and then walked with Sang Bin across the room.

The wink meant that 'I am around you... don't worry... you'll be safe.'

"So, would you mind me asking you your age?" Sang Bin said.

"Uh... well, I am 26." I lied.

Barely 21. I thought.

"26! I am younger to you then! I am 25." He said.

"Oh!" I laughed.

"Champagne?" He offered me the glass.

"Sure!" I took the glass from him. I drunk a sip from the glass.

"You are very young a Chairman, actually..."

"Yes, I am because my father died at an early age... so I had to take over the company."

"Oh..." He was shocked.

I barely drank from my glass because you all know- I AM NOT GOOD AT DRINKS. But Sang Bin drank a lot. It would have been better if he were to be born in Rhineland, so he would have grown up drinking Rhenish wine and ultimately turn out to be a drunkard.

An hour later.

"I now call upon Ms. Soo the Chair-woman of MOI..." Mr. Jeon invited me on the stage. I walked up to the lectern and looked at the three of my known people scattered in the crowd. I was nervous. I never had a stage fear... but today was different. I closed my eyes and opened the slowly after taking three long breaths. I looked up and I saw Jungkook standing in the middle of the totally empty hallroom. He held a glass of champagne and his left hand was in his pocket. He raised his glass and pointed at me as he smirked.

God, I missed him so much.

He smiled widely and winked at me.

"I cannot do this!!!!" I said slapping the paper in the middle of the class. The teacher looked at me confused.

"What is wrong Eun Sol?" My math teacher asked me. "Are you having a problem solving the sum?"

That is when I realized that I had that aloud. It was supposed to be in my mind. I was flustered. I looked at the rest of the class- which consisted of the Bangtan scholars only. I smiled at the teacher, "Jeoseonghabnida seonsaengim!!(I am so sorry teacher) I exclaimed out unknowingly."

"Huh?" Hoseok sunbae peeped into my desk. He took away the paper which I had slapped and read the paper, "Solo Singing Competition? Eun Sol-ah you took part in this without telling us about it?"

"YAH! SUNBAEE!" I tried grabbing the paper from him.

"WHAT? YOU ARE TAKING PART IN THAT?" Namjoon sunbae asked.

"YOU NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT CONSULTING US?" Taehyung sunbae asked.

"WHO IS MAKING THE MUSIC?" Yoongi sunbae asked.

"ANI~ YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD US~!" Jin sunbae shouted on me.

"ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO SING?" Jimin sunbae asked me.

Jungkook sunbae looked at me and did not say anything. They all created a commotion in the classroom of eight.

"Calm down everyone!" The teacher said. "... and Eun Sol... what is this? Why are you doing something else in the Math class? Do you want to be punished?"

"Sorry sir! But I swear I was doing all the sums!!" I said. "I'll not repeat this mistake ever again!"

I bowed down.

"Okay, sit down... and bring me your copy at the end of the period. And prepare well for the competition, we need the scholar group to earn a point in this and win the league..."

"Ne," I said and took my seat.

***

Nothing could be worse than the seven of them sitting in front of me for an explanation.

"I'll go and remove my name!" I said standing up.

"Are you mad? Did you not hear sir?" Hoseok sunbae held my hand. I sat down and faced them again.

Silence.

"What are you singing?" Yoongi sunbae asked.

"I don't know..."

"What do you mean? The competition is in three days and you don't know what are you singing?" Taehyung sunbae revolted.

"Ani... I have prepared..."

"Let us hear you then!!" Jin sunbae said.

"I-uh..." I hesitated as I blushed a little. I looked at them and smiled.

I closed my eyes, took three long breaths and opened my eyes slowly to face the entire audience staring at me, waiting for me to star the song. I remembered the amount of practice I had with my sunbaes for this competition.

I found Jungkook sunbae stand up and leave the auditorium. I smiled at that action. Because he knew very well that I would screw up in front of him. I started singing,

"Lately I have been thinking..."

Yoongi sunbae played the piano like a pro.

"I wish that I could give you what you deserve...
Cause nothing can ever... ever replace you....
Nothing can make me feel like you do..."

I closed my eyes and then opened it slowly before I started the chorus. I found Jungkook sunbae standing in the middle of the entire auditorium which was completely empty, standing with his hands in his pockets.

"There is nothing like us...
There is nothing like you and me...
Together through the storm..."

He smiled at me and I returned a smile.

"Success comes in threes... hard work, will-power, and self-confidence..." I said as I recovered from the sudden flow of memories of my first Solo Singing Competition where I stood first because people had forgotten to clap for me because they were too absorbed into the song.

I gave them a very satisfying and long speech which was again applauded after a while because they were too shaken by it.

"That was an awesome speech!!" Sang Bin shook hands with me.

"I was born an orator..." I smiled.

"Let us catch some air..." He suggested and we walked out of the hall room and signaled Jimin oppa at the right moment.

We walked into the elevator and we went to the topmost floor.

He signaled me to move out of the elevator first. I smiled and walked out. I was impressed by the view. It would have been so better to see this scene with Jungkook. I thought as I inhaled the air.

I felt a little weird and my heart trembled a little when the cold air hit my skin. I looked at Sang Bin who lead me to a very pretty tent which had a cute-comfy bed and seemed like a secret hideout of a very lazy fellow. I clicked the ball-point pen which was attached to my bra-strap.

From now onwards, everything will be recorded here. I thought.

I gulped and looked at Sang Bin, "It's so pretty!"

"Yes, it is..." He replied and stepped into the tent along with me. "It is like my little hideout."

"Oh..." I said and looked around the tent.

Once I was finished doing that, I headed outside the tent because I felt a little awkward in there. He was arranging some things inside the tent. I had just stepped out of the tent when he said out of the blue,

"Park Eun Sol."

My heart stopped beating. I did not respond to the call and walked out of the tent.

"Oh... you're still pretending to be Ms. Soo?" I heard him and then the barrel of his gun roll and then him pushing it in. I turned back gulping a little.

Jimin oppa. I thought. Is this how things come to an end?

I looked at him and said, "I am sorry?"

"Cut out the acting, Eun Sol... you are already caught..." He was pointing the gun at me.

I looked into his eyes.

"What? Are you thinking about how I got to know about it? Don't worry, it is only me who knows about it.... Appa doesn't know. Your so-called body-guard will be reaching here..." he glanced at his watch. "... in three minutes... by that time you will stop breathing and I will be gone... then the police arrives and see your precious bodyguard holding the gun and then things will be clear. You were shot by your own bodyguard."

I did not reply and walked up to him, still staring at his eyes.

He was taken back by what I was doing. I put my hand on the gun and pushed it down and said, "I don't understand what you are saying..."

I was calculating the aftermath of the situation in my head.

"Really? You still want to play?" he laughed and held my throat and choked me. "Spit out the truth, you came here to get the property back, didn't you?"

I did not reply.

Aftermath. Three minutes. I have three minutes to get the truth out of his mouth.

"What do you want to know?" He choked me harder.

I did not reply.

"You are putting your nose into the matter you don't belong in... " He said. "Since you are dying, I will just tell you everything..."

Yes, tell me everything... I thought.

"I killed Nam Ki Joon, the step-brother of Jungkook, who is actually Chan Soo... "

I was pushed down on the bed.

I started counting the seconds. Whatever it is, I want the truth out of his mouth.

"He took away Yoo Na- the only girl I cherished."

"I called the police to get both Ms. Jeon and Yoo Na to get arrested, I wanted my revenge..."

He choked me harder and I held onto his hands to remove it from my neck.

"I finally got the property... and you thought that you could disguise yourself, give yourself a fake name... and take the property away from me... I had thoughts of killing Jungkook first... but I think that killing you first would add to the melodrama... "

"Even though every document we gave you is fake... there is no way you can take the company away from me..."

I moaned and struggled to breathe.

Jimin oppa!!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

Jungkook-ah... please save me... where are you??
