Just like your parents told you in that letter, nothing really changed in your life after their death. You went to school every day and met your friends. You didn't ever hear about that gang thing and about those who gave you that letter again.

                That, until now.

                It was the lunch time at your school, so you were just sitting and eating with some of your friends. You were all laughing at a joke your best friend, Yewook, said when suddenly all the cafeteria went silent. Naturally, you all stopped laughing too and started to wonder what made everyone shut up. You soon discovered that the reason was no other than the arrival of the «gang members». You tried to hide behind your friend, but unfortunately one of them noticed you and told the others. They started to mumble between themselves so that nobody could hear and finally one of the guy came to you while everybody was looking at him.

                «Hi, (Y/N)», he said.

                «Go away», you answered. «I already told you guys I don't believe a thing you told me».

                «Come with us. We just want to talk to you for a minute. You don't want to disturb everybody's lunch, do you?»

                You groaned but got up and followed him. All the students were still looking at you and it made you blush. You didn't like when the attention was on you. They smiled at you but you didn't answer and ordered to get over with it quickly. They nodded and brought you outside so you would be alone.

                «First of all», the one who came to you started, «I'm sure you want to know who we are».

                «Not really», you answered coldly.

                «Well I'll tell you anyway. My name is Kim Namjoon and I'm the leader of the members placed in Seoul. Here is Park Jimin, really nice but not that smart…»

                «Yah hyung!» Jimin contested.

                «Shut up I'm talking. This is Jung Hoseok, not scary at all but pretty strong. This is Jungkook, the youngest of the guys. That guy over there is Min Yoongi, more talking than fighting. This one is Seokjin, he takes care of us. That girl is Bae Chanmi, pretty much our nurse but she's also good with plans. This one is Yang Sehwa, the youngest of us all. And finally this is V».

                «V?» you repeated. «That's not his real name, is it?»

                «No, that's not. But you don't need to know that for now. Anyway, like your parents probably told you in their letter, we are here to protect you. We have a lot of enemies after us, and that, because we are pretty powerful all over the country, thanks to your dad. We go by the name of Bangtan».

                Bangtan… You already heard this somewhere, but you didn't know where, and that made you feel frustrated. You hated that feeling of knowing something without being able to put a finger on it.

                «Hold on», you stopped him. «What does all of this have to do with me?»

                «Our enemies are sure that you know all of your parents' secrets and where they hid the money before dying. So they're after you», Seokjin explained.

                «What money?»

                «The less you know the better it is», Hoseok assured.

                «Alright. But what will happen to me, now?»

                «Well the best would be that you come live with us. We could bring you to school in the morning and pick you up at the end of the day», Namjoon explained.

                «What if I say no?»

                «You can't», Jungkook assured. «The consequences of you being alone will be worse than those of living with us».

                «When will all of this end…?» you asked.

                None of them spoke. Some were looking at each other awkwardly while the others were avoiding eye contacts with you, mostly by looking at the ground.

                «Alright», you finally agreed. «I'll come live with you. But I want my own room and nobody can come in it unless I invite them in. I also want you guys to stop talking about my parents».

                «Deal», Namjoon agreed.

                You shook his hand to sell the deal and went back in. The bell rang so you didn't have any time to explain everything to your friends who were probably really worried for you, so you promised yourself to talk to them later.

***

                At the end of the day, Yewook came to see you and started asking way too many questions so you promised her you'd explain her later, knowing Namjoon and the others were waiting for you outside the school. She agreed and left with your other friends. You went out the school and, as you predict, they were waiting for you. However, only Yoongi, Namjoon, V and Chanmi were there.

                «Where are the others?» you asked.

                «Jin's cooking with Sehwa and Jungkook and Jimin and Hoseok are taking care of some… stuff».

                At the ton Namjoon used, you understood that the stuff they were taking care of was surely not that joyful.

                «Well, let's go», you said.

                «We're going to your house first, so you can pack some things», Namjoon added.

                «Ok».

                You leaded the four gang members to your house and let them explore it while you were packing your things. Well, the guys were exploring it and Chanmi was helping you.

                «Why did you enter the gang?» you asked her, wanting to know more about gangs in general.

                «Well I had a kinda difficult period in my life when I was younger and I met your dad at that moment. He told me that he could help me and that everything was going to be ok. I was so desperate that I accepted his offer and here I am».

                «Aren't you scared? Like, it's not exactly safe to be a gang member…»

                «I am. But I know that the other members got my back just like I got theirs so I'm ok. Beside, our enemies aren't coming for a gang member in particular, they're coming for Bangtan in general so if we fight them together it's not that dangerous. Another member can save you before it turns into a drama».

                «Did you ever get hurt?»

                «Once. I got shot on my left thigh. Kinda hurt. But like I said, the members got my back. So when Yoongi saw I was hurt, he brought me to the hospital right away and they saved me and my leg».

                «Did you ever lose a member? Beside my parents I mean».

                «Not in Seoul. We lost some in other cities, but not here. We almost lost V once but that's all».

                «How?»

                You couldn't help but ask more questions. She seemed so open to talk to you and you were so tired of the guys never answering precisely!

                «One of our enemies threw him off a bridge. Fortunately, there was a lake under and Jungkook can swim».

                «Wow…»

                «Pretty crazy, huh? I'm sorry if I scared you with all my stories. I didn't mean to. It's just that I've been in that gang for so long that nothing shocks me anymore. Plus, it's pretty boring most of the time. All we do is hang out and play».

                «For how long have you been in Bangtan?»

                «Five or six years… Maybe more, I don't know. All I know is that Namjoon, Yoongi, Seokjin and Hoseok were in way before me. Jimin and Jungkook have been in for just a year or two more than me. V came in two years after me and we recruited Sehwa last year».

                «What about… my parents?»

                «I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I don't know much about your parents. They never talked about themselves. But I'm pretty sure they've been in for thirty years or so. They met each other in it».

                Your parents have been dating for thirty-three years, so you believed her on that point.

                «Anyway, you're ready?» she asked.

                «Yes».

                «Let's go then».

                «Wait! Thanks a lot, unnie. You're the first one to actually answer some questions».

                «Yeah, the guys are mysterious, huh? Never be shy to come to me to ask more questions if you feel like it. I'll be happy to answer you».

                «Thank you».

                You smiled and she smiled back. Namjoon called you so you closed your bag and threw it on your shoulder before going down the stairs. Yoongi took your bag for you and Chanmi gave the one she made for you to V. The five of you left your house and made your way to theirs. From outside, it looked like a pretty normal house, which made you wonder if it was really the good place. It didn't have a «gang» feel at all and it reassured you quite a bit. You were scared it was gonna be in a dark alley or something but it wasn't. You entered the house and Yoongi brought your bags to your room and Chanmi and Sehwa showed you around, while Jin and Jungkook were still cooking, Namjoon and V just disappeared in another room and Jimin and Hoseok weren't back yet.

                The house was pretty cozy. It was clean and it smelled like a normal house. The only thing that showed you they really were gang members was the washroom, since it was full of bandage, medicine and other stuff to take care of injuries. You didn't see any weapons or drugs though.

                «Where are all your weapons?» you asked the two girls.

                «Hidden» was the only answer you got.

                You didn't insist and they brought you to your room. Just like you asked, you had your own room. Of course, you felt bad that the two members who were sleeping in your room before you had to sleep somewhere else, but you wanted intimacy more than everything.

                «Who was sleeping here before me?» you questioned.

                «Jungkook and me», Sehwa answered.

                You were surprised. You thought that the two girls were sharing a room together, apart from the boys, but apparently not. Seeing you were taken aback, Chanmi explained.

                «They're dating, so they got a room together», she said.

                You felt even worse for separating a couple, but Sehwa reassured you that she didn't care since he snored anyway. You laughed at her remark and nodded. You talked with them for a few more minutes and they left to let you organize your things. You put your clothes in the wardrobe and organized your makeup on your desk. Once you finished, Seokjin called you for dinner so you joined your new roommates in the dining room. Everyone was here, except for Jimin and Hoseok who weren't back yet.

                «When are Jimin and Hoseok coming back?» you asked while starting to eat.

                Jin gave you an awkward look and the two girls started avoiding your gaze.

                «They should be back by now, in fact», Yoongi stated.

                «Why aren't they, then?»

                «We don't know», Namjoon said. «Yoongi and I are going to search for them after dinner».

                «But what if something happens?!» you started to panic.

                «Don't worry about it», Namjoon reassured you, smiling. «We're used getting in trouble».

                «I think she's right, actually», Chanmi agreed with you. «Don't forget who they are with. Now that the bosses aren't here anymore, they may get even more aggressive».

                You couldn't help but wonder who they were with to scare Chanmi that much. To you, she looked tough and not easily scared at all, so her reaction surprised you, but you chose not to say anything since none of them looked in the mood to answer you.

«We can't just stay still here waiting for them!» Yoongi protested.

«We can't and we won't», Namjoon decided. «Chanmi, I understand your point of view, but if Jimin and Hoseok are in trou-»

The sound of the door opening cut him off. Everybody, including you, got up and ran to the front door. What you discovered there froze you. It was Hoseok and Jimin, both bleeding as hell and laying on the ground from the injuries, the latter trying to give a piece of paper to Namjoon.
