'Never build the tower of trust in a hurry

because; if broken,

your mind will turn into total slurry'

-Pritha Ganguly

"Ladies and gentlemen, now will I let out the words which I've been waiting for since many months and for which you all have joined the Salvatore family here tonight...," your father's voice echoed around the entire ballroom. People started to whisper amongst themselves wondering what the mafia boss would announce. "It's not 'that', is it?" Taehyung gave your shoulder a slight nudge, referring to the subject on which you too thought had the highest probability of being before the snake's eyes. "Mmm...I actually think that's what he'll say...," you said with a tint of hesitation and shyness mixed. Taehyung's look softened and he looked away after clearing his throat. The snake continued, "I'm in seventh heaven to announce my daughter Y/n's marriage." You looked at Taehyung and Taehyung back at you. The air around was awkward all of a sudden. The room was full of applause. You heard the snake once again, "And the man she's going to wed is our own Kim Taehyung." He said, knowing everyone there was into some or the other illegal business. It was either hooch, slush funds, money laundering or drugs. Everyone looked happy and was cheering.

There was a genuine you-don't-know-how gleeful look on each of the criminal's face.

The lighting went dim in a second and the spotlights were on Taehyung and you now. Being themselves, Jin and Perrie pushed you both on each other so that you were closer to each other. Music played, 'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran, you both were expected to dance.

Your dad was really high today, eh?

You took a closer look at Taehyung as he held you by placing his right hand on your waist and taking your right one in his other one, you had never seen him up this close. He was so well-carved. It was hard to accept the fact that the aforementioned composition of carbon was a living one, a member of the gangdom world...Unbelievable!

He broke the stare you had upheld till now, "Shall we?" to which you nodded. You both started to dance, melting into his embrace, you realised this was the moment you felt the lightest in years.

In a while, the lights became slightly bright with a blue shade. Others also joined the classical music that was playing and came upon the dance floor with their plus one's.

Jin and Perrie were a pair. "What a waste huh? Wouldn't we make a better couple?" Jin smirked at Perrie. "Sometimes I do wonder, how nice it would be if you just kept your mouth shut!" she snapped. "Dance or I'm leaving," she said rolling her eyes. "Why? Is this handsome face stopping you from leaving?" he said, pride about his looks visible in his expression. It wasn't fake at all, he had got some real no-joke looks but... "I'm going." she waved her fingers into a twisty bye as the music changed.

Everyone switched their partners. You were with a guy named Park Jimin, he was a common friend of Taehyung and yours since childhood, you both didn't know that until the start of this evening. Jimin was always nice to you and protected you at all times. At the same time, he was the one trusted with Taehyung's feeling, they were practically brothers.

Jin and Perrie were together again because some escort-like lady had come up to Jin, Perrie somehow couldn't see that so she pushed her away...yeah..pushed her away and continued with Jin.

When Taehyung saw you spin around in Jimin's arms and give out a little chortle, he didn't like it very much. He was jealous... He turned and found Jin. He proceeded, "HYUNG..." he said rather coyly. Jin and Perrie stopped dancing. "What? You- I- Pez he called me hyung!!" Jin started to laugh like a maniac. Perrie hit the back of his head to make him shut up. "Why? Do you need anything?" Jin then asked. "Em.." he looked towards you happy with Jimin and asked, "Can I borrow Perrie for a dance?" "Wh-" Jin was about to ask when Perrie cut him off and pushed him away with her hand on his chest, "Sure! Let's go :)" she smiled playfully at Jin and went away with Taehyung leaving Jin all by himself, he went to get himself a drink by the bar.

"So? Why are you not with your to-be wife?" Perrie asked Taehyung politely while dancing along. "Oh...she's with Jimin..she looks like she's happy so I didn't wanna interrupt." he looked down and said. "Well...get your eyes off my chest, will ya?" she said in a cool manner. "HUH?? IWASNTLOOKINGTHEREIPROMISEIDIDNTLOOKTHEREIMNOTLIKETHAT!" he shrieked. "What a little boy! Okay jokes apart..listen well dude.." she brushed his shoulder and continued speaking, decreasing her dance speed, "Y/n is probably going to be your wife, you'll be living with her all day, night for your entire life. She seems tough but isn't sometimes. She might get really mad sometimes, but that's just like..sometimes, but your part, your role- no matter what? NEVER HURT OR DECEIVE her. Because, if you DO, she will lose the foundation of trust she built in you and promised you to keep. In return, she won't ever do anything that would break your trust. She learnt to trust people again after a long time, so do NOT break it. AND if I EVER hear something from anywhere that she got hurt BECAUSE OF you, you're gonna forget you were ever a man, I'll leave you numb! Is that understood now?"

"Hmm.." he coughed two times and chuckled. "Of course! Hahaha, I would never do anything bad to her. Don't worry! I'll get going now." he took a step to his right to leave when Jin came into sight, he ran to him and whispered, "She's scary...be careful hyung!" Jin chuckled, "She's not scary, she's wild. You need the experience to handle that. Go play with Yeontan kid!" "Oh and Tannie peed on her purse earlier, she was furious, I didn't tell her it was your dog or she would have torn you apart. Say thank you now?" "Ahhh thank youuuu, I'm scared of herhhuhffjjhjk" "You don't plan to date her, do you?!!" Taehyung asked with widened eyes. "Why do you think I'm taking two wine glasses then?" Jin winked and left to reach Perrie. "Oh my!" He said under his breath.

(40 minutes later)

(11 pm)

You all had eaten and drunk a decent amount. The night came to an end without drama, you were really grateful for that. The marriage was a piece of overwhelming news but you could handle it maybe...Taehyung wasn't bad of a guy, so it was okay.. and you knew him a bit too now. A few more talks and meets and that would be fine you thought.

"Thank you all for coming!" the snake announced, "There are more surprises on the way but its enough for tonight for y'all, have a great night!" your father eyed you and said before leaving hand in hand with his new mistress. Not again!

"Y/n! Let's go!" Taehyung called you, with a cute smiley face, standing beside Jin and Perrie at the gate of the hall. "Yeah coming!" you said giving him a shy and warm smile, there were butterflies in your stomach. That's when you got a message on your phone. It was from an unknown ID.

Who is this and is this about the murderer? You zoomed in to see what that picture was of.....

K.Th...those initials, on the gun, Kim Taehyung!

He killed Loki!!!

"Y/n, come on!", Tae held you by your shoulder and guided you with a smile. "Hmm? Yeah!" you nervously said, picturizing him killing Loki that day.
