"JIMIN-AH!" Jin exclaimed running towards Jimin who had walked into the house, Yoongi and Ha Joon following behind him. "Oh my god!" He cried embracing Jimin into his arms.

"Yoongi hyung?" Namjoon walked towards them with others following behind. Yoongi nodded his head, I am okay. That was his answer.

"Yah you pabo! What the hell were you thinking Jimin-ah!" Hoseok cried.

"Mianhae hyung..." Jimin apologized as Jin smacked his arms.

"Do you know how worried we were when we heard about what happened?! Only Jungkook returned, Yoongi was taken to hospital and you were missing! I almost had a heart attack!" Jin scolded.

"I apologize." Ha Joon bowed towards him.

"Ani, ani, why are you apologizing?" Jin shook his head.

"Ha Joon-sii, you shouldn't." Namjoon's firm voice said. Jimin gulped and looked away knowing that he was about to get scolded. Namjoon was pissed. "Jimin you know what you did right?"

"Ne, hyung. I am sorry. I was worried about Noona. She was hurt-"

"Do I have to repeat same thing over and over again? Do you think you are helping her with doing things like this? No! You are just making it difficult for her!" His voice raised. Wasn't he worried? Of course, he was worried. He felt like crying but he should do this no matter how hurt they felt after hearing those words. This wasn't the first time they had done something like this. They did same thing over and over again even after numerous warnings. "Why do you think she got hurt in first place? Huh!" He screamed.

"J-joon-ah..." Hoseok placed his hand on Namjoon's shoulder. "I think they have realised their mistake." He calmly said. Namjoon let out a sign of relief and walked back to couch.

"H-hyung- I am sorry..." Jimin apologised again as tears rolled down his cheeks. Jin wiped his tears and hugged him close.

"It's okay. It's okay. Stop crying. He didn't mean to scold you. He is worried about you as much as we are Jimin-ah." Jin said patting Jimin's back who had started sobbing.

"I-I know. I-I am sorry hyung. I am really sorry-y." He cried apologising towards his hyungs.

"We know. Come on, stop crying and sit down first. Taehyungie bring some water for him." Hoseok asked taking Jimin's hand and dragging him to couch. Everyone settled down on couch. "Ha Joon-ssii, mianhae for causing you so much trouble." Hoseok said referring to earlier when they had panicked over Jimin and troubled Ha Joon for it.

"No problem. It is my job. If I had done my duty right then this wouldn't have happened." He said bowing down towards them.

"Ani, ani, ani. You shouldn't blame yourself Ha Joon-ssi. If you wouldn't have come than noona-" Jungkook stopped after realizing what would've happened. Noona was hurt and he couldn't do anything. She was shot in front of him, her head was bleeding, was she okay? I need to see her.

"She is fine. There is nothing major." Ha Joon answered his unasked questioned. Jungkook snapped his head towards him and then at Jimin and Yoongi who had met with noona. They both nodded their head. Jungkook sighed in relief thanking god for keeping his noona safe.

"Noona, her injuries, are they severe?" Taehyung who had entered with glasses of water asked. Jungkook, Jimin and Yoongi glanced at each other before looking away ashamed. "Ha Joon-sii?"

"Umm she is fine." Ha Joon tried his best not knowing how they would take her having broken bones. He smiled for assuring that she was fine. Well, she looked fine, but doctor said she needed rest for days. "Umm, I know this isn't the right time but I need question Jungkook-sii, Jimin-sii and Yoongi-sii." Ha Joon said looking at the three.

"It's fine." Yoongi replied. Ha Joon nodded his head proceeding to question them about what exactly happened.

"They driver dropped off and ran away. Anything else? Did they talk about anything else?" Ha Joon questioned.

"Umm one of the guys asked the other to bring some material." Jungkook answered. "He seemed to taking orders from someone." Ha Joon nodded listening to them, he was recording everything just in case.

"Thank you." Ha Joon and bowed towards them.

"Is the person caught?" Namjoon suddenly asked. "The person who is behind all this?" He looked at Ha Joon.

"Yes." Everyone let out a sign of relief. "Then, I'll take your leave." With that he left the boys to themselves.

Ha Joon had returned back to Bighit's building next day. He had to report back to his employer then he quickly head back to hospital, Ma'am is alone without anyone to take care of her. He had sent Soo Young yesterday but he was chased off. "I'll collect the documents first then head to CEO's office." He muttered to himself as he made his way to security room where they had been working last few months. The door slammed opened startling Ha Joon. Soo Young walked out cursing someone.

"Soo Young-hyung?" He called but Soo Young seemed too engrossed in cursing to hear Ha Joon calling him. "He went away?" Ha Joon muttered before shaking his head and walking into security room.

"...and I head butted him in stomach. Must have broken his ribs for sure-"

"Ma'am?" Ha Joon froze in his place, there was his boss sitting there as if nothing had happened, her legs propped up on table as she sat on chair chatting with others. If her head wasn't bandaged or her hand wouldn't have been in plaster then he would've thought everything was fine and dandy.

"Ah Joon! You are here-"

"Ma'am what are you doing here? You were supposed to be at hospital, resting!" He exclaimed walking towards her and took her legs off from table and place them down. "You shouldn't be sitting like this; you've got bruised ribs. Sitting like this would put pressure on them. You should be laying down on bed. Why are you here in the first place! Doctor said you needed rest for at least a week!"

"Ah ah stop!" She held her palm front in his face. "Stop nagging. I am fine and I don't need to rest for a week. And stop talking about my injuries, I am trying to look cool here." She whispered out the last sentence looking at their colleagues.

"Ma'am stop this non sense. They look worried rather than impressed." Ha Joon shut her off. "Let's go I'll drop you back to hospital." Ha Joon grabbed under her shoulder to pull her up.

"No! No! No! I am not going there or anywhere!" Gauravi exclaimed shrugging of his hands and hissed because of sudden movement. "I-I am fine Joon. Let me know the details." Her last sentence carried firmness which said no arguments.

"B-But ma'am-Okay." Ha Joon stopped arguing when he saw the look she gave. "They were planning to drug them. The drugs we found at site were to use on them, Jungkook-sii also said about the man asking others to bring the 'material' which was included in the message that was sent to Lee Hwang. We don't know what they were planning to do after that but it would be soon revealed as we have arrested both the thugs and Lee Hwang."

"Hah! Of course, their intention was always same from the start, destroy the boy's career no matter what measures they took. They started off with threats then sent a man to scare them off and now this. They also knew about someone guarding the boys."

"Lee Hwang must have had his doubts. Ma'am there's another thing." Ha Joon said placing a file on table. "The detective who will be handling Lee Hwang's case wish to open up these cases."

"Suicide, assault and rape. What is this?" Gauravi muttered as she flipped through file. "All these cases are of SYP Entertainment."

"Yes, cases which were forced to be shut down. Detective Oh wants to open up these cases with help BTS who had faced the same. He says if they decide to help then not only it bring justice to them but also to others who face the misconduct of SYP. Since BTS has a larger following then this would bring a warning to all who had been doing dirty works through their white collars." Ha Joon explained. He agreed to every point that was stated by Detective Oh. "Ma'am?" Ha Joon called after not receiving Gauravi's response for a while.

"It's not our decision to make Ha Joon." She said looking up to him. Ha Joon wanted to argue. "We had a job that was to protect our employer, we are done. After this it is up to the company and boys." She said closing the file and standing up. "But if this is the last thing I do, shouldn't it be breaking some rules?" She winked picking up the file. Ha Joon blinked his eyes not comprehending what she said. "About what Detective Oh said, I will put in a word to Mr. Bang." She said walked towards the door.

"Last thing? Did she just say last thing?" Ha Joon question to which others just shrugged. "Ma'am!" Ha Joon ran calling out her name.

"What!?" Gauravi exclaimed frustrated. She had walked small distance, her ribs made it hard for her to walk.

"Ma'am what do you mean by last thing?!" Ha Joon reached her with four big steps.

"Huh? It means what it means." Gauravi replied continuing her painful journey towards CEO's office. "You do know that I received letter from HQ. I was asked to return back in three days which is by tomorrow. And...I might get fired wait, wrong choice of words. I am fired after this job that's for sure." She laughed shaking her head.

"Ma'am..."

"What? Are you crying now?" She teased looking at Ha Joon's fallen face.

"Ma'am it was my mistake, I should face the consequences not you! I'll report to HQ right now- " Ha Joon was smacked stopped by Gauravi.

"Dumbass. You don't do stupid things. And what non sense are you talking about being your fault? You did your job correctly, abiding by every rule so, stop muttering shit." Gauravi said patting his cheek.

"But ma'am..."

"I'll be fine. Plus, I need to hurry back since I have to make up to your boyfriend." She grinned. "Now be a kind boy and wait here. I need you to drive me around later." She smiled walking off leaving him behind without any arguments. Gauravi finally somehow reached at CEO's office. She took a deep breath and held up her hand to knock on door when it opened almost startling her. "Ah morning." She greeted Do Hyun who had opened the door.

"Ah ye." He replied staring her down. "You look bad." He commented nodding towards her plastered hand. Gauravi rolled her eyes. No wonder she didn't get along with him.

"Thank you for your concern." She smiled. Do Hyun just clicked his tongue and step aside for her to walk in. "Thanks." She said deliberately bumping into him on way inside.

"Mi-chin nyeon." He cursed under his breath. Gauravi held up her middle finger without turning back. He cursed again indicating he had seen that. She smirked walking inside.

"Morning, sir." Gauravi bowed greeting Mr. Bang who looked troubled as he talked with other two men present in the office.

"Miss Apte? What are you- oh god! Please sit down." He said as soon as he noticed her injured self. "Wha-"

"I have to report to you sir." Gauravi cut him off. She glanced at other two and then back at Mr. Bang. "I understand the situation is little tight right now, but I would like you to listen to this."

"Go ahead."

"Sahjang-nim-" Mr. Bang held up his palm stopping the other two and motioned towards Gauravi to go on. She nodded her head stepping forward and placing the file on the table. Mr. Bang stare at before picking up to check it.

"I don't know on what basis you hire your employees but I am sure you must've known about this since you are of same field. Lee Hwang is under police custody on charge of hiring someone to assault and kidnapped members of idol group BTS. We have enough proof to lock him up for his crimes but Mr. Bang it seems it was not only these recent events but also this, crimes he has been committing for years." Gauravi explained.

"What are you trying say here, you foreigner. You don't even understand how-"

"So Jun-sii, this is your first warning!" Mr. Bang glared at the office man who flinched and clammed his mouth shut. "I apologize for his offence. But Ms. Apte, what are you suggesting here?"

"That document consist of every case that was forced to shut down. Lee Hwang and chairman of SYP has been committing crimes after crimes and roaming around freely. Detective Oh, who is investigating our case wish to open up these cases again. He wants to bring justice to all the suffered and if-"

"BTS with larger fanbase agrees to do this then it would be possible." Mr. Bang finished her sentence. Gauravi nodded her head.

"Sir, just like Mr. So Jun said I don't exactly understand how this industry exactly works but I do understand you care about your every artist. This would not only bring justice to boys who had gone through everything and every other who these criminals have wronged but it will be a warning to others too."

"Hmm..." Mr. Bang pulled his chair and sat down. "Okay." He suddenly said. "So Jun-sii please inform others and make preparations. It's the least we could do to protect our artists and every other artist too." Two office man nodded and rushed out to make preparations. Gauravi smiled as she watched them walk off. "Ms. Apte I know this absurd to ask you right now with you being injured and after asking you to leave. I am embarrassed but I would like you to help us." Gauravi smiled hearing him say that.

"I would be happy to do that but sir, I was dismissed from my post long ago. It was my stubborn self who stayed against the orders. Now, I have completed my duty, I must receive my set of punishment too." She joked snorting at her own self. "About the case and investigation, I will put in a request to my senior, he is a former detective. I am sure he will help you out." She smiled.

"Kure (It's like that)." Mr. Bang said placing his hands on table. "Ms. Apte, I would like to hire security team for my artists to avoid any future events like this. I know it's bound to happen again with growing fame. I want to be on safer side now, deciding this without talking with boys is going to take a toll on them." He said looking her. It was clear what he was trying to say. Gauravi smiled nodding her head.

"Sure, it is. I am sure you will take care of your artists. The security team, the Korean branch is quite efficient and Mr. Ha Joon is perfect for job. Since Mr. Ha Joon will be handling this case from now, you can decide where he is fit for this job during the course." Gauravi suggested. Mr. Bang sighed accepting defeat, after all there was no way to change her mind now. "Then, I'll take your leave." She bowed.

"Ne." Mr. Bang stood up. "Thank you for your service and I wish you best." Mr. Bang held out his held. Gauravi smiled and shook his hands. She nodded and left.

"Uh? Were you waiting outside?" Gauravi asked when she saw Ha Joon waiting outside. "Come on let's go." Ha Joon put his arm around her back to support her. She smiled. "You'll get busy from now on." She teased.

"Ma'am are you really sure? Can't you just stay here-"

"And do what?" Gauravi cut him off. "I should return back since there's nothing left to do here out of my stubbornness. And...you are here to handle everything else."

"What about Yoongi-sii? What are you going to tell them? Or are you planning to leave without saying anything?" Ha Joon questioned making her laugh at his cuteness, the way he was trying to convince her to stay back.

"Nah, I am planning on telling them, that's what you are here for. You are going to be my chauffeur boy. Come on!" She teased.
