Anguish
{3RD PER POV}
" you might want to see this boss," Yoongi said bringing his laptop to where Jungkook was seated.
The blonde-haired man stood next to his boss with his working laptop in hand. Ever since the shipment hijack, he has been working tirelessly to find out the people behind it.
Hacking and finding information was a piece of cake where he is and he is considered the wizard of the squad. This particular situation has given him some difficulty in figuring out and he was so happy after he caught something on the CCTV from the warehouse.
Some unknown men had been seen lurking around their warehouse where most of all their goods are stored. He knows clearly that those men are not their men, and for them to be intruding freely then something fishy is going on.
That was why he had rushed to their boss immediately after he saw it. Maybe it's time to eventually catch the black sheep.
" what is this?" The dark-haired boss asked.
" We have invaders at the warehouse and I think someone from our side had let them in."
After Yoongi made that statement it was as if all the warmth from the place was sucked out, the young boss's face has gone deadly.
Yoongi recognized that look and he has witnessed the outcome of that look severally and it was never good.
Whoever has betrayed them is going to pay dearly.
" I can't believe someone has the intellect to betray me. I don't care who that person is, bring them to me!" he ordered.
He has had the hunch about someone from his squad tipping off their enemies about their deals but it was never proven until now.
Whoever the person is, he's never going to forgive them and he will use them to set an example for others.
Yoongi left quickly to take care of the situation. He took a bunch of men with him and they head out to the warehouse.
Jungkook's insides were all inflamed at this point. He stood up from where he was seated and made his way to meet Namjoon.
Namjoon and hoseok just got back from an important business in Daegu, the two men have worked hard to secure another deal in Daegu. Getting allies in other smaller cities would expand their network and influence.
Jungkoook is not oblivious to the fact that as much as he wanted full control in Seoul, it's never going to be easy. That is why he has decided to keep waxing his network further.
" How did it go? I heard about the new gang terrorizing the neighborhood." He asked the two men.
" it was as bad as we heard, reports of young girls being raped on a daily were rampant. Killings and robberies were also reported. People in that neighborhood live in fear, nobody is courageous enough to come to their aid." Namjoon narrated the situation.
They might be in the business but they never kill for fun.
Jungkook would not accept business proposals from anyone that touches women and kids or kill them for the fun of it.
He does everything to destroy them, and that is why many of the other tyrant mafia lords want him out of their ways.
But this was not the first case of killings going out of control in smaller neighborhoods. This was why he sent Namjoon and Hoseok to find out about the situation.
"Who is their leader?"
" At first we found a small hideout after we busted four of them about to rape some girl. From what we gathered, they have a stronger backup." Replied Hoseok.
" So you're saying that no matter how we try to interfere, nothing is going to stop them?" Jungkook asked with a visible frown on his face.
He could not imagine innocent lives being taken against their will because of some tyrants.
There has to be a way to stop all of this.
" I'm afraid that's true and if we try to interfere more than this, it might bring some unnecessary attention to us."
Namjoon wanted to make it clear because Jungkook is one stubborn fellow. As his friend, he doesn't want to see everything they'd worked for years go sideways.
He saw how distressed Jungkook looked, the younger one has so many things going on for him. Namjoon felt sad and angry at the same time, the young boss is like a brother to him and they have all pledged their loyalty to him and to protect him til their last breath.
Jungkook will never let this slide and it bothers him
Jungkook winced in discomfort as his heart twisted in pain, as memories starts to wash over him.
How can he let this continue without doing anything to stop it?
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, blowing the steam off through his nose. He ran his fingers through his hair, pulling them hard.
The room went silent until footsteps were heard coming into the room. Four men enter the room one of them carrying a box. They walked up to where the three were seated and presented the box.
Namjoon and Hoseok were watching with curiosity in their eyes, they looked at Jungkook who was still calm smoking away his cigarette.
The young boss stared at the box with satisfaction, his eyes red from the cigarette.
It's been two weeks since the incident at the club.
Ever since his heart was invaded by the beautiful woman. He has tried to find her but just like a dream, she has faded away. It was as if she was unreal and everything that happened that fateful night had been a dream.
He frequented the club every night to see if she'll come by but it never happened.
Every other woman has become boring and the same in his eyes, no matter how much women tried to get his attention or seduced him, it did not affect him.
A few nights ago he tried to have sex with someone else but he just couldn't do it. The small pale-skinned girl has taken every part of his mind. He still remembers how she tasted like caramel, her scent, and how she melted in his arms.
That girl was special and he seemed frustrated when he found nothing about her.
Where would she be?
At some point, he was beginning to think if she was from a different city. Everything has now become a dream.
" Here is what you requested boss" the man carrying the box informed.
He places the box in front of Jungkook and opens it. The other two oblivious men raised their brows in shock after seeing freshly cut human hands in the box. They turned to Jungkook with curiosity but there was only a hideous smirk on his face.
They wondered what must have happened during their absence. They know their boss is stone-hearted. This is why curiosity was now eating them deeply and Hoseok could no longer dwell in it.
" What is this?" Curious Hoseok asked pointing to the hands in the box.
" Hands?" Jungkook replied nonchalantly as he keeps dragging smoke down his lungs.
" of course, we know that but how does this come about?" He asked again carefully because their boss doesn't like to be asked too many questions.
Jungkook glanced at him for a few seconds and then retired to staring at the hands in the box.
" Hands of a motherfucker who doesn't know how to respect women" He answered in a satisfied manner.
The other men nodded in understanding but they still have some unanswered questions in their heads, maybe it's best to ask the other of their friends.
Pushing more questions at their boss isn't a good idea. They know whoever those hands belong to must have done something forbidden.
" Did you let him live as I said?" the smoking man asked.
" Yes boss, we did as you instructed and right now he has been admitted to the hospital. We also found out something else boss" the first man explained.
He continued after he got a go-ahead from the boss.
" His name is Jae-Bong, he is the younger brother of Sang Kil leader of the gang hunters."
Hearing what the man just said both Jungkook, Namjoon, and Hoseok were left surprised.
Isn't karma a real bitch?
A month ago they have been attacked by men Sang Kil sent on them and now without knowing, the dead hands of his younger brother lay in front of them.
Jungkook smiled with great satisfaction, he has used a stone to kill two birds. The bastard never saw any of this coming and will never know from who it came.
Bravo
" Good job, leave."
They bowed slightly and left the room. After they left NamJoon observed the younger man and he saw some kind of spark in his eyes. He was sure something interesting happened in their absence, the hands in the box good evidence of it.
"Don't you think Sang Kil will come after us again?" He asked him.
" I know and I don't care, maybe this is an opportunity to take him down once and for all"
" Jungkook? Sang Kil has a strong backup, facing him head-on is not a great idea. We have to be more careful." Namjoon tried to make his boss understand.
Namjoon is right, Sang kil is a hardened criminal that helps a wide range of gangs and overlords. He will be a strong opponent for them and taking him down will not be easy.
Namjoon is smart and very observant. He is a practical man and even though he understands the reason the younger wants Sang Kil down, it's not a good idea.
" I want him to see that as a payback, he should have known better before sending hunters on us." The boss said putting off the cigarette in the ashtray beside him.
The bastard has the guts to lay these filthy hands on someone he desired.
Life has not been fair to anyone, it always finds ways to teach everyone a lesson at some stage. It has taught Jungkook to be relentless and emotionless.
At a young age, life took away the most precious thing in his life without no mercy. No matter how much he cried and pleaded it still took it all away.
He has learned to take everything into his own hands and be the judge of his fate. He created another path for himself and he's never going to turn back no matter what happens.
Informing the two men about the situation in the warehouse and how Yoongi and Taehyung were taking care of it. They were surprised to know about it and they looked forward to finding out who the rat is.
<<<<<<~~~~<<<<<<
The evening has gone chilly and so is the atmosphere in the basement.
After yoongi and the rest got back from the warehouse, five men were dragged into the basement hands tied to the back.
At the warehouse, they had been taken unaware and were caught in the act. Waiting on the right time to attack, yoongi watched as two of their men gave the signal to the raiders before they made their way into the main gate.
What they did not know was Jungkook instructed Yoongi to have another secret camera installed everywhere, because each time something happened all the footage ends up getting deleted.
Staying at their hidden point, they watched as the unknown men enter the main building with no one stopping them.
Taehyung and some men entered secretly into the CCTV room and witness as the men in charge were watching the whole ordeal without doing anything. He was so furious and was ready to blow off their brains, but he has to wait to get a signal from Yoongi first.
These assholes have been behind all the attacks and hijacking of their shipment, how could they not have known earlier.
It boils him the most to know that they played on their intelligence.
What were they thinking? Did they think Jungkook would not find out about them? They don't even know the kind of boss they have.
Taehyung smiled devilishly after he received a signal from Yoongi, who was about to take care of the ones outside.
Walking into the room and scaring the hell out of the betrayals, he smiled at them clapping his hands.
" What do we say? Game over?" He asked while slowly walking closer to them.
They were so scared, they almost wet their pants. With legs and hands shaking like dead leaves, they fell to their knees.
" What do you think? Do you think you guys are some kind of immortals that can't be found out? Betraying Jeon Jungkook for whatever reason is going to be the biggest mistake of your life.? Taehyung quipped as he bent down to their eyes level.
" The only reason I'm not putting bullets right into your damn brains is that the boss wants your miserable asses alive.
By now the men were sweating profusely and knowing that they are better than dead rats, it felt like the world has crashed down on them.
Allowing themselves to be dragged into the basement and tortured was their biggest anxiety, they knows exactly what they are in for and they wouldn't want to risk it. Getting shot and killed right there was going to be the most honored death.
So without wasting the opportunity, one of them quickly reached for his gun and aim at Taehyung who was right in front of them.
The latter seeing what was about to happen quickly jumped out of the way and with a smooth aim he shot at the man who had wanted to take him down first.
The men with Taehyung have also been quick to hold the remaining men at gunpoint.
Walking straight to the wriggling man on the floor, he used his boot to press on his shot arms, until he was almost lifeless.
A few minutes later he got another signal from Yoongi telling him that the coast was now cleared.
The intruders have been caught and taken hostage. Instructing the men with him to bring the caught men along.
And now it seems like, at every tickling of the clock, the oxygen level in the basement was been sucked out.
The silent watch from their boss was much more agonizing, tied helplessly to the same chairs they have witnessed hostages tortured, was something they never saw coming.
This place is a gateway to hell and the man standing right in front of them is Hades himself.
Everyone stood watching their boss as he silently observed the betrayals. Not knowing what is going on in his head. But they know that whatever it is, one thing is certain. The death awaiting them will never be easy.
The very dense atmosphere suddenly became tense as the silent boss now spoke up for the first time in minutes since he arrived in the basement.
" Why? Who is it?" Jungkook's voice resounded gravely.
No explanation was needed to be said to the scared men for them to understand what he asked.
They have worked several years for the young boss and they know what he's capable of doing, but all the blood in their bodies drained the moment they saw him putting on black gloves.
The two surviving intruders may not understand what that means, but the three whistleblowers knew exactly what was about to transpire.
" Boss please pardon us, w-we have been w-wro-ng!" One of them quickly pleaded, thinking he might soften the boss with it.
He was wrong because not battling an eye their way, Jungkook moved to the shiny torturing equipment stand. He was going to torment them mentally before the real deal.
" You know, I've been following some programs on how to dissect a corpse, and I tried using a frog recently but I wasn't satisfied with the result. What do you suggest I use next?" He asked turning to see the men as they almost passed out from shock.
Using the shiny scalpel in his hand he pointed to one of them who immediately wetted his pants. The man has heard stories about Jungkook, but he never imagined he was this heartless.
" l-l don't - pleas-e I have kids at home, don't do this" The terrified man pleaded crying like a baby.
That only infuriated Jungkook more and he laughed out loud, he glared dangerously at the man.
He distastes people who use excuses to get themselves out of shit, people like them never change from their wrongdoings.
" Should we begin with you?" He stared him in the eyes and saw the fear in his eyes.
He wants them to know and understand that he's never someone to mess with.
Nothing is going to save them. Ever.
" I'm not going to ask again, for every wrong answer you give, you're gonna lose your balls each and the next person is going to eat it right in front of you." Jungkook was not there to play, the fears he was instilling in them were becoming unbearable.
The mental torture was too much, the hostages were already going insane from the fear and agony.
Namjoon and the other three watched silently, leaving their boss to do his things. This was not the first time they have seen him in action.
When it comes to Jeon Jungkook, even the devil sits down to learn.
The man that was earlier shot by Taehyung was slowly bleeding to his death coupled with the mental torture, he was going to die very soon.
" We were sent by Sang Kil, but we got help to attack because he bought some of your men. They are the ones tipping us on everything" One of the intruders spilled wasting no time.
The confession riled Jungkook the more, he was surprised how every bad thing that has been happening was linked to Sang Kil.
What is in for him and why he keeps getting in the way of his business?
Sang Kil only works on contract, whoever he had that deal with must have a big grievance for him.
Now he regretted not having the head of his younger brother instead, he was going to make Sang Kil pay for all the damages.
He looked at the pleading men, who thought spilling the truth would spare their miserable lives.
Giving them an easy death would be so unfair.
" Torture them and keep them from dying. Hades needs only my permission to take them." He said his men.
Removing his gloves and hearing as shouting of pleads getting higher, he walked out of the basement followed by the other four men.
