Meanwhile, Daegu Boys:
Yn called Chengxin, her old friend, and told him to go with Suga and Tae, and show them the room where the "Smart City" project is being worked on.
At the room where the "Smart City" project is happening:
As they reached the room, the employee with them told them to wait outside.
Employee: "Sir, please wait outside. I will inform the sir of your arrival."
Suga: "Hmm... Go."
Tae: "Hyung, have you accepted Yn and her mom?"
Suga: (Sigh) "I don't know. But I’m sure we can trust her and her mom. They're not gold diggers. We met Mrs. Lee at the party, and she's a good lady. As for Yn... I don’t know. But based on the rumors and what I’ve learned about her, I found out that she has very few friends. She doesn’t have anyone left in her family."
Tae: "Hyung, what do you mean by that? Is there something else we don’t know?"
Suga: "Yes, there’s a lot. But we’ll all have to know at the same time. I’ll tell you when everyone’s together, not now."
Tae: "Okay, hyung."
Employee: "Sir, you can go in. I’ve informed sir."
Suga: "Let’s go, Taehyung."
Suga POV:
As we entered the room, there were 7 boys who bowed to both of us. They must be working on this project.
???: "Hello, sir. I’m Jungwon, the leader of this team."
Suga: "Hmm... Hello, I’m Yoongi, and this is Taehyung. First, introduce yourselves and tell us which computer the file is in."
Jungwon: "Okay, sir. Boys, line up and introduce yourselves."
Ni-Ki: "Hello, sir. I’m Ni-ki, and I’m a designer for this project."
Jake: "Hello, sir. I’m Jake, and I’m a developer for the project."
Sunoo: "Hello, sir. I’m Sunno, also a developer."
Jay: "Hello, sir. I’m Jay, an analyst for the project."
Heesung: "Hello, sir. I’m Heesung, and I’m a supporter for the project."
Sung Hoon: "Hello, sir. I’m Sung Hoon, also a designer."
All: "Sir, together, we are ENHYPEN."
Tae: "Wait, ENHYPEN? I think I’ve heard this name before... but where? I can’t remember. Yes, aren't you the group that broke into the United States Intelligence Community’s security?"
Jungwon: "Yes, sir. We are that team."
Tae: "Wow... How did Yn get you into her company?"
Ni-Ki: "Sir, we all studied in Australia, and Yn was our senior in high school."
Tae: "So, you’ve known Yn since high school."
Sunno: "Yes, sir."
Suga: "Now, tell us, which computer has the file?"
Sung Hoon: "Sir, it’s in the third computer. But this computer has a password, and only Yn ma'am knows it."
Tae: "So, there are 7 of you, but why are there 3 extra computers?"
Jay: "Sir, 3 people joined the company 2 months ago."
Suga: "Then where are they? Call them now."
Jake: "Sir, they didn’t come today."
Suga: "Tell me their names. Tae, find details about those 3, and I’ll try to restore the file."
Tae: "Okay, hyung."
After this conversation, they both started their respective tasks. Suga tried to restore the project file, while Tae began searching for the details of the 3 new people.
Meanwhile, in Yn's Office –
As Suga and Tae walked into the office, the tension in the room was palpable. The members of BTS, along with Yn and Jin, were already gathered, eagerly waiting for the news from the two who had been working tirelessly on restoring the project file.
Namjoon: "Oh, you guys are here. Now tell us, what did you find?"
Suga: "We’ve restored the file. I bypassed the old password system and set up an eye scanner. Now, the file can only be opened by the eyes of 10 people. No password required anymore."
Jimin: "That’s a good solution, hyung. But who are the 10 people?"
Yn: "I think I know who they are."
Jin: "Really? Then tell us, who are the 10 people?"
Yn: "You seven, me, Zhe, and lastly, Jungwon. Am I right, Suga?"
Suga: "Hmm... You got it right."
Jk: "Now, tell us what everyone else found."
Jimin: "We found footage of three people trying to access the project file, but their faces are blurry, so we can’t clearly identify them. But I’m sure it was them who deleted the file."
Jk: "And what about you, hyung? What did you find?"
Suga: "There are 10 people in the team, but today, only 7 showed up. The other 3 were absent."
Namjoon: "Now, Jin hyung, tell us what you got."
Jin: "The three people who were absent joined the company two months ago. The details of these three are in this file."
Tae: "We don’t need their details, hyung. We already know who they are."
Suga: "What do you mean? How can you know them? You didn’t even look at the details."
Tae: "I did, hyung. You told me to find out about the three missing people. They’re none other than James Smith’s sons."
All (except Jk, Jin, Yn, Tae): "WHAT?!"
Jk: "Yeah, they’re Advik, Kiaan, and Josh."
Jimin: "So they’re here in South Korea? We need to inform USIC (United States Intelligence Community)."
Jin: "We’ve already done that."
Joon: "And what about those three? How do we find them?"
Yn: "Don’t worry about that. I’ll take care of it."
Yn pulls out her phone, dialing a number with a calm yet determined expression on her face.
As Yn waited for the call to connect, the room fell silent, everyone knowing that this was a pivotal moment. The weight of the situation hung heavy in the air, but Yn’s confidence and control over the situation reassured them.
Yn pulled out her phone and started calling someone.
On Call:
Yn – Hey Kiaan, where are you? Can you come to ***Cafe on *** Street?
Kiaan – Mam, I’m sorry, I can’t come. I have some important work to do.
Yn – I was planning to give you what you asked for three days ago. But it’s okay if you can’t come.
Kiaan – Wa-wait, you’re really going to give us that thing?
Yn – Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it since that day, and today I finally made up my mind. But if you’re busy, I guess it’s okay. If you guys can’t come, I’ll cancel the plan.
Kiaan – No, no, wait! We’re coming. Just wait for us, we’ll be there in 15 minutes.
Kiaan POV:
We were packing our bags and getting ready to leave when my phone started ringing. I saw that it was Yn calling. Josh told me to pick it up, so I did. I asked her what was going on, and she told me to meet her at *** Cafe on *** Street. But I told her I had some important work and couldn’t make it. But then, the next thing she said shocked me. She said she was considering the proposal we made three days ago. Me and my brothers couldn’t believe it. I asked her again, and she confirmed it. So, I told her to wait for us at the cafe. After that, we started heading toward the cafe.
Yn POV:
After I hung up, everyone’s eyes were on me. They stared at me like I’d committed some kind of crime. But if they knew what I agreed to with Kiaan, they’d eat me alive. I’m scared. This is the second time I’ve felt this way. The first time I was this scared was from them. They’re so close to me.
Yn – What happened? Why are you all staring at me like that?
Jk – What’s this thing you said yes to Kiaan for?
Jin – Yn, if this is what I’m thinking, you’ll see a different side of me. (dangerous tone)
I’m really scared now. Should I tell them or not? If I do, they’ll eat me alive, and if I don’t, they’ll still eat me alive. Looking at their faces, I feel like they’re part of the mafia or something. But the most important thing is, why am I afraid of them? It’s not like I’ve accepted anything, have I? No, no, that can’t be it.
Lost in my thoughts, someone yells my name. It’s Jin Hyung.
Jin – Yn, where are you? Tell us what Kiaan said.
Yn – The thing is, three days ago, the Smith sons made a proposal to me. They said I have to marry one of them, and in return, they’ll help me expand my company internationally, especially in America. That’s why I said yes.
Jin – So, this is what you said yes to?
Yn – Hmm... But what did you think I said yes to?
Jin – Nothing, you're small. You don’t have to know.
Yn – Okay, then let's go to *** Cafe.
Jin – Okay, let’s go. But wait, you really said yes to a marriage proposal?
Yn – Hmm...yes.
Jimin – So, it means we’re going to have two weddings?
Yn’s face: ----____---- “What the heck, man?”
Yn – Jimin hyung and Jin Hyung, are you both sure you’re the brothers of Kim Namjoon and Kim Taehyung? Because I don’t think so.
Jin, Jimin – Why?
Yn – Oh god, I can’t understand you two. Who the heck made you guys the CEOs of Kim Corporation?
Jin, Jimin – Yah! How can you say that? We’re older than you!
They start bickering, and some people behind them laugh.
Joon – Okay, enough. Now tell us, Yn, what’s the next plan?
Yn – We’re going to *** Cafe. You all will surround the cafe, and SKIC (South Korea Intelligence Community) will also be present. When the right time comes, we’ll catch them and hand them over to USIC, okay?
Suga – Hmm, sounds like a good plan. Let’s go to *** Cafe then.
Author POV:
After finalizing the plan, the group made their way to *** Cafe and executed everything as planned. Yn walked straight to a chair, sat down, and began waiting for the three brothers. Everything unfolded according to the strategy. Yn engaged in light conversation with them for about 15 minutes. Then, as planned, Jin and Jk apprehended Advik, while Josh was caught by Joon and Jimin. Kiaan, on the other hand, was captured by Suga and Tae. The BTS members waited patiently for the perfect moment, and when it arrived, they swiftly detained the three brothers and handed them over to the SKIC.
Once the operation was complete, all the BTS members returned to their homes. As for Yn, they made sure to drop her off at her place, not only out of respect for her as a gentleman but also because, soon enough, she would be joining the Kim family, which made it all the more important to ensure her safety.
Author POV:
After completing the inquiries, they decided to head to Yn's house. Since Yn needed Jin's help, everyone agreed to accompany her. During the ride, Yn also decided it was the right time to introduce them to her company's board members.
Conversation in the Limo:
Yn – Umm... I want to ask something. (cold tone)
Yoongi – Hmm, ask. (equally cold tone)
Yn – You remember we have a meeting tomorrow about the corporations, right? (cold tone)
Joon – Yes, so what?
Yn – I want you all to meet my company's board members.
Jimin – But it’s already late, and we still have one more place to visit. Can’t we meet them tomorrow? It doesn’t seem urgent.
Jin – I agree with Jimin. It can wait until tomorrow, Yn.
Yn – No, we don’t need to go anywhere else. The place we’re heading to is where they live. (cold tone)
Tae – Wait, what? You’re saying they live there? Does that mean you live with them too?
Jk – Yn, is what Tae Hyung’s saying true?
Yn – Can you guys please stop jumping to conclusions? Just listen to me. I don’t live with them—Zhe lives with them. I live with Mom. Got it?
Jk – Okay, okay.
Yn – And we don’t need to visit any additional places because the person Jin Hyung is going to check on is one of the board members. So, everything is already set.
Joon – Alright, then. We’ll meet them.
Yn's POV:
I was lost in thought, reflecting on everything that happened today. Mom’s boyfriend, BTS turning out to be my stepbrothers, and most importantly, the project. Fear and anger consumed me when I realized I had lost my file. This project isn’t just any project—it belongs to my sunshine, bunny, and a few people close to them. They poured so much effort into it.
Though I’ve only heard about them from sunshine and bunny and spoken to them a handful of times over the phone (never via video call), I can tell they’re good people. Their dedication and kindness have always stood out.
As I sat there thinking, an idea struck me: I should introduce them to BTS. After all, they’re an essential part of the company and were instrumental in helping me establish it. More than colleagues, they feel like family to me.
So, I suggested the idea of meeting the board members to BTS. At first, they disagreed, assuming we’d need to make another trip to meet them. But I clarified that the board members live at the same place we were already heading to.
Then Tae Hyung asked me something that caught me off guard—he assumed I lived with the board members. Jungkook followed up with the same question, but his tone was serious and cold this time. Their sudden shift to protective, almost overbearing, behavior unsettled me.
Are they starting to accept me as their sister? Why am I even thinking about this? Shaking off the thought, I clarified the misunderstanding and reassured them I lived with Mom, not the board members.
After that, we continued driving to the Yang mansion.
Midway, my phone rang. The caller ID read "UV." Without hesitation, I decided to pick it up.
On Call:
UV – Hello, where are you?
Yn – On the way.
UV – Okay. Are you with someone?
Yn – Yeah, my brothers are coming with me. Let everyone know.
UV – Got it. Anything else? If not, I’ll end the call.
Yn – Actually, yes. Did he open his eyes yet?
UV – No, we’ve tried everything, but he’s still unconscious.
Yn – Don’t worry. I’m on my way, and I have someone with me who can help. I’m sure of it.
UV – Alright, I trust you. Come quickly. Bye, and take care.
Yn – Hmm... Bye.
After the call, I noticed everyone in the car staring at me. They didn’t say a word, but their expressions spoke volumes. It felt like they wanted to ask something but held back. Maybe it’s because they don’t want to get too close to me. Or perhaps, like me, they still don’t fully trust this newfound bond between us.
