Taehyung heard some voice from one room and decided to look into that room when he opened he saw siting in the floor. When he looked to the wall he understood it is one of the girls room as it was filled with pictures of the teins and the one is aera. He gone near her and called her.

Aera: oppa?

Taehyung: ehy why are you siting in the floor?

Aera: simply.

Aera nodded

Taehyung: don't worry I will ask my people to search for her tomorrow morning.

Aera: she always used to come in the morning. But this time she didn't.

Aera: unnie and appa argued yesterday night and it was a little too much heated as he said about her attitude which obviously is not her fault unnie is just born like that and unnie gone out and we thought she may have go to your house and will come at morning like always.

Taehyung: what do you mean by always?

Aera: it's not the first time.

Taehyung: what? But she never came to my house before after arguing or something.

Aera: then where she used to go at night then this may be a 50th time this is happening.

Taehyung: I have no idea

Aera: also you said you guys didn't meet each other for 2 weeks but unnie has always been going out these last week so much and been telling me that you guys went for date and all.

Aera: I don't know why but I feel a little too much scared.

Taehyung: yah you can just sleep we will find her don't worry.

Aera: yah .

Aera: actually this is not my room this is unnie's.

Taehyung: really? But I thought she doesn't like to have pictures on the walls

Aera: yah she doesn't like but I like.

-------at morning-----

Tae work up and looked at the pictures in the walls

He heard a knock on the door.

Aera: good morning appa eomma asked you to come to eat breakfast.

Taehyung: wait I will come now .

Aera noticed a book in tae's hand

Aera: yah you are looking at our childhood pics

Taehyung: yah I was just. You guys look so similar that I couldn't understand.

Aera: look the one in red is aira and in yellow it's me.

Aera said by putting finger on the pic.Taehyung first looked at aera confused then smiled understanding something.

Taehyung: yah I see.

--------after 7 months----

-----at their house----

Aera came from her university and she saw her eomma ,appa and her uncles . They all where siitting in couch. She didn't mind them and was about to go upstairs when

Eomma: Dear eat something you didn't eaten anything since morning.

Aera:I don't want eomma.

Appa: Princess we have something to tell u right now.

Aera: yah I will come at least let me get freshen up.

Appa: no princess this is so important

She was about to sit at the couch 🛋️ when suddenly

Taehyung: uncle don't you think it's too fast?

Taehyung entered with so many bodyguards along with jimin. His voice was filled with coldness. all were shocked to hear this voice of his especially aera who has only known the playful poppa of hers.

Appa: taehyung?

Taehyung: yah it's me itself.

Suddenly the black dressed bodyguards came near aera

Aera: oppa what's going on?

She came near her smirking and patted her head

Taehyung: so innocent kid don't you think it's your time to grow some?

Appa: Kim taehyung what are you planning to do?

Appa said in a little voice raise. Coming near them.

Taehyung: to be frank making your so called daughter whom you are proud to know some truth which she has the rights to know

Taehyung: to be frank making your so called daughter whom you are proud to know some truth which she has the rights to know.

Aera: what is oppa talking about? Eomma

Eomma: it's nothing princess. Taehyungaa please think twice son.

Appa: please don't do anything with your anger.it will lead to mistakes.

Taehyung: anger? Is not that which leaded to Aira's missing? If only you had a little patience my girlfriend would never have gone missing. You were so angry that time and made mistake now let me too do it.

Taehyung grabbed Aera's hand and was about to drag her but suddenly Appa came and stopped him

Appa: don't touch her what you have is with me not her leave her alone

Taehyung: but you know what I also thought like but she has something when I saw her yesterday when she was attending her class I noticed she was just like aira so I thought of making her my aira who saved me .

Appa was left speechless aera's eye was wide open.

Aera: let me go oppa.

She was trying to free from his grip

Appa: let her go Kim

Taehyung: if you two dare to move look behind before you guys do it.

When we turned back there was a man holding his gun on eomma's head. Aera was so shocked and Appa was too.

Aera: o.ppa you are a

He put his one hand on her mouth .He just smirked and said

Taehyung: there is a lot of time for you to know me princess. Now let's go.

He just tightened his grip on her hand and dragged her to the car and made her sit in the front seat . She was crying hard  then he said.

Taehyung: you know something? What I hate the most the sound of the cry and you know what will happen if you cry more.

When she understood what he meant she grabbed her shirt hard to stop her cry.

——— in front of his house——

Taehyung's pov

When I looked to the next seat I saw her sleeping I smiled knowing that I can try to replace aira with aera and I will not feel regret of not protecting her anymore.
I called her twice but she was not waking up so I decided to carry her.

—— at bedroom—

Aera woke up and looked her surroundings and saw

Aera: o..ppa.. you

When he came near she started to go back and when she reached at the end of the bed

Taehyung: now where are you going to go?

Aera: where is this ?

Taehyung: my house

Aera: what?

he just sat on the bed looking at her with emotionless face.

Aera: oppa there must be something wrong with you. Why did you brought those people into our house? Why did you let them point gun at my mom ? Why ? Why are you talking in this tone? this is not you there must be really something going on. You really love and see my eomma as yours too right? Why you disrespected my Appa ?why you threaten him?

There was no emotions on taehyungs face he was just staring at aera blankly.

Aera: Are you not feeling well?

Aera's builded some courage and touched his forehead like taehyung was waiting for it he just took her hand and dragged her to the next room there was so many screens  and felt like it is a camera visual of somewhere so familiar

Aera: this is ?

Taehyung: your Appa's showroom's inside view

Aera's pov

One screen showed some workers carrying something and to a truck. one the 2nd screen it was

Aera: gun? I don't believe this this is fake I know

Taehyung: jimin come inside

Jimin came inside

Taehyung: your cousin wants to talk to you

Saying that taehyung went outside

Aera: I don't have anything to talk to you you can go.

He came near aera and

Jimin: aera listen

Aera: i will not

Jimin: you must accept what you saw. Don't escape from the reality.

Aera: so this is true ?

Jimin: yah he is not at all a business man he is a business man but not of cloth brands like what public knows he is the one who export weapons like guns etc from Russia to Korea.

Aera: so you're telling the whole like what I heard is a lie?

Jimin: yah he was lying and your unnie and eomma too they were just hiding the truth from you.

Aera: it's not the truth. They will not lie

Jimin: look at the third camera

Aera: it's not appa.

Jimin: its him.

Aera: oppa please take me away from this room

Jimin: come with me

They went to the room where she woke up.

Jimin: now listen to me will you?

Aera: no you are lying you guys are all liars leave me alone . I want to go to my house please let me go.

She covered her ears with her hands. Not being able to process anything that is happening here.

Jimin sighed and decided to go out.

She was sitting on a corner of the room crying in a mess covering her ears with her hands.

Aera: no it's not the truth aera don't listen to them.

She was continued telling that but when she linked everything together she understood that appa is a weapon dealer.

This is why he never took me inside the showroom and that's why he always goes to Russia 🇷🇺 so much . Really they all hided these from me this is why unnie said I have many things to know. Suddenly I thought of that person who even had the power to threat my father then who is he?

Suddenly I heard footsteps coming near me I just stayed still I know this is HIM.

He just bended at my level and hooded my chin really hard and made me look at his

Taehyung: so shocked to hear about your appa princess?

Aera: it's hurting.

Taehyung: I know it will hurt.

I quickly runs near the door but when I saw taehyung not moving at all I felt why he didn't stopped me but I just shrugged the thought and tried to open the door. but the lock on the up has been put. Then realisation hit me I can't open it as I couldn't reach there. When I looked back I saw

Taehyung coming near me.I don't know what I should do then I said.

Aera:it is illegal to lock a girl in one room without her permission I will call police.

Taehyung: can everyone you could think of.]

With that he gave me his phone. My hands were shaking as he came nearer and nearer to me. I felt like no one can help me then I dialled to police but

Man: Mr. Kim how can we help you?

I immediately cuts the phone when I looked I saw him smirking at me.

Aera: w..ho are ..you?

Taehyung: you want to know?

Aera: i..

Taehyung: someone who you are so familiar with someone who you talk a lot about someone who scares you a lot someone who you hate a lot.

Aera: I don't understand

He came near my ears and whispered

Taehyung:the day your unnie set you one a date

—flashback—
Taehyung: blind date?

Ayra: yas I arranged her one for today .and also he is a nice guyu know
And he is a friend of taehyung too

taehyung: my friend? How come I never know

Aera: oppa's friend ?

Ayra: yah your best friend and also why I should tell you everything

Taehyung: leave it. What's his name?
             
Ayra: jungkook

Aera: nice name but is he a mafia

Taehyung: yes what?

Aera: unnie I told you I will never ever date a mafia let alone be friend

Ayra: there are nice guys too

Taehyung: wait why u don't date a mafia?

ayra: obviously she is afraid of blood weapon and this girl believe every rumour

Aera:its not rumour unnie also I heard that mafia's even have their own king and he is so emotionless and he had killed so many people recently and he is so heartless

Ayra: wow really I may just be a rumour girl (trying not to laugh seeing tae's face)

Taehyung: from where did you heard these?

Aera: from University friends.

Taehyung: maybe he is a nice guy

Aera: of course not. If he is nice why he have to kill people?

Taehyung: maybe they are bad guys?

Aera: no matter what he shouldn't. i hate guys like that also I'm not going to that blind date I rather die single than dating a mafia

Aera: i..

Taehyung: mafia king.

She fell on the floor and started to cry he picked her and made her sit on the bed and said.

Taehyung: now you know me and know how much I can do your appa and eomma safety lies in your Hand if you stay here as a good girl and behave like aira that's good or else you know what is going to happen. Now sleep. Good night

He kissed my forehead and gone
