7 The Guy From The Bar

Taehyung finally managed to get to the gallery. That bus ride felt like a scene in a comic and Taehyunf felt exhausted. Luckily he wasn't late for his meeting with his "special" client.

When Taehyung entered the building he greeted Mal his secretary before asking for the day's documents.

He strode into his office while going through them. Taehyung was so focused that he didn't notice the person sitting inside. For a few minutes, they sat together quietly, Taehyung working and the other man observing Taehyung.

It's only when Taehyung's phone rings again that the silence is broken.

"Tae-Tae~ Your princess wants your attention~" Jeni's special ringtone rang through Taehyung's office. Jeni was just calling to tell Taehyung about what she ate for lunch and to make sure that he ate. 'At the age of three, she is attentive.' He thought to himself.

It was after the phone call that the man in the office spoke.

"Was that your daughter?"

Taehyung looked up and stared at the man in front of him. "When did he get here", Taehyung wondered.

" I've been here for a while now." The man answered.

"Oh, did I think aloud just now?" Taehyung questioned. The man just nodded.

Taehyung pressed on the intercom and asked Mal to bring some tea. Afterward, he flipped through his documents and found the one labeled "Expensive".

" So, are you Mr. No Name who is interested in buying our Life photograph?" Taehyung asked.

The man just nodded his head. 'So... he admits his name is No Name?' Taehyung was a bit confused but continued anyway.

"Alright so-" Taehyung was cut off by Mal on the intercom.

"Sir, the client for the Life photograph called and said that he's going to be late and would like to reschedule."

'Reschedule... but isn't he right here?' Taehyung looked at the man in front of him. He notices how his features are covered by a face mask. '... f*ck. Raising a kid dulled my senses.' Taehyung understood what was happening here. So he wasn't too surprised when the masked man pulled out a gun and pointed it at him.

"Dude, I don't know why you're here but I have nothing you can rob," Taehyung said leisurely.

"Starling wants to take over this area. You owe Starling protection money." The man said gruffly.

When Taehyung heard what the man said he doubled over with laughter. "Me, owe gang money." He said with mirth.

"Click."

The masked man said nothing more. He simply took off the safety on the gun.

Taehyung raised a brow at how serious this man is. 'I haven't played around in four years. Wonder how much my skill has regressed.' Taehyung cracked his knuckles.

"Hey, ever heard of a fighter called Tiger? " Taehyung slowly walked around his desk toward the man.

"He's known for his ruthlessness and bloodthirst."

The cocked his gun and shot at Taehyung. But he didn't seem to care about the bullet flying towards him. He continued talking.

"Tiger left the gang world to settle down. But rumors have it that he's still bloodthirsty." Taehyung's voice was ice-cold as he spoke.

Before the man knew it, Taehyung had his gun and shot him. As the man felt his life draining away he heard Taehyung say, "Never walk into a Tiger's den."

Taehyung went to go wash his hands. Killing people is dirty work. He called for Mal on the intercom.

"Mal, clean up on aisle one," Taehyung said eyeing the dead body on his floor.
