10 Task #2: Getting in the Gang.

For the next five days, Naeun stayed inside her room planning out her mission and which step she should take next. The guys were busy with their gang stuff but they would provide her with food and space, which she was grateful for. They were serious in their business and would always work hard but when they came home Naeun couldn't believe that they were the same guys who were responsible for several deaths.

The next day, 11:00 a.m.

Naeun woke up and looked at the time on the clock.

"I need food~" Her stomach moaned and Naeun sighed in defeat.

"Ok, I'll go and feed you then, you hungry monster."

She got up and left the room in search of food. Opening the cupboards, one by one, in the kitchen she found a box of cookies and went to the living room to eat them. She was surprised when she found Taehyun already sitting on the sofa and the Jaemin guy watching TV.

Minjoon was sitting opposite Taehyun and was working on his mobile and Jinhyun entered the room through the main door. They weren't around much so Naeun was mostly alone in the house. Currently she only cared about feeding her stomach so she went and sat down next to Taehyun. All eyes went to Naeun as soon as they noticed her.

"Hey, isn't that your cookies Taehyun?" Jaemin said pointing at the box of cookies Naeun had opened.

Taehyun glanced at Naeun and then back to his phone. "It's ok she can eat them."

Naeun was now starting to feel awkward. They all, except Taehyun, were staring at her wide-eyed making her feel uncomfortable.

"Um, what are you guys doing today? Aren't you going to work? Like doing gang stuff?" she asked.

"Today we rest and do stuff that normal people do. We sit and think and wonder about unusual things." Jinhyun spoke glancing back to forth between Naeun and Taehyun.

"Unusual!" exclaimed Jaemin. "Unusual things like how Taehyun is acting around you. He once threatened to kill me when I touched that box of cookies. This behavior towards you is way too unusual. I just keep wondering who you are."

"I know," Minjoon said staring straight at Naeun. "I know exactly who she is."

Oh shit! If they find out who I am, my funeral will be held today.

"Me? Then who am I?"

"Park Naeun, aged 19. Mom died when she was born and her father died when she was 4. Then Han Byeong-Cheol adopted her. She was then sent to a boarding school at the age of 10 and then she came back but lived separately. She then graduated high school at 18 and went to college at 19 which she is now. Her step-father wanted her to marry so he made her drop out of college. This is where our boss comes in who she met when they both were working at the same part-time café. Our little brother started to take interest in her. He also rescued her from the wedding and brought her here and here she has been staying till now."

Naeun stared at him shocked. Taehyun was staring at Naeun the whole time while Jinhyun and Jaemin were both sitting there, mouths opened wide.

Is he a human computer or something?

"Wow..." Jaemin whispered.

"Naeun, you never told me about your past," Taehyun said staring at her. 'Why didn't you tell me?"

Handsome, brainless idiot, you never cared to ask!

"You never asked and it didn't matter."

"Well, it matters to me."

"You know I don't open up that easily and I don't like to talk about myself."

'She's right." Minjoon said once again out of nowhere. "She didn't even open up to her middle school friend Misty."

At this Naeun started choking on her food. Taehyun helped her drink water, caressing her back. After calming down she looked up at Minjoon.

'How much do you know?"

"Well, you were interested in your school teachers and mostly basketball players in your high school."

"You had a thing for teachers Naeun?" Taehyun asked smirking.

Oh hell no!

"N-no I just liked the basketball players. How much have you found out? Do you know about my high school enemy too?"

"Oh Hyuna."

"What about my current best friend?"

"Uhh...I don't know. I'm not that interested in your life."

"Well you know more about me than I know myself." Joked Naeun, but she realized that she was not supposed to take that Minjoon guy lightly. If she didn't manage her fake identity she was going to be dead in a few days.

"Of course! We are the Bulletproof gang. The biggest and most feared gang in the whole of Asia." Stated Jaemin proudly.

Yup you sure are! Couldn't even find out my real identity...

'Yeah, that's why I was thinking if you could do me a favor. Can you teach me gang stuff?"

At this, they stared at her for a second before bursting into laughter. Even Taehyun broke out a laugh.

'Naeun you are just a little girl who knows nothing about the world we live in. And I don't want you to know." Taehyun said.

Little girl? Jerk, I could twist your neck into two if I got the chance.

"But I want to help you. You all helped me in getting me out of my forced wedding. You helped me escaped my foster family and also gave me shelter and a place to live in which I'm grateful for. I don't want to be a burden for you all, especially for you." Naeun argued, glancing at Taehyun in the last sentence.

They all looked at each other and Naeun thought they must have figured out something at last.

"You aren't a burden for me Naeun," Taehyun said facing her again.

"But I know how to fight. I can fight. I am a black belt in karate and also good at defending myself."

I can break ribs into 2 you know?

"She's right. She learned karate at the age of 16." Minjoon clarified.

16.5 actually...

'Fine then." Taehyun said and signaled his guards to do something.

A minute later two black bodyguards appeared dragging in a man who Naeun recognized at once. It was a police officer but what frightened her was that he knew her. He and his team had lend a hand in her previous case. The police officer looked up and narrowed his eyes at Naeun. Taehyun stepped forward and placed a gun in her hand.

"Why? What am I supposed to do with this?"

"You wanted to join the gang so you have to kill this man."

I should've known.

Naeun stepped forward and placed her hand on the trigger. He had to die. He knew about her identity.

"Wait- you are..."

"I am sorry but I have to do this."

Naeun got ready to press the trigger but some seconds passed and she still couldn't shoot him. She lowered the gun and the man leaped forward to grab it but Naeun was quick enough to dodge his attack and hit his head with the gun making him faint. Jinhyun whistled and started clapping.

"Not what we wanted but still impressive," he said looking at the panting Naeun.

"I am sorry but I can't kill an innocent man who didn't do anything."

"So you are saying that you'll kill someone who isn't innocent?" Taehyun asked.

"I'm not sure."

"Well he isn't innocent," said Jaemin grabbing the gun from Naeun's hand. "He was our spy in KIA but he betrayed us and leaked our information to them. He deserves to die." And with that said, he shot the man on his forehead.

Naeun made a face and turned around, going up to her room as she had to act it was her first time seeing someone get killed.

"Has potential but can't kill someone. Pity," Said Minjoon, getting up.

"We could place her in the planning department. Since Jungwoo is not here we need someone reliable to cover up for him. And she is right. It must be boring to stay in the house the whole day, doing nothing."

"If she is reliable, that is."
