Jennie
*Four days later*
I looked on as Hoseok and Hanuel seemed to have gone back to normal. They had spent two days being awkward and avoiding each other. Everyone knew that something was wrong between them but no one knew what – or rather, nobody said, at least not to me. Why would they?
I’m sure the inner circle knew but they did not say anything. Then four days ago, Hoseok and Hanuel both disappeared after a huge fight. I had been passing by the corridor and heard them fight in his room. It had honestly made me blood boil to know she took advantage of him – that she slept with him while he was drunk.
I had hid in the corner and saw her storm out of the room. I was going to go and talk to Hoseok, to check on him and comfort him, but before I could, I saw him storming out as well. I had waited for him to come back that night but neither one of them showed up.
Instead, they showed up the next day, laughing and talking as if the fight never happened. I could tell the others were happy for them as well, but I could not understand how or why.
Now, they were laughing by the pool, having the time of their lives. They were being so loud that I was sure the whole house was hearing them. I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair. I continued making my way to the shooting range.
I stormed inside and put on the headphone and glasses. I grabbed the gun, checked its load and aimed at the human look-alike target. I shot the first one and took a deep breath.
My brain stared thinking of Hanuel. I still don’t understand what is so special about her that she ended up part of the inner circle. I really don’t like her. She was an outsider and just because she saved Myung, she became part of the inner circle. I’ve spent years trying to earn Namjoon’s trust, years trying to make Hoseok notice me but they never did.
All my life I’ve tried to earn everybody’s respect around here but I’ll always be just any other member. I frowned as I imagined the target being her. I shot, one after the other as I filled the figure with bullet holes.
I stopped, feeling out of breath. I removed my headphones just as I heard someone walking behind me. ‘Someone’s *ed off,’ he said as I turned around to find Daniel.
I sighed but did not say anything. Daniel has also been a long-time member of the gang so if anyone understood it would be him.
‘Oh come on Jennie, tell me what’s up? A cute girl like you should not be so upset,’ he said as he went to touch my hair.
I slapped his hand away which caused him to chuckle. ‘Don’t touch Danny boy,’ I said. ‘It’s nothing. I just felt a little angry,’ I said.
‘Is it about Hanuel and Hoseok?’ Daniel asked. I scoffed and he laughed a bit as he crossed his arms across his chest and leaned against his wall. ‘You’re still crushing on him and he barely knows of your existence. That’s sad,’ he said.
‘Shut up,’ I said as I turned my gun towards him. ‘I might just accidentally shoot you,’ I said.
‘Oh come on. You know I’m saying the truth and we both know whose fault that is,’ he said. ‘I just don’t get how she ended up part of the inner circle like that. She’s a *ing Scarlet for *’s sake,’ he said.
‘I know right. I mean Scarlets are all the same – money hungry killers,’ I said, ‘not to mention it was Scarlets who killed his family. How can he even look at her and stand her?’ I said with disgust.
‘You know if you want to gain his attention, you might have to get rid of her,’ Daniel said. I looked at him, eyebrows raised.
‘What are you suggesting? That I kill her and make myself Bangtan’s number one enemy?’ I asked.
‘Can’t you see further then your nose Jennie?’ he asked. ‘Lady Scarlet wants her head. Only reason she hasn’t probably is because she knows it would be difficult with Bangtan’s protection. So what if we bypassed that protection hmm?’ he asked.
‘Ohh make it look like the Scarlets finally got to her hmm,’ I said as a smile started growing on my face.

*The next day*
Most of the boys, Hanuel and I are all heading to the track where the races will be taking place. Everyone is pretty excited, especially those who are going to be taking part in the race.
Once again, Taehyung will be taking charge tonight, acting as leader. As much as we enjoy the races, there is also business going on here. Jordan takes care of this aspect of our business but every now and then we come and do visits ourselves. Firstly, we need to keep everything in check and secondly, we enjoy this. As they say, hit two birds with one stone.
‘Ahhh I’m so pumped for this,’ Jungkook exclaims, with a huge smile on his face.
‘Makes both of us Kooks!’ Hanuel said as she slapped him on the back.
‘Yah don’t forget about me. I’m your freaking partner,’ Hoseok scolded but we could all tell it was a joke. Hanuel laughed as they pretended to fight.
‘God those two better get it on,’ Jin muttered from next to me. I looked at him and arched an eyebrow. ‘What? Don’t tell me you don’t see their chemistry?’ he asked.
‘Ohhh I do trust me,’ I said as I looked at them. ‘I just hope they allow themselves to feel it,’ I said.
‘Yeah I know,’ Jin mumbled. ‘They both can be such stubborn jackasses sometimes,’ he said and I nodded in agreement.
‘Are you two old granspas coming or what?’ I heard Jungkook yell as I rolled my eyes as the two of us hurried to reach the others.
Jordan approaches us and greets us with a big smile. ‘I’m happy to see you here again. It’s been a while,’ he said as he and Taehyung shook hands.
‘Indeed. How are things going here?’ Taehyung asked and Jordan gave two thumbs up.
‘Pretty awesome Mr. Kim. We’ve been getting more and more racers and the betting is going really well. Ratings have gotten even better since we installed the drone system and our police informant helps us to keep things in check,’ Jordan briefed.
‘Good. My hyungs and I would like to stay for a couple of race while the others will be taking part. I want a full report by the time we get to leave,’ Taehyung said.
‘A full report sir?’ Jordan asked, somewhat agitated. Taehyung smirked as he leaned forward, putting a hand on Jordan’s shoulder.
‘If you were doing your job properly, you shouldn’t have trouble to compile everything. The reports should already be there,’ he said.
‘Of—of course. I’ll go get them,’ Jordan said as he bowed down a couple of times while Taehyung straightened up.
‘You really have to do that, don’t you?’ Jin asked, laughing a bit.
‘Do what hyung?’ Taehyung asked while chuckling to himself.
‘Impose your authority,’ I said, ‘but with people like Jordan you have to. He does his work well but always has trouble to keep everything recorded,’ I said shaking his head.
‘Yeah and we all Namjoon loves his paperwork and data,’ Taehyung replied.
‘We’re leaving for the track. You three have fun,’ Hoseok said as he winked at us. Hanuel giggled…she actually giggled as the two of them left, like two secret lovers chasing a new romance.
‘Well those two are excited,’ Jimin commented with a laugh.
‘It’s her first race with Bangtan, although something tells me she’s raced before,’ I said.
‘I agree. I’m just grateful we’re not racing against them. Those two can get pretty crazy,’ Jungkook said.
‘And intense!’ Jimin exclaimed. ‘We ought to go and prepare too,’ Jimin said and Jungkook nodded. We watched the two of them leave towards the tracks while Taehyung, Jin and I sat down, ready to watch the race take place
