Scene: Mr. V's Office
In V's mind
She's stuck in my mind like a damn drug. That smile… those lips… her eyes, her scent, even her simple clothes. I didn't even ask her name. What the hell is wrong with me? How will I find her now?
But I will. Even if I have to turn the city upside down. I'll find her.
As he sits lost in thought, staring blankly at the glass wall, Soobin walks in, breaking the silence.
Soobin: Mr. V, sorry to interrupt. There's something urgent from the finance team.
V: Hmm?
Jimin: Someone's thinking real hard and smiling like an idiot. Who is she, huh?
V: Aish, it's nothing, Jimin-shii.
Jimin: Don't play dumb. You were just sitting there like you saw heaven itself.
Just then, Jin and Namjoon enter the office.
V: Great. Now the whole squad is here.
Soobin: Mr. Jin, here's the file you requested.
V: Everything alright?
Jin: Not exactly. You remember Max Swift?
V: The guy who took that 100 million dollar loan and acted like he owned the world?
Jin: That's the one. He's defaulting. We tried reaching out. No replies. It's been weeks.
V: So he took our money, vanished, and thinks he can walk away? You're joking if you think I'm going to invite him for coffee.
Namjoon: V, we should at least try to handle this smartly. Not everything has to end in blood.
V: Hyung… He fooled you. You. That's not business anymore. That's personal.
Jimin: Say the word. I'll call Jungkook and Suga hyung. We'll find him.
V: Do it. I want his location. Tonight.

[Later – Private Lounge]
Jimin: Got him. XXX Alley. House number XX. Looks like he was preparing to run.
V: So the rat's making a move, huh? Let's go give him his final send-off.
Jimin: He messed with the wrong people. Let's end this.

Scene: Night – XXX Alley
V, Jimin, Jungkook, and their men arrive quietly. It's dark. Max is trying to escape with a bag, but V's men grab him and force him onto the road under a dim streetlight.
V: Where do you think you're going, Max?
Max: Please… I didn't mean to run. I was going to pay, I swear! Don't kill me! I have a family!
Jimin: When we called you, you ignored us. When we warned you, you laughed. Now you're begging? Pathetic.
Jungkook: You had your chance, Max. We don't play games. We gave you money. You gave us lies. You really thought we wouldn't come?
V: You're either paying the money… or paying with your life. It's that simple.
Max: I-I swear, I have nothing now. Please. I'll arrange the money somehow. Give me time!
Suddenly, Max shoves V and tries to run. V falls hard to the ground, scraping his palm—blood dripping from his hand.
Jimin: You shouldn't have done that.
Bang.
One shot. Clean. Max falls dead on the spot.
Jimin: Clean the scene. Burn everything. No traces. Fast.
Jungkook: Hyung! Are you okay?
V: It's just blood. I'm fine.
Jimin: No more tough talk. Let's get your hand cleaned before infection sets in.

Scene: Inside the Car – Driving Back
Everyone sits in silence. V leans back in the seat, his hand wrapped in a cloth, blood slowly soaking through.
As they pass through a quiet street, V's eyes narrow. Under a flickering streetlight, he spots a silhouette. The face is shadowed… but the body language, the stance—familiar.
V: Stop the car.
The SUV halts.
Jimin: What is it?
V: That person… I've seen him before. Somewhere.
V squints, staring hard. His lips twitch into a small smirk, but it fades quickly.. his expression turns cold.
V: So it was her..
