Taehyung took the lead.Taehyung's eyes flashed with a cold intensity as he pulled out a knife from his pocket. The blade glinted in the dim light of the room, casting a sinister glow.
Without hesitation, Taehyung pressed the knife against Jungkook's neck, the metal biting into his skin. Jungkook's eyes widened in fear as Taehyung's gaze bore into his.
"Tell us what we want to know," Taehyung whispered, his breath hot against Jungkook's ear. "Or this won't end well for you."
Jimin's eyes blazed with fury as he saw the blood on Jungkook's neck. His voice dropped to a deadly whisper. "Stop,If you hurt him, I'll make sure every last one of you pays with your life. I'll take down the Shadows, one by one, and no one will be able to stop me."
Taehyung's expression didn't waver, but a flicker of interest danced in his eyes. "Big talk from someone who's currently at our mercy," he said, his voice calm.
RM's gaze locked onto Jimin, his eyes narrowing. "You're either very brave or very stupid," he said, his voice low. "Either way, you're not in a position to make threats."
Jungkook rolled his eyes, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Oh, great, Jimin, because threatening to kill an entire organization is always the best idea."
Jimin's face twisted in frustration. "Why can't you be more serious about this?" he hissed. "We're in a tight spot here."
Jungkook's smirk faltered for a moment, and he leaned in close to Jimin. "You're forgetting one thing, Jimin," he whispered.
Jimin was confused for a second then he suddenly remembered that The shadows don't kill.After that Jimin became relaxed.
The Shadows' members exchanged perplexed glances, their eyes darting between Jungkook and Jimin. They seemed to expect the two to be cowering in fear, but instead, they appeared almost... nonchalant.
RM's brow furrowed slightly, his eyes narrowing. "You're not exactly reacting like typical captives," he observed, his voice measured.
Suga leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together. "Yes, most people would be begging for mercy by now. But you two... you're not even breaking a sweat."
Taehyung's gaze lingered on Jungkook, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "What's your game, huh? You're not as innocent as you seem."
J-Hope's eyes locked onto Jungkook, his mind racing. There was something familiar about him, something that tickled the edges of his memory. And then, it hit him - the voice. Jungkook's voice sounded exactly like the whispers he'd heard in the dark corners of the digital world.
J-Hope's eyes widened in shock as the realization dawned on him. "No way," he breathed, his voice barely audible.
The others turned to him, curious about his reaction. But J-Hope's gaze remained fixed on Jungkook, his mind reeling with the implications.
It couldn't be. But it had to be. The voice, the tone, the cadence - it was all too familiar. Jungkook was one of Korea's top hacker, the one they'd been tracking for months because they wanted to hire him. The one nobody knew, but everyone feared.
J-Hope's eyes bore into Jungkook's, his voice low and intense. "Are you Xavier?" he asked, his words hanging in the air like a challenge.
The room fell silent, the Shadows' members exchanging curious glances. Jungkook's expression remained neutral, but a flicker of surprise danced in his eyes.
RM's brow furrowed, his eyes narrowing. "Who's Xavier?" he asked, his voice sharp.
J-Hope's gaze didn't waver from Jungkook's face. "The one they call Korea's top hacker," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.
The air seemed to vibrate with tension as Jungkook's eyes locked onto J-Hope's, the silence between them thick with unspoken questions.
Jungkook's eyes sparkled with amusement as he leaned back slightly. "Oh, you know me?" he repeated, his voice laced with a hint of curiosity.
J-Hope's gaze remained intense, his eyes searching Jungkook's face for confirmation. "We've been tracking you for months," he said, his voice low. "You're a legend in the hacking world, Xavier."
Jungkook's smirk grew, and he inclined his head slightly. "Guilty as charged," he said, his voice dripping with nonchalance.
The Shadows' members exchanged stunned glances, their minds racing with the implications of Jungkook's identity. RM's eyes narrowed, his expression calculating. "This changes things," he said, his voice measured.
Taehyung's eyes widened in shock, his face frozen in a mixture of surprise and annoyance. He couldn't believe it - Xavier, the elusive hacker he'd been hearing about for months, was actually Jungkook.
As a fan of Xavier's work, Taehyung had always been fascinated by the hacker's skills and exploits. But now, seeing Jungkook in a whole new light, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Jungkook had always been a bit of a thorn in his side, and now it seemed that Xavier was just as infuriating.
Taehyung's gaze narrowed, his eyes boring into Jungkook's face. "You're definitely one for surprises, aren't you?" he muttered, his voice laced with a mix of amusement and irritation
Jungkook's smirk grew, and he leaned back in his chair, looking utterly pleased with himself. "Hey, someone's got to keep things interesting around here," he said, his voice dripping with amusement.
Taehyung's eyes rolled heavenward, and he muttered under his breath, "That's one way to put it."
RM's gaze flicked between Jungkook and Taehyung, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "I think we've got more important things to discuss," he said.
As the Shadows turned to leave as they have to discuss something, Jimin spoke up, his voice firm. "Hey, you're not going to leave us tied up like this, are you? At least let us go."
RM turned back, his expression unreadable. "Why should we?" he asked, his voice neutral.
Jimin's eyes locked onto RM's, his gaze steady. "Because you're not going to get anything out of us if we're tied up. And besides, we're not going anywhere."
The Shadows' members exchanged glances, seeming to consider Jimin's words. After a moment, RM nodded, and Taehyung stepped forward to untie Jungkook and Jimin.
As the ropes fell away, Jungkook stretched his arms, relief etched on his face. "Thanks," he said, his voice sincere.
