Here's the continuation:
The Shadows' members gathered around the large table in the meeting room, their faces serious as they began to discuss the situation. Jin spoke up, his voice urgent.
"We need Jungkook. We've been trying to track him for months because we need his skills. We can't let him go."
RM's eyes narrowed, his brow furrowed in thought. "I agree. Xavier's skills would be invaluable to us. But we need to be careful. He's not going to join us easily."
Suga leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with interest. "I think I can handle him. I've studied his work. I know what makes him tick."
Taehyung raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. "And what exactly makes him tick, Suga?"
Suga's smile was confident. "He's a perfectionist. He wants to make a difference. If we can appeal to that, we might be able to bring him on board."
J-Hope nodded thoughtfully, his eyes fixed on the table. "I think you're right, Suga. But I also think he's motivated by more than just ideals. Based on the information I've gathered about Xavier, he's a mercenary at heart. He only accepts offers with good money."
RM's eyes lit up with interest. "So, you're saying we need to offer him a lucrative deal if we want to bring him on board?"
J-Hope nodded. "That's exactly what I'm saying. Xavier's skills don't come cheap, and he's not going to waste his time on anything that doesn't pay well."
Suga's expression turned calculating. "I think we can work with that. We can offer him a substantial sum of money in exchange for his services."
Taehyung's eyes narrowed, his voice skeptical. "And what makes you think he'll agree to work with us after we've kidnapped him? We're not exactly starting off on the right foot here."
RM leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together. "That's a good point, Taehyung. We'll need to tread carefully if we want to convince Jungkook to work with us. Perhaps we can offer him a chance to work on a project that aligns with his values, in addition to the financial compensation."
Jin's eyes lit up with excitement. "I think I have just the thing. There's a high-profile corporation that's been polluting the local waterways. Jungkook might be interested in taking them down."
Suga nodded thoughtfully. "That's a great idea, Jin. If we can present it to Jungkook in the right way, he might see the value in working with us."
The room fell silent as the Shadows' members considered their plan. After a moment, RM spoke up. "Alright, let's bring Jungkook in and make him an offer. We'll see if he's interested in working with us."
In the basement
Jimin's eyes locked onto Jungkook's, his expression curious. "They probably want you because of your skills. So, what will you do?"
Jungkook's smirk grew, and he leaned back against the wall, a mischievous glint in his eye. "I'll join them," he said, his voice dripping with amusement.
Jimin's jaw dropped, his eyes wide with surprise. "What? You can't be serious!"
Jungkook chuckled, a low, throaty sound. "Why not? It's not every day I get offered a chance to work with a group like the Shadows. And besides, it could be...fun."
Jimin's expression turned skeptical. "Fun?
Jungkook's grin grew wider. "Yeah, I do. And who knows, maybe we can even use them for our own purposes."
Jimin's expression turned puzzled, his eyes locked onto Jungkook's face. "What purpose? What are you talking about, Jungkook?"
Jungkook's smirk grew, and he leaned in, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "You saw Taehyung, the guy who pointed a knife at me? I kinda like him."
Jimin's jaw dropped, his eyes wide with shock. "What?! You can't be serious! He threatened to kill you!"
Jungkook's grin grew wider, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Yeah, I know. But there's something about him...I don't know, he just caught my attention."
Jimin's face turned incredulous. "You're impossible, Jungkook. First, you hack into the Shadows' system, and now you're crushing on one of their members?"
Jungkook's laughter echoed through the basement, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Hey, life is unpredictable, right? And I love surprises."
Jimin's eyes gazed at the spot on Jungkook's neck where Taehyung's knife had pressed, the memory of the moment still vivid. His expression turned serious, and he said, "Be careful, Jungkook. Don't get too close to him. He could hurt you."
Jungkook's smile was gentle, and he nodded, knowing how much Jimin cared for him. "It's okay, Jimin. I can handle myself. Don't worry about me."
Jimin's eyes searched Jungkook's face, his gaze lingering on the faint mark. He knew Jungkook's confidence, but he also knew the risks of getting entangled with someone like Taehyung. Still, he trusted Jungkook's judgment, and he knew that warning him was enough.
The doors creaked open, and the Shadows stepped inside, their eyes scanning the room. Their gazes landed on Jimin and Jungkook, and they froze, taking in the scene before them.
Jimin's eyes glared at the Shadows, his expression fierce and protective, as his hand remained on Jungkook's arm. Taehyung's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze flicking to Jimin's hand on Jungkook's arm, and then back to Jungkook's face.
RM's eyes assessed the situation, his expression neutral. "Looks like we've interrupted something," he said, his voice measured.
Suga's eyes sparkled with curiosity, his gaze bouncing between Jimin and Jungkook. "Yeah, looks like our little hacker has some...attachments," he said, his voice laced with amusement.
Jin cleared his throat, his eyes fixed on Jimin. "Let's focus on the matter at hand, shall we?" he said, his voice calm. "We have a proposal for Jungkook."
Jimin's glare intensified, his eyes flashing with warning. "What proposal?" he asked, his voice low and cautious.
RM's eyes locked onto Jungkook's face. "We've been impressed with your skills, Jungkook. We'd like to offer you a place in our organization. You'll work with us on select projects, and in return, you'll receive financial compensation and...other benefits."
Jungkook's expression remained neutral, but his eyes sparkled with interest. "What kind of projects?" he asked, his voice measured.
Taehyung's eyes never left Jungkook's face, his gaze intense. "Projects that require your...particular set of skills," he said, his voice low. "We'll discuss the details later. But for now, let's just say that we're willing to make it worth your while."
Jimin's grip on Jungkook's arm tightened, his eyes flashing with concern. "Jungkook, don't do anything rash," he whispered.
Jungkook smiled at Jimin.Then said no
Jungkook's words hung in the air like a challenge, and the Shadows' members exchanged shocked glances. Jimin's eyes widened in surprise, his grip on Jungkook's arm loosening in astonishment.
"You're refusing?" RM repeated, his voice incredulous. "Why?"
Jungkook's smile was enigmatic, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I don't think I'm a good fit for your organization," he said, his voice light.
Suga spoke "You're making a mistake, Jungkook. We can offer you a lot more than just money."
Jungkook's shrug was dismissive. "I'm not interested."
The room fell silent, the Shadows' members stunned by Jungkook's refusal. Jimin's eyes searched Jungkook's face, trying to understand what was going on in his mind.
Then all of a sudden Jungkook said that he might accept it but with one condition.
The Shadows' members exchanged curious glances, their interest piqued. RM leaned forward, his eyes locked onto Jungkook's face. "What condition?" he asked, his voice measured.
Jungkook's smile was mischievous, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I want Taehyung to be mine " he said, his voice low and husky.
The room fell silent, the Shadows' members stunned by Jungkook's request. Taehyung's eyes widened in surprise, his face inches from Jungkook's. "Me?" he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.
Jimin's eyes narrowed, his expression concerned. "Jungkook, what are you doing?" he whispered, but Jungkook just smiled, his eyes never leaving Taehyung's face.
