Predator
Everything was in its place. At least, that was how it looked to everyone else.
“…”
Jeon Jungkook leaned back lazily in his chair.
“So.”
He asked as he set the documents down.
“You still don’t know where they are?”
“Yes. Since the last confirmed sighting, there’s been no movement.”
“Is that so?”
Jungkook gave a short laugh.
“Good. So they’re alive, at least.”
“……”
”What. You got something else to say?“
His subordinate hesitated for a moment before lowering his head.
“Then get out.”
Only after the door closed did Jungkook set down the documents he’d been holding.
“…”
It was such a strange thing. He had gotten everything he wanted. The organization, the power, even the position he had longed for so badly. And yet, something still felt empty.
“…”
Jungkook sank deep into his chair and let out a bitter chuckle.
“Seriously.”
Seven years. More than enough time to deceive one person. During all those long years, he had never once forgotten his goal. At least, that was what he believed.
“…”
Suddenly, her face at the very end came back to him.
“…”
Jungkook frowned.
“Haa…”
Why was the face he had forced himself to erase only coming back to him now? He irritably closed the documents.
“What a pain.”
-
Bang bang -
Two shots in succession. The gunfire alone was utter chaos.
“…”
The day a rebellion broke out within the organization. The hallway was filled with frantic footsteps and shouts, and rough fistfights were breaking out everywhere.
”……!“
The order of the organization, maintained for so long, was collapsing in an instant.
Some ran away, and some betrayed their comrades to survive. The guys who had been on the same side just hours earlier bared their teeth at one another.
“…”
It was pure mayhem. But to Jungkook, it was hardly a surprising sight. It was already something that had been set in motion.
“…”
The rebellion progressed faster than expected. The organization, which had begun to crack little by little after the woman’s father died, finally split completely that day.
“Boss, it’s going as you said.”
Jungkook simply nodded without any other reply.
“And over there?”
“It seems they still haven’t figured out what’s going on.”
“Is that so?”
A faint smile touched the corner of Jungkook’s lips.
“They really are horribly oblivious.”
Seven years. Time spent at that woman’s side, laughing, talking, and sometimes even staking his life. In all those long years, Jungkook had never once been suspected by her.
She trusted him. Maybe she even thought he was the most trustworthy person in the organization.
What a ridiculous thing. Not knowing that the person kept closest to her was the one who would take everything from her.
“Boss, what do we do now?”
Jungkook slowly stood up.
“What do you mean, what do we do.”
He straightened his clothes and smiled.
“We finish it.”
That day, she lost everything.
The organization her father had left behind, the position she had protected until now, even the people she believed were hers.

The next chapter will unfold from the heroine’s point of view on that day.
