Chapter 7: The Hidden Agenda*

Yoon Na (YN) and Jeon JK's relationship was going strong, with Jennie as their biggest supporter. However, unbeknownst to JK, Rosé harbored secret feelings for him.

Meanwhile, Jeon Jimin and Taehyung were vying for Lisa's attention. Lisa, however, had already chosen Taehyung, leaving Jimin heartbroken.

Lee Victoria, YN's mother, seemed to approve of JK and YN's marriage, but her true intentions remained shrouded in mystery. JK's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jeon, were overjoyed about the upcoming union.

Unbeknownst to the couple, Lee Victoria had an ulterior motive. She had planned a sinister trap, exploiting JK's wealth and family influence.

One fateful night, as the group gathered at the Jeon residence, Lisa arrived with a cryptic warning: "Danger lurks nearby. Be cautious."

Suddenly, armed men stormed the mansion. In the chaos, YN was kidnapped.

"Who's behind this?" JK demanded, frantic.

Lisa sprang into action, showcasing her warrior skills. "I'll find YN. Stay safe!"

As Lisa fought off the attackers, Taehyung and Jimin joined forces to help.

"YN's mother is involved," Lisa revealed, her eyes blazing. "We must rescue YN before it's too late!"

Will JK and his friends save YN? What secrets will be uncovered?

Lisa's brother, Park Namjoon, was a powerful mafia boss, feared by many. His ruthless reputation preceded him. Seokjin, his skilled shooter, was loyal only to Namjoon.

As Lisa fought to rescue YN, she knew she needed backup. She contacted Namjoon, who agreed to help, but at a price.

"Namjoon Oppa, please. YN's in danger," Lisa pleaded.

"I'll send Seokjin. But, Lisa, you owe me one," Namjoon replied, his voice cold.

Seokjin arrived, taking out Lee Victoria's henchmen with ease.

"Where's YN?" JK demanded, impatient.

Seokjin nodded toward the mansion's east wing. "Follow me."

Inside, they found YN, gagged and bound.

"YN!" JK rushed to her side.

Lee Victoria sneered, "You'll never leave this place alive."

Namjoon appeared, flanked by his men. "Mother-in-law, you've overplayed your hand."

Lee Victoria's eyes widened. "Namjoon, you wouldn't..."

"I would," Namjoon said, his gaze icy. "You've threatened my sister and her friends. That's unacceptable."

Seokjin freed YN, while Namjoon's men secured the area.

As they escaped, JK asked, "Lisa, why didn't you tell me about your brother?"

Lisa hesitated. "I wanted to protect you, JK. Namjoon's world is dangerous."

YN grasped JK's hand. "We're in this together, now."

Rosé watched, her feelings for JK intensifying.

Jimin and Taehyung exchanged a knowing glance.

Lisa and Taehyung's relationship blossomed, but a new challenge emerged.

Namjoon summoned Lisa to his office. "Lisa, someone's targeting our business. I need you to investigate."

Lisa nodded, concerned. "Who's behind it?"

"Not sure yet," Namjoon replied. "But I suspect a traitor within our ranks."

Taehyung joined Lisa, and together they delved into the mystery.

As they dug deeper, they discovered a cryptic message:

"Echo-1 compromised. Phoenix rising."

Lisa's eyes narrowed. "This is more than just a business threat."

Taehyung's expression turned grim. "It's personal."

Suddenly, Lisa's phone rang. An unknown number.

"Lisa, you're in danger," a distorted voice warned. "Leave Tae alone, or face consequences."

Lisa's grip on her phone tightened. "Who is this?"

The line went dead.

Taehyung's arms enveloped her. "We'll face this together."

But Lisa's mind raced. Who was behind the threats?

And what did "Phoenix rising" mean?
