Chapter 10

Sierra's POV

Instead of heading back to Jin's place we go to Suga's. There were indeed three other men with Suga and Namjoon. There were tall and attractive but otherwise different. Jin places his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into him. I'm not sure if it was for him or me, but it is comforting to me.

"My dear brothers, this is Sierra. She is my new assistant." I just barely kept myself from turning into him. To hide from all the attention, I was getting. It was time for me to be a big girl and stop being scary. Standing up straight I put my hand out to greet his brother.

"Sierra, you've met Suga, Jimin, and Namjoon. This is Hoseok." He pointed towards the tall one with a contagious smile. "Hi Sierra, it's nice to meet you. You can call me Hobi." As I shook his hand I was introduced quickly to the next one.

"This is Taehyung. He brought us the car." He pointed to a man with the most expressive eyes and bright blue eyes I had ever seen. "Hello. You may call me Tae." His voice damn. Jin takes me by my shoulders and turns me to the next one, but not before giving his brother a rather mean look. All he got for his troubles was a laugh.

"And this is the baby Jungkook." I am not sure what the Korean definition of a baby is, but this is not mine. The man looks like an angel, but his smile tells me something else. "I may have a babyface, but I assure you I am a grown-ass man." He takes my hand and kisses the back of it. Earning a slap to the back of Jungkook's head.

"I assure you that you will never be old enough. You may call this goofball Kookie." Jungkook laughed and I could tell they take great pleasure in giving their brother a hard time. I find comfort in this. I wish my family was like this.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, gentlemen," I say with a smile. "So now that you have met most of our family are you gonna tell us about you or are you going to make us figure it out on our own." What is it that they want to know about me that I haven't already told them? The look on Suga's face tell me he already knows something just wants to know if I will admit it or not. Honesty is the best policy. I mean the worst they can do is kill me.

"Not much to tell. I can hack almost anything. I am great with Knives. Not as good with a gun but I can hit my target. I can't cook worth a damn. I have more than a few people that can't stand me and more than a few that want me." It is as honest as I can be without knowing what they are looking for.

They all looked around, but Jimin spoke first. "She is definitely as good or better than Jin with a knife." I looked over at Jin expecting him to be offended, but he wasn't. He appeared proud as he nodded his head. "You should have seen how she pinned that man to the wall. He will never look at another woman the same way. The fear in his eyes was classic." With a small smirk, he looks at his other brothers.

"Not liked but wanted. That describes all of us in this room too." Suga said with a smile. "You are such a nice person, who wouldn't like you?" It must be the cooking thing. That can be a deal-breaker for some people." He rubs my shoulder. Honestly, I can get used to him touching me like this. It feels so right. If I am being honest with myself. I miss having someone touch me like this.

Time for some more honesty with them. "I wish it was the cooking. I left the United States to avoid an arranged wedding. I may or may not have, accidentally on purpose sent a file to the FBI and had my intended arrested." I blush as they look at me. I am not blushing because I regret my decision but because it is a redacted version of the truth. The real truth I will take with me to the grave if I can.

I can tell by the look on Namjoon's face that he knows I am leaving out some information. His eyes are sharp, and I can tell he did some looking into me. I can also tell he is not sorry I know he did it. How do I know you may ask? It was his big ass grin with his dimples on full display as he speaks to me.

"Sorry Sierra, I did a little research on you. I had to know more about the person helping my brother. While I was looking I found out there is a hit out of you and a recovery request for you." Is he gonna turn me in? I am upset that I would allow myself to get into a situation like this. I have been running for a long time. Staying under the radar working lower-profile jobs.

"So do you plan to turn me in?" I know my anger is clearly written on my face. If they can't read it on my face, it is clearly in my voice. I don't care. I have been living here minding my own business for a long time. I have no intention of going back. "Calm down we would never do that to you. I just wanted you to know. And the FBI was a nice touch." Joon looked at me with a smile and it made me feel a little better.

The others looked confused, but don't say anything while Joon is talking. He just gave a silent nod like there was no issue. The more I think about it I am pissed. I can't believe that little shit put a hit out on me. I am so not done with him. Suga smiles at me and says, "Well I for one am glad that you are on our side."

Jin is looking at me with a look that tells me he has bad news. The kind of bad news that I am not going to like. "Baby girl I know you just want to go home, but I don't think it is safe. Not even with Sampson." Before I can protest he places his hand on my shoulder. "Look I know you are more than capable of taking care of yourself. You have been doing it for a very long time and quite well."

"I know your family has something to do with a gang in the States. But I assure you the Korean Mafia is nothing like them. We are much worst and people know you are with us. I'm not sure who put a hit out on you, but we will take care of it." Rolling my eyes, he clearly has no idea who I am and what I can do. I hate to be underestimated. I can take care of myself.

"Just stay and let us help you. Once I know you're safe you can go back to doing your own thing. I would feel responsible if something happen to you." I get a warm feeling at the thought of someone wanting to take care of me. I am not used to that.

"Just stay and let us help you. Once I know you're safe you can go back to doing your own thing. I would feel responsible if something happen to you." I get a warm feeling at the thought of someone wanting to take care of me. I am not used to that. I look around and I can see they all feel the same way. Basically, is not a request.

"So what do I need to do to get back to my regular life?" I guess I need to find a new job. Great, I hate job interviews.

"You will keep working for me, for now. And it's time to go." He stands up and walks to the door without so much as a goodbye to his brothers. As we ride in the car my brain starts to go into overdrive. I have no idea who these people are. How am I supposed to trust them with my life?

"As soon as we get back to the cabin, I will answer all of your questions." It bothers me that he didn't even look at me when he spoke. All I can see is that sharp ass jawline of his while I stare at his profile. Eventually, I remember my manners and turn away but not before noticing his cocky little grin. I have put my trust in a man I haven't known even six months. I am feeling so stupid. He won't even look at me while he is driving.

We pull into the driveway we get out of the car. As soon as Jin opens the door I head straight to my dog. Sampson is my safe space. Hugging him can make my world feel right no matter what chaos is going on in my life. I know I can trust Jin because Sampson trusts him.

Hello beautiful people. I hope to get back on a regular schedule. I will be updating every Wednesday.

"Those who keep trying without giving up and the those that succeed." Jin
