The group gathers in Taehyung's apartment late into the night, the tension thick but laced with determination. A spread of takeout boxes and half-empty cups of coffee litter the table as they brainstorm their strategy to bring Heyjin down.
The air is filled with quiet murmurs of planning and occasional bursts of energy as an idea sparks.
Taehyung begins, his voice steady but firm, "Heyjin's Achilles heel is her greed. She wants power, and she wants it fast. If we make her believe there's a shortcut to control Bliss or Hyung's, she'll bite."
Jungkook, leaning back on the couch with his arms crossed, nods, his mind already running through possibilities. "We could dangle a fake business opportunity or a forged document in front of her. Something that makes her think she can bypass Taehwan's influence and take control for herself."
Roseanne, sitting cross-legged on the floor with a pen in hand, taps her chin thoughtfully. "She's arrogant and thinks she's smarter than everyone else. If we create a scenario where it looks like she's outwitting Taehwan, she'll take the bait."
Jisoo, who had been quiet until now, leans forward, her eyes sharp and focused. "She won't trust me right now. Not after the confrontation at the mansion. But she doesn't know Taehyung is fully aware of her schemes. Maybe he can play into this."
Taehyung smirks, a glint of amusement in his eyes. "Oh, I'll play. If it means taking her down, I'll make her believe I am on her side."
Roseanne, ever the mood-lifter, grins and quips, "You? Acting like a double agent? Honestly, I am not sure she'd believe it. You have that intimidating CEO aura going on. Maybe try smiling more."
Jungkook snorts. "Yeah, because nothing says trust me like Taehyung flashing a creepy grin."
Taehyung glares at them, but there's a hint of humor in his expression. "I'll have you know, my smiles are charming. They've been described as swoon-worthy."
Jisoo rolls her eyes, suppressing a small smile. "Maybe when you're not trying to look like you're plotting world domination."
Roseanne laughs. "Exactly! You need to tone down the whole 'I am the most powerful man in the room' vibe. Act a little clueless. That'll sell it."
Jungkook jumps in, "Yeah, you should practice now. Let's see your...innocent and clueless face."
Taehyung narrows his eyes. "This is serious. We're trying to take down Heyjin, not audition for a comedy skit."
Jisoo finally chuckles, the sound light and surprising after the heavy days they've all endured. "They're right, though. If Heyjin senses even a fraction of your usual confidence, she'll think something's up."
Taehyung sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. "Fine. I'll work on it. But don't expect me to look like some bumbling fool."
Roseanne grins, raising her hand like she's holding a camera. "We should record this. Behind the Scenes of Taehyung's Acting Debut."
Jungkook laughs. "Don't give her ideas. She'll actually make a behind-the-scenes reel."
Jisoo shakes her head, her amusement giving way to focus. "Let's get back to the plan. We don't have much time, and Heyjin is already suspicious of me. She won't hesitate to act if she thinks she's losing her grip."
Taehyung straightens, his humor fading as he focuses. "You're right. I'll handle the approach. We'll craft the fake opportunity and set the trap."
Jungkook nods. "I'll work on spreading whispers in the business world about a potential investor. That'll put more pressure on her."
