" Just like the Angel... The Devil was so ready to do everything for his Angel...just to make him happy,to make him smile. "

« Flash Back »

" Ahh no! " a twelve years old Jungkook groaned in immense pain as he himself had to push the injection needle in his hand . The syringe was filled with a different kind of drug from yesterday. Same pain, different day. Did he want it ? No. But he had to do it.

The two much skilled 12 year old had to go through all the drug tasting process in his own body before it gets proceeded to import. He knew it wasn't needed to do with him but they wanted to see how much pain he can bear. How can he not die. Now he was quite used to it.

Groaning in the pain in his veins, Jungkook sat down on the floor beside the table. This drug effect was really getting high on him cause he hasn't eaten anything for 2 days nor had the time to sleep. His eyes were blur, breathing was uneven. He hated it, hated it too much but still....he had no tears, no Feelings. He just knew , he has to do it.

" He's still a child. This much drugs can just kill him any moment. " a person said looking on the screen of laptop and turned his gaze towards the mafia boss.

" He will not die. " the mafia boss said with a chuckle and shut off the laptop.

" If he was meant to die, he would have died in the first place with his parents. He would have died on the road afterwards. He would have died in hunger, thirst or pain. He would have died when he went to his first mission and got shot . He would have died when others tried to poison him. Shoot him, stab him or whatever. Nothing works on him. " the mafia boss said chuckling ominously.

" then he's an absolute threat ! He can harm Namjoon and Kai ! Why did you let him enter here then ? He can kill you too ! " the other man said with a worried voice.

" He isn't a Betrayer. He's loyal but in a different way. Namjoon and Kai? They'll be alive till they're loyal. Either this twelve years old is going to rip apart their throats. " the mafia boss said sipping on his drink.

" I don't know if you are getting insane or not . " the other man said.

" I'm not . I saw the devil in his eyes. An emotionless devil incarnate. And I'll give him every possible pain to turn him into the pain himself. I'm tired of seeing people hurt and crying. He's a different species. I'll see how much he can bear. " the Mafia boss laughed before exciting the room.

Jungkook didn't know for how many hours he was blacked out. After Waking up from his dazed off state ,he exited the room with his stone cold face. The mansion was not silent at all like everytime. The men looked at him. Everyone knew this young boy wasn't someone whom they should look at with insulting eyes. Some were too scared and maintained their distance while some were envious. Here and there Jungkook fought with death every single day.

But he had some scary spell around him. He doesn't talk yet had powerful hegemony over people who worked with him.

Taking the huge leather bags with him, Jungkook walked down the stairs and his worshippers silently following him without any words. Yes, this much dominance he held even when he was 12. Well, his age was actually a number for him. The innocence and childhood was no where near him anymore.

" Where is Taehyung ? " Jungkook asked to no one in particular, knowing anyone will answer.

" He still hasn't returned from school . But a car is already there to pick him up. He had his lunch with his friends and they're planning to have a party tonight in escala club. " A man said all the needed details .

" I want few of you to accompany him to his party. Secretly. If he asks for me, tell him I'm off to somewhere for studies tonight. " Jungkook said without even looking at anyone and they nodded before following Jungkook out of the mansion. Their destination, another huge shipment of drugs.

Nope, 13 years old Taehyung still didn't know what his Best friend has been doing for two years. He was provided with luxury and comfort. Which was in the cost of Jungkook's foods , shelter and life. Taehyung knew Jungkook does something for the owner of this house and Jungkook studies in different school, lives just like him .

While Jungkook never told Taehyung about anything nor let any harm to reach his best friend.

Third Person's POV

" So the thing I wanted to say is, Thank you for everything. " Jungkook said shocking Taehyung to the point that he almost let out a scream of disbelief.

Taehyung's eyes widened in utter surprise as he stared at Jungkook who looked pretty calm , sitting there on the couch with a straight face.. like he didn't just say " Thank you ". A single simple and easy sentence, thank you...but Jeon Jungkook saying it !? Like what in World ?

" I.. I don't understand...did I do something wrong ? I'm sorry.. tell me I will - " Taehyung was rambling and Jungkook just shook his head. To be honest this sudden normal demeanor was scaring Taehyung too much. Like what was happening ?

" Why would I say thank you if you did something wrong ? I don't think people says thank you for that reason." Jungkook said still looking at Taehyung which made the other more restless.

" I'm saying thank you because I'm thankful to you. What else ? Thanks for being my best friend even when I was always absent in my part. " Jungkook said and Taehyung was too stunned to speak. He opened his mouth to say something but could utter nothing. Was he listening everything perfectly ? Was he dreaming or something ? Jungkook was saying what ?

" Jungkook I...you... wha- " Taehyung couldn't say anything. All these years, he has lost his way of talking to Jungkook. This is the boy who was so talkative with him once, would play with him for all day, was scared of blood, was too kind hearted...and now a single thank you sounded so different from his mouth.

" You don't need to say something. I know well what I'm saying. And if you can, please forgive me for all the things I said. You're nothing like your parents. You're Kim Taehyung. My Best friend. I don't care about any other identity. " Jungkook said and Taehyung's eyes glistening up. The happiness, the Emotions were too strong to hold back now. Taehyung so wanted to stand up and hug Jungkook . Who would believe what Taehyung was feeling now ? Hearing now ?

Jungkook was apologising ? For whom ? Voicing out his real thoughts for whom ? For the person for whom he'll willingly do anything without thinking for once. Jimin.

" Yo-you'll always be my Best friend...no m-matter what Jungkook... Don't say you weren't there. You always were there for me, for us. Just the distance between us was so vast. " Taehyung said, his voice shaking . Just not because Jungkook was saying all these and making his heart swell... it's also because he knew who was behind this.

Taehyung knew who caused Jungkook to do this. It is the person who promised him that he'll bring his bunny best friend back. Jimin.

" Whatever it is Tae ... thank you. Thank you so much. Just know that I didn't forget all the things you did for me. Without you, I wouldn't have survived alone . Without you... I wouldn't have found the reason for wanting to live again. " Jungkook said getting up while Taehyung was having inner collision .

Hot tears beamed down from Taehyung's eyes... Jungkook called him " Tae " after Fifteen damn years. He couldn't hold back those pearl like tears cause he knew well what Jungkook meant with that last sentence.

The reason for wanting to live again. Jimin. So , Jungkook was willingly accepting this infront of Taehyung who once thought Jungkook will never return Jimin's love.

Once again, Taehyung understood there's nothing in Jungkook's life. Everything was centred on Jimin now. His thoughts were right.... He'll be not able to save Jungkook if something happens and which was bound to happen now.

Jungkook walked infront of Taehyung and the later stood up. The older's heart beat was too fast.

Taehyung couldn't believe his own blurry eyes when he saw the little smile on Jungkook's lips. The real smile. The sweetest smile of his best friend which he saw years ago.

" And remember, you're still an alien." Jungkook said before Taehyung got pulled into a hug .

Taehyung gasped, still not blinking, his mouth open in shock. Jungkook was hugging him ? Those words.... It's.. it's his lost best friend... it's the Jeon Jungkook Taehyung has lost to Destiny. It's the Jeon Jungkook whom Taehyung called Best friend.

Taehyung hugged back instantly and possibly hugged harder and didn't stop his tears. He was crying, on Jungkook's shoulder , his best friend...

Taehyung bit his lip to silence his sobs . Jungkook didn't know what to do. What he said was all true, they're the words he had in his heart. He didn't know it'll make Taehyung cry like this...... Was it that unexpected ?

Jungkook patted Taehyung's back without knowing what storm was going inside Taehyung.

How could Taehyung misunderstand Jungkook ? How could he think that Jeon Jungkook had no emotions anymore and ...

how could he possibly tell Jungkook that " For whom you're changing, for whom you're doing all this, for whom you're fighting with your own demons, whom you're calling your reason of life ... Is dying !? Destiny is taking him away too !? "

People doesn't understand. They always wants a conclusion without trying to feel what the protagonist is feeling. They always wants the same thing to repeat without understanding the meaning of every relationship.

Taehyung once saw the death of his best friend's soul , he can't anymore. This time he can't hurt Jungkook.

No Taehyung couldn't....he promised to himself that he'll give Jungkook his Jimin , safe and healthy. Jungkook deserves it. And Taehyung himself will do it. It's the best thing he could do for both of his dearest persons.

Finally when they broke the hug, Taehyung sniffed,wiping away his tears , the first thing they saw was , Jimin, standing halfway on the stairs , smiling ear to ear with his eyes disappearing. He looked so happy just like what he felt.

Jimin couldn't see something that can make him more happy than this now. It was like a surprise gift to him. Jungkook listened to him.

" Jiminah.... " Taehyung's lips quivered as he saw the younger smiling all brightly, shinning their life and himself walking towards the dark.

" Tae Tae ! " Jimin called happily and almost ran down the stairs , his face bright with so much happiness. He so wanted to learn what conversation happened between his lover and brother but right now the only thing mattered to him was this moment.

Jungkook watched as Jimin ran to Taehyung with a smile and hugged him with Taehyung still shedding droplets of fresh tears.

Jungkook felt happy...so happy to see the smile on Jimin's face. The fulfillment in his smile, the beautiful eyes turned into crescents... Jungkook knew, it was the smile of Jimin's utmost happiness.

Jungkook never felt this much of winning sensation in his veins before. Nope, never. When he won all the challenges ? No. When he aced in the studies ? No. When he became the same ruthless monster he wanted to be ? No. When he sat in the throne of power and darkness ? No. When he got the hold of the money Empire ? No. Best businessman ? No. Getting everything and everyone in a flick of seconds ? No. When he killed Park Jay ? Not at all.

Jungkook was never happy before Jimin.

Jimin's smile was something that made Jungkook feel like he won. Was he responsible for this smile ? Yes and Jungkook couldn't feel more contented than this.

He couldn't put the words properly... what Jungkook couldn't put in words were ,

" Jimin was his happiness. Without Jimin there was no Jeon Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook relieved through the touches of his Black Rose."

" When did you come here Tae Tae ? "
Jimin asked still smiling when he pulled out from the hug.

" He came here early in the morning for some important works Dollie. I needed some informations about something. " Jungkook lied suddenly holding Jimin's hand and pulling him closer . He lied cause he knew the younger's bright mood will be dulled down because of the actual reason and incidents.

Taehyung blinked rapidly and digested the lie with a small smile before nodding.

.
.
.

Jungkook was driving with Jimin beside him and Taehyung was in the passenger seat watching the too often eye contacts between Jungkook and Jimin. More like Jungkook looking at Jimin every other minute.

To be honest Jungkook was pissed inside now. Jimin wanted to go to university today and he couldn't say no to Jimin's face even when he wanted to. He can't possibly make Jimin sad. But what about the uneasiness of not having Jimin close to him in his veins ? Even this simple thing was now scaring Jungkook...he has to stay without Jimin for the entire day ?

Taehyung was just watching silently... The two infront of him were falling in the depth of love together now ... weren't they ? The once emotionless eyes of Jungkook now looked so bright whenever he looked at Jimin. He looked so lost while looking at Jimin that it almost looked like Jungkook wouldn't breathe without Jimin.

.
.
.

" Bye Tae Tae ! I'll see you soon ! " Jimin said as he was done unlocking his seat belt. Well, as usual crowd was outside, watching Jeon Jungkook dropping his Black Rose to university once again.

Kai and Jimin's body gaurds or his group of killers were standing outside the car to walk Jimin to his class.

" Be safe okay Jiminie ? Call me if you don't feel okay. Just call me anytime you want . You know you can leave anytime whenever you want right? " Taehyung said exactly what Jungkook desired to say. Jungkook would lie if he says he wasn't jealous, he wasn't holding his anger...it was supposed to be him saying all this ! Jimin ignoring him was making him feel abandoned and he didn't cherish the feeling at all... Even when Jimin wasn't ignoring him in any way.

" Okay !! " Jimin happily chirped and looked at Jungkook who was already looking at him . It made Jimin blink and a different kind of smile spread across his face. A sudden blush and shyness were suddenly visible. Now Jungkook understood the difference and he felt happy.

" Bye..." Jimin said with a low voice and with a very sweet smile. He wanted to do something but felt very shy... cause Taehyung was watching and Jungkook was staring too differently.

" Remember what he said. " Jungkook said with a straight face. What he wants to say and what comes out...

Jimin nodded and smiled before he was about to step out of the car. Jungkook gulped, he wanted Jimin to say something, do something. His desperate eyes were screaming

" Jimin don't go ! Wouldn't you tell me what you always say ? Wouldn't you do something cause you're taking away all I have in me with you ? "

Jimin stopped, he looked back making Jungkook's breath hitch.

" Do you want to say something Master ? " Jimin asked sweetly and scooted closer to Jungkook .

" Uhmm ... No. " Jungkook didn't know why was he so nervous. It's just his Jimin. But his Jimin is always catching him in his emotions. Jungkook was happy being defeated.

" Oh ... Okay. " Jimin said with a small smile and turned to leave the car once again making Jungkook desperate and clutch on the steering wheel harder.

" Uhmm ... Take care. Okay ? " Jimin said turning back at Jungkook again who again breathed.

Jimin couldn't stop himself anymore. He knew what Jungkook wanted. He could feel the older's every emotions so clear.

" Mhmm.. " Jungkook hummed.

" I love you... Bye. " Jimin quickly said and pressed his lips on Jungkook's cheek for a second before leaving the car.

Taehyung watched it all. It made him happy...and sad at the same time. Two of his brothers were hopelessly in love and still , Destiny was fucking every thing. As he saw the uninvited, happy little smile on Jungkook's eyes while he watched Jimin walk away...made Taehyung more devastated.

.

" You ruined my work by following me all night Kai but now ? Your Boss and Sir came back . Just like an obedient dog, you went to them wiggling your tail of loyalty. " Sehun snarled under his breath as he watched Kai on the university ground talking with someone on his phone. Black suited mafia members everywhere , ready to kill anyone who'll dare to harm their Emperor's dear Black Rose.

This morning Sehun killed the the cook of Park mansion by mixing parathion in his breakfast. Sehun wanted to leave Park mansion without getting noticed as himself. So he changed his attire completely with the dead cook and mixed up with other house stuffs. The mask helped him a lot too. Now he was dressed like a normal University student in a hoodie covering half of his face.

Sehun was planning on seeing Jimin in person and many more ominous plans running here to there in his brain.

He entered the building after casually stealing someone's student ID from their pocket like a professional pickpocket.

" Jeon Jimin. Jeon Jimin. Jeon Jimin. Lemme see you. Where are you darling ? Lemme see where the Jeon Jungkook has melted. " Sehun chuckled under his breathe. He walked through the hallway filled with students.

" Hey ? " Sehun stopped a girl infront of him.

" Do you know where Jeon Jim- " before he could complete his words he heard loud gasps and a almost scream like voices from the far corner of the hallway.

It didn't take Sehun two seconds to understand the matter. It is all about Jimin who just entered the hallway.

Sehun walked faster towards the crowd and there he saw Jimin. No offense, he hated the Black Rose of Death but seeing Jimin in person... Made Sehun's jaw drop. The boy was too captivating to look away from. Jimin was going somewhere without looking at anyone in particular.

" You're really winning in life Jeon Jungkook. " Sehun let out a bitter chuckle before starting to follow Jimin.

" Not for very long. How about I take away your Baby Doll too ? How about you die seeing your Baby Doll in my arms ? " Sehun said to himself while keeping a safe distance with Jimin as he followed the later.

Jimin entered the empty restroom. He wasn't feeling quite well and being in the middle of lots of people weren't helping him . Every little loud sounds were making him clutch his eyes shut in pain. He stood infront of the water basin and turned it on.

Sehun entered the restroom and seeing Jimin alone there made him smirk. He can just kill Jimin now. He just has to shoot Jimin.

" You're following me from past two minutes. Sorry, you ain't sly enough. "
Sehun gasped in shock as Jimin said it and turned around, looking straight at him.

Sehun didn't have any idea that Jimin knew. Did Jimin recognise him ? Sehun pulled his mask up to his nose properly.

" W-Why will I follow you ? " Sehun asked and Jimin crossed his hand over his chest and rested his waist on the basin counter.

" You know that better than me. Just tell me what do you want . " Jimin asked. His voice was calm yet authorative.

" I- I was-wasn't following you. " Sehun said and looked down. For some reason he couldn't maintain eye contact with Jimin. The younger indeed screams royality. The aura screams Black Rose.

" If you don't even have the courage to speak the truth then leave. " Jimin said quite tiredly. He knew well the other was following him but he really didn't want to do something that'll hurt the other.

" You're so rude. " Sehun said and Jimin smiled.

" If that makes you leave me alone. " Jimin said with a smile and Sehun gritted his teeth before leaving. He has to leave the university as soon as possible. It wasn't even in his plan. His destination is somewhere else. He just wanted to see Jimin .

Jimin sighed and closed his eyes for a second to take a deep breath.
.
.
.

" NOW TELL ME ! " The ominous devilish voice sheered through the room making everyone's spine shiver.

" I-I d-do not know any-anything pl-please JK-AHHHHH ! " a bloodied man screamed in utter pain as Jungkook shoved a crowbar in his mouth with full force and pushed him on the concrete floor.

" You know nothing ? I see. " Jungkook said with a monstrous smirk , his long raven sweaty bangs covering his eyes , his expensive black attire hugging his chiseled body perfectly . His black silk shirt's diamond upper buttons were open , his favourite chain with Black Rose pendant hanging proudly around his neck.

Taehyung and Hoseok were silently standing in the room , watching the gruesome scene infront of them with a pale face. It was familiar yet looked more scary cause this days they're scared for someone. Every fatal scene infront of them makes them imagine about the worst scenarios that can happen with Taehyung's dearest little brother.

The bloodied man tried to clasp his hands infront of Jungkook with blood oozing out of his mouth .

Taking a long drag from his cigarette which was held between his fingers of left hand, Jungkook looked at the poor man and pressed the crowbar more in his throat.

" Lies. " Jungkook said pressing his foot on the man's hand who was writhing in pain. Yet, Jungkook's face held no expressions other than his fire filled eyes.

" And I hate it . " That was the only thing Jungkook said before he took out the crowbar from the man's mouth before shoving it again inside the man's mouth with inhumanic force. In a spilt second Jungkook twisted the crowbar forward and the man's face, along with his throat tore apart from his body.

" You should have knew it before you planned to think about hurting my Black Rose. " Jungkook said with a hushed dark chuckle kicking the deadbody and making it roll on the floor.

Taehyung's throat was dry along with Hoseok who had their eyes locked on the deadbody. Other members were already looking down.

Suddenly a phone ring interrupted the thick scary silence of the room. It was Jungkook's phone on the leather couch. Taehyung's was standing beside it. His heartbeat almost stopped when he glanced on the screen. The name was none other than " Baby Doll ".

Soobin rushed to take the phone and Jungkook looked at the screen.

Everyone noticed how the expressions immediately changed on Jungkook's face which they has never seen before. There was a sudden glow in his eyes, a brightening spark on his face. Jungkook threw away his cigrette and took the phone in his left hand before picking it up.

Someone else came with shaky legs and wiped Jungkook's blood covered right hand with a towel. That person was too scared that he was violently shaking after seeing the scene of few seconds back.

Everyone was staring at Jungkook but he could care less about anything right now. Picking up the call he talked first with a sudden rush of enthusiasm in his voice.

" Dollie ! "

On the other hand, Jimin was smiling brightly as he got out of his car and walked inside the work mansion with everyone bowing at him. He was there to surprise his master. Earlier today, he had a good time with his friends but he wasn't feeling quite well. He felt the desparate urge to reach his lover.

" Can I meet with you now Master...if you are no-not that busy right now ? "
Jimin asked walking through the vast hallway where everyone stopped doing their works only to bow at him.

" Why? " Jungkook asked with an odd voice and a smirk while his heart was pounding against his ribcage for some reason. Jimin wants to see him just like he does ! He just wanted to run to Jimin right now .

" its lunch time master... you shouldn't be skipping it... " Jimin said as he entered the corridor which leads to basement . He knew his lover was there.

" are you very busy master ? " Jimin asked stopping on his track cause he didn't want to disturb his lover but at the same time he was determined to keep Jungkook okay. He knew Jungkook didn't have his lunch.

" You're still in University right ? I'll be there in few. " Jungkook suddenly said making everyone's eyes go wide along with Taehyung and Hoseok. They couldn't process the tone Jungkook just used while talking to Jimin. It was so very different that they thought they will go insane if Jungkook's change rate is this.

" I'm just few seconds away from you Master... " Jimin said smiling as he again started walking towards the basement.

But this time Jungkook looked surprised and startled to be exact. Why didn't he want Jimin to see what he was doing just minute ago ? He really didn't want to tell Jimin that the person he just killed was planning on murdering Jimin which Jungkook will never let. He didn't want to ruin Jimin's bright mood or may be their day which they were going to spend together.

Jungkook marched out of the room in a split moment and Taehyung ran behind him along with Hoseok who were paranoid about what happened or if Jimin was there. They were just too tensed about everything .

The fact that Taehyung and others knew that Jimin wasn't a bit okay made them tear up any moment. Taehyung never felt this broken in his entire life. Everything always ruins when it looks fine. Jungkook was truly changing for his Beloved Black Rose and it was crystal clear on his eyes. But the person who was behind all this magic and love ...was the most hurt.

Jungkook rushed out of the room and there he saw Jimin walking towards him. Their eyes met and once again it felt very much different. Jungkook could feel his heart beat increasing to an inhuman pace as Jimin smiled. He couldn't help but walk faster towards Jimin. He felt happy, he felt excitement . He felt a sudden wave of comfort just by seeing Jimin. He couldn't stop himself anymore nor he wanted. Jimin is his fallen angel.

On the other hand Jimin smiled brightly seeing Jungkook. Just looking at his lover makes him happy. The fufilness he feels with Jungkook can never be replaced with anything. Never in his life he was this happy before. He forgot all the sickness he felt earlier. He can avoid all the things for his lover. He hated the sick feeling. He avoided it . Everytime he's with Jungkook , he forgets about everything and all his pain.

For the first time in Jimin's life , he found his way of cure. It's his Lover. His cure of all the pain was being in the arms of his lover. He didn't know how Jungkook does that. Whenever Jimin feels scared, pain and hurt...his brain chants only one name. His Jungkookie. He knew all his pain will go away in seconds. He'll let all the tears flow away and he knew Jungkook will hide him .

Jimin couldn't care about anything right now when he felt this desparate to forget everything and let himself fall in Jungkook's arms. He ran towards his lover.

Jungkook didn't know when a little smile crept up on his lips as he raised his arms to engulf Jimin . The younger ran into Jungkook's arms, wrapping his hands around Jungkook's neck tightly while the older wrapped his arms around Jimin's waist.

Jimin closed his eyes, letting a sudden few tear drops fall from them and smiled all along. The relief he felt in Jungkook's arms was unexplainable.

Taehyung and others were standing a little far behind the duo with opened mouth and amused eyes. This was truly different. This Jungkook was different. The interaction was different.

" The Devil can smile for his Angel.
The Devil can cry for his Angel.
The Devil can kill for his Angel.
And...
He can die for his Angel too. "

Here's another update.

I really wanted to say a lot here but I really don't have any energy left in me right now. In last chapter I saw a lots of comments saying this should have happened, that would have been better and many more....

I understand but trust me, we authors don't always plan the plot as you think. May be I have something else planned ? If a Character isn't revealing Something then everyone should understand that the author doesn't want the character to reveal it.

I know a lot of you have read greek tragedies. As you already know how those works ? We all know the truth but it always reveals in the end.

So please... If anything is making you too frustrated then Leave the book. I don't want to make anyone restless or angry. It's my request.

And my dear lovely readers, I hope y'all already understood from my other stories that I always try to do something different. Black Rose will be no different from that.

Have a Little more patience. Less than 8 chapters are left. I promised angst and there will be Angst. Just not how y'all always expect.

Happiest Birthday to the World Wide Handsome !!! 💜

Take care, Borahae 💜
