"Jiahn?"

With a single word, Venom's freezing hold was broken. The darkness that consumed her captivating eyes began to dissipate. One word was all it took to halt her sinister schemes on treacherous paths. Her tight grasp on the blade weakened, and it slipped from her fingers, resounding with a clank upon the cold, damp floor.

"Jiahn? Are you there?" Trembling, Taehyung's voice quivered as he turned his head, following the trail of Venom's distinctive scent. His blindfolded gaze appeared to lock with hers as she abandoned her hold on his hair, staggering backward with a profound sense of awe. Against the aged, damp stone wall, her back found refuge, her eyes widening in astonishment.

The expression on Venom's face was an entirely unfamiliar sight. Jungkook watched as she took a step back, unsure if reality had truly shifted or if she had slipped into a vivid daydream. He appeared bewildered and shocked. Amid the room, the other men kept their tongues restrained and their faces composed, guarding against any baiting that might result in a fatal value. Only one person had his sanity at that moment.

Yoongi, unfazed by the trance-like state of the others, approached Taehyung while the room remained gored. He forcefully pulled Taehyung back by his hair, clutching the locks between his fingers. Taehyung winced in pain at the impact.

"Hm, so the little lover boy cares about his little girlfriend more than his own life" Yoongi sneered into Taehyung's ear, causing a shiver to ripple down his body.

"You took her? Y-you... No, please, don't harm my Jiahn" Taehyung pleaded, his voice reduced to a whimper. Yoongi turned his gaze towards Venom, whose eyes remained fixed solely on Taehyung's blindfolded face.

"And who do you think you are to give me orders, hm?" Yoongi tugged Taehyung's hair even harder, eliciting a pained grunt.

"I'm not ordering, Sir... I'm... I'm begging you. Please, let her go" Taehyung sobbed, his broken words escaping his lips amidst the throbbing pain of the blade still embedded in his shoulder and the torment of his hair being mercilessly yanked. His pleas were not for himself, but for...

With each passing second, Venom's face grew paler.

He... he cares.

He cares about-

Me?

ME!?

WHY ME!?

Why does he care about me!? Seizing her own hair, Venom yanked at the strands, her gaze fixated unwaveringly on the captive before her. However, as Jungkook approached her, something distinct flickered within her eyes, evading his notice until now. A profound frown etched upon his face as he witnessed a glimmer, almost imperceptible yet undeniable, of fear emanating from her honey-colored orbs.

She is scared!? Jungkook couldn't believe his eyes to see this... This fear was not like what her prey showed. It was not the one enclosed between the walls of her playhouse. It was not the one you would feel sitting in those metal leather restraints chairs. It was something else... Jungkook saw it gleaming in her hazel orbs. It was more intense.

Why is she scared?

Seizing Venom by the arm, Jungkook forcefully tugged her along, her unwavering gaze fixed upon the tormented figure now subjected to Yoongi's abuse. Sensing her existence trembling, he remained steadfast in his purpose.

What is happening to her?

Why is she affected like this?

What did Taehyung do to her?

Tons and tons of questions flooded through Jungkook's mind yet he stifled them, recognizing that now was not the opportune moment for an investigation. Leading her away from the scene, he guided Venom to a seat, her breathing slightly erratic, while her eyes remained fixed on Taehyung.

"And why should I spare her?" Yoongi seized the opportunity to exploit Taehyung's weakness, masking his own vulnerability. He clenched his fist, delivering a powerful blow to Taehyung's jaw, causing him to bite his own tongue. Taehyung wheezed, whimpering in pain as he spat out blood.

A strange sensation pricked at Venom's heart, like an uncomfortable thorn. Witnessing Taehyung being struck unsettled her. Every punch left a pain to cruise past the flesh of her heart, Confusion and self-doubt swirled in her mind. What was happening to her? She mentally shook herself, berating her own conflicted emotions.

"No, please Coughs no-" Taehyung's words were cut off as Yoongi delivered another forceful punch to his face, intensifying his wheezing. Yoongi yanked Taehyung's hair, forcing his face upward and gripping his jaw tightly.

"I will slowly torture her until she begs for death. Break each of her bones into countless pieces. Shred her existence limb from limb. Drain every last drop of her blood. I will make sure she gets the most agonizing death imaginable" Yoongi taunted, further stoking the fire of his sadistic threats.

"NOOO!" Taehyung fiercely spat back, his voice filled with desperation, straining against his restraints. "I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU SO MUCH AS TOUCH HER..." Taehyung's voice turned into a shriek as he desperately pulled at his wrists, managing to loosen them slightly. The sudden surge of power in the once wailing boy left Venom gazing at him.

He could not bear me being hurt? Why?

Why is he so concerned?

Why the fuck he cares?

Yoongi retrieved a gun from the pile and fired a shot into the wall beside Venom. She didn't flinch, maintaining her unwavering gaze on Taehyung, her expression both inscrutable and filled with a peculiar emotion. Jungkook struggled to decipher the exact nature of that expression.

The gunshot silenced Taehyung, his body tensing up. His lips trembled, but no words escaped. Fear once again overtook his being.

"Try to speak nonsense bitch and I'll make sure the next time it doesn't miss her by a mere inch"

"I- I'm sorry, Sir, pl-please, don't hurt her I beg you" Taehyung stammered, his voice filled with panic. "D-don't hurt her. Please, d-don't..."

"And what's in it for me?" Yoongi traced Taehyung's face with the muzzle of his gun.

"W-what do you want?" Taehyung spoke with caution, wary of triggering Yoongi's rage once more.

"Answers, I need answers" Yoongi's voice dripped with menace.

"Answers? What type of answers?"

"The type that's called honest ones. Let's see, KNIGHTS?" A moment of silence hung in the air. Yoongi expected panic or fear to wash over Taehyung's face, but found pure confusion and silence kissing his features instead, he gritted his teeth and pressed the gun's nozzle against Taehyung's temple.

"I bloody asked you something" Even behind their masks, the eyes of the ruthless predators exuded darkness capable of sucking the soul from a person.

"I... I don't understand what are you talking about"

"KNIGHTS, your ancestors rule KNIGHTS"

"No, What? I don't know what you're talking about" Taehyung responded, perplexed.

Yoongi raised an eyebrow, exchanging a glance with Jungkook before returning his gaze to Taehyung.

"Listen, boy, don't play games with us. Either start talking, or we will make you talk. Either way, you will talk, or you better know" His tone was stern, leaving no room for ambiguity.

"B-but I don't think anything about this thing you call KNIGHTS. I really don't know what you are talking about sir." Taehyung's words rang with an innocent sincerity, resonating deeply within. Catching Yoongi's signal, Jungkook swiftly rotated Venom's chair, shielding her face from Taehyung's gaze. While, Yoongi removed Taehyung's blindfold, causing him to squint against the dim light that, despite its faintness, compelled him to shut his eyes.

Yoongi clutched his jaw and made him look in the direction of where Venom sat quietly and Jungkook pressed a gun to the back of her head. Taehyung's vision cleared and what he saw forth made him jump out of his Gripping his jaw tightly, Yoongi forced Taehyung's gaze towards the silent figure of Venom, while Jungkook pressed the cold barrel of a gun against the back of her head. As Taehyung's vision cleared, he leaped out of his chair in shock. The skin on his wrists strained, on the verge of tearing as he desperately jerked and pulled, attempting to break free.

"NO! No please, not her, don't hurt her" Taehyung realized that Venom was being kidnapped as well from his perspective, panic surged within him at the sight of the gun pressed against her head. Unaware that the possessor of those hazel orbs was the very reason he found himself in this mess, his mind raced with fear and uncertainty.

She was the reason he was kidnapped and is now being tortured.

She was the reason behind his suffering.

He didn't know she was conscious hearing and observing him.

He didn't know she was there with a storm inside her that he caused.

Unaware of the profound impact he had on her, Taehyung remained oblivious to the turmoil reflected in her honey-colored orbs, as if suffocating yet yearning for a deeper understanding.

Inside her, a fierce storm raged, reflected in the heavy silence that surrounded her. Jungkook sensed the intensity, but he couldn't fathom what was truly happening within her. The very thought of it filled him with fear.

"You don't want her to die huh boy? Then start speaking"

Taehyung's glistening eyes darted swiftly between Venom and the three masked men, their attention solely fixated on him. Tears cascaded down his face in a continuous chain, a visible display of his overwhelming emotions.

"I swear I don't know anything about KNIGHTS. Please, believe me, I'm hearing this for the first time..." Yoongi looked towards Yoongi and Jungkook who looked back exactly the same amount of confusion.

"Hm~ what about Kim Seokjin!?" Yoongi asked causing Taehyung to peer to his masked face with wobbling lips. Jungkook tensed up a bit and breathed deeply. What if one day they reach Jimin while poking around looking for more prey.

"K-Kim Seokjin" It rolled off Taehyung's tongue in a mere whisper.

"Yes, Kim Seokjin, Don't deny you don't know about this too. Your face speaks a bit too well"

"I know Sir... But I don't think so he's the one you are looking for" Yoongi raised an eyebrow inquisitively at Taehyung, who swallowed anxiously while his tongue ran across his lips moistening them in the way.

"My older brother's name is Kim Seokjin... H-he helps in my father's business and he's mostly out of the country. B-but he's here now a days. Sir I don't think so he's the one Seokjin you are looking for. My brother is just a mere worker. He is the CEO of my father's company. I don't think so he can help you in any way"

"Hmm..." The agents exchanged glances once more, while Venom, who was listening attentively, grew increasingly perplexed by the situation.

Working in a company? Does he not know about his own roots?

He knows.... Nothing?

Or is he hiding? She couldn't decide. She wanted to agree to the latter but the way Taehyung spoke without a glitch of tongue left her thinking otherwise.

"Is that it? Well, what about Code Seoyeon?"

Taehyung's expression turned into one of utter confusion as he gazed at the masked figures before him. Meanwhile, Jungkook kept his head lowered, concealing his face behind a mask, but his apprehension of being discovered remained palpable. Despite this, Taehyung couldn't help but find the voice strangely familiar.

"You do know about Code Seoyeon, don't you!?" A menacing snarl escaped Yoongi's lips, causing Taehyung to instinctively gulp and retreat a step, intimidated by the intensity of Yoongi's gaze.

"N-no Sir, I don't know about any code. I don't even get why you are asking me such things, I know nothing-...."

"LIES LIES LIES" A ferocious grimace contorted Yoongi's face as he clenched his teeth tightly. Swiftly, he reached for a blade concealed within his leather restraints, skillfully freeing himself from their confines. With a swift motion, he seized Taehyung by his hair, yanking him forcefully towards the damp floor of the lighthouse, where he cast him down with a resounding thud.

"I FUCKING HATE LIES..." In a swift and merciless act, Yoongi launched a powerful kick directly into Taehyung's stomach, causing him to emit a pained groan that echoed through the room. Meanwhile, in the opposite corner, another heart raced with anxiety, its rapid beats reverberating in the tense atmosphere.

"FUCKING LIAR, SON OF A BITCH."
Yoongi kicked Taehyung again earning another more pained grunt.

Venom shifted in her chair with this sickening uneasy feeling kiss the pit of her stomach as she heard the boy's pained whimpers.

Yoongi unleashed a relentless barrage of kicks and blows upon Taehyung, his assault unyielding and merciless. Each strike inflicted agonizing pain, eliciting heart-wrenching whimpers from Taehyung's lips. Overwhelmed by the torment, he cried out, his voice a mixture of anguish and desperation, while struggling to catch his breath amid wheezing gasps. The room resonated with the echoes of his suffering, a haunting symphony of pain and despair.

Gripping the chair's arms tightly, Venom sought solace in deep breaths, attempting to ease the unsettling sensation in the depths of her stomach which now consumed her entire being. The peculiar feeling, once an unsettling presence, had now transformed into a sweeping force, leaving her immersed in a state of profound bewilderment and unease.

Why... Just why do I? Why do I feel so uneasy?

Her breaths grew heavy, her lower lip clenched tightly between her teeth as she fought against the overwhelming uncertainty that now engulfed her. Venom, the embodiment of unwavering resolve, found herself at a loss, uncertain of her next move. This was unfamiliar territory for her—Venom, the stubborn force who possessed unwavering clarity, never faltered, never hesitated. She was the one feared by all, the one whose will was unquestionable. She was the essence of strength, her demeanor as solid as steel, as chilling as ice, and as rigid as stone. Yet, at this moment, a flicker of vulnerability pierced through her unyielding facade, leaving her grappling with a disconcerting sense of disorientation.

What happened now huh?

Why are you feeling weak Venom?

Are you... Becoming human.

"Shut up just shut up" she murmured to herself.

Amidst the captivating spectacle unfolding before them, Venom's irritation went unnoticed by the others in the room. As all attention remained fixed on the ongoing scene, she discreetly began massaging her temples, attempting to alleviate the growing annoyance that gnawed at her.

What happened huh... Is the poor boy affecting you now?

Is he touching your stone-cold heart now?

Amidst the distressing gurgles emanating from Taehyung, Venom's heart grew increasingly unsettled, causing her to squirm uncomfortably in her chair. The sound of his whimpers, pleas, and heart-wrenching sobs reverberated within her, relentlessly pounding against the icy walls that guarded her emotions. The cracks in that icy barrier widened, threatening to shatter under the weight of the torment she witnessed. Time passed slowly, each moment stretching out agonizingly, until Taehyung lay on the frigid floor, bruised and battered, his body trembling while his eyes remained closed. In the opposite corner, another figure struggled, her nails digging into her palms as she battled with an internal conflict of her own.

Was Taehyung fighting a big war or was it Venom? Both were bruised badly just in different ways.

It pulled Venom out of her war when she heard Yoongi and Jungkook tying Taehyung up with ropes and a weight to his body.

NO!

Her heart skipped a beat at the thought of what they were to do next.

What happened Venom? Are you regretting your decisions?

"No, I never regret my decisions" She mumbled to her consciousness digging nails in the arms of the chair.

You shouldn't either... They are doing this on your orders remember.

Then why are you being a bitch? Perhaps rethinking your decisions. You are slippin' girl!

"No, Shut up"

I highly doubt that.

"Shut the fuck up" Venom shot one of her own men straight in the head standing up from her chair and turning around.

"What's wrong..." Jungkook probed while everyone stopped their movements registering her actions, one man dead for no reason, the only sounds now being heard were Taehyung's shallow shaky breathing and the sea waves.

"Finish it"

She voiced with a low growl under her breath while the voices in her head ragged, the former turned away from the boy who was slipping in and out of his consciousness. It was not long before she heard a loud splash of water that ruptured the void suffocating all of them inside itself, the air inside the lighthouse too felt heavier to Venom telling her yes your plan is executed.

He is gone. He is out of your way now. You got what you want.

Then why is this damn shitty piece of meat not at rest? Just why?

Only if she realized that her heart had started beating this very day when she killed the cause of it with her own hands.

Did she though?
