Enjoy! :)

Jeon smirked amuse at the pouting baby in his bed who was playing with the string of his hoodie and gazing down, looking like an angry puppy who was mad at not getting enough attention.

Jungkook walks closer to the other side of the bed and Taehyung looks up when he feels movement on his peripheral vision and instantly roll to the other side and glare at the mafia male.

"Don't you dare come close to me! I'm still mad!" Taehyung threatens, showing his finger to the male who laughs and throws his head back.

Jungkook folded his arms and raised his eyebrows at the little puppy while smirking widely. "You think you can say that to me?"

Jungkook chuckled. "I thought you're not allowed to stay away rather stay close to me. Are you forgetting what you're here for?"

Taehyung huffed and narrowed his eyes at him while also folding his arms. "That's what I'm saying, why are you not doing what I'm here for" He spat back.

"How can I if you won't let me come close to you?"

"I'm still mad at you! And your punishment is that you won't touch me for two hours" Jungkook scoffed.

Wow, Jeon, the first time you're getting ordered that is none other than from your petal

"I don't agree" he protested, wanted to give one of his harsh and cold mafia Jeon glare but his eyes gave away an opposite as it doesn't let the shine of sparkle that he has whenever it set upon his petal goes away.

"You've no choice" Taehyung deadpanned, not getting where this sudden confidence is coming and from when he was so bold to stand against his customer and that too the scary and weird male who surprisingly also shockingly didn't touch him even once.

Jungkook groaned as he feels like he's obliged to listen to Taehyung and give everything the small puppy wishes and he couldn't seem to quite say no to what Taehyung desire.

Jungkook huffed and mumbled in his mouth. "Can't believe what's gotten into you. You're getting weird, Jeon" and sit on the couch on the other side of the bed.

Taehyung's mouth open agape as he looks at wide eyes at the male who listens to him and sat away.

Jungkook opens his laptop and starts working on his files while he sat up an alarm of two hours and left the other male named Puppy by the whipped mafia leader in great disbelief.

Taehyung sat there looking around the room with a curious pout on his face while unconsciously pulling at his sweater paws.

After nearly one hour of doing nothing and staying there, Taehyung was highly bored and felt the boredom yawn came and he opens his mouth to yawn loudly which caught the working leader's attention.

"Tired?" Taehyung startled from the sudden voice in the silent room flinched in between his second upcoming yawn.

"Huh?" Jungkook chuckled and closed his laptop and walk towards the bed. "Can I come close to you now?" He asked.

Taehyung blinked and kept looking at him with his doe eyes and nods slowly, feeling his heartbeat getting faster.

Why he's asking?

Taehyung believes he was hallucinating when he notice the almost almost happy and excited glint in Jungkook's eyes when he nodded.

Jungkook goes and sits in front of Taehyung looking into his face and smiled internally since he can't seem to learn in general and crept his petal instead by his incapability to smile.

Taehyung fidgeted with his fingers and sighs deeply, heart drumming against his ribcage and ears getting hot from the intense gaze.

Taehyung flinched when Jungkook touches his face making the upset frown to form on the mafia's face who sighs and gently caressed his cheeks after patting his head twice in apology for scaring him.

"Are they still burning?" Jungkook asks, glancing at his neck.

Taehyung shakes his head.

"Words, petal"

Taehyung looks up, bewildered. "No, and who are you calling petal?"

The mafia laughed, making sure to made his voice low and less creepy and patted the confuse Taehyung's cheek.

"I wouldn't be calling myself petal and there's no one besides you and me in this room" Taehyung gasp and squealed, swatting Jungkook hand from his face and backs away a bit.

"Why are you calling me that?! Are you out of your mind?!" Jeon blinked in confusion and tilted his head a bit upset at the reaction of Taehyung which he thought would be opposite.

"Don't you like it?" He almost pouted.

Taehyung shakes his head aggressively side by side. "No!"

Jungkook frowned, he felt something in his heart and pit of stomach－he sure it was because of Taehyung disliking the name he oh so dearly gave him.

"Why? I thought you'll like it"

"Why would I?"

"Because it's unique. I'm sure no one had told you that before and I want to call you petal" Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows.

"Don't call me that. I don't like it"

Jungkook groaned. "But why? The name suits you a lot"

"No, It doesn't!" Taehyung huffed.

Jungkook stare at Taehyung and nodded his head. "It does tho, a bit too perfectly. Wanna know why?"

Taehyung looks at him confused.

Jungkook lifted his lips and without his knowing the smile had taken the place on his lips as he leans forward and cups Taehyung's both cheeks, tilting his head as he gazes at his precious.

Taehyung was frozen to see the male's smile for the first time and he felt his eyes lingering on the lips and how it shows his teeth that made him look like a bunny.

"You're just like a petal. A soft and feather flower bud that is preciously fragile and harmless. Simple but profoundly beautiful, an enchanting and attractive bloom that take the attention of every landing eyes on them..." Jungkook's thumbs rubbed the smooth cheeks and stare onto those mysterious and pretty eyes.

"But only a few see the inside of its beauty. The flower petals look too pretty and perfect from afar but if you look closely and attentively you will notice the lines of creases on the simply delicate petal. It shows not every shining thing is gold and every beautiful thing has their own flaws and insecurities that people choose to ignore for their own goods just because they don't want to acknowledge the flaws and focus on the things that pleased their eyes."

"You're beautiful there's no doubt but there's something－something that makes you unperfect and that is your own perfectionism. You've so many insecurities and flaws that you hide under those eyes through a thick wall of blankness and I want to reach there and see what is actually there that is caging your real self from the fear of breaking into pieces and never mending again."

Taehyung felt breathless, eyes blurry from moistness in them and hands trembling on his lap.
"S-Stop...s-stop!"

And a tear finally landed on his cheek and slide down to Jungkook's finger.

Jungkook pressed his forehead to Taehyung's who tremble in his hold and breathes heavily.

"You're not perfect and that's what I love about you. You've your flaws and that's what makes you the most beautiful and attractive person to me."

"Shh! Sh! Stop! S-Stop speaking!" Taehyung sobbed grabbing Jungkook's arms tightly and digging his nails.

"You're a human too, you've felt fears, go through hard times and you've your own breakdowns. It is okay to feel like leaving everything and hiding from all those judging eyes, it's normal. Things happen and then they go away. The life gets hard and makes you learn lessons for the better future, you just had to be strong"

Taehyung starts crying loudly hands tightening on the mafia's arms who smile as he saw Taehyung crying, feeling proud to dig in his emotions and getting the single crack on that thick wall as he wants Taehyung to see him as someone whom he can become an open book and letting those walls crumble down.

Taehyung shakes his head aggressively everything went so fast after this as the fear of someone reading him like an open book made his insides churn in dread and his insecurities and trust issues got the best of him and he harshly pulls away from Jungkook and slapped him hard on his cheek.

"How fucking dare you!"

He yelled and everything turns silent in the room as only loud breathing of the angry Taehyung who was overwhelmed from the sudden revelation of what he is and the fact that Jungkook sees through him has the dread washing over his fragile heart and mind making him feel bare in front of him.

Jungkook was shocked and his mind went blank, fist-clenching tightly that his knuckles turn white and the ringing of the slap echoed in his ears.

Calm...stay calm...it's ok...don't hurt him...don't you dare hurt him...it's fine...he's an exception...he's petal...he's just scared...he needs you...stay calm...don't let Jeon come out...stay Jungkook...Taehyung's Jungkook...

Taehyung stand up from the bed and glared at him.

"Who do you think you're huh?! What the fuck do you think of yourself?! Who permitted you huh! Who fucking allowed you to play with my feelings! Do you think it's a joke?! It's a play to do whatever you want just because you're superior to me, huh?!"

Jungkook shut his eyes tightly, trying with all his might to come back from the blankness of his mind, trying his best to calm the burning of revenge to seeps out of his body and mind. Hands shaking from the intensity of rage he's holding back himself to grab Taehyung and show him what sin he just did to slap the Jeon and what is he capable of.

"Mind your own business, Jungkook! It's best for you and don't you ever try to do that again or it won't be a simple slap that you're getting next time" Taehyung spat, voice dripping with venom as he harshly wipes his tears.

Jungkook open his eyes, head facing the opposite to Taehyung and if anyone glance at him, they can see the darkness in his eyes and the glint of craziness in his orbs, his face relaxed and fist opens.

Jungkook chuckled darkly, head turning to Taehyung and he raised his eyebrow at the angry male standing in front of him.

"Oh really?"

The voice was no longer gentle and soft, it was dark and deep.

Jungkook stands up, tilting his head to the side as he smirked.

"But I'm still superior, aren't I? Yet you raised your hand"

"Should I forgive you for what you dared to do?" Taehyung breaths out, coming into his senses and realize what he has done.

"Or should I punish you?"

His voice was weirdly calm and compose but his dark and unfocus eyes gave away that he has lost the battle from coming back to being Jungkook from the strict and ruthless Mafia Jeon who has won the battle because of the rage and anger that seeps in every vessel of his body.

Taehyung felt his heart stopping at the unreadable look on the other's male face and the different aura that oozes from him.

"I'm s-s-sorry..."

"Tsk tsk tsk...Bold of you to assume that the sorry will be enough" Jeon walked forward the creeping smirk never left his mouth as he chuckled when Taehyung steps back in fear.

"D-Don't hurt me, p-please" Taehyung whimper out as his back hit the wall and now he has nowhere to go.

Tears brim in his eyes when Jungkook was in front of him, so close that it took all the breath from his lungs.

"Aww, petal..." Jeon lifted his chin up and tilt his head. "I won't hurt you, Pup"

"Just give me the reason for you to slap me when all I did is to show you your true worth, can you tell me, pup?" Taehyung trembles as he takes shaky breaths.

"Don't make me repeat myself, pup. You know I hate it" Jeon growled as his fingers hold stayed gentle on his chin.

Taehyung chocked out a sob, his heart racing wildly, he was so so scared and vulnerable.

"I-I-I....d-don't like...! I-I–Invading in...in my p-privacy" Taehyung couldn't talk, be couldn't even breath as he felt tears roll down his cheeks and his throat had a wide lump.

Jeon frowned and sighs deeply, feeling a deep sting occur in his chest and his mind ringing from the sobs his petal let out and he felt headache starts to form as he stares at Taehyung.

"Are you scared?" He asks confusingly.

"But I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Taehyung covers his mouth and shakes his head, wanted to hide and run away because he felt naked in front of him.

Jungkook's hand reach to his head and Taehyung quickly covers himself by shielding his arms in front of his head. He was just so scared.

And that movement did something to Jeon who instantly backs away far from crying Taehyung with widening eyes as he gets back to his senses and looks at what he did and in what position his petal is.

"P-Petal? Oh shit!"

Jungkook panicked and tug on his hairs as he groaned loudly.
"No no no"

"I-I didn't m-mean to!"

Taehyung stands there shielding himself and cried loudly.

Jungkook felt a deep sting to go through his heart as he breathes loudly from the emotions that went through his body.

They were all unknown and unrecognizable to him. He doesn't know what they meant but he knows he hates it.

"A-Are you s-scared of me n-now?" Jungkook said in a low voice, hands fisting as he painfully stares at Taehyung.

"Do you－Do you want me to go?" Taehyung just slide down the wall and buried his face in his legs and under his arms.

"Don't cry, please. I will leave!" Jungkook said as he backs away going towards the door and opening, looking back at the small curled up body and felt his forehead pulsing and eyes burning, he left from there with a heavy heart and countless of new emotions and unanswered questions, for the first time Jeon has felt his heart beating with sheer fear and insecurity.

You failed Jungkook, you couldn't control Jeon...
