hey taekoos💜

quote: "nothing in this world is more dangerous than love. not even death itself."

"Jeungguk I am also coming with you this time. you said Thailand right? I have some work to get done there." Taehyung said. He has been trying to convince the other for ten minutes since he heard that there was an attack on jeungguk's Thailand base. If his assumptions were correct then...

Jeungguk just shook his head in negative again. "I am going there for a mission. Not for travelling around. You cant come with me." Jeungguk said. This time, his voice was more stern than before. Announcing that it was his final decision and it couldn't be changed.

"Yeah Taehyung, you can come with us." A new voice was heard from outside their room. "Thanks hyung!" Taehyung said as he engulfed Yoongi in a hug. Yoongi only hugged him back as Jeungguk was glaring daggers at him. "We are leaving tonight, so be ready with every necessary things packed." Yoongi said as he pulled away from the hug.

Taehyung only nodded as he made his way out of the room. Yoongi turned to look at Jeungguk who was still looking at him. He only shrugged it off as he made his way further into the room.

"Hyung, why are you telling him to come? We don't even know what awaits us there. We could put him in danger." Jeungguk huffed out as he saw Yoongi's non-chalancy over the matter. Sometimes the younger could just never figure out what was going through the other's minds.

"Has he ever asked to come along until now? no. so it must be something important and urgent. It might even be connected to the attack on our Thailand base." Yoongi said as he scanned through the different arms and ammunitions kept around the room. He had to decide which one to take along.

"He has no connection with all of this. Of course he doesn't. he is only a CEO who is coming for some business meeting. Why would he be related to this?" Jeungguk pried in further. He wanted to know what Yoongi was thinking about the situation.

"Make sure to give him this dagger, short knife and gun. Tell him to be armed all the time and not to have them out where they are seen." Yoongi said as he had carefully went through the options and chosen for Taehyung. Jeungguk only sighed as he realized he wasn't going to get the answers he was looking for.

He took the weapons out and shoved them into his pocket, reminding himself to hand them over to Taehyung. "Taehyung wouldn't even know how to use these." Jeungguk muttered under his breath as he still continued to monitor Yoongi's movements.

"Don't say something with such certainty when you don't know." Is the only thing Yoongi said as he made his way out of the room, leaving Jeungguk alone in the room with his thoughts. What did Yoongi know about Taehyung that Jeungguk himself didn't know?

As he made his way to Taehyung, he saw the other having already packed two suitcases. "Why two?" he asked as he snaked his arms around the other's waist and buried his head into the other's crook. Something about the other's vanilla-strawberry scent always calmed down Jeungguk's fogged mind.

"For the two of us. I don't know how long it is going to take. I am also coming back with you." Jeungguk could only nod. "Why does your pocket feel weird all of a sudden." Taehyung asked as he felt something move within them. that's when Jeungguk remembered and took out the weapons.

The glint in Taehyung's eyes on having been exposed to the weapons were unnoticed by Jeungguk. He handed them over to his husband and told the instructions given by Yoongi. "But baby, do you know how to use them?" Jeungguk asked as he saw Taehyung wrapping each weapon at different parts of his clothes.

"Very well indeed." Jeungguk raised his eyebrows. How did the other know to use weapons such as these? They required a lot of training. "I had learnt them for self-defence you know. Being the most wanted CEO is not all flowers and petals. And to add on to that, I am also the husband of the most wanted mafioso. So I got to learn these." Taehyung explained himself.

Jeungguk nodded as it made sense and then proceeded to usher the other outside. They were to board for their mission and some instructions were yet to be given. Once they had settled in Jeungguk began to give out the necessary information.

From the corner of his eyes he could see Taehyung on phone. Who was he calling at 3 in the morning? Jeungguk asked himself as he continued to say the things. After a minute when Taehyung came back to sit with Jeungguk, the elder's expressions had entirely changed.

He had put on a cold demeanor that was instigating everyone around him, even Jeungguk himself. "What happened babe? Who was on call?" Jeungguk asked Taehyung as he saw the change in the other. What is going on with my husband? Would someone please tell me?

Taehyung only shook his head and said, "Nothing happened. And it was Jimin. I had told him to manage my office for a few days until my return from Thailand. He always does anyway and since I am leaving earlier than planned, I had to inform him."

Another ring cut their conversation short as Taehyung picked up his phone to see who it was. He excused himself from the conversation as he went to attend the call.

"Where is he?"

"We don't know. I have been trying to contact him but he isn't in reach."

"What do you mean by not in reach? I swear to god, if he is the reason behind all the this ruckus, he wouldn't live to see the next day."

"Yes sire. I will try to find him and contact you at the earliest."

And with that, the call was hung.

Taehyung went back to his place beside Jeungguk as he sighed at the conversation he had just had. He had an idea of who had attacked Jeungguk's lair. Even after repeatedly telling him, he had the audacity to go ahead with it? what does he take me for? Taehyung's anger knew no bound now.

He looked at Jeungguk who had a worried expression on his face. Not wanting to bother him more, he turned off his phone as he laid his head on the other's shoulder. "Don't worry love. Nothing is wrong." He whispered to Jeungguk.

And in another two hours, they had landed right on top of Jeungguk's Thailand base. The place was completely trashed. Nothing remained intact. "The one who had come here had only one true intention. It was to trash it up. Like a warning." Yoongi had told.

His eyes were following around Taehyung who seemed to be going flawlessly over the mess of the place. what is he searching for? Yoongi thought as he made his way towards the said male. He tapped the other's shoulder when he saw the other pick something up.

"I know who did this Yoongi." Taehyung said as he eyed the piece of metal in his hand. To anyone outside, it would only seem like a scrape metal because of all the chaos around them. But Taehyung alone knew. This was the symbol of his lair. The one he visited frequently.

Yoongi looked at him in confusion. How would Taehyung know is what he had thought. It is what anyone would've thought if they didn't know who Taehyung actually was. "V" a voice came from behind. The two turned to be met with Wooyoung.

"His location is still unknown but I know he would be in his alternate lair. The one you made for emergency." Wooyoung said as he looked at Taehyung and then at the piece in his hand. "it really is his work. I didn't know he would stoop this low." Wooyoung said further as he took the piece from the latter's hands.

"Who are you and why did he call you V?" Yoongi asked and that was when Taehyung and Wooyoung, equally tensed up. They didn't know what to say as they looked at each other and then back at Yoongi.

"Now is not the time for it. we know who did it. follow us." The duo said as they made their way out of the lair. Wooyoung and Taehyung were holding onto what seemed like a pocket knife. Yoongi could only eye that suspiciously as he knew it was no ordinary pocket knife.

So he quietly signaled the other's in the lair to follow him as he made his way to the duo walking ahead of them.

"What is happening?" Namjoon asked. He was walking beside Jeungguk who was also equally clueless about the situation around him. Jeungguk grunted in reply. He wasn't liking it one bit.

"Whatever it is, it better be useful." Jeungguk said as he continued to follow with his men behind him. And then finally, after what seemed like an hour of walking, the group had approached an old and abandoned, classic warehouse. But just before anyone could rush into the place, Taehyung stopped them all.

"I want all of you to stay outside. Jeungguk and Yoongi hyung, come with me." Taehyung said and then he turned toward the entrance of the warehouse. "You know how to get the other's inside I believe." He told to Wooyoung as he made his way while signaling the two to follow him.

"Do not speak until I tell either of you to. Am I understood?" Taehyung said and the other two, just had to nod their head. It wasn't like they had any choice here. They would do as said.

"What is the meaning of this Minho?" Taehyung yelled as he threw the metal at the said man's face. At the moment, Jeungguk and Yoongi took their moment to take in the mentioned appearance. All black comfort wear. Had multiple weapons strapped to him ranging from short knives to swords with their holders.

One thing Jeungguk noticed was the symbol in all of them. It was V. oh shit. His eyes widened in realization as he looked at Yoongi who only had a bored expression.

"What do you mean V?" Minho got up as he made his way towards his boss. The one he had always been under. But it wasn't out of fear or in hopes of over-throwing the other. it was out of pure respect for the other and the way he managed every situation. He bowed to the other as he reached him.

"I had particularly told you to maintain a good relation with Ravenhook and to not mess with them. Why would you do this despite my warning?" Taehyung asked further as he pointed his finger at Minho's chest and he pushed the latter lightly.

"Where is Bogum?" he then proceeded to ask as he looked around the lair and noticed the absence of the other. "Bogum sire is also around the lair. I will inform him about your presence." Minho said but Taehyung stopped him.

"No need. You alone can tell me why you did this. I left you in charge of all this and so you are answerable for everything happening in this lair."

"I had only followed your instructions sire." The other had uttered as he played an audio recording of what seemed to be a call. Anyone in their right minds would be able to recognize Bogum's voice but the other voice was forged. It could pass as Taehyung's but not necessarily.

"Who gave this?" Taehyung asked as he now took the recorder into his hands and started eyeing it. it had Bogum's name written on it. "Bogum sire. He said this was the call between the two of you and therefore we had planned the attack with a week's notice and attacked a few hours ago." Minho stated proudly.

And at the very moment, Bogum had walked in. "V" he had whispered when he was met with the said man. Taehyung turned to look at the voice to find the one he had been searching for. He couldn't tell someone to call him as that would alert him about Taehyung's presence.

"Why did you do this?" Taehyung asked as he showed the recorded to Bogum. "You and I both know this isn't my voice." He further said and heard Minho gasp at that.

"Because this is what we always wanted. We have always wanted to be the strongest. To be able to overthrow every other mafia leader to be the only one right?" Bogum said as he slowly made his way to Taehyung.

"No. I had told you not to mess with Jeungguk's lair." Taehyung said firmly as he carefully watched every movement made by the other.

"And why not?" bogum continued to question as he was now standing right in front of the other.

"You know it as well as I know it." is the only thing Taehyung said. Yoongi and Jeungguk were only standing there silently, watching everything happening. Slowly absorbing the surrounding and the lair. The appearance of the second man by the name of Bogum. The two seemed very familiar to the two men, but their true identity was still not identifiable to the two.

While Yoongi was turning the gears of his brain to figure it out, Jeungguk was paying attention to every small movement happening around Taehyung. He had to keep the other safe.

Out of the blue, Taehyung held his short knife and threw it towards Jeungguk and Yoongi. But it went right in between them and behind them. Shocked Jeungguk and Yoongi, turned to look at where the knife had reached. That's when they saw a man, lying on the floor with the thrown knife on his neck as blood oozed out.

"Touch either of them and that will be your situation." Taehyung said as he eyed everyone else in the room, making sure they got the message.

"It is because of love. Isn't it?" the voice of Bogum had brought back Jeungguk and Yoongi to the situation at hand. They looked at Taehyung who hadn't replied to that. He only stared into the other's eyes.

"But we don't deserve love. Love is only a weakness. It would only put us down at the end. We have both experienced it first hand V. wasn't the reason of your pain him?" Bogum said as he pointed his fingers at Jeungguk. It was true. it was because of Jeungguk.

Jeungguk was going to open his mouth to speak but Taehyung had beat him to it. "You are right." Taehyung had said as he now looked at Jeungguk. Dead into the other's eyes. "Love is only a weakness that we shouldn't have. It had already failed us once and we had vowed to kill the one who made us suffer." Taehyung said further.

Hearing the harsh words, broke Jeungguk's heart. It was indeed a weakness. The emotion of love. But it would be a strength if loved in the right way. But guess, Jeungguk's love for Taehyung wasn't the right one.

"What should we do?" Taehyung turned back to ask Bogum who had a victorious smile on his face. He was closer and closer to achieving his ultimatum in power.

"End him." Bogum said and had signaled another man to walk forward and do the job. But Taehyung had stopped him. He shook his head as he smirked at Bogum. "Let me do it. for everything he has done to hurt me in the past, I deserve to be the one who kills him." Taehyung said as he eyed Jeungguk.

Jeungguk's eyes widened at that. But Yoongi on the other hand remained stone cold. The expression he had when he entered, he had the same expression. "Sure babe." Jeungguk heard Bogum say as he saw Taehyung make his way to him. A dagger out of its strap, was now held in his hands.

"Don't do this baby. I know you don't want to. I know you love me. Don't you love me?" Jeungguk asked desperately as he had always wished to spend the rest of his life with the other, not die in the other's hands.

"Didn't you hear him bunny? Love is a weakness that is not meant for people like us." The devilish smirk, never once left the other's face as he further approached Jeungguk. And right when he was in front of the other with his dagger raised up, he heard a gunshot.

In a swift movement, he had stabbed Jeungguk's shoulders. Not deep to injure the other but not on the surface such that there is no blood out of it at all. But what surprised Jeungguk was that he felt no pain. He felt absolutely nothing but he could see the blood oozing out.

That's when Yoongi came into action as he took the gun from Jeungguk's coat as he fell and shot behind Taehyung. "Why would you do this Taehyung? Why?" Jeungguk yelled as tears began to leave his eyes. Taehyung only shushed him as he heard the other footsteps coming in and all hell break loose.

There was weapons flying around and bullets being shot from one to another. amidst all this chaos, it helped Taehyung to get Jeungguk out of there and into a safe place in his own lair. A closed room.

Jeungguk was laid on the bed as he looked into Taehyung's eyes. He couldn't believe that the other could hurt him. He had thought that the other had a plan and that he wouldn't hurt him under any circumstances.

"Why did you stab me there? You should've stabbed me here." Jeungguk said as he pointed to where his heart is. "would've hurt less when the death is quick." He then said as he saw Taehyung moving around the room in search of something.

"Or is that what you wanted? Wanted me to suffer and have a slow death is it? but you know why I did all this. It wasn't to make you suffer. I was only trying to protect you." Jeungguk said further as he was now sobbing. Taehyung came back with a new shirt in hand.

"It is maybe because I deserved the wound that it feels numb right?" Jeungguk asked further as he saw Taehyung unbuttoning his shirt and pulling it off without touching the wound.

"Bunny stop sprouting non-sense for once. You aren't hurt." Taehyung said as he sighed and took the blood bag that he had strapped onto Jeungguk. A hole from where the blood had been previously oozing out.

"I hadn't even stabbed you to begin with." Taehyung said as he showed the leaking blood bag to Jeungguk. "It was all part of the plan. A mere distraction for Bogum. That's all." Jeungguk looked the other in confusion. When had he strapped the blood bag onto him and how had he not felt it?

"I had strapped it on with the help of Yoongi hyung when you were sleeping." Taehyung said as he sensed the other's distress. "Oh." Was all Jeungguk could say as he helped himself wear the new shirt that Taehyung had in hand.

And that's when the door flew open. In came, Yoongi, Namjoon and Wooyoung as Wooyoung was screaming, "STOP HAVING SEX IN THE LAIR." But when he saw the two being fully clothed, he could only sigh as he said, "Oh so you guys weren't? damn."

"Good job Taebear." Yoongi said as he came forth and hugged Taehyung. Taehyung was shook. He couldn't formulate words when he heard that. It had been years since he had last heard the name and now having heard it from the one standing in front of him, he couldn't help himself.

Tears were uncontrollably leaving his eyes as he looked at Yoongi. Into the same storm eyes that he had and he saw his own reflection in it. just like he always remembered seeing. His emotions were now all over the place as he looked at the other and uttered, "Yoonie?" the said man could only nod as the younger flung himself into the other's arms again.

He was now completely sobbing, having missed the arms around him. He had missed it for six years and was finally glad to have it around him again. He was finally glad to have his Yoonie back with him like the good old days when he was happy.

"Its okay Taebear, your brother has got you." Yoongi said as he felt the other wetting his shirt. The line spun out of his mouth like he had always been saying it. and truth be told, he had. When they were together and he had missed saying it.

"yes, my brother has got me and now no monster can come get me." Taehyung also uttered, having remembered it from his faded memories. His brother who he hadn't seen since six years was finally back to him. How had he not noticed it before? The man was right in front of him all these damn three years.

This also explained every question Jeungguk ever had about the relation between Yoongi and Taehyung. He was glad that the other finally got the brother who he had always craved for. He was happy to see the other happy in his brother's arms.

And he wished for the happiness to never be snatched. He would make sure that this very happiness is never snatched from the other. he would protect it with all his life.

"You didn't have to be so dramatic." Taehyung said as he eyed Jeungguk again. This time he had a stern expression as he rested his arms on his hips. Jeungguk only pointed to himself as he looked at the other, stunned by the sudden accusation.

"Yes you. I hadn't stabbed you. The dagger hadn't even pierced your skin. It was nowhere near it and here you were crying over it hurting!" Taehyung said and Jeungguk gulped at the words spoken. "Since you think I will cause harm to you, I will show what kind of harm I can cause." Taehyung said as he made his way over to Jeungguk.

But Jeungguk being Jeungguk and quick-witted he flung himself off to the other side of the bed as he muttered a sorry. "Sorry baby! I didn't mean it!" the mafioso said as he ran around the room with Taehyung hot on his trail.

"May you always be this happy in life." Yoongi whispered to himself as he saw the two running around. "baby! Not the dagger again!" he heard Jeungguk scream as he saw Taehyung take out his dagger.

"Oh perhaps you want a longer blade? Woo, pass me the long knife from behind you." Taehyung said but Jeungguk only whined in return. And so after a while more, the two calmed down and it was decided to return to their house the next day. 

note: phew. now that was rather long.
