A/n : Idk what's wrong with this fandom :/ Like why can't they just keep things simple and accept PTD and BTS as the way they r? Nvm...I'm sure social media has enough battles as it is...I don't wanna talk abt this anymore coz I feel even more pissed when I think abt this >:(

~ When The World Has Dealt Its Cards ~ 

*TAEHYUNG'S POV*

"How many times do you need to be rejected, Elle?", Yoongi hyung sneered at her. 

She scowled at him before looking at me and walking towards me. 

"Keep your fucking hands to yourself! Yeonjun isn't here to protect your dainty self.", I spat out at I looked at her with disgust evident in my face. 

"I wouldn't be touching you. Not just yet.", she said coolly as she crossed her arms across her chest. 

"Then, mind explaining why you're barging into Taehyung's life?", Jimin asked coldly, any trace of his warm, sweet and flirty persona absent. 

"I don't owe you one.", she spat out as she shot a glare at him. 

"I think you do. And if you don't, you don't want to see what I can do.", Yoongi hyung growled as he balled his hands into fists. 

She scoffed and said,"What will you, a pathetic excuse of an ex-mob boss, do to me, the bloodline of the biggest mafia boss, in Daegu!? You make me wanna laugh, Min Yoongi." 

Yoongi hyung's eyes narrowed as his expression became stoic, masking his reaction to her jab. 

"Just because I'm not active anymore, doesn't mean I've lost my edge, Choi Elle. I can dig up every fucking skeleton from your closet and torture you to incapacity. You will be begging me to kill you then and I being the merciful person I am, will gladly do so. Not much of a clemency on my part. More of respite on yours.", Yoongi hyung said darkly, his voice a low and sensual whisper. 

A chill ran down my spine. 

This wasn't Min Yoongi...

This was...

The King of Daegu...

 Elle's confidence faltered a bit, as fear flashed through her eyes for a split second before regaining her composure. 

"I won't let you touch a single hair on Taehyung's head. And I promise that.", Jimin said with fierce intensity dripping from his voice. 

"Jimin, Hyung. No.", I said as I stood in between them and Elle, blocking the vision of both sides. 

"Tae...you can't do this alone.", Yoongi hyung hissed. 

"I know what I'm doing hyung. And it's a battle I'm not going to lose.", I assured them. 

"Tae, this time it's the limit. Either you submit to them or let us fight alongside with you.", Jimin said heatedly. 

"Jimin. I understand your sentiments. But this is my shit to figure out. I can't let you all step into this.", I said sternly. 

"Chim. Let the man have his say.", Yoongi hyung said as he touched the younger male's shoulder. 

Jimin looked at Yoongi hyung for a few seconds and then sighed. 

I turned to face Elle, who had a bored look plastered across her face. 

The very thought of having to deal with her made my blood boil. 

And moreover, she had somehow magically managed to recruit the innocent JK on her side. 

"Choi Elle. I'm pretty sure you're not here just for the sake of being here. Who sent you? Is it my father or that pathetic Yeonjun!?", I asked angrily. 

"How stupid and naive can you be!? As if I'm answering any of your questions.", Elle said with an eye roll. 

I glared at her, before walking over and gripping her arm by force. 

"Now, answer my question, before I dislocate your entire arm.", I said icily. 

I didn't care...

I would protect my hyungs and JK...

Even at the cost of possible expulsion...

"Let go off me! You're hurting me!", she cried out as she tried to free herself. 

"Answer. The. Damn. Question.", I spat out every word, squeezing her hand harder. 

"Ow! Fine! Let go off me first!", she yelled, finally yielding. 

I smirked.

You were never a strong character...

Elle...

I know you better...

Than ever...

 "Yeonjun sent me.", she admitted as she massaged her arm and shot me her choicest of scowls. 

"For what!?", I growled as I began to see red in front of my eyes. 

That asshole...

He's going to pay...

In the worst manner possible...

"I don't know.", she said instantly. 

"What the fuck do you mean!? If I find out that you're lying-.", I began saying but I was interrupted by Yoongi hyung. 

"She's telling the truth, Taehyung. I know.", Yoongi hyung said. 

"Hyung! How can you be-.", I began but stopped when he flashed me a cold look. 

The look...

Which would make anyone...

Tremble in their boots...

"Tell me, Choi. Why is it, that you and your entire family want to haunt the living daylights out of Taehyung? I'm sure that there has to be something other than just him being the heir or shit like that.", Yoongi hyung asked bluntly. 

"I don't know. But, if I find a potential gain in whatever I'm asked to do, I will do it.", Elle said darkly. 

"I see. You're merely just the pawn. Someone else is pulling the strings.", Yoongi hyung said thoughtfully. 

"And that someone is fucking Yeonjun! That son of a bitch-.", I began but was interrupted by Yoongi hyung. 

"Shut the fuck up, Taehyung.", he said in a cold hard voice, very much unlike his own. 

I closed my mouth shut, wearing the best of my frowns on my countenance. 

"I agree that girls like you don't have a sense of morality within them, but this is even a new low for a mob boss's family.", Yoongi hyung said sarcastically. 

"Why, you little piece of shit! Do you think your oh-so-holy self is any better than the likes of us!?", Elle spat out venomously. 

"Stop right there, Choi Elle...", I warned. 

She shot me a glare, before continuing,"I wonder what your little friends would think if I show them solid evidence of every single deed you've done." 

My eyes widened at that.

Evidence...

What was she...

Even going on about...

"What is she talking about, hyung?", Jimin asked before I could.

"Back the fuck off, before I make you!", Yoongi hyung growled menacingly, ignoring Jimin's question. 

"All empty threats, Min Yoongi! That's why you're always going to be a weakling!", she said as she smirked at him. 

 "Hyung! What is she talking about!?", I yelled, not being able to make head or tail of the conversation between the two of them. 

"Oh he knows...he remembers everything...the deepest and darkest secrets of his underworld life...", Elle taunted. 

"Tae...", Yoongi hyung looked at me with guilt in his eyes. 

She was hurting him...

Elle...

She was...

I promised that...

I won't let her...

"You bitch! I've had enough of you!", I said as I pushed her against the wall and my long fingers slowly tightening around her neck. 

"K-Kim...T-Taehyung! L-L-Let...go...", Elle said as she gasped for breath and clutched onto my arm, trying to dislodge it from her throat.

"You hurt him! You fucking hurt him! I'm going to end you! I've had enough of your bull!", I said as my irises darkened.

Her face turned red as I could feel her grip slackening a bit. 

I looked into her eyes. 

That's what my father used to do.

When he took a kill.

And there I saw it.

My reflection... 

In her eyes...

And it was as if time stopped. 

I looked like a monster...

I felt like one too...

What have I become...

Is this all...

For the greater good...

Or the worse...
