Jeongguk would have loved to spend his time with Taehyung,lying on his chest. He really would have. The moment he woke up,finding himself on top of the handsome boy he was starstruck. Taehyung, who prefers Jeongguk to be at least 5ft away from him, is now cuddling with him on the couch.

The older man looked so innocent and pure when he was sleeping. He was an angel in disguise, Jeongguk confirmed that now. He looked so peaceful,the urge to kiss him was making the other lose his mind. He wanted to cherish this moment while he still can because he knows Taehyung would flip out if he realises the position they are in right now.

But he cannot. He has to be responsible and go to University like an adult. "Man, fuck being an Adult" Jeongguk thought to himself,groaning in frustration.

he lifted his body up,getting up from Couch. Trying not to make too much noise as he doesn't want to wake Taehyung up. He slowly got off without doing much. Thankfully,he didn't wake him up and now he can get ready and run to university because he is going to be late.

Entering the gates of university after summer vacation is a new type of vibe that the younger hates so much. He hates everything about this place. His villain origin story started when he found out more than half of his classes were in the morning. He is anything but a morning person so this one was hard for him.

Walking around the huge campus to find his class was another thing he didn't like. Despite his hatred for studying,he is actually really bright and intelligent. No wonder he got into SNU. It's not easy but after hard work and determination he made it here. Even his own mother was shocked when she found out her son got into SNU.

So when he first came here he actually got along really well with most of the students. Though he does seem introverted most of the time,he still gets along pretty well with most of the students. He is a prime example of an ambivert. He is also a part of the university Baseball team so he is quite popular among girls because of how hot he is. He is your golden boy of the school who is everyone jealous of.

So He wasn't really surprised when other students here waved at him or made small talk with him as they passed him. Eventually,he entered his business management class. Jeongguk would be honest, he isn't one bit interested in business but he is doing it to satisfy his mother,to make her hard work pay off. He always wanted to do something related to music since that's what he is passionate about but his mother wasn't supportive of that and Jeongguk didn't even try to fight it.

He knows his mother wants him to take over her company one day,As much he doesn't want to. He knows he has to. His mother is already old and he doesn't want her to keep on working till his younger brother grows up to take over,as the man of the house it's his duty to take some of the burden off and be responsible. It's tiring,really tiring.

"Ayo Jeongguk!!" Jeongguk head shot up to see who yelled his name. He sat on his seat and looked back to see his friend,Yugyeom yelling his name out.

He ran over to Jeongguk's seat with a huge smile and hugged him. Jeongguk hugged back and responded with a smile too. "You are too loud"

"You are an asshole" Yugyeom cursed at him as he took the seat next to him.

"Why am I an asshole???"

"Well maybe because your ass didn't hang out with us at all the whole summer vacation!!! " He said talking about their friend group which included just 4 other guys .

"That's not true. We hung out multiple times these past months"

"Once a month is not enough,Guk!" Yugyeom stated,making Jeongguk feel a bit guilty for ditching his friends.

"Fine I'm sorry. I'll try to come out more with you guys. Talking about going out,wanna come tomorrow to the bar? I'm going to sing so you guys can come and then we can like go out after that or something, your choice" Jeongguk tried to make it up to them and Yugueom immediately nodded.

"You really have made this your part time job ha,ofcourse we will come. I'll text the group chat right now" He said to him.

The professor finally came to the class so the other boys didn't have time to talk more. Everyone got to their seats and the professor started to teach the class.

Once the class was over,Yugyeom rushed outside saying he needs to pick his girlfriend up and he would be at the canteen so he will see Jeongguk there since both of them didn't do breakfast so they are just going to grab breakfast there. Jeongguk was a bit bummed he is once again alone and also the fact he is going to third wheel the whole breakfast too.

He hates that but he is happy for his friend. Judging from their relationship they really seem to like eachother alot as Yugyeom didn't even hesitate running out the moment she texted him. Jeongguk wanted to tease him but he wished he had someone like that too.

The thought of Taehyung popped into his mind. He sighed in disappointment. "This could be us but you playing~" he hummed the tune of the song while walking down the corridor. He is playing a losing game. He knows it. Taehyung won't probably never return his feelings but Jeongguk isn't going down without a fight either.

He feels something special with Taehyung. He never felt it with anyone,this new feeling has him starstruck. Letting him go isn't even the question. He would never do that and he doesn't have any plans to either. He will make him fall in love,he will make him realise that may be loving him wasn't a bad idea. He wants to break down all his walls and embrace him.

He knows something in the past happened that troubles him. He already knows how rough his childhood was,he wonders what mistake he made in his teenage years that has made him so hopeless.

While he was busy in his thoughts,his eyes on the floor, He suddenly bumped into someone else. He was going to apologise immediately but when he looked up,he felt like he couldn't breath.

"Jeon Jeongguk,Ha! who would have thought I would meet you here" The man standing in front of him said.

"Siwoo...what the fuck are you doing here?!" Jeongguk clenched his jaw,he was burning holes on the other man's skin with his glare. Siwoo chuckled.

"Aw,now that's not how you greet your ex baby. Why ? Are you surprised someone like me got into SNU? Well some people actually are smart instead of using their mommy's money to get in" Siwoo said,hitting all the spots to make Jeongguk just want to punch.

"Fuck you,You know that's not fucking true. That's not what I meant. Why did you move back to Seoul ?"

"Do I know? we both know you have a superiority complex. You think just because you are rich you can get anything you want. I don't owe you an answer baby" Siwoo provoked him.

"Stop calling me that. Fuck you" Jeongguk cursed at him.

"You know I'm actually not here to argue with you,I am here to actually catch up with you,You know be friends again. I miss you. I actually went to your apartment but you weren't there why is that?" Siwoo said all that like he didn't speak shit about him not even a minute ago.

"Are you kidding me right now? Why would I tell you that? you are still the same creepy bitch you were back then. We can't be friends,we moved past that the moment we broke up. Don't ever come close to me ever again" Jeongguk decided he was not going to waste his time with him and was going to walk away until he heard what he said again.

"You sing at that bar right? What's it called? Mi casa? right. Please expect a visit from me soon. I am not giving you up this easily Jeongguk you should know that" Siwoo told him. Making his breath hitch.

"Don't make me get a restraining order on you" Jeongguk warned him,glaring at him. He walked past him immediately. He could not stand there looking at that cursed face anymore. It made him want to either punch someone or just...cry.

He finally made his way to the cafeteria,thinking a lot on his way there. The cursed man was on his mind and made him think a lot. He dated Siwoo for 2 years,met him in college and they immediately clicked. First year was nice,they were in their honeymoon period but the second second year started it all went downhill. It was miserable.

Siwoo was really insecure and had an inferiority complex against Jeongguk. Unlike Jeongguk who comes up from a rich family,Siwoo was from a middle class family. Jeongguk never in his life made Siwoo think of himself as someone who is below him and treated him the same despite his status. But Siwoo thought differently,he thought Jeongguk might leave him because of that and thought that Jeongguk thought he was higher than him which wasn't true.

He stopped trusting Jeongguk and always doubted him or accused him or cheating of him over absolutely nothing. Whenever he was out with his friends, Siwoo thought he was cheating on him with his friends. No matter how many times Jeongguk tried to convince him it wasn't like that,he was just too stubborn and never believed him.

He took it too far by following him almost everywhere. If being possessive wasn't enough,he followed him whenever he went somewhere without him. Jeongguk didn't like that,he loved his boyfriend. He really did but he was now invading his personal spaces and not trusting him enough. They were fighting almost everyday and most of the time it was always the younger who would apologise when it wasn't even his fault most of the time.

The last straw was when Siwoo hit him for the first time. It hurted like a bitch,the mentally pain was more painful than the physical one and it broke him. He cried for a week straight and then went back the next day,Punched Siwoo super hard almost breaking his jaw and broke up with him right there in his house. After that he heard Siwoo moved to Gwangju and that was the last time he ever saw him.

After that Jeongguk completely forgot about him,moving on with his life and finally living in peace doing what he loves and the fact he is back to ruin his peace makes him so mad. He can't really live at all. He saw Yugyeom sitting next to his girlfriend,feeding her something and just went to the table sighing.

"Jeongguk,you are finally here. What took you so long ? I got here before you even though I was coming from the other building" Yugyeom questioned him. Jeongguk sighed as he finally sat down. Already exhausted.

"Yeah, I met the devil on the way. Hey Jiyoon, you are looking nice today" Jeongguk complimented her in her pink dress.

"I look good everyday,the fuck you mean? anyway!! Did you hear?" Jiyoon asked them with no information.

"Elaborate,Babe" Yugyeom said as none of them had any idea what she was talking about.

"Jeongguk,your ex is back! My best friend told me how she saw A new student come in and I asked her if she knew his name and she said Oh Siwoo. That's your ex name right?" Jiyoon asked him. Yugyeom snapped his head at Jeongguk to see his reaction but he looked..calm? surprisingly.

"Yeah I know. He was the devil who I met on the way" Jeongguk said it like it's nothing

"Are you serious? why the fuck is he back in Seoul? Did he say anything to you? imma beat his ass if I see his creepy ass near you!" Yugyeom exclaimed,obviously not liking the fact he is back.

"chill, he said a lot of shit but can I please eat before I'm super hungry? I don't think you wanna hear the shit he told me with nothing in my stomach. Get me food please" Jeongguk said to him. Yugyeom rolled his eyes and stood up. He is weak for his best friend puppy eyes and he kinda feels bad that Jeongguk had to deal with his shitty ex.

Once he got back with some food for Jeongguk too,he put it in front of him and sat back down next to his girlfriend. Jeongguk took one bite and moaned at how good it was. He really was starving so eating this delicious food made him feel alot better.

It uplifted his mood. Who said food cannot make you happy? absolutely no one. This is absolutely heaven.

"If you are done moaning like Mukbangers when they eat food,can you tell us already what that dickhead said?" Yugyeom asked Jeongguk as Jiyoon laughed at the comparison.

"Yeah he was being a fucking creep once again. He said he wants to be friends again and he missed me,pure Bullshit. missed me, my ass. He said he went to my apartment and was bummed when he found out I didn't live there anymore and kept on asking me where I lived!!!" Jeongguk exclaimed, obviously creeped out by his ex's behaviour.

"Wah,did he go crazy in gwangju??? Did he forget about the shit he did to you? emotionally manipulating you and even raising his hand at you wasn't enough that he came back?? Does he still like you or something?" Yugyeom questioned Jiwon's intentions.

"Sounds like obsession to me" Jiyoon added.

"I think so too. If that wasn't enough,he even knew about the bar where I sing. He told me he would visit me tomorrow,I am not skipping because of him I swear to god if he comes close to me tomorrow its on sight. I just don't know what to do to get rid of him"

"How about getting a boyfriend...a fake one" Jiyoon suggested, making Jeongguk look at her unbelievably.

"What? who would agree to that and we don't even know If that would work"

"You never know until you try it. Maybe if he sees you are taken and obviously not within his reach he might leave you. You can ask one of your guys friends to pretend" Jiyoon idea really didn't seem that bad. But the problem wasn't that.

"No, he knows our friend group so fake dating one of us won't be convincing at all, '' Jeongguk said to her,biting his lower lip trying to think.

"Why not ask your hot roommate?" Yugyeom suggested.

"Hot roommate?" Jiyoon asked.

"Yes,Jeongguk is right now living with these two hot guys and he even fancies one of them. He hit a jackpot if you ask me,saw him at the bar other day and he looked super intimidating."

"Then that's perfect. Ask him! if he looks intimidating that's so good for you,Jiwon might hesitate because of your scary looking fake boyfriend. Invite him tomorrow to the bar and ofcourse we will be there too,lets Jiwon know who he is messing with" Jiyoon explained it more and Jeongguk just wasn't sure. He doesn't know if this idea would work.

"I...fine I'll ask him and see" He gave up,he has to convince Taehyung somehow now.

Taehyung sneezes out of nowhere. Causing Jimim to flinch because of how loud his sneeze was.

"You okay? Did you catch a cold? You sneezed for the 3rd time this past minute " Jimin asks him, Taehyung shook his head.

"Someone is talking shit about me," Taehyung answered. Walking towards the basement with Jimin on his side.

"Probably Jeongguk" Jimin said,following with a chuckle.

Taehyung rolled his eyes,his mind goes to the morning being disappointed that Jeongguk wasn't laying on top of him. He even surprised himself that he missed that feeling. He later read the text from Jeongguk saying he went to university, making Taehyung realise that Jeongguk is indeed very young considering the fact he still hasn't graduated.

Though it's not like Taehyung's forty, he is just four years older than Jeongguk. But he never went to University or even college. He and Jimin were already very grateful to Hoseok's father that he let them graduate highschool. After that they just joined the gang and that's how they lived for the past decade.

"Anyway you still have a lot to explain about last night. Don't think I forgot you made out with Jeongguk last night" Jimin told him, giving him a side eye as he opened the door of the basement.

"It's nothing. We were drunk and it was a mistake" Taehyung answered, like it's obvious. "Yeah let's act like you won't kiss him if you were 100% sober" Jimin rolled his eyes at his best friend trying to act tough.

Taehyung didn't answer him because he wasn't obligated to. His eyes went around the room they were in now. It was pretty dark underground,there was just one bulb in the middle of the room. The atmosphere was very intense and felt too chilly for Taehyung's taste.

His eyes landed on the man tied on the chair,his head held down most probably passed out. The guy was already somewhat bloody and his clothes were super dirty. There was a table right next to him filled with bunch of surgical instruments and some other pieces used to Torture.

"Who is this?" Taehyung asked as he started to wear his gloves walking towards the passed out man.

"Wonjin, He is a member of Sungjae's gang. Now he is onto us,so before he gets us we will finish him." Jimin gave him some information.

"Wait didn't Hoseok used to work with some Wonjin,the new recruit , He is not the same wonjin from Hoseok's department right?" Taehyung asked him hoping for a no but unfortunately that was not the case.

"Nope it's the same one. He is the traitor whose boss asked us to find out. Didn't took a lot of time found his ass copying one of our most important documents at midnight with all our information so caught his ass right there and took him into this lovely room. I did my job, now it's your turn. You know what to ask" Jimin said to him as he walked to the other side of the room with a poker face and sat down on the chair to see the show.

Taehyung sighed and looked at the man who was still unconscious. He kicked the chair from the side,shaking it to wake him up but he still didn't. He took a glass of water and grabbed his hair making his face upward and splashed it into his face harshly.

"Wake up,You fucker!" Taehyung yelled loudly.

He saw the man slowly battling with himself to open his eyes and adjusting to the light as he has been in dark for the whole night. The second he saw Taehyung- well V for him- his eyes widened.

"V! Please help me !!! They brought me here thinking I'm the traitor. Help me V please I swear I don't know an-" Before he could even finish his sentence,Taehyung punched him in the face harshly,there was some blood coming out of his mouth.

"Please Wonjin,don't pretend like we are friends because we are not. I know everything, you don't need to pretend,Come on, let's not waste our time and tell us why Sungjae sent you here to us?" Taehyung got straight to the point since he really doesn't want to talk with this man. The fact is he is a traitor.

"W-What are you talking about V? I have no c-connection to Sungjae at all!!"

"Then what the fuck were you copying in middle of the night? One of the most important files being photocopied and you want us to believe you were going to just fucking read it in home like a news paper???" Taehyung yelled at him,giving him his ice cold popular glare. The other man remained silent.

"Now tell us quickly because I'm pretty sure you have heard what happens in this basement stays in this basement when i'm inside. I don't show mercy to anyone,put my father in this seat and I won't hesitate because anyone who sits isn't a human to me anymore so Tell me quickly or else" Taehyung threatened him as he put his hands on the arm rest going close to the men who was quivering in fear.

He knows what the older man is talking about. You are indeed very lucky if you come out of this basement alive so if he wants to live it's better to obey what Taehyung is asking him to.

"I-I was arrested for multiple charges of rape and assault recently while I was still working here, sungjae knew that and told me he would help me clear my charges if I help him go against you guys. I really didn't want V to believe me but I could not spend 20 years in jail!!!" Wonjin said it's a valid reason to go against them.

"Should have thought about that before committing the crime fucker. You are fucking shit Wonjin I'm glad you are out of here because right now I feel disgusted to stand in the same room as someone like you. Now where are Sungjae's main quarters?" Taehyung asked him politely.

"I don't know" and Taehyung lost it.

"Jimin help me out,Tie his hands to the arm rest. If he wants to disobey then so be it. I don't have time to waste and he should have been considerate of the favour I gave him" Taehyung called the man who has been watching all this time sitting there. He sighed and got up from his seat walking towards him.

"Why don't you just listen to him? you should be lucky he didn't ask you to be tied like this at first place" Jimin said as he took one of his hands and tied it to the arm rest while Taehyung was taking care of the other arm.

Once he was all tied up the fear was visible in his eyes. He tried to get out of it but he could not obviously. Taehyung just chuckled and looked at Jimin. "You can get out I can handle if you don't wanna see it"

"No,I have seen worse. I have to stay in case you lose it" Jimin looked determined and Taehyung nodded because he knows its true. Sometimes he overdoes it and only Jimin can snap him out of it.

"You have very long fingers,10 of them. These are your ten chances. I will cut one each time you don't answer my question. Simple and easy right?" The insane look was already pretty visible. The atmosphere got so much more intense.

Wonjin looked at Taehyung like he was kidding. He scoffed and gave him an unbelievable look but the other wasn't playing around. "Y-you are not serious right? You won't actually cut them off right V?" He tried to get some type of affirmation but got none.

"Try me" Taehyung dared him,the other just gulped harshly as he maintained eye contact with Taehyung's cold eyes.

Taehyung took one of the sharpest knives from the table next to them and grinned at it. He sharpened it with the tool he had. He grabbed one of his fingers. Wonjin started to move around.

"If you move it will hurt more. Don't worry you can get out with a full 10 fingers if you answer every question of mine." Taehyung paused as he once again looked him in the eye. Overpowering him with dominance.

"First,Where is Sungjae's main headquarters?" Taehyung asked in his low raspy voice.

"I don't know- AH!!!" He screamed loudly,looking at the blood coming out of his finger.

Taehyung didn't even hesitate to slash it off with the knife he had. He did it with full power so he can get done with it quickly.

"What the fuck!! what the fuck did you do?!? why did you actually cut it off?? you are fucking insane what the fuck!!!" The tears were coming out of his eyes,he was full on sobbing already.

"I told you, I need answers if you don't give them to me this is what will happen. Be fucking gold I'm only cutting your fingers and not just electrocuting you until you answer" Taehyung said to the man who was crying.

"I swear I don't know where they are. I was still new. He didn't trust me enough to take me to their main base. We always met up in some VIP clubs and shit to discuss" Wonjin sounded sincere,even Jimin thought he was telling the truth but Taehyung was different.

"Come on don't be forced to cut another one. What are you hiding?! you are not looking at me in the eye. You are hiding something" Taehyung asked him,the other still remained silent.

The older man sighed and looked at the bloody hand because of the one missing finger now. Taehyung grabbed another one and once again cut it off. He heard the man scream louder because of the immense pain he was in.

"Fine fine I will tell you everything please-please I beg you stop I don't want to die like this please stop. '' The other man pleaded while crying his eyes out. Even it was getting a bit unbearable for Jimin to look at and he has seen a lot of shit in his life.

Meanwhile Taehyung looked like it didn't affect him at all. After all he caused this. Instead he had this insane look in his eyes. Murderous even. if anyone messes with him right now they won't survive.

"Now we are talking so speak"

"The base is this i-isolated building in the corner of Seoul. It's the same place as where all those same ring fights happen everywhere. T-The abandoned building in front of it is their base. Nobody goes there,they have a s-secret entry to go inside. I didn't lie, I really didn't know just this one day. I got c-curious and followed S-Sungjae's car and got to this place. They n-never enter from front either to avoid suspicion he went inside from the back" Wonjin answered his question truthfully,still in alot of pain.

"Now that wasn't so hard was it? If you answered this before you won't have to lose your fingers. Now,tell us anything that we can use against that fucker"

"I don't know much. Since I was very n-new I only t-talked with the boss and just told him stuff about y-you all. I don't know anything to help you guys but I can tell you the stuff I told him"

"Fine start speaking and if you lie again,I won't hesitate to cut another one off"
