⚠️15+ Scene Ahead.⚠️

Once inside the party, every gaze turned toward the woman in blue. Sri dropped Taehyung's hand without a glance back and strode confidently ahead, her presence pulling attention as naturally as iron filings to a magnet.

It didn't take her long to realize that Arin had played her—this wasn't a small, intimate gathering but a wild party. Yet, she didn't mind bringing Taehyung along. In fact, a mischievous smile curled on her lips at the thought.

"Hey, darling," a man in his late thirties drawled, stepping into her path. A glass of wine dangled from one hand, a cigarette perched lazily between his lips. His eyes scanned her shamelessly. "Wanna have some fun tonight?"

Taehyung's jaw clenched, his fists tightening with suppressed anger. He wanted nothing more than to knock the man out.

Sri, however, remained perfectly calm, one brow arching in amusement. "Sure." The man grinned, already entranced by her sultry demeanor. But before he could say another word, Sri smoothly plucked the cigarette from his lips and dunked it into his wine glass.

"When cows start climbing trees," she said coolly, tilting her chin up in victory before striding past him.

A collective "Ooooh" rippled through the crowd, followed by murmurs of amusement. The man stood frozen in disbelief, slowly realizing he'd been humiliated. His cheeks burned as he slinked away in embarrassment.

A quiet laugh slipped from Taehyung's lips. That's my girl.

He trailed behind Sri, watching as she sauntered toward the cocktail stall. She slid onto a stool with effortless grace and ordered a drink, not sparing him so much as a glance.

Taehyung scanned the room. It was a chaotic, hedonistic scene—a nightclub set in a motel, with dim lights, blaring music, and drunk partygoers swaying to the DJ's beats. Velvet couches lined the walls, occupied by spoiled brats hooking up with girls, while strippers danced provocatively on stage.

He swallowed hard, feeling a wave of unease. This wasn't his scene. The air felt thick and oppressive, making his chest tighten. He longed to step outside for some fresh air but knew he might not be let back in. Taehyung had always been the quiet, well-behaved type—parties with Seokjin or his colleagues were tame compared to this madness.

Lost in his thoughts, he didn't realize that he had become the center of attention. With his sharp features, soft brown hair, and striking presence, he looked like a god among men. In an instant, five girls in bikinis surrounded him.

"Hey, hottie," one of them purred, her voice dripping with flirtation. Another reached out to caress his cheek, but he caught her hand midway, stopping her with a firm but polite gesture.

The girls giggled, undeterred, throwing indecent comments his way that made his skin crawl. He felt trapped, a deer surrounded by wolves. Desperately, he searched for a way to escape their circle.

Just then, the lights flickered off, plunging the room into darkness. Chaos erupted as confused voices filled the room. The brief power outage was part of the plan, lasting only two minutes—but it was enough for Taehyung to slip away from the predatory girls.

When the lights came back on, everything returned to normal—or at least, the party's version of normal. Sri was back at the cocktail stall, lazily sipping her drink.

From her vantage point, she spotted Jungkook reclining on one of the velvet couches, a girl draped over him like a decorative accessory. His fingers lazily traced patterns on the girl's bare back, but his sharp gaze remained fixed on Sri. She gave him a subtle nod, knowing the Titans had successfully infiltrated the party.

After her earlier encounter with the man in his thirties, no one else dared approach her. She scanned the room, her sharp eyes taking in every detail. She noted the CCTVs discreetly mounted on the walls, the handful of bodyguards stationed throughout the space—and most importantly, the absence of Bryon, their target.

A figure slid onto the stool beside her. He was tall and sharply dressed, with a chiseled face and slicked-back hair that gave him a dangerous, bad-boy vibe. "Hello, gorgeous," the man said smoothly, his deep voice carrying a hint of playful arrogance.

Sri turned her head to meet his gaze. His eyes lingered briefly on her exposed cleavage, but unlike the others, he didn't make any crude comments.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked with a confident smile.

"Why not?" Sri replied with a small smirk.

The man's grin widened. "Name's Kai, by the way."

Sri leaned back slightly, swirling her drink in her hand. After some casual exchange of words she asked, "Kai, do you happen to know where Bryon is?"

Kai's smile didn't falter, but his eyes flickered with a hint of suspicion. "He's in his room, enjoying the night. Won't be coming out anytime soon."

"Oh, I see," Sri said, her tone casual. But in her mind, she rephrased his words: He won't be coming out ever again. She smiled, sipping her drink slowly as she prepared for the next step in the game.

"Yah! JK, he's flirting with your Noona!" Jimin called out from across the couch, his eyes fixed on Sri, watching her interaction with Kai.

"Why don't you mind your own business?" Jungkook replied, lazily swirling the drink in his hand.

By "business," he was referring to the two girls sprawled on Jimin's lap for the last fifteen minutes. One of his hands was on a girl's chest, the other shamelessly gripping the other's buttcheeks. The girls giggled as they kissed his face, treating him like a poster plastered with lipstick marks.

"Girls are more addictive than alcohol," Jimin slurred with a laugh, reveling in their attention. Jungkook rolled his eyes in annoyance. But whenever Sri was involved, this woman-obsessed Jimin morphed into an overprotective older brother.

Suddenly, Jimin shot up from his seat, rage flashing across his face as he saw Kai's hand creep down to message Sri's waist, his face leaning dangerously close to hers for a kiss.

Jungkook grabbed Jimin's arm before he could storm over and ruin everything. "Someone else will take care of it," he assured. He was ready for the show.  

As predicted, Jimin saw Taehyung shoving the guy away and smashing his lips on hers.

Sri's eyes widened in shock as Taehyung's face came into view. For a brief moment, her mind short-circuited. This wasn't part of her plan. She had intended to let Kai lean in, only to dodge at the last second and watch him stumble and fall in humiliation. But Taehyung's actions blindsided her, and now his lips were claiming hers.

Her body grew feverishly warm, and for once, she allowed herself to surrender. His soft, demanding lips stirred something primal in her—something she couldn't resist. All thoughts of resistance melted away. She parted her lips, granting him access, letting him in.

Taehyung's jealousy had ignited like wildfire the moment he saw Kai trying to kiss her—and worse, Sri wasn't stopping him. A wave of possessiveness crashed over him. He had to make her his, right here, right now.

Pushing her firmly against the counter, Taehyung trapped her between his body and the bar, his hands planted on either side of her. His kiss grew more intense, rough with unspoken emotions, as if trying to convey everything he felt but never said aloud. Sri responded with equal hunger, kissing him back fiercely.

In that moment, the Queen of the Titans wasn't in control—Taehyung was.

When they finally pulled away, breathless and flushed, Taehyung leaned back against the wall, panting. "I'm sorry... that I'm not sorry," he murmured, still catching his breath.

Sri's mind was spinning, her body still buzzing from the kiss. Her lipstick was smeared, but it was far from the most scandalous thing happening at the party. No one gave their short make-out session a second glance—except for two very startled onlookers.

Jimin's jaw dropped. He looked as if he'd been struck by lightning. "Impossible... Taehyung... that arrogant bastard!" he gasped.

Jungkook leaned back, a sly smile tugging at his lips. He was relieved that Arin wasn't around to see what had just transpired—otherwise, Taehyung might not have left this party alive.

Despite himself, Jungkook felt a strange sense of satisfaction. He knew how hard Sri's life had been, how she always carried the weight of the world on her shoulders. She needed someone who could care for her—and Jungkook couldn't be that person. Their lives were too similar, too chaotic, too dangerous. But Taehyung? He was different.

Jungkook had noticed it for a while—the way Sri stiffened every time Taehyung was near, the way her tough exterior cracked just slightly when he was around. She tried to keep him at a distance, but Jungkook could tell she was already falling for him.

"No one else could handle her better than Taehyung," Jungkook thought, a satisfied smirk on his lips.

Jimin, still in disbelief, shot Jungkook a horrified glance. "Yah! That was her first kiss!"

Jungkook gave a knowing smile, closing his eyes as if savoring the moment. "I know. And she doesn't regret it."

Before they could dwell any further, Jimin straightened, his playful expression shifting to something darker. "Enough fooling around. It's time for action." He tapped the earpiece in his ear.

"S, am I audible?" Jimin's voice crackled through Sri's earpiece.

"Yeah, I hear you," Sri replied, her voice low but steady. She noticed Jungkook discreetly pulling a gun from the inside of his blazer. Arin was positioned at the far end of the hall, and the other Titans were scattered, ready to strike.

"Everything is set," Jimin whispered. "On my count. One..."

He passed Sri on his way to the exit, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "Two..."

Sri's heart raced. She could feel the tension in the air, thick as a storm about to break.

"And three!"

Jimin slipped out the door just as gunfire erupted, sending the room into chaos.

I need your opinion. Shall I keep Jungkook for Taehyung or against Taehyung?
When the couples will get united shall I make Jk go against them or he shall support them.

Think and answer what do you want. I will go with the majority.

Also, my exams are stating. Therefore I will slow down the updates of this book as I cant write new chapters. Other ongoing books of mine will be on hold. You can check out my completed works if you are bored. Thank you💜
