Can't Help Falling In Love With You - Tommee Profitt ft Brooke [Dark]

Jimin can't fucking breathe right now.

This can't be happening.

No, no this is not fucking happening.

Taehyung cannot be here right now!

Shit! What was he thinking!

How did he even find this place!

Jimin's mind is a fucking storm that he didn't even notice when Mother's attention snaps to him the second she heard that whisper from his lips, eyes narrowed before looking back to the guy on his knees.

Karma huh?

"So you're Karma?" She questions, mostly to herself, "Heard of you around, but mainly from Seoul and not in these streets."

Of course she's heard of him - she knows everyone!

And Karma sure has a reputation after coming out of jail.

She turns to Jimin now, nodding towards Taehyung, "You know him?"

Far to well, unfortunately.

If he didn't then this problem wouldn't even be problem right now.

Fuck.

It was as though Jimin was snapped from his trance, now looking at Mother with eyes widen and lips parted, "Um, yeah. He's good, he's with me."

There's something about his tone and his eyes that clearly didn't convince her. It's not like he looks afraid of the guy, but did look startled - meaning he didn't know Karma was coming here in the first place. Jimin tried to hide it well, he really did, but Mother is not one to easily fool.

She can sniff out anything so easily.

And that's what is scaring Jimin more than anything right now.

Mother purses her lips, an eyebrow arching up before casting an eye to Karma, "Is he one of them you told me about?"

Jimin hesitates, but slowly nods, "Yes, he is."

He told her enough about Taehyung and Jeongguk, but little did she know it was actually Karma that Jimin was referring to. She looks a little conflicted by this information, as though she's running through a computer scan in her head of this man in connections to any memory of him.

Until she actually found something.

As to why his name is so important.

She hums, "I heard you're a street fighter, got shit ton of money for it before you got locked up."

He was a what?

Jimin furrows his eyebrows, confused, and to his surprise Taehyung briefly nods in confirmation but with the doubt clearly coated in his eyes, "I was, not anymore."

"Why are you here?"

Then Taehyung's eyes falls to Jimin, lips falling to a small frown, "To.... Make sure I didn't lose him too."

Jimin's heart sank a little, becoming swollen in his chest that it almost knocked all the breath out of him.

He didn't expect this. Anything but this. He didn't expect for Taehyung to go to this length out of fear, just to make sure he didn't lose anyone else in his life. He almost lost his sister, lost Jeongguk but he did come back, and now he's running on fear that Jimin will be following suit in the list of people that'll be ripped out of his hands.

Since when did their, as in the three of them, acquaintance relationship get so layered and laced with.... This.

With fear, sacrifice, dependency over each other?

Not too long ago they couldn't stand being in the same room because of each other's attitude, finding the only way to get along is by forming plans on how to proceed with the plan on getting evidence and using methods of distraction to ease them of the guilt that followed. Even then they wouldn't give a shit to what would happen to each other. They would let each other be used by the other in whatever means necessary, well except for sex from Jimin's behalf, but it was never meant to get further than that.

Since when did it.... Get like this?

When did they actually start to care?

Since when did Jimin cared enough about Jeongguk to risk his identity just so he can be freed, when they could've relied to Woosung investigation to find him? Since when did Taehyung care enough to be so scared of Jimin's safety that it led him all the way here? Since when did they try so hard to make sure nothing bad happens to the three of them?

Jimin doesn't know.

He doesn't know and that's what scares him.

Aside to what Mother is coiling in her head as she processes over Taehyung's words, remaining silent amongst the crowd before slowly nodding, "Is that so?"

Uh oh.

Jimin didn't notice it, but Joshua sneaked up from behind him and roughly yanks his hair back, forcing him to yelp out to the sudden attack and immediately freezes to the harsh pinch of a blade pinning to his neck, followed by an arm over his body so he wouldn't escape so easily.

Joshua.

The fuck is he doing!?

Taehyung's eyes widen, about to stand but the hands on him forced him back down, making this deadly look in his eyes flicker as Mother leans down to him, amusingly forcing a grin on her lips.

"Prove it."

Jimin's eyes widen, sinking in a sharp breath to how deep Joshua kept sinking in the stupid blade while glaring at Mother, "What a-are you doing?!"

Mother didn't respond, only sends a venomous stare to Taehyung as she walks to the side of the circle, leaving him panting with teeth snarled to the hands continuing to push him more and more to the ground. Blood now is sliding to the side of Jimin's neck, forcing another shriek out of him when he tried to escape and the edge is torturously gliding his pulse, whimpering when Taehyung forces his eyes to him again as he glares at the knife.

Jimin can't tell what's mother's intentions are with this, but Joshua would definitely not be afraid to fucking kill him right now on the spot if he felt like it. He's heartless, nothing like the heirs keen on having sensitive emotions for others. It also doesn't help that him and Jimin has some past tension gong on, so really this is Joshua's lucky day.

He only listens to Mother, and if she doesn't say anything, Jimin's died-

That's when it hit Jimin.

What Mother is trying to provoke.

For Taehyung to demonstrate his loyalty. To show what he came here for. To what length he would go to, for Jimin.

And if he fails..... The knife pointed to Jimin's neck speaks for itself.

"K-Karma," Jimin shutters after he gave up trying to escape, unable to by how deathly Joshua's grip was on him, "Come to me..... Be my Karma."

And it was like Taehyung just.... Snapped; His expression, the light in his eyes, his will - everything just snapped from him because the two men holding him managed to push him down to the ground easily. It was the second his chest hit the ground that it was a blur from there.

One of his hands found one of their ankles, not sparing a breath as he yanks the man to the ground with him. So animalistic he suddenly tackles over the his body and throws punches after punches, shrieking through his lips as he let's out all that piling rage and anguish he's been keeping in his heart for years.

And he has never felt so damn free and alive.

His sister is close to being dead if she doesn't wake up.

Jeongguk was taken.

His family hates him.

He's being hunted down.

He has a target to his head.

He went to jail for three fucking years.

He can't fucking take this shit anymore!

HE'S FUCKING TIRED OF IT!

Jimin stayed still with eyes widen as Taehyung appeared as though he was suddenly unleashed from a cage. That adorable smile, horrible puns, and cheeky guy that Jimin got use to being around just completely transformed into a monster. His hands are brutal as he suddenly launches himself to the other guy, doing moves and dodging hits that left Jimin with his mouth ajar.

He never knew Taehyung was a street fighter. To be fair, he doesn't really know anything in regards to the past of him and Jeongguk. He just knows the basics and anything related to the heirs, but this? This is new.

A new side of him that Jimin never expected to witness.

But honestly, what should he have expected? Everyone at one point reaches a limit, and Taehyung has definitely reached the end of his patience.

To just..... Break.

And unleash his bad Karma.

Two men down now, with a few broken bones and blood puddling underneath them, Taehyung has blood splattered all over his face and hands like something that came out of Attack on Titan, and he angrily turns to Jimin and Joshua. But Joshua only roughly lets Jimin go, knocking him down to the ground, now facing Taehyung with the knife in hand.

This actually made Taehyung perk a sarcastic small smile, hooded eyes that his raven wavy hair could almost caress over it. Bloody fists up now, he cracks his neck and spares a glance to Jimin.

Come to me.

Come to me Karma.

Those were the only words echoing Taehyung's head, and it was the pulse he needed to attack first by getting the knife away from Joshua's grasp. This actually left Jimin more shaken up because a knife is fucking involved, and it kept striking up more and more of his anxiety the way Joshua easily and fluidly moved the knife between his hands with every stab he forced through the air, that thankfully Taehyung would miss.

Taehyung dodged well, strike at various open places, but it's clear that he's running out of energy. The fight with the previous two definitely did take out a lot out of him, and he hasn't fought for three years, so he's dying out quickly.

Jimin noticed it, and obviously Joshua did too.

And he took advantage of that.

He didn't use the knife to strike at Taehyung on the gut with his fist, then to lastly kick him on the chest, sending him flying back with the breath literally knocked out of him.

Something happened with Jimin the second he saw Joshua get on Taehyung and raise up the knife, ready to strike at him with every murdering bone in his body. Before that happened, Jimin launches himself off from the ground, sprinting before getting on Joshua's back and yanking him with all of his strength, throwing him aside on the ground aggressively.

Joshua was so taken back by the sudden attack that he didn't even recover as quick as he usually would, but when he did, Jimin already got the knife that was on his hands and rushed to Taehyung's side.

He's breathing, and conscious enough, but clearly weak with doe eyes weakly blinking.

So Jimin bridges over his waist with his own body, hand on the ground with the other holding the knife, with a murderous glare to Joshua when he got to his feet. Jimin snarls his teeth, possessively, similar to a threatening wolf protecting over their fallen lover. All he needed was the animalistic grown to look threatening enough.

Joshua didn't try to go against Jimin, only looks to Mother instead with a pointed stare.

While she held onto a knowing look on her face.

"That's enough," All attention falls onto her, except for Taehyung - who was too busy catching his breath. Mother only looks at Jimin, just as he lowers the knife, "Your initiation begins tomorrow. Your room is still in its place, unoccupied, feel free to make yourself at home."

And she turns around, but then pauses, "Oh and your friend can stay with you too."

Nothing more was left to be said, and no one said anything against it either.

Finally, it's over.

He passed. Taehyung passed.

Jimin only sighs in relief, moving back to sit on his legs and looks down now at Taehyung, who's already staring back at him.

With a soft smile on his lips.
