When Jungkook entered the room, he looked determined and stoic. He had this sharpness to his eyes with his eyebrows furrowed and bottom lip between his teeth that made Taehyung's dick twitch. He looked restless, taking quick steps towards Taehyung.

"Jungkook, is your ass still hurting–?"

"Shut up!"

Before he could complete his question, Jungkook punched him hard on the jaw. It was so hard that his entire body threw to the side, his mouth falling open and he could bet that blood was forming in it. He took his time straightening up on the chair he was bound to, but this time he didn't look Jungkook in the eye, instead he continued looking down. He inhaled a few deep breaths.

"Okay, speak."

As if the first blow hadn't already broken his jaw, the man in front of him punched him again.

"You monster!" Jungkook shrieked. "I hate you, I hate you!"

"I know." Taehyung muttered.

"What have I ever done to you? You don't leave me alone, you–"

"You don't have to waste you breath, Jungkook. I know what I have done to you and I know how that's made you feel."

"So why? Why did you do it?" Jungkook looked restless and desperate for answers.

Taehyung shrugged, still not looking at him. "I'm a monster."

Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's collar harshly, his jaw clenched and hold tight. Then his palm made its way to his neck, choking him harshly. His hold was too strong, it felt like another push and Jungkook could break his neck in half. The blood was blocking in Taehyung's throat and tears were welling up in his eyes. 

"No I want the real answer! What did you think when you planned on doing this to me?! Tell me!"

As soon as Jungkook's hand left Taehyung's throat, he started coughing, his lungs not enough to inflate oxygen. When he calmed down, he looked straight at Jungkook, meeting his eyes with his glistening ones. 

"That's the thing, Jungkook... I didn't plan anything." His voice shook from how hard Jungkook had choked him, his voice deep yet gruff. "You were totally unplanned and... scary."

"Scary?" Jungkook frowned.

"Oh, so scarry." He laughed, licking his lips. "You're scary... you weaken me. You have no idea what happens in here when you're close. It's so strong..."

"Don't talk in riddles Kim Taehyung I swear–!"

"This is the most direct I've been in my life, Jungkook." He offered, raising his eyebrows to show that he was being serious. Jungkook bit his lip on the way he took his name, it never failed to make a shiver run down his spine.

Taehyung inhaled sharply, looking away from Jungkook.

"How do I-I explain it to you?" The mob boss stuttered. "It's so strong. I'm burning inside– If anything, I beg to you tell me what have I done to you? Why would you make me feel such scary and powerful things that I'd turn down a whole built estate? What else do you want from me?"

Jungkook groaned in frustration, his hands pulling out his hair. He didn't understand Taehyung's words, his actions, nothing. Taehyung spoke in crumbs and riddles and his actions never matched his words.

"I want you to be fucking clear! I want to know how I make you feel! I want you to treat me right. I want you to tell me that you care...y-you care for me, please. Just say it, even if it's a lie."

Taehyung looked up, meeting Jungkook's eyes.

"Untie me and I'll show you how much I do." He said each and every word with sincerity. He didn't know what he'd do, but he was confident he could show it physically. He wasn't good with words, but he could show it.

Jungkook stepped back, his hands wrapping around his chest as if to protect himself from Taehyung, shuddering and looking away. Had Taehyung really hurt him so much?

"No. I don't trust you. You're a backstabber."

Taehyung dropped his head again in an instant. Jungkook just stayed silent until Taehyung lifted his head up again and said,

"Kiss me."

"What?"

"I don't know what else to ask from you." Taehyung said, voice helpless and desperate. "I'm trying to show you how I feel and you wouldn't untie me so just kiss me."

Jungkook laughed sarcastically, shaking his head. He won't be kissing Taehyung, every time he did so, he ended up feeling like shit. Taehyung had a tendency to act like he didn't care after doing anything physical.

"Tell me what you felt when you tortured me." He finally said.

"Defeated. Torturing you didn't work. Nothing worked."

"Worked what?"

"Proving myself that I didn't care or you're not...worth caring for."

Taehyung didn't look up the whole time he said those words, as if guilty of his actions. Jungkook just gawked at him in the long pressing silence that filled the room. Then there were tears welling up in Jungkook's eyes, his heart sinking down to his stomach. So it was true, he truly wasn't worth caring for. Taehyung really did think like that about him.

Not being able to believe Taehyung, Jungkook threw another punch at his face with a loud shriek. Blood seeped down Taehyung's nose as he grunted in pain. He hissed then looked back at Jungkook and said,

"See? You're torturing me. Does that mean you don't give a flying fuck about me, Jungkook? You care, don't you?"

"I'm hurt because of you, you bastard!" Jungkook defended.

"And I was scared–" Taehyung looked away when his voice cracked and inhaled. "You all act as if I'm the cruelest person alive. Aren't you the same?"

"We're just talking about us. You and me." Jungkook reminded, pointing his finger at Taehyung. "Tell me...What did you feel when you had sex with me?"

Taehyung's eyes snapped up in an instant, lips tugging up into a cocky smile. 

"You really wanna go back to that, huh? It felt heavenly, having all of you, hearing you make those pretty noises. It was maddening. You were laughing crazily. I loved it. You were laughing as if you went to hell and to your surprise, it was the best place to be. I liked that both of ours brains were fucked up–"

"Shut up." Jungkook gasped, cheeks flaming red by how shamelessly Taehyung was bragging about it. "I asked how you felt towards me, Taehyung..."

"It's like– when I'm around you I feel like I'm entirely burning. Even right now I– it feels like I'm weakening but I still want to be around you...you make me feel so much I might even die. And I want it back, whatever we had."

The younger was just at a loss a words. He had been wanting to hear Taehyung's explanation since so long, but now that it was out, he didn't know if he could take it.

"You look surprised? Why? Suddenly realised I might be human too?"

"No I just realized I love you."

Taehyung stared at him with wide eyes, a dust of pink on his cheeks. He gaped at Jungkook before muttering, "I'm flattered."

"That's your reply?" Jungkook scoffed.

"...yes?" Taehyung said awkwardly.

"Wouldn't you tell me that you love me too?"

Taehyung shook his head. "That's scary. I'm not there yet but I'm going to say it one day, Jungkook, I promise."

Jungkook shook his head in disbelief, laughing incredulously. "I don't know about a monster, but you're an alien."

"No one's ever told me that before."

There was this adorable pout on Taehyung's lips now, while he continued to look down. There was a moment of silence before Jungkook spoke again,

"I still bled, Taehyung." He said. "It doesn't matter for what reason you tortured me, I still bled. It hurt. I can't forgive you."

"I didn't ask you to."

"Yes, but I can't give you what we had either right now. You hurt me a lot, I don't trust you anymore. I feel like you'll throw it all away just like you did before."

Tears finally cascaded down Taehyung's eyes as he tried to sniffle them back but it didn't work now.

"I've lost you for real this time around, haven't I?"

"Win me back?" Jungkook offered quietly.

"How...?"

"I'm supposed to tell you that as well? Put a little pressure on your brain and think for yourself."

"It's not that..." Taehyung closed his eyes and shook his head, last droplets of tears falling down when he did so. "The last thing I want is that you get hurt and go away from me once again."

"So do the right thing this time,"

"I want to, trust me." Taehyung pleaded. "But my brain can't differ between right and wrong, Jungkook. It's a symptom of being a psychopath. I don't realise it when my actions are hurting you or- or you're liking it. I just do whatever I can to draw a reaction from you. So I'll need your help to learn what's right or wrong."

"It's common sense, Tae... Just be truthful to me and don't physically hurt me. If you do, then show that you care for me. I'm asking what any human would want, I'm not asking for the world, just a little effort." He explained. "I can't be with you if you tie me up and tell your guards to beat me. I need to feel safe around you."

Taehyung nodded silently.

"Just... Treat me like you treat Jimin."

Taehyung's head snapped up in an instant. "Why would you say that?"

"Because you- you protect him and you care for him. You don't hurt him and-"

"What I feel for you and Jimin is completely different." He cut him off.

"What do you feel for Jimin?"

"He's just my friend, Jungkook. Just the way that bag of shit is yours."

"Yoongi?"

"Yeah that." Taehyung said with a disgusting curl in his lips.

"But you're too protective of him! You shouted at me so many times just because I'd say his name– you even dared to point your gun at me."

"He needed protection!"

Jungkook pressed his lips together.

"...You shouted at me again... for him."

"I'm sorry! He needed protection from you lot. Your boss would have done the worse to him, forgive my desperation of trying to protect the only person I had anything close to a friend goddamit!"

Taehyung panted, staring at Jungkook's face which screamed that he wasn't happy with Taehyung shouting once again. He took a deep breath to calm himself down before trying to explain again.

"I grew up with him...it did a number on me when they took him away and turned him into a fucking machine. I've always tried to protect him, that's anything close to human decency I've had until I met you."

"Met me?"

Taehyung gulped and the next time he looked at Jungkook, his eyes were darker, desire furling in them. There was a limit of how much he could contain himself in front of Jungkook. Talking for about an hour without even touching him.

"You know what, I can't do the talking anymore. Come here, I need to show it to you."

Jungkook gasped softly but didn't take a step forward as he was told to do. Seeing that, Taehyung tried again.

"Please?" He asked. "Please come near me, I'm begging you."

Cautiously, Jungkook took a step closer, looking down at Taehyung seated in front of him.

"Jeongguk," he whispered, deep voice husky. Taehyung's face was directly in front of his clothed bulge, and he flushed at the way the mob boss was staring directly at it with no shame, eyes intoxicating and hooded.

"Will you kiss me or should I kiss something else?"
