Jungkook took a deep breath from his cigarette, staring out of the car window while one hand remained wrapped around Taehyung's thigh. He had convinced Taehyung to return with him to his main hideout. Taehyung had made him promise to not further harm Jimin until they would find a solution for him. Grumpily, the Joker had complied.

Now, he wanted something in return.

"I want you to meet my men, my little clowns. They like fun, nearly as much as I do", Jungkook said, chuckling a bit before turning his attention back to Taehyung. Without breaking eye contact, he lifted Taehyung's hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to his hand.

"You decided to be mine. Now I'll show you what it means to stand by my side."

Taehyung offered him a small nod of consent, seeming to agree with the Joker's words. He still felt in some kind of daze and only Jungkook's voice seemed to pass through to him. It was like this since electricity had forced the truth out of him. All of Taehyung's being had narrowed down to one single person and the wish for revenge in his heart.

Without both, he feared to be nothing.

The two stared at each other fascinated, both not being able to keep their hands away from each other. Twin stars, captured in each other orbits.

Namjoon coughed which broke their fascination.

"Mr J, we're back."

Jungkook huffed but then, a smile curled his lips upwards, smoothing Taehyung's hair out in a gentle gesture.

"Ahh, for the first candidate to introduce! This is Kim Namjoon, my brain! He's so good with working out boring plans without blowing things up ehhh boooring! But he's responsible for back up plans and overall being my favorite underling, ain't that right, Joonie?!" Jungkook let out a mad little giggle. Namjoon didn't flinch to Taehyung's surprise, seemingly used to this sort of crazed behavior.

He only bent his head, offering Taehyung a friendly little smile, making a dimple appear on his cheek.

"Yes, Mr. J."

"Loyal to the core, only disappointed me when you brought that pink thing into the fun. We'll see whether he'll be useful or not, hm." Jungkook clicked his tongue, lost in swirling thoughts, his suspicion about the boy Namjoon brought in had to wait. Time would tell whether he would be useful, an ally, a traitor or useless.

Jungkook snapped out of his thoughts, pressing a kiss to Taehyung's temple.

"Namjoon, I want you to meet my beloved, my Darling, the ache in my crotch, our new Queen! This is my Taehyung", he introduced the grey-haired, sneaking a possessive hand around the male's slender waist to pull him even closer.

"Lovely to meet you, Mr. Taehyung." Again, only a polite greeting and a nod. Namjoon seemed so reserved, so unlike the chaotic criminal sitting in the back.

"Just Taehyung is enough", Taehyung quickly said, feeling weird to be addressed so formally. After all, he wasn't the boss so it was weird to him. Yet Jungkook was quick to jump in, dark possessiveness bubbling up.

"No no no, only I get to call you casually. Don't give me ideas to kill a useful man, Darling because I can and I would. For you."

°°°

Taehyung was pulled into the Joker's hideout, his minions already gathered and talking among each other until they got sight of their boss and all conversation died out. Jungkook grinned widely, claiming his place in front of the awaiting crowd, all of them wearing a mask each. He shortly nodded at Yugyeom, Minjae and Bogum while Namjoon was taking a place in the inner circle behind the Joker.

Jungkook clapped his hands and all of their attention was on the returning Joker.

"Hellooo, my favorites! My dear clowns, I am back! I've had a nice little vacation at Arkham, had a bit of fun! Now I'm back with souvenirs! The Batman, our beloved Batsy is back at the fun house and cannot wait for me to play with him!"

Cheers erupted from everyone, causing Taehyung to shift uncomfortably in his spot next to the widely grinning Joker.

"But that's not the reason I wanted to see you! We're about to create chaos again, celebrating my return from prison and showing all of the bad bad people who's the King of the city!" Jungkook widened his arms as the cheers grew louder, his smile deepening while dangerous eyes scanned over the crowd.

"And right now, you will be the first to meet the Joker's Queen." With a wide gesture of outstretched arms, Jungkook gestured towards Taehyung who gulped. Dark eyes captured his and Taehyung seemed unable to look away.

Breathlessly, he allowed the Joker to approach him, bend over his frame and capture his chin in order to press a short, sweet kiss to parting lips. Taehyung's eyes fluttered close as he allowed Jungkook to explore him, taste the man on his tongue and losing himself in the presence that was now his lover.

When Jungkook pulled away, Taehyung was in a daze, staring up to the dark-haired who wrapped a possessive arm around the smaller.

"This is my Darling boy, Taehyung. You will treat him with the same respect you give me, you will not harm or even fucking look at him directly and you will protect him with your life." The Joker's eyes suddenly narrowed, a warning in his eyes.

"Anyone being mean to him gets a bullet, am I clear?" he snarled, tugging onto Taehyung's waist to press the boy closer, the beauty stumbling against him with a surprised gasp. The Joker stared at his suddenly silent minions all looking at Taehyung.

The beautiful male who was pressed against their boss' side, a gorgeous little angel shyly tugging on his shirt. He seemed intimidated, shy, easy to push over. Far too stunning for his own good, some thought. All of them were criminals, following the Joker's footsteps, they didn't know mercy.

But when the beautiful boy lifted his head, they saw the same dangerous fire glowing beneath his innocence that the Joker possessed which made all of them simultaneously quiver in fear. Time would show whether they would respect Taehyung. For now, they were wary.

Which the Joker also sensed. He knew it was a bold move, to introduce Taehyung to his gang but he believed in the grey-haired, believed that Taehyung could make them bend down in front of him, all by himself and without Jungkook's help.

Still, a little bit intimidation at the beginning had never failed to do its job.

"I SAID AM I FUCKING CLEAR!" He bellowed at his men who all dropped to one knee in respect, looking away from the gorgeous male by their boss' side. The Joker's Darling boy.

"Yes, Mr. J!" The unison shout satisfied Jungkook and he dismissed them with a wave of his hand. All quickly scrambled away, relieved to be released from the Joker's dangerous attention.

Seokjin stood frozen next to Namjoon, the other's arm wrapped around him. The higher subordinates under the Joker's reign should stay for a more private introduction and instructions regarding Taehyung's safety and well-being, including Seokjin who was by now glued to Namjoon's side.

Seokjin didn't know why he couldn't leave Namjoon alone, he felt dependent and at his mercy for saving him from his previous 'owner'. He was truly grateful for Namjoon and didn't know how to repay the taller except the ways he was taught. Except that Namjoon didn't accept that, gently pulling Seokjin away when the other had tried to seduce him.

Saying, he didn't save Seokjin to enjoy his body but rather because he had seen how broken Seokjin was. He admitted he found Seokjin beautiful but Namjoon didn't want to take advantage of his confused and shaken state.

So for the time being, Namjoon had offered Seokjin a place to stay, being respectful and friendly. And further confusing Seokjin's abused heart. He wanted to be loved, wished for a place to belong, to matter. He would've never expected the Joker's lair to be that place.

Lost in his thoughts, Seokjin's eyes traveled over Taehyung. He seemed like a lovely young boy, yet that complete innocence was gone. As if it never existed.

There was something different about the way he held himself, at least for Seokjin's eyes. Something... darker glowing in his eyes. The boy, Seokjin had encountered in that car, was gone.

After seeing Taehyung escape and not telling anyone, Seokjin had truly hoped he could escape the Joker's toxic clutches. Seeing him back in the Joker's possessive embrace was quite a shock, especially since he seemed to be willingly standing by Jungkook's side.

"You heard what I told you. Taehyung is to be considered my equal and you will treat him as such. He's my lover and I expect you to protect my Darling. Fail him and you fail me", Jungkook announced darkly. The protectiveness made Taehyung's heart flutter. Jungkook scanned over the people he considered closest, most trustworthy. They weren't entirely reliable to him, rather useful at the moment since he didn't trust anyone in that circle, for one exception now.

"And you all know what happens if you fail me."
