V's eyes have darkened upon seeing the terrified expression in Taehyung's gorgeous face, eyes moving around in huge distress and the man growled angrily because he knew what must've caused this.

"Of course... how could I forget about this nuisance", he groaned, knowing the reason behind Taehyung's fear and he felt anger rising in his chest because that asshole of course couldn't stay away like V told him to, no he had to ruin his almost perfect plans.

After all, this guy was almost as annoying as that boyfriend of his Taehyung was. "Do not let him fool you, he will try to get under your skin and if he does, don't give in to him. He looks charming but he's a devil in disguise. Never forget that you're mine, that manipulative bastard won't get you", V hissed out.

"W-wait! D-don't leave!", Taehyung squeaked anxiously, looking scared over his shoulder and it would've warmed V's cold heart if he wasn't panicking. "I have to fix this, need to pull him away and for that I have to go back to this annoying bunny", V swiftly said while Taehyung's glossy puppy eyes stared up confused to him.

"I don't understand...", he whispered and then flinched before pressing his hands against the glass surface. "P-please V, please let me out, this is so scary, I don't want this", Taehyung cutely sniffled and V cooed, still careful so not one inch of his skin was touching the mirror.

"Don't worry, my precious Baby, I will take care of this, you don't have to be afraid. He won't be able to touch you, he might love to break promises but I'm more cleverer", V grumbled and Taehyung released a scared whimper. "H-he gets closer", he whimpered and V cursed underneath his breath.

"Then I gotta reach that bunny faster", he grit out before stuffing the mirror back into his pocket. A sobbed terrified 'V!' nearly caused him to touch the mirror and get back to Taehyung but that would entirely ruin his plans and he wanted to live in the real world together with his sweet Baby.

"No matter how hard you try to make me come back to you, you will not succeed", V hissed before starting to run back into the direction of Taehyung's and Jungkook's shared apartment.

°°°

Taehyung heavily leaned against the glass once more, pressing his small body against the cool surface and suppressing a whimper when he heard another giggle. He was absolutely horrified and looking around frantically in order to find something to protect himself with.

"Whoever you are, leave me alone! I-I have a big scary weapon!", Taehyung screamed into the darkness, his voice trembling from the way his heart was beating so fast, his anxiety fogging his mind and forcing sobs through his throat.

"Then where is that big scary weapon you're talking about?", a voice came from his left side and Taehyung screamed, pressing himself against the glass, eyes fearfully fixated into the darkness and trying to spot the person the voice belonged to.

"S-show yourself and I show you my weapon!", Taehyung yelled, his voice growing louder to make him feel more confident but it was not helping at all, the sensitive boy even flinching from his own booming voice while he trembled against the mirror.

"Aren't you a cute sensitive one, so unlike the defiant one, you're lovely", the dark voice chuckled, sounding incredibly deep and dangerous which send shivers down Taehyung's spine. Teary puppy eyes stared helplessly into the shadows and trying to find the culprit while the other found his pleasure in staring at the cute thing before him.

His looks were pleasing, sweet and soft which was so unlike the obsessive salty other. The other man decided that he liked this cute little angel far more than V.

"You wanna see my face?", Taehyung could almost hear the smile out of the man's voice, knowing it was a man from how deep and tenor his voice sounded. The scared blond although wasn't really sure if he wanted to see the other man, fear turning his veins into ice. But maybe, just maybe he could help him escape this scary prison V has locked him inside.

When the man came into view, Taehyung gasped, the shadow coming closer until his profile was engulfed with the soft blue light of the surrounding mirrors. He was tall, with broad shoulders and a perfectly sculptured body that called out for attention, built with threatening muscles and endless confidence.

He looked familiar, so scarily familiar and when the man confidently moved into the light so his face was visible, Taehyung gasped once he realized who it was and why he was so familiar.Taehyung nearly broke down from relief.

"K-Kookie? Oh my god, did V lock you inside of here as well?!", Taehyung exclaimed, watching the man coming closer. It was Jungkook, the same features of his beloved coming closer to him, he looked as gorgeous as ever and Taehyung's heart ached from how much he has missed his boyfriend.

"K-Kookie... w-wait", Taehyung then whimpered because the man stepped too close, dangerous black eyes fixed on his face before cold fingers caught his chin and brought it upwards. A smirk curled the man's rosy lips Taehyung was so familiar with yet something felt wrong about the man.

Because Taehyung knew his Jungkookie inside and out so he just knew that this wasn't the one he loved. Could this be...? How was this possible? Was this man... also a reflection?

"You're not my Jungkookie... w-who are you?", Taehyung whimpered out in a tiny voice while the man caressed his bottom lip with his thumb, using his other fingers to capture Taehyung's jaw with fingers that felt so familiar yet so wrong.

"I don't know which Kookie you mean but I'll gladly be your new Kookie, y'know. And you can just call me... Jeongguk."
