Taehyung is tired.

It's been a long day as it is, having to deal with classes and all, especially the people too. Just because time has passed, doesn't mean people would stop their attacks on him - even if he is the captain of the basketball team.

Practices have been intense, and Taehyung is barely keeping it together. His body is drained of energy, and he has almost passed out a couple of times due to the exhaustion.

On top of it all, his brother.

Who's now breathing the same air as him while being in the same school.

He doesn't seem to be bothered by anyone as the rest of them are, despite being a foreigner, and well perhaps that's because he made a statement on his first day of classes by breaking someone's leg when they tried to be snarky with him that he's not one to mess with.

Even if he did get in trouble for it, no one bothered him again since there.

The two don't talk in school, more so Taehyung avoids him.

He knows that if Karma has a chance to find his presence within the crowd, he wouldn't care about where he is or how, but he'll assert his utter revenge.

In front of everyone.

Minho doesn't seem to be struggling with having him in class, and Ariana has made no comment on the issue too.

KArma's just..... Existing.

A quiet ticking bomb, just about ready to explode.

"Tae!"

Taehyung's perks his head up, smiling to see Ariana and Woosung rushing towards his side with books on their hands.

The school day ended, now everyone goes to their other activities - Woosung with football and Ariana with Cheerleading, to which isn't a surprise that she got accepted into it.

"I survived my chemistry test!" Ariana beams happily, "I know I probably failed but I finished!"

"On contraire to me, I think I did a great job in my statistics exam," Woosung's puffs happily, and arm around Taehyung's shoulders, "What about you? Ready for practice today?"

No.

But he won't tell them that.

"Sure," And he sighs heavily, "I'm just tired today-"

The words were caught in Taehyung's throat, especially with any sense of his surroundings.

All it took was to catch a glimpse of that familiar red-haired man.

Him.

Karma.

Taehyung's entire body is frozen as Karma walks the opposite direction of where he's going. He didn't seem to notice Taehyung, or so he made it seem as though that was the cases.

But then his eyes flickers to him just as the obstacles of people were out of the way, and Taehyung couldn't break away from his sharp and deadly gaze.

The two didn't break eye contact, not until they passed each other - Taehyung now given enough room to breathe.

He didn't do anything.

Taehyung would assume he would do something but..... He didn't....

Why-

Taehyung suddenly flying to the floor from one second to the next, fully collapsing on the ground - sprawling all of his books in scatters, including his homework and assignments.

Looks like he wasn't the only one who faced the impact because Woosung slammed to the locker and Ariana is right beside Taehyung with all her books on the ground.

Followed by chuckling.

"Ha! Fucking foreigners!"

Laughter and snickers echo around them as the boy who started this laughs hysterically with his group. Taehyung stayed on the ground with teeth gritted as the mocks continues - especially with Taehyung and their attempt in speaking in a poor French accent, just as Ariana quietly picks up her things along with Woosung.

It won't stop.

This never stops.

What can they do at this point?!

The boy who tripped him gives a final snicker at him before he turns around, but abruptly a hand slams his head against the locker with a brutal full force.

The guy screeches painfully, eyes burning in tears as he sees the firing range of Karma standing before him. But Karma wasn't done.

Karma grabs the other boy from the group and punches him across the face before throwing him against the other set of lockers across. The girl who tripped Ariana was met with his death grip on her neck as he shackles her to the locker twice before she falls to the ground. The last boy was met with Karma's knee as he grabbed his head and kneeled his face before sending him to the ground with once last punch.

Taehyung watched in horror as this happens, seeing the familiar rage as Karma grabs the leader, who he slammed his skull against the locker, and pins him against the lock of one for the lockers, a pen to his neck.

"You son of a bitch think you're funny? I find this so fucking funny now," Karma breaks a laugh, grabbing a fist full of his hair and slams his head back once against the locker with full force, forcing a pleading groan out of the other boy, "If you touch my brother again, I will break your fucking legs while you're conscious. Do you understand!"

The boy cries but he nods to him, "O-Okay."

Karma snarls his teeth and sends him off with one punch right on the nose before throwing him on the floor and kicks his face over and over again.

And he couldn't stop.

He can't stop on his own.

Arms around him yanks him back, away from the unconscious boy on the floor with a face completely unrecognizable.

"Karma stop!"

A fist flies through the air and it lands right on Taehyung's face, releasing his brother immediately.

Taehgung collaspses against the lockers, a hand on his jaw to where he felt the hit.

Karma is strong, can't even deny that.

Stronger actually.

He's a fucking animal.

Karma bares his teeth as he looks at him, stepping forward and immediately Taehyung scrambles back.

Fear.

Complete and utter fear.

Something flashed Karma's eyes as he saw Taehyung do that simple action, something that made him stop moving, but just as quickly as it flashed, it went away with an empty and threatening stare.

"You deal with me only, no one else," And he sends a final look to Woosung and Ariana, specifically to Ariana.

She's not holding onto a look of terror as everyone is looking at him with.

As if he was a monster.

His face subtly falls to this and he turns around, not saying another word, while everyone makes way for the raging king.

Becky:
Bow down to your Queen

What?

Natti:
Tf you're shitting now?

Becky:
I talked to the older brother

Becky:
And he helped me

Becky:
You're welcome

Ariana:
That explains..... A lot

Becky:
Not gonna lie, the man had me foldedddddd

Becky:
He called me many pretty names and wanted me to go to Korea to meet with him and for him to treat me for dinner

Anitta:
He's going to Korea?!

Becky:
No!

Becky:
Well, I don't think so

Becky:
However there's something I do agree with him

Becky:
His words are a temporary reliever

Becky:
He can only do so much from far away

Becky:
Lmfaooo wanna know what this bitch said to?

Becky:
Apparently Karma is interested in Ariana and that Ariana should sway him a little so he can cool off

Becky:
He described him like a street dog, who needs attention, and then he'll lower his behavior

Becky:
Talk about cliche

Natti:
Wait he's interested in Ari?

Anitta:
I knew it

Doja:
What a way to win a man's heart, just by snapping his arm almost off

Ariana:
I don't understand how he's interested in me

Becky:
I don't know how men work

Doja:
lol but Ari ain't gonna do all that

Doja:
.... Right?

Ariana:
The idea of Karma feeling any feelings for me is literally impossible

Ariana:
Besides, if I use him, wouldn't it just giving into what he wants? To control me?

Becky:
Well not exactly

Becky:
He thinks you'll be interested; in reality you're just leashing an animal to stop wanting him to dismember his brother in half

Becky:
But as Doja said, we ain't doing all that

Becky:
..... Right?

Ariana:
I only care about my friends

Ariana:
I would hate is someone did that to me

Ariana:
Karma is an asshole, but I'm not sticking to that level

Becky:
Yes thank you

Becky:
Now that we got that settled, I'm gonna keep talking to Eden

Doja:
You seriously got whipped for the psychotic brother?

Ariana:

A/N:

Not going to lie, I'm liking the energy between Becky and Eden.

I envision a story while writing their part, almost like a Cinderella mixed with a sleeping beauty story.

Imagine Becky growing up as a cartel princess, to then having another empire murder her family and boyfriend of the time. She ran away with her mother to another far away country, not before losing her memory due to the trauma of the event that happened. Years later, her mom remarries to her step-dad with a brother and sister, and Becky is the servant of the house, especially after her mom passed away from sickness. Suddenly at school, a mysterious yet rich body suddenly attends, Eden. He grew popular immediately with his other siblings: Taehyung, Karma, Valencia and Tigresa.

One day Valencia invited everyone to a party at her house, since their parents were away. Becky ended up attending with the help of one of her step-brothers - Who warned her that she had to return home by midnight, since that's when their father returns back home.

However, while looking for a bathroom, she found a room filled with weapons inside. Even though she should've been scared, she isn't. She took out her pocketknife of her own, with an initial on it. She doesn't know where it came from, but she knows she always had it. Out of intrusive action, she threw the knife and it pinned to the target - right at the center.

Without realizing that one of the siblings, Eden, caught her. He doesn't seem alarmed, but he tested her skills with a knife of her own. Becky was also shocked at how well she defended herself, the two-building chemistry at that moment, just as the clock struck midnight and she had to run away - leaving the knife behind.

Hmmm..... I don't know, this was just a random idea. Becky and Eden from this story really did inspire this topic. Who knows, maybe as this story progresses and we see more of their interaction, maybe it'll be something that'll happen?

I don't know lol

I'm also getting a lot of inspiring ideas for Karma and Ariana, but hmmm let's see!

I was listening to these songs while writing their story:

Alibi - Sevdaliza, Pabllo Vittar & Yseult

Tiempo De Vals - Chayanne

Rosa Marchitada - Jaziel

Toxic - 2WEI

Feeling Good - Avicii

Let me know your thoughts!

I PURPLE YOU!! <33
