"Yeonjun! Drive the car towards the bar," Jungkook ordered as he quickly slipped into the backseat.

"Are you okay, Sir? Is something wrong?" Yeonjun quickly inserted the car key and twisted it to start.

"I just received a code from Hoseok. He met Jebb! Drive toward the bar, Jebb must be waiting for me," Jungkook shrugged Yeonjun's seat to hurry up unable to hold his excitement.

"You can't meet him directly, you know that right?" Yeonjun pointed toward the single car in the dark alley, "Mr. Jeon's men are watching you."

"Don't worry, they won't suspect a thing. The rich filthy brats always hang out in that bar. I will feed them some booze and pretend to be meeting them." Jungkook flashed his phone toward Yeonjun.

"Aren't they sons and daughters of those shareholders that you took control over?" Yeonjun asked.

"Bingo! It would look like I am having a simple party with them. So, let's go!" Jungkook hyped and jumped in his seat in excitement. 

We need to begin the mission, Eglan.

I need Taehyung out of the prison first, Mr. Bang. Jungkook demanded.

It's too risky plus we might ruin everything that we have built so far, Eglan.

I don't care about that, Mr Bang. I need him out or else I ain't doing this.

Think about it again, Eglan.

I don't have to, Mr Bang.

Fine. Mr Bang answered.

A soft smile formed over Jungkook's face as he imagined the features of his boyfriend.

It's been two years and he still feels the butterflies in his tummy thinking about him. Jimin would be so happy once he brings back Taehyung to their mansion.

Their mansion.

Their home.

It's all their's now.

Nothing can stop him anymore, now.

Their mission can fuck itself.

He is done working for Mr. Bang.

He is done holding back.

Now, all he wants to do is hold his men in his arms and never let go.

Never let any bitch ever hurt them again.

Jungkook held back the urge to smirk and laugh out loud. His insides were tingling but he could care less.

He never trusted anyone, just as Jimin as taught him.

He never would trust anyone in the future.

Mr. Bang was just a pawn to pull Taehyung out of the prison and get Jimin out of Viper's clutches.

Call him selfish but he just did what Major did.

He ain't sacrificing their lives once again for the benefit of others.

He ain't letting their lives become a tactic for Mr. Bang to take his revenge.

Let's run away from all this. Jungkook reminded himself.

"Sir, we are here. Do you want me to escort-"

"No need, Yeonjun. I can handle it myself." Jungkook quickly unlocked the door and ran towards the bar.

Yeonjun sat there tapping his fingers over the steering wheel. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a number before placing the phone close to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Sir, is it okay for Jungkook to meet Jebb? Yeonjun asked with a stern look. 

"Did something happen? Why would you ask?" The caller asked.

"He just behaved very differently. Something harmful for the mission, Sir." Yeonjun informed.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to pull any tricks. I have a lever on him and that too a very strong one at that." The caller taunted before leaning back.

"Okay, boss." Yeonjun cut the call and stayed there with questions floating around his head.

The caller sunk the phone inside his pocket and glanced at the male who sat before him, "Did you find any difficulty in coming out of the prison?" He asked.

The said male scoffed before leaning forwards, "You sure are a sly fox, Mr. Bang."

"You are in no position to mock me, Major?" Mr. Bang smirked as he interlocked his fingers and leaned forwards, his facial features turning more clear through the small cone of yellow light emitted from the bulb hanging above their head in the dark room.

"Let's complete our deal," Yoongi asked impatiently.

"It's not over, yet."

Yoongi slammed his hands over the table, "I did everything you asked for. I betrayed Taehyung and Jimin. I put myself into prison along with Taehyung just so that you can keep an eye on him. You trapped Hoseok such that he could stay with Jimin and monitor him. You isolated Jungkook in such a way that he could rely only on you. I left him in his most vulnerable time and you caught that moment to use him for completing your revenge. Isn't this enough? What else do you expect me to do?" A tear trickled down his cheeks as the weight of guilt was overpowering his emotions.

"I will let you have Viper. Do whatever you want with him. Consider this as my final deal." Mr. Bang put forth.

"What?" Yoongi asked perplexed.

"Oh, come on! I know how enraged you were to see your boy stripping in front of thousands of men like Jimin. Don't you want that bastard to pay for what he did to your Hoseok?" Mr. Bang smirked as he watched Yoongi clutch his fists with his head out to deep stabbing thoughts.

What a great manipulator am I? Mr. Bang thought.

"Think about it, Major. Help me eliminate Viper. If Mr. Jeon's right-hand man is dead. He is as good as dead too. It won't take too long. What's say? This one deed and you will be free forever. You wouldn't have to run from anything." Mr. Bang put forth.

"Will you close the case of that shipman after this?" Yoongi asked in a nervous tone.

"Isn't it the reason I met you?"

--

Who the hell are you? Yoongi asked as he was held down with his arms folded back.

You are being arrested for killing the shipman of the Yakutso ship. I have a solid amount of evidence against you. Mr. Bang informed.

I...didn't. Yoongi shuddered.

But I won't throw you into prison. Mr. Bang offered.

Huh? Yoongi asked in a confused tone.

Let's cut a deal and I will set you free. Mr Bang smiled slyly.

Yoongi shrugged his head to erase the memories. He looked at the man who sat in front of him with a stupid smirk plastered to his face.

"What do I have to do?"

"Earn Viper's trust."

"How?"

"I am sure he wants to capture, Jimin. Kidnap Jimin and arrange a setup such that Viper comes there to pick Jimin up. You can take over from there." Mr. Bang explained his plan.

"No way! I am not hurting Jimin again."

"This is your only way, Major. Accept it before it's too late." Mr. Bang stood and slid a bunch of keys toward Yoongi, "Take the car and start moving. We don't have much time left."

He blankly stared at the key with mild tremors in his hands.

That night, Yoongi felt the true demon tear him up and pick up the keys.

How horrible could he turn out?

Was this worth the end?

Will he be able to show Hoseok the colors he wished to show?

Or was he just drowning both of them in the boundless darkness?

"Hey, Jungkook! How are you, bro?" A random teenager came rushing towards Jungkook and threw his arm over his shoulders.

"I...am fine. So, um...where are the others?" Jungkook asked timidly scratching the nape of his neck.

Gosh, acting stupid is so difficult! Jungkook internally screamed.

"In the special lobby, of course! We were waiting just for you," the male smirked and pulled Jungkook closer, and tapped his shoulder.

The latter simply laughed dryly and walked towards the lobby with the male.

He wasn't comfortable with the hand that was holding his shoulders but went with it to not look like a loser.

He needs to go with it.

He needed to blend with them and socialize with them to escort Taehyung safely.

He put up the most convincing smile on his face and sat over the end of the couch occupied by other rich kids that loved to boast about their assets and trips.

But somewhere he felt left out.

He felt anxious about the whole atmosphere.

He knew well that he didn't belong here.

Though he was the richest among them by foul playing, his subconscious self knew too well that the wealth didn't belong to him.

Jungkook gasped as he remembered the old memory. He gripped the handle of the couch to hold himself from breaking down.

He has to be strong.

He cannot break down so easily.

He has a promise to keep.

A promise to fight and live amongst the hyenas.

"Jungkook!" One of the friends called out.

"Hmm?" Jungkook snapped his head towards the person and flashed a small smile to relay that he is still present in the conversation of the aristocrats.

"Would you like to have a glimpse of the powder, too?" The male asked with a cunning smile and walked towards Jungkook with a small translucent packet of white powder.

"I...prefer having drinks," Jungkook tried to refuse politely but the male was adamant and pulled out some amount of the white powder in his hand to bring it to close Jungkook's nose.

"I...do not wish to have it. Please, you guys have fun. I...will pay for it," Jungkook offered to scoot further away over the couch.

"Come on, Kook! Don't be a party pooper. It's just a one-time thing. Try it! It's amazing," the male exclaimed and shuffled closer to Jungkook.

I don't like touches. Jungkook shut his eyes tight and muttered the sentence repeatedly in his head.

"I...I just-" Jungkook struggled to put forth his words.

"Oh, come on! Don't be a scaredy cat, Jungkook. Why don't you try it yourself tonight? No force added," The first guy smiled wide and pushed a glass of whisky mixed with the white powder.

Jungkook's hands felt numb from the amount of pressure he put on gripping his pants. They were covered with sweat and trembling to top the situation well.

"Are you going to just stand there like a newlywed bride or make a move?" Another male asked and the group burst into fits of laughter.

"I...I-"

"Stop stuttering for fucks sake and speak up Jungkook," the former male spoke up advancing towards him.

Jungkook's insides were twisting creating a nauseating feeling. His vision felt blurry as he watched all of them watch him with pure...disgust.

They were taunting him.

They were degrading him.

They were condoning his mere presence.

He inhaled sharply and wiped the sweat off his forehead from the back of his sleeve.

How do I jump out of this circle?

That's a very interesting question, Kook.

Is it?

Yes, it is and the answer to that is very simple.

What is it?

Jump out when you see the Smoke Ring!

Jungkook shot his eyes open wide and pushed the male that tried to hold his elbow again, "I said don't touch me!" Jungkook mustered the courage to voice out through his lips.

"Looks like someone's got the balls back, huh?" One of his friends smirked and advanced toward Jungkook who barely managed to stand over his legs, "What gives you the right to push him that way?" He growled over Jungkook's face and pulled him by his collar.

Jungkook tried to get those filthy hands off him but they were too strong, "let...me go!"

Why do I feel so vulnerable?

Why can't I fight back today?

Why is the urge to just give up sound so convincing tonight?

I just came to meet my man.

Why am I stuck here in the middle of this hassle?

The said guy pushed Jungkook and he stumbled back before falling over his butt. He winced in pain as the pain seared through his cheek to the jaw.

"Hey, what the fuck are you doing? Did you forget who he is?" Another added.

"Who the fuck cares? He isn't worth a single punch. I am sure his father loathes him too."

"But still..."

"Yah! Are you going to complain to your daddy about this?" The male who punched Jungkook gripped his neck and mocked him childishly.

Jungkook felt all over the place. His emotions were mixing into a blender at lightning speed. His heart drummed hard against his ribcage due to fear wasn't helping in any way.

There was one thing that Jungkook knew for sure out of all this commotion.

He may be a weakling.

A loser with no mouth.

But he had the oath to keep.

He has to maintain the honor of his kingdom.

A lion was supposed to roar back and not mewl.

Jungkook stabilized himself over the floor, flexing his knees a little. He gripped the guy's neck and yanked him against his knee.

The male's head collided harshly against Jungkook's knee causing a loud cry to escape from the male's lips.

Jungkook screamed incoherent words through his busted lip and pushed the male over the floor. Jungkook gripped the male's hair and bashed it against the floor.

"I don't need a bloody father to kill you!" Jungkook screamed over the guys face and continued to punch him.

"I don't need a fucking parent to survive among you hyenas! I don't need them. Why? Because, they don't deserve calling themselves a parent!" Jungkook threw one hard punch over the boy's nose.

"I...think we should stop him," one of the friends suggested in fear.

"I ain't getting involved in this. My dad will kill me if another scandal of mine pops up."

"Then what do we do?"

"He brought it over himself. Let's just run!"

"O...okay!" With that the group dispersed in different directions, leaving the two alone.

"Why the fuck did you touch me! Just why!" Jungkook yelled loudly and kept throwing punches at the unconscious male.

Come on, Jungkook, you will like it too. His foster father spoke as he touched Jungkook's thigh.

D... don't touch me. Young Jungkook mumbled and scooted away.

The father slapped him hard and pushed him over the bed locking the young boy's wrist, "Fucking behave, bitch! Start loving this or I will kill you."

"Why! Just why!" Jungkook's cries were muffled by another man pulling him from the back.

"Who the fuck are you! Just leave me alone!" Jungkook shook his head violently and struggled to escape from the restraints of the man that held him.

"If you keep doing that, he might die," the stranger addressed close to Jungkook's ear in a subtle voice.

Jungkook breathed abruptly and tried to wriggle his hands out of the male's clutches a few more times before giving up.

"He...started it. He deserved it," Jungkook mumbled with his hands still in the stranger's clutches.

The stranger turned Jungkook to face him. Jungkook didn't dare to look at him and had his gaze still fixed on the bastard that was lying on the floor.

"Do you want me to kill him for you?" The stranger asked.

"Why would you-" Jungkook's breath got caught in his throat as he saw the face of the man who held it.

It was Jebb.

Jebb was standing before him.

And Jebb on the other hand, expected a nice warm hug from the little Jungkook in his arms.

But the boy straight up pulled him into a hungry kiss. Taehyung's hands were still in the air unable to process what was happening and Jungkook circled his arms around the latter's neck and kissed the older sloppily.

Taehyung rested his hands over the younger's waist and leaned back to detach their lips, "Woah! Slow down, lil champ."

Jungkook hung his head low with his fingers gripping the back of Taehyung's shirt.

What Taehyung didn't expect was for Jungkook to break down before him.

"Kook? Are you okay?" Taehyung whispered close to the younger's lips and those words were enough for Jungkook's dam to break open.

He waited two long years to fall into this man's arms.

It took two long years to hear those words.

It took two fucking long years to finally cry into his arms.

"I...am sorry for everything. I took too long to get you out. I...am, I am sorry-" Jungkook buried his face into Taehyung's chest as he cried louder with the time.

The latter simply stood there ruffling the male's hair because it had turned too soft in two years.

"Where is Jimin?" Taehyung asked.

"Huh?" Jungkook was caught off-guard.

"I thought he was coming. I didn't expect you here." Taehyung said with a straight face.

"W...what?" Jungkook eyes turned wide with hurt evident in his tone.

Taehyung quickly pecked the male's lips and leaned back, "You are still a baby, Kook. How adorable can you turn in two years?" He giggled.

"Did... you just pull my leg?" Jungkook asked wiping his red burning nose.

"Nah! I need to do that to Jimin. He is way too short." He laughed and pecked Jungkook's lips again.

"Yah! Give me a heads up at least!" Jungkook mumbled before flushing red.

"Did you warn me before sharing a hungry kiss a few minutes ago?" Taehyung pulled the male close to his chest and sucked on his lower lip before letting go.

"Stop teasing me!" Jungkook turned bright red with his hands over Taehyung's chest.

"Am I?" He united their lips again but this time it was a slow soft warm kiss that he was eager to share with Jungkook the moment he saw him.

A/N:- DID YOU MISS ME?

DO YOU REMEMBER I EXISTED?

OKAY ENOUGH WITH THE JOKES.

LET'S GO WITH ANSWERS!!

It's clear that Yeonjun is working for Mr Bang and is keeping an eye on Jungkook's movements for him.

Yoongi was working for Mr Bang all this time and pretended to work for Viper. He was collecting evidences for Mr Bang.

Will he really hurt Jimin to lure Viper into a trap?

And are Mr Bang's methods justifyable?

To avenge his son's death he is putting a lot of people into pitfire.

Is it worth all the sacrifices and troubles or is there more?

Will Jungkook comply with his words or create his path to escape this mess?

Who is up for some steamy Vminkook now that they finally met?

Oops, did I drop a spoiler? Who cares? Lol.

Hope you liked the chapter.

Meet you in the next chapter kids.

Love you.
