"Will you marry me Kim Taehyung?"

Taehyung smile slightly falters to Jungkook's sudden statement, his hands still around his neck as he looks between the hexagonal object and Jungkook's soft eyes.

What?

Out of no where?

Wait, ha this is probably a prank.

He tries to play off his need to melt on the spot with a playful giggle.

He has to be joking right?

Right....

"Well aren't you the romantic lover boy huh? I was expecting a diamond ring," Taehyung teases, trying to fight the warmth off his chest.

He's only joking.

This isn't real.

Jungkook only pulls Taehyung's left hand from around his neck and takes his ring finger, "I will ask you once again, will you please marry me Kim Taehyung?"

The sincere way he says this only makes Taehyung's heart tug aggressively and unwanted tears began to whelm his eyes.

Play it off, it isn't real.

He's not being serious...

"No."

Jungkook's lips falls to a deep scowl, making Taehyung bubble up in cute giggles after seeing his reaction, but regardless Jungkook squeezes the metal down Taehyung's slender finger, "Well, too late, you're going to be my future husband. Now your engaged with me, period."

Why is he still doing this?

Okay, ha very funny.

You can stop playing now.

Taehyung ended up bursting out laughing but tears were escaping past his eyelids by now, "Y-You're such a dick."

This isn't real.

He isn't being serious.

Right?!?

Jungkook suddenly frowns upon seeing Taehyung's tears and he cups his cheeks, "W-What- Are you crying?"

H-He's being serious isn't he?

Taehyung ended up letting out a broken sob and takes one of the hardware nuts from the bundle beside them as well and uses the wipe to clean it before taking Jungkook's left ring finger, "Well, if I don't have a choice, so don't you," Taehyung sniffs, squeezing the hardware nut down Jungkook finger, allowing a tear to tap down the metal before looking up, "You're bound to me now. Whether you like it or not, okay?"

And he means it.

Yes, him and Jungkook are dysfunctional.

They're all types of fuck up, toxic, you name it - They've never had a domestic since they've met, nor a decent moment since their identities been exposed.

But that's just it - They went through those types of fuck ups together.

They had tender moments, believe it they had, and that's likely what they're clinging onto to not separate.

Moment where they'd help each other study over hours of the night.

Moments where Jungkook would make Taehyung breakfast while dressed up in his nerdy outfit.

Moments where they'd go out to places together like the museum or the park, discovering new things about each other underneath their disguise. 

Moments that weren't just sexual and filled with hate, but moments where life did for a moment feel normal.

And through those silver linings is where they found love.

And unconditional love, that got tainted by rust because of their actions when the curtains began to close. 

Standing in front of each other now, finally having a damn moment alone, it felt like that again.

Just for a small, single moment, the world for once wasn't still and against them.

No more hiding.

Jungkook caresses Taehyung's cheek delicately, his eyes bleeding with his affection for him, "You do realize these vows sound insanely toxic, right?"

The older only smiles and presses their foreheads together, "Well we aren't exactly the regular ideal pair of people. You run a gang, I'm trying to run away from a gang. You killed my dad, I kill your son and many other gang members. I fucked your best friend, you made a deal with my enemy. Now we are proposing to each other, that's sickening."

Jungkook doesn't say anything at first, only moves to hold Taehyung in his arms, "We have hurt each other really bad haven't we?"

For a second Taehyung stays still but slowly melts into Jungkook's arms, resting his head on his chest, "Yeah, we have, and look how we are now. Ha, if this isn't some fucked up version of a Romeo and Juliet story then I don't know what is."

"More like the Joker and Harley Quinn. Me being the Joker of course."

Taehyung face twisted in utter confusion and looks up, "I'm the Joker! I am smart and do my bidding fairly well-"

"And have no filter to your sanity like Harley," Jungkook snorts and pulls away, "At the end of the day, I'm your daddy."

Taehyung's inside began to swirl intensely with giddiness as he suddenly pokes Jungkook's side with his hand and presses a kiss to his cheek, "Catch me if you can daddy."

And just like that Taehyung runs away, giggling madly as he feels like he's on cloud nine at this very moment. He glances at the supposed ring on his hand and explodes in euphoria.

He could dance in the streets and sing his heart out with full content.

After so fucking long.... He doesn't feel so heavy.

Just by this simple, stupid little ring.

It gave him this assurance that.... Maybe eventually, him and Jungkook won't be so fucked up anymore. They'll find their way to each other in a healthier way and work on themselves, together. Somehow. That this connection they feel isn't over, despite the layers of darkness that layers this forbidden relationship alone.

But Taehyung can't get ahead of himself.

No matter how deeply affectionate he feels for his mafia lord.

That idea settles an unpleasant feelings in his stomach as he runs out of the store and down the sidewalk, eventually turning the corner and presses himself against a bricked wall, biting down his lip with a muffled smile.

Letting it slowly settle down to him.

Jungkook just proposed to him.

He asked him to marry him....

How vast can Jungkook's love go? This man has not once has attacked Taehyung even after he went through his rampage for revenge and that.... Says a lot about himself.

Either he's really weak or insanely in love.

Perhaps both.

"Taehyung!" He bears the younger's voice in a distance and Taehyung holds back a squeal as he was ready to run away, but then he hears a muffled noises follow up moments later.

And..... Muffled voices?

Jungkook should've reached him by now, he's really fast-

"TAEHYUNG!"

The older bolted from the wall the moment he heard the frantic calling and rounds the corner to see around six men dressed in black outfits with white masks drag a struggling Jungkook into a black van.

What's going on- 

No....

No!

"JUNGKOOK!" Taehyung screams as he runs towards them with full speed, his heart racing in anxiety as the doors to the van closes and one of the men stands to stare at Taehyung, suddenly taking out a gun.

Taehyung ducks as the man took his shot and that gave him enough time to pile inside the van and instantly the vehicle took off.

It's too late, Taehyung was too far away....

Too late to save him...

They kidnapped him.

They took him.

They took Jungkook.

Right before Taehyung's eyes.

They just - 

Oh God - 

Jungkook.

Taehyung's whole body shut down as he knees buckled and collapsed to the ground, staring at the van with shocked eyes. He couldn't feel the air brushing his face or the blood pulsing at a rapid speed in his body.

Jungkook..... They took Jungkook.

Jungkook.

His lover.

His enemy.

His target.

His friend.

His Jungkook.

Right in front of him...

And Taehyung couldn't get to him...

He couldn't - He couldn't save him.

He couldn't.....

Jungkook is missing -

And that sudden shock twisted into a thriving rage of fury. Taehyung's hands bundled up to a fist and he glares at the driver's plate attached to the van moving farther away.

They took his Jungkook.

His Jungkook.

Taehyung suddenly raised to his feet, his skin glowing a livid red with gritted teeth, his mind not thinking a rational thought at this very moment.

All he knows is one thing, one specific thing for sure.

He's going to kill everyone who was involved in this, and make sure they remember why his name was Karma.

If everyone thought he was long gone before, that was nothing compared to the demon that awoken up in the deepest cell of his body.

He transformed into Karma himself.

And he's coming for blood.

A/N:

Important note I want to give to you guys so please read.

I wrote this in my post earlier today, but I will repeat it here because it has to do with this story.

So this story was already published in the past, but got taken down due to mass reporting threats. That's why I'm updating the chapters one by one with intense editing, but the plot and everything is still the same, just added more perspective and details.

Now I mentioned a few chapters back that the following chapters will be very intense and graphic, but I have changed it.

I have read the past comments that the story did have on those chapters coming up, and various expressed how insensitive and triggering it was for me to write it, and how it shouldn't be included. 

I'm going to say this once again, I have no stressed this enough, that while reading this story, you should be responsible for taking care of your mental and emotional health. If you feel yourself growing unwell by the context of this story, stop reading immediately. 

I'm being incredibly serious because I know this story is a lot to digest, and it only gets worse from this point on. Seriously, there's nothing bad with putting yourself first and leaving this book. Don't read if you know you can't handle it.

The warning does state what this story will have involved, and I have said before that I'm not a sugarcoat type of writer, if you absolutely can't handle the writing, please take care of yourself and leave the book. I want you guys to be okay and not be scarred because of a book.

I also don't write about these topics because I find some entertainment while writing it, it's because I believe it involves many serious and real issues that it's not often talked about in life or in general. It's to set awareness. I'm not going to create a mafia story on how the two characters ride off into the sunset despite their circumstances, no I'm going to be realistic. And I advise you to stop reading now if you were looking more towards a happy ending or a utopia mafia story.

However, I do know and am aware that I have a young audience reading this book, regardless of the warning and the mature feature to the story, and I know some will disregard it and continue reading, despite the caution to be careful, so this is what I'm going to do.

The following chapters till the end of this story will be censored, completely. 

If you have read this book before, then you can already pinpoint which scenes will be censored. And what I mean by censor, it's that it will vaguely mention what happens, but not to graphic details.

The original and graphic version of this book will be on AO3, Archives of Our Own, with my username being the same as this one.

I'm not going to risk writing it here, and that will go for most of my stories.

With that being said, I also stated that with my mafia books I have thus far are all I'm writing in relations to the topic of mafia and gangs. I will not continue to write anymore mafia stories after Overdose. My mafia stories are way too graphic and detailed, so for the mental and emotional sake of the lovelies reading, I will stop writing them once I complete the ones I have left to finish.

And the uncensored version will be on AO3.

I PURPLE YOU!!! <3
