Taehyung stares up at the ceiling from the bed, the faint classical music spiraling in the back ground as he studies the equisite art before his eyes. If there's anything Taehyung loves about this place it's how artistic everything is.

From the furniture, the paintings, the enormous room design.

Everything about this place is beautiful.

A beautiful vintage art.

A small knock suddenly hits the wooden door. If it wasn't for the familiar rhythm of the Morse of of the knock, Taehyung would've told anyone to go away. He was too entranced by the art of angels on the ceiling to talk to anyone, but seeing Jungkook is more important than that. So he knocks against the wooden table beside the bed, a familiar rhythm back and the door creaks open, Jungkook slowly stepping through. He's dressed up in a formal well suited tux, but the first two buttons of his black button up shirt is undone, still making him look classy and formal. His long hair is wet, parted right down the middle in it's ruffled waves.

Taehyung's whole attention diverted only on the man, finding him more interesting to look at than the view of the angels from the ceiling art.

"It's almost time to go," Jungkook says curtly, approaching the other with a hand in his pocket, "Are you ready?"

Taehyung doesn't say anything at first but then sits up, adjusting black blazer, "Not really."

Jungkook stares at the other man, noticing a slight isolated aura oozing from him before he decided to take a seat beside him, "Still startled from the sharks?"

Taehyung remained silent for a moment and sighs, shaking his head, "No."

The younger takes in the small pout on Taehyung's lips and scoots closer, "Talk to me Tae, what's the matter?"

For a moment he doesn't say anything, refusing to mention anything on his bothered thoughts, but then he finds himself fiddling with the bolt on his finger, remembering how they vowed to keep themselves in an honest environment, and so he lets out a deep breath, "It wasn't the sharks that scared me," He admits lowly, still not looking up from the ring, "It was not seeing you again that scared me. Jungkook, I was so ready...... I was so ready for those sharks to tear me up just so I wouldn't have to live without you..... Is that selfish? Thinking I have no life if you're not in it?"

Taehyung's insides began to shake violently at the memory, trying not to think of the alternative if he was still alive and Jungkook wasn't, but he takes deep breath to calm himself down instead. The leader still hasn't said anything and Taehyung looks up slowly, seeing a soft look behind the younger's eyes the moment they made eye contact.

They continue to stare at each other for a few yearning seconds before Jungkook slowly moves his hand and interlaces it with Taehyung's large hand., leaning slightly to his face, "Tae," He starts off but pauses, closing his eyes to gather his thoughts before meeting Taehyung's eyes, "You are my life.... I was willing to risk anything if it meant you would be waking up breathing the next day. You aren't selfish, Angel.... However, in this life we are in now, we have to expect anything.... Even death too."

Taehyung knows he's right. The life they carry is like walking on a thin string. At any moment the wind can grow stronger and knock them down.

At any moment, one of them could die, with just one wrong move.

Taehyung still stands his ground.

"If the day comes that you die, best believe I will be dead right beside you," Taehyung said without hesitation, a gleam of devotion flashing his eyes like stars from the night sky.

Jungkook is all he has, and if he's not there than he doesn't want anything to do with this world.

Jungkook's eyes glimmer slightly to his words and carefully slides Taehyung brunette hair behind his ear, "You need to hide that little devotion there, that's what Harry snatched up from you and tried to play against us."

"Well, I don't care what Harry does to me at this point," Taehyung says annoyedly, "Let the world know that I'm in love with you, even after everything we been through.... I still love you..... That's why Harry is a heartless prick, because he doesn't do love."

The younger stares at him briefly, a genuine smile on his face as he leans and place/ a sweet kiss on Taehyung's forehead, "I love you Taehyung..... You'll be right beside me, right? Through this meeting.."

Is that even a question?

"Of course," Taehyung murmurs, noticing a hesitant gleam in Jungkook's eyes, "You've been anxious about this meeting all through dinner, what's the matter?"

Earlier today when the time came to have dinner, Zayn didn't join us so it was just Oasis's alone at the table. Taehyung had noticed that Jungkook barely even touched his food, only held a perplexed look in his eyes.

Anyone can tell that he's more nervous about Harry than the meeting itself.

And Taehyung doesn't understand why.

Jungkook closes his eyes for a minute and his hand tightens around Taehyung, "I'm just.... I don't know how I'm going to do while facing Harry."

Taehyung noticed the sudden change in his voice, how it went from calm to complete hesitancy, and he narrows his eyes, "Jungkook..... Did something happen between you and Harry that I don't know about?"

The younger bites his bottom lip and blinks back his glossy eyes, "Harry was there the night I was kidnapped....... Only briefly."

That shut down any other of Taehyung's emotions as he sits up with intense eyes, listening to what the other is saying.

Or what he was about to say.

His blood stream was ready to pump in adrenaline to find Harry and create a kabob out of his body parts.

Taehyung hums and narrows his eyes, "Did he hurt you?"

For a moment Jungkook didn't say anything but then he slowly nods, "He.... Uh....... He called me pretty a lot..... S-said other things too of what he would do to me if... I was his...... He touched my skin a lot, almost like if he was studying me... And um..... I-I'm sorry, I can't continue."

And that was enough information for Taehyung. He didn't blow up at all as they both expected, even though that exactly what Taehyung is doing on the inside. Instead he slowly nods to Jungkook's words and rubs his knuckles comforting, "We will go through this together, okay? I'm right here for you."

And then he will slaughter Harry with every malice vein in his body.

Jungkook slowly looks at him and weakly smiles before rising to his feet, "We should probably go, we have a date to get to."

Taehyung scoffs and stands up as well, "You are the king of the Mafia world, you should arrive whenever you wish to."

He didn't fail to notice the cute blush that formed Jungkook's lips as the younger nervous licks his lips, "Lets not get ahead of ourselves Taehyung. Come, let's go," he says and walks out the door.

Not before interlocking his hand with Taehyung's as they walk down to the meeting of their life.
