Jungkook

Taehyung was never a person in Jungkook's eyes. He was a convenience. A tool. A beautiful, obedient toy that could be used to alleviate boredom between deals, blood, and power.

Jungkook pulled him out of the deep end—debts, threats, hopelessness. He gave him shelter, money, and protection. In return, Taehyung learned to remain silent, not ask questions, and smile when everything inside him was breaking. He knew: as long as he was interesting, he was needed.

But the mafia does not tolerate attachments.

Everything changed that evening when someone else appeared in the house.

The new one was younger, sharper, not yet tainted by fear. He didn't flinch at Jungkook's voice and looked straight into his eyes—with the boldness that Taehyung himself once possessed, before it was burned away.

“I don’t need you anymore, Taehyung,” Jungkook said, knocking out the last hopes of staying close.
