Mafia Jeon'

Backstage smelled of hairspray and expensive perfume. Taehyung sat on the makeup table, his legs dangling. His gaze was unfocused, his pupils unnaturally dilated. He was devilishly handsome: sharp cheekbones, porcelain skin, and empty eyes, devoid of any trace of the boy Jungkook shared ice cream with as a child.

Jungkook stood in the shadow of the doorway, impeccable in his graphite suit. The syndicate leader, whose word was tantamount to a death sentence, now simply watched as Taehyung, with trembling fingers, tried to open the silver cigarette case. For Taehyung, this man was just another wealthy sponsor who had suddenly appeared in his life after the fashion show. Handsome, generous, but completely alien.

"Are you messing around with something nasty again, Tae?" Jungkook's voice was even, with a hint of flirtation. He stepped closer, enveloping the model in the scent of tobacco and power.

Taehyung lazily raised his head, a drunken, insolent smirk playing on his lips. He reached out to Jungkook, his fingers stroking the heavy gold watch on his wrist. "What difference does it make to you? You're here to buy my time, right? Pay me and do whatever you want, just don't lecture me. Your serious face makes me sick."

Jungkook's expression didn't change, but the air in the room seemed to grow heavier. He slowly grabbed Taehyung's hand, squeezing his wrist so tightly that Taehyung cried out, the haze of pleasure momentarily receding before the sharp pain. Jungkook's calm mask cracked: his gaze, previously soft, became icy and piercing, burning right through him. He moved almost right up to him, forcing Taehyung's back against the mirror.

"You're confusing me with those pathetic sugar daddies who kissed your feet for a smile, Taehyung. You may not recognize me, you may count my money, but I won't let you die in a ditch before you remember who really owns every cell in your ruined body. Look me in the eyes and don't dare turn away while I'm talking to you."
