'Nothing Like Us' taekook

The moment the plane touched the ground, the cargo door opened and Yoongi got out, stretching his limps after hours of being confined inside the private jet. It had been a long time since he had travelled overseas and had forgotten the feeling of stiffness from spending hours in the fuselage.

He zipped up his black, leather, Valentino jacket and huffed, hiding his hands in his pockets. It was rather chilly, the wind was vigorously blowing and he had the false impression the weather here was sunny and hot throughout the year. Climbing down the airstair, there was a silver-grey jeep waiting for him, arranged by Jin. 

The driver hurriedly got out and pulled aside, giving his place to Yoongi." Mr.Kim asked me to give you this." He handed him a file, Yoongi thanked him and got inside the jeep, driving out of the airport's main entrance.Only Jin knew where he was going. The rest were served with the excuse of him doing a favour for Jin's company to investigate someone in Busan and would be absent for a couple of days.

 And they fell for it. Probably because they were too busy getting ready for a dinner party at MinJoon's house and needless to say SeenHe was over the moon to escort Kook. Actually he invited himself! Yoongi went directly to the hotel, checked in and after a hot bath he was ready to move to phase two of his brilliant plan.

He unexpectedly laughed thinking how tables turn. That was usually Jimin's line! He always had brilliant ideas and plans that ended in total disaster, pissing everyone off. He opened the file, quickly went through it and then grabbed the phone and dialed a number.

It rang five times before it was picked up." It's Yoongi. Meet me at the corner of Eastern Avenue and Sunset Road. The alley behind Caesar's. In an hour and come alone." He hung up, leaving no room for arguments,taking deep breaths and stretching his arms to relax his stiff muscles. 

While he was dressing up,he wondered how the hell he'd outface him without wanting to break his bones. The idea of beating the shit out of that bastard was appealing however he doubted punching would bring the results he wanted. Well, maybe a few punches would convince him faster! Or so he justified it to himself.

Forty five minutes later,he was standing at the dingy alley, his back leaning against the cold wall, hands crammed in the pockets of his black, leather biker's jacket, waiting in anticipation. The rumpus fuss of the dazzling city in the not so far distance, was nerve twitching. The scent of mold and rotten wood evoked a feeling of discomfort.He glanced at his wristwatch. He was ten minutes late. If he bailed on him, he'd simply barge into his office and give him a taste of hell!

The faded sound of lumbering footsteps approaching confirmed he was finally here. "You're late."

Taehyung,all dressed in black kind of looking like a mobster, was strutting towards Yoongi, every step giving him a clear image of his presence,the faint light from the lamp pole illuminating on his perfect face, making him look more intimidating.

" Yoongi..I wasn't expecting your call."

" I'm full of surprises Kim."

" What can I do for you?" In spite of the detachment and indifference in his voice, his heart was hammering in his chest and body covered in blocks of cold sweat. 

When he received his call earlier, he was tempted to ignore him. Turn his back on everything and everyone that reminded him of Jungkook and his life in Seoul. The life he had left behind. The happiness he could have and gave it up.He was used to having his sadness as a constant companion and learning news about Jungkook,how he has moved on, found someone else to love, someone else to hug and kiss was nerve-wracking.

Yoongi didn't answer, his blustering,fiery eyes pinned on the man, staring and observing,steeped in thoughts of how to handle him.Without warning, led by pure and undeniable wrath, the man quickly pulled up his sleeves and marched to Taehyung, launching the first heavy punch on his jaw, which panged and forced his head and body to lurch back.

An endless set of relentless punches swarmed Taehyung's jaw, cheeks and nose, hissing and battling to breath through the pain of the assault. His lips and nose were cracked, oozing thick blood as he spit some on the ground, trying to maintain his balance. He didn't retrieve, fight back or attempt to dodge him. He took the raw beating, knowing he deserved it. That and much more.

Yoongi was on fire. He needed to get it out of his chest in order to move to the next step of his plan. He snatched his jacket collar, bringing him closer and staring deep into his eyes, his punches smashed Taehyung 's stomach, yelling and keeping direct eye contact on purpose "MOTHERFUCKER! SON OF A BITCH! YOU HAD IT COMING! ASSHOLE!YOU DOY LOOM SO TOUGH NOW!"

Yoongi smashed an elbow into the side of Taehyung's ribs and the man made a low growl, straining to stand up to the pain. He expected it, anticipated it and in the moment after landing he let his body relax,before Yoongi repeated it many times.

Taehyung didn't close his eyes to the excruciating pain, didn't even blink, just kept his gaze focused on Yoongi, hoping his total surrender would offer him satisfaction and compensate for the pain he had brought on his family and Jungkook. Yoongi,after what seemed an eternity, released his grip,plunged him back so violently that his body hit the drenched curb.

His breaths honed and heartbeat livid as he clopened his fist, rubbing his knuckles. The sight of the notorious Kim Taehyung or V laying on the ground , bruised and battered,blood staining his expensive designer suit was a bit amusing.

Taehyung was in pain. Not from the beating. He had it coming but mostly because a righteous person like Yoongi had to punch the likes of him. He wiped the blood from his mouth, sniffed and booped his nose to see if it was broken and spit the blood,flooding his mouth and getting rid of its awful taste. 

He knew that Yoongi's presence in Vegas and their fight had only one interpretation. He had come to warn him to stay the fuck out of Jungkook 's life. And who could blame him? He had turned his life into a living hell. It was natural that he was sent to keep him away.

Being so bemused he didn't see Yoongi offering his hand to help him stand up.

Taehyung gripped the man's hand and was pulled up, striving to keep his feet steady on the ground.

" Why didn't you fight back? I bet in your criminal career you've dealt with stronger men than me and never refused the provocation." Yoongi asked and the reply he got only confirmed his suspicions.

" You're Jungkook's.. favourite hyung.. I'd never lay a hand on you.." He licked the blood from his lips and gulped a groan,feeling nauseous by the taste.

" Is that so? I'm surprised."

" I can't blame you. There's no point beating around the bush. You know who I am. Where I'm involved in."

Yoongi's leer blazed on his beautiful and now serene face." Very well..your fame precedes you. The notorious V. A famous criminal in the States. A respectable businessman in Korea. I got to hand it to you! You're a man of multiple personalities."

Taehyung knew it wasn't a compliment. More of an accusation." Yoongi rest assured I won't bother Jungkook again. I'm out of his life for good."

"Are you a fucken idiot? Is this what you think this is all about? You staying away from Kook? Never seeing him again? And I thought you were smart! It's exactly the opposite, dumbass!"

Taehyung's eyebrows knitted in confusion." I don't get it..They send you to make sure I don't bother Jungkook anymore. I've been away for more than a year and don't intend to come back into his life." The words were more painful than his injuries and the awareness Jungkook's face will forever remain a distant memory was a constant stinging in his heart.

Yoongi took out a silk,white handkerchief from his pocket and offered it to him. The man nodded and timidly grabbed it, wiping the blood from his face, playing with the slick fabric in his fingers.

" Nobody sent me. Nobody knows I'm here. Well, except Jin hyung. The reason I came is to ask you one question and get a straight answer." Yoongi paused for a second, keeping direct eye contact." Do you love Jungkook?"

It wasn't the question he was expecting, especially from him. Deep down he knew the whole family hated his guts and he was unprepared to give a straightforward answer.

" Does it matter?"

" It matters to me. To Jin who actually believes in you for some strange reason and to Jungkook. So..are you in love with him?" 

Taehyung stirred in his place, raising his head and sighing deeply." I'm bad for him, Yoongi. You and me live in the real world. You know who I am. What I've done and keep doing. I'm a fucken criminal. My life is full of enemies,blood and killing. I have to watch over my back every step I take. How can I fall in love? How can I give him a future and the happiness he deserves? No..no..he deserves better than me. After the pain I gave him the least I can do is offer him a carefree life. A normal life. I won't be selfish..not when it comes to him."

" Oh you're full of bullshit V! Hiding your weaknesses and fear behind silky excuses. Yes, you're a criminal. Yes, you're a fucken asshole. Yes, Kook deserves better than the likes of you. But he chose to love you! God knows why! His heart beats for you. And if you don't step up and do something, you're gonna lose him and regret it for the test of your pathetic life!" 

The man touched his aching chest with his fist. His blood ran cold in his veins. " Is there another..man in his life?" He dreaded the answer and felt his temples pricking his head.

Yoongi had no intention of sugarcoating the situation because knowing what he was up against could awaken his desire to claim Kook and put aside his stupid pride." He's been dating a fellow officer, a colleague for six months. Does that satisfy your curiosity?" 

Taehyung's world came crumbling down. No beating, no bullet, no stabbing could give him such excruciating pain, bleeding his broken soul. His heart thumping in his panting chest, ready to split open and explode.

" I see.. I'm glad.." sadness coated his voice that didn't go unnoticed by Yoongi. V had to be brave. Jungkook's happiness was his first and only priority and the reason he left. To give him the opportunity to make a clean start, meet the right man who would bring a smile to his beautiful face. Value all he has to give.Make his dreams come true. His heart beat again. Restore his lost faith in people and love. He owed him that and much more. 

Yoongi had a hissy fit. His fingers annoyingly mussed his hair, throwing Taehyung a vexed look. He was seriously ruffling his feathers! Hell, this wasn't the time to act altruistically in order to prove how bad he was for Kook. He needed the badass V! The selfish one who would go to every length to get his man! 

" Are you for real? Are you fucken stupid?" 

" If that man makes him happy.." the trembling of his voice continued and broke, shifting to the opposite direction to hide his teary eyes. His worst nightmare was coming to life. The V of the past wouldn't hesitate for a moment to go back, claim what was his and send everyone to hell! The new, improved version of him, would go the extra mile to ensure Kookie's safety and happiness and save him from the stinking gutter he called life and the dangers it involved.

" Happy? Is this how you think he feels? Well let me tell you V.. Jungkook cries every night in his room for you! Pretending he's fine when in reality he's hurting for you. To be fair, it isn't only your fault. We, in our own way, are responsible for his misery. Our advice and need to see him happy and over you. We put ideas into his head, pressured him and he's paying the price for our bad choices. So you see, we're not that different." 

Taehyung bitterly chuckled, his tears could no longer stop." You did it out of love and care not out of vengeance. Give him time. Support his decision to move on. Continue to show him how bad I am for him…he'll find the strength to forget me and start a life with..with his boyfriend." 

Yoongi could tell by the broken sound of his jittery voice and the sniffles that he was..crying. That told a lot to him, more than the words coming out of his lips." Why are you so fucken stubborn? You're both hurting while you could be happy and together. Fuck the world! Fuck us! Fuck your enemies! Fuck your silly fears! The way things are going Kook will be stuck in a loveless relationship and you'll spend the rest of your life wondering what might have happened if you weren't so damn stupid!" He went into a huff dealing with V's indefensible hardheadedness!

Taehyung felt his strength deteriorating. He had to leave, to be alone. Mend his broken heart and heal his wounds. Jungkook with another man, no matter how hard he tried to deny and hide it, left him heartbroken and in despair. He didn't want to show his vulnerability and cry like a baby in front of Yoongi. He took a few steps to the left,to avoid the light from the lamp pole and turned around to leave.

" Go back Yoongi. Forget about me. Be there for Jungkook." 

" Why are you so damn stubborn? I don't get you! You'll lose him. He'll never be yours. He'd belong to some other guy and you'll be left with nothing." he lashed out, bowled over his own passionate response.

" BECAUSE I'M SCARED OK? HAPPY?I'M SCARED HE'LL HATE ME ONCE HE FINDS OUT WHO I REALLY AM!" He allowed his breath to come out without realising he was holding it in." When he finds out what I've done. The monster I truly am. I'm scared I'll lose him when he understands how deeply, madly, crazy in love I am with him. How far I'd go to keep him with me. I love him in a way it is hard to breathe without him. He's my life..my sanity..my Nemesis. I'd kill for him.. I'd betray everything for him..I'd burn the world down for him. But I'm no hero in this story, Yoongi but the villain." he confessed what was in his heart, bearing his soul to the eyes of a man that hated his entire existence.

The words he hadn't dared say outloud to any living person except his baby's photos, were now spoken to the person he least expected to reveal.His body was shaking to the core as he cringed. The pain exploded with a blinding intensity that made him fuzzy. It was like thick, sharp needles dipped in alcohol and had jammed through his flesh,tearing him apart. His agony had faded to a muffled throb.

The man felt it, sensed it and oddly felt sorry for him. He had fallen in love, probably for the first time,with the exact same person he used for revenge and didn't know how to cope with the love that drove him crazy and Yoong was obligated to correct a mistake and make two people happy. Well, getting rid of that wimp was an additional benefit.

Yoongi snatched his wrist,feeling his anguish and making him halt but didn't turn around. " I'll keep trying for both of you. When your brother calls you,make sure you talk to him and accept his invitation. You've got a month to think this through,Taehyung. Think hard before you decide." He then let him go, stuffing his hands in his pockets, watching him ambling away till he completely vanished.

Hoping he'd have a change of heart, he returned to his hotel, packed and left for the airport. His mission and presence in Vegas was over. He tried his best and now everything was up to Taehyung.

________

The bar was empty as a pauper's purse and pitch black. The only source of illumination came from the hidden lights behind the bar. He preferred it that way as he intended to tank up and be three sheets to the wind!( see double.)

Barging in, he had yelled at the remaining staff to get the hell out and they left running for their lives. Sitting at the front bar,hands launched on the counter,one gripping the third bottle of booze, the other wrapped around the glass, his chin touching the cold, shiny surface.

Not even the tones of alcohol he had consumed could erase Yoongi's words. He was fuming with rage at his Jungkook in the arms of a man. Hugging and touching him. Kissing and making love to him. Robbing him of the one thing that was his. 

His Kookie. 

His and only his! 

Bringing the glass to his lips,he crammed the bitter liquid down,hissed and thrashed it on the tempered glass across him, smashing it and the bottles on it." Fucken idiot..did you think he'd still love you?Wait..for you? It's ok.. it's fine..you can handle it..suck it up..damn fool!" he groaned through his teeth, grabbing the bottle this time, gorging the whiskey as the liquid was leaving a trail of wetness on his neck and chest.

A hand abruptly snatched it and in his attempt to get it back lost his balance and fell flat on the floor. In the dizziness and fuzziness of his head,his eyes couldn't stay focused on the tall figure above him as he was helped standing up and sitting his butt on the bar stool.

" Who the fuck..told you..I.. need help?" he said hiccupping and rubbing the back of his palm on his mouth." Fuck off.. leave me..shoot.."

" That's enough drinking for tonight. You're wasted, man and beaten. You look like shit!" His face was smudged with purple bruises,cuts and dried blood." Who the fuck did this to you?"

" Why the..fuck..do you care? Get out..I want to..be..alone..me and..my love here.." His hand stretched to get another bottle but Yosef grabbed them both and forced him to look in his direction.

" Would you quit?Fucken moron! What's wrong with you? Who beat you up? Can't you just open up for once? Talk to me man. I'm your friend and I love you." 

Yosef had no more patience left, watching his friend tormenting himself,drunk as a skunk, suffering in silence and as much as he had promised to stay out of it, tonight was the night to let things out in the open. He didn't give a fuck if Taehyung would send him to bloody hell or bark and scream,attack and beat the shit out of him, it ended tonight!

He left him leaned on the bar counter, hiccuping and sniffling and moved inside to make him a strong cup of bitter coffee. He then returned next to him, practically opening his mouth and forcing him to drink the damn coffee. 

Taehyung made a disgusted face, nose scrunched and ready to puke the moment the bitter taste came in contact with his tongue and got down his dry throat but Yosef was persistent and would take no for an answer.

" Stop being a baby and drink it! All of it! I need you sober.. you've got a lot of explaining to do fruit head!" The man gave him enough time to get his shit together so they'd talk.

Taehyung scoffed,sticking his tongue out a couple of times, shivering. He hated the awful taste of coffee as much as Yosef for making him drink it." Don't you have.. anywhere else to go? Someone to piss?"

" I love pissing you. It's fun." he responded shamelessly.

" Buzz off Yosef. I'm not in the mood..leave me the fuck alone." Even the sound of his own voice was pesky.He cupped his skull,his fingers rubbing his temples but the jabbing sensation like jolts of electricity stabbing his head wouldn't go away. He kept blinking his eyes as the room was bouncing and spinning around him.

" To go back to drinking? Drowning your sorrow to bottles of booze?Sorry not this time boss."

Taehyung shrilled through gnashed teeth which made his headache worse. He wasn't in the mood to talk. He wanted to be left alone and continue to drink till he passed out." What the fuck do you want Yosef? It's none of your goddamn business anyway. You're not my mother. If I want to drink, I'll drink."

" I bet your mother would feel proud seeing you wasted and passed out."

"Leave her out of this."he asked, bamging his hand on the bar,his body panged as well.

" Your words not mine, boss." he reminded him,taking out a packet of cigarettes from his back pocket offering him one but V declined. His stomach was growling with a sense of disgust." Start talking. It will make you feel better. I won't judge, I promise." 

" There's nothing to tell." he stubbornly refused and as he attempted to get up he landed back on his stool.

" Look Taehyung. We've come a long way, you and me. You saved me. Gave me a job, a home,a family. Friends and a meaning to my screwed up life. Ever since you came back from your trip, you're different. We've all noticed and to be frank we're concerned about you. Not as employees but as friends..brothers. Talk to me. Tell me what's on your mind. Get it off your chest. I might be able to help you the same way you helped me."

Blame it on the booze,his broken heart,his drowning sorrow, his loneliness and his need to get them off his chest, Taehyung was ready to open up for the first time. What harm would it cause if someone knew what he had hidden in his heart? What he had done? They couldn't hate him more than he already hated himself.

" I fucked up Yosef." he admitted bitterly." I seriously fucked up..I worked so hard to forget I'm human,to detache myself from any form of emotion, to build a wall between me and the people I cared about just to justify my notorious name and avoid getting hurt..and it was all for nothing..my world..it came crumbling down to shadder me.. I'm a broken man, Yosef. I deliberately hurt the people I love, destroy their lives, crash their world and get pleasure from it. I'm bad.. I'm a freak of nature..you call me the vampire king and it's not far from the truth..I don't deserve to live.."

Yosef reassuringly patted his back. It was heartbreaking to see him questioning his life and that hurtful,puppy look in his eyes was breaking his heart. He never thought V could have doubts and feelings like the rest of them. Show signs of vulnerability."Life is a constant struggle, Taehyung. Everyday we make choices that affect us. Make mistakes and learn from them or not and repeat them.Deal with our demons. Sometimes we win, other times we lose and pay the price."

Taehyung chuckled thinking about his own fair punishment. Falling in love and losing his precious bunny boy." I..I..fell in love Yosef..I thought I didn't have a heart until the moment I felt it beating in my chest. I'm in love..and I'm lost."

The confession didn't come as a surprise to Yosef as he had already suspected it. His odd behaviour was screaming something had changed in him. He had found his match. A gorgeous young woman that swept him off his feet and V was probably petrified he'd lose her when she'd find out his real identity. What he wasn't expecting was what followed this unexpected confession.

" I kind of figured that out." he replied calmly."So who's the lucky broad? When do I get to meet her?" He frowned." Is she married, her husband found out you're banging his wife and thought of teaching you a lesson?" 

Taehyung was in a fit of pique." Not by a long shot.. It's not..what happened.."

"Care to explain? Who is this mysterious woman?" 

Taehyung searched inside his pocket,found his phone, took it out and showed him a picture of a stunning young man with the most dazzling smile and adorable dimples.Yosef frowned, wrinkled his mouth to the left and scratched his head." Wrong picture.. That's a dude.."

" I know.. that's my baby..my beautiful little brat. The love of my life." Taehyung smiled brightly! He fucken smiled and it sparkled his usual dour face making Yosef lose it for a moment.

Yosef blinked his eyes multiple times,mouth wide open,not knowing if his astonishment was from the smile or the confession of V being in love with a man! V,the vampire king, was crazy infatuated with a man! A man! He had lost count how many times he repeated it in his head." Are you..gay? Bi?I thought you were as straight as it got!" 

" That makes two of us." he joked,twirling his head around because his neck felt stiff.

" I don't fucken believe this! This is definitely surreal! V with a dude! An actual dude!"he asserted, perched on the edge of his stool.

Taehyung threw him a sideway glance, offended by his reaction." What's so hard to believe? I've done crazier things! And you promised you wouldn't judge." he pointed out strictly in a hoarse tone.

" Right.. you're right.. sorry I was caught off guard. With your past it was the least I expected to hear. You're in love. That's a good thing so why are you drinking? Doesn't he feel the same way? He rejected you?"

The man's eyes drooped in sadness and he sighed heavily." I rejected him, Yosef."

" Why the fuck did you do that? Because of your reputation? If he loves you, he'll understand. What's his name anyway? I can't keep calling him dude!" 

" Kim Jungkook."

" Jungkook..It has a nice ring to it.. Jungkook."

Taehyung's fear of his actions justifying the bad name he had, stopped him from giving a straightforward answer. Yosef knew he was a cruel, sick bastard, he just didn't know how far he'd go to get what he wanted. The means he'd use to take revenge." It's not his fault. He loves me or at least he did.. I'm not so sure now.. he's dating another guy." 

Yosef stirred in his place, feeling there was a story behind the rejection. He sucked in deep breaths and popped the big question." What did you do Taehyung? I can't help unless I know the whole story! Come on, spit it out!" 

Taehyung was showing clear aversion in telling him. An inner mental struggle and profound hesitation in revealing and admitting how pathetic he had been, knowing for a fact Yosef would reamed him out! Eventually,he told him everything. About his other life in Korea,his brother ,his first meeting with Jungkook,his idiotic plan to get him out of his brother's life to ensure his happiness, the whole story, leaving out the spicy details, not neglected to mention his regular visits to the doctor and of course Yoongi beating him up.

Yosef's first instinctive reaction was to punch his face and beat the living hell out of him, giving him a piece of his mind. Not only did V had a brother they knew nothing about and kept it a secret,he had consciously hurt an innocent person. One of those he had always protected and cared for in his own disturbing way.

Oh he so desperately wanted to beat him to the punch.However, he decided it would be too damn easy for V to bob and weave and fight back. Yosef loved his handsome face and hated cuts and bruises,so he handled it the only way he knew how. He suppressed his rage and put on an arrogant grin, clapping his hands.

" Good! Nicely done! You're unique in fucking up! Great plan man! I bow to your brilliant mind! That Yoongi guy should have sent you to hospital! I would! "Yosef omitted Taehyung 's droopy,hurt eyes and spoke out." Not to mention you have a brother we didn't know about. We were kept in the dark. I guess you don't trust us enough."

" I kept my brother hidden to protect him from my life." He paused to choose his words carefully." I've got enemies everywhere waiting for a chance to get back at me and if they ever found out about him or my friends they'd be in danger. I did what I had to, to ensure their safety." 

" Why didn't you tell us? Me? I'd never betray you. I'd take it to my grave."

" I'm sorry..doc says I have severe trust issues and it's hard for me to open up."

"That's where you disappeared to every morning." the man noted."He's right. You're a fucken asshole. I get it but I don't like it."

" It's a part of my past I avoid thinking about and it's best to remain a secret. Hyunjin has his own life, his husband and we don't see eachother much." He sounded bitter but aware." But I love him..he was the only person I would kill to keep him safe."

" Was?Yosef arched an eyebrow,cocking his head to the side." There's Jungkook now,right?" Taehyung gave him a timid nod." You'd do anything for him." V nodded again."Well, what I don't understand is why didn't you kill him from the start? Why choose to seduce him when it would be easier to slit his throat, burn him and make him disappear for good. It's what we do best. We show no mercy to the enemy."

The man opened his mouth to speak then closed it. Nothing seemed fit because he had no answer. In reality he hadn't given it much thought. Instinctively his first reaction was to actually use what he believed Jungkook wanted, his own weapons against him. Yosef was right. It would be easier and more effective to get him out of the way..And thank God he didn't choose that or else his baby would be dead by his hands.

" And another thing. Why the fuck didn't you investigate his past? That's the first thing we do. We gather infos and then kill. It's rule number one V. Your rule."

Taehyung was left staring like an idiot, munching on his bottom lip, hand rubbing his forehead. What came to mind was disturbing and hard to digest. Somehow he sensed it was true but didn't dare day it outloud.

Suddenly, Yosef's mouth carved into a huge O and smiled, banging his hand on the bar." Oh fuck me! You were jealous! You liked him and got jealous! That's why you didn't kill him! That's why the rules went to hell!" 

" I..I.. It's not.. it's complicated." was the best he could give as an answer,feeling trapped. For a man like V,with his horrible past and bloody present, ruthless and manipulative,admitting he got jealous and attracted by another man seemed incomprehensible to say the least. It contradicted his entire theory about love and affection.

" Oh come on. Just fucken admit it! Why else would you spare his life? You got nothing to gain except..him. You wanted him!" Yosef was too heart headed to let this go.

" YES..YES..I GOT JEALOUS! TOO DAMN JEALOUS AND I WANTED HIM TO MYSELF!" He piped up as his well hidden desires formed into words." I walked into that restaurant,saw him holding hands with MinJoon, laughing and glowing and I remember thinking that he was the most gorgeous, divine creature I had gazed at and wondered why him and not me? Why that fucken bastard and not me? And at the party, I couldn't believe my luck..he was there dressed as a hooker and the idea of having him was more attractive than ever. I would get the chance to have him and help my brother as well. Two birds with one stone! I wasn't counting on falling in love. I couldn't admit it and I made his life hell."

Yosef shook his head, patted his back and spoke softly." Welcome to the human world you vampire freak! Where the rest of us love, hurt and bleed."

Taehyung chuckled bitterly. " It doesn't change the fact I screwed up. I hurt him badly, Yosef. Deliberately. I toyed with his feelings, fooled him,used him and then I..I did horrible things to him..things I'm ashamed of. But I can't undo the past and it's payback time."

The man was seriously considering beating the shit out of him. They were criminals, killers but even they had unspoken rules and one of them was to never hurt the innocent. Punching him would offer Yosef satisfaction but Taehyung wouldn't learn his lesson. He needed a different approach. A much more settled one and less bloody.

" Then pay. I don't know what's happening in your fucked up brain or if you have one but you should pay. What you've done is cruel and unforgivable. You wanted revenge to cover your true desires. You were too damn foolish to understand your feelings and an innocent person paid the price. I've always considered you fair and righteous in your own twisted way, helping people in need, sparing their lives, looking after your employees and I got to tell you I'm deeply disappointed in you. And it's only fair for Jungkook to want to forget about the sick asshole that hurt him and move on. Find someone who will value and treasure him. Someone worthy of his love. What did you expect him to do after the things you've done to him?You don't deserve him V. Stay here drowning your sorrow in bottles of whiskey and think about what you've done. It was low even for bastards like us!There's nothing more you can do. You see my friend,we all pay the heavy price for our arrogance."

Yosef's words felt like sharp, poisonous blades stabbing his soul, spreading their poison in every vein in his wretched body. He had managed to disappoint everyone and guilt was devouring his insides. For once in his corrupt life had the chance to find happiness and his pride had proven the biggest obstacle. He was utterly defeated." I don't plan on fucking up his life again. He has found a person to rely on and I love him too much to destroy him. Besides, it wouldn't work between us. We come from different worlds. He's an angel and I'm the devil. He's the son of a cop Yosef and I'm a criminal. His dad is the Chief of Police and probably the next Minister of Justice. What future could we have?"

" You gotta be kidding me! You fell for the son of a cop? You? You? V? Talk about irony man!" He sighed deeply and then burst out laughing, holding his stomach.

" It's not funny." Taehyung protested, finding him insensitive to his ordeal.

Yosef stopped,noticing the hurtful look in his eyes,still holding his stomach." Sorry but it's fucken crazy! You and the son of a cop. Too much information to suck in."

" Don't worry I won't jeopardize our business. Me and Jungkook are over. Done."

" You fucken scycho! You still don't get it, do you? Screw business! I need you to understand what you've done to a man that was nothing but good to you! Learn from your fucken mistakes and have the balls to admit them and make things right! Sitting here doing nothing but play victim is one very good reason to kick your butt! Do you love him? Want to be with him? Then beg, implore, get on your fucken knees and beg for forgiveness. Change your life. Make it better. But do something. Yeah, you might get rejected. Yeah, it might blow on your face but at least fight for it. Even if he refuses to give you a chance, you'll know you've done your best, instead of crying like a pussy. It's not you. Who you are. You're a fighter not a quitter! " He blew huffs.

"Now go to your room and stay there! And if I catch you drinking again, I'll fucken kill you myself!" His hand pointed at the exit and no wasn't the answer he wanted. He was too fucken pissed!" And you better go back to Seoul and clean up your mess or by God I'll drag you there myself!" 

Taehyung got up, staggering as his head was slightly spinning from the booze and headed towards the door but before walking out, he turned around to ask him not to reveal his secret to anyone and Yosef surprised him."No worries! I won't tell what a pussy you are! Go to your room now!" 

When he finally left, stumbling Yosef poured himself a drink, shaking his head." Boys! So fucken hard raising them!"
