The rain lashed against the window panes of Taehyung's towering penthouse like a thousand angry fists. In that moment, he sat alone, a king amidst his empire of shadows, nursing the bitterness that clung to his heart like a specter he couldn’t shake off. His dark gaze flickered with an intensity that could pierce through steel, the weight of his power defined by the ruthless decisions he'd made through the years. He despised the world outside, the way it thrummed with chaos, and most of all, he loathed anyone who dared to challenge him, who sought to disrupt the fragile order he had painstakingly built

An accident that Taehyung replayed in his mind like a haunting melody he couldn’t forget. The echoes of that day still rang, every stubborn curse against fate igniting a deeper, darker rage within him

But that decision was buried deep, cross-referenced in his mind with reasons he feared facing

Taehyung: he was in living room talking somthing important things to his bestfriend Jungkook this all things Sushmita shouldn't know

Jungkook: okay Taehyung I will try to make sure she didn't know this
