SECRETS & LIES | VKOOK ✓ [EDITING]

twenty-seven.

wandering thru the dark deep hall, thoughts of the past were filling up taehyung's mind.

previously, when he was again in this building, again playing the so similar game, it was not one of the best memories he experienced.
it was in particular one of his first tries in there, with the reason that a few months ago he was living in daegu instead in the capital.

at the same time, in seoul the life just seemed to feel different. not only the past he was so desperately running from, but the days and nights in there were in contrast than the city he's been living for the last three years.

daegu was a beautiful city. in fact, his parents were born there and met with each other at the same time. but the male was a so-called seoul boy. as he was connected with the experienced he's been thru, including the bad and good memories.

but why it just felt right to be back in seoul?

s' not just for the money, the casino nights that are quite similar with the ones in daegu, or the bars filled with strippers. even the mafia game for the wealth. it all could be found in any city.

it was the people that were living in there till' nowdays. he's been somehow missing the people he felt the good memories in the city.

taehyung was well informed what was going to happen if he returns, if he gets spotted by the others, if he faces the ones he hurt. so, he found a solution as distracting himself from those things.

the boy decided to stop with the runaway, because he would never escape from his problems. or from the certain people that now have mixed feelings towards him, as who to blame him.

the 'game' was one of the ways of distractions. the casino, the bar he owns thankfully to his father, who rest in peace.

it was just getting too much for him. say 'fvck it' but it's just not that easy. taehyung made too many mistakes, that he whishes he never ever made. considering in the situation he was put in three years ago, soon to become four, there was just no choice what to do.

taehyung chuckled as his own thoughts and opened up an empty room, to stay in there for himself.

no, he wouldn't hide in there and just give up on the whole thing.

he just needed to lean at the wall, take off his mask and start overthinking. as he did it. it was something he's been doing for the past few days, overthinking.

but did you know that overthinking sometimes makes the time to stop for you, and not even realise what's happening?

very well, unknown steps were heard at the hallway that was connected to the same room taehyung got in not long minutes ago. he was so distracted, that muttering under his nose some useless and unknown words would expose him.

he suddenly felt a thigh grip around his mouth and waist, making him gasp and thankfully - snap back to reality.

it made him shut up, as the male who was walking at the hallways thought it was just some random noises and continues his way.

jeongguk, great. just fvcking great.

his eyes were widened in shock as first, feeling the strong scent of expensive perfume and cologne from the male's cloths.

''what the fvck were you thinking''jeongguk lowly said, more than asking, as his mouth was close to taehyung's ear.
agh, the plan that taehyung made a few days ago, perfect time for it.

instead he turned his body and his eyes felt at the mask the other male was wearing, that was exposing only his mouth from his whole//handosme/ face. ''hmm, look who came to save me from being kicked out of the game'' taehyung innocently smiled, his eyes falling at jeongguk's hand that was still held on his waist.

''you seriously are unbelievable, y'know kim?''jeongguk chuckled and his touch was long gone. ''what a way of saying thank you''he again kept his voice low, making it even deeper.

''jeongguk-ssi, don't you think we're a bit close now?'' taehyung hummed, the small innocent smile didn't leave his face either. even a slight smirk was formed on his lips. ''what? aren't we gonna kiss now? as in the movies?''

jeongguk left a chuckled and put away his mask, revealing his divine face. the divine attractiveness that only jeon joengguk owned. ''as in the movies, couldn't you think of something better?''

taehyung's lips formed now a pout, as he kept on teasing the other. ''aren't you a doctor, because I feel like i'm dying right now'' a joke was said, as he ran his fingers thru jeongguk new hair colored hair. dark violet to be exact, colour that was probably not going to stay still for too long.

''new hair colour, huh?''taehyung kept on distracting jeongguk, trying to reach out for the emblem that was written on what role he had in the game. jeongguk caught him on time and took his wrist.

''stop talking, yah?''he suggested and looked at taehyung's brown eyes. ''I already know you're mafia, baby''he instead formed a smirk, making taehyung open his mouth in a gasp.

he made taehyung stutter, for real. ''y-you, th heck..h-heck you know-''he said angrily and mad at the same time, as there was no chance he exposed himself before.

''just now, taehyungie. I said you are in the mafia, not in the game but outside this building.''which meant he was talking that taehyung is working for the mafia now, not about his role in the games.

''however, you just confirmed you are the mafia in the game''he left the grip and put on his mask. as taehyung was left amazed and unbelieved of how tricky jeongguk acted. nothing new actually.

''plus fifty points for me, which makes me win the game'' he smiled, showing up his teeth in the smile. ''thank you for helping me win the game, v-ssi''he announced and proudly shot with his gun right next to taehyung's head, that was pinned to the walls.

as jeon jeongguk had already discovered the other roles of the players, as taehyung was the last one left. this time, taehyung had helped jeongguk to win the game, without even realised.

and jeongguk dropped his gun on the floor, that had only one bullet during the game. a bullet he waisted for taehyung, to shoot next to him.
