Shinigami (vkook)

18: Conspiracy

TP POV:

"What do you mean?! You're telling me we have a level seven on our hands?!" Jin exclaimed as Namjoon finished explaining the situation.

"Precisely what I just explained" the lavender-head looked so tired and so done with everything. Supervising all the departments during all the shits going down has been taking a toll on him.

"That explains why there have been more high level spirits lately. The attacks, the meetings, everything" Yoongi worded out.

"The last level seven destroyed half of the reaper population before we could even do anything. Why must it re-apear?!" Someone panicked.

"What have the higher-ups said?" Hwasa asked. "They don't know what to do either" Namjoon sighed.

"What the fuck?! They're the higher-ups! They should know what to do" Jimin exclaimed. Everyone in the room was tense and anxious. They didn't know what to expect.

"Jimin don't scream. It makes sense. Most of the higher-ups now weren't here during the era when the first level seven emerged. And the rest weren't there when the supreme grim took it out so it is only natural they don't know what to do." Taehyung interjected and tried to calm the other down.

"My, aren't you such a good friend! You've grown so much Taehyungie" a repulsive voice spoke out suddenly. The entire room went silent.

"Why the fuck is he here?!" Hoseok raged. The male rarely gets mad but now he was furious. Mingyuk just smirked.

"Does he even understand what the hell is going on right now? Who even let him sit here?" Yoongi snapped as well.

"I'm just here to look after my Taehyungie, he doesn't handle pressure well you know" he said nonchalantly. The notion making Taehyung's blood boil.

Jeongguk slammed his hand against the table. The entire thing shook violently at the impact. "Someone tell him to stop talking about my boyfriend or I will bash his skull in" his voice was dark, his eyes menacing. He looked scary.

But Mingyuk just didn't seem to notice or didn't care because he stood up whilst his chair fell and he pointed an accusing finger at the raven.

"He's my fiancé! How dare you call him your boyfriend" he screamed. Jeongguk felt something in him snap because he summoned his glock and shot at the man's head. Barely missing by a millimeter.

But we all know that was intentional.

"The next one isn't going to miss" he said in a deep dark voice. Mingyuk just stared at him shocked.

Namjoon just stood there doing nothing. It wasn't his place. He didn't have to step up either because Taehyung stood from his seat slowly.

His face unreadable as he turned towards his boyfriend. "Baby put the gun away. If you hurt him you'll get punished. I don't want that" he explained in a soft voice.

The room was dead silent so his words could be heard clearly. Jeongguk was about to protest but Taehyung interrupted. "I'll handle the fuckshit. You stay calm" he said and pecked his lips. The raven visibly calming down.

Then Taehyung turned around to the now fuming Mingyuk. The brunette's eyes so dead it was frightening.

He advanced forward and stood in front of the latter within seconds. "You don't seem to understand what I say. You're even dumber than when you were alive. Or the medieval times are still up your ass that your pathetic self can't get out of it" Taehyung spat.

"You're mine and you can't do anything about it. Not then not now" Mingyuk smirked with so much confidence it was annoying.

Taehyung chuckled humorlessly. "Where does this baseless confidence come from? You just don't know your place. Seems like I'll have to use your own methods to make you understand" he said darkly looking straight at him.

"And what are you gonna do with your little body hmm?" The latter mocked.

Jessi scoffed from the other side of the room. Taehyung gave a demonic smirk, his eyes crazed as he stared at him. "I'll beat the shit out of you" he said before grabbing him by the throat. And in seconds Mingyuk was smashed to the wall. A few cracks could be seen on the concrete.

The guy had his breath knocked out. But before he could regain his air, a piercing sound rang through his ears. No one else could here it but judging by Taehyung's glowing blue eyes it was pretty clear he was the reason.

The sound got so unbearable that his ears and nose started bleeding and he started to shake. A shrill scream leaving him.

"Tae that's enough!" Yoongi and Namjoon's voice said at the same time. Taehyung let go of Mingyuk's neck and let him fall to the ground. His eyes turning back to normal.

Mingyuk was staring into space astonished, he looked so out of it. The brunette crouched down in front of him and whispered "next time you come near me or anyone else I know, your nose and ears won't be the only thing that bleeds" he threatened.

Mingyuk couldn't even talk after that. Taehyung smirked and stood up, walking back to his boyfriend who was grinning in absolute delight.

"That shit didn't know who he was dealing with" Jessi shouted as the injured male was taken out by someone.

A few of them chuckled but most of them stayed silent. "Now back to the problem at hand, what do we do? Any suggestions?" Namjoon asked looking around.

"What about we talk to Wigen?" Yoongi suggested. "Who's Wige" Jeongguk asked quickly.

"She's an official, well former official. She retired after the last supreme grim left. And she hasn't met anyone since" Jimin answered. "That's what you know. She meets Taehyung. Only him though" Jin added.

"Why him only?" Byeomgyu asked confused. "That we don't know. But we can use this to our advantage. She can guide us" Namjoon stated hopefully.

"How?" Baekhyun asked. "Wigen can see the future. She can't tell us anything directly but we'll take all the help we can get at this point" Namjoon answered.

They all nodded and came to the conclusion that Taehyung would go to Wigen for answers the next day.

The meeting was dismissed and as they were leaving the room one by one, Taehyung turned to Jeongguk.

"I want to tell you something Gguk" he said. The raven looked at him in question as he put his palm on the brunette's lower back.

"I'm ready to tell you about my past" he whispered. Jeongguk's eyes widened in shock. "Are you sure? You don't have to-" Taehyung shushed him with a peck. "It's okay, I want to" he smiled softly.

Jeongguk nodded and guided him away from the crowd. "Let's go for a walk. It's a beautiful night" the brunette said and intertwined their fingers before guiding them to the back garden.

It was high time Jeongguk knew what happened to him.

💀💀💀💀💀

Not your tough words,

Nor your big frame,
You don't scare me.
I

am stronger,
Much more rougher,
I'm more menacing than what you can see.
I'll crush you with my hands,

Make you cry til you're dizzy,
I'm not the person who I used to be.
Not anymore,
You don't scare me.
