Fracture S3 [Taekook]

• Kept Secret •

"What's wrong Jungkookie? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Indeed, Jungkook has seen a ghost, and he's standing at his front door, smiling brightly like the day he first met Jungkook. 

"How...are you alive.." Jungkook blinks, trying to process if this is real or just his insanity taunting him. 

"Who said I died in the first place?" Hoseok purrs, letting himself into the house. "Nice place you got here." he looks all around until his predatorial eyes fall upon Taehyung. "Ah, I see you have your little boy toy here with you." Hoseok takes one step closer, keeping his eyes on the terrified brunette. 

Taehyung cowers into the wall, breathing heavily and on the verge of a panic attack. He remembers the news about Hoseok, how he supposedly died in a fire in the mental hospital. He was so happy at the time, thinking the man who turned Jungkook into a killer was dead. But here he stands, looking perfectly fine, except for the fact that he is sweaty as if he's been running. 

"Mind if I have a taste?" Hoseok advances closer, his tone coming off threating. 

The door slams behind him, and in an instant he feels the cold tip of Jungkook's knife at his throat. 

Hoseok feels his knees buckle, the urge to moan a breath away. "Oh, knife play? How kinky."

"This is not a fucking joke." Jungkook seethes, pressing the blade firmly against Hoseok's neck. "How the fuck are you alive? We all thought you were dead." 

"Easy there my little bunny." Hoseok holds both hands up in surrender, keeping himself calm. "Did you forget my very last lesson?" He slowly turns around to face Jungkook, keeping his hands up still to show he means no harm. "The art of evasion."

Jungkook thinks back on it, but he doesn't remember Hoseok teaching that. "What it that supposed to mean?"

Hoseok rolls his eyes. "Oh, that's right. I never got a chance to teach you that because somebody had to fuck it all up." he glares at Jungkook, but keeps going with the conversation. "Sometimes when things don't go your way, and the heat of the moment gets too intense, you have to disappear for a while until the heat dies down." he boldly takes a step closer, not caring that Jungkook still had a knife at his throat. 

"Let them think you are dead and gone. Then when they least expect it, you make your return, and you come back stronger than ever." Hoseok lets out a low chuckle, amused by his own words. "And that my dear bunny, is the art of evasion." 

"So...all this time you've been in hiding, waiting for a chance to come back again." Jungkook paraphrases. 

"Yup, and word on the street is Kim Namjoon is dead, thanks to you." Hoseok smiles fondly at that. "I'm so proud of you Jungkookie."

Hearing those words gives Jungkook a sense of comfort and belonging. It also brings his guard down, letting him relax and put his knife away to firmly hug Hoseok. "I missed you so much hyung." 

Hoseok gently hugs him in return, keeping his smile on his face. "I missed you too bunny." he says, pulling back to get a good look at Jungkook's new appearance. "Tattoos, piercings, and that scar." Hoseok slowly licks his lips, enjoying what he sees. "You look great."

"I can say the same." Jungkook says, looking at Hoseok's platinum blonde hair. "You look different."

"I try to keep up with the new trends." Hoseok teases his hand through his hair. "Anyways, I want to know all the dirty details on how you managed to kill that bastard Kim Namjoon and end up with this little delicate flower." Hoseok glances over to Taehyung, not forgetting his presence. "You can come closer darling, I don't bite...hard." He bites down on the air, making a loud clack sound with his teeth, which further frightens Taehyung.
