The dark sky spewed streaks of lightning. Rain would set in soon. Showering over the streets of a never silent city.

Jungkook and his friends have been hanging outside a bar , smoking pot and getting wasted with cheap beer. "I swear to the gods , I have no idea what you see in that slut", Valrico cackled. Jungkook simply puffed out smoke and smirked at his friends comment. He had always crushed on Anastasia. Despite being constantly rejected, his feelings for her remained. She was the only girl to ever say 'no' to him on multiple occasions . She had even slapped him. The thought of that slap still pisses him off but he wouldn't dare harm her— not when her husband was a fucking cyclone.

"Leah would look perfect beside you. She's sexy and smart ", frank add. "Guys — I'm not looking for a girlfriend. Hookers are all I need", jungkook tossed aside the burnt-out cigarette. "Good to hear bud. Besides, I'm sure Anastasia won't be trouble anymore ", Valrico chirped. Jungkook raised a brow, staring at his smug friend. "Why? ", he asked. Frank chuckled along with Valrico. "What happened?", jungkook furrowed his brows. "Nothing much. Just gave her a warning", he shrugged. "A warning? I asked you guys to steer clear from her", jungkook snapped. Valrico frowned , clearly he was annoyed that jungkook was still trying to protect her. "After everything. You still choose her over us?". Jungkook pushed himself off the wall, shaking his head. Suddenly he was sober. "I'm not choosing her asshole! I have my reasons for saying leave her alone", his voice trailed as his eyes catch a glimpse of Taehyung walking toward them.

"What the fuck did you do", he whispered to Valrico who was also sobered up now.

"Boys", taehyung casually greet. "Hey man", jungkook cleared his throat. "Just passing by. Thought I'd seen wrong but it is you guys", he said while reaching for the cigarette in franks hand. "Thanks", he mumbled and placed it between his teeth. Valrico remained close to jungkook. They had not forgotten how taehyung had almost punched jungkook to death. "Aren't you guys supposed to be studying or some shit?", taehyung puffed out the smoke. "We're in college to please our folks", jungkook said while taking the cigarette from taehyung. "I can tell", taehyung flicked his flopping hair away from his vision.

Thunder struck and the rains began. A slight drizzle sweeping over them. "Well, party time is over. It was fun bumping into you", jungkook said and signaled the other two to follow him. Taehyung stepped aside , allowing them to pass but made sure to stop Valrico . Jungkook and Frank holt — "Val, let's go", jungkook nervously called. "I'm here to see him", taehyung smirked. "Why?", jungkook pretended to not know. "He knows why and so do you", taehyung cocked a brow. Valrico gulped , his option of sprinting away was short lived as Taehyungs fist landed on his nose. The force causing the smaller one to fall onto his ass. "What the fuck!", jungkook intervened but taehyung shoved him back. "This is between us ", he barked. Valrico regret downing down cheap beer, the sight of his fingers being greased with blood seeping from his nose , made him spew out fountains of brown. "Gross", frank held his mouth and turned away. The rain beating down harder with each passing second.

"I asked you assholes to leave my wife alone!", taehyung shout above the drumming rain. "I'm sorry", Valrico stuttered as he was yanked up by his collar. Jungkook was forced to stand aside and do nothing. "Your apology means nothing to me", taehyung laughed and fisted him to the ground again. Valrico landed on his arm , yelping from the sudden pain. "Do you have any fucking idea who you're messing with? Who's wife you're harassing?", he couldn't help but chuckle. If only they had seen him rule prison — they would never even glance at what's his.

"Fuck!", taehyung grit. "The next time any one of you assholes touch her! Or even fucking look at her — I will not hesitate to kill you all in the most inhumane way!", he warned.
