**At the University Campus**

The morning sun blazed over the sprawling campus, a sleek fortress of knowledge buzzing with students. Taehyung’s car rolled to a stop, the engine’s purr fading as he and Jungkook stepped out, the air thick with the weight of unspoken secrets.

Taehyung :- “Okay, bun, study hard, yeah? And come to our canteen for lunch today,” (he said, voice soft but eyes sharp, not buying Jungkook’s earlier dodge.) 

Jungkook :- “Really, hyung? Can I bring Bogum and Taehyun?” (he asked, eyes lighting up, a spark of excitement cutting through his nervous edge.) 

Taehyung :- “Yeah, sure, bring ‘em. I’ll let Kai and the others know,” (he said, nodding, a protective glint in his gaze.) 

Jungkook :- “Thank you, hyung, you’re the best!” (he chirped, leaning over to plant a quick kiss on Taehyung’s cheek before bounding off, backpack swinging.) 

Taehyung :- “Something’s up with him,” (he muttered, watching Jungkook’s retreating figure, his scared expression from earlier gnawing at him.)

Taehyung :- “Looking spooked inside school… did someone mess with my bunny? I’ll find out at lunch,” (he growled, a Mafia King’s instincts flaring as he parked the car and headed to his crew.) 

The moment Taehyung stepped out, the campus erupted.

Students :- “Taehyung! Taehyung!” (they shouted, voices a chorus of awe, worshipping their heartthrob bad boy.)

Taehyung’s face stayed cold, unbothered by the adoration—he didn’t give a damn about their cheers. 

Kai :- “Yo, Tae, my dude!” (he called, weaving through the crowd, his grin wide as he clapped Taehyung’s shoulder.) 

Taehyung :- “Morning, what’s good with you all?” (he said, voice cool, falling into step with his crew—Kai, Soobin, Mingu, and the others.) 

Soobin :- “All good, man, but we gotta move—lecture’s in ten,” (he said, checking his watch, leading the pack toward the lecture hall.)

**After the First Lecture**

The hall emptied, students spilling out like a tide. Taehyung leaned against a wall, his crew gathered around, the air casual but charged with his quiet intensity. 

Taehyung :- “Yo, I gotta tell you something,” (he said, voice low, eyes scanning his friends’ faces.) 

Kai :- “What’s up, Tae?” (he asked, leaning closer, sensing the shift in Taehyung’s tone.) 

Taehyung :- “Kook, Bogum, and Taehyun are coming to the canteen for lunch,” (he said, his words deliberate, watching their reactions.) 

Everyone :- “What?!” (they gasped, voices overlapping.)

Soobin :- “You know the others don’t vibe with that, Tae. They’re our brothers, but it’s risky having ‘em here.” 

Taehyung :- “I know, I know,” (he said, raising a hand to silence them.)

Taehyung :- “But Kook’s been off lately. Scared, like something’s got him spooked, and he won’t talk. I’m betting Bogum and Taehyun know something. We’ll ask ‘em together.” (His voice was steel, a king’s command veiled in concern.) 

Soobin :- “Alright, if they’re scared, we’ll figure it out,” (he said, eyes narrowing.)

Soobin :- “Whoever’s messing with them, I’ll end ‘em.” (His voice was a growl, fists clenching.) 

Kai :- “Yeah, we’ll bury ‘em,” But what if it’s a teacher, huh, Soobin?” (he said, smirking, but his eyes were serious.)

Soobin :- “Don’t care, I’ll still take ‘em down,” (he said, voice fierce, purple heart emoji practically glowing in his defiance.) 

Taehyung :- “Enough, prep for loss, you’ll blow your bank balance,” (he said, a faint smirk breaking his tension.) 

Mingu :- “For real, they’ll order the whole damn menu and eat crumbs,” (he groaned, shaking his head, the group nodding in amused agreement.) 

Professor :- “Settle down!” (he barked, striding in, lecture notes in hand, silencing their banter as the lesson began.) 

*The campus hid its secrets well. Jungkook never came to the university canteen—Taehyung’s bad-boy reputation as the heartthrob king, feared and revered, kept the younger ones away. The brothers, led by Namjoon, who owned the university, had sworn the principal to secrecy about Taehyung’s power. A single glance from the Mafia King could bring anyone to their knees, his fights legendary, his troubles a shadow the hyungs shielded Jungkook, Bogum, and Taehyun from. But something was stirring, a mystery cloaked in fear.*

**With Jungkook**

Jungkook stepped onto the college side of the campus, the air lighter but his heart heavy with something unspoken. 

Bogum :- “Yo, Kook, my bun, how you holding up?” (he said, pulling Jungkook into a warm hug, his smile bright but searching.) 

Jungkook :- “Good, what about you guys?” (he said, forcing a grin, though his eyes darted nervously.) 

Taehyun :- “Always good, let’s roll, we got class,” (he said, slinging an arm around Jungkook, leading them to their lecture.) 

The class passed smoothly, but Jungkook’s fidgeting didn’t escape Bogum or Taehyun’s notice. As the bell rang for break, the trio headed out, the weight of Jungkook’s secret hanging like a storm cloud. What was he hiding? Why the fear in his eyes?
