Fluent In Silence [Taekook]

Chapter 27 : Rose petal

The basement was imbued with an air of solemnity that could be felt in every corner. It was so thick that it felt as though it was a tangible entity in the air, weighing down on every breath that was taken.

Hyungsuk was seated on the sofa, his postures exuding a sense of drastic domination. Two men were tied, hanging upside down. Bloody and awfully injured, they appeared to have undergone severe torture.

"You assumed you could escape with ease."

"W-we carried out what he instructed." One of the two men made an effort to let out in front of Hyungsuk with his frightened self.

"And you will have the worst sorrow of your life for following his orders; it is your fatal fault." Hyungsuk's voice holds rigidity.

"P-please, please f-forgive me. He directed us to bring the helicopter t-there." Another one pleaded while hanging upside-down.

And while he begged, the other one followed him." Y-yes yes please f-forgive me too."

" He g-gives us money. We therefore s-serve him. We h-have no connection with his work. We jus-aaaa" He couldn't complete as he was being lashed.

"Those who oppose us are not forgotten. My son and I are the world's most vicious individuals, for them." Hyungsuk's tone darkened.

Hyungsuk aimed his gun at them and blood spurted out of their skulls as he randomly shot them. Thereafter, Hyungsuk made his way out of the basement followed by Namjoon.

They entered the car and Namjoon received a phone call. "I gave him a pill before arriving here. He will sleep for some time, he needs it." Hoseok informed Namjoon about Seokjin.

Following the mafia's order, Hoseok went to the fight point already with all his tools since Taehyung and Jungkook, in particular, required their wounds to be bandaged at least slightly due to their terrible injuries as soon as possible.

"His worry about Taehyung was immense. Has never stopped condemning himself for Taehyung's kidnap." Hoseok said again.

" Yes, I'm aware. Alright, Hoseok. Let him sleep for some time." Namjoon hangs up his phone and thereafter speeds up his car.

Namjoon went directly to Hyungsuk towards the end of their fight with Baekhyun, bringing the two escaped men. Hyungsuk is beside him as they drive to the mansion.

The echoes of fight and gunfire had finally subsided, giving way to a tranquil silence. Jungkook glanced out of the car window before his gaze settled on Taehyung again, who was nestled in his arms. Taehyung's chest rose and fell with calm breaths, almond eyes gazing blankly into the distance.

He tightened his hold on Taehyung's waist in a comforting way. He yearned for him. His heart still aches as he observes Taehyung's state.

However, the sight of Taehyung in his embrace brought a wave of immense contentment over Jungkook, as if everything had finally fallen into place.

Dark orbs were on Taehyung the entire way as they drove back to his mansion. Jungkook's hand and his wounds were dressed where the gunshot had grazed his arm, while Taehyung's foot and hands were also lightly wrapped in bandages by Hoseok.

The car passes through the large gate of the Jeon mansion, finally arriving home. Taehyung gets up and moves away from Jungkook's arms, and the mafia looks at him for a few moments before he exits the car. The deadly quietness of the petite male worries Jungkook.

As Taehyung unlocked the car door to step out, he felt a sudden lift before his burnt feet could touch the ground. To his surprise, he found himself in Jungkook's arms. Mesmerizing eyes stared at the beautifully stern features of the mafia. Together, they entered inside.
