love in the shadows

chapter 29

Taeoh trained Seokjin in the ways of the mafia, teaching him how to fight, how to strategize, and how to survive in a world filled with danger and betrayal. Seokjin proved to be a quick learner, his determination and intelligence making him a valuable asset to Taeoh's team.

Years passed, and Seokjin became a skilled and feared member of the mafia. But when Jungkook, then just 18 years old, started his own group, Taeoh saw an opportunity. He knew that Jungkook's talents and abilities were unmatched, and he believed that Seokjin would be a valuable addition to his team.

"Seokjin, I think it's time for you to join Jungkook's team," Taeoh said, his eyes serious.

Seokjin was taken aback. He was 7 years older than Jungkook, and he had always seen himself as a leader, not a follower. But Taeoh's words struck a chord in him. He had seen Jungkook in action, and he knew that the young man was something special.

"Are you sure, Taeoh?" Seokjin asked, his voice hesitant.

Taeoh nodded. "I'm positive. Jungkook may be young, but he has a natural talent for leadership and strategy. And his...unique personality" - Taeoh's eyes flickered to Jungkook's cold, emotionless face - "will be an asset in our line of work."

Seokjin nodded, his mind made up. He would join Jungkook's team, and together, they would take the mafia world by storm.

And so, Seokjin joined Jungkook's team, becoming one of his most trusted and loyal members. Despite their age difference, the two men formed a strong bond, their respect and admiration for each other growing with each passing day.

As they worked together, Seokjin realized that Jungkook was more than just a talented young man. He was a visionary, a leader who saw the bigger picture and was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals.

And Seokjin knew that he was proud to be by Jungkook's side, fighting for their common goal - to take down the Kim family and bring justice to their own.

Flashback

Jisoo and Jennie had thought they had found a safe haven when they arrived at the orphanage with little Taehyung. But they soon realized that the orphanage was not what it seemed. The owners, a shady couple, were training the kids in the ways of the mafia, teaching them how to fight, steal, and survive on the streets.

Jisoo and Jennie were horrified, but they had no other option. They had to keep Taehyung safe, and the orphanage was the only place they could think of to hide him. So they stayed, and they learned everything they could from the owners.

But when Taehyung turned 3 years old, the owners started teaching him the same things they had taught Jisoo and Jennie. Jisoo and Jennie knew they had to act fast to save Taehyung's innocence. They made a plan and ran away from the orphanage, taking Taehyung with them.

For years, Jisoo and Jennie worked for various mafia groups, doing odd jobs and gathering information to keep Taehyung safe. They never stayed in one place for too long, always looking over their shoulders, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Jisoo and Jennie's life was a constant struggle as they navigated the dangerous world of the mafia. They had to be constantly on guard, looking over their shoulders, waiting for the other shoe to drop. They had no one to trust, no one to rely on, except each other.

And then, there was Taehyung. Their little brother, who was only 3 years old when they escaped from the orphanage. They had to keep him safe, no matter what. They had to feed him, clothe him, and protect him from the harsh realities of their world.

It wasn't easy. There were times when they went hungry so Taehyung could eat. Times when they slept on the streets, huddled together for warmth, so Taehyung could have a roof over his head. Times when they had to fight off predators, human and otherwise, to keep Taehyung safe.

But they did it. They survived. They thrived. And they did it all for Taehyung.

Jungkook didn't know any of this, of course. He didn't know that the two women he had recruited as his secret informants were actually siblings, fighting to keep their little brother safe. He didn't know that they had been through hell and back, and were still standing.

All he knew was that they were good at their jobs, and that they were loyal. He trusted them, and they trusted him.

But as they worked together, Jisoo and Jennie began to realize that Jungkook was different. He was kind, and compassionate, and he actually cared about them. He asked about their past, about their family, and he listened when they told him their stories.

And so, they began to open up to him. They told him about Taehyung, about their struggles, about their fears. And Jungkook listened, his eyes filled with understanding and empathy.

"I had no idea," he said, his voice cold. "I'm so sorry, Jisoo, Jennie. I had no idea what you've been through."

Jisoo and Jennie exchanged a look, and then they both looked at Jungkook. "We didn't tell you because we didn't want to burden you," Jisoo said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jungkook's face hardened. "You're not a burden," he said. "You're my teammates. My secret informar . And I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe."

And in that moment, Jisoo and Jennie knew that they had found a true ally. They knew that they could trust Jungkook with their lives, and with Taehyung's life.

And so, they continued to work together, the three of them. They took on missions, they fought off enemies, and they protected each other's backs. They became a team, a family, and they knew that they would always have each other's backs.
