Shadows of desire : SVT✅

(11) Their Reality

Scoups POV

I was in my cabin drinking my glass of whiskey, lost in my thoughts, when her face came into my vision. Her smile had something that drove me mad for her. It was pure, unguarded, and lit up her face in a way that made it impossible to look away.

She had a natural grace, a gentleness that seemed out of place in our world. Watching her like this, so serene and content, stirred something inside me. I took a drag from my cigarette, trying to shake off the feeling, but it only grew stronger.

She seemed to belong in a world far removed from ours, yet here she was, and somehow, she made this place feel like heaven for the devils. I couldn't help but be drawn to her, wondering what it was about her that captivated me so completely.

But will she be able to survive in our darkness, or will she be consumed by it? Will she endure the shadows that surround us, or will they snuff out her light?

whether she realized it or not, she was becoming a part of this intricate game.
I gazed at the photo of Yuri in my phone, her smile frozen in a moment of genuine happiness. A thought crossed my mind, a possibility I hadn’t considered before. She may be a pawn now in this game, but what if she becomes the queen?

The idea intrigued me, the potential she held was immense. She could be more than just a piece in this game. I put the phone back in my pocket, my mind now racing with new possibilities. She was already changing things around here; maybe it was time to see just how far her influence could go.

Next Morning

Everyone was present in the meeting room, glaring at each other. Scoups had called them to gather for a meeting.The atmosphere was quiet and tense, thick with unspoken words and simmering resentments. Just then, Scoups entered the room, his presence commanding immediate attention.

He sat down and motioned for everyone else to take their seats. As they settled, he fixed them with a fierce gaze, his eyes piercing through the tense silence.

"You guys think that I wouldn't know what you're up to?" he began, his voice low but laden with authority.

Everyone stiffened, the gravity of his words sinking in. They were acutely aware of his anger, the power he held, and what their leader was capable of.

"Let me make this clear," Scoups continued, his tone unwavering. "I've seen the division, the secrets, the whispers behind closed doors. Do you think I wouldn't notice? Do you think I don't know every move you make?"

Jun swallowed hard, glancing briefly at Hoshi, who kept his gaze on the table. Dino and Seungkwan exchanged nervous looks, while jeonghan sat rigidly, feeling the tension in the room.

"I won't tolerate disobedience. I won't tolerate betrayal. You all know what I can do. You know what I will do if it comes to that."

A collective shiver ran through the group. They knew the consequences of crossing him, the brutal efficiency with which he dealt with threats, both external and internal.

Scoups nodded to a guard, who quickly moved to the control panel and pressed a few buttons.

The large screen at the front of the room flickered to life, and a CCTV footage began to play. The room was silent, the atmosphere thick with anticipation and unease.
