Crimson Shadows

Chapter 15

~Two days later~

-Seokjin's POV-

I stare at the message Hyunjin sent me. He wanted to meet at the old factory. I knew better than to ignore him...

I parked my car in front of the old factory, the headlights casting eerie shadows on the decaying walls. The building had seen better days, just like my relationship with my brother. Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of the car and walked inside, my footsteps echoing in the empty space.

Hyunjin stood in the middle of the room, his smirk visible even in the dim light. He looked almost casual, leaning against a rusted pillar, but I knew better than to trust his relaxed demeanor.

“Seokjin, how nice of you to join me...” he said, his voice dripping with mockery.

“What do you want, Hyunjin?” I asked, not bothering with pleasantries. “I don’t have time for your games.”

“Oh, it’s not a game...” he replied, pushing off the pillar and strolling towards me. “It’s a warning.”

“A warning about what?” I demanded, my patience wearing thin.

Hyunjin stopped a few feet away from me, his smirk widening. “I’m going to take Namjoon away from you. Just like I’ve taken everything else you ever cared about.”

My blood ran cold at his words. “Stay away from him, Hyunjin. This has nothing to do with him.”

“But it has everything to do with him” he said, his tone light and almost playful. “He’s your new toy, and I’ve always enjoyed breaking your toys.”

“Namjoon is not a toy!” I snapped, my fists clenching. “He’s—”

“He’s your weakness.” Hyunjin interrupted, his smile turning cruel. “And you know how much I love exploiting your weaknesses.”

“Why do you always have to take what’s mine?” I asked, my voice cracking with barely contained rage.

“Because it’s fun,” Hyunjin replied simply. “And because I can...”

I took a step closer, my eyes locked on his. “If you touch him, if you even think about hurting him, I will destroy you.”

"Why shouldn't I?" Hyunjin taunted, his eyes gleaming with malice. "You see, Seokjin, I've always had a knack for taking what's yours. Father's approval, the business... and now, Namjoon."

Rage surged through me, but I forced myself to stay calm. "You won't touch him!" I growled. "If you even think about it, I will destroy you. I swear to God!"

Hyunjin laughed, a cold, bitter sound. "Oh, Seokjin, you always think you're so powerful. But what will you do when Namjoon realizes what kind of monster you are? When he sees the real you?"

"He already knows who I am" I shot back. "And he loves me despite it."

"Does he?" Hyunjin raised an eyebrow. "Or have you been lying to him, hiding the truth? Because if I get my hands on him, I'll make sure he knows everything. I'll make him see you for the ruthless killer you are."

My heart pounded in my chest, fear mixing with anger. I took a step forward, getting right in his face. "If you ever go near him, if you even breathe in his direction, I will end you. Do you understand?"

Hyunjin's smirk widened. "You always were so dramatic, Seokjin. But we'll see who comes out on top this time."

"I'll fucking show you who's better this time! You don't mess with another man's lover! I'll fucking kill you with my own hands!"
