[Jungkook x Taehyung] Bloodlines and Ties

//1

In the opulent main hall of the grand estate, Taehyung lounges on a plush, velvet sofa, the fabric rich and deep in hue. Beside him, his mother sits elegantly, her demeanor serene as she sips from a delicate china teacup. The room exudes an air of wealth and sophistication, with gilded fixtures, crystal chandeliers casting a warm glow, and an expansive marble floor that gleams under the ambient lighting.

The large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall is the focal point, broadcasting the evening news. The volume is set to a comfortable level, filling the room with the low murmur of the newscaster's voice. Taehyung's gaze is fixed on the screen, a mix of boredom and curiosity on his face, while his mother watches with a calm, collected expression.

The news breaks with a daring server hack. The screen displays a masked figure, his identity unmistakable despite the disguise—Jungkook, the infamous villain, making a bold announcement: "It's boring to steal from common areas, I will be robbing one of the houses today. Stay alert and no need to thank me for the warning. You're welcome."

As he delivers his provocative message, a sense of tension and unease settles over the luxurious surroundings, contrasting sharply with the room's previously tranquil atmosphere.

As the news feed continues, Taehyung's stubborn nature comes to the forefront. With a defiant tilt of his chin, he declares, "I want to see what he can do. What does he think he is?" His tone is dismissive, a clear challenge to the notorious villain.

Just then, the masked figure on the screen responds directly to Taehyung's comment, his voice smooth and taunting. "Oh, you will," he says, his tone dripping with confidence. He follows this with a playful wink, a gesture that seems to pierce through the screen and directly into Taehyung's self-assured bubble.

The room falls into stunned silence as everyone watches in disbelief. Taehyung's mother's eyes widen, and Taehyung himself is momentarily speechless, his earlier bravado replaced by a look of stunned curiosity. The boldness of Jungkook's response and his provocative wink leave everyone's mouths hanging open, setting the stage for an unexpected confrontation.

The room is enveloped in a heavy silence as Taehyung's initial shock slowly transforms into confusion. His eyes remain glued to the TV, where Jungkook's confident stance and enigmatic smile seem to challenge him directly.

"Wha—why... How did—" Taehyung stammers, his voice barely a whisper as he struggles to process the gravity of the situation. His mother's expression mirrors his shock, her hand frozen mid-air, the teacup forgotten.

Jungkook's voice cuts through the silence, the finality in his tone unmistakable. "I'll be coming to your house next," he declares with chilling clarity. The masked figure's words are a direct threat, revealing that Taehyung's home is his next target. The broadcast ends, leaving the screen blank, but the tension in the room remains palpable.

Taehyung's initial shock quickly morphs into frustration and anger. He slams his fist onto the armrest of the sofa, his face flushed with determination. "Urgh! That thief. He really thinks he can get through the alarm systems, huh?" he growls, his voice laced with irritation and defiance.

Without missing a beat, Taehyung grabs his phone and quickly calls for the head of security. His commands are sharp and urgent, his voice brooking no argument. "Ensure full security immediately. I want every entrance covered and all systems on high alert. No mistakes."

His mother watches with a mixture of concern and admiration as Taehyung's authoritative tone fills the room. The once serene atmosphere is now charged with a sense of impending danger. As the security team mobilizes, Taehyung's mind races with strategies, determined to protect his home and prove that Jungkook's threat will not go unchallenged.
