His Buried Past| Taekook

Chapter 44

A Year Later

Chocolate eyes flicked over the battered and restrained figure in front of him. Rivulets of blood mixed with sweat ran down the man's neck, snaking down his heaving chest as sobbing gasps spilled from his lips. Appraising the blackened, peeling mark which now decorated the torso of his victim, a pleased grin graced the delicate features of the man responsible. The abrupt sound of a throat clearing has him turning to face the person who's chosen to interrupt his playtime, his mouth falling open in surprise.

"Kookie! You're home early!" V can't hide the excitement in his voice as he jumps forward to wrap his arms around the taller.

"Baby, mind telling me why you're not dressed?", the older man's eyes darken as he takes in the exposed, golden skin of his lover's chest, spotted here and there with drops of blood.

The younger rolls his eyes, "Don't get all jealous now Kookie. I just didn't want to ruin my outfit. Besides, he's not gonna live much longer anyways."

Still looking annoyed, the ravenette grumbles under his breath, "He's already lived too long if he got to see you like this."

The silver-haired chooses to ignore the quiet statement, smiling cheerfully up at the mafia leader. "How was your trip? Everything went smoothly?"

Jungkook nods, wrapping his own hands around the waist of his lover. "Yes, everything went as well as expected." Leaning in, he nuzzles against the delicate ear of the other, his voice dropping to a husky murmur, "Although I missed having my babyboy with me."

Heart fluttering, V can't help but blush at the soft words, as well as the feel of the ravenette's lips against his ear. "I missed you too Kookie."

Chuckling at the flustered expression on Tae's face, the older turns his attention to the barely conscious man the assassin had been toying with. "I see you've been practicing with my present baby."

The younger nods happily, "I really like it! I've gotten better at keeping the lines neat. What do you think?"

The mafia leader had kept his word and gotten his baby a blowtorch, among other fun toys, to play with for his birthday. This time, the younger had decided to use the torch to inscribe his calling card into the chest of the bound man. "It looks great baby. What did he do to catch your attention?"

The younger man's smile drops, a disgusted sneer replacing it. "Caught him stalking a kid on the way home from school, jerking himself off in his pants."

A pained whine slips from cracked and swollen lips as the victim dares to raise his head, "Please, please spare me. I'm sorry! I'll never do something like that again!"

The ravenette rolls his eyes, ignoring the desperate pleas from the soon-to-be corpse. "Well, hurry and finish your playtime, baby.  I have a surprise for you. And we're going out to dinner with the hyungs later."

The younger tilts his head in curiosity, "What kind of a surprise?"

Jungkook grins and shakes his head. "You have to see it in person."

Pouting, Tae sighs heavily as he turns to the sobbing pedophile. "Boyfriends can be so annoying, can't they? But you heard the man, I guess I have to cut our time short if I wanna see my surprise!"

The man whimpers and tugs weakly at his restraints, "Please, let me go!"

Clicking his tongue, the silver haired boy shakes his head, bending over and stroking the sweaty hair of his victim, "Aww, you should feel happy! Usually, I play with my toys until they beg me to let them die. Isn't this much nicer?" With that, he grips the hair tightly and yanks the man's head back, the knife in his other hand slashing across his exposed throat. More blood paints V's hair and skin by the time he stands up straight and turns to face his boyfriend. "Okay Kookie, I'm finished."

The older swallows as his eyes trace across the blood-streaked golden skin and tousled curls. He loves seeing Tae like this, flushed and excited. He'd put his foot down about his boyfriend using himself as bait, so now the younger found other "toys" to play with.  You might think he'd eventually tire of seeing the beautiful man splattered in blood, but the way his pants were tightening right now proved that idea wrong.

Clearing his throat, he restrains himself from forcing the other to his knees right there. 'I can do that later,' he reminds himself.

"Okay baby, get dressed and let's go so I can show you what I brought back with me, hmm?"

Rolling his eyes, Tae drags his shirt over his head before taking Jungkook's hand and following him. The ravenette looks nervous as they come to a stop outside a secure room in the basement. The room is one used for interrogations, and other 'messy' situations. Taking a deep breath, the older tugs his lover closer. He'd considered finishing this task on his own, but had known that the younger deserved to be involved. But still, he couldn't help but worry that this may be too much for his baby.

"Baby, you know we'd been working on finding the rest of Wang's group, right?"

Tae's brows draw together as he nods, "Yeah,I know,". Jungkook and Baekhyun had put their teams to work together to track down everyone who'd been involved in the attack on Taehyung years earlier. Jackson may be dead, but Jungkook was determined that everyone who'd laid a hand on Tae would pay.

Swallowing and hoping he did the right thing, the older man opens the door to reveal several bound and beaten figures laying on the ground. Stepping inside the room, V looks around in shock. His heart is racing as he realizes what his lover has done. "You...brought them...here? For me?"

The mafia leader nods, watching the other man's face for a clue to what he's thinking. Did he screw up? Should he have just killed them himself?

He suddenly finds his arms full of an overjoyed assassin, warm silken lips against his own. Caught off guard, it takes him a second before he's returning the kiss, hands coming up to lightly tug at his boyfriend's hair.  Parting to take a breath, he gives a relieved smile, "I take it you're pleased?"

V grins excitedly, "Yes Kookie, of course! This is the best present you've ever given me!" Turning, he squats down in front of one of the bound men, gripping his hair to yank the man's face up. A giddy feeling bubbles up as he recognizes the desperate fear in the other's eyes. Reaching out, he runs gentle fingers down a bruised cheek as he coos, "We're gonna have so much fun together, aren't we? I'll show you all the toys my Kookie's given me!"

Giggling, he relishes the way the man's breathing speeds up, eyes widening at the crazed look of the blood-splattered boy in front of him. V's voice is filled with excitement as he claps his hands,"I can't wait!"

AN: I know, I'm awful for not updating in so long! I'm so sorry! My only excuse is that going to school, working, and taking care of my kids at the same time is crazy. I 💜 y'all!
