Vengeance Is Mine | Kim Taehyung x Reader

⚠️ WARNING: EXTREME MATURE THEMES ⚠️

This story is intended for mature audiences and contains themes of violence, gore, abuse, rape, death, depression, self-harm, and anxiety. Reader discretion is advised.

New York is the most expensive city in the world, a gleaming facade built on cheerful lives and powerful dreams. But beneath the steel and glass, there is another world-a dark underbelly where law and order are a complete joke, and war rages unnoticed.

The Prestons are names the world forgot, names some fear to hear, names that echo a mystery.

When Ellie (Y/N), a fierce player in this shadowed game, crosses paths with the powerful BTS, the city's most feared and disciplined force, the rules of the war change. They are driven by an old promise of vengeance, but their confrontation quickly dissolves into a dangerous, co-dependent chaos.

The lines between enemy and protector blur in a single, devastating moment:

"I fucking told you not to take the bullet for me," Ellie (Y/N) barked at him, the fear beneath the fury tearing through her voice.

Taehyung is consumed by the cost of their choices, wrestling with a guilt that threatens to shatter him:

"Do I deserve her, Hyung??"

And the others are barely holding the pieces together, bound by their commitment to a plan that might save them or destroy them all:

"I know it's hard, love, just hang in there a little more," Jungkook whispers.

"Do we ever be happy, Hyung??" Jimin asks.

"We will go all in," Kim Namjoon asserts, ready for the final descent.

This is a story of broken promises and devastating emotional trauma, where the only choice is to fight, love, and burn-but at what cost? In a world where the only certainties are violence and betrayal, can Ellie ever truly be okay?
