Next day
With a devilish plan, Tae's morning began. Before anyone woke up, Tae got ready and left the house. Only Jackson noticed, but he didn't take it seriously because early and midnight outings were nothing new for For Tae, however, this was new, especially since all his friends refused to go out with him due to fear.
With a sly smile, Tae got out of the car in front of a Juice shop, where the owner himself came out to welcome him, leaving everyone confused and mouths agape.
Jack: "Close your mouth or a flies will fly in and live in your stomach and lie eggs."
Joker: "Did you say flies have the power to make me pregnant?but you can't right."
(Hearing this, everyone looked at them with deadpan expressions.)
Jack: "If you want, I'll make you pregnant right here, right now. Are you ready?"
Employee: "Stop it, guys! Or you'll both be fired.
Joker: "He can fire us, but first tell me-who is he, and why does our snake respect him so much?"
Employee: "The respect is for his kim family, not him. Idiot. Now go do your work instead of wasting time."

Employee: "The respect is for his kim family, not him. Idiot. Now go do your work instead of wasting time."
Saying this, he left. Everyone watched except one boy, who looked on blankly.)
Tae's side
Tae: "Did you arrange everything I asked?"
Owner: "Yes, Young Master. Everything is as planned.
"Tae: "Hmm."
(Tae took his usual seat, watching as everything unfolded. Then the boy came with strawberry milkshake and
waffles and began serving.)
Tae: "What's your name? Jun...nonk....Jungkook, right?
even Say your name -it makes me feel dirty
(Sayings tae spray mouth fresher in his mouth)
But I wonder, where's your surname? Don't you know your father's name or did not your mother say to you?"
JK: "Your food's ready, sir. You may eat."
(JK's calm voice only made Tae angrier. Tae wanted to provoke JK and enjoy his pain, but JK remained composed. Tae longed to see Jungkook angry and helpless, if just for a moment.)
Tae: "I see. You know how to act professional. But do you know what we babies without surnames are? or did your mother herself don't know who's child
was you?"
(Hearing this, JK struggled to control his anger but understood what Tae wanted. He chose silence, bu his patience had limits.)
JK: "You really like talking about surnames, don't you? Maybe because that's the only thing you were born with. Take it away, and you're just another loud man hiding behind his father's name."
(He stepped closer, voice steady but cutting.)
JK: "People like me build a name for ourselves. People like you inherit one and still manage to ruin it. So tell me, Mr. Kim-without your surname, who are you?" (Jungkook's lips curved faintly as he leaned back.)
JK: "Oh, I said your name. What will you do? Did you change your name? If so, I'll choose a good one for you-how about Greedy Witch?"
Tae: "Stop it!"
(Angrily, Tae stood, shaking the table, and the strawberry milkshake splashed over him-a huge humiliation, especially before JK. The owner came over, watching Tae with fearful eyes.)
Owner: "Young-"
Tae: "Fire him now, or prepare to say goodbye to this place forever."
Owner: "But-"
(Before the owner could finish, Tae left. JK glared angrily at the owner, signaling it was his last day. Before leaving, JK showed the middle finger and walked off. Other employees smiled-but stopped when they saw the owner's furious glare.)
(In the washroom, after removing his long coat, Tae wiped away the milkshake angrily, his teeth clenched in fury. Not long after, Jungkook entered and stood behind him. Before Tae could turn, Jungkook leaned in, hands braced on the basin, eyes locked on Tae's reflection-on that look of pure disgust that stung him more than he cared to admit.)
:
Tae: "Get away from me, idiot, or else..."
JK: "Or else what? What's your problem,? I'm doing my best to stay away. Don't make it harder for yourself." (Tae's anger snapped. He turned, but Jungkook's arm slid around his waist, firm and possessive. Tae cursed inwardly-of all days, he had worn a crop top, and Jungkook's touch against his bare skin burned with humiliation.)
Tae: "How dare you... I just fired you. Don't make me erase you from this world too, you street dog."
JK: "I was a street dog. So what? Did I bark at you?
Did I follow you?"
(Jungkook's grip tightened, calm but trembling under controlled rage. Tae's disgusted glare only made his blood boil.)
Tae: "Take your hands off me. If you touch me again, don't think I'll let it go. This Kim Taehyung doesn't' rest until he wins."
(Jungkook turned him sharply to face him. Tae met cold, fiery eyes staring back-eyes filled with pain he refused to see.)
JK: "Is that so?"
(Jungkook flicked the leftover milkshake onto Tae's neck. Tae gasped, furious, but before he could push him away, Jungkook's hand brushed over the wet spot, smirking.)
Tae: "How dare you kiss me again?"
JK: "Why did you bury this place, huh?"
Tae: "Yes, but this time I'll bury you alive. You'll see soon enough."
JK: "You hate us that much, huh? Do we look like animals to you?"
Tae: "You always will be. When you touch me, I feel like a bug's crawling on me. It makes me sick. It won't stop until I get what I want."
(Jungkook finally snapped. His eyes turned red with fury, his voice low and cold.)
JK: "I don't like forcing anyone. So don't make me. Because that might be the thing that really buries you one day, Mr. Kim Taehyung."
Tae: "I'd rather bury myself before letting a poor dog like you touch me."
(Before Jungkook could respond-)
Minho: "My dear buddy... where are you?" (Startled, both turned. Minho peeked in, shyly hugging the wall with a nervous smile.)
Minho: "What's this, Jungkook? I go to my hometown for one week, and you've already found someone? But come on, man, public washroom? That's bold." (Tae pushed Jungkook away instantly. Jungkook looked at his friend, silently begging him to stop talking.)
Minho: "Relax, sister-in-law. No need to be shy. I get it."
Tae: "Sister-in-law, my foot! You both are brainless idiots. And you... you'll get what you deserve one day." (Tae glared daggers at Jungkook, who met his eyes without flinching.)
Minho: "That's not enough, sister-in-law. My friend's not weak, you know. One day won't be enough-at least give him five days for save his V-card of 25 years."
Tae:"you patience boys."
(With fury, Tae threw the coat at Minho's face and stormed out.)
Minho: "What's going on, Jungkook? Was he angry... or shy?"
JK: "Long story. I'll tell you once we get home. How'd you even find me here?"
Minho: "Jack told me."
(Jungkook looked back at his reflection-his cold eyes, clenched jaw. He hated how much Tae's disgust hurt him. He didn't regret the kiss anymore; there was no point explaining. All he wanted now was to teach Kim Taehyung what it felt like to burn. Minho stood nearby, still clueless, watching his friend's reflection darken with unspoken resolve.)
Jim side
Jim's sleep wasn't good, just a restless doze from pure tiredness. He woke up the moment his alarm rang, the noise letting him know it was time to get ready for college. With a lazy face, he called out for his cat, "juju," but couldn't find her in the room. Still half asleep, he stepped outside-right where his kitty always played with her mouse toy.Jim smiled, loving the sight right after waking up. He always believed his cat was his lucky charm. With sleepy sluggishness, he stepped outside his room, watching his kitty pounce and tumble with the toy mouse. The scene made him grin. He bent down, picked his cat gently into his arms, and started covering her with kisses-but his happy expression faded as last night's memories crept into his mind.
Jim: What can we do now, JuJu? Should we run away from here? But if we do, where would we go? We don't know anyone here. How can I leave everything, JuJu? Mom is in pain, but there's no one else here I can share this with. Don't worry, JuJu, wherever we go, Mom is never going to leave you, okay? (JuJu meowed softly, as if she understood and agreed. Jim smiled, hugging her close to his chest. But his peace didn't last for long.)
Knock knock.
With a confused look, Jim went to open the door, JuJu in his arms. His confusion turned to sudden. fear when he saw Suga standing angrily outside in the early morning. The sight made him nearly freeze -Suga's sharp eyes scanned Jim head to toe, noting his sleeveless top and short pajamas. Jim tried to close the door, but before he could, Suga stepped forward, trapping Jim against the door with both strong hands Jim bowed his head and hugged JuJu tightly as Suga's hot breath brushed over him.
Suga: This is what you wear when you open the door, huh? Are you trying to show yourself off to everyo?
Jim wanted to shout back, but the words wouldn't leave his mouth. Suga smirked at his silence, leaning closer to Jim's neck, but Jim quickly ducked away, which only made Suga angrier. Usually, Suga ignored the attention of other boys and girls, but this-this was different. For the first time, someone had turned his own tactics against him.
Jim: Sir, please... please leave me, sir. (Hearing Jim's pleading, Suga paused, reality flickering in his eyes. He touched Jim's cheek gently, but Jim stared at him with disguised, conflicted eyes that didn't go unnoticed.)
Suga: What's your answer, doll? One day, or... (leans in close, whispers)Forever with me? (Hearing this, tears silently streamed down Jim's face.)
Jim: Sir...
Suga: I've already given you enough time. I need my answer now-are you going to choose, or should I choose for you, doll?
Jim: Sir, please leave me... I'm not the person you think. For you, we're nothing. Please don't make our lives more complicated.
Suga: Complicated? What about my life? After seeing you, I can't sleep... I was-Why can't you understand, doll? You make everything so hard for me. Sometimes I want to destroy you.
(He gripped both of Jim's hands, who still clutched JuJu to his chest.)
Suga (bitterly): You make me lose control every time. (He leaned in and kissed Jim's neck. Jim tried to push him away with one hand, the other clutching JuJu tightly. Suddenly, JuJu dug her claws into Suga's neck, making him flinch and step back in pain. Jim took the chance to run to his room and lock the door, while Suga held a hand to his wound, glaring angrily at the closed door.)
Suga: Don't be happy, doll, it won't be easy to get away from me. If my eyes fall for something-its always Yoongi's belong-and I will make you all mine. And you? You'll come crawling back to me, begging, desperate to be
mine.and beg me to fck you, and I'll fck you-over and over until there's nothing left but us.
(Saying this, he stormed away while Jim collapsed near the door, clutching his kitty tightly to his chest as tears poured down.)
After completing his work, Jackson read a book, which was his favorite hobby. At that time, the house bell rang. Tired, he opened the door where his mom showed a happy smile, but Jackson did not; he simply went inside, which made his mom worry. With a small smile, she go Inside while jackson came with juice,
placed it on the table, and started to read his book. Before she could start to speak, Tae came inside angrily, his dress stained with juice.)
Liya: Now, in which garbage did you go and roll, idiot?
Tae: Your house, my so-called sweet grandma's... Ahuch...
Even your house is nothing compared to ours. Am I right, Mr. Jackson?
(But Jackson didn't give any reaction; he simply focused on his book, which made Tae angrier. Without a word, he went near him, took the book, and threw it away, which made Liya angry, but Jackson only gave a calm
look, which made Tae remember Jungkook.)
Tae: Can't you tell your mom to watch her mouth before talking to me?
Jackson: Why can't I tell you to watch your mouth before talking to elders?
Tae: Because I am kim...
Jackson: You were. Without Kim, you are nothing. So try to learn something by yourself and treat everyone the way they deserve, not the way you want. And one. more thing-I don't have the energy to talk with an arrogant idiot like you, so...
Tae: You dare to?
Liya: Is this how you talk with your mother, Tae? Can't you?
Tae: Before teaching me, teach your own son to be a mother, not a maid, brainless people.
(Saying this, Tae went towards his room. Jackson sat, putting his hand on his head; he wanted to shout at Tae but not in front of his mom. His mom looked at him with worried eyes.)
Liya: I am sorry, son, for forcing you to live with that heartless human. If I had known he would treat you like this, I would have taken you with us then.
It's all because of me. Please forgive us, son.
Jackson: There is no use talking about the past now, mom. It's too late for a change, and it won't do any good anymore.
Liya: It will, son... I'm not asking you to come back or forcing you now, but don't give up the things that belong only to you and Suga. Do you understand what I am saying?
(Without a blink, Jackson only looked at his mother who looked at him with vengeful eyes.)
In college,
Ani, David, and Mayire waited for Taehyung at the gateway, their usual hangout place near a round stone bench under a big tree. Ani and David were talking and having fun, but Mayire looked downcast.
They tried to cheer him up, but couldn't.
At that moment, Tae's car stopped near them. Tae got out wearing an angry expression and sat down beside them.
Ani: What happened, Tae? You said you wanted to insult him, but you look like you just came out of boiling water
Tae: If you talk about him again, Ani, I might forget you're my friend.
David: He's right, Tae. We can't easily put down street dogs. It takes time. So don't be hard on yourself. If you want, just call me-I'll always run for you. But if Suga hyung finds out, please forget you have a friend named David.
Ani: Idiot, if you're afraid of Suga hyung, why do you support him?
David: Because he deserves it. If we don't control the dog, it will bite us one day.
Ani: They're humans too, David, not just dogs.
Tae: Ani-
(Ani closed his mouth, knowing that was enough.
Tae's eyes fell on Mayire, who still looked dull.
Tae already knew the answer and didn't want to ask.)
Tae: I told you before, I can only give the path, not the source to reach the place.
Mayire: I think it would be easy if he accepted me, but it's more painful than death.
David: Love is always painful. That's why I love being single-no pain, only gain.
(He looked at Ani, who playfully spat saliva in his face with a fake angry expression.)
David: It's okay, baby. I'm used to it.
(They were talking until Jim walked by, lowering his face as he went to class.)
Tae: He always come to college on time. But what happened now?
David: Who knows? Do you want me to call him?
Tae: No need. I already had a hard time dealing with one dog.
(Hearing this, Ani shook his head and focused on his notes, while David smiled at him without blinking
Mayire looked pained, and Tae was angry-ang that Jungkook remained restless.)
Tonight, Jim didn't come to work, which was unusual for JK. Despite that, he started doing his work while Minho approached him with an order.
Minho: Did you call Jimin?
JK (softly, a hint of worry in his voice): I did, but he didn't answer.
Minho (nodding, trying to keep the mood light): We'll go and see after work is done.
JK (rubbing his forehead, tired): Work done? Don't forget, I still have work after this.
Minho (smiling, but serious):I hear, your snake fired you from work, what's happed Jungkook and Jk:I will tell you all after complete the work Minho I don't want street be now (Hearing this Minho nodded his head but his question was not stopped)
Minho:Our area, Laila, has been waiting for you to say yes.why didn't accept her Jungkook, she was good girl and perfect for you.
ith emotion): You know, Minho, after our orphanage close one who took care of us. Do you want me to betray him? Minho (pausing, then gently): But it seems he also approved of you-with his daughter love Jungkook.
Why not try Jungkook? And I know you have fee for Laila, don't you?
JK (looking away, conflicted): I do, but my life isn't that easy to live, Minho. I don't't want her to walk this painful path with me. She deserves someone who matches her status.
Minho (leaning in, concerned):stauts? You work 24 hours, but don't want to spend money beyond a limit. So what will you do after saving it all?
JK (whispering, determined): I have no reason to spend it now. I have a dream I need to complete. For that, I need to earn more.
Minho (grinning, teasing): More than six jobs a day, huh?
JK (managing a small, tired smile): More than that.
Minho (with a playful sparkle): Want a shortcut?
You'll get everything with one clap.
JK (curious despite himself): What's that?
Minho (with a mischievous grin): Marry our owner. Then this bar will be yours, and you can go wherever you want.
JK (raising an eyebrow, a small laugh escaping): Sounds good, but what about her husband?
Minho (confidently): Don't worry bro, I'll take care of him.
Lia (offscreen, teasing): Who takes care of whom, Minho?
(Hearing this, Minho realized it was his owner. Without turning, he walked over to JK.)
Minho (chuckling): He really behaves like a possessive wife when it comes to you.
(Saying this, Minho left. Lia shot a hungry look at JK, who gave a faint smile and returned to his work.)
Tae side
to boost Mayire's mood, they ended up at the Star Bar where JK works. Tae was simply drank, but his mind was clouded with thoughts of JK, making his peace even worse. Mayire drank nonstop, while Ani and David happily enjoyed their drinks.
David: We came here to boost our spirits, but just look at these two.
Ani: Come on, Mayire. Nothing's going to change if you keep whining like this. Do you think Tae will pity you and talk to his brother? Hell no. (Hearing this, Tae glanced at Mayire, who looked at him hopefully.)
Tae: I'm his brother, not his uncle. If you want something, do it yourself.
(Ani and David bursted out there laughter, while Tae drank silently. Their smiles faded when Mayire gave them angry looks.)
Mayire: Go fill my glass before I kill you, idiots. (She handed a glass to Ani, who looked at her with a "done with this" expression, ready to go. But before that, David stopped him and took his glass. Tae a Mayire exchanged exhausted looks.)
Mayire: If you want to romance, then get a room, idiot.
Ani: Romance, my foot.
(Ani lowered his head shyly while David turned to go but stopped.)
David: Tae, your favorite dog is here. (Hearing this, Tae looked towards David, who stared straight ahead. Following his gaze, Tae saw JK laughing loudly and serve drinking heavily, which is fueling Tae's inner fire. Suddenly, his anger twisted into a smirk.)
Tae: What will a dog do if it doesn't have food? Beg?
Ani: Tae, no please... don't mess with his work. (Without saying a word, Tae dialed his phone.)
Tae: Hyung.
🔥 Things are getting intense… and this is just the beginning.
Do you support Tae or Jungkook? 👀
