Love Beyond Eras
prologue 1
JK takes a deep breath while pulling out the sword that was stabbed by his brother, who is looking at him with hatred.
JK ( crown prince)
Why? WHY??" *he shouted.*
You could have asked for it, brother that you wanted the throne I would have given it to you happily!
JK ( crown prince)
JK felt the sting of betrayal pierce through him like a knife. His own brother—someone he had trusted—had turned against him.
JK ( crown prince)
His voice was cold, trembling with controlled fury as he said, 'But... you chose the wrong person to mess with.' With steady hands, he grabbed the sword and drove it into his brother's heart, ending it all in one decisive moment."
JK's father was shocked when JK killed his son.
Jk father
"JK, you killed my son! How dare you?" he screamed.
JK ( crown prince)
*staring directly into his father's eyes*" I hate you... I HATE YOU!!!!!
JK ( crown prince)
I have yearned for your love since I was a child. After my mother passed away, I felt abandoned, as if no one cared for me. But I clung to the hope that you, at least, would care for me.
JK ( crown prince)
But no, you were off with your concubine and her children, leaving me behind like I was nothing. Even now, you don't care about me. All you care about is your throne, your desires, and them—your other children. You shower them with love, but for me? There's nothing.
JK ( crown prince)
"Why? Why?! What did I do to deserve this?!" he shouted, his voice cracking under the weight of despair, anger.
JK ( crown prince)
So I started to think that I was the problem. I worked hard to be a better son for you all these years. I wanted you to be proud of me and accept me as your son, just like you accepted all your other sons.
His eyes were red with anger. He approached his father, grabbed him by the neck, and said...
JK ( crown prince)
But I didn't know that you were the person I had been searching for all these years... the one who assassinated my mother. The pain of losing her has haunted me every single day. You will pay for this...
JK ( crown prince)
"Your time has come, Father," he roared, his eyes blazing with fury. His voice was sharp and cutting, charged with the pent-up rage of years of betrayal and resentment. The air seemed to tremble under the sheer intensity of his wrath.
JK's grip tightened around the neck, his rage surging like a storm. Just as he was about to snap it, a sharp, searing pain erupted in his head. The blow sent him reeling, dizziness clouding his senses. He staggered, his vision blurred, until his father's bodyguards seized him.
They forced him to his knees before his father. His heart thundered with a volatile mix of fury and helplessness as he glared up at the man, his eyes burning with unrelenting anger.
Jk father
"Hahaha!" he laughed, the sound wild and unhinged. "At last, you know the truth." He strode toward Jungkook, his steps deliberate and menacing. Kneeling before him, he grabbed a fistful of JK's hair. "Yes," he hissed, his voice dripping with malice, "I killed her with my own hands."
He stood up, walked toward the throne, and sat lazily before saying...
Jk father
I was the general of this kingdom, and your mother was the princess. She was kind, strong, and unwavering—a light that shone too brightly for her own good. She loved me deeply, but I only saw her as a stepping stone. I thought marrying her would give me the power, that I would rule this eldoria.
Jk father
But after the marriage, I was nothing more than a figurehead, a king in name only. She held all the power, making every decision while I stood in her shadow. It was intolerable. Day by day, my resentment grew, and my pride demanded action.
Jk father
So I did what had to be done. On that fateful night, I ended her reign with my own hands.
JK's eyes welled up with tears as the truth of how his father had killed his mother. With fierce determination, he began to fight the bodyguards, his heart pounding with a mixture of rage and sorrow.
In the chaos, his father seized a sword and plunged it into JK's side. Blood sprayed across the room, and JK's vision blurred.
JK ( crown prince)
No, no, I can't die like this. Not without killing him. I won't die, he thought, his mind a whirlwind of pain and defiance.
Summoning every ounce of his remaining strength, he gripped the sword and, with a desperate cry, swung it at his father. The blade found its mark, and his father's head rolled across the floor. As the lifeless eyes stared back at Him, JK felt a bittersweet satisfaction wash over him.
JK ( crown prince)
" I am happy".I have taken my revenge, he whispered, his voice trembling with a mix of triumph and heartbreak. With that, he closed his eyes.
prologue 2
**Breaking News: Shocking Murder of Famous Pharmaceutical CEO**
This morning, the body of a famous pharmaceutical CEO was discovered, the victim of a brutal murder orchestrated by the notorious Mafia King V.
V was watching the news while smoking a cigarette, his eyes devoid of any emotion. And smirks while looking at the news.
V assistant
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door. His hand trembled, and his heart pounded in his chest. The silence was suffocating as he waited for permission, each second feeling like an eternity. Fear gripped him as he envisioned the consequences of delivering bad news to V. The thought of facing V's wrath made his knees weak.
V(mafia king)
Come in ❄️❄️
V assistant
"Boss, I have bad news," he said, his voice trembling with fear. "We couldn't save them. They changed the base where they were kept. We lost track of them. I'm so sorry, boss. I know how much this mission meant for you. We tried everything, but they were always one step ahead. I... I don't know how to make this right." His eyes darted nervously, anticipating V's reaction.
V(mafia king)
V looked at him with cold, piercing eyes. "How did they know we were tracking them and change their base? It's quite suspicious, right?" His voice was low and menacing.
He walked towards him, the weight of his presence growing with each step. Pointing a gun at his head.
V(mafia king)
He demanded, "Where is the base? Tell me."
The assistant's breath hitched, fear gripping his heart as he faced the relentless gaze of V. The room seemed to shrink, the tension almost suffocating, as he struggled to find his words.
V(mafia king)
"Do you think I'm some kind of fool? Hahaha!" V laughed maniacally, his eyes gleaming with a twisted delight. "You'll tell them all my secrets and think I don't know anything? I know everything!" His voice grew darker, the menace seeping into every word.
V assistant
"Sorry, sorry, boss! I'll tell you everything. Please don't kill me!" he pleaded, his voice cracking with terror. "The address of the base is... please, boss, I've told you everything I know. Please, don't kill me." Tears streamed down his face as he choked on his words, his entire body trembling with fear.
V(mafia king)
"How do you think I will spare you after you joined hands with my enemy?" V sneered, his eyes glinting with cold fury. The room was filled with a palpable tension as he raised the gun, his finger curling around the trigger. "You betrayed me," he continued, his voice dripping with disdain. "And for that, you will pay."
With a swift motion, V pulled the trigger, the sound of the gunshot echoing through the room. The assistant's body crumpled to the ground, lifeless.
V(mafia king)
V turned to his guards, his expression unyielding. "Guards, throw him in the rats' den," he commanded coldly.
The guards grabbed the lifeless body and dragged it away, the echoes of the gunshot still ringing in their ears.
V grabbed the car keys with a determined look in his eyes and headed for the door, making his way to the car. Once behind the steering wheel, he gripped it tightly, his knuckles turning white. The engine roared to life as he sped towards the base alone.
He arrived at the address and entered, his heart pounding with anticipation. As he stepped inside, he was met with a harrowing sight—many children, huddled together, scared and helpless. The scene triggered a flashback of his own childhood, a dark memory he had tried to bury. He remembered being kidnapped and sold to a big businessman, the fear and despair that had consumed him.
His eyes filled with sorrow, the weight of his past crashing down on him. The pain and trauma he had endured resurfaced, mingling with a burning desire to save these children from the same fate.
V(mafia king)
He called his guards to come to the address, his voice shaking with urgency. "Get here now," he commanded. As he waited for their arrival, he knelt down and began to untie the children, his hands trembling with anger.
The guards arrived and swiftly took the children to safety. As V watched them leave, a lingering doubt gnawed at him. How had he managed to save the children so easily? There was nobody guarding them. It felt too convenient, too effortless.
His mind raced, replaying the events. The unsettling quietness of the place, the absence of any resistance—it all seemed off. He clenched his fists, a mixture of suspicion and unease settling in his gut. Had he walked into a trap? Was there more to this than he initially thought?
Then V hears an audio recording from a phone that was left there.
V enemy
" tick tock, tick tock... Countdown your time, V. You're trapped in our trap." With that, the bomb exploded. Boom.
The explosion's force was overwhelming, and V's body was thrown across the room. The flames and debris consumed everything in their path. As the dust settled, the once-determined V lay motionless, his journey ending in a tragic twist of fate.
episode 1
It was a beautiful morning in the forest. V opened his eyes, the serenity of the surroundings quickly shattered by the sight of a big black bear charging towards him at full speed. Panic gripped him as he scrambled to think of a plan. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him, shielding V from the imminent danger.
The bear lunged, its jaws clamping down on the man's neck, and blood flowed freely. V's heart pounded, the world seemed to slow down around him. He quickly regained his stability, adrenaline surging through his veins. Drawing the sword from his belt, he mustered all his strength and stabbed the bear.
As the bear collapsed, V rushed to the man's side. His breath caught in his throat as he took in the sight before him. The man's eyes were filled with pain. V couldn't tear his gaze away, emotions swirling within him.
V(mafia king)
"Are you alright? Why did you do that?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
unknown
"Taehyung, I know you don't know me, but I have to say these words now, or I might never get the chance in this lifetime." He struggled to catch his breath, his eyes filled with a mix of pain and longing.
unknown
"I love you, Taehyung. I love you so much. I've been loving you from afar for the past two years, watching you, admiring you, but i never expected anything in return." Tears welled up in his eyes as he continued, his voice trembling. "I just needed to tell you that I love you. It's been my deepest secret, my strongest feeling, and now I can finally say it."
As he spoke, his breaths became more labored, the weight of his confession pressing heavily on him. The intensity of the moment hung in the air, both of them caught in the raw vulnerability of the words spoken.
unknown
"Jungkook, that's my name," he said. "I hope you remember me. I'm happy that, at last, I can express my feelings." As he spoke, he coughed, blood splattering from his mouth. "It's painful," he admitted with a smile, his eyes reflecting both physical agony and a sense of contentment.
V(mafia king)
V didn't know what to say; he was struck by the confession. His heart raced, and his mind struggled to process the weight of the words he had just heard. The man's eyes, filled with raw emotion and vulnerability, held his gaze. V felt a whirlwind of emotions—shock, confusion, and a strange sense of warmth.
V(mafia king)
For a moment, time seemed to stand still. The sincerity in the man's voice resonated deeply within him, leaving him speechless. The confession had caught him off guard, and he found himself unable to respond. It was as if the world around them had faded away.
Jungkook
"Taehyung... Can... Can I hug you... Please..." he pleaded, his voice trembling with desperation. As he reached out, his bloody hand gently touched Taehyung's cheek, leaving a vivid blood mark. His eyes were filled with a mix of pain and longing, silently begging for comfort in his final moments.
Without a single thought, Taehyung gently lifted Jungkook and hugged him. For Taehyung, this was the first time he had hugged someone, and he felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and safety. The embrace was tender.
Jungkook
Jungkook smiled, placing his bloody hands on the back of Taehyung's head. "I hope you find someone who loves you more than I do," he said with exhaustion, before closing his eyes.
V(mafia king)
"Jungkook! Jungkook!" Taehyung called out desperately, but there was no response. His eyes became misty as he backed away from the hug and saw that Jungkook was barely breathing.
Summoning all his strength, he lifted Jungkook and started walking, his heart pounding with fear and determination. He had no idea how to get out of the forest, but he couldn't stop. Tears filled his eyes as he carried Jungkook, each step feeling heavier than the last. Exhaustion took its toll, and his head began to spin, dizziness overtaking him.
V(mafia king)
"What's happening to me?" he thought, his voice a mere whisper. With a final, weary step, he fell to the ground, Jungkook still in his arms, and before darkness claimed him, he saw a man running towards him. And he closes his eyes.
