Codename: Ghost Cipher
Role: Underground information broker
Enigma
Personality: Charismatic, sarcastic, unpredictable, emotionally aloof, master of disguise

Background: No known record exists of his real identity. Orphaned in the system, Taehyung was raised by a former intelligence agent who vanished mysteriously. He built his reputation from the shadows by toppling empires with a whisper.

Ghost in the System
Enigmas don’t belong. They dominate.
In a world ruled by Alphas and Omegas, Enigmas are whispered about—unpredictable, unclassifiable, unstoppable. There were only two known in the underworld.
One vanished.
The other rose.
The room was silent except for the low hum of machines and the soft clacking of keys. Screens flickered with encrypted data, surveillance feeds, and firewalls being dismantled one by one. Kim Taehyung leaned back in his chair, a chocolate lollipop between his lips, eyes scanning the chaos he’d just unleashed with casual elegance.
Kim Taehyung
Too easy.
(he murmured.)
He had just breached the unbreachable—Erebus Syndicate's primary intel server. It was supposed to be impossible. But impossible had never meant much to the Ghost Cipher.
He extracted a single file before disappearing into digital nothingness.
Kim Taehyung
(Then he smiled.)
Kim Taehyung
Catch me if you can, Lucien.
Across the city, high above the skyline in a sleek tower built like a blade slicing the clouds, Jeon Jungkook’s phone vibrated. He answered without looking, his voice low, emotionless.
?
They breached it.
(the voice on the other end said, shaky.)
Only one file taken… top tier clearance.
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook’s jaw ticked.)
What did he take?
?
(The man hesitated.)
The Black Vault.
Taehyung was already three identities deep by the time the sun set, blending into the noise of the city like smoke. From neon-lit clubs to back alley bazaars, he moved with ease—part shadow, part flame. No one noticed him. That was the point.
But as he reached a quiet rooftop to watch the encrypted file load, a chill crept up his spine. His instincts screamed.
He wasn't alone.
He turned fast—blade already drawn.
A bullet struck the metal edge of the rooftop beside him.
Jeon Jungkook
Missed on purpose.
(came a voice, smooth as sin.)
From the shadows emerged Jeon Jungkook, dressed in black, eyes burning with something dark and unreadable.
Jeon Jungkook
You’ve gotten slower, Ghost.
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung’s grip tightened on his blade, but he smirked.)
You’ve gotten cockier, Lucien.
Jeon Jungkook
I had to evolve. After someone tried to kill me and disappeared for three years.
Kim Taehyung
Still bitter?
( Taehyung raised a brow.)
Didn’t know assassins had feelings.
Jeon Jungkook
You stole from me.
Kim Taehyung
You had it coming.
They stared each other down—an invisible battlefield of tension, history, and hunger crackling between them.
Jeon Jungkook
I want that file.
(Jungkook said flatly.)
Kim Taehyung
I’m sure you do.
(Taehyung purred, taking a step back.)
But you’ll have to catch me first.
He turned sharply to run—only to find another bullet whizzing past his head.
Jeon Jungkook
Next one’s not a warning.
(Jungkook growled.)
Taehyung froze.
For the first time, his pulse skipped.
Jungkook wasn’t bluffing.
Kim Taehyung
You’ve changed.
(Taehyung said finally, lowering his blade.)
Jeon Jungkook
You haven’t.
(Jungkook replied.)
Still reckless. Still beautiful. Still dangerous.
His voice dropped into something quieter. Darker.
Jeon Jungkook
I should kill you.
Kim Taehyung
Then why haven’t you?
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook walked closer until their faces were inches apart.)
Because you’re mine, Taehyung. Always have been.
Taehyung’s breath caught—not in fear. In memory.
And for a moment, he forgot why he ever ran.
But only for a moment.
Because the file still glowed on his device—and what was inside could ruin them both.
He stepped back with a smirk, eyes flicking to Jungkook's lips.
Kim Taehyung
Then come and prove it.
Bite the Bait
It was well past midnight, and the city pulsed like a beast in heat—sweat, neon, blood, and secrets. Taehyung stood at the edge of a rooftop, wind teasing his coat as he watched the chaos below, trying to silence the storm within.
Jungkook had found him.
And yet, he hadn’t dragged him back in chains. Not yet. That was worse—because Jungkook never did anything without a reason.
Kim Taehyung
He’s playing a game.
(Taehyung muttered, tossing the empty lollipop stick into the air.)
And I’m the prize.
He couldn’t afford to lose control. Not when his second gender was a secret the world wasn’t meant to know.
Not when he was an Enigma Omega!!!
Across town, in a dimly lit private bar where only the elite dared to breathe, Park Jimin sipped on a crystal glass of something dangerous. His pheromones were muted, but still laced the air like poisoned perfume. He sat curled into the booth like a feline, dressed in silk and sin, eyes on the man across from him.
Park Jimin
You’re quiet tonight, Yoongi-hyung.
Min Yoongi, Alpha, underworld tactician, didn’t lift his gaze from the data tablet in front of him.
Min Yoongi
Taehyung reappeared. Jungkook didn’t bring him in.
Park Jimin
(Jimin tilted his head, golden hair falling into one eye.)
So he’s slipping?
Min Yoongi
(Yoongi finally looked up.)
No. He’s waiting.
Park Jimin
(Jimin’s smile turned sharp.)
Isn’t that what snakes do before they strike?
Min Yoongi
(There was a pause. Yoongi leaned back, unreadable.)
And what do Omegas do?
Park Jimin
(Jimin leaned in, his voice honeyed.)
The smart ones? We bite first.
Meanwhile, Taehyung moved through the ruins of an abandoned metro tunnel, invisible under the hum of broken city lights. This was his escape route, mapped years ago when he’d first broken from Jungkook’s control. A place no Alpha could scent, no tracker could trace.
But Jungkook wasn’t just an Alpha.
He was something else. Like him.
An Enigma Alpha—unchained by scent, immune to suppression, built for chaos.
That’s why their bond had always been dangerous.
Because Enigmas weren’t meant to be together.
Later that night, Taehyung broke into a safehouse hidden beneath an antique bookstore. Dust cloaked the room, the air thick with memory. He dropped his gear, peeled off his jacket, and stared at himself in the mirror.
His scent suppressants were wearing thin.
He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the faint ridges of faded scars—marks from Jungkook’s control, from their war-torn past. And yet, beneath them, something primal stirred.
His reflection’s pupils dilated.
Something in him wanted to be found.
A low buzz made him turn sharply.
The monitor flickered to life.
Encrypted transmission. No ID.
But he knew the voice the moment it came through.
Jeon Jungkook
Run all you want, Tae. But we both know you’ll circle back to me eventually.
(Jungkook’s voice was velvet and venom.)
Enigmas aren’t meant to hide.
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung leaned close to the mic, lips curling.)
Kim Taehyung
I’m not hiding. I’m choosing.
Jeon Jungkook
And what are you choosing now?
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung smirked.)
War.
Back in his penthouse, Jungkook stared at the blank screen long after the feed died. His jaw was tight. His chest burned—not with Alpha rage, but something older. Wilder.
He didn’t want to mate him.
He wanted to own him.
Jeon Jungkook
And if Taehyung wants a war?
Then Jungkook would burn the world just to hold his ashes.
