Prologue

AT THE PARK....

"Mom, Dad." The 6yr old Kookie squealed in excitement.

"Yes Kookie, my boy. You are the only one that brings me so much peace and also my greatest weakness," Mr. Jeon said while hiding his biggest fear in his heart. 

Jungkook didn't understand what his father said but he smiled.

Mrs. Jeon, Jungkook's mother, the second powerful person after her husband Mr. Jeon, the Underworld Lord, looked somewhat tensed and serious.

"Yes, I got you Yoona. I'll make sure they suffer ten times of they did to you. Find a place and save yourself. I will get you out of there, I promise." Mrs. Jeon was furious the next moment.

"Hyunjin, take young master to play." Seeing his wife so filled with anger, Mr. Jeon called his bodyguard.

" Yes Master." Hyunjin, a very tall, strong built man in black suit rushed towards Mr. Jeon. He bowed and picked up Jake in his arms and went aside.

"Young Master, your father wants me to take you to play." he said without a smile in a serious tone.

Jungkook giggled holding Hyunjin tight and burying his head in Hyunjin's chest said,

"Uncle, can you really play with me?" Hyunjin was amazed by the kid's behaviour and he smiled but he was caught by naughty Jungkook, who giggled even more.

Seeing this, the other guards also laughed. It was a given that everybody loved and doted on the young master as their own son.

"What's the matter, Honey?" Mr. Jeon asked, placing a hand on Mrs. Jeon's shoulder and pulling her into his arms.

"The Parks have crossed their limits and broken all rules this time. Seems like Old Park might need us to teach a few lesson to his son, Seojun."

"Okay, I understand, but what's the matter? Explain to me---"

" Master," said one of the guards rushing to him, " Bad news."

"What is it, Jeffrey? You always bring me bad news, it's no new to me. Tell me, what's the news?" Jeffrey looked tensed with his creases on his forehead.

He bent down and whispered in Mr. Jeon's ear, "Sir, the Park's elder son Seojun was caught smuggling Cocaine in one of our hotels- The Moonlight."

Mr. Jeon understood what was happening and what made his lady so furious.. After all, Mrs. Jeon was the love of his life and the one he trusted with his life.

"Honey, let's get you and Kookie home. I will take care of this. I promise."

"Hyunjin, take Madam and Kookie to the penthouse." He understood the meaning which meant there's danger. 

Only when the family is potentially to be in danger, they move to the penthouse which sits high up on the 50th floor of the richest building named, " The Jeons"

"No worries, Master. I will take care of it." Hyunjin was Mr. Jeon's most trusted bodyguard and also his advisor.

He placed a hand on Mr. Jeon's back and said, " Dongsaeng-ah (brother), give me a call if at all there is anything. I will be there." And Mr. Jeon nodded at him.

Hyunjin was more than a brother to Mr. Jeon. And age wise he was elder to Mr. Jeon, so he respected and took his advise in everything. He looked at his wife and Kookie who were smiling and waving at him..

He waved them back and left, "Let's get going. We have hell to clear today." 

"Yes, Master." The guards said in unison. And the Rolls Royce which had Mrs. Jeon and Kookie and the other black Mercedes cars parted their ways.

Prologue (Cont..)

TWO YEARS LATER....

"Honey, it's Tae's birthday tomorrow, how about we take him to his favourite park? He loves to play there." Mrs. Kim said smiling to her husband.

Mr Kim, was a the most famous Arms and Ammunition manufacturer and No.1 in the Fighter aircrafts and advanced powerful computer based missiles manufacturing. He was known not only for this, but also as a very down-to-earth person. But he also had his secret identity of a ruthless mafia.

"Yes, alright. No issues. But you how difficult it is for our family to just go out. But I promise. I will make sure to cancel all the appointments and meetings for tomorrow.

Mrs. Kim looked sad at her husband's reply. Mr. Kim cupped his wife's face in his hands and said "Darling, don't worry. You know I hate to see you sad." He smiled at her and kissed her forehead, in turn getting Mrs. Kim to smile.

"You just know how to make up very quickly. I love you." Mrs. Kim loved her husband for his honesty and understanding. She would never get tired of him.

Suddenly they heard some giggling sounds and found little Tae hiding behind the couch. They tiptoed towards him and caught him and tickled him. Seeing him laugh made their hearts bleed with joy. They had nothing to give to him except lots of love. They lived for this.

---------

Tae was dressed in a black jeans, white shirt and tiny shoes, his hair combed backwards and cute glasses. He would still steal many hearts with this looks even when he was young.

While on their way to the park, they stopped at the red light. Tae was on the back seat at the window of their Bentley. While at the window, Tae saw a car that stopped besides their car. Their car looked very exotic just like theirs.

Suddenly the glasses rolled down and he saw a boy peeking out. Blue eyes, silky hairs fair skin, he looked like an angel.

"Mommy, there's a cute boy over there." He said pointing towards the Rolls Royce.

Mr. & Mrs. Kim were in disbelief when they heard him and they giggled. 

"See, honey, I've told you many times. He is just like you in your school days. Very flirty." Mrs. Kim said looking at Tae waving and smiling at the boy in the car next to theirs.

Mr. & Mrs. Kim were shocked at this side of their kid. Before they could react, Tae waved his tiny hand at the boy again in front of him. The boy smiled at waved back.

"Hi my name is Tae... Taehyung. What's your name?"

"Hi buddy, My name is ------

Before the boy could even say his name the red light changed to green and the cars went off their way.

"Jungkook." The boy in Rolls-Royce said to himself and smiled.

Later that evening, while returning home, they picked up Yoona -- Mr. Kim's sister. Yoona was surprised to see Tae and Tae's joy knew no bounds when he saw his aunt enter the car. Yoona was 28 and younger to Mr. Kim.

She wore a crop top and light blue coloured denims paired with a sling bag and shoes. Tae hugged her instantly and smiled. The smile dint leave his face for a while.. Yoona doted on little Tae so she hugged him back.

Mr. Kim got a call, he received it and put on speaker. It was his secretary, Mr. Joon.

"Hyung, return back now. Your lives are in real danger this time." He panicked as soon as Mr. Kim received the call.

Mr. Kim looked at his wife and at Tae who was playing with Yoona unaware of the danger. Yoona looked at her brother on hearing Mr. Joon's words.

"Who is it? And for what is it? Tell me. I do have guards with me in plain." Mr. Kim told his secretary.

"It's related to the new order of the arms and ammunition we got from Mr. Jeon. But the one creating problem seems to be their rival or maybe ours or maybe both. I am not sure of it. But it's all planned out to kill both of you today. And per our information, Mr. Jeon is going out somewhere with his family today and so are you. I think its killing two birds with one stone." Mr. Joon explained.

"Honey, I only worry about our kid. He is still a kid, why does he have to.....?" Mrs. Kim asked her husband who looked helpless and looked at the kid behind.

"Alright, I am coming back. Make sure everyone is alert." Mr. Kim said and he took a U- turn at the next signal and then stopped.

Mr. Kim's guards came running to him because he stopped the car.

"Alright, Yoona take Tae with you. And take this. This is the key to my study. Everything related to our business is in here, as for the rest, Mr. Joon will take care. He knows what to do in case." He told his sister and sent them with the other guards.

But as they were getting out of the car, another car stopped besides them. It was Mr. Jeon's car. He rolled down his windows and waved at him. But Mr. Kim saw the truck which was coming in full speed in Mr. Jeon's direction. So he and his wife looked at their kid one last time and then drove in full speed in the truck's direction smashing the full front of the car and making the truck stop.

Everybody's eyes widened in shock. There was a blast and the car caught on fire and rolled over a several times before another blast.

"MOM!!!! DAD!!!!" came the screams of the little boy who saw his parents die infront of his eyes.

On the other hand, Mr. Jeon was too shocked to speak anything. He was getting out of the car, but he was stopped by Mr. Kim's guards.

"Sir, this attack was to kill both of you, it was related to the deal. You can contact Mr. Joon. But for now, please take your family and return home. We will sort things here." He said and Mr. Jeon who never took orders or had to listen to anyone telling him do things, for the first time, he took the advice and left. If it were other times, the guard would be in pieces today.

There were a pair of eyes which never left Tae's helpless figure. He was 8 years and not a kid anymore to not understand what was happening here... He knew Tae's parent's had sacrificed themselves. Their death also saved his own family.

While on the other hand, Mr. Kim's guards succeeded in catching the truck driver alive and took him back.

"Take him to the dungeons." Yoona ordered and her familiar voice shocked the Jeons, but they were glad she was alive.

"Yoona..." Mrs. Jeon whispered and Mr. Jeon agreed.

The Jeons were greatly indebted and grateful to their saviour, but also their heart broke for the little kid. 

But who knew that Jungkook and Taehyung were fated to be together. Fate was on their side. But the thought of they coming together made the world tremble and they would anything to prevent it from happening.

First Meeting

UNKNOWN POV:

"You shouldn't be here, Tae." Yelled Jimin, Tae's best friend.

"Are you crazy? How can I leave you to die here? And don't you know me?" Tae yelled back blocking a blow from opponent part.

"If your aunt finds out you are here, she will not only punish me, but you will be grounded too. Go back. You know I can handle these brats." Jimin yelled again punching left and right to the guy who hit him in face earlier.

Tae himself was already a black belt in martial arts and kung fu, so taking down these few people was like killing an ant for him. He quickly took down the men around him and went and helped Jimin.

After they took down the remaining, they both started running back home. Tae, in the midst of looking back to see if anyone was following bumped into someone. But that someone held him from falling down. Tae's face was buried in the chest of that person.

"Th-thanks a lot." Tae said trying to catch his breath.

"Are you okay?" The person asked. Man. He was a man or atleast he sounded like one.

"Yes, just- just trying to catch my breath." Tae said and the person helped him stand straight while still holding him in his firm arms.

Tae stood straight and finally after a while he looked up and was met with blue emerald eyes looking at him worriedly. Who was this person? A complete stranger, and worried for me? Tae thought while searching for answers in the person's eyes. And as if hypnotised, he couldn't take his eyes off that person's eyes.

"You sure you are fine? I can drop you home. You don't look well." The person said again still holding Tae.

"Your eyes..." Tae said out of the blues pointing to his eyes.

"My eyes? What about my eyes?" The person asked curiously with a raised eyebrow.

"They're.." Tae said and stopped.

"I have seen them somewhere. I have a very familiar feeling. I know them, maybe.. Who are you? Do I know you or do you know me?" Tae asked the person and he shook his head.

"How would I know?" He replied.

"Tae, Tae... Taehyung-ah, where are you?" It was Jimin calling out for him.

"I gotta go. My friend is looking for me. Anyways, thanks for catching me or I would hurt myself." Tae said smiling at the person.

"With me around, how would you get hurt?" The other man asked Taehyung making him blush a bit.

"I mean, I was around here and you suddenly bumped into me. I could only hold you." The man again.

"What's your name?" Tae asked him.

"JK.. And you must be...?" The man asked him in return.

"Taehyung. Kim Taehyung. But call me Tae just like my friends." Tae replied to him.

"Friends? Am I your friend now? What's your age? I turned 25 this year." JK said to Tae and Tae's face lit up.

"Wow, I thought you would be someone elder, you look like. I turned 25 this year too. That's great. We can be friends since you helped me just now." Taehyung said.

"Well, I don't be friends with anyone so easily. I am sorry, but being your friend would be great too. Just not so easily. You never know, the person you make friends with can turn out to be your greatest enemy." JK said to Tae.

Taehyung somehow felt offended at this remark. He took a step back pushing JK back. He ran his hands through his hairs pushing them back. JK was observing every little movement of Tae. Tae bit his lower lip and then looked around.

"Enemy? Ha?" Tae laughed sarcastically.

"What's wrong with that? Am I wrong?" JK asked his eyes not leaving Tae even for moment.

"Have you heard of the most famous Arms and Ammunition, fighter jets and advanced tech missiles manufacturers, THE KIMS? Well, I, Kim Taehyung, am the sole heir to the KIMS EMPIRE. And I am taking over next week. You see me as an enemy? Even when the person extending a hand of friendship is actually me? Do you even realise what you're doing?" Tae asked JK who stood there stunned.

"Well, do you know THE JEONS? The Underworld Lord and Lady?" JK asked just to check if Taehyung knew him.

"JEONS? Do you know from where the arms, the jets, ammunition that they use come from?" Tae asked and laughed again.

"My dear friend, let me tell one more secret." Tae said putting an arm around JK's neck.

"What is it?" JK asked.

"THE JEONS and THE KIMS are very much close to each other ever since my father's time. They have been and still are the most VVIP customers of THE KIMS. And we have been the only choice of THE JEONS for years more than our ages combined." Tae replied to him with a smile.

"I get it. So are you friends with Jungkook, the sole heir of the THE JEONS? I heard he's taking over as the Underworld Lord next week too." JK asked him.

"Yes, I know him, but never saw or met him. I hope he is as good as his parents. Anyways we will be meeting again as the new owners for signing a new consignment very soon." Tae replied to him.

"What? You wana be my friend now? You won't regret I promise." Tae said to JK who thought for a while and smiled.

"Well, yes. I will be your friend. But not because of your  identity. I just find you cute." JK replied and he smiled genuinely for the first time.

"Great, see you soon then. Here, this is my card. You know where to find me... Bye. Take care JK." Tae waved at him and ran leaving JK in a daze staring at the fading figure...
