The Vow of Shadow
Rebirth in velvet smoke
The oak doors of the meeting room opened with a heavy groan.
Cigar smoke swirled in lazy patterns above the polished table, where the Bangtan family gathered. Namjoon sat at the head, calm eyes behind his glasses, the quiet menace of a man who never needed to raise his voice to command respect. Beside him sat Jin, papers neatly stacked, gaze sharp and calculating. yoongi leaned back, tapping a pen against the table, expression unreadable. Hoseok, in contrast, grinned faintly as he cleaned a knife with a white cloth, looking far too entertained.
Jimin reclined with elegance, sipping wine, a teasing smile on his lips as he whispered something to Jackson—who was draped casually in his chair, all confidence and charm.
But Jungkook barely saw them. His gaze was fixed on one person.
Seated in the middle, whiskey glass in hand, a cigarette balanced between his fingers. His eyes burned sharper than anyone else’s, and his smirk carried the weight of both danger and temptation.

“You’re late,” Taehyung said, voice dripping velvet.
Jungkook swallowed. Alive. Here. Mine.
junkook
“I had… unfinished business,”
jin
Arched a brow. “Unfinished business on your first assignment back?”
yoongi
“Tsk. Reckless as ever.”
hoseok
“I say he just likes making an entrance.”chuckled
jimin
“Or maybe our golden boy is hiding something.”🤭
Namjoon’s voice silenced them all, calm but firm. His gaze lingered on Jungkook.
namjoon
"We have matters to discuss"
But Taehyung was still staring at him, a dangerous curiosity in his eyes.

So how was the first chapter 😁
Cigarettes on the balcony
The meeting stretched long into the night. Numbers, names, blood debts. Yoongi laid out a map, explaining shipment routes. Jin argued over diplomatic ties with allies. Jimin teased Jackson about his inability to resist Taehyung’s poker games. Hoseok laughed at every tense pause, enjoying the sparks between Jungkook and Taehyung far too much.
But Jungkook heard none of it. His attention never wavered from the man across the table.
When the meeting ended, the others filed out. Namjoon lingered only a moment, his gaze sharp as if he sensed Jungkook’s storm. Then he left with Jin and Yoongi, murmuring about strategy. Hoseok clapped Jungkook’s shoulder before leaving, a grin that said Don’t mess this up. Jimin and Jackson strolled out together, laughter echoing down the corridor.
Taehyung leaned on the balcony rail, cigarette glowing in the dark. The city stretched below in silver and neon.
taehyung
“You’re watching me too much,” he said softly.
junkook
“You’re worth watching,” Jungkook replied without hesitation.
taehyung
A smirk tugged Taehyung’s lips. “Careful. Say things like that and Jimin will start accusing you of falling for me.”
junkook
“Let him accuse,” Jungkook said, stepping closer. “He’d only be right.”
taehyung
Taehyung turned then, eyes glinting. “You’ve grown bold. Did you wake up this morning deciding to flirt with me?”
junkook
Jungkook’s lips curved faintly. “Maybe I’ve always been like this. Maybe you just didn’t notice.”
For a moment, Taehyung’s smirk faltered, something flickering in his gaze—before he blew smoke between them and laughed low.
taehyung
“Then prove it,” he whispered. “Let’s see how long you can keep that fire alive.”
Jungkook’s jaw tightened. A lifetime. Even beyond death. But instead, he smiled, dark and dangerous.
junkook
“I don’t intend to let it burn out. Not this time.”

Into the shadows
The night smelled of rust and gasoline.
A black van rolled silently to a stop outside the abandoned warehouse. Inside, the Bangtan family was cloaked in blackleather gloves, loaded guns, sharp eyes.
Yoongi spread a map across his lap, voice calm and precise.
yoongi
“Shipment of weapons. Rival gang is using this warehouse to store it before it goes overseas. Our job is to intercept, clean up, and make sure no one walks away alive.”
hoseok
“Straightforward,” He said cheerfully as he twirled a knife between his fingers. “Just how I like it.”
jin
He glanced at him, unimpressed. “Try not to enjoy it too much. We don’t need unnecessary mess.”
hoseok
“Unnecessary mess?” He grinned. “That’s half the fun.”
jimin
He smirked, checking his pistol. “Don’t worry, hyung. I’ll keep him focused. Besides” his gaze flicked to Jungkook “I’m curious to see how our Jungkookie handles himself tonight. You seem different. More… intense.”
junkook
“I’m always intense when it comes to protecting what matters,” Jungkook said, voice low.
taehyung
Taehyung’s brow arched, lips curling faintly. “What matters, hm?”
jimin
Jimin snorted. “Now that sounded like a confession.”
namjoon
“Enough chatter,” he interrupted, sharp but quiet. His gaze swept the group with authority. “Stick to your roles. No mistakes.”
The van doors opened. The night swallowed them whole.
