Taekook: Guns And Roses Lotus of Euphoria!

A servant got two cups of coffee in the director min’s office.. when the servant was gone, yoongi removed his pack of cigarette, and fetched out one of the white stick.. he placed it in between his lips and took a sharp inhale..

All this while governor Seo Joon scoffed at the director since he was a non smoker and felt he will die sooner then expected

Seo Joon

Do you have any respect for the governor of euphoria?

Seo Joon glared at the director whom he hired a year ago.. yoongi looked unfazed and rolled his eyes

Min Yoongi

Speak up governor.. we don’t have the whole day.. If it wasn’t about Kim taehyung, I would be wasting my time punching a criminal..

Yoongi spoke like his true self.. it was probably one of the biggest achievement of Seo Joon to hire the director who wasn’t easily threatened neither could be bought with richness.. Yoongi had his own way of working, and the whole department fears him

Seo Joon sighed and then began to speak

Seo Joon

As the world is already aware that euphoria is a haven for mafias.. no where in the world a mafia is free except euphoria

Seo Joon

Over here, everything that is illegal in the world, is allowed in euphoria.. that’s why, you will find more mafias in euphoria then anywhere in South Korea or in other parts of the world

Seo Joon

But euphoria wasn’t a mafia haven in the start..

Seo Joon

The war between South Korea and North Korea Is the first beginning of mafias little world in euphoria

Seo Joon

It began in 1914, during the First World War..

Seo Joon

While the world fought for power and freedom in various continent..

Seo Joon

Euphoria was entangled between a feud of South Korea and North Korea

Seo Joon

Since euphoria didn’t want to be part of North Korea because they dint like their ideologies.. and felt will be trapped into a more backward society..

Seo Joon

The citizens of euphoria in those days decided to be part of South Korea..

Seo Joon

But there was a constant war between the south and north.. the will to show power and capture as many lands was heavy and many people lost their lives

Seo Joon

Since euphoria is the nearest to the north.. after the citizens here decided to be part of south, they used our lands to attack the north..

Seo Joon

Those wars led to great feminine.. great poverty in euphoria

Seo Joon

After few years, when finally south and north gave up and made a truce to stay within their borders..

Seo Joon

The damage in euphoria was already done

Seo Joon

We became infertile

Seo Joon

The aftermath of the war, led to great chemical reactions on the soil of euphoria.. which meant, we couldn’t grow any vegetation on our land.. people had no means to survive.. what would they grow, what would they eat, how will they earn.. our land just couldn’t grow any crops and farmers were left jobless..

Seo Joon

This led to many suicides by the farmers and many families leaving their homes to reside in other parts of South Korea

Seo Joon

But not everyone wanted to leave their birth place..

Seo Joon

One of them was Kim Dongson, the great grandfather of Kim Taehyung..his parents died in the war.. he was simple lone boy.. but that’s what made Dongson unique

Seo Joon

Joining the Kims were many other traditional families like mine, and others who are still part of Kim Taehyung’s empire right now..

Seo Joon

The South Korea government in olden times would send some food and water to our land.. but since the war took heavy toll in the whole country, those food and water were barely sufficient to keep the whole of euphoria’s survival.. our forefathers and families only had minimum water, a bowl of rice, a bowl of kimchi to survive per day.. the whole country was suffering… those days were really filled with hunger and pain

Seo Joon

That’s when Kim dongson came into picture.. he was only 20 years old back then but filled with hot blood and sharpness.. he was an orphaned now and had no one to depend upon.. so he invested his whole self in thriving euphoria

Seo Joon

Dongson wasn’t a normal young man.. he had more hunger to bring prosperity then anyone of our grandfathers.. while people were starting to give up.. Dongson marched on a mission to find one great thing that could help euphoria survive

Seo Joon

Dongson believed that even a lotus can grow in the muddy land.. hence, he went on the search for finding that lotus in the barren land of euphoria

Seo Joon

After few years of struggle.. Dongson found exactly what would set the path of mafias in euphoria

Seo Joon

He found coal mines

Seo Joon

The mountains of euphoria were blessed with coal mines

Seo Joon

Dongson personally embarked on digging these mines.. he persuaded everyone to join him.. his great plan was to sell these coals.. the people of euphoria suddenly found that much-needed hope

Seo Joon

Every coal they mined.. they started to sell it to the government.. since the war brought in Great Depression and scarcity in the whole country.. the government needed coals for running energy in the country.. euphoria had it in abundance and hence they bought those coals from Dongson..

Seo Joon

The lands of coal mines were without owners.. Dongson found them and claimed them all.. in a matter of a month or two, Dongson became the rich royal in euphoria.. people worked under him.. but Dongson didn’t like to be the ruler so instead he worked in the mine too alongside the people

Seo Joon

The money coming from the government from selling coal, helped euphoria survive.. Dongson changed the pattern of livelihood.. he started to deal with other neighbouring countries like China, Japan for basic vegetation.. he started to buy chemical fertilisers to bring back euphoria’s land to fertility.. he even sold coals to them as well, since they also faces a brutal loss from the Second World War..

Seo Joon

It took few years.. but euphoria was now much better than the wartime.. our homes were better, we had street market, we had new works to survive and Dongson was our grandfather

Seo Joon

He was just 30 years old when he achieved all of this.. people here worshiped him greatly..

Seo Joon

But as time passed.. Dongson’ life was only going to change for better.. among these coal mines, deep in the tunnels of darkness.. Dongson found another gem..he found the lotus of this muddy land..

Seo Joon

Euphorian coal mines were simply a gate guarding these gems.. but Dongson found them..

Min Yoongi

What was the gem?

Yoongi spoke seriously.. he was intrigued by the struggle of euphoria

Seo Joon

Pink diamonds

Yoongi’s eyes widened..

Seo Joon

Pink particles of stone.. that’s what was hidden under the depth of these mines..

Seo Joon

Dongson had another great plan

Seo Joon

He used those pink coals to shape diamonds

Seo Joon

I remember my father telling me.. that Dongson was crazy, worked in the mines day and night to shape the diamonds.. my grandfather was his great supporter so Dongson had shared about the diamonds only to few trusted allies

Seo Joon

Dongson decided to sell these diamonds to other countries.. we suddenly excelled in gems and jewellery segment.. Dongson opened his own jewellery shops to carve new ornaments and sell them..

Seo Joon

He smuggled some of these diamonds to other countries.. since if South Korea government would find about the diamonds, they will try to claim it as well.. and selling these diamonds to South Korea government wasn’t that profitable then selling it to other countries like Russia, Germany, US, Middle East..

Seo Joon

The government when found about these diamonds.. they tried to claim it.. they even sent soldiers to terrify us..

Seo Joon

But Dongson wasn’t going to have any of it..

Seo Joon

He formed his own army.. ready to fight for him.. you see, Dongson showed people they could survive on their own.. and he ensured to bring forth the means of survival..

Seo Joon

And he achieved them.. people listened to Dongson more then the government or anyone as a matter of fact..

Seo Joon

Euphoria was rich by the time of 1950s, and all thanks to Dongson..

Seo Joon

We had end number of orders for the pink diamond.. it’s value was greater then normal diamonds because of its unique presence.. all the coloured diamonds were made in the world, but euphoria gave birth to pink diamonds without any added chemicals..

Seo Joon

It was as pure as white diamond..

Seo Joon

So you can imagine how euphoria was thriving under the leadership of Dongson..

Seo Joon

The South Korean government was angry at their work.. they wanted to hold those diamonds for themselves and sell it to other countries for having a trading treaty..

Seo Joon

But that didn’t happen.. so Dongson was declared as a criminal by the South Korea government.. but did Dongson stop, never

Seo Joon

Euphoria distinguished itself and soon held a great power.. the South Korea government dared not anger Dongson in the coming years.. dongson’s people would kill anyone who tried to harm their leader.. South Korea government eventually decided to be one of the customers of euphoria.. Dongson struck a deal with them, in return of full independency, he offered to pay taxes and sell diamonds at a much cheaper rate to South Korea then any other country.. and the government finally agreed

Seo Joon

When the feud with government got over..

Seo Joon

The time only fly by with Dongson earning a great name

Seo Joon

He was called as the father of pink diamonds by many countries

Seo Joon

By the time Dongson turned 40, euphoria was established.. we had vegetation, power and money..

Seo Joon

Now euphoria wasn’t worried about hunger and poverty..

Seo Joon

Now euphoria worried about building a great future

Seo Joon

Dongson being the top of the pyramid.. once euphoria was in better shape, Dongson married at the age of 45, his wife was 15 years younger to him.. but it was love at first sight, so the girl didn’t care about the age gap between them..

Seo Joon

They had their first son after two years of marriage.. Kim Hyungnim, father of Kim Taehyung.. they had their second son, Kim Jaebum few years later

Seo Joon

With a family now depending upon him.. dongson’s focus was divided

Seo Joon

But as they say.. with time, not everyone is okay with following orders and staying under someone.. euphoria, whom Dongson saved once was not in need of saving anymore.. some people of euphoria got selfish and wanted to be owners of that diamond.. many formed their own gangs to kill Dongson to rule the land

Seo Joon

But Dongson’s focus was only divided between family and work.. doesn’t mean, Dongson wasn’t capable at all

Seo Joon

Dongson killed anyone who tried to harm his empire..

Seo Joon

But you see, the hunger for power never dies..

Seo Joon

If one human dies, doesn’t mean the hunger dies..

Seo Joon

There is always someone else wanting to gain power

Seo Joon

And that’s how euphoria became a haven, a heaven for Mafias.. many travelled from other regions to join small gangs to fight Dongson..

Seo Joon

1975, a gang managed to kill 74 year old Dongson..

Seo Joon

But his legacy was already transferred to his eldest son..

Seo Joon

Hyungnim was different then his father..

Seo Joon

He was more calm, patient and cunning in his ideas

Seo Joon

So Hyungnim in pain of his father’s death.. brought a new rule

Seo Joon

He destroyed all the mines having pink particles.. and build his empire, his great mansion on top of these mines

Seo Joon

Hyungnim kept only three pieces of pink diamond out in the world.. just three, not more not less.. his empire was already now the foundation stone for the pink coal mines underneath.. they didn’t need to sell pink diamonds for survival by this time.. the Kim’s had a jewellery business, they had black coals, they developed weapons, chemical bombs, they had drug making factories in other regions like Russia, Utah and Mexico.. they didn’t need the diamonds to survive, so Hyungnim made it a price..

Seo Joon

A 22 year old Hyungnim declared in 1978.. anyone who rules these three pink diamonds.. will be the ruler of euphoria, will be the ruler of mafia world.. will run the mansion..

Seo Joon

He openly challenged to all the other mafias to try and bring him down..

Seo Joon

Many years passed.. the mafias under kim Hyungnim became the strongest.. the face of mafia world in South Korea..

Seo Joon

Everyone feared them..

Seo Joon

Majority of the lands in euphoria belongs to the Kim’s.. schools, hospitals, even this police department

Seo Joon

Many gangs have tried and vanished from the face of earth.. and Hyungnim continued to rule the mafias notoriously

Seo Joon

In 1988, he got married and his first son was born in 1989, Kim Taehyung..

Seo Joon

Years have passed, the Kim’s still hold the pink diamonds..

Seo Joon

It became a tradition for the mafias that the pink diamond was their way to rule.. and the one who owns it will be the ruler.. but to own these diamonds you will have to kill their first owners.. and Kim’s have managed to still rule.. no one is yet born to end their regime

Min Yoongi

When did Taehyung came into power..

Min Yoongi

I read about the pink diamonds being the key for ruling mafia world.. I had no idea that Hyungnim brought that rule.. wasn’t it stupid though, keeping three diamonds as the rule to ownership

Seo Joon sighed

Seo Joon

The Kim’s have been fighting their entire lives..

Seo Joon

There wasn’t a need for what’s right or wrong..

Seo Joon

Hyungnim wanted to give opportunity to others.. but doesn’t mean, he was going to sit on the sidelines and wait for his death so others can rule his father’s work and prosperity in euphoria

Seo Joon

Hyungnim didn’t go without a fight..

Seo Joon

It was only 10 years ago.. when taehyung was only seventeen when his father was killed on his birthday..

Seo Joon

It was an attack from someone inside..

Seo Joon

One of their own betrayed them. Killed Hyungnim for power

Seo Joon

But Hyungnim had already transferred his possession.. the three diamonds to his elder son Taehyung

Seo Joon

Taehyung is the youngest ruler of Kim mafias and the whole of mafia world in euphoria and South Korea
