4 - DADDY ISSUES
The morning sun cast a soft glow through the expansive windows of Taehyung's mansion, gently illuminating the luxurious interiors. As the new day dawned, the atmosphere inside the mansion was calm and serene, but an ominous undercurrent lurked beneath the surface.
Taehyung, always an early riser, stood by one of the windows, looking out at the sprawling estate that now belonged to him. His poker face, as usual, gave nothing away, but his mind was always calculating, always thinking of the next move.
Jin emerged from his room, looking as elegant as ever, and joined Taehyung by the window.
Taehyung turned to face Jin, his expression carefully neutral, and replied with a simple,
Despite the tension of the previous night, there was a silent understanding between the brothers. They had been through so much together, and their bond was unbreakable, even in the face of their dark past.
Taehyung
Hyung, you won't believe who invited me today, Kim fucking Jaewon! He wants me to come to his party for the opening of his casino.
Taehyung said, with a hint of bitterness.
Seokjin
You're going to that party? After everything he's done?
Taehyung
And you know what's funnier, he's opening that casino on my fucking land! What a feeble attempt to mock me.
He chuckled, his tone darkening.
Seokjin
Taehyung, are you out of your mind? That man is dangerous, and he's trying to provoke you!
Jin's concern was evident.
Taehyung
Come on, hyung, you know right, dad will get angry if we don't go. How can I say no when this is the first time in life he invited me for something?
Taehyung said playfully, showing his psychotic personality.
Seokjin
He's trying to provoke you, Taehyung. If you go to that damn party, you're giving him what he wants.
Taehyung
Don't worry, hyung. This will be the last time he messes with us. Seems like I have left him free for so long. I tried to give him a chance, but... What can we do now? He made his choice, and I am going to make sure he gets his karma. This is going to be fun.
Taehyung's sinister smile sent shivers down Jin's spine.
Jin, perplexed by Taehyung's decision, knew something was brewing in Taehyung's mind, something big and sinister that he intended to unleash upon his father.
But Jin also knew what Kim Jaewon was capable of.
As Jin left the room, Taehyung was left alone with his thoughts. The invitation brought back memories of his haunting past, of a vile and ruthless father who had treated him like trash after his mother's death. The scars from those days ran deep, and they had shaped him into the cold and emotionless man he was today.
Taehyung's father, a man of twisted ambitions, had once treated him as nothing more than a pawn in his cruel game. After the death of Taehyung's mother, he had sunk to new lows, selling his own son to his despicable business associates for profit. The memories of those dark days were etched in Taehyung's mind like scars that never faded.
Taehyung's mind was a labyrinth of plans and strategies, all geared towards a dark reckoning with his past. He knew that his father's deliberate act of mockery with the casino was a chance to show him just how far he had come and how much he had grown in power.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the time for the casino opening drew near. Taehyung stood before a full-length mirror, impeccably dressed in a sharp suit that exuded power and authority. His poker face remained intact, but beneath the surface, a storm of emotions churned.
Jin observed Taehyung from a distance, a mix of concern and admiration stirring within him. He had witnessed Taehyung face countless challenges with unwavering determination, but this was different. The memories of their painful past were resurfacing, and Taehyung's resolve to confront his father was evident.
As the hour approached, Taehyung's family, including Jin and Yohan, gathered at the entrance of the mansion. The air was tense, and the anticipation was palpable. Taehyung's unpredictable nature kept everyone on edge, but they knew better than to question his motives. His mind was a fortress of secrets, and only he knew the full extent of his plans.
As they stepped into the extravagant casino, Taehyung's presence alone commanded attention. The crowd parted, and whispers filled the air as they recognized the formidable mafia head.
Jaewon
Taehyung, my boy, you actually came.
Taehyung's father, Kim Jaewon, said nervously.
Taehyung
I'm here to witness your grand opening, father.
The exchange between father and son was laden with tension. Jin and Yohan stood by Taehyung's side, their gazes unwavering, ready to support him in whatever lay ahead.
The night unfolded with extravagant displays of wealth and indulgence, but amidst the festivities, Taehyung's eyes never wavered from his father. He had planned this encounter meticulously, and his actions would soon unveil the hidden truth behind his enigmatic façade.
As the evening progressed, Taehyung's cold demeanor remained intact, but beneath the surface, a storm was brewing. The reckoning he had prepared for so long was about to unfold, and the world would soon bear witness to the true power and darkness that lay within Taehyung.
Jin could only watch his brother's plans unfold, aware there was no turning back. Taehyung's unpredictable nature was a double-edged sword, capable of both destruction and redemption.
The night wore on, and the casino buzzed with life, but Taehyung's gaze never wavered from his father. The memories of the past lingered, but in this moment, Taehyung was a force to be reckoned with.
As the night drew to a close, the tension reached its peak. Taehyung's father, now visibly unnerved, attempted to make small talk, but Taehyung's response was curt and unyielding.
Taehyung
Your casino is impressive, father. I hope you enjoy it while it lasts.
With those ominous words, Taehyung turned and walked away, leaving his father in a state of uncertainty. The night had been a mere prelude to the storm that Taehyung had planned, and the world would soon learn that he was a force that could not be underestimated.
Seokjin
Whatever you're planning, Taehyung, I hope you know what you're doing.
Jin whispered to himself.
The night had set the stage for a dark reckoning, and the truth behind Taehyung's enigmatic façade would soon begin to unravel, leaving a trail of consequences in its wake. The world would soon witness the full extent of Taehyung's power and the depths of his darkness.
The grand opening of the casino was in full swing, the opulent halls filled with guests from all walks of life. The air buzzed with excitement and anticipation as Kim Jaewon, Taehyung's father, took the stage to address the crowd. Spotlights illuminated him, casting an eerie glow on his face as he stood tall and confident, relishing the attention.
Jaewon
Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests.
Kim Jaewon began, his voice projecting with authority.
Jaewon
Tonight marks the beginning of a new era as we open the doors to this magnificent casino, a testament to my success and ambition.
The crowd erupted into applause, and Kim Jaewon soaked in the admiration, reveling in the spotlight. His eyes scanned the audience, but in the back of his mind, he couldn't shake the unease that came with the knowledge of Taehyung's presence.
Jaewon
As I stand before you tonight, I can't help but be reminded of my two sons.
Kim Jaewon continued, his tone taking on a hint of pride.
Jaewon
Jin and Taehyung, both have grown into fine men, each choosing their own path in life.
The mention of Taehyung's name sent a shiver down Jin's spine, who was standing at a distance, watching the scene unfold. Taehyung's expression remained unreadable, but Jin knew that beneath that poker face, a storm was brewing.
Jaewon
I am honoured to have them here tonight. They have come to witness the success of their father's empire.
Kim Jaewon said, his voice oozing with false sincerity.
The mention of Taehyung and Jin brought a mix of emotions in the audience. Some looked on with admiration, while others with curiosity, aware of the complicated history between father and sons.
Jaewon
And now, as we raise our glasses in celebration, I propose a toast.
Kim Jaewon declared, raising a crystal glass in his hand.
Jaewon
To prosperity, to power, and to the future of this casino!
The crowd cheered, raising their glasses in unison, but Taehyung's response was measured. He lifted his glass, but his eyes remained fixed on his father, a calculating gleam in his gaze.
As the toast concluded, the tension in the room was palpable. Taehyung's father had played his part, basking in the glory of the moment, but he remained oblivious to the dark reckoning that Taehyung had prepared.
Taehyung's lips curved into a sinister smirk as he leaned closer to Jin, his voice a low, ominous whisper.
Taehyung
Just wait for the surprise, hyung.
He said, a glint of excitement in his eyes.
Taehyung stepped away from Jin and turned his attention back to the stage where his father was still basking in the spotlight. The room buzzed with chatter and laughter, oblivious to the storm that was about to descend upon them.
Over the loudspeakers, Taehyung's voice boomed, commanding the attention of everyone in the room.
Taehyung
Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests.
He announced, his tone filled with authority that demanded respect.
Taehyung
I have a special surprise for you all tonight.
The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Taehyung. Jin's heart pounded in his chest, and a mix of curiosity and apprehension washed over him. He knew his brother well enough to understand that Taehyung's surprises were never to be taken lightly.
Taehyung
Since my father has been kind enough to mention my presence here tonight.
Taehyung continued, his voice tinged with sarcasm.
Taehyung
I thought it's only fair that I return the favor.
As the countdown began, a sense of anticipation filled the room. Taehyung's father, still standing on the stage, looked perplexed, unaware of what was about to unfold.
Taehyung
Ten... nine... eight... seven...
Taehyung's voice echoed through the halls, and the tension in the air was palpable.
Jin watched his brother with a mixture of awe and concern. Taehyung's enigmatic nature had always intrigued him, but in moments like these, he couldn't help but wonder what dark plans Taehyung had in store.
Taehyung
Three... two... one...
The countdown reached its climax, and at the stroke of midnight, the room plunged into darkness. The lights flickered and then went out completely, leaving the guests in stunned silence.
Suddenly, a deafening roar shook the ground, followed by the blaring of alarms. Emergency lights illuminated the room, revealing the chaos that had erupted. Smoke billowed from various corners, and panic spread like wildfire.
Amidst the confusion, Taehyung's voice rang out once again, this time through the speakers.
Taehyung
Welcome to the grand opening of my surprise.
He said, his tone dripping with satisfaction.
And boom! Acid starts falling right above on Kim Daewon's head, people in the crowd could only hear his screams for a few seconds as they watch the gore scene in front of their eyes unfold. Daewon's body melted straight away leaving only bones behind.
Jin's shock was evident, and though he never expected Taehyung to take such an extreme step, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of satisfaction. After all, their father deserved far worse than this.
But it was Yohan, Taehyung's adopted son, who stood in the corner with a wicked grin, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. To him, it was a moment of pride, seeing his father brutally kill the man who had once treated him so cruelly.
Taehyung stepped forward, his eyes scanning the room, locking gazes with everyone present. The weight of his words hung heavy in the air, and a hushed silence fell over the gathering.
Taehyung
Tonight, you have witnessed what happens when someone crosses me. My father, who once thought he could control and break me, his corpse stands here now, drenched in the same contempt he once showed me. This casino, built on the grounds of my suffering, will serve as a reminder that I am not a man to be trifled with.
Taehyung says with a chilling edge to his voice.
His words were measured and precise, carrying an unmistakable air of authority. Taehyung had transformed from a fragile and mistreated boy into a formidable force, and his power was undeniable.
Taehyung
I have risen from the depths of darkness, forged in the fires of betrayal and pain. I have clawed my way to the top, and now, I reign as the most powerful and dangerous man in the world. Those who dare to challenge me will meet a fate far worse than a bucket of acid.
His gaze intensified, sending a shiver down the spines of those who met his eyes. Taehyung's reputation preceded him, and now, they were witnessing firsthand the consequences of defying him.
Taehyung
Let this be a lesson to all who underestimate me. I am a man of vengeance and retribution, and my wrath knows no bounds. This casino stands as a testament to my resilience and determination. From this moment forth, you will all know that I am not a man to be crossed.
With those final words, Taehyung's declaration of power hung in the air, leaving a lingering sense of fear and awe. The gathering, once filled with excitement and revelry, had now become a stage for Taehyung's dark proclamation.
As the night wore on, the guests were left to contemplate the consequences of crossing paths with the cold and ruthless mafia head. Taehyung's calculated move had sent a clear message, one that would reverberate through the corridors of power and influence.
The grand opening of the casino had transformed into a showcase of Taehyung's strength and brutality. The world had seen the darkness that lay within him, and they would not soon forget the consequences of challenging him.
And as the night came to a close, Taehyung's enigmatic persona remained intact, leaving everyone in the room to ponder what other surprises he had in store for those who dared to stand against him. The storm he had unleashed that night was only the beginning, and the world would soon learn that Taehyung was a force that could not be tamed.
