The red rose
<As the doors open to the grand royal ballroom, Taehyung's eyes immediately scan the room. He sees her - the girl who broke his heart and fueled his obsession. She's even more beautiful than he remembered, dressed in a stunning red gown that hugs her curves perfectly>
Kim Taehyung
There she is....
<He slowly walks over to her, his eyes never leaving hers. The room grows quiet as the powerful men in attendance notice the mafia king approaching the unknown woman. He stops in front of her, his tall, muscular frame towering over her>
Jemisha
Do I know you Mr.?
<A dark, dangerous smile spreads across his face as he looks down at her>
Kim Taehyung
Oh, we know each other quite well, my dear. Or have you forgotten our... history?
<His voice is low and menacing, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger, desire, and a hint of madness>
Jemisha
I don't think I recall you so I don't think our history was that important enough
<His smile widens, but it doesn't reach his eyes. He can feel the anger boiling inside him at her dismissive tone>
Kim Taehyung
Let me refresh your memory then. You might not recall the boy who was madly in love with you in College
Jemisha
Sorry forgive me for my rudeness I have a lot of people to meet and greet so can excuse me please
<He grabs her wrist tightly before she can leave, his fingers digging into her skin>
Kim Taehyung
Not so fast, my dear. I've waited for this moment for years. You can't just dismiss me like that
<His voice is calm, but there's a dangerous edge to it>
Jemisha
I can't dismiss you like this?Then how do I do it can you tell me because I've really got no time to spare on you Mr.....
Kim Taehyung
Mr Kim Taehyung
<He leans in closer, his breath hot against her ear>
Kim Taehyung
And you'll make time for me tonight. Because if you don't...
<He pauses, letting the threat hang in the air>
Kim Taehyung
Let's just say I won't be happy
Jemisha
Who cares whether you'll be happy or not *smiles* the world doesn't revolve around you Mr Kim Taehyung I don't know about others mine definitely doesn't
<She smiles so softly and composed yet full of arrogance just like how she was in College. For five years he has been through hell to reach his position to be the mafia king to be the powerful one yet she again dismissed him like he was nothing in a party full of powerhouses>
<His composure breaks for a moment, his jaw tightening. No one, absolutely no one, has ever spoken to him like this - not even the most powerful political figures in this room. Especially not her>
Kim Taehyung
You haven't changed one bit, have you?
<His voice drops to a deadly whisper>
Jemisha
I don't know have I? What version of me you met in the past?Hmm I recall a silly little boy was it you?The one I told to stay away from me if he wants to stay alive?
<Yes she did she did threaten him before that if he keeps on bothering her one day she'll end up killing him but Taehyung never took it seriously but he did think that she is no ordinary person>
<A dangerous glint enters his eyes as he remembers those words. He leans in even closer, his face inches from hers>
Kim Taehyung
And here I thought you were just being cruel back then. But now...
<He trails off, his voice dropping to a menacing whisper>
Kim Taehyung
I think you really meant it
Jemisha
Hmm so it's time you stop being obsessed over me and stay out of my way
Kim Taehyung
And if I don't?
<He matches her arrogant smile with one equally threatening>
Kim Taehyung
If I refuse to stay out of your way as you so kindly suggested? What will an important agent like you do? Shoot me right here in front of all these people?
Jemisha
Agent? Foolish human you think I am just an agent? Hahaha
<His eyes widen slightly as he realizes the truth behind her words. She's not just an agent - she's something far more powerful and dangerous. He can feel it in his bones. The room seems to grow colder around them>
Kim Taehyung
What are you then?
<He whispers, his voice was barely audible>
Jemisha
Whatever I am if you love your dear life it's better to stay away from me
Kim Taehyung
(it seems you think I am still the college kid Taehyung no my darling I've grown in both power and wealth your threats won't scare me anymore)
<He pulls out a small piece of paper from his pocket and slides it across the table towards her. It reads 'Name it. Money? Power? Anything you want in exchange for one night with you.' He watches her expectantly, his smile growing wider. He thinks he has the upper hand this time>
Jemisha
Why are you so obsessed with me?
<He counters, his gaze never leaving hers. He reaches out and tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his touch gentle despite the dangerous aura surrounding him>
Kim Taehyung
You're the one who got away. The only woman who ever rejected me, who ever dared to threaten me
<He recalls the first time he met her College. His expressions grow dark and dangerous>
Kim Taehyung
I've never forgotten that day. The way you looked at me with such disdain, the way you threatened to kill me if I ever came near you again. It only made me want you more
