Velvet Ink (Taekook) Fiction Bound

EP. 1

Two young boys were sitting in a cozy café talking about random things when, one exclaimed, sipping on caramel macchiatos.

Park Jimin (Idol/Jk bestfriend)

“Man, your dad is incredible! I can’t believe how popular his manga is!”

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

“Yeah, incredible... if you ignore the exaggerated parts."

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

*He replied rolling his eyes playfully.* “I mean, come on! Does a Character really need to be that perfect?”

Park Jimin (Idol/Jk bestfriend)

*Jimin insisted, his eyes sparkling with excitement.* “Just a character? Dude, he’s like every fan’s dream! So cool and mysterious! How can you not love him?”

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

“Honestly? Because my dad makes him sound unreal" *Jungkook admitted, shaking his head.*

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

“It’s like he is a GOD? Bro wake up to reality, he is just fiction. A bunch of colorful strokes drawn on ipad"

Park Jimin (Idol/Jk bestfriend)

*Jimin argued.* “Right? But that’s what makes him so appealing!”

Park Jimin (Idol/Jk bestfriend)

“You know despite being a fictional character, he is millions of girl's even boy's crush. You should try to appreciate it more!”

JEON JUNGKOOK, a cute, sweet and kind-hearted man with devilish beauty but angelic voice. He is a world-famous idol and pop star. His fan following far exceeds over millions. He is every girl's ideal boyfriend. PARK JIMIN, Jungkook's best friend and fellow artist. They both are together since kindergarten and know about each other as back of their hands. Jimin is also widely popular as he is completely opposite of Jungkook, angelic beauty and charming voice. He likes to read fictional novels and webtoons. His current favorite webtoon is Jungkook's father's ongoing work.

Jungkook's father, Jeon Namjoon, a renowned cartoonist, whose comics and stories are widely popular. His current ongoing work "Empire of Shadows," had captivated readers around the globe. The series featured a charismatic protagonist, KIM TAEHYUNG, who was depicted as an epitome of power and intrigue—a billionaire with connections in both the glitzy white-collar world and the shadowy underbelly of society.

Despite his father's fame, Jungkook preferred to carve his own path as a singer and performer. He found joy in creating his own narrative through music rather than the pages of a comic.

One evening, as the stars twinkled against the sky, Jungkook sank into the plush sofa of his living room, a newly launched copy of "Empire of Shadows" resting in his lap. The pages, filled with breathtaking illustrations, felt familiar yet distant from what he believed.

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

“Sometimes I wish I could just step into one of his stories—just to see how it feels" *he mused aloud.*

Park Jimin (Idol/Jk bestfriend)

*Jimin joked, laughter sparkling in his eyes.* “Maybe you will! Then you can tell Taehyung himself that he’s overrated"

As fatigue crept in, Jungkook’s eyelids grew heavy, and he succumbed to sleep, blissfully.

In the depths of his slumber, Jungkook found himself in a magnificent bedroom, adorned with luxurious furnishings and intricate decor. A dangerous combination of black and gray. Confusion washed over him as he surveyed his surroundings.

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

“Where am I?” *he whispered, confusion etched over his face.*

Before he could gather his thoughts, the door swung open, and in strode a tall figure. Jungkook was startled seeing such striking appearance for the first time in life. He kept staring at the man until that man's smooth, velvety voice echoed in the room.

Kim Taehyung (Comic ML)

*He demanded, his voice low and intimidating.* “Who are you, and what are you doing in my room?”

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

*His tone somewhat angry and filled with disbelief* "Excuse me? Are you living under the rock? How can you not know the great Jeon Jungkook?"

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

"And who are you? Why am I here? You must have kidnapped me, right?"

Kim Taehyung (Comic ML)

*Taehyung’s piercing gaze studied him, skepticism etched across his face.* "Are you thinking too high of yourself pretty boy."

Before Jungkook can reply, Taehyung took out gun from his side, pointing directly at Jungkook.

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

*His eyes widened in fear, voice stuttering* "Look Mr k...kidnapper. I don't know anything, I'm innocent. Please leave me."

Kim Taehyung (Comic ML)

*he raised his eyebrows in amusement* "If you don't want me to shoot you, start speaking... Who are you?"

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

*Nervously* " I...I'm Jeon Jungkook. You must have surely seen me in TV or magazines."

Kim Taehyung (Comic ML)

*His expressions still uninterested* "So you are not going to speak?"

Seeing Jungkook so uncooperative, Taehyung ordered his assistant to run a background check on Jungkook.

Taehyung quietly sat on couch in front of bed, where Jungkook is sitting quietly. His fingers playing with gun, pointing time to time at Jungkook. Making the later squeal from fear.

Few minutes later ㅡ

Min Yoongi (Taehyung's assistant)

"Sir, we couldn't find anything about him."

Kim Taehyung (Comic ML)

*His eyes narrowed slightly* "What do you mean?"

Min Yoongi (Taehyung's assistant)

*Nervously* "There's n...no such person exist in this world. We even run DNA fingerprinting, but there are no records on him."

Kim Taehyung (Comic ML)

*His lips curled up, a smirk forming on his lips* "Are you an assassin? But... you look like someone, who'll faint at the sight of blood."

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

*Eyes widened in fear* "I'm not... I'm just a regular citizen."

Jungkook was so angry by this unknown man. He wanted to throw a punch at him. But he was also scared of gun in Taehyung's hands. He kept staring at Taehyung when something clicked his mind. His eyes become even bigger in surprise.

Jeon Jungkook (Idol/Singer)

*His eyes fixed on other's handsome face. He somewhat recognized this perfectly handsome face* "K...Kim Taehyung?"

Jungkook was in disbelief when he finds the person in front of him is the very same character that he criticize every time. He came to understand that, it's not that Taehyung came out of comic. It's him, who somehow went inside the comic.

Kim Taehyung (Comic ML)

*He was getting impatient seeing Jungkook froze on his spot, ordered his men* "Lock this boy in basement."

Despite his protest, Jungkook was dragged by Taehyung's men towards basement and locked inside. He kept shouting for quite some time. After few minutes, his voice disappear automatically. When guards checked, there was no one there in basement.
