Velvet Chains(Enigma X Enigma)
Ghost in the System
Enigmas don’t belong. They dominate.
In a world ruled by Alphas and Omegas, Enigmas are whispered about—unpredictable, unclassifiable, unstoppable. There were only two known in the underworld.
One vanished.
The other rose.
The room was silent except for the low hum of machines and the soft clacking of keys. Screens flickered with encrypted data, surveillance feeds, and firewalls being dismantled one by one. Kim Taehyung leaned back in his chair, a chocolate lollipop between his lips, eyes scanning the chaos he’d just unleashed with casual elegance.
Kim Taehyung
Too easy.
(he murmured.)
He had just breached the unbreachable—Erebus Syndicate's primary intel server. It was supposed to be impossible. But impossible had never meant much to the Ghost Cipher.
He extracted a single file before disappearing into digital nothingness.
Kim Taehyung
(Then he smiled.)
Kim Taehyung
Catch me if you can, Lucien.
Across the city, high above the skyline in a sleek tower built like a blade slicing the clouds, Jeon Jungkook’s phone vibrated. He answered without looking, his voice low, emotionless.
?
They breached it.
(the voice on the other end said, shaky.)
Only one file taken… top tier clearance.
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook’s jaw ticked.)
What did he take?
?
(The man hesitated.)
The Black Vault.
Taehyung was already three identities deep by the time the sun set, blending into the noise of the city like smoke. From neon-lit clubs to back alley bazaars, he moved with ease—part shadow, part flame. No one noticed him. That was the point.
But as he reached a quiet rooftop to watch the encrypted file load, a chill crept up his spine. His instincts screamed.
He wasn't alone.
He turned fast—blade already drawn.
A bullet struck the metal edge of the rooftop beside him.
Jeon Jungkook
Missed on purpose.
(came a voice, smooth as sin.)
From the shadows emerged Jeon Jungkook, dressed in black, eyes burning with something dark and unreadable.
Jeon Jungkook
You’ve gotten slower, Ghost.
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung’s grip tightened on his blade, but he smirked.)
You’ve gotten cockier, Lucien.
Jeon Jungkook
I had to evolve. After someone tried to kill me and disappeared for three years.
Kim Taehyung
Still bitter?
( Taehyung raised a brow.)
Didn’t know assassins had feelings.
Jeon Jungkook
You stole from me.
Kim Taehyung
You had it coming.
They stared each other down—an invisible battlefield of tension, history, and hunger crackling between them.
Jeon Jungkook
I want that file.
(Jungkook said flatly.)
Kim Taehyung
I’m sure you do.
(Taehyung purred, taking a step back.)
But you’ll have to catch me first.
He turned sharply to run—only to find another bullet whizzing past his head.
Jeon Jungkook
Next one’s not a warning.
(Jungkook growled.)
Taehyung froze.
For the first time, his pulse skipped.
Jungkook wasn’t bluffing.
Kim Taehyung
You’ve changed.
(Taehyung said finally, lowering his blade.)
Jeon Jungkook
You haven’t.
(Jungkook replied.)
Still reckless. Still beautiful. Still dangerous.
His voice dropped into something quieter. Darker.
Jeon Jungkook
I should kill you.
Kim Taehyung
Then why haven’t you?
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook walked closer until their faces were inches apart.)
Because you’re mine, Taehyung. Always have been.
Taehyung’s breath caught—not in fear. In memory.
And for a moment, he forgot why he ever ran.
But only for a moment.
Because the file still glowed on his device—and what was inside could ruin them both.
He stepped back with a smirk, eyes flicking to Jungkook's lips.
Kim Taehyung
Then come and prove it.
