Crimson Bite: Taekook’S Game
Chapter 2: My Ring, His Cage
One Week Later | Jeon Estate | Private Office
The engagement was official.
The photos were everywhere.
The media called us “the mafia Romeo and Juliet.”
Cute.
They didn’t know Romeo had a body count.
I sat across from Jungkook in his office. Hishands were folded on the desk like a CEO, not a killer. The air between us was cold steel.
There were cameras in every corner.
He wasn’t trying to protect himself.
He was trying to watch me.
Kim Taeyung (mc)/V
So this is where you run your little empire?
Bit boring, no?*casually lighting a cigarette*
Jeon Jungkook (ml) /Jk
You’re not allowed to smoke in here.*not looking up*
Kim Taeyung (mc)/V
Guess I’m not allowed to do a lot of things.
Too bad I don’t care.*blowing smoke *
His eyes flicked up at that.
For a second, just a second, there was something… unhinged.
Jeon Jungkook (ml) /Jk
What are you trying to prove?*voice low*
Kim Taeyung (mc)/V
That this marriage won’t tame me.
That I’m not your pet, Jungkook.
Not your wife. Not your doll.
You want loyalty? Get a dog.
Jeon Jungkook (ml) /Jk
Loyalty isn’t the problem.
Obedience is.*cold smile*
He gets up, slowly walks around the desk
He moved like a shadow. No sound. No fear.
When he stopped in front of me, the air got heavier. My pulse didn't rise.
But I could feel his breath.
Jeon Jungkook (ml) /Jk
Do you know what this ring means?*softly*
Kim Taeyung (mc)/V
A prison.
That sparkles.
Jeon Jungkook (ml) /Jk
Wrong.
It means you belong to me now.
In every way.
He took my hand. Slid the ring on. Tight.
It fit perfectly.
Of course it did.
Everything about this was designed.
The press. The timing. Even this ring.
Kim Taeyung (mc)/V
If I belong to you...
what happens when you can’t control me?*pulling Jungkook closer by the tie*
Jeon Jungkook (ml) /Jk
Then I’ll destroy you.
Lovingly.*nose brushing his*
I kissed him. Not because I wanted to. But because it made him angrier.
His hands clenched.
His lips didn’t move.
He let me kiss him like it meant nothing.
Kim Taeyung (mc)/V
You think I’m here to love you?
I’m here to ruin you.*whispering against his mouth*
Jeon Jungkook (ml) /Jk
Try me.*calmly*
Kim Namjoon/Rm
Sorry to interrupt.
But the elders are waiting. The blood contract needs to be signed tonight.*from the hallway*
Jungkook let go of my hand
No more ring talk.
No more cage.
But the fire between us?
Still burning.
Jeon Jungkook (ml) /Jk
Wear something black.
It suits you.*walking away*
Kim Taeyung (mc)/V
You’ll be wearing bruises by midnight*leaning back, smirking*
And so the engagement continued
And under the eyes of enemies waiting to see
Neither of us would fall.
