[Chapter 2: The Snake Bites Back]
Jeon Jungkook
(Jumps over a low fence, lands in alley) Jimin, status?
Park Jimin
(in ear) East part is clear but you’ve got a tail.
Park Jimin
Branded neck... It's Revenant confirmed.
Jeon Jungkook
Taehyung sent him?
Park Jimin
No doubt, I think he’s testing you.
Jeon Jungkook
Good then I love pop quizzes.
Jungkook cuts through the alley, heading into abandoned industrial yards behind Hongdae.
The streetlights are dead here. Perfect.
Jeon Jungkook
How close is he?
Park Jimin
Ten meters but he’s fast
Jeon Jungkook
But not smarter.
Jungkook suddenly vanishes between two buildings. The Revenant agent enters the narrow path.
Revenant Agent
(Whispers) You Serpent pups make this too easy.
Jeon Jungkook
(Behind him) You Revenant mutts bark too soon.
Jeon Jungkook
(wraps an arm around the man’s throat, drags him into shadows)
Revenant Agent
Y-You won’t kill me, Right?
Jeon Jungkook
Oh, I don’t need to kill you.
Jeon Jungkook
Just send you back… bleeding enough that Taehyung gets the message.
Revenant Agent
You’re fucking insane.
Jeon Jungkook
No, I am just tired of being underestimated.
Jungkook slams the man against the wall. Knife slides through the agent's skin and blood draws at the jawline with a precise cut.
Park Jimin
Kook, you sure about this?
Park Jimin
Taehyung might take this as provocation.
Jeon Jungkook
That’s the point.
Jungkook carves a small serpent symbol below the Revenant's ear. Blood drips onto the man’s collar.
Jeon Jungkook
Go home, mutt. Tell your master that the snake doesn’t run. The snake strikes.
Revenant Agent
(Shaking) You just declared war.
Jeon Jungkook
He declared lust and I returned the favor.
Jungkook vanishes into the night. The agent collapses against the alley wall, bleeding but alive.
Taehyung receives a message. A Revenant brings him the agent’s shirt. The blood-stained serpent carved into the cloth.
Min Yoongi
You want me to retaliate (respond)?
Min Yoongi
You’re smiling. That’s not good.
Kim Taehyung
It means he’s more interesting than I expected.
Min Yoongi
He assaulted your man.
Kim Taehyung
No. He seduced him with violence. I respect that.
Kim Taehyung
I want him ruined.
I want him obsessed.
Then I want him mine.
Min Yoongi
You’re not playing chess anymore. You’re hunting.
Kim Taehyung
Correction. I’ve always been hunting.
Taehyung closes the message, eyes cold and gleaming. The Revenant boss stands and walks to the window, gazing into Seoul’s dark skyline.
Kim Taehyung
He gave me a bite. Let’s see how deep he’ll let me cut.

They say the first move in war is to measure your opponent.
But neither of these men measured anything tonight... they tasted.
And once a predator gets a taste… it doesn’t stop.
That alley still smells of blood and the blood still smells like foreplay.
