Chapter 1 — The Announcement
The Kim mansion gleams under golden light. Champagne glasses clink, laughter echoes, and the scent of expensive perfume drifts through the air.
The elite of Seoul are gathered, powerful families, investors, old money all here for one reason: Kim Namjoon’s announcement.
In one corner, Taehyung lounges like he owns the world. His suit is made with black silk, perfectly tailored and a diamond glints at his wrist.
His friends crowd around, laughing too loudly, drinking too much.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
(raising a glass) Taehyung, your old man’s finally tying the knot, huh?
Yeonjun (thv bff)
Didn’t think the great Kim Namjoon had time for romance.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smirks, swirling his drink lazily) Love’s just another kind of deal, Yeonjun.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
The only difference is, you can’t walk away when the profit turns to loss.
Haneul (thv bff)
(laughing) Spoken like a true businessman. You sound just like your father.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(grins) Let’s hope not. My father still believes in happy endings. I prefer the thrill before the ending ruins it.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
That’s dark.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(takes a slow sip) It’s honest.
A few girls and mens from another circle glance at him, whispering.
Taehyung’s smirk deepens because he doesn’t need to try; attention simply finds him.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(looks like sin sculpted in a suit who is dangerous, magnetic, untouchable)
Haneul (thv bff)
So, who’s the lucky man?
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(mock surprise) Didn’t you hear? My father’s marrying someone who used to make him write love letters in college. Romantic, isn’t it?
Yeonjun (thv bff)
Wait—what? That’s the announcement tonight?
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(leans back, voice edged with sarcasm) Apparently, yes. The almighty Kim Namjoon is officially off the market. Again.
The room quiets as Namjoon and Seokjin step to the center stage.
Seokjin looks modest, graceful, his presence soft compared to the opulent chaos around him.
Kim Namjoon
(clears throat) Everyone, thank you for coming tonight. This isn’t a corporate event or a business gala. It’s something far more personal.
Jeon Seokjin
(smiling nervously) We wanted to share that we’re getting married.
A murmur ripples through the crowd. Cameras flash. Taehyung’s friends glance at him immediately.
Haneul (thv bff)
(whispering) That’s him? The one your dad’s marrying?
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(eyes narrowing slightly) Seems so.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(pushes himself off the couch, finishing his drink in one swallow)
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(moves toward the stage, slowly clapping) Touching. Really touching, I didn’t know my father was still capable of surprise.
Kim Namjoon
(sighs) Taehyung, please—
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(tilts his head) What? I’m congratulating you.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(to the guests) Don’t you all think it’s beautiful? College lovers reuniting after decades like a tragic drama with too much money in it.
A few chuckles echo nervously in the room.
Kim Namjoon
(jaw tightens)
Seokjin looks uncomfortable, his hand trembling slightly until a calm, deep voice speaks behind him.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(stepping forward) I think it’s beautiful too. Not everyone gets a second chance.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(gaze shifts)
Jungkook stands there with simple black suit, no designer label, but he wears it like armor and his eyes are dark, sharp, unafraid.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
And who are you supposed to be? The moral police?
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
Jeon Jungkook. Seokjin’s son.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smile sharpens) Of course you are.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(steps closer) I get that this might not sit well with you but at least try to be decent about it.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(laughs quietly) Decent? That’s cute. You think manners belong in my vocabulary?
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(unshaken) They should, especially for someone who wants to be taken seriously outside of his father’s shadow.
The room holds its breath.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(grins, eyes glinting like a blade) You’ve got some nerve, angel. I like that.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(voice cold) Don’t call me that.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(leans closer, voice dropping) I call people what I want and right now, I want to call you that, because you look too pure for this mess.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
Makes me wonder how long before the world dirties you up.
Kim Namjoon
Taehyung, enough.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(still staring at Jungkook) What? I’m just welcoming my new family.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(steady) You don’t have to pretend. I’m not here to be liked by you.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smirks) Oh, I don’t pretend. I do what I feel and right now, I feel entertained.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
(half-whispering to Haneul) He’s going to eat that poor guy alive.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(turns his head slightly, still looking at Jungkook)
Kim Taehyung (thv)
You’ll find I’m not that easy to ignore, sweetheart. Remember that.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(quietly, eyes locked on his) I wasn’t planning to.
For a moment, neither of them looks away.

Chapter 2 — The Announcement (Extended)
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱)
Kim Namjoon
(Firmly) Taehyung, I’ve told you about Jin. You knew this was coming.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(arches a brow, lips curling into a smirk) Oh, I knew.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
I just didn’t think the “someone special” you kept mentioning had a son of my age.
Jeon Seokjin
(nervously) Taehyung, I understand this might be sudden, but—
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(cuts him off, voice low and dangerous) Sudden? It’s beyond that, Mr. Jeon.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
My father, the busiest man in Korea, suddenly wants to play house with someone he loved in college.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
And I’m supposed to what smile and clap?
Kim Namjoon
(angry) Taehyung, watch your tone.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(shrugs, eyes cold) I’m just saying what everyone else is thinking.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(stepping forward from behind Seokjin, his expression calm but his eyes sharp)
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
It’s not about what everyone else thinks. It’s about them finding happiness again and you should try not to ruin that just because you can’t understand it.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smirks, eyes scanning him from head to toe) Guess I judged too soon.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(crosses arms, unimpressed) You did. But I’m used to people like you making assumptions.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
People like me? (chuckles) You mean rich, confident, and not afraid to speak their mind?
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
I mean spoiled, self-centered, and blind to anything that doesn’t shine.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(grins, leaning closer) Ouch. That tone doesn’t suit that angelic face, sweetheart.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(stiffens slightly, cheeks heating) Don’t call me that.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(tilts his head, with mischief) Why not? It fits. You’ve got that calm, too-good-for-this-world energy. Makes me want to ruin it.
Kim Namjoon
Taehyung, enough.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smirks, not taking his eyes off Jungkook)
Kim Taehyung (thv)
Just talking, Dad. Nothing wrong with a little conversation, right?
Jeon Seokjin
(gently) Jungkook, it’s alright.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(without breaking his stare) It’s fine, Dad. I can handle it.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(grins wider) Oh, I don’t doubt that. You’ve got fire behind those calm eyes. I like that.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
I’m not here for you to like or dislike.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(leans in close, his breath ghosting Jungkook’s ear) That’s the problem, sweetheart. I already do.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(steps back, jaw tight) You don’t know me.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smirks, eyes darkening) I will.
Kim Namjoon
(clears his throat) Let’s keep this civil. We’re all going to be family soon.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(still looking at Jungkook) "Family" interesting word. Let’s see how that works out.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(quietly) We’ll see.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
(walking over with his glass raised) Uncle Namjoon! Congratulations on the engagement. You’ve officially shocked the Seoul.
Kim Namjoon
(smiling politely) Thank you, Yeonjun. I hope that’s a good kind of shock.
Haneul (thv bff)
(laughs lightly) The best kind. It’s good to see someone actually chase love instead of profit.
Jeon Seokjin
(smile) That’s kind of you to say dear.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(half-smiling) My friends are full of kind words when the champagne’s free.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
(grins at him) Don’t act like you’re not enjoying the spotlight, Taehyung. You live for this.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(chuckles, swirling his drink) I live for many things, Yeonjun. Attention just happens to be one of them.
Haneul (thv bff)
(turning to Jungkook) And you must be Jungkook, right? We heard your father just moved here.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(polite nod) Yes. It’s been a big change, but it’s good for him.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
(smiling, slightly teasing) You’re studying business too, aren’t you? Same field as our Taehyung.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
You should hang out with us sometime. Let me tell you Taehyung knows all the best places in Seoul.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
That’s nice of you, but I think I’ll pass. I’m not much for nightlife.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(leans in) Translation: He doesn’t like people like us.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(meets his gaze, calm) I didn’t say that. I just prefer quiet places.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
Come on, it’s just a party. You should come with us after this. There’s an after-party at The Velvet Room.
Haneul (thv bff)
It’s where all of us usually end up. You’ll get used to it.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(Shakes his head) Thank you, really. But I should stay close to my dad tonight.
Jeon Seokjin
(gently) Kook, it’s alright, go have some fun. You don’t need to stand here all evening.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
Yes, go. You’re young make some memories. Taehyung can take you along.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(hesitates, glances at Taehyung) That’s not necessary. I don’t want to intrude.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smirks, eyes dark with amusement) Intrude?
Kim Taehyung (thv)
My soon to be little step brother, you’d be the most interesting thing that happen to me tonight.
Kim Namjoon
Taehyung. (stern tone)
Kim Namjoon
Look after him and I mean it. Show him around, introduce him to your friends, and try not to turn it into a competition.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smiling lazily) Of course, Father. I’ll be the picture of hospitality.
Jeon Seokjin
(grateful smile) Thank you, Taehyung. Jungkook tends to keep to himself. It’ll be good for him to meet people.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(quietly) Dad—
Jeon Seokjin
(gently) Please, Jungkook. Go.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(nods slowly) Alright. If it makes you happy.
Yeonjun (thv bff)
Perfect. Let’s go grab another drink first.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(puts his glass down) I’ll take him from here, guys. Catch up with you in a minute.
Haneul (thv bff)
(grins knowingly) Don’t scare him off, Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smirks) I make no promises.
Yeonjun and Haneul drift away into the crowd. The music grows louder. Taehyung steps closer, his presence heavy, almost suffocating.
Namjoon and Jin also moves as there are so many people greeting them.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(looking around) I don’t understand why they all look at you like that.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
Like what?
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
Like you’re the sun and they’re afraid to look too long.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smirks) Because they know they’ll burn if they do.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
That’s not something to be proud of.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(tilts his head, eyes sharp) Depends on what you enjoy like being admired or being feared. I’ve learned to take both.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
That explains a lot.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(smile fades to something darker) You’re still judging me. I can see it.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
I’m observing. There’s a difference.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(steps closer, lowering his voice) Observation turns into fascination faster than you think, angel.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(takes a small step back) You like calling people that, don’t you?
Kim Taehyung (thv)
Only when it fits and you are the only one this name fits so perfectly.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
You’ve got that look calm on the outside, chaos underneath and that makes me want to see which side wins.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
You assume too much about people you barely know.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(grins) I’m very good at reading people. Especially the ones pretending they’re not affected.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
I’m not pretending anything.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(Chuckles) Then why are you still standing here?
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
Because your father asked you to look after me. I’m trying to respect that.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
Respect. What a pretty word. Rarely means what people think it does.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
You sound like someone who stopped believing in it.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
I stopped believing in a lot of things. Love. Loyalty. Fairy-tale endings. They don’t exist in my world.
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
(steady gaze) Maybe not in yours.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(leans closer, almost whispering) That sounded like hope, sweetheart. Dangerous thing to bring around me.
Across the room, Taehyung finally straightens, his expression unreadable.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
Come on. I’ll show you around.
Kim Taehyung (thv)
(walking ahead, glancing back over his shoulder)
Jeon Jungkook (jjk)
💭 Why he is so full of himself?
