Mafia's Beautiful Obsession (Taekook)
Chapter 1
author
I had a massive plot bunny hit me, and I’m planning to pivot the whole story. It feels much stronger this way—let me know what you think of the new ideas!
The Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Shilla was a sea of black ties, diamond-encrusted gowns, and the suffocating scent of expensive ambition. For the elite, this wasn't just a gala; it was a battlefield of influence. But for Kim Taehyung, it was merely an inconvenience that stood between him and a good night’s sleep.
Taehyung stood near the edge of the room, looking like a porcelain doll come to life. Clad in a custom-tailored white suit that highlighted his slim waist, his hair was styled in soft, chocolate-brown curls that begged to be touched. In his hand, entirely out of place amidst the vintage champagne flutes, was a small, store-bought carton of strawberry milk with a straw.
Kim Seokjin(ore)
"Taetae, darling,"
Seokjin murmured, his hand resting gently on his son's shoulder.
Seokjin looked breathtaking in midnight blue, his posture radiating the natural elegance of a Kim.
Kim Seokjin(ore)
"If you’re bored, we can slip out early. Your father is almost done pretending to care about the new shipping merger."
Namjoon, standing beside them with a calm, intellectual air, chuckled.
Kim Namjoon
"I’m not pretending, Hon. I’m just waiting for the right moment to exit gracefully."
He turned to Taehyung, his eyes softening into pure warmth.
Kim Namjoon
"You holding up okay, Tae-bear?
Taehyung smiled, his eyes turning into adorable crescents.
Kim Taehyung(ore)
"I’m fine, Papa. I just wanted a snack."
He took a loud, unabashed slurp of his milk.
His older brother, Yoongi, who had joined them moments earlier, rolled his eyes affectionately, ruffling Taehyung’s hair.
Kim yoongi
"You’re a menace, kid. At a high-society event, and you’re drinking toddler juice."
Kim Taehyung(ore)
"It’s delicious, hyung. Don't be jealous,"
Taehyung retorted, his chin lifted with a hint of a sassy pout, his eyes flashing with a playful, tiger-like glint that made his family chuckle.
Across the room, the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees. Jeon Jungkook stood in the shadows, his presence like a physical weight. As a man who ran the city’s most dangerous underground syndicates by night and the world’s most powerful logistics corporation by day, Jungkook was used to being the apex predator in any room.
He didn't care for the chatter or the business deals. He was about to leave when his eyes locked onto the figure in white.
Jungkook froze. He watched the way the younger man tilted his head while drinking from the carton, the way his family—the notoriously powerful and respectable Kim clan—surrounded him with such visible, unfiltered adoration. It was a sight Jungkook had never witnessed: a person so clearly cherished, so untouched by the coldness of their world, yet radiating a sharp, intelligent sass that made Jungkook’s fingers twitch with a sudden, overwhelming urge to possess.
He didn't know who the boy was, but he knew one thing: the Kim family might be known for their grace, but they were about to realize that someone far more dangerous had just set his sights on their most precious treasure.
Jeon Jungkook
"Who is that?"
Jungkook’s voice was a low, dangerous rumble, directed at his assistant standing in the shadows behind him.
Li Matthew (Jungkook's Assistant)
"That’s Kim Taehyung, sir. The youngest of the Kim family."
Jungkook took a slow sip of his whiskey, his eyes never leaving Taehyung’s lips as he pulled the straw from his mouth. A dark, possessive smirk tugged at the corner of Jungkook’s mouth.
Jeon Jungkook
"The Kims," He whispered to himself, his gaze sharpening.
Jeon Jungkook
"Let’s see how much they really love him."
Jungkook’s voice was a low, dangerous rumble, directed at his assistant standing in the shadows behind him.
Taehyung, blissfully unaware of the predator watching him, leaned into his mother’s side, letting out a soft laugh at something Yoongi said. He felt safe, he felt loved, and he felt completely free. He had no idea that the moment he stepped into that ballroom, his life had quietly, irreversibly changed.

chapter 2
The gala was boring. People were just talking about money and fake smiles. But for Jeon Jungkook, the room was empty except for one person. He stood in the shadows, his eyes locked onto Taehyung like a predator watching his prize.
Jungkook didn't care about the business deals. He only watched the way Taehyung laughed, and the way he didn't care what anyone thought of him. When a wealthy man tried to talk down to them, Taehyung shut him down with one sharp, witty comment that made his parents smile in pride. Taehyung was soft, but he had teeth. Jungkook found it fascinating.
Kim yoongi
"You really hate his tie, don't you?" He asked, his voice low.
He was watching his brother mock the ugly, expensive silk tie of a man nearby.
Taehyung smirked, his eyes full of mischief.
Kim Taehyung(ore)
"It looks like a napkin from a cheap diner, hyung. I’m doing the world a favor by mentioning it."
Kim yoongi
"You’re a nightmare," he teased, though his hand rested protectively on Taehyung’s shoulder.
Kim Taehyung(ore)
"You’re just jealous because you don't have my sense of style," He shot back, rolling his eyes with a sass that only a younger brother could get away with.
Kim yoongi
"Style? That’s what you call that disaster?" He laughed, shaking his head.
Suddenly, Yoongi felt something. It was a cold, heavy feeling on his skin, like someone was staring right through him. It wasn't the usual look people gave the Kims. This felt dangerous. It was the weight of absolute power. Yoongi stopped talking and scanned the room, his expression hardening.
Kim Taehyung(ore)
"Everything okay?" Taehyung asked, his voice losing its playfulness. He was always sensitive to his family’s moods.
Yoongi blinked, trying to find the source of the feeling. He looked toward the dark corners of the room, but he couldn't see anyone clearly. He shook his head, pushing the bad feeling away. He knew the Kims didn't judge others, but they were always ready to defend their own.
Kim yoongi
"Just a headache, Taetae," He said, forcing a calm smile.
Kim yoongi
"Too many people talking nonsense."
Kim Taehyung(ore)
"Let's get out of here," He sighed, bored again.
Kim Taehyung(ore)
"Let's go to the garden. I bet the statues there are beautiful."
Kim yoongi
"Lead the way, you little brat," He chuckled.
As the brothers walked toward the French doors, they passed right by the corner where Jungkook stood.
Jungkook didn't move. He stood perfectly still, his eyes burning into the back of Taehyung’s head. The "headache" Yoongi felt wasn't a coincidence—it was the pressure of Jungkook’s focus. The mafia CEO felt a dark, possessive pull in his chest. He didn't want to rush this. He wanted to watch, to learn, and to eventually claim.
Jeon Jungkook
"Enjoy your walk, princess." He whispered into the shadows, his voice cold and sharp.
Jeon Jungkook
"The garden is a perfect place for secrets."
Taehyung and Yoongi are now heading to the garden, thinking they’ve escaped the crowd.
