--? The world is cruel, Mr. Kim. Don't believe me? Try seeing it through my eyes-a crowd of deceivers calmly destroying lives. Tell me, do you ever look in the mirror? Can you face that deceitful reflection? Doesn't it sicken you? Because it sickens...
--" The empire belongs to my queen. And his beloved king is sitting right in front of you. If you can take him down, go ahead and try, Mr. Mafia.
--" And what if the queen himself is no longer there?
Suga raised an eyebrow.
--" You're the last remaining piece of my illegitimate aunt from Canada. Killing you would actually make me sad. Don't drag the venomous past into this, Suga. If I go down, no one will be left in peace. You know me, right? I don't think I need to remind you what I'm capable of.
Suga stared at Taehyung's calm face, dangerously calmer. There was no fear, no anxiety, no hesitation, no trace of anger even.

Suga knew Taehyung was dangerous, in ways that most people could never comprehend. But he being one of the underworld's members understood that clearly and because Suga himself was no saint either.
--" If your truth comes to light, your queen alone will be enough to destroy you, Mr. Kim Taehyung!
--" You should worry about yourself. You have only one life, and if you lose it, what will keep your body running?
With that cold threat, Taehyung walked away, leaving Suga deep in thought. Something was happening behind the scenes. Killing Jungkook wasn't his real goal. His true intention was to take everything for himself from that boy. He had tried contacting Yoongi several times, but to no avail. Their lives were a mess. Despite having everything, they had no one. His interaction with Taehyung was a secret that only a few people knew about. Not even Yoongi.
Suga wouldn't disappoint Kim Rosa. He would give his all to face Taehyung. The problem was that neither of them could bring themselves to kill the other. Otherwise, this mess would have been over long ago.
Meanwhile, Taehyung had gone straight to Jungkook's office. The younger hadn't been picking up his calls since morning. Even after all the love and affection he showered on him, his little furious wifey was ignoring him. All his hard work was going to waste. Huh?!
So, Taehyung decided he would love Jungkook even more from now on. He would pamper him like a morning and evening dose of medicine. If necessary, he would leave politics and take up the job of holding onto his wifey's coat-tails all day long. He would make sure Jungkook became utterly obsessed with him as much as he is!
That was the only way to make their love truly intoxicating.
~~
As soon as Taehyung entered the cabin, Jungkook frowned and looked up at him. With a displeased expression, he asked,
--" What do you want?
--" Wifey's attention. How could you be so unfaithful, Jungkook? After an entire night of love making, is this how you repay me? After all that hard work, you should be sitting on my lap right now. But instead, you forgot everything the moment morning came! So basically, once the work is done, it's goodbye for me too huh?
Jungkook stared at him with calm, unreadable eyes, silently absorbing all of Taehyung's nonsense. Once he finally stopped talking, Jungkook turned back to his work and said in a composed voice,
--" If you're done with your nonsense, please leave, Minister Kim.
Taehyung ignored the words entirely. Instead, he grabbed Jungkook's waist, pulling him close and pressing him tightly against his chest. He placed a soft kiss on Jungkook's forehead and asked in a gentle tone,
--" Why weren't you answering my calls?
--" I was busy.
Jungkook's simple answer didn't sit well with Taehyung, but he didn't let it show. He kept the younger in his embrace for a moment longer, then brushed his fingers along his cheek and asked,
--" Did you eat anything? How are you feeling now, wifey?
--" I'm fine. Haven't eaten yet, but I will have it soon.
--" Let's eat together then. A boy named Soobin will be coming today. From now on, he'll be your personal assistant. Jun will explain everything to him and bring him here. He'll stay with you all day. Actually Soobin is an orphan. Arrange a place for hin in Koo Nirbān for the night. He has a little brother who will stay with him as well. Any issues with that?
--" No problem. I'll handle everything. Now let go of me, I'm hungry.
But Taehyung didn't let go. Instead, he tightened his grip, pulling Jungkook even closer. In a hushed voice, he whispered,
--" I can't let go of you. I'm not in the mood. A husband isn't something you just push away. A husband is someone you hold onto like this. So stay still. Otherwise, it won't take me long to turn this office into a bedroom.
Jungkook's breath hitched, his already wide doe eyes widening at Taehyung's shameless words. The warmth of Taehyung's embrace seeped through his clothes, making his skin tingle. He could feel the elder's heartbeat against his back, steady yet intense, as if it was claiming him with every beat.
But Jungkook wasn't about to let Taehyung win that easily. He huffed, shifting in his grip, his cheeks burning a soft shade of pink.
--" You're being ridiculous, Minister Kim.
Jungkook grumbled, though he made no real attempt to move away before again adding,
--" Who talks like that in the middle of work? And who said anything about husbands, huh?
Taehyung chuckled, low and rich, his lips brushing teasingly against Jungkook's earlobe as he whispered,
--" I did. And I meant it.
Jungkook's stomach flipped, his heart betraying him with how fast it was racing. He pursed his lips, trying to keep up his grumpy act, but Taehyung knew him too well. He tightened his arms, resting his chin on Jungkook's shoulder, making it impossible for the younger one to escape.
--" I should report you for harassment.
Jungkook muttered, crossing his arms but still trapped in Taehyung's hold.
Taehyung only smirked, brushing his nose against the side of Jungkook's neck, his voice full of amusement.
--" Then do it. But you'll have to get out of my arms first, wifey.
Jungkook let out an exaggerated sigh, pretending to be annoyed, but the warmth pooling in his chest betrayed him. He liked these simple things like Taehyung's possessiveness, his teasing words, the way he held him as if he never wanted to let go.
--" You're a pervert minister!
Jungkook mumbled.
Taehyung couldn't help but let out a heart felt laugh, pressing a soft kiss to his wifey's temple.
--" And yet, you're here caged in my arms. For forever!
