Chapter 47: CRIMSON OBSESSION

 


Chaos Unleashed


The city awoke to a nightmare.


Every news channel, every social media platform, every newspaper screamed the same thing—murder, bloodshed, and a name carved into infamy. The gruesome death of a beloved actress, her final moments broadcasted to thousands, had set the world ablaze with terror and speculation.


The media latched onto the horror like leeches, dissecting every second of the live-streamed event. Experts debated, journalists theorized, and the police scrambled to control the hysteria. The message scrawled in blood had been erased from official reports, but leaked images ensured the whole world knew:


“Touch what’s mine, and I’ll make the whole world bleed.”


The police had locked down the crime scene, officers moving in coordinated chaos, their faces pale with disbelief. Seoul’s top officials called for immediate action. Detectives worked tirelessly, but they had nothing—no suspect, no solid evidence, just a room full of horror and a camera that had seen too much, yet too little.


The public reeled. Was it a warning? A personal vendetta? Or something much, much worse?


Meanwhile…


Jungkook leaned back in his chair, sipping a glass of whiskey, the amber liquid catching the dim lights of the penthouse. Across from him, Taehyung sat, still stained with remnants of his kill, his smirk lazy, pleased.


“Nice touch,” Jungkook murmured, swirling his drink. “You really know how to send a message.”


Taehyung chuckled, dragging his tongue across his lower lip. “She deserved worse.”


Jungkook tilted his head, observing him. “And yet, you didn’t rush. You made sure they heard her screams. You wanted them to remember.”


Taehyung met his gaze, something dark flashing behind his eyes. “I don’t just kill, Jungkook. I make history.”


Jungkook smirked. “You enjoy the chaos.”


“And you enjoy watching me create it.”


Jungkook exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “The police are lost. They have nothing except a city trembling in fear.”


Taehyung placed his drink down, leaning forward. “Then let’s keep them trembling.”


Their Next Move


The world was already panicking. It was time to push harder.


In the dead of night, another body was found—this time, a high-ranking politician with connections to underground dealings. His body was slumped in his office chair, his throat slit clean, but no cameras, no recordings. Only a single playing card left on his desk.


The Joker.


The media barely had time to breathe before another storm erupted. Two murders, vastly different, yet equally shocking. The connection? None. Except for the fact that they both disrupted power structures.


Fear seeped deeper. The police worked overtime, but the whispers in the underground grew louder.


A new war had begun.


And in the eye of the storm, Taehyung and Jungkook watched, smirking, as the world trembled beneath their fingertips.


To Be Continued...

Chapter Forty-Eight "Phoenix in His Arms"

  Unpacking Surprises By the time Jungkook pulled up to the grand Kim estate, the sky had already darkened, signaling the approach of dinner. The day had been exhausting but thrilling, and despite his lingering annoyance with Taehyung, his excitement over their shopping spree overpowered his irritation—for now. After dropping his friends home, Jungkook walked inside with an exaggerated sigh, carrying numerous shopping bags with him. He didn’t even glance in Taehyung’s direction as he strode past him and straight into the living room, where Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim were waiting for him. “Momma! Dada! You won’t believe the day we had!” he babbled excitedly, dropping onto the couch beside them. “It was insane! We went to Luxe Lane, and you should have seen Soobin’s face when I told him we own the place! He looked like he was going to faint! And then Jimin? Oh my god, he was trying on the most extra outfits ever, acting like he was walking down a runway! And Niki—she just kept piling...

Chapter Forty-Nine "Phoenix in His Arms"

  A Lesson in Temptation Jungkook crossed his arms stubbornly, his eyes darting anywhere but at Taehyung. "No way. I'm not doing this." Taehyung, leaning casually against the wall, arched an eyebrow. His dark eyes held an intensity that made Jungkook shiver. "Why not? You scared?" Jungkook scoffed, but the way Taehyung's gaze pinned him in place had his confidence shaking. That predatory smirk, the way his sharp features remained unreadable, yet his eyes burned with something unspoken—it was too much. Without another word, Jungkook grabbed the pile of revealing clothes and stormed into his walk-in closet, slamming the door shut behind him. He could already hear the low chuckle Taehyung let out from the other side, and it only fueled his growing frustration. "Damn you, Taehyung," Jungkook muttered under his breath, already plotting his friends' murder for putting him in this position. With a heavy sigh, he shifted through the ridicul...

Chapter Fifty-One "Phoenix in His Arms"

  Unbelievable Discoveries The sun had barely begun to rise when the Kim couple stealthily approached Jungkook’s room. Their steps were careful, their voices hushed as they communicated through silent gestures. They couldn’t afford to be caught—not when they were on a mission. “Be quiet! We can’t risk getting caught,” Mrs. Kim whispered, glaring at her husband as he accidentally brushed against the doorframe. “I am quiet,” Mr. Kim retorted in a hushed voice, rolling his eyes. “You’re the one whispering so loud.” Mr. Kim slowly turned the doorknob, pushing it open just enough for both of them to peek inside. Their eyes scanned the room, and their brows furrowed in confusion. Everything looked… normal. Too normal. Mrs. Kim frowned. “Everything’s tidy. Did nothing happen?” The bed was neat, the furniture was in place, and nothing seemed out of order. But that couldn’t be right, could it? Something must have happened. There was no way Taehyung had managed to keep his co...
