Chapter 51: CRIMSON OBSESSION

 

Bound by Blood and Lead

The box sat on Taehyung’s desk, small but radiating an ominous presence, as if it carried the weight of something far beyond material value. A simple black case, unmarked except for the initials ‘JJK’ engraved in silver along the edge.

Taehyung leaned back in his chair, fingers drumming against the polished surface, studying it. He could already feel the insanity laced within this gesture.

With slow precision, he flipped the lid open.

Inside, nestled against black velvet, lay an exquisitely crafted firearm—an ultra-rare, limited-edition pistol with a custom grip, engraved with intricate gold filigree that curled into his second name:  ‘Vante’s Possession.’

Taehyung smirked.

Tucked beneath the weapon was a folded piece of paper, its edges crisp as if Jungkook had handled it with careful deliberation.

Unfolding it, Taehyung's eyes scanned the words, each letter carefully inked in Jungkook’s elegant yet sharp handwriting.

A low chuckle vibrated through Taehyung’s chest. This wasn’t just a gift. It was a vow. A declaration.

Jungkook wasn’t asking to be freed. He was asking to be caged beside him.

And fuck, Taehyung wanted that too.

The pistol felt cold yet perfect in his grasp as he lifted it, eyes gleaming with something dark, something raw. His thumb traced over his own name, etched onto the weapon like a brand—proof that Jungkook was his.

Slowly, he turned the gun in his hand, pressing the muzzle against his lips, smirking against the chill of the metal.

“You’re fucking insane, baby boy,” he murmured, closing his eyes, breathing in the scent of fresh gunpowder and leather.

And so was he.

Taehyung’s grip tightened around the pistol.

It was time to answer Jungkook’s proposal.
