The Crown Bleeds Too

Grief will take form, not as tears, but as fire. He will burn what betrayed them both.
The letter still lay open on the bed, but Taehyung was no longer looking at it.
He was at the window now, eyes scanning the city below his kingdom. His cage. Every building, every neon light, every shadowed alley was built on blood he helped spill. But tonight, something shifted.
The king had buried his lover. Now he would bury his enemies.
In Underground Vault – 3:12 AM
Smoke curled from the end of Taehyung’s cigarette as he stood in front of a secured vault hidden beneath his father’s abandoned estate. He hadn’t stepped foot here since the night his father died. The air was thick with mildew, rot, and old power.
Beside him, Jimin watched warily.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
You’re sure about this?
Taehyung didn’t answer. He punched in the code
8 – 1 – 3 – 0
Jungkook's birthday. August 13.
The lock clicked open. Inside: files, weapons, maps, blackmail. Everything his father once used to control the Five Families.
Taehyung pulled out a sealed red folder marked
Operation Thorns.
He flipped it open and there it was.
A detailed web connecting high-ranking council members, offshore accounts, and surveillance logs… on him.
Taehyung’s name was circled in red. Jungkook’s—underlined. Marked: Asset. At risk.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
They were watching us both
Jimin muttered.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
They knew everything.
Taehyung’s voice was like ice.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
They planned to kill me from the start. Jungkook was trying to stop it.
Jimin swallowed.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
...So what now?
Taehyung turned to him, gaze deadly calm.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Now we burn the roots.
They both turned their steps towards their secret basement. As soon as they entered:
Taehyung dons black gloves, slipping weapons into a tailored suit.
A councilman’s car explodes in a rain-slicked parking lot.
Another council member is found suffocated in a velvet-lined booth, red rose petals in his mouth as a message.
Jimin hacks into encrypted council servers, sending leaks to rival families to stir distrust.
A secret photo surfaces: Jungkook in chains, bruised. Proof he was tortured before death. Proof Taehyung never saw.
That night, Taehyung was drenched in blood. The blood of people who made him kill his lover, who loved him dearly.
The Graveyard – Night
Taehyung knelt in front of Jungkook’s grave, wind lashing against his coat. He placed a single white camellia on the cold marble.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I see it all now..
He whispered.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
They made me kill you.
His voice broke, but just once.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
But they’ll pay for every second you suffered. I swear it, Jungkook.
Thunder rumbled in the distance. And then—a sound.
Footsteps.
Taehyung stood abruptly, hand on his gun.
A figure in the dark. Hooded. Silent. Watching.
Then a voice... low, familiar, aching with history.
You’re late, Tae.
His world shattered.
Taehyung staggered back. The gun slipped from his hand.
Because standing there, half in shadow, half in moonlight,
Was Jungkook.
