Scene: Velvet Heat

The grand dining room of the mansion glowed with candlelight. Gold plates, crystal glasses, and blood-red wine filled the table — but the real spectacle sat at the center, cross-legged on the polished mahogany, wearing silk shorts and one of Namjoon’s button-ups, unbuttoned too far.

Taehyung.

He dangled a grape between his fingers, smirking at the six pairs of eyes locked on him.

“You’re late,” Namjoon said, voice smooth but laced with warning.

Taehyung popped the grape into his mouth slowly. “I was busy.”

“With who?” growled Jungkook, jaw tight. He hadn’t touched his drink.

Taehyung tilted his head, lips glistening. “Wouldn’t you like to know.”

Jimin chuckled softly. “He’s baiting you, baby. Don’t bite.”

Yoongi said nothing, but his eyes didn’t leave Tae for a second — sharp, unreadable, like he was deciding whether to kiss him or kill him.

Hoseok slammed his knife down. “Get off the table, Tae.”

Taehyung smiled wider. “Make me.”

Namjoon stood, slow and calm. Everyone went still.

“Tae. Down. Now.”

And that was the thing — even when he was brattiest, Taehyung obeyed Namjoon. He slid off the table, but deliberately brushed past Hoseok and let his fingers trail down Jimin’s chest on the way.

“Such a little tease,” Jimin purred, catching his wrist. “Do you even know what you’re doing to us?”

“I know exactly what I’m doing,” Taehyung whispered, eyes flicking from brother to brother. “You all want me. And I’m the only one who gets to choose who I’ll spend the night with.”

That did it.

Chairs scraped. Wine was spilled. Jungkook was already crossing the room. Hoseok looked ready to throw him over the table. Seokjin leaned back, sipping his wine like he was watching a show — but his eyes were dark with hunger.

Namjoon only said one thing, voice like a command laced in velvet:

“Then choose wisely, baby. Because the others will be watching.”
