"Bloodlines of Power" (Taekook)
Chapter 3~ Knives Behind Smiles
[Private Room - Kim Mansion Library]
(Jimin and Taehyung are alone for the first time)
Kim Taehyung/tae
(leaning on the window, back turned) You don't smell like the others
Jeon Jimin/chimchim
(calm) I'm not like the others
Kim Taehyung/tae
(glancing over) You're confident. I hate that
Jeon Jimin/chimchim
(stepping closer) No. You hate being curious about people you can't control
Kim Taehyung/tae
(half-smiling) You think I'm curious about you?
Jeon Jimin/chimchim
(shrugs) Your scent spiked the moment I walked in. So did mine. Let's not pretend, Taehyung
Kim Taehyung/tae
(low voice) ...I could ruin you
Jeon Jimin/chimchim
(soft, but firm) You could try
(A long pause. Eye contact. Not desire- yet.
Just tension. Sharp like broken glass.)
[Jungkook - hallway, pacing]
Jeon Jungkook/kook
(texting Jimmy) They've been in there for 20 minutes. No shouting. No one bleeding. That's good, right?
Jeon jimmy/mochi
Or it's worse than we thought
Jeon Jungkook/kook
...What if he actually likes Jimin?
Jeon jimmy/mochi
Then it's over for all of us
Kim Taehyung/tae
(finally speaking again) Why didn't you flinch?
Jeon Jimin/chimchim
(quietly) Because I've already seen worse monsters than you
Kim Taehyung/tae
That almost sounded like a compliment
Jeon Jimin/chimchim
(stepping away) Good. You don't deserve a real one yet
(He leaves first. Taehyung doesn't stop him.)
[Taehyung - alone now, whispering to himself]
Kim Taehyung/tae
"True Blood... and fearless"
Kim Taehyung/tae
"I might actually want that one."
