Velvet Cage (Taekook/Vkook)
Taehyung’s Pov
I forgot what it looked like.
It hurts my eyes the second the blindfold comes off. My wrists are still bandaged — not because he cares, but because he doesn’t want people seeing the damage he’s done.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
Stay close to me, baby.
Jungkook says it like we’re on a date. His hand grips my waist, fingers pressing just enough to bruise.
I stare at the quiet street. Trees rustling, cars passing. People walking. Laughing. Living.
So close… and yet so far.
Kim Taehyung | Student
Why are we outside?
My voice cracks. It’s the first time I’ve spoken since yesterday.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
You said you wanted freedom.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
I’m giving you a taste.
We’re at a small, classy café. No school kids here — too expensive, too quiet. It’s his kind of place.
He sits across from me, sunglasses on, tapping his phone. His fingers never stop moving.
I sit still. Like a doll. Like the obedient toy he wants me to be.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
You remember Seokjin-hyung?
Jeon Jungkook | ???
The man who came with you the first day?
The man who cuffed my hands like it was normal. The one who said,
Kim Seokjin | Jungkook’s assistant
He gets what he wants. You’ll learn.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
He’s my assistant,
Jungkook says, sipping his drink.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
Knows how to clean up messes. Keeps me clean.
Kim Taehyung | Student
And what are you?
He smirks. Like I just flirted.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
Dangerous.
FLASHBACK — TWO DAYS BEFORE THE KIDNAPPING
Kim Taehyung | Student
Kim Namjoon, huh?
I was sitting in the library, flipping through a student directory.
Park Jimin | Taehyung’s friend
He’s not just a student,
Park Jimin | Taehyung’s friend
They say he runs some underground business. Money laundering, maybe. But no one dares to report him.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
You know Namjoon, too
Jungkook says casually now, licking whipped cream from his straw.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
He’s my business partner.
Kim Taehyung | Student
In what?
Jeon Jungkook | ???
You'll find out soon.
A new figure walks into the café. Calm, expressionless. Dressed in black. He looks like he owns silence.
He doesn’t greet me. He doesn’t speak. Just hands Jungkook a brown folder and nods.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
Left-hand,
Jungkook hums, flipping through the papers.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
He handles the dirty work. Quick and clean.
Kim Taehyung | Student
What kind of dirty work?
He leans in, whispering by my ear.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
People who talk too much. Or try to run.
Warm eyes. Soft smile. Until you look too close.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
Right-hand,
Jeon Jungkook | ???
He finds what belongs to me.
Jung Hoseok | Jungkook’s Right-hand
I’m the one who dragged you from that alley. You shouldn’t have skipped class that day, pretty.
Kim Taehyung | Student
You brought me here… to show off?
Jungkook laughs. Softly. Dangerously.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
No, baby. I brought you here so you understand something important.
He reaches into his pocket. Pulls out a small velvet box. Opens it.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
Collars don’t have to be ugly.
He fastens it around my neck, right there in public.
Jeon Jungkook | ???
You’re mine, Taehyung. And even out here, under the sun… I own you.
People glance. But no one stops him. No one questions. No one saves me.
Because monsters don’t always growl.
Sometimes, they smile over coffee.
