Third Person POV

Jeongguk wakes up to his phone ringing. He didn't want to, absolutely didn't want to. He groans as he gets another call and it seems like he'll have to pick up. He actually thought he left it in his office after he went to the swimming place but he left it here. Regrets why its here because he really didn't want to wake up.

He tries to move but the movement of one arm is stopped when he feels someone holding onto it. He opens his eyes, finds the source of hindrance of the movement and it's Taehyung, holding onto his arm as if he'll drown if he let's go of it.

What happened a few hours ago repeats in his mind and he smirks. Taehyung's something else. He's confident but submissive as well and he's so fucking exciting to be with. He has never enjoyed sex as much as he did last night. And he wants it to keep happening.

The phone isn't ringing anymore and Jeongguk's looking at Taehyung, it's still dark outside but he's glad the lamp is still on, forgot to turn it off, as now he can see Taehyung.

He's beautiful. It's a powerful word for Jeongguk because he has enclosed many other words in this particular word and it's all Taehyung. Simple and easily it's Taehyung because Jeongguk has never seen anyone so beautiful like him---

---ethereal, gorgeous---dangerously beautiful---a fucking lethal beauty he is. Stubborn, headstrong, sassy and strong---not just a pretty face.

But he's broken too. Jeongguk knows because one broken person can recognize the other broken person. No matter how the other hides and since Jeongguk is really good at observing, he did see it in his eyes.

Taehyung being related to this dark world through Hyunjae makes it on the list of someone broken from inside.

They're all fucked up in this dark world. Everyone in some way and Taehyung must've got dragged in it somehow---a taint of darkness has touched him now which can never go away.

His phone rings again and he curses, grabs it from the side and sees a private number. It's 4.30 in the fucking morning and he had slept for barely two hours.

"Turn it off." Taehyung says after he shifts a little, holds onto Jeongguk's arm tightly.

Jeongguk takes the call, it's Mingyu.

"Better be important." Jeongguk says in a low voice.

"I wouldn't call you just to ask you if you're having a good night's sleep or not. I'm awake too." Mingyu says.

"Cut the bullshit and tell me why you called." Jeongguk utters.

"He's agreed to see you. Said he'd be obliged to meet The Jeon Jeongguk." Mingyu says and Jeongguk can hear the sarcasm, not Mingyu's but his.

He has met me before though.

"You deal with him nicely and I am sure he can agree, to both mine and your offer---whatever that is." Mingyu says.

"I know."

"He's already in the city. If you leave right now, he'll meet you right after waking up. Said you're welcome in his den anytime." Mingyu says and Jeongguk smirks.

"Of course. I'll be there. Thanks Mingyu." Jeongguk says.

"No problem but you talk to him about me too." Mingyu says.

"I will."

"And Jeongguk, be careful you know. You may be he Devil but he's no less." Mingyu says and Jeongguk chuckles a little.
