Taehyung was forbidden to leave the mansion, he knew that but after being locked up for so long, the small blond had craved to go to the garden again. Visits to the garden were rarely allowed by his bodyguards who were told to ensure Taehyung's safety under any circumstances.

They now also crowded the petit male who was walking in their middle, feeling suffocated by their large figures that paid close attention to his every move. Taehyung shivered and pulled his jacket more over himself.

"Are you cold, Sir? Would you rather go inside?", one of the bodyguards asked Taehyung politely who replied with a shy shake of his head. "No, I've been locked inside for so long now, I want to go outside", Taehyung assured him his well-being.

The guards checked the garden before allowing Taehyung outside and as soon as his feet touched the warm grass, Taehyung exhaled deeply. He turned around himself for a moment before plopping down on the grass, giggling to himself as he was feeling the green underground.

He was unaware of the fond eyes on him. The head of his bodyguards was an elderly, more experienced man with a scar across his face. He had already been serving under the old Jeon and was now that the monstrous man was dead under Jungkook's command.

The man had soon proven his loyalty and wisdom to the young Mafia leader and Jungkook trusted him enough to let the man, Lee Minseul, watch over his most precious possession, his doll Taehyung.

Minseul watched Taehyung out of alert eyes. He couldn't help the little smile tugging on the corners of his lips as he watched the petit little angel play in the grass. There was something so... innocent and pure about this male that fascinated Minseul. Taehyung reminded Minseul of a little deer playing, unaware of the dangers surrounding it.

"Understandable that Jeon's so fond of him. He's beautiful", one of his subordinates whispered to the one standing next to him. All of them were watching their protected with careful eyes for their surroundings, knowing they were dead if something happened to this precious bean.

Taehyung, unknown to himself, had become the most popular person of Jeon's Mafia, the one to capture their leader's heart and all of them were tasked to protect Taehyung with their lives.

It was easy for them after encountering Kim Taehyung, incarnation of beauty and innocence. No wonder their boss fell for the gorgeous boy, he was absolutely stunning.

Taehyung, unaware of the eyes on his frame, had started to pick up some flowers he wanted to put into a vase in his bedroom, humming a happy song to himself. He was just bending down to pick another flower up when a heavy body crashed into his.

"I got him!", he heard an unknown voice yell over his head before he was pressed to the ground, struggling in a way too tight grip that soon felt suffocating. He was too shocked to react, only laying there on the ground while the person, a man, rummaged over his body, finally coming down to reach his wrist.

"Disguising yourself as a different rank, how original", a gruff voice grumbled above Taehyung who finally found his voice to scream out for help.

Help came immediately in form of his bodyguards, Minseul the first one to punch the guy and drag him away from Taehyung who was shaking like a leaf, clutching onto his pearls and quickly hiding them back under his sleeve.

"Let go of me, I am a servant of the government!", the man screeched as he was dragged away, legs kicking. The syringe he had hold was left in the grass next to Taehyung. A drop of fluid fell to the grass and it immediately turned black and rotten.

Taehyung backed away with a horrified scream before bursting into tears. A government servant had tried to kill him. It was really true, Jungkook hadn't been lying. The government knew of his identity, they wanted to kill him for being a special case, for being an exception of the Chess system.

"Taehyung-ssi, are you alright? Did he hurt you?", Minseul asked as he rushed over to Taehyung who was pushing his knees to his chest, sobbing hysterically. The bodyguard knelt down in front of his protege, panicked because the blond wouldn't stop crying.

Fuck fuck fuck, this couldn't be happening, the boss would kill him if he came to know that a government member had broken into the garden and attacked Jeon's doll. Minseul was as good as dead, even more if Taehyung was harmed.

Taehyung surprised him. After he sniffed multiple times, he lifted his head.

"I-I wanna see Jungkook."

°°°

Jungkook was furious, completely out of control. After the incident in his mansion, his private home was reported to him, he had returned and fired all of the useless bodyguards who were too damn stupid to take care of his most precious treasure.

Everyone except Minseul was released from their jobs and it was only because of Minseul's loyalty that he was allowed to stay.

"Where is he?!", Jungkook's booming voice cut through the air, making Taehyung perk up on the couch. The little blond had curled himself up under a blanket, hugging a warm cup of tea to his chest. Taehyung didn't dare to say anything, only his silent sobs filling the air.

The Mafia leader stormed inside, suit jacket over his arm and the sleeves of his dress shirt rolled up to expose tatted, veiny forearms. The tie was loose and his hair looked like someone, most likely Jungkook himself, had tugged onto the strands in despair.

"Sweetheart", Jungkook called out for Taehyung who lifted his head, golden locks hiding his puffy eyes. The Mafia leader immediately approached Taehyung who jumped to his feet and flung himself into Jungkook's arms who abandoned his suit jacket like it meant nothing and didn't cost thousands of won.

"I was so scared...", Taehyung whispered into the crook of Jungkook's neck after he had wrapped his arms around the Mafia boss' neck. Jungkook was very surprised but happy about this change, carefully pulling Taehyung closer by his lithe waist.

"Don't be. I'm protecting you, Sweetheart", he assured the trembling puppy in his hold who finally pulled back in order to look Jungkook in the eyes.

"I was so sure you were lying... the government for sure couldn't know, Momma hid every trace of my true identity. I thought... this was all just a trick to separate me from my family and force me to stay with you", Taehyung started, eyes scanning over Jungkook's face who bit his lip in guilt but didn't interrupt Taehyung.

"B-but this man, he-- he tried to kill me, Jungkook. I'm a menace to society and the government came to know about my hidden identity. You told the truth and your men protected me. You really kept your word and didn't lie to me. You're really trying to change for the better."

Taehyung cracked a little smile.

"Maybe you aren't as bad as I thought you are."
