Kim Taehyung : Mafia heir

The name Kim Taehyung was not merely a name whispered within the university walls; it was a silent warning passed from one student to another, never spoken too loudly.

At twenty-four, he was a final-year university student, yet no one saw him as an ordinary student. He was the heir to a vast mafia empire and the son of a man whose name was associated with some of the most feared criminal networks in the world... yet Taehyung's reputation was even more terrifying than his father's.

Even the university's director treated him with extreme caution.

Everyone knew the simple rule:

Never provoke Kim Taehyung.

One afternoon, Taehyung was walking through one of the university building's corridors, dressed in his expensive clothes, his expression cold and unreadable.

The corridor was crowded, but the whispers gradually faded as he approached.

Then something happened that no one had dared to do before.

A student deliberately collided with him, then stood there arrogantly as if nothing had happened.

Taehyung stopped.

Silence fell.

He slowly raised his eyes toward the student. His gaze alone was enough to make everyone nearby step back.

His voice was low and cold.

— "Apologize."

The student laughed dismissively.

And that was the last mistake he made.

Taehyung did not need to raise his voice. He did not need a lengthy threat.

In a single movement, he grabbed the student and shoved him away from his path, sending him over the staircase railing toward the lower floor.

Students cried out and rushed toward him, while Taehyung remained exactly where he was, watching with an unsettling calm.

The director came running and stopped for a moment when he saw what had happened.

The principal looked at the student who had fallen from the second floor, screaming in pain, while the nurse rushed towards him. And there he was... a student's leg had been broken by a mafia heir.

The manager swallowed hard and then looked nervously at Taehyung.

Taehyung simply adjusted his shirt cuffs and spoke coldly.

— "Let this be a lesson to anyone who forgets who they're dealing with."

From that day onward, his reputation was no longer merely a rumor within the university ، It became a rule. ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

Taehyung was leaning against the railing of the spacious hall, surrounded by a few of his friends, listening to their conversation with an expression that barely changed.

His presence alone was enough to make the corridor feel different. Students passed around him cautiously, their voices instinctively lowering whenever they came near him.

But at that moment, something happened that no one had expected.

From where he stood, Taehyung noticed the gates of the campus—the shared entrance between the university and secondary-school buildings—opening.

A new student had just entered.

His eyes stopped on her.

For the first time in a long while, his mind was not occupied by a deal, an enemy, or anyone from his family.

It was occupied by someone whose name he didn't even know.

His heart skipped.

Once.

Then twice.

Then its rhythm suddenly quickened, pounding so hard against his ribs that it felt as though his heart were trying to break free from his chest.

Taehyung slowly straightened away from the railing.

One of his friends noticed the change and stopped talking, but Taehyung's eyes remained fixed toward the entrance.

He didn't understand what was happening.

He was the man who never allowed anything to distract him...

Yet now, he couldn't look away.

He remained silent for several seconds.

Then the thought entered his mind—clear, strange, and unsettling even to him.

"Mine."

His expression froze.

He tried to dismiss it.

But it returned.

"Mine..."

Then again, more insistently.

"Mine... mine... mine"

He hadn't spoken to her.

He didn't know her name.

He knew absolutely nothing about her.

And yet, something dark within him had already made its decision before he could even think it through.

Taehyung lifted his gaze slightly, continuing to watch from a distance as the faintest hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

For the first time...

he wasn't the one who had chosen something.

His obsession had chosen for him.

He chose you without even knowing you; this obsession was enough when he saw your gentleness and tranquility.

Two days have passed

Contrary to what the students expected... you didn't talk to anyone, you didn't joke around, you were simply silent, walking by yourself, taking care of your things... amusing yourself with the phone, books, the doll, the juice... you were the epitome of gentleness and innocence

However, Taehyung was a predator who had defined his territory in front of the entire university and high school campus. Anyone who looked at him for more than two seconds would pay a heavy price, whether physical or psychological. ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

Taehyung was standing in the middle of the corridor, his back resting against the wall, while Sujun stood in front of him, studying the strange change that had come over him ever since you entered the campus.

Sujun spoke teasingly:

"Since when have you been this obsessed? You don't even know who she is."

Taehyung didn't answer.

He simply stared ahead with an unreadable expression.

Sujun continued:

"She might never be yours."

Silence.

Then he added:

"She might even have a boyfriend."

In the next second, Taehyung's anger ignited like burning embers.

He stepped toward Sujun, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him closer. His eyes turned frighteningly dark.

" Don't say that again."

Sujun froze.

Taehyung leaned closer.

"She is mine. Mine alone."

The corridor fell completely silent.

But suddenly...

Taehyung stopped.

Footsteps.

Light...

Soft...

Hesitant.

His eyes lifted toward the end of the corridor.

They weren't the footsteps of the principal.

And they weren't the footsteps of an ordinary student.

They were yours.

Within a second, Taehyung released Sujun's collar and pushed him away.

He raised one hand, silently ordering everyone to remain quiet.

" Nobody speaks."

His friends exchanged confused looks.

"And act normally."

Then he added more firmly:

" No one does anything that might scare her."

The man everyone was used to fearing...

was now trying to appear less frightening.

Not because he was afraid.

But because he wasn't ready for you to be afraid of him.

Not yet.

Your footsteps drew closer.

Taehyung remained perfectly still, watching the corridor in silence until you appeared before him.

And then, in a moment no one expected...

You collided with him.

Taehyung reacted instinctively, reaching out to catch you before you could fall.

But the force of the collision threw him off balance as well.

Within a moment...

You both fell to the floor.

Silence.

Complete silence.

Even Sujun and Taehyung's friends froze where they stood, unable to believe what had just happened.

As for Taehyung...

He remained stunned for several seconds by the situation itself.

The man who had been gripping Sujun's collar and commanding the entire corridor with a single look...

was now sitting on the floor after you had collided with him.

He slowly lifted his eyes.

And for the first time in a very long time...

he couldn't find the right words.

But one thing was unmistakable in his eyes.

He could no longer ignore you ، Not ever.
