《One-Eighty || Taekook》Chapter 26
Advertisement
Yet again Taehyung was standing next to the coffee machine in Jungkook's office. The brown haired boy had been asked to serve Jungkook's closest men once again during a meeting and thus the young lawyer was doing exactly that. The boy was feeling a lot more at ease then the last time he had been serving during one of Jungkook's meetings. However that was probably because of the fact that he actually knew the people who were sitting around the table this time. Sure Taehyung knew some of the men beter that others but at least he felt save enough to serve all of them. These men all had their own lovers except for Jungkook which meant that they would definitely not go after him.
"So has anyone found Sehun's location?" Jungkook spoke loudly, a stressed tone lacing his voice. "Or have you still done absolutely nothing I've asked of you guys?" The ravenette continued while his face looked pretty stressed. The boy had been on edge all day today and while Taehyung had tried his best to stay as far away from the mafia boss as possible he knew the bomb was going to explode soon. Jungkook needed someone to project his anger on and judging from the look on the boy's face that person were gonna be his closest men.
"We've been trying to get some information through our allies but it seems like nobody knows anything." Yoongi calmly spoke, clearly unbothered by the look on his boss' face. Yoongi had known the younger boy for most of his life and by now he knew pretty well how the younger acted in certain situations. There was no way to prevent Jungkook from exploding so he wasn't going to try.
"I've been looking in the area using multiple drones but it seems like this old factory isn't as close as Kai described it to be." Namjoon spoke once Yoongi was finished. Namjoon had truly tried his best to find the place but his options were limited. Going out to look for the old factory by himself was pretty dangerous and Jungkook would have never allowed it in the first place. The blue haired boy had looked everywhere around Seoul with his drones but up until now he had gotten nothing.

A loud sigh left Jungkook's mouth and he closed his eyes. Of fucking course his men hadn't found anything yet. On the one day he wanted to kill his brother more than anything he had to sit back and do nothing. Sure, if Jungkook had been reasonable he had understood why his men hadn't found the place yet. Seoul was huge and looking for a certain place could take up to a few months before you would find it. However today he wasn't reasonable, he was pissed as fuck. He had been in a bad mood all day and he wanted to release his anger, preferably on Sehun. After all he was the one responsible for his bad mood anyway.
"Jimin tell me you have something." Jungkook spoke loudly, an annoyed look visible on the boy's face. The mafia boss had asked Jimin to make the people under his department look for the place as well. Ofcourse the blonde haired boy had immediately ordered all the girls and boys under him to use their charms to their advantage and try to get some information but it had been to no use. None of them had been succesfull and thus the blonde boy shook his head softly, knowing damn well this was probably the last thing Jungkook needed before he would explode.
"CAN YOU ALL ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING RIGHT?" The ravenette screamed angrily while slapping both his hands on the table. "I ASK ONE FUCKING THING FROM YOU ALL AND YOU STILL MANAGE TO FUCK IT UP." The mafia boss shouted before standing up from his chair and walking towards the exit of his office. On his way out the ex-prisoner loudly slammed the door close before an awkward silence filled the whole room. All boys didn't say anything while a tense antmosphere filled the room.
However it didn't take long for Yoongi to lay both his hands on the table before taking over from where Jungkook left off. "Right, I want you all to continue looking for the place." The silver haired boy spoke before looking at the other men in the room. "Keep doing what you guys were doing and immediatley inform Jungkook whenever you even think you've found something."

Jin suddenly began to laugh sarcastically before standing up, an angry look on his face. "Are we seriously going to ignore the fact that our friend just walked out of that door while he was clearly upset?" The purple haired boy said, disbelief clearly lacing his voice.
Yoongi softly sighed before shaking his head. "Ofcourse not but you know as well as I do that if any of us goes to comfort him now it will only result in him getting even more upset." The silver haired boy spoke calmly. Yoongi was like calmness itself and if he said anything it most of the times meant that he was right. If the boy wasn't sure of what he wanted to say he wouldn't have opened his mouth to begin with.
"He will get upset if any of us goes to talk to him but what if we will send Taehyung?" Hoseok suddenly says while a big grin began to form onto the red haired boy's face. Immediately the blonde looked up upon hearing his name, a confused look visible on his face. They were joking right? The young lawyer had done his best to avoid Jungkook all day and now these people were going to send him to talk to the ravenette? Did they want him to die?
Jimin looked at his brown haired friend before he looked over to were Jin was sitting. Both boys were supporting a small grin on their faces and immediately they stood up and walked over towards were Taehyung was standing. Jungkook clearly had a soft spot for this brown haired boy and thus it was his time to shine. No way Jungkook would shout at Taehyung..or at least they hoped he wouldn't.
"Tae baby, we need you to do something for us okay?" Jimin began to speak once he reached Taehyung. Immediately the boy felt the other two slighlty push him towards the table where the other men were sitting and before the brown haired boy knew it he was placed on one of the chairs.
Jin took place next to the cleaner before immediately turning his way. "Listen Tae, you've probably noticed how Jungkook has been moody all day right?" The purple haired boy began to speak while looking at the brown haired boy next to him in order to make sure he understood everything the older boy was telling him.
Softly Taehyung nodded. How could he not have noticed? This morning the young lawyer had started with cleaning the mafia boss' office and even then the ravenette had been scolding everyone that came near him.
"There is a reason for his behaviour today." Jin then continued while a soft sigh left the older boy's mouth. Jin really felt sad for how the youngest of them all must be feeling right now. Jungkook's whole life had been ripped apart percisely two years ago and it was as clear as crystal that the boy was having a hard time with it.
"Two years ago Jungkook's father got murdered by Jungkook's older brother, Sehun." The purple haired boy softly said while a hint of anger could be spotted in his eyes. Everyone in this room except for Taehyung wanted revenge for what Sehun had done. Jungkook's father had been nothing but a good boss towards all of them and yet he had been betrayed by his eldest son.
"Jungkook and his father were very close and thus since today is the anniversary of his death Jungkook is not quite himself." The oldest of them all explained towards Taehyung, who nodded in response. A shocked look was visible on the boy's face and he started to feel sad for the ravenette. Taehyung hadn't known about the passing of Jungkook's father and how his brother had been responsible for it. Ofcourse now the brown haired boy understood why Jungkook had been acting like he had been doing the whole day.
"Can you please try to talk to him?" Jimin then added, a pleading sound lacing his voice. The blonde haired boy looked at Taehyung with hope in his eyes. The young lawyer was their only hope. Slowly Taehyung started to nod before a small smile made it's way onto his face.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
