Let’s begin the journey!
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲 – 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭]
The city was alive with distant car horns and neon lights, but here, in the forgotten backstreets, danger lurked in the shadows. Rain drizzled from the sky, the scent of damp concrete thick in the air. The alley was eerily quiet, save for the hurried footsteps of a lone figure—an Omega, running for his life.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(panting) "Shìt… Not now. Not like this."
His lungs burned, legs aching as he darted between overflowing dumpsters and broken crates. The heavy footsteps behind him were closing in.
Can be anyone
Unknown Man: (mocking) "Come on, darling. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be."
A dark chuckle sent a shiver down his spine. The scent of Alpha aggression was suffocating, thick like smoke, making his stomach twist. His own scent—warm vanilla and wild honey—was a beacon in the darkness, calling predators to his.
He turned a sharp corner, but the slick pavement betrayed him. With a startled gasp, he slipped, landing hard against the wet ground.
A shadow loomed over him.
Can be anyone
Unknown Man: (grinning) "No more running, sweetheart."
Taehyung clenched his jaw, refusing to let fear consume him. His hand gripped the small switchblade he carried—he wouldn’t go down without a fight.
But before he could move, deep voice, smooth yet ice-cold, cut through the tense air.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(low, commanding) "Leave."
The air changed instantly.
The air changed instantly.The man before him stiffened, his cocky smirk vanishing. Taehyung lifted his gaze, his breath catching as a figure emerged from the darkness.
Tall, powerful, dressed in a sharp black suit that seemed untouched by the rain. His raven hair was slightly tousled, but it was his eyes—cold, brown, and unyielding—that sent chills through him.
The Alpha radiated danger. Authority. And something else—something primal.
Can be anyone
Unknown Man: (hesitant) "Who the hell are—"
Jungkook took a single step forward, his gaze locking onto the intruder like a predator sizing up its prey.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(calm, lethal) "You have three seconds to Run."
Then, without another word, the man bolted, disappearing into the darkness.
Taehyung exhaled shakily, his grip loosening on the blade.
After the man left, the place fell silent again
Until Taehyung spoke after calming himself down
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(breathing heavily) "What the hell just... happened? And who… the hell… are you?"
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(coldly) "You shouldn’t be out here alone."
Taehyung's exhaustion made him reckless.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(crossing arms) "Excuse me? I didn’t ask you to play hero, Mr. Mysterious."
Jungkook didn’t answer. Instead, his sharp eyes scanned Taehyung from head to toe, lingering just a second too long on the bruises forming on his arms. His jaw tightened.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(lowly) "You’re coming with me."
Taehyung scoffed, despite his shaking legs.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
I don’t even know you. Why would I—"
Before he could finish, the world tilted. Jungkook had lifted him effortlessly, cradling him as if he weighed nothing.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(wide-eyed) "Hey! Put me down, you arrogant—!"
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(calmly) "Struggle and I’ll drop you right here."
Taehyung snapped his mouth shut. He wasn’t in the mood to test if this man was serious.
.As Jungkook carried him out of the alley, Taehyung thought about the earlier incidents . A chill ran down his spine. He had been seconds away from—
He shook the thought away.
For now, he had bigger problems.
Like the fact that he was being carried away by a complete stranger.
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐨𝐤’𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 – 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭]
When Taehyung finally came to his senses, he realized he was in an unfamiliar place. The scent of expensive cologne, leather, and something undeniably Alpha filled the air. He sat up too fast and groaned—the bruises ached.
The room was enormous. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the glittering skyline of the city, casting soft reflections against sleek, modern furniture. He was sitting on a long leather couch, a glass of water placed neatly on the table in front of him.
And across the room, Jeon Jungkook leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching him.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"You’re awake."
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"You kidnapped me."
Jungkook’s lips quirked slightly, but his expression remained unreadable.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"I saved you."
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"You could’ve left me there."
Jungkook’s eyes darkened.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(quietly) "And what? Let you get hurt?"
Something about the way he said it sent a shiver down Taehyung’s spine. He narrowed his eyes, shifting uncomfortably.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Look, I appreciate the help, but I don’t need some overbearing Alpha thinking he can—"
Jungkook suddenly moved, closing the distance between them in a single step. Taehyung barely had time to react before the Alpha leaned down, his presence overwhelming
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(low, dangerous) "You don’t know who I am, do you?"
Taehyung swallowed hard but refused to back down.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(defiantly) "Should I?"
Jungkook let out a slow breath, then straightened his back.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(coldly) "Get some rest. I’ll have someone take you home in the morning."
Taehyung opened his mouth to protest, but Jungkook was already walking away, disappearing down the hallway without another word.
For some reason, an odd weight settled in Taehyung’s chest. He clenched his fists.
And why did he feel like this wasn’t the last time their paths would cross?

Episode 2: The Morning After
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐨𝐤’𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 – 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠]
The first thing Taehyung felt upon waking was warmth. The second was the dull ache in his arms. He blinked against the soft morning light filtering through the massive windows, the unfamiliar scent of leather and something distinctly Alpha lingering in the air.
His eyes snapped open as he shot up from the plush couch, heart hammering.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(muttering) "What the hell…?"
He glanced around, taking in the sheer luxury of the place. The high ceilings, the pristine glass walls, the minimal yet elegant décor—everything screamed wealth and power.
And then, his gaze landed on the man standing by the kitchen counter, stirring his coffee with an air of quiet dominance.
Unlike last night’s dark and brooding presence, he now stood dressed in an immaculately tailored suit, his sleeves rolled up just enough to reveal strong forearms. His sharp eyes flickered toward Taehyung, who was still sitting on the couch, hair messily tousled from sleep.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(calmly) "You're awake."
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(grumbling) "Did I die and wake up in an Alpha’s overpriced lair?"
Jungkook raised a brow but said nothing. Instead, he set his coffee down and walked toward him with measured steps.
The sheer presence of the man made Taehyung tense involuntarily.
Jungkook leaned down slightly, gaze unreadable.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"You should eat before you leave."
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(confused) "You’re… feeding me?"
Jungkook straightened, tilting his head slightly as if assessing him.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"You look like you need it."
Taehyung bristled immediately.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(huffing) "I’m perfectly fine, thanks."
Jungkook didn’t respond, but there was something in his gaze that lingered too long, as if he saw through Taehyung’s bravado.
Before Taehyung could fire back another retort, the front door opened, and a tall man with dark hair entered.
Kim Namjoon (Alpha)
(teasingly) "Well, well. What do we have here?"
Kim Namjoon – Jungkook’s childhood friend and Jeon Corporations’ legal advisor. Smart, calculating, and the only person who dared to tease the CEO without consequence.
Jungkook exhaled in mild exasperation.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"You’re early."
Namjoon smirked as he took in the sight of Taehyung, still half-wrapped in a blanket on the couch.
Kim Namjoon (Alpha)
"Did I interrupt something?"
Taehyung, who had been silently watching the interaction, crossed his arms.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"No. And who are you supposed to be?"
Kim Namjoon (Alpha)
"Kim Namjoon. Jungkook’s closest friend and the only one who can get away with annoying him."
Jungkook shot him a warning look, but Namjoon simply grinned before turning back to Taehyung.
Kim Namjoon (Alpha)
"And you are?"
Taehyung hesitated. He hadn’t exactly planned on making introductions, but something about Namjoon’s easygoing demeanor made it difficult to ignore him.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Kim Taehyung."
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"It’s not what you think."
Namjoon hummed, clearly unconvinced, but he let it go.
Taehyung took the opportunity to stretch before standing up, rolling his shoulders.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(casually) "Right. Well, I should probably go before I overstay my welcome."
Jungkook didn’t argue. Instead, he pulled out his phone and typed something. Moments later, a sleek black car pulled up in front of the building.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"The driver will take you home."
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Rich and controlling. You really know how to make an impression."
Jungkook ignored the jab and simply handed him a small card.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"If anyone bothers you again, call this number."
Taehyung stared at the card, then at Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(muttering) "Why do I feel like this isn’t the last time I’ll see you?"
Jungkook didn’t answer, but his gaze remained locked on Taehyung as he finally stepped out of the penthouse.
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐚𝐞𝐡𝐲𝐮𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐀𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠]
The tiny apartment smelled like fresh coffee and lavender-scented candles. It wasn’t much—just a small space with a second-hand couch and a few framed pictures—but it was his.
After coming back to his apartment Taehyung has't been able to stop himself from thinking about the earlier words of Jungkook.
Who exactly was Jeon Jungkook?
And why did he feel like he had just stepped into something far bigger than he could understand?
As he stood near the window, looking out at the city, a small smirk played on his lips.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Guess I'll have to find out"

Episode 3: A New Challenge
Metaphorically Speaking 🎭🖋️
Hey! 😺
Metaphorically Speaking 🎭🖋️
Let's Begin!
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐉𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠]
Taehyung took a deep breath as he stood before the towering glass building of Jeon Corporations. The sunlight reflected off its pristine surface, making it look even more intimidating.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"What am I doing here?" (he thought, but his resolve remained firm).
Jungkook had warned him to stay away but he's here doing the exact opposite.
After last night’s encounter, he had done some research. Jeon Jungkook was not just some wealthy Alpha—he was the CEO of one of the biggest corporations in the country. And Taehyung? He was about to step right into his world.
With squared shoulders, he entered the lobby. The interior was sleek and modern, with employees dressed in professional attire moving efficiently around him.
As soon as he walked in, whispers started.
Can be anyone
Employee 1: (whispering) "Who's that? A new hire?"
Can be anyone
Employee 2: "Did you see his face? He looks like he belongs in a magazine."
Can be anyone
Employee 3: (lowering their voice) "I heard he came here directly for an interview with the higher-ups. How did he get in so easily?"
Can be anyone
Employee 4: "Maybe he has connections? He doesn’t look like an ordinary applicant."
Taehyung pretended not to hear them, keeping his expression neutral as he approached the reception desk.
Can be anyone
Receptionist: (politely) "Good morning. How may I help you?"
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"I’m here for my first day. Kim Taehyung, newly appointed assistant in the marketing department."
The receptionist quickly checked the records before nodding.
Can be anyone
Receptionist: "Yes, Mr. Kim. Welcome to Jeon Corporations. Your department manager will be here shortly to escort you."
Taehyung thanked her and stepped aside, but the murmurs around him didn’t die down.
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐂𝐄𝐎'𝐬 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 – 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞]
Jeon Jungkook stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, arms crossed as he stared down at the city below. His sharp eyes darkened slightly as he recalled the file he had seen earlier that morning
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Kim Taehyung. Hired in the marketing department."
He exhaled slowly, running a hand through his dark hair.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Of all places, why here?"
A soft knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Come in."
The door opened, and Lee Minji, his secretary, stepped inside with her usual poised demeanor.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
(smiling) "Good morning, Mr. Jeon. Your schedule for today is ready, and I also wanted to inform you that the new employee… Kim Taehyung… has arrived."
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(calmly) "I’m aware."
Minji hesitated for a brief moment before stepping closer.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
"It’s… surprising. He’s not exactly the type of person who usually applies here."
Her tone held curiosity—and something else. Jungkook knew Minji had always admired him, though she never overstepped boundaries. But right now, his attention was elsewhere.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Keep an eye on him."
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
"You’re… concerned about him?"
Jungkook didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the window, expression unreadable.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Just do it."
Minji’s lips pressed together before she nodded.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
(softly) "Understood."
As soon as she left, Jungkook sat down at his desk, fingers drumming against the polished surface.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Kim Taehyung… what exactly are you up to?"
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧]
Taehyung had been assigned a desk near the large windows, and as much as he wanted to focus on his work, he couldn’t ignore the glances and hushed whispers from his coworkers.
Can be anyone
Coworker 1: (whispering) "He's really working here? He looks too bold to be in marketing."
Can be anyone
Coworker 2: "Did you see how the CEO reacted when he saw him earlier? It was brief, but his expression changed."
Can be anyone
Coworker 3: (smirking) "Maybe he’s someone special to Mr. Jeon?"
Taehyung resisted the urge to roll his eyes at their gossip and remained composed. He had dealt with worse.
Just as he was settling in, a familiar voice made him look up.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
(smiling) "Mr. Kim, welcome to Jeon Corporations."
She was dressed elegantly, her confidence fitting for someone who worked closely with Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(smiling politely) "Thank you, Miss Lee."
Minji tilted her head, eyes observing him closely.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
"You’re quite bold to work here. Most newcomers are too intimidated by Mr. Jeon’s presence."
Taehyung chuckled lightly.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Should I be scared?"
Minji’s smile didn’t waver, but there was something calculating in her gaze.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
"That depends. Mr. Jeon isn’t fond of unnecessary distractions."
Taehyung met her gaze head-on.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Good thing I’m here to work, not to be a distraction."
Minji’s lips curled slightly, but she said nothing else before walking away.
As she disappeared down the hall, Taehyung exhaled.
It was only his first day, and he had already stepped into dangerous territory.
But he wasn’t leaving. Not yet.
Jungkook may have warned him to stay away.
But Taehyung had never been good at following warnings.
