TaeKook: Endless Love ~
Chapter 1
Late at night, the living room of the grand Kim mansion glowed with soft golden lights. Chandeliers sparkled overhead, their crystal drops catching the warm light as shadows danced on the ivory walls. Plush velvet sofas in deep wine and gold were arranged around a marble center table where delicate porcelain teacups sat steaming.
A large fireplace crackled gently in the background, casting a comforting warmth through the expansive space. Tall windows overlooked the moonlit gardens, their sheer curtains swaying slightly with the breeze that slipped through the gaps.
All the family members were seated together after dinner, sipping tea in silence — a rare moment of calm that didn’t last long.
Mrs. Kim — Kim Ji-eun, elegant and stern, the matriarch of the Kim household, broke the quiet, her voice sharp with frustration.
Kim Ji-eun {Rare Omega}
Taehyung, that was the tenth blind date I arranged for you — and you ditched this one too!
Across the room, Kim Namjoon, cousin to Kim Taehyung and Kim Jimin, shook his head with a sigh, while his wife exchanged a knowing glance with him.
Kim Jong-suk, the stoic chairman of the Kim empire and husband of Ji-eun, remained silent as always, sipping his tea calmly, his sharp eyes betraying nothing.
On the other side of the room, Taehyung, the eldest son — poised yet distant in a tailored black silk shirt, sat unfazed. His eyes were cold, but his voice held a calm finality.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
(coldly) Eomma, stop setting me up with blind dates. I’m not interested.
Kim Ji-eun {Rare Omega}
Then what are you even interested in?
Her voice cracked, a mix of disappointment and concern. She had long accepted that her son might be a lone wolf, an enigma who had yet to find — or perhaps never would find — his fated omega. Deep down, it troubled her, but she masked it with frustration.
Jimin, the younger son, looked at his brother with open curiosity. He’d never seen Taehyung with any omegas, never heard him mention anyone — and yet there was something unreadable in his eyes.
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
Hyung… have you ever loved someone?
The room fell still. Even the flicker of the fireplace seemed to pause.
Taehyung’s chest tightened. His younger brother’s innocent question landed like a stone in still water. He could feel every pair of eyes turning to him, but none of them knew. None of them knew about the ache in his chest… about the silent heart that beat for him —
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
💭 My Koo
His fingers tightened around the teacup, and his gaze drifted, far away from the ornate room and its golden lights… to a quiet place where that delicate smile lived in his memory. The omega he could never speak of. The one who never laughed loudly. The one whose silence echoed louder than any voice. The one whose existence alone kept him breathing.
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
(softly) Hyung? Where are you lost? Was there someone?
Taehyung blinked, slowly returning to the present. His eyes, once cold and distant, now shimmered with something raw — something real.
A rare, gentle smile curved his lips. He spoke softly after so many years.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
I never loved in the past tense.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
I love — still, now, always.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
Each breath I take… every step I walk… even the smallest bite I eat — it’s all for him.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
I live… because somewhere in this world…
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
He simply exists.
And for a moment, silence fell again — not heavy, but tender. A silence full of things unspoken, yet deeply felt.
Chapter 2
The weight of Taehyung’s words hung in the air like a delicate thread of smoke — fragile, haunting, and laced with unshed emotions. The crackle of the fireplace resumed in the quiet, but no one spoke right away.
Jimin stared at his brother, lips slightly parted. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.
He had never seen Taehyung like this.
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
💭 Not the cold CEO.
Not the aloof eldest son.
But a man in love. Deeply. Quietly. Painfully.
Jimin asked softly, almost in a whisper.
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
Hyung… who is he? What is his name?
Ji-eun stared at her son, the weight of his words still settling in her chest. She had never seen him like this — not as a powerful heir, not as a businessman, not as a stubborn enigma who defied every blind date she arranged — but as a man quietly holding onto love, tender and raw.
Namjoon and Seokjin, seated side by side, exchanged a knowing glance. The corners of their lips lifted into small, warm smiles — not of amusement, but of quiet understanding.
They had known all along.
They had been there in the same college, had seen the shift in Taehyung — the day his gaze landed on someone and never wandered again. They had watched him fall, silently and irrevocably, for a boy who didn’t even speak a word to him. And they had watched him keep that feeling buried, untouched.
Namjoon leaned back with a soft sigh, his hand resting lightly on Seokjin’s. He didn’t speak — he didn’t need to.
Across from them, Kim Jong-suk, the usually unreadable patriarch, continued sipping his tea in calm silence. His eyes, however, were focused on Taehyung — sharp, observant, but not cold. He wasn’t surprised. Not in the slightest.
Instead, he simply waited — allowing his son the space to speak, to finally give voice to the emotions he had buried for years.
Taehyung sat still, but something had shifted. The tension in his shoulders eased, his voice growing softer, eyes distant yet shining with warmth as a small, wistful smile curved his lips.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
His name is… Jungkook. He was a junior of ours… back in college.
He chuckled faintly, but it was hollow, bittersweet — a sound that echoed with longing.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
I don’t know where he is now… or what he’s doing... if he's okay, if he's still as quiet, still as gentle...
The sadness in his voice was like a soft ache — quiet but sharp. It wasn’t just the pain of a love lost. It was the ache of never having it in the first place… and loving anyway. Ji-eun’s eyes widened slightly. She hadn’t seen Taehyung look like this in years — not since he was a boy chasing after stars with stories in his eyes. There was a tightness in her throat she hadn’t expected. Not disappointment. Not confusion.
Just a mother’s ache — at seeing her child sad, vulnerable, and still in love.
Jimin was staring at him, mouth slightly open.
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
💭 Hyung...
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
💭 He’s really in love. And he looks... broken.
Something inside Jimin twisted at the sight. His brother, the calm, untouchable Taehyung, looked more human — and more hurt — than ever before.
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
You… really miss him, don’t you?
Taehyung didn’t answer immediately. He looked down at his tea, now cold. The firelight cast soft shadows on his face as he spoke — barely above a whisper.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
Every day. Every moment.
And in that moment, no one interrupted.
No one judged.
The only sounds in the room were the soft crackling of firewood… and the echo of a name that still lived in Taehyung’s heart.
Chapter 3
Evening descended over Seoul like melted gold, painting the cityscape in streaks of amber and gray. High above it all — on the top floor of the tallest building in South Korea — Kim Taehyung sat alone in his vast, glass-walled office, hunched over a stack of business proposals.
The lights inside were warm but dim, casting long shadows across the polished floor and reflecting faintly in the windows behind him, where the city lights blinked like faraway stars.
He wasn’t working because he had to. He was working because he couldn’t bear to stop.
Because the moment he paused — even for a breath — his thoughts would drift.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
💭 My Koo.
No matter how deeply he buried himself in deadlines, numbers, and expansion plans, Jungkook lived in every silence between his thoughts. In every heartbeat. Every sigh. Every space that wasn’t filled with noise.
His pen stilled over a document as a sudden, loud BANG! interrupted the quiet. The door to his office burst open.
Startled, Taehyung looked up sharply, his cold eyes narrowing — only to see his mother, brothers, and brother-in-law standing in the doorway, slightly breathless and clearly determined.
He leaned back in his chair slowly, one brow arching in amused irritation.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
What are you all doing here?
His voice was cold, composed — but the crease between his brows gave him away. Ji-eun, usually so commanding, suddenly looked awkward, fiddling with her fingers, unsure how to even begin.
But Jimin had no such hesitation. He blurted out--
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
Hyung, we want to know how you met him — how you fell in love with him — why didn’t you woo him?! And why can’t you just find him now and woo him properly?!
The words spilled out in one breath before Seokjin, laughing softly, clamped a hand over Jimin’s mouth from behind.
Kim Seokjin {Rare Omega}
Taehyung… Aunt Ji-eun and Chim just want to know your love story.
Jimin nodded frantically behind Seokjin’s hand while Ji-eun gave her eldest son a small, hesitant smile.
Kim Ji-eun {Rare Omega}
We want to understand. Why your love story… failed.
Her voice cracked slightly at the word failed, as if she didn’t want to believe it either.
He leaned back further in his leather chair, eyes lifting to the city outside — glowing, endless, lonely.
Then he looked back at the family he had tried so hard to keep at a distance.
And for the first time… he let the walls down a little.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
I met him half a year after our graduation —when we were doing an extra course.
The afternoon sun poured gently through the large glass windows of the university canteen, bathing the space in a soft golden glow. The place was buzzing with chatter and clinking cutlery, filled with students winding down after their exams.
At one of the quieter corners, three figures sat together — Kim Taehyung, Kim Namjoon, and Kim Seokjin — a group both respected and feared in the university, known for their legacy, power, and intelligence.
Seokjin, lively and dramatic as always, was passionately debating about a recent film adaptation while Namjoon, ever the logical one, responded thoughtfully, often with a small smile and a soft voice,
Kim Namjoon {True blood alpha}
That’s not how it works, hyung.
In contrast, Taehyung remained mostly silent, his sharp features impassive, answering only when directly addressed. He sat tall and poised, quietly chewing on a piece of rice cake, his presence cold yet strangely captivating — even in college, he never spoke more than needed.
Suddenly, a familiar voice cut through the air. Eunwoo — one of their classmates, an alpha known as much for his charm as for his love of gossip — pulled up a chair and sat down uninvited.
Cha Eunwoo {Dominant Alpha}
(grinning) Did you guys hear? There’s a new transfer student in the Political Science department. Final year.
Taehyung didn’t even look up, his gaze still fixed on the half-eaten kimbap on his tray. But Namjoon and Seokjin perked up, curiosity flickering in their eyes.
Park Seokjin {Rare Omega}
In the middle of the year? That’s… unusual.
Kim Namjoon {True blood alpha}
(nodding) He must be extremely talented to get admitted now. You know how selective this university is.
He shrugged and popped a rice cracker into his mouth, already losing interest in the conversation.
Park Seokjin {Rare Omega}
So who is he? What’s his name? Did you see him?
Eunwoo leaned forward, but Namjoon immediately shot him a warning glare. Eunwoo chuckled awkwardly and sat back.
Cha Eunwoo {Dominant Alpha}
Jeon Jungkook. Apparently, he’s a very, very beautiful omega — everyone in the department is already talking about him. They’re calling him the next campus belle.
Taehyung’s hand paused slightly over his drink, but he still didn’t lift his gaze. The name echoed faintly in his mind. Unfamiliar… yet it lingered.
Park Seokjin {Rare Omega}
(raising a brow) So, you haven’t seen him?
Cha Eunwoo {Dominant Alpha}
Just wait till you do. He’s seriously something else. Very beautiful omega. Everyone’s already obsessed.
Park Seokjin {Rare Omega}
(dryly) So, you have seen him.
Eunwoo nodded proudly, like he had just shared a well-guarded secret.
