Apex Academy
Taehyung’s night was turning out to be just peachy.
Kim Taehee
Sweetheart! (Yelling and going over to console her son.)
Taehyung felt his mothers soothing touch as she rubbed his back trying to calm him down.It was sorta helping him, but he was still reeling from all the information he had just heard.
He finally was able to calm himself down and he looked up into his father’s concerned eyes.
Kim Taehyung
So what, you’re sending me away? It was just a harmless prank! No one got hurt. (Exclaiming, his heart was threatening to beat out of his chest.)
Kim Taehee
It’s not like that Taehyung, there are bigger things in this world that you should experience, and I realized I’ve been holding you back from them. This will be good for you. (Reassuring him)
Kim Taehyung
So I’m just supposed to pack up everything and move to God knows where? Leave my home and all my friends. That hardly seems fair after one little mistake.
Taehyung didn’t understand. He made one little mistake, it didn’t make sense that they were just going to send him away. Basically change his whole life. He had just started his senior year. He didn’t want to leave.
Kim Woobin
Taehyung, it's not about what happened at the school. We forgive you for that. This is bigger than that. Don’t you want to go be with people who are like you? Learn better control of your powers and do something good with them?
Taehyung thought about it. He can’t lie that the whole premise of being a secret agent intrigued him. But moving away from everyone and starting over basically scared him.
He wasn’t one who welcomed change easily. But maybe his parents were right, maybe this would be a good experience for him. Plus he kinda wanted to see how cool his powers were compared to others.
Kim Taehyung
Okay so say I agree, what’s next?
Kim Woobin
Well it won’t matter if you agree or not, you’re going. (Giving his son a glare.)
Kim Taehyung
So I don’t even get a choice?
Kim Taehee
Sorry sweetie but no.
Taehyung threw his hands in the air. This was stupid. Now he doesn’t even get the choice. Whatever.
Kim Taehyung
Fine, so what’s next then?
Kim Yeongae
Maybe we should have this conversation somewhere more comfortable? Take it to the living room, Taehyungie might prefer that.
Taehyung appreciated his grandmother trying to make him feel better. But honestly anything anyone said right now wasn’t going to help.
Kim Taehee
That sounds like a good idea mother.
Kim Woobin
I’m going to go grab a few thing. It might make explaining everything to him easier.
Taehyung watched as his father left to go to his office. The rest of the family moved into the living room.
As they were walking to the living room his grandmother patted his back.
Kim Yeongae
It’ll be okay Aein. I trust your parents and I’ve seen what this Academy has to offer. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Taehyung smiled softly at her. She was always the one that understood him the most. So for his grandmother’s sake. He would hear them out.
Taehyung sat down on the ottoman while his mother sat in one of the two chairs. His grandmother and grandfather taking home on the small loveseat.
His father came back in setting a few folders on the table in front of him. Taehyung moved the ottoman closer to get a better look at what his father had shown him.
His father moved his chair to the other side of the table in order to present the information.
Kim Woobin
Your great grandfather started the Academy before you were born. My father took over after he died, and then I took over after your grandfather died.
Taehyung remembered the day his grandfather Kim had died. Taehyung hadn’t been too close with his grandfather on that side of the family. He’d never really been around much. But now it kind of made sense why. He couldn’t believe they had all been keeping this a secret from him.
Taehyung’s father opened up one of the files and displayed a building to him.
Kim Woobin
The building is stationed in the outskirts of Taiwan. It’s hidden from the outside world by a protective shield designed by one of our agents long ago.
Taehyung thought the building looked like it would house a team of secret agents. It was pretty dull on the outside and surrounded by a bunch of trees.
Kim Woobin
As I said before we currently have 6 teams of agents. Everyone lives, breaths, and eats here. It will be your new home until you either deactivate or die.
Taehyung thought it a bit morbid that one of the ways to get out would be to die. He couldn’t imagine dying at the ripe young age of just eighteen years old.
Kim Woobin
Your days will be full of training. When you’re not training you may have free time.
Kim Woobin
When your team gets called to a mission you will have a quick debriefing session to go over said mission. Any knowledge or training that must be done for that mission you will do prior to said mission. If you fail to do so, you will be asked to stay back.
Kim Woobin
Weakening your team is not something you want to do Taehyung.
Taehyung rolled his eyes knowing his father didn’t trust him to put every amount of effort into it that he could.
So maybe he didn’t have the best track record when it came to earning the man’s trust. But he’d try his best at least.
Kim Woobin
You and your team will live together in a common area. You’ll have your own room and bathroom, but share a living space and kitchen. We want the team to bond as much as they can, it makes for a better and more cohesive team.
At least he got his own room and bathroom. He couldn’t imagine sharing a room with someone else.
Kim Woobin
We advise against fraternizing with your own team, but we know it happens. If you are to join in a relationship with someone of the same team we must be notified.
Taehyung was definitely sure he wouldn’t have that issue. Seeing as his Omega had yet to take an interest in anything or anyone, he was starting to feel like his Omega wanted him to be alone forever.
He wasn’t opposed to finding an Alpha or Beta, maybe a Beta because Alpha’s tended to be a little too much for him sometimes.
Kim Woobin
I mean it Taehyung, if you so happen to want to date anyone from your team please come to me.
Kim Taehyung
What if I want to date someone not from my team? (Raising his eyebrow.)
Kim Woobin
Then I do not need to know, I just ask that you be careful.
Taehyung could still see the slight discomfort in his father’s features. He knew it was because his father didn’t like the idea of his only son dating. Let alone handing him off to some boy. Almost like he was a little protective over him in that sense. But like Taehyung said, they had a complicated relationship. So he really didn’t understand his father’s feelings.
Kim Taehee
He should focus on his training, not fraternizing with girls or boys.
Kim Yeongae
Come on now Taehee, he’s eighteen years old. He’s bound to find someone who peaks his interest. (Winking at her grandson.)
His grandmother had asked him about boys before. Asking him if his Omega liked anyone. But he’d always told her no. He knew she wanted him to find his person like her and his grandfather had.
Taehyung wasn’t in a rush though. He knew his Omega would let him know when someone compatible crossed his path.
Kim Woobin
Okay enough talk about boys, do you want to meet your team?
Kim Taehyung
I have one question first, why is there open spot?
He was curious. He had heard his mother asked about an open spot and when his father mentioned there was he had gotten sad.
Taehyung’s mother and father shared a glance. It seemed like they were both reluctant to talk about it.
Kim Taehee
He’ll find out eventually, you know people talk. (Shrugging her shoulders.)
Kim Woobin
(Sighing) I won’t go into too much detail as it’s not my story to tell. But one of the girls on the team was killed on a mission.
Taehyung wondered how many fatalities happened on these missions. But part of him didn’t want to know. It was probably better to be left in the dark.
Kim Taehyung
Okay, I was just curious. I’m sorry you lost someone.
Taehyung could tell his father had taken it hard. This was his team. I’m sure he was close to them.
Kim Woobin
Thank you. Alright let me introduce you to the team. (Opening the first folder.)
