Silent Pain [Taekookgukkkook] ~ Chapter 17 ~

~ Chapter 17 ~

Kim Taehyung

(I knew that guy was different from the start.)

Kim Taehyung

(The pain of his rejection only lasted 3 seconds.)

Downstairs, Jaekook and Jungkook began to grow impatient.

Jeon Jaekook

We can't just sit around waiting for him all day.

Jaekook said, his irritation evident. Jungkook nodded in agreement.

Jeon Jungkook

Let's just make something ourselves.

Jungukk still indifferent, shrugged again.

Jeon Jungukk

Fine. Whatever.

As they rummaged through the pantry and fridge, trying to piece together a makeshift breakfast, their minds kept drifting back to Taehyung.

Despite their harsh treatment of him, there was a nagging sense of guilt, a faint realization that perhaps they had pushed him too far.

Back in his room, Taehyung could hear the sounds of his husbands clattering around in the kitchen.

He allowed himself a small, bittersweet smile. It was a tiny victory, but a victory nonetheless.

Today, he would not let them take everything from him. Today, he would stand his ground, even if it was in the quietest and most unassuming way possible.

The triplets, now seated around the table with their hastily prepared breakfast, were unusually silent. The absence of Taehyung's presence was palpable, a stark contrast to their usual mornings.

Each of them was lost in their own thoughts, grappling with the uncomfortable truth that their actions had consequences.

As they ate, their minds were filled with questions and a growing sense of unease.

Jeon Jungukk

(I shouldn't have done that to him...)

Jeon Jaekook

(Did I maybe...went too far? Nah, nah, nah. That filthy Omega deserves it for ruining my life. Now, I'm stuck with him. Fvck!)

Jeon Jungkook

(Was I too cold?...Whatever.)

They had always taken Taehyung's efforts for granted, never stopping to consider the toll it took on him.

But now, faced with the reality of his absence, they couldn't help but wonder if they had finally gone too far.

And so, in the quiet of that morning, the triplets experienced a rare moment of reflection, their thoughts turning to the man who had, despite everything, continued to care for them.

Taehyung, in his own small way, had begun to reclaim his power, leaving the triplets to face the uncomfortable truth of their actions.
