Better Together (Taegguk)
01
Taehyung entered his home after a long day at work, exhausted but relieved to be back. At 24 years old, he is an Omega working as an art teacher at a local school.
As he stepped inside, he noticed an unusual number of shoes cluttering the shoe rack.
Kim Taehyung
(thinking) Are we having guests?
He walked into the living room, surprised to see unfamiliar faces sitting on the couches.
Their conversation halted as all eyes turned toward him. Before he could ask, his mother called out to him.
Mrs Kim
Taehyung, come meet the Han family—Mr. and Mrs. Han, and their ALPHA son, Han Haejun.
Still confused, Taehyung bowed politely, greeting them.
Kim Taehyung
Nice to meet you.
His mother leaned closer, whispering in his ear.
Mrs Kim
(whispering)Go to your room, change into something nicer, and come back quickly.
Taehyung raised an eyebrow in confusion, then the realization hit him like a truck—they are here marriage proposal.
He forced a tight-lipped smile, excused himself, and headed to his room, shutting the door with a bang.
Taehyung quickly freshened up and changed into a simple but presentable outfit.
Just as he finished, his brother-in-law, Jin, knocked and entered the room. Taehyung met his gaze through the mirror, looking helpless.
Kim SeokJin
I had no idea either. Mom arranged this out of nowhere.
Kim Taehyung
(sighing)I told her I don’t want to get married right now.
Kim Taehyung
Why can’t she understand something so simple?
He tried to suppress the anger bubbling up, knowing it wasn’t Jin’s fault.
Kim SeokJin
(sympathetic)There’s not much we can do now. They’re waiting downstairs.
Kim SeokJin
Look, it’s not like mom’s going to force you to say yes. Just meet them, get it over with.
Reluctantly, Taehyung nodded and followed Jin downstairs.
In the living room, his mother smiled brightly and motioned for him to sit beside her.
Mrs Kim
Come, Taehyung, sit here.
Taehyung sat down, feeling the weight of all eyes on him. Mrs. Han quickly complimented him.
Mrs. Han: You’re even more handsome in person! Such a beautiful Omega.
Taehyung felt Haejun’s eyes on him, staring shamelessly, which made him uncomfortable. He glared at Haejun, and the Alpha quickly averted his gaze.
Mrs. Han:So, you’re a teacher at school?
Mrs. Han: What subject do you teach?
The conversation felt tedious—these were questions his mother could have easily answered for them.
Mrs. Han:My son works at an IT company. He graduated from a prestigious university.
Taehyung stayed silent, unsure of what to say. It wasn’t like he was handing out awards for accomplishments. Mrs. Han continued, clearly proud.
Mrs. Han: Haejun gets so many marriage proposals, but we wanted someone truly elegant and beautiful for him. Taehyung, you’re perfect for my son. They’d make such a wonderful couple, don’t you think?
She looked over at her husband, who merely nodded, disinterested.
Kim Taehyung
(thinking)This is going downhill fast…
Mrs. Han: (smiling)So, Haejun, do you like Taehyung?
Haejun: (nodding)Yes, mom.
Mrs. Han: (clapping her hands) Perfect! Taeyeon, should we move forward with the engagement?
Taehyung’s heart sank as the conversation escalated far quicker than he anticipated. He glanced at his mother, waiting for her response, unsure of what to do next.
