The Unwanted Mate Broken

The nurse swiftly exits the room as Taehyung enters, his presence commanding attention.

Taehyung's jaw clenches, his voice low and menacing.

Kim Taehyung

Were you badmouthing your own husbands in front of their employees? Giving them fodder for gossip?

Jungkook remains silent, his gaze cast downward.

Taehyung's irritation grows.

Kim Taehyung

I am asking you something, Jungkook!

Jungkook's voice is calm, detached.

Jeon Jungkook

You've listened to everything, then why are you even asking?

He gazes away, his eyes avoiding Taehyung's.

Taehyung's face twists in anger.

Kim Taehyung

Do you know I can throw you out of my life and home today, just like that?

His snarl deepens.

Kim Taehyung

You poor, filthy things are only good for being used and discarded.

Jungkook's expression remains impassive, but a faint tremble in his hands betrays his emotions. Taehyung's words are venomous and hurtful.

Jungkook remains silent, his gaze still averted.

Taehyung's irritation boils over.

Kim Taehyung

How are you so stubborn? Huh? I'm talking to you, Jungkook!

Jungkook's voice is barely audible, but his words cut deep.

Jeon Jungkook

My unborn needed her father's pheromone when I was pregnant, but none of you were there for her. If I'm mate to all three of you, I'm sure any of your pheromones would work, even if you or your youngest brother weren't the biological father.

Taehyung's face darkens, fury etched on his features.

Kim Taehyung

Why would I stay by your side when that's not even my child?

Jungkook's doe eyes finally meet Taehyung's, a piercing question in their depths.

Jeon Jungkook

If it were your child, would you stay by my side?

Taehyung's silence is oppressive, his mind racing.

He's never loved anyone before, only casual relationships and hookups. He doesn't want to love anyone, especially Jungkook, whom he must share with his brothers. Resentment simmers within him. He's always been the giving one, surrendering his favorite things to his brothers. Why would he share his partner now? Taehyung's eyes flash with defiance, but his voice remains trapped in his throat. Jungkook's gaze lingers, awaiting an answer that may never come.

Kim Taehyung

Yes, if it was my child, I would be by its side

Taehyung says, his voice firm.

Jungkook's expression crumples, tears welling up in his eyes.

Jeon Jungkook

Then, when I get pregnant with your two brothers' children – and I am sure I will, someday – those babies will die anyway, due to lack of pheromones, because you won't provide them, and I don't expect anything from Do Woo-ssi and Vincent-ssi.

Taehyung's face pales, his breath catching.

Jungkook's gaze locks onto Taehyung's, pleading.

Jeon Jungkook

Let me go, kick me out of your home, Taehyung-ssi. You know very well I miscarried twice before this incident – once with your child, and once with Vincent's.

Taehyung's eyes widen, shocked by the revelation.

Jeon Jungkook

I'm not a baby-making machine

Jungkook continues, his voice cracking.

Jeon Jungkook

Since other omegas can't bear your own children, you brothers treat me like a machine. Unfortunately, I couldn't give birth to any of your children.

Jungkook's words spill out, a torrent of pain.

Jeon Jungkook

First time, I got pregnant with your child, I didn't even know I was pregnant, and I lost it within two months. Nobody knows, but I told you back then, too. You thought it wasn't yours, so you didn't care.

Taehyung's face contorts, guilt and shock warring within.

Jeon Jungkook

Second time, I lost Vincent's child within five weeks – same scenario, again I told you, and of course, you ignored, because it wasn't convenient for you.

Jungkook's voice breaks, tears streaming down his face.

Jungkook's voice cracks, tears streaming down his face.

Jeon Jungkook

You somehow consider me a cheap prostitute, like your second brother. The difference between him and you is he calls me hò, slùt, or whòre if he ever needs to use my name, and you keep it in your mind.

Taehyung's face twists, hissing

Kim Taehyung

Stop assuming, Jungkook.

Jungkook's smile is laced with bitterness.

Jeon Jungkook

Then why didn't you care when I told you about my very first miscarriage? It was yours, for heaven's sake. Nobody knows, but you know that I lost my unborn for the third time yesterday, it was not the first time.

His voice breaks, sobs racking his body.

Jeon Jungkook

When, for the third time, this baby somehow survived, I got happier. At least this time, my baby would be born, I thought. For me, it was my baby, but for you and Vincent-ssi, it was Do Woo-ssi's child.

Jungkook's pain and anguish pour out.

Jeon Jungkook

Tell me, what shall I do if I have to soothe your aching body during ruts? If my pheromones can control your ruts, is it my fault? Is it my fault that, unfortunately, a filthy poor omega like me is your mate? Not just yours, but your brothers' too!

Jungkook's body shudders, his breathing faltering as he cries. A sharp pain stabs through his chest, and his vision blurs. Taehyung's expression transforms from anger to alarm. He panics, rushing to Jungkook's side.

Kim Taehyung

Jungkook, no, no, no...!

Taehyung calls out, grasping Jungkook's hands. He swiftly presses the emergency button, summoning the doctors.

Kim Taehyung

Help! We need medical assistance, now!

Taehyung shouts, his voice echoing through the hospital room.

Doctors rush in, swiftly surrounding Jungkook's bed. "We need to stabilize his pain and vital signs, now!" one of them orders.

A nurse quickly injects medication into Jungkook's IV, while another doctor examines his abdominal area. "Considering his C-section from last night, we need to monitor for any internal complications" the doctor advises.

Taehyung's eyes never leave Jungkook's face, his expression is unreadable

Taehyung's mind goes back to that day, a year and six to seven months ago. Jungkook stayed in his room the whole time. Usually, Taehyung saw Jungkook in the kitchen, garden, or balcony, or doing chores with the other servants. But for over a week, Jungkook was nowhere to be seen. It wasn't until late one night that Jungkook came back. The servants whispered about it. Taehyung's mother, stern and unforgiving, confronted Jungkook in the foyer.

Kim Eun Ji

Where have you been?

She demanded.

Jeon Jungkook

I went to the hospital

Jungkook replied softly.

But Taehyung's mother didn't care. She didn't ask what happened or how Jungkook was feeling.

Kim Eun Ji

Why did you spend so much time there?

She criticized.

Kim Eun Ji

Why didn't you come home earlier?

Her words cut deep, devoid of concern or empathy. Jungkook remained silent, his eyes downcast, as Taehyung's mother continued to scold.

Kim Eun Ji

You're so irresponsible, Jungkook. Always causing trouble.

Taehyung watches the memory unfold, feeling regret and guilt. His mother never asked about Jungkook's well-being. Never showed compassion. Only criticized and hurt. Now, seeing Jungkook's fragile form, Taehyung realizes how hurtful his family is.

Next day ( After Jungkook's first miscarriage )

Taehyung sat at his home office, focused on his work, when Jungkook entered. Taehyung's expression darkened.

Kim Taehyung

What happened, Jungkook?

Jungkook stared at the ground, his voice barely audible.

Jeon Jungkook

I had a miscarriage yesterday.

Taehyung's jaw clenched, unsure how to react.

Jungkook continued

Jeon Jungkook

It was yours.

Taehyung's response was immediate.

Kim Taehyung

How did you know it was mine? It could have been Do Woo's or Vincent's. Since you're not mine alone.

Jungkook bit his lower lip.

Jeon Jungkook

A mother knows who the father is. It was our first child, mine and yours, Taehyung-ssi.

His voice cracked.

Jeon Jungkook

I didn't expect sympathy, but denying our child's paternity...

Jungkook trailed off.

Taehyung asked, his tone detached

Kim Taehyung

When did that happen?

Jungkook met his gaze.

Jeon Jungkook

I was taking a shower, and my stomach started aching, so I went to the hospital immediately.

Taehyung pressed on.

Kim Taehyung

No, I asked when I impregnated you. We did it four months ago, Jungkook.

Kim Taehyung

How long were you pregnant?

Taehyung continued.

Tears filled Jungkook's eyes.

Jeon Jungkook

Two months. You did it in the morning. I was in your room—

Taehyung cut him off.

Kim Taehyung

I don't remember doing it two months ago—

Jungkook's voice rose to a scream, frustration and hurt boiling over.

Jeon Jungkook

You had a high fever! I was by your side entire night and day for four days straight! That's when you did it, for heaven's sake!

Jungkook took a deep breath, his words laced with pain.

Jeon Jungkook

Even if it wasn't yours, you should have accepted the baby as your own.

Jungkook turned and left, never looking back.

Taehyung slammed his fist on the desk, frustration exploding as he threw the paperweight at the wall, shattering it into pieces.
