Unspoken Pain
Taehyung stood outside Jungkook's closed door, hesitant to enter. Muffled sobs drifted through the wood, and Taehyung's heart twisted. Jungkook's voice was barely audible, but Taehyung's keen ears picked up every word.
Jeon Jungkook
He didn't even ask how I felt, how my health was then... I went there alone, I was in the hospital bed alone... The doctor removed the fetus, and still, my husband wasn't there.
Jungkook's words cracked between hiccups, his crying growing more intense.
Jeon Jungkook
I know Do Woo ssi hates me, but what have I ever done to Taehyung-ssi that he hated me too?
Taehyung's gut wrenched with guilt. He recalled his earlier reaction, his callous words.
He hadn't remembered when he impregnated Jungkook, but that was no excuse. Even if the baby wasn't his, he should have accepted it, offered comfort.
Taehyung turned away, unable to face Jungkook's pain. He returned to his room, lost in thought.
His mind replayed Jungkook's words, the hurt, and loneliness.
For the first time, Taehyung saw Jungkook's perspective – the isolation, the neglect.
Taehyung walked into Jungkook's room and asked
Kim Taehyung
Did you eat your meal?
Jungkook looked up, surprised by Taehyung's sudden arrival. But he stayed quiet, focusing on untangling his shoulder-length hair.
Kim Taehyung
Why don't you talk? Do you enjoy annoying me? Huh?
Jungkook kept his eyes on his hair, trying to fix the knots. He moved his hair to the left side, revealing his neck to Taehyung.
Taehyung's gaze dropped to Jungkook's neck, and he swallowed hard. He looked away, meeting Jungkook's reflection in the mirror.
Jungkook was frustrated – with his tangled hair, Taehyung's nagging, and his own poor health. He hadn't taken care of himself lately and had dark circles under his eyes. Since getting married, he'd become depressed and suicidàl, but nobody noticed.
Kim Taehyung
I'm asking you something, Jungkook.
Jungkook's patience snapped. He threw the comb across the room.
Taehyung thought Jungkook was throwing a tantrum at him. His face darkened with anger.
Striding over, Taehyung spun Jungkook's chair to face him. Jungkook's eyes locked onto Taehyung's.
Jungkook's voice barely rose above a whisper.
Jeon Jungkook
What do you want to know?
Taehyung's face inches from Jungkook's, their lips almost touching. Taehyung's gaze fixated on Jungkook's lips, his breathing uneven. He gulped.
Taehyung's eyes roamed Jungkook's face, taking in his beauty.
" So pretty,"
Taehyung thought
"I could die."
Meeting Jungkook's gaze, Taehyung's voice hardened.
Kim Taehyung
Answer me, then.
A sly smirk spread across Taehyung's face.
Kim Taehyung
Did you say that baby was mine because I'm an easy target?
Kim Taehyung
Do Woo wouldn't accept the baby, and Vincent wouldn't care, so you just dumped the news on me.
Taehyung's accusation cut deep.
Kim Taehyung
You wanted me to feel guilty when the baby wasn't even mine. Because I'm an easy target.
Jungkook's eyes widened, hurt and anger flashing across his face.
Jungkook's anger boiled over, his voice trembling.
Jeon Jungkook
Think whatever you want. Your accusations won't change anything. When you hate me so much, then why didn't you go against your grandfather and refuse to marry your mate – someone you have to share with your brothers? Aren't I just a filthy poor omega to you?
Jungkook's eyes turned red-rimmed, tears welling up.
Jeon Jungkook
What did you even give me except this room?
Jungkook spat, his words laced with venom.
Taehyung's expression remained unreadable, his gaze fixed on Jungkook.
Finally, he spoke, his voice low and even.
Kim Taehyung
You've learned how to talk back, huh?
Jungkook's face twisted in rage.
Jeon Jungkook
What did I even do?
He hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.
Taehyung's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched.
Kim Taehyung
You dared to question me, to defy me
He said, his tone dripping with warning.
Jungkook's chest heaved, his breaths coming in short gasps.
Jeon Jungkook
I'm your mate, not your servant
Taehyung's smirk twisted.
Kim Taehyung
Well, you're still a servant, working for us, having meals with them.
His gaze shifted, then snapped back to Jungkook. Taehyung's grip on the dressing chair tightened, his knuckles white.
Jungkook felt trapped, caged between Taehyung's arms.
Kim Taehyung
You poor, filthy piece of shit all of you are the same
Kim Taehyung
What did you think? You became our mate, and we'd give you princess treatment? When you didn't get it, you got upset, that's why you said, 'What did I even give you?'
Jungkook's frustration boiled over.
Jeon Jungkook
What are you even talking about, Taehyung-ssi? Are you in the mood to fight me without any valid reason?
He screamed, tears streaming down his face.
Jeon Jungkook
I fùcking lost my first baby! My first baby! Do you get that? If it was one of your brothers', I wouldn't go to your room and tell you that news. The day before yesterday was the hardest day for me. For God's sake, spare me!
Jungkook buried his face in his palms, sobbing uncontrollably.
Jeon Jungkook
You forgot you impregnated me, that's okay, but stop projecting. I didn't tell you for your sympathy, nor to make you feel guilty or take revenge because you didn't give princess treatment to a filthy omega like me.
Taehyung's expression faltered, his eyes widening.
He took a step back, releasing the chair.
Taehyung's thoughts are interrupted by the doctor's gentle voice.
" Taehyung-ssi, your husband is sleeping now. Don't make him talk too much. He didn't even finish his meal. He's in extreme physical pain."
Taehyung nods, concern etched on his face.
Kim Taehyung
When can I take him home?
The doctor's expression turns serious.
" Three to four days later, but he needs rest and proper care. No physical intimacy for the next eight weeks."
Taehyung nods, his mind racing. He knows their mother will make Jungkook's life hell, but Jungkook needs rest and care. Taehyung worries about Do Woo, who might get horńy or seek revenge against Jungkook. Anytime he can get physically involved with Jungkook even though Jungkook is in this condition.
As a gynecologist and omega specialist, Do Woo should know better, but when it comes to Jungkook, he becomes a different person – a beast.
Taehyung's thoughts turn to his upcoming trip. He has to leave next week for a guest lecture at a foreign university. Who will take care of Jungkook then?
He glances at Jungkook, sleeping peacefully in the hospital bed. Taehyung's takes deep breath, he must ensure Jungkook's safety and well-being.
Kim Taehyung
I'll arrange for a nurse
Taehyung decides, making a mental note.
Taehyung dials his youngest brother's number, and Vincent answers on the first ring.
Kim Taehyung
Where are you?
Kim Vincent
I'm at 'Eclipse Club'. They're having a New Year's party today, 1st January afterall
Taehyung rubs his temple, frustration creeping in.
Kim Taehyung
For God's sake, Vinnie, you're 39. How long will you act like a teenager?
Vincent clicks his tongue in annoyance.
Kim Vincent
What does partying have to do with age? I earn enough to buy this entire club! And it's not even our family's money.
Taehyung isn't in the mood to argue.
Kim Taehyung
Listen, I need you to take Jungkook to your penthouse.
Vincent screams from the other end of the phone
Kim Vincent
What? Hell no!
Taehyung's tone turns serious.
Kim Taehyung
Jungkook is your mate too. Don't come to him running while having a rut and your body rejects other omegas' pheromones.
Taehyung pauses, choosing his words carefully.
Kim Taehyung
Jungkook was once pregnant with ... and lost the child.
He stops himself, remembering the secret only he and Jungkook share.
Vincent's curiosity piques.
Kim Vincent
Jungkook was once pregnant with...? What did you say?
Kim Taehyung
Nothing, I meant he was pregnant and lost the child. Vinnie, you know Mother will make his life miserable. You don't stay at the main house, and Do Woo can get physically involved with him anytime because he becomes a beast when it comes to Jungkook. And I'll leave next week for a lecture. Please, Vinnie, just keep him with you for a week, until I return. Then I'll shift him to my penthouse. And I'll arrange a male omega nurse for him who will stay with him 24/7.
Vincent's silence stretches across the line.
Kim Taehyung
Vinnie, listen, Jungkook needs proper rest, physically and emotionally. He can't get involved in any kind of physical intimacy before 8 weeks. I don't trust Do Woo. Even though he's a gynecologist and omega specialist, Mother will torture him with harsh words or make him eat servants' food, like he has been eating since he entered our home three years ago. Even after the wedding, nothing changed. The nurse will be with him 24/7, taking care of his meals. Just let him stay at your placee. I will take him to my plac-
Kim Vincent
No need to take him back to your penthouse. He can stay at my place for 8 to 9 weeks. Changing places frequently by traveling in a car can affect him, and he got stitches too.
Taehyung falls silent, then nods
Kim Taehyung
Okay, he will be discharged four days later. Prepare a room for him; the ambulance will drop him directly to your penthouse.
Kim Vincent
Okay, I'm going to the party. Talk to you later.
Taehyung sighs, relieved he didn't reveal the secret. Almost slipping up, he recalls Jungkook's previous pregnancies – first with his and Vincent's children, both ending in miscarriage. The family believes Jungkook's recent pregnancy was his first, carrying Do Woo's child, lost due to a stairway fall.
Kim Taehyung
What would Vinnie do with this information? Even if he becomes a father in the future, he'll remain careless.
