My Shy Little Omega! (Taekook) Episode 03

•

The soft click of polished leather shoes echoed through the grand halls of the Kim Enterprises building as Kim Taehyung, the 28-year-old CEO, strode confidently toward his office.

Dressed in a sharp, tailored black suit, his broad shoulders and tall frame exuded authority.

His perfectly styled hair and piercing eyes gave him a striking appearance, one that often left people either in awe or intimidated.

Taehyung was the epitome of success, having taken over his family’s business at a young age.

He had expanded the company, solidifying its place as one of the top conglomerates in the country.

Yet, beneath his cold, composed exterior lay a man who carried the weight of countless responsibilities.

As he settled into his leather chair, his assistant, Jimin, entered the room with a stack of files.

Park Jimin

Morning, boss. Your schedule for the day is packed as usual. (Jimin teased, placing the files on the desk)

Taehyung smirked faintly.

Kim Taehyung (Alpha)

When is it not, Jimin?

Jimin chuckled before hesitating, his expression turning more serious.

Park Jimin

By the way, your parents called.

Park Jimin

They mentioned something about a marriage proposal.

Taehyung’s hand, which had been reaching for his coffee, paused mid-air. He raised an eyebrow.

Kim Taehyung (Alpha)

Marriage proposal? Since when are they arranging my life like this?

Park Jimin

Don’t look at me. I’m just the messenger. (Jimin replied with a playful shrug)

Taehyung sighed, leaning back in his chair.

He loved his parents and respected their wishes, but the idea of an arranged marriage felt outdated to him.

Later that evening, Taehyung arrived at his family’s sprawling estate, where his mother, Kim Hye-Jin, greeted him with a warm smile.

Kim Hye-Jin (Mrs. Kim)

Taehyung-ah, you’re here! Come, sit.

Kim Hye-Jin (Mrs. Kim)

We have something important to discuss. (she said, motioning for him to join her in the living room)

His father, Kim Sang-Wook, sat nearby, reading a book. Taehyung approached them, loosening his tie.

Kim Taehyung (Alpha)

So, what’s this about a marriage proposal? (he asked, his tone calm but slightly wary)

Hye-Jin clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Kim Hye-Jin (Mrs. Kim)

We’ve been talking with the Jeon family.

Kim Hye-Jin (Mrs. Kim)

They’re lovely people, and they have a son, Jungkook.

Kim Hye-Jin (Mrs. Kim)

He’s an omega, just eighteen, but so sweet and talented.

Kim Taehyung (Alpha)

Eighteen? (Taehyung repeated, his brows furrowing. The age gap caught him off guard)

Kim Taehyung (Alpha)

Isn’t that a bit… young? 🤨

Kim Sang-Wook (Mr. Kim)

Yes, but he’s mature for his age. (Sang-Wook chimed in)

Kim Sang-Wook (Mr. Kim)

And they believe you two would complement each other well.

Kim Sang-Wook (Mr. Kim)

Of course, we won’t force you, but we’d like you to consider it.

Hye-Jin handed Taehyung a photograph of Jungkook, her smile widening.

Kim Hye-Jin (Mrs. Kim)

Here, look at him. He’s adorable. 😆

Reluctantly, Taehyung took the photo, his eyes scanning the image. What he saw surprised him.

The boy in the picture had a radiant, youthful charm that was hard to ignore.

His round, doe-like eyes sparkled with innocence, and his soft smile was tinged with shyness.

He held a tray of cookies in his hands, and the background suggested the photo was taken in a kitchen.

Taehyung felt an unexpected warmth spread through his chest.

There was something endearing about Jungkook’s gentle appearance, a stark contrast to the cold, business-driven world Taehyung was used to.

Kim Taehyung (Alpha)

He looks… sweet! (Taehyung admitted after a moment, his voice softer than usual)

Hye-Jin’s smile grew.

Kim Hye-Jin (Mrs. Kim)

He is. The Jeons say he loves baking and drawing.

Kim Hye-Jin (Mrs. Kim)

He’s sensitive, shy, and a little emotional, but very kind-hearted. I think you’d like him. 😊

Taehyung leaned back, staring at the photo again.

He hadn’t thought much about marriage before, viewing it as another obligation he’d eventually have to fulfill.

But there was something about Jungkook’s picture that intrigued him.

He could almost imagine the boy’s soft giggles and nervous pouts.

Kim Taehyung (Alpha)

I’ll meet him. (Taehyung said finally, handing the photo back to his mother)

Kim Taehyung (Alpha)

But I’m not promising anything yet.

Kim Sang-Wook (Mr. Kim)

That’s all we ask. (Sang-Wook said, nodding approvingly)

As Taehyung drove back to his penthouse later that night, he couldn’t shake the image of Jungkook from his mind.

Despite himself, he was curious.

What would this shy, adorable omega be like in person?

Would he be as sweet as he seemed in the photo?

For the first time in a long while, Taehyung found himself looking forward to something that wasn’t related to work.
