Silent Hearts: Unspoken Love -1

(OMEGA VERSE)

TOP - TAE(Alpha)

BOTTOM - KOOK(Omega)

The wedding ceremony was a grand affair, but to Taehyung, it felt like a farce. He stood beside Jungkook, his new wife, but it wasn’t the celebration of love that he had always dreamed of. No, this marriage was one of convenience. Forced by his family, he had no say in it. His eyes didn’t even linger on Jungkook's face; they were fixed ahead, lost in his thoughts.

Jungkook, on the other hand, sat still in his place, his gaze unfocused as he stared at the world around him. His expression was blank, devoid of any emotion. He wasn’t the kind of person who talked much, and for him, the marriage was more of a cage than a union.

They were the perfect pair of strangers, sharing a home, but living as though they were miles apart. Their conversations, if they happened, were brief and shallow.

Jungkook’s silence was suffocating to Taehyung. It wasn’t that Jungkook was mean or unkind—far from it. He simply didn’t speak, and the silence between them weighed heavily on Taehyung's chest.

They lived in the same room, yet it felt like they were in two different worlds. Taehyung could feel Jungkook's presence beside him but never acknowledged it.

Jungkook, ever patient and understanding, never tried to push Taehyung. Jungkook never asked for his attention, never made demands. His quiet nature was both comforting and unnerving for Taehyung.

Days turned into weeks, and still, nothing changed. Taehyung would come home from his busy day, and there Jungkook would be—sitting quietly, as if he had no life of his own. He never disturbed him(Tae). Never made a sound unless absolutely necessary. He would prepare Taehyung's meals with care, keep the house neat, and take care of everything in the background without him noticing.

One evening, as Taehyung sat on the balcony, looking out at the city lights, his thoughts turned to Jungkook. Why did he never speak? Why did he never ask him to come closer? What was he thinking behind those calm, unreadable eyes?

The truth was, Jungkook wasn’t the cold-hearted person he seemed. He had been forced into this marriage just as much as Taehyung had. Jungkook's family had struck a deal with Taehyung's one, and Jungkook was merely a pawn in a game he never wanted to play. But he couldn’t leave. He didn’t want to be a burden. He didn’t want to make things difficult for Taehyung. So, he stayed silent, hoping that one day, things would change. He believed that if he was patient, his new husband would eventually understand him.

That night, as Jungkook silently handed him a cup of tea, Taehyung’s frustration finally broke through. He couldn’t stand it anymore—the silence, the distance between them.

“Why don’t you talk to me?” Taehyung asked, his voice softer than he intended. “Why do you just... stay quiet all the time?”
