I actually tried to update but dumd me left it in drafts..
Armonico
And I was thinking I already released it
Armonico
So here I'm again
Jimin slumped onto the couch in Taehyung’s office, arms crossed and a devilish smirk tugging at his lips. He had just witnessed something groundbreaking.
Taehyung—the cold CEO, the man who never let mistakes slide—had just let someone spill coffee on him and walked away without a word.
Not only that, but Jimin had spotted something on Taehyung’s desk earlier. A greeting card.
And that’s when it hit him.
This wasn’t just any encounter
Reaching for his phone, he quickly typed in their group chat.
Taehyung was in his office, casually flipping through a contract, when a notification sound caught his attention.
He unlocked his phone and saw a message from their group chat. His eyes narrowed as he read through the texts.
park jimim
🐥: So, something interesting happened in Taehyung’s company lobby today…
kim namjoon
🐨: Oh? Do tell.
jackson wang
🦊: I’m listening
Taehyung’s gaze snapped to Jimin, who was sitting across from him, scrolling on his phone with a smug grin.
Kim Taehyung
🐻 : Park Jimin
park jimim
"barely looked up" Oh, now you’re paying attention?
Taehyung clenched his jaw. This guy was really testing his patience.
Kim Taehyung
🐻 : Delete those messages
park jimim
🐥: No. In fact, I was just about to tell them everything
kim namjoon
🐨 : Jimin, continue. Ignore him.
jackson wang
🦊: Yeah, spill.
park jimim
🐥: Alright, so get this. Our mighty, cold, and untouchable Taehyung crossed paths with an omega today.
There was a moment of silence in the chat before—
kim namjoon
🐨 : ....You’re joking
jackson wang
🦊 : No way. That’s impossible
Kim Taehyung
🐻 : I’m going to kill you, Park Jimin.
park jimim
🐥 : Pfft. As if you never did it...
Taehyung shot him a glare that could kill.
Meanwhile, the group chat continued.
kim namjoon
🐨 : We need to talk about this in person.
jackson wang
🦊 : Agreed. Let’s meet tonight at Night Cloud(club)
park jimim
🐥 : Perfect. Taehyung can’t escape then
Kim Taehyung
🐻 : I am not coming
park jimim
🐥 : Oh, you are. You have no choice.
kim namjoon
🐨: It’s decided, then. Night Cloud at 9
jackson wang
🦊: See you all there.
Taehyung sighed, leaning back in his chair. He was definitely going to regret this.
The VIP room in Night Cloud was dimly lit, the scent of expensive cologne and whiskey lingering in the air. The four alphas sat around a sleek black table, drinks in hand, the silence stretching unbearably long
Taehyung, unbothered as ever, leaned back in his seat, swirling the amber liquid in his glass lazily. Meanwhile, the other three exchanged glances, as if waiting for someone to speak first
Finally, Namjoon exhaled sharply and leaned forward
Jimin and Jackson immediately jumped in.
park jimim
Oh, don’t you just ‘so’ us, joon hyung! We are not letting this slide
jackson wang
Exactly! We’re here for a reason, and that reason is this guy—
He gestured dramatically at Taehyung, who didn’t even spare him a glance.
Jimin, setting his glass down with a soft clink
park jimim
*clicked his tongue* Kim Taehyung. Do you have anything to say for yourself?
Kim Taehyung
Regarding..? *arced a brow*
jackson wang
*scoff* Regarding the fact that you— *He gestured vaguely* —somehow, miraculously, crossed paths with an omega, and we only found out because Jimin caught you red-handed
kim namjoon
And you’re seriously not going to explain?
Kim Taehyung
*sip*There’s nothing to explain
park jimim
*Gaped* Nothing? NOTHING? *He turned to Namjoon and Jackson dramatically.* Do you hear this man? Do you understand the gravity of this situation?
jackson wang
*Nodded*, *looking equally scandalized.* Taehyung, do you even understand how big of a deal this is? You, of all people, around an omega? This is the biggest plot twist of the year!
kim namjoon
So, are you going to at least tell us who he is?
park jimim
*Dramatic gasp* He’s hiding him from us! Oh my God, this is even worse than I thought!
jackson wang
Damn. The great Kim Taehyung finally caught off guard by an omega, and now he’s acting all mysterious about it
kim namjoon
Interesting *smirk*
Kim Taehyung
You’re all overreacting. It was nothing *rolled eyes*
park jimim
So if it was nothing, why is it that you didn’t even tell us?
Taehyung didn’t answer.
Silence filled the room once again, but this time, it was filled with unspoken curiosity and tension.
park jimim
*Leaned in, a sly grin forming* Kim Taehyung, mark my words, we will find out who he is
jackson wang
Oh, definitely *smirk*
kim namjoon
*Sip from his drink, eyes glinting with amusement* This just got interesting.
Kim Taehyung
There’s nothing to explain. He’s a stranger
park jimim
Oh, come on, Tae. A stranger? That’s all you have to say?
jackson wang
Are you seriously telling us that if you cross paths again, you wouldn’t even give it the slightest chance?
Kim Taehyung
I wouldn’t. *jaw tensed*
park jimim
You’re hopeless, you know that?
Namjoon, the ever-observant one, watched Taehyung closely. There wasn’t a hint of hesitation in his words. Not even the slightest flicker of curiosity or emotion. He had been like this for years—cold, distant, untouchable
jackson wang
You always do this, Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung
Do what? *raised an brow*
jackson wang
Push everything away,People. Connections. Emotions. You don’t even give things a chance
park jimim
We get it, Tae. We know why you are like this. But sometimes... we hope you’d at least try. Just once
kim namjoon
*nodded*You always talk about logic and control. About not letting things affect you. But does it never get tiring?
Disappointment flickered across the faces of the three alphas. They knew this would be his answer. It was always his answer. But somehow, they still hoped for something different.
For years, they had watched the youngest among them build walls so high that no one could ever reach him. They had seen him grow colder, more distant, shutting himself off from anything remotely emotional.
And tonight, once again, he proved them right.
park jimim
Fine. Whatever. But if— *He pointed at Taehyung* And I mean if—you ever come crawling to us about this omega, I swear, I will not let you live it down
kim namjoon
*sign* Let’s just see what fate has planned.
Taehyung didn’t respond. He simply leaned back, his expression unreadable, shutting down the conversation with his silence.
And just like that, the night continued—drinks were poured, conversations shifted, and laughter echoed through the club
But the weight of Taehyung’s words lingered.
And deep down, the three older alphas couldn’t shake off the feeling—
That maybe, just maybe, this time... fate wouldn’t let Taehyung push it away so easily.
That night, all the alphas returned to their respective residences, the weight of their conversation still lingering in their minds. The city lights flickered outside Taehyung’s penthouse as he stood by the window, staring at the skyline with a blank expression.
He reminded himself—again and again—that he wouldn’t let the walls around him collapse.
Emotions were nothing but a liability. Attachment led to weakness. And he couldn’t afford either.
This was the best way for him.
The best way for everyone
Or so he convinced himself.
Armonico
That's it for now...
Armonico
And sorry for the late update
Armonico
I'll make sure I'll never repeat this
