Tangled fate (³)

Days passed like this. And Taehyung got a friend for himself. sojung would stay almost every day as Jungkook mostly wouldn't come home. The omega would always try to initiate a talk with the alpha or greet him. Jungkook would get tired, so sometimes he'd also reply.

Those few days, Taehyung would be happy. Six months passed since they got married. Their life didn't change much. Taehyung was living in the house everyday bored with his life. The only company he was getting was from sojung They have become close enough for the omega to open up to her

He told her the truth. How Jungkook's brother ran away from the marriage on their wedding day, and they forced Jungkook to marry him.

Jungkook's mother has visited their house

They would talk on phone sometimes too. Including Jungkook's mother, the omega got two friends. Days passed with those not so comfortable silence between the couple. But however, Taehyung survived six months in the house.

And finally it was the release day of Jungkook's first ever drama where he acted as a male lead. He was looking forward to it. Jungkook took a seat to eat his breakfast, all ready in a black suit as he sat on the chair.

" Soon Taehyung came down and sat on the chair beside Jungkook's. The alpha glanced at him from the corner of his eyes before averting his gaze to the food again.

Taehyung chirped. He made it his habit to greet the alpha every day. Sometimes Jungkook would just ignore, or sometimes he would just hum in response, but he would never do what he did today. He responded with full words,

The omega froze and looked at his husband with wide eyes who was eating minding his own business. Slowly Taehyung turned his head towards sojung who mirrored his expression.

Taehyung nodded. He knew today is the day of Jungkook's drama release and the alpha was quite excited about it. So maybe that's why he greeted the omega back. It made him happy as he smiled and began to eat his food. Jungkook stood up when he was done eating and cleaned his mouth and hand before leaving for the door.

The omega said suddenly pausing the alpha on his track.

No he was not. He wanted to be loved by Jungkook too which he knew was forbidden. He had always wished to marry a loving alpha who'll love him unconditionally. But guess his fate wasn't with him. Maybe he was not supposed to be loved, supposed to be happy even. So he accepted it. sojung didn't push it further.

They watched the first episode somehow. But from the second episode Taehyung couldn't watch it anymore. He thought he was mature enough to understand this is acting. But then again, his heart clenched painfully realizing Jungkook might be doing more than these scenes behind the cameras too. . No matter what conditions they agreed to or how much consent he gave to this, his heart still hurts. These scenes were just a glimpse of how Jungkook life actually was. How he would sleep with any people who's not Taehyung. The omega wanted this. At the end of the day, he was an omega who craved to be loved, to be touched . A hopeless fool to wish for his husband's love. He might not show it, but deep down he always prayed for the alpha to notice him because he couldn't ignore the fact that his heart may betray his words .He remembered he promised the alpha he will never fall for him, he promised himself, but his wolf was stupid, his heart was stupid. They kept getting attracted to the cold alpha. He remembered Jungkook's cold demeanor, the hatred in his eyes when he said those harsh words,Don't ever think of falling in love with me. Don't fucking ever expect me to love you back. I would rather be dead than falling for an omega like you./ The omega thought he could at least stick to his own words. He thought Jungkook's cold behavior will make him hate the alpha. Taehyung had tried to heed that warning, but as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, he found himself drawn to Jungkook's darkness. His rough exterior hid a deep vulnerability, and Taehyung's omega instincts yearned to loved by him, the only alpha, his husband . He watched as Jungkook's character wrapped his arms around the female lead, pulling her close for a tender kiss. Taehyung's heart twisted, a painful ache spreading through his chest. He knew it was just acting, but he couldn't help the way he felt. Jungkook was his husband, and seeing him with someone else, even in a fictional context, hurt. Jungkook's eyes seemed to burn with passion as he gazed at the actress, his touch gentle and loving. Taehyung's mind flashed back to their own interactions, Jungkook's cold indifference, his harsh words, his clear disdain. Taehyung's eyes stung as tears pricked at the corners. Why did he still hold onto hope? Jungkook had made it clear he would never love him, would never even like him. But Taehyung's heart refused to let go. He watched as the scene started getting more intense. His bit his hips to stop it from Trembling. Before the episode could go any longer sojung took the remote and turned the tv off. She didn't look back at the omega who was seating on the couch beside her. The silence was heavy. She knew maybe the scene was bothering Taehyung. She could feel the omega's discomfort as he shifted on his place continuously. Taehyung's mind was blank. It was telling him not to give a fuck about Jungkook while his heart was paining. It was a war between his heart and Brain he thought of all the times Jungkook had pushed him away, all the times he'd made it clear that Taehyung was nothing more than a nuisance . But still, Taehyung held onto the hope that one day, Jungkook would see him differently. Why? Why was he so weak? Why couldn't he ignore his husband like the alpha ignore him? The silence was oppressive, punctuated only by Taehyung's ragged breathing. He felt like he was drowning in his own emotions, unable to escape the pain of loving someone who would never love him back. He should stop these stupid feelings before they start worsening.

Truth to be told, the drama was very interesting. Full of action romance, betrayal as the female lead was a spy who entered the male lead's life to trick him but fell in love, separation and getting back together. . They would enjoy watching it if it was not Taehyung's husband doing those scenes with the actress.

He said and didn't wait for the woman to reply Anything back as he started walking upstairs quickly. He entered his room and closed the door behind him. Taehyung's legs gave out as he slid down the door, his back rubbing against the cool surface of the door. He hugged his knees, burying his face in the crook of his arms. Tears streamed down his face, hot and silent, as he let out a muffled sob. His body shook with each gasping breath, his heart heavy with the weight of his unrequited love . The omega felt the door's solidness against his back, a stark contrast to the emptiness he felt inside. He wished he could disappear, fade away into nothingness, and escape the pain of catching feelings for Jungkook. His knees trembled, his face still hidden. He felt so alone, so lost, and so unwanted. The tears flowed freely now, a river of sorrow, as Taehyung mourned the love He would never have. He cried for the hope he couldn't let go of, for the dreams he dared to dream, and for the heart that refused to stop loving. In that dark, quiet moment, Taehyung let his emotions consume him, surrendering to the anguish of his secret love. sojung was right. She was right when she said sometimes letting your emotions flow doesn't make you weak. It makes you feel less heavy. It makes you stronger. And the moon goddess witnessed her child's pain. Pain of the omega who was nothing but pure, kind and loving. He didn't deserve this.
