Yours, Always! (Taekook Short Stories)
My Cinderella #4
The palace was unusually quiet the next morning.
Jungkook sat on the edge of his bed, still dressed in last night’s suit, silver bracelet clutched tightly in his hand. His usually sharp eyes were clouded, and his thoughts swirled with frustration, confusion, and above all.. longing.
He had danced with hundreds of omegas before. But none had made his heart pound like him. That mysterious beauty in blue. That trembling voice, those deep brown eyes.. wide, innocent, yet so full of strength. The way his hand fit perfectly in Jungkook’s… like it was always meant to be there.
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
Who are you? (he whispered to the empty room)
A soft knock pulled him from his trance. Jimin stepped in, holding two cups of coffee.
Park Jimin
No sleep? (he asked knowingly, sitting beside his best friend)
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook shook his head) He ran before I could even get his name.
Park Jimin
He left a mark on you, huh?
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook turned the silver bracelet in his hand)
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
He left this.
Park Jimin
(Jimin leaned in, eyes wide)
Park Jimin
It’s beautiful… silver, hand-engraved. Looks custom made. You think it’ll help find him?
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook stood abruptly, setting the coffee aside)
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
I don’t think… I know.
He strode out of the room, shouting orders as he walked.
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
Bring the guards. Prepare a royal carriage. Search the entire kingdom.. every town, every street.
Park Jimin
(Jimin followed behind, blinking)
Park Jimin
Wait—what are you planning?
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook turned sharply, eyes blazing)
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
I’m going to find him, Jimin. I don’t care how long it takes. I’ll search every home, every district. I will not rest until I see his face again.
Far away, in a small, dusty room on the upper floor of the Kim estate, Taehyung sat on the edge of his old bed, staring down at his torn clothes and blistered palms.
The magical night was gone.
The golden carriage, the shimmering robe, the warmth of Jungkook’s arms.. it all felt like a dream now.
A cruel, beautiful dream.
Kim Taehyung
Hoseok was right. (he whispered to himself)
Kim Taehyung
It had to end.
Downstairs, Lady Eunji and her sons were chattering about the prince again.
Kim Minho
He danced with some unknown omega. (Minho said with a sneer)
Kim Minho
Probably some street mutt who snuck in. 🙄
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung’s fists clenched)
Kim Jaehyun
Apparently, he’s searching for him all across the kingdom. (Jaehyun added, snorting)
Kim Jaehyun
He really thinks love at first sight is real.
Lady Kim Eunji
You boys better impress him next time. (Lady Eunji said)
Lady Kim Eunji
Once that fantasy ends, he’ll come to his senses and pick a proper match.
Kim Taehyung
(Looking at them with blank eyes)
Taehyung stood slowly, wrapping a scarf around his neck to hide the bruises from his recent punishments. He grabbed a broom and silently stepped into the hall to clean but his heart wasn’t in it.
Every time he closed his eyes, he remembered the way Jungkook had looked at him. Like he mattered. Like he was seen.
Later that day, the royal carriage arrived at the marketplace.
People rushed out of shops and homes to catch a glimpse of the prince’s guard.
Jungkook himself stepped out, dressed in royal black and gold, holding the silver bracelet in his palm.
Behind him, guards began announcing:
💂: By the prince’s decree, all eligible omegas are to try this bracelet. The one it fits shall be brought to the palace immediately!
One by one, dozens of omegas stepped forward.. each more eager than the last. They stretched out their wrists, batting eyelashes, murmuring compliments. But none of them fit.
💂♂️: It’s too small.. (a guard said with a sigh, removing the bracelet from yet another wrist)
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook looked on, silent and tense. His hope was fading)
Park Jimin
(Then, Jimin approached him, whispering)
Park Jimin
We’ve tried the north, the west… maybe we head toward the outskirts? The Kim estate is nearby.
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook nodded sadly) Let’s go.
Back at the Kim estate, chaos broke out the moment the maids announced the arrival of the royal guards.
Kim Minho
Fix my hair! (Minho shouted)
Kim Jaehyun
Where’s my best robe?! (Jaehyun yelped)
Lady Kim Eunji
(Lady Eunji forced a smile onto her face)
Lady Kim Eunji
They must be here for one of you.
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung, in the corner, stood frozen)
Kim Taehyung
*They’re here?*
Kim Taehyung
(He wanted to run out, throw himself into Jungkook’s arms but he didn’t. He couldn’t)
They wouldn’t believe him. He was nothing here. Just a servant. A broken omega.
Lady Kim Eunji
Get to the attic. (Lady Eunji whispered harshly, dragging him by the wrist)
Lady Kim Eunji
Do not come out until they’re gone. 😠
Downstairs, Jungkook stood in the grand Kim foyer, visibly disappointed after checking both brothers.
💂♂️: It doesn’t fit. (the guard said after trying Jaehyun’s wrist)
Lady Kim Eunji
(Lady Eunji forced a smile)
Lady Kim Eunji
Well… those are my only omegas, Your Highness.
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook hesitated) Are you sure there’s no one else?
Lady Kim Eunji
No.. (she said quickly)
Lady Kim Eunji
No one of interest.
But something tugged at Jungkook’s instincts.
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
Search the estate. (he ordered softly)
Lady Kim Eunji
(Lady Eunji paled) Y-Your Highness—! 😰
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
If he’s here. (Jungkook said)
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
I’ll feel it. 💓
The guards fanned out, checking each room. Taehyung, upstairs in the attic, heard footsteps approaching. His breath caught in his throat. The door creaked open.
💂: Your Highness! (one of the guards called)
Jungkook rushed up the stairs, breath held and froze in the doorway.
No silk robe. No silver chain. Just a plain white shirt, dusty pants, soft brown eyes wide with fear and yet, even more beautiful than Jungkook remembered.
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
You!! 💓 (Jungkook breathed)
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung’s lips trembled) You came… 🥺
Without a word, Jungkook stepped forward, kneeling in front of him. He gently took Taehyung’s wrist and slid the bracelet on.
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
Why did you run? (Jungkook whispered)
Kim Taehyung
I didn’t belong in your world. 💔
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
You belong with me. (Jungkook said fiercely)
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
From the moment I saw you. You were the only real thing in that ballroom. 💓
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung choked back a sob)
Kim Taehyung
I thought it was just a dream… 😭
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook pulled him into his arms)
Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook
You’re real. And I’m never letting you go again.
Kim Taehyung
😭 (Just Crying)
From below, Lady Eunji’s screams echoed but Jungkook didn’t hear them.
Because in that moment, nothing else mattered. He had found his omega.
