The Secret Revealed

The meeting was finally over
Sehun stood up, fixing the cuffs of his blazer before flashing that same fake smile
His voice dripped with artificial politeness
SEHUN
SEHUN
Once again, I apologize for the little incident earlier, Mr. Jeon
Jungkook barely spared him a glance
His expression was blank, too blank. His voice, flat.
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
It's fine
Sehun grinned, as if pleased with the response. The audacity
The others exchanged glances but said nothing
There was nothing more to say here
One by one, they filed out of the mansion
.
.
.
The moment the doors shut, silence consumed the car
The engine hummed softly as the driver started moving, but inside no one spoke
Jungkook sat in the front passenger seat, staring out the window. Unmoving
The others, seated behind, glanced at each other
Jimin's leg bounced. Yoongi, sitting next to him, noticed but didn't say anything
Jin sat beside Jungkook, arms crossed, stealing glances at him
Namjoon sighed, rubbing his temple
He looked as if he wanted to say something, but even he hesitated
The tension was suffocating
And then, Hyunjin, ever the curious one, broke the silence
He looked around the car, scanning their tense expressions
Then he turned to Hoseok, sitting beside him
HYUNJIN
HYUNJIN
(whispering) Okay... what the hell happened back there?
Hoseok didn't reply, His hands were interlocked, tense
His jaw clenched, eyes dark, Hyunjin frowned
After a moment, Hoseok finally spoke, His voice was low. Heavy
HOSEOK
HOSEOK
That omega
Hyunjin leaned in slightly
HOSEOK
HOSEOK
(staring ahead) The omega Jungkook never got over. The one he still loves...
Hyunjin's eyebrows furrowed
HOSEOK
HOSEOK
That's Taehyung
Silence
Hyunjin blinked
Then, his eyes widened
HYUNJIN
HYUNJIN
"Wait. Wait— (stares at Hoseok, then at Jungkook) "That Taehyung?
Jin sighed beside Jungkook.
SEOKJIN
SEOKJIN
Yes, Hyunjin, That Taehyung
Hyunjin's mouth opened, then closed, His brain was processing
Taehyung? Jungkook's Taehyung? The one he had heard about before?
Jungkook hadn't moved
His hands were clenched into tight fists
Jin turned to him, his voice gentle
SEOKJIN
SEOKJIN
Did you talk to him?
The whole car turned silent, Jungkook finally spoke
Low. Flat. Cold.
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
No
Jimin's head snapped toward him
JIMIN
JIMIN
(shocked) You didn't?
Jungkook took a slow breath
Then, finally, he spoke again, His voice was quieter this time
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
I saw what Sehun did to him
Jimin's face darkened
Jungkook continued, voice steady but hollow
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
Sehun slapped him. Pulled his hair. Threw him on the ground
A sharp intake of breath
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(low, shaky exhale) He burned him
Silence… Deadly silence
Jimin was the first to react
His body tensed… His hands curled into fists
JIMIN
JIMIN
(furious)That bastard
JIMIN
JIMIN
(turns to kook) And you just let it happen?
Jungkook clenched his jaw but didn't answer
Jimin was about to explode, but—
Yoongi placed a hand on his arm
YOONGI
YOONGI
(voice was calm but firm) If we acted now, it would've been reckless
JIMIN
JIMIN
(turned to him, frustrated)
YOONGI
YOONGI
(serious) Sehun has too many guards
YOONGI
YOONGI
If we moved without a plan, it wouldn't just be Taehyung in danger, it would be all of us
NAMJOON
NAMJOON
(nodded in agreement) We need a strategy
NAMJOON
NAMJOON
A full-proof one
Jimin gritted his teeth, trying to calm his rage
Then, Hyunjin spoke up again
His voice was hesitant
HYUNJIN
HYUNJIN
If they loved each other this much...
Everyone turned to him
HYUNJIN
HYUNJIN
(looked at Jungkook)
HYUNJIN
HYUNJIN
Why did they break up?
Another heavy silence filled the car
HOSEOK
HOSEOK
(glanced at Jungkook)
Then at Hyunjin
Then back at Jungkook… He hesitated
HOSEOK
HOSEOK
(softly) Are you sure?
Jungkook didn't look at him… Didn't move
But his fist unclenched slightly… And he nodded…Expressionless.
Hoseok inhaled deeply
Then—
He spoke…
