"Alpha’S Reclaimed Omega" - ꧁ Chapter - 20 ꧂

༺༻

Jungkook stands under the warm spray of the shower, letting the water wash away the remnants of sleep. After drying off, he dresses in comfortable attire and heads to the kitchen, his stomach reminding him of the need for breakfast.

Entering the kitchen, Jungkook is met with the aroma of sizzling food. He pauses, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he observes Jungukk at the stove.

Jungukk stood at the stove with his sleeves rolled up, morning light gently warming his face as he moved with calm, practiced ease. His brows were slightly furrowed in focus while he carefully placed slices of smoked salmon on soft poached eggs, then spooned truffle hollandaise over them. His movements were steady and smooth—one hand on his hip, the other working with quiet confidence. There was something peaceful and warm in the way he cooked, a soft smile playing on his lips, like he was making something special for someone he truly cared about.

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(Approaching quietly, places a gentle kiss on Jungukk's head.) "Good morning, Gukkie."

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(A playful smirk forming as he turns his head slightly to meet Jungkook's gaze.) "Good morning, Daddy." (His eyes glint with mischief, the teasing evident in his tone.)

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(Chuckles softly, shaking his head at the familiar nickname.) "Always the tease."

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(Grinning, gestures toward the stove.) "Breakfast is almost ready. Why don't you wake Tae? Food's best enjoyed hot."

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(Nods, turning to leave.) "Alright, I'll get him."

Before Jungkook can make his way to the bedroom, the sound of soft footsteps interrupts him. Turning around, he sees Taehyung entering the kitchen, his hair tousled from sleep, draped in Jungkook's black hoodie and matching lower. The oversized clothing only accentuates his delicate features.

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(Voice still laced with sleep, and offers a small smile.) "No need. I'm already up."

Jungkook and Jungukk are both momentarily taken aback, their gazes fixed on Taehyung standing in the doorway—wearing Jungkook’s black hoodie and loose-fitting lower, the fabric slightly too big on him, sleeves covering his hands and the waistband resting low on his hips. The sight was simple, yet something about seeing Taehyung in his clothes made Jungkook's breath hitch. His eyes lingered, lips parting slightly in surprise, while a soft warmth spread across his chest. Taehyung blinked at them sleepily, ruffling his messy hair as he gave a small smile, completely unaware of how effortlessly endearing he looked in that moment.

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(Noticing their stares, tilts his head slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.) "What? Is there something on my face?"

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(Snapping out of his reverie, clears his throat.) "No, nothing. You just... look good."

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(Nods in agreement, a soft smile playing on his lips.) "Yeah, really good."

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(A faint blush crept onto Taehyung’s cheeks as he tugged at the sleeves of the oversized hoodie, shifting his weight awkwardly.) “Oohh thank you now , D-Don’t look at me like that,” (he muttered, eyes flicking away as he tried to sound casual, though the hint of shyness in his voice gave him away.)

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

Chuckling, gestures toward the dining table. "Come on, sit down. Breakfast is ready."

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(Pulls out a chair for Taehyung, offering him a seat.)

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(Smiles appreciatively, sitting down.) "Thank you."

Jungukk moved with quiet ease, serving breakfast with a warm smile—plates filled with golden pancakes stacked neatly, scrambled eggs cooked to soft perfection, and a vibrant mix of fresh fruit arranged with care. He placed the dishes in front of Taehyung and Jungkook before sitting down himself. The three settled into a gentle rhythm, the soft clinking of cutlery and low murmurs filling the cozy kitchen. Morning light spilled across the table, and though words were few, the atmosphere was warm and easy, each bite shared in a quiet kind of togetherness.

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(After a few bites, Jungkook slowly set down his fork, his expression shifting to something more thoughtful. He leaned back slightly in his chair, eyes narrowing just a little as he looked between Jungukk and Taehyung. His fingers tapped once against the table before he spoke, voice calm but with a weight behind it.) “I was gone for a few days… did something happen while I was away?” (his gaze is steady, as if trying to read something in their faces.)

Taehyung’s hand froze mid-air, the piece of pancake on his fork forgotten as a sudden nervousness washed over him. His eyes darted to Jungukk in a quick, instinctive glance, uncertainty flickering in his gaze. He could feel the tension rise, a subtle shift in the air that made his heartbeat quicken.

Taehyung knew that look on Jungkook’s face—the calm surface, the quiet stillness just before the storm. He swallowed hard, fingers tightening slightly around the fork, his shoulders stiffening as he sat up straighter, trying not to fidget. His lips parted as if to speak, but no words came, caught between guilt and caution.

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(Noticing the silent exchange, Jungkook raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eyes as a small smirk formed on his lips. He leaned back slightly, arms crossing over his chest, clearly amused but saying nothing. His gaze lingered just long enough to make them uneasy, the teasing in his expression subtle but unmistakable.)

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(Taking a deep breath, sets his fork down, fingers intertwining nervously.) "Well, I... I attended an auction."

Taehyung took a slow, steadying breath, the tension in his shoulders visible as he set his fork down with a soft clink. His fingers fidgeted for a moment before intertwining tightly in his lap, a nervous habit he couldn’t quite hide. He avoided Jungkook’s eyes at first, gaze flicking down to the table as if searching for the right words. His throat bobbed with a swallow, and when he finally spoke, his voice was quiet—careful.

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

“Well… I… I attended an auction.”

The words hung in the air like a drop of ink in still water, subtle but instantly noticed, the shift in atmosphere immediately as both Jungukk and Jungkook stilled, waiting for what would come next.

Jungkook’s brows drew together ever so slightly, his tone still even but laced with a quiet tension, like he wasn’t sure if he heard right.

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

“An auction?” (asked , the word drawn out just enough to carry weight—part question, part challenge. His gaze stayed fixed on Taehyung, searching his face for answers, the air between them growing heavier with each passing second.)

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(Interjecting, his tone sharper.) "Not just any auction. An illegal one."

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(Leaned forward slightly, a teasing smile playing on his lips as he interjected,) “Not just any auction,” (said, drawing out the words with playful emphasis.) “ But an illegal one.”

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(shot Jungukk a quick glare from the corner of his eye—sharp, warning, the kind that clearly said) “I’ll deal with you later.”

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(Only responded with a small, unapologetic shrug, the corner of his mouth twitching like he was holding back a laugh.)

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

Speek ___

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

( gaze again dropped to the table, fingers tightening slightly in his lap as he gave a slow, reluctant nod.) “Yes… an illegal auction,” (he admitted, his voice barely above a murmur. )

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(Leaning forward, his elbows resting on the table.) "Why would you do that, Tae?"why would you go to an illegal auction? What were you hoping to accomplish?" ( paused, searching Taehyung's face for answers.)

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

"You know how dangerous those places can be. What was so important that you'd take that risk?"

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(Swallowing hard, his voice barely above a whisper, trembling with restrained anger.) "I… I wanted revenge. On my cousin."

His fists clenched at his sides, knuckles white, as the words left his lips like a curse he’d been holding back for far too long.

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(His brows furrowed, lips curling slightly as he crossed his arms, voice laced with disbelief and rising tension.) "Revenge? What the hell did they do to you?"

His gaze bore into him, demanding answers, chest rising and falling just a bit too fast to be calm.

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(Remains silent, his hands clenching into fists on his lap.)

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(His expression shifted, eyes wide with a flicker of fear, voice trembling with emotion.) "You risked your life for revenge… Do you even realize what could’ve happened? If I hadn’t gotten there in time—"

He stopped himself, voice cracking just slightly, chest rising with a shaky breath as his hands curled into tense fists.

The weight of unspoken words hangs heavy in the air.

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(voice falters as the thought suddenly strikes him.) "Wait a second… how did you know where I was, Jungukk ? I didn’t tell a soul."

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(voice faltered mid-sentence, eyes blinking rapidly as the realization hit him like a jolt. stepped back slightly, breath catching.) "Wait a second… how did you know where I was, Jungukk? I— I didn’t tell a soul."

His gaze locked onto Jungukk, confusion and suspicion swirling in his eyes. One hand hovered near his chest as if trying to steady his racing heart, the other clenched tightly at his side, the weight of the unspoken suddenly pressing down hard.

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(A smirk tugged at his lips, but his gaze was sharp—unyielding, commanding.) "We're the Jeons, Tae. This empire stands because we built it, and it bends to our will."

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

( leaned in slightly, voice like steel wrapped in silk.) "And when it comes to our omega… we move heaven and earth. No one touches what's ours."

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(Eyes narrowing playfully, a smirk tugging at his lips.) "Stalkers, the both of you."

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(His eyebrows shot up, eyes blinking in mock astonishment before narrowing with a teasing glint. A grin spread across his face.) "Seriously? Secret little shadows—the both of you."

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(let out a breathy laugh, shaking his head like he was both impressed and mildly alarmed.) "I don't know whether to be flattered or file a restraining order."

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

( expression sobered, the warmth in his eyes steady but resolute. His voice was quiet, yet unshakably firm.) "Tae, you matter to us—more than you know. If you’re stepping into danger… don’t shut us out."

Jeon Jungkook ( Engima )

(Took a breath, voice softening.) "Whatever it is, we’ll face it together. I’m not letting you go through this alone."

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(Nodding in agreement, gaze softened, but the sincerity in his eyes was undeniable.) "Whatever your reasons are—whatever this revenge means to you—we're with you. Every step of the way."

Jeon Jungukk ( Pure blood Alpha )

(Paused, voice dropping slightly.) "But don’t carry it alone. Let us be there with you… truly."

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

(His eyes shimmering with unshed tears, voice thick with emotion.) "Thank you. Both of you. I realize now that with your strength and support, I can face anything."

(He held their gaze for a moment, something unspoken flickering in his eyes. The weight of their words settled deep within him.)

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

( didn’t say a word—just gave a slow, steady nod.)

Kim Taehyung ( Pure Omega )

💭It's not just agreement—an unspoken yes. If they want to protect me… I’ll let them.💭
