Let's Begin!
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐉𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧]
Taehyung sighed, rubbing his temples as he stared at the pile of documents on his desk. His first day had been nothing short of exhausting—whispers behind his back, calculating glances from coworkers, and the lingering weight of Jungkook’s gaze whenever he happened to pass by.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"This is harder than I thought."
He muttered under his breath.
Stretching his arms, he decided to take a short break. He stood up, making his way to the break room, hoping for a moment of peace.
But the moment he stepped inside, his eyes widened.
A familiar figure stood by the coffee machine, chatting animatedly with a few other employees.
Taehyung’s childhood best friend.
A wave of nostalgia crashed over him, memories of laughter-filled days and whispered secrets surfacing in an instant.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(softly) “Jimin?”
Jimin turned around, and for a split second, his expression was frozen in shock. Then—
Park Jimin (Omega)/ Tae's Bestfriend
(gasping) “Taehyung?! Is it really you?!”
Before Taehyung could respond, Jimin practically launched himself forward, wrapping his arms tightly around him.
Park Jimin (Omega)/ Tae's Bestfriend
(excitedly) “Oh my god, I can’t believe this! What are you doing here? Since when? Why didn’t you call me?!”
Taehyung chuckled, hugging him back before pulling away slightly.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
“I just started today. Long story. But damn, it’s good to see you.”
Jimin pulled back, eyes scanning him before a pout formed on his lips.
Park Jimin (Omega)/ Tae's Bestfriend
“You idiot. Do you know how worried I was when you left without telling me? I thought you were gone forever!”
Taehyung sighed, scratching the back of his head.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
“I know, I know. Things were… complicated. But I’m here now.”
Jimin huffed before a mischievous glint entered his eyes.
Park Jimin (Omega)/ Tae's Bestfriend
“Well, now that you’re back, you need to meet my friends. Come on!”
Taehyung barely had time to protest before Jimin grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the break room.
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐟é – 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠]
The café was warm and buzzing with soft chatter. Jimin had practically forced Taehyung into joining him and his friends for a casual meet-up after work.
As they entered, Taehyung immediately felt the comforting presence of an already tight-knit group. Jimin led him to a table where three men sat, chatting amongst themselves.
Park Jimin (Omega)/ Tae's Bestfriend
(grinning) “Guys, meet my best friend, Kim Taehyung!”
The first man, with dark eyes and sharp features, leaned back in his chair with an unimpressed expression.
Min Yoongi (Alpha)/ Jimin's Boyfriend
(dryly) “So this is the famous Taehyung?”
Jimin smacked his arm playfully.
Park Jimin (Omega)/ Tae's Bestfriend
“Be nice, Yoongi. He’s been through a lot.”
The name clicked instantly. Tae raised an eyebrow and looked at Jimin.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
“Min Yoongi… your boyfriend?”
Yoongi smirked, finally extending a hand.
Min Yoongi (Alpha)/ Jimin's Boyfriend
“That would be me.”
Taehyung shook his hand, feeling the strong grip of an Alpha but noting the clear gentleness behind it.
Min Yoongi (Alpha)/ Jimin's Boyfriend
“Jimin’s talked about you a lot. I thought you were a myth at this point.”
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
“I’m real, I promise.”
The second man, with a bright smile and a warm aura, leaned forward eagerly.
Jung Hoseok (Alpha)
(cheerfully) “Nice to meet you, Taehyung! I’m Jung Hoseok, but you can just call me Hobi.”
Taehyung nodded, smiling back.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
“Pleasure.”
The last person, a man with soft brown hair and a slightly reserved demeanor, offered a gentle smile. His eyes, however, lingered on Taehyung a second longer than necessary.
Park Jaewoon (Alpha)
(quietly) “I’m Park Jaewoon. Welcome to the group.”
Taehyung noticed the subtle way Jaewoon’s fingers fidgeted with his cup, as if trying to mask his curiosity.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
“Nice to meet you.”
Jaewoon gave a small nod, but his eyes didn’t leave Taehyung for the rest of the conversation.
For the next hour, they chatted over coffee, and for the first time in a long time, Taehyung felt… at home.
Yet, he couldn’t shake the feeling of Jaewoon’s lingering gaze.
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐉𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭]
By the time Taehyung returned to the office to collect his things, the building was eerily quiet. Most employees had already left, and the long, empty hallways made the space feel colder than usual.
As he reached his desk, he noticed a small red light blinking on his phone.
He picked up the receiver and listened.
Can be anyone
Receptionist: “Mr. Kim, please report to the CEO’s office immediately. Mr. Jeon wishes to see you before you leave.”📞
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Jungkook wants to see me? Now?"
He swallowed, grabbing his coat before making his way to the top floor.
Every step toward the CEO’s office felt heavier, his mind replaying their last interactions.
The way Jungkook had glared at him.
The way his voice had held an edge of warning.
By the time he reached the massive double doors, his heartbeat was unsteady.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(coldly) “Come in.”
Taehyung pushed the door open, stepping inside.
Jungkook sat behind his desk, eyes dark and unreadable as he gazed at him.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
“Close the door, Kim Taehyung.”
And just like that, the atmosphere shifted.
A new challenge had just begun.
