Reborn In My Favourite Comic (TaeKook)
Chapter 3: A New Reality
Taehyung—no, Victor—forced himself to stay calm as he adjusted to the weight of his new reality. Three days had passed since he woke up in this world, yet every time he looked in the mirror, the face staring back at him still felt foreign. The dark expressive eyes, the smooth skin, the delicate yet striking features—it was undeniably Taehyung. And yet, beneath it all, he was still Victor.
The morning sun spilled through the enormous windows of his penthouse, casting golden light over the pristine marble floors. The luxury surrounding him felt surreal. Back in his old life, survival had been his only concern—there was no time for silk sheets, expensive suits, or breathtaking city views.
A soft knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts. Before he could respond, Seokjin stepped in, carrying a tray with breakfast.
Kim seokjin
“You didn’t come down for breakfast, so I brought it here.”
Taehyung blinked at him. Seokjin’s presence was familiar yet strange. He had always been a composed, elegant figure in Reign of Shadows, the one who stayed at Namjoon’s side through everything. But in this world, Seokjin wasn’t just Namjoon’s right-hand man—he was Taehyung’s caretaker, the closest thing he had to family aside from his father.

“Thanks, Uncle Jin.”
Seokjin’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
Kim seokjin
“You haven’t called me that in a while.”
Taehyung hesitated. He didn’t have memories of how the original Taehyung acted around Seokjin, but he couldn’t afford to be careless. He needed to blend in. He offered a small, easygoing smile.
Kim taehyung
“Maybe I hit my head harder than I thought.”
Seokjin didn’t look convinced, but he let it go. He placed the tray on the bedside table, folding his arms as he studied Taehyung.
Kim seokjin
“You should rest today. You collapsed from exhaustion, and Namjoon doesn’t want you back on set until you’ve fully recovered.”
Kim taehyung
“I… I don’t remember much about my life before I collapsed,”
He admitted, deciding honesty was the best way to keep suspicion off him.
Kim taehyung
“Just a few things here and there.”
Seokjin’s expression softened slightly.
Kim taehyung
“I guess so. It’s frustrating, but I’ll manage.”
Before Seokjin could respond, the door opened again. This time, Namjoon entered. Unlike Seokjin, his presence was commanding, making the air in the room feel heavier.
Kim namjoon
“Seokjin, give us a moment.”
Seokjin shot Taehyung a look before nodding and leaving the room. As soon as the door shut, Namjoon sat on the chair across from him, hands steepled together. His gaze was unreadable.
Kim namjoon
[Kim Namjoon] “You’ve been acting different.”
Taehyung felt his heart skip a beat, but he forced himself to remain composed.
Kim taehyung
“I told Uncle Jin—I don’t remember much.”
Namjoon’s expression remained unreadable, but there was a flicker of something in his eyes—concern? Doubt?
Kim namjoon
“I don’t believe in coincidences. You collapsed on set without warning, and now you’re… changed.”
Taehyung held his breath. Did Namjoon suspect something? Was it possible that this world had some kind of connection to his past life?
Kim namjoon
“You don’t have to tell me now,”
Namjoon finally said, leaning back.
Kim namjoon
“But if something happened to you, I want to know. I won’t ask twice.”
There was something in his voice—something that didn’t quite match the ruthless villain he was supposed to be. Concern?
Taehyung watched him carefully. The world saw Namjoon as a villain, but he was starting to wonder if there was more to the story.
As Namjoon stood and left the room, Taehyung made a silent promise to himself.
Kim taehyung
🤔“I need to find out the truth.”
