Chapter 1: EP 3
On the vast grounds of one of the country's top universities, two alphas lounged under the soft shade of a tree, enjoying the gentle breeze—or, more accurately, skipping class without a care in the world.
For one of them, grades were never a concern. He topped every exam with ease, so missing a class or two barely scratched his record. For the other, well… grades were a secondary thought when his sunshine smile could melt even the strictest professor’s resolve.
A few omegas passing by slowed their steps, stealing glances at the duo. Their gazes lingered particularly on the alpha wearing dark sunglasses, who didn’t hesitate to flash them a flirtatious smile or toss a casual wink their way. A few turned beet red and scurried off.
The other alpha, however, was clearly in no mood for attention or charm today. His arms crossed, jaw tight, eyes narrowed at the ground.
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
Damn , who stole your balls this morning?
Kim Namjoon (alpha)
*grumbles without looking up*
Shut up hobi. I'm already pissed
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
And that's what I'm asking about. What is it that makes you look like a hulk since the morning?
Kim Namjoon (alpha)
*sigh*
It's my parents again.
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
*sat up straight*
Don't tell me they again came with a worst and stupid ever proposal for my bear again?
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
For fúck sake , these people really makes me want to strangle them to death.
Kim Namjoon (alpha)
*gave him a look*
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
Now don't look at me like that. Like seriously they rise my inner pennywise.
Kim Namjoon (alpha)
I get it, Hobi. I’ve tried—really tried—to make them understand, to see how unfair they’re being. But it’s like talking to a wall.
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
Walls might have little crack in them if we force too much. They're worse than that.
Kim Namjoon (alpha)
Hey , they're still my parents.
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
Exactly, that's the 'only' reason why I haven't strangle them in their sleep yet.
Kim Namjoon (alpha)
*let out a heavy, letting his body fall back on grass*
Kim Namjoon (alpha)
What do I even do now? I can’t keep fighting with them forever. One day… I’ll lose. One day they’ll win and take him away from me. How long can I really protect my little brother?
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
I know, Joon. Your heart’s too soft for this world. Sometimes I wish I could just steal him away and lock him in a world made of safety and light. He’s too precious. Too... beautiful.
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
*pauses and grin teasingly*
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
Maybe I should just marry him and save us all the trouble—
Kim Namjoon (alpha)
Absolutely Not.
Jung Hoseok (alpha)
*pouts*
Damn so brutal bro. A man can't even dream
Back at the Kim mansion, Taehyung stood in the middle of the garden, watering can in hand, a soft melody humming from his lips. The sun dipped gently behind the trees, casting golden light on the blossoms around him. His eyes sparkled as they moved from one flower to another, each one holding a piece of his love, his care.
This was his favorite part of the day—just him, the quiet, and his flowers. No voices judging him, no cold stares—only the tender rustling of leaves and the scent of earth after water
Taehyung (omega)
*knelt beside the patch of lilies and a small smile bloom on his lips*
Taehyung (omega)
You've grown up well.
These flowers never asked for anything. They never hurt. They just bloomed—like he wished he could.
Just as Taehyung was enjoying his peaceful time with the flowers, a maid came into the garden.
Maid
Master Kim is asking for your presence in his office.
She didn’t stay or say anything more, just turned around and left.
Taehyung sighed loudly, a little disappointed that his favorite time of the day was cut short. He gently placed the watering can to the side and looked at his lilies for a moment, like they gave him comfort.
He fixed his clothes a bit, smoothing them down, and then quietly walked back into the house, ready for whatever was waiting for him.
Taehyung (omega)
*knock gently on the room*
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
Yes
*from inside*
As taehyung enter his eyes first land on Mr. Kim sitting beside his table and then on Mrs. Kim who was casually leisuring on the sofa reading a magazine.
The bowed politely and stood in the centre of the room with his hands mannerly tied Infront of him
Mr. Kim leaned back in his chair, eyes fixed on Taehyung with an unreadable expression. The silence hung for a few seconds before he finally spoke—his voice calm, too calm.
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
We turned down the proposal.
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
And you must already know why
Taehyung (omega)
*remained quiet head slightly bow*
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
Because Namjoon threw a tantrum. Again. In front of us. Like we’re the villains here. Do you know how humiliating that was for us, Taehyung? Do you?
*sharply*
Taehyung (omega)
*shook his head gently*
Kim Hee Ae (alpha)
Namjoon thinks he can protect you from the world. That just because we adopted you, we owe you some sort of eternal kindness. But that’s not how life works, dear.
*said without looking up*
Kim Hee Ae (alpha)
*flipped a page of her magazine before continuing*
Kim Hee Ae (alpha)
One day, Namjoon will grow up. He’ll have his own life. He’ll move out. He won’t always be there to jump in between you and the real world
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
*nodded in agreement and folded his arms over desk*
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
We’re not cruel. We’ve done more than enough for you. Brought you into this house when we didn’t have to. Gave you our name. Raised you alongside our own son
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
You’ve lived under our roof, eaten our food, worn clothes we bought, studied at schools we paid for. And we never asked for anything in return. Until now
Kim Hee Ae (alpha)
We aren’t asking you to climb mountains for us. Just… do something that can benefit this family. Something that brings us peace, stability, and respect. Is that really too much?
Taehyung looked up slowly, eyes glassy but unreadable. Before he could speak, Mr. Kim continued.
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
I know you think Namjoon will always be there to pull you out. But you’re mistaken. He won’t always be able to fight your battles
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
*looked down at some documents in his hands*
Kim jin ryul (alpha)
Marriage is not a punishment, Taehyung. It’s a way to secure your place. We’re not asking you to love the man. Just be a good omega. Represent our name well. That’s the least you can do after everything we’ve done.
Kim Hee Ae (alpha)
You should stop thinking like a child and start behaving like a son of this house.
Kim Hee Ae (alpha)
*a bitter smile rise on her face*
Kim Hee Ae (alpha)
Because if Namjoon ever leaves, this house… might not feel so warm anymore.
Taehyung’s throat tightened as he held back whatever emotion was building inside. He bit the inside of his cheek and lowered his gaze again.
And that was it. Another day of his so called adopted parents showing him his place.
