Chapter 3
Evening descended over Seoul like melted gold, painting the cityscape in streaks of amber and gray. High above it all — on the top floor of the tallest building in South Korea — Kim Taehyung sat alone in his vast, glass-walled office, hunched over a stack of business proposals.
The lights inside were warm but dim, casting long shadows across the polished floor and reflecting faintly in the windows behind him, where the city lights blinked like faraway stars.
He wasn’t working because he had to. He was working because he couldn’t bear to stop.
Because the moment he paused — even for a breath — his thoughts would drift.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
💭 My Koo.
No matter how deeply he buried himself in deadlines, numbers, and expansion plans, Jungkook lived in every silence between his thoughts. In every heartbeat. Every sigh. Every space that wasn’t filled with noise.
His pen stilled over a document as a sudden, loud BANG! interrupted the quiet. The door to his office burst open.
Startled, Taehyung looked up sharply, his cold eyes narrowing — only to see his mother, brothers, and brother-in-law standing in the doorway, slightly breathless and clearly determined.
He leaned back in his chair slowly, one brow arching in amused irritation.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
What are you all doing here?
His voice was cold, composed — but the crease between his brows gave him away. Ji-eun, usually so commanding, suddenly looked awkward, fiddling with her fingers, unsure how to even begin.
But Jimin had no such hesitation. He blurted out--
Kim Jimin {Rare Omega}
Hyung, we want to know how you met him — how you fell in love with him — why didn’t you woo him?! And why can’t you just find him now and woo him properly?!
The words spilled out in one breath before Seokjin, laughing softly, clamped a hand over Jimin’s mouth from behind.
Kim Seokjin {Rare Omega}
Taehyung… Aunt Ji-eun and Chim just want to know your love story.
Jimin nodded frantically behind Seokjin’s hand while Ji-eun gave her eldest son a small, hesitant smile.
Kim Ji-eun {Rare Omega}
We want to understand. Why your love story… failed.
Her voice cracked slightly at the word failed, as if she didn’t want to believe it either.
He leaned back further in his leather chair, eyes lifting to the city outside — glowing, endless, lonely.
Then he looked back at the family he had tried so hard to keep at a distance.
And for the first time… he let the walls down a little.
Kim Taehyung {Enigma}
I met him half a year after our graduation —when we were doing an extra course.
The afternoon sun poured gently through the large glass windows of the university canteen, bathing the space in a soft golden glow. The place was buzzing with chatter and clinking cutlery, filled with students winding down after their exams.
At one of the quieter corners, three figures sat together — Kim Taehyung, Kim Namjoon, and Kim Seokjin — a group both respected and feared in the university, known for their legacy, power, and intelligence.
Seokjin, lively and dramatic as always, was passionately debating about a recent film adaptation while Namjoon, ever the logical one, responded thoughtfully, often with a small smile and a soft voice,
Kim Namjoon {True blood alpha}
That’s not how it works, hyung.
In contrast, Taehyung remained mostly silent, his sharp features impassive, answering only when directly addressed. He sat tall and poised, quietly chewing on a piece of rice cake, his presence cold yet strangely captivating — even in college, he never spoke more than needed.
Suddenly, a familiar voice cut through the air. Eunwoo — one of their classmates, an alpha known as much for his charm as for his love of gossip — pulled up a chair and sat down uninvited.
Cha Eunwoo {Dominant Alpha}
(grinning) Did you guys hear? There’s a new transfer student in the Political Science department. Final year.
Taehyung didn’t even look up, his gaze still fixed on the half-eaten kimbap on his tray. But Namjoon and Seokjin perked up, curiosity flickering in their eyes.
Park Seokjin {Rare Omega}
In the middle of the year? That’s… unusual.
Kim Namjoon {True blood alpha}
(nodding) He must be extremely talented to get admitted now. You know how selective this university is.
He shrugged and popped a rice cracker into his mouth, already losing interest in the conversation.
Park Seokjin {Rare Omega}
So who is he? What’s his name? Did you see him?
Eunwoo leaned forward, but Namjoon immediately shot him a warning glare. Eunwoo chuckled awkwardly and sat back.
Cha Eunwoo {Dominant Alpha}
Jeon Jungkook. Apparently, he’s a very, very beautiful omega — everyone in the department is already talking about him. They’re calling him the next campus belle.
Taehyung’s hand paused slightly over his drink, but he still didn’t lift his gaze. The name echoed faintly in his mind. Unfamiliar… yet it lingered.
Park Seokjin {Rare Omega}
(raising a brow) So, you haven’t seen him?
Cha Eunwoo {Dominant Alpha}
Just wait till you do. He’s seriously something else. Very beautiful omega. Everyone’s already obsessed.
Park Seokjin {Rare Omega}
(dryly) So, you have seen him.
Eunwoo nodded proudly, like he had just shared a well-guarded secret.
