(Taekook Smut & Short Stories) ~2
Ashes Of What Could Have Been²
The storm came three days later.
Jungkook sat in his room, fingers scrolling aimlessly through his phone, when his father barged in, followed closely by his mother.
Jeon Yoo
You're getting married
*his father barked without preamble*
Jungkook (Omega)
*Looked up, frowning*
What?
Jeon Ye-Ji
To Kim Taehyung.
*added, less angry, more tired*
Jungkook (Omega)
*nearly laughed*
Are you both out of your minds?"
Jeon Yoo
*slammed a folder down on the table*
You've embarrassed our family in front of the pack. The elders are furious. Do you even know who Kim Taehyung is?
Jungkook (Omega)
A peasant?
*shot back*
Jeon Ye-Ji
He's the heir to Kim Corporation, they've been hiding his identity for years, preparing him in secret. He's wealthier than you. More powerful than you. And more humble than you'll ever be.
Jungkook (Omega)
So, do you think that now he has money, so I will marry him?
Jungkook (Omega)
Then hear me clearly, seeing him makes me feel disgusted, I don't feel comfortable around him, and thus I won't marry him.
Jeon Yoo
You will.
*voice thundered*
Jeon Yoo
This is not a request, Jungkook. We've tolerated your bratty behavior long enough. It's time you learn responsibility.
Jeon Ye-Ji
*approached him, placing a soft hand on his shoulder*
Taehyung accepted the marriage only because he didn't want to disgrace your name. He could've destroyed us publicly, but he didn't.
Jungkook (Omega)
*stared at them both, stunned & they were serious*
Jungkook (Omega)
You're selling me off
*whispered bitterly*
Jungkook (Omega)
To someone I rejected.
Jeon Yoo
To someone you wronged.
Jeon Yoo
Maybe it's time you learn what it feels like to be humbled.
There were no flowers. No laughter. No music. Just ink on paper and heavy silence. Taehyung arrived in a sleek black car, dressed in a midnight suit that clung to his tall frame. He looked nothing like the man Jungkook remembered from the ceremony.
Power radiated from him like heat.
Jungkook's lips pressed into a line as he stood beside him, both signing the contract without a word.
？？？
Officiant
Congratulations, You may now-
Jungkook (Omega)
We won't be kissing.
Taehyung didn't react. He simply walked away from the altar.
The drive to their shared penthouse was colder than winter. Jungkook sat with his arms folded, glaring out the window while Taehyung typed on his phone. When they arrived, he stepped out first and said nothing as he led Jungkook to a luxurious penthouse overlooking the city.
Taehyung (TBA)
This is your room
*said, opening the guest suite*
Taehyung (TBA)
You'll stay here. Meals are at 7. You'll be expected to handle domestic chores unless stated otherwise.
Jungkook (Omega)
You expect me to clean?
*stared at his back stunned*
Taehyung (TBA)
*turned slowly, meeting his eyes*
Consider it part of your penance.
He left without waiting for a reply, the sound of the door clicking behind him louder than any scream.
That night, Jungkook stared at the ceiling, the scent of Taehyung still faint in the sheets - sandalwood and rain.
He hated this. Hated the silence, the humiliation, the shame of being tied to someone he once looked down upon.
But most of all, he hated that his heart thudded a little louder when he thought about Taehyung's eyes.
Eyes that didn't burn in anger.
Eyes that hurt in silence.
