When You Look At Me Again
Chapter 1: The Boy in the Garden
Welcome to my new story✨️
The Jeon estate was grand — all white marble and trimmed hedges — but to seven-year-old Kim Taehyung, it was simply the place where he lived.
Not his home. His mother’s employer's home. A place where he was always careful to stay quiet, keep his shoes off the rugs, and bow when he passed someone with a last name that wasn’t Kim.
But there was one corner of the estate where Taehyung never felt the weight of his status — the back garden, where the flowers grew wild and the heir of the Jeon family smiled just for him.
A bright orange ball flew through the air, and Taehyung squeaked as he fumbled it, nearly falling backwards. He caught it just in time, laughing breathlessly.
Jungkook stood a few feet away, grinning with the reckless confidence only a seven-year-old alpha could have. His black hair was a mess, his cheeks flushed from the sun, and his shirt untucked like always.
Jungkook
Told you! you could catch it.
Taehyung beamed, hugging the ball to his chest.
Jungkook
You gotta be fast too, dummy.
Jungkook teased, jogging closer.
Jungkook
You're gonna be my partner when I become pack captain, remember?
Taehyung
We don’t have a pack.
Taehyung mumbled shyly, glancing toward the kitchen window where his mother worked.
Taehyung
We’re just people.
Jungkook
Then I’ll make one.
Jungkook
And you’ll be in it.
Taehyung’s heart stuttered.
He knew Jungkook didn’t mean it like that. He was a kid. But still — the words made something warm bloom in his tiny omega heart, something that would take root and never quite leave.
He looked down, blushing.
That evening, as Taehyung sat on the servant cot beside his mother’s feet, she combed his soft brown hair and smiled.
Mrs. Kim (Taehyung’s Mother)
You like that Jeon boy a lot, don’t you?
Taehyung hesitated, then nodded.
Taehyung
He’s my best friend.
His mother hummed softly, brushing a hand over his cheek.
Mrs. Kim (Taehyung’s Mother)
Be careful with your heart, baby.
Mrs. Kim (Taehyung’s Mother)
Omegas…
Mrs. Kim (Taehyung’s Mother)
We feel things deeply. Especially for alphas like him.
Taehyung didn’t understand what she meant.
