Episode 05
Back inside the estate, Jimin sat at the breakfast table, eyes flicking between his hyung’s clenched jaw and the Omega who just dropped into the seat next to him like nothing had happened.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Morning~ *Taehyung said cheerfully, reaching for the orange juice.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
You look alive.
Jeon Jimin
Hyung says I screamed in my sleep. *Jimin replied, sipping slowly.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
You screamed about flower crowns and blood.. *Jungkook muttered from the head of the table.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
So yes.. *without any expression.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
A classic nightmare combo. *he chuckled.*
Jeon Jimin
*Jimin squinted at him.*
There was something strange about this Omega. Something wrong, but not in the bad way. In the kind of way that made your instincts stand on edge. Like your wolf wasn’t sure whether to fight or fall on its knees.
Jeon Jimin
You’re not like other Omegas.. *Jimin said suddenly.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
*Taehyung grinned with his mouth full.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Oh, sweetheart, that’s the nicest lie I’ve heard all week.
Jeon Jimin
No, I mean it.. *Jimin continued, eyes narrowing.*
Jeon Jimin
You don’t smell like submission.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
*Taehyung licked jam from his lip.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
That’s because I’m not submitting to shit.
Jeon Jimin
Not even fate? *Jimin asked softly.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
*Taehyung froze for half a second, just long enough for Jungkook to notice. Then he smiled again.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Especially not fate.
Later that day, Jungkook found himself pacing the training yard alone, fists clenched, mind spinning. He couldn’t get the Omega out of his head.
Every time Taehyung spoke, Jungkook wanted to argue. Every time Taehyung laughed, something in his chest itched. And when Taehyung touched his wrist earlier.. just briefly, teasingly.. it felt like the bond itself flared.
He wasn’t in heat. Jungkook was sure of it. But the bond was growing stronger. Faster.
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
Stupid Moon~ *he muttered.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
You talk to the sky often?
He turned. Taehyung stood barefoot again, watching him from the gate like some wild forest thing wearing loose cotton and a smirk.
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
I thought you were banned from the yard.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Did you ban me? *Taehyung asked, stepping closer.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
*Jungkook exhaled hard.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
No. But maybe I should.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Why? *Taehyung asked.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Scared I’ll pin you next? 😏
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
*Jungkook’s eyes snapped up.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
Don’t test me. ❄️
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
You Alphas are so dramatic. *rolled his eyes.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
I don’t know what your game is—
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
It’s not a game. ❄️
Jungkook felt it again.. the bond, the pull, the terrifying sense of this one is mine echoing through his body like an ancient drum.
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
I don't believe in this.. *Jungkook said, voice low.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Neither did I.. 🙂
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
Then why aren’t you scared?
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
*Taehyung smiled faintly.*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Because being scared never helped me survive. 🙂
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
*his heart clenched hearing that.*
Later that night, Jimin knocked gently on Jungkook’s door. His brother sat by the window, shirtless, hand wrapped, staring at the blood-moon-tinted clouds.
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
Come in..
Jeon Jimin
*Jimin sat beside him quietly.*
Jeon Jimin
He’s not what I expected.. *he said after a while.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
Who? Taehyung?
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
*Jungkook didn’t answer.*
Jeon Jimin
*Jimin looked down at Jungkook’s hand.*
Jeon Jimin
It’s glowing again.
The mark pulsed red under his skin.
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
It does that when he’s close.. *Jungkook muttered.*
Jeon Jimin
Hyung~ *Jimin leaned his head on Jungkook’s shoulder, saying softly.*
Jeon Jimin
Do you think… the Moon made a mistake?
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
*Jungkook stared out at the trees.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
No!!! *he said after a pause.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
I think the Moon knew exactly what it was doing. *without any expression.*
