THE KING'S CURSED BRIDE S2 (TaeKook) Everything changed

Previously

at the hospital

Taehyung was sitting on a bed, dressed in casual cloths Jimin brought

Nurse Yoo in ah

You cleared for discharge, Mr Kim, the doctor recommended full two days of rest... no work, and no stress*said gently, handing over some paperwork*

Taehyung offered a small nod, though stress was inevitable part of waking up in a complete different era, he didn't even know how the doors here worked at first

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

Thank you*soft voice, but distant*

Outside the hospital

Everything seemed foreign, the doors slid on their own as Taehyung stepped into the sun

The sun was bright and warm... but so wrong

Nothing smelled like home

No market spices, no soil after rainfall, no burning oil from temple offerings

instead, it smelled like metal, exhaust, and... fried chicken

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

Come on, we will go to my place for now, it's safer than you wandering into traffic

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

*squirting at a passing car* That carriage ha no horse...

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

That's a car, it runs on fuel and heartbreaks, mostly heartbreaks*laughing*

Jimin apartment

Taehyung entered the apartment like a man entering a museum, he touched everything...the buttons on the wall, the cold box that held food (fridge), the growing rectangle that showed people dancing and talking (TV)

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

So many windows showing people....

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

That's YouTube, you will either become smarter or lose faith in humanity in five minutes

The couch sank beneath his weight, the cushions wrapped around him like clouds, in the corner, a plant sat in a glass of water with its roots showing

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

Even plants are evolving...

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

*rolled his eyes* You are so dramatic

Afternoon

Jimin was done with all Tae dramas, and now he was giving him some lessons about this world

Jimin brought a tablet and a phone teaching Taehyung slowly, tap, swipe, and scroll

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

Everything is in here, whether you want to learn history, cook food, flirt with someone, or summon a taxi

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

Just use this one

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

It's like a spell book...

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

Exactly, except no Latin

Taehyung spent hours watching videos:

* What is mobile phone? * Alpha/ Omega rights in the modern era * What to do when your boss is emotionally unavailable (Jimin added this one)

Taehyung wrote in a small notebook, struggling with the modern scripts

My Vocabulary today * Internet (Not a net) * Elevator (flying room) * TikTok ( Not a clock???) * Email (fast pigeon) * coffee (poison)

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

And yet... none of these can bring him back to me*mumble*

Evening

in Jimin room

Taehyung was sitting alone in a room, staring himself in the mirror

He looked the same, but different, his short silver hair, and honey eyes made him look like an anime character

But his soul was still the same, the same omega who had once been crowned consort, who had once witnessed his dying Alpha

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

You are alive Jungkook, but you don't remember me*whisper to the empty*

Taehyung took a carved wooden bead necklace... one of the few things he had carried from the past, his thumb rubbed over it like a prayer

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

This world is strange, loud and cold, but if you are here... I will endure it

Jimin knocked softly, peeking in

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

You okay?

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

I don't know how to belong here

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

*sit beside him* whatever you are thinking, I will always support you, and you don't have to figure everything in a day... you are already here

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

I'm here... but not with him*mumble softly*

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

*sigh and pat Tae's back* Have a rest first

Taehyung lied in an unfamiliar room, unfamiliar sheets, surrounded by glowing electronics and quiet city sounds

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

In my world, I wished to be reborn with you. Now I have...*whisper to himself*

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

So even if the stars have changed, my love hasn't

~bye bye~
