The Alpha I Loved Before (Taekook)
Taehyung's POV
Kim Taehyung
30 (reborn to 20)
Alpha
Cold billionaire heir, future CEO; carries subconscious memories of loving Jungkook.
"Why does he feel like mine?"
I’m used to people staring being a Kim heir means everyone wants something. But the new transfer student? He doesn’t look at me like the others. His eyes are cautious, even… cold. Still, something about him feels familiar. Like a dream I can’t quite remember.
We keep crossing paths in classrooms, hallways, after school. He’s talented, stubborn, and frustratingly untouchable. I should be focused on my father’s demands and my engagement to Seulgi, but I can’t help wanting to know what’s behind his walls.
The more I see him, the more I feel this strange need to protect him. When people mock him for being poor, I step in. When his designs get stolen, I make sure the culprit pays. I tell myself it’s just decency, but my heart knows it’s more.
Years pass, and I take over the company. I hire him as a designer, and every day he’s in my orbit, he drives me mad avoiding me, refusing my help, yet stealing my thoughts day and night.
When the truth surfaces that someone manipulated us both in a past neither of us fully remembered it feels like my soul has been cut open. All this time, I thought he hated me for who I am. Now I know he hated me for something I never did.
When Minseok tries to take him away, I break every rule I’ve lived by to get him back. I don’t care about the company, the scandal, the world’s opinion. I only care that he’s in my arms, alive and safe. And when he says yes to my proposal, I realize he wasn’t just familiar. He was mine, long before this life began.
