Heat of the Game (Taekook)
2. The First Challenge
The arena gates groaned open, revealing a wide field shimmering under spotlights. At the center stood a massive tower with three glowing flags fluttering at the top. Around the field, smaller platforms dotted the ground, each one connected by tricky rope bridges and narrow planks.
Above the noise, a deep voice echoed through the speakers:
Announcer
Welcome to the first challenge of the Unity Games! This is a capture-the-flag survival match. Teams must race to the top of the tower and claim a flag—but beware, the platforms are rigged with traps. Fall, and you’re out. Only those holding a flag when the horn sounds will advance.
Gasps rippled through the competitors. Traps? Heights? Everyone’s scent spiked with excitement and nerves.
Taehyung’s eyes immediately sought Jungkook in the crowd. The Omega looked nervous, clutching his gloves tighter, his lower lip caught between his teeth. The sight alone made Taehyung’s chest tighten with a possessive growl.
Kim Taehyung ( Alpha )
Don’t fall behind, rabbit. I don’t plan on waiting.*Leaned close to Jung kook & said in a low voice*
Jungkook glanced up, trying to hide the flush on his cheeks.
Jeon Jungkook ( Omega )
Nobody asked you to wait. I can handle myself. *Looks at Tae & grumbled*
Taehyung chuckled, clearly enjoying the defiance.
Meanwhile, Jimin was hopping on his toes, practically vibrating with energy.
Jimin (Omega)
*Gets excited*
Jimin (Omega)
Oooh, capture the flag ! This is my specialty!
Min Yoongi (Alpha)
Your specialty is tripping over your own feet. *Said with an unbothered Look*
Jimin (Omega)
Yaah...Hyung !
Jimin (Omega)
*Smack Yoongi*
On the other side, Namjoon and Jin were stretching together.
Kim Seokjin (Omega)
Try not to break anything this time, Namjoon. The last time you got too excited, a table died.*Said to Namjoon with a teasing tone*
Kim Namjoon (Team Leader) (Alpha)
That table was weak. I did it a favor. *Sheepish smile*
Before laughter could settle, a sharp voice cut through.
Cha Eunwoo stood tall, posture perfect, his eyes cold.
He looked at Tae like a prey and started to irritate Tae again like usual by his words.
Cha Eun Woo ( Alpha )
*smirking, loud enough for Taehyung to hear*
Cha Eun Woo ( Alpha )
Some of you don’t belong here. This isn’t a place for fragile pets who need protecting
Jungkook froze, fists clenching. Taehyung’s smirk vanished instantly, replaced with a glare sharp enough to cut steel.
Kim Taehyung ( Alpha )
*Got extremely angry & said in a low growl*
Kim Taehyung ( Alpha )
Say that again, and I’ll show you exactly what happens to anyone who underestimates my Omega.
Taehyung moved closer to Eunwoo to beat the shit out of him
The tension thickened—dominance clashing in the air. Other competitors instinctively shifted back.
The horn blared. The field shook as the platforms activated, some already tilting dangerously.
Jimin (Omega)
*Got panicked due to the horn sound*
Jimin (Omega)
Wait wait nobody said ‘ready, set, go’!
Yoongi dragged him forward by the wrist.
Min Yoongi (Alpha)
*Shook his head in defeat*
Min Yoongi (Alpha)
You’ll complain even after you win, won’t you ?
Despite the seriousness, laughter rippled across the field again.
But Jungkook felt the weight of Taehyung’s hand brush against his shoulder before the Alpha sprinted forward. His eyes promised only one thing: No one would dare take Jungkook’s place at the top.
The Unity Games had begun—and the climb for survival had started.
