BROKEN IN SHADOW The Gift of Rebirth

☁︎☁︎☁︎☁︎☁︎☁︎☁︎☁︎☁︎☁︎☁︎

Taehyung’s eyes snapped open.

For a long moment, he lay still, his chest heaving as confusion tangled in his mind. The floor beneath him wasn’t the one he remembered, and the air—it was too pure, too soft. No walls, no prison, no pain. Just an endless stretch of light.

Slowly, he rose and took an unsteady step forward. A narrow path appeared beneath his feet, winding into the distance.

He followed it, each step echoing louder than the last, though silence pressed from all sides.

"Am I… hallucinating?" he whispered, his voice small, almost afraid of the answer.

The path carried him to a vast hall that shimmered with ethereal light.

Pillars stretched endlessly into the heavens, and the ceiling seemed to breathe with stars.

Taehyung’s eyes darted from one corner to another, searching for something familiar, when a voice called gently from behind him.

MOON GODDESS

"Where are you looking, Taehyung?"

He froze.

Turning slowly, his breath caught. A woman stood there, radiant as though carved from moonlight itself. Her beauty wasn’t earthly—it was otherworldly, serene yet commanding.

Jeon Taehyung | omega |

"Are… are you an angel?" Taehyung’s voice trembled, hesitant.

MOON GODDESS

The woman only smiled, her eyes soft but deep, as though they held lifetimes of sorrow. "You may call me that."

The words broke something inside him. Taehyung clenched his fists, his voice rising with the weight of everything he had endured.

Jeon Taehyung | omega |

"Then tell me," he demanded, "why? What did I do to deserve that life?"

Jeon Taehyung | omega |

The questions spilled out, sharp and trembling. "Why was I born only to suffer? To be betrayed, beaten, humiliated? Do you know—"

Jeon Taehyung | omega |

His voice cracked, his throat tight. "Do you know I was raped by the man who guarded my husband? By the one who was supposed to protect me?"

Jeon Taehyung | omega |

His cries echoed in the vast hall, raw and jagged. "Why… why would you give me that kind of life?"

MOON GODDESS

The Moon goddess's smile faded, sorrow shadowing her radiant face. She stepped closer, her hand hovering near his cheek but never touching.

MOON GODDESS

"Not every soul is given ease, Taehyung. Some are tested, some are broken… and some rise from the ashes."

MOON GODDESS

Her gaze locked with his. "I cannot erase the pain of what you endured. But I can give you a choice."

Jeon Taehyung | omega |

His chest heaved, hope and fear colliding. "Choice…?"

MOON GODDESS

"I will grant you a new life," she said, her voice carrying the weight of eternity.

MOON GODDESS

"This time, you may carry your memories with you. You will know what was done to you, and you may do whatever you wish with that knowledge. Revenge, redemption… the path will be yours alone."

Jeon Taehyung | omega |

Taehyung’s eyes glistened. "And what if I fall again? What if it all repeats?"

MOON GODDESS

The angel’s lips curved faintly. "I bless you with more than memory. In your new life, you will be bound to a second mate. One who will find you, one who will not let you shatter as before.

Silence wrapped them as Taehyung bowed his head, his breath shaky but steadier than before.

Jeon Taehyung | omega |

"…Then I accept."

MOON GODDESS

"Very well." The angel’s voice was both gentle and absolute. She lifted her hand, and light gathered like threads of silk, weaving around his body. "

MOON GODDESS

Rise again, Taehyung. Live again. This time, not as a victim of shadows—but as their master."

And with a burst of blinding light, Taehyung was sent back to earth.
