From what Taehyung remembered---
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 Jungkook would soon wrap me up in a bedsheet and haul me out like luggage. Straight into his car.
The memory made his stomach twist. The entire Jeon Villa had watched him in that humiliating state, whispering and laughing behind their hands. Someone had even leaked the story. Soon, the whole city center knew: Taehyung, the omega who dared elope, had been dragged home bare and pathetic.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 No… I can’t let that happen again!
Before he could panic further, Jungkook’s commanding voice cut through the tension.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Hoseok, bring a set of clothes for Taehyung. Right now!
Jung Hoseok {True Blood Alpha}
Jung Hoseok {True Blood Alpha}
Understood.
Came the bodyguard’s respectful response from outside the door. Taehyung’s expression soured instantly. He glared at him with wide, accusing eyes.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Jungkook! So it turns out… not only did you force yourself on me with Yugyeom just behind the curtain, but your bodyguard was listening right outside?
He hadn’t realized it earlier. Back then, he had been too busy struggling in Jungkook’s arms, too consumed by shame and resistance to notice the silent figure standing guard.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 It is Hoseok.
His heart sank further.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 Of all people, it had to be him—the man who despised me to the bone.
But to Jungkook, Hoseok wasn’t just a bodyguard. He was a trusted aide… even a friend. The hospital ward was so quiet that even the smallest sound carried beyond the door. Taehyung’s heart clenched with humiliation as he realized—considering his heavy weight, his breathing was louder than most. Almost like he was panting all the time.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 Even my breathing betrays me…
The thought made him want to shed every ounce of fat on his body. Sitting there wrapped in the bed sheets, he looked and felt like a bloated buddha, occupying almost the entire bed by himself.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 It is humiliating.
His gaze shifted, landing on Jungkook. And despite everything, his eyes softened with deep affection. But his swollen face, his wet lashes, and his darkened skin made the look less like love and more like a mixture of grief and anger.
Jungkook misread it immediately. His sharp, handsome features tightened with suspicion. His cold gaze only grew frostier. To him, Taehyung looked like an omega crying over his stolen innocence, glaring at him in grievance.
The atmosphere between them grew heavier. There were no fireworks, no movie-scene magic. Only mistrust.
And yet, Taehyung couldn’t stop himself from wondering.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 Does he even love me?
In his past life, if Jungkook hadn’t sacrificed himself for him when he was half-dead, he never would have known how deep his feelings ran. To the outside world, Jungkook was cold, heartless, ruthless. And even to him, Jungkook had never once said the word love.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 What he did have… is responsibility.
He had always been an enigma bound by duty. Once he acknowledged Taehyung as his, he never wavered.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 But is it love—or just the weight of responsibility?
Taehyung’s chest tightened at the thought.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 No matter what… in this life, I’ll make sure I win your heart, Jungkook.
A knock broke his thoughts. Rhythmic, firm. Hoseok entered, carrying a luxury branded paper bag. He set it down with visible distaste, his lips curling slightly as though the mere sight of Taehyung offended him.
Still clutching the sheet around himself, Taehyung extended one arm toward the bag. His skin, tanned deliberately dark in his past, looked like coal against the white bedding. The disgust in Hoseok’s eyes deepened. Before he could sneer, Jungkook’s harsh voice cut across the room.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Turn around. Leave!
The command snapped Hoseok to attention. He spun on his heel instantly, obeying by reflex. But as he walked out, a thought lingered in his mind.
Jung Hoseok {True Blood Alpha}
Jung Hoseok {True Blood Alpha}
💭 The boss is worried I’ll see his thick arm?
He nearly scoffed aloud.
Jung Hoseok {True Blood Alpha}
Jung Hoseok {True Blood Alpha}
💭 Ridiculous. This omega is ugly, fat, and covered in pimples. Even if he stripped naked in front of me, I wouldn’t care. How can someone this wretched catch the boss's eye? Is it just because they are engaged since childhood?
Inwardly, Hoseok cursed his boss’s blindness.
Jung Hoseok {True Blood Alpha}
Jung Hoseok {True Blood Alpha}
💭 If the opportunity arose, I will certainly advise boss to stay far away from Taehyung. In my eyes, Taehyung isn’t even fit to polish boss's shoes.
Taehyung, however, was taken aback by what had just happened.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 From the way Jungkook barked at Hoseok to leave… it’s like he wouldn’t even allow him to glance at my arm.
Taehyung's heart wavered.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 If he cares that much, then why… why did he still let Yugyeom listen from behind the curtain?
In truth, Jungkook had never intended to claim Taehyung’s innocence in a cold hospital room. But in his mind, he needed to crush Taehyung’s lingering affection for Yugyeom. To humiliate him so thoroughly in front of that man that Taehyung would never look at Yugyeom again—so he would belong only to him.
What Jungkook hadn’t realized was that the harsher he acted, the more Taehyung resisted… and the more stubbornly he clung to Yugyeom in the past.
After Hoseok’s exit, Taehyung gripped the sheets tightly around himself and tried to step off the bed. The moment his bare feet touched the ground, his knees buckled. With a heavy thud, he collapsed onto the floor.
The impact echoed through the spacious room, and just like that, his body sprawled across the tiles, making the room feel smaller, suffocating.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
A-ah…
Taehyung groaned, his thick limbs struggling to push himself up. He tried once, twice, three times—but his weak body betrayed him. From the corner of his eye, Jungkook’s hand twitched, ready to pull him up. But when his sharp gaze caught the tears shimmering in Taehyung’s eyes, his chest darkened.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 He’s crying… over Yugyeom, isn’t he? Heartbroken because he lost his innocence to me instead of him…
His jaw clenched, and with a surge of rage, Jungkook pulled his hand back. Taehyung, meanwhile, was blissfully unaware of his misinterpretation. His tears were not of heartbreak, but of a twisted kind of relief—of reunion. At that moment, all he could think about was stand up, stand up, stand up… But no matter how he strained, his body refused to cooperate.
Jungkook’s cold eyes flickered briefly to the crimson stain on the sheets. A sharp pang of guilt cut through his chest.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 I stole something from him like this… but he had forced me to do it!
Taehyung clawed desperately for support, and his hand landed on something solid. Relief rushed through him as he pulled himself upward, only to freeze when he realized…
He was clutching Jungkook’s thigh.
Taehyung's wide eyes darted upward, meeting the rigid line of his jaw.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 Oh god… these thighs are worth more than diamonds. I should hold onto them for the rest of my life.
Without thinking, his fingers pinched slightly at the firm muscle beneath his palm. Jungkook stiffened instantly.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 What the hell…? Normally, he recoils if his hand even brushes against my sleeve. Why is he touching me willingly now?
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 No… it has to be an accident.
Taehyung quickly pulled himself up, sheets wrapped tightly around him. He lifted his chin, and his breath caught. He had always been tall himself—nearly 1.7 meters—but next to Jungkook, who towered above 1.8, he still had to crane his neck to meet his eyes.
Jungkook stood there like a god, untouchable. Everyone in the city dreamed of currying favor with him, but all had failed. And yet here Taehyung was, battered and swollen, standing at his side.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 In my past life, I was blind. I didn’t treasure his feelings… but this time, I will cherish them!
Forcing his weak body to move, Taehyung muttered softly,
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
I’ll… I’ll go to the restroom to change.
His unsteady steps wavered as he headed for the bathroom. Jungkook’s hand flexed at his side, the urge to scoop him up burning in his chest. But he froze, his thoughts bitter.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 Even if I tried, he’d push me away. His mind, his heart… they’re still full of Yugyeom.
The suppressed rage in his chest flared again, scorching hot. Inside the bathroom, Taehyung closed the door and locked it with a sharp click. Outside, Jungkook’s brows furrowed, the sound like a nail against his chest.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 What does he think he could achieve by locking the door from inside? I can easily kick down such a simple door.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 If he tries to escape through the window…Then he shouldn’t blame me for chaining him to my bed for the rest of his life!
But that wasn’t Taehyung's intention. He had only locked the door to change his clothes. After receiving this second chance, his top priority was clear: he needed to properly love Jungkook. Escape wasn’t even on his mind.
Tossing aside the sheets, Taehyung quickly stepped into the shower. His skin was sticky with sweat and marked from earlier struggles. He shivered as the water flowed over him, washing away the grime and discomfort.
Jungkook, standing outside, frowned at the sound of running water.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 Is he actually showering, or is this some trick to cover an escape attempt?
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 It’s the third floor…
Jungkook mused.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 He doesn’t have the courage to jump. Even if he tried, his body… and the size of the window… he’d probably get stuck. And with my influence, he wouldn’t make it past the hospital unnoticed.
Taehyung knew Jungkook was impatient. To avoid any misunderstanding, he raised his voice loudly over the water.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
I’m just taking a shower and changing my clothes! I’ll be done quickly!
Taehyung took the fastest shower of his life, scrubbing away the sweat and marks, then grabbed the maxi dress Hoseok had bought. But just as he was about to put it on, a thought struck him.
Peeking his chubby face out of the slightly opened restroom door, he called,
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Umm… Jungkook, help me bring my underwear here.
Jungkook’s icy, handsome face froze.
Jungkook had never expected Taehyung to make such a request. His cold, handsome face stiffened immediately.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 Normally, these sorts of requests are reserved for intimate lovers. But no… Taehyung would never view me as a lover, not in a million years.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Help me bring it over...
Taehyung repeated, poking his chubby face out of the slightly opened restroom door.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Hoseok didn’t buy any for me. I can’t go around without wearing underwear.
Jungkook’s lips pursed, but after a brief pause, he complied.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
He wouldn’t dare buy such things for you.
He said quietly. He moved to the corner of the room, bent down, and picked up the underwear he had forcefully thrown aside. Returning to Taehyung, he handed it to him with a stiff, neutral expression.
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
Jeon Jungkook {Enigma}
💭 He doesn't have no other choice. That's why he asked me.
Taehyung quickly closed the restroom door behind him, ripped the price tag from the dress, and began squeezing into it. The fabric was far too small, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. After a lot of effort, he finally managed to wear it.
Standing in front of the restroom mirror, Taehyung studied his reflection. Dark, pimple-covered, fat… all 108 kilograms of him stared back. He reached out and touched the acne-covered skin on his face, eyes narrowing.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 I had always thought that my body was the sort that gained weight even from drinking water. As a result, I couldn’t help but be overweight.
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
Kim Taehyung {Royal Omega}
💭 In the past life, after I lost everything and could no longer stand up, I finally learned from Jisoo's own mouth that she, my biological sister, had secretly added drugs to my food that would stimulate my weight. She had also added a powder into all of my cosmetic products that would cause a bad skin reaction.
