Reborn to Change My Fate
Hatred
The sound of the door slamming echoed through the cold basement. The air was thick with the scent of rust and blood. Footsteps followed -- slow, deliberate, familiar.
Jungkook's head jerked up weakly. His wrists were raw and bleeding from the handcuffs. Every breath felt heavier than the last. When the figure finally stopped into the light, his heart stopped for a moment.
The man he loved the most , -- the one he could've died for -- was now standing in front of him, eyes filled with hatred instead of love.
Taehyung let out a dry, bitter chuckle and knelt down, grabbing Jungkook's chin roughly.
Kim Taehyung
"Look at you... The great Jeon Jungkook. Tell me, why does it hurt now? Huh?"
Jeon Jungkook
(struggling to speak) "Why... Why did you capture me here? Why are you tor-turing me, Tae?"
Kim Taehyung
(grip tightened as his eyes darkened)
"Torturing you? Torturing you? You think this torture? You tried to kill My Mom and Dad, Jungkook ! When you betrayed me, I said nothing."
Kim Taehyung
"When you cheated on me , I still told myself -- maybe he found someone better, maybe he's finally happy."
Kim Taehyung
"I prayed for you.. I still loved you!!"
Jeon Jungkook
(voice cracking)
"I didn't... I didn't try to kill your parents, Tae. You have to believe me-"
Kim Taehyung
(snapping)
"DON'T LIE TO ME!!"
Kim Taehyung
His voice echoed off the concrete walls.
"You tried to kill them... My family, Jungkook!! My Everything!!"
Jeon Jungkook
(breathing heavily)
"Taehyung.. please Control your An-nger... I can't breathe-"
Taehyung's jaw clenched. His own eyes were glassy now, But his rage wouldn't let the tears fall.
Kim Taehyung
"Don't PLAY your games with me. I know the truth. I married you because it was your Mom's last wish."
Kim Taehyung
" I thought maybe.. Maybe I could love you for real. And I did. God, I did... I started falling for you, trusting you, giving you everything I had -- But you broke it. You broke my trust, Jungkook."
Jeon Jungkook
(weakly, with tears streaming down)
"I swear... I never betrayed you. I never wanted to ruin your life. Why can't you believe me once?"
Kim Taehyung
" Shut up!!"
His voice cracked this time, trembling with the pain he'd tried to hide.
Kim Taehyung
"I don't want to see your face right now!!"
Jeon Jungkook
His head fell forward, his voice no loder than a whisper.
"Then just.. Kill me, Tae. If that's what will end it.. Just kill me."
Kim Taehyung
He froze. His lips parted, and for a second -- just a second.. The anger faded, replaced by something for more painful.
(muttering, barely audible)
"I will.. But the worst part is.. I still love you."
He stood up abruptly, his hands trembling as he turned away. The sound of his footsteps faded into the silence, leaving Jungkook alone again -- broken, bleeding, and still hopelessly with the man... Who now hated him.
Jeon Jungkook
"I never betrayed you, Tae... My Moon.. I never did. Wish I could tell you the real reason. They made you hate me, filled you with hatred."
Jeon Jungkook
(sobs)
"Please.. Beli-eve for once.."

👀 Y’all saw that ending, right??
Drop a 💔 if you’re mad at Jungkook, or 💞 if you still trust him.
I’ll post the next chapter once I see those comments rolling in 😏
Another chance
He slammed the basement door so hard the whole house seemed to shake. The sound of his palm against the metal of the car was a punctuation mark: a desperate, ugly punctuation to everything he'd done. He flung himself onto the blood and then into the driver's seat, fingers trembling as he shut the door.
The engine roared to life and he drove -- faster and faster - like speed could erase the image of Jungkook's face, the way blood had rimmed his lips the pleading in his eyes.
Kim Taehyung
(Tears blurred Taehyung's vision. He drove as if there was no road ahead, as if concrete could be outrun by will alone. He wanted to scream, to vomit the guilt out of his chest. He pressed the heel of his head into his eyes and sobbed until his ribs ached.)
Kim Taehyung
" I shouldn't have done that."
"whispered to himself between ragged breaths*
Kim Taehyung
"I shouldn't have starved him, I can't let him die because of me- but he hurt me so much-"
* fingers tightened on the steering wheel until the plastic creaked*
Kim Taehyung
"God, what do I do? Mom and Dad are okay, but the thought of them in pain... It makes me burn. And Jungkook- no.. I can't accept he did this. I'll take him out. I'll fix this."
Kim Taehyung
*slammed the car into reverse, the tires shrieking as he tried to head back to the basement*
Something metallic scraped, The brake pedal sank farther than it should have. He stompted it again.
Nothing.
Kim Taehyung
"No-, no,no no!!"
*shouted, panic rising like bile. He glanced up through the windshield and froze.*
Kim Taehyung
(A truck barreled toward him, monstrous and inevitable. There was no time to think. Only a thin, involuntary prayer escaped him)
Kim Taehyung
"STOP!!"
*screamed*
The impact was a living thing, sudden deafening all heat and glass and a terrible, rolling weight. The world narrowed to a single, terrible point of pressure behind his eyes. Pain lanced accross his body, bright and insane. For a moment -- and for a moment that felt like falling into velvet - everything went quiet.
Kim Taehyung
Maybe this is the end, Maybe this is the only justice left. I had hurt people. I had hurt Jungkook.i had destroyed trust. The idea of release felt, shamefully, almost peaceful.
But then nothing. Then a different kind of sharpness; bright hospital lights, the stink of antiseptic, the steady beep of a monitor, He blinked and found himself staring at the ceiling he knew too well.
Kim Taehyung
(His hands trembling - ached as he tried to move it. Memory uncoiled, clumsy and half drowned: the crash, the truck, the sound of metal folding, Then something stranger : a sense of dejá vú, like a photograph he'd seen thousand times but never examined. He and Jungkook.)
Kim Seok Jin
"Tae!! Are you awake? Are you okay? My son-"
*voice cracked with relief and fear*
Kim Taehyung
"Eomma..."
*croaked. The word edged in him like an anchor.*
Kim Namjoon
" Taehyung!"
*voice more controlled but no less shaken*
Kim Namjoon
" Why would you do this to yourself? Don't scare us like that. "
*hands were warm as he put on Tae's shoulder*
Kim Taehyung
*swallowed*
(Faces crowded at the threshold: Jin, tears dampening his hair ; RM, eyes shadowed with exhaustion but so clearly his ; Yoongi expression soft despite his usual reserve. They were all here. Safe, Present)
Kim Seok Jin
*pushed to him first, climbing onto the bed as if to close the distance between them with touch*
Kim Seok Jin
"Thank God you are breathing,"
*sobs*
Kim Seok Jin
" We were so worried. Why would you make us go through that?"
Kim Taehyung
*chest constricted, tried to answer but his voice come out small*
"I was stupid.."
Kim Taehyung
*admitted*
"I was coward. How could I leave you, Eomma? I couldn't."
Kim Namjoon
*squeezed his back, steadying him*
"You're here now.. That's what matters."
*relief in his voice was a balm and a fresh wound at all at once*
Kim Yoongi
*came forward and ran a hand through Taehyung's hair, awkward tenderness in his gesture*
"You should've thought about us before doing something like that,"
Kim Yoongi
*said quietly*
" About me.. About all of us.."
Kim Taehyung
*closed his eyes and let the contact ground him*
"I'm sorry.."
*said again' and meant it with the weight he hadn't allowed himself before.
As they tended him - asking the practical questions, pressing bandages, telling him what day it was - Taehyung watched their faces like he was seeing them for the first time. Each small look, reach involuntary flinch when he swallowed, hammered home how close he'd come to ripping all of this away.
Kim Taehyung
I remember then, with the sick clarity of one who has been given a second chance: the day I'd almost killed myself before.
Kim Taehyung
The memory of weakness, of bro reckless and careless even though I'd been an alpha with an enigma wolf. A name that carries other people's expectations. I had lost everything once. I could not let the history repeat itself.
Kim Taehyung
(Under the hum of hospital machinery, a thought flared and refused to be quiet.)
Kim Taehyung
What if this wasn't the end? What if... Somehow... This was a chance to change things? Not for fame, not for power - Just to unmess the partsof my life I'd let to.
Kim Taehyung
(He picture Jungkook again. The coldness in that basement, the pleading - so small and so stubborn - and then the longing in his chest that had come out in a whisper even as he fled. He had hurt the person he loved the most. The memory was a blade, and it cut him open with grief.)
Kim Taehyung
"I won't let the past happen again."
*whispered to himself*
Kim Taehyung
*felt the vow bottle into his bones like something weighty and irrevocable. He would find Jungkook. He would ask for forgiveness. He would fix what he could - even if forgiveness took a lifetime.*
Kim Seok Jin
"What happened??"
*leaned close*
Kim Seok Jin
"We're here. Never try to do something stupid.."
Kim Taehyung
"I would never"
*echoed and for the first time since the crash, he let himself believe it might be true*
Chance to meet him
Kim Taehyung
I'm alive, I am reborn to change my fate.
*thought,eyes fixed on the ceiling*
Kim Yoongi
"Eomma, Appa, I think he should rest for a bit..."
Kim Seok Jin
"Yess, Take rest, my dear.."
Kim Namjoon
*pats his head*
"Rest well.."
Kim Taehyung
(They left the room slowly, voices low and careful. Taehyung watched their figures through the half-open door until they disappeared down the corridor. As the door clicked shut, the silence pressed in; he let out a long, shuddering sigh.)
Kim Taehyung
"I'm sorry, Jungkook.. I'm sorry"
*bowed his head until his forehead touched the thin blanket.*
Kim Taehyung
"I hated you. I made you starve in that cold basement. My anger made me do that."
(He could feel the guilt like acid in his chest.)
Kim Taehyung
"I won't let it happen again... I will not-"
*swallowed, voice breaking*
Kim Taehyung
"I will find the people who did this. I believe you didn't try to kill My family."
Kim Taehyung
*closed his eyes and reached inward, calling the wolf he carried inside.*
"Vin, are you alive?? Are you here??"
Kim Taehyung
(He asked the empty room, speaking to the wolf inside him)
“Please… answer me. I know you’re angry. It’s my fault. I blocked you in my past life. I’m so sorry. Don’t give me the silent treatment. You know I’m reborn, right?”
A low, familiar sigh curled along the edges of his mind.
Vincent (Tae's wolf)
*softly*
"Taehyung.."
Vincent (Tae's wolf)
“You should never have blocked me. I told you a thousand times — it wasn’t our mate who did this. There’s someone else behind all of it. But you didn’t listen.”
*voice was patient and tired*
Kim Taehyung
*throat tightened*
Will you forgive me??"
Vincent (Tae's wolf)
"You are my human. I am always with you, baby."
Kim Taehyung
*managed a shaky laugh.*
“Then let’s find who’s behind all this in my past life.”
Vincent (Tae's wolf)
"I will destroy him."
*eyes darkened*
Kim Taehyung
"We'll destroy them."
Vincent (Tae's wolf)
*lightly*
"Yeah,yeah… start talking. What actually happened after you left?”
Tae’s hand clenched around the sheet. He was about to answer when the door opened and footsteps crossed the room. Sunghoon stepped inside — the family doctor who’d always been close to Jin, a familiar presence at the room.
Park Sunghoon
“Taehyung,”
*said, voice steady.*
“Feeling any better?”
Kim Taehyung
*Forced a smile.*
“Yeah. Better than before.”
Park Sunghoon
*Expression shifted, concern knitting his brow.*
“Why did you try to hurt yourself?”
Kim Taehyung
*shrugged like the question was heavier than the answer.*
“You already know my problems.”
Park Sunghoon
*let out a short, ironic chuckle.*
“Do I, though?”
*softened*
Park Sunghoon
“Sometimes dying isn’t the solution. You should find a way to make things right. By the way, I spoke with your mom — we’ll discharge you the day after tomorrow.”
Kim Taehyung
(Tae blinked and the thought that had been prickling at the back of his mind surfaced fully.)
Isn’t this the hospital Jungkook’s sister's hospital?
Vincent (Tae's wolf)
It seems like it.
*in his mind*
Kim Taehyung
*frowned.*
“Which hospital is this, exactly?”
Park Sunghoon
*raised an eyebrow.*
“Have you forgotten? This is Mrs. Lee Ji-eun’s hospital — Jungkook’s sister. How can you not remember? You used to come here all the time.”
Park Sunghoon
*gave Tae a playful push with the corner of his palm.*
“You should remember that. You almost come here every week.”
Kim Taehyung
(Tae’s pulse quickened at the name.)
Park Sunghoon
*continued, casual but with a hint of mischief*
“Before you’re discharged, you’ll have to meet her.”
Kim Taehyung
*Tae’s eyes widened.*
What? That’s… that’s perfect. This might be my chance to gain her trust.
Vincent (Tae's wolf)
*encouraging*
Try it, man.
Park Sunghoon
*laughed*
“Why are you so excited? She’s a good woman, yes, but be careful — Lee Jong-suk is a jealous man.”
Kim Taehyung
*rolled his eyes*
“She’s older than me,"
*said, half-annoyed, half-relieved*
Park Sunghoon
*grinned and patted Tae’s shoulder*
“Take care of yourself. I’ll leave you to rest.”
As Sunghoon shut the door, Tae let the name Ji-eun settle in his chest like a key. Everything felt suddenly smaller and sharper: the vow he’d made, the guilt that gnawed at him, and the thin thread of hope that maybe, just maybe, he could repair what he’d broken.
Kim Taehyung
*To himself*
No more running. I’ll find Jungkook. I’ll find the truth. I’ll change everything.
