When I Became King's Only Concubine(Taekook)
The Market~
My inp to write this story ....🫴🏻😻
Meanwhile~ in the bustling market city~ a crowd gathered.
unknown
Fifty gold coins for the pair!
Two omegas stood on the platform~ bound by simple ropes.
They were stunning~ even in rags.
One had striking~ wide eyes;
The other~ a delicate~ fierce gaze.
From a covered palanquin~ Queen Seokjin watched.
He’d always dreamed of an omega child~
But fate gave him two strong enigma sons.
He signaled his royal guard~ Hoseok.
Seokjiin/Queen
Buy them. Quietly.
Hoseok/royal guard Head
Three hundred gold coins for both.
The slaver gaped~ then nodded hastily.
Hoseok untied them~ bowing slightly.
Hoseok/royal guard Head
Bow to your benefactor.
The omegas bowed toward the palanquin.
Seokjin drew the curtain back a little.
Seokjiin/Queen
Your names~??
The first omega spoke~ voice soft but clear.
Taehyung
I am Kim Taehyung. But… some call me V.
Seokjiin/Queen
Brothers~??
Seokjiin/Queen
Give them coats~
Seokjin instructed Hoseok.
Seokjiin/Queen
They will serve at the palace. Give them special care.
Hoseok/royal guard Head
Understood~ Your Majesty.
As Hoseok led the two beautiful omegas away~ Seokjin sighed.
He would have to hide them from the court~
Especially from the formidable Grand Queen Dowager Soy Ja Ha.
For now~ the servants' quarters would be their home.
Back at Changgyeong Palace~
King Namjoon was buried in scrolls~
Unaware of the two new souls entering his kingdom’s heart.
Prince Jungkook stared out his window~ sensing a change in the wind.
He scowled. Whatever it is~ I want no part of it...
15-year-old Prince Jeon Jungkook.. He hated omegas betas alphas—anyone who looked at him with seductive eyes. They were all the same just like his father's concubines...
Grandma order's~
The air in the palace pavilion was sweet with blooming flowers~
But Queen Seokjin felt none of their comfort.
Grandma Queen Dowager Soy Ja Ha sat across from him~
Her sharp eyes missing nothing.
Dowager Soy Ja Ha/grandmother
The Crown Prince Jungkook is fifteen. He's enigma...It is time for his rut.
Dowager Soy Ja Ha/grandmother
And my son~ the King... he still spends every night only in your chambers.
Seokjin kept his voice calm~ but his hands tightened in his lap.
Seokjiin/Queen
King Namjoon’s choices are his own~ Grandmother.
Dowager Soy Ja Ha/grandmother
Choices that weaken the royal line!
Dowager Soy Ja Ha/grandmother
One spare heir~ Prince Yoongi~ is not enough. The court whispers. You must convince either the King or the Crown Prince to take a royal concubine.
Dowager Soy Ja Ha/grandmother
If you do not… it will not reflect well on you~ my dear. A queen’s duty is to ensure the stability of the throne.
Seokjin knew this was not about stability~ but her power.
She had never approved of Namjoon’s love for him~
An omega who held the king’s heart so completely.
Seokjiin/Queen
crown prince despises the very idea~
Seokjiin/Queen
And I will allow no one new near my King.
The Grandmother’s smile was cold.
Dowager Soy Ja Ha/grandmother
Your ‘allowance’ has limits~ child. I have a new candidate.
Dowager Soy Ja Ha/grandmother
A clever~ beautiful omega from a noble family. She is... my favorite. She will be presented to the Crown Prince. If he refuses... well~ the King may find her in his chambers instead.
The threat was clear. Seokjin felt a chill..
Worse~ he remembered Lady Minji~ King Namjoon’s only existing concubine—mother to the King’s beta son.
She was clever and greedy~ always watching~
Waiting for a chance to elevate her own child’s status.
She was a silent ally to the Grandmother.
Seokjin stood~ bowing stiffly.
Seokjiin/Queen
I understand your words~ Grandmother.
As he left the pavilion~ his heart was heavy.
A storm was coming~ and its first targets were the two people he loved most:
His stubborn son and his devoted king.
And somewhere in the servants' quarters~
Two beautiful~ unknowing omegas slept~ unaware of the palace games that were about to begin..
Mother's Warning~
Seokjin walked toward the royal training grounds~
His steps heavy with the Grandmother’s threat.
He found them in Prince Jungkook’s private courtyard.
Prince Jungkook~ shirtless and gleaming with sweat~
Was adjusting his younger brother Yoongi’s grip on a dagger.
jungkook/crown prince
The angle~ Yoongi. Not just strength. Precision.
yoongi/ Prince
Like this~??
Before Jungkook could answer~ a familiar~
Comforting scent of jasmine and rain reached them—their mother.
Both princes immediately stopped~ straightening up.
They bowed deeply~ and each took one of Seokjin’s hands~
Pressing a respectful kiss to his palm..
jungkook/crown prince
How was the tour of the city~ Mother~??
Jungkook asked~ his fierce eyes softening.
Seokjiin/Queen
It was… enlightening~
Seokjin said~ his smile not quite reaching his eyes.
Seokjiin/Queen
Though I saw something I did not like.
yoongi/ Prince
What is it~ Mother~??
Seokjiin/Queen
The slave trade.
Seokjiin/Queen
The way they sell people… especially omegas. They are treated as if they are not people at all~
Seokjiin/Queen
Just fragile things to be bought.
A deep sadness tinged Seokjin’s voice. Jungkook’s jaw tightened.
jungkook/crown prince
Do not worry~ Mother. When I became King~ I will change that rule for you. Or Father can do it now~??
Seokjiin/Queen
He cannot. Not with the old council and your grandmother against it~
Seokjin sighed. He then looked directly at Jungkook.
Seokjiin/Queen
And that is why I am here. I need to speak with you… Crown Prince.
jungkook/crown prince
Mother~ please. Do not call me that. I am your son. I like it better when you call me Jungkookie..
Yoongi muffled a laugh~ and a real smile finally broke through Seokjin’s worry.
It was ironic—just moments ago~
Jungkook was teaching his brother not to be soft.
Seokjin cupped Yoongi’s cheek.
Seokjiin/Queen
My little warrior~ go to your chambers now. I must speak with your brother alone.
Yoongi nodded~ giving Jungkook a final~ curious glance before leaving.
Once alone~ Seokjin led Jungkook to sit on the edge of his bed.
He could feel it now~ clearly—the potent~ swirling pheromones around his son.
Jungkook was not just any alpha;
He was an Enigma. His first rut was coming soon~
A time of intense vulnerability and instinct.
A time when others~ hungry for power and position~ would see an opportunity.
Seokjiin/Queen
Jungkook-ah~
Seokjin began~ holding his son’s hand.
Seokjiin/Queen
...I have taught you to respect all people~ especially omegas.
Seokjiin/Queen
To see their strength~ not just their fragility. You know your grandmother does not like this teaching.
jungkook/crown prince
Her opinions are meaningless~
Seokjiin/Queen
They are not meaningless when she holds power~
Seokjin said~ his voice urgent and low.
Seokjiin/Queen
Listen to me carefully. A storm is coming for you. You must be ready. You must be smart. And you must be careful of who you trust.
Jungkook looked into his mother’s worried eyes~
The protective fire in his own heart burning brighter.
jungkook/crown prince
What kind of storm~ Mother~??
Seokjin took a deep breath~ preparing to share the hard truth....
