The Ore They Tried To Erase (Taekook)
1
Seoul felt indifferent to Kim Taehyung’s return.
He stepped out of the airport calmly and composed, Ore instincts humming beneath his skin. Eight years ago, he had left as a child blamed for knowing the truth. Today, he returned as a man who understood numbers, systems, and how lies collapsed when audited.
His mother had found out about the affair.
His father’s secretary.
The woman who later became his second wife.
She had argued.
Driven in tears.
And never come home.
Park Jimin (Omega)
*Park Jimin adjusted his sunglasses, Omega scent controlled but sharp*
You sure you want to start college like a normal student after… everything?
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
*Taehyung smiled faintly* Normal keeps suspicion low.
Park Jimin (Omega)
You're terrifying when you're calm.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Learned it young
Across the city, the Kim household lived comfortably in denial.
Kim Sara (Omega- Tae's step sister)
Dad someone told me tae landed today.
Kim Hyun bin (Tae's father)
Nonsense
Kim Ji Yeon (Hyun bin's wife)
Even if he did, he's nothing
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
*Taehyung watched the messages appear on a secure screen*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Yes hyung
Min Yoongi (Alpha)
I’ll watch from my side. Don’t approach me first.
This time, Taehyung would balance it himself.

Kim Global University buzzed with privilege and ambition.
Taehyung walked through the main hall beside Jimin, posture relaxed, eyes observant. Ore presence subtle but unmistakable to those who mattered.
On the upper floor, Min Yoongi stood with Jeon Jungkook, reviewing architectural plans for a new business wing they’d jointly funded.
Min Yoongi (Alpha)
*Yoongi’s eyes drifted down—
And locked.
His breath stalled.
Taehyung.
Older. Sharper. Alive.*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
*Jungkook noticed immediately. Yoongi never reacted to anything*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
*Jungkook asked calmly, following his gaze* What?
Min Yoongi (Alpha)
*Yoongi didn't answer*
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
*Down below, Taehyung felt it—a familiar presence. He didn’t look up. Didn’t need to.*
Park Jimin (Omega)
Someone's watching you
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
Let them.
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
*Jungkook’s attention sharpened* You know him.
Min Yoongi (Alpha)
*Yoongi’s jaw tightened* Drop it.
That alone was an answer.
Later, in the lecture hall, Jungkook felt it—Ore scent cutting through Alpha dominance like a blade. He turned.
Interest sparked instantly.
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
That Ore… is it him *text yoongi*
Min Yoongi (Alpha)
Don't get involved. *reply*
Jeon Jungkook (Alpha)
"Too late"
From that moment on, Jungkook watched Taehyung not as a curiosity—but as a threat to his control.
And Taehyung, quietly, marked both men as variables in his plan.
