Scent Beyond Worlds
Chapter 1 — The Omega Who Fell From the Sky
The city lights of Seoul shimmered against the dark night sky.
At the center of the financial district stood the towering headquarters of Jeon Global, its black glass reflecting thousands of lights like a crown over the city.
Inside the top floor office, Jeon Jungkook stood near the window, his tall figure framed by the skyline.
At only twenty-eight, he was already the CEO of Jeon Global, a company powerful enough to influence entire markets.
Most people described him the same way.
Cold. Untouchable. Ruthless.
Jeon Jungkook
*didn’t turn around*
Make it ten.
Lee Sungho
*Assistant blinked*
Sir, the investors already—
Jeon Jungkook
*voice was calm, but the authority behind it was unmistakable*
The assistant quickly updated the schedule.
Jeon Jungkook
Anything else?
*asked*
Lee Sungho
That’s all for today, sir.
Jeon Jungkook
Good. You can leave.
The office door closed quietly behind the assistant, leaving Jungkook alone in the silent room.
Rain had begun falling outside, streaking across the massive windows.
Jeon Jungkook
*Picked up his coat and headed for the elevator.
He still had someone waiting for him at home*
Across the city, something strange was happening.
Far above the clouds, a bright flash of light cut across the sky like a falling star.
A figure appeared in the middle of that light.
And then—
He fell.
The rain poured down heavily as Kim Taehyung landed painfully in a dark alley.
The impact knocked the air out of his lungs.
For several seconds he couldn’t move.
His entire body ached.
Kim Taehyung
*Slowly pushed himself up, his head spinning*
…Where…?
He looked around.
Tall buildings surrounded him.
Strange lights.
Strange smells.
Nothing looked familiar.
Kim Taehyung
This isn’t… my world.
*heart started beating faster*
Just hours ago, he had been walking through the forest near his hometown.
But then the sky suddenly cracked open with a strange light.
And now…
He was here.
Kim Taehyung
*Pressed a hand against his chest, trying to steady his breathing*
Something felt wrong.
Very wrong.
A warm heat slowly began spreading through his body.
His eyes widened.
As an Omega, Taehyung knew exactly what that feeling meant.
His heat cycle was beginning.
But that was impossible.
He always carried suppressants with him.
Frantically, he searched his pockets.
Nothing.
His bag… his medicine… everything was gone.
Kim Taehyung
Damn it…
*His breathing became uneven*
Without suppressants, an omega’s heat could become extremely dangerous.
Taehyung stumbled out of the alley, trying to find help.
But the streets were almost empty because of the rain.
His vision started blurring.
The scent of his pheromones slowly spread into the air—soft, warm, and dangerously sweet.
Taehyung leaned against a wall, trying to stay conscious.
Kim Taehyung
I need… help…
*His legs finally gave out.
He collapsed near the sidewalk just as a black luxury car turned the corner*
Inside the car, Jungkook sat quietly while reading documents on his tablet.
The driver suddenly slowed down.
Jeon Jungkook
*Glanced up*
What is it?
Driver
There’s someone on the road.
Jungkook looked through the windshield.
A figure was lying near the sidewalk, barely moving.
For a moment, he considered ignoring it.
Then—
Something strange reached his senses.
A scent.
Soft.
Sweet.
Almost intoxicating.
Jeon Jungkook
*Frowned*
Stop the car.
The driver immediately hit the brakes.
Rain soaked Jungkook’s coat as he stepped out of the vehicle.
He walked toward the unconscious figure.
It was a young man.
Tall.
Beautiful.
Even under the rain, his features were striking.
Jungkook crouched down slightly.
That scent grew stronger.
He had never smelled anything like it before.
The young man suddenly stirred.
His eyes slowly opened, revealing deep, warm brown irises.
For a moment, they stared at each other.
Taehyung looked confused.
Kim Taehyung
…Where am I?
*His voice was soft and slightly breathless*
Jeon Jungkook
*Studied him carefully*
You’re in the middle of the street.
Kim Taehyung
*Blinked*
This place… smells strange.
Jeon Jungkook
*Raised an eyebrow*
That’s an odd thing to say.
Taehyung’s breathing became heavier.
The heat inside his body was getting worse.
Without thinking, he grabbed Jungkook’s sleeve.
Kim Taehyung
Please…
*His voice trembled slightly*
…Help me.
Jungkook looked down at the hand gripping his coat.
That strange scent surrounded him again.
Sweet.
Warm.
Addictive.
For the first time in years, Jungkook felt something disturb the calm control he always maintained.
Jeon Jungkook
*Stood up and turned to the driver*
Open the back door.
Jeon Jungkook
*Lifted Taehyung into his arms*
Kim Taehyung
*The omega instinctively leaned closer to him, seeking warmth*
Jeon Jungkook
*Stiffened slightly*
What’s your name?
Kim Taehyung
*Eyes were already closing again*
…Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung
…Kim Taehyung.
*His voice faded as he lost consciousness again*
Jungkook looked down at him silently.
Kim Taehyung.
A complete stranger.
Someone who had appeared out of nowhere.
Yet for some reason—
Jungkook had the strange feeling that meeting this omega would completely change his life.
He stepped into the car.
Jeon Jungkook
Take us home.
The door closed.
And as the car disappeared into the rainy night, neither of them knew that fate had just tied their lives together.
Chapter 2 — An Unexpected Guest
The rain had softened to a light drizzle when the black luxury car finally stopped in front of a tall iron gate.
The gate slowly opened, revealing a large mansion hidden behind rows of trees and carefully trimmed hedges. Warm golden lights glowed from the windows, creating a peaceful contrast to the cold night outside.
Inside the car, Jeon Jungkook glanced once more at the unconscious man beside him.
Kim Taehyung.
Even now, the faint sweet scent surrounding him lingered in the air.
Jeon Jungkook
*Frowned slightly.
He had never smelled anything like it before*
It was strangely calming… yet dangerously distracting.
Driver
Sir, we’ve arrived.
He stepped out of the car and gently lifted Taehyung into his arms again. The young man stirred faintly, his brows tightening as if he were uncomfortable.
Taehyung’s body felt unusually warm.
Even through his soaked clothes, Jungkook could feel the heat radiating from him.
Jeon Jungkook
…Strange
*murmured
He walked toward the mansion entrance*
Before he could even reach the doorbell, the door swung open.
A small boy stood there in pajamas, holding a stuffed dinosaur.
Seven-year-old Jeon Su Han ran forward excitedly, but he suddenly stopped when he noticed the person in Jungkook’s arms.
Jeon Su Han
*Round eyes widened in surprise*
Who’s that?
Jeon Jungkook
*Stepped inside the house while answering calmly*
A guest.
Jeon Su Han
*Tilted his head curiously*
A guest who’s sleeping?
Jeon Jungkook
*Ignored the question and headed toward the stairs*
Go to your room, Su Han.
Jeon Su Han
*Pouted but obediently stepped aside*
…Okay.
Still, he couldn’t help turning around to stare at the unfamiliar man being carried upstairs.
Jungkook entered one of the guest rooms and placed Taehyung carefully onto the bed.
The omega immediately curled slightly into the blankets, his breathing uneven.
Jungkook stepped back and studied him silently.
Up close, Taehyung looked even more striking.
Soft dark hair clung to his forehead from the rain.
His sharp yet delicate features looked almost unreal under the dim bedside lamp.
But the most noticeable thing was the warmth radiating from his body.
Jeon Jungkook
*Placed a hand lightly against Taehyung’s forehead*
…He’s burning up.
Just then, the door creaked open again.
A small head peeked inside.
Jeon Jungkook
*sighed quietly*
Su Han.
Jeon Su Han
*The boy stepped inside, curiosity shining brightly in his eyes.
He climbed onto a chair beside the bed and stared at Taehyung with fascination*
He’s really pretty.
Jeon Jungkook
*Raised an eyebrow*
Pretty?
Jeon Su Han
*Nodded seriously*
Like the princes in my storybooks.
Jeon Jungkook
*Crossed his arms*
He’s sick.
Jeon Su Han
*Leaned closer, observing Taehyung carefully*
Kim Taehyung
*Shifted slightly under the blanket, his lips moving faintly*
…Too hot…
*His voice was weak and breathless*
Jeon Su Han
*Blinked*
Dad, he’s talking.
Jeon Jungkook
*Stepped closer again*
Kim Taehyung
*Brows were tightly furrowed, and his hands gripped the bedsheets as if he were struggling with something invisible*
The scent in the room suddenly grew stronger.
That same soft fragrance.
Warm.
Sweet.
Almost intoxicating.
Jeon Su Han
*Sniffed the air curiously*
Dad, what smells so nice?
Jeon Jungkook
*Stiffened slightly*
You smell it too?
Jeon Su Han
*Looked confused*
It smells like flowers.
Jungkook’s expression darkened slightly.
Something about this situation felt… abnormal.
Suddenly, Taehyung grabbed Jungkook’s wrist.
The sudden movement startled both of them.
His eyes were still closed, but he murmured softly,
Kim Taehyung
*Grip tightened weakly*
Don’t… go…
Jeon Su Han
*Looked between them with wide curious eyes*
Dad, what’s an alpha?
Jeon Jungkook
*Slowly pulled his hand free*
…Nothing.
Jeon Jungkook
*But his mind had already started racing*
(Alpha?
What did that mean?)
*He looked down at the unconscious omega again*
Jeon Jungkook
(Kim Taehyung.
Who exactly are you?)
Inside Taehyung’s restless mind, fragments of memories flickered like broken pieces of glass.
His world.
His home.
The scent of forests, the warmth of sunlight, and the unspoken rules every omega understood.
Without suppressants, heat cycles could become dangerous.
Especially near an alpha.
But this world didn’t have alphas.
Right?
Then why…
Even in his unconscious state, Taehyung instinctively moved closer to Jungkook’s warmth.
The scent surrounding the man felt strangely comforting.
Safe.
His body reacted before his mind could understand.
Jeon Su Han
*Gasped softly*
Dad! He likes you!
Jeon Jungkook
*Stared at Taehyung silently*
For someone he had only met less than an hour ago, Kim Taehyung was already disturbing the perfectly controlled order of his life.
And something deep inside Jungkook told him—
This was only the beginning.
Chapter 3 — A Fever That Won’t Fade
Morning sunlight slowly filtered through the large windows of the mansion, casting soft golden light across the quiet room.
Outside, the rain from the previous night had stopped, leaving the air cool and fresh.
Inside the guest room, Kim Taehyung lay restless beneath the blankets.
His breathing was uneven, and his brows were tightly furrowed as if he were trapped in a nightmare.
Kim Taehyung
Too… hot…
*His fingers clutched the sheets weakly.
Even in his sleep, the heat burning inside his body refused to calm down*
Downstairs, the dining room was filled with the quiet clinking of cutlery.
Jeon Su Han
*Sat at the table, swinging his legs slightly while eating breakfast*
Across from him sat Jeon Jungkook, calmly drinking his coffee while reading news on his tablet.
But Su Han’s attention wasn’t on his food.
It was upstairs.
Finally, he couldn’t hold his curiosity anymore.
Jeon Jungkook
*Didn’t look up*
Yes?
Jeon Su Han
That guest… is he still sleeping?
Jeon Jungkook
*Paused slightly before replying*
Yes.
Jeon Su Han
*Frowned*
But he looked really sick.
Jeon Jungkook
*placed the tablet down on the table*
The doctor is coming.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Right on time.
—
A few minutes later, the family doctor stepped out of the guest room, looking slightly confused.
Jungkook stood in the hallway, arms crossed.
Doctor
Well?
*The doctor adjusted his glasses*
His body temperature is unusually high, but I can’t find any illness.
Jeon Jungkook
*Frowned*
What do you mean?
Doctor
I mean physically he seems perfectly healthy.
*The doctor looked puzzled*
It’s almost like his body is reacting to something internal.
Jeon Jungkook
*Glanced toward the bedroom door*
And?
Doctor
I gave him medicine for the fever, but honestly…
*The doctor sighed*
I’ve never seen a case like this before.
Jeon Jungkook
*Remained silent for a moment*
…Thank you. That will be all.
After the doctor left, Jungkook slowly opened the guest room door.
—
Inside the room, Taehyung was still lying on the bed, his dark hair spread messily across the pillow.
His face was flushed from the fever.
Jungkook walked closer.
The strange scent from last night still lingered faintly in the air.
Sweet.
Soft.
Almost like flowers blooming in spring.
Jeon Jungkook
*Frowned slightly*
(Why did this scent only appear when he was near this man?)
Just then—
Taehyung stirred.
Kim Taehyung
*His eyelashes trembled before his eyes slowly opened.
For a moment, he looked completely lost.
His gaze moved around the unfamiliar room*
The tall ceiling.
The large windows.
The elegant furniture.
Kim Taehyung
This place…
*His voice was hoarse*
…Where am I?
Jeon Jungkook
*Spoke calmly*
My house.
Kim Taehyung
*Turned his head toward the voice.
Their eyes met again.
Taehyung blinked slowly as if trying to remember something*
You…
Fragments of last night’s memories returned to him.
The rain.
The street.
The man who carried him.
Taehyung suddenly tried to sit up.
But the moment he moved, dizziness hit him.
Taehyung froze slightly.
His senses suddenly became sharp.
The scent.
It was stronger now.
His omega instincts immediately reacted.
Warm.
Comforting.
Powerful.
Taehyung’s eyes widened slightly.
Impossible.
That scent…
It felt exactly like an alpha’s presence.
But that couldn’t be true.
This world didn’t have secondary genders.
Right?
Jeon Jungkook
*Noticed his strange expression*
Is something wrong?
Kim Taehyung
*Quickly looked away*
N-no.
*His heart was beating too fast.
His heat was still lingering, making his thoughts messy*
Just then—
The bedroom door suddenly burst open.
Jeon Su Han
Dad!
*ran inside excitedly before stopping beside the bed.
His eyes sparkled as he stared at Taehyung*
You woke up!
Taehyung blinked in surprise.
The small boy looked up at him curiously.
Jeon Su Han
Are you feeling better?
Kim Taehyung
*Hesitated before giving a small nod*
I think… so.
Jeon Su Han
*Smiled brightly*
I’m Su Han!
*He pointed toward Jungkook*
And that’s my dad!
Kim Taehyung
*Looked between them*
…Your dad?
Jeon Su Han
*Nodded proudly*
Jeon Jungkook.
Taehyung’s eyes widened slightly.
Even though he had only been in this world for one night, he had already seen that name on giant buildings across the city.
Jeon Global.
One of the most powerful companies in the country.
And the man standing beside the bed…
…was its CEO.
Taehyung suddenly felt extremely awkward.
Kim Taehyung
…Thank you for helping me last night.
Jeon Jungkook
*Studied him quietly*
What were you doing alone in the street?
Kim Taehyung
*froze.
He couldn’t exactly say he fell from another world*
…I got lost
*he said carefully*
Jungkook didn’t look convinced.
But before he could ask more questions, Su Han suddenly climbed onto the bed.
Jeon Su Han
You smell really nice.
Kim Taehyung
*Blinked*
…What?
Jeon Su Han
*Sniffed the air again*
Like flowers!
Taehyung’s heart dropped.
His pheromones.
They were still leaking.
He quickly looked at Jungkook.
But the CEO’s expression remained calm.
Yet something in his dark eyes had changed.
Interest.
Curiosity.
And something deeper Taehyung couldn’t understand yet.
Jeon Jungkook
*Spoke slowly*
…Kim Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook
You’ll stay here until you recover.
Kim Taehyung
*Hesitated*
But—
Jeon Jungkook
That wasn’t a suggestion.
*tone was calm but firm*
Kim Taehyung
*Realized immediately.
This man was used to people obeying him*
Jeon Su Han
*Clapped happily*
Yay! Now we have a new friend!
Taehyung looked between the excited child and the cold CEO.
Somehow…
He had a feeling his life had just become far more complicated.
And deep inside, Jungkook was beginning to realize something strange.
The more time he spent near this man—
The harder it became to ignore that intoxicating scent.
