Trigger of Fate
The golden cage
Seoul National University. To most, it’s a dream. To Kim Taehyung, it’s a hunting ground where he is the only prize worth catching.
He strolled towards the lecture hall, lost in thought, when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out to see a message from his soulmate.
Park Jimin | Omega
TAE!! Where are you? Prof. Lee is already asking for you. 🙄
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Sighs)
Walking up the stairs now. Tell him I died.
Park Jimin | Omega
Don't joke like that! Seriously, he looks creepier than usual today. He kept staring at your empty desk.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
He’s a pig. I’ve survived 21 years of being an orphan and a so called 'Rare Omega.' I can handle a thirsty professor.
Park Jimin | Omega
Just be careful. My 'soulmate' senses are tingling. I’m sitting in the front row to block his view of you. 💅
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Smile)
What would I do without you, Chim?
Park Jimin | Omega
Probably be even more of a sassy brat. Now hurry!
Taehyung adjusted his scent-blockers, but he could still feel the phantom weight of eyes on him as he walked through the halls. Being a "Rare Omega" wasn't a blessing—it was a target on his back.
Prof Lee
(Adjusts glasses)
Nice of you to join us, Mr. Kim. Please, see me after class to discuss your... 'performance.'
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Coldly)
My grades are the highest in the department, Professor. What is there to discuss?
Prof Lee
(Smirks)
There are some things you can't learn from a textbook, Taehyung.
In another part of the city, inside a skyscraper made of glass and secrets, a different kind of meeting was taking place.
???
The Professor has outlived his usefulness. He’s been skimming from our accounts at the university.
???
(Cleaning a silver handgun)
And you want me to do the cleaning.
???
You are the best assassin we have. Do it tonight. Make it quiet.
???
(Cold gaze)
Consider it done. I don't care about the money. I just want the job finished, so I can get back to my own business.
???
You're stubborn, just like your mother. Don't leave any witnesses.
He stood up, pulling a black mask over his face. He didn't care about the Professor, and he certainly didn't care about love or bonds. To him, the world was just targets and timing.
Tonight, his target was at the university. And Taehyung was about to be in the wrong place at the perfect time.
NAME : Kim Taehyung
SECON GENDER : Rare Omega
AGE: 21
OCCUPATION : College Student
Sassy, traumatized, and incredibly smart. He uses his "Business Major" brain to negotiate with killers and refuses to believe in the "Mate Bond."
He is an Orphan
NAME : Park Jimin
SECOND GENDER : Omega
AGE : 22
OCCUPATION : College Student
Taehyung’s ride-or-die best friend. He is the emotional heart of the story and will risk his life to get his soulmate back. Sassy pro max.
The Predator's Trap
The sun had dipped below the horizon, casting long, skeletal shadows across the campus. The lecture hall was empty, save for two people. The silence was heavy—suffocating.
Tae's phone lit up with a new message
Park Jimin | Omega
💬 Tae, I’m waiting outside the main gate. Why are you taking so long??
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
💬 He won't let me leave. He keeps "reviewing" my last paper.
Park Jimin | Omega
(Angry)
💬 That’s BS! Do you want me to come back and kick his door down?
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
💬 No, don't. He’s already looking for an excuse to fail us. Just wait for me. 10 minutes.
Park Jimin | Omega
(Worried)
💬 Fine. But if you aren't out in 10, I’m calling the police. Or your ghost parents. I don't care.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Slightly smiles)
💬 I’ll be fine, Chim. I can handle him.
Taehyung put his phone away, his expression turning cold as he turned back to Professor Lee's office
Prof Lee
(Leans back, eyes scanning Taehyung)
You know, Taehyung... for an orphan, you have quite a high-and-mighty attitude.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
It’s called self-respect. You should try it sometime, Professor.
Prof Lee
(Stands up, walking toward him)
You think your "Rare Omega" status makes you special? It just makes you a more expensive toy.
Prof Lee
(Locks the door with a click)
No one is coming for you.
Taehyung’s heart skipped a beat. He reached for the heavy stapler on the desk, his knuckles turning white. He felt unlucky—always the victim, always the target.
Suddenly, a red laser dot appeared on the Professor’s forehead.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Blinks)
What is—?
SHATTER! The window exploded inward. A blur of black tactical gear dropped from the ceiling. Before the Professor Lee could blink, a silenced shot echoed through the room.
Prof Lee
(Gasps, clutching his chest)
...Wh-who?
???
(Cold gaze)
Your time is up.
The Professor collapsed. Blood pooled on the carpet, turning the white rug a deep crimson. Taehyung froze, his heart hammering against his ribs.
???
(Slowly holsters his suppressed pistol and wipes a drop of blood from his cheek)
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Eyes wide)
...You killed him.
???
(Steps closer, his boots crunching on glass)
He was on my list. You weren't.
He stepped over the body, his heavy boots silent on the floor. The scent of dark chocolate and gunpowder—the scent of a Dominant Alpha—overwhelming the room.
He stopped. He pulled down his mask, revealing a sharp jawline and eyes that seemed to see through Taehyung’s "cold" mask. He leaned in, his nose brushing against Taehyung’s scent gland.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Glares, trying to hide his trembling)
Are you going to kill the witness too? Do it then. My life was already a mess.
???
(Deep voice)
You don't smell like a victim.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Glares)
And you don't smell like a regular student.
Jeon Jungkook | Dominant Alpha
I’m Jeon Jungkook. And from this moment... you belong to the crime scene. Which means you belong to me.
NAME : Jeon Jungkook
Dominant Alpha
AGE : 27
A cold, lethal assassin who secretly wants to break away from his father's shadow. He is possessive, intense, and strangely drawn to Taehyung’s scent.
The Crimson Exist
The heavy scent of Alpha dominance—sharp like a winter storm—clashed with the metallic tang of blood. Taehyung’s legs felt like lead. He looked from the dead body to the man standing over it with terrifying calm.
Outside, Jimin's heart skipped a beat as the gunshot echoed through the air. His thumbs flew across the screen
Park Jimin | Omega
💬 TAEHYUNG!! I hear a bang!!
Park Jimin | Omega
💬 Was that a gunshot?? People are running out of the building!
Park Jimin | Omega
💬 ANSWER ME OR I’M BURNING THIS UNIVERSITY DOWN.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Taehyung's fingers trembled as he typed)
💬 Jimin... don't come in.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
💬 Run. Just run.
Park Jimin | Omega
💬 WHAT?! NO! Where are you?!
Taehyung’s phone was suddenly snatched from his hand. He gasped, looking up into Jungkook’s dark, unreadable eyes.
Jeon Jungkook | Dominant Alpha
(Looks at the screen)
'Soulmate,' hm?
(Throws the phone onto the bloody desk)
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
Hey! That’s expensive!
(Sassy despite the fear)
Jeon Jungkook | Dominant Alpha
(Steps closer, pinning Taehyung against the wall)
Your life is more expensive. The police will be here in three minutes. If they find you here with a dead Professor, who do you think they’ll blame?
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Bitterly)
The orphan. They always do.
Jeon Jungkook | Dominant Alpha
(Smirks, his thumb brushing Taehyung’s jaw)
Exactly. And he wanted no witnesses.
Jungkook pulled a pair of black zip-ties from his belt. Taehyung’s eyes widened, his "Omega" instincts screaming at him to flee, but his body felt strangely paralyzed by Jungkook’s scent.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Glares)
So kill me. Get your 'job' finished.
Jeon Jungkook | Dominant Alpha
(Leans into Taehyung's ear, whispering)
I don't kill beautiful things.
(Clicks the ties around Taehyung’s wrists)
Jeon Jungkook | Dominant Alpha
You’re coming with me.
Outside, the blue and red lights of police cruisers began to dance against the office walls. Jungkook grabbed Taehyung by the waist, pulling him toward the shattered window.
Kim Taehyung | Rare Omega
(Panicked)
Wait! What about Jimin? He’s waiting for me!
Jeon Jungkook | Dominant Alpha
(Coldly)
If he’s smart, he’ll stay away from the Jeons.
With a sudden leap, Jungkook hauled Taehyung out of the window and into the cold night air, descending the rappelling rope just as the office door was kicked open by the police.
Taehyung closed his eyes, the wind whipping his hair. He was an orphan, a loner, and now... he was the captive of the city's most dangerous Alpha.
