Give your attendance my lovely readers.
Thunder roared in the distance.
Followed by the heavy, unforgiving pour of the rain.
The dark clouds thickened, swallowing the stars.
Even the moon seemed to hide from the tragedy unfolding below.
On the desolate road, black cars sat abandoned, doors flung wide open.
Dead bodies were scattered across the wet asphalt.
And there, in the very center of the blood and discarded guns, a breathtakingly beautiful young man sat on the cold road, cradling a bloodied man in his lap.
[Kim Taehyung]
*His pristine white wedding suit stained with crimson.*
Even covered in blood and soaked by the rain, his stunning beauty was undeniable.
His usually cold and indifferent face was completely shattered, displaying emotions the world had rarely seen on him.
[Kim Taehyung]
*Tears fell in rhythm with the rain..*😭
Taehyung had never cried like this in his entire life.
Not at his parents' funeral, nor at his grandfather's death.
[Kim Taehyung]
No...Jungkook...😭
But this man...this man who made his heart beat, who made him smile and laugh for the very first time.
The man who made him feel wanted, precious, and loved.
The man who brought 'life' into his empty, dead existence.
This man already held his heart and his life.
[Kim Taehyung]
Jungkook...don't leave me...please, stay awake... Please 😭*Heartbroken.*
[Kim Taehyung]
Kook..*Held him tightly, yet so gently.*
[Jeon Jungkook]
*Tried to open his eyes.*
Even covered in blood, with his wet hair plastered to his forehead, Jungkook's striking features couldn't be hidden.
But those doe eyes...always so sharp, cold, and full of vigor, now dimmed and dazed.
[Jeon Jungkook]
T-Tae..*Fought to see the beautiful man he had sworn his life to protect, care for, and love.*
[Jeon Jungkook]
*Reaching up with a trembling, bloodied hand, traced Taehyung's face.*
[Jeon Jungkook]
*Breathing heavily.*
Tae...do you remember when we first met?
[Jeon Jungkook]
The second I saw you...you already captured my heart.
[Jeon Jungkook]
From that day...no matter what I did to stop my feelings from growing...I couldn't help but love you.
[Jeon Jungkook]
I wanted you to be mine.
[Jeon Jungkook]
This must be my karma...for being selfish.
[Jeon Jungkook]
I was incapable...and I put your life at stake.💔
[Jeon Jungkook]
You were supposed to live in luxury, with a perfect life...and I couldn't give that to you.
[Jeon Jungkook]
Forgive me...💔
[Kim Taehyung]
*Crying harder.*
No... no... You did everything you could to save me.
[Kim Taehyung]
I don't regret escaping with you for a single second!
[Kim Taehyung]
I couldn't l-live with that beast.
[Kim Taehyung]
The only thing I regret in this life is holding back my feelings for you.😭
Taehyung had never confessed these things before, never told Jungkook the true depth of his feelings.
[Jeon Jungkook]
*Gathering his last strength, reached up to wipe Taehyung's tears.*
[Jeon Jungkook]
Don't cry..
[Kim Taehyung]
Jungkook, We should have enjoyed that time...the time we were together...without a care in the world.
[Kim Taehyung]
But because I'm weak, because I don't hold enough power to protect the both of us...they tore us apart.
*Heartbroken.*
[Kim Taehyung]
If I had just been strong and powerful, they could never separate us or bully us. It's my fault...because I'm so weak...😭
[Jeon Jungkook]
What are you saying...? I should be the one protecting you...
[Jeon Jungkook]
But because I was born lower than you, I didn't have the power to stay by your side...*cough*...
[Jeon Jungkook]
*Blood spilled from his mouth..*
[Jeon Jungkook]
In the next lifetime...if we meet...I will surely fall in love with you all over again...*cough* *cough*...
[Kim Taehyung]
In the next lifetime, I will be strong. *Firm voice.*
[Kim Taehyung]
I will hold onto every moment we have. I will express all my love to you...and never regret anything again.
[Kim Taehyung]
*Watched as the light faded from Jungkook's eyes, his breathing slowing to a stop.* (💔)
If only Taehyung had a second chance, he would defy fate itself to stop this from happening.
[Kim Taehyung]
*Whispers.* Kook, Without you, I cannot live...
[Jeon Jungkook]
*Closes his eyes for 'forever'.*
[Kim Taehyung]
Wait for me...we'll be together soon...
The heavy rain continued its endless pour.
Taehyung just stared at lifeless Jungkook, his own eyes emptying out.
His heart died the exact second Jungkook's did.

CH 2: The Rebirth of Kim Taehyung
Your~[Author N.@Jojo]
CU 1.
[Kim Taehyung]
*Stares at lifeless Jungkook.*
Taehyung's heart died the exact second Jungkook's did.
[Kim Taehyung]
*Slowly...looked up at the pitch-black sky.*
[Kim Taehyung]
*Thought about his tragic life.*
'He had a handsome fiancé.'
Life seemed perfect for him. That's what society said.
That's what everyone knew.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭 But they didn't know the truth.
[He was practically an orphan.]
[He had never experienced love from his parents, even when they were alive.]
[He had a cold, unloving grandfather who only used him as a corporate pawn, arranging a marriage to a literal beast disguised as a prince.]
[He had scheming, evil relatives circling him like wolves, waiting to pounce on his inheritance.]
[Kim Taehyung]
💭So what if I have wealth?
[Kim Taehyung]
💭So what if I carried the prestigious Kim surname?
[Kim Taehyung]
💭They were useless to me—just thorny decorations.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭My beauty? My brain? Useless.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭 I'm nothing but a puppet, a showpiece for my grandfather.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭I have never been allowed to be myself.
Which was why Taehyung grew up cold, indifferent, and completely closed off from the world.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭Until he came.
[Kim Taehyung]
*Looked down at the man in his arms.*
[Jeon Jungkook]
*Lifeless.*
[Kim Taehyung]
*Gently caressing Jungkook's freezing face.*
💭He became my light.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭 At the beginning, I didn't care about him.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭I barely even gave him a second glance, thinking he's just another pawn my grandfather planted as an aide.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭But Jungkook was different. He cared.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭 Even when I ignored him, he still offered reminders, advice, courage, and warnings that crossed the line of a mere aide.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭When everyone schemed against me, he's the only one who patiently stayed by my side.
[Kim Taehyung]
💭 Giving comfort, protection, and unconditional love.
Jungkook let Taehyung feel loved. He was the only person in Taehyung's life he never regretted knowing.
And now, his most precious person was gone. He was gone.
[Kim Taehyung]
*Closed his eyes.*
[Kim Taehyung]
*Holding him endearingly.*
Taehyung didn't feel the biting cold or the heavy, painful drops of rain stinging his skin.
For hours, he didn't move.
He didn't even hear sirens or the shouting voices of the first responders approaching.
[Kim Taehyung]
*Breathing grew fainter..*
[Kim Taehyung]
J-Jungkook.
[Kim Taehyung]
Never again will I be weak...
[Kim Taehyung]
Never again will I waste our precious time...
[Kim Taehyung]
I promise, in the next lifetime, I will protect you...and love you.
*Whispers.*
[Policemen] Officer
*Approached the young man holding the body.*
Yeo Jin-goo (Police Officer)
*Tried to speak to him.* Young man.
Yeo Jin-goo (Police Officer)
Hello!?
[Policemen] Officer
He's..! *Hesitates.*
Yeo Jin-goo (Police Officer)
*Reached out and checked Taehyung's pulse.*
Yeo Jin-goo (Police Officer)
*Sighed heavily.*
Yeo Jin-goo (Police Officer)
What a tragedy...everyone is dead here.
Thunder rumbles from afar.
It is morning, but thick, dark clouds swallow the sun, dimming the entire estate.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Gasped and opened his eyes.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Immediately sitting up in bed.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Drenched in cold sweat...trembling.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Heart-beating fastly.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Looks around and instantly recognizes his old bedroom.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Cannot believe what he is seeing..*
After a brief moment of shock, realization hits him.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Jumps out of bed and runs straight to his dressing room.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Stops right in front of the full-length mirror.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Stares at his reflection in shock.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Raises his hands to touch his own face.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭It can't be...
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭How am I young again?!
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭Is this all a dream?
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭But...it felt so real...
Everything is exactly the same, but he looks undeniably younger.
Like a boy just blooming into his youth.
Taehyung has a breathtakingly slender figure, a narrow waist, and long, elegant legs.
Even as a teenager, his ethereal beauty is enough to captivate any gaze.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Ignores his reflection, turns around.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Opens his bedroom door.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Grabs the first maid in the hallway.*
What date is it today?!
[Maid]
(Young master never speaks to the staff.)
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
Tell me! What is today's date?
*Desperate Voice.*
[Maid]
*Freezes in shock.*
[Maid]
*Never seen him show any emotion before.*
Taehyung's tight grip on her arm brings her back to reality.
[Maid]
Y-Young master...today is June 13.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
No...I mean, what year?
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
2013?! *Gasps and steps back.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
So...I am sixteen this year?!
[Maid]
*Stunned by Taehyung's reaction.*
[Maid]
*Wants to pull out her phone right now and capture this moment.*
[Maid]
(OMG!! Not even an earthquake or a bomb threat could crack his stoic facade.)
[Maid]
(What's happening?)
[Maid]
(I am totally bragging about this to the others later, lol.)
Taehyung shakes her shoulder slightly to snap her out of it.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
Jungkook? Where is Jungkook?!
[Maid]
*Blinking in confusion.*
Who is Jungkook, young master?
[Maid]
(There is no Jungkook in the Kim household.)
[Maid]
(As a senior maid, I know the name of every single staff member, from the kitchen crew to the bodyguards.)
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
(What!?)
*Deep fear and panic appear on his face.*
Just then, another maid approaches..
[Maids]
*Bowing politely.*
[Maids]
Young master...your bath is ready.
[Maids]
Your uniform is laid out on your bed.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
Uniform? *Frowning, Distracted.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
(Wait!) *Turns and runs back into his bedroom.*
The two maids are left in the hallway.
[Maid]
*Exchange a confused look.*
[Maids]
*Silently agreeing Kim Taehyung is acting very strange today.*

CU 2.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Grabs the uniform from the bed.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭It’s exactly the same...the same school...*Grips the fabric tightly.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭It really wasn't a dream.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭But if it wasn't a dream...then what is this?
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭Did everything actually happen? Did I reincarnate?
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭Did I travel back in time?
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭Unbelievable..!
He is Kim Taehyung, the young master of the powerful Kim family.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭I'm sixteen...It's June 13...The first day of school.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭Wait!
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭This is the exact day Jungkook is introduced to me✨.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Runs into his luxurious bathroom.*
Completely ignoring the luxurious bathtub filled with warm water and floating rose petals.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Steps into the shower and turns on the cold water.*
The cold water hits his skin.
Taehyung is certain now. It felt too real to be a dream.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭Grandfather is still alive.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Remembers everything perfectly.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭My ruin begins only after grandfather dies.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭That is when my greedy relatives strike.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭That is when my fiancé takes off his mask, revealing the monster underneath.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭They take away my wealth, my inheritance, and my company. My everything.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
I must prepare. This is my second chance. An opportunity to live with zero regrets.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
This time..
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
I will use everything I have as a weapon.
His wealth.
His brilliant mind.
His devastating beauty.
His powerful surname, Kim.
The cold drops feel just like the heavy rain from the tragic night.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*His dying vow ring out clearly and loudly in his ears.*
'Never again will I be weak...'
'Never again will I waste our precious time...'
'I promise. In the next lifetime...I will protect you... and love you.'
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Snaps his eyes open.*
Taehyung's old, empty stare is completely gone.
His eyes now look sharp, icy, and full of determination.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
💭This time, they won't get any to harm us again.
He's no longer weak 'Kim Taehyung'.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Whispers fiercely into the falling water.*
Never again...❄️
Taehyung usually takes a full hour to bathe. But today, he finishes in barely ten minutes.
Taehyung doesn't call for the maids. He simply puts on his high school uniform.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Hurries downstairs.*
[Maid 1]
Hey...have you seen Head Secretary Jeon today?
[Maid]
You need to stop daydreaming about him.
[Maid]
Can't you see he is completely devoted to his husband?
[Maid]
Mr. Seokjin would literally end you if you even tried.
[Maid 1]
*Scoffing.* I can still look! Who wouldn't want a piece of that?
[Maid 1]
He’s so smart, tall, and those dimples? 😍
[Maid 1]
Ugh. Plus, he's the highest-ranking staff under the Chairman.
[Maid 1]
Speaking of the Jeon family...I saw their son.
[Maid 1]
Oh my god, he is somehow even more gorgeous than his fathers!
[Maid 2]
Hey! Don't tell me you are going to try and seduce the son now? *Joking.*
[Maid 2]
You're too old! Leave the young, handsome ones to us blooming maidens.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Hear everything...feels a sudden, sharp ache in his heart.*
Taehyung imagines a scene where Jungkook is surrounded by pretty girls, flashing his gentle, bunny-like smile at them.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*An indescribable heaviness sinks into his heart.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
(No.)
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
(In this lifetime, I will do everything to make Jungkook love me again.)
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
(I will snatch him away...if that's required.)
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
(Kook...in the past, you stayed by my side and loved me in secret. This time...I will boldly claim you.)
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Steps into the doorway.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Cough loudly.*
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Glared Coldly at the Maid 2.*
Gossiping without any care❄️.
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
If my grandfather hears you, he will make sure you never take another step inside the Kim mansion ever again.❄️
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
Let alone see whoever it is you want to see.❄️
Kim Taehyung (Kim's Heir) Lv. Kook
*Left.*
[Maids]
Did...did the young master just speak? He actually spoke to us. *Shocked.*
[Maid]
Of course he can speak, he's not mute!
Jeon Seokjin, the stunningly handsome Head of the Household...fixing his son's tie.
Jeon Seokjin (Kook's Mom)
Stand up straight, Jungkook-ah.
Jeon Jungkook (Taehyung's Aide)
Eomma! *Helpless.*
Jeon Seokjin (Kook's Mom)
You are officially the young master's aide now.
Jeon Seokjin (Kook's Mom)
You represent the Jeon family. Their Loyalty and pride.
*Serious voice.*
Jeon Seokjin (Kook's Mom)
Show them that you have my worldwide handsome genes and your father's sharp brain.
Jeon Namjoon (Kook's Dad)
*Chuckling, adjusting his own glasses.*
Jinnie, let the boy breathe.
Jeon Namjoon (Kook's Dad)
He's trained for this his whole life. He’s going to do great.
Jeon Jungkook (Taehyung's Aide)
*Rolls his eyes internally..*
Jeon Jungkook (Taehyung's Aide)
I know, Appa. I know, Eomma. I won't let you down.
Jeon Jungkook (Taehyung's Aide)
I pledge my loyalty to the 'Kim family'.
Jeon Seokjin (Kook's Mom)
*Pats Jungkook's broad chest.*
That's my good boy.
Jeon Seokjin (Kook's Mom)
And for heaven's sake, Namjoon, don't break anything in front of the Chairman.
Jeon Namjoon (Kook's Dad)
*Pouting slightly.*
I break one expensive vase five years ago and I never hear the end of it.
Jeon Seokjin (Kook's Mom)
You aren't famous for being G.O.D because of that single vase.
[Jeon Namjoon-Jungkook] Father-Son Duo
*Leaves the villa.*
Jeon Namjoon (Kook's Dad)
*Goes inside to meet Chairman Kim.*
Meanwhile, Jungkook stays outside and waits.
