Enigma’S Petal (Taekook)
Start~
The concert hall buzzed with energy.
Thousands of fans screamed
Their voices bouncing off the walls like thunder.
Light sticks painted the darkness purple~
A sea of stars swaying in perfect rhythm.
It was the kind of night that should feel magical.
But Jeon Jungkook was already at his limit.
The meet-and-greet had been running for two hours.
Handshake after handshake.
The forced smiles were starting to hurt his jaw.
His wolf stirred beneath his skin~
Enigmas weren't built for this — too much noise~ too many scents~ too many bodies pressing close.
JUNGKOOK/ Enigma
💭 Calm down~
JUNGKOOK/ Enigma
💭 💭You're an Alpha. Everyone thinks you're an Alpha.
The lie sat heavy in his chest~ as it always did..
A girl stepped forward for her photo. She was pretty~
Maybe nineteen~ with bright eyes and trembling hands.
Fan
Oppa~ can I... can I hug you~?? Please 🥺
His manager gave a small nod from the side —
unknown
Just do it~ keep the fans happy.
JUNGKOOK/ Enigma
...Quickly~
Jungkook said~ voice flat.
The girl rushed in~ arms wrapping around his waist.
And then her hand slid lower. Much lower.
Something inside Jungkook snapped.
His hand shot out~ grabbing her wrist with more force than necessary.
He yanked it away from his body~ eyes flashing dark.
He said. Just one word. Cold as ice.
The girl stumbled back~ face pale.
Gasps rippled through the nearby fans. Security moved in quickly.
good heart~
J-Hope was at his side in seconds~ bright smile was already in place.
J HOPE/Alpha
Ah~ everyone~ our Jungkookie is just tired!
His voice was sunshine~ smooth and warm.
J HOPE/Alpha
Long tour~ you know~?? He needs rest. Who wants a photo with me instead~??
The crowd's attention shifted.
Some fans still whispered~ phones out~
Probably already posting about Jungkook's temper.
Another scandal. Another rumor.
He turned and walked off the stage~ fists clenched~ jaw tight.
His wolf was snarling inside him~ demanding release.
But Enigmas didn't get released.
Enigmas didn't get peace. They were rare. Unstable. Dangerous.
JUNGKOOK/ Enigma
That's why your family threw you away~
A voice whispered in his head.
JUNGKOOK/ Enigma
Because you were too much. Too difficult. Not worth keeping.
He punched the wall in the empty corridor.
The concrete cracked slightly.
Namjoon's voice came from behind him~ calm but firm.
Jungkook didn't turn around.
JUNGKOOK/ Enigma
I'm fine.
NAMJOON/ alpha
You're bleeding.
NAMJOON/ alpha
The fans are already posting. We need to do damage control.
JUNGKOOK/ Enigma
Let them post.
The tone made him finally look up.
Namjoon stood there with Jin beside him~ their fingers loosely intertwined.
A mated pair~ comfortable in their love~ open to the world.
Sometimes Jungkook hated them for it.
Not because he wasn't happy for them — he was —
But because they had something he could never have...
No one could know what he really was.
No one could ever get close enough.
JUNGKOOK/ Enigma
I'm going back to the dorm~
Jungkook muttered~ pushing past them.
SEOKJIIN/ omega
At least let the medic look at your hand.
But Jungkook was already gone..
In a small flower shop tucked between tall buildings~ Kim Taehyung was arranging roses.
His hands moved gently~ carefully placing each bloom in the display bucket.
The evening sun caught the petals~ making them glow pink and gold.
A middle-aged woman stopped to admire the arrangement.
.
Oh~ such beautiful flowers~Young man~ you have a real talent.
It was the kind of smile that made strangers feel like friends — warm~ genuine~ full of light.
TAEHYUNG/Omega
Thank you~ ahjumma. Would you like to buy some~?? These roses just came in today.
The woman bought a dozen.
Taehyung wrapped them in paper~ tying a neat bow around the stems.
His father watched from inside the shop~ pride shining in his tired eyes.
Mr. Kim said when Taehyung came back inside.
Mr kim
You sell more than all of us combined.
TAEHYUNG/Omega
That's not true~ Appa.
His grandfather shuffled out from the back room~ wiping flour from his hands.
The shop was half flowers~ half bakery — the Kim family's strange but wonderful creation.
grandfather
People like you~ Taehyung-ah. You have a good heart. It shows.
Taehyung ducked his head~ embarrassed by the praise.
His white school uniform was slightly wrinkled from the long day.
He should go home and change before helping at the shop~
But he'd stopped by anyway. He always did..
Weight of Expectations~
His phone buzzed in his pocket. A notification.
𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐁𝐓𝐒 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 — 𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐧.
Taehyung's heart clenched.
He clicked the article immediately~ scanning the words.
There were photos too — Jungkook's face twisted in anger~
J-Hope trying to cover it up~ the girl looking terrified. The comments were already brutal.
unknown
He's always had anger issues.
unknown
Such a disappointment
unknown
Why does he even bother being an idol~??
Taehyung's fingers trembled.
He knew those comments weren't true.
He knew Jungkook better than anyone — or at least he felt like he did.
He's followed Jungkook since debut.
He'd watched every video~ read every interview~ studied every expression.
Behind the anger~ there was pain.
Behind the coldness~ there was loneliness.
He could see it. Why couldn't anyone else~??
His father's voice broke through his thoughts.
Mr kim
Your aunt is here. She's waiting at home.
Taehyung's stomach dropped.
The walk home felt longer than usual.
Taehyung dragged his feet~ the evening breeze ruffling his soft golden hair.
He clutched his school bag tight~ already knowing what was coming.
His aunt visited every few weeks — always with the same lectures~
The same disappointed looks~ the same sharp words wrapped in fake concern.
His family home was modest but warm.
Potted plants lined the entrance.
The smell of fresh food drifted from the kitchen.
Loud laughter meant his brother Yoongi and brother-in-law Jimin were visiting too.
That made things better. Slightly.
Jimin called out as Taehyung stepped inside.
JIMIN/omega
Our little scholar. How was school~??
TAEHYUNG/Omega
Good~ jiminie hyung.
Taehyung slipped off his shoes.
TAEHYUNG/Omega
I got first place in literature again.
YOONGI/ alpha
Of course you did.
Yoongi ruffled his hair as he passed.
YOONGI/ alpha
Smartest omega in Seoul.
Their mother's voice carried a gentle warning.
Mrs kim
Don't make it about that.
But it was already too late. The aunt heard.
She said~ setting down her teacup with a loud clink.
Aunt
Taehyung. Come sit. We need to talk about your future.
Taehyung's father frowned.
Mr kim
Noona....He's seventeen. He doesn't need to worry about that yet.
Aunt
Seventeen turning eighteen~
Aunt
Next year~ he'll present fully. His scent will mature. He'll be eligible for mating. And what then~??
Aunt
Does he know how to run a household~?? Cook proper meals~?? Serve his Alpha~??
Mrs kim
He knows how to study~
Taehyung's mother said quietly.
Mrs kim
He's at the top of his class.
Aunt
Studying won't keep a mate happy.
The aunt's eyes narrowed at Taehyung.
Aunt
An omega's duty is to their Alpha. You need to learn practical skills~ not waste time with books. What Alpha wants a mate who can't even cook~??
Taehyung's father stood up straighter. His voice was calm but firm.
Mr kim
My son will learn whatever he wants to learn. He's still our baby. He doesn't need to prepare for a mate. We're here. We'll always be here..
Aunt
But brother when he marries—
YOONGI/ alpha
If he marries~
YOONGI/ alpha
His mate will love him as he is. Or they won't be worthy of him.
Jimin squeezed Yoongi's hand~ a silent show of support.
Taehyung's aunt looked around at all of them —
The united front~ the protective walls —
And sniffed in disapproval..
Aunt
Mark my words. He'll regret not learning properly.
It was that same smile he'd given the flower customer — sweet~ polite~
Hiding everything underneath.
TAEHYUNG/Omega
Thank you for your concern~ Auntie. I'll keep it in mind.. and try to learn.
He excused himself to his room.
