The Reborn Omega's Vow
1
Guest 1
Is that… Jeon Jungkook? The audacity! He caused his own pup’s death, and he still dares to show his face here? Has he no shame?
Guest 2
Yes, that’s him. The so-called Royal Omega. I heard he went to meet his lover and locked the young master in the car. The poor pup literally suffocated to death in the blistering heat!
Guest 1
Is he even the biological mother? Surely he must be a step-parent! The Oh family should take that Omega to court for murder!
[Jeon Jungkook stands frozen. His eyes are vacant, empty pools. All he can see is the black-and-white photo of his beloved pup set in the center of the white chrysanthemums.]
[Just days ago, they had been planning their vacation. Now, his treasured pup is a cold, lifeless corpse.]
[Oh Sehun, his expression cold and emotionless, strides over. His dominating Alpha pheromones suffocate the room.]
Oh- Sehun
(Suppressing his fury) Jeon Jungkook… have you not caused us enough public humiliation already?
Jungkook (Past)
(His eyes completely dry, responding mechanically) Sehun, that wasn’t me.
Jungkook (Past)
The Omega in that photo is not me!
Oh- Sehun
(Laughs coldly, eyes burning with rage) Do you think I’m blind?😡
[Everyone in the high-society world knows about the cheating Royal Omega who made the powerful Alpha Oh Sehun the cuckold of the century. Everyone knows he left his pup to die in a boiling car!]
Oh- Sehun
(Disgusted) Guards! Throw him out of here! I cannot stand to look at this promiscuous, revolting creature!
[Jungkook’s slender, trembling fingers reach behind his back. Right in front of the furious family and glaring guests, he pulls down the zipper of his black mourning suit.]
[He lets the fabric slip past his shoulders, exposing his pale skin—and a delicate butterfly tattoo resting right over his heart.]
Jungkook (Past)
Sehun, look! Your name is tattooed on my chest! The Omega in that paparazzi photo doesn’t have it!
[The crowd whispers viciously, their judgmental gazes piercing Jungkook like daggers. But Jungkook doesn’t care. All he wants is for his Alpha mate to believe him.]
Jungkook (Past)
(Pleading) The Omega who was photographed with that man wasn’t me! I had no idea Yunjin was in the car! He was my pup, too! How could I kill my own flesh and blood!?
[Sehun’s icy eyes flash. He steps into Jungkook’s space, wrapping a large, punishing hand around the Omega's waist.]
[Sehun lowers his head, his face hovering right over Jungkook's chest. For a split second, Jungkook thinks Sehun is going to kiss the butterfly.]
[A sharp, blinding pain rips through Jungkook’s chest.]
[Sehun hasn't kissed him. The arrogant Alpha has savagely bitten directly into the butterfly tattoo.]
[When Sehun lifts his head, blood spills from the corners of his lips, making his handsome features look terrifyingly demonic.]
[Accepting a pristine white handkerchief handed to him by a servant, Oh Sehun calmly wipes the blood from his lips.]
[His commanding Alpha voice rings mercilessly in Jungkook’s ears.]
Oh- Sehun
Someone get in here and throw this Omega out!
Hwang Hyunjin
Sehun, please... let me help him out. After all, he is my brother.
[Hwang Hyunjin, playing the role of the perfect, gentle Omega, walks over to Jungkook. Stepping behind him, he slowly pulls up the zipper of Jungkook's mourning suit.]
[Then, like a dutiful and caring younger brother, he gently takes hold of Jungkook’s hand.]
Hwang Hyunjin
Jungkook, come with me….
[Jungkook doesn’t move an inch. Instead, his tearless eyes stare directly at little Yunjin lying in the bed of pristine white flowers, completely reluctant to leave his pup. He just wants one more look at his precious baby.]
[Leaning in close, Hyunjin drops his voice into a vicious whisper right against Jungkook’s ear.]
Hwang Hyunjin
(Whispering) Brother... don’t you want to know how your pup died? If you do, be a good Omega and come with me.
[Jungkook turns around, staring blankly. Hyunjin paints a beautiful, reassuring smile on his face for the crowd.]
Hwang Hyunjin
(Loud enough for guests to hear) There’s a good boy. Come with me
[The guests murmur in silent praise, admiring Hyunjin's gentle and considerate nature in the face of such a scandal. Once they are pulled into a secluded corner, Hyunjin's smile drops.]
Hwang Hyunjin
My dear brother, do you know why your pup died? It was because I told him that you were going to give him a surprise. That was why he snuck into your car and hid inside without you knowing.
Hwang Hyunjin
And of course, the Omega in that photo wasn’t you. He was just a model I paid heavily to undergo cosmetic surgery to look exactly like you.
Hwang Hyunjin
Regardless of how much I hate you for taking Sehun away from me, you’re still a part of this family. I couldn't possibly cause a public embarrassment without making it believable.
Hwang Hyunjin
I have a video right here of your Yunjin suffocating to death. Do you want to see it?
[Jungkook stares at him, eyes wide with horror as Hyunjin’s voice buzzes in his ears like poison.]
Hwang Hyunjin
Hearing all this... don’t you hate me to the core? But did you know that ever since I learned of your existence, I’ve always cursed you and wished for your death!?
Hwang Hyunjin
I tried so many times to have you killed, but fate kept sparing you. This time, however, you cannot hide. As of now, Jeon Jungkook, you have lost everything…. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you pitiful thing! No one, absolutely no one, believes you!
[Hyunjin glances past Jungkook. A car is speeding dangerously toward the memorial hall's side street. He checks his watch. The timing is perfect.]
Hwang Hyunjin
Brother, don’t you want to watch the video of Yunjin?!
[Hyunjin pulls out his phone and taps play. He forces the screen in front of Jungkook's face.]
[📱 Video Playback: On the screen, little Yunjin can be seen banging frantically against the tinted car window, his small face twisted in absolute despair.]
[📱 Video Playback: He is screaming for help, using all his tiny might. His dark hair is plastered to his forehead with sweat. Slowly, his strength ebbs away in the blistering, sauna-like heat of the locked car.]
[📱 Video Playback: Just before his eyes flutter shut, he makes one last, weak effort, calling out, "Papa... Papa..."]
[Jungkook’s eyes burn blood-red. The sheer, suffocating rage and hatred finally break through his shock.]
[When Jungkook first joined the family, Hyunjin had welcomed him with warmth, tricking him into believing they were truly brothers. Now, he realizes just how deep Hyunjin's twisted hatred ran.]
[Hyunjin hated him enough to murder an innocent pup. Hyunjin hated him enough to record his baby's agonizing last moments just for fun.]
Jungkook (Past)
(Voice trembling with pure, lethal fury) Hwang Hyunjin… I’m going to kill you.
[At that moment, the Royal Omega's mind goes entirely blank. There is only one thought left: Kill him. Kill Hwang Hyunjin to avenge poor Yunjin.]
2
[Although Hyunjin knows very well that Jungkook is teetering on the edge of madness, the malicious Omega doesn’t move. Instead, he stands perfectly still, not resisting when Jungkook lunges forward and violently grabs him by the throat.]
[Seeing the Royal Omega's face twisted with agony and rage, Hyunjin inwardly smirks. How pathetic. How could an elite Alpha like Sehun ever be tied down to such a broken creature?]
Hwang Hyunjin
Gasping for air, but mocking) Brother… killing me won’t bring your little pup back….
[At those words, Jungkook’s eyes go completely dead. He tightens his grip, pressing harder against Hyunjin’s windpipe.]
[Out of the corner of his eye, Hyunjin sees the heavy truck speeding down the side street toward them. Soon. Very soon!!]
[Oh Sehun, noticing the commotion, charges toward them with terrifying Alpha speed. Seeing Jungkook attacking his precious 'younger brother,' Sehun grabs Jungkook’s wrists and violently shoves him backward.]
[There is a deafening, sickening thud as Jungkook’s frail body is slammed by the speeding truck. He is thrown across the wet asphalt like a broken doll.]
[Jungkook slowly opens his eyes, staring up at the gray sky. Dark clouds violently gather, and heavy rain begins to pour. Under the relentless pelting of the icy raindrops on his bleeding face, he feels no physical pain at all. Only a hollow, echoing numbness.]
[Slowly, he turns his head. Through his blurring vision, he sees Hyunjin nestling perfectly into Sehun’s strong Alpha embrace.]
Hwang Hyunjin
(Sobbing hysterically) Sehun, quick! Call an ambulance! My brother… Jungkook…!
[Pushing Sehun aside to put on the performance of a lifetime, Hyunjin falls to his hands and knees, crawling through the rain to Jungkook’s dying body.]
Hwang Hyunjin
(Crying loudly for the crowd) Brother, don’t be scared! The ambulance will be here soon! Please… don’t leave me!
[Jungkook wearily shuts his eyes. He doesn't want to witness Hyunjin’s sickeningly superb acting for another second. He had been deceived by that gentle, loving facade for years.]
[Like a movie, his tragic life flashes before his eyes. Hyunjin’s fake warmth. Sehun’s cold, transactional affection. It is only in this dying breath that Jungkook realizes his marriage was nothing but a cruel joke. A trap.]
[He only feels sorry that his poor, innocent pup was the sacrificial lamb in their twisted game.]
[Yunjin… don’t be afraid. Papa is coming to you.]
[But as his vision fades to black, a suffocating wave of grievance washes over him. If the heavens could give him just one more chance… he would choose a different path.]
[If he could be reborn, he would make them pay. Blood for blood. He would drag Sehun and Hyunjin into a living hell.]
Jungkook (Past)
(Gasping loudly) Yunjin… Yunjin!
[Roused awake from the horrific nightmare, Jungkook doesn't even have the chance to process his surroundings before a sharp piece of chalk bounces hard off his forehead.]
Jungkook (Past)
(Disoriented, breathing heavily) …Yes?
Teacher
Dozing off in the middle of class and screaming in your sleep? Stand at the back of the classroom right now!
[Jungkook stumbles out of his desk, his heart pounding out of his chest. He looks around wildly. Was the blood, the rain, the truck… just a dream?]
[He must be dreaming. Right before his death, he had prayed for a second chance. He had sworn to destroy Hyunjin and secure a spot at Capital University. Have the heavens actually heard his desperate plea?]
[Leaning against the back wall, Jungkook’s deep, dark eyes stare intensely at the math equations on the blackboard. In his past life, he was a terrible student, manipulated into ignoring his studies. Now, the numbers look like a foreign language.]
[He shifts his gaze out the window. The old parasol tree is flourishing with vibrant green leaves, exactly as it did years ago.]
[Trembling, Jungkook digs his perfectly manicured nails deep into his own thigh.]
Jeon Jungkook
(Wincing softly) Ah… it hurts….
[It hurts. The pain is sharp and grounding.]
[That means only one thing. He isn't dreaming. He… he has actually been reborn!]
[Jungkook's sharp gaze snaps back to the front of the classroom. Written clearly in red chalk in the top corner of the blackboard is a stark reminder of exactly when he is:]
[100 Days Left Until the College Entrance Exams]
[Jeon Jungkook slowly lowers his trembling hand from his thigh. The sharp sting lingers.]
[So... was all this for real, then?]
[Had his desperate, dying wish actually been granted? Was he truly sent back to that coveted time before his college entrance exams? Did this mean the Reborn Royal Omega had been given the right to start over and rewrite his tragic fate?]
[Jungkook looks earnestly at the math exercises on the blackboard, focusing intently until the bell rings, signaling the end of the lesson.]
classmate 1
Hey, Jungkook. The teacher asked us to think about our college applications. What university are you even aiming for?
Jeon Jungkook
Capital University!
[Brimming with cold confidence, Jungkook blurts out the name. Suddenly, the entire classroom falls dead silent. Except for the gentle swish of the breeze rustling through the pages of textbooks, there isn’t a single sound.]
[But in less than a minute, the entire class explodes into raucous, mocking laughter.]
[Jungkook frowns slightly. He knows exactly why they are laughing. Every year, his academic results have always placed him in the absolute bottom ten of their cohort. The old Jungkook was too distracted by his scheming relatives to study.]
[With garbage grades like that, he has the gall to want to enroll at the elite Capital University? To them, it is an astronomically impossible daydream.]
[But he is reborn. And from this moment on, no one but him will dictate his life. When he says he is going to Capital University, he means it.]
Jeon Jungkook
You guys don’t believe me?
[A tall, arrogant student stands up from the front row. It is his cousin, Jeon Mingyu, an overly confident Beta who constantly looks down on him. Mingyu looks jeeringly at Jungkook.]
Jeon Mingyu
Jungkook, why are you blabbing your mouth off without using your brain? If a trashy student like you gets accepted into Capital University, I’ll adopt your family name!
Jeon Jungkook
(Without a shred of courtesy) Jeon Mingyu, are you intellectually challenged? Don’t you know we already share the same family name?
[The class stifles a few snickers. As a top student in Year Three, Mingyu has always scored first or second place in the annual exams. Everyone expects him to be the elite scholar of the family, not Jungkook.]
[But Jungkook is the only one who knows the future. As far as he remembers from his past life, Mingyu performed uncharacteristically terribly in the college entrance exams. His wealthy parents had to illegally buy him a spot at a fake, unaccredited university.]
[Worse, Jungkook recalls with boiling rage that to come up with the massive bribe money, Mingyu’s family manipulated and sold off Seokjin's—Jungkook's cherished older brother's—beloved house after Seokjin fell ill.]
Jeon Jungkook
(Sneering, his pride wounded) I just don’t think an Omega like you is up to the challenge.
[Jungkook glances at the lesson schedule on the board. The next period is English.]
Jeon Jungkook
The college entrance exams are too far away to prove my point. How about we compete on this upcoming English test? The teacher said today's lesson is a modular exam. Mingyu, why don’t we bet on the results?
[Laughing condescendingly, Mingyu taps his English textbook. His lips curl into a smirk of guaranteed victory.]
Jeon Mingyu
Fine. If I win, what will you do?
[Jungkook calmly picks up a pencil, smoothly twirling it between his slender fingers.]
Jeon Jungkook
If you win, I, Jeon Jungkook, will immediately become your personal servant. As long as I don’t have to commit murder or bully the weak, I’ll do anything you ask of me. But... what if I win?
Jeon Mingyu
(Confidently) You won’t win! How could a loser like you ever beat me?
Jeon Mingyu
(Spreading his hands nonchalantly) Never say never. There are always exceptions. What if, against all odds, the 'trashy Omega' wins?
[Mingyu’s handsome face darkens. This cousin of his is really so annoying today. Why is he acting so fearless when it's clear as day he will lose?]
Jeon Jungkook
You tell me. What would I have to do if you win?
[Jungkook ponders for a second, his dark eyes flashing with a predatory, reborn glint.]
Jeon Jungkook
If my English test score turns out to be better than yours... even by a single point... you will bow and call me 'Boss' in front of the entire school.
3
Jeon Mingyu
(Outraged) How dare you even suggest that?! Call an illegitimate, fatherless Omega like you 'Boss'?!
[Mingyu is absolutely unwilling to accept the bet's terms. In his past life, Jungkook would have definitely picked a fight and thrown a tantrum over the "illegitimate" insult.]
[But now? As someone who had literally been crushed to death and betrayed by those he trusted most, the words "illegitimate Omega" can no longer make him angry.]
Jeon Jungkook
(Calmly) Don’t you think you should call me Boss anyway? My grandfather and your grandfather are biological brothers, and I am technically one month older than you.
Jeon Mingyu
(Face flushing bright red) You’re no family of mine! Don’t even dream of getting me to respect you!
[The entire classroom gasps in shock. This is the very first time the class has found out that the elite Beta Jeon Mingyu and the 'trashy' Omega Jeon Jungkook are actually cousins!]
Jeon Jungkook
(Voice laced with heavy sarcasm) Mingyu, are you worried about losing the bet? If you’re scared, it’s no big deal if we call off this competition. In any case, you’ve been a scaredy-cat ever since we were pups….
classmate 1
Jungkook, you're crazy! Mingyu is always in the top three. There’s no way he’d lose!
classmate 2
Exactly. Based on how you usually rank at the absolute bottom, Mingyu could easily beat you ten times over!
[Mingyu's friends naturally jeer at Jungkook, eager to put the 'arrogant' Omega back in his place.]
Jeon Mingyu
Who said I would lose?! I, Jeon Mingyu, never lose. Let’s compete. But this small bet isn't challenging enough. If we’re doing this, let’s make it a memorable one!
[Ever since they were kids, the Jeon family had constantly compared them. The old, naive Jungkook had always been played for a fool by Mingyu's scheming. This time, however, Jungkook is determined to crush him.]
Jeon Jungkook
(Crossing his arms) Fine. Let’s make it memorable. Tell me what you have in mind for this mega competition, and I’ll play along.
Jeon Mingyu
How about this: besides our personal bet, let’s run a betting pool for the whole class. The winner takes the money and buys everyone a meal. How does that sound?
[Jungkook responds without a second’s hesitation. If the bet had been on math or science, he might have been in trouble. But English? He had spent years in high-society circles in his past life. He couldn't possibly lose.]
Jeon Mingyu
Okay! Place your bets now!!
[The students clamor to put their pocket money down. Naturally, almost 99% of the class bets on Mingyu.]
[Except for a quiet, bespectacled Beta who shares a desk with Jungkook. He silently slides a one-hundred-dollar bill onto Jungkook's side.]
Jeon Jungkook
(Slapping the boy's shoulder gently) Brother, thanks for the support.
[The bell rings. The handsome English Teacher walks into the classroom, holding a thick stack of test papers.]
class monitor
All rise! Good day, Sir.
Englis Teacher
Please be seated. I informed you about today’s modular test last week. Please don’t cheat. This is to find the gaps in your understanding before the college entrance exams.
[Before the papers are even handed out, Jungkook boldly raises his hand.]
Jeon Jungkook
Sir, I request to have my desk moved to the podium or the corridor when I take the test.
[The English Teacher is taken aback. He assumes Jungkook is either going to hand in a blank paper or just sleep through the test anyway. Why would he want to move?]
Englis Teacher
Jungkook, what are you up to now? Planning to ascend to heaven to find the answers?
[The class bursts into cruel laughter.]
Englis Teacher
Well, if you’re not willing to take the test in your seat, you can go out to the corridor to do so!
[Holding his temper and looking incredibly defiant, Jungkook drags his desk right out into the hallway.]
[So what if he has to sit in the corridor? He is determined to use his results to make everyone realize that even a bullied Omega has dignity. He will slap all their faces with his perfect score.]
[Time Skip: 30 Minutes Later]
[To a Reborn Royal Omega, a Year 3 high school English test is painfully simple. Jungkook finishes the entire paper in record time.]
Jeon Jungkook
Sir, I’ve finished.
[Jungkook walks in and hands his paper over. The teacher sighs, expecting a completely blank sheet. He doesn't even look at it—until he glances down and freezes.]
[The teacher's eyes widen in absolute shock. Is... is this even possible?]
Jeon Jungkook
Sir, can I please trouble you to assess my answers now?
[Hands trembling slightly, the teacher picks up his red pen. He reads through every single flawless answer. Finally, in the score box at the top, he writes a massive, glaring red number: 149.]
Jeon Jungkook
(Politely bowing) Sir, would it be okay for me to sit back in the corridor and study my other subjects?
[The English Teacher, still dumbfounded, just nods numbly.]
[Jungkook goes back to the hallway, pulling out a massive stack of science and math drills. Looking at the blank spaces, he realizes the science questions might as well be written in alien code. He really has to start from square one.]
[He slaps his own cheeks, psyching himself up. He has 100 days to get into Capital University. 100 days to build the power he needs to utterly destroy Hyunjin and Sehun.]
classmate 2
[Time Skip: End of the Lesson]
[Mingyu is the second person to finish. Strutting like a proud peacock, he hands his paper to the teacher.]
Jeon Mingyu
Sir, can you please assess my answers now too? I'd like to know my score.
[Because Mingyu is the "model student," the teacher easily agrees and grades it on the spot.]
[The entire class gasps. 125 points! This is most likely the highest English test score Mingyu—or anyone in the class—has ever achieved.]
[Elated, Mingyu marches out into the corridor where Jungkook is packing up his bag. Assuming Jungkook is packing to run away, Mingyu violently grabs the Omega's backpack.]
Jeon Mingyu
Planning to run away for fear of losing, Jungkook?
Jeon Jungkook
(Looking at Mingyu like he is a complete idiot) Not everyone is terrified of losing like you are. Why would I run?
Jeon Mingyu
The results are out. I got a 125! You have to honor our bet. I don’t have any high demands... all I want is for you to scrub the school toilets from now until graduation!
[The classmates who followed Mingyu out into the hall cheer and agree loudly. Making the "trashy Omega" scrub toilets is the perfect humiliation.]
Jeon Jungkook
Exaggeratedly patting his chest in mock relief) Wow. I thought you were planning to have me humiliated in front of the whole school!
Jeon Mingyu
(Smirking) Does that mean you agree to the terms? Good. Now bow your head and—
[Suddenly, Jungkook steps purposefully toward Mingyu, erasing the space between them. Radiating a terrifying, chillingly calm aura, Jungkook extends his slender, delicate fingers.]
[He forcefully lifts Mingyu’s chin, forcing the arrogant Beta to look him dead in the eye.]
