HOPELESS
Rejected
At only twenty-seven, he was already the youngest Prime Minister of South Korea history
Handsome Powerful Untouchable
Every omega in the country dreamed about him
Cameras flashed nonstop while reporters listened carefully to his speech
And in the middle of that serious political conference—
A loud voice echoed through the hall
JEON JUNGKOOK, I LOVE YOU! WILL YOU MARRY ME??
Gasps filled the room instantly
Everyone turned toward Kim Taehyung, who stood proudly with a bright smile on his face
The cameras immediately zoomed toward him
Beside Taehyung, Park Jimin, Kim Yoongi, and Kim Jisoo hid their faces in pure embarrassment
𝗸𝗶𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶ᵃ
Kim Taehyung is insane…**Yoongi whispered under his breath**
𝗸𝗶𝗺 𝗷𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗼ᵒ
**Jisoo wanted the ground to swallow her whole.**
Meanwhile, Jungkook stayed calm.
Cold.
Expressionless.
His dark eyes looked directly into Taehyung’s sparkling ones.
Then he answered simply—
One word.
That single word shattered Taehyung’s smile instantly
The cheerful shine in his eyes disappeared
The entire hall became awkwardly silent
Even reporters stopped speaking
Taehyung slowly lowered his head, trying to hide the pain on his face while cameras captured everything
Jungkook looked away as if nothing had happened and continued his speech normally
But for Taehyung—
It felt like his whole world had collapsed
That night, the four friends gathered inside a luxurious VIP room of a famous club in Seoul.
Music blasted loudly outside while colorful lights reflected across the dark room.
Taehyung sat on the couch silently drinking glass after glass.
𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗮𝗲𝗵𝘂𝘆𝗻𝗴ᵗᵇᵒ
One more,** he muttered.**
𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗷𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻ᵒ
**Jimin immediately grabbed his wrist.**
“Stop now. You already drank seven glasses,” **Jimin scolded softly**
If Jin aunty finds out, we’re all dead.
Taehyung only laughed bitterly before drinking again.
Yoongi sat in the corner scrolling through his phone while Jisoo quietly sipped her fruit juice.
The atmosphere felt heavy.
No one knew what to say.
Slap
After some time, they finally left the club around 9:30 PM.
First, they dropped Jimin at his house.
𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗷𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻ᵒ
Text me when you reach home **Jimin told them worriedly before leaving**
The Kim siblings nodded tiredly and headed back toward their mansion.
The moment they entered the house—
A harsh slap landed across Taehyung’s face.
The entire living room froze.
Kim Seokjin stood there angrily while Kim Namjoon watched silently beside him.
Taehyung didn’t react.
He simply lowered his eyes.
𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝘀𝗲𝗼𝗸𝗷𝗶𝗻ʳᵒ
See?**Seokjin snapped at Namjoon angrily**This is what happens when you give your children too much freedom!
𝗸𝗶𝗺 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗷𝗼𝗼𝗻ᵃ
**Namjoon sighed softly**
Jin calm down. He’s not a child anymore. He knows what he’s doing.
𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝘀𝗲𝗼𝗸𝗷𝗶𝗻ʳᵒ
He embarrassed himself in front of the entire country!
Taehyung quietly walked upstairs without saying a single word.
Meanwhile, Yoongi and Jisoo slowly backed away from the argument.
The second they saw an opportunity—
They escaped straight to their rooms.
Far away from the battlefield downstairs.
Inside his room, Taehyung closed the door gently behind him.
Then finally—
The tears he had been holding back all night fell silently down his cheeks.
𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗮𝗲𝗵𝘂𝘆𝗻𝗴ᵗᵇᵒ
Why… **he whispered brokenly**
Why can’t I stop loving him?
Acting normal
That night, Kim Taehyung cried until his chest hurt.
He buried his face into the pillow, silent sobs shaking his body while memories of Jeon Jungkook saying “No” replayed again and again inside his mind.
At some point, exhaustion finally took over.
And Taehyung fell asleep with tear stains still on his cheeks.
The next morning, sunlight slowly entered his room through the large glass windows.
Taehyung opened his eyes tiredly.
For a few seconds, he simply stared at the ceiling silently before forcing himself up.
No matter how broken he felt—
Work would never stop.
After taking a shower, Taehyung got dressed in an elegant black suit that perfectly hugged his slim figure. His soft brown hair was neatly styled while his usual calm expression returned to his face.
As if nothing had happened.
As he walked downstairs, Kim Yoongi and Kim Jisoo were already sitting at the dining table.
The moment they saw him, both became careful.
They thought Taehyung would still look sad.
But instead—
He looked completely normal.
Which somehow worried them more.
𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗮𝗲𝗵𝘂𝘆𝗻𝗴ᵗᵇᵒ
Morning **Taehyung said calmly while sitting down**
𝗸𝗶𝗺 𝗷𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗼ᵒ
Morning hyung **Jisoo replied softly**
Breakfast continued quietly for a few minutes.
The sound of plates and cups filled the dining room while Kim Seokjin and Kim Namjoon watched their eldest son carefully.
𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗮𝗲𝗵𝘂𝘆𝗻𝗴ᵗᵇᵒ
**Then suddenly, Taehyung spoke**
Be ready in the evening. We’re going out
𝗸𝗶𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶ᵃ
**Yoongi immediately looked up**
Really?
𝗸𝗶𝗺 𝗷𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗼ᵒ
**Jisoo’s eyes sparkled brightly**
Seriously?!
Both siblings smiled widely in excitement.
For the past few weeks, Taehyung had been drowning himself in work nonstop, barely spending time with them.
So hearing this felt like a miracle.
𝗸𝗶𝗺 𝗷𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗼ᵒ
**Jisoo quickly asked excitedly**And Jimin hyung?
𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗮𝗲𝗵𝘂𝘆𝗻𝗴ᵗᵇᵒ
**Taehyung finally smiled a little**
I’ll tell him
Yoongi exchanged a relieved look with Jisoo.
Maybe
Their brother was finally trying to feel better.
