Synopsis

Everyone believed that an alpha and a dominant omega could never simply remain best friends.

For Jeon Jungkook, that never mattered.

For fifteen years, Kim Taehyung stood beside him through every victory and heartbreak. Whenever Jungkook smiled, Taehyung smiled. Whenever Jungkook cried, Taehyung silently carried his pain.

But Jungkook never realized one truth...

Taehyung had loved him all along.

When Jungkook accepts an arranged marriage to strengthen his family's business, tragedy strikes before the wedding. A mysterious accident takes his life, leaving behind countless regrets—including never asking why Taehyung looked so heartbroken the day he said goodbye.

Instead of dying...

Jungkook opens his eyes seven years in the past.

Given a second chance, he decides to protect the people he once lost and uncover the hidden feelings of the best friend who always stayed by his side.

Yet something has changed.

Taehyung remembers fragments of their previous life.

Now he refuses to lose Jungkook again.

As enemies from powerful families close in, forgotten secrets emerge, and destiny tries to separate them once more, Jungkook must decide whether he can finally stop running from the love that has always been waiting for him.

Chapter 1: A Second Chance

The sound of screeching tires shattered the quiet night.

Jungkook looked up just as blinding headlights rushed toward him.

Everything happened too quickly.

Pain.

Darkness.

Silence.

...

"...Jungkook?"

A familiar voice echoed nearby.

Warm.

Gentle.

The voice he had heard every day for years.

His eyelashes fluttered open.

The ceiling above him was white.

His room...

No.

It couldn't be.

He slowly sat up and stared around.

The posters on the wall.

His university books.

The old clock that had stopped working years ago.

"This..."

His trembling hands reached for the calendar on the bedside table.

March 14.

Seven years ago.

His heart pounded violently.

"I'm alive?"

Before he could think further, someone knocked on the bedroom door.

"Jungkook? Are you awake?"

That voice.

His breath caught.

The door opened.

Standing there was Kim Taehyung, dressed in his university jacket, his messy hair falling over his forehead exactly as Jungkook remembered.

Alive.

Smiling.

Without thinking, Jungkook rushed forward and wrapped his arms tightly around him.

Taehyung froze.

"...Kook?"

Jungkook buried his face against his shoulder.

"You idiot..."

"I thought I lost you."

For a long moment, Taehyung didn't move.

Then his arms slowly circled Jungkook.

His voice was barely above a whisper.

"...You came back too."

Jungkook's eyes widened.

He looked up in shock.

"What did you just say?"

Taehyung smiled sadly.

This time...

He remembered everything too.

And he had no intention of letting fate steal Jungkook away again.

End of Chapter 1

Jungkook stared at Taehyung as if the world had stopped moving.

The words echoed in his mind.

"You came back too."

Back?

His heart pounded loudly.

"What do you mean?" Jungkook asked.

Taehyung's smile faded.

For the first time since entering the room, his eyes looked tired. Not the tiredness of someone who had stayed up all night, but the exhaustion of someone who had carried grief for years.

"Sit down first," Taehyung said quietly.

Jungkook obeyed without thinking.

The room suddenly felt too small.

Too silent.

Taehyung pulled a chair closer and sat opposite him.

For several seconds, neither spoke.

Then Taehyung sighed.

"In our previous life..." he began, "you died."

Jungkook's breath hitched.

The memories returned instantly.

The headlights.

The crash.

The darkness.

His hands clenched around the blanket.

"You remember it too."

Taehyung nodded.

"I remember everything."

Jungkook swallowed hard.

"How?"

"I don't know."

A bitter laugh escaped Taehyung.

"When I woke up, I was seventeen again."

The realization hit Jungkook like a wave.

He wasn't the only one who had been reborn.

Taehyung had suffered through the same confusion.

The same shock.

The same memories.

Jungkook looked at him carefully.

Now that he thought about it, Taehyung seemed different.

Older somehow.

His eyes carried emotions that shouldn't belong to a seventeen-year-old.

"What happened after I died?" Jungkook asked softly.

The question immediately darkened Taehyung's expression.

A painful silence filled the room.

Finally, he answered.

"I couldn't save you."

Jungkook felt his chest tighten.

"Kook..."

Taehyung looked away.

"I arrived too late."

The guilt in his voice was heartbreaking.

Jungkook remembered something.

In his previous life, Taehyung had called him that night.

Several times.

But Jungkook had been too busy preparing for his engagement to answer.

A terrible feeling settled in his stomach.

"Was there something you wanted to tell me?"

Taehyung froze.

For a moment, something vulnerable appeared in his eyes.

Then it disappeared.

"No."

The answer came too quickly.

Jungkook narrowed his eyes.

Taehyung was lying.

After knowing him for fifteen years, Jungkook could tell.

But before he could press further, a ringtone suddenly interrupted them.

Taehyung glanced at his phone.

His expression instantly hardened.

Jungkook noticed.

"Who is it?"

"No one important."

Taehyung declined the call.

A second later, the phone rang again.

And again.

And again.

Jungkook frowned.

"Taehyung."

"It's fine."

"It doesn't look fine."

Taehyung stared at the screen for several seconds before finally turning the phone off completely.

That wasn't normal.

Not for Taehyung.

Not for someone who usually answered every call.

Something was definitely wrong.

But before Jungkook could ask more questions, Taehyung suddenly stood up.

"You should rest."

"What?"

"You just woke up."

"Taehyung—"

"I'll come back later."

He headed toward the door.

Jungkook immediately jumped out of bed.

"Wait!"

Taehyung stopped.

Jungkook hesitated.

There were countless questions he wanted to ask.

About the future.

About the accident.

About the mysterious calls.

But one question mattered more than all the others.

"Why were you crying?"

Taehyung's shoulders stiffened.

Jungkook remembered it clearly now.

The day of his engagement announcement.

Taehyung had smiled.

Congratulated him.

Even attended the celebration.

Yet his eyes had looked red.

As if he had spent the entire night crying.

The room became silent.

Slowly, Taehyung turned around.

His expression was unreadable.

"You noticed?"

Jungkook nodded.

For several seconds, Taehyung simply looked at him.

Then he smiled.

A sad smile.

"Not this time."

Jungkook blinked.

"What?"

Taehyung stepped closer.

Close enough that Jungkook could see every detail of his face.

Close enough to notice the determination in his eyes.

"In our last life, I stayed silent."

His voice was low.

Careful.

Certain.

"But I'm not making that mistake again."

Jungkook's pulse quickened.

Something about those words felt dangerous.

Not threatening.

Just impossible to ignore.

Before Jungkook could respond, Taehyung gently brushed a strand of hair away from his forehead.

The simple gesture made Jungkook freeze.

"You don't have to understand right now," Taehyung murmured.

"But this time..."

His gaze softened.

"I'll protect you."

Then he left.

The bedroom door closed behind him.

Jungkook stood motionless.

His heart refused to calm down.

Because for the first time, he was beginning to understand something he had completely missed in his previous life.

Kim Taehyung's feelings for him had never been simple friendship.

And judging by the look in Taehyung's eyes...

They never had been.**

To Be Continued...

The morning classes passed in a blur.

Jungkook sat in the back of the lecture hall, pretending to take notes while his thoughts wandered.

His second life had barely begun, yet everything already felt different.

Not because the campus had changed.

Because he had.

Every now and then, he caught Taehyung glancing at him from across the room. Whenever their eyes met, Taehyung would simply smile before returning his attention to the professor.

It was the same gentle smile Jungkook had seen countless times in their first life.

How had he never noticed the affection hidden behind it?

The lecture finally ended.

As students filed out into the hallway, Jungkook gathered his books.

"Kook."

Taehyung was waiting by the classroom door.

"Want to grab lunch?"

Before Jungkook could answer, a sweet floral scent drifted through the hallway.

Several alphas immediately turned their heads.

"The omega in heat support clinic is open today."

"I almost forgot."

"You can smell the suppressants."

Jungkook frowned.

The scent wasn't coming from the clinic.

It was coming from...

Him.

His eyes widened.

"No..."

A dominant omega's pheromones were usually stable.

Unless...

Taehyung's expression changed instantly.

Without saying a word, he stepped closer, shielding Jungkook from the curious stares of the surrounding alphas.

"Everyone, back up," Taehyung said calmly.

His alpha pheromones spread just enough to discourage anyone from approaching, but not enough to intimidate them.

The students quickly looked away and continued walking.

Jungkook lowered his voice.

"This never happened before."

"I know."

Taehyung gently took Jungkook's wrist.

"Come with me."

They hurried toward an unused music practice room on the far side of campus.

As soon as the door closed, Jungkook leaned against the wall, trying to steady his breathing.

His scent was becoming stronger.

"What is this?"

Taehyung remained surprisingly calm.

"Your body is reacting to the rebirth."

"You know that?"

"I don't."

Jungkook looked at him.

"I'm guessing."

Despite everything, Jungkook laughed.

"You really haven't changed."

"I've become slightly more handsome."

"You've become more shameless."

"I'll accept that compliment."

The tension in the room eased.

After a few minutes, Jungkook's pheromones gradually settled.

He let out a relieved sigh.

"Better?"

"Much."

Taehyung handed him a bottle of water.

"You should probably visit the campus doctor later."

"I will."

Jungkook hesitated before speaking again.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For protecting me."

Taehyung looked genuinely confused.

"Kook."

He took a step closer.

"I've always protected you."

The words were simple.

Matter-of-fact.

As though they were the most natural thing in the world.

Jungkook's heartbeat skipped.

Before he could respond, Taehyung's phone buzzed.

He glanced at the screen, and the warmth in his expression disappeared.

"What happened?" Jungkook asked.

Taehyung slowly lowered the phone.

"My father wants me home."

"Is something wrong?"

"Our family received an invitation."

"An invitation?"

Taehyung nodded.

"A banquet hosted by the Choi family."

Jungkook's smile faded.

The Choi family.

The same family whose business alliance had changed the course of his previous life.

Taehyung looked directly into Jungkook's eyes.

"In our first life, this banquet was where everything started."

Jungkook remembered.

It was there that influential families had begun discussing his future engagement.

A chill ran down his spine.

"So fate is trying again," he murmured.

Taehyung's gaze hardened.

"Maybe."

He stepped forward until only a small distance separated them.

"But this time..."

His voice was quiet.

"...you won't face it alone."

For the first time since returning to the past, Jungkook truly believed the future could be rewritten.

Neither of them noticed the figure standing outside the practice room.

A pair of cold eyes watched through the narrow window in the door.

The stranger smiled.

"So..."

"They both remember."

The game had already begun.
