The grand ballroom shimmered beneath dazzling crystal chandeliers, every corner overflowing with wealth, influence, and carefully crafted smiles. Expensive gowns swept across the polished marble floor while diamonds sparkled around delicate necks. Groups of elegant women gathered together, comparing the latest designer dresses and priceless jewelry, each determined to outshine the other.
The men were no different. One after another, they surrounded those with greater power, laughing a little too loudly at stale jokes and offering flattering words in hopes of climbing another step up the social ladder.
To anyone else, it was a prestigious gathering. To Jeon Jungkook, it was nothing more than a circus.
Standing alone in a secluded corner of the ballroom, one hand tucked lazily into the pocket of his tailored black suit, Jungkook silently observed the crowd. A crystal wine glass rested between his slender fingers as he gently swirled the crimson liquid inside. His expression remained unreadable.
Cold, detached, even bored.
No one dared to approach him. Not because they didn't recognize him—but because they knew exactly who he was.
A man whose mere presence could silence an entire room. People feared him. And fear... Fear was something Jungkook had grown accustomed to. It granted him the only peace he ever found in gatherings like these. His sharp gaze lazily swept across the room.

"Clowns..."
That was all he saw. After deciding he had endured enough of this meaningless spectacle, he placed the untouched wine glass onto a passing waiter's tray and headed toward the exit. Not a single person stopped him. Not one dared to ask why he was leaving so early. His footsteps echoed softly against the marble staircase until Bang!
Someone crashed straight into him. The impact sent the other person stumbling onto the floor. Jungkook didn't move an inch. His eyes slowly closed. An almost suffocating darkness radiated from him, making the surrounding air feel several degrees colder.

💭Looks like someone has a death wish..
Just as he was about to speak... A gentle voice reached his ears.
???
"I'm sorry... I was in a hurry and didn't see you."
It was soft. Warm. Almost soothing. Jungkook's eyes opened. For the first time that evening...He froze.
Before him sat a young man on the polished marble floor, looking up with wide, apologetic eyes. His hair was a soft shade of golden blond, slightly tousled as if touched by a gentle breeze. Under the warm glow of the chandeliers, every silky strand shimmered like spun gold. His skin was impossibly fair, smooth as untouched snow, making the cool blue of his eyes appear even more mesmerizing.
Those eyes...They were unlike anything Jungkook had ever seen. Clear sapphire blue, calm yet expressive, perfectly matching the deep blue gemstone hanging from the delicate silver chain around his neck. The pendant rested against a lustrous satin shirt of the same captivating shade, its silky fabric reflecting the ballroom lights with every slight movement. The shirt hugged his lean frame elegantly, tucked neatly into fitted black trousers that accentuated his long legs without appearing excessive.
Everything about him looked effortlessly graceful. Simple. Elegant. Beautiful. For a fleeting moment...The noisy ballroom disappeared. Jungkook heard nothing. Saw nothing.
Before Jungkook could gather his thoughts, another voice interrupted.
???
"Taehyung! What are you doing here?"
The blond-haired young man looked over his shoulder before letting out a small sigh of relief.
Taehyung`~Omega
"Isn't this because of you?" he complained with puffed cheeks
Taehyung`~Omega
"I was trying to catch up with you, and now look what happened."
The newcomer rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly before extending a hand toward him.
???
"Sorry, sorry. Come on."
Taehyung accepted the offered hand and stood up.
???
"Are you hurt anywhere?" the man asked with concern.
Taehyung dusted off his clothes before smiling reassuringly.
Taehyung`~Omega
"I'm fine."
Then he turned back toward Jungkook. There wasn't even the slightest trace of fear in those beautiful blue eyes. Instead there was only sincerity.
Taehyung`~Omega
"Once again... I'm really sorry."
Jungkook simply gave a small nod. No threat, no anger, not even words. Taehyung smiled politely before walking back into the ballroom beside his companion.
Jungkook stood there... Watching. Watching until the two disappeared into the crowd. Only then did he glance back at the grand hall. Moments ago, everything inside had looked unbearably dull. Now... It suddenly seemed interesting.
Without another thought, Jungkook turned around and walked back inside. He returned to his previous seat on the upper level overlooking the ballroom, where he had an unobstructed view of everyone below. This time... His eyes searched for only one person. They found him almost instantly.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"Taehyung..."
Jungkook whispered the unfamiliar name beneath his breath, slowly tasting each syllable as though committing it to memory. A faint smile ghosted across his lips. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it without taking his eyes off the blond-haired man below.
From his secluded spot, he quietly observed.vTaehyung stood near one corner of the ballroom, occasionally glancing toward the man who had helped him earlier as he conversed with several influential businessmen. A few guests attempted to strike up conversations with Taehyung as well.
Each time...He declined politely with a gentle smile, his fingers nervously clasped together. It was obvious. He wasn't comfortable in gatherings like this. His gaze wandered around the room until it landed on the lavish dessert table. For a brief second, his eyes lit up with childlike excitement.
Then he noticed that everyone around him was busy socializing instead of eating. The excitement vanished. With visible reluctance, he looked away, pretending he hadn't been tempted at all. Jungkook watched the tiny change in expression through the thin veil of cigarette smoke. Without realizing it... The corner of his lips curved upward.
The party continued late into the night. Jungkook remained where he was, smoking one cigarette after another. Not because the gathering had become entertaining. But because one person had unknowingly become the center of his attention. And when that beautiful stranger finally left the ballroom, Jungkook quietly stood. Then followed him outside.

Chapter 2: An Unwanted Truth
Morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the highest floor of the Verité Group Headquarters, illuminating the luxurious CEO's office. The room was silent except for the occasional clicking of a keyboard. Behind the massive ebony desk sat Jeon Jungkook, the young CEO of Verité Group—the company that had dominated every industry it entered. Stacks of documents lay neatly arranged before him while a sleek laptop displayed endless reports awaiting his approval.
Yet, Not a single word registered in his mind. Instead, his thoughts wandered back to the previous night. Golden hair. Snow-white skin. Eyes as blue as the ocean beneath a clear sky.
Taehyung`~Omega
"I'm sorry... I was in a hurry and didn't see you."
That gentle voice echoed repeatedly inside his head. Without realizing it, Jungkook had already memorized every tiny detail of the stranger's face. Even after an entire night. He couldn't forget him. A soft knock interrupted his thoughts.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"Come in."
The office door opened, and his trusted assistant, Cha Eunwoo, stepped inside carrying a thick file. He approached the desk before placing it respectfully in front of Jungkook.
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"This is the information you asked me to investigate yesterday, sir."
Jungkook's fingers immediately rested on the file. His expression remained unreadable, but the slight tightening of his grip didn't escape Eunwoo's notice. Opening the file, Jungkook's eyes landed on the first page. A photograph. The same beautiful face from last night smiled gently at the camera.
Without lifting his gaze from the file, he spoke.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"Report."
Eunwoo straightened his posture.
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"His name is Kim Taehyung. He is twenty two years old. The only son of the late Kim Namjoon and Kim Seokjin, the founders of Kim Group. After their unfortunate death in a car accident, the company was inherited according to their family's arrangements."
Jungkook silently continued reading.
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"He graduated from a prestigious university in Paris with a degree in Fashion Design and returned to Korea approximately two months ago."
Eunwoo turned another page.
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"Currently, he has shown interest in pursuing a modeling career."
Everything sounded exactly as Jungkook expected. Until—
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"He attended last night's gala as the companion of his husband..."
Eunwoo glanced down at the file.
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"...Min Yoongi."
The office temperature seemed to drop instantly. Jungkook's hand froze on the file. His eyes slowly lifted.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"...Repeat that."
Eunwoo, sensing the sudden tension, carefully answered,
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"Kim Taehyung is legally married to Min Yoongi."
The words echoed through the silent office. Married. The single word struck Jungkook harder than he expected. His jaw tightened. The hand resting on the desk slowly curled into a fist. The veins on the back of his hand became visible. Inside him, something dark stirred.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"Married..."
The angel whose smile had occupied his thoughts all night. Already belonged to someone else. An unfamiliar emotion twisted violently inside his chest. Possessiveness. Jealousy. Obsession.
His blue eyes...That innocent smile...That gentle voice...How could someone else possess all of it?
Jungkook refused to accept it. His gaze drifted back to Taehyung's photograph. The man smiling so warmly from the picture looked far too pure. Far too precious. Someone like him deserved only the finest things life had to offer. Could that man Min Yoongi truly provide them? Jungkook didn't know him. He didn't care to know him. Because in his mind... The answer was already no.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"He's not worthy."
His sweet little angel deserved the entire world. If someone couldn't even give him that then what value did that person have The dangerous thoughts settling inside Jungkook's mind gradually calmed the storm raging within him. His clenched fist slowly loosened. When he finally spoke, his voice was frighteningly calm.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"Our company is launching a new campaign featuring fresh faces."
Eunwoo nodded. Jungkook closed the file before gently placing his hand over Taehyung's photograph.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"Add Kim Taehyung to the list."
Eunwoo blinked for a brief moment before answering,
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"I'll contact his agency immediately."
Jungkook's lips curved into a faint smile.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"If he denies, I'll make sure he accepts it."
There was something unsettling about the certainty in his voice. Something that made Eunwoo hesitate.
Cha Eunwoo`~ assistant of Jungkook
"...Understood, sir."
With a respectful bow, Eunwoo collected the remaining documents and quietly left the office. The door clicked shut. Once he was alone, Jungkook picked up the photograph again. His thumb gently brushed over Taehyung's smiling face.
Jeon Jungkook`~True Blood Alpha
"Kim Taehyung..."
He whispered the name as though it belonged only to him. A smile slowly spread across his lips. This time... It wasn't warm. It was the smile of someone who had already made up his mind. No matter who stood beside Taehyung now. Sooner or later...

Chapter 3: A New Beginning
The soft rays of the morning sun slipped through the curtains, illuminating the cozy bedroom where Kim Taehyung sat cross-legged on his bed, staring excitedly at his laptop screen. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he reread the email for what felt like the tenth time.
Congratulations!
You have been selected as one of the models for Verité Group's upcoming campaign. We look forward to working with you.
Taehyung's lips slowly curled into a bright smile.
Taehyung`~Omega
"I got it. I actually got it!"
Unable to contain his excitement, he immediately grabbed his phone and dialed the one person he always shared his happiness with. The call was answered after only two rings.
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"Kim Taehyung! Why are you calling so early?"
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"What happened? You sound like you've won the lottery."
Taehyung`~Omega
"It's even better than that!"
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"Now you've made me curious. Tell me already."
Taehyung`~Omega
"I got selected!"
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"For what?"
Taehyung`~Omega
"The Verité Group campaign! They accepted my application!"
There was a brief silence. Then, A loud scream erupted from the other side.
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"WHAT?!"
Taehyung instinctively pulled the phone away from his ear before laughing.
Taehyung`~Omega
"I knew you'd react like that."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"You deserve it, Tae! I told you they would choose you."
Taehyung`~Omega
"I wasn't confident..."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"Well, now you should be."
Taehyung smiled sheepishly.
Taehyung`~Omega
"Thank you."
The two friends continued chatting, Jimin congratulating him repeatedly while teasing him about becoming a famous model one day. Still talking on the phone, Taehyung walked toward his wardrobe.
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"So..."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"What are you planning to wear tomorrow?"
Taehyung frowned thoughtfully as he looked through his clothes.
Taehyung`~Omega
"I don't know."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"You don't know?"
Taehyung`~Omega
"I want to make a good first impression."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"Hmm..."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"Wear something elegant but comfortable."
Taehyung held up a cream-colored shirt.
Taehyung`~Omega
"What about this?"
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"Too formal."
Taehyung`~Omega
"This one?"
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"No."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"...Absolutely not."
Taehyung`~Omega
Taehyung pouted. "You're so hard to please."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"Because I have standards."
After nearly twenty minutes of debating every shirt and pair of trousers in his wardrobe, they finally settled on a simple yet elegant outfit. Taehyung looked at himself in the mirror and smiled.
Taehyung`~Omega
"I guess this looks nice."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"It looks perfect," Jimin replied proudly.
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"Now stop worrying and get some sleep. Tomorrow is your first day."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"And Tae..."
Park Jimin`~Omega`~Best friend of Tae
"I'm really proud of you."
A warm smile spread across Taehyung's face.
Taehyung`~Omega
"Thank you, Jimin."
After saying goodbye, he ended the call. His eyes instinctively drifted toward the closed study room where Min Yoongi was still working. Ever since moving his business from Paris to Korea, Yoongi barely had any free time. He's probably busy... Taehyung smiled to himself. I'll tell him tomorrow morning. With that thought, he placed his phone on the bedside table, turned off the lights, and quickly drifted into a peaceful sleep.
The alarm rang before sunrise. Unlike usual, Taehyung got out of bed immediately. Today wasn't just another ordinary day. Humming softly to himself, he prepared breakfast, filling the kitchen with the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm toast. Just as he finished setting the table, footsteps echoed from the hallway. Yoongi emerged from his room, still looking slightly sleepy. He paused upon seeing Taehyung already dressed and busy arranging breakfast.
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"You're up early."
Taehyung turned around with a bright smile.
Taehyung`~Omega
"Good morning!"
Yoongi pulled out a chair.
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"Morning."
He looked at Taehyung curiously.
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"What's the occasion?"
Taehyung could barely hide his excitement.
Taehyung`~Omega
"I got selected for Verité Group's modeling campaign!"
Yoongi blinked once before a faint smile appeared on his usually calm face.
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"Congratulations."
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"You worked hard for it."
Taehyung`~Omega
"I'm so happy."
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"I know."
Yoongi reached over and gently patted his head.
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"I'm proud of you."
Those simple words made Taehyung's smile widen even more. The two quietly enjoyed breakfast together before Yoongi checked the time.
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"I have an early meeting today."
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"I can't drop you off."
Taehyung`~Omega
"It's okay. I'll go by myself."
Min Yoongi`~Alpha`~Husband of Tae
"Call me if you need anything."
After cleaning the table together, they left the apartment in different directions. Nearly an hour later... Taehyung stood in front of the towering headquarters of Verité Group. The massive glass building stretched high into the sky, reflecting the morning sunlight like polished crystal. Taking a deep breath, he tightened his grip on the strap of his bag.
Taehyung`~Omega
"You can do this, Taehyung."
Gathering his courage, he stepped inside. The luxurious lobby buzzed with employees moving briskly from one place to another. A receptionist greeted him politely.
???
"Good morning. How may I help you?"
Taehyung`~Omega
"I'm here for today's modeling campaign."
After confirming his name, she called one of the assistants.
Taehyung thanked her before following the assistant through several hallways until they reached a large room bustling with activity.
Professional makeup artists hurried from one model to another, hairstylists adjusted every strand with practiced precision, while stylists carried racks of carefully prepared outfits across the room.
???
"You can get your makeup done here. We'll call you once the shoot begins."
Taehyung nodded politely.
Taehyung`~Omega
"Thank you."
He quietly took a seat in front of one of the mirrors, allowing the makeup artist to begin their work. Unaware that somewhere else in the same building. Someone was already waiting for the moment their eyes would meet again.
