Only Your Embrace
~ synopsis ~
Because of touch starvation, Kim Taehyung had been single since birth. He was even rumored to be pretending to be noble and was actually a sea king who was a master at fishing.
On the second day after he was blacklisted across the internet, the imperial crown prince, Jeon Jungkook, came to him and asked him to agree to a fake marriage.
Facing the legendary domineering and cold alpha who had killed countless people, the little Omega stretched out his hands and asked with a smile:
Kim Taehyung [O]
“I want a hug.”
He arched into the man’s arms and took the opportunity to experience it:
Kim Taehyung [O]
💭*……Nice to smell, nice to touch, hugging him will feel amazing.*
So Taehyung nodded and agreed.
Kim Taehyung [O]
“The money doesn’t matter, but there is one condition that must be added to the agreement.”
……Alpha must hug him once a day, and each time must not be less than three minutes.
Jeon Jungkook/Crown Prince [A]
……?
Not long after their wedding, the royal PR department announced that the crown prince and his spouse would participate in a variety reality show.
Countless people flocked to the live broadcast channel, waiting to see their embarrassing moments or even domestic violence scenes between them.

Netizens exclaimed,
“This year we’re relying on these two’s drama to be happy!”
The moment they opened the live stream, they saw the sweet Omega nestled in the Alpha’s arms, refusing to get up, softly humming and murmuring for a tighter hug.
Meanwhile, the so-called killing machine Alpha gazed at him with gentle eyes, moving carefully, never looking away.
Before long, the crown prince and his husband became the Empire’s most beloved couple.

In the bedroom, Taehyung let go of the Alpha after finishing his “daily task,” then turned and pounced on a life-sized celebrity body pillow, showing the exact same look of bliss.
Jeon Jungkook/Crown Prince [A]
Feeling his arms suddenly empty, Jungkook gritted his teeth.
“Change the agreement—starting now, you can only hug me!”

Comments~
📲**...A scheming Omega, Alphas are very territorial, who can stand their Omega being a player?**
What kind of new confusing nickname is this?
The semi-transparent floating screen was glowing faintly, on the beanbag by the floor-to-ceiling window, Taehyung paused for a moment before figuring out what the term meant, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Kim Taehyung [O]
"...I never expected marketing accounts to be so invasive and good at stirring the pot."
As a minor actor signed to a small agency, not long in showbiz, and not formally trained, it's not easy for Taehyung to reach his current third-tier status.
The trending variety show brought him a lot of popularity in the first few episodes, and this episode started well too, but suddenly this video surfaced online, clearly showing the time, place, and people—Taehyung, looking back, also felt that his push was too abrupt.
Especially since his public image has always been that of a sweet Omega, this incident is clearly a major shake-up of his persona.
However, the reason he pushed Wonyoung away at that time...
The communication alert on the smartwatch on the small round coffee table next to him rang, Taehyung reached over with one hand, and without thinking, hung up.
...Then the communicator started vibrating frantically, still from the same number.
kooshake💜taeberry
📲"...." this means conversation in phone.
Kim Taehyung [O]
Taehyung, realizing belatedly, glanced at the note prompt, blinked, and quickly answered,
📲 "Hello? Bogum hyung? I was just taking a shower, didn't hear..."
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
📲"I know you're looking at the trending topics! It shows you're online here!"
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
Bogum roar was clear even from a distance,
📲 "I guarantee, you're the first person to enjoy reading your own black post so much!"
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"Ahem..."
Kim Taehyung [O]
Taehyung nearly choked on his juice, coughed twice, and muttered softly,
📲 "Why isn't there a stealth mode on the website..."
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
📲"What other features do you want!"
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
Bogum's voice was frantic on the other end,
📲"I can't decide if you're carefree or just rational! How can you stay so chill with the whole internet coming at you!"
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"...What else can I do?"
Kim Taehyung [O]
The Omega took a deep breath, took another sip to calm himself, and smiled,
📲"Bashing me won't make me lose ten pounds of weight, or get me an extra chicken leg for lunch... So, I guess I'll just have to roll with it."
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
📲"You..."
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
Bogum was furious,
📲 "Put down that chicken leg and go post a statement now...
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
📲"I've already talked to Wonyoung's agent; it's all a misunderstanding. You two are cool, everyone's cool, let's quickly put this to rest."
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
📲"I'll say you weren't feeling well, so you overreacted... Then take him out to dinner."
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"...I'm not going to apologize to her."
Kim Taehyung [O]
Before Bogum could finish, Taehyung cut him off,
📲"I'm not going to apologize to her."
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"She was trying to take advantage of me; she should be the one apologizing."
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
Bogum was surprised, he hadn't heard this detail before,
📲 "...Really?"
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"It's true."
Kim Taehyung [O]
Taehyung said firmly,
📲 "And I'll tell you, her pheromones reek... She usually sprays perfume to mask it as pine, that's why I didn't want to get close to her."
Song Bogum/TH's Agent [B]
"..."
Bogum was momentarily speechless, never expecting that he would never be able to look at perfume the same way again.
Kim Taehyung [O]
Seeing that Bogum understood, Taehyung continued with a smile,
📲 "I was actually planning to take some time off..."
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"Anyway, we didn't buy the trending topic; it will naturally fade. Netizens' attention won't last more than three days, so chill."
Before Bogum could get another word in, Taehyung hung up, grabbed his freshly squeezed orange juice, took a sip when the communicator rang again.
Kim Taehyung [O]
He frowned a bit and hit answer,
📲"Song, I've already made my point—"
Unknown
📲"Excuse me, is this Mr. Kim Taehyung?"
Kim Taehyung [O]
💭*Huh? Not my agent, Bogum?*
Taehyung checked the screen; it was an unknown number.
Kim Taehyung [O]
He hummed,
📲"Hello, this is Kim Taehyung."
Unknown
The voice on the other end said,
📲"Mr. Kim, hello."
Unknown
📲"This is the Imperial Royal Affairs Office, do you have a moment now?"
Kim Taehyung [O]
He looked at the number again in shock, a hint of confusion in his eyes,
📲"Who did you say you are?"
Unknown
📲"The Imperial Royal Affairs Office, we handle the royal family's external affairs."
Taehyung directly hung up—too scary, now even online scams are pretending to be such high-level departments?
~ Chapter 2 ~

Hello \(^_^)/
Taehyung patted his chest, planning to grab some chips and continue browsing the trending gossip. But just as he stood up, the communicator rang again.
...He was wrong, he should have turned it off today.
This time, the screen showed another unfamiliar number.
Taehyung had no intention of answering, but the caller was persistent, even more so than his manager, Song Bogum. He returned with his bag of chips, but the ringing didn’t stop.
Unknown
Reluctantly, he picked up the call, hearing the caller repeat,
📲 "Mr. Kim, hello, we are from the Imperial Royal Affairs Office..."
Kim Taehyung [O]
Taehyung pursed his lips, pinched his own thigh, and with teary eyes, said,
📲"Uh, I have no money, so don’t bother trying to scam me!"
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"You see, celebrities might seem glamorous, but actually, someone like me, a low-tier celebrity, doesn’t make much money!"
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"And I was just cancelled online last night! Do you know what that means?"
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"It means I’ll be hated by the entire empire! Everyone will boycott me! No one will watch my works! Endorsements will be canceled, and all my gigs will be gone..."
Kim Taehyung [O]
He vividly described his future misery, using his superb acting skills, his Omega voice choked with sobs, pitifully saying,
📲 "Really, I only knew that entering the entertainment industry could make money, but I didn’t expect that after three years, I still can’t afford a seaside villa..."
Yes, the top villas on the famous tourist planet Haggis, you could buy a small planet, not to mention he couldn’t afford it, even the industry’s top actors couldn’t.
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"To this day, I still live in a studio apartment assigned by the company, and I can’t even have hotpot!"
Yes, because every time he eats hotpot, he can eat three pounds of lamb alone, and Song Bogum strictly forbids him from such overeating.
Kim Taehyung [O]
📲"And the things I want to buy, sob, I thought with hard work I could, but no, I’m so poor..."
Yes, he wanted to buy custom jewelry from a centuries-old imperial brand, exorbitantly priced, and the waiting list is already fifteen years long.
...In short, Taehyung is just two words: poor.
The other end of the call fell silent.
Taehyung thought he had succeeded, paused for a moment, only to hear soft murmurs on the other side, as if someone was whispering, or perhaps consulting with a superior, the atmosphere vaguely serious.
Kim Taehyung [O]
💭*I heard scam groups are almost going public. I wonder how big this one is?*
But, since they dare to use the name of the Imperial Royal Affairs Office to scam money, they must have some nerve.
His mind was a mess, racing for a while, when suddenly the call resumed, a deep, pleasant, cello-like male bass resonated in his ear.
Open... open the door? What door? What do you mean?
Taehyung's brain went blank, not reacting for a while to what this meant. At the same time, there was a knock on the door of his "company dormitory."
Clear, forceful knocks, hard to ignore.
He shuffled over in his slippers, bewildered, and opened the door, instantly stunned—
Like a blood-stained, razor-sharp blade.
As if still carrying the lingering scent of the battlefield, and the overwhelming aura unique to a top Alpha, tall, straight, wearing a crisp black military uniform, a handsome man with a stoic expression stood before him, his cold gaze sweeping over Taehyung's messy hair, scanning the room.
Three bedrooms and a living room, spacious and comfortable, luxuriously furnished, definitely not the interior of an ordinary single dormitory.
Then, his slender fingers ended the call, his gaze lowering.
...with an indifferent expression, met Taehyung's gaze.
