Back to the Present
To say Taehyung was shocked would be an understatement. He was thunderstruck. In front of him stood the guy he had been so optimistic to meet again. The same alpha who had occupied his thoughts for the last six months. But this man looked entirely different from the person he had encountered half a year ago.
The raven-haired alpha felt familiar yet different, like his deep ebony irises had lost their glimmer, and now they stared at Taehyung as if he were prey. Instead of admiration, those inky bambi orbs held a profound void and emptiness. His aura was dark, so dark it sent shivers down Taehyung's spine.
The petrichor scent that had once been so soothing on that fateful night now carried hints of shadow and fury.
"W-who a-are y-you?" Taehyung whimpered, still bound to the wooden chair. To Jeongguk, the omega appeared vulnerable and helpless. He was surprised to see Taehyung again, but at the same time, he wished he wasn't here. Jeongguk had never imagined they would meet again under such dire circumstances. Yet, he couldn't help but smirk at the defenseless omega, as if his response would wound Taehyung even further.
"You wanna know who I am, huh?" He rasped, bending his torso as he gripped the omega's chin.
"J-just tell me a-already," Taehyung whimpered again under Jeongguk's touch. Jeongguk stared at the omega, his fingers lightly holding Taehyung's chin. He could sense that Taehyung was both frightened and stunned.
But now, Jeongguk had no alternative but to reveal his actual identity. He, though ruthless in his world, couldn't help but be mesmerized by their first encounter and secretly wished that one day, the omega would call him.
He took a step back, still hoping that Taehyung wouldn't despise him, even after learning the truth.
"JK, I'm sure you must have heard of," Jeongguk said bluntly, staring deeply into Taehyung's chocolate brown eyes.
Another wave of shock hit the omega as if a sudden, terrible concussion had thrown him backward. It was too much for him to take in one day. Witnessing a murder, getting kidnapped by a vicious alpha, and now discovering that his crush was a member of South Korea's biggest mafia gang.
Taehyung's emotions were in turmoil, his mind clouded with overwhelming sentiments. He had cried helplessly for so long, and now he felt weak and exhausted. His emotions were unstable, and unable to cope with the weariness and enervation, the poor omega fell unconscious once more.
