In a gritty world of organized crime, 'Horizon' unfolds the tumultuous tale of alpha mafia Jeon Jungkook and omega Kim Taehyung. Their forbidden love amid power struggles, secrets, and danger tests the boundaries of loyalty and passion, weaving an i...
Two hours had passed since Taehyung found himself alone in the unfamiliar room. Surprisingly, the door wasn't locked, but he couldn't muster the courage to escape.
Thoughts of his worried brother, Yeonjun, and his shattered dreams of attending university and becoming a novelist weighed heavily on his mind.
Taehyung knew that attempting to escape could lead to dire consequences. He had heard enough gruesome stories about how the mafia dealt with those who tried to flee, and the thought of becoming a victim of their brutality terrified him. He couldn't bear the idea of his family becoming targets or facing the gruesome fate that awaited those who crossed the mafia.
His tears had dried up, leaving him feeling helpless and unable to change his circumstances. So, he sat on the bed, staring blankly into space, lost in his thoughts.
Then, a knock at the door interrupted his reverie. Taehyung turned his gaze toward the door, uncertain of what to expect. The door opened to reveal a tall, striking omega with purple hair. He carried a large white carrier bag and wore a warm smile that contrasted with the grim situation. If the circumstances had been different, Taehyung might have complimented his beauty.
The omega entered the room, placing the sack on the small wooden coffee table before taking a seat behind it.
"Um... hello, Taehyung, right?" The omega paused, observing Taehyung's weary eyes. "I'm Jin, Jeongguk's brother-in-law," he introduced himself with a friendly smile.
Taehyung hesitated, not sure how to react. He finally asked the question that weighed on his mind. "A-are you part of the mafia too?" he inquired cautiously.
Jin's smile remained, and he exuded a comforting aura. "No, I'm not. So, you don't have to be afraid of me. Consider me as your friend," he reassured the omega.
Taehyung felt a wave of relief wash over him. Jin's presence made him feel more at ease, but he couldn't help but worry about any hidden agendas, given that he was Jeongguk's family.
Jin began unpacking the bag. "I brought some clothes and other essentials that you might need while staying here. Also, some necessities are already inside the bathroom cabinets," he explained. "Get showered, and then I can get you lunch. I'm sure you might be hungry after all the chaos." He looked at Taehyung with genuine concern.
Taehyung hesitated. "I-I don't have an appetite," he replied, his gaze fixed on his lap.
"Okay, but don't starve yourself, Taehyung. And in case you change your mind, I'll be in the main hall or the kitchen. You can ask any of the maids to escort you," Jin suggested. "Also, I'll come to meet you again at night."
Before leaving, Jin paused. "I'll be there whenever you need me."

Six days had passed since Taehyung found himself kidnapped. As night began to fall, the sky painted itself with hues of reds, oranges, and pinks. The room was filled with the cold breeze of autumn as Taehyung left the window open, gazing through the hazy view.
The Jeon estate boasted a vast and beautiful garden, even in the midst of autumn. It offered a sense of tranquility amidst his turmoil. Every night, he cried silently, thinking of his brother, who was also an omega, alone in Elm Row. He couldn't help but worry about Yeonjun's safety, knowing that there were many alpha predators out there.
In these six days, Taehyung had seen Jin, Jeongguk's brother-in-law, a few times. Jin had been friendly and allowed Taehyung to address him as "hyung." However, he hadn't seen the enigmatic alpha, Jeongguk, since their last encounter.
His thoughts were disrupted when Lisa, Jeongguk's secretary, hastily entered his room.
"H-hello, Tae-hyung," she panted, trying to catch her breath.
"Hey," Taehyung replied.
"I'm here to inform you that Mr. Jeon has arrived, and he wants to meet you in his study room," Lisa explained between breaths.
"O-okay," Taehyung stuttered, a mixture of curiosity and anxiety filling him as he thought about the reason for this unexpected summons.
Lisa noticed his apprehensive expression and offered to escort him to the study room. Taehyung couldn't help but wonder if Jeongguk was finally planning something dreadful.
As he embarked on this uncertain journey to meet Jeongguk, his heart raced with trepidation, fearing what awaited him in the alpha's study room.
