The shining bright lights of the hall seemed too cheerful, the mingling noises filled with the somber music as people conversed, dressed in glittering dresses and wealthy suits.
This was a party for the wealthy, a place where business connections were made, new relationships forged over the sharing of laughter and information, champagne and expensive food.
It all seemed too grand, too much.
Jungkook didn't belong here.
In this world where everything was about status and money. On the surface it seemed like everyone was happy with their lives, if only that were the truth.
People pretend to like you to get a good deal, for business but underneath the surface, many of them loathed each other.
Yeah. Jungkook really didn't belong here.
Dressed in a two piece suit, hair perfectly gelled back, his piercings nowhere in sight, Jungkook felt so uncomfortable and so out of place.
This wasn't what he was used to.
He was used to wearing old sweatpants and torn up shirts, leather jackets and comfy sweaters. This, all the show of wealth by their clothes, this wasn't where Jungkook belonged.
It wasn't who he is.
But alas, as a member of the Jeon family, and the son in law of the Kim's, he had an obligation to attend, an obligation to pretend.
Pretend to be happy to be here, smile and greet everyone. Pretend to be content.
Pretend
That's all he has been doing for the last 4 years anyway.
This pretense has now become a part of his routine.
A part of his life.
The happily married and mated Kim Jeon Jungkook, the omega who had been blessed to get such a mate, an Alpha who was wanted by so many.
Jungkook scoffed, his thoughts running as he smiled at some people, a practiced smile, one that was as fake as everything around him.
His in-laws saw him, beckoning him to go to them. Jungkook hesitated. He saw how Taehyung went stiff as soon as he saw him.
If Jungkook could, he wouldn't have come at all, but his mother in law had called him 4 times, reminding him to attend the party.
He walked over, a small smile on his face as he avoided looking at Taehyung.
"Eomma, Appa, you both are looking fabulous as ever"
Jungkook hugged his in laws, heart warming because out of all the fake people in this hall, these were the only ones he genuinely liked.
'Jungkookie, my, you look so handsome. I see you took off your piercings?", Taehyung's mother greeted him.
Jungkook bit his lips before replying," Yes Eomma, I figured it wouldn't look suitable with this outfit. How are you both? I talked to Eomma on the phone but I haven't seen you in weeks Appa"
