⭐ 03 Afternoon Breeze ⭐

People often told Taehyung that he smells like the afternoon breeze of spring and summer. That's what they said. His Mama always told him that he smells like a beautiful garden full of a thousand flowers blooming and the afternoon breeze of spring and summer.

He smells sweet and refreshing like a flower garden or bouquet with lilies, orchids, rose, jasmine and others, mixed with vanilla and strawberry. When Taehyung was aroused, a pungent scent of vanilla and strawberry always wafted from his body. And he knows it too. The omega knew this very well because that's just how his body works.

So, when the bullies at the university said he smelled rancid like rotten fish, Taehyung was really upset. He was very offended by those brats who mocked him. But he couldn't do anything about it.

He didn't want to draw attention and ruin the peace just because some shitty kids told him, "God, you're ugly. Look at your disgusting, horrible face. Ew. What a pathetic omega!"

Taehyung didn't want to get in trouble. The purpose of him going to campus is only to study, not to make trouble nor enemies.

Honestly, the omega never wanted to stand out. So he doesn't have many friends. He wasn't popular in school and he didn't want to be famous either. He's just a geek, a nerd after all, just a very good-looking one. 

But like it or not, he's famous. Many people know him—Kim Taehyung, an extraordinarily smart freshman that gets a full scholarship.

In an instant, the omega became the favorite of the lecturers. Many students asked him to be a tutor, in literature, calculus, history, math etc; almost in every subject. The brunette was even finally able to gain extra money from it, and sent some of it to his family in Daegu.

The bullies clearly were envious of him. They're the children of rich people. They come from respectable families. Their parents are obviously alphas and betas from the higher ranks.

But those brats are already harassing him enough. They just kept making fun of him in classes, library, swimming pool, cafeteria, the gym, you name it.

They insulted his scent, his wavy brown hair, his beautiful face, his tall and rather thin body, his golden honey skin, his scholarship, his rank, and his social-economic status. The bullies know that Taehyung comes from a poor and destitute beta-omega family.

Of all the insults that he got, that was the one that hurt him the most. That was the one that made him really insecure. Until one day, the bullying happened again and Taehyung couldn't take it anymore.

They got him not only by insulting a lot of cruel and mean words. Taehyung was also emotionally and physically abused. It makes him get injured pretty badly.

That afternoon, he had just come out of the library after finishing his homework. He was walking through the deserted halls to get to his dorm when the bullies attacked him again.

"Let go of me! Please," Taehyung whimpered. He's starting to shed tears.

An alpha male grabbed his arm roughly. A beta male slapped his pink cheek and then grabbed his hair roughly. A beta female snatched his bag and binder only to scatter the entire of it to the floor.

"We hate poor and dirty people like you, bitch! Get the fuck out of here, this is not your place. Only rich people are allowed to study here," One of them hissed at him.

Taehyung choked out a sob when the alpha male then touched him on the chest, and the beta female grabbed his butt while laughing condescendingly. They kept mocking him. They kept pushing and hitting his body alternately, until the omega fell to the floor.

The beta girl started kicking Taehyung's stomach and waist. They kept hitting and kicking the omega with so much hatred and resentment.

"J-just stop it, please!" Taehyung pleaded. 

The omega couldn't stop thinking, they didn't know each other and he had never harmed them in any way. He couldn't fight back. 

He curled his body to protect his stomach. He covered his head with hands while wincing and holding back sobs. Taehyung whined in pain.

And that's when he came.

"Hey, what the fuck are you doing? Jennie! Lucas! Felix! Let go of him, you fuckers!" A loud growling voice came from a distance behind him.

"Shit, it's JK. Run! I don't want to be suspended again. Come on!"

The three bullies ran away and ran helter-skelter leaving Taehyung who was sprawled on the floor and groaning in pain. The omega heard the sound of running feet towards him getting closer. His eyes were closed.

The alpha immediately knelt down and checked on his wounds, "Are you okay? Tell me where it hurts,” JK touched Taehyung's wrist who was still trying to protect his head. 

JK rubbed the omega’s hair slowly.

"H-hurts," Taehyung's crooning.

"Hey, it's okay. They're already gone. I'm gonna kill those brats," JK grunted, more to himself and told Taehyung, “You're safe now. Come on, we'll treat your wound. Can you walk? Gosh, I'm so sorry this is happening to you."

Seeing the injured and helpless omega in front of him, somehow Jungkook felt his chest hurt like it was being stabbed. He can't stand it because his heart felt like it was being cut into pieces. It's illogical how he can feel that his blood is boiling right now.

He quickly swore, he'll take good care and look after this gorgeous omega. And he will never let anything bad happen to him again.

Meanwhile Taehyung thought, this man's voice was very gentle, like it could wash away all of his pain. Just hearing it made him feel calmer, so tranquil. So peaceful and serene. He immediately felt safer now. 

And when he opened his eyes, Taehyung saw him. He's a handsome alpha, with black eyes and black hair. And he dressed in all black.

The tarot reading is coming true.

The alpha male described by the fortune teller was now in front of him, looking at Taehyung with concern. His black eyes are shiny, so clear like onyx crystals. And his jet black hair is like a raven's head.

Taehyung immediately recognized him from his scent. His scent is making him feel safe, comfortable and protected instantly. He smells like forests and oceans that are calm and serene, but also majestic and frightening.

For a moment, the two stare at each other deeply.

There's no doubt. He is him.

And as if the alpha could read his mind, the man in front of him was also stunned, looking at Taehyung with awe in realization.

Without delay or hesitation, the alpha Jeon Jungkook's imprint on the omega Kim Taehyung as he right away stated, "You're my mate."

Then all of the sudden, all went black for Taehyung.
