Staying with the head Alpha had made Taehyung completely forget the roots of his hatred towards him, he was only aiming for the above, forgetting what was hidden under the iceberg, the top of the iceberg consisted of pretty obvious reasons and that is his name which was nearly snatched away from because of some idiotic rule of an Alpha loving his mate too much and abusing his power for love, but he was brought back to reality when he sat in front of the mirror, hand brushing away his bangs from his face, and finally revealing the true reason behind hatred for the head Alpha.
His eyes traced his features through the glass reflecting him, his fingers caressing his burnt skin, distorted by the fire, it was traumatizing, it left an open wound in his mind, he, unfortunately, grew up with the fear of fire, each time he sees it he is reminded of how he was deprived of living a normal life, and instead he has to hide his horrid appearance from the world to finally not get those disgusted and frightened glances from the people he passes, he let his hair grow and used it as a shield to protect his poor self from the other's judgment looks.
It happened ten years ago and exactly on the day of his birthday, he had a birthday cake all beautifully decorated for him on the dinner table, the old man taking care of him smiled at him one last time before the fire started, from the rooftop reaching down the wooden walls, and trapping them inside with the smoke burning their lungs, he could remember the face of the old man who took care of him for six months hugging him at all costs from the wild spreading fire, sacrificing himself for a young boy he knew for half a year.
No one came for them, no one helped him, no one was there to stop the fire and save the old man dying from suffocation before burning and turning into ashes. No one was there because they were all busy celebrating a dead person's birthday, it was not only a tradition but people that don't attend it or celebrate it are fined and sometimes arrested for not giving a damn about this dead Luna, he despises the head Alpha for what he had done to him, it was his fault and nothing can repair his face, if he doesn't force everyone, even the guards to come with him to the lake and celebrate a useless and pointless tradition then they could have been saved.
They could have been saved in time and no one would have died, he would still walk outside without the intense fear of the disgusted looks of people and the frightened face of youngsters and children, a lone tear rolled down his cheek, where it used to roll down on soft and flawless skin it now streams down a coarse one, he let his emotions pour out silently, busy studying his face and forcing himself to believe that there is a solution to his face.
After the house burnt down he was forced to leave the area, he used to wander around the realm for hours before he exhausts himself and falls asleep in a random street, hungry and stomach empty, until Jimin welcomed him with open arms in his household, met in high school and are now sharing the latter's apartment, but here he is, he was told he had a big heart despite his attitude and cold demeanor, seeing the Head Alpha so broken crying alone has uneasily squeezed his heart, he couldn't leave him like this, because he doesn't consider himself as a bad person.
The head Alpha didn't do it on purpose, he just wanted to celebrate his mate's birthday but unfortunately, it had to happen that day, when no one was there to rescue them, from that day he learned a lot of things, that he should never rely on others to save himself, because if he did so he would be ashes at the moment, he shouldn't get attached too much because unfortunately people don't last forever and seeing the man that took care of him happily suffocate to death was just enough to toughen up his heart, Jimin is the only exception, the latter had helped him, gave him a roof and fed him for months without expecting anything back.
He likes people with such kind hearts, he always did, from the old man to Jimin, and now from Jimin to...
