Taehyung laid on the bed in pure silence as he stared at barely visible ceiling. They finally had some kind of peace in the room after going back and forth at each other for what felt like hours. Adrenaline, emotions, pheromones were still ever so high. Now their whispering-yelling voices got replaced by the sound of their gentle breath. Jungkook just laid beside him as silent as he was. " Do you plan to live with me for the rest of.... my life? " The younger looked at the older in confusion after hearing him. ,,Rest of his life? Huh, who does he think he is. ,, Taehyung thought to himself. " Let's not fight again over this- " Answer. " Jungkook insisted.  " Yes... I have to... " He hesitantly answered, fearing it would create more chaos. Jungkook just shook his head while letting out a tsk.


" You don't truly want to though, right? " Taehyung nodded immediately as 'yes'. " Well then... You don't have to... " The omega frowned in confusion as the alpha continued. " Let's just play pretend. We can pretend like we have already... mated in front of everyone, you have a mark now, which makes it convincing. Just stop interacting with Jaehyun for now. Let's pretend like we are happily married. " Jungkook added on in the most nonchalant way. " Why do you want me to do that though when it's only our opinions that really matters? " Taehyung asked in more confusion and raising annoyance. " The world doesn't revolve around you Kim Taehyung. I bet no one told you that before. " The alpha tsked out. Taehyung was holding onto every part of him that wanted to smack the guy on the other end of the bed straight at the face. " Continue. "



" So... When you and I both clear out our images, we can secretly start living our own lives. Right now everyone is too focused on us because of how things  took place one after another. This is the only way to calm the situation. People are making some insane assumptions out there. " Jungkook said calmly, the younger didn't understand most of it. " Okay. Sounds good. " The omega said blankly as his mind had too many questions roaming in it with no guts to speak them out. The alpha seemed to be willing to have a conversation right now and he didn't want to ruin this rare moment. If the alpha really wanted them to live their own lives then why the fuck did Jungkook even marry him, he did wonder though. Probably he got tired of him already.



" Also uh... Let's act more.... Civil to each other from now. We can't pretend to be happy as a couple if we aren't capable of tolerating each other. " Taehyung was surprised at how nice Jungkook was sounding. Honestly if with this sweet of a tone the alpha sold him poison he would happily drink it. He wanted to ask which switch did the Moon Goddess flip in the older's mind that made him act so nice after almost clawing at his face and belittling his mere existence. He still wanted revenge but he somehow preferred peace offering for the rest of his life over a few seconds of ego boost. Everything felt too easy right now that it was kind of getting under his skin, why were both of them actually acting normal??? Weren't they some kind of hateful bully shithead to each other?, at least he thought so.



" It only takes few parts of your brain to think about a answer. It's not that hard Kim Taehyung. You can do it. " Jungkook tsked out. " Yeah, your plan sounds good. Let's do that." Taehyung rambled out, not gracing a mind to what the alpha said. " Don't forget that I'm still your prince though, I won't put up with any of your trash behaviour. " He added in a stern tone. " Marrying your kingdom's warlord isn't much of a prince behaviour, is it? " The alpha said while smirking, making the omega's blood boil in the heat of pure rage. " I wasn't dying to marry a fucking old creep like you, you are the one who asked my father to marry me. Now that doesn't sound good for you, does it? " He muttered out in anger. " Shouldn't you be grateful about how I married a narcissistic, ungrateful, immature, spoiled omega like you. You would end up in other kingdom's jail if you got sent off to there. " The alpha replied. " I wouldn't. " Taehyung muttered out, getting annoyed by every single word from the alpha.








" Keep dreaming. "





------------------------------------------------------------


Taehyung was pretty shaken up when he entered the dominion palace and everyone in the room began to bow at him. " Shouldn't you do that too? " The omega whispered out with a smirk to Jungkook who paid him non of his mind and made his way to the training grounds. " You can continue. " The alpha commanded everyone in a stern tone, which was not necessarily loud, just... stern. Seeing how all of these strong rough looking alphas going back to their training just because Jungkook said so, got Taehyung's jaw almost touch the floor. If his eyes were telling him the truth, some of these alphas were even bigger than Jungkook. He found it funny and intimidating at the same time. He tried his best to keep his straight- intimidating face while he followed the alpha with two of his personal guards.



He managed to cover his nose with the sleve of his robe as the overwhelming pheromones and scents of so many alphas entered his system the deeper they walked into the place. He didn't even know why the hell was he here. The alpha woke him up and told him to get ready. If he knew was coming to the training ground he wouldn't have worn one of the whitest robe he owned. " We have to make it quick. " Jungkook said as he walked faster after seeing Taehyung's condition. The omega almost hit the warlord's armoured body as he paused to turn around. He could only huff out in annoyance. " You can go. " He heard Jungkook ordered his personal guards. Taehyung was in shock when they actually left, weren't they supposed to only listen to his orders?? " Don't. " The alpha mumbled out when Taehyung tried to stop the guards. " What are you planning to do? " The prince asked in both frustration and nervousness.



" Follow me. " The alpha let out, completely ignoring the omega's question.  " I don't trust you. " Taehyung muttered out as he refused to walk, Jungkook could only sigh at the behaviour. " Are you planning to murdered me once again just like you planned to in your house? Was that why you brought me here after telling me those nice things last night? " The omega almost yelled out. They were now standing in the hallway of the palace's very end, so no one was really there. " Since you can't trust me. Go back. " The alpha said before he continued on his way. Taehyung knew that Jungkook knew he wouldn't go all the way back all alone, that's why he had this audacity to say so. So he just silently followed the alpha. " The guards need to be changed. How can they leave me with and single command?! This is a great danger. " The omega rambled to himself. " They left you, my marked omega with me. Stop acting like this. " Jungkook sighed out.



" That doesn't make you less of a danger. "



They stopped in front of the training grounds' entrance. In Taehyung's surprise, it was empty right now. " Get familiar with it. From now you will be trained for sword here. " Taehyung just stared at him in both pure shock and disbelief. He thought they were done with it. At least he thought Jungkook was done with being his tutor. " Actually... I prefer my current tutor more- " " That's why you got stabbed by that shabby warlord from the kingdom beside us. You are the omega of this kingdom's warlord, me. It hurts my pride. " Jungkook said as he stood tall proudly making the omega almost roll his eyes. " Aren't you getting too ambitious right now? Is it because I agreed to do what you said last night? " The omega gritted out in annoyance with a disgusted look on himself. What the hell was wrong with the alpha this morning, he wished to know.


































" Not at all. In fact, I believe we are off to a good start. "
