A few minutes ago.

The silence stretched on as the revelation registered in Taehyung's mind. The Omega's

posture flattered a little and he held Jimin's hand to steady himself.

"Wha-at do you mean eo-omma?"He laughed nervously but there was no hint of humor in his

eyes or voice and Jimin could feel his friend shaking slightly." If he was my father then—

then why did you think Minie was him? What are you saying eomma?".

Taehyung's mother ran a hand through her hair and took a seat on the cushion still looking at

Jimin with a burning rage in her eyes. She gestured to Taehyung to take a seat. The omega sat

down slowly, pulling Jimin with him onto the couch.

Jimin was still in shock and shaken at the older woman screaming her head off at him. He

was also slightly shaking at his core as he sat down.

"Eomma", Taehyung prompted, looking at his mother with his eyebrows raised." Why did

you just yell at Jiminie and call him the name of the person that's supposed to be my

breath.

"You're not making sense Mum", the omega said." Can you start from the beginning—so that

both Jimin and I will understand what you're talking about".

The elder omega nodded." I suppose you are right, I do have to start at the beginning to make

"Yo-ou do?", Jimin managed to choke out." You know who my—my real parents are?".

The omega looked up in confusion." Well, don't you? "

"Eomma, it's a long story which Jimin himself will tell after you've explained to us what you

are trying to say", Taehyung spoke, cutting his mother's inquiry off." Go on, we're listening".

The elder omega took a deep breath and released it before looking off into a past memory.

"I met Park Jaehwang on the eve of the Lunar Eclipse here at Ilium Pack town. It was a year
