⭐ 20 Magic Wands ⭐

Taehyung hated himself.

He hated his reaction. He detest his insecurity and inferiority. 

He hates his flaws and imperfections. He doesn’t like the situation at all.

Seeing Jungkook being kind and friendly to the nurses, the reporters and their college friends has opened his eyes wide. It crushed his ego somehow. 

He's a nobody.

Taehyung is a nobody. 

He was nobody but an insignificant ugly duckling, not the most beautiful swan who deserves standing next to Jeon Jungkook.

Almost everyone he meets looks up to Jungkook. The alpha was the star of the show. They look at the alpha with such admiration, awe and respect. They're all amazed and dazzled by the raven-haired young man.

And to his horror, they all looked prestigious, good-looking, happy, healthy, wealthy, with a fashion style that made Taehyung’s self-confidence evaporate somewhere. The difference was so real. 

The socio-economic inequality and disparities he had faced was so real.

The omega felt unworthy of JK. That alpha deserved the best. And so did he. But right now, he felt so unworthy of Jungkook. He didn’t deserve him.

Not like him, they all certainly lived comfortably, they lived in abundance it seemed. Those betas, alphas and omegas that come around Jungkook; they all wear big, international brands of luxury goods bags, clothes and shoes, which according to humans are very prestigious, overpriced or totally expensive. 

Not only do they look graceful, refined and pricey. They also smell good and expensive too. Their styles screamed royal from top to toe. Even the accessories they used; their glasses and watches, all look premium and big-budget. 

And as far as Taehyung knows, even their cars and motorbikes are all elegant, extravagant and classy. Their vehicles must cost a fortune since it all made for the upper class and high-class people like them.

Most of them did come from the upper middle class. While Taehyung, the omega felt unfortunate, fragile and vulnerable considering he was just a dirty, tacky and nerdy puppy from a small town, Daegu. 

He was not the alpha or beta who lived in a big city like Jungkook and his inner circle. Even Jungkook’s driver and trusted men looked more fashionable and prosperous than him.

Discomfort struck the omega in an instant. Fear, anxiety and confusion were distracting him. The omega was scared, even his own reflection was haunting him. 

Taehyung was exhausted. He was sick and tired. He didn’t want to sweat the small and petty things, yet he couldn’t help it.

He was so fed up that there's just too much pressure to take. He had to take them all, all at once. He had felt this way before. And now the feelings are getting worse than before. It was all overwhelming for him.

Can he trust Jungkook with his heart, his ego, his dignity, his honor and all his body and soul? There is no guarantee that Jungkook will never hurt him. 

Okay, now he has found the filthy rich prince charming Jeon Jungkook. That tarot reading apparently was right. 

So what now?

Can he trust Jungkook with his heart, his ego, his dignity, his honor and all his body and soul? There is no guarantee that Jungkook will never hurt him. 

Yup, those thoughts were repeating again and again in his mind. 

In this world, whether for humans or vampires and werewolf species like him, everything is the same. It was all the same old story. Look at the historical records to find out it all. There were so many evidences out there. 

There are many filthy rich people who are kind. They live with humility. They have those humble hearts. They respect all creatures from all walks of life and do not abuse their power and privilege. Yet there are many of them showing the opposite. And Taehyung is afraid of being hurt by Jungkook or his parents/ family/ friends etc because of that. 

Taehyung washed his face with warm water from the basin in the bathroom where he was being treated. He took a deep breath in sadness. The omega doesn’t even feel like he really belongs here, in this so-called VIP room in Jeon Hospital. 

He then wiped the steam from the mirror in front of him and looked in the mirror. His face looked gloomy and concerning actually. He looked poignant and pitiable. There was deep sadness radiating from his puffy eyes after crying before. 

There were dark circles under both of his eyes. He did not look radiant, vibrant or glowing and healthy. He did have his own beauty, but it was clear that he looked poor and malnourished. 

The brunette became very embarrassed and felt inferior to face Jungkook. And this whole new world.

All the young, healthy, handsome and pretty betas and omegas were busy surrounding him before. They were showering him with compliments, appreciations and all. They all looked tantalizing. They exude beauty while Taehyung’s skin is not really dewy, supple and radiant like all of them. Both men and women, they all wanted to win Jungkook's heart. Everyone wanted his attention. It was so annoying to see. 

Meanwhile his reflection in the mirror, oh my, poor Taehyung looked so pathetic. Even with his beautiful, stylish and fancy pajamas, he still looked unkempt, unhealthy and malnourished. 

His foxy eyes were actually beautiful, many people told him that before. But right now, they looked sunken. 

And his cheekbones were so thin and skinny, it looks like he’s wearing too much contours since he was that thin. His skin looks dull and not glowing. He looks pale like a half-decayed zombie in the horror gore/ slasher movies Jungkook has watched before.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the prettiest of them all?” Taehyung sighed.

Internal and external conflicts are faced by Kim Taehyung, even after the tarot reading prediction about the handsome rich alpha Jeon Jungkook has come true. Yet, can their love story run smoothly against all odds? 

Can Taehyung really marry him? Ah, what a fantasy. 

Keep dreaming, Taehyung.  

He is just a dirty village boy. His family only farms and raises livestock to survive. They have a large debt and mortgaged the house and the remaining land for capital for their small agricultural business and livestock breeding. With his miserable condition, he feels very unworthy to be the mate of the cool, shimmering and sparkling Jeon Jungkook.

The brunette knew he may sound cranky and whiny right now, yet the omega couldn't help it. He wanted to transform from a dirty and poor ugly duck into a beautiful and well-groomed swan which was rich, expensive and glorious in luxury. 

Was it wrong for him to want that?

And who should he ask for help this time? 

If only he had some kind of magic wands to change things in an instant.

The omega needed a miracle. He needed magic from a fairy godmother. It was Jimin who had been acting like a fairy godmother to him all the time. 

If only his best friend was here, he would be able to help Taehyung or at least give him good advice on what he should do.

And with all those hunger beasts out there as his rival wanting to take away Jungkook from him, the brunette really needs to take care of the beauty of his face and body. Taehyung was indeed unkempt. 

And he needs a little magic to turn the table and flip the story.
