Minjae scrolled through his phone, his grip tightening with every swipe. Each photo was - Taehyung smiling beside Jungkook. Their bond was obvious, their closeness undeniable.

His jaw clenched as he forced himself to look up at the people in front of him.

Soyeon, dressed in an air of effortless authority, stood with a smug smile,  Jisuk lingering beside her like a shadow.

Next to them was Sohyun, calm and composed, but her eyes betrayed the unease she felt in the room.

"So, What do you want, Mrs. Jeon?"  Minjae finally spoke, his voice laced with barely restrained anger.

The woman chuckled softly, her smirk growing.

"Straight to the point... I like that."  She took a step closer, her sharp gaze locking onto his.

"You love Kim Taehyung, don't you?" She asked, looking at Minjae.

He stiffened, caught off guard by her directness.

"That's none of your business.."  he bit out, glaring at her.

Soyeon tilted her head, the smirk never leaving her lips.

"Oh, but it is my business, you can try to deny it, but it's written all over your face. You're in love with him."

"What do you want from me?" Minjae asked, his patience running thin as he clenched his first.

"A favor.." She said simply, her voice dripping with calculation.

"And why should I do you a favor?"  Minjae scoffed.

Before Soyeon could respond, Jisuk stepped in, his tone as slick as his polished suit.

"Because if you help us, we'll give you what you want, lover boy." He said with a smirk.

"Oh, really?.. And what's that?"  Minjae asked sarcastically, raising an eyebrow.

"Taehyung.." Soyeon said, her voice as sweet as poison.

The name hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. His eyes narrowed, shifting between the three figures before him. He frowned deeply, suspicion clawing at the edges of his thoughts.

"What?!" Minjae asked in disbelief.

Isn't she Jungkook's mother? What's her intentions?

Soyeon let out a short laugh, interrupting minjae's thoughts.

"I don't like that omega, and I certainly don't want him as my son's mate." Soyeon said bluntly.

"Why?"  Minjae asked, his frown deepening.

She shrugged nonchalantly.

"I have my reasons... What matters is this-if you help me, you'll get what you want.... Taehyung will be yours, and Sohyun...,"
she gestured to the woman standing silently beside her.

".....will become Jungkook's mate. Everyone wins..."

Minjae's gaze shifted to Sohyun.
She looked at him, her lips pressed into a tight line as she nodded.

"Do you want him or not?"  Soyeon asked, her tone sharper, more manipulative.

"This is your chance... Or would you rather stand by and watch him be happy with Jungkook?"

Her words cut deep, and Minjae felt the walls around his resolve crumbling. He wanted Taehyung for himself.

"Yes, I want him.... What do I need to do?" He asked, looking at Soyeon.
