It was weird.

To think Seokjin could sleep so soundly beside Taehyung after he poured everything to the alpha's lap. He told him everything he knew, about his clan; his father; his mother; his past.

It took a lot of effort for Taehyung to be calm and stay still when Seokjin mentioned about his dark past. Maybe it was because the omega had the alpha beside him, he could spill the truth without shedding a single tear.

Like he was taking a really old book from the bookshelf, he caressed the cover and open the book. Reading it page by page, telling every chapter; every word; so smooth like pouring cold water to the dry ground.

He trembled, hands shaking but he didn't cry. He wanted to laugh actually when he looked up and Taehyung's jaw clenched so hard and the alpha's eyes turned to cobalt blue once again. He mattered that much for the younger man, Seokjin couldn't say any complaint.

Seokjin was afraid at first, he started it a little bit mainstream; 'I was kidnapped and they raped me' of course any alpha would go rampage if they knew something like that happened to their omega but Seokjin was confused where to start so he just said what inside his mind without really considering Taehyung's reaction.

He continued, telling the worst part first because- he didn't know why but maybe it would be less hurt if Taehyung leaves him immediately rather than he waits until the end to be abandoned behind.

His alpha stayed. He sat beside Seokjin until the omega finished telling him that the prince's father and mother saved him; no wonder that the omega respected Taehyung's parents so much. They were his saviours, the one who found him and brought him back.

Seokjin moved to Taehyung's lap when he saw the alpha's eyes turned into cobalt blue, he stopped for a while; kissing the alpha's jaw and went up to his eyes. The older man sighed happily when Taehyung's tensed shoulders relaxed.

"It's okay-"

"No."

"Tae-"

"It's not and never pretend to be okay in front of me," the younger man hissed; clearly annoyed as he snarled, Seokjin nodded. He let out a shaky breath, reaching for Taehyung's hand and the younger man leaned back to the wall. They were renting a room with a single bed, too small but Hani said she just has one room left so they shared a room and it wasn't like they were refusing.

Those people were dead but Taehyung wanted to revive and kill them again. Make it slower, agonizing slow and torture them, the prince wasn't someone who would show mercy to corrupted people like that after all.

Seokjin smiled, Taehyung wondered what kind of sorcery the omega used to look so fine when he told him this story. It was normal, the alpha would hide this story too if he was in the same place as his mate. He felt a little guilty for forcing Seokjin; the omega shook his head, "I can hide this forever until my grave, but I chose to tell you, Taetae."

Simple words but Taehyung was fighting the urge to cry when Seokjin said that, the omega trusted him; that much. The opening is never an easy thing to do, showing your flawed self or worse, your dark side isn't something easy even for Kim Seokjin.

When he was done with the bad part, Seokjin started to open the memories he held so dearly. His mother, the beautiful omega; his father, the strong alpha who led their clan; his people, people who treated each other kindly. The pieces of memories he hid behind, the memories he protected from the darkness.
