This is the Final chapter of SURVIVAL PART ONE.

I've decided to update this chapter earlier than scheduled because it's Joonie's birthday! XD

Revised Version

"KIM TAEHYUNG, PLEASE PROCEED TO THE STAGE!" The host announced. The room buzzed loudly as everyone turned to search for the supreme alpha in the dense crowd. I am paralyzed. I couldn't move or utter a single word as Taehyung held onto my hands tightly.

"Taehyung-ah, they're looking for you," Mr. Jeon hurriedly approached Taehyung, who quickly blinked away his tears. Why is he upset? Seeing him in pain makes me feel uneasy too. Wae? People finally found Taehyung, so they all took a step back from him to form a circle around us.

"Sora... Please listen-"

"Taehyung. Go. Don't worry about me. Go up there," I shook my head, squeezing his hand reassuringly. Don't ask me how I'm feeling. I'm numb. I can't even comprehend the entire situation right now. Taehyung formed a thin line with his lips before turning towards the stage. Suddenly, his face turned stone cold again, empty and dark. No more hints of sadness as he sternly made his way up the stage.

"Anneonghaseyo, I'm Kim Taehyung. The anonymous alpha of House Kim," Taehyung bowed at the audience with a blank expression. Next to him were Mrs. and Mr. Kim, who proudly stood by their son. I turned to find Jungkook standing stiffly with a clenched fist as he stared at Taehyung with his lips ajar.

"Jungkook-"

"Don't ask me! Of course, I didn't know!" Jungkook snapped at Minah, who was tugging his arm for an explanation. The ballroom was so hushed you could hear nothing but the squeaky sound of the shoes rubbing against the pearly white tiles.

"We've been keeping Taehyung anonymous for over ten years for security reasons. In the past ten years, Taehyung was too vulnerable and naive to be known. Therefore, we kept him disguised and humbled amongst the other alphas. But at this very moment, our son is a strong and responsible young man. We believe it's the appropriate time for him to step into the game, knowing he's fully capable of making his own decisions-"

"Kim Seokjin!" Someone snapped to my left, so I turned to find Seokjin seething at Taehyung in anger. What's wrong with him? His father was struggling to stop Seokjin from causing a scene as he tried to rush onto the stage. He must be jealous. He always thought he was the best...

"It's not him! It's not him!" Seokjin snapped angrily at his father, attempting to leap forward, but his father firmly held onto him. He must've felt humiliated by Taehyung.

"Taehyung, would you like to say something?" Mrs. Kim handed Taehyung the microphone, but Taehyung didn't accept it. He stood quietly on the stage with a dull expression. Taehyung... don't be like this. I don't know why you're upset, but you shouldn't do this to your parents.

"Alright then! Let's proceed to the next announcement," The host awkwardly smiled at the audience after noticing the tension inside the venue.

"There's another one?" Hoseok's voice boomed from somewhere near the stage, causing the room to erupt in chaos again.

"This doesn't make any sense!" Mira scoffed in disbelief as she stared at Taehyung on the stage. She seems frightened. Of course, she is. She should be. She almost killed the supreme alpha, and she knows very well Taehyung has his eyes on her for the treason she has committed against him.

"That's right, Master Jung. We have finally welcomed our first Supreme Alpha, but did you know? Amidst a King, there's always a Queen," The entire room buzzed loudly again. People turned and gossipped at his words. A queen? There's a female supreme alpha?? I am so confused right now. Shouldn't there be one supreme alpha only?
