JEON JEONGGUK

"Jeongguk, our brother returned", Namjoon says, making me shrug and go on with my work. "Also... there is someone who wants to speak with you", Namjoon continues. I shrug once again, not that interested in whoever wants to talk with me.

Namjoon leaves, I can hear his footsteps fade away. But other footsteps come my way. I look up, smelling something very nice.

And I see him.

"Alpha, hey", he says softly, looking away shyly. I stand up. "What are you doing here, Taehyung?" I ask, frowning as I make my way towards the Omega I missed so badly.

He looks up, teary eyes shining a bright blue. "I came back", he says and he steps a bit closer. "You missed me?" he asks softly, as if he's hoping for a 'yes' as an answer. "Then why did you send me away?"

Tears now roll down his cheek. "Do you care about me?" I nod, "I care about you, Taehyung. A lot." "Do you... love me?" I stay quiet. Do I love him?

I don't love him, right? I mean I care a lot about him, I like him for who he is, and I have feelings for him. But loving someone takes time, right?

"Do you love me, Taehyung?" I ask and he looks away. "No", he mumbles. He looks back. "But I want to.. let me love you", he murmurs before he slowly fades away.

"Alpha?" I look up, still standing in front of my desk. I see a guard with a man with white hair and a warm smile on his face. He looks a bit older than me.

"This man wanted to talk with you", the guard says. I sign him to leave and sit back behind my desk. "Hello, Alpha Jeon. I've heard a lot about you", the man starts and walks closer to my desk.

"Please take a seat", I say and gesture towards the chair. The man bows politely and sits down.

"I bet you miss him hmm?" the man starts. "Who?" I ask. "Your luna? The one you send away", the man says. I do not feel like talking about that with this stranger.

"And what about your real mate? She was... something. Choi Yuju, sister of Choi Yuna and Choi Seungcheol."

"Sir, I think you have to leave", I say standing up. "We're not done yet, Alpha. I know about your visions", he says and I narrow my eyes. "Do you make them?" I ask annoyed. This man really pisses me off, but maybe he can help me...

"No no... I can't make visions for people, you create them yourself. It's based on your feelings and thoughts. I, make them visible for people who don't follow their heart, as you do", the man says and I raise an eyebrow.

"Why would I think like that of Tae-" "Because you just do. Don't you? Are you going to say you did it cause you don't want a Luna, again? I thought you brought him away because you didn't want him to get hurt? Because it's too dangerous? How come you changed your mind?"

I don't wanna talk with this man - maybe because he's right - but I can't seem to stop him either.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, sir", I say. I never sounded so insecure, not after Yuju left. This scares me, never did I wanna feel like this again. But talking with this man makes me feel naked as if he knows everything about me.

"You must think it's weird how I know this? How I know you so well. Don't worry, I'm not a stalker. The moon goddess knows everything, and she told me", the man says, sliding a hand through his hair.

"Then what does she know about Taehyung?" I ask, too curious to think twice. "I think you should go there yourself, ask him what's up before he gets too attached to his mate again", the man says. My eyes widen as my heart picks up its speed and everything around us stops for a minute.

"What?! I thought he was dead?" I exclaim, standing up abruptly. The man looks up to me with a warm smile. "Tell me, Alpha Jeon, why did Taehyung have to leave again? Because you didn't want him?" he asks.

I sit down slowly, not giving him an answer, but we both know that I silently already answered that question.

"His mate lives, but their bound is dying, Alpha Jeon. And you are the cause of that", the man says. I frown as I watch him stand up. "Now you can let them heal, or you come to put an end to it and do what's right. A man standing up after dying, is a man who changed, a man who had a taste of the darkness or light in his afterlife. We'll see how Taehyung reacts to it."

KIM TAEHYUNG

I hear a sound, feel movements next to me. Then an arm sliding around my waist, breath close to my ear.

Half asleep and in a place no bad happens, I snuggle closer. "Alpha? You're back?" I mumble, closing my eyes again and enjoying his warmth.

He never did something like this to me, but it feels nice.

"Alpha?" A voice sounds behind me, confusion laced in the tone, a bit of anger hiding behind it. My eyes open. That's not Jeongguk.

It's Bogum!!

What do I do? I close my eyes again, feeling my cheeks glow from the heat, but I ignore it.

"Tae, wake up. Are you asleep?" I hear Bogum say, but I keep my eyes shut, breathing calmly to keep my heart beating steady. And luckily Bogum fell for it.

I felt tears come up. I want to say it's from embarrassment, but I know it's not. It's because it isn't Jeongguk but Bogum holding me. It's because Bogum tries so hard, but I just can't seem to feel the same as he does.

I wipe an upcoming tear away. Why am I even holding on to my feelings for Jeongguk? He doesn't want me back, I'll never see him again...

maybe I need to give Bogum and me a new chance.

Yes or maybe not?

New chapter! Sorry for the wait! I hope it isn't that rushed cause I didn't have a lot of time and used just an half hour to write this chapter-
