Kim Taehyung walked into The Korean Red Cross Blood Services (KRCBS) in Jung-gu as he was stopped just outside of the library.
He was trying to find purpose to live a fruitful life, he said. "I saw your flyer and I would like to know, how could I save a life?"
Saving a life. What does it mean to save a life? Is this new life mission of his make him have a firmer resolve?
Maybe.
His mother just died last week from an illness she concealed.
Damn this life!
Illness was something he didn't see coming.
Illness is something money cannot buy.
Illness is something that will render one useless.
How he wished he could have saved his mother's life.
So here he is at least trying to save himself from wallowing even more.
Here he is trying to find a purpose in his life.
"You came to the right place." The receptionist stated.
"Can I donate anonymously?" He asked.
"We can withhold your name when we process your blood." She said.
He nodded. "Why'd you ask?" She eyed him curiously.
"I have a very rare blood type but please don't tell anyone"
"How rare is your blood?" A handsome man comes up to him, rendering him immovable. "Don't tell me you are AB-?"
Taehyung stared at the beautiful man in front of him, speechless, he just looked at him.
He frowned though. His family told him once other people find out about his rare blood type, they would flock like vultures.
"I will do anything, just tell me, the man pleaded." The handsome doe-eyed man asked him.
Taehyung turned to the receptionist and asked, "Can I come back another day?"
"Of course, you can." She said smiling.
"Tell me, what do you need for your blood?" He followed Taehyung.
"Please, I am not interested. " Taehyung stated, resisting as much as he could. He quickly walked out of the donation center towards his car.
"I beg you, please?" The man ran after him.
Taehyung thought, 'why is he so desperate?'
"I am not a stalker, I promise you." The man touched his shoulder. He took a deep breath as he slowly turned around.
Brown smoldering eyes welcomed Taehyung's proximity. His ear piercing with his powerful persona was intimidating but his eyes even their sharpness cannot deny intense worry.
"I am sorry. I do not know you." Taehyung said as he held on tightly to his last resolve.
He was beyond attracted to the alpha in front of him.
And the alpha should be aware by now because of the strong scents emanating that the omega was flustered, nervous, and needy.
"If you want me to mate you, I will, I just need your blood." the alpha leaned towards Taehyung. He smelled a slight attraction from him but it was not intense, maybe a mere attraction.
Taehyung turned around hesitantly and looked at him.
The man handed him his business card.
"Think about it, please?" He said as he looked deeply into Taehyung's eyes.
Jeon Jeongguk
President and CEO
J Corporation
"Sorry, I have to go," Taehyung said as he turned around and pocketed the card.
That was two years ago and somehow Kim Taehyung already lost hope with making his alpha fall in love or mate with him.
Everything was a lie and everyday his hope shattered. Jeongguk bought him a house, no, not a house, a prison, where he was supposed to live with his husband.
But Taehyung stayed at the house day in and day out, only seeing the alpha when he decides to drop off to see him before Jimin's blood transfusion. Taehyung looked out the window, with rain pelting so hard.
Marriage It was all a big joke.
He was hoping that he could turn back time and didn't allow himself to consent to this arrangement. He left his life, and his family, with the hopes that he would find love with Jeongguk but he was losing that hope.
Whenever he looked at the alpha, he felt that he looked at him as if he was translucent, nothing, like a dishrag in fact because after donating blood, he was back to being one.
He heard the keys jingle as he was reading a book.
He looked up and immediately smelled the alpha's intoxicating scent.
The harsh truth was he would smell incredibly sexy for Taehyung when he needed to donate blood.
For the two years, they have been together, Taehyung should already be immune with it, but his omega gives in every single time.
"Tae?" Jeongguk said seriously as he approached him.
Taehyung just looked up at him, resisting to approach him, to feed his ego.
"My mother said you visited them? How sweet of you!" Jeongguk said as he ruffled the omega's head.
'I am not your pet.' Taehyung disdainfully thought. "Yes, I did." He smiled a weak smile.
"That's great." Jeongguk sat down, forcing himself to smile at his husband.
Taehyung did, after washing a week's worth of laundry, ironing them and putting them back in their closet oh and mop the entire house after cooking a week's worth of food.
His pheromones must have given off a bitter, foul scent but there were scent blockers, ones that Jeongguk gifted him with.
"Does Jimin need blood transfusion, is it why you are here?" Taehyung asked as he continued reading the book.
"Yes, tomorrow, I need you tomorrow." Jeongguk said as he stood up.
Taehyung knew it like clockwork and he just sighed. "Okay, I will be there." He said before the alpha walked out the door.
Jimin, one of Jeongguk's childhood best friends who was engaged to another best friend.
They were out partying one night two years ago when they met with an accident.
Jeongguk was the driver and he was a bit buzzed when he hit a 16-wheeler truck that killed his best friend and caused serious injuries to Jimin, requiring regular blood transfusions.
