**Yoongi, twenty-three, stood alone in the dim practice room, black hair shading his cold, sharp eyes. As BTS's Alpha rapper, he projected a wall of confidence, a shield against the trauma and depression of his past. He had sworn never to be poor again, yet his heart betrayed that vow every time his gaze found Jimin. The twenty-year-old Omega moved with a delicate grace, slim blonde hair catching the low light, ocean-blue eyes downcast. Yoongi watched those wide, innocent eyes, his own growing love a secret he clutched tight. Despite Jimin's fragile self-esteem, Yoongi kept finding reasons to choose him, to keep him close with murmured gentleness, desperate to be loved in return, all while maintaining his frozen exterior.**
