17. young love

this morning, taehyung found himself outside jimins house, with the beta looming over his head with a pair of scissors and a comb, his tongue poking out in concentration as little strands of rose hair fell on the omegas lap.

it all started with a question-

"jiminie, you think i'm court-able?" taehyung asked from were he was wandering around jimins home.

"what do you mean?" jimin cocked his head at the omega.

"like--- would anyone want to court me?" the omega fidgeted.

jimins face went from confusion to realization at that.

"why wouldn't anyone want to? you're so cute" jimin deadpaned.

"thats why i asked. i'm just cute. like look at you--- you're beautiful, fit and skilled-- even seokjin hyung too-- 'nd i'm just--" the omega started rambling all his insecurities.

"whoa whoa tae, where is this all coming from" jimin looked concerned, as he made taehyung sit on the floor near him.

"i dont know-" taehyung sighed.

"i never-- felt pretty? i wonder if i'll be lonely forever" the omega sulked.

"oh taehyungie, what are you saying?! you're beautiful. hell even i myself have seen alphas take a double look whenever you pass by" jimin stated as a matter of fact.

"no they dont! you're just saying that" taehyung pushed at jimin.

"why would i lie to you? damn, we really need to get your confidence up." the beta crossed his hands, his expression serious.

the beta assessed taehyung from head to toe and asked- "you want a haircut?"

truthfully taehyung hair was too long for his own liking now- it almost reaching till his shoulders and he even had to put it in place with a clip he burrowed from seokjin.

by the time jimin was done with his handiwork, taehyungs shoulders felt sore from having been sitting frozen for so long.

"there, all done." jimin put the scissors down and quickly took a mirror and shoved it to taehyungs hand.

one look at the mirror and even taehyung was taken aback.

jimin necessarily didn't reduce the length much- it still strayed above his shoulders. but the strands was cut in the front in such a way to complement his face- it now nicely framing his features, making it more stand out.

"now you're cute and hot!" jimin clapped his hand and later was tackled by taehyung into a bear hug.

later taehyung went to the nursery to resume the practice which was stalled since the omega had too much in his mind the past days.

"dont run into the forest. be minful of others around." hwasa had said before she let taehyung for the run.

taehyung was practically vibrating with excitement, and just as he got the cue, he shifted into his white wolf.

he didn't stagger one bit- bolting through whatever space he could see, like an excited puppy.

whenever he see someone he recognizes, he would stop and run in circles just to show them his skills.

like when he saw jungkook, he jumped above the alpha who was carrying firewood to kitchen, nearly scaring him as the wolf stood proud for the alpha to see his progress.

then, when he had reached infront of namjoons home, he basically sprinted and jumped into air, showing off, making seokjin laugh out that squeaky way- all the while namjoon had a breakdown thinking taehyung accidentally stepped on one of his plants.
