KIM TAEHYUNG

"What is he doing here?" Jeongguk growls. I gesture Jimin to wait for a second and go to the Alpha.

"Can he come with us?" I ask and he raises an eyebrow. "And why would I let him come with us? He has a pack", he says. "Please, he just lost his only parent and is all alone here. In your pack he has me", I say, "And besides, I miss my friend. We used to be around each other 24/7."

Jeongguk huffs. "You're way to weak and forgiving, you'll get in trouble with that", Jeongguk says as he opens the door. "He can come." He sits back and I frown, flashbacks of when I was younger and people would call me weak and worthless coming back again.

But I fight my tears, my friend just lost his mother and he's my priority for now. So I turn around and smile at him, gesturing him to come. "You can come", I smile and Jimin smiles back sadly, yet honestly happy he can come.

Jimin sits in the back with his bag and I sit in the front since there isn't much more space on the backseat. A big cabinet is laying there, locked with multiple locks.

"What is that, Alpha?" I ask, but Jeongguk doesn't react. I bite my lip and look out of the window, way from the angry Alpha.

I just hope we're back at the pack as fast as possible.

I'm happy Jimin is coming. He already sold his old apartment to live with his mother who wasn't feeling well, luckily, otherwise, it would be an even bigger problem.

I look over my shoulder to see Jimin fell asleep and smile little. He looks so cute when he's asleep. I look at Jeongguk again, he looks at the road with furrowed eyebrows and clenched jaw, mad if you ask me.

"Are you mad at me, Alpha?" I ask softly and gulp when he suddenly glares at me. "No." it came out as a growl, and I'm not going to lie, his behavior is scaring me a bit. I can feel his anger, it flows of him in many ways, scent, energie. I gulp and softly lay my hand on his lower arm. "W-Why are you s-so angry then?" I stutter, feeling so uncomfortable and scared.

Jeongguk looks at me, eyes changing a bit and he sighs. "Nothing", he grumbles and looks away again. I let go of his arm, playing with my fingers and I could see his muscles flex on the place my hand was at first.

I bet my lip, scared I pissed him off again and I did, but not in the way I expected. Before I could really register what's happening, he had placed his hand on my thigh and squeezed it softly, making me look like a tomato again and tense a bit. But it doesn't take long till I relax again and let Jeongguk's hand lay there.

When we arrive I get out quickly, still having red cheeks from before and I quickly open Jimin's door. "Jiminie", I whisper and grab his hand softly. He mumbles some things, making me giggle. I wake him up with that sound and see his eyes flutter open.

"Where are we?" Jimin yawns. "At the packhouse", I say and Jimin gets out of the car to look around. "It's so big", he says with surprised eyes as he looks towards the big mansion and I giggle as I nod. "Yes. I still don't know the way to everything", I say and Jimin smiles little.

"We don't have the whole day", Jeongguk interrupts us and walks towards the door. "If you stay here, you need to come with me", Jeongguk says towards Jimin and he quickly nods before rushing after him. I walk with them too till I see Seokjin stand in the hallway, frozen on his spot and looking at us with widen eyes.

"I go to Jinnie Hyung, I see you later okay?" I ask Jimin and he nods softly as he looks at Seokjin and frowns confused.

I go to Seokjin and wave in front of his face. "Hyung, how are you? Why are you staring so much?" I ask. "I don't know", he mumbles insecure, a way I've never seen him before. "Taehyung", he mumbles and looks at me with scared eyes. I nod. "Come with me", he says and grabs my hand to drag me with him towards his room. I frown worriedly as he pushes me down on his bed and sits next to me.

"I need to tell you something and you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else", he says and I nod.

"You know Namjoon right?" he starts and I nod. "He's my mate", he says and my eyes widen. "Wait what?" I exclaim as I never noticed this. "Sort of", Seokjin adds. I give him a questionable look and he sighs. "He feels the mate bond with me, but I barely feel it with him", he says.

Okay, my head started spinning. "So you're mates but only he really feels it?" I ask. He nods. "I feel it too, but not as much as I should. And I now know why", he says. "Jimin?" I ask surprised and he nods. "I felt the same as I felt when I first met Joonie", he explains and my eyes widen. "But Jimin already had his mate, he lost him in a battle", I say.

I look up. I don't know what the moon goddess is doing, but stop making it all so complicated, please... Is she on vacation or something?

"Okay, who knows about you and Namjoon? Does Alpha Jeon know?" I ask. "Namjoon and I didn't tell anyone. We know that Jeongguk will go crazy, especially when we didn't know yet if it would work out", Seokjin says and I nod softly.

"What should I do?" Seokjin asks. I blow out some air, not knowing what to do or say. "What do you want?" I ask and Seokjin shrugs. "You have a 'something' with Namjoon. You can't just do anything", I say and Seokjin frowns. "You're right, I should inform Namjoon too", he says. "Well-" I stop talking when I could see his eyes change and know he's mind linking.

Less than one minute later, Namjoon storms in. "Baby what's wr-", he stops talking with big eyes when he sees me and I could feel the tension rise. "Wait w-where are t-the b-babies? I thought y-you... collected them?" I giggle by Namjoon's failing attempt to save his ass. "Woah would someone have that? Anyway, Tae knows about us", Seokjin says.

"What? How?" Namjoon asks. "I just told him", Seokjin rolls his eyes, and Namjoon sighs. "Why?" "Because you know how I felt half of the mate bond with you?" Seokjin asks. I'm just sitting there listening to them and wishing I wasn't.

"Yes, why?" "Taehyung brought his little friend and he's the lucky one who got the other half", Seokjin says and Namjoon's eyes widen. "What?!" Seokjin sighs, "do I need to explain again if was this just an exclaim of disbelief?" I bite my lip, looking at them.

"So what now?" Namjoon asks. "I don't know..." Seokjin sighs and stands up to walk closer to him. "I love you, but it took all my self-control to not go to him and kiss him or whatever more I'd do", Seokjin pouts and I watch as Namjoon wraps his arms around the Omega.

Even though they're kind of a weird couple, they're cute. Very cute. I can't help but coo out loud, letting an "awh" leave my lips and drawing their attention. I cough and stand up. "Sorry I'll go", I say and walk out quickly before they could force me to stay.

I walk back to Jeongguk's office, letting the secret couple talk about their problem themselves. I knock on the door and hear a "come in". So I open the door and walk in. Only to see Jeongguk and no Jimin.

"Where is Jimin? You didn't eat him didn't you?" I exclaim and get a strange look from Jeongguk. "Were you with Jin?" he asks and I nod. "That explains", he mumbles and gestures to the chair in front of his desk. I sit down there and look at him as he's just busy with writing things down.

"Jimin has an own room next to yours, make sure I don't notice his presence. I don't like to have strangers in my house, but since he's your friend I'll have to bear with it. One wrong move and he's out", Jeongguk says and I nod, happy he gives it a chance and nods just throws him out already.

"Tomorrow the Alpha of Ahgase pack will come for dinner since we didn't have enough time today, I want you to be present without your friend", he informs and I nod, cause I don't have much different choice... "Sure."

"I guess you want to go to your friend now?" he asks and I nod softly. "How did he go to his room?" I ask confused since he doesn't know the way yet. "I let a maid help him as one helps you", Jeongguk says and I nod softly before standing up and walking towards the door.

"You look good in your new clothes", a deep voice all of a sudden says, I freeze on my spot and gulp. "Thank you", I say softly, feeling my cheeks heat up. "No problem", Jeongguk says and I go out quickly.

What the hell...
