Silence was like the sweet embrace of a lover, familiar and grounding. The quiet left room for his thoughts to run rampant as he desperately tried to sort them. Things about his past, things about his present, and things that are to come. He used this time to prepare himself for the inevitable because when it came he needed to be ready. No matter how many times it happened or how much he prepared himself it seemed like he was never ready. The silence gave him the opportunity to try and collect himself. He’s sat in this room more times than he could count and each one varied in duration. Void of noise but somehow it was always deafening. The quiet was so loud sometimes it could drown out his own thoughts, but he could deal with the quiet. It was the dark that got to him. No matter how often or long he sat in this room. No matter how loud the silence got it was always the pitch-black space that put him on edge.The room was much like a prison cell, cold, barely furnished, and void of life. As cruel as it sounded could anyone blame him? What kind of life was he living? Certainly not one he chose, and definitely not one he wanted. There was a cot, toilet, and small table where he ate his lunch. The door to his cell wasn’t of bars but a metal door with an opening for food to be passed through. There was a light that hung from the ceiling but it was dim and the guards liked to keep it off. It was only on a few hours during the day but only when the boss was around. The scumbags caught on a few years ago that the dark bothered him. After all, they came for him in the dark. In the middle of the night when he could finally stop his brain so he could get a few hours of sleep. The night shift guards would sneak in and use him. He fought every time even as the year's drug on. After the first couple of times, they learned to come in pairs, more of a success rate that way. Plus he figured they liked passing him around.To be more accurate it wasn’t really the dark that scared him. It was lurked in the shadows waiting to strike when he was most vulnerable. It was the monsters that prayed on him during the midnight hours and the bastards that forced themselves on him. It wasn’t the dark that gave him nightmares whenever he finally got to close his eyes for a few hours, it was the alphas who guarded his door.It wasn’t always like this and half of it might even be his fault that he’s where he is. He wasn’t the typical omega, the submissive bottom that all the alphas wanted. He was stubborn, closed off, and borderline aggressive all in which made him a defective omega. Unwanted. Useless. Broken. He lost count of the times he was called those names or even the others. He didn’t let it bother him and he sure as hell wasn’t going to start now. He was 13 when his parents passed away, only a year after he presented as omega. Yoongi had got out of his piano class early and had convinced his mom to let him spend the night at his friend's house. His mom and dad were the picture-perfect definition of a mated pair. Beautiful and caring omega with a strong and protective alpha as her mate. They had been high school sweethearts and soon mated after graduating. He didn’t remember much of the night at his friend's house all he remembered was walking home that day in August, it was a Saturday morning. He remembered looking down at his red sneakers as he kicked a rock down the sidewalk. He was trying to kick it as long as he could without it going in the street. Sirens blared as a fire truck stormed pass him causing the white-haired omega to look up. Smoke rolled into the air and above the tree line. He remembers the fear, anxiety, desperation as he ran as fast as he could towards his house. He knew somehow that it was his house that was burning and he was crying before he could even see the charred white paneling of his house.He was taken not long after that and a lot of it was a blur. The police talked to him asked him questions that he didn’t have the answers too. Most of Min family was already dead so when his only uncle refused to take him in he was placed in an all omega orphanage. Omega orphanages took in the lost and abandoned omegas and tried to find them the best home possible. If only he could go back to those days. The orphanage itself wasn’t too bad and he even made a friend. The boy was a few years younger than him so when Yoongi turned 16 the other boy was left alone when he was taken. The orphanage tried to pair him with a few packs and singular alphas but he was always sent back. After all, he wasn’t what anyone wanted and if he knew anything from over the years it was that.Once an omega orphan turned 16 they were sent to a shelter specifically for his secondary gender. This place was where he still sat today, in a cell rotting away. The shelter would only sell them to the highest bidder or anyone with a famous last name. He started off in the normal cell with a cellmate and a bit more furnishings but his back talking and sass wasn’t as appreciated as he thought it would be. Everyone liked the submissive ones and Yoongi was anything but that. He’s broken a few fingers and a couple of noses of alphas who thought they could casually touch him. Once he was moved to the isolation cells things took a turn for the worse. That’s when the darkness crept into his life and ever since then it’s stayed, even when the light is on.Yoongi was only allowed out for three hours and then they stuffed him back into his room. He ate all his meals in here and the only other people he saw were the alpha guards that walked by since the door had a small window at the top. Sometimes he sits against the wall and counts how many time the guards walk past his door in an hour. At this point he knew every guard on the isolation floor and when they walked by. Just liked the orphanage the shelter also tried to sell him to a few packs and individual alphas that seemed to take an interest in him. He use to be one of the most expensive in the shelter until he was returned for the fourth time. It seemed they didn’t like getting a lot of money they couldn’t spend because they always had to give it back. So his selling price had dropped so bad most people thought he was sick and so the last time he was bought was about 6 months ago. It didn’t bother him much he hated when the alphas tried to have their way with him and he has even ran from a few, but they always catch him. What’s the point in running when all they are going to do is hunt you down and return him to this hell hole. Come to think of it how long has he been in here again? Some say that the silence can drive omegas to madness, especially the ones that crave sweet words and light touches. A weaker omega would have broken completely by now but as proud as Yoongi was he knew it was starting to take its toll on him. His omega craved affection, touch, love, safety and he got none of that here. His omega has been starved for so long he can barely remember the sweet words of his family or gentle touches of affection.Now that he was thinking of his omega it seemed to stir the beast in him. It screamed for help and whimpered when Yoongi shoved it down into the deepest corners of his mind. Not only was he starved from any sort of healthy relationship but even his relationship with himself, his omega side, was so horrible he was scared he was going to lose control of it. The thought of letting his omega loose terrified him and with the shape it was in he was getting scared it would start submitting to the alphas that snuck in during the night. He was NEVER going to let that happen, he would sooner kill himself than let them willingly touch him. He stomped on his instincts anytime they tried to rear their head. Though it was getting harder and harder to snuff out that part of him and his depression and anxiety was drowning him. Half of him wanted to give up and let what happens happen but the other half is so worried about what will happen after he lets himself go. He felt like he was always fighting, with his omega, with his emotions, with the alphas that force themselves into his life. He was getting tired and wore so thin he felt like he was going to snap at any moment. Years, he has been dealing with all of this for years and sometimes he wished he would have stayed home that night with his family. Dying with the ones he loved looked so much better than where he was right now but he guesses hindsight is always 20/20.----Yoongi was laying in bed with his arm thrown over his face as he tried to relax into a state that was as close as sleep as he could get. Body relaxed and laid out straight like he was in a body bag. Even with his arm thrown over his face and his eyes closed, he could see the shade of black shift when someone had turned the light in his room on. The light that somehow peeked under his arm and shown against his eyelids stirred him enough to awareness. Just as he threw his arm off his face and sat up the metal door to his room opened and in walked the familiar face of his adoption agent. She was a tall alpha with a neat black bun atop her head and she was dressed in a business suit, per usual. He held back a groan as her black piercing eyes stared at him from above her black-rimmed glasses.“Min Yoongi there has been an application entered for your adoption. We got it a week ago and have investigated the pack applying, they seem responsible enough. No doubt it won't matter either way and you’ll be back in here within the week if not a few days.” Dahee spoke with no emotion as she went through the usual dialogue before throwing him into the pack she sold him too. “I gave the pack alpha your information and even gave them a bit of a warning but it seems he still wants you. Strange.” She added as she looked down at the clipboard she was holding. She looked back at him and smiled before stepping out of the door frame to make room for him to get through.Yoongi pushed himself up and walked towards the women and stopped in front of her before looking her straight in the eyes. “Tell Hajoon and Woojin to keep my room warm for me.” he spits with enough venom to rival a poisonous snake. The alpha looked a bit taken back from the sight of aggression but then it quickly changed to anger when her alpha began to yell for him to submit. Her pheromones began to roll off of her in strong waves of angry alpha, and to him, she smelt like dirty creek water. So he quickly stepped away to get away from the stench and walked down the hall. “Don’t worry I know the way to the shower room,” he called after her and the guards watched him knowingly as he made his way to his destination.The shelter liked to shower them before sending them off with a potential buyer so that they smelled baren of any scent other than their own. This way the alpha as more likely to keep him because he didn’t get offended by someone else's scent. They also gave him a completely different pair of clothes to wear for his first day out. Everything else had to be provided by the alpha as the shelter didn’t let the omegas keep any personal possessions. So when he finished showering he pulled on a pair of black jeans and an oversized long-sleeved shirt. He was happy to get out of the ugly puke green they made everyone wear with their cell number on it. He would be happy if he never had to see 13914 again. He walked to the exit of the bathroom and waited for them to unlock the door. Once opened a guard grabbed him by the arm and led him to the meeting room. He honestly didn’t know what to expect but what did greet him was anything but it.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
As he entered the room it was a bit odd to see one man standing across the table. He had been facing away from him but once he heard the door click shut he turned around a bit startled. He must have been deep in thought to not hear it be opened in the first place. The man was very tall and it made the already short omega feel even shorter. He had sandy brown hair and deep brown eyes that looked straight at him and a small awkward smile spread across his face. The alpha's eyes then moved to the arm that was currently being manhandled by the guard and his smile retracted a bit, not it didn’t meet his eyes. Ah, so a jealous type this would be over sooner than he thought.“My name is Kim Namjoon but you can call me RM or Joon or….. Well, you can pick” he started out somewhat confident but then as he dragged on it got awkward again. Yoongi was a bit unsure of all the name options but every other alpha he has met liked being addressed as so. The alpha reached out his hand in what Yoongi thought to be a handshake but ignored it as the man holding his arm gave him a small shove towards the other alpha. This seemed to anger his new alpha a bit and Yoongi couldn’t help but scoff and turn his head.They didn’t stay much longer in the shelter and Yoongi couldn’t tell if he was thankful or not. On one side he was happy to get away from that hell hole but now everything that was familiar to him was gone. Yoongi knew that if he planned the part of the perfect omega that they would keep him but his pride wouldn’t let him. So he was always returned and was always thrown back into the clutches of the night shift.The drive to the house was quiet but it wasn’t because the other man didn’t try. No, the alpha tried a few times to start up a conversation but the omega either didn’t answer or replied with a singular word. Now that they were in a closed environment he could smell the alpha better and he was pleasantly surprised by its campfire smell. It was warm and the slight smoky smell brought out the applewood scent. It was a strong scent but not a horrible one and briefly, it stirred a memory of his family he thought was lost to him. He tried not to let his mind wonder on it much longer in fear of remembering the day of their deaths. The silent ride was nice though because if Yoongi was used to anything it was silence. He let his thoughts take over as he tried to analyze the situation. So he was sold to a pack but how come only one member came to pick him up? He was use to meeting everyone all at once in that cramped room with no escape. All the conflicting smells burning his nose as alphas and betas tugged him around so they could get use to his scent. They would push their noses so hard into his scent gland he feared it would bruise. After pushing away the first few times the alpha would use his alpha voice to stop the fighting. Yoongi found himself trying to stay on the line of manageable. He didn’t want to be pushed over but he also didn’t want an alpha voice used on him and his very will to be ripped out from under him. So he walked the thin line between and it took years for him to perfect. In the meantime, he worked on muting his smell, holding back feelings. If he didn’t emit his scent people were less likely to hold him down and assault his neck.His thoughts must have driven him deep into his mind because he didn’t even notice they had stopped until the alpha was opening his door for him. Gray eyes met deep brown and Yoongi wondered if they matched the color of wood that burned in his glands. He got out of the car and looked at the house that they had pulled up to. It was a nice sized house so he could conclude there were at least two other people in the pack. They walked up to the front door and the alpha unlocked and pushed it open.“So we are the only ones here right now. I wanted to give you a tour and let you get somewhat use to it before a bunch of people meet you.” The omega rose an eyebrow at this but nodded as he walked into the house. “They also agreed for you to go in their rooms so you can get a bit of each scent before meeting its owner.” He added shortly after. Yoongi couldn’t help the odd feeling that washed over him about the alpha and his pack. He was different from most but he had met a few that liked to play nice at the beginning.The taller man showed him the layout and let him into a few rooms a few rooms. One belonged to the pack alpha Namjoon and pack beta Jin. The first thing that hit him when he entered the room was how much it reminded him of the beach. He could see his family camping in the woods before heading out the next morning to spend the morning at the beach. He was starting to get use to the campfire smell so when the ocean scent hit him he knew it must have been the betas. “Jin is my mate.” The alpha spoke randomly but his words held affection. It surprised the omega that the pack alpha mated to a beta, rare but not unheard of. Though it got him thinking if he wasn’t here for the pack alpha why was he here? The omega didn’t even realize he had looked back at the alpha when he said that. Yoongi found himself looking into those honest brown eyes and felt like he needed to say something. So he took a leap and did.“You smell good together.” He spoke softly and turned to leave the room. He wasn’t sure what possessed him to say it or made him think that he even had to approve of them. He quickly moved to the next door in the hallway and waited for the alpha before opening it. Pushing it open he could tell only one person lived in this room and it was an alpha. Maybe he was brought here for him to have or maybe he was to be shared, which wasn’t unheard of. The alpha told him this was Jungkook’s room and that he was young. The omega nodded and took in the scent that roamed the entirety of the room. If Namjoon was the wood and campfire than Jungkook was the very earth itself. He smelled of dirt and moss but it wasn’t at all unpleasant. After that room, there was only two left and the omega couldn’t help but wonder who else there was and where he would be staying.“This is Hoseok’s and Taehyung’s room,” Namjoon said as he opened the next door which was across the hall from the two previous ones. The first smell that hit him was Vanilla and he almost stepped back from how strong it was. It reminded him of his mother’s baking and the candles she use to light around the house. The memories flooded him and he was getting a bit overwhelmed but he calmed himself and searched for the other scent. It was faint but not because it was fading but because it smelled muted. It smelled like someone tried to dull their scent and it reminded him of himself. Though as faint as it was he could tell it was a herb smell but it was so mute he couldn’t place it. They exited the room and went to the last one on this side. Namjoon opened the door and smiled a bit as he prompted him to walk in. The omega did so and looked around the barren room confused before looking back at the alpha.“This is your room, sorry it’s so empty we didn’t know what you liked. We’ll have to take you shopping tomorrow to grab some stuff.” The alpha spoke gently but Yoongi couldn’t help but look down at his feet. “You’re gonna want to keep the receipt.” He said it quietly and the alpha didn’t seem to hear him but he was interested. No doubt it was because it had been the most he’s said in front of him. Yoongi looked up at the questioning alpha and shook his head. “Nothing,” the omega said louder but Namjoon didn’t get to say anything as the sound of the front door opening and feet walking into their house caught their attention. The alpha turned to see who was coming through the door and Yoongi just simply followed wordlessly behind his new pack alpha.As they entered the kitchen and living room area a group of men came into view as he peered from over Namjoon’s shoulder. Four men spoke to one another and laughed as they began to kick off their shoes but soon everything died quickly because of an unfamiliar scent in the house. He knew he smelled of mint but like another, in the pack, he muted his scent. All the pack members stepped further into the house and a man with black hair and almost equally as dark eyes stepped forward with a smile. He knew who it was before he introduced himself after all he was the pack alphas mate. The smell of rolling oceans came closer and Yoongi couldn’t help it as he stood up straighter and stepped from behind the alpha into full view of the others. His omega tried to claw its way to the top as to impress the rest of the pack so that they would keep him. It was funny how his omega was optimistic but Yoongi himself was pessimistic. So his standing up straighter was the result of his omega trying to appeal to the others.“Names Kim Seokjin but everyone calls me Jin or handsome will work too.” His smile grew bigger as he addressed himself as handsome and he couldn’t help but let his eyes wander to Namjoon who was currently holding his face and shaking it. The next man to speak had light blonde hair and a boxy smile. He stepped forward next to Jin and slung his arm around his shoulders. “ Kim Taehyung but I go by V or Tae.” He said in a deeper voice than the omega would think he had. Though as he looked at all three of them his eyebrows pulled together. Were they all related in some way, well Jin could have taken Namjoons last name but what about Taehyung. As if Namjoon could hear his thoughts he spoke up and looked over at Yoongi. “No relation.” Was all he spoke before the rest stepped forward.“Jung Hoseok but you can call me J-Hope or Hobi.” An orange-haired alpha spoke up and then the last alpha spoke as well. “ Jeon Jungkook.” He had light brown hair and a skeptical look as he took in the omega. The orange-haired alpha stepped forward with a huge grin and reached out to grab Yoongi but he stepped back and let out a soft growl. The noise seemed to catch all of them off guard and Jungkook stepped forward with a look that screamed ‘I’m about to put you in your place.’ But Hoseok placed a hand on his chest and stilled him. “What’s your name?” He spoke softly Yoongi’s eyes narrowed and he silently wondered why Namjoon hadn’t told them before. Did they even know they were getting an omega?“Call me Agust that’s what the guards at the shelter called me.” He said coldly and stared into the eyes of the alpha in front of him. “That surely isn’t your name though.” Light brown eyes looked him up and down like his name would be written somewhere. Yoongi didn't know these people and he didn't trust them so he kept his name to himself. Namjoon knew his name but didn't seem to tell the others, which was odd. The omega brushed it off and looked the orange-haired alpha up and down before speaking.
“It surely isn’t.” He said sourly and looked back to the alpha. “I’m going to go to my room.” Was all he said before turning and heading back to his room. He could feel the eyes of his new, probably temporary, pack as he left them standing in the entrance.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“So what is his name really?” Hoseok found himself asking as he watched the other man retreat into his room. His eyes finally turned to the pack alpha as he raised a brow. Namjoon just shrugged his shoulders with a bit of a smirk as Jin moved to his mate's side.“He will tell us when he is ready,” Namjoon spoke softly as he looked at each member and Hoseok sighed before picking up some of the grocery bags sitting in the entryway. They had been forgotten when an unfamiliar smell ran through the house. Some of the other members followed suit and they moved towards the kitchen to put things away.“So why him hyung?” a voice asked from the other side of the kitchen. Hoseok couldn’t help but turn to the owner and then look at Namjoon waiting for an answer. “Why did you pick him out of all the others? He seems grumpy and more of a problem than a solution.” Jungkook spoke up as he stared at Namjoon.“Well, it wasn’t just one thing but multiple. He’s been in the system for years and seems guarded but I feel like there is more to him and that we could really open him up. Give him something he hasn’t had in a while, if ever. A home.” a scoff could be heard from across the room and he didn’t have to guess, it was Jungkook. Namjoon narrowed his eyes at the young alpha before turning to Jin and speaking softly to him.“Jungkook trust Namjoon he’s pack alpha,” Taehyung spoke as he placed a hand on Jungkook’s shoulder in order to calm him a bit. The alpha just snorted and got up from his spot at the island and went to his room. Taehyung watched him go but soon moved back to putting away groceries.“You shouldn’t baby him Taehyung he is 21 now,” Hoseok said as he turned back to the fridge putting the last of the cold items away. “He’s kinda right though,” Taehyung spoke up. Hobi got up from his crouched position and turned to Tae. “Why pick a difficult omega when we need one to look after the pack and be the pack omega.” Taehyung put away the rest of the groceries as he spoke. “ Is he really what we need?” he asked softly and it looked more like a question to himself than to Hobi.Soon things settled down a bit, well as much as they can with a stranger in the house. Jin was in the kitchen making one of his signature dishes as the rest of the member occupied themselves before dinner. Hoseok sat at the island watching his hyung work in the kitchen but he had a pretty good guess for where the rest were. Namjoon was probably holed up in him and his mate's room working on a new song. The music filled the room as he messed with the song and tried to think of lyrics to match. Jungkook was probably in his room sulking as he did homework for his college class. Taehyung was probably outside in the woods, he liked his alone time in nature. Though he loved the outdoors he was studying to be a music major.Here Hobi sat watching his pack alpha’s mate make dinner, sometimes he felt useless. After all, he was just a dancer.————-Yoongi opened the door to his room and entered quickly before shutting it. He felt overwhelmed even if the alpha tried to prepare him and introduce them slowly. Running a hand through his white locks he made his way to his bed and sat down. Instantly falling in love with it and throwing himself back. This bed was so different from the one in his cell. He couldn’t remember the last time he slept in a bed this comfortable. Before he knew it he was falling asleep, maybe it was the stress of the day or the bed, either way, he was out.An unknown amount of time passed before he found himself beginning to stir. A soft touch to his forehead had woke him but during the process of waking, he almost forgot why. His eyes fluttered open and landed on a familiar but yet unfamiliar face. His mind quickly woke up after that as he realized he was looking at the beta named Taehyung. He quickly sat up and looked at the tall beta with a glare. He held back the growl crawling up his throat as the man rose his hands in defeat.“I’m sorry. I was told to come get you for dinner.” He spoke quickly as he box smiled at him again. Yoongi found himself wondering how he did that but focused back in quickly. “ Jin Hyung said I had to since Namjoon had to make a run to work.” He added as he rubbed the back of his neck. Yoongi’s quietness must have been making the younger man nervous. Wait he was younger right? He looked younger than Yoongi but he needed clarification.“How old are you?” He asked gruffly as he eyed the blonde haired man. That seemed to take him by surprise as he looked back at Yoongi after his eyes had wandered out of awkwardness.“I’m 22 years old. How old are you?” He asked in return and all Yoongi could do was raise his eyebrow at the kid.Did he want to share that information with him? He had asked the other man first and he answered without a fight? Would it matter if he knew? Yoongi sighed before he answered. “I’m 25. So you better call me Hyung kid.” He said as he got up from the bed and started to exit his room. He could hear the footsteps behind him so he knew the kid was following. For a second he wanted to ask why he kept his scent a secret but thought better. If he asked then maybe the kid would ask the same and he wasn’t ready for that discussion.They made their way to the kitchen and soon he could see everyone taking their seats and Jin walking around placing food on the table. The orange haired man from before set down the last of the plates and looked up at him when he smelled him enter. “Ready to eat Hyung?” A voice beside him asked with excitement. Taehyung walked passed him and took his spot at the table before gesturing to the seat next to him.“Hyung? He is older than you Tae?” Hoseok asked as he looked at the blonde from across the table.“Older than you as well. Older than everyone expect maybe Jin Hyung.” He spoke but quickly looked panicked before looking at the omega. Yoongi could basically read his mind. ‘Did I mess up, should I have kept my mouth shut?’ Yoongi sighed before looking towards Jin “March 1993”“December 1992.” The black haired beta said with a smile. “Guess you have to call me Hyung.” He didn’t look to be asking and Yoongi could respect that. After all, he was a beta so he didn’t need to follow his request.“I guess I do Hyung.” Was all he said as he walked to Taehyung’s side and sat down at the table. He wasn’t sure what to expect out of the dinner or if anything was expected out of him. He didn’t want to do anything he wasn’t comfortable with but again he told himself he should at the very least be manageable. So he decided to follow their lead.Though if he was expecting something it never happened. Everyone came to the table and started to enjoy the meal, minus Namjoon. The members of the pack seemed to fall into easy conversations amongst themselves except for Jungkook who seemed to be watching the white-haired omega while he ate. He wasn’t sure what was going through the young alpha’s mind but he wasn’t an idiot. The alpha seemed to dislike him and maybe even hated the omega. Yoongi hasn’t exactly done anything wrong but he hasn’t really tried to give a good impression either.As he ate some of the meat he couldn’t help but smell all of them together. They gave off a very natural nature like scent. Each person smelled fine on their own but together it smelled right. Yoongi found it hard to explain and he couldn’t help but feel like he was throwing off that vibe. Already one of the members disliked him so he was already throwing off their usual environment and interactions. He was brought back from his thoughts when he heard himself being called.“Agust? You okay? You seem to be staring off into space.” It was the young beta beside him who spoke. For some reason, he felt a pull towards the beta like he could trust him. He fought off the feeling and turned his head to look at the blonde.“I’m fine.” Was all he said to the beta. He couldn’t afford to get attached even if this was the first time he felt like he could. Well, that was a bit of a lie. After his family passed and he went to the orphanage he had a friend. That friend knew everything about him and sometimes Yoongi wished he could go back to that time. He missed the other male deeply but tried to push the memory away. He pushed a lot of memories away like how his family passed, his old friend, and anything that he wished to forget. Though no matter how much he pushed them away they always found him in his dreams.He went back to eating while conversations continued around him. They only stopped when the front door opened and Namjoon walked in. Kick off his shoes before coming into the kitchen to sit at the table. He mumbled an apology for being late as he began to fill his bowl. The pack alpha sent him a glance before giving him a small smile, his dimples showing. Yoongi just kept his blank expression before turning back to his food. He honestly didn’t eat a lot, to use too small portions. Most of the time he pushed his rice around before putting a small amount in his mouth.Everyone seemed to finish around the same time, even Namjoon who began stuffing his face as soon as he sat down. Jin informed Hoseok that it was his night to do dishes and he grumbled before the black haired beta gave him a look. It effectively shut the alpha up as he began to collect dishes. Members began leaving the table and going their separate ways. Yoongi still sat at the table as he watched his new pack members. He tried to soak in every habit, more, and even how they interacted with others.“-with that?” Came a voice to his right and Yoongi’s head snapped to the sound. He looked at the orange haired alpha for a second before drawing his brows together in a question. The alpha seemed to understand and gave a small laugh before asking again. “Are you done with that.” He asked once more. A simple nod was all he got before he took his dishes to the sink.Looking around everyone seemed to have left the kitchen leaving them alone. Yoongi got up from his chair and began heading towards his room but Hoseok spoke again. “You know if you need someone to talk to any member would be glad to listen.” It caught the omega off guard and he looked over at the male. He was still facing the sink as he turned the water on and began scrubbing the dishes. “I don’t know what you are used to but judging by how you act towards us I am confident to say we are different. We are like a family and now that you are here that means you’re a part of it.” He paused before turning his head to the side to peer over his shoulder at Yoongi. “If you let us get close that is. You have a lot of walls up and we don’t know why but we are willing to learn and listen.” Hoseok gave him the most bright and honest smile he’s ever seen, Yoongi had to look away. He looked down at his feet as he heard the sound of dishes being washed resumed. Not knowing what to say he continued to his room.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Shadows moved in the hallway blocking the light that barely reached the room as they passed. The soft sound of footsteps echoed in the otherwise silent building. Yoongi closed his eyes and tried to will himself to sleep, tried to ignore the passing shadows and now hushed whispers. The soft click of his door being opened alerted him that someone entered and he couldn’t help but clench his fists and squeeze his eyes shut. He knew what happened next, it was always the same but still, he was never ready for it. He bit into his lip as a hand ran up his arm and up his neck making him flinch away from the touch.“I know you're awake Agust, you must have been waiting for me. Such a good omega.” One of them laughed as he moved his hand to grab the back of Yoongi’s neck. He grabbed the skin roughly and dug his nails into the tender flesh. He wanted to push himself against his cell wall but another hand grabbed his right arm locking him into place. He kept his eyes closed not wanting to see what he knew was coming, he was so tired. He just wanted to drift away and be somewhere else, just for a while, just until they were done.“Agust” a voice called to him and at first, he was confused. It sounded familiar but only vaguely but it wasn’t the voice of his normal harassers. Neither Hajoon’s or Woojin’s voice was this deep and they never spoke to him in such a calm gentle tone.Sleep dazed eyes snapped open as they quickly looked around the softly lit room, he didn’t recognize it. He was about to panic when he started to remember yesterday, that’s right he was adopted. His vision started to clear and it landed on a figure in front of him. They must have been kneeling at his bedside to be almost at eye level with him. A hand rested on the back of his neck where he could have sworn nails dug into his skin. Another hand gently held his arm where he thought another man gripped him and held him into place.“Agust are you okay? I could smell you from my room.” A deep voice spoke to him and now awake he recognized it as Taehyung. The younger male had turned on the side table lamp so there was light but his body blocked it. This made it hard to see his face because it was more like a silhouette from this angle.“Smell me?” the white-haired omega asked still a bit dazed from just waking up. He inhaled a bit and recognized the distinct smell of distressed omega, it was sour and it made him break his poker face as he scrunched his nose in disgust. Quickly Yoongi pulled away from the younger pack mate and sat up in order to put a bit of distance between them. The large hand falling from his neck and arm as he moved away from the blonde. Changing positions made it so the omega was able to see Taehyung’s face and all he could see was deep concern and it frightened Yoongi. He quickly looked down at his hands as he took deep breaths as a way to calm himself and he tried to force his scent back down.“I didn’t mean to wake you.” Was all the omega could respond with once he finally calmed down. After a few more breathes he was able to continue. “You should go back to sleep, you have classes tomorrow morning.” Yoongi looked up from his hands just in time to catch the beta’s confusions. The look asked how he knew this information and Yoongi was quick to supply him with an answer. “At the table, the others mentioned your morning classes.” He said softly.A soft chuckle echoed a bit in the mostly barren room and a boxy smile played on the other's lips. “You were listening?” he questioned softly and looked down at the watch on his wrist. Yoongi caught sight of the digital device and read 3:26 am. “It is late.” He spoke right before a yawn filled the room. “Do you need me to stay? It looked like you were having a bad nightmare.” He asked and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel a bit taken back. Was this normal? Did pack members stay with one another after one has a nightmare? Why was the white-haired omega tempted to take him up on his offer? His instincts told him to seek comfort in his fellow pack mates but he didn’t know the others well enough. Was he even comfortable with doing so or was it just his instincts talking?Taehyung seemed to read through his emotionless mask as he let out a small sigh and stood up. He towered over the smaller male easily and he couldn’t help that it put him a bit on edge. “I’ll head back to bed then. Call for me if you need anything.” He said softly as he turned and walked towards the door. He paused for a second and Yoongi was tempted to say thank you but he swallowed the words as the beta opened the door and left him to his thought. ————————— Slowly he opened the door to his room he was dead tired and ready to get back to sleep. He crossed the room carefully as not to step on anything or smack his toe on a corner. A soft clearing of a throat sounded from the other side of the room. His eyes looked up and to the direction of the noise even though he couldn’t see.“Is he okay?” A voice gruff from sleep asked. Taehyung smirked a bit as he found his bed with little difficulty. He ran his hands over the surface before plopping down on the mattress and throwing the covers over himself.“You could have check on him yourself. You didn’t have to wake me up.” He said knowingly as he laid down in his bed and snuggles up to his covers. “I do have classes in the morning you know.” He said remembering what Agust said to him.“You and I both know that would have been a bad idea. You’re a beta he’s more likely to open up to you than any alpha here.” Hoseok added as some rustling could be heard from his side of the room. He must have sat up at one point and was laying back down.“You don’t know that. Maybe your alpha instincts could have calmed him better? Or your smell.” The blonde added with a bit of a snarky tone. A snort could be heard from the other male.“Do you want to see me with a broken nose? He looks like he would beat anyone’s ass who tried to pull some alpha instinct stuff on him.” Hoseok said almost matter of factly. All Taehyung replied with was a soft hum before falling back asleep. ——————————Yoongi fell back asleep at one point and the rest of the night he slept without dreams. In the morning he was woken up by the sound of things going on in the kitchen. He figured everyone was already up and getting ready for the day. Slowly he sat up and looked around the almost empty room that he was suppose to make his. He slowly got out of bed and made his way to the door, he grabbed the handle and slowly opened it. Before he could even step out he saw a small bundle of clothes at his feet. He looked at it a bit confused before picking it up and taking it to the bathroom. He knocked on the door but no one answered so he opened the door to the bathroom.The smell hit him before anything else, it was strong and clear. Vanilla poured out of the now opened door and wafted into the entryway and hall. Gray eyes quickly flicked up to meet deep chocolate brown ones. The eyes before him held so much emotion and meaning that Yoongi had to look down, what a mistake. His eyes were now greeted by muscles curling around his lean but well-built body. He couldn’t help but let his eyes wander the form in front of him but then the body moved to lean against the door frame the muscles constricted and flexed in different areas. This caused him to look back up at the owner of such an amazing body.“Like what you see?” he asked with a bit of a smirk playing on his face and his orange hair slicked back. Yoongi audibly gulped and then he realized that he had let himself get carried away and the smell of mint mixed with the strong wafting vanilla. The omega couldn’t deny that the smell seemed right and Yoongi almost wanted to lean closer to the alpha.Then as if something snapped into place or switch had been thrown Yoongi’s spine straightened and he cut off his scent. “I knocked.” was all he could get out in the moment. He didn’t trust his voice to say much else to the half dressed alpha. Yoongi’s eye caught a droplet that had slid from his hair down his defined jawline before dropping off his face and onto his strong clavicle. The droplet had slid down his honey-colored skin with so much ease that Yoongi had been distracted by its decent. The drop caught in the dip his collarbone created and the omega could feel his throat going dry.“I heard, but I was about to come out so I figured no harm in letting you open the door and come in a while,” he said softly his face was almost neutral now but his eyes seemed to hold a smile. That was when Yoongi finally looked up to see his face again and try not to think about water dripping from the Greek god that is apparently Hoseok.“Next time tell me.” he bit out but it sounded a lot softer than he would have liked. He wanted to bite the head off of the alpha but refrained from doing so as he then moved out of his way and looked back at Yoongi. The tall orange haired man gave him a small smile as he looked over his shoulder before retreating into his room.He finally got into the bathroom and locked the door behind him before starting to undress. Looking into the mirror once undressed he took in his appearance properly for the first time in a long while. He was thin and maybe a bit malnourished with pale skin that stretched the length of his whole body. As for muscles he had some, after all, spending all your time in a cell you had to do something. Though from the lack of good and quality food his body was still lacking and therefore below average for a male omega his age. His eyes caught on some scare that litter his body but some were hard to see now from all the time that had passed.Pulling himself away from the mirror he finally got into the shower and instantly a dilemma arises and so early in the morning. What was he supposed to use to clean himself? A few different products line the shelves on the wall and he inspects each one carefully. After a bit of time, he picked the scentless options after all he didn’t really want to smell like anyone.After he finished he got out and quickly got dressed, once again he looked in the mirror. He was dressed in blue skinny jeans that were a bit baggy from them being the wrong size and he had a white button down shirt that was a bit form fitting. The omega scrunched his nose at this and once dressed made his way to the room where he knew Taehyung resided. He knocked on the door and when no one answer he snuck in. Hoseok must have already gone downstairs.Once inside the room he searched out a sweater to wear over his outfit. The reason he picked Taehyung was simple, he was already wearing his clothes. The smell of herbs could faintly be smelled on the articles so what would be the problem if he borrowed one more piece of clothing. He finally saw a gray knitted sweater in the corner on a chair and quickly gave it a quick sniff to confirm the owner before throwing it on. He wouldn’t have done something so needless if he didn’t feel so exposed in the form-fitting shirt, he was more of a baggy clothing wearer.Exiting the bedroom he made his way down the steps and into the kitchen where he knew the rest of them would be. It seemed his new pack liked sharing meals with one another so when he entered the kitchen he wasn’t shocked to see most of them sitting at the island eating breakfast. Three backs stared at him and between two of them was Jin setting down a plate in the empty slot at the end.“Oh, Agust you’re done. Just in time, I just finished making your plate.” Jin said with a smile as he pointed to the plate he had just placed down. The mention of his name made the others turn around and now he had the eyes of Jungkook, Namjoon, and Hoseok on him. Not even a second later the sound of choking could be heard and his eyes quickly met with the one producing the noise.Hoseok was covering his mouth as he seemingly choked on nothing, a deep blush covered his face and ran down his neck and Yoongi only raised an eyebrow at him. Namjoon looked from Hoseok to Yoongi and that only made his eyebrow raise more before a look of understanding washed over the pack alpha’s face.“Hoseok isn’t that your s-” before Namjoon could finish his sentence Hoseok shoved an alarming amount of eggs into the leader's mouth with a panicked look. Namjoon smiled as he began to chew and turned back to his own plate. Jungkook who was on the other end of the island cleared his place and took it to the sink with a scoff before disappearing. Yoongi ignored the other members as a small rumble came from his stomach. He quickly gave Jin a small bow and sat down to begin eating.“Thank you for the food Jin hyung,” he said softly and at some point, Hoseok had slid away leaving the mated pair and himself in the kitchen. He gathered his dishes and took them to the sink. He was about to start washing them when Jin spoke up.“Let me do that. Namjoon and you have some shopping to do before he has to go into work.” that quickly shut the omega down as he turned to look at Namjoon who seemed to be nursing some coffee. He looked up from the cup when he heard Jin speak and smiled at the omega.“You ready to go?” he asked showing off another smile, his dimples very deep and very visible.((The Sweater))
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“I’m ready.” He said softly in response to the pack alpha. Though he said it calmly he was not feeling calm in the slightest. It has been a long time since he has been in large crowds especially ones where he didn’t know the other people. At least in the orphanage, he knew the others surrounding him even in the shelter before he was in isolation he knew the other omegas. Another thing they were all omegas, not a mix between the three. There would be young and old of all the secondary genders and he wasn’t sure if he was ready for that. Would the newly turned alphas ignore him or would they try to talk to him? He wasn’t exactly claimed yet at least not in reality. Though his adoption papers say he is claimed by the pack they still haven’t bonded or scent marked each other. A shiver ran down his spine as he thought about unknown genders coming up to him and seeking to claim him. At least he would be with Namjoon, he would protect him, right?The omega looked up with that thought and over to the light brown haired alpha. He was taking his cup to the sink before kissing Jin on the cheek and whispering to his mate. At this angle, he could see the bite mark on Jin’s left scent gland. It looked healed and scared over meaning he’s had it for a while. Yoongi silently wondered how they met and why they mated, why did Namjoon take a beta? It wasn’t unheard of just very odd. Beta’s had a lower fertility rate so 95% of alpha’s picked omegas. Leave it up to his pack leader to be in that rare 5% but even from here he could tell they were both happy.“Alright let’s get going. I have work later and I want to make sure you have enough time to look at everything.” Namjoon spoke up once he turned from Jin. Yoongi watched Jin as he smiled to himself and continued working on the dishes before turning his gaze to Namjoon. The omega answered with a small nod and after that, they were leaving the house.Yoongi again found himself sitting in the car quietly with Namjoon and he couldn’t help but wonder how he was suppose to act around him. He was the pack leader and the man who adopted him so he should be feared and respected. Though when he watched the rest of the pack interact with the man he can’t help but feel differently. Not that they don’t treat him with respect it was more familiar and family like. They didn’t fear him in the regular sense, they treated him differently then he’s seen any pack treat their alpha. They teased him, went to him for advice, they talk to him as a friend rather than their reigning monarch. It confused him but seeing them interact with one another also made him smile, inwardly or course. It was like their secondary genders didn’t define them, they could just be themselves and not have to worry about another pulling rank on them. It both excited and terrified the white-haired omega.A soft hum came from the driver’s seat and Yoongi found himself looking over because of the noise. “So hyung is the mall okay?” Namjoon asked as he stole a quick glance over at the shell-shocked omega. Hyung? Did he call him hyung? Was he allowed to do that? Well, he was allowed to do anything but was he allowed to show this kind of respect to an omega? He sputtered as he tried to think of a way to reply.“That’s okay, right? That I call you hyung, you are older than me after all.” The alpha spoke softly with a small smile on his face. He didn’t look fazed by Yoongi’s reaction in the slightest.“Y-yea...Yes, that’s okay. Yes to both.” He said after he collected his thoughts, he tried to remind himself that this pack dynamic was different. It just seemed to good to be true and Yoongi looked down at his hands as he fought back a small smile. It was nice being called hyung from someone other than Chimchim. His subconscious reminded him of his childhood friend, he wondered where he was now.Namjoon seemed to sense the mood change and he didn’t say anything else the rest of the ride to the mall.———————Once at the mall they quickly parked and Yoongi stayed close behind Namjoon as they walked. They entered the main doors and Yoongi was rushed with hundreds of different smells and sounds. The omega had to take a deep breath as he tried to calm himself. Namjoon began walking again and Yoongi found himself grabbing onto the jean jacket the alpha was wearing. His fingers grabbed the back and pulled it into his fist. Him doing this seemed to ground the omega and he tried to focus on the smell of apple wood smoke. It was very distinct so he didn’t have much problem focusing on the scent especially when it was so close.Namjoon didn’t seem to mind and didn’t even acknowledge the hand that gripped the back of his jacket. Yoongi breathed a sigh of relief and gratitude for Namjoon’s silence on the matter. After the small pause in the entryway, they made their way to a clothing store nearby. Yoongi stuck close to the alpha and kept his head down as he followed his leader.Once inside the store, Namjoon nodded him off to look at clothing for himself. “I’ll wait over by the changing room. The seats here are comfortable. Jin’s got me quite familiar with them.” A fond laugh follows and Yoongi nods as he watched Namjoon retreat to the chairs positioned in front of the changing stalls.Yoongi wasn’t too nervous by himself because this store seemed to be a little less crowded than most. There was only about a handful of people in the store not counting the woman at the register. So the omega decided to just mind his own business and look for clothing.For about 20 minutes he went through racks of clothes and pulled out pants that looked to be his size and shirts that were two sizes too big. A small pile was thrown over his left arm as he searched with his right. The omega’s mind had wandered a bit as he looked at individual pieces of clothing and was only pulled from his thoughts when a hand grabbed his right forearm. Instantly panic took over as he looked up and into the face of an unknown alpha.“Well, aren’t you pretty.” He said with a cocky smirk. He tilted his head side to side and Yoongi realized he was looking for bond marks on him. The omega tried to pull away but his grip was firm. “I was wondering if I could take you out for dinner one night. Show you a good time.” His cocky smile seemed to melt a bit into a more genuine smile. Deep down he knew the alpha didn’t mean much harm but his abused mind and inner omega were screaming in alarm.The next few seconds happened so fast he wasn’t sure they actually happened. Yoongi had moved his left arm and gripped the man’s wrist in order to twist it. He twisted the arm backward and into a painful position. In the process, the alpha had dropped his right arm and Yoongi moved away except his left one that held him in place.“Refrain from touching me again. I will dislocate your arm or worse break it.” He spoke darkly as his omega tried to take back over. His omega willed him to submit to the alpha but his mind and body fought. This wasn’t his alpha and he wouldn’t give himself to anyone no matter what his omega said.The alpha nodded as he held back a pained groan. No doubt trying to not look weak at this moment. Luckily the alpha was more scrawny than anything so he didn’t seem to be much threat. After the nod, Yoongi shoved the alpha away from him and released his arm. The alpha rolled his shoulder and scowled over at him before walking away.A shaky exhale left his lips as he looked down at a few shirts he had dropped in the process. He reached down and picked them up as he took slow breathes. Once upright he moved racks and began looking at sweaters. The adrenaline still courses through his veins so when a hand came down on his shoulder minutes after he just threaten the man he whipped around and delivered his palm into the nose of the alpha.A few seconds passed before he realized his mistake. In front of him stood Namjoon clutching his nose, blood flowed through his fingers and down his arm. His eyes were watering and he looked at Yoongi in both concern and pain.“Oh my god. Namjoon I’m so sorry.” He quickly rushed forward and replaced the alphas hand with the sleeve of Taehyung’s sweater. “Are you okay? I’m so sorry I thought it was this guy.” He poorly explained as he dabbed his nose. Namjoon rose his head and tilted it back for the blood to stop running down his face. Yoongi got on his tiptoes and continued to dab softly.“I smelled you.” He mumbled as he softly grabbed Yoongi’s wrist and lowered it so he could use his hand to wipe the blood away. “Are you okay?” He asked head still tilted up but his eyes looked down at Yoongi’s face. He didn’t have to ask to know what ‘I smelled you’ meant. He must have been giving off a smell of distress. Namjoon had tried to come to his rescue and he had smacked the heel of his palm into his nose.“I-I’m okay. This guy grabbed me and I thought he was you and-“ he cut himself off as he bit his lip and clenched his fist. The now bloodied sleeve was still in Namjoon's hand. “I’m so sorry I should have looked before-“ again he cut himself off as he looked at the damage.“I’m fine. Just a little blood. I’ve had worse wrestling with the other pack members.” He comforted as he pinched his nose and tilted his head back down. It seemed the bleeding was stopping and Yoongi breathed a sigh of relief.“Let’s buy your clothes and head home?” He said in a question and Yoongi couldn’t agree more. It was a lot with all the people and the random alpha. Plus he just assaulted his pack alpha.“Yea let's go hom-“ he stopped for a second as his mind drifted to Jin. Oh God. “Jin’s gonna kill me.” He mumbled and a chuckle startled him as he watched Namjoon laugh at his despair.“Probably.” With that, they paid for the clothes and left the mall. The drive home was quiet but he could tell Namjoon wasn’t mad at him. The alpha had cleaned his nose with napkins in the car but some had got on the collar of his shirt and covered Taehyung’s sweater.“I hope Taehyung won’t be too mad about his sweater.” He spoke softly. As he looked down at his right sleeve, blood covered it as the color began to change from red to a rust brown.“Well, it’s actually Hoseok’s sweater. I don’t think he’ll be mad.” Namjoon said with a small smile as he side-eyed the omega.“What?!” Yoongi asked quickly, he whipped his head over to look at Namjoon. His eyes were now back on the road as they pulled into the driveway but a smirk still played on his lips.“Yea Taehyung likes to steal his clothes. I think Tae was the last to wear it and that’s why it smells like him.” Namjoon turned his smirking face to Yoongi as he threw the car in park. Yoongi looked back down at the sweater that he now knew belonged to a rather muscular alpha that he had not been checking out this morning.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi gets out of the car slowly, he wasn’t sure he was ready to deal with Jin. How would he react? After all the omega had palm struck his mate in the nose causing it to bleed over a stupid mistake. Would he want to retaliate even if it had only been an accident? Jin seemed like the protective type, it seemed like he would strike the fear of God into those who hurt his family. He was going to have to apologize quickly before he tried to explain himself that way he knew he was apologetic. At some point, Namjoon had placed his hand on the omega’s back and pushed him to the front door. The alpha opened the door and led Yoongi into the house where they kicked off their shoes in the entrance. “We’re ba-” Namjoon didn’t even get to finish before Jin was on him. “ What happened? Did you get into a fight? I knew I should have come along, why did I let you convince me otherwise. Who was it? I only smell your blood. Namjoon stops moving and let me see.” The beta growled out, he had grabbed the alpha’s face once he saw his mate and tried to examine it. Namjoon was trying to shrug away from his mate but Jin grabbed the back of his neck and held him in place as he softly touched his nose. “It isn’t broken,” he spoke absently. Every word that left Jin’s mouth made him shrink behind the alpha and hide away from view. He didn’t even get the chance to apologize let alone explain, it was looking grim for him. Would Jin kick him out of the pack? If the mate of the pack alpha rejected him Namjoon would have no choice but to send him back. A spike of raw fear emitted from his body and it was like the whole room stilled, quiet washed over them. “What’s going on?” another voice joined them in the entryway and Yoongi lowered his head. The voice had been urgent and a bit angry and half of Yoongi’s body told him to run. Yoongi slowly took a step back from the small group now crowding the front door and he was about to turn and run when a hand caught his right forearm. The hand had easily wrapped itself completely around him and it held him gingerly, giving him the chance to break away if he wanted. He was about to pull away and dart but the other alpha spoke up again. “What happened? Are you okay?” He asked softly and Yoongi could practically feel his nerves frying. “Hey, Hey it’s okay” The orange haired alpha tugged on his arm gently and Yoongi couldn’t will himself to resist even if he had wanted too. His face pressed up against a familiar honey color collarbone as strong arms wrapped around him. The arms held him close but also softly, again giving him the option to run if he wanted. The fear of being thrown away again when he was just beginning to think this was where he belonged was terrifying. All the other scents dropped from the room as vanilla filled the air around him. Hoseok must have been trying to calm him as he pumped his calming vanilla scent into the space around them. If anyone would ask him later he would tell them he was half out of his mind in fear when he leaned up into the alpha and rested his nose along the scent gland located on the left side of his neck. The body stiffened under him for a second before it relaxed and the arms around him tightened slightly and moved to hold him closer. Yoongi breathed in deeply and he could feel his body relax. Memories of vanilla scented candles filled his head as he leaned further up so he could bury his face into the warm skin of Hoseok’s neck. Bow shape lips brushed the exposed neck and Yoongi could not only feel but heard a shallow breath leave the alpha under him. “You’re okay now Agust.” a soft voice said and Yoongi found his brows frown at the name. It’s been such a short time but it felt like he’s meant to be here with them. So why was he still hiding? How could he give himself over to this new life if he was holding onto his past one? “Yoongi.” the omega mumbled into his neck and he wondered if he was tickling the alpha because when his lips moved against his skin the other stiffened a bit before relaxing again. “W-what?” he asked deeply and slightly out of breath, it made the hairs on Yoongi’s body stand up. He’s hasn’t heard Hoseok use that voice before and it did things to him that made his omega preen. “My name is Min Yoongi.” was all he could respond with and he could feel the alpha stop breathing for a second under him. “Min hyung-” Hoseok started and a sense of pride filled the omega as he got called hyung again by another member of the pack. Though he pushed down the feeling as he spoke up again. “No Yoongi hyung” he spoke stubbornly and a soft chuckle rumbled in the chest of the alpha under him. A small smile pulled on his lips at the reaction, now realizing their position he could feel every part that touched Hoseok. Hoseok’s body was so warm he could feel it through the sweater he possibly ruined. “Yoongi hyung,” the alpha said softly but he had also turned his head to the right so it was practically whispered into his ear. As if his words burnt him he jumped away from the alpha with pink ears. Quickly looking around he noticed they were by themselves in the entryway. He sniffed the air quickly and found they had moved to the kitchen, he needed to make this right before they kicked him out. So the white-haired omega made his way to the kitchen and found Jin and Namjoon sitting at the island. Jin had taken Namjoon’s shirt off but he had an undershirt under his previous top. The beta didn’t appear to be panicking anymore and Yoongi took that as his chance to explain. “I palm struck him on accident!” he nearly yelled in panic and Jin’s head snapped towards him in alarm. “A guy had grabbed me minutes before and I threatened him so he walked away. I thought he had come back and grabbed me again so I lashed out without looking. I am so sorry. I know that it was stupid of me to lash out blindly but I’m not use to having a pack around.” he spoke quickly and probably a bit louder than he needed.Jin stared at the omega with a poker face before a small smile broke out and he got up and closed the distance between them. “It’s okay. I get it. Though it was stupid to lash out like that, I get it. Apology accepted. Though if I had gone I would have palm struck the guy, to begin with.” Jin chuckled softly. “No one touches my pack members,” he added with soft eyes and Yoongi honestly thought he was going to cry. Jin was not only forgiving him but also considered him a pack member. Jin could probably smell the emotions rolling off of Yoongi and the eldest pulled him into a small hug before pulling back. Yoongi was half aware when Hoseok entered the room but was too distracted with Jin to run and hide. “Give me Hobi’s sweater so I can wash it,” Jin said with a smirk and Yoongi was not about to fight Jin on anything. So the omega grabbed the end of the sweater and pulled it over his head. A choking sound could be heard from behind him and once the sweater was off he looked back to see Hoseok turned away and covering his face. His eyes then shifted to Namjoon who was cracking up. “What?” -------------------A week had gone by with not much changing within the house or the pack. Yoongi mostly kept quiet but he did like to be around the other members when they were home. Even though the omega was being distant he was still watching the members and listening to their conversations. He’s learned quite a bit without having to say anything. Even though he stayed quiet and didn’t start any conversation that didn’t mean the pack didn’t try. All of them tried to engage him into conversations and he would put in a few sentences before falling silent again. From what he learned each member has something to occupy their time with. Jin hyung was a doctor at a small clinic, Namjoon was an underground rapper which peaked Yoongi’s interest, Jungkook and Tae both were in college and Hoseok was a dance teacher at a dance studio nearby. Throughout the day the members came and went but dinner seemed like the one time they always got together to enjoy a meal as a pack. So here Yoongi sat a week into his adoption eating noodles with his fellow pack members. To be honest he was shocked he was still here with them and they hadn’t given him the boot. Though at the same time he wasn’t shocked at all, they were so different from any other pack he witnessed. Yoongi was starting to get use to how friendly and casual each member was with one another. They also tried to include him in those moments as well but Yoongi was as antisocial as one could be. So the omega kindly pushed them away as he watched them from afar. Jungkook was different than the other members, he wasn’t as open to Yoongi. To be honest, the youngest member of the pack ignored him and tried to stay away from him, it didn’t go unnoticed. The omega wondered why that was but looking back on how he’s acted within the week he couldn’t find the source of the alpha’s anger toward him. Yoongi brushed it off and it was rather easy to ignore when he had a Taehyung trying to wrestle him into a bear hug. The blonde haired beta seemed to grow fond of the new pack omega and would often steal his baggy clothing to wear. Yoongi was also use to finding Taehyung’s sweaters and hoodies in his room when he knew he didn’t touch them. The younger member wasn’t subtle in the slightest but he couldn’t help but find it endearing. He would be lying if he said they weren’t growing on him and he found himself speaking more in this week than he has in months. “So I was sitting there minding my own business and I guess it sounded bad because everyone around me started to laugh. It’s not my fault that the piano is so hard for me to learn,” he grumbled as he pushed a few noodles around and Jin smacked him and said something about playing with his food. Though Yoongi was too distracted about the mention of a piano to really listen to Jin.“Piano?” he asked and everyone turned to look at him. They all seemed a bit shocked that he spoke up without being asked to engage. Taehyung seemed to brighten as Yoongi spoke to him. “Yea I’m going to college for music and in one of my classes we are learning to use the piano but I am absolute trash at it. The professor that I was so bad that I needed extra practice and even gave me a key to the room so I could practice after hours.” He said with a small smile as Yoongi’s interest peaked.“I can help you,” Yoongi said absently but quickly added. “I use to take piano classes before…” he trailed off before picking back up again somewhere else. “ I was really good. My teacher said I was a prodigy in the making.” he smiled a bit as he thought back to his teacher complimenting him. “Really?” Taehyung asked and Yoongi looked from Tae to the other faces at the table who seemed to be just as shocked as the blonde. Yoongi couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous now. “Yeah if you want me too,” he said softly as he shrunk a bit in his seat at the dinner table. Taehyung seemed not to take notice to his self-doubt as he spoke up again. “Yes! Thank you. Now I don’t need a tutor to pass this class.” he laughed softly. “ Tomorrow we can get you a temporary visitor pass so you can come with me to practice.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Dinner wrapped up quickly after that and it was Yoongi’s turn to do the dishes. He didn’t protest after all it was the least he could do after everything the pack has done for him. So he stood in front of the sink with the water running as he washed the dishes with the green and yellow sponge. He couldn’t help but feel excited for tomorrow. It was going to be his first real trip out of the house since the day he went shopping with Namjoon. Not only would it rid him of his stir crazed mind he would also get to play the piano again. His mind lingered on the thought before it suddenly took a turn and he bit his lip nervously. Would he still remember how to play? After all, it has been years and he hasn’t touched a piano since before the fire. He quickly shut down that train of thought before more memories could take over his mind and ruin his excitement for tomorrow.A hand came down on his shoulder and Yoongi couldn’t help the small jump that his body did. He wasn’t expecting anyone to bother him for the rest of the night but when he smelled herbs he knew who it was, he shouldn’t have been shocked. The omega held back a small smirk as he turned his head to the side to see a tall blonde behind him. Soon the blonde removed his hand and Yoongi looked back to the sink to continue his chore. A chin came down on the same shoulder and he stiffened for a second before he forced his body to relax, it was just Tae, he could trust him.“Yoongi hyung” the beta whined and the omega rolled his eyes at his growing friend’s tactics. After he had told Hoseok his real name he decided to let the others know as well later that night at dinner. Yoongi was trying to move forward in his life and that meant opening up to his new pack even if he was scared and hesitate too. So far, the pack seemed patient with him and he could never begin to repay that.“Go bother someone else Taehyung I am doing the dishes.” He scolded coldly but either Taehyung could read him like a book or he was oblivious to his tone. Yoongi didn’t really mind Taehyung but at times he couldn’t help when his antisocial behavior flared up. Unfazed by his cold tone Taehyung pushed his chin into his shoulder almost painfully and Yoongi lowered his shoulder and sidestepped to break away from the pain. Tae stayed slumped over even after his shoulder didn’t support his chin anymore.“I could hear you thinking from the living room.” The blonde beta scolded and Yoongi just licked his lips in response to the pestering kid. Taehyung seemed to get his comment wasn’t getting him anywhere fast so he continued. “You know you don’t have to hide your scent anymore, at least not from us.” He added softly and Yoongi stiffened at his words. Even if he let himself slip sometimes it was still a defense mechanism for him, was he really ready for that? Could he open himself up to them and be valuable? Yoongi bit his lip as he rinsed off a dish and put it in the drainer.“I could say the same to you Taehyung. I’m not stupid I know you suppress your scent. Why?” he asked and at his words, the younger member stiffened as well. The kitchen fell silent besides the sound of running water. Which ended moments later as Yoongi rinsed off the last dish and placed it in the drainer with the other.“I-I” was all of the response he got from the beta before he clammed up again and Yoongi was beginning to regret his statement. Yoongi dried his hands on his black jeans before turning around to face Taehyung and gave a small smile of reassurance.“How about we go to my room. You need to tell me where you are at in your piano lessons.” Yoongi said casually as if they hadn’t just fallen into an awkward silence. Taehyung seemed to brighten at the chance of a subject change and he nodded his head happily.The two made their way to Yoongi’s room and closed the door softly behind them. Once they sat on the bed they began talking about his class and what he was having problems with. Yoongi wasn’t sure how much time had passed but he guessed it was getting rather late because the tv from the living room had turned off an hour ago.“Sometimes I feel like my hands are too big and my fingers miss the keys. Maybe I was never meant to play the piano? Maybe this a gods way of telling me that and that I should be learning how to play the drums or somethi-” Taehyung had been rambling on and Yoongi couldn’t help but listen to him with a raised eyebrow. Though mid-sentence Taehyung stopped and his eyes zeroed in on something behind the white-haired omega. The next thing he knew Taehyung released the girliest scream he has ever heard and Yoongi nearly fell out of the bed.Barely a moment passed before Jungkook practically kicked open the door and looked to Taehyung before looking around the room. “What is going on!? What is it!?” The alpha looked around frantically before his eyes seemed to land on the same thing Taehyung had seen before screaming. A soft sigh of relief and disbelief came from the alpha before he walked across the room and grabbed something from the wall. Yoongi didn’t get to see what it was before Taehyung spoke up again.“S-spider, it could have crawled into my ear and laid eggs. Then the babies could have taken over my body!” he called out 3 pitches higher than normal. Yoongi watched as Jungkook opened his window and got rid of the spider.Yoongi whipped his head back to Taehyung and looked at him in disbelief before sputtering out a response. “A spider! You’re scared of spiders? Tae you are like 5’10’’ and a small spider scares you?” The omega watched him in disbelief and something he had said seemed to snap Taehyung out of his panicked state.“You called me Tae!” a boxy smile spread across the younger boy’s face and Yoongi suppressed a groan as he listened to the excitement in the beta’s voice. Now deciding to ignore the blonde he turned to Jungkook and nodded in thanks. Jungkook just looked at him before his eyes shifted to Taehyung’s face and his eyes seemed to soften a bit.“Taehyung don’t forget you said you would help me with my math homework tonight.” He said to the blonde and he couldn’t help but notice how it sounded friendlier than when he talked to Yoongi. The beta quickly looked over at Jungkook and his boxy smile widened a bit.“Wouldn’t miss it for the world Kookie. I’ll be over in a sec so go get started.” He easily replied and Jungkook simply nodded before exiting the omega’s room and Yoongi rose an eyebrow as he looked to Taehyung. The blonde seemingly forgot his earlier excitement about Yoongi’s slip up.“He has me help him with his math even though I know he is better at it than me. When I mess up I can see him smile.” A small chuckle left his lips as he got up from the bed and gave a small wave to Yoongi before loudly telling him goodnight.Yoongi couldn’t help but look at his door for a second before wondering what the hell had just happened. It seemed like the two had a soft spot for one another and Yoongi wondered if anything would become of it. The omega slowly got out of bed to shut his window that Jungkook left open and turned off his light before retreating to bed.------------Deep rolling waves of smoke stirred around him as he walked aimlessly around, nothing but smoke in the air and the sidewalk at his feet. Calm seemed like a foreign concept to him as his feet soon broke into a run, unknown panic setting in. He wasn’t sure what was going on or where he was but the overwhelming feeling that washed over him was like ice water terrified him. He ran what felt like forever with nothing changing around him before he caught glimpse of something in the distance.He couldn’t quite see what it was but the feeling of dread clawed its way up his throat and his legs moved faster even as fatigue seemed to grip his body. As he got closer he could see familiar charred white panels of the outside of his childhood home. Something hit his cheek and he quickly touched his face and pulled away before he realized he was crying. His legs didn’t stop as he stood in front of his old house as flames engulfed his field of vision.The omega was so overwhelmed with so many feelings and thoughts he stood paralyzed as he watched the house burn. The smell of smoke made him cough as he felt it venture through his throat and into his lungs. As if the sound of his coughing broke him from a spell he lunged forward towards the house. He needed to save them! They were still in the house! He needed to get them out before it was too late! Where were the firefighters!? “Yoongi!” was the first thing he heard when he snapped out of his nightmare. Then he realized hands gripped his shoulders as they shook him lightly. Panicked and dazed eyes soon met Namjoon’s and he spoke before he even realized he had awakened from the dream.“The smoke. I can’t breathe.” He whimpered out and the shock that filled Namjoon’s face was more than concerning. Soon Namjoon disappeared from his field of vision and was replaced by a black-haired beta.“Breathe for me Yoongi.” The voice spoke to him and he placed the face and voice to a name, Jin. As if his senses were only now coming back he could hear fast and frantic breathes that he soon realized were his own. He could feel something slide down his face in what he could only guess were tears that not only fell in his dream but in real life. His vision was so narrowed it was like he was looking through a keyhole in a door and through it, he could only see Jin at the moment.“Yoongi breathe! Come on follow me. In, out, in, out.” He continued and Yoongi soon heard the inhale and exhale of Jin. He tried to follow as best he could. “There you go just like that. Follow hyung.” He said softly as he raised a hand to rest on his chest. Yoongi could feel the rise and fall and it helped him fall in time with Jin.They stayed like this for minutes and once Yoongi’s senses started to come back to him he looked around the room. Jin was still in front of him but the rest of the pack was looking in through the doorway. Everyone but Namjoon he must have left shortly after Jin entered the room and took over trying to calm him.“Is he okay?” a familiar voice sounded from the doorway but it had sounded so small he almost second-guessed himself. It had been Taehyung and he could not only hear but see the worry that came off of him in waves.“I-I’m okay Tae. I just need a moment. I’ll be down for breakfast soon.” He said quietly he was scared they wouldn’t hear him but Tae nodded. The entryway cleared as the other members left and he looked back to Jin.“Are you okay?” he asked softly as he let Yoongi’s hand fall from his chest and he pulled it back to rest in his lap. The omega nodded his head slowly before throwing the blankets off himself and throwing his legs over the side of the bed.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
It had taken some time but Yoongi calmed himself down and before he actually got up from the bed Jin left the room to give him some privacy. The omega pushed off his bed as he walked to the closet and began pulling out clothes for the day. He pulled out faded gray skinny jeans and a large black sweater that hung loosely on his frame. As he was walking out the door he noticed a black hat Taehyung had left in his room sometime during the week and Yoongi grabbed it. He pushed back his hair as he pulled the cap on and exited his room.Over the years it got easier for the omega to push back the nightmares so when he entered the kitchen it was like nothing had happened only minutes prior. The pack seemed to look among themselves before looking back at him with concern. Yoongi had mumbled a soft ‘I’m okay’ as he made his way to the table and sat next to Taehyung. The beta side eyed him as Jin began to place food on the table and soon Yoongi took notice that the pack alpha wasn’t there.“Where is Namjoon?” he asked quietly but it had been quiet at the table so everyone heard him. The omega looked among his pack and no one seemed to know the answer until his eyes landed on Jin. The beta seemed a bit bothered as he let out a soft sigh but then shook his head at Yoongi and he dropped it.Breakfast passed quickly because everyone ate quietly at the table until they all had their fill. During the whole meal he couldn’t help but feel eyes on him but when he looked up from his food everyone was looking at their own meal. The omega bit his lip as he held in a sigh, he didn’t mean to disrupt the pack this morning and he couldn’t help but feel guilty.Taehyung pulled Yoongi to the side after breakfast and looked at him up and down before speaking. “Are you sure you feel up to go to my College today? This morning was…” the beta stopped for a second before thinking of the right words to say. “Stressful. I wouldn’t hold it against you, we could tomorrow instead.” the beta spoke softly to him as the rest of the pack moved around the living space.Yoongi’s first thought was to reassure him that he was fine and he was good to go to Taehyung’s college and start helping him with his piano but his omega begged for some time. The omega opened his mouth but stopped himself as he thought through what he should say. Finally, he closed his eyes and took a breath before answering the awaiting beta.“I’ll go with you, we want you to pass the class right?” he said with a soft smile and Taehyung smiled back but he seemed to still look worried.“Let me go get Namjoon, I’ll make him drive us.” the beta’s smile continued as he left Yoongi waiting by the entryway. While he waited he decided to get his shoes on and wait.Taehyung was only gone a few minutes but when he came back he wasn’t smiling and Namjoon was following slowly behind him. An uneasy feeling settled in his stomach as he watched the two put on their shoes before they began to leave the house for the car.The drive was quiet and he couldn’t help but let his eyes wander over to the pack alpha. He seemed to be tense as he drives. He had put down his window as soon as he had got into the car and Yoongi raised his eyebrows at that. It wasn’t exactly hot in the vehicle and he has never seen him drive with them down so he wasn’t sure it was a preference.They pulled into the campus of what Yoongi assumed was Tae’s college and as Namjoon parked the car Taehyung reached up from the back seat and moved closer to whisper in his ear. “I’m getting out but talk to Namjoon quickly.” was all the beta said before he released the omega and opened the back door to exit. A feeling of dread sat heavy in his gut as he watched Tae walk to the sidewalk and pull out his phone as he waited.Gray eyes drifted over to the man next to him and he seemed even more uncomfortable than he looked before. Was the alpha thinking of returning him after what happened this morning? He cut off his train of thought before he could work himself up too much. He was already emotionally exhausted from this morning so he swallowed his fears and looked to the alpha with determined eyes.“Namjoon are you taking me back to the shelter,” he asked as calmly as he could. He could feel himself prepare for a nod or a ‘yes’. He willed his heart to put up the walls he once had around his heart but it didn’t seem like it wanted to listen. His omega cried as he waited for an answer, he was so lost in thought he didn’t realize his eyes drifted down from the alpha's face. He looked back up and he saw a shocked and hurt looking Namjoon before him.“What, no. Why would you think that hyung?’ he asked softly but Yoongi could hear the hurt that seeped in. Yoongi’s heart ached from the sound and his heart swelled when ‘hyung’ fell from the other's lips.“You seemed uneasy around me and didn’t eat with us after this morning's events,” he said quietly and Namjoon only seemed to look more pained than before. His omega told him to comfort the alpha and for once he listened.The omega unclicked his seat belt and leaned over the center console to embrace the alpha as best he could. The omega’s scent spiked and soon a calming mint scent filled the small car. Yoongi felt how still Namjoon had gotten when he embraced him and he feared for the worse before he heard a small shaking breath leave the other man before arms wrapped around him.“I-I thought I scared you,” he said softly above the omega. The alpha now rested his chin on his head as the omega seemed to hold him tighter. The smaller males heart warmed at the comment but he couldn’t help but feel confused at the same time.“Namjoon why would you think that?” he asked against the alphas chest as he continued to embrace the alpha. The refreshing smell of mint still filled the air and Namjoon began to relax in his arms. Was this the job of a pack omega? To make sure everyone was mentally healthy and calm the others down? He told himself to look it up later, he wanted to be a part of this pack so that meant playing his part.“You woke up talking about smoke a-and I know my smell-” he started but then stopped as if he was struggling and Yoongi wanted to pull away and look up at him but Namjoon held him firmly in place. “I know my smell can get really smoky. I was thought you were scared of me.” he continued and Yoongi’s heart broke for the alpha. “I am your pack alpha and if you can’t trust me…” he stopped again and Yoongi had enough.The omega pulled away from the other man and looked him deep in the eyes. “Listen to me. I am not scared of you or your smell. You read my file, you know my past. The dream I had had nothing to do with you. I trust you alpha.” he said calmly and Namjoon just searched his eyes to see if he was lying. The alpha then nodded and looked down a bit guilty so Yoongi continued. “I’m stilling working on my past but I want my future to be with you and the pack.” and he watched as Namjoon’s eyes started to water. The sight caught the omega off guard and he started to panic internally. He has never seen an alpha cry before and he wasn’t exactly sure how to deal with it.He was pulled into another hug and he could feel small droplet fall on the top of his head. “That means so much to me hyung.” and Yoongi couldn’t help but smile into his chest as the alpha embraced him again.A moment later the car shook a bit and Yoongi pulled away in alarm as he looked at the front of the car. Taehyung was standing with his foot against the hood as he pushed down on the car. “Hurry up before I get on the roof and start dancing ya lover birds.” the blonde laughed as he looked in through the window of the car.Yoongi blushed and moved all the way back into his seat, what was Jin going to think. Namjoon now smells like an omega and they were mated. His cheeks darkened more with embarrassment and a chuckle sounded beside him. Panicked eyes looked over at light brown ones as the younger male wiped his eyes.“I think you will warm up to being the pack omega. You did a good job.” the alpha said softly as he leaned out his window and glared daggers at the youngest of the three. “Kim Taehyung you better get your feet off of my damn car!” he hollered as Yoongi died from all the embarrassment and the praise.---------Taehyung walked briskly through the halls with his long legs and Yoongi tried his best to keep up with him. Luckily there weren’t many people in the halls so Yoongi wasn't feeling that nervous. Taehyung had called earlier in advance for his visitor pass so when they walked into the office first thing they had grabbed it in no time and left to the music wing.After some walking and more steps then Yoongi has ever climbed in his life they ended in front of a door reading F519. Tae stuffed a hand in his pocket and dug around before pulling out a key and opening the door. They entered the room and Taehyung flicked on the lights before turning to look at Yoongi. The omega watched Tae and when the lights came on he got his first good look around the room. The room was lined with small bleachers and instruments lined the corners of the room. When he turned to the other half of the room it was like his breath was ripped from his lungs. Grand pianos were lined in rows facing a board on the wall and Yoongi took a step towards them.“Should we start hyung?” Tae asked with a warm smile as he watched the pack omega look around in awe. The only reply he could conjure was a small nod and Tae led him to the third row before sitting on the bench of the first piano. “This one is mine.” Yoongi almost didn’t hear him as he sat down next to the beta and raised his hands to place gently on the keys. He didn’t press so no noise sounded in the room but he let his fingers glide over the black and white keys.“ I am going to be a bit out of practice so bare with me.” the omega found himself saying but soon he positioned his hands over the keys and began playing the first song that came to mind. It sounded rough even to his ears but as he played through the song and on to another one his hands began to remember all the lesson as a kid and he played. Three songs in and he turned to Taehyung who had just been sitting next to him watching he play this whole time and Yoongi felt himself blush again.“I’m sorry. I am suppose to be teaching you and here I am just playing.” he laughed nervously but Tae just looked up him in a peacefully awed state and smiled at the omega. Yoongi closed his mouth and looked at Tae before a small smile slipped onto his face as well.“It’s okay hyung. You play so beautifully. When was the last time you played?” the younger of the two asked and the small smile fell from his face before he looked back at the familiar white and black keys.“It’s been 12 years since I’ve touched a piano,” he said softly but Tae could hear him since they were so close to one another. “ I was 13 when I played my last piece on the piano, well until now,” he added before looking back at Tae who seemed to be a little upset with this information.The conversation changed quickly after that and they spent three hours working on Taehyung’s piano skills. Yoongi could say honestly he wasn’t that bad but he did see where he needed to make improvements and he was sure to point them out. Tae mentioned how he had another class to leave for in about an hour and he had told Yoongi he had skipped his first class so they could play on the piano and the omega sighed. Some time the beta got too excited for his own good about things.Yoongi decided to play one more song before him and Tae had to part ways. His hands skimmed over the keys softly as he felt Taehyung’s eyes on him. After a small breath, he began to play the lullaby his mother use to hum to him as she tucked him into bed. The melody came easily to him like it was engraved into his memories. The piece was Autumn from the four seasons by Vivaldi. He remembers his mother teaching him how to play in on the piano when he first started to play. It was slow and entrancing when his mother played it on the piano which was slightly different than when he had heard others play it. His fingers pressed on the keys as he played by memory without any missteps in his fingers. Soon the song came to a close and he hadn’t even realized the pressure on his shoulder. The omega looked toward his side and Taehyung had slumped against his side and his head pressed into his shoulder.A small smile spread across his face as he looked down at the beta fondly. He didn’t know when Tae had wormed his way into his heart but moments like these made Yoongi’s chest grow warm. He wanted to remember moments like these and place them right next to those of his mother and father. The mass beside him moved closer and a nose pressed up against his scent gland. He could hear the deep inhale of the other and for a second he was worried the other would wake up and move away if the scent wasn’t the one he wanted. Though soon an exhale followed and the nose pressed further into his neck as the body next to him relaxed.Yoongi sat there for a while watching Tae sleep peacefully next to him. He must have stayed up late helping Jungkook with his homework and unlike the alpha, Tae was bad at falling asleep. Not only that but he was bad at functioning on low sleep so the omega sighed and reached over carefully not to wake the other up and grabbed Tae’s phone so he could call Namjoon to come pick them both up. Tae would just have to make up for the day's classes some other time.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
They get home and Namjoon takes Taehyung up to bed while he is still knocked out and Yoongi can’t help but notice how they all smell like one another and that makes him nervous, embarrassed, and kind of happy. Everyone else has already left for work or college so the three of them are left alone at the house. Namjoon lays the beta in his bed and covers him up while Yoongi watches from the doorway. The two leave the room and Namjoon looks down at Yoongi with a small smile. “Want to hang out with me for a bit hyung? I have to leave for work in about two hours and I won’t be home until dinner tonight.” the alpha said and Yoongi simply nodded in response. The omega followed him back to his room where he walked towards his computer and started to pull things up and grabbed his headphones before looking at Yoongi and placing them back down. The omega guessed he was going to work on his music and simply wanted company while he worked. “You can use the laptop if you’d like.” he said before sitting at his seat and pointing to a laptop on his bed. The omega walked toward the bed and sat down as he opened the laptop, he remember fiddling with a compter when he was younger so he knew how it works even if it looked a bit different. He pulled up the internet and pondered a bit before he remembered he wanted to look up the job of a pack omega. So the omega typed into the search bar ‘What is a pack omega?” and watched as the page loaded shortly before different websites popped up. Yoongi picked the first one and scrolled down to find where the answer was to his question in the paragraphs. A pack omega is the lead omega of the pack, normally mated to the alpha of the pack but not always. They watch over the other omegas and over any pups that are born in the pack weather it is their own or not. Though generally all omegas watch over the pups of the pack the pack omega has more authority. Though this may differ from pack to pack as mentioned later on in the passage. Other than watching over the other omegas and the pups they are also in charge of keeping the mental and emotional health of the pack in check. They are expected to calm alphas, betas, and omegas a like and make the other feel safe. Normally this is done with skinship and scenting or at least releasing calming scents. Though this is a general view on pack omegas it can differ from pack to pack. Still today omegas don’t have many rights so they are often forced or told to do other things on top of their normal job. In some packs the cleaning is broken up between everyone and in others only the omegas do house chores. The white-haired omega stopped reading when he heard a angry growl come from across the room. Gray eyes fell on Namjoons tense form and he stood up before carefully walking to his side. “What’s the matter?” he asked softly as he got up and walked to Namjoon so he could to look over his shoulder, he remembered what he just read. So the omega swallowed his nerves and decided to try it out again, like how he calmed him down in the car earlier. So his hand reached out and fell on the other shoulders before he gave a small squeeze and looked down at Namjoon in the seat. The alpha seemed to relax into the touch after the small shock of a hand coming down on his shoulder. “I can’t seem to hear what’s missing.” the alpha spoke with a hint of annoyance at his task but wasn’t angry anymore. Yoongi had forgot the sound of music that had been playing around them until Namjoon had stopped messing with his laptop. “Can I hear it?” he asked softly, ready to back away if he wasn’t comfortable with that. The alpha looked up at him then but just nodded and went back to the computer to restart the song. Yoongi couldn’t help but smile a bit as the music filled the room. He bobbed his head to the instrumentals and then Namjoons soothing voice came out over top of the music and Yoongi was lost. He was lost in a sea of words that spoke to him in ways he didn’t know were possible. Namjoon’s voice came out smooth and exact like he knew what he was saying and how to say it. His words guided Yoongi through a story and feels that resonated with his soul. He didn’t know how much time had passed but soon the music came to a close. Yoongi had been staring at the monitor and once the music stopped he blinked a few times. He could feel a gaze on him and he looked down at Namjoon who was staring up at him. “That was beautiful.” Was all Yoongi found himself saying and he cleared his throat before speaking again. “ During the chorus maybe add an echo or an underlining voice just above the music itself.” He said softly and it seemed to have snapped something in Namjoon. Quickly the chair moved to face the monitor again and he began messing with the piece. Yoongi watched him not knowing what was happening and then he opened another program before clearing his throat before rapping another line into the mic that hung to his right. Yoongi watched him work and no words passed between the two as the one worked on the song. Soon an alarm went off and Namjoon sighed before looking at his phone and pushing the chair back. Yoongi almost got knocked over but he back peddled enough to avoid the fall. “I got to leave and head out to work, or I’ll be late. Thank you for helping me hyung!” He smiled widely and his dimples showed themselves. Next thing he knew Namjoon reached a hand out and rubbed his wrist softly against his neck scent gland. Yoongi stiffened a bit and Namjoon looked a bit shocked like he was shocked at his own actions. It took him a second to realize that Namjoon was scent marking him. A pack usually scent marked new members the first day and then continued to do so every couple of days or some time everyday. It was how you could tell if someone was in a pack. On one hand he was shocked it took this long and on the other he was shocked he did it. Though it looked like Namjoon was just as shocked by himself. The alpha pulled his wrist away and looked down a bit shy. “Sorry hyung I should have asked.” He coughed a bit and Yoongi found himself trying to stutter out an answer. “O-oh i-it’s okay. I don’t mind.” He finally got out. Then another dimpled smile was directed at him “Okay I’m glad. I really gotta go through.” He said a little urgently and ran out of the room. “ You can stay here and use my computer if you want.” The alpha called behind him before exiting the house. Yoongi listened to the door slam behind the taller man and then looked back at the laptop on the bed. He walked back over to the bed and sat before picking up the laptop and searched some other things related to packs and omegas. At some point the omega had dozed off in the alpha’s bed. He couldn’t help it the scent lured him to sleep. It was that of his pack alpha after all and it relaxed him. Though honestly the scent of most of his new pack mates were starting to relax him. He was shaken lightly and he quickly came back to the real world as he shook his dream one away. He looked around the room slowly until his eyes fell on Jin’s. Quickly the omega shot up and the laptop fell off his lap and onto the other side of the bed. “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep in his bed. N-nothing happened I swear!” He practically yelled at the eldest. Jin looked at him for a long moment and then his eyes fell onto his neck. “You smell like Joonie.” He said even toned and Yoongi started to feel nauseous. “H-he scent marked me! Nothing happened I swear on my life!” He said loudly again and then Jin broke out into a laugh. He folded forward and laughed in on himself and Yoongi felt his body sag. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help it! It was too funny! Besides Namjoon puts the L in loyal!” He reached forward and patted him lovely. “You let him scent mark you? Can I? I’ve been dying to do so since I first saw you beside Namjoon.” A blush found its way onto his face and he nodded his head. The hand on his shoulder moved to his neck as he rubbed his wrist along his gland. Yoongi felt like shying away from him but held himself still until the elder was done and pulled away. “You slept most of the day. People are coming home so I’m going to be starting dinner soon. What to help hyung?” He asked with a smile and reached over to close the laptop before picking it up and placing it on the side table. “Sure hyung. I don’t know much about cooking but I’ll help where I can.” He said softly as he tried to his the blush on his face. He now smelled like Namjoon and Jin on top of himself. He also figured it was about time to relax with his scent. It was very calming and it would ease the tension around the pack and the stress of the day if he let the others smell it on him. So the soft smell of mint had filled the room during his slumber. The two left the room and made their way to the kitchen. Jin had begun to pull out bowls and pots it seemed so he finished that before opening the fridge. “I’m going to be making bibimbap.” A small nod left the omega and he listened to Jin as he told him what to do. The time passed quickly and he didn’t realize they had attracted an audience. Yoongi was too interested in watching Jin cook so that he could learn that he didn’t realize. When Yoongi turned around to look at the island he saw the small group and a blush covered his face as he shrunk back a bit. Jin seemed to notice and turned to look at them and frowned. “Alright you vultures! Go set the table!” He waves at them and then turned back to take the pan off the stove. When they got up and left a small smile fell on his lips before looking at Yoongi. “Help me bring it out to the table.” He said and Yoongi nodded still with a blush. They walked towards the table and began placing things down on the table. No one seemed to have sit yet and everyone was looking at Yoongi. “W-what?” He questioned a bit scared and Taehyung spoke up first. “You let those two scent you. I was wondering if the rest of us could?” He asked softly and he had been pointing at Namjoon and Jin before dropping his hands. Yoongi’s eyes flicked over to Jungkook who was behind Taehyung with a hand on his shoulder. He looked a tad annoyed but seemed to be agreeing with Taehyung. It must bother him that he was in their house and living with them without smelling like them. “I g-guess so.” Yoongi said a bit uncomfortably but he swallowed it down. After all he already told himself he wanted to be a part of this pack and wanted to do his part. He can’t be a part of the pack if he doesn’t smell like them. Taehyung seemed to be excited as he pulled from Jungkook and Yoongi could see him grimace at the lose. Tae came over and rubbed his wrist against his scent gland and then pulled him into a hug before leaving him. He bounded over to his seat at the table with a wide boxy smile. Then Jungkook came over and quickly rubbed the gland before leaving and taking a seat. Lastly Hoseok came over and hesitated before reaching one hand around to grip his neck and use this other hand to rub his wrist against his scent gland. The hand on his neck made him stiffen a bit before he relaxed. For some reason he was the only one that he didn’t feel like he needed to pull away. Soon his touch was gone and everyone was taking or already had taken a seat at the table. Now covered in a deep blush he took his seat and dinner began.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Another week had passed and Yoongi was finding himself talking and spending more time with the others. When the omega wasn’t helping Tae learn piano or taking classes they went out to the mall and close restaurants. Yoongi was given some money to spend but he ended up just saving it and just window shopping while Tae bought things. They would come home with bags of clothes that Tae had bought and Jin would lecture him once he got home not to waste so much money on clothes. Only three people in the pack of six worked and luckily Jin was a doctor. Not that the other jobs were bad but Jin was the breadwinner in the pack. From what Yoongi could see the pack wasn’t tight on money but they tend to live below their budget when Tae doesn’t try to spend it all. Lately the pack has been a bit off because Jin has been working longer nights and doesn’t come home until the morning. He told the pack that a member of the clinics staff was sick and another was out on maternity leave so he was doing overtime. It meant more money but it also meant he wasn’t home for pack dinner and he usually made it. So Yoongi and Tae tried their best to pick up the slack. It was a Thursday night when everyone came home but Jin and Jungkook. The youngest had texted the pack saying he had to stay late at the library to study for his upcoming test. Namjoon said it wasn’t out of the usual so Yoongi didn’t worry about him. Though that night the two other alpha’s seemed starved so there were no left overs. Once the meal was over everyone when their separate ways and that included Yoongi. The omega had gone to his room and pulled out the new phone Jin and Namjoon had got him. They told him he would need one in case of emergencies or to get a hold of them. So Yoongi sat on his bed typing in the name and numbers of his pack. Jin had given him everyone’s number when he got the phone. Yoongi spend some time figuring out how to use it and reading the manual when he heard the front door open. Yoongi instantly perked up and looked towards his door as if someone would enter. He looked back down at his phone to check the time and he read 12:45 pm and he frowned. Jungkook was coming home really late, after all Jin hasn’t been getting home until 6:00 am. He got up from his bed and walked towards his door and cracked it open. Once the door was open a strong smell of exhaustion made its way down the hall mixed with the usual smell of moss and earth. From here Yoongi could see Jungkook looking through the fridge for something to eat and it made the omega feel a bit guilty. After all him and Tae hadn’t made enough for everyone. Stepping out of the entryway of his room he made his way to the kitchen. Jungkook either didn’t care or was too tired and hungry to take notice of his arrival. So the omega cleared his throat and the alpha jumped before snapping his head to look at Yoongi. “There isn’t any left over….” a small pause followed as Yoongi thought for a second before smiling softly at the alpha. “We could go out and get food. I know a place that’s open this late.” He suggested and again the alpha must have been to tired or hungry to refuse. After all it seemed like the other couldn’t stand the omega. “Sure.” Was all he said and Yoongi quickly ran back to his room to grab his phone and a coat. He didn’t want the other to change his mind so he made it quick. Coming back into the kitchen he saw Jungkook was already waiting with his shoes back on and Yoongi followed suit. They left the house as he texted the others that he was going out with Jungkook and would be back. He silently hoped he didn’t wake anyone up. Then he lead the alpha down the street and made a few turns before come up on a lamb skewer place. The omega had remembered how much he loved them as a kid so he hoped he still did. The omega lead him into the place he had found during the week. He was glad he had because now he had a chance to bond with the alpha. The place was open 24 because during the night it was also a bar. They were sat and then ordered shortly after, Yoongi couldn’t help but be a little excited. “I’m glad you said yes. Jin hasn’t got a chance to go shopping with his hours and Namjoon hasn’t had the time to take me. So let hyung pay.” He smiled over at the alpha. Honestly he was a bit nervous talking and being a lone with the alpha. I mean he was a bit scared after all the alpha was very fit. Over the last two weeks he has seen the male shirtless a few times. It seemed no one comes out of the bathroom fully clothes already after a shower. Though he was also nervous about making a fool of himself in front of the other and having him hate him more. “Really?” The alpha asked softly and Yoongi snapped his head up at the tone. It wasn’t his usual cold tone he used towards him and he had the omega at a loss for words. “Y-yea. I mean you didn’t eat right? That’s why you came home and instantly looked for food in the fridge.” He said after he found his voice and Jungkook looked down at the table making it so the other couldn’t see his face. Moments later the waitress came back with the food and only put it in front of Jungkook. This made the alpha look up and at Yoongi as she disappeared. “Didn’t you get anything?” He asked and Yoongi could see the dip in his brows from confusion. “Ahh I already ate so I’m not hungry.” The omega smiled sheepishly as he scratched the back of his neck like he had been caught lying. “Then why did you bring me here to eat if you weren’t going to eat with me? I could have found something at home.” He said confusion still written on his face. “Well I’m going to eat here at some point just not tonight I’m not hungry. Also I brought you here because cup ramen isn’t healthy Jungkook. You should have a good and hot meal.” He lectured the youngest and he seemed to straighten at his words. Yoongi stiffened a bit in worry. Great he had messed up. “If you say so hyung.” The other said softly as he looked down at his plate and picked up a skewer. Yoongi’s chest warmed as his words hit him. A sense of giddiness and pride swarmed his chest. Jungkook had called him hyung. He hadn’t messed up. A small smile spread over his face and he could tell his gums were showing. He was snapped out of his happy party when a stick with a small piece of meat was pointed at his face. He looked up at Jungkook and he was smirking at the omega. “You should at least try it. It’s really good hyung.” Yoongi didn’t need to be told twice as he leaned forward and took the bite size meat off the stick and chewed. Jungkook had been right the lamb was amazing here and he almost wished he didn’t eat dinner. Yoongi had gotten a glass of water and nursed it as he let Jungkook eat happily and he could tell the other was relaxing. It probably also helped the omega wasn’t hiding his scent any longer and he smelled like the pack. It put the alpha at ease and made him feel there wasn’t an intruder in the house. Jungkook finished and while Yoongi was paying at the counter he felt a body drape themselves over him. A head laid against his neck on his right and a wrist rubbed against his left side. A blush formed on his neck and traveled up to his face. The women only smiled at them and handed Yoongi the change. He was glad he decided to save his money and not spend it. He would have missed out on this moment to bond with Jungkook. They walked back to the house and Yoongi had noticed the other was walking closer to him than before. A small smile found its way to his face as they entered the house. They kicked off their shoes and walked towards their rooms. Yoongi was about to shut the door when he heard the alpha. “Thanks for dinner hyung.” He said softly before turning back to his room and closing the door. Yoongi found himself looking at the closed door and smiled to himself again. He was finally starting to be fully accepted into the pack and he couldn’t help but feel excited about it. ————-He slept well that night but was woken with a hand on his shoulder shaking him awake. The omega groaned and flipped on his side to hide himself into his blankets. He thought the person left but he felt the side of his mattress dip and hands wrap around his side. The omega stiffened and his eyes snapped open. He now found himself fully awake and alarmed until he sniffed the air. The smell of herbs mixed with mint and he relaxed again. “Why are you in my bed Kim Taehyung?” He asked with a bit of bite but the other seemed to ignore his tone. “Aww hyung don’t be mean to me! I wanted to know what happened last night?!” He spoke excitedly in his ear and goosebumps rose on his arm. His breath had moved across his neck and along his jaw. “What are you talking about?” He questioned as he tried to wiggle away from him but the arm pulled him in closer. “Jungkook seems happy this morning and was talking about lamb skewers.” The other hummed and it was like everything clicked into place. “I-I…He came home late and there were no leftovers. I didn’t want him to starve!” He defended himself loudly as he wiggles away harder and moved to look at Taehyung. “Oh oh? What’s this? Should I be worried?” He asked with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face. He knew the other was teasing him but he couldn’t help but let the blush crawl across his face. “It’s not like that and you know it!” He argued as he found himself pouting a bit and Taehyung broke out into a laugh that filled the room. No doubt the others could hear him from the kitchen. “I’m guessing breakfast is ready?” He asked frowning at the other. “Yep and Jin made it!” He said excitedly. Jin must have made it so they could all eat together before he went to bed. The beta waited for him while he showered and changed quickly before they both went to the kitchen. Once in the kitchen everyone seemed to look at them and he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “Thank you for texting us where you went even if it was with another member. It’s nice in case something happens to you.” A smiling Jin said as he placed down some pancakes on the table. “So how did it go?” Namjoon asked with a dimpled smile as he looked from Jungkook to Yoongi. The two then looked at each other and Jungkook smiled before looking at Namjoon. “It was good. Maybe we can go get lamb skewers again sometime hyung.” He smiled at the omega and took a seat. Today was going to be a long day.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
It had been a few days before Taehyung would leave Yoongi alone about his ‘date’ with Jungkook. He knew the other was teasing him but he couldn’t help but sense a bit of jealousy from the beta. So Yoongi had mentioned it and Taehyung shut up real fast about the ‘date’ and the omega couldn’t help but find himself laughing at Tae. Things seemed to fall into a comfortable normal and Jungkook didn’t flee the room when Yoongi entered anymore. Also, the pack started to show more skinship towards him, they probably thought they were being subtle. Jin and Namjoon were the same in their affection towards the omega, they would give shoulder pats or place their hands on his back. The small difference is that Jin would also mess up his hair and the only reason Namjoon didn’t do that was because he was older than the pack alpha. Hoseok would place his hand at the base of his neck and sometimes massage the skin above his shirt in comfort. Jungkook was a bit like Tae in his showing of affection and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel a bit shocked each time. The youngest alpha would throw his arms over his shoulders and lounge against his back or just hang on him without saying a word. He noticed the other would do this a lot if he was having a bad day. He figured the smell of his omega calmed his nerves. Lastly, Taehyung didn’t change at all he still threw himself at Yoongi and half the time the shorter male would almost fall. Another thing that started was in the morning sometimes a member of the pack would come in early to scent him and say goodbye before leaving if they had to go before breakfast. Normally Yoongi would have hated being woken up so early for something so stupid in the past but now...he loved it. He knew where everyone was going and didn’t have to wonder where a member was if they had left before breakfast. Plus he got scented and that by itself made his omega squeal in delight. So when he heard his door being pushed open he wasn’t too alarmed he just stayed on his side as he took in a deep breath. The smell of vanilla filled his nose and he smiled softly to himself as he turned his face to put it into his pillow. He couldn’t help but feel a bit shy around the other and Yoongi wasn’t completely sure why. Sure he thought he was attractive but all of his pack members were. He loved the smell of the male but it was because it reminded him of candles from his childhood. He had a great body that he saw totally on accident but so did Jungkook. So why was it that he wanted to shy away from the alpha but also pull him into a deep hug and nuzzle against his neck. He could feel his face heat up as he thought about it he had almost forgotten why he started this thought process, to begin with. Next thing he knew a hand reached out and took a few white locks between their fingers. The touch was gentle and if Yoongi had been sleeping he doubts he would have woken up. Yoongi suppressed a shiver as he rolled over to look up at Hoseok with sleepy eyes. The orange-haired alpha was sitting on the edge of the bed reaching over to touch his hair. He smiled warmly at the omega and Yoongi returned it with a small gummy smile. “Leaving early Hoseok?” he asked in a gruff voice, sleep still clung to his vocal cords. Hoseok’s hand stilled in his hair when he spoke and the smile fell a bit and Yoongi feared he said something wrong. Before he could take anything back or apologize he spoke up. “Yea, I wanted to say goodbye first. I’m sorry to wake you up at 4 am,” he spoke softly as the smile came back full force. Yoongi couldn’t help the urge to calm his fear of bothering the omega. “No, it’s okay. I like when you all keep me informed.” he knew that they all had phones now so they could just text him but he liked the small moments he got with them all in times like this. The hand continued to massage his scalp as he smoothed his hands through Yoongi’s hair. The action seemed to mesmerize him and the omega found himself relaxing further into his bed. “I will be back around...” The alpha stopped talking for a second and Yoongi raised an eyebrow in question. Something must have come to mind because the alpha looked a bit excited as he spoke up again. “Or you could come with me. I could show you the studio, how I dance. Then after I can show you some of the best coffee you could ever taste.” he smiled and it was so bright the omega thought he would go blind. How could he deny him? “I’d like that,” he said as he yawned trying to shake his sleepiness. His eyes fall back open when he feels the hand in his hair shift and run through it a few more times. The hand from his hair slid down his face, pass his jawline and down to his neck. The feeling set his skin on fire as he could feel the warmth of Hoseok’s hands travel a path down his face and neck. The omegas breath hitched and he saw Hoseok’s eyes change when it did. The warmth filled chocolate colored eyes changed to one of many mixed emotions. Yoongi felt like he saw a few not so innocent ones but told himself he was imagining it. After all, he had just woken up. “Good. I’ll leave you to get ready while I change.” the other male said softly but a bit more husky than moments before and Yoongi could only nod in response as Hoseok got up and exited his room. Yoongi let out a breath he didn’t even know he had been holding. Throwing the blankets back he crawled out of bed and pulled on a loose white shirt and ripped blue jeans before grabbing his black combat boots. Lastly, he grabbed his black face mask and pulled it on as he placed his phone in his back pocket and left his room. The white-haired omega placed his shoes down in the entryway of the house and began slipping them on. He heard footsteps coming towards him and figured it was Hoseok so he didn’t bother looking up. When he finished tying his shoes he finally did look up and the omega had been right. The man before him was wearing black joggers and a white long sleeve t-shirt, he must have put on black sneakers while he wasn’t looking. Hoseok gave him another bright smile as he extended his arm in a bent manner and it took a second to recognize what he wanted. The omega hesitantly wrapped his arm around Hoseok’s and they set off for the dance studio. They had walked all the way there arm and arm, Yoongi was glad he had a mask that covered half of his face. After all how else was he suppose to hide all of his blushing? ----------- They arrived at the studio shortly after and on the way there Yoongi had sent the rest of the pack a text telling them that he was with Hoseok at the studio. Jin replied with a thumbs up before he could even lock his phone which made him smile. The outside of the studio was nice it had a single door entry with flower beds on each side filled with some flower and planets. Large windows on both sides of the door with tan paneling and a matching roof a few shades darker. It was cute and that continued on the inside as they enter. They moved into the main floor and mirrors lined the walls and where there wasn’t mirrors there were drawings and words written almost in graffiti and other cool fonts. The inside was welcoming, hop, young, and interesting. There was no wall that looked like the next and he found himself taking in each piece of art while Hoseok moved around him. He was picking up stray rags and a bag someone must have left the day before. Yoongi turned his eyes back to him and smiled as he watched the alpha work. After cleaning the big items off the floor he grabbed the broom and dustpan as he swept. When the taller man deemed it clean he walked to the door and flipped the sign so it read ‘Open’ on the outside. “I teach a few classes all varying in age but today is the young adults. Most of these students are between 16 and 26,” he said as he placed a clipboard by the entrance where a table sat. Yoongi wondered about it shortly before Hoseok stepped closer to him. “‘Are you excited? Maybe you can try doing our routine.” he smiled at the eldest of the two and Yoongi found himself laughing. He placed a hand over his mouth as he laughed even though his mask covered the bottom half of his face. “Hoseok I can not dance! I didn’t know how to before and I definitely don’t know how too now.” this seemed to upset the alpha a bit because his smile fell a bit. Yoongi stopped laughing as he watched the alpha and smiled kindly. “I have no problem watching you dance and teach.” his gummy smile showed a bit as he talked to Hoseok and it seemed to make him lighten up again. Maybe Yoongi wasn’t completely horrible at this pack omega thing. “If you are going to be watching me then I better aim to impress,” he smirked down at the white-haired man. This time it was Yoongi who lost the smile even if no one could see under his mask. A deep blush crawled up his neck and bloomed onto his face and ears. Half of his face was covered but no doubt the other could see the rest of his face, neck, and ears. Just then some talking and footsteps sounded behind them as the door opened and people flooded in. Hoseok turned around to look at the people who entered and smiles as he left to greet them. He then saw the others writing on the clipboard and nodded in understanding, they must be checking into the class. “Who’s this Hoseok?” a female voice asked and Yoongi looked up and over at the owner only to be shocked still. A female omega was wrapped around Hoseok’s arm and hanging on him as she looked up at the orange-haired man to ask her question. Hoseok seemed unfazed and Yoongi’s mind, body, and omega seemed to agree about ripping her off and taking her place. He calmed his nerves as Hoseok seemed to look up and over at him. “Oh him! That is Yoongi hyung. He is just a part of my pack.” just like that he felt like his day was ruined. ‘Just a part of my pack’? Was that all he thought of him? Why did Yoongi care so much if that was all he thought of him. Yoongi found himself moving before he could think about it and he was now standing in between the alpha and the omega. She seemed a bit shocked but soon retracted her hands. He wasn’t sure why he did so but then he gave her a sweet smile as he pulled down the mask to rest under his chin. “Min Yoongi.” he introduced and it seemed to make the female a bit angry as she stepped forwards towards him and Hoseok had to stop before a fight broke out. “How about we dance,” he said loudly and grabbed Yoongi’s shoulder and lead him over to the chairs to the right. He pushed him back into s seat and looked him deep in the eyes. “Are you okay hyung?” he asked softly but still had a smirk on his lips “Yes, of course.” the omega said instantly and glared behind the orange-haired man to glare at the blonde female. Before he could move or say something a wrist was up against his neck rubbing against his gland and he couldn’t help but relax and look up at Hoseok again. It smelt so nice it was calming down. A bit of time passed as he watched the other dance to the music like he was meant to do so.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Thank you all for coming! I’ll see you next week!” The energetic orange-haired alpha said. The room was filled with panting and smelled of sweat but Yoongi didn’t seem to mind. He told himself it had nothing to do with that fact vanilla swirled in the room in thick waves.“Ready to go?” A voice asked and Yoongi hadn’t noticed he was spacing out. He looked up from his seat in the corner and met deep brown eyes and a smile that seemed to charge his battery. He couldn’t help but feel some of the energy that came off the other when he smiled at Yoongi like that. He was still wearing the same joggers but he had thrown a sweater over top of his long sleeve shirt from before. Yoongi noticed it was the one he had got Namjoon’s blood on weeks ago. It looked nice on him, he filled out the sweater like it was hand tailored for him.“Yea I-“ He was cut off by another voice and instantly Yoongi’s invisible hackles rose at the unwelcoming scent filled his nose and he looked over to the unwelcomed party. The female omega from before was in front of them and he tried his best to hold back his emotions. “Class was great hyung! I was wondering if he could hang out today!” she asked excitedly and Yoongi stepped forward in front of her view of the alpha. “It’s rude to cut people off, especially in a conversation you weren’t even in. Secondly he will be with me today.” he all but growled out before taking the alpha’s hand and walking him towards the exit. As they walked an alpha came into view and Hoseok spoke to him while Yoongi didn’t slow down.“Kai look after the studio for me!” he called happily as he was pulled past the other alpha and out the door. Yoongi stopped once they were out on the sidewalk and looked up at Hoseok. After all he didn’t know where the cafe was that they were headed too. Though before he could ask Hoseok spoke up. “Were you jealous hyung?” he asked and that snapped Yoongi’s attention from their plans and back to the present. “What?! Of course I wasn’t jealous!” he said louder than what was necessary.”I just don’t like it when you smell like people who aren't pack!” he added and then immediately regretted it. “Ohh ohhh is that so!” he laughed and Yoongi was about to smack his arm but the alpha began to run away from him. Feeling like he still needed to defend himself he took chase as Hoseok started laughing at him. “Hyung was jealous, hyung was jealous!” he called over and over from over his shoulder. “Hey! I feel the same way if it was Jungkook!” he called as he lowered his head to watch his feet. Honestly he was getting bit tired he never really ran and he didn’t want to trip. Next thing he knew his front connected with someone’s front. He was about to fall backwards from the impact but an arm quickly wrapped around his waist and pulled him chest to chest with another. The smell of vanilla filled his nose and he knew he shouldn’t be worried. “You would be jealous with Jungkook?” he asked and Yoongi couldn’t help but not understand him. After all he was pressed chest to chest with the alpha. Not only that he has seen him shirtless and knew exactly what was pressed against him. Heat rose to his cheeks. “W-what?” was all he could get out, he didn’t quite understand what he was asking. He saw brown eyes searching his face like it would hold the answer for him as he asked again. “Would you do this with Jungkook?” he asked seriously and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel hot all over by their position and his question.“No not like this. He is a baby.” he mumbled and it seemed to please the alpha because he came forward and pressed his neck against Yoongi’s. He could feel the base of their necks rub together and it was then that he realized the alpha was rubbing their scent glands together. This was something only courting and mated pairs do. Yoongi didn’t move, he didn’t swallow, and he didn’t breath. He was scared he would spook the alpha out of his primal state. He realized that when he ran into the other he wasn’t talking to Hoseok but Hoseok’s alpha. All primal and instinct, the thought made him lean his head to the side to allow better access. A rumble left Hoseok’s throat and he could feel the vibration against his skin.The omega took in a sharp breath at the sound and wrapped his hand in the fabric of the other’s shirt. They were brought out of their moment when a woman past and coughed loudly in anger. After all, they were scenting rather intimately in the streets. Hoseok let him go quickly and backed away with a deep blush covering his usually honey-colored skinYoongi honestly was much better off and was more notable with his blushing because he was so pale. Yoongi stuffed his hands back into his pocket and looked away from the alpha.“I’m so sorry. I don’t normally let my al-“ Yoongi cut him off before he could finish. He didn’t want there to be any misunderstanding.“I don’t mind. It was nice.” He started off strong but soon it became a whisper. At that moment he couldn’t deny that he had feelings for Hoseok. That emotion he was trying to hide and deny was so bright and blinding now that he couldn’t pretend he didn’t like the other even if he wanted too. “R-really? I know I can come off really strong when I-“ again Yoongi cut him off so that he didn’t feel bad about what just happened.“No, it was nice. I wasn’t scared or anything.” He added as he looked over at Hoseok who was still blushing like a madman. The man before him was nothing like the other alphas he knew or the two from the shelter. Hoseok was different, he didn’t feel pressured or trapped with the orange-haired alpha.“Well then let’s go and get that coffee.” He laughed excitedly and he walked forward and grabbed the omegas hand. His hand slid into his and their fingers wrapped around one another like they were molded for each other.“Okay.” Yoongi blushed deeply as he curled his fingers around the back of Hoseok’s palm. Hoseok smiled down at the omega as he led him down the street to the coffee shop.——-They got to the coffee shop shortly after their who public show of affection event and it was busy. People filled the cafe and a lot of others waited in line to get their cup before either leaving or having a seat.The waited for a bit before finally, they got to the counter and Hoseok ordered for them. After all, Yoongi wasn’t sure what he would get, he’s never really had coffee before. So the omega spaced out a bit as he looked around the cafe at all the different people and dynamics. A small tug pulled him out of his thoughts as he looked down at their still joined hands before looking up at the alpha.“We need to wait at the other end of the counter.” he smiled down at the omega and he nodded in response. Hoseok led them away from the register and to the other end of the counter. “So I never got to ask you. How did you like the dance?” the other asked as he leaned against the counter and looked at the white-haired omega.“I thought it was really good. Though I know nothing about dance so it could have been a train wreck.” he laughed when Hoseok looked offended.“You think I would teach a group something less than perfect? Or that people would actually dance my choreography if it sucked?” he asked still offended as he touched his free hand to his chest in hurt.“Wait you choreographed that?” Yoongi asked a bit shocked and Hoseok raised an eyebrow at him before answering him.“Of course I am a dance teacher,” he said as he held back a laugh, though a few chuckles came through.“In that case it was perfect.” the omega said as a blush came across his checks. He looked down at the ground just as a number was called. It must have been theirs because Hoseok moved away and dropped his hands to grab two cups.“Hold the door for me?” he asked and Yoongi looked back up and smiled at him before running towards the exit and holding it for Hoseok.“Such a gentleman.” he laughed as he passed through the doorway. “Let's go hyung!” he smiled back at him and Yoongi was quick to follow after him.At the corner of the street, Hoseok stopped and turned towards Yoongi so he could hand him his drink. Right as he was about to pass the cup another man bumped into Hoseok rather hard and sent his arm out. Hoseok ended up splashing Yoongi with about half of the drink and the alpha whipped around to glare at the man.“Hey, watch where you are going!” he barked at the man as he stood up straight and scoffed before walking off. The alpha turned back to the omega and frowned. “I’m so sorry hyung. Here let's change your shirt. I’m sorry but your shirt is probably going to stain.” he addedYoongi looked down at his now brown stained white shirt and sighed. This is why I can’t have nice things. Before he knew it he was being tugged into the closest building with Hoseok leading him.“Where is your bathroom?” he asked and Yoongi watched as the stranger pointed to the back of the store. He noticed that they had been pushed into a candle store and he absently wondered if they had vanilla scented ones.“Here hyung change into this,” Hoseok said as he pulled his sweater up and over his head before putting it into Yoongi’s arms and pushing him towards a stall. The omega did as told and locked the door before taking off his top and putting on Hoseok’s sweater.Once on the omega couldn’t help gripping the collar and bringing it to his nose. A strong vanilla scent clung to the fabric and Yoongi breathed in a few times before letting go. He folded his stained shirt before unlocking the door and finding Hoseok waiting outside. As soon as he saw the omega he could see a hidden emotion pass through his eyes. A smile spread across his face as he moved forward to meet Yoongi halfway.“Ready to go home?” the alpha asked and Yoongi just nodded as he wrapped his fingers around the edge of the gray sweater. “It looks nice on you,” he added as he leaned a bit closer and grabbed his stained shirt so the omega didn’t have to hold it.Hoseok grabbed his hand softly and led them out of the store and back into the streets. It wasn’t hard to forget about the candle when you had your own personal vanilla scented candle. The alpha did have a way to brighten a room and Yoongi couldn’t help but smile to himself. He didn’t feel like he was in the dark anymore after all the silence was fine it was the darkness that scared him.“Do you want a drink?” Hoseok asked and Yoongi snapped out of his thoughts to look at the cup extended to him from his left. Yoongi took the cup and took a sip before taking a bigger drink of the coffee. It tasted like normal coffee but had sugar and french vanilla creamer in it. Of course. Was all Yoongi could think.A hand wrapped around the cup in his and he looked over at Hoseok questioningly until he raised it still in Yoongi’s hand to his lips. The alpha took a big gulp of the coffee as the omega’s face heated up. This was like an indirect kiss! Yoongi couldn’t help but watch in shock even when his hand was lowered and Hoseok smiled brightly at him.“That’s how I like my coffee so I hope you think it’s okay. The Green Stag makes the best coffee!” Hoseok explains as they walk hand in hand through the streets.Then Yoongi noticed something a bit ahead of them, it looked like a park. Yoongi couldn’t help but get excited about it. They must have been going home another way because Yoongi hadn’t seen it before.“Hoseok can we sit in the park for a bit?” he asked as he pointed with his cup hand. Hoseok followed his gaze and smiled before nodding and leading them over to the closest bench. Yoongi took a seat next to Hoseok as they both sipped the coffee in Yoongi’s hand. It was still nice outside so he didn’t have to worry about getting too hot or cold. Plus he had the smell of vanilla surrounding him and a warm hand in his.---------Time seemed to pass quickly on that bench and soon the sky began to grow dark. The two had been talking about random things but Hoseok talked the most out of the two though Yoongi didn’t mind. At times like this, he felt like his time in isolation showed because he wasn’t the best at talking with others.“Looks like it’s time to head home. By the time he gets home it will be dark.” the alpha said as he stood up and lightly pulled Yoongi with him who let him. They smiled softly as they began to make the journey back home.The walk itself only took about 20 minutes from where they were at the park but it seemed to go by quicker as the two continued to talk. They slowly began approaching the house and Yoongi could tell something was off. This put the omega on edge as he looked around the streets and in the yards of their neighbors. Hoseok didn’t really seem to notice as he talked on still hand and hand with the omega.Then Yoongi spotted it. Across the street, from their house, there was a small group of three waiting. The three men watched them as they walked towards the house and Yoongi couldn’t help but find himself slowing. Hoseok noticed and stopped to look back at the omega with concern.“Hoseok there are men,” he said softly as he didn’t look away from them. He was scared he was either delusional or that they would move if he looked away. Hoseok followed his eyes across the street and immediately he changed from relaxed to defensive.“Yoongi go in the house and don’t come out. I’ll talk with them,” he said calmly as he side-eyed the omega. The alpha stepped in front of him and pushed him closer to the house before he began to cross the street. Yoongi watched their eyes follow the alpha and that was when Yoongi ran. He darted into the house and locked the doors and windows before looking around for a weapon. He couldn’t just leave Hoseok out there with three men that could beat him up and leave him for dead.It took him about 15 minutes to find the gun hidden in Namjoon’s closet and as he came back into the living space Hoseok was walking in the house with his house keys still drawn. He shut the door behind him and Yoongi placed the gun on the counter before rushing to Hoseok’s side. The alpha had a busted lip and his nose was bleeding and it seemed he was favoring his left leg.“What the hell happened?” Yoongi asked both in shock and horror. The omega helped him to the island where he sat him down before running to the sink. He got a rag damp before turning back to the other and cleaning the blood. A hand came up to stop him and Yoongi saw he had some blood on his knuckles. Yoongi swatted the hand away carefully as he began to clean his packmate.“You could have got hurt what were you thinking!” he asked harshly as he wiped the blood from his lip and nose. He sighed to himself in relief when he noticed the alpha wasn’t bleeding much if at all anymore. The alpha was being quiet and wasn’t answering him and to be honest it was pissing the omega off more. “Hoseok!” he growled and that seemed to get a reaction.“I didn’t want you to get hurt. I had to separate you from the situation and see what they want so that they wouldn’t come back,” he answered and Yoongi halted in his cleaning.The alpha below him had put himself in harm's way so that he could keep him safe and faced them alone so that he knew that they wouldn’t come back and hurt the pack. Emotions pooled him Yoongi’s gut and he was moving before he knew what he was doing.The omega leaned forward and locked lips with the hurt alpha. His hand moved up and wrapped around Hoseok’s neck so that he could deepen the kiss. For a second Hoseok did nothing and Yoongi was going to pull away until a hand wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer. After that, the alpha took over and stood from his seat so that he could push the smaller male against the island countertop. Yoongi was pinned but he didn’t feel trapped as the alpha leaned over him and returned the kiss tenfold.They had to break for air so Yoongi pulled his face away and Hoseok tried to follow but then he heard his labored breaths. A smirk spread over the alpha’s face before he leaned down and pressed kisses into Yoongi’s neck. The omega gasped at the feeling and leaned back on his elbow so that the alpha could have more access.Hoseok’s lips roamed over his neck and jaw as he pressed long kisses into his skin. His lips pressed into the scent gland on the right side of his neck and he couldn’t help the moan that left his mouth. He could feel the smile Hoseok tried to hide as he pressed more kisses along his jawline and just as he felt teeth on the top of his neck he heard something hit the floor behind Hoseok.The alpha whipped around alert as to defend them but they saw the rest of the pack in the doorway and a bag of take-out sitting on the floor in a bag. It was then that Yoongi realized that they must have gone out for dinner and brought them back food. A deep blush climbed his neck and face as he looked at them.“What the hell did I just witness!” Jin yelled into the house and Yoongi watched as Hoseok began to relax a bit. The alpha in him noticing they weren’t in any danger.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Hoseok felt like he was in heaven and he knew it was because of the omega by his side. Over the past few days, the two had grown close to one another. Yoongi even started to open up about his past even if he hadn’t told him the whole story yet. The omega also refused to talk about his time in the shelter and Hoseok couldn’t help but feel worried about it. Sometimes he wondered if even Namjoon knew the whole story or just what the shelter wanted him to know.After breakfast, Jin had taken the omega out to do some grocery shopping so the alpha sat in the living room and surfed the channels. He had the day off and it was getting colder so he found himself staying inside more often. He felt the side of the couch dip and he knew it was Taehyung before he could even smell him or look over. The other had seemed to want to talk with him but he was always asleep before Tae could as when they were in their room. Also if he wasn’t already sleeping then the beta was hanging out with Jungkook and ‘helping’ him with homework. Hoseok wasn’t stupid and even a blind man could tell the two were very much into one another. He wondered why neither said anything about it and he didn’t want to ruin it for them, so he kept quiet.“So hyung.” a small pause filled the air and Hoseok looked over to the blonde beta. He seemed to be thinking about his next words and the alpha couldn’t help but raise his brow. The Tae he knew never thought twice about speaking his mind so already this was a rather unusual conversation.“What’s the matter Tae? You seem to have something on your mind lately. Just ask me.” he said in a straightforward manner and that seemed to snap him out of it. The next thing he knew the other was talking quickly in what Hoseok would consider word vomit.“AreyouandYoongihyungcourtingnow?” he asked in a huge rush and Hoseok blanked for a second because he wasn’t sure what was said. He replied the moment in his head and then realized what the other had asked. A blush covered his cheeks as he looked away from the younger man and back at the tv.“I’m not sure. I didn’t really as him about it. I think I am going to start though. I was already planning a gift to start the process.” he said softly as he reached a hand up and rubbed the back of his neck. He could see the blonde smiling at him out of the corner of his eye before snapping his gaze back to the tv.“I think you should. You bring something out in him not even I can do.” the blonde laughed and Hoseok couldn’t help but feel his chest warm at the information. It meant a lot to him after all he and Taehyung were almost inseparable. If anyone should be getting credit for Yoongi to start opening up to the rest of the pack it was Tae.“Thanks, Tae that means a lot.” he smiled as he looked back to the blonde and rustled his hair in appreciation. “How about we go see a movie while they are out?” he asked and Tae nodded excitedly. Tae has been waiting to see Venom since it came out and if hyung was paying then even better for him, he had off college for the day too.------ “So now that we are done shopping what are your plans for the rest of the day?” The black hair beta asked. The two of them were currently putting all of the bags into the car so that they could go home.“Well, Namjoon asked me to help him with writing his new song. I told him I was interested in music writing and he didn’t hesitate to involve me.” Yoongi said softly as he talked about the others mate. The information seemed to bring a smile to the raven’s face.“Well, in that case, we better hurry home. I have to go to the clinic after this,” he said as he placed the last bag in the back. Yoongi gave a small nod and got in the passenger seat while Jin toon the driver.The drive home was quick, it really paid off living so close to everything. The two grabbed the bags and made their way into the house. It seemed that Hoseok and Tae had left to see a movie, they knew from the text they got 5 minutes ago. Once inside Jin told him to run along and help Namjoon and he would put the items away. Yoongi nodded as he tried to hide his excitement as best as he could.The white-haired omega knocked on the door of the alpha’s room and soon a grunt came saying he could enter. Once inside he saw the alpha at his computer messing around with audio files and beats.“Just in time. I think I have the song all set up now we just need to write the lyrics.” he smiled as he spun around and looked at Yoongi.“If we are just doing the lyrics then we need to go somewhere we can draw inspiration from.” the omega smiled and the alpha tilted his head at the other. The alpha usually just stayed cooped up in this room and Namjoon definitely needed a change in scenery.”I know a park. It was beautiful, lots of nature, and had interesting people.” he smiled and the alpha seemed to be up for the idea.“Alright let’s go then. This song isn’t going to write itself.” he laughed as he grabbed a jacket that had been on the back of the chair and gestured to the door.Namjoon said goodbye to his mate before leaving with Yoongi to the park. The ride was quiet and the omega twirled the pencil around his fingers as he looked out the window. Once at there they parked the car and made their way to a bench in the middle of the park. It was busier than usual but not as loud as one might think.They sat down next to each other with each holding a pencil and a notebook to write down any lines or ideas. He wasn’t sure how much time has past but Yoongi found himself writing down small verses and words as he looked at the people and things around him. Finishing one of his lines he looked back up and he caught the sight of pink hair. Now unnatural colored hair wasn’t that unusual in Korea but on a male? Now that was unusual.The omega found himself leaning forward as if to get a better look but the man was on the other side of the playground that was in front of them. He was walking with a larger group but he could tell he wasn’t with them. The pink-haired man was simply walking alongside them in his day to day life.Yoongi was about to lean back in the bench when the male turned his head to absently look to his left and it was as if his world crumbled. He recognized that face even if it had been 9 years since he saw the other male. Yoongi froze up as he caught sight of his face, he looked beaten up. He had a black eye and bruised jaw. Traveling further down he saw a rather angry and scabbed bite mark along his scent gland. He was paralyzed as he looked at his childhood friend beaten up and sad. He could tell the other was sad just by the look in his eyes. Eyes that once held so much joy it tettered into annoyance whenever it was directed at him.“Jimin….” was the only thing that left his lips as he shot up out of his seat and dashed forward. Something inside of him told him to protect the other and Yoongi wasn’t about to second-guess his gut this time. He has never felt an emotion so strong before and he couldn’t help but feel dread building up. The feeling clogging his throat as he tried to call out for the others name.As he passed through the playground quickly he could hear Namjoon calling after him but he ignored it. Everything was moving so slow but so fast at the same time and Yoongi had never felt so desperate before. This whole time the crowd kept moving and so did Jimin, he couldn’t find him.The omega pushed a few people out of the way as he tried to navigate through them. He saw people glaring at him and throwing around curses but he didn’t care. He needed to find Jimin, something was wrong he could feel it. Why was he beaten up? Who was his mate and how could they let that happen to him?He was about to push past more people when someone grabbed his arm and pulled him off the sidewalk and into the grass of the park. He tried to push away and fight the hold but it was firm and he looked up to meet concerned eyes.“Yoongi hyung what are you doing?” he asked a bit breathless and Yoongi tried to tell him, he tried to explain but when he opened his mouth nothing came out. “You’re crying,” he said softly and it was then he could feel the tears running down his face.“Ji…” he tried he really tried to get the name out but this feeling of dread and guilt pulled his voice down. He should never have left Jimin in the first place, this never would have happened if he stayed. Though how could he have? He had turned 16 and once you hit that age you were forced to move to a shelter. He should have found a way, they should have run away or something. The other was like a little brother to him he was with him for four years before they were ripped apart. Jimin was his family after what happened to him and he let the other down.“Let’s go home hyung,” Namjoon said and it triggered another wave of panic. Yoongi pushed against the alpha as he tried to get away but Namjoon wasn’t having any of it. “You need to calm down. You are a danger to yourself and others around right now,” he informed him in a serious tone and Yoongi settled a bit after that.“No. I c-can’t. I c-can’t l-leave. N-not again. I c-can’t l-leave h-him again.” he finally got out but it was only just above a whisper. “I l-lost him. Again I-I…”“We will come back. Find him then. You aren’t in any condition to search for him.” he said softly and it was then that he let go of one of his shoulders so he could rub his wrist along his scent gland. Yoongi realized now that he must have been giving off strong distress scents because people were stopping and looking at him.“Please hyung,” he spoke to him softly and Yoongi went slack in his hold. The other took that as ‘okay’ and he led them back to the car. Namjoon had to buckle him up and help him into the car because of how bad he was spacing out. The alpha must have grabbed their stuff at one point because he put it on Yoongi’s lap before closing the door and walking around the car. He opened the driver seat and got in quickly before buckling up and looking over at Yoongi. The omega was looking down at his feet with a far off look. Namjoon looked away as he started the car and pulled out while feeling nothing but helpless. He didn’t know how to make this better, he didn’t know how to comfort the pack omega but he was going to figure it out.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Namjoon pulls into the driveway quickly and gets out so he can run around the car and help Yoongi out. He gets to the other side and the omega still hasn’t moved from the same place Namjoon put him. He opened the door and reached out for the omega but one look at his eyes and he knew he was lost. Namjoon could practically see his thoughts through his eyes as he stared blankly ahead.Namjoon reached in and picked the omega up easily, the alpha carried him in bridal style. He kicked open the door and moved into the house quickly, not taking off either of their shoes. He could practically hear Jin yelling at him in his head but now wasn’t really the time to worry about that. He didn’t stop until he was at Yoongi’s room and he walked in and placed the omega on his bed.The alpha figured he would feel safer in his own space rather than in Jin and his room. He had placed Yoongi in a sitting position and Namjoon kneeled at his bedside as he took off the elders shoes and placed them at the end of the bed. He still seemed to be in a dazed state and it was beginning to really worry the pack alpha.Namjoon reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone so he could contact the rest of the pack. He sent out a group message saying that they were all to come home as soon as possible. Namjoon wasn’t sure what was wrong but he hoped having the whole pack around and him being in his room would help.Just as he placed his phone back in his pocket he looked back to Yoongi and to his surprise the elder was looking at him. His gray eyes still looked unfocused and sad but he had moved and was looking Namjoon directly in the eyes. Namjoon was about to speak when Yoongi beat him to the punch.“Get out.” the omega had spoken so softly Namjoon didn’t hear him so he leaned closer. He was about to ask him to repeat himself but he spoke again. “GET OUT! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! LEAVE ME ALONE!” he yelled as he started to make a move towards Namjoon.The alpha stumbled back at the outburst but quickly got to his feet and ran for the door. He swiftly exited the room and closed the door behind him but as he did so he heard something hit the wall and break. The alpha wasn’t exactly scared he was just worried and didn’t want to upset the pack omega more than he already was. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and he pulled it out to see the group message was going off like crazy. On second thought maybe the whole pack shouldn’t be around.----------------Namjoon:
Come home as soon as possible, urgent.Hoseok stared at the message for a second and he couldn’t help but think of the worse. His mind went back to the alphas who had shown up at the house and instantly he was furious. He looked up from his phone and saw that Tae had just got done reading the message as well. They had just exited the movies and were heading towards home when both of their phones went off.“We got to get home.” a growl escaped his throat near the end and Tae seemed to shrink back in response. Hoseok turned to the direction of the house and broke out into a sprint and behind him, he could hear Tae following him just as quickly.They both burst through the door panting like dogs as he saw the pack gathering in the living room to the right of the entryway. All of them seemed to be wearing grim looks and it only worried the alpha further. He also didn’t miss that the only one absent from the meeting was Yoongi.“Where is he?” he growled out and it came off angrier, threatening, and dominate than appropriate when speaking to one’s pack and pack alpha. Namjoon wasn’t one to be tested but it seemed he was also in a bad mood because he didn’t hesitate to step forward into his face.“You will watch your tone with the pack and I! You are not the pack alpha here and I do not answer to you,” he growled out almost as equally angry. Another growl vibrated in his throat but he held it back as best he could as Namjoon stared straight into his eyes with a face that dared him to challenge the leader.Hoseok nostrils flared and he smelled a sicking scent of distressed omega that it made him want to hunt it down and comfort them. Under all the negative feelings and anger he smelled the familiar mint scent and he perked up and snapped his head towards Yoongi’s room. He was here! Then what was going on? Why does he smell like that?Hoseok was confused and worried but the one thing he knew was that he needed to go to him. He looked back to Namjoon and he seemed to have calmed down a bit, he now knew why the pack alpha as on edge.“I’m sorry everyone,” he said sincerely and made sure to look at each of them as he said it. “What’s going on? What happened to Yoongi hyung?” he asked worriedly but he could see he wasn’t the only one feeling this way.“I’m not sure everything was fine and then it wasn’t. We were sitting at the park when all of a sudden he got up and ran towards something or someone. He did say something about a male. Something like he couldn’t leave him again. He was hard to understand. Yoongi hyung was crying and stuttering like he couldn’t speak Korean anymore.” Namjoon informed them and Hoseok felt his heart sink. Another male? Who was this male and why did he feel like he couldn’t leave him. Did Hoseok not stand a chance against this guy?“I think one of you should talk to him.” Hoseok looked at Namjoon as he pointed from him to Tae.“I will!” he said before anyone else could say anything. He wanted answers but more importantly, he wanted to be there for Yoongi. “I’ll go,” he said a bit more calmly and Namjoon nodded. He was about to go to Yoongi but a hand grabbed his shoulder.“Be careful he screamed for me to leave his room and I think he threw something at the door,” Namjoon said and Hoseok and the rest of the pack looked at him with wide eyes. After a moment he nodded and headed to the pack omega’s room.------------------A knock sounded on the door and Yoongi couldn’t help but curl into himself more at the sound. He was currently laying in his bed on his side with his knees pulled up to his face and his arms wrapped around his knees. He wanted to hide from his shame and guilt, from his pack, and from the rest of the world.What had he done? What life did he curse sweet, bubbly, smiling Jimin to? What did he go through to look like that? The light that was once in his eyes was dull and almost nonexistent as he looked over the others face. His mind just replayed what happened at the park over and over again.The knock on his door sounded again and it pulled him out of his thoughts as he moved his head to look over towards the noise. “Go away Namjoon!” he cried in a hoarse voice and he threw his head back down onto his bed.He had to find Jimin, he needed to save him from whatever happened to him and prevent it from happening again.“It’s not Namjoon. It’s Hoseok. Can I come in?” he asked and Yoongi said nothing in response and he must have taken it as a yes because a moment later he was pushing the door open. The sound of glass hitting each other sounded as he moved the smashed pieces off the lamp that was in front of the door.“Hyung” a soft voice spoke to him as the alpha walked further into his room. Soon he felt the side of his bed dip under the others weight but he didn’t move to look. “Yoongi hyung please talk to me. Tell me what’s wrong,” he spoke softly and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel a bit of tension leave him. The mix of his voice and calming smell that he must have been pumping out did things to him.“I don’t want to talk about it Hoseok.” he practically growled at the alpha and that seemed to shock the other because he heard the other stop breathing for a second. That’s right hate him, he only brought bad luck anyways. How long until he ruined this pack, his new family. He couldn’t do it again, he couldn’t lose more family but the risk of him staying seemed almost as bad.“Yoongi” the other spoke softly as he felt fingers brush over the strands of hair beside his ear. It was like something snapped and he was back in that cold dark room curled up in a ball waiting for his abusers to come in and have his way with him. His body moved before his brain could even think of what was happening. He shot up and pushed Hoseok off his bed and watched as he fell the short distance onto the floor. He landed on his butt with his hands behind him to catch his fall but fate was a cruel thing. Hoseok’s hands had landed in the glass shards from the lamp he had thrown earlier and the smell of blood cut through the air like a knife. Granted it wasn’t a dangerous amount of blood but it was too much for Yoongi and it only proved his point of back luck.“I’m so sorry Hoseok. I really am but please get the fuck out of my room,” he growled at the orange-haired alpha. His face was blank, his words were cold and angry, but his eyes were worried and sad as he looked at Hoseok.The alpha looked up at Yoongi a bit shell-shocked before looking down at his lap before getting off the floor. He stood up slowly and looked at his hands, blood rolled off his palm and dripped from the back of his hand onto the floor. Before Yoongi could say more the alpha turned around and left the room like told. The omega’s heart ached and he couldn’t stop the sob that ripped through his chest and up out his throat.No one comes into his room for the rest of the evening and Yoongi was glad because he wasn’t sure if he could handle anyone else especially if they spoke about what had happened to Hoseok.As the day rolled into the night hours a knock sounded through his room and he looked over at the door but no one opened it. The knock was different than Hoseok’s so he knew it wasn’t the alpha again.“Hyung dinner is ready.” a small voice said from behind his door and he wanted to cry again as he heard the voice of Taehyung. He sounded so worried and sad he was starting to hate himself for what he was putting his pack, his family, through.“I’m not hungry,” he called back and he could hear the footsteps outside his door shuffle a bit. He wondered if the beta had thought he would ignore him or come down for dinner.“But hy-” Tae seemed to stop himself and a small sigh could be heard before he continued. “Okay hyung. Leftovers will be in the fridge if you change your mind.” the other said before he heard the footsteps walk away from his door.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi decided hours ago that he wasn’t going to be able to sleep and that wasn’t because he did want to. Honestly, the omega was exhausted both physically and emotionally but his mind wouldn’t let him sleep and he feared that if he did he would get nightmares. True he was rather use to nightmares but with everything that was happening the ones that were bound to follow would be too fresh, still an open wound, he wasn’t ready for that. So instead of sleeping as he should have, he stayed up all night long.Throughout the night he thought about what happened during the day like he could think of anything else. Though as the images of Jimin filled his mind and how he thought about worst-case scenarios he also thought about his pack. He had been a dick to them when were nothing but nice and understanding. Not only that bit Hoseok got hurt because of him and that bothered Yoongi almost as bad as Jimin. The omega wondered if it was because of something that he directly did to the other that bothered him so much or was it because it was Hoseok in general. Even if he hadn’t hurt the alpha but say someone else did would he still feel this strongly?His mind wondered on and on over the same couple subjects and by morning he knew what he was going to do about all of it. So when the first chirps sounded from the birds outside the omega crawled out of bed and stripped down so he could change into another set of clothes. He pulled on black jeans and a blue sweater as he moved around his room he was mindful of the broken lamp still on the floor.Once dressed he carefully cleaned up the mess he made and safely disposed of it without hurting himself. Once that was all cleaned he pushed open his door and closed it softly behind him before he tiptoed to the kitchen.The omega was happy to see that no one was up yet and decided that he was going to make breakfast for the pack as a way to apologize. He wasn’t sure what else he could do so he took what Jin had shown him over the couple weeks and began to put it to use. He fried up some eggs as he also prepared the vegetables, meats, and rice. He was trying his best and he even added some kimchi. He wasn’t sure how much time had passed but he was about to start plating all the items and taking them to the table when Jin decided to come out into the kitchen.As soon as the elder came in he looked up and spotted Yoongi almost immediately, he would have been faster if the black haired beta wasn’t still half asleep. Though it seemed when he met eyes with the other he woke up quickly.“Yoongi! How are you?” he asked surprised but then it switched to worry. The beta didn’t move for a few moments before taking a couple steps closer like he would scare the omega. “What are you doing?” he added as he watched Yoongi plate some of the items.“I’m okay now, I think. Well, as okay as I can be. As much as I want to stay in my pity party bubble I need to be present when I find Jimin again.” he said a bit absentmindedly but it wasn’t false. “Plus I have to apologize to everyone for how I was acting and what I said,” he mumbled as he turned off the stove and began placing things on the table.“Oh Yoongi, sweetie no one is mad. We understand you’re going through something right now. It happens to all of us. After this morning I don’t think anyone will hold anything against you.” he comforted the omega and to be honest it helped calm Yoongi’s nerves. He was nervous after all he’s said and did while in the depths of his grief.“I hope so hyung.” the omega whispered out and Yoongi watched as the beta came forward and began to help him set the table for the pack. He was also a bit nervous about his cooking skills and if it even tasted okay. After all, he had only helped cook and watched Jin make food before, he’s never really made a whole meal.“It all looks very good Yoongi, I’m proud.” the words shocked the omega and he looked up from the dish he had just placed and saw Jin smiling over at him. A small blush spread over his face at the compliment and he looked up and away from his hyung.“T-thanks h-hyung.” he tried to get out as he swiftly walked away from the table and to the fridge to pull out the juice. Once it was all set up he began working on the coffee and just as the pot began to brew he heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen.“Alright, you heathens everyone up! Yoongi made breakfast!” Yoongi’s head snapped around to see Jin half hanging in the hallway where all the bedrooms were yelling down the hall. A deep blush crawled up his neck and overtook his whole face as he wanted to protest but he couldn’t Jin was right.What followed were some grumbled incoherent talking and then the sound of heavy footsteps in multiples. Before he could even move to the other side of the kitchen the whole pack was pushing out of the hallway and into the kitchen where they took in the table and Yoongi.The omega watched their faces and was relieved to see no one looked downright pissed at him so he took that as a good sign. Then everyone began moving towards the table, everyone but Namjoon. His small bubble of self-assurance broke as he looked at Namjoon’s emotionless face and the omega gulped down his own saliva.No words were as he made his way over to the alpha who motioned for him to follow. So here was Yoongi followed the straight-faced alpha into his room where only God knew what as going to happen. As he closed the door behind him he prepared himself for the worse and when nothing came Yoongi spoke up.“Alpha I am so sorry I know what I said and did was unforgivable. I promise I wasn’t in my right mind and normally I would have never done anything like that. I know you were concerned about me and I just threw it back into your face. I couldn’t sleep last night and my mind reminded me how unfair I was to all of you. Especially Hoseok, I was so mean and I even got him hurt. I promise to make it up to all of you and the pack, whatever you want I’ll pay the price.” he seemed to word vomit everything out and he wasn’t even sure if he was talking too fast or not to understand.“Are you okay?” was all that came from the alpha and Yoongi couldn’t help but stumble to the side a bit. This was not what he thought was going to happen in the morning after everything that happened.“I-I will be. I have to find Jimin and right these wrongs. I-I” he stopped himself as he swallowed his nerves and spoke again. “I want to ask if Jimin can join the pack once I find him again. If he wants to of course,” he said and his voice got softer as his words trailed on.Namjoon seemed to think about this for a bit longer than what made Yoongi comfortable but again he understood. He was trying to add an unknown person into the pack, that was more money, more mouths to feed, and more responsibilities as an alpha.“Is he someone special to you?” he asked but as Yoongi looked into his eyes he could tell the alpha already knew the answer to that question. By no means was the pack alpha stupid but it seemed like the other was subtly digging for more information.“Yes, he is very important to me. He may not be my blood family but he is my pack. He is like my little brother.” something he said must have been what he wanted to hear because he nodded and looked a bit less serious after it.“Then if he wants to join my pack I will allow it,” he said with a bit of a nod before continuing. “I do expect you to apologize to Hoseok about what happened the other night. He told me it was an accident but still, he was injured,” he said seriously once again. Yoongi nodded quickly in response and then he watched as the alpha relaxed.“I was talking with Hoseok last night and he told me that he wanted to help you find this Jimin of yours. He said he would be calling off work for the next few days to help you search.” the new information made Yoongi bite his lip to hold back a smile. “I’ll help as much as I can but with work, I can’t promise much.” the alpha added and Yoongi understood after all Namjoon and Jin were the breadwinners of the house and everyone couldn’t stop to help him look for Jimin without threatening the pack's way of life and living.“Let’s go before someone breaks down the door so they can start eating. Thank you by the way, for the food I mean.” a small smile spread over his face and Yoongi couldn’t help but smile back at him. The alpha reached over and pulled him into a small hug before taking him by the shoulder as he walked out of the room side by side.Once they entered the kitchen everyone looked at them but Yoongi’s eyes locked onto Hoseok and before he could stop himself he was word vomiting again.“Hoseok I am so sorry about what happened the other night. I was being a huge ass and you even got hurt because of me. I am so sorry.” the omega bowed towards the alpha as he apologized.“It’s okay it wasn’t bad and I heal quickly. Did Namjoon say anything abo-” Yoongi cut him off with a nod and Hoseok just smiled back at him. “Then let’s eat I can’t wait to try your cooking.”He and Namjoon finally took their seats and everyone started grabbing food and placing it in their bowls. Everyone grew quiet as they ate but Yoongi found himself unable to as he waited for everyone's feedback.“H-how is it?” he asked as he looked around the table and the first face he landed on was Taehyung to his right.“Oh wow hyung this is pretty good!” he practically shouted at Yoongi but he couldn’t help but smile at the beta.“Not as good as Jin’s.” he heard from across the table and he locked eyes with Jungkook as his gut fell into his stomach. A small fit of panic was welling up inside of him but soon a smile broke out on the others face and it washed the feeling away. “But it is better than everyone else’s food in the house.” and with that comment, he received a chop to the neck from Jin.“Hey show some respect for your hyung!” he growled softly at the other and Jungkook just laughed as he rubbed his neck and continued to eat.“It really is good Yoongi hyung.” he heard and he didn’t have to look to know it was Hoseok who spoke. A warm feeling spread over his chest and he couldn’t help but feel prideful at the compliment from the alpha.“Literally anything is better than what I can make. My hands are definitely used for music only, I can barely boil water.” he heard from the head of the table and soon the room filled with laughed and voices of agreeance. Just like that the morning changed from stressful to filled with laughter and stories of the past with Namjoon’s cooking. A small smile pulled on his lips and he seemed to forget about his grief as he thought about how he was going to get Jiminie back.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
that dinner, Yoongi had relaxed a lot and was starting to stop and think about his next moves. He wanted to find Jimin and he wanted to find him now. Most of the other pack members had gone to the living room for a movie night but Yoongi wasn’t much in the mood to join. So, the omega made his way to his room and right as he was about to shut the door a hand reached out and grabbed it. Yoongi turned around and opened the door a bit to see the orange-haired alpha standing outside his room with a small smile on his face.“May I come in hyung?” he asked and who was Yoongi to deny him when he asked so politely. On top of that, he didn’t want to be alone and his company was greatly appreciated. He found it harder and harder to be alone and he couldn’t help but feel it was an effect of having a pack, someone was always around. He didn’t have to be alone anymore and seeing Jimin alone and beaten made him want to do the same for the younger.“Sure Hoseok.” He said as he opened the door so the other could enter. Yoongi had only opened the door just enough for him to squeeze in and when he did he noticed how close the two were. Their breaths ghosting over each other’s face before Yoongi moved away and to his bed. The omega was feeling all sorts of way recently and he was scared he might do or say something he will regret later. Having Hoseok close was like a double-edged sword and he couldn’t help but find it both thrilling and terrifying.“You can call me Hobi you know.” He said softly as he watched the omega sit on his bed. Another moment of silence passed before Yoongi patted his bed in order to tell the other to sit. The alpha smiled a bit as he made his way over and sat next to the omega.“Everyone calls you that. I like Hoseok.” He answered and the orange-haired male pouted at him and Yoongi couldn’t help but find himself chuckling at his childish antics. “I will nickname you something in time. I want it to be something only I call you.” He said softly but he knew the other heard because the pout disappeared as he smirked towards the white-haired omega.Yoongi scooted back so his back was against the headboard and soon Hoseok followed him and sat on his left side. Some moments passed where no one talked and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel the familiar silence from before his time with this pack. He imagined his old ‘cell’ and what it was like back at the shelter now that he wasn’t there and if they still waited for his return. This was the longest he has been away from them and he wondered what they thought about that. His mind shifted back to Jimin and his past with the boy. Memories they shared played like a film in his mind and he found himself wanting to share them with Hoseok.“I was 13 when I met him, Park Jimin I mean. I had just arrived at the orphanage and the other children avoided me like the plague. I was a mess and gave off a ‘Don’t talk to me’ kind of vibe. I had just lost my parents to…” he stopped himself as he imagined flames rolling off of his childhood home. He cleared his throat and continued, not once did he look at Hoseok. “It had been on my second day when everyone was gathered outside. I usually sat on the porch while all the other kids played. I was watching the birds that nested in the trees when I heard a cry of pain. Instantly my eyes snapped to the source but I couldn’t see much. There was a group of kids huddled in a circle and I could hear the cries coming from somewhere over there. Everyone in the circle was moving and laughing and it took a moment to realize they were kicking something. I’m not sure what came over me or what I was thinking but a sense of urgency pumped through my veins and I was moving towards the other kids before my mind caught up. I had shoved a few kids to the side and I looked down and saw a kid curled up in a ball with scratches and bruises. I shoved a few of the other kids before reaching down and scooping him up. I carried him back into the orphanage and passed a few employees. They had been watching the whole thing and did nothing to save him. I took him up to my room, though I shared it with seven other kids and patched him up. I cleaned his wounds and carefully dressed them while he sobbed softly to himself. He told me this happened often, that no one has ever stopped them and it broke my heart. Before me sat a 10-year-old kid whose parents left him on the steps of the orphanage 2 years ago and got beaten daily by the other kids. He didn’t tell me his story right away it actually took me a week to get him to open up, he was still young and easily trusted others so I’m surprised it took me that long. After that day I watched over him just like he watched over me. Though mine was more physically he watched over me mentally, after what happened I would slip into my mind as depression controlled me. He would pull me back, he was my savior just as much as I was his.”Yoongi stopped talking for a few moments as nostalgia took over his mind but soon it came crashing down as he thought about the years to come. He could feel Hoseok gaze on him but he still didn’t look at the younger male. “It was like that for years, for 3 years we looked out for one another. Once I turned 16 and no one had adopted me they transferred me to the shelter.” Yoongi stopped there, he wasn’t ready to tell him about his time in the shelter. Though he felt the need to add something else as if to clear up the story that was Jimin and Yoongi. “I never saw him after the day they took me.”“We will find him Yoongi.” He heard from his left and a small smile made its way onto his face. The omega turned towards the alpha and he raised a hand to wipe a tear from the omega’s face. He hadn’t realized he started crying until then and it was like a dam broke. Tears rushed down his face as he cried softly, his hands coming up to try and cover his face. Hoseok turned to face him and pulled Yoongi into his chest so he could hold him.The smell of vanilla began to fill the room and Yoongi couldn’t help but let out a strangled chuckle. “You remind me of home.” Slipped from his lips and he knew how it sounded. Hoseok reminded him of his mother, her cooking, and the candles she would light. Did he mean more to that statement? Like how the alpha made him feel safe and secure. Or how he aroused something in him that he thought was dead, like emotions other than pain and hurt. Maybe, but right now Yoongi didn’t care about figuring any of that out. He needed to find Jimin before he did anything else.-----------When Yoongi began to stir he couldn’t help but smile softly to himself. He had slept amazing, never has he ever gotten such restful sleep in his life. He didn’t have any nightmares and he was so warm he didn’t want to get out of bed. In fact, he turned over and snuggled more into his pillow ready to fall completely back into oblivion when a knock sounded on his door. He growled softly in anger as he snuggled closer to his pillow hoping the noise would go away.“Hyung it’s time for breakfast!” a happy voice called through the door though the voice also sounded a bit odd. There was an underlying tone that he couldn’t place, was it smug? He growled again as he grunted for the male to leave him alone.“Oh, come on hyungs you can’t stay in there forever.” The voice added and Yoongi’s mind picked up on the plural ‘hyungs’ but his body still wanted to sleep so he easily forgot about it. “Hoseok can you get up and bring Yoongi with you! Thanks!” the beta added and he could hear him quickly leaving the door cackling like a hyena. Yoongi was about to fall asleep again and ignore Hoseok when he came to his door but then his pillow moved.Panicked he jumped up and out of the bed landing on the floor and looking up at his ceiling. His heart pounded in his chest as he slowly began to sit up and look on top of his bed where a soft chuckle could be heard. Soon gray eyes met chocolate ones and then traveled down to see a smile that was brighter than any morning sun that could come in through his window.“W-w-w-what are you doing in my bed!” he questioned nervously as he stood up and looked over at the alpha who had a major case of bed head. His orange locks poked out in odd directions but he looked just as handsome when it was neatly styled.“We fell asleep after your talk. I didn’t mean to stay it kind of just happened hyung. I’m sorry.” The smile faltered a bit and it pulled on his heartstrings.“It’s fine, let’s just go.” He finally got out as he messed with his hair so it was all laying flat. Then he turned and grabbed some clothes and threw them on the bed so he could change. His eyes wandered over to Hoseok who was watching him and coughed before excusing himself so he could do the same.Once Hoseok had left Yoongi released a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding and stripped so he could get dressed again. The room and his skin smelled both of vanilla and mint, the mixing of their scents was pleasant and he didn’t bother washing it off.The omega made his way down stair and when he got there he noticed everyone was waiting on him, Hoseok was already at the table sitting. Everyone seemed happy this morning and Yoongi couldn’t help but let a small smile fall onto his usual mask. That was until he came face to face with Taehyung as he sat down. The smile vanished when he took a look at the shit eating grin that spread over his face.“How did you sleep hyung?” he asked with the same grin and Yoongi has never wanted to punch the kid so badly until right now.“Why are you asking it like that Tae?” a voice asked and he looked over to see Jungkook raising an eyebrow at the other. He watched the youngest take a deep breath and the look on his face changed so dramatically it was like he was struck with lightning. His eyes shifted from Yoongi to Hoseok and back to Yoongi with a shocked and questioning look. It was normal for them to smell like each other now but to this extent, it was like Yoongi and Hoseok bathed in each other's scent before joining them for breakfast.“What’s the matter Jungkook? Got something to say?” another voice entered the conversation and Yoongi looked over at Hoseok in shock. What the hell was he doing? He watched Jungkook turn towards him once more and he scowled at the older alpha while Hoseok wore a smirk. He did know what was going on but it must have been an alpha thing. Though his mind wondered if this had anything to do about what Hoseok said last time.“Would you do this with Jungkook?”Yoongi began to blush a bit as he relived the moment in his mind, was Hoseok trying to rub this in Jungkook’s face? Hoseok must be blind if he didn’t realize that Jungkook had a thing for Taehyung and not the omega.“Enough let’s’ eat and leave Yoongi and Hoseok’s bedroom life alone.” a voice spoke up and Yoongi looked at Jin in betrayal, how could he say that!The omega sputtered as he looked around the table at his pack mates. “There is nothing going on in my bedroom life!” he growled out to them and that seemed to sober everyone up a bit. A heavy sigh left his lips as he watched his pack begin to eat.Halfway through the meal, Hoseok turned to Yoongi and the omega raised his eyebrows in question as he chewed his eggs. “I was thinking we could spend some time in the park today, and the neighboring areas,” he said and Yoongi nodded quickly.Today was the day he was going to get Jimin back!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
After breakfast, Hoseok went to his room to grab a sweater because it was starting to get chilly outside and he didn’t want to freeze. Also if Yoongi happened to get cold he could give him something to keep warm with. A small blush crossed his cheeks as he thought back to when Yoongi was wearing his sweater and smelling it. He’s noticed that the elder liked the way he smelled and he even said he smelled like home last night. The alpha’s heart raced a bit at the memory and a small smile pulled at his lips as he searched his room. While his back was turned away he heard someone close the door behind him and he could help but turn to see who it was. Though out of anyone he didn’t think he would come face to face with Namjoon. The older of the two blinked slowly as the brown-haired alpha stepped closer. The pack leader wore a strange look on his face and Hoseok couldn’t help but take a step back with a raised eyebrow. “What is it Namjoon?” he asked as the other alpha stepped closer and smelled the air around him. This made the orange-haired alpha look over at the leader worriedly. Was he okay? “Namjoon what are you doing?” he asked again. “Did you two have sex? Do we need to have the talk?” he asked and it was like Hoseok brain short-circuited for a second. He stared at the younger in disbelief and shock while Namjoon waited for his answer. “W-what? Firstly I’m older than you Joon so I should be having that talk with you, not the other way around. Secondly, we didn’t have sex and I know you can smell that. So why are you even asking?” he said quickly as he looked around as if someone would overhear them. “I’m already mated and I was before we even met so it’s a bit late for the talk. Also, what are your plans with Yoongi?” the other replied back just as quickly as he watched the vanilla smelling alpha. “Plans? Joon is it not obvious I’m going to court him! What else did you think I was going to do?” he asked a bit harshly. He couldn’t help but feel like he was being accused of something. “You better be because I would not sit back and watch you try and use Yoongi. He may be the pack omega and an unmated one at that but it doesn’t mean you can toy with his feelings. He’s been through hell in his life and I can’t help but feel we may be the only ones who have been nice to him since before the orphanage. I don’t want him to feel obliged to give himself to one of us because we took him in. You can only continue this if you are serious, I don’t want anyone getting hurt.” a small pause washed over them before the leader continued. “Either way you might want to wait a bit. If you guys find Jimin I feel it will be harder for you to continue courting him. Wait until we have found Jimin and all that blows over before taking the next step.” he added and it was like a punch to the gut for Hoseok. “Wait for Jimin….Who is he to Yoongi?” he asked but honestly, it was more to himself than to Joon. The older alpha looked down at his feet while he thought about Yoongi and Jimin. Did he stand a chance against the other guy? They we want to make up on all the lost time and they knew each other before Hoseok so was he fighting a losing battle? “Jimin is an omega if that helps put your mind at ease. Yoongi told me a bit about him but honestly not much.” the other alpha said and it helped a bit but who was to say there wasn’t more. Omega and omega relationships were rare, yes but they did happen. He remembered last night and how Yoongi spoke so fondly of the other. Was he just over thinking this and the other omega was just like a brother to him? Hoseok wasn’t sure but he was a bit scared to find out the truth so he would wait and see. Namjoon was right about waiting after all once Jimin was with them Yoongi will want to spend time with him. Courting was all about being close and spending time together to see if that person was right to mate with. The alpha often giving gifts and food showing his ability to provide. Hoseok eyes wandered over to a small box sitting on his bookshelf, it was gray and looked to be velvet with a white ribbon. He should wait.--------Yoongi pulled at the thread that hung off of his long sleeve while he waited for Hoseok in the doorway. Hoseok seemed to be taking his time and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel on edge as he waited for the alpha. Teeth tugged at his lip nervously as he thought about finding Jimin, fingers still tugging on the thread. “Ready to go?” a voice called from across the room and Yoongi’s head snapped up to see Hoseok smiling over at him. Teeth on full display as he lit up the room and Yoongi couldn’t help but relax a bit. Hoseok seemed to have a calming effect and Yoongi silently thanked him for it, his nerves were already fried. A small nod was all he got in response and soon the two were exiting the house ready to search. As they made their way down the street towards the park Yoongi kept an eye out for Jimin. “So what does he look like?” the voice next to him asked and Yoongi wanted to smack himself for not telling the other earlier. How was he expecting to Hoseok help him search when he didn’t even tell him what he looked like. The omega rubbed his face as he thought about his idiocy and looked at Hoseok with a scowl. “When I saw him yesterday he had pink hair, like bright pink hair. He was covered in scratches and bruises and he had a….” Yoongi stopped talking and his steps seemed to slow for a second before he completely stopped. His eyes instantly met with Hoseok, his gray eyes searching but for what Hoseok didn’t know. “H-He had a scabbed over mating bite on his neck.” he finally got up and Hoseok’s eyes doubled in size from shock. “He is mated?” he asked as if Yoongi would know, he hasn’t seen Jimin in 9 years and he definitely didn’t have it before they separated. Hoseok expression soured a bit at the new information before he looked at Yoongi again. “That may complicate things a bit.” The alpha said and it was the last thing Yoongi wanted to think about. Anyone who beat or let their mate get beat up wasn’t worth having. Mates protect each other and Jimin’s was doing a piss poor job of it. “I’ll fight whoever it is if I must.” He growled out and began walking once more. He heard the alpha’s footsteps behind him so he knew the other was following. “He smells like a valley of orchids on a spring day. I didn’t smell him yesterday but I would never forget it. We scented a lot when he was a pup, it helped him sleep. I didn’t know why then but thinking back he had really bad insomnia.” He spoke almost absentmindedly as he thought back to when they were younger. “Sound like you were a really good hyung to him.” He heard Hoseok say behind him. His tone sounded unusual, guarded almost, Yoongi turned his head to look back at the other. The alpha wore a blank but calm expression and Yoongi wasn’t sure he liked it. He was use to the open and welcoming face Hoseok usually wore. “He was like my little brother though I never had one. Back then I would have laid my life down for him and even after 9 years, nothing has changed. I don’t know if it was because we were both young and desperate for love but we imprinted on one another.” Yoongi said as side eyes Hoseok to watch him. The information seemed to surprise the other but it looked welcomed and Hoseok’s mask from before fell. Much better.Shortly after they made it to the park and searched around the area before branching out a bit further to continue their search. They were out there for hours and Yoongi would be lying if he said the cold wasn’t getting to him. The temperature seemingly soaked through his clothes and cling to his skin, he could feel it in his bones but even as he shivered he searched. The two had split up once they had reached the park so when a hand came down on Yoongi shoulder he was about to deck someone. The omega whipped around so fast he was scared he would dizzy himself and not land a good enough punch. “Yoongi” a voice called and the omega dropped his clenched fist back at his side. Vanilla rushed him and relaxed both his spike of adrenaline and shivering. “It’s getting cold we should head home for today.” The alpha said as he pulled off his sweater. Yoongi opened his mouth to complain but Hoseok chose them to push the sweater over his head so his head poked through the neck hole. A warm smile on his face and Yoongi lost the words to refuse him. “We’ll be back tomorrow.” He added with a soft voice and Yoongi had nothing left to complain about. The omega pushed his limbs through the other holes as they began walking back home. Yoongi pulled out his phone from his pocket and almost dropped it when he saw the time. The two of them had been searching for 5 hours, no wonder he was freezing. A sigh escaped the omega and he watched as his breath ghosted over his vision, it was definitely getting colder. He pocketed his phone again as he looked at Hoseok who was a few steps in front of the other. He had brought his hands to his mouth and he was blowing hot air into them. He felt a pang of guilt as he watched the now cold alpha try to keep his hands warm. Yoongi bit his lip as he thought for a second, his nerves trying to get the best of him. He decided to push down his worries and jogged a few paces to catch up to Hoseok. He reached up and grabbed the other right hand with his left and intertwined their fingers before pushing them into the pocket of Hoseok’s sweater that he wore. The alpha looked down at him shocked before a small smile tugged on his lips. Yoongi looked away a bit embarrassed. “I can only keep this one warm.” He said in an annoyed tone but it was only to cover up his real feelings. Though a small blush did cross his cheeks if asked he would blame the cold weather. A small hum was the only response he got from the alpha as he stepped closer to knock their shoulders together affectionately. A full-grown grin now on the others face as he looked straight ahead of them. Just when he relaxed beside the other a spike of pain erupted in his head. The omega stopped immediately and used his free hand to hold his head as he tried to force the pain back. It was the most head-splitting migraine he’s ever had and he wasn’t sure why he was getting on and so suddenly at that. He faded into his own head as he tried to block out the pain oblivious to what was going on around him. When it finally dulled to an ache he opened his eyes and looked around a bit dazed. He found himself pressed up against a chest with a hand in his hair. The large hand stroked his white locks as he came back from the pain. The omega inhaled deeply and was met with calming vanilla. A breath he had been holding finally escaped him as he felt he could breathe again. He felt so warm and safe in that moment that he hadn’t realized he moved until a sharp intake of air sounded above him. He had relaxed enough to where he fell into his instincts. The omega hand got on his toes so that he could scent mark the alpha embracing him. His neck still pressed to Hoseok’s as he came back to realization. He pulled back enough to where he could see Hoseok’s face. It was shocked but otherwise content and it warmed something inside Yoongi at the thought of that being his doing. “I’m sorry my omeg-” he didn’t get to finish before Hoseok spoke up. “No, I was just a bit surprised. Don’t apologize I- I liked it. Are you okay?” His expression quickly changed to one of worry and Yoongi’s one hand touched his head as if to feel for the pain. “I-I think so. I don’t know what came over me.” He said honestly before dropping his hand and pulling away from his embrace. “Let’s get home.” Was all he said before intertwining their fingers again before tugging him towards the house once more.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Days pass in a blur as they continue searching for the pink-haired omega in the park and nearby areas. Though after the first four days it was mostly just Yoongi searching, though the others helped when they had the time. Hoseok had to go back to work or they feared he would lose his job if he kept calling off. Yoongi wasn’t upset about him going back to work, he understood, how else would they pay the bills? All it meant was that Yoongi would have to search twice as hard and for longer. Though after 9 days of searching the white-haired omega feared he might be getting sick. During the first day of searching he had gotten a headache and it continued to plague him into the present. Not only that but he was sure he had a fever because he was always hot but still felt cold, so he bundled up whenever he left the house. His pack members worried about him and he often got texts from Jin during the day just to check up and see if he was okay. It was sweet but he didn’t want them to worry about the pack omega. So he would text back and made sure the pack always knew where he was. Though as those days passed Yoongi couldn’t help but feel more and more desperate, he feared the worse. What if he was too late to save his friend and his last memory of the other would be watching him pass the omega in the park. The thought stuck with him during the day and even carried into his dreams making it hard for him to sleep. So for the past two days, the omega has been going out to the park in the middle of the night to continue searching. It was on the 9th night that Yoongi found himself sluggishly dragging himself towards the park while blowing hot air into his hands. He rubbed them together hoping the friction will help keep them warm. The cold air bit at his ears and nose without even looking he could tell his face was flushed and pink from the weather. Rounding the last corner he crossed the street and entered the park he was now way too familiar with. He has been at this park so many times over the past 9 days that he could probably navigate the whole park blindfolded, not that he wanted to put that to the test. He pulled his face down and into the scarf that wrapped around his neck, the scent of his pack lingering on the fibers. It helped him relax a bit as he wondered the park with nothing but the moonlight to help him see in the dark. He wasn’t sure how much time had passed but it was pushing 3 am and he wanted to be back before anyone started to get up for work. After all, he didn’t text the pack this night about where he was and he didn’t want to worry them even more. So he turns his back to the playground he had run through the first time he saw Jimin and took a few steps. Though a soft noise sounded in the night and Yoongi whipped around. He wasn’t sure that the noise was because it had been so soft Yoongi wouldn’t have been shocked if he had imagined it. So he lifted his head from the scarf and sniffed as he looked around the park not seeing anything. He was about to turn and leave again when he caught the smell of orchids. Yoongi couldn’t help but feel his knees go weak at the scent but he kept himself upright. “Jimin?” he called softly as if he was scared if he spoke everything would fall away and be an illusion. Nothing was heard after that so he decided to follow the smell and he found himself half stumbling towards the playground. He climbed the steps of the equipment and crouched down to a tube that connected one platform to another with a slide connected to each. In the yellow tube was a curled up body wrapped up in a too big jacket. Everything was covered by the jacket but the person's legs and that was the only way he knew it was a person and not a bag of trash. “Hello,” he called softly as he reached in and nudged the person as to wake them up. The person smelled of orchids but there was a hint of something else so he was being cautious in case it wasn’t Jimin. Once his hand touched the other person he watched as the body jerked as if struck. The persons head snapped up and terrified hazel eyes met his gray ones and it was enough to bring him to tears. “Jimin, Jiminie, God I’ve finally found you.” he gasped out as he tried to hold back his sobs. His hand reached out and stroked the others face and he tried not to notice how the other flinched a bit at the touch. The other seemed to be in a bit of a haze but he watched as the other omega breathed in and smelled the calming scent of mint. The smell seemed to have brought him from the haze as his eyes searched Yoongi’s with overwhelming emotions. “S-Suga hyung,” he spoke so quietly that Yoongi almost didn’t hear him but the other found himself nodding his head in response. “Yea, it’s me.” he breathed out as more tears fell from his face and onto his hoodie. The next thing he knew he was laying on his back with Jimin on top of him. The other omega had his arms around his neck and squeezed him tightly while he rubbed his face into his scent gland. The body above him shook as he heard the other omega sob into his neck, hot tears dripped off his pale skin and onto the playground equipment. “Please don’t let this be another dream. I can’t keep waking up from this.” he continued to sob into the older omega’s neck. His words stung Yoongi and his heart constricted in pain for his childhood friend. Yoongi found himself embracing the other and holding him just as tightly. “No Minie I’m here. This isn’t a dream, hyung is here for you,” he whispered out as he ran his hands through his hair soothingly. “God Jimin.” he found himself choking out as he tried to hold back more tears. The other continued to sob into him until they slowly turned into whimpers before dying off completely. They laid there for a bit and Yoongi was too emotionally exhausted to move. Finally, the white-haired omega used the hand in the other's hair to move it so he could see the others face. Though he couldn’t see much with the poor lighting of the moon he could tell that Jimin was sleeping. His eyes were closed and Yoongi could feel the soft rise and fall of his chest pressed against his own. The sight was both relaxing and terrifying so with that he found his strength to get up. Though it was no easy feat as he had to pull Jimin up with him and Yoongi was not on the muscular side. This had to be bad for Jimin to just pass out like this and in a place like this, after all, he had insomnia. The thought made his hands tremble as he used one arm to hold Jimin upright while he fished for his phone in his pocket. He pulled up the dial pad and speed dialed number 2 in his phone. “H-Hello? Who is this? Do you know what time it is?” the voice half scolded as sleep hung off his voice. Yoongi couldn’t help but let out a soft sob of relief as the night's events started to catch up with him. The sound of sheets rustling came from the other end before the voice spoke again. “Yoongi? Hey, what’s going on is everything okay?” He must have looked at the caller id. Then he heard bare feet on the hardwood before the sound of a door opening came through the phone. “Where are you Yoongi?” all a sudden the voice was dead serious and worry seeped through his tone. “I-I need help. T-The park. I have Jimin. Hyung I found him.” he sobbed into the phone as his hands shook. The one holding Jimin up was desperately grasping the oversized jacket and the one holding the phone shock to the point he was scared he would drop it. “Stay right where you are I’m coming.” the sound of fast footsteps could be heard and then the soft cling of keys. “Jin what’s wrong?” another voice could be heard in the background and Yoongi could tell it was Namjoon. “Baby I’ll be right back. Stay here okay. I’ll tell you when I get back.” he spoke in a rush as noises could be heard over the phone and Yoongi wasn’t sure what was going on. “Jin?” he sounded more urgent and two sets of steps were heard over the phone as Yoongi listened. “Joonie I have to go. Stay here,” he commanded this time and silence fell over the fall before the sound of another door opening and closing was heard. Then the sound of an engine before Jin spoke up again. “Where at in the park?” he asked.“Playground hyung,” he replied quickly and Jin told him he would be there in a few minutes. Relief flooded his system and he could finally feel how tired he was and that mixed with his shaking made the phone slip from his hands. Now forgotten he turned back to Jimin and pulled him closer and began to slowly walk him down the steps to the ground. He took his time as his body shook as he carried the other who was now just dead weight. He stumbled a bit on the last step but then made his way to the bench. He sat the other down before flopping down next to him and pulling Jimin closer so his head rested on his shoulder. “Hyung has you now. I won’t let you go again,” he mumbled into the other’s pink locks. Minutes must have passed because a figure came barreling towards them and Yoongi let out the most threatening and animalistic growl he could muster as a warning. The figure slowed before raising its hands in defeat. “ Yoongi it’s me.” the figured called Yoongi recognized it as Jin and he relaxed a bit. The beta figured it was okay to come close so he moved towards them again. The doctor looked down at the two of them before going to reach for Jimin and a snarl pushed it’s way past his lips. “I’ll take him.” he protested as he got up and reached out to grab the other omega. Jin didn’t protest and simply led them back to the car as Yoongi struggled to follow. He trusted Jin and the pack but he didn’t trust anyone but himself with Jimin right now. The other was hurt and vulnerable and he would be damned if anything hurt Jimin again. He couldn’t see the wounds in this lighting but he knew it was there. He honestly just wanted the ride back to the house since he knew his body wasn’t going to make it with him carrying the other. Though Jin seemed to understand and didn’t push him as they got into the car and Jin drove them home as he sat in the back with Jimin pressed against his side. They got home quickly and Jin didn’t try to help this time as he walked in front of them towards the door. Jin opened the door and held it for the omega’s as Yoongi carried the other inside. Once inside he heard the floor creak from in the kitchen and he whipped around to see Namjoon coming towards them. In his peripheral vision, he could see Jin step closer as if to warn Namjoon and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel as if he was being cornered. Another growl ripped through his body as he glared daggers at both Jin and Namjoon, his fangs bared in warning. Namjoon backed away and Jin followed soon after putting a good amount of space between the two. Yoongi stopped growling and took this chance to look down at Jimin and he nearly dropped him. The pink-haired omega was bleeding from the side of his head and there were more scratches and bruises than the first time he saw him. His hand that had been clutching his side to hold Jimin up was covered in blood. Red smeared all over his hand as he clutched the red soaked fabric, how had he not felt that? “Yoongi I need to look at him. He’s hurt.” Jin stepped closer and Yoongi growled at him again. He felt trapped and desperate as his friend laid unconscious and hurt against his side. Yoongi pushed the body behind him a bit so he could act as a barrier between them. “Yoongi we don’t know how bad he’s hurt. What if he dies because you won’t let Jin look at him.” he heard Namjoon say and Yoongi couldn’t help but flinch a bit at his words. “Only Jin and in my room,” he said in a hoarse voice and then he began to drag the other omega towards his room. The sound of Jin grabbing something and then following could be heard behind him as he opened the door with his free hand.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The three of them made it to Yoongi’s room quickly and the white-haired omega laid down his friend. He carefully placed the other in the bed and fixed the pillow under his head before slowly moving away and looking at Jin wearily. Part of him wanted to take Jimin and run away so no one could hurt him anymore but another part knew no one in this house would hurt him. He was guessing he was feeling this extreme over protection feeling because of a multitude of things. Guilt, Happiness, his omega and it killed him to set aside and watch as Jin examined his childhood friend. Now that he wasn’t carrying the other and he was laying down Yoongi could get a good look at the other. He recognized the injuries from when he first saw him but there were new ones. The gash on his head where blood had dried, his shoulder looked odd but he couldn’t place what was wrong, his side where he was bleeding, he was scared to look under the other shirt. “His shoulder is dislocated, I need to put it back into place,” he said as he moved to the other side so he could grab the awkward looking shoulder. Jin grabbed his arm and pulled on it before moving and popping it back into place. While doing so the pain snapped Jimin back into reality as he shot up and pulled his arm from Jin.Yoongi instantly moved to his side as sweet smelling mint filled the room and Jimin’s eyes darted around. Yoongi reached out to grip the other shoulder but the omega flinched as he saw the hand coming towards him. Yoongi bit his lip so the reaction didn’t get to him. He’s confused, he doesn’t know where he is. He is hurting and has been hurt, it’s not because it’s him. “Jimin, kid, it’s me Yoongi. You’re safe, I’m here.” he comforted as he moved closer and sat on the bed. Jimin’s eyes finally met his and he sucked in a deep breath and when it came out it was in a sob. Fat tears rolled down his face and he bit on his pink plump lips. “Yoongi, Yoongi, Yoongi.” the other omega just kept calling his name as Jimin pulled him into a tight embrace. Yoongi couldn’t help when he felt tears running down his own face as he held Jimin. His hand running through the other’s pink lock in order to comfort him. “Shhh, Jimin it’s okay now. Sleep okay? Hmmm can you sleep for hyung?” he asked softly as he placed a small kiss to the crown of his head. It was like the words triggered something in the other and Yoongi felt the hold on him get tighter. “No, don’t make me sleep. I-If this is a dream and I wake up! If you aren’t here when I wake up!” he spoke hysterically and if Yoongi’s heart wasn’t broken before it was in pieces laying in his ribcage now. “Jimin this isn’t a dream, I am really here. I finally found you, sweetie come on you have to sleep. You look so tired.” he pulled back and rubbed his hand softly under the other's eyes so he could brush the tears away. “I’ll be here when you wake up, I swear it. When you wake up I will be right here next to you,” he repeated as he subtly rubbed his scent gland on his wrist against the one on Jimin’s neck. The other didn’t seem to notice at all as he searched Yoongi’s face as if he was looking for a flaw in his ‘dream’. Yoongi could feel his shoulders relax a bit as the scent of the other omega began to affect him. “Yoongi I have to patch his side at the very least before he sleeps. It’s the only thing left bleeding on him. The wound on his forehead has scabbed over.” he said softly behind Yoongi and honestly, the omega forgot he was here. At the sound of another voice Jimin tensed up and his face snapped up to look at Jin in fear. Yoongi could practically hear his thoughts. Who is he? Will, he hurt me? I don’t know you. Yoongi quickly rubbed the side of his face to get Jimin’s attention again and it seemed to work. Panicked hazel eyes locked with his and Yoongi smiled at him in reassurance. “This is Kim Seokjin, we call him Jin. He is in my pack, can’t you smell him on me Jimin?” he asked softly and the other slowly inhaled before a small nod was directed at Yoongi.”Good, now Jin is a doctor and you are hurt. I trust Jin so can you let him patch you up? Then we can sleep okay?” he asked and a few moments passed before Jimin again nodded slightly at the other omega. Yoongi showed him another gummy smile before turning to Jin and nodding at him as well. Yoongi got up to make room for Jin and he was about to step away to go to the bathroom when Jimin half launched himself out of bed. He stumbled a bit but grabbed onto Yoongi’s arm so hard he would be surprised if it didn’t bruise. “Don’t leave me hyung! What if I don’t see you again?” he practically cried. Yoongi could feel Jimin shaking from where he stood and he instantly grabbed onto Jimin and helped him to bed. Yoongi remembered saying goodbye to Jimin when he went to the doctors all those years ago. He remembered minutes after he had left men came in and grabbed him. They said nothing to the omega as they took him outside and towards a black van. He saw the woman in charge of the orphanage handing him a folder with his name on it and them talking before he was thrown in and the door was shut quickly behind him. After that they took him to the shelter, he never got to say goodbye to Jimin. That was the last time they saw each other and Yoongi wondered if that’s what Jimin was thinking about now. “I’ll be back I promise. I’m going to get some painkillers and a warm wash rag from the bathroom. I’ll only be a couple of minutes. You can trust hyung right? Hmmm?” he asked softly as he pets the other’s head. “You promise hyung?” he spoke softly as he leaned into Yoongi’s touch. The white-haired omega nodded his head at the other and Jimin released the death grip he had on his arm. Yoongi got up and looked back at Jin before leaving the room and heading to the bathroom. The door was cracked and he pushed it open easily and threw on the light as he looked for the items in mind. He found the rag and wetted it quickly before searching for the painkillers in the mirror cabinet. He quickly went back to his room with everything in hand and when he walked back into the room he saw Jin was patching up his side. Yoongi stopped a few steps from the bed and looked down at the other’s chest, it was covered in bruises and scars and it made him angry and nauseous at the same time. Jimin seemed to notice his staring and tried to cover up his body the best he could with his hands. “I’m sorry hyung. I know they are ugly to look at,” he said voice filled with shame. Yoongi quickly made his way to the bed and looked down at Jimin with sad eyes. “No Jimin this is my fault. Your not ugly Minie you are so beautiful, so brave,” he said quickly as he opened the medicine bottle and pulled out a pill and grabbed the unopened water bottle at his side table. “Here take this for the pain,” he said softly and Jimin sat up once Jin was done patching him up. Jimin took the pill no problem and Jin moved away for Yoongi to take his place. Yoongi sat back down on the bed next to Jimin and started to wash off the blood and dirt that was on his face. Jimin just let him as he nursed the water bottle in his small hands and watched Yoongi. At some point, Jin must have left because Yoongi turned to see that they were the only two left in the room. Yoongi placed the rag on the side table when he was done and got up so he could grab a shift for Jimin to wear since his was covered in blood and dirt. He pulled a plain black t-shirt from his closet and walked back to the bed to help the other put it on. Once he was covered up Yoongi took in Jimin’s appearance and man did puberty hit him like a truck. Round chubby cheeks now replaced with a sculpted cheekbone and slender face. The roundness his baby face had gone and now he looked at a well-defined jawline but it was rounded edges instead of sharp ones. His eyes didn’t change much other than they weren’t as puff underneath and his nose wasn’t as big as it was when he was younger. Another feature that changed was his lips and man if Yoongi didn’t seem him as a brother and he wasn’t traumatized at the moment he might have kissed the other already. His lips were the definition of kissable with how plump they looked. The sound of a crinkling water bottle pulled him out of his thoughts when Jimin capped it and placed it on the side table. He looked back at Yoongi with swollen eyes from crying but the white-haired omega probably wasn’t much better off. “Let’s get some sleep Minie,” Yoongi said softly as he turned off the side table light and crawled into bed next to the other omega. Jimin didn’t hesitate to scooch closer to him and wrap his arms around the older omega and Yoongi relaxed into the hold before pulling him in close in return. Jimin relaxed as he moved his into Yoongi’s neck and breathed in, the other's breath ghosting over his exposed skin. “Hyung can you hum the song? Like how you use to?” the younger spoke and Yoongi couldn’t help but melt at his words. “Yea Min of course.” he breathed out before clearing his throat and humming the song that had put Taehyung to sleep a week ago on the piano. Yoongi hummed through the song without missing a beat or messing up the spacing. His hand was threaded through pink hair as he massaged the other's scalp and halfway through the song he could feel the other’s breath change. Yoongi stopped humming and reached over them to pull the blankets over the two before snuggling back up to Jimin. The eldest continued to massage his scalp until he also fell victim to the sand man’s spell.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Hyung…..hyung” a soft voice called in his ear and Yoongi couldn’t help but hear. He wanted to sleep more so he snuggled closer to whatever was in his grip and buried his head into its soft form. “Hyung” the voice called out again and it sounded weak and a bit like a sob now. Yoongi released its hold on the object and softly looked over himself expecting to see someone standing over his bed. His brows pulled together when he saw no one and looked back down to see what he was holding. In his arms laid a teary-eyed Jimin. “Hey hey, what’s wrong? Chim?” He asked as he went back to caressing his hair and pumping out soothing mint smells. He had forgotten what happened yesterday when he escaped in his dreams. He had forgotten he fell asleep holding the one person he’s been looking for since over a week ago. “You’re still here.” He sniffled and Yoongi pulled him in tighter and kissed the top of his head. Pink locks were out in every direction and Jimin looked pale but a bit better from the night before. “I told you, Chim, I told you I would be here when you woke up.” He moved his hand to now rub up and down the others back. He made small noises to calm the other's nerves and it seemed to be working. Then suddenly a familiar spike of pain ran through his skull and Yoongi’s vision went black for a second. When his vision was back he somehow found himself sitting up and clutching his head. His breath was coming out harsh and panicked. He felt hands on his shoulder and back and it was then he realized someone was trying to talk to him. “What?” He asked as his head hammered from the aftershock of the pain. “I said are you okay Hyung? Don’t lie!” The other was worried and instantly Yoongi was angry, not at Jimin but himself. He was supposed to be looking after him, not the other way around. “I’m fine. I’ve just been getting headaches.” He reassured the other as he got up from bed just as a knock sounded. He could see Jimin tense up behind him as a voice called through the door. “Breakfast is ready.” He knew it was Taehyung but his voice wasn’t as loud as usual he must be trying to stay calm for Jimin. A small smile spread onto his face as he thought about how Tae was acting and found it very endearing. “Should I go get our breakfast and bring it up here?” He asked as he turned to get a better look at the other. He could see the other thinking about his options but soon Jimin’s head shook twice. “I should meet them. They are housing me at the moment and I never got to thank Jin.” He said softly and Yoongi has never felt more proud than at that moment. Jimin was opening up more than the elder could in the beginning. It might have helped that Yoongi was here and that was someone that Jimin trusted. “Okay. No rush though, you can take your time.” He said softly as he waited for Jimin to get up and when the other stood he limped on one leg a bit. Yoongi rushed to his side and helped him. The other must have read his expression because he let out a small laugh and gripped his shoulder tighter. “It’s okay. My knee is just bruised. It’s a bit sore.” Yoongi nodded a bit but decided to help him towards the kitchen like this. His side also had to hurt so he was careful of that as they walked. They also walked at Jimin's pace so if he wanted to walk fast of slow Yoongi would follow or if he wanted to turn back, Jimin was in control. They exited the hallway and turned the corner so they were looking into the main room which was the living room on the left and kitchen on the right. As soon as they came into view Jin looked up from the table and caught sight of them. He looked shocked but soon a welcoming smile replaced his earlier expression.“Yoongi, Jimin, come we have plates for you.” He smiled warmly at the two and that seemed to get everyone’s attention. Seconds later all eyes were on them and Yoongi had the urge to push Jimin behind him and hide him from all this attention but he didn’t The older omega looked to Jimin and waited to see what he wanted to do and soon the other was moving forward slowly. Yoongi could see his eyes dart around to everyone at the table and they lingered a bit longer on each alpha. “You’re safe. I’m right here.” Yoongi spoke softly into his ear as he helped him walk. The words seemed to relax the other a bit and it seems Jin had pulled up another seat beside Yoongi’s before they came. They made their way to the seats and sat down but neither said anything to the rest. Yoongi watched Jimin like a hawk as the meal went on to the point where the elder of the two hadn’t touch his food at all. Movement caught Yoongi’s attention as an arm reached across the table and he snapped his head to look. Hoseok was reaching across the table, chopsticks in hand, as he placed some meat on top of his rice. Yoongi looked at the hand a second longer before looking up at Hoseok face who was smiling at him softly. The elder took a quick glance at Jimin who was watching the two before nodding thanks to Hoseok and picked up his chopsticks so he could eat. ------Breakfast passed rather quickly and Jimin didn’t say anything during the whole meal but Yoongi wasn’t expecting him too. Him just being with the rest of the pack was a bit step and Yoongi was still shocked about it. Namjoon and Jin had left with dirty dishes as Hoseok finished up his food and Yoongi and Jimin were getting up when two people stepped closer to the two omegas. Yoongi watched as Jimin tensed up and he looked to see Taehyung and Jungkook standing to Jimin’s side. “Hi, my name is Kim Taehyung but you can call me Tae.” the blonde said softly as he smiled his signature boxy grin. Jimin nodded his head at the other but it didn’t seem to bother the beta. Yoongi watched Jimin closely and his brows pulled when he saw Jimin sniff the air before looking at the two newcomers confused. “Does anyone smell lavender?” he asked and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tae’s spine straighten. Yoongi turned towards Taehyung with a question on his tongue but the look in his eyes screamed ones of fear. The words died in his mouth so he thought of something else to say. “Ahh Jiminie has a sensitive nose, always has. He can smell everything and anything from a mile away.” he laughed a bit forcefully and quickly Taehyung excused himself with a poor excuse of homework before leaving. The small group watched him leave and Jungkook looked at the other two confused but turned back to Jimin quickly. “Sorry about him, normally he is more friendly. I’m Jeon Jungkook,” he said with an even tone and he reached his hand out for a handshake. A few things happened at once. Yoongi saw him beginning to extend his hand and Jimin tensing in fear beside him. The sweet smell of orchids turned sour and off with the feeling of distress Jimin was giving off. Then Yoongi found himself reaching forward with his own hand and grabbing Jungkook’s while using his free hand to push Jimin behind him. The hand gripping the kid flipped upside down placing the alpha’s hand in a painful position and with more pressure could probably snap his wrist. The alpha let out a yelp on surprise and then of pain as everything happened in a span of a second. Yoongi blinked a few times before looking up at Kook in shock and dropping his hand so the other could hold it and rub the sore wrist. “I’m sorry Jungkook my instincts kicked in, he was in distress,” he said quickly and the two eyes met and Yoongi felt like he needed to explain. “Back in the shelter there were these alpha’s and they would try and touch the omega’s. It became a habit to twist the touch of alpha’s when it was unwanted.” the words left his lips before he could stop them and then he felt like he said to much. Movement from the left side caught his eye and he saw Hoseok getting up from his spot at the table and looking at Yoongi. “ Did that happen often?” he asked and Yoongi wanted to shrink back at the question but decided to nod his head. “It was until I broke a few wrists, then they placed me in isolation,” he said softly as he looked down at his feet and he felt arms wrap around his core. Shocked he looked towards his middle and found familiar arms enclosing him and the smell of sweet orchids filling his nose. “Suga.” the small voice said as he felt a warm face press against his back. “For how long?” he asked softly and the white-haired omega tensed up. “Too long,” he said softly as he moved his hand to wrap around Jimin’s on his waist. He couldn’t help but feel open with Jimin. He wanted to tell him everything, after all, they have missed years of each other’s life. “It’s okay hyung I understand. I shouldn’t have reached out like that.” Jungkook said softly and Yoongi relaxed a bit more in Jimin’s embrace. “I trust you all, I’m just worried and on edge,” he said softly and he could feel Jimin squeeze him a bit tighter. “So why Suga?” a voice asked and Yoongi found himself looking up and over at Hoseok, he was thankful for the change in topic. A small smile spread over his face at the memory and Jimin peaked over his shoulder to smile at them as well. “When we first met I was a bit scared of him, he was brooding looking and straight-faced. Though when we got to know one another he was so sweet and kind to me. So one night while I was falling asleep I thought about how sweet he was to me and how he was like sugar. He would run his hands through my hair and hum me to sleep and so I wanted to call him sugar as a nickname but I was so tired I only got out Suga and it’s stuck ever since.” the pink-haired boy laughed softly at the memory. Yoongi looked up and saw Hoseok smiling back at the elder omega and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel a blush running up his neck. Then he turned to Jungkook and his smile and blush faded instantly. The alpha was smiling fondly at Jimin and it rocked something in Yoongi, it was wrong. That was how he looked at Taehyung, that was the smile Yoongi only saw when Tae was around and it was only ever directed at Tae. Jungkook must have felt eyes on him because he looked over at Yoongi then and his smile slipped from his face. It was like he was caught doing something he shouldn’t and even he knew it. A growl rose deep from his chest and into his throat but he held it back as Jungkook took a step back and looked at everyone quickly to see if anyone else was watching him, no one was. “I should go check on Tae.” He said softly and turned and left in search of Taehyung. Yoongi looked down at Jimin again and the smile still shone brightly on his face as he looked up at the elder omega. “We-” he was cut off with a pain in his head that felt like he was hit with a baseball bat. He leaned forward and gripped his head as the world around him faded in and out. He heard someone crying out in pain and vaguely recognized it as himself as he clutched his head. It felt like the room was spinning and his knees must have given out because the floor was rushing to meet him. He prepared for impact but it never came. The last thing he remembered was brown eyes looking down at him in concern and worry while a voice called out his name.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Hyung?......Yoongi? Can you hear me?” a voice called to him but everything was so hazy it was hard to focus. The omega groaned in response but it seemed to excite the other person because they began talking again but this time with more enthusiasm. “Oh thank god. Yoongi baby can you hear me?” the voice asked and the omega wanted to question the use of baby but as he started to come too he seemed to have other problems. He stirred a bit on the bed and he could tell by the smell and feel of the mattress he was in his own room, that seemed to relax him a bit. Though it was short lived when he felt how hot everything around him was and that included himself. He felt like he was burning up and he couldn’t help a small whimper from leaving his throat. “Yoongs are you okay?” a different voice asked, this one was much sweeter in tone. Something cool pressed against his forehead and he moaned softly at the touch and the air around him seemed to get a bit thicker. “I think he is going into heat.” a voice spoke, again different from the last two. “He is extremely hot and I can smell him getting sweeter and I’m a beta.” the voice continued but Yoongi couldn’t help but turn his head from side to side as if to tell them to stop. His head was still killing him and them talking so close by wasn’t helping. “Heat? I’ve never seen an omega act like this in heat.” a fourth and different voice said, concern laced in the words. “Is he okay? Will he be okay?” he continued and Yoongi groaned again because all the talking was pissing him off. Not only that but there were way too many people in his room. He could smell all of them and couldn’t help but think about how they didn’t belong here, not in his room. “Do you still have his file Joon?” the voice that brought up heat first asked and soon footsteps retreating could be heard. The omega didn’t want to open his eyes, even with them close he could see how bright it was in the room. “Here I still have it,” he said quickly and a bit out of breath. Soon the sound of flipping pages could be heard and then a sharp intake of breath. “Shit, I should have looked at this before now.” one said and all the voices in the room spoke up to ask what was wrong. All the noises sent a streak of pain through his head and he whimpered once more. “He was on heat blockers since he was taken into the orphanage and they carried that into the shelter. He hasn’t been off them since he was 13 years old. He is suffering from withdrawal of the medication, basically his head it coming back with vengeance. It is going to be bad and if we don’t watch him he could die. We have to keep his body temperature down or it could fry his brain.” the awfully informative one said. “‘Fuck.” a male cursed from a bit off from his bed and he was feeling awfully surrounded at the moment. Enough so he decided it was time to tell them all to get the hell out of his room. The omega pushed himself up and slowly opened his eyes as they got use to the light. “Yoongi!” a couple of voices said in surprise but all Yoongi could do in response was to growl at the group of people. It was then he noticed he had a mask over the bottom half of his face, that was why he couldn’t smell exactly who was in the room. The omega ripped the mask off the bottom of his face and looked up at all the faces gathered in his room. It was then he realized it was all of his pack members talking to one another, why hadn’t he thought about that before? His brain just didn’t seem to be putting two and two together. “We thought you were sick so we put the mask on you to make sure no one else got it. Though it seems you’re in heat.” a voice said from the left side of his bed and he looked to see Taehyung watching him in worry. Heat? What was a heat like again? He couldn’t really remember he only had two short ones when he first presented but then his family died. He didn’t even realize he was on blockers, they must have put it in the food. Though those heats didn’t feel like this one, there was so much pain.“I’m not in he-” he never got to finish his sentence because he took a deep inhale and was swarmed with the smell of alpha, not one but three. The omega coughed into his hand as if trying to expel the scent from his mouth and lungs before the heat grew. It swirled deep in his chest and moved south from there. His body had tensed but after processing the smell it relaxed and he looked up so his eyes could dart hazily to the alphas in the room. He was about to beg for an alpha when Taehyung reached over quickly and covered his mouth. “Get out, EVERYONE GET OUT!” he screamed the second part when everyone stood in shock, unmoving. Once he yelled no one seemed to leave but only get closer as if to stop Taehyung. “What the hell Tae? Who gives you the right?” Hoseok called to the other but Taehyung just moved his dagger-like glare to the alpha. “He is in heat and vulnerable. You all need to go. His heat is going to be bad and he may say or do something he may regret later. If he even remembers with how bad it will be.” The last part he added more softly as he looked down at the white-haired omega in his arms. “You all need to leave, I’ll stay and watch him. I’ll take care of him,” he said quietly but Hoseok took a step forward. His anger was leaking into his scent and no one really noticed until the omega in Taehyung’s grip started whimpering. The alpha before him was displeased, he was being a bad omega. The same thought in different variations played in Yoongi’s head. The omega’s eyes turned fearful as he looked from the orange-haired alpha to the mattress in distress. The smell of decaying mint filled the air and everyone seemed to take a step back. “Out, I will take care of him. Though you should all bring something of yours, he will want to make a nest.”Taehyung informed them and Jin nodded in agreement beside Namjoon. “He is right we should all leave and place an item outside of the door for Tae to give to Yoongi.” the oldest spoke as he intertwined his fingers with Namjoon’s and tugged a bit on his hand. Hoseok seemed to be a bit shocked with what was happening but nodded slowly and soon people started to file out. All that was left was Taehyung on Yoongi’s left side and Jimin on his right. “Shouldn’t I be the one to help him through this? I am also an omega and he has known me longer.” the pink-haired male spoke softly to the other. Jimin tried not to let his emotions leak through as he was a bit offended that Jimin wouldn’t be the first choice to stay with him. Taehyung turned to look past Yoongi and at the other before speaking. “Normally I would agree with you but I have a list of reasons why you shouldn’t. Firstly, you just came back into Yoongi’s life after being out of it for 9 years. I know the current Yoongi better than you do. Secondly, you are healing from injuries what if he gets violent and or you accidentally reopen something. Thirdly, you might not be in the right mindset for something like this. I don’t know what you have been through but if any of it was sexual in nature it wouldn’t be a good idea. Hyung is going to be horny and will probably make moves on you. Lastly, he sees you as a little brother. How would you feel if in a heat filled haze you came onto your brother?” Taehyung explained calmly and thoroughly. Jimin couldn’t argue any of his points to matter how much he wanted too and that was what hurt him the most. He couldn’t be here for Yoongi even after being separated for 9 years. Jimin bit his lip in frustration but then nodded his head and grabbed a pillow that was laying on the bed. He gripped the silky fabric harshly as if he was trying to take out some anger on it before rubbing it on his scent gland, he then turned it and repeated. Jimin didn’t really have anything to give him so this would have to do. “I’ll grab you some water, some snacks, and the items outside of the door.” the pink-haired omega said softly as he placed the pillow on the bed and left the room to do as he said. Once outside the room he placed his back against the door and slammed his head back softly on the wood. He wanted to be angry at Taehyung but he was right and that only made him angry at himself. Yoongi was always there for him when he was younger and even now when he found him, was he ever going to be able to repay him. The omega walked to the kitchen and grabbed water bottles, snacks, and some towels from in the hallway. When he went back to the door he saw some items laid in front of it and smiled a bit to himself. Yoongi has finally found himself a home, and a really good one at that. A black t-shirt that smelled like moss and earth was on the bottom of the pile, then a gray sweater that smelled like vanilla, a white shirt with ‘Worldwide Handsome’ printed in pink on the front with a hand making a heart sign under it, and lastly a red pillow smelling of a campfire placed neatly on top. Gathering the pile he opened the door and walk back into the room with everything in hand. He almost dropped a few things but luckily placed them on the dresser just in time before turning to Taehyung. “I grabbed everything, let me or one of your pack members know when you need more,” he said softly and bowed at the other. “Please take good care of Hyung,” he mumbled before turning and leaving before his jealousy could rear its ugly head. Once outside of the room he was met with a dark-haired alpha looking over at him a bit confused. “You aren’t staying with Yoongi?” he asked and Jimin just shook his head no because he didn’t trust himself to say anything nice about the arrangement or Taehyung. “Want to hang out then?” he asked softly as if he knew he was going to be turned down. Though Jimin could see he was trying to keep a good amount of distance from him and he respected that. So he thought ‘what the hell’ he was going to be here for a while and he didn’t have Yoongi to run to right now. “Sure,” he said softly and he couldn’t but smile a bit as the alpha gave him a small smile. “I was just about to binge watch Supernatural want to join?” he asked and Jimin just nodded. Jungkook gestured down the hallway towards the living room and Jimin led as the other followed behind, a small distance still between them. Once they got to the couch they sat on opposite ends though through the day as they got up to use the bathroom or get food they gravitated a bit closer together. Jimin couldn’t help but wonder if this was what a real pack felt like.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi honestly wasn’t 100% sure what he was doing but he did know that it felt right in the moment. So here sat the white-haired omega in the center of his bed moving blankets, pillows, pack members items around himself in order to make a nest. He needed the safety of his nest and he needed his alpha and then everything would be right in his would. This omega practically sang through him as he let his instincts take over and not push them down. The omega looked up and around the room but found no one but Taehyung sitting in a chair in the corner. His eyes watched Yoongi without judgment or pity as he moved items around so everything was perfect.Then his hands came to a familiar gray sweater and he lifted the fabric to his nose and inhaled deeply, the smell of vanilla swirled around him. His insides warmed at the smell and Yoongi could feel himself getting hot and bothered all over again. The urge to mate and be filled so that he could carry pups was taking over his mind. A small whimper escaped his lips as he searched for his alpha only to find Taehyung.“I want my alpha,” he growled towards the beta and Yoongi could hear the sigh that escaped his lips from across the room. The beta got up and growled as he stepped closer to his nest, the beta wasn’t allowed in. His fingers wrapped around the gray sweater tighter as he looked up at Taehyung. “You don’t have an alpha Yoongi. You are not being courted and you are not mated. You are in need, yes, but you have made no arrangements for someone to help you through them. So here I am. I am here to look after you so you don’t overheat and so no one comes in and has their way with you. “ he said simply.The beta walked to the side of the bed and grabbed the rag that sat in a bowl of water at the bedside table. Yoongi growled lowly at him but the other ignored him as he reached out to dab his forehead. Quickly a hand darted out and wrapped hot fingers around his wrist to stop Taehyung, a growl rumbled louder from the omega. The warning noise said to stay out of his nest and not to touch him. Taehyung rolled his wrist around Yoongi’s and easily switched their positions and smirked a bit at the elder. “You will submit to me omega, I am here to help,” he growled back and Yoongi seemed to shrink into himself a bit. Taehyung might be being a bit harsh but his emotions were high and he didn’t feel like dealing with this for the next three days. It was easier to make the other submit so he could help him easier. After all, if he failed to take care of him it could result in death. Another thing was that Taehyung wasn’t an alpha which means he couldn’t command the other against his will. Yes, he was weak to acts of dominance over him but he could still refuse to listen. Though it didn’t make him feel any less scummy about it. The deep rumble of Taehyung’s voice struck a chord in Yoongi and his omega recognized the authority he held at the moment. Yoongi subconsciously rubbed his thighs together in some effort to create friction. He was desperate and he needed to be filled and mated but no one was doing so. The hand holding Yoongi’s wrist yanked him forward and Yoongi’s body fell forward a bit without much hesitation. Wide gray eyes looked up into Taehyung’s as he used the rag to wipe his forehead now that he was leaning outside of his nest. Taehyung wasn’t a monster, he wasn’t going to get in the nest unless the other said it was okay. The need was growing in the elder and it was getting to the point where he didn’t care who was filling him he just wanted someone. So in an act to fulfill his needs Yoongi tugged on Taehyung’s arm and pulled him into the nest. The younger landing on top of him. A knee was pressed between his legs and Yoongi didn’t hesitate to grind down on it. “Taehyung, please. I need you, you said you were going to help me, so help me!” he practically cried and he could hear the breath hitch from above him. “I can’t and you know it. Even if I did help you through this heat I couldn’t really satisfy you, I don’t have a knot. On top of that, you don’t want me, not really.” the younger growled out as he pulled himself back and out of the nest. The white-haired omega let out a whimper as the space around him turned cold again and he rolled onto his side to hold his stomach. A small hiccup escaped his lips as the pain ran through his body, heat spreading like lava through his veins and a splintering headache. Why did no one want him? Was it because he was a used and broken omega? Another sob left his lips as the emotions he has been holding back along with his omega were coming loose. “Why! Why does no one want me now that I need someone! Every other time I refused and fought them they forced themselves on me but now! Please, I feel so empty.” he cried out his hands moving from his waist to cover his face as he let his emotions loose. “I-I won’t fight this time, I-I promise to be a good omega.” he continued as he shook on the bed. “Hyung?” Taehyung asked not knowing what he was talking about or what was going on in his head. “Hyung what are you talking about? Who forced themselves on you?” he asked concern and anger bubbling up from somewhere deep inside of him. “Hajoon and Woojin, so please just this one time.” he cried softly into his hands and Taehyung couldn’t help but reach into his nest and pull him to the edge so that he could embrace the omega. “Shhh, you don’t mean that hyung. You don’t want them no matter how much you think you do. Your body is telling you what you want right now not your heart.” Taehyung reached back on the side table and grabbed a water bottle before handing it to him. “Drink this you are sweating, crying, and hot right?” he asked softly and Yoongi only nodded as he began to chug the water. Taehyung quickly grabbed the bottle and pulled back a bit. “Slow down! You will throw it all back up if you drink it that fast.” he scowled softly before letting go of the bottle. Taehyung waited until he was done drinking to take the bottle back and place it on the floor. He turned back to the omega and stroked his hair as he began to relax in his arms. “Sleep, for now, I will be here when you wake up,” he said softly and all he got was a small nod before the other was fast asleep. The beta waited a few moments before laying Yoongi down on his bed and covering him up before standing and making his way out of the room. He slowly closed the door behind him and nearly jumped out of his skin when a voice spoke to him. “How is he?” Hoseok spoke up to Taehyung, he had been sitting on the floor outside of his room. Taehyung had jumped at his voice and normally Hoseok would laugh but he was a bit worried at the moment. “Is he okay?” he continued to ask when Taehyung said nothing. “He is asleep right now, but he is very emotional. I think he has some things he still isn’t telling anyone, some horrible things.” Taehyung added the second part a bit quieter than before. “How long have you been out here Hobi?” the blonde asked and the orange-haired omega looked off to the side to think before answering the other member. “I came by a few minutes after Jimin left the room dropping off supplies,” he said once he figured he had the right time in his head. “That long! Why would you sit out here for so long?” he questioned worriedly as he looked down at his friend. “In case you needed something, I wanted to make sure I was here to help whenever you need it,” he said without any hesitation and smiled brightly up at Taehyung. “Though I’m glad you haven’t needed me yet, that means thing are going well right?” he asked a softly as if scared of the answer. Taehyung sighed a bit and before he could make a move or say anything else the alpha was standing up and right in front of him. He leaned forward and smelled where Yoongi had been pressed against his chest moments before. The alpha shuttered a bit from the smell before pulling away slowly and a bit reluctantly. “Sorry Tae he just smells so strong.” Hoseok’s voice was lower now and husky with want. He tried to suppress the feeling but even Tae could see through his poor attempt. “When are you going to court him?” The other asked and Hoseok just snapped his gaze up to meet the betas. “Soon I’m hoping. I have the first gift but Namjoon and I thought it better to wait until this thing with Jimin blows over.” He said a bit sorrowfully and Taehyung felt a bit bad for him. “Ahh, where is Jungkook?” He asked and Taehyung didn’t miss the way Hoseok looked down and away from him. Raising an eyebrow he made a move towards the kitchen and living but found he couldn’t move. Hoseok had grabbed him by the shoulder to stop him. He sighed deeply and looked him right in the eyes, Tae tried to look for answers there. He got none. “They are cuddling watching Supernatural.” Slipped from his lips and it was honestly the last thing Taehyung was expecting to say to him. “Who?” He asked a bit confused after all who would he cuddle up to and watch Supernatural with? “Him and Jimin.” The other said softly and Taehyung hoped he had heard wrong. “W-What? Already?” He asked but he felt a bit ashamed he let the stutter come through as he held back his betrayal. Jungkook and Taehyung decided they would watch Supernatural together because the other had never seen it. He brought his hand up to his covered chest and gripped the fabric above his heart. He looked away from Hoseok and headed towards the living room to see for himself. As he came to the end of the hall he slowed and peeked around the corner. Just like Hoseok said Jungkook had his arm thrown over the back of the couch behind Jimin, his fingers played with the fabric of the shirt on his shoulder. Pressed against his side was a sleepy looking Jimin with bright pink hair and lips almost the same color. He felt his airway close up a bit and he ducked back into the hallway so he wasn’t seen. The hand over his heart still clutched his shirt as he breathed in and out harshly. What was going on? Wasn’t Jimin dealing with some sort of trauma? Why was Jungkook opening up like this and so quickly to someone who isn’t even officially part of the pack yet? Was it because he was a beta? Was Jungkook just waiting for another omega to come by and just led Taehyung on for shits and giggles? Was he just a placeholder until he met an omega? Memories from his past threatened to come forward as the same feelings swirled in his gut. Tears built up and soon traveled slowly down his cheeks as he tried to calm his breath. His brain trying to figure out what he had done wrong but he couldn’t think of anything. He turned and peeked back over the corner and he saw Jimin with his eyes closed, maybe asleep, while Jungkook rested his head on Jimin’s and watched the show with a small smile on his face. It was like something snapped and soon the tears stopped as he looked at the pair on the couch. He didn’t have time to worry about what could be when he had Yoongi in his room going through heat. His hyung needed him and he wasn’t about to bring all these feelings and emotions into that. He turned back around and headed back to Yoongi’s room.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“You’re so pretty, my beautiful Taehyung.” a deep voice whispered into his ear as a hand ran along his jaw before it grabbed his face. The hold wasn’t painful but it was possessive and strong. “You will be such a good mate to me Taehyung.” The voice continued to praise him as the hand slid down his neck and gripped his shoulder. The other male leaned forward and lips grazed over his ear as he spoke again. “Aren’t you excited? You will be the pack alpha’s mate.” The voice questioned but it was more of a statement than an actual question.“Yes Alpha, I can’t wait.” Taehyung’s sweet voice rang out as he looked up into the eyes of his future mate and smiled. “I can’t wait to be yours and you mine.” The smile grew into its usual boxy shape but it faltered when the hand on his shoulder disappeared.“Oh, you will definitely be mine but I belong to no one.” The deep voice turned cold and Taehyung searched his lover’s eyes for something but he saw nothing. “You won’t have to wait long, you will be becoming of mating age soon.” It was then that Taehyung’s eyes stopped showing unconditional love and admiration, fear-filled its place after that.Taehyung was staring into the mirror as the memories forced their way back into his head, his eyes still holding onto the fear he felt back then. He willed himself not to remember the rest, to leave it at that for today. He wasn’t sure if he could leave the bathroom today if he was forced to relive that month of his life all over again, once was enough. Luckily, he didn’t have to run back to Yoongi’s room, the omega had just gotten over his heat and was sleeping off the pain and exhaustion of it all. Taehyung had just gotten out of the shower so he didn’t smell like an omega in heat anymore. He wrapped himself in his towel and walked back to his room rather quickly. Once inside he was happy to see that Hoseok was missing from the room and pushed his hand under his mattress to pull out his bottle of pills. He opened the small white bottle and dumped a single pill into his hand before swallowing it dry. After years of taking it, he really didn’t need water anymore as his throat showed no hesitation in swallowing the pill. Taehyung pulled out a shirt and pair of pants without really looking or caring if they matched, he was far too hungry and tired to care. He spent the last 5 days caring for Yoongi and during that time he did very little of both things. Though there was nothing Taehyung could really do about his pain it didn’t stop him from worrying and worrying tended to kill his appetite. Also sleeping was nearly impossible with how much tossing, turning, and groaning in pain Yoongi was doing so he spent most of his time studying for school. When he did try to sleep and all of that didn’t wake him Yoongi would and Tae was never too happy about it. After all the white-haired omega was always trying to seduce him into relieving the pain and the beta was not down for that at all. Even if it wasn’t for Hoseok Taehyung just didn’t see the omega that way. Taehyung spritzed himself with the bottle by his bed before adjusting his shirt as he left the room and headed towards the kitchen. It was around lunchtime but even if it wasn’t the blonde was starved as he searched the fridge for some leftovers from dinner. He found a few items and reheated them in the microwave before taking a seat at the island and enjoying his food. A moan escaping his lips at the taste spread over his tongue and down his throat to his awaiting belly. A noise sounded behind him and he looked over his shoulder expecting to see Yoongi. He wasn’t so fortunate as he looked at the pink haired omega from across the room. He must have been in the living room and came into the kitchen when he heard Taehyung moving things around. He looked flustered under the blonde’s gaze and it was then that he realized the other must have been reading. On the floor in front of the other laid a book he must have dropped though he couldn’t think why. Looking back to the other’s face he could see a blush covering his face but Taehyung just turned back to his food. “If you leave the book like that it will damage the spine.” The blonde spoke after he swallowed the food he had been chewing. He heard some movement behind him but didn’t look back around as he put another chopstick full of food into his mouth. “Ahh sorry I didn’t mean to drop it.” A voice spoke softly behind him and Taehyung raised an eyebrow to himself as he thought about how nice the other's voice was. He wanted to be mad at the omega but was it really his fault at all? It wasn’t like Jungkook and him were dating though he thought they were heading that way. Though they weren’t dating didn’t mean they hadn’t been close to kissing a few times over the past few weeks. Also, the omega was obviously hurting but trying to hide it from the beta but that wasn’t his business either. “It’s fine. It’s not my book though and Jin will kill you if he sees one of his books ruined no matter who did it.” It’s not the omega’s fault and it isn’t Jungkook’s if anything it was his for waiting so long to tell Jungkook about his feelings. His eyes were now downcast as he looked into his bowl of rice before bring his chopsticks to the bowl and collecting some to put into his mouth. “So, this is hyung’s book.” A sweet voice said and Taehyung could tell the other was getting closer. Soon the sound of a stool moving next to him was heard and out of the corner of his eye, he could see the pink haired omega sitting next to him looking at the cover of the book. He was about to take another bite when a small growl emitted itself from the other’s belly. Taehyung couldn’t help but look over at the omega and raise a brow. “You are hungry? Why didn’t you grab something from the fridge?” he asked and he could visibly see the other shrink into himself. Now looking at the other he could see healing bruises that showed up yellow on his skin. He saw bandages and band aid’s on him before his eyes fell to the mark on his neck. Shocked and confused he spoke without thinking. “You are mated?” The pink-haired omega stiffened like a board instantly and his eyes snapped to stare off straight ahead of him. The mark looked relatively new but it was healing and it looked rather ugly, it looked like someone had tried to rip his throat out. The bite wasn’t clean and looked like he had adjusted his mouth a few times and it seemed the mate had favored his left side because the right side had barely left a mark. Would a mating bite like that even stick? The mate had done such a poor job Taehyung wouldn’t be shocked if his body rejected the mating bond. “I-I he.” He tried to speak and Taehyung could tell it wasn’t something he wanted to talk about and by the looks of the mark, it wasn’t something he enjoyed either. Normally a mating bite hurt but it hurt more if the bite wasn’t correct so Taehyung dropped it. The blonde got up from his seat and dished out more food before warming it up and placing it in front of the omega. “Eat, you need the strength so you can heal.” He said softly but his voice was deep and a blush crawled over the omega’s cheeks again as he looked down at the food. The omega looked up and across the island where Taehyung still stood from placing the other’s food down. His hazel eyes looked over his face and soon landed on his eyes, a smile broke out on his face. The omega’s eyes turned into crescent moon’s as his cheeks rose from the smile spreading over his features and Taehyung was sure his breathing stopped for a second. “Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are.” The smile was still on his face but it was more relaxed and his eyes were open as they watched him. “I-well-yes but…” he cleared his throat and lowered his head to hide whatever face he may have been making at the other before taking his seat again. “Jin is just as beautiful, now eat.” He said as he went back to eating. The look that came over his face when he asked the other about the mating bite reminded him a lot of Yoongi when he first came here and that scared him. Seeing the smile on the omega’s face warmed a part of him and he felt bad about the feeling of jealousy and anger he had originally felt towards the omega. It was unfair of him to treat the other any differently than Yoongi just because of something in his past. “Thank you Kim Taehyung-ssi.” That same sweet voice said next to him and even a cold-hearted bastard couldn’t be mad at someone as sweet and cute as Jimin seemed to be. The blonde-haired man turned to the side to look at Jimin showing him a small boxy smile as reassurance. “Just Taehyung or Tae is fine.” He said softly before turning back to his food. “Tae.” Was spoken quietly beside him as if the other was testing his name and Taehyung couldn’t help but smirk around the chopsticks in his mouth.“What are you two doing?” a familiar voice sounded behind him and Taehyung tried to not think about the past few days. He did not have to relive the deep husky tone Yoongi used when he tried to get his way. “Hyung!” an excited Jimin said beside him and the sound of a stool moving could be heard beside him. Taehyung half turned to see Jimin quickly running to Yoongi and pulling him into a tight embrace. “How are you feeling? Are you okay? Do you need something?” the worried omega fretted as he pushed further into the embrace and rubbed a wrist into the side of his neck. “I’m fine, I just haven’t had a heat in a really, really long time. I didn’t even know I was on any medication to stop my heats. I should have thought it was odd not having them but I was a bit distracted and I know stress can also cause omega’s not to have heats so I never really thought about it.” Yoongi said as he talked to Jimin. Then he looked back up and at Taehyung as a blush spread over his face as he looked down and away from them both. “Taehyung, I wanted to apologize and thank you for having to take care of me like that. I really appreciate everything you did for me and not giving in to my demands.” He said and Taehyung couldn’t help but smile and get up so he could throw his arm around his neck and pull him into a side hug with a chuckle.“Please if I did anything, I think Hoseok would kill me.” He laughed and Yoongi looked up at him with something crossed between confusion and embarrassment. “Now come eat.” He pulled Yoongi and Jimin along back to the island as he sat Yoongi in his seat and grabbed another pair of chopsticks. He made his way back to the stools and handed the chopsticks to Yoongi before sitting next to the white-haired omega. He gestured to his food and picked up his chopsticks to continue eating and soon Yoongi followed grabbing some of Taehyung’s rice and meat.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Yoongi hyung” a soft voice called from behind him and a small smile pulled at the corner of his lips. Oh, how he had missed his voice even without his heat hazed mind saying so. The white-haired omega turned around to see an almost nervous looking Hoseok. “What’s wrong Hoseok?” He asked as he raised an eyebrow in question. Usually, the alpha wasn’t so cautious around him so the behavior was odd. The alpha looked to his feet before looking back up at Yoongi. “How are you feeling?” He asked softly as he reached a hand up to rub his neck in nervousness. “Do you still feel hot or anything?” He continued and Yoongi had to bite his lip a bit to stop from smiling further. “I’m fine now Hoseok. I’m sorry I worried you so much. Taehyung made sure I was taken care of.” He tried to reassure the other but with his words, Hoseok looked up a bit shocked. He watched as the alpha’s nose flared a bit as he sniffed and Yoongi couldn’t help the chuckle. “Not like that Hoseok.” His chuckle died off and his face relaxed as he whispered to the alpha. “Come here.” He said softly and reached out his arms for the other. Hoseok didn’t need to be told twice as he instantly stepped into Yoongi’s space. The omega pulled the alpha into a warm embrace and Hoseok’s nose ended up in the crook of his neck. The alpha breathed deeply as the smell of familiar mint hit his nose. “I…” Yoongi stopped himself and was about to pretend he wasn’t going to say something but then Hoseok moved and rubbed his neck against his. Their scents mingled together as their scent glands were rubbed against one another. A deep sigh left Yoongi’s lips and he couldn’t have stopped it even if he wanted too. The smell of vanilla and mint filled the room and Yoongi knew he couldn’t pretend he wasn’t going to say something now. “I missed you.” He spoke softly and he felt the alpha freeze against his neck, all movement stopping. For a second Yoongi was scared he said something wrong but he wasn’t going to take it back. He was finally feeling safe and comfortable for the first time in years and he wasn’t going to hide his feelings anymore. Though his worries were washed away when he felt the pressure of lips press against his neck. A deep inhale filled the omega’s lungs as he realized what was happening. After a few seconds and a few more light kisses, the lips retreated but his head still rested against his shoulder. “I missed you too Yoongi,” he said softly and Yoongi didn’t mind that he didn’t call him hyung. In this moment everything thing felt so right and even though Hoseok had to slouch over to place his head on the omega he didn’t seem to mind. A pale hand found its way into the orange locks and Yoongi couldn’t help but run his hand through it. “I need to wash the stuff you all gave me but soon you will have your sweater back,” Yoongi said softly as he continued to run his fingers through Hoseok’s locks. “Don’t.” a deep voice spoke against him and Yoongi couldn’t help a shiver at how deep and husky it sounded at the moment. “Don’t return it, keep it. I like when you wear it,” he added soon after and the omega could feel his face getting red at the comment. Yoongi felt like there was some kind of hidden message in his words but didn’t want to think on it too much right now. “Okay,” he replied softly and a moment later a knock sounded on Yoongi’s door. The omega’s hand stopped moving in his hair as he looked up and at his door. “Yoongi, we need to talk.” a voice spoke on the other side and Yoongi recognized it as Namjoon. There was nothing after that and the omega couldn’t help but feel a bit worried at the statement. Hoseok nuzzled into him again no doubt smelling the worry on him. “It will be fine whatever he wants to talk about.” the orange-haired alpha said as he pulled away from the omega and stood up straight. “I’ll leave, talk to him,” he said softly and Yoongi could only nod as he turned for the door. He opened it and Namjoon could be seen standing in the hallway. Hoseok gives him a small nod and Namjoon returns it before the other leaves and the alpha steps into the room closing the door behind him. “I think it’s time that Jimin, you, and I have a talk,” he said calmly and all Yoongi could do was nod at the alpha. “I’m worried about his mating bite and the alpha that gave it to him,” he added and Yoongi nodded once more as Namjoon sighed a bit. Yoongi walked past Namjoon and opened the door. “Jimin can you come to my room,” he called down the hall and the sound of footsteps could be heard as the other omega walked down the hall. He stopped in front of Yoongi’s door and smiled at his elder. “Hey Suga whatcha need?” he asked in his sweet angel like voice but soon his hazel eyes looked further into his room and saw Namjoon. He instantly deflated a bit but looked back to Yoongi. “You should come in we all need to talk,” Yoongi spoke calmly and softly as he looked down at his childhood friend. The pink haired omega slowly nodded his head as he walked past Yoongi and into the room. Yoongi closed the door behind them and they both took a seat on the bed while Namjoon sat in a chair that he placed in front of where they sat. “We need to talk about what happened. We need to know about how you got hurt and who you are mated with. Some of my questions are going to be tough but trust me when I say they are all necessary. I need to know who may come knocking on my door or threatening my pack if you don’t go back to where you came from. I can’t protect my pack properly if I don’t know from who I protecting them from.” Namjoon said calmly as he looked at Jimin. The pink-haired omega deflated a bit more as Namjoon spoke. “You are a part of my pack, that is if you want to be,” he added softly and Yoongi watched as Jimin looked up at him in shock. “Really? I can be in your pack? I can stay with Suga?” he asked in a cracky voice. His eyes turning glassy before tears began to fall from them. Yoongi felt like he could hear Jimin’s thoughts in that moment. ‘We don’t have to be separated again?’. Yoongi’s open eyes watered a bit as he looked away from Jimin and down at his hands in his lap. “If that is what you want.” the alpha added and Jimin couldn’t answer with his voice so he nodded fiercely. The alpha smiled at the pink-haired omega and then cleared his throat as if asking to get back on topic. “What happened after you two were separated? Do you mind telling us from the beginning?” Namjoon asked patiently and Jimin wiped his face on his sleeve before nodding at the alpha. “Once I came back to the orphanage Yoongi was gone…”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Park, don’t run!” called one of the caretakers as he sprinted down the walkway towards the orphanage. The pink-haired omega jumped up the first two steps and then ran the rest of them as he pushed open the door and stormed into the familiar building. It was mid-afternoon and around this time hyung was in his bedroom reading a book by the window. Usually, all the other kids were playing outside at this time so it was the only time the elder could read in quiet. So Jimin turned the corner in the lobby and made his way up the steps to where he knew their bedrooms where. Over the past three years, many have come and gone so now Jimin was allowed to room with his hyung and five other people. After all, there were usually 7 to a room but Jimin didn’t mind because he got to sleep next to Yoongi. During the nights sometimes the elder would have nightmares and Jimin found himself waking to the sound of whimpering next to him. Without a second thought, he always got up and moved into Yoongi’s bed so he could comfort the other omega as he slept. After all, hyung protected him from the bullies so it was only right Jimin protected his hyung from himself. Pushing the thoughts from his mind he reached the top of the steps and quickly made his way to their room. Jimin had to see a doctor today for a check-up so he got a lollipop but he asked the nurse for a second one for his friend when the caretaker wasn’t looking. The pink-haired omega smiled as he thought about the look on his hyungs face when he gave him the sweet treat. He even thought of what he would say to the elder when giving it to him, ‘I got something for you! It’s just as sweet as you Suga hyung!’ Jimin giggled just at the thought. Entering the room he looked straight to the window where Yoongi usually sat only to see no one. Confused the omega walked over to the window and looked outside into the backyard where all the kids played. Still, he didn’t see his Suga. “Suga hyung?” he called loudly as he turned from the window and looked around the room. He got no answer and he could feel a bit of fear sinking in. The omega quickly ran to the other rooms and searched each one for a white-haired omega but came up none. He even searched the bathrooms and every other room in the orphanage, with each room coming back empty he began to breathe heavily. He could hear the voices of caretakers calling his name but ignored him as he made his way to the back porch. “Suga! SUGA!!” he called louder as he threw open the back door and looked all around for his friend. Nothing, he was nowhere and the anxiety and fear that was growing in his chest was hitting him full force. It was all-consuming as he swung his head around and continued to search even into the tree line. He felt like everything was spinning and his breaths were coming in shallow gasps as he clutched his chest. No Yoongi wouldn’t have left him, they were family. They were brothers and Yoongi treated him like they were even if not by blood. His small fingers clutched his shirt tightly as he felt arms grab him and still him but he couldn’t really see who it was. Yoongi wouldn’t leave him, not like his mom and dad did. Flashes of his 8-year-old self crossed his mind as his father drove the car with him and his mother in the back seat. The 8-year-old kept asking them where they were going and what was going on but no one would answer him. The car came to a quick halt and his mother reached over him to open the door before leaning back and shoving him out of it. The pink-haired kid looked up from the sidewalk as his mother pulled the door shut and spoke to him from the rolled down the window. “You live here now, go inside the building behind you.” with that his father pulled off and Jimin quickly stood up to run after them but forgot about the step down from the curb and stumbled into the road. His left hand and knee taking the brunt of it and he quickly looked at his hand and saw the blood coming from the fresh wound. Tears filled his hazel eyes as he looked down the road to where his parents disappeared and only got up when a car honked at him to get out of the road. The young kid slowly got up and made his way back onto the sidewalk before looking up at the building. On the front of the building above the door read ‘ORPHANAGE’. When Jimin woke up he was laying in his bed looking up at the gray ceiling above him. His head rolled to his right where Yoongi’s bed was and saw it empty. The sight jolted his memory and he sat up quickly only to have the caretaker who took him to the doctors push him back down on the bed. “You should rest some more Park you had quite the tantrum earlier.” she scowled down at the omega and Jimin swatted her hand away before sitting back up again. “Where is Yoongi?” he practically yelled at the beta woman which only made her frown deepen before a small fake smile replaced it. “He was taken to a shelter, he was 16 which means he was mating age. That’s too old for an orphanage,” she explained and Jimin couldn’t help but pale at the thought. “You’re lying,” he mumbled softly as he looked down into his lap while his eyes watered again. “You’re lying! Where is Yoongi!” he yelled again as he tried to get up again to continue his search. The women sighed and grabbed him easily before she threw him back into bed. “I’m not lying and if you don’t stop we will throw you out into the streets for this behavior,” she growled down at him and Jimin couldn’t help but shrink back a bit. ------------It must have been a few weeks before anything else happened and Jimin found himself to still be grieving the loss of his best friend and brother. It was mid-afternoon and he was sitting by the window where Yoongi usually sat around this time when he was addressed. “Park Jimin.” a voice called and he turned to look at the evil witch that tricked him into leaving for the doctors so they could take Yoongi. “You’ve been adopted, get packed and meet me downstairs,” she said quickly before turning and heading towards the steps. Jimin listened to her heels click down the steps before he got up and slowly began packing. Jimin couldn’t help but think that maybe if he was adopted he could find Yoongi, he could go out and search for his friend. He could go out and find the shelter or find his new family if he was adopted. So Jimin packed quickly and met the caretaker downstairs where she led him to the car and off they went. The alpha that he met was an older gentleman who only adopted an omega to clean the house and make food. The alpha taught him some cooking and gave him some recipe books to look at and Jimin got good at cooking. The cleaning was easy and he didn’t need to be taught to do that so within a week Jimin was left to his work. The alpha was a business owner, he owned an auto repair shop so most of the day he was at work. When Jimin was done cleaning the house he was allowed to be out and about when the alpha was gone. When he was out he had to wear a collar but Jimin didn’t mind much because it kept the other alpha’s away. His new alpha, Chul, had a mate once but she had died a few years ago and needed help taking care of both the house and himself as he grew older. He wasn’t looking for another mate or plaything so Jimin didn’t have to worry about that. The old man was kind but could be strict but after a month with him he was use to it and knew how to stay on his good side. So instead of mating the younger man as a way to claim him, he used a collar. The omega walked around to shelter after shelter and asked if anyone had a Min Yoongi. No matter how many times he went and asked he always got the same answer, No. Though he didn’t give up after every no he went back home and prepared dinner for his alpha. Though some days he couldn’t go out because he was too busy with other chores or errands. Two months into his stay with this alpha and he fell ill, which worried Jimin to no end. When he went to the hospital to see what was wrong with him. They found out that he had stage four liver cancer, apparently he was a heavy drinker when he was younger and after his mate died. It was only a week after when he told Jimin he was selling him, he knew he didn’t have much longer to live and he didn’t want him to go to a shelter. Chul told Jimin about the horror stories about the shelter and Jimin couldn’t help but feel nauseous at the thought of Yoongi suffering through those things. Jimin wasn’t sure what happened to Chul after he left but he was sold to another alpha who wasn’t as kind. His new alpha Jae was wealthy and had many omegas under his care, Jimin suspected that some were gotten illegally even Jimin knew that alone alpha could only have two omega’s at a time. Jae had 5 under his care and he treated them all the same but Areum who he treated like a princess. The rest of the omega’s he would beat when he was drunk which was 90% of the time. All the omega’s were forced to share a room so when he went on his beating spree Areum would just stand behind him and watch as he ripped omega’s by their hair when they tried to run. She would watch when he slammed some against walls or when he snapped Jimin’s arm when he tried to protect Nari. During his time with Jae, he noticed how he liked to beat on Nari the most and it took him a week to figure out why. Nari was his child with Areum and Jae never wanted a child so once she was born her mother rejected her so she could stay in Jae’s good graces. From the beginning, Jimin tried to lessen her beatings by using himself as a shield to block her from the abusive sire. Nari was only 2 years old when he was taken in by Jae and he feared how long he had been beating her. In fear of being punished further the other omega’s didn’t talk to Nari so the child was behind on talking and it took a year of Jimin being with her and taking care of her before she spoke to him. Whenever he took a beating for her, helped her eat her cheerios, or get dressed in the morning he thought about Yoongi. He knew if Yoongi was in his place he would be doing the same for the child so when Jimin looked at Nari with her blonde wavy hair and gray eyes he saw a bit of Yoongi. The eyes were strikingly similar and Jimin couldn’t help but be soft and comforting to the child. “M-Min” a small voice next to him spoke and he almost dropped the glass of juice in his hands. He quickly turned around to see a 3-year-old Nari looking up at him with nervous eyes. Jimin couldn’t help but let a smile spread over his face as he looked at the small girl. Her wavy hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, which took Jimin a few tries this morning because he wanted it to be perfect. “Yes Nari.” he crouched down to eye level and smiled encouragingly at the girl, it had been the first time he heard her speak. Jimin had a feeling she was able to speak but the fear of her sire and mother hurting her made her silent. It also didn’t help that no one else talked to the small pup which only strengthened the belief. “C-Can I have my juice?” she asked sweetly but he could hear how strained her voice was from being unused all this time. Not only that but she spoke quietly as if her voice as only a whisper in the air and most probably would miss her speaking. “Yes Nari, it’s right here.” he gave her the small glass of juice and watched as she brought it up to her face and took a sip. As he watched her he couldn’t help but frown at the deep purple bruise on her hand. Jimin had been outside doing gardening work when Jae came home early and while he was outside Jae stepped on Nari’s hand. She had been on the floor coloring on a piece of paper when he came over to her and stepped on the hand that was laying flat against the paper. Upon hearing her scream in pain Jimin shot up from the garden and ran into the house and shoved the alpha without thinking. Jae stumbled back and with a deep growl charged after Jimin and tackled him to the ground. Once on top of him, he sat on his torso, Jimin struggled until the first punch connected with his cheek. His head was thrown to one side by the sit and Jimin tried to push him off again but was met with another punch to the face. At some point, he must have passed out because when he woke up he saw Nari laying against his chest crying. Closing his eyes for a second to force the memory away he opened them back up to smile at Nari as she pushed the cup towards him. He quickly grabbed it since she almost dropped it with her small hands barely being able to grip the cup. He looked at her with raise eyebrows since there was still some juice left in the cup. “For Jimin,” she said softly with a small smile on her face as she said his name fully this time. Jimin couldn’t say no to her small little baby face so he drank the rest of her juice and took her back to the room so she could lay down for a nap. Jimin pulled out a small book and opened it to chapter 2, and he read to her softly as she drifted off to sleep. He was with Jae, the five other omega’s, and Nari for 7 years before everything changed. One of Jae’s new friends came by the house and took a liking to Jimin when he was 20. After seeing Jimin he told Jae he would buy him for $20,000 and Jae jumped at the chance to earn more money. Nari was 9 when Jimin had to leave and Nari clung to him as she sobbed into his shirt. “You can’t go! You can’t leave me Jimin!” she cried and pulled on his shirt with her small fists. Jimin looked down at her with sad and worried eyes but there was nothing he could do his only saving grace was that she was being sold in a few days to another pack. One that he looked into and thought they would be good to the not yet presented pup. “I have to leave Nari and in a few days so will you. You will move into a pack that will take good care of you.” he leaned down and kissed the top of her head before crouching and looking her straight into the eyes. “Promise me you will be a good girl until then. Don’t give him a reason to hit you. I won’t be here to protect you sweetie.” he brushed some strands of blonde hair back and rubbed his thumb over her cheek so he could brush away some tears. She nodded her small head and Jimin smiled softly at her once more before getting up and walking to the awaiting car. Hyo was his name and if Jimin thought that Jae was a demon than Hyo was satan. Hyo wasn’t like Jae in some aspects like how he only had one omega and how he didn’t need to be drunk to beat him. Unlike Jae, Hyo wanted a mate and a pup but he wanted them from Jimin and only Jimin. Everytime Jimin went into heat Hyo would bed him and while he forcefully knotted Jimin he would bite deep into his scent gland. Each time the mating bite would not hold and the bite would fade away. His omega wouldn’t accept his bite and even though Jimin was in heat and more likely to become pregnant he never did. So every time Hyo’s bite faded he would beat him and then throw Jimin into the closet and leave him in there for three days no food, no water. Then he would pull him out and beat him again before throwing some scraps into the floor and locking him in his room. Jimin found himself drinking from the sink in the bathroom more times than a glass or bottle. He was lucky his room was attached to a bathroom or else he would have died in the first month. 2 years passed like 20 and Jimin had more scars on his back and chest than he cared to look at. Over the past years, Hyo was beating and biting him more than ever before especially after he lost a pup 1 year and a half in. Even though Jimin didn’t want a pup from Hyo he couldn’t find himself hating the pup growing inside of him. One night when Hyo brought a friend over from some gang he was in Hyo went back to the shed to grab some gun and left the alpha and Jimin alone together. When his alpha came back he saw a crying Jimin bent over the table while his friend tried to unbuckle his pants. Nothing happened luckily but in a jealous rage Hyo threw him to the ground and started to kick him. It must have been five kicks in when blood started to leak from him as a crippling pain filled his abdomen. Hyo blamed him for the loss of their child but they both knew it had been Hyo’s kicks to the stomach that killed their child. He was only 6 weeks along but he could feel the moment he lost the baby. When Hyo was at work sometimes he was allowed to go to the park as long as he had his mark on him. Though they both knew it wouldn’t take Hyo still wanted it to show that he was taken and not free. So Jimin would take a walk through the park as he picked up some dry cleaning or went to the bookstore to read. It had been a week since he last visit through the park when things changed again. 2 years and with nothing to show for it Hyo came home so calm it scared Jimin as he cleaned the dishes from dinner. Once it was all done Hyo grabbed Jimin by his pink locks and threw him against a wall before moving in with a knife he grabbed from the counter. “You are a useless omega who can’t even bear children! Why would I keep you around!” he spoke sternly and calm as if they were just sitting down having a conversation. “I’m going to kill you and with you gone I will have enough room for the omega I just adopted from the shelter,” he growled this time as he plunged the knife towards him and Jimin moved to dodge but was too slow. Jimin doesn’t remember how long he struggled against Hyo but he remembered grabbing the cast iron pan from its spot drying on the counter. Hyo had thrown him into the counter and without thinking he grabbed the pan and swung it at Hyo’s head. The pan fell out of his hands after because of how bad they were shaking and with it, Hyo fell too. His head was bleeding and he was groaning as he reached for his now injured head. Jimin didn’t wait another second as he ran for the door and ripped it open as his legs carried him away from Hyo. He didn’t know how long he ran for but when his foot hit a step to the child jungle gym he knew he was in the park. A sob ripped its way through his lungs as he crawled up the steps and into the tub so he could hide from Hyo if he came looking. Soon things went black and Jimin wasn’t sure if he had fallen asleep or passed out. Some time passed and soon the smell of mint filled the space around him and he couldn't help but smile as he thought about Yoongi. How many time had he dreamt of his friend coming and saving him? How many times had Yoongi come to take him away from Hyo or Jae in his dreams?
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi was frozen as he listened to Jimin talk about his life and what it was like when he wasn’t there. He was angry and sad but for more than because he wasn’t there. How could anyone do something like this to another person no matter their secondary gender.So when Jimin finished talking and everything was said Yoongi found himself crying but not for himself but for Jimin. For all the things he had to go through mostly alone while Yoongi wasn’t there. Yoongi trembled as he sat next to Jimin on the bed. The white-haired omega raised a shaking hand and placed it on his shoulder facing his little brother. Jimin turned to meet him and Yoongi could see the tears threatening to fall as he relived the past years over again. Yoongi then pulled him into a huge hug as they both cried into each other’s neck. The scents of one another bringing a small comfort to the both of them. “Jimin I’m so sorry. I wish I was there to protect you.” Yoongi sobbed into the strong smell of orchids and he could feel Jimin shake his head. “I’m glad you weren’t. I wouldn’t want you to go through anything like that or see me like that. It’s not your fault.” He spoke in a trembling voice but soon pulled away and looked into Yoongi’s eyes. “It’s not my fault either. They all know what they’ve done and they will get what’s coming to them.” His eyes spoke resolve and a strength that Yoongi has never seen before. Yoongi was shaking for a whole other reason now as anger bubbles deep in his chest. A growl threatened to escape his throat as his eyebrows pulled together but before anything could happen Jimin spoke up again. “Revenge is an empty thing Hyung. Hurting them like they hurt me will make you just as bad as them.” He spoke in a sweet voice as he looked at Yoongi softly. “When did you become so wise?” Yoongi questioned as his anger cooled down and a feeling of helplessness replaced it. Everything was done, there was nothing Yoongi could do now. “Mmm, I’ve always been this wise you just didn’t see it until now.” Jimin offered a small smile but it was still sat. “I miss my baby, I mean I know it was only 6 weeks but…I wanted to be better for them. I’ve had my time to grieve but I’ll always feel that loss. Nothing and no one can replace that whole but I can’t have my own feelings hold me back. Now I’m not only living for them but myself as well.” Jimin raised a hand to run it through Yoongi’s locks and the elder omega couldn’t help the small sob that left him. Yoongi pulled Jimin into another embrace and they held each other for a while before they pulled away. Both omegas wiping their faces of tears and that was when Yoongi remembered Namjoon. He turned his head to the alpha sitting in the chair and he saw a sad smile on his face before it evened out and he turned to Jimin. “I’m sorry Jimin but I still have to ask some questions.” The other omega nodded in understanding before he went on. “This Hyo do you think he will come looking for you?” He asked softly and he was answered with a shake. “Okay, soon we will take you to Jin hyungs clinic for a check up to make sure everything is okay. Do you remember Jae’s full name and Chul’s?” He asked again still with the same amount of softness in his voice. “I remember it all. I’ll write it down for you and I appreciate the clinic visit. I think the last time I went to a doctor was at the orphanage.” Jimin said in a small voice as he looked to Yoongi. “You can give me that at breakfast. I’ll leave you two together.” He said softly before getting up and heading towards the door. He opened it but before leaving he looked back at them on the bed and smiled softly and a bit sadly. “Welcome to the pack Park Jimin.” He gave a small nod before leaving them in Yoongi’s room. Jimin turned to Yoongi with a small smile on his face and puffy eyes from crying. “Can I stay with you tonight Suga hyung?” He asked and Yoongi could only nod as they moved to crawl into bed. Yoongi turned off the side light and then they were in the dark. “Do you want me to hum Minnie?” Yoongi asked softly as he laid down under the blankets. As soon as he was situated Jimin pressed into his side and snuggled up close to his hyung. “Please” a soft voice spoke into his neck and Yoongi relaxed into his hold and let his mint smell fill the room. He could hear the younger hum in happiness below him. Yoongi smiled softly and pressed his lips together so he could hum the tune of their past the same one his mother hummed to him. ———-The morning came quicker than usual Jimin thought as he sat up from the warm bed. He looked around and saw Yoongi curled up like usual beside him and Jimin pulled the covers up so he wouldn’t get cold with Jimin leaving. Once Yoongi was taken care of he got up and pulled on a black sweatshirt from Yoongi’s closet. He softly closed the door behind him and turned to walk to the kitchen when he ran into someone. A hand darted out to steady him and he looked up just as the soft smell of lavender passed his nose. “Hey, you okay?” A deep voice asked and Jimin looked up into slightly worried eyes. Jimin blinked his long lashes in confusing before he snapped back. “Oh, Taehyung I’m sorry. I wasn't look-“ he was stopped when a hand reached up and rubbed under his eye. The hand was big and warm and it felt nice against his cheek. Jimin blinked up at Taehyung in a bit of shock. “Were you crying?” He asked so softly Jimin looked down and bit the inside of his cheeks. During the night he re-lived some of the beating and name calling before and must have cried a bit in his sleep. Taehyung was worried for the omega as he ran his hand through the pink strands so his hand wasn’t still on his face. Once his hand was done it landed on his shoulder and he poked his neck softly so Jimin would look at him. “Can I scent you with my wrist?” He asked as the finger on his neck fell to rest on his shoulder again. He didn’t want to make the other feel uncomfortable but he wanted to comfort him. He got a small nod from the omega and Taehyung smiled a small boxy smile before pressing his wrist against his gland and rubbing it softly. The smell of herbs pressed to his neck but Jimin could see smell the lavender under it all. “Taehyung do you have two scents?” He asked softly and before he knew it Taehyung’s wrist was gone quickly and he looked a bit startled. “I-I…. It must be my cologne.” He said softly before turning his back to the omega and looking over his shoulder at him. “I’ll see you at breakfast.” The deep voice sent a small shiver down Jimin. With that Taehyung turned to enter his room and left Jimin alone in the hallway. Jimin blinked a few times and ran a hand through his hair just like Taehyung did and smiled as a small blush filled his cheeks. His hand fell from his head and ran down his neck to press against the scent or herb and lavender clinging to him. He made his way down the hallway and into the kitchen where he saw Jin and Namjoon. The beta was making food at the stove while. Namjoon was behind him with his large arms wrapped around the man’s torso. The alphas head was resting on his mate's shoulder as he pressed kisses to his neck and scent gland. Jin poorly suppressed a shiver as he flipped an egg and used the butt of the spatula to hit Namjoon’s head. “Joonie not here.” He growled at his alpha softly but shrieked a bit when Namjoon licked the side of his neck. A deep chuckle rumbled through his chest but then he let go and looked at Jimin. He must have finally smelled him now that his nose wasn’t pressed against Seokjin’s neck. “Ahh, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to intrude.” Jimin quickly spoke as he looked around but not at them. “No it’s Namjoon’s fault he shouldn’t be harassing me while I’m cooking. Though anywhere else is fair game.” The beta chuckled and looked over at Jimin. “So be warned Jimin.” He smiled as he turned back to cooking. Namjoon left his side and disappeared into the living room returning with a pen and sticky note. “For the name.” He clarified and Jimin nodded slowly before taking the pen and paper so he could write down the names. He then handed everything back to Namjoon and he took it and went back down the hall. Once alone with Jin, he walked over to the island and sat down to watch him. “Any allergies or favorite foods?” He asked quietly and when Jimin didn’t say anything Jin spoke again. “Ahh, I know my beauty tends to render people speechless take your time hun.” He laughed softly and turned to look at Jimin with a smile. “They don’t call me worldwide Handsome for nothing.” He smirked and turned back to his work. “I don’t have any allergies and my favorite foods are any kind of meat or fruit.” He smiled as he watched the black hair beta work. Jimin wasn’t sure why but Jin was easy to talk too and open up too. The elder hummed in acknowledgment as he moved from the oven to plate the food and began to set the table. Jimin jumped up and began to help Jin bring things to the table. A soft laugh left Jin as he turned to look at Jimin. “You are just like Yoongi. Helping me set the table so polite who taught you your manners?” He asked softly and Jimin smiled over at Jin. “Yoongi hyung mostly, my parents didn’t really care about me enough to teach me anything. When Yoongi hyung came to the orphanage he practically beat them into me.” Jimin laughed at the memory as he placed down a plate of food. “Mmm, I could see him doing that,” Jin said as he placed the last plate down and looked over to Jimin with a smile. “Can you call everyone for breakfast? Oh, Jungkook isn’t here so don’t worry about him. If Yoongi asks tell him Jungkook didn’t want to bother him.” Jimin nodded though he was a bit confused with that statement. He walked down the hall and knocked on all the doors and each one opened and he told them breakfast was ready. He got to Yoongi’s door and walked in to see the omega still sleeping. He walked over and softly shook the other. “Suga hyung it’s time to get up. Breakfast is ready.” He said and Yoongi slowly woke. When his eyes met Jimin’s a smile spread over his face. “Morning Jimin. Did you sleep okay?” He asked and Jimin just nodded no use making him worry this early in the morning. After all, it was to be expected after he re-told his story just yesterday. “Oh, I was told to tell you Jungkook left earlier this morning. He didn’t want to bother you.” Jimin said as the elder sat up and yawned. He grunted in understanding as it made sense to him. “What does that mean hyung?” He asked softly. “Oh, the members usually come in and tell me when they leave. We usually scent each other or just so I know where they are.” He said easily as he got up and started to change. Jimin looked at the wall as he changed just out of respect. “Why do you need to know that or why do they care?” He asked softly as he tilted his head to the side. Pink locks shifted as he did so. “Oh well, it’s just something they do. I guess they could just text me but I think they like scenting me.” He laughed as he pulled a shirt on before pants. “Though I like it too. I hope you don’t mind scenting because they are pretty big on it.” Yoongi laughed softly as he walked towards Jimin and threw an arm around his shoulder. He pulled him close and pressed his nose to his neck. “Though it seems Taehyung has already got to you.” He laughed. “Breakfast hyung.” He laughed as he tried to hide his blush and they both moved toward the door as Yoongi chuckled softly in his ear.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Once I mate you Taehyung I can finally take over this pack and change it’s stupid ‘progressive’ thinking.” a deep growl came from the alpha next to him and Taehyung couldn’t help but shiver at the thought. He once viewed the moment of them mating happily but as his 16th birthday grew closer he was filled with dread.“Only for that reason alpha?” Taehyung asked softly as he side-eyed his to be mate. As the days grew closer he started to notice how distant Kyu started to become. He no longer caressed Taehyung’s cheek before he kissed him, no longer pulled him into an embrace when he noticed he was being shy or was uncomfortable. He rarely saw Kyu’s eyes on him anymore, long gone were the caring looks and heart eyes he use to receive. Taehyung might be two years younger than the alpha but he wasn’t stupid, he knew when he had been played. Oh and how Kyu played him. Greed and ambition were what made Kyu who he was but he thought nothing when the alpha started to become friendly with him at the age of 13. He was newly presented and Taehyung thought the other was generally interested in him so he didn’t hesitate to fall hard and fast for him. Kyu didn’t want his heart but the title that came with mating the son of the pack alpha, he wanted to be the new pack alpha. Taehyung’s eyes watered a bit as he stood next to the man he once loved and maybe he still did but he knew he shouldn’t. “I will not mate someone who doesn’t love me,” he spoke lowly as he mustered all of his courage and looked over to the alpha next to him. “Excuse me, what did you just say?” Kyu growled out and Taehyung faced him and stared back at him challengingly.“Did I stutter? I said I will not mate someone who doesn’t love me and you Kyu, do not love me. You only want the title that comes with bedding me.” he growled out this time and Kyu grew red with anger as he looked down at the 15-year-old. “You’re right Taehyung I am done pretending. I’ve been keeping this up for 3 years! I don’t want you, in fact, I could care less if you died after we’ve mated. I already know who my real mate is and she is way better than a naive 15-year-old.” the alpha smirked as he began to lean forward and Taehyung couldn’t help but lean back in response. “‘While I’m filling you with my pups I will be thinking of her and wishing it was her. When I’ve mated you I will then claim her and when you both bare my pups I will make sure hers and mine lead this pack.” he pat at the younger before grabbing his chin and forcing his chin up so he could lick down his neck and over his scent gland. Taehyung struggled against his hold but was only released when Kyu was done and shoved his face away. Tears burned his eyes as he held back a cry from escaping his throat but he failed when a whimper left him. “How weak. Oh and don’t bother telling your parents they know. They were even the ones to who asked me to seduce you so they would have a strong alpha leader after your father passes. I guess even they could see how much better I am than the other alphas in our pack.” he chuckled as he left Taehyung in his room. ------------“I can’t renew your prescription.” a voice broke through his thoughts. His head snapped up so fast he was concerned that he may have broken his neck if it was any faster. He looked at the Doctor in front of him with eyes filled and overflowing with both fear and confusion. “What do you mean?” he asked confused as he looked around the room as if trying to search for the answer to his question. “I’ve been on it since I was 13 and I’ve had no problem until now.” he wanted to argue with the male but tried to stay polite. The last thing he wanted to do was get thrown out at a time like this. “Well, it wasn’t a problem before because the medication was still around. It has been discontinued so we can’t write out anymore for this brand. After all, it has been around for over 10 years. New and improved medication has been developed, it was just a matter of time before it happened. The Doctor informed him with an understanding face while he relayed the information. “Okay then can you write me one for a newer medication?” he asked as he processed the information being told to him. It made sense so there was no reason to worry. “Of course but now that we are switching medication I will need a permission slip from your alpha or pack leader.” the Doctor said as he turned and reached into a folder to pull out what must have been a permission slip. “What? Why can’t you just use the last one, the one for the previous medication,” he said defensively and the Doctor turned to frown at him. “Mr. Kim that was from 10 years ago plus it was only for that one med. I need a new one for this one. I’m sure it will be fine after all he has had you on it for this long.” the Doctor smiled reassuringly.“No…Well, I have a new alpha. I mean I’ve been with him for a few years now but he, he doesn’t know. None of my pack know.” Taehyung almost whispered that last part. The Doctor looked at him now with even more confusion. Then he reached up and pulled down the white mask he wore and breathed in deeply. “Oh, oh my. Mr. Kim, you can get in a lot of trouble for a stunt like this.” the Doctor said warningly. “Are you telling me you have been hiding the fact you are an omega from your alpha or pack?” he asked as he turned to open his medical folder. Taehyung almost flinched as he was called an omega and he looked down at his feet in anticipation of a scolding. Though after a few minutes the only sound in the room was that of pages turning nothing happened. “Mr. Kim I am legally bound to inform your alpha of this. You can’t hide behind suppressants and scent blockers.” he scolded but then his face softened as he looked at the younger man he has been seeing since he was 13 and just presented. “I will give you two weeks to tell him and if you don’t before that time I will. I will get your new alpha’s information from the omega log,” he added before placing the folder down and pushing his mask back up. “Tell them before I have too.” the man spoke softly before standing up and handing the permission slip to him. “You can leave when you are ready.” with that the Doctor left him in the room alone. What was he going to do know that he wasn’t allowed any more suppressants, he relied on them to stop his heats, his instincts, and to numb his scent though it didn’t block it completely. He had to use scent blockers for that and the only reason the Doctor was finding out about that now was because he took his mask off. Doctor’s were required to wear them while working in case an alpha went into a rut, an omega into heat, or to avoid getting sick. “Fuck”-----------------Taehyung found himself at his front door just standing outside, he had told his pack he had left to study at the library. The blonde looked at the wood in front of him until a hand came down on his shoulder startling him. His head snapped to the side and he saw a small smiling pink-haired omega looking back at him. “Jimin don’t do that. You scared the crap out of me.” he slightly hissed but he tried to hold back his sour mood. It wasn’t right to take it out on the other when he did nothing wrong, he knew the omega met well. “Oh sorry, Taehyung I just didn’t see you walk by. Jin hyung told me to grab the mail,” he said softly as he looked up into Taehyung’s face and he couldn’t help but feel worried under his gaze. “Are you okay? You don’t look so well,” he spoke softly as the smaller male reached up and placed a hand on his head to test his temperature. A small frown formed over his plump lips and Taehyung couldn't help but watch them move with emotion. Seeming unsatisfied with the test he pulled his hand away and softly placed his hands on either side of his face so he could softly bring it down to meet his. The pink-haired male scrunched his brows in focus as he pressed their foreheads together to better test his temperature. In this position, Taehyung took the opportunity to take a better look at him and he couldn’t help but find himself holding his breath. Jimin was practically the perfect definition of the word and classification of omega. He was small in stature with small hands that just covered Taehyung’s jaw. He was paler than Taehyung but still had a small hint of honey to his skin tone. His lips were perfect in every definition of the word with how big and pink they were. Taehyung was half tempted to close the gap and feel them against his thinner lips. A small gap was between them and Taehyung could almost imagine capturing his lips and sliding his tongue between the gap so he could gain access to his mouth. A groan tried to escape his lips but he held it in, he didn’t want to disturb this moment yet. Jimin’s nose was straight looked almost perfect from the front aside from his slightly larger nostrils but he couldn’t help but feel it made him cuter. From the side, he knew that the omega had a small bump in the bridge of his nose but it fit him and gave him more character. His eyes were the perfect size for his face and he has pretty almost soft monolids. It was when he got to his eyes did he notice that hazel eyes were looking directly at him. He had been caught and all Taehyung did was blink in shock and embarrassment. Then before he knew what he was doing his mouth was opening and speaking before he could process what he was about to say. “You’re very pretty Park Jimin.” It was out before he could stop himself and he wanted to smack himself for speaking without thinking. Though to his surprise, the male in front of him smiled at him brightly as he pulled his face away so he could laugh into his hand. His eyes closed almost completely as he laughed and the formed a perfect crescent shape in the wake of his giggles. A moment passed with Taehyung still staring at him in awe before Jimin responded. “You are very handsome yourself Kim Taehyung. You have the best smile I’ve ever seen and don’t get me started out your eyebrows.” another laugh left his lips as he looked up at the taller pack member. “I love when you wear that bandana while you study in the living room. It shows off your forehead and perfect eyebrows.” he smiled but Taehyung could see a blush starting to form over his cheeks. “Oh yeah?” he smirked and flirted a bit at the other omega. After pushing past his first thought on Jimin and seeing the other as he is Taehyung found himself relaxed in his presence. Jimin also seemed to have the power to make Taehyung forget where he was, what he was doing, and anything he had been worrying about before. The small pink-haired omega was far too cute to ignore and seemed to make him soft even when he didn’t want to be. He watched as the omega blushed further from his comment and hide a bit in his hands before blinking as if he remembered something. “Oh, yea Taehyung-” but before he could continue Taehyung cut him off. “Call me Tae,” he said with a soft smile directed at the other and Jimin seemed to relax a bit in his stance and smile softly. “Tae I think you should go inside. You are a bit warm and are looking paler than usual,” he said in his sweet voice. It wasn’t that the other sounded like a girl but his voice was definitely higher pitched than the rest of the pack. Taehyung found it refreshing, like a hidden spring in a desert or bells piercing through his mundane world. Though with that comment reality settled back in and Taehyung looked at the door with dread. “Right, I think I’m going to lay down for a while. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather recently,” he said quietly but Jimin heard him and nodded in understanding. “Okay Tae I’ll make sure to grab you when dinner is ready.” the other smiled at him as they both entered the house and Taehyung went to his room.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
It must have been mid-day by the time Taehyung sat up in his bed and looked out the window across from it. He had been laying in bed thinking of what he was going to do for the past 4 hours. Did he want to just ask Namjoon hyung to refill his prescription? Or did he just want to face the music? He had been hiding his true secondary gender for so long he didn’t even know what it felt like to be an omega anymore. He had taken his last pill two days ago and that was probably where Jimin could smell the lavender from. He knew by the next morning he was going to start feeling his omega instincts again and just that scared him. Should he tell everyone the truth and just live with whatever happened next? What would they all think about him, after all, he has been lying to them for 4 years. He noticed after the last hour he was starting to sweat, like a lot, more than he ever has in his life. Not only was he sweating but his body was trembling and his abdomen hurt so bad he felt like he was about to throw up. Slim arms moved around his torso as he clutched his stomach in his arms and squeezed as if it would relieve the pressure. He was feeling like trash and he couldn’t help but feel extremely thirsty as he panted in his room. Something was happening to his body and he was scared, fear of being found out clouded his mind as he tried to calm his body. He wanted to call out to someone, he wanted someone to hold him and tell him he was going to be alright. Though the fear of smelling like omega stopped him from calling out to someone as he laid in bed while his body shook and he felt like he was dying. Taehyung was hurting but was struck with even more fear when he thought about his heats. What if he was about to go into heat? A knock on the door caught his attention and his head snapped to the side as it was pressed open. Taehyung wanted to call out and tell the person to leave but he was too late as he watched the door swing softly open. In the frame stood Jimin with a small smile as he met Taehyung’s face but it soon disappeared when he saw the other’s state. The omega quickly closed the door behind him as he rushed into the room and to Taehyung’s side. “Tae what is going on? Are you okay? Should I grab Jin?” he asked frantically as the omega reached out and touched his forehead. “ You are burning up! Did you catch something? The flu or cold?” he asked as he quickly got up probably to get Jin. Before he could lift himself completely from the bed Taehyung’s hand darted out and grabbed his wrist. Taehyung watched as the omega flinched at the sudden grab and Taehyung quickly released him. He had forgotten the state in which he had joined the pack and scolded himself for being careless. The omega looked down at him with concern as he brought his hand to his chest and wrapped his fingers against the wrist Taehyung had grabbed. “Don’t leave me. Stay for a while before getting Jin,” he said softly as he looked up at the shorter male. Jimin seemed to understand and he sat back down by Taehyung’s head. The omega patted his lap softly and Taehyung smiled weakly as he moved his head so it could rest on the omega’s lap. Once comfortable the pink-haired omega began to run his fingers through Taehyung’s golden locks. The affection was enough to relax his shaking body to small tremors as he breathed in and out slowly. “What is going on Tae?” He asked softly but Taehyung said nothing as he relaxed. The fever he was experiencing was fogging his brain a bit. Jimin petted the other member for some time as he hummed to the other. Taehyung vaguely remembered the tune he was humming but he couldn’t tell from where. Though he couldn’t help but think of a piano as he listened to the tune the omega hummed. The hand in his hair slid down to rest on his forehead and upon feeling how hot he was getting Jimin moved his head and got up. Taehyung was too out of it to really care about what was going on around him as he listened to running footsteps. Soon he heard frantic talking and quickened steps around him as he weaved in and out of consciousness. ----------“Jin hyung! Jin hyung! Something is wrong with Taehyung, I think he’s really sick!” A scared voice called down the hallway as he made his way into the kitchen. The beta had been plating their dinner when Jimin called to him. “What?” He asked quickly as he placed down the plate and met Jimin halfway between the hallway and kitchen. The pink-haired omega looked scared and panicked as he looked into his hyung’s eyes. “Taehyung, he is really hot and shaking!” he said frantically and quickly Jin pushed pass the omega on his way to Taehyung’s room. He opened the door and found the beta laying in bed shaking with his eyes closed. Jin quickly went to his side and examined the younger pack mate. He had a fever and was shaking, the beta’s hands traveled the length of the other as he examined him. “He was clutching his stomach when I came in to tell him dinner was almost done,” Jimin said quickly as he tried to inform him. Though as Jin took in the symptoms it could be a lot of things that Taehyung was suffering from. Jin wanted to scream in frustration here he was a Doctor and he couldn't help Taehyung. Then everything changed when his body locked up and began convulsing on the bed. A scream was heard behind Jin but he was too focused on Taehyung to care who it was. His training kicked in and he looked around the bed so he could clear things out of the way. A book here and a piles of clothes there. He didn’t have time to check if anything sharp was in the pockets so he shoved it all off the bed. Then he walked towards the omega in case he decided to try and touch him Jin could stop them.“Jimin I need you to get my phone and call Namjoon, he is still at work though he should be leaving soon or on his way. Tell him Taehyung is having a seizure and he needs to get home now.” Jin spoke calmly but urgently as he watched Taehyung on the bed. Jimin was basically frozen as he watched Taehyung thrash uncontrollably in front of him. Luckily Yoongi had heard Jimin scream and came running in a moment later, he looked panicked as he searched Jimin before looking around the room. “Call Namjoon,” Jin said similarly to Yoongi and the omega jumped into action. “Namjoon, hurry! Taehyung-Taehyung is having a seizure! He-He is thrashing so-so badly.” the omega cried into the phone but Jin couldn’t hear the response on the other end. Though soon after the call ended and Yoongi spoke up again. “Jin what can I do?” he asked worriedly but Jin shook his head before speaking. “Take Jimin to the kitchen and wait for Namjoon,” he said and soon the older omega grabbed Jimin carefully as he led him out of the room. Seconds, after they left Taehyung’s body, started to move less and less before it finally stopped moving. Jin quickly got on the bed and turned the beta’s body and head. Vomit from the seizure spilled out of his mouth and onto the bed. Jin held him in this position until the food and liquids emptied. Then he checked his pulse and was relieved to feel a heartbeat. If Jin had to guess it lasted about 3 minutes and he was still unconscious though even if he got up they would still be going to the clinic. What if no one came to check on him? He would have drowned in his own vomit while they all sat down for dinner. Quickly Jin pushed the thoughts away as he reached down to pick up the beta. He needed to take the other down to the front door so they were ready to leave when Namjoon came back. Just as he exited the hallway the front door swung open and smacked the wall. Namjoon was panting as he looked straight at Jin and Taehyung in his arms. “Oh my god what happened?” he asked in shock as he darted forward to grab the beta so that he could carry him to the car. “I don’t know but we need to get him to the clinic to get looked at now. I don’t want him to go into another one so we should hurry just in case this isn’t over.” Jin said calmly and clearly in Doctor mode. Namjoon nodded and they both exited the house while the Alpha carried Taehyung. “You two stay here and watch the house. Get into contact with the rest of the pack and let them know what has happened. We will keep you informed when we know what is going on.” Jin quickly yelled as he followed Namjoon and closed the door behind them. Yoongi had his arms wrapped around Jimin as he watched the whole scene take place but nodded at Jin’s words. He quickly grabbed his phone and called the first person who came to mind. Jungkook.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
How many times has he read this same paragraph over and over in the past 30 minutes? Jungkook wasn’t sure but he couldn’t focus as he decided to read the same paragraph again. He had a test later this week and he didn’t want to flunk it and get held back because he would have to repeat a class important to his major. He raised his hand to run through his dark brown locks as he scanned over the sentences before him. He had been in the library all afternoon and it was even bleeding into his evening. Dinner was soon he noted as he looked up at the clock hanging on the wall in front of him. He sighed as he continued to run his hand through his hair in frustration. Not only was he sidetracked by his upcoming test but also with Taehyung. The beta seemed to be ignoring him ever since he helped Yoongi with his heat, and maybe a bit before then. He wasn’t sure but he didn’t like it, they have always been close but now Taehyung doesn’t leave his room. The thought made him frown as he looked back up from his book and to the clock on the wall in front of him. He took a deep inhale and was about to get back to work when his phone vibrated on the table next to him. He reached over and swiped open his phone to be greeted by a message from Yoongi. It wasn’t unusual for Hyung to text him so he thought nothing of it as his eyes drifted from the sender to the actual message. From: Small Hyung ‘Taehyung just had a seizure. Namjoon and Jin are taking him to the clinic.’ Jungkook had to read the message twice before he honestly understood what was going on. A seizure? Since when has Taehyung had seizures? Panic raced through his body as he quickly pocketed his phone and scrambled to grab his jacket from the chair and his book bag from the desk. Forgetting the books he darted out of the library and down the street towards the clinic. Namjoon was the only one with a car and he was with Taehyung so he couldn’t ask for a ride. He was probably talking with Jin and the Doctor’s as he ran. His instincts screamed at him to get to his beta, that his beta needed him. His alpha howled deep inside of him as he raced down the sidewalk and turned the corner sharply, he almost plowed another man over but avoided a collision. You weren’t there to protect him or comfort him his alpha growled at him and he could only hope his Taehyung was okay. His…..His Taehyung? Since when has he thought of the beta male as his? Jungkook wasn’t an idiot he knew he had a small crush on the other but when had his alpha laid claim on him without his knowing? The more he thought about it the more he realized he needed Taehyung and it wasn’t just his alpha who wanted the male. Before he could go down that rabbit hole he cut off that thought. It wasn’t the time to be thinking about things like that when Taehyung could be in trouble. A few blocks later and the alpha was running through the sliding doors and paused in the lobby. He huffed in breathes as he looked around the waiting room. His eyes caught a familiar pair as Namjoon and Jin looked up at him. “What happened? Where is he?” He asked as he made his way over to his pack leader and his mate. “We don’t know what’s going on yet. I mean I can think of a few things it could be but its best we let them take care of it.” Jin said calmly as he reached out to grip his arm as to comfort him. “Why aren’t you checking up on him? This is the clinic you work at.” Jungkook asked a bit heatedly but was quieted a bit when Namjoon sent a warning look his way. Namjoon might be one of the friendliest alpha’s you’ll ever meet and would take a verbal beating from anyone. Though if you so much as talk to Jin in any way besides friendly he will put you in your place faster than you could blink. Jungkook remembered what little bits Namjoon and Jin shared about themselves and that was enough to know he didn’t want to be on their bad sides. “It’s too personal besides I tried. The head nurse and doctor refused to let me in the room. They want to do a full examination before getting back to us. His primary physician is across town and the nurses are trying to contact him.” Jin said as he reached back and petted Namjoon’s arm to relax him as well. It was obvious tension was high at the moment and Jin was trying to be the peacekeeper. It was an hour before a doctor came out calling Taehyung’s name. The three of them stood up and the doctor made his way over to greet them. “Hello, my name is Dr. Cheol.” He spoke politely but quickly. He turned to Jin and bowed slightly. “Dr. Kim I’m sorry for what happened.” He said a bit more friendly and Jin bowed in return to the other doctor. “So we examined Mr. Kim and pulled his medical history from the files provided by his physician and found he is suffering from withdrawal.” The doctor informed them as he opened the file in hand and looked across the page. “It says here he has been on an Antiestrous for the past 11 years. Earlier this month the Antiestrous, Hetari, was discontinued due to people changing brands to newer and better-working ones.” “What?” Jungkook said as he searched his head for the right words. “Why was he on Antiestrous medication and not just regular birth control? I-I don’t understand?” He was so confused none of this made sense. “I think we need to talk privately.” That caught Jungkook’s attention and he quickly shot his head over to Jin. The elder was staring intensely at the other Doctor before he nodded in agreement. “Hey! No wait I am coming with.” Jungkook said quickly as he reached out and grabbed onto Jin’s arm so he couldn’t leave. “ I don’t understand what is going on but I need to know. Taehyung is my-” he cut himself off and found himself staring shocked up into Jin’s eyes. He couldn’t tell Jin that Taehyung was his and he needed to know what was going on with his mate. Taehyung didn’t actually belong to him and they weren’t mates so he had no ground to stand on. His grip on Jin’s arm tightened a bit in frustration before he dropped his hand and looked to Dr. Cheol. “Can I see him at least?” he asked calmly even though his alpha told him to sniff the other out and not to bother asking. He had no right to act this way and if anything him acting like that would get him kicked out. He needed to keep a level head as his pack alpha figured out what was going on with Taehyung. “He is still resting but you can sit in his room for now. He’s in room 12A.” the Doctor said before calling a nurse over to take him to the room. He nodded a small thanks to him as he watched Namjoon, Jin, and Dr. Cheol leave. The nurse informed him to follow her and he nodded softly before she began leading the way. It didn’t take long to get to 12A and once they got to the door she excused herself. The young alpha took in a small breath before opening the door and walking into the room. Everything was white and sterile looking he thought as his eyes wandered around the small room. Then he saw the bed with Taehyung resting under the sheets. The blonde haired boy looked worn out and much paler than he had the day before. His hair was flat and greasy looking from what Jungkook guessed was from sweating. Jungkook only had basic knowledge of withdrawal symptoms so he wasn’t sure what all had happened. The tall beta was wearing a hospital gown from the look of the top, he couldn’t really tell since the blanket covered most of him. The brown-haired alpha walked closer to the bed and softly moved a strand of hair that was stuck to his forehead. The man under him didn’t stir and Jungkook was a bit happy about that, Taehyung looked like he needed the rest. Once he removed his hand from Taehyung he walked across the room and sat down in the chair and watched over the beta. His alpha berated him for not being there for his mate and letting this happen and Jungkook couldn’t help but feel like it was. If he would have tried to push Taehyung a bit and see why he was avoiding him he may have noticed how different the other was acting or feeling. Maybe he could have caught it before he had a seizure, though he would never know now. -----Once they got away from the lobby and down the hall, Dr. Cheol led them into a small conference room they had at the end of the hall. Everyone entered the room and Jin quickly was asking the other Doctor questions while Namjoon stood next to him looking confused. The alpha didn’t know what had suddenly upset Jin but trusted his mate when he said they needed to speak privately without Jungkook. “What do you mean Antiestrous medication? The only secondary gender that needs them are omegas, are you telling me Kim Taehyung is an omega?” he asked sharply as he glared at the other Doctor. Hearing Jin say this seemed to throw Namjoon into another fit of shock. Not only was Taehyung suffering from withdrawal which he didn’t even know he was taking medication but now he was an omega too?“That’s exactly what I am saying, Dr. Kim. Kim Taehyung is an omega. How long has he been with you?” the Doctor asked now confused as well. Jin ignored the question as he stepped forward and spoke again. “So why didn’t his Physician do anything about it? Surely if he had known he was on that medication for 11 years he would go through withdrawal.” the beta asked in outrage as if Dr.Cheol was the one at fault. “Well, Antiestrous don’t normally cause people to go through withdrawal even if they have been taking it for years. The field has been advanced and ingredients changed to lessen the withdrawal to very minor cases. This bad of a reaction is 1 in thousands.” the Doctor informed him as his brows pulled together. “But like you said it was an older brand one that wasn’t changing with the advances in the field. That should have been taken into consideration or at least have him be monitored while the possibility of withdrawal was present.” The angry beta continued. “Shouldn’t I have been told about all of this?” Namjoon suddenly said and Jin looked back at his mate with a face that said ‘Good Point’ and then turned back to Dr.Cheol. “Well yes, you should have though his Physician told us about his situation. He wanted to give Mr.Kim time to tell you himself, after all, it is a right given to everyone under the protection of Secondary Gender Laws. We can’t tell the alpha the secondary gender of his pack members until the individual is given a chance to tell them themselves unless of something like this. It’s so the pack bonds can grow in trust rather than being forced to expose themselves to their pack alpha.” the Doctor informed him but Jin had already known that but it still didn’t make sense. “The thing is though that Taehyung has been with us si-” Jin quickly turned to look back at his mate and gave him a serious death glare. The alpha quickly shut up and looked back confused only to be ignored. “You’re right Dr.Cheol how could I forget that.” Jin laughed sweetly before relaxing a bit from all the shook and new information. “So is he going through detox right now?’ he asked softly as he thought about how Taehyung would begin to show signs of omega traits. Antiestrous medication not only blocked heats but also instincts associated with being an omega. This gave him more of the mindset that matched a beta and the other must have used scent blockers and face scents to cover up his omega smell. Why had Taehyung hidden this from the pack or at least Namjoon and Jin? “Yes, it should be out of his system in about 5 to 7 days so we will send him home with some new medication.” the Doctor said before a voice called over the system asking for Dr.Cheol to go to room 9B. “ I have to go but we are going to keep him until tomorrow so we can check up on him before sending him out,” he said and they all bowed to one another before Dr.Cheol left. “An omega? I didn’t expect that but then again I didn’t even know he was on any medication.” the taller man said to his mate. Jin reached out and pulled him into a small embrace, he knew Namjoon was going to beat himself up about this. “It’s okay now Joon we will all be okay. We still have Taehyung and that is the only thing that matters,” he spoke softly into the other ear as he rubbed the back of his mate. “ Now we should go get Jungkook and leave before Taehyung starts smelling like an omega. I don’t want him to find out this way and I feel like we should give Tae the opportunity to tell the others for himself.” The alpha nodded in agreement before they left the small room and went to find room 12A which didn’t take long since Jin worked at the clinic. As they drew closer to the door they noticed a small nurse standing outside looking nervous. As they got closer she noticed Jin and breathed a sigh of relief before meeting them. “Oh thank god Dr.Kim! There is an alpha in 12A who won’t let me in to check the omega’s vitals.” the nurse spoke urgently as she looked back to the door in question. “I’ll take care or it Miss Jae don’t worry about it. We will be leaving soon as well so you shouldn’t have to much trouble later tonight,” he informed her and she bowed quickly to Jin. Namjoon walked towards the door with Jin close on his heel before opening the door they could hear a deep growl in the room. It was a warning not to enter but Namjoon just turned the knob and pushed it open. An angry looking Jungkook was sitting at Taehyung’s bedside but as he saw his pack mates the growl weakened to before dying off. Though he stopped growling he sit looked ready to pounce on anyone who tried to hurt Taehyung. Jin moved around the alpha and grabbed the file attached to the end off Taehyung’s bed. He flipped it open and began recording the monitor and other important information. Even standing here Jin could start to smell the sweet smell slipping pass the scent blockers. His sweating must have washed away some of the cover-up and Jungkook’s alpha was reaching to it. Though Jin thought Jungkook alpha was reacting to the scent of omega he didn’t think Jungkook was aware of it since the scent was still so faint. Also, Jin was sure that wasn’t the only reason Jungkook was being so protective over the bet- omega. Even a blind man could see that Taehyung and Jungkook liked each other and Namjoon and Jin swore to stay out of it when they first noticed it. Jin slipped the file back onto the bed and looked at Taehyung’s appearance, he definitely looked rough. Then he turned to Jungkook and softened as he saw the deep look of concern and worry in the alpha’s eyes. They were definitely made for one another but the arrival of Jimin seemed to be changing things, even Jin noticed it. Jungkook seemed to be taken with Jimin not as much as with Taehyung but enough for even Tae to notice. Jin knew it was why the blonde was ignoring Jungkook but then he noticed Jimin and Taehyung. Even Taehyung seemed to be weak to Jimin and it left Jin confused, he couldn’t begin to understand how the three of them must be feeling right now. The two seemed to be taken with the pink-haired omega but Jimin seemed just as sweet to everyone, he wondered how Jimin felt about the two of them. “Jungkook we have to leave,” Namjoon said sternly and the younger looked up at him in anger. “Leave what do you mean leave? We can’t just leave him alone like this, he needs us. What if he wakes up and no one is here for him?” he asked in outrage at the pack alpha. “He will have nurses waiting outside and I can ask for them to come in the room more often to check up on him as well. He will be fine Jungkook he is in the best possible place right now and the nurses don’t need you growling at them while they do their jobs.” Jin scolded the youngest and he seemed to shrink back a bit in response. “He will be coming home tomorrow if he is well enough. We can call in the morning to check up on him.” Namjoon said and that seemed to please the other a bit. The young alpha nodded in understanding and slowly got up. They all said soft goodbyes to Taehyung and Jin kissed his forehead before they all left so they could go home.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Taehyung, we would like you to meet Kyu. He is the alpha we have chosen to mate you once you are of age.” The voice of his sweet mother rang in his ear as she stood close to his father. They both looked at him with a small smile on their faces before turning to the young man they had introduced.He was taller than Taehyung, but then again he was only 13 while Kyu was two years older than him. He didn’t know much about the alpha before him, just that he was in the pack and hung out with the cool pack members in school. Taehyung himself probably would have been popular too but he liked spending time outside and being close to nature. Most others liked to be inside and play video games, or going to the mall to check out single people.Taehyung was labeled the weird son of pack leader Mr. Kim in school, or also known as the strange heir. His pack was rather large and well known in the small Daegu area, so many suitors came a long to try and win his hand. They all wanted to ensure their place as a pack leader since starting a pack was rather difficult. There was more to it then branching off from your old pack and claiming to start your own.There was paperwork, documents, and bit of a process to start your own pack- it was much easier to inherit a pack than make one. This caused many to come for Taehyung and the pack he was destined to obtain from his father. Though the pack was his in the future, he could not run it himself; only an alpha can run a pack. If Taehyung didn’t find a mate before his father passed away then the title would be up for grabs and the pack alphas would be able to fight over it.Though that was the last thing Mr. Kim wanted, he still turned down all the offers for Taehyung’s hand. He always told Taehyung that he should never settle, to mate someone strong who could lead a pack but love him just as much. Taehyung took the statement to heart and let his father sort out the bad ones so he had the best possible future; one with a thriving pack and a loving mate by his side.He knew one day the time would come where his father and mother found someone who was good enough to try for his hand. Though his father said this was the man for him to mate, Taehyung knew that if Kyu didn’t make him feel loved his father would end the match. After all, his father had said not to mate only for a pack leader but for love. Before him stood the man that could become his mate, and it was one of the first times the blonde omega felt nervous. Taehyung never felt like he had to impress anyone or act in a way that wasn’t true to himself- but this was different. This was someone he could possibly spent the rest of his life with, and Taehyung wanted to be nothing but the best to him. From that day onward he played the perfect omega, because if he was perfect then what was there not to love?They started the courting process and Kyu would always bring him over fresh meats, vegetables and fruits. The gifts brought a smile to the young omega’s face. They showed Kyu could provide for his family, and with this Taehyung was to provide as well. He would stay up all night and study recipes to make for his mate to be, then he would take the ingredients and turn them into a dish he could give to Kyu. Kyu would always thank him and rub his head affectionately while given the gift in return. Besides giving food, Kyu would also bring him manga that Taehyung had told the other he liked. Soon the blonde had three full collections from his top five favorite manga list. Years went on like this and Taehyung never felt anything but love and affection from his mate to be. Kyu would give him cuddles whenever he asked for them, or food whenever he was hungry. Kyu would bring him gifts and thank him when he made him food in return.Things were amazing and Taehyung couldn’t think of a better match for himself. Kyu was everything that he ever wanted and more. He knew that the other was going to be a perfect mate and leader to the pack he grew up in.Kyu was always so amazing, understanding, patient, and affectionate with Taehyung that when he suddenly stopped being those things it was a bit of a shock.Kyu stopped wanting to cuddle, saying that his smell was too flowery and no boy should smell like that. He would say things like that whenever he got to close, and soon Taehyung started to use scent blockers that covered up the ‘cheap lavender smell’ Kyu said he had. He refused to hold his hand when they walked around town together because he said that boys shouldn’t hold hands. He stopped bring gifts and food, and if Taehyung ever mentioned it he always replied, ‘don’t you have enough gifts, omega?’ or ‘get yourself some food’. Whenever Taehyung was taking too long to make one of their meals, Kyu would yell for him to hurry up, saying that he was tired of waiting on such a slow omega.The words and beginnings of neglect went unnoticed by everyone else and even Taehyung himself at first.He had asked about the changes once, and Kyu told him it was because of his job at the warehouse or because he was stressed out about the new role he would soon have to take on. He made becoming pack leader sound like an unwanted task, saying he was only taking the role so he could be with Taehyung. Through all the harsh words and affectionless days Kyu would say one thing- something small- and it would have Taehyung falling back in love again. When Kyu would say he looked nice he would remember when they were younger and madly in love. He saw the young Kyu showering him with compliments, gifts, and affection. It was a few months before his 16th birthday and he was a bit nervous- his parents expected them to mate that night, after all. The pressure of having to make love with Kyu was weighing on him, so he went to Kyu for some comfort. He found his soon to be mate on the couch in the living room they shared. His parents had moved him and Kyu out into their own place a year into their relationship. They wanted to make sure they had enough bonding time and could live together without hating each other. Kyu was flipping through the channels when Taehyung took a seat next to him.The blonde omega leaned into his side and rubbed his face along his shoulder but was quickly shoved away by the elder. “Stop, Taehyung, you are going to get your gay flower smell all over me. I don’t want to be made fun of by the boys because I smell like cheap lavender again.” He scoffed as he turned back to the tv and flipped through the channels. Taehyung blinked at him a few times in shock as he leaned away from to to be mate and into the other side of the couch. “I am nervous,” he mumbled into his knees once he pulled them up to his chest. This caught the alpha’s attention, and he looked over to the blonde boy and scoffed before turning back to the tv.“What has you so worried? All you have to do is bare your neck and spread your legs for me.” he smirked as he landed on a tv show he liked to watch. His comment had Taehyung reeling and he looked over at his mate to be.“What did you just say?” The blonde asked, still in shock from his words. He must have heard wrong- Kyu would never say something like that to his omega.“Did I fucking stutter?” With this he turned towards Taehyung and leaned in close. For once, Taehyung didn’t want the other close to him.“I said- all you have to do is spread those nice tanned legs for me so I can slide into that tight little ass of yours and fuck it until I pop a knot, then you’re going to let me bite your neck like the slut the whole pack knows you are.”His words had Taehyung speechless as he processed what had just been said to him. “Y-you don’t mean that.” Taehyung spoke weakly as he looked deep into Kyu’s eyes as if searching for some hidden joke or prank. A soft chuckle left Kyu’s lips as he smirked playfully and looked deep into Taehyung’s eyes. “I’m sorry, Sweetness, my alpha just got excited at the mention of your 16th birthday. I didn’t mean it.” Right then and there should have been the moment when Taehyung knew he needed to leave Kyu, but he was young and in love. So he slowly nodded in understanding and let Kyu go back to watching his favorite tv show.“Oh, Sweetness, can you make me some popcorn?” he asked, though it seemed more like a demand. Still in shock from what just happened , Taehyung just nodded wordlessly and got up to make some popcorn in the kitchen. His birthday was drawing nearer and nearer, and the way Kyu was treating him wasn’t getting any better. Taehyung was beginning to become aware of what was going on.“Once I mate you, Taehyung, I can finally take over this pack and change it’s stupid ‘progressive’ thinking.” A deep growl came from the alpha next to him and Taehyung couldn’t help but shiver at the thought. He once viewed the moment of them mating happily, but as his 16th birthday grew closer he was only filled with dread.“Only for that reason, alpha?” Taehyung asked softly as he side-eyed his mate to be.As the days grew closer he started to notice how distant Kyu had become. He no longer caressed Taehyung’s cheek before he kissed him, no longer pulled him into an embrace when he noticed Taehyung was shy or uncomfortable. He rarely saw Kyu’s eyes on him anymore, long gone were the caring looks and heart eyes he use to receive.Taehyung might have been two years younger than the alpha but he wasn’t stupid. He knew when he had been played, and oh, how Kyu played him. Greed and ambition were what made Kyu who he was, but Taehyung had thought nothing of it when the alpha started to become friendly with him at the age of 13. He was newly presented and Taehyung thought the other was genuinely interested in him, so he didn’t hesitate to fall hard and fast for him.Kyu wanted not his heart but the title that came with mating the son of the pack alpha- he wanted to be the new pack alpha.Taehyung’s eyes watered a bit as he stood next to the man he once loved, and maybe still did, even though he knew he shouldn’t.“I will not mate someone who doesn’t love me,” he spoke lowly as he mustered all of his courage and looked over to the alpha next to him.“Excuse me? What did you just say?” Kyu growled out, and Taehyung faced him and stared back at him challengingly.“Did I stutter? I said I will not mate someone who doesn’t love me, and you Kyu, do not love me. You only want the title that comes with bedding me.” He growled out this time and Kyu grew red with anger as he looked down at the 15-year-old.“You’re right Taehyung, I am done pretending. I’ve been keeping this up for 3 years! I don’t want you, in fact, I couldn't care less if you died after we mated. I already know who my real mate is and she is way better than a naive 15-year-old.” The alpha smirked as he began to stalk forward and Taehyung couldn’t help but shrink back in response.“‘While I’m filling you with my pups, I will be thinking of her and wishing it was her. When I’ve mated you I will then claim her, and when you both bear my pups I will make sure hers and mine lead this pack.” He spat at the younger before grabbing his chin and forcing his chin up so he could lick down his neck and over his scent gland.Taehyung struggled against his hold but was only released when Kyu was done and shoved his face away. Tears burned his eyes as he held back a cry escaping his throat, but he failed when a whimper left him.“How weak. Oh, and don’t bother telling your parents- they know. They were even the ones to who asked me to seduce you so they would have a strong alpha leader after your father passes. I guess even they could see how much better I am than the other alphas in our pack.” He chuckled as he left Taehyung in his room.Taehyung sat in shock on his bed as he listened to Kyu retreat before slamming the door shut behind him. Chances were he was leaving to hangout with his friends and get drunk with them- he wasn’t old enough to drink but his friends were. Though he was probably going to be back home in a few hours, Taehyung didn’t want to be here when he entered their shared home.Numbly the blonde omega got up and began packing his bags. He wasn’t sure where he was going to go or what he was going to do but he knew he couldn’t stay there any longer. Over the years, any friends that he had made he lost in favor of Kyu- the alpha would get jealous and make him stop seeing his friends. While growing up, Taehyung was always alone. It didn’t bother him then because he didn’t care about what others thought of him. Now he had been spending the last three years only caring what others thought about him and it was the first time he had ever felt completely alone.Fitting as much as he could into his suitcase, he pulled on the handle and walked out his front door for the last time. He didn’t have much money on him and he knew he couldn’t go to his parents, so he had to work with what he had, which was a suitcase and 35 dollars. “Mr. Kim are you awake? How are you feeling?” A voice called to him as he blinked rapidly- the lights from the room were blinding him. He let his eyes adjust to the lights before looking around for the voice. There was a lady with a clipboard leaning over him checking his face and eyes.“Where am I?” A hoarse voice asked, and he coughed a bit as he realized it was his. The nurse seemed to understand as she disappeared and came back with a cup of water. He took the cup with a nod of thanks and drank it slowly. He felt the water bring new life to his throat and it was then that he realized how sore his throat was.“You are at the clinic on main street.” she said softly and all Taehyung could do was look at her in shock and disbelief.“WHAT!” He almost screamed, and he coughed some more from raising his voice.“You had a seizure and some of your pack came in. They were very worried about you.” She informed him, and he almost fainted in shock from the information.“Do they know why I had a seizure?” he asked cautiously, though Taehyung had a good guess himself. The woman nodded a yes before explaining further to him.“Of course; having a seizure is listed under medical emergency. They had to be informed about what was going on. I’m sorry we had to tell them your true secondary gender, we learned it was something you had tried to hide.” She said carefully and Taehyung looked to his window and wondered whether or not a fall from this height would kill him.“Fuck…”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Sobbing filled the room as Yoongi held Jimin in his arms, whose shoulders shook as the cries trembled from his body. The pink-haired omega started crying soon after Taehyung was carried out of the house. It made trying to contact the others rather hard as Yoongi didn’t have the heart to push Jimin away. Yoongi could never push him away, so the white-haired omega sent out texts using only his left hand, which was rather difficult as it wasn’t his dominant hand.
He had texted Jungkook first. It said the message was read, but he'd never gotten a response- though Yoongi hadn't really expected one. He then sent the last text out to Hoseok, still with some difficulty as he held an inconsolable Jimin in his right arm.
From: My Moon 🌑
Taehyung had a seizure, Namjoon and Jin hyung are taking him to the clinic. I sent Jungkook a text already and I think he is going to the clinic. Jimin is with me.
From: Hoseok
I am on my way home now. Namjoon, Jung hyung, and Jungkook will take care of him.
Yoongi read the message and breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that Hoseok was coming home, he didn’t feel comfortable alone like this. After the night when him and Hoseok saw that group of men eyeing the house, he didn’t feel comfortable being alone. He had Jimin, but he was in no condition to fight if he had to, and Yoongi didn’t think he could hold off a group of alpha’s for long.
The white-haired omega put down the phone was he reached over and pulled Jimin in closer. “It’s going to be okay Jimin, shhhh.” He spoke softly into his ear. His words of comfort seemed to do little to calm the other omega down and that only made Yoongi a bit more stressed out. His taking-care-of-others skills were a bit rusty, but now was not the time to suck at being an omega. It was in his nature to be nurturing and calming. Yoongi made sure to release some of his mint smell into the room so that it would surround them and make the other feel comfortable and safe.
“You sh-should h-have seen him. He was- he was shaking so b-bad.” The other was able to get out in between sobs as he relived the events in his head. Jimin had never seen something like that, and to see that happen to his new family- someone he cared about, who was nice to him after he had experienced hell...
“I know Minie. Don’t worry. They are taking care of him, he will be better soon.” He spoke softly to the other omega as he pet his soft pink locks. Jimin seemed to calm down a bit and Yoongi couldn’t help but feel a bit proud of himself. It was like they were kids again when Jimin was distressed and needed his comfort.
It wasn’t like he enjoyed seeing the other in distress- it just reminded Yoongi of their childhood, their strong bond, and how nice it was to feel needed.
“But what if he
dies
hyung?! What if he dies because I should have gotten Jin hyung soo-” Yoongi hushed him right then and there. The elder stopped petting his head in favor of pulling the other closer and rubbing his face into the top of his head.
“Shhh no, Jimin, none of this is your fault. You did what he asked you to do. He wanted comfort and you gave it to him. You are sooo good Jimin and Taehyung wouldn’t want to hear you blaming yourself like this,” the white-haired omega said softly as he rubbed his head some more against the other’s.
It wasn’t too much later when the front door came open, and Yoongi almost tipped Jimin from his lap onto the couch in order to see who it was. He was scared someone was breaking in, but in came the familiar scent of vanilla and he calmed down. The oranged-haired alpha came into the living room and saw the two. He looked a bit winded, but other than that and the worry in his eyes, he looked unscathed. Yoongi still didn’t trust Hoseok walking alone at night when that group of guys was probably still out there.
“Any news?” The alpha asked, but as he walked further into the living room he saw the other omega curled up in Yoongi’s lap, his eyes closed. “Is he okay?” Hoseok asked with even more concern.
“He will be fine. Once he sees Taehyung in good shape I think he will bounce back quickly. He was the one who found Taehyung, and it has him a bit scared and on edge,” the omega informed the alpha as he watched the other shuffled closer to the couch.
Hoseok was about to sit down when Jimin practically jumped off the couch and onto the floor. However, Yoongi caught him and looked down at the other in shock while Jimin looked up at him with terrified eyes. His eyes then shifted over to Hoseok and it took several seconds for him to relax to the point where he didn’t look like he was about to run.
Yoongi was confused for a second but then realized it must have been because of the scent. Jimin was surrounded by Yoongi’s mint and the scent of an alpha coming into it spooked him. It was stupid of Yoongi to not think about how the events in Jimin’s past could have affected him.
“Shh it’s okay. It is just Hoseok, he isn’t a threat,” Yoongi cooed softly to the still sleepy looking Jimin in his lap. Yoongi pushed out more mint in hopes of masking most of Hoseok’s alpha scent. It seemed to work as Jimin settled back down like how he did when he was a pup and went back to bed.
Yoongi smiled softly down at the other, but soon the smile fell as he thought about why he would have such a reaction. It must have been even worse than the story Jimin told him if just the smell of alpha could wake him from his sleep in alarm.
“Wow, you are really good at that.” A husky voice spoke from across the couch, and Yoongi quickly looked up and saw Hoseok staring back at him with soft, melted chocolate eyes. The look on his face made Yoongi want to melt and get closer to the alpha.
Hoseok had watched him cooing and calming Jimin down, and it seemed to strike something in Hoseok because he was looking at Yoongi like he was the softest thing in the world. His face looked tender as he observed Yoongi use his caring and nurturing instincts on Jimin. It made the elder's face heat up a bit as he looked away from the orange-haired man.
“T-Thanks,” he mumbled, as he leaned back against the arm of the couch more and began to relax himself. “No news by the way,” he added a moment later as he looked down at Jimin. The younger’s brows knitted together and Yoongi instantly began stroking the pink locks. The tension bled from his face until it turned neutral and relaxed from sleep. His normally plump cheeks puffed up more as he leaned up and against Yoongi’s stomach, causing his cheeks to get smushed up.
“I’m sur-” Hoseok was cut off when the sound of the door being opened caught their attention. In came Namjoon, Jin, and Jungkook- but no Taehyung.
Hoseok stood up quickly as he took a few steps towards the other pack members. The elder two of the group looked a bit grim while Jungkook looked like he was about to throw something.
“How is he? Will he be home soon?” The orange-haired alpha asked as he looked from one to the other two.
“He will be okay. He should be back tomorrow if all goes well, which I think it will.” Tje elder said as he calmed everyone’s feelings as to whether or not it would go well. After all Jin was a doctor, and if he said the blonde would be okay then he would.
“What happened? Why would he have a seizure?” The alpha asked as he once again looked between the three of them, waiting for one of them to answer.
“We know why, but we think it would be best if Taehyung told us all himself.” Namjoon said after a few beats of silence, and Jin nodded his head next to him. Lastly, Hoseok looked at Jungkook, who looked almost twice as pissed now. It was probably killing him to not know what happened to Taehyung. Taehyung meant a lot more to Jungkook than he probably let on, but after all, Taehyung was the one to bring him out of his shell once he joined the pack.
“How is Jimin?” Jin asked quickly as he looked over at the couch with Yoongi and Jimin on it. Hoseok and Yoongi both sighed, and it seemed like enough for Jin to understand.
“I see. Well he did witness it firsthand, and that was probably very scary and shocking for him.” The beta spoke softly as he looked over at the pinkette in Yoongi’s lap.
“He just calmed down from the sobbing, I’m trying to keep him asleep so he can rest,” the omega said as a bit of a warning, but everyone understood it and said nothing about it. Namjoon excused himself first and Jin soon followed after him. Jungkook watched Jimin sleep for a few seconds and give him a longing look before leaving to head to his room.
“I wonder what happened and why Taehyung has to be the one to tell us,” Hoseok mumbled a bit to himself before turning back to Yoongi and a sleeping Jimin. “I will bring you down your pillows and a blanket.” The alpha said with a soft smile. He seemed to understand that Yoongi wasn’t going to risk trying to get up now that Jimin was asleep.
The alpha disappeared through the hallway and came back with two pillows and two blankets. He walked over and placed one pillow between Yoongi's back and the couch. The other he placed on top of the couch arm so Yoongi could lay his head back on it. He slid the blanket over Jimin who was laying on Yoongi, and as he pulled it further up their faces became close. They were a few inches apart, with Hoseok leaning down so he could cover both omegas.
Yoongi could feel the breath of the other on his face and it sent excited shivers through his body. Hoseok’s eyes seemed to be searching his for some type of permission and Yoongi took a leap as he nodded his head once in response. The alpha leaned forward without hesitation and pressed his lips to Yoongi’s. The omega relaxed a bit further into the kiss as he leaned forward as if to get more of the sensation and taste.
Hoseok’s lips moved against Yoongi’s but Yoongi was sure to meet him halfway as a large hand slowly curled around Yoongi’s neck. His fingers moving up to side into the hair against the back of his head. Fingers softly gripped his white locks as he pulled down gently so he had a better angle. Yoongi almost moaned because of the feeling and taste of Hoseok but a moment later and he was pulling away. Yoongi wanted to chase him, but longing grays met equally as longing browns as they stared at each other. Small pants escaped their lips as they caught their breath from their little makeout session.
“Sleep well, my moon.” the alpha said in a soft voice as he looked down at the white-haired omega.
“The moon is nothing without the sun,” Yoongi found himself saying in return, and a small smile spread over both of their faces.
With nothing left to be said, Hoseok turned off the lights before walking towards the hallway to his room. Yoongi found himself still gazing at where he saw him retreat before grabbing his phone and opening his contacts.
Yoongi found himself changing Hoseok’s contact name to My Sun ☀️.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
A soft knocking stirred Taehyung from his sleep, though he tried to ignore it and drift back into slumber. The knocking stopped shortly after, but the sound of the door opening alerted him that the visitor had not left. So, the blonde-haired omega slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the door to see who it was.
His nurse had come into the room and was checking his vitals as he woke up in bed. She sent the man a soft smile, and when she was done with her task she secured the paper to her clipboard.
“Everything is looking good. Dr. Cheol said that if your vitals were fine you could be released today.” The nurse smiled down at him as she watched him slowly sit up in bed and lean back against his pillows. The nurse moved around him and began to take out the needles in his arm and basically detach him from the bed.
Taehyung said nothing as he watched the woman take everything apart around him. He didn’t know what he was going to do, who knew the truth, or what he was going to say.
What could he say to his pack, his family, who he’s been lying to for four years?
They are going to ask why he never brought it up, and if he didn’t trust them, and why he would hide it for so long now that he was in a safe place.
To be honest, Taehyung wasn’t ready for those questions.
Anyone could tell that Taehyung trusted his pack with his life, but after a while being a beta wasn’t a secret- it was who he was, it became his identity. Now that this was all coming to light it was like he didn’t know who he was anymore.
It probably didn’t help that even Namjoon and Jin didn’t know about his past or his real secondary gender. When they took him off the streets and gave him a home he had told them a complete lie. They never doubted it and had trusted him enough to take him in… but now they knew. They knew the truth.
Had they told the others? Did Yoongi know? What about Hoseok and Jimin? E-Even Jungkook?Just thinking about it and not knowing was driving Taehyung crazy.
“We called your pack and let them know you are ready to go Mr. Kim. They said they would be here in 10 minutes.” The nurse informed him before leaving him in his room alone again. He hadn’t even noticed when she left his side to give his pack a call.
For the next 10 minutes, Taehyung found himself sitting in silence as he thought about all the things that could happen. Like how he could be kicked out of the pack for lying to everyone’s faces for so long. That was one of the many scenarios the blonde omega found himself watching in his head.
His thoughts were halted when the door to his room was opened again and two familiar looking alphas walked in. Namjoon and Jungkook didn’t have any particular look on their faces though if he had to guess he did see a bit of relief in their eyes.
“Time to come home, Taehyung,” Namjoon spoke softly as he sent a small smile the omega’s way. The wording warmed Taehyung’s heart as he basked in the fact he still had a home with them. They weren’t going to kick him out, though that meant he had a lot of explaining to do.
“Before we leave, can I speak with him… alone?” The youngest asked as he looked to Namjoon and then to Taehyung. He was asking both of them permission to speak with him alone and it made Taehyung’s heart beat faster in worry. What did he want to say to him alone? Was the younger going to yell at him? They were best friends, after all.
Taehyung slowly nodded and after seeing him nod, Namjoon did too before exiting the room and shutting the door behind him.
Taehyung watched Jungkook as he made his way to the chair next to his bed and sat down before looking straight at Taehyung. To say he was anxious about what the other was going to say was an understatement. The wait and possibilities were frying his nerves as he waited for the other to say something.
"Firstly, are you okay?" The alpha asked as he watched the omega with genuine concern in his eyes. While looking into his eyes he could also see how nervous the other was, and it was then that he took in Jungkook's appearance.
He was dressed like usual with blue ripped jeans, a white shirt, and his favorite timberlands. At first glance, everything seemed as per usual until you looked at him a little harder. His shirt was half tucked in on one side, and not in a fashionable way but like he'd dressed in a hurry. Like he had put his shirt on first and then pulled on his jeans but forgot to pull the shirt out of its half tucked state. His shoes looked fine, expect his laces weren't tied on the one side and you could tell the tongue of the shoe needed to be pulled up.
"I'm fine now. The clinic took good care of me." Taehyung said honestly as he tried to piece what the other was about to say and why he looked the way he did.
"Good, good." The alpha said as he looked away and wiped the palms of his hands on the top of his jeans to get rid of the sweat.
"Kookie, are you okay?" Taehyung asked, and he watched as Jungkook's head snapped back to look at him. An awkward smile found its way onto the younger one’s face. It looked like he was trying to say something but didn't didn't know how to.
"If there is something you want to say but can't, we can always talk later when you're ready." Taehyung tried to say encouragingly.
"NO! I-I mean no, I want to tell you now." Jungkook said quickly before stopping and taking a breath. Once he collected himself he looked back into Taehyung's eyes and began.
"Kim Taehyung from the very first time I met you I knew you were special. When I first joined Namjoon hyung and Jin hyung you were so bubbly and happy. You always smiled, even when I pushed you away. I was cold and closed off when I became a part of this pack and without you, I would still be like that. You brought me out of my shell. Even when I hurt your feelings or ignored you, you never gave up on me. You always came back and talked to me, included me, and tried to be my friend. When I was sad you were there to hold me close and cheer me up. As we grew closer over the years I've come to realize how special you are to me. I've had a crush on you since I first laid eyes on you and that only grew as we got closer. Getting that text from Yoongi flipped my world upside down and I thought a lot last night." Jungkook paused as he leaned closer, his eyes shone with tears as he continued.
"I wouldn't want to live in a world without you! I'm tired of dancing around my feelings! If something happened to you I would have beaten myself up with all the 'could haves' I had missed out on because I never said anything to you." He paused again, clearing his throat as a way to get his emotions under control.
"Seeing you in this bed, unconscious, was one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me. I don't want to pretend anymore, and I know you feel something too. I love you Kim Taehyung and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't want my life to be filled with regrets." The alpha's voice grew soft as he finished off his confession.
Taehyung was stunned into silence as he looked at Jungkook, trying to think of something to say. It was like a dream, he loved Jungkook as well. His crush on the younger alpha had bloomed through the years. Though Jimin coming into the picture complicated things, since even Taehyung could see the pull Jungkook had for Jimin.
Though all of this felt like a dream come true, Taehyung couldn't help but think it was because the other knew he was an omega now. Jungkook had probably always had a crush on him but never made a move because he’d wanted to end up with an omega. Now that Taehyung was an omega there was no reason not to jump on the easy prey. How convenient was it that Jungkook was confessing now that everyone knew he was an omega. It was bittersweet, really, and like a huge stab to the heart.
Taehyung had said nothing for over a minute now and Jungkook was getting visibly nervous by the second. Taehyung opened his mouth and Jungkook instantly sat up straight at attention waiting for him to speak.
"Namjoon hyung," the omega called loudly as he watched the alpha visibly deflate before dropping his gaze to the floor. The sound of the door could be heard from across the room.
"Ready to go?" Namjoon asked as he looked from one to the other, and Taehyung simply nodded.
“I’ll go wait in the car for you two.” The younger alpha said as he got up and walked out of the room without looking at either Taehyung or Namjoon.
The pack alpha walked over to Taehyung and helped him out of bed before handing him his clothes so he could change in the bathroom. He was thankful because he was tired of the gown and he didn’t want to go home in it.
The omega took his things and walked to the bathroom that was inside of his clinic room. Once the door was shut, he undressed as he tried not to think too much about what Jungkook said. The omega took a sniff of himself and his clothes; he didn’t really smell like omega yet.
Taehyung wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not at the moment. His heart was breaking for finally getting the attention he wanted but only because he was an omega now.
Dressed and ready to go, he came out of the bathroom and smiled a bit sadly over to Namjoon. He seemed to return the gesture before taking the lead and showing Taehyung out of the clinic. Of course they had to sign some release forms before leaving but it was quick and he barely noticed.
The car came into view and the two made their way over to the vehicle. Namjoon walked to Taehyung’s side, which was the passenger door, and stopped. The tall alpha looked down at him and spoke softly so only Taehyung could hear.
“He doesn’t know.” Was the only thing that came out of his mouth. Before Taehyung could ask why or say anything at all Namjoon opened the car door. If he had said anything, Jungkook would have heard and Taehyung wasn’t sure if that was a good idea.
The omega got into the car and Namjoon closed the door before walking around the car and getting into the driver seat. Once they were all buckled in, Namjoon pulled out of the parking spot and began to drive them home.
The whole ride all Taehyung could think about was what Namjoon had said. Jungkook didn’t know? Did that mean none of them knew but Namjoon, and probably Jin? If that was the case, then what about Jungkook’s confession?
Taehyung smelled himself in the bathroom and he still didn’t smell like an omega yet. That meant that the young alpha still saw him as a beta.
He had confessed his love for beta Taehyung, not omega Taehyung. Jungkook wasn’t doing this because Taehyung was an omega now.
Jungkook’s confession was real and genuine and Taehyung just brushed him off.
What was he going to do?
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The whole drive home was quiet and Taehyung was fine with that. After all, he had a lot to think about and not just him telling his pack the truth. Taehyung kept the glances towards Jungkook to a minimum but it was hard. The younger confessed to him, to beta Taehyung, what about omega Taehyung? The blonde was worried about Jungkook only liking him because he was an omega now he knows the other likes beta him. Would he like omega him then?
“We’re home.” A voice said next to him. Taehyung blinked before looking over at Namjoon then back out the window. Their home sat in front of them and Taehyung felt his nerves take a jump off a cliff.
The omega nodded before slowly opening the door and making his way to the entrance. He could hear Namjoon hyung and Jungkook behind him. He was walking slower than he usually did but no one said anything.
He opened the door slowly and as he stepped in the entrance another body collided into his. The omega’s first response was to flinch away but a rush of orchids filled his nose as he looked down at pink locks.
Jimin was practically sobbing into his chest as he clutched onto Taehyung like his life depended on it.
“I-I’m so so-sorry. I should have gotten Jin hyung first.” He muffled the words into his chest but Taehyung understood him. Taehyung couldn’t help it when his arms wrapped around the other and embraced the smaller omega. He laid his head down on the other omega’s head and closed his eyes.
The smell of orchids was almost sour with distress and guilt but it soon evened out a bit in his embrace. “You did nothing wrong Jimin. You only did what I asked.” He said softly to the other as he listened to the sobs soften to only hiccups.
“But if I would have-“ Jimin didn’t get to finish because Taehyung cut him off with a soft kiss to the top of his head. Don’t ask Taehyung why he did it, honestly, he didn’t know why either. It just felt right and it calmed the omega down the rest of the way. He could tell because the pink-haired male relaxed in his arms.
“You smell like laven-“
Before Jimin could finish the word Taehyung jerked away from Jimin like he had been burned. Once he pulled away he saw shocked and hurt hazel eyes lock with his.
‘You smell like cheap lavender’
Then it was like a truck hit Jimin because the shock turned into confusion then realization before landing on shock again. It was like Taehyung had screamed to him he was an omega. Jimin could smell the lavender before, but now when the scent was minutes away from pumping from his glands Jimin could tell why he smelled this way.
Fear must have shown on his face because Jimin only nodded in understanding before stepping away. However, Jungkook who had been watching the whole thing rushed forward and placed a supportive hand in the dip of his back.
“Are you okay, Taehyung?” He asked softly in his ear and Taehyung couldn’t help but flinch this time. The smell of alpha flooding his nose with how close he was. He almost choked on the smell of earth that filled his nose and lungs.
The medication had dulled his omega side but also his sense of smell among other things. This was the first time Taehyung could smell Jungkook, really smell him.
It was like he had stepped into the woods outside of the house. The woods he loved so much and spent so much time in when he could. He smelled like healthy grass fresh with dew like wood and moss softened and refreshed with morning rain. It was beautiful, welcoming, and extremely overwhelming.
Taehyung hunched forward covering his nose and mouth. This seemed to alarm everyone as people he didn’t realize had been watching also rushed to him. On the outside, it must have seemed like he was about to throw up considering he was holding his mouth too.
Jungkook moved closer to see what was wrong and it only made things harder on him. Yoongi and Hoseok push closer and blocked Jimin from his sight. Namjoon moves to his other side in aid and Jin was nowhere to be seen.
All the scents were overwhelming him more than just Jungkook’s had. Now three alphas and their scents intruded his nose, Yoongi and Jimin’s kind of faded into the background. The blonde omega could feel his knees getting weak and he was scared he would fall. ‘Had they always smelled like that?’ The blonde wondered.
“Give him some room.” A voice called from the back of the group, but Taehyung could tell it was Jimin. His usual sweet voice was a bit more serious right now but still, no one had moved. It must have frustrated him because the next thing Taehyung sees is Jimin push past Yoongi and Hoseok.
The pink-haired omega walked towards him and looped his arm around his waist in order to help support him. Taehyung thought that it may have looked funny if he wasn’t being flooded with smells. After all, Jimin was shorter than Taehyung and here the small omega was trying to hold him up.
“I said to move back.” The omega growled beside him as he pushed Jungkook back and steered Taehyung a bit further away from the group. Once everyone was a few feet away, Taehyung could actually breathe without being submerged in three different alpha scents. He was grateful to the other omega and the smell of orchids helped ease his nose. The familiar sweet scent didn’t burn him like when he inhaled the others. Taehyung was about to thank the other when a noise rumbled in the room.
Taehyung’s head snapped up and over to Jungkook who was growling rather angrily at his pink headed savior. Tae was about to speak up when another growl sounded beside him and honestly it rocked Taehyung a bit to hear it. After all, it wasn’t every day an omega growled back at an alpha in challenge. It was now that he could see Yoongi in Jimin after all, Yoongi wasn’t shy to growl at any of them when he first came.
Jungkook stepped forward accepting the challenge and Taehyung could feel Jimin moving in a step but nothing became of it. Yoongi stepped between the two growling members but faced Jungkook. The white-haired omega placed a hand on the alpha’s chest and pushed hard sending the alpha back a step or two.
Jungkook looked down at Yoongi still just as angry but now a little confused as to why they were being interrupted. “If you touch Jimin I will gut you, Jeon.” Taehyung couldn’t see his face but his voice was octaves lower than usual and his stance was a protective one. It was like a mother defending her pup and Jungkook would be suicidal if he thought it would be a good idea to threaten that.
The smell of mint overtook most other smells in the room, it was sharp and dominating, Taehyung has never smelled Yoongi like this before. Without breaking eye contact or moving an inch Yoongi spoke to Jimin. “Take Taehyung to his room Jimin,” he said finality.
Taehyung felt himself being moved towards the rooms but he couldn’t help but look at Jungkook. The alpha seemed to be coming to his senses and Taehyung could tell in his eyes that he already felt regret.
“Why didn’t you step in?” Hoseok whispered to Namjoon once Taehyung and Jimin exited the room. The orange-haired alpha looked up at Namjoon’s face as he waited for an answer.
“Jungkook needs to learn he can’t always get his way, even with the o-” Namjoon stopped himself because he was about to say omegas. Implying Taehyung into that group and Namjoon wasn’t going to spill the beans. “o-other members that aren’t alphas. If I thought it would get physical I would have broken it up.” He clarified, and Hoseok nodded in understanding.
“Hyung I’m sor-” Jungkook started but he was cut off by Yoongi rather quickly. The white-haired omega seeming bored with the conversation already and unwilling to hear him out.
“Save it, Jeon.” The elder spoke dismissively before turning to Hoseok and Namjoon. “We should give them some space. Hoseok, mind bunking with me for now?” the omega asked and Hoseok couldn’t help but feel his face set aflame.
“S-Sure hyung.” He all but squeaked out as he looked from Yoongi to his hands and back again.
Jungkook looked like he was about to talk again but Namjoon cut him off before he could even start. “Where did Jin go?” he asked and Hoseok and Yoongi looked in his direction.
“Jin hyung got a message and said he had to go. He didn’t say where.” Hoseok said in response and Namjoon’s eyebrows pulled together in confusion. Then the lead alpha pulled out his phone and stepped outside to make a call.
“I think we should order in tonight,” Yoongi said softly and Hoseok nodded in agreement beside him.
“Hyung-” Jungkook tried again and Yoongi’s head whipped to face him and glared Jungkook down and back into silence.
A pizza was ordered for dinner but it wasn’t like their usual nights, it was way different. Jimin came from Taehyung’s room and grabbed two plates of food before retreating back into the room. Namjoon came back in from his call looking rather displeased while he grabbed a plate and took a seat at the island. Jin still hadn’t returned and Yoongi figured Namjoon was displeased by that. Jungkook took his plate and sat in the living room alone and without speaking to anyone. Yoongi and Hoseok decided to take their food to Yoongi’s room as well. Yoongi didn’t really want to be bugged by Jungkook right now.
“Do you think they will be okay?” Hoseok asked once he closed the door behind them. The orange-haired alpha didn’t even have to clarify what he was talking about.
“I don’t know. I feel like they are all making it more complicated by not talking to one another.” Yoongi replied evenly but Hoseok could tell he was still angry.
“It’s Taehyung and Jungkook though, they’ve liked each other since the dawn of time.” Hoseok joked a bit trying to lighten the mood.
“Yeah but what about Jimin?” Yoongi asked as they both took a seat on the floor leaning against Yoongi’s bed. “I may have been in heat but after even I could tell Jungkook and Jimin were opening up to each other.” Yoongi continued before breaking off so he could take a bite of his pizza.
“Taehyung and Jimin have been rather friendly to the past few days,” Hoseok said a bit offhandedly but Yoongi looked his way and raised his eyebrow.
“So what we have some love triangle shit going on?” Yoongi asked in disbelief as he raised his pizza to his mouth again. Hoseok chuckled beside him as he took a second to take a bite too.
“I guess hyung,” Hoseok said once he had finished his bite. The two then sat in silence as they both finished their pizza, both still thinking about the topic.
“Then they all need to pull their heads out of their asses and talk about it. I don’t want to see anyone getting hurt, even Jungkook,” he mumbled the last part as he placed the plate down and Hoseok’s on top of his.
“Let’s go to bed hyung. We can all talk about this in the morning when things have calmed down.” Hoseok said softly and Yoongi couldn’t help but agree. Dishes were forgotten on the floor as Yoongi climbed into bed, not even worrying about changing. He was about to turn the side light out when he realized Hoseok was getting ready to lay on the floor.
“Hoseok what are you doing?” he asked with a raised eyebrow and a rather unimpressed face.
“Well I’m sleeping on the floor, this is your room hyung,” he said as if it was common sense. Yoongi tsked before throwing back the covers on the other side of the bed.
“Get up here, you will not be sleeping on the floor,” Yoongi said as he rolled his eyes but smiled softly at Hoseok when he was done.
Hoseok got up from the floor and walked around the bed to take his place by Yoongi. Once he had sat down Yoongi threw the blankets over him and turned to turn off the lamp on the side table.
The room fell into darkness and soon Hoseok stopped moving around as he tried to get comfortable. Though even once he stopped Yoongi could practically feel how stiff Hoseok was from being nervous. The same warm smile still stayed on Yoongi’s face as he rolled back over to face Hoseok and threw his arm around the alpha as he scooched closer.
Yoongi moved his head to press closer to Hoseok’s neck and still had his arm thrown over him as he relaxed enough to begin sleeping. It took a few moments but Hoseok relaxed soon and turned on his side to face Yoongi. The alpha looked at the closed-eyed omega and smiled before throwing his arm over the other in return and closing his eyes.
“Goodnight, my Moon.”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
They walk into the room and Jimin softly closes the door behind them. When Jimin turns around he can see Taehyung already sitting on his bed. The blonde pulled back the blankets and tucked himself in but he didn’t lay down. He pushed himself against the backboard of his bed and looked his way.
“I’m sorry about growling at Jungkook. He was going to take you away from me and you wouldn’t be able to handle that. Not yet at least.” Jimin spoke to him softly.
“Thank you. I’m glad you pulled me away. I’m not used to their scents being that intense.” Taehyung spoke quietly as he looked down at his hands.
“So you’re an omega?” Jimin continues with his soft tone and emits his calming orchid smell. The very moment the word was out of his mouth Taehyung tensed up. He was scared and clearly distressed. Jimin quickly went to the other side of the bed and sat down. He pulled the blonde into his arms and held him.
“Shh Taehyung it’s okay. There is nothing wrong with being an omega.” He spoke softly into the other hair as he rubbed up and down his back.
“There is something wrong with being an omega! We are used and taken advantage of all the time! What I wouldn’t give to be anything but an omega.” The blonde spoke venomously into Jimin chest. The pink-haired omega felt his shirt start to cling to his chest with moisture and he knew Taehyung was crying.
“Don’t say something like that Taehyung. There is nothing bad about being an omega unless you make it something bad. I can’t deny the horrible people out there who take advantage over us but not everyone is like that. No one in this pack is like that.” He reassured the other as he moved his other hand up to massage the blondes scalp.
“I’m scared Jiminie, they’ve only ever known me as a beta. What if they treat me differently?” he mumbled into the other’s chest and Jimin couldn’t help but smile at how child-like the taller member was acting.
“Do you see how the pack treats Yoongi? How they treat me? Is that any different from how they treat Jin? Or how the alphas treat one another?” Jimin asked softly, and when Taehyung didn’t respond he knew that Taehyung was seeing that it wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be.
“It’s okay to be yourself, nothing has to change if you don’t want it to. I think everyone would agree that they love you for you Taehyung, not because you were a beta.” The pink-haired omega said encouraged to the other.
After he had said that, the blonde in his arms moved closer and was about half on top of Jimin as he shoved his face into his neck. Jimin knew it was for comfort but he couldn’t help but feel his cheeks color red.
“T-Taehyung?” he asked and the other just buried his head deeper into the crook of his neck. Jimin could feel every inhale and exhale and he can’t help but laugh at the feeling. He quickly moved his head down to cover his neck and Taehyung pulled away and looked at him quietly.
“Hyung?” he asked with a raised eyebrow but Jimin couldn’t help but blush. After all, he and Taehyung were born in the same year and you don’t call someone hyung if you are born the same year, regardless of the month. So the fact that Taehyung was calling him hyung was odd but all he could do was blush as he waited for Taehyung to continue.
“Are you ticklish?” he asked still looking dead serious and all Jimin could do was gulp as he nodded once in confirmation. The next thing he knew Taehyung and himself were wrestling on the bed while Jimin tried to avoid being tickled. Which wasn’t working as well as he planned.
Giggling and laughing filled the room and Jimin couldn’t help but feel like on some level this was only a distraction for Taehyung. Regardless he was happy to help even if that meant dying from tickles while he tried not to laugh up his gut.
When they began to settle down Jimin found himself on his back with Taehyung above him directly. Jimin’s loose white shirt was rolled up with Taehyung’s hand resting on his bare skin from where he was tickling. His other hand was pressed into the bed holding him up and it was next to Jimin’s head.
Jimin couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat as he realized the position they were in at the moment. The two only looked at one another as they both tried to catch their breath from wrestling and laughing.
“Hyung,” Taehyung said softly and Jimin felt the blush crawl up his neck again at the title. The hand pressed against his side slid upward and Jimin felt his breath hitch.
“T-Taehy-” he never got to finish because his lips were stopped by another set pressing against his. These lips were thinner but soft and they felt good against Jimin’s. It was nice, but he was scared because unlike before, this wasn’t an alpha and it wasn’t unwanted. Jimin couldn’t remember a time when he had been touched and actually wanted it. He was touch-starved and Taehyung was quenching that thirst in him.
The hand slid up his chest and long fingers softly pinched his nipple and Jimin couldn’t help the moan that left his lips. Taehyung moved his lips away from Jimin’s as they panted softly before he leaned down and whispered in his ear. “Is this okay hyung?” All Jimin could do was nod and Taehyung smirked before moving back into capture his lips.
They moved against each other's lips as they tried to deepen it but then Taehyung licked Jimin’s lower lip and Jimin didn’t need to be asked twice. Soft plump lips opened for the blonde and Taehyung’s tongue was in his mouth seconds later. Jimin’s shirt was pushed up as far as it could go and Taehyung had switched nipples before he finally pulled completely away from Jimin.
He leaned up and looked down at the pink-haired omega and was a bit taken back. Jimin was all kinds of soft pinks and flushed colors, his chest heaved softly as he took in quick breaths to fill his oxygen-deprived lungs. His shirt was bunched under his arms and neck with his hands out to the side. He looked delicious and Taehyung couldn’t wait to taste him. He looked sweet, he smelled sweet, and Taehyung could almost guarantee he tasted to match.
Taehyung reached down and pulled off the other’s shirt before discarding his own over the side of the bed. “Can I continue?” Taehyung asked in a deep husky voice as he looked down at Jimin.
“Please don’t stop Tae.” The other practically moaned, and Taehyung didn’t waste a moment as he leaned back down and took a pink nipple into his mouth. He softly bit and sucked as his other hand played with his other nipple. Jimin moaned out above him but he quickly bit into his hand to muffle the sounds.
Taehyung switched sides and got the same effect until he decided to travel southward. A smirk played on his lips as he started to trail kisses down his chest along his stomach and to the top of his blue jeans. Taehyung pulled back so he could pop open the button and slide his hand into not only Jimin’s pants but underwear too.
Jimin was already sporting a hard-on and Taehyung was more than happy to help him along. Taehyung gripped him softly before stroking the pink-haired omega a few times.
“Taehyung, ahh,” he gasped and arched into his hand as he looked down at Taehyung and his hand. Taehyung could already feel the precum dripping from Jimin’s cock and he slid his thumb against the slit so he could use it was some lubrication while he stroked him.
“What, hyung?” he asked softly before leaning up and Jimin quickly pulled his hand away from his mouth so he could meet Taehyung's, and their lips locked again.
Taehyung kept stroking Jimin but once he felt the other getting closer he moved his hand further down and slid his finger along Jimin’s hole. Slick was already sliding out of him and was beginning to pool in his jeans. Knowing they couldn’t have that he pulled away from Jimin and the other omega pouted and whined from the loss of contact.
Taehyung tugged his jeans and underwear off before leaned down so he could place kisses to Jimin’s thighs as he positioned himself between the other’s legs. He kissed back up toward Jimin and rubbed their necks together, scenting Jimin as his subconsciously. Jimin didn’t argue, honestly, it had the opposite effect and Jimin moaned out in need.
Taehyung moved back up to his mouth while his hand found Jimin’s slick covered hole. The blonde coated his fingers in the slick before moving and pushing one into Jimin slowly. The omega under him moaned into his mouth and Taehyung could feel his own jeans getting tight on his frame.
“Taehyung please, ahh, please more,” he begged against his lips and Taehyung could only comply. He pressed another finger inside of him and pumped them in and out before scissoring them inside of the smaller omega. He added his third finger and followed suit before Jimin started to thrust back into his hand searching for more.
Taking that as a sign Taehyung pulled his fingers out and moved away from Jimin. He licked his fingers tasting Jimin’s slick and he almost came from that. The other omega tastes like heaven and Taehyung all but ripped his jeans off along with his underwear.
“Taehyung please,” Jimin called out from the bed and Taehyung came back and got between the other’s legs quickly. The blonde already had beads of precum rolling off his head and when he placed it to Jimin's hole to lubricate it. Jimin let out a high pitched moan from the feeling.
Taehyung began pushing the tip of his head into Jimin and he watched as the small omega gripped the sheet in his fists. The omega moaned out as he pressed down hard onto Taehyung and even Tae had to moan at the feeling. Taehyung pushed the rest inside of the small male and Jimin panted under him as he adjusted to the feeling of Taehyung inside of him.
“You’re so tight hyung.” Taehyung half moaned out while Jimin responded with a moan of his own before nodding at him to move.
Taehyung rocked in and out slowly resulting in Jimin becoming a moaning mess under him as he arched his back and Taehyung wrapped his arm around him. Using his arm which was around the other's waist, he pulled Jimin down as he thrust up into him. They moaned together as Taehyung picked up the speed and was now pounding into him rather harshly, but Jimin seemed to be living for it. Taehyung let go of his waist and placed both hands on Jimin’s hips in a bruising grip.
“Fuck, Taehyung right there.” He moaned higher as Taehyung thrust into the bundle of nerves located inside of him. Taehyung was eager to please his hyung so he complied and angled to hit the same spot every time. Feeling like Jimin was about to scream Taehyung reached up and covered his mouth, though Jimin seemed to have other ideas.
The pink-haired omega moved his hand so he could suck on Taehyung’s fingers. The other must have tasted himself on his fingers because he moaned out again before falling back into thrust with Taehyung and deep throating Taehyung’s fingers.
“I‘m close hyung,” Taehyung spoke huskily at him and Jimin nodded that he was close too, since his mouth was still wrapped around his fingers.
Taehyung pulled back and thrust as deep and as hard as he could a few more times before he felt his climax coiling in his gut. He quickly pulled out of Jimin and came onto both the bed and Jimin’s muscular thighs. Jimin had whined around his fingers as Taehyung pulled out quickly but also came onto his stomach.
The only noise in the room now was the sound of panting as Taehyung leaned back and withdrew his fingers from Jimin’s mouth.
“Wow.” he panted out and Jimin nodded weakly in agreement before his knees limply fell against one another and his head rolled to the side as he panted.
Taehyung got up and quickly dressed before running to the bathroom and bring back a wet towel and a dry one. He went back to Jimin and cleaned up his stomach and things before lifting the tired omega off the bed and onto a chair so he could change the sheets.
“Thank you for not cumming inside of me. I know it’s a low chance I could get pregnant but better safe than sorry.” Jimin said tiredly.
“Don’t mention it.” Taehyung laughed softly at the odd thank you before he heard his belly grumble. “I should go grab us something,” Taehyung said but Jimin sits up and raises his hand.
“No, they will smell me on you. They won’t smell you on me yet since they can’t smell you yet.” Jimin clarifies as he rolls over and off the bed. He gets dressed and exits the room with a soft click of the door.
Taehyung couldn’t help but think. ‘What the hell did he just do!’ He just slept with Jimin! Right after Jungkook confessed to him and all this drama was going on! What was he thinking?
Jimin is back sooner than Taehyung thought and he came in with two slices of pizza on each plate. “They ordered pizza.” He smiled softly before handing Taehyung his plate.
“Let’s eat and then go to bed.” Jimin smiled softly at Taehyung and he could only smile back and nod.
He could figure it all out tomorrow.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi groaned softly as he snuggled closer into the blankets. He couldn’t remember the last time he slept this good. He smiled softly to himself as he slowly began to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes so that he could get use to the light coming in through his windows. Though there was something far brighter than any light from a window.
Hoseok was laying next to him facing Yoongi as he slept deeply. Yoongi couldn’t help but smile as he watched the orange-haired alpha breath softly while snoring lightly in his ear. His hair was a mess and some of it hung in front of his face. Yoongi couldn’t help when his hand reached up and tucked a few strands behind his ear. Once out of his face the omega let his hand caress the others cheek softly as he smiled to himself.
Though the touch seemed to wake the alpha and Yoongi couldn’t help but pout a little. Hoseok wasn’t as deep of a sleeper as Yoongi had thought. However, the pout soon left his face as a bright smile was directed at him as Hoseok woke up.
“Good morning hyung.” he continued to smile and Yoongi couldn’t help but wonder if it hurt to smile that big.
“Morning, how did you sleep?” he asked softly like he was scared he would wake the house. Hoseok’s smile became a smirk as he listened to Yoongi whisper.
“I slept great. After all, I was next to you.” deep brown eyes met gray and Yoongi felt his heart skip a beat.
“Ahh, get up you cheese ball,” Yoongi said quickly as he tried to hide his blush. The elder made a move to get out of bed but Hoseok grabbed his wrist and pulled him back into the mess of blankets.
“Not yet hyung.” the alpha whined a little as he pulled Yoongi close and wrapped himself around the elder.
“Hey! Ughh you are all spoiled brats.” the white-haired male mumbled to himself but Hoseok must have heard because a soft chuckle ghosted over his neck.
The two stayed in bed or a bit longer with Hoseok as the big spoon and Yoongi as the little one. The omega was about to drift back into slumber with how comfortable he was until the voice of Jin startled him awake again.
“Everyone to the kitchen for breakfast! It is mandatory!” he called loudly no doubt from the kitchen. Yoongi could hear a soft sigh behind him before the body moved and wrapped itself from Yoongi.
“We better go before Jin comes looking for us.” the alpha stated rather unhappily and Yoongi couldn’t help but smile.
“So Taehyung and Jimin, I didn’t see that com-” Yoongi cut the younger off before he could finish.
“I don’t know what they were thinking!” the elder erupted having completely forgotten about last night's events. It only seemed to anger Yoongi further the more he thought about it.
“They are young and confused. I have faith that they will work it out.” Hoseok quickly said as Yoongi crawled out of bed.
“Sure they MIGHT work it out but only after breaking each other’s hearts!” he growled out as he looked around the room for a clean shirt. Once he found one he ripped off his old one and replaced it with the one in his hands. Hoseok said nothing to the omega but Yoongi could feel his eyes on him. The omega would have said something or even blushed but he was still too angry about the love triangle going on.
Yoongi was half tempted to strangle all of them for being such idiots with each other’s hearts. Yoongi needed to have a talk with Taehyung and figure out what was going on with him. Though he honestly had to talk to all three of them. Jimin about what happened last night and even Jungkook because of the silent challenge that filled the air that same night.
“Yoongi hyung?” a voice called to him and it was then he realized he had spaced out a bit. He turned to the alpha and smiled softly showing he was okay and had calmed down.
They left the omega’s room and made their way into the kitchen where most of the pack was. In fact, the whole pack was there expect Jimin and Taehyung. Yoongi was going to give the two minutes to be at the table or he was going to drag them down the hall and into the kitchen.
The omega took his seat and as a minute passed he heard soft voices coming down the wall before Taehyung and Jimin both came into view. The two stopped talking and Taehyung looked nervously over at Jimin. The pink-haired omega nodded softly at the beta and they came closer to the table. Everyone seemed to notice Yoongi staring and turned to look as well which seemed to make Taehyung more nervous.
Neither of them sat down at the table and Jimin stood close to Taehyung as the blonde cleared his throat and began to speak.
“I owe you all an explanation to what has been going on with me lately. Why I had a seizure and what was wrong with me yesterday. Not only that but what will be wrong with me in the near future.” the beta looked down at his hands now and Jimin seemed to rub his back encouragingly.
“It would be easier if I started from the beginning.” with that he looked at Jin and Namjoon who seemed to be a bit surprised. “I haven’t told anyone about before I joined Namjoon’s pack and I honestly didn’t think I would. It’s not about trust because I trust every one of you with my life but it was about hiding, I guess. I thought that if I didn’t think about it then it would go away. If I pretended it wasn’t there in my memories maybe it would erase itself or I would forget. That’s not the case.” he went on and Yoongi could tell that this was hard for him but he was trying and that made the elder want to embrace him.
“I’m the heir to the Kim pack, my family pack. Though not in the sense that I would lead the pack but that whoever mated me would and I would be by their side. So when a handsome guy stepped forward to be my mate and my family approved I was ready to dive head it. I was a sucker for true love and I thought that he was my happy ever after. He turned out to be the villain in my Cinderella story.” Taehyung spoke evenly but Yoongi could seem him struggling with telling his story.
“He only wanted me for the title that came with me and had already found a beautiful second mate to rule the pack with. He said he would make sure none of my children would ever lead the pack. His true colors began to show and I confronted him. I said I wouldn’t mate him if he didn’t love me. He told me my parents agreed for him to be the next led alpha regardless of my feelings for him. So I ran away after two years with him.” he paused for a second before continuing but he hadn’t looked up from his hands yet.
“I ran away and lived on the streets for three years before Namjoon picked me up at 18. Before I left it was only to suppress it you know, suppress it until it was time to mate. Then on the streets, it was safer this way, I didn’t have to watch my back as much. I was less likely to get hurt if I hid it.” Taehyung went on and tapered off a bit at the end.
“Hid what Taehyung?” Yoongi asked softly as he looked at the blonde for any indication of what he could be hiding.
“That I’m an omega…” he spoke softly but the room was quiet so everyone heard.
If Yoongi thought the room was quiet before it was now void of any noise including that of the world outside of the house. It felt like Yoongi was in that room again and gave him a feeling like something was crawling on his skin.
Taehyung still hadn’t looked up and he even closed his eyes so Yoongi took a look around for him.
Jungkook was staring right at Taehyung but it looked like he was looking through the bet- omega. Namjoon and Jin both looked sad but not surprised by the news of Taehyung being an omega. Hoseok looked just as shocked as Yoongi himself was and by the looks of Jimin he had known as well.
“Why didn’t you say something once you joined Namjoon?” Hoseok asked and Yoongi had to admit it was a good question.
“I was scared to be an omega again, what if this new pack only wanted me for my secondary gender. Not only that but being a beta was my identity by then and it didn’t feel right being an omega again.” Taehyung answered honestly and Yoongi could understand where the other was coming from. If he had been a beta his life in the orphanage would have been a lot better and he would have never gone to the shelter if he was a beta.
“Then the seizure?” Yoongi found himself asking as he looked from Hoseok back to Taehyung.
“I ran out of my suppressants and I couldn’t get new ones unless my new alpha signed for them and I was too scared to ask Namjoon. Plus I had already been off of them for a few days before I even was seen. I had a seizure because I stopped cold turkey on a drug I’ve been taking for about half my life.” Yoongi’s heart broke for the blonde omega and Yoongi found himself standing up and making his way to the younger member.
Yoongi could see Taehyung tense up as he heard footsteps coming his way but he didn’t move. The white-haired omega wrapped his arms around Taehyung and pulled him into a hug. Yoongi pressed his face into the others collarbone since that was where he could reach with how tall Taehyung was.
“It doesn’t matter to me what you are you are still my Taehyung,” Yoongi spoke softly and released some calming mint so the other would relax a bit. It was no wonder why Taehyung connected to Yoongi so much when he first came to the pack. Omega’s tend to become closer than other genders to one another, they protect each other and form strong bonds with other omegas.
“Thank you hyung.” the blonde spoke with a shaky voice and wrapped his arms around Yoongi in return. The taller member relaxing into Yoongi’s embrace and soon another set of arms wrapped around them, Jimin. Then Hoseok followed and soon there was a huge group hug taking place in the kitchen.
“I was so scared you would all hate me for hiding this,” Taehyung mumbled into the masses pressed against him as he tried to hold back his sniffling.
“Taehyung you are a part of our pack no matter your secondary gender. Either you presented as a beta or an omega I still would have picked you up and treated your the same.” Namjoon spoke softly as he ran a comforting hand through the beta’s hair.
A few more moments passed before the group started to pull away but only after Jin started to complain that the food he cooked was going to get cold. As everyone pulled apart Yoongi noticed Jungkook had been the furthest from Taehyung in the hugging moment they all had and even after he still looked lost.
Yoongi ate breakfast watching Jungkook most of the time and Taehyung seemed to be doing the same. Yoongi knew he was definitely going to have to talk to all three of them separately not more than ever. After all, they were his family and he didn’t want to see any of them get hurt. If they weren’t going to open their eyes then Yoongi was going to open them for them. The white-haired omega was done with the pain it was time for everyone to heal and be happy.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi waited until after breakfast to approach Jimin and luckily he was alone. Taehyung had to run by his college to pick up some homework he had missed when he was in the hospital and for the next couple of days. The doctors had written him a note to excuse him from classes. They wanted his transition from ‘beta’ to omega to be as easy as possible. It would have been hard to do if he was forced to worry about classes and being around unfamiliar alpha’s all day. Jimin had gone to Yoongi’s room to grab some clothes so that they could change when Yoongi caught him. The elder omega closed the door and Jimin turned around from the noise. “Hyung?” He asked questioningly as he pulled the clothes to his chest and turned to face Yoongi. “So Taehyung?” Yoongi asked and the elder knew it was a rather broad question but he wanted to see what would happen when asked about the other vaguely. “T-Taehyung…What about him hyung?” The pink-haired omega began to blush a bit as he tried to play off his reaction. “You know what Jimin.” The elder accused pointedly as the elder omega leaned back against the door as if to block it off so the other knew he couldn’t escape. “You were not every quiet Jimin.” The white-haired omega supplied him with a bit more information. If Yoongi thought he was blushing before now his face was aflame. “I-I...We.” The omega began but Yoongi cut him off before he could continue. “I don’t mind if you like Taehyung but if this is just a fling or something I suggest you stop. Taehyung is going through some stuff right now and you know it. I don’t want you to make it harder on him if your feelings aren’t genuine. I love you Jimin but I love Taehyung too. I don’t want either of you getting hurt.” The elder said calmly but with a neutral face. He wasn’t trying to go after the other but he wanted him to know he was being serious. “I like him hyung but last night wasn’t really about that I guess. I gave in because I liked him but I think he wanted a distraction from everything going on. If I could relieve even a bit of the pain and confusion it was worth it.” Jimin stated in his defense and Yoongi scowled a bit at that. “Does that sound healthy though? He was struggling and having sex isn’t going to stop it or make it go away. Once the high is gone the problem is still there. Plus you guys don’t even know each other that well. You should have distracted him by getting to know each other if you like him.” Yoongi stated and Jimin shrunk in on himself a bit. “I guess you’re right hyung.” The other omega said quietly. One of his hands played with the fabric of the clothes as he avoided Yoongi’s face. “There is another thing you should know,” Yoongi said a bit more serious again. “Jungkook and Taehyung have liked each other for a long time. For longer than I’ve been with the pack. They are just idiots and haven’t confessed to one another yet.” He pauses as he watched Jimin shrink in on himself further. “I’m not saying give up but I’m warning you they have history. I don’t want you to get so invested only to get hurt. I want you to know what you are getting into.” Yoongi informed him and Jimin looked up at his elder with confusion and determination. “Can omega’s even be together?” He asked sounding a bit hopeful and Yoongi sighed sorrowfully. Jimin had no idea how any of this worked. He’s always been with alpha’s and alphas are almost always with an omega. The elder reached out and pulled Jimin against his chest with the other’s face against his neck to calm him. “Yes, Chim, omegas can be together. Anyone can be together honey. It doesn’t have to be an alpha and omega. Look at Namjoon and Jin Hyung. They are alpha and beta, I’ve never seen a more suited couple.” He spoke into the other’s pink locks. “Alphas can be with alphas too. Any pairing is compatible if they accept each other’s mating mark. Though the world does see same secondary gender matings as taboo it’s not illegal or wrong. The only reason you see alphas and omegas together the most is because of fertility.” Yoongi continued to speak softly to the other. “What do you mean hyung?” The other asked again with even more hope in his voice. “Well, the best match for bearing children is an alpha and omega. The success rate is higher than other pairings. Around 90% and it gets higher if they are successful mated or the omega is in heat. Now, something like Namjoon and Jin Hyung would have a lower rate but not impossible. They would be around 75% successful in having children. Two betas would be 50% and two omegas would be around 30%. Now two male alpha is impossible, they don’t have the right equipment to carry a child. But if one is a female alpha she can get pregnant. A male alpha and female alpha’s chances would be around 80%. But two female alpha’s wouldn’t be able to conceive either, after all, they lack a penis. Though she can mate with any male secondary gender and get pregnant though those ratings differ depending.”“Why isn’t there more alpha pairings then, with females I mean,” Jimin asked as he nuzzled into Yoongi’s collar bone. “Well, they are more aggressive by nature and don’t like being dominated. That makes alpha couples dangerous. They often fight and most times it’s physical. Not often do you find a submissive alpha.” Yoongi supplied and Jimin nodded softly. “So it’s not impossible,” Jimin mumbled more to himself but Yoongi broke him out of his daydream. “Though that’s if everyone is of normal fertility. People can be less fertile or even sterile.” Yoongi stated to the other omega. “So I have a chance?” He asked again and Yoongi sighed softly but nodded his head against the top of Jimin’s to answer. “But it’s up to Taehyung,” Yoongi added “Of course it is.” Jimin nodded in agreement and a few seconds passed in silence. “I also heard you were rather friendly with Jungkook when I was in heat.” The elder tried to say nonchalantly. “Could you like Jungkook too?” He asked softly. Jimin stiffened in his arms before speaking. “What? No, he’s an alpha. I don’t th-“ Yoongi cut him off. “It’s okay that he’s an alpha you know. Not all alphas are bad Jimin. Look at Namjoon and Hoseok if you want to deny Jungkook. He’s a good kid even if he can be hard to navigate sometimes. He isn’t one to open up quickly but it seems he took just as fast as a liking to you as you did him.” Yoongi said into the others pink locks again. “It’s, well. He smells nice. He reminds me of the woods around the orphanage. I know you didn’t like going outside but I did and he smells like the trees and grass that grew around that building. It reminds me of when times were easier even if I didn’t have a family. I had you and that was all I needed.” Jimin explained softly and Yoongi could understand that. After all, it was similar to him and Hoseok. The orange-haired alpha smelled like the candles his mother would light throughout the house.“I just want you all to be happy and this isn’t looking like a situation where everything ends up fine. I feel like either one of you will get very hurt or you all will.” Yoongi said honestly to the younger. Jimin didn’t say anything as he nuzzled closer to his hyung for comfort. “I love you Jimin and I’m worried. I’ll be here for you if you want to talk or need support. I want you to be happy if anyone deserves it, it’s you. I want all three of you to be happy. So...just be careful.” Yoongi finished his speech and all Jimin did was nod into his chest. “I’m gonna go shower, hyung. Thank you.” The pink-haired omega spoke softly before backing up from the embrace and leaving Yoongi in his room. One down two to go.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Let me take you on a date.” A voice spoke behind him. Slightly startled, Yoongi turned around in the kitchen and came face to face with Hoseok. The omega had just finished his talk with Jimin and still had to talk to the other two.
“If that’s okay” The alpha quickly added with a blush dusting over his face. The smile that the other wore was impossible to say no to, even if Yoongi felt he needed to speak to the others.
“Okay. When?” Yoongi asked softly as he slowly let a smile spread over his face. It was gummy and small compared to Hoseok’s but the other smiled wider at the sight of it.
“Today, and don’t worry, I have the whole date planned.” The orange-haired alpha said as he held out a hand to the omega.
Yoongi placed his hand in the waiting one and hopped off the stool at the island. The alpha pulled him towards the door and they grabbed their jackets and put on their shoes.
“I know you’ve been placing a lot of pressure on yourself. I see you worrying for the younger members. I thought this would help you relax a bit.” Hoseok said softly as he led the other out of the house.
“Thank you Hoseok. So where are we going?” He asked while smiling at the other.
“Can’t tell you, it’s a surprise.” Hoseok quickly said and Yoongi said nothing else as they walked hand in hand to wherever Hoseok led them.
The walk wasn’t too long and Yoongi recognized where they were going but he said nothing. They turned the corner and the lamb skewer place came into view and Yoongi smirked.
Jungkook must have said something to Hoseok or he must have asked the younger. He remembered telling the other how he would have to come back and eat the lamb skewers since he only had one piece.
“I heard from a little bird that you wanted to eat here.” Hoseok beamed at him as he held the door open for the white-haired omega. Yoongi laughed in response before nodding as they were seated.
“A rather muscular bird I’d say.” Jungkook was fit but recently he started going to the gym around his classes during the day. The younger had been packing on muscles over the past few weeks.
They say at their table and besides the lamb skewers, they got a few sides and some drinks to wash it all down. The two spoke quietly to one another as they waited for their food.
Hoseok was going on about how he’d been spending more time at the dance studio. He was working on some new dances for his groups and cleaning out the spare room, saying he had some project he was working on that he needed it to be clean for. Yoongi didn’t ask more about the project since he seemed to be keeping it as a secret.
The omega had noticed the alpha had been missing a bit more than usual. Though with Taehyung having problems with his health the alpha was home a bit more now. They had all been a bit high-stress recently, what with Taehyung secret coming to light, Yoongi even more so than the others. He was worried about the relationships blooming around and what it could mean for them all.
The food coming to the table cut off his train of thought as the dishes were placed in front of them. The smell was enough to make Yoongi’s mouth water. The past few days had been hectic and Jin hadn’t really made anything since Taehyung had his seizure.
The two members sat and ate while making light conversation. Yoongi mostly ate as he felt he had been eating less and less the past few days. He felt like he had to make up for it know and with all of this food how could he refuse his stomach. The omega ate his fill and then more but the alpha across from him didn’t seem deterred. Hoseok even placed some of his own meat on his plate and smiled at the white-haired omega. Yoongi couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter at the action but it wasn’t only that.
This whole date and treating him made the omega’s heart flutter. Hoseok was nothing but a gentleman and was patient with the elder. Not only with their confusing unaddressed relationship but with everything. The young alpha never pushed him into doing anything he didn’t want to do and even went out of his way to make sure the omega was happy and healthy.
Whenever the white-haired omega thought of the alpha his heart sped up and he would find himself smiling to himself. The orange-haired male did things to him that Yoongi didn’t even know could happen. Yoongi never let himself think about love or the possibility of a happy ending for himself. In the shelter, they gave you no room to dream and if you had been foolish enough too then it would be crushed.
Hoseok gave Yoongi a feeling deep in his chest that warmed his cold heart and thawed his sole way of thinking. He brought light to the darkness that clouded his heart and mind. In his head, he was still trapped in that dark, silent, cell with nothing but his thoughts. Hoseok lit that room and threw open the door. His light led Yoongi from his cell and to a place where he could be happy, but only if he let himself be.
Yoongi was tired of the mind games and wanted to take that step closer to the light and see what real happiness was, what love felt like. Yoongi was ready and Hoseok seemed to be willing to take him there.
“Hyung?” a familiar voice called to him from across the table. The omega snapped out of his thoughts and locked eyes with a rather flustered looking alpha. They had finished their food and the waitress was bring Hoseok’s card back to him, he must have already paid.
“I’m sorry Hoseok what did you say?” Yoongi asked softly as he watched the other a bit confused. The question seemed to make the other nervous as he blushed harder and looked off to the side away from Yoongi’s eyes.
“I-I said Could I show you something? Take you somewhere before we head home.” the alpha said again as he bit his lip and turned back to his elder. The action of biting his lip momentarily distracted Yoongi but he quickly looked back up to his eyes.
“Of course, I’m all yours this evening.” the omega sent him a small reassuring smile before giving him a small nod to further the encouragement.
“Great, let’s go then.” the orange-haired alpha quickly got up from his seat, clearly still flustered, and held his hand out for Yoongi. For Yoongi this was more than just an awaiting hand to help him up. This was his time to make a decision, was he ready to move forward in his life and stop letting his past hold him back?
Without another thought, a pale hand slid into Hoseok’s pending one and watched as Hoseok’s smile grew wider as the warmth spread through each other’s palms.
They exited the restaurant hand in hand and began to walk the streets. Hoseok swung their hands softly as he hummed a small tone to Yoongi. The white-haired omega couldn't help but smile at the ray of sunshine behind him and soon pulled closer to the alpha. They walked in sync as Yoongi rested his head on Hoseok's shoulder and just listened to the other hum.
The song was vaguely familiar but he didn't ponder too much on that as he just enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Yoongi couldn't have told you how long they had walked for but with Hoseok by his side, he didn't care much.
It was when Hoseok began to slow when Yoongi opened his eyes carefully. He was scared the sun would hurt his eyes but the sun was setting slowly as he adjusted quickly.
Looking around he recognized the building as Hoseok's workplace and turned to the other a bit confused. Hoseok just smiled nervously at him as he unlocked the door and held it open for the omega. It was past hours but Hoseok had told him that he was friends with the owner and could go to the studio any time.
Yoongi entered the building and scanned the area, nothing seemed to be out of place from the last time he had been here. He heard the door close behind him as footsteps neared the omega. All of the mirrors on the wall gave him completely view but he didn't have to look in them to know it was Hoseok coming close.
A hand slid back into his and he accepted the gesture with a small squeeze before the alpha smiled back at him. The nervous look on his face was back again but then again it could have never left.
"I want to show you what I've been working on, but first." The alpha told him before dropping his hand and disappearing to the office only to be back moments later.
The omega could tell he was holding something behind his back and Yoongi could feel his heart speed up again. He could have looked in the mirrors to see what it was but he didn't want to. He wanted Hoseok to be the one to show him whatever it was.
Hoseok pulled his hands out from behind his back and held out a box towards the omega. It was a small box, a bit bigger than the alpha's hand, Yoongi was suddenly just as nervous as Hoseok. It was gray and appeared to be a velvet box with a white ribbon wrapped around it.
The colors didn't escape the omega and he found himself blushing more at the color choice. Gray to match his eyes and white to match his hair, Yoongi's face was aflame.
"W-What is this?" he asked a bit in shock as he looked from the box back to Hoseok with wide eyes.
"Min Yoongi, would you allow me to court you?" the alpha said softly as he watched the omega with hopeful brown eyes.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Gray eyes stared deeply into brown ones as Yoongi’s brain tried to process what was just asked of him. It was safe to say that the white-haired omega’s brain had short-circuited and he was waiting for it to boot back up. Hoseok squirmed a bit in front of him from the lack of response on Yoongi’s part. The alpha’s eyes darted from his eyes to face and even looked at his body language. The poor alpha was trying to find any sort of hint to how the other was feeling. “C-court me?” he asked still in shock and all Hoseok could do in response was nod his head. It seemed like the alpha was too nervous to say much else as he waited. “If you’d like,” Hoseok added softly after a short moment and smiled softly as he waited patiently. “Yes, I- yes, Hoseok.” The omega laughed excitedly and Hoseok responded with a relieved chuckle as he launched forward and embraced the smaller male. The alpha wrapped his arms around him and pulled him close to his chest as he planted kisses to the top of his head. “Oh thank God, I was so nervous.” Hoseok chuckled out again and Yoongi pressed closer to his chest with a gummy smile. It was still odd to him that this was all happening. Yoongi was so sure that he wouldn’t have a happy ending and that we would be sent back to the shelter over and over again until they kicked him out into the street for being worthless. He was so sure his story would end with him alone in an alleyway dying from the cold, thirst, and hunger. If someone would have told him that he would be courted in his life when he was back in the shelter he would have laughed in their face. He would have called them crazy and shoved past them back to his shell where he could mourn his loss. He had been so sure of this that in this moment with Hoseok, Yoongi found himself crying. They weren’t sad tears, and Hoseok seemed to notice that because he held on tighter to the other’s smaller body. Tears absorbed into the alpha’s shirt as he cried softly and pulled on the back of Hoseok’s shirt with his hands, the fabric undoubtedly being stretched horribly in the back where he fisted the material. “Yoongi,” a soft voice called to him and a small nod pressed against Hoseok’s chest. A warm smile spread over the alpha’s face in response. “I still have something to give you.” he reminded the omega and soon the two were letting go of their embrace. Yoongi instantly missed the warmth that wrapped around him even when the alpha was fully clothed. He could still feel the hot body heat that pressed through the articles between them while in their embrace. Once apart, the omega wiped his face and smiled tenderly at the alpha as he handed Yoongi the box. He bit his lip as he slowly untied the ribbon and wrapped it around his palm so he wouldn’t lose it. His fingers then found the edge of the box and lifted it and what he saw inside was not what he had been expecting. Laying on a white pillow like cushion were two things, one was a beautiful silver and black ring and the other was a rather old and used looking piano key. The ring was made of black metal but had silver as well and it looked like the keys of a piano. The design wrapped around the entire ring and Yoongi felt like crying all over again. He had never received something so beautiful and personal before, the very sight of it took his breath away. Yoongi hadn’t even noticed the alpha get closer until he was plucking the ring off the pillow and held out his hand with a smile. “May I?” he asked quietly even though they were alone, and it just made things feel more personal and intimate than before. Without hesitation, Yoongi slid his left hand into Hoseok’s and the alpha’s smile grew as he slid the ring onto the omega’s ring finger. “Think of it as a promise ring.” Hoseok said softly as he looked from their joined hands back to Yoongi’s face before continuing. “ One day when we are both ready, I plan on making you, Min Yoongi, my mate. If you’ll still have me,” he spoke softly as he moved his hand to push some hair behind Yoongi’s ear. Yoongi nodded happily as he tried to hold back tears while looking at the ring on his hand. It all seemed too much to the small omega and he couldn’t help but feel like he didn’t deserve all of this. Hoseok was too perfect and deserved someone like that in return, not a broken omega. “One more thing,” he spoke softly as he moved his hand to reach back down into the box. His long tanned fingers wrap around the worn, off white piano key. He smiled at the rectangular object before walking to the door to his side. He opened it slowly and flicked on the lights to the room. It Yoongi was overtaken with emotions before he felt like he was going through puberty all over again. The omega was feeling lightheaded as he stumbled forward a bit and grabbed Hoseok’s arm for support. “You bought me a piano?” he asked, still in shock as he looked from the beautiful new looking piano before him to Hoseok at his side. The alpha smiled even wider and nodded his head as he looked from Yoongi to the piano. “I went to buy you a new one but this one caught my eye. It was broken and the keys had been used, falling apart, or missing. The owner said it was given to him but it was so broken that he was going to throw it out. I knew it was the one I wanted for you.” he spoke next to the omega as they both looked at the piano. “So I bought it and took it somewhere else to patch it up. I found someone who saw its worth and they helped me patch it back up. Now, look at it! It’s just as nice as any new piano but this one has a history.” Yoongi turned to look at Hoseok and the alpha turned to do the same. Hoseok raised his hand and between his fingers was the old white key, yellowed from age and use. “Yoongi, I know you think you are broken, you think you are damaged goods that no one wants and should be thrown away because of it. I disagree. I can see your worth and I’m not saying you need fixing because I like you just the way you are. I do think that you are just as nice and worth as much as any other omega though. No matter your history. Just like the piano, I may never know what happened to you or it.” Hoseok lowered the old key and placed it into Yoongi’s hand. “It’s still a part of you though and that’s nothing to be ashamed of. One day you will heal from your past and feel like you don’t have to watch your back. I want to help you heal and watch your back when you’re turned away. So no matter how ‘new’ you look or put together you seem, don’t forget your past.” Hoseok said and it shocked Yoongi. He was so use to people telling him to forget about his past so he can move on when he finally gets out of the shelter. Yoongi looked up from the key in his hands to Hoseok. “Don’t forget because that is still a part of who you are. A part of what made you Min Yoongi. I know it must have been painful and horrible but there are lessons to be learned in one’s past. To forget it isn’t only hiding from it but turning your back on a part of yourself. It’s turning your back on your struggle and maybe down the line, you can help someone who was like you.” Hoseok finished as he searched Yoongi’s eyes for a reaction. The alpha didn’t want to tell him what to do but he felt like he should give his advice on it. Yoongi didn’t have to listen to him, but just from looking at the other, Hoseok knew his feelings reached the omega. “I love you.” came a small but sure voice, and this time it was Hoseok’s turn to be in shock. “W-what?!” he looked wide-eyed down at the omega as teary one’s looked back at him. “I said I love you Hoseok. I know it seems so soon but I’m sure I am in love with you. No one has ever treated me this way or gifted me anything before. No one has talked so genuinely to me or cared so deeply.” Yoongi said through tears as he watched the alpha. Yoongi thought about Jimin for a second but he didn’t count. After all, Yoongi saw him as a brother, not a love interest and Yoongi was talking about romantic love, not brotherly. The alpha now looked down at him, red-faced, but smiled widely and chuckled down at Yoongi. He looked nervous again but the omega didn’t think it was in a bad way. “I love you too,” Hoseok spoke back to Yoongi and reached down to grab the hand holding the old piano key. Once his fingers wrapped around the elder’s wrist he tugged it toward him and Yoongi collided with the alpha who pulled him into a deep kiss. Moments passed as they stood lip locked in the entryway to the spare room of Hoseok’s workplace. Once they pulled apart again they both panted softly as they looked at one another. “How did you pay for all of this?” Yoongi found himself asking as he looked back towards the piano. “Well I had some money saved but I asked Jin for some help. I think I will be washing the dishes for the rest of my life though.” he laughed as he paced his head against the omega’s still feeling blissful. “I don’t have anything for you.” Yoongi finally realized as he backed his head away so he could look Hoseok in the eyes again. The alpha laughed as he watched the now slightly distraught omega look at him with worried eyes. “You don’t have to get me anything. I don’t need gifts because I am the one courting you.” Hoseok clarified as he lowered his head to press his nose into the other’s scent gland. The slightly unhappy mint smell soon changed to happy again and Hoseok smiled into his neck. “Oh.” was all Yoongi said in return as he rubbed his head up against his alpha, well his alpha to be. “Want to try it out?” Hoseok asked softly as he pulled away from the other’s neck and raised an eyebrow. Yoongi nodded with excitement and they pulled away so they could both go sit at the bench. The omega tested a few keys before he began to play a soft but happy song. Time passed like this for what seemed like hours but neither moved from their spots. Yoongi was sitting upright playing cheerful songs while Hoseok laid against him and listened. Though after a while Yoongi stopped playing and turned to the alpha. “Where am I going to keep this?” he asked a bit fearful now and Hoseok laughed softly. “Here, that’s why I cleaned out the spare room. Anytime you want to play just let me know, I have a key to the place and permission from the owner. Plus you can come with me to work if you’d like and you can play while I dance.” he said easily and Yoongi couldn't help but smile. The alpha seemed to have it all planned out and this wasn’t just in impulse but a genuinely thought out gift. “We should go home, it is getting late,” Yoongi said softly as he pulled the blackboard down to cover the keys. Hoseok nodded his head and got up once Yoongi stood as well. The two locked up the studio and walked back to the house hand in hand.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
A week had gone by since Hoseok gave him the ring and piano as a courting gift. The two were spending more time together than ever before and Yoongi had never been happier. The two would go to Hoseok’s job and Yoongi would practice pieces as the alpha danced. Yoongi even started to write his own music with Namjoon to help when he needed it.
The two would grab coffee after Hoseok would get off work before heading home. They would grab lunch together and sometimes dinner as well. Everything was going smoothly with the two pack mates and the rest of the pack was happy for them. Everything was perfect….well almost.
The terrible three were getting worse. Taehyung was downright ignoring Jungkook, Jungkook was trying to talk with Taehyung about everything, and Jimin was the one who was trying to talk to both Taehyung and Jungkook. It seemed since Taehyung and Jungkook stopped talking to each other Jimin has grown very close to both of them, just separately.
Yoongi wanted to get lost in Hoseok and his new and blooming relationship but he couldn’t. How could Yoongi be happy when three of his pack mates were anything but. Yoongi wanted nothing but to see everyone be happy and healthy and right now it was neither. None of the three were truly happy and it wasn’t healthy to any of them to ignore each other or for Jimin to try and keep the peace.
So when Yoongi saw Taehyung sitting on the couch flipping through shows on the tv the white-haired omega knew it was his chance.
“Taehyung, I need your help with something. Are you free right now?” Yoongi asked sweetly and Taehyung looked over at him with a pointed look.
“What do you want hyung?” he asked softly as he slowly raised the remote and clicked the tv off.
“Well I was thinking of getting Hoseok something and I need your opinion and help shopping for it.” The omega asked still keeping up his sweet voice and letting off calming pheromones.
The other seemed to deem the request safe and stopped squinting at the elder and smiled at him instead. “I’d love to help you hyung.” he jumped up from the couch and quickly ran to his room to grab a jacket before meeting Yoongi back in the living room.
“All ready, let’s go!” Taehyung smiled but then it seemed to falter a bit as he looked up to meet Yoongi’s eyes.
“When do you think we will be home?” the younger asked and Yoongi didn’t need to ask to know why. Every day when Jungkook gets out of his classes Taehyung runs and hides in his room or leaves until dinner. Once dinner starts he comes downstairs or home and eats quickly before running to his room to sleep.
“I was thinking we could eat out for dinner and then come home after.” The elder omega said and he could see the sigh of relief that left him at not having to come home and walk past Jungkook.
With that the two leave and make their way to the mall, they had called a taxi because it was getting colder out and Namjoon was at work. The ride was quiet but in a comforting way and not an awkward one.
Once inside the building, the two began to walk from store to store looking at different items. Yoongi would pick something up and look at them before placing them back down. Nothing seemed to speak to him and nothing spoke ‘Hoseok’ when he looked at it.
“So do you know what you want to get him?” the other omega asked and Yoongi just bit his lip softly in response. He hadn’t really had one thing in mind, he just wanted to gift something to the alpha.
“Not really, I was hoping I would know when I saw it,” Yoongi answer lamely as they exited one store and made their way into another. This one was a jewelry store and instantly Yoongi’s interest was peaked.
He should get the alpha something like his ring, something he could wear to show he was claimed. It didn’t take long for Yoongi to notice a necklace in the case that called to him.
“Can I see that necklace,” Yoongi asked as he pointed into the case. The women smiled and nodded before unlocking the case and reaching in to retrieve the jewelry. She brought out the necklace and handed it to the omega who held it gingerly in his hands.
The necklace was silver which matched his ring perfectly but that was were the similarities stopped. The chain was average length and hanging from it was a few charms. One was a quaver, better known as the eighth note in music. Another charm was a small amethyst next to the music note and on the other side was a small silver circle.
“I’ll take this. Also, can it be engraved?” he asked quietly as he looked from the necklace in his hands back to the women. She nodded her head and carefully took the necklace from the omega.
“What would you like engraved on it Sir?” she asked as she walked a few steps to the machine that will do the engraving.
“ Just the letter ‘Y’ on the small circle please,” he responded and turned around to see Taehyung talking with another woman as he looked at the rings.
A couple of minutes passed and soon the women was placing the necklace in a box before placing it in the bag. He paid for the necklace and walked to Taehyung who was caught up in a conversation about the different cuts of diamonds and which were the best.
“Okay Taehyung let’s go,” he said as he placed a hand on the other shoulder. The younger omega turned to face him with a smile. He said goodbye to the women and as they walked out he noticed the bag.
“You bought something? Can I see?” he asked excitedly as he jumped in front of Yoongi’s path to block him.
“No.” the elder simply stated and walked around the childish pack member. A soft whine could be heard behind him and Yoongi couldn’t help but smile and chuckle softly.
“When can I see it?” he asked as the blonde ran to catch up to Yoongi. The white-haired omega hummed in response which only made the other groan again.
“I guess when Hoseok is wearing it,” he replied after the blonde had continued to bug him for a few more minutes.
The two exited the mall after that and made there way down the street. They had decided not to grab a taxi since the lamb skewer place was rather close and was a halfway point from the mall to home.
A few minutes of walking and they were inside the warm building with the smell of food all around them. They were seated in a booth that was rather private and it helped that they were the only ones in the shop aside from the workers.
Yoongi waited until they had ordered their drink and food before he decided to go in on Taehyung. The white-haired omega inhaled deeply as he readied himself for the conversation, he had no idea how this was going to go.
“Taehyung I think it’s time we talked.” he started and instantly the youngers eyes were on him. He looked a bit nervous but tried to play it off. Even from the other side of the table, Yoongi could see him wipe his palms on his jeans.
“About what hyung?” he asked softly and just listening to him Yoongi could hear the desperation, it was calling to him. I said ‘please, let’s not have this conversation now or ever’. Yoongi wasn’t listening to that voice, someone had to step in and Namjoon and Jin were too tied up in work to really see what was going on.
Yoongi felt like it was his job as pack omega to sort this all out so that everyone could be happy. So there was no way in hell Yoongi was going to let this conversation die and never be brought up again. It was now or never.
“About Jimin, Jungkook, and yourself.” Yoongi clarified even if they both knew what elder had been talking about. He watches as Taehyung visibly deflated and turned to look at the set of tables next to him instead of looking at Yoongi.
“I know this isn’t something that you want to talk about but we need too. It’s like walking on eggshells at home. I just want everyone to be happy. You can’t do that if you ignore your problems.” The elder said as he watched Taehyung carefully.
It was a few moments before Taehyung found it in himself to respond to Yoongi but the elder waited patiently.
“You don’t understand hyung, this is so complicated now. It’s all messed up and it’s my fault. I’m messing everything up and I don’t know how to fix it.” the younger spoke sadly and softly from across the table.
“Help me understand then,” Yoongi said and boy was he not ready for what he was about to hear.
Taehyung told him about how Jungkook confessed, how it was before he knew he was an omega. Taehyung told him about how he was scared to be treated differently by the alpha and how he would take being lied to since they had met years ago. Taehyung went on about how his hormones were changing and how he was confused about some of the things he was feeling.
Going from beta to omega was difficult especially because it had suppressed his instincts and how he should act around other pack members. Yoongi didn’t know how that felt but he couldn’t help but feel bad for the confused omega in front of him.
“I feel like the best thing to do is talk. Nothing will be solved if we continue like this and it will only hurt your relationship with both of them. You care for them, even I can see that. Pushing Jungkook away will only ruin things and your relationship with him will never be the same.” Yoongi spoke calmly to the blonde. Mint filled the air around them and Yoongi reached across the table and grabbed Taehyung’s hand.
“He has been your best friend and secret crush for how long? You don’t think he would look past the whole omega thing? No matter what you are still Taehyung and I think Jungkook sees that. You could be missing out on your perfect ending by ignoring him.” Yoongi continued as he brushed his thumb over the other’s knuckles.
“That being said don’t forget about Jimin. I know about you two sleeping together, you were loud enough. I don’t want to see any of you get hurt. I think the three of you need to sit down and come clean about your feelings. In the meantime talk with Jungkook alone, you both have a lot to sort out.” with that Yoongi smiled encouragingly at him before standing up and walking towards the exit. Confused, Taehyung watched him and was about to call out to Yoongi but then his eyes met Jungkook’s at the doorway.
“Jungkook?!” Taehyung spoke a bit shocked as he looked at the youngest member of the pack.
“Taehyung!?” Jungkook replied seeming just as surprised as the other.
Yoongi just smiled as he prepaid and watched them stare at one another. “Go sit down Jungkook, talk to one another. I want this sorted out before you get home tonight.” the eldest spoke and watched as the waitress brought out their food and drinks.
Taehyung looked slightly scared and worried as Jungkook nodded at Yoongi before taking a seat across from Taehyung. The alpha looked determined and Yoongi could only hope that the two would figure it all out. For the sake of the whole pack.
((The Necklace))
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Taehyung watched desperately and a bit hurt as their hyung escaped out the restaurant door. He watched until the white-haired omega was out of view and the door had long past closed behind him. The blonde omega was scared to turn around and face his problem head-on. He has been putting this off since the truth came to light and he didn’t feel ready to address it.
“Taehyung…” an all too familiar voiced called to him from the other side of the table. The voice was soft and gentle but also unsure and it was a voice Taehyung has never heard from the alpha. Be it from shock or wonder Taehyung finally turned to sit correctly in his chair and came face to face with Jungkook.
The alpha sat perfectly in his seat but seemed to be curling in on himself a bit, it was a sight Taehyung didn’t ever think he’d see. If Taehyung was being honest it hurt his heart to see his beloved bunny looking this way. It hurt even worse when he realized that he was the cause of it. It was then that Taehyung knew that he had to come clean.
“Jungkook you deserve the truth and for all these years I’ve been hiding it from you. From now on I won’t make that mistake again. To do that though I have to come clean about a few other things.” Taehyung started but after that, he found it harder to continue. He was scared of what the other would think and if he would think differently about him or not.
“Since Namjoon hyung took me in all those years ago I developed a crush on you. It was like cancer.” Once it was out of his mouth he couldn’t take it back. He knew it was probably not the best comparison but he would make Jungkook see why he used it.
“It started off slow and barely viable but then it grew and spread throughout the years. My small time crush turned into full-blown love before I knew it.” That seemed to spark something because the once wounded alpha looked up at him with pride and hope. It broke Taehyung’s hurt.
“Though I think that’s as far as my comparison goes because I know without you I would die. I was so done with love and alpha’s when I first met you. I didn’t think I would ever change but then you came into my world and ruined everything.” Taehyung said as he let out a wet chuckle. The blonde omega rubbed his face as he willed himself not to cry because he knew this next part was going to break the other’s heart.
“Then when you told me you loved me back in the hospital I was shocked, relieved, bitter all in one. I thought you had found out I was an omega and that’s what pushed you to make the move. Now we could be the perfect strong alpha with the weak omega couple.” he bit out as he tried to delay the heartbreak for the both of them.
“Tae that isn’t true, no matter your secondary gender I love you. I’ve loved you for so long that I can’t even remember what not loving you felt like. It was the sudden seizure that pushed me to step forward. It showed me that life was too short and I didn’t know when our clocks would stop ticking. I didn’t- no I don’t want to live with any regrets that’s why I finally manned up.” Jungkook interjected as he held eye contact with Taehyung. The alpha wanted to show him that he was serious and that it had nothing to do with him being an omega.
“I was so upset and confused.” Taehyung all but sobbed out and it was enough for Jungkook to get up and make his way around the table. The alpha sat next to the omega and pulled him closer so he could comfort the other. The food was long forgotten as they spoke openly to one another.
“I was upset, hurt, and my hormones were all over the place as they tried to right themselves. I-I slept with Jimin that night.” Taehyung finally got out as he clutched onto Jungkook’s leather jacket. It smelled of light rain and earth, it smelled like Jungkook and it relaxed the omega.
Taehyung felt the younger get tense under his hold and that only made the omega’s hold tighten. He was scared the alpha would leave and this would never be fixed after all it was like a huge slap to the face. He just told the love of his life that after he finally confessed to him he disregarded it and slept with another.
Tears slid down Taehyung’s face as he pressed his face deep into the curve of Jungkook’s neck. He wasn’t brave enough to look at his face so he was hoping his scent could tell him what the other was feeling.
Taehyung smelled many things like anger, betrayal, shock but mostly it was hurt. The very smell made Taehyung want to cower and submit but the omega fought it. Many agonizing moments passed before Jungkook spoke.
“Do you love him?” was the only thing that left his lips and it was distant almost emotionless in its delivery. Taehyung could no longer smell how upset the younger was and it was then that he realized that Jungkook was hiding his emotions from him. Just like how Taehyung did to him every day for years.
This caused the still crying blonde to pull away from Jungkook and look up into his face. Taehyung was positive it would have been easier if he was crying just like he was but instead he was met with a stone mask.
“I don’t know.” Taehyung found himself saying and he wanted to take it back and say no but he knew it would be a lie. Jungkook needed to know the truth and he wasn’t going to lie about Jimin anymore.
“It’s still too early but I know that this was how I felt about you in the beginning.” Taehyung clarified but Jungkook still seemed unfazed by the response.
“Who do you want Taehyung?” Jungkook asked next and not even Taehyung knew the answer to that question.
“I-I don’t know,” Taehyung responded slowly as he searched Jungkook’s eyes trying to find something, anything in them.
“Do you still want me?” the blonde found himself asking and once it left his mouth he turned frightened. Did he really want to know the answer to that question? Jungkook had every right to hate him now. Was this even a fair question to the young alpha?
“I still want you Taehyung, in whatever form you will give me. Omega or Beta. Friend, Lover, or Mate. Nothing you can do will change how I feel about you and I can wait. I can wait until you figure out who you want and then I will love with whichever you decide. I want you to be happy.” the alpha said and with those words came more tears on Taehyung’s part.
He didn’t deserve Jungkook, not after what he did to the alpha. When had the youngest of them grow up and why hadn’t he seen it?
Taehyung launched forward and grabbed onto Jungkook’s jacket again. Tears freely flowed down his face as he rubbed it into the leather.
“Don’t hide from me Jungkook, please.” Taehyung found himself saying and again the alpha tensed up under him.
“I’m not ready. Not yet, give me a few days.” It was like Taehyung could smell the jar tightening, closing off all of Jungkook’s scent. It hurt so much but it couldn’t have hurt as much as the love of your life sleeping with another.
“I like him too.” a small voice spoke over his soft whimpers. Taehyung wasn’t even sure if he was supposed to hear that but he had. The blonde pulled closer to the other’s neck in a desperate attempt to smell something even if he knew he wouldn’t.
“Jimin?” Taehyung asked softly as he tried to understand what the other was trying to say to him.
“Yea. I like Jimin too. I feel the same way. We’ve spent some time together and it reminds me of you in the beginning.” Jungkook continued and taehyung couldn’t help but feel a bit threatened for Jungkook’s affections now….. This must be how he feels as well.
Jungkook must have smelled his unhappiness at the statement and chuckled a bit in response. The alpha reached around the omega and pulled him closer to his chest, embracing him softly.
“I still love you, like I said nothing will change that. But we should talk to him, this is a three-person problem and only two of us are here.” Jungkook said softly as he threaded a hand through his hair.
“You’re right… When did you grow up!” Taehyung grumbled to the alpha as he nuzzled his face into the crook of the other’s neck.
“While you were off having piano lessons with Yoongi hyung.” the alpha laughed softly before he stopped petting the omega.
“On the topic of Yoongi hyung, we should eat this food. If he finds out he bought it all and we didn’t touch it he will be angry.” the younger one said as he slowly pulled away from the omega.
Taehyung nodded as he too pulled away and looked at the table where all the food still sat getting cold. The alpha and omega sat in silence as they both ate the food before them even if it had gotten a bit cold. The two feared the wrath of the white-haired omega and it was that fear that leads them to finish all the food.
They finished eating and thanked the employees before they headed out of the small restaurant. It had gotten really late while they talked and ate inside but neither seemed to mind. The two walked back to the house rather closely and as they neared the home Taehyung seemed to slow down.
Noticing this Jungkook also slowed down and soon the two came to a stop a block from their house.
“So are we okay for now?” Taehyung asked softly as he looked down at his feet, which scuffed the sidewalk as he kicked his right leg.
“Yea, we are okay. I’ll wait for you to decide but before then we should all three sit down and talk. We should all come to a conclusion, I don’t want anyone to get hurt.” Jungkook said but even to himself that seemed a bit impossible. How was no one going to get hurt in a situation like this? He wasn’t sure but he could only pray to whatever God there was and hope for the best.
“Right, we should talk to Jimin first then. That should be easy, hopefully, we won’t overwhelm him. After all, he just got back from some rather traumatic stuff. I don’t want to scare him away.” Taehyung said as he looked up and towards the alpha.
“We’ll be careful. Let’s go home.” Jungkook said softly as he reached out his hand to Taehyung and the blonde smiled before sliding his hand in the alpha’s.
The two walked hand in hand the rest of the way home in silence. It was a nice stroll home and after such a heavy talk Taehyung couldn’t help but think this was the best possible outcome. They walked up the front steps together and as Taehyung reached for the doorknob it twisted open and in the doorframe stood a rather disheveled Jimin.
Pink locks were out of place and his sweatshirt was only half pulled down as the omega was busy sliding his shoe on which he was holding. Shocked hazel eyes locked with Taehyung’s before shifting to Jungkook’s before falling to their locked hands.
“Oh…” was the only thing that left the softly brushed pink lips as he turned his gaze somewhere past Taehyung’s head. He dropped his shoe and backed up into the house where he could place them back.
Small hands reached down and righted his sweatshirt as he held his face low, hiding it. Taehyung moved forward first and let go of Jungkook’s hand to check on the other omega.
“Are you okay?” the blonde asked as he looked at the top of pink locks. The other omega still looked a bit unwell as he kicked off his other shoe next to the other.
“Yea, I was going to look for you guys. I didn’t know where you went and I was a bit worried. Yoongi wouldn’t tell me and the other’s didn’t know. So I left Yoongi alone in his room and I don’t have a phone soooo…..” the pink-haired omega trailed off.
The sigh of Jimin broke Taehyung’s heart because again he was hurting someone he loved. Jimin had been worried about him and was about to go searching when he didn’t even know this area well, plus he doesn’t have a phone. What if he had gotten lost too? Then the ‘oh’ when he saw Jungkook’s and Taehyung’s intertwined hands. How could Taehyung mess everything up? Stay tuned to find out…..
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi had dodged the question as to where the two younger members of the pack where. He didn’t want to cause any trouble and he figured he should stop meddling in their business now so that they can fix it. Jimin had left his room a bit upset but otherwise seemed fine and left Yoongi’s room without saying much else.
Yoongi turned back to his paper and wrote down a few notes down, he was writing a short song for the orange-haired alpha. It was to say ‘thank you’ for his gifts. The omega placed down his pencil and reached to his side. On the bed against his thigh was the wore piano key, gingerly he picked up the wood and rolled it around his fingers.
A small smile pulled at his lips as he looked at the splintered wood and chipped yellowish-white paint. Hoseok’s words play again in his head and it sends a chill through the small male's body.
“Yoongi, I know you think you are broken, you think you are damaged goods that no one wants and should be thrown away because of it. I disagree. I can see your worth and I’m not saying you need fixing because I like you just the way you are. I do think that you are just as nice and worth as much as any other omega though. No matter your history. Just like the piano, I may never know what happened to you or it.”
Yoongi placed the key back down at his side and picks the pencil back up, a new flame of passion and inspiration driving him.
He wasn’t sure how much time had passed but it must have been a few hours because a strong smell of excited alpha filled the home. Vanilla traveled through the air as if it was on a hunt to find where Yoongi had hidden away.
The omega quickly placed his notes on the side table upside down so no one could see what was on the pages. He slid off the bed slowly and pushed his feet into his white slippers that waited at his bedside.
Just as Yoongi reached the door it was pulled open and an excited alpha greeted him, a huge smile on his face. Yoongi couldn’t help but smile softly back and with a small nod, the omega gave permission for the hug he knew the other wanted to give him.
Soon strong arms wrapped around him and pulled him close to the taller male, their body sliding into place against one another. A sigh of relief escaped Yoongi and he hadn’t even known he had been holding it.
A cold nose pressed deeply into the crook of his neck and his first response was to shy away from the cold but then warm lips took their place. A small kiss was pressed against his skin, almost like an apology and Yoongi couldn’t help but melt further into the embrace.
“I missed you,” Hoseok spoke into his neck once his lips moved away from the omega’s pale skin. The confession made the other chuckle as he slid his arms around the alpha and held on tightly.
“You weren’t even gone more than 14 hours Hoseok. How can you possibly miss me this much?” a questioning voice asked as Yoongi too placed his face into the crook of the alpha’s neck.
“I’ve lived most of my life without you, I don’t want to miss another minute. So when we are apart I will miss you desperately.” Hoseok spoke honestly and even with his face muffled by Yoongi’s own neck he could hear the weariness in his voice.
Hoseok was pouring out his feelings for the omega and he was scared he was being too much, too fast. Yoongi could hear it in his voice, how it wavered on the word ‘desperately’.
To be honest, Yoongi was terrified but days ago he told himself he was done hiding. Hiding from his feelings, his fears, and his worries. He was going to live his life and was going to see where this road took him.
“I have something for you.” the words had left Yoongi’s mouth before he could think to stop them. This caught the other’s attention and he pulled his head away from his neck so he could stare at the omega.
Before the alpha could say anything Yoongi was pulling away and moved back into his room. He opened his side table and grabbed a black velvet box from the drawer. He made his way back to Hoseok who had taken a step into his room.
“This is my courting gift to you.” the omega said a bit shyly and Hoseok took the box as he gaped like a fish. It took him a second to collect himself before he looked from the box back to Yoongi.
“But you don’t need to get me a courting gift.” Hoseok finally got out of his throat and all Yoongi could do was blush a bit harder.
“I know that but this isn’t a one-way relationship. I want it too so I should put in just as much effort.” Yoongi replied as he looked down at his feet. Hoseok didn’t say anything else as he looked back to the box and opened the lid slowly.
“I hope you like it. I wasn’t sure what to get you.” the omega said softly as he moved one hand to mess with the bottom of his shirt. Silence ensued and it scared the omega so he looked up from the floor at the alpha.
The orange-haired male was moving a shaky to the necklace and pulling it from the box. Yoongi looked further up and saw that the alpha was teary-eyed as he looked at the jewelry.
“Do you not like it!? I can get you something different!” Yoongi quickly said as he rushed forward about to grab it from the other to hide it.
“I-I love it. Thank you.” Hoseok spoke softly as he looked around to place the box somewhere so he could put the necklace on.
Yoongi quickly grabbed the necklace and unclasped the chain as he wrapped it around the alpha’s neck still facing him.
“I thought that this was fitting, you know. We both love music, Your birthstone is amethyst, and…” Yoongi stopped as he finished clasping the chain and rearranged it so it sat perfectly in the center of his chest.
“And the ‘Y’ stands for me. I want to be with you even when I physically can’t.” he mumbled the last part a bit. Yoongi confessing the same feel that Hoseok was talking about earlier.
The alpha pulled him into a deep kiss, one that held passion and feelings that Yoongi wasn’t sure he fully understood yet. Lips locked and moved around one another before they both pulled away for air.
“The music note doesn’t only stand for both of our love for music. It also means you are my muse, the reason for me to play the piano and the reason I’m going to make music.” he continued and Hoseok’s eyes still held it’s teary expression.
Though the closer Yoongi looked at it the more he realized what that expression actually was. It was passion, admiration, and love. It was what Yoongi had been missing from his past besides Jimin and now he had it all. He could finally be happy and it was all because of the person before him.
Jung Hoseok, The sun to my moon.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Two say the three of them had been a bit tense when in each other’s presence was an understatement. It was like someone or something had sucked all of the air out of the room and the three of them were trying to pretend they could all breathe just fine. It got to the point where dinners were silent and if they didn’t have to be together then they wouldn’t be. In short, it was like all parties involved were avoiding each other.
It was time he sucked it up and stopped tiptoeing around when everyone’s feelings could get hurt. So, when the clock hit twelve Taehyung got up once he found the courage and hunted the other two down. Everyone else should be sleeping at this point so he wasn’t too worried about the other’s walking in on their conversation.
Taehyung snuck out from his room and then went right over to Jungkook’s. He slid in past the door and slowly walked over to the youngers bed. Once he got over there he could see Jungkook perfectly because he was bathed in moonlight.
The omega reached out and slowly shook the alpha and he stirred rather quickly.
“W-what’s going on?” He looked around before finally meeting Taehyung’s gaze.
“Taehyung? What’s the matter? Is everything okay?” his ton soon sobered up as he looked around for anything to be off.
The blonde smiled softly and shook his head at the younger. He pulled back the blankets and Jungkook understood as he got out of bed. Taehyung motioned for him to follow and so he did.
The two then quietly walked out of his room and made their way over to Yoongi’s. The pushed the door open softly and it let out a small creek. The two stopped for a second and looked to see if anyone stirred in the room, when no one did they moved in.
They rounded the bed and saw a small tuft of pink peeking out over the blankets. He was sleeping in the same bed as Yoongi so they knew they had to be careful when waking him.
Again Taehyung slowly shook his shoulder and Jimin’s eyes flew open. A spike of panic filled the air and at the same time, both Jungkook and Taehyung released a calming scent. Familiar pheromones filled the air and Jimin relaxed a bit as he turned towards them.
“What are you guys doing in here?” he asked in a hushed tone. Then Jimin turned to see Yoongi, he was still asleep.
“I think it’s way past due but I think we should all talk,” Taehyung said softly in return and Jungkook nodded his head from behind the blonde.
Jimin let out a small sigh before slowly slipping out of bed, his feet shuffled a bit as he searched for his slippers on the hardwood floor. His warm feet glided across the cool surface before his toe brushed up against a fluffy material. He lifted his foot to slide his foot into the slipper but lost his balance from his still half asleep body. He was about to fall back into bed when two hands darted out and grabbed his arm. Now only held up by his two pack mates they all look at one another.
Jimin broke the trance when he quickly righted himself and carefully slipped on his shoes, all hint of sleep now washed from his head. A warm feeling filled the smaller’s chest as he ran a hand through his messy pink locks.
He let the two show him the way as they quietly snuck out of Yoongi’s room. A pair of gray eyes watch the three retreat.
“So what did you want to talk about?” Jimin found himself asking as they all took seats in the living room.
The pink-haired omega was scared to look up at their faces, he didn’t want to know what they had to say. So he instead looked down at his yellow fluffy chick slippers, the small smiling bird looked back up at him.
“Jimin, please look at us,” Jungkook said softly to his right. The smaller omega found himself looking up into deep brown eyes. His face looked soft and caring, not mean and angry like he would have thought. Jimin has been preparing himself for the sweet words of rejection, not only from Jungkook but Taehyung as well.
So before his nerves got the best of him he looked over at Taehyung, he too looked soft and caringly at the pink-haired omega. It was a bit confusing to see, after all, he thought they would be rejecting him ever since he saw them come home together.
“I know we have all been tiptoeing around each other for the past week but I think it’s time we talked like adults.” Taehyung looked rather nervous to the small omega and he couldn’t help but feel a bit hopeful about it. After clearing his throat the blonde continued where he left off.
“Since we are all adults I think it’s time to talk about our feelings before one, or all of us get hurt,” Taehyung spoke softly as he fidgeted with his hands while he spoke.
“That day Jungkook and I came home together, the day you asked hyung where we were. Jungkook and I had been talking, talking about our feelings and what we meant to one another,” he said quietly as if we would wake the whole house.
It was like an arrow to the heart and not in a good way. The feeling of rejection now pooled in his stomach as he shifted slightly away from them too. As if he could hide himself away from the pain he was fearing to come.
“Jungkook and I have known each other for years and have had feelings for one another for only God knows how long. Though we like each other we also found something else in common and that was how much we liked you. Not the ‘Oh I like you as a friend.’ but as ‘Oh I would be lucky to have him as a mate.’ kind of way. Not only do we feel that way about each other but with you as well. When I first started falling for Jungkook I had this deep feeling of longing and passion towards him. That feeling has grown of the years but we have that same feeling towards you. We both agreed that we don’t want to mess this up or regret not getting to the bottom of these feelings later.” Taehyung broke off and Jungkook picked up.
“So we want to explore these feelings with you. If you will let us that is.” Jungkook finished as they both looked at Jimin.
The pink haired omega was baffled by everything that they were saying. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know the two were deeply in love with one another, so why mess that up with him? He didn’t understand why they would chance their deep love on someone they both had a crush on. It was confusing but nonetheless, it filled Jimin’s heart with hope and affection for the two.
Even though he was flattered and feeling the same way towards them he was scared. He has been in relationships before where there were more than one omega. It wasn’t good and there were always favorites. Nothing was equal even though everyone involved says it is. He didn’t want to know that pain again, he was scared.
It seemed he was showing his emotions through his scent because the other two quickly spoke up.
“Like I said only if you want to! There is no pressure.” Jungkook spoke softly as he tried not to panic himself.
“Yea, after all, it would be a lot of work. We would all have to put in the effort to make sure everyone is included.” Taehyung added as he looked from Jungkook to Jimin.
The other omega’s words struck him and he couldn’t help but smile. A small laugh escaped him and he couldn’t help but think himself dumb. Of course, they would be gentlemen about it, this wasn’t like any other pack he has seen before. Everyone here says what they mean and mean what they say. Though even with knowing that Jimin couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
“Let me think about it. I do have feelings for the both of you but I don’t want to be burned again. I just want to make sure I am ready to take that leap of faith. If I agree I want to be 100% sure before doing so.” the pink haired omega said as he looked back down to his slippers.
On the other hand, the other two were a bit excited, it wasn’t a yes but it wasn’t a no either. Taehyung reached out and grabbed Jungkook’s hand so he could squeeze it.
“That’s no problem, take your time.” The smiling Taehyung said as he watched Jimin stare at his feet.
“We will wait for you,” Jungkook added as he relaxed a bit into the couch.
The two watched as a small smile spread onto the smaller omega’s lips at their comments.
“You should head back to bed. We’re sorry for waking you so late.” Jungkook said softly as he stood up and reached out a hand.
Jimin looked up at the hand thoughtfully before taking it and nodding with a small blush. Taehyung and Jungkook lead Jimin back to his room and watched as he slid back in Yoongi’s door. After Jimin was in his room the other two parted ways and went back to their own beds.
Jimin slid his feet across the hardwood in an attempt not to wake the other omega. As he made his way to the other side of the bed he sat down and felt the mattress dip with the newly added weight.
“So how did it go?” a deep voice filled with sleep asked. Jimin couldn’t help but go stiff as a board. It was like he had gotten caught sneaking back home past his curfew by his parent.
“I-It went fine,” he answered as he looked back over his shoulder at gray eyes reflected by the moon.
A small chuckle left the older of the two as he patted the bed next to him and smiled.
“Come back to bed,” Yoongi said softly. The smell of calming mint filled the air around him and Jimin smiled as he laid back in bed.
“I’m glad those two idiots finally talked to you, though they could have picked a better time.” the older chuckled again as he reached forward and pulled the smaller omega against him. Jimin snuggled in close to his hyung and the elder threw the heavy blanket over them.
Yoongi then placed a small kiss to his forehead and Jimin smiled as he remembered when they were kids. Yoongi use to kiss his head when he was thinking too hard about something or if he was feeling unsure or upset.
“Don’t think about it tonight, just sleep. You have all of tomorrow and so on.” the elder spoke as he ran a hand through Jimin’s pink locks.
Jimin smiled at the embrace and comfort before nodding in response and closing his eyes. The only sound that filled the small room was of Yoongi humming ‘Autumn From The Four Seasons’ by Vivaldi.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
It has been a week since Yoongi had given the necklace to Hoseok and everything between them has been perfect. Through the week they have been spending more and more time with one another. Yoongi would go with Hoseok to work and play on the piano while the other was teaching dance. After sometimes they would get coffee or swing by the book store to grab some books to take home.
Yoongi didn’t even know he could be this happy but here comes Hoseok making the omega feel loved and protected. It was a feeling that Yoongi no longer wanted to live without.
The two had just come home from the bookstore and were now wrapped up in a blanket sitting on the couch. Hoseok had his arm around Yoongi and in the other held the book they were both reading quietly. Two cups of coffee sat on the table with steam swirling from the hot liquid.
If Yoongi could stop time and stay in one moment forever it would be this one. The sun peered in through the window and it reflected off of the ring on his finger. Yoongi turned and looked at Hoseok who was too into the book to notice the omega was looking at him. Around his neck, the necklace also shown in the sunlight and he couldn’t help but smile at it.
He wasn’t sure how long he had stared at the necklace but it must have been some time because Hoseok was calling for him.
“Hyung? Is everything okay?” he asked softly as he smiled down at the omega in his arms. A small smirk played on his face as he watched the omega. It was now that he realized that he had been giving off the ‘I’m a happy omega’ scent. A deep blush covered his face as he looked down and away.
“Everything is fine,” he mumbled out as he looked at the floor beside the coffee table. Then he felt warm fingers brush under his chin and wrap around his bottom jaw softly. The hand guided his head up to meet Hoseok gaze. The sight that greeted him was something surreal and beautiful.
The sun cast a halo effect all around the alpha as he peered down at Yoongi. The golden rays complimenting his honey-colored skin and bright orange hair. He was so warm, not only in his looks but personality too. Everything about him was like the sun and he couldn’t help but think how fitting his nickname for Hoseok was. The Sun.
“Go on a date with me tomorrow?” The perfect lips in front of him asked. Yoongi’s eyes tracked every curl and pull of those lips as if he was in a trance.
Yoongi blinked a few times until he processed what the orange-haired alpha had said.
“Why did you ask me?” The omega said with a blush still covering his face.
“Because I love seeing your blushing face.” His lips curled into a sweet full of teeth smile. The room filled with a happy vanilla smell and Yoongi couldn’t find it in himself to be mad.
“Where are we going?” He asked as he tried to calm his blushing face.
“It’s a surprise,” Hoseok told him before leaning forward and placing a small kiss to his cheek.
Yoongi couldn’t help but pout a bit but loved the attention nonetheless. He snuggled a bit closer to the alpha and breathed deeply at the scent of vanilla.
“Let’s just finish this chapter and then dinner should be ready,” Yoongi spoke into Hoseok’s shirt and the omega felt the chuckle that rumbled through the alpha’s chest.
“Should I read it to you then?” Hoseok asked since the omegas face was still buried into his chest.
A small nod followed and with a smile still on his lips he began reading just loud enough for them to hear. The only other noise was Jin in the kitchen.
A knock on his door sounded through the room and Yoongi couldn’t help but groan in disapproval. The body next to him stirred too and that made Yoongi wake up.
Beside him was a still sleeping Jimin and Yoongi didn’t want to wake him up. He needed as much sleep as possible. The elder knew that he was exhausted from the talk he had with Taehyung and Jungkook last night. The longer he got to sleep the longer Jimin wouldn’t be stressed, he would have to deal with everything once he woke up.
So Yoongi slowly moved off the bed and made his way to the door. The omega was shirtless and only in a pair of black shorts as he moved across the hardwood.
He turned the knob and opened the door to see a ball of sunshine. Yoongi had to look away from how bright his smile was because his eyes couldn’t adjust to it yet.
“Ready for our date?” The orange-haired alpha spoke. When Yoongi looked back towards him he watched as Hoseok realized what the other was wearing. Chocolate brown eyes swept over his body and the smile lessened a bit. Though not from displeasure because he saw Hoseok’s eyes change to one of longing.
Yoongi stepped back and behind the door a bit to cover himself. He was a bit ashamed and self-conscious about his body. Hoseok snapped out of it once he moved away and blushed deeply.
“O-oh I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean-“ he stuttered out and Yoongi smiled a bit at Hoseok’s reaction.
“I’ll get ready now.” He said softly before closing the door and turning to look around his room.
His eyes then caught Jimin sitting up in bed and sighed.
“I was trying not to wake you.” The elder said as he looked at the still sleeping looking pink omega. His hair was all out of place and sticking straight up in some places.
“More important you need help dressing for a date.” The younger omega smiled as he looked towards the now closed door.
Yoongi blushes a bit before nodding back at the other omega. I couldn’t hurt to have someone help him pick out an outfit.
“So where are you two going?” Jimin asked as he threw the covers off of himself and got out of bed.
“Well I don’t know, he wouldn’t tell me,” Yoongi answered as he stepped towards his closet. How was he supposed to dress appropriately for something when he didn’t know where they were going?
“Well, in that case, Hyung it means it isn’t somewhere fancy. If he was taking you somewhere you needed to dress up for he would tell you at least that. So I am thinking causal but pretty.” Jimin smiled as he made his way over to the same closet.
“P-pretty?” the elder omega asked as he looked confused into his mess of black and white clothes.
“I don’t have anything pretty to wear,” Yoongi added as he grabbed a few shirts on hangers and slid them so he could view the fronts.
“Hmmmmm then let’s go to Taehyung’s closet. No doubt the bagginess of the clothes will add to the cute.” the younger omega laughed as he trotted barefoot across the room.
“But why not anything I have?” Yoongi asked and that seemed to slow the other down. Jimin turned back to his hyung and smiled.
“Hoseok hyung has already seen your usual side, time to show him your soft and cute side.” Jimin smiled as he retreated pass the door.
A knock on the door sounded in yet another room as Jimin softly knocked. He was a bit nervous to see Taehyung so soon after their talk last night but Yoongi needed him. This was finally something that Jimin could do to help pay back the kindness his elder showed him.
The door came open and luckily it was Taehyung and not Hoseok. The blonde looked a bit tired but when he saw the pink-haired omega he seemed to sober up.
“Jimin!” it seemed even Taehyung was shocked to see him this soon after their talk last night.
“Can I borrow some of your clothes?” the smaller omega asked and he couldn’t have missed the deep blush that spread over the other’s face.
“One without a scent, preferably something you just washed.” That seemed to deflate the other rather quickly and Jimin couldn’t help but feel bad for getting his hopes up.
“Oh sure, can I ask why?” the blonde asked still looking a bit rejected. Jimin pushed past the door a bit to peer into the room and noticed that Hoseok was nowhere to be seen. Deeming it safe he answered the other’s question.
“Yoongi hyung and Hoseok hyung are going on a date. I want to dress him up all pretty but he only has black, gray, and white colored clothes. It’s best if he only smells like himself too so that’s why no scents.” Jimin explained quickly.
Taehyung smiled at the news and stepped away so that Jimin could come in. The pink-haired omega walked into the room and Taehyung pointed to a basket in the corner as clean.
Jimin walked over and pulled articles of clothes out from the basket and with full arms turned back around to see Taehyung. A boxy smile broke out over his face as he saw all the clothes stuffed in the smaller’s arms.
“Why don’t you just take the bask-” he was cut off when Jimin made a dash to Yoongi’s room. A small laugh could be heard from the room he retreated from.
Before Jimin had turned back to face Taehyung he had seen a black hoodie on the floor near the basket. Remembering Taehyung’s face from moments before he snatched it up before turning to face the blonde.
It had obviously been worn recently and was still inside out, he didn’t even know what was printed on the front.
Jimin made it back into Yoongi’s room quickly before kicking the door closed behind him. Yoongi watched him as he moved towards the bed and threw the clothes on top of the blankets.
“I thought you said no black?” Yoongi asked when he spotted the black hoodie still in his arms.
“This isn’t for you.” Jimin found himself saying softly. Before Yoongi could say anything else Jimin grabbed the sleeves of the hoodie and tied them around his waist.
After that was in place he walked over and started pairing a few outfits together. It took about ten minutes of the elder trying on outfits before Jimin finally picked which one he should wear.
He was wearing a white turtleneck that hung a little loosely on his neck, then a pink sweater was pulled over it. The sweater was soft pink but had a zig-zag pattern in a darker pink running from the top to the bottom. The sweater was so long it gave him sweater paws and it hung a little lower on him than most of his shirt. Then Jimin paired that with a light pair of blue jeans from himself since all of Yoongi’s were either ripped or black. Jimin then he topped it all off with adding a long necklace that was a plain silver chain with a white crystal attached to it and a few small rings.
“You look great hyung!” the happy pink-haired omega said as he looked at the elder.
“You don’t think I look weird?” he quickly asked as he looked at himself in the mirror. To be honest, he thought he looked nice too. He hoped that Hoseok would like it just as much as Jimin seemed too.
“I think you look amazing! He will love it! My soft hyung.” he said as he smiled at the elder omega.
Yoongi smiled into the mirror and turned to look at Jimin. The younger was still in a plain t-shirt and light blue shorts that he had worn to bed. Though now he also had the black hoodie wrapped around his waist. It only took a second of smelling for him to realize that it belonged to Taehyung. It had his scent all over it and Yoongi couldn’t help but hide his knowing smile.
“I should go, Hoseok is probably waiting for me.” the elder said as he grabbed his phone from the side table and softly thanked Jimin before leaving.
Now alone Jimin pulled the inside out hoodie from his waist and ran his fingers along the soft interior. A small smile spread over his pink lips before he took the time to turn it inside right. When he flipped the hoodie to the front he finally got a look of what was on the black material.
The word ‘Thrasher in big purple flamed letters greeted him. It was outlined in another color and on the sleeves, it had matching flames. He moved the hoodie closer and smelled the scent of lavender coming off of the clothing.
Before he knew it he was pulling the hoodie on over his head and walking to his closet so he could throw on a pair of ripped blue jeans before heading down for breakfast. This will be the first test in seeing how the other two act at this. If one gets jealous over the other or try to pressure him then he knows for sure right off the bat this won't work.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi slipped his phone into his back pocket as he pushed open the door to his room. He softly closed it behind him before trouting a bit as he made his way to the front door. There he saw Hoseok looking down at his phone until he heard footsteps approaching him. A smile spreading over his face before he could even become eye to eye with the omega.
Once their eyes locked it was like a shock to the alpha’s system. He hadn’t been expecting anything special, just regular black and gray for the small omega. Though seeing him in such a pretty pastel color was definitely a treat. He looked soft and comfortable in the oversized sweater that hung loosely around his neck.
The alpha in him wanted to pull Yoongi into his arms and hide him away from everyone else so no one could see him like this. It was selfish of him but Hoseok couldn’t help it, the alpha in him preened over his omega.
As much as he was scared to even think of Yoongi’s as his he couldn’t help but love how right it felt. Even if he only said it in his mind or when he was by himself. The orange-haired male didn’t want to pressure the omega but Hoseok was already feeling so at home with him. It was a feeling he wanted to feel for the rest of his life.
“You look beautiful, I didn’t know you could look like this.” Hoseok found himself saying but once it was out of his mouth he couldn’t help but think about how rude it sounded.
“Oh wait, I didn’t mean it like th-” he was cut off but the soft chuckle the omega let out in front of him. It was warm and relaxed, and the sound of it washed all of Hoseok’s worries away.
“I know it isn’t what I usually wear so I am glad I can pull it off. This is something that Jimin would wear.” The white-haired omega said as he reached out a sweater paw towards Hoseok’s hands. Quickly the alpha wrapped his hands around the soft material of the fabric and smiled.
“You definitely pull it off. Are you ready?” Hoseok asked with a wide smile as the smaller male met him with a small fond one of his own.
“Ready. Are you going to tell me where we are going now?” asked the curious omega but he was only answered with a small tug on the hand as the alpha led them out the front door.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
So the place must be close because Hoseok led him down the street, still hand in hand. Yoongi took this time to examine the alpha and what he was wearing.
His orange hair was swept back inside of a white cap that was on backward, he wore a plain white t-shirt under a black and blue plaid button down. None of the buttons were actually buttoned and it left the undershirt completely exposed. As for pants he was wearing blue jeans and a pair of black boots with his pants tucked into them.
He looked like mate material if Yoongi had ever seen any. Everything about the alpha was stunning and it was hard for Yoongi to grasp why someone like him would want to be with the omega. Though he usually didn’t wonder for long because the alpha took up a habit of telling Yoongi how ‘amazing’ he is.
It wasn’t an overwhelming amount of compliments but through the weeks of them being together, he would slip in some words of praise. It was obvious the alpha wanted to say more but was scared of spooking the shyer male.
His mind didn’t get to wonder much longer because soon Hoseok stopped and Yoongi would have kept going if he didn’t get tugged back a bit by their joined hands.
“This is it! I hope this is okay? I was looking online for some ideas and saw something like this. It wasn’t too cliche and I thought we could have fun.” the alpha said softly from beside him.
Yoongi looked away from Hoseok and up at the building they had stopped in front of, it was a dog rescue center. Yoongi blinked a few times because it wasn’t what he was expecting, but he wasn’t disappointed. Growing up before the accident he adored his friend's dogs and always wanted one for himself.
“I called the rescue center and they said that the dogs and puppies don’t get much play time so every couple of weeks they have a volunteer day. People come in and play with the dogs, help bathe them, and care for them.” Hoseok continued before looking over to see what the omega could possibly be feeling.
“I love it! Let’s go in!” he smiled back at the alpha as he tugged their joined hands while he rushed to the front door. The sound of laughter followed behind him as he pushed open the front door and went to the front desk.
The women behind the desk smiled and greeted them before asking how she could help us.
“We are here to volunteer with walking the dogs and playing with them for a while.” The alpha said from behind Yoongi and all the omega could do was smile as he tried to wait patiently.
“Of course. If you could follow me back.” the woman said still with the same warm smile on her face. The two followed behind her and she walked them back to the kennel.
“Please pick any of these dogs. One for each of you. They have all been approved for the program and do well with other dogs so you don’t need to worry about that.” she gestured to the cages.
Yoongi guessed there were probably about 20 dogs before them and no doubt more somewhere else in the rescue. The omega walked around and looked at a few dogs, how was he suppose to pick just one?
It went on like this for a couple more minutes before he came to a brown toy poodle named Holly. He was the cutest dog Yoongi thinks he has ever seen.
“This one! I want to play with Holly,” he said confidently as he looked down at the dog who was yipping happily and walking in circles as if to get and keep his attention.
The woman smiled and opened the cage before reaching down and attaching a leash to his collar. Yoongi wasn’t sure when she grabbed the leash but when it was handed to him he could care less.
“I like this one.” Hoseok voice sounded from a couple of kennels down and Yoongi walked towards him with a happy Holly in tow.
Yoongi smiled at the cute little pug sitting at the edge of the cage trying to lick Hoseok's fingers through the small bars.
The women did the same thing with the pug named Magic as she did with Holly. Now with two dogs in hand, the women lead us to another room.
“This is the play area and if you use that door it leads into a closed in dog park.” she smiled as she explained some information and rules. It was hard to listen when the small poodle under him was trying to reach forward and grab a ball a few feet in front of him.
When the lady excused herself and let them play with the dogs Yoongi couldn’t help but smile as he moved forward so that Holly could retrieve the ball.
No doubt by the end of the day Yoongi’s face was going to hurt from all the smiling he was doing.
“She said we could let them off the leash and have full range of the room but we have to make sure to put them back on when we leave,” Hoseok said as he crouched down and unclipped the leash from Magic.
The pug trotted over to a tug rope and started to bite and pull at the braided threads. Hoseok walked over and grabbed the other end, that seemed to please the pug because now the small dog was trying to pull it from his hands playfully.
Yoongi followed suit and reached down to free the chocolate colored angel from the leash. After that, he grabbed the ball from his small mouth and threw it for him.
The poodle watched Yoongi’s every movement after he had taken the ball. A pink tongue flopped out the side of his mouth as he stared at the toy. Once it was thrown the poodle took off after it and the process was repeated.
Yoongi wasn’t sure how long they had been at the rescue but when the woman came back to check on them it must have been a few hours.
Both dogs were tired from running and playing so Hoseok and Yoongi decided that this was all for today. They didn’t want to tire them out too much after all they were both already a panting mess.
They walked the two dogs back to their kennels with the help of the woman and said goodbye. Yoongi found it a little hard to leave but when Hoseok’s hand found his it made it a bit easier.
Gray eyes met brown in a silent question, ‘Can we come back again?’. He was met with a bright smile and a simple nod but it was enough to cheer the omega up and make him excited for next time.
They left the building hand in hand and walked back to the house with a smile as they talked about the dogs and how cute they were.
During their walk home, they stopped at a food stall and ate while enjoying each other’s company. The rest of the way home was uneventful but it was nice as they both wound down from the excitement of the day.
Entering the house they soon realized that they were alone, no one was around and the car was even missing from the driveway.
“I wonder where they all went?” Yoongi asked a little concerned. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone to check for any texts or calls from his pack. There was nothing and as he looked over to Hoseok he saw him doing the same.
“Jungkook texted me. He said they went out. Seems like Jin hyung and Namjoon went out on a date. Jimin, Taehyung, and him went out as well. Seems like they won’t be back until later.” the alpha said as he pocketed his phone. He looked over at Yoongi then and smiled widely.
“Want me to put on a movie?” he asked and all Yoongi did was nod. The two made their way into the living room and Hoseok grabbed the remote as he flipped through the channels.
He must have found some movie because the flipping stopped as Yoongi grabbed the blanket from the back of the couch and pulled it over them. Now snuggled up warm and in each other’s arms, Yoongi couldn’t help but release some of his happy omega scent. Mint filled the room and collected under the blanket. It was the scent that told others that he was happy and healthy but most of all that he felt safe.
A soft rumble sounded from beside him and he didn’t have to look to know it was Hoseok. The alpha was pleased with knowing he was making Yoongi happy. That the omega felt safe when he was wrapped up him his arms, it made his alpha happy.
Vanilla and Mint mixed together and it was an intoxicating smell for Yoongi but looking over at Hoseok he could tell he felt the same way.
Before Yoongi could even make out what movie was playing he swung his leg over Hoseok and straddle him.
The omega leaned forward and took the waiting lips of his alpha. They kissed each other like it was going to be their last and that only drove the omega over the edge.
Biting softly at the alpha’s lips he found the will power to pull away. Small hands reached down and pulled the sweater up and over his head before his hands started working on the buttons. As he got halfway down a big hand engulfed his. Yoongi looked up only to met lust filled brown eyes and the sight set Yoongi’s insides on fire.
“Are you sure?” Hoseok asked as he moved to intertwine their fingers and it rocked Yoongi’s world.
“I am so sure, I don’t think I have been surer of anything in my life. We don’t have to mate but I want you. God, Hoseok I want you so bad. You don’t know what you do to me.” the small omega growled out as he leaned forward and kissed Hoseok with bruising force.
A deep rumble moved through Hoseok chest and it excited Yoongi that he could do that to the alpha. A moment later and Hoseok was pulling his lips away from swollen pink ones.
“If it is even half of what you do to me I think I know,” he smirked back and with that, they pulled their hands apart and they both know worked on unbuttoning the shirt.
Once the last button opened Hoseok leaned forward and started sucking and kissing his pale exposed skin. Large arms wrapped around his body and held him in place as the man before him started to worship Yoongi’s body with his lips, his tongue, his mouth.
Yoongi’s head rolled back as he closed his eyes and moaned to the feeling of Hoseok’s blessed attention.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Hoseok’s large hands moved from his back to his shirt, Yoongi could feel the fabric running down his arms as it was being pulled off. Yoongi didn’t mind as his head hung back with his neck fully exposed.
The alpha took the opportunity to latch himself onto the soft skin at Yoongi’s neck and the omega couldn’t help but moan at the feeling of hot lips pressed against some of his most vulnerable areas. Soon lips were replaced by a tongue as it ran the length of his neck and across his scent gland, Yoongi’s eyes almost rolled into the back of his head.
A soft whimper left the omega’s lips as he willed his head forward to look at the lust-filled alpha in front of him. His scent filled with need that rivaled Yoongi’s and he couldn’t help but move forward to take the alpha’s lips once more.
Hoseok didn’t seem to mind as he happily kissed back and a short fight for dominance happened as their tongues explored each other's mouths. Yoongi was rapidly losing the battle so he bit down on the alpha’s lip and tugged experimentally which earned him a deep and hungry rumble from the alpha.
Hands reached around and gripped Yoongi’s thighs in a hot hold and before he knew it he was being lifted up as Hoseok stood. Before he could get a word out he was being carried back to the alpha’s room and excitement bubbled up in omega’s stomach.
Hoseok kicked open the door, almost breaking it, before making his way over to the bed and softly throwing Yoongi on it. A small chuckle left the omega as he watched the orange-haired alpha turn and shut the door.
When he turned back Yoongi was looking him up and down like he was an oasis in a desert and Yoongi was parched.
“Clothes off.” the omega said in an almost commanding tone and it didn’t seem to bother Hoseok because he was moving to undress even before he got out the last word.
An orange eyebrow rose as he looked at the omega perched on his bed and Yoongi followed suit in undressing. He was already topless but his pants were still perfectly in place. So as the alpha began unzipping his pants Yoongi decided to finish getting undressed.
Moving to lay on his back, he began to unzip his pants and pulled his pants and boxers off at the same time. Once he threw them to the floor he saw a very naked Hoseok looking down at him. The omega couldn’t help but blush as he looked down at his bare self.
The alpha stalked forward and crawled over the omega until he was face to face with the love of his life.
“You are so beautiful, I have never seen someone who was as beautiful on the outside as they were on the inside. I would be a fool not to worship you. So Yoongi, let me take care of you.” the alpha spoke into his ear and the ghost on his breath along his skin warmed his body.
“Take care of me Hoseok.” Yoongi practically moaned out and as soon as the words were out of his mouth Hoseok was capturing his mouth in a breathtaking kiss once more.
As their hot mouths explored one another Hoseok’s hands roamed over his body gently as if mapping out the shape and features. His mouth finally pulled away from Yoongi’s and the omega couldn’t help but find himself chasing after those lips.
Lips were being pressed to his neck and trailed further and further down until he was right above his pelvis. He peppered some more kisses along his hips and thighs until a big hand wrapped around his member. It was already half-hard and he was already dripping with slick as Hoseok almost painfully slow moved his mouth to take the tip between his lips.
Yoongi’s head shot back against the bed as his body arched into Hoseok’s mouth and he felt the man’s other hand move to his stomach to keep him a bit still as he moved to take Yoongi’s whole dick into his mouth.
A sinful moan left his lips as his hands reached out for something to grab on to like a lifeline and his hands found orange locks. So he ran his hands through Hoseok’s hair before grabbing a fist full and pulling softly as Hoseok began to work his dick.
Looking down Yoongi could see Hoseok’s head bobbing up and down at an even pace. It first started out slow and after a few strokes it picked up speed and all the while Yoongi could feel more slick run out off his hole and along the curve of his ass.
Without warning Hoseok deepthroated him and Yoongi’s eyes rolled back inside of his head as he felt Hoseok’s nose press into his pubes and the tip of his dick touch the back of his throat.
“Hoseok, oh God.” he cried out as he pulled at Hoseok’s hair a little harder than before.
He could feel the lips around him spread into a smile and Yoongi would have said something about it but he picked up the speed again making the omega into a moaning mess.
Yoongi was getting close and he couldn’t help but find it hard to form words so he prayed that Hoseok knew he was close.
Moments later hot streams of cum were filling the alpha’s mouth and Hoseok didn’t even seem fazed. He pulled back a little but only to make room in his mouth so Yoongi could fill it.
The omega’s hips jerked with the aftershock of his orgasm but he couldn’t help but wiggle and moan a little with a need still pulling at his body.
“Please Hoseok, I need you,” he whined as he wiggled in place a bit more and he watched as the alpha sat up and swallowed. Yoongi watched his adam's apple bob with the motion and Yoongi couldn’t help with another moan escaping his lips.
“What do you want Yoongi, tell me, baby,” he spoke low and in a gravely tone and if he wasn’t a mess before he was now.
“I want you inside me. I am so ready.” he almost growled out in frustration but he was still turned on so it sounded more between a moan and a whine.
Hoseok leaned forward and wrapped his arms around his hip as he guided the omega to turn onto his tummy. Yoongi caught on quickly and turned over to lay down on his stomach with his head peeking over his shoulder to see what the alpha was planning.
As soon as he turned his head to look he felt hands being pressed against each cheek and them being spread apart by his big hands. He then moved forward and brought his mouth to his dripping hole. Another sinful moan escaped him as he moved his head forward again to press it into the mattress.
He inhaled deeply and all he could smell was a rich and deep smelling vanilla. Everything smelled like his alpha and with the tongue pushing past his ring and into him he almost thought this was all just a dream and he would wake up horny and disappointed.
Soon a finger was being pressed into him and it was a bit uncomfortable but with each thrust, it became more and more welcomed. One finger was replaced with two and before he knew it he was being opened up with three. His fingers moved and loosened him as he fisted the sheets under him in a desperate attempt in holding himself together.
“Hoseok yes, please, the teasing is too much.” he moaned out into the sheets and he could feel a bit of drool running past his lips as he lifted his head from the white fabric.
When all three fingers were removed he almost whined but soon it was being replaced with something far better. The feeling of hot flesh pressing past his hole made him cry out in pleasure and Hoseok leaned forward to press kisses along his spine to help ease the discomfort.
It didn’t hurt but it was still a bit of a stretch from his fingers to his cock but Yoongi was loving every second of it. As Hoseok slowly pushed in to bury himself deep inside Yoongi he almost cried in relief.
Yoongi pressed back against the alpha as if trying to take him in further, all he wanted was to be full of Hoseok. His alpha, the one who cherished and loved him. The one who told him he was worth being loved and as Hoseok moved out only to thrust back in all Yoongi could see was the glittering of his ring with each movement in the light.
His pace quickened and after a few couple thrusts his lover struck something deep within him and he couldn’t help but feel his arms go weak and fall back into the bed. Pleasure exploded through his body was Hoseok rammed in and out of him making sure to hit his g spot with each thrust.
Yoongi’s moans sounded needy and desperate as his body was thrown into overdrive with the feeling of utter euphoria taking over his body. He could feel and hear Hoseok panting into his back as his hips snapped into the omega driving them both mad with ecstasy.
Yoongi was hard once more and Hosoek’s thrust slid in more easily as he produced more and more slick to help guide him in. His body was more than willing to supply the alpha with lubricate in order to fulfill both of their needs.
Hoseok’s thrust became a bit more erratic and Yoongi could feel hickeys being sucked on his neck, shoulder, and back and Hoseok worked on satisfying them both. Yoongi was pretty far gone but as he felt himself getting closer to orgasm again he realized the alpha must be close as well.
With more deep thrusts Yoongi wanted to tell him to pull out and not get him pregnant, though the chance is small out of a heat, but he couldn’t find the words. Each thrust hit his prostate and as he began to cum be felt Hoseok pull out sharply and when he thought he would be entered again he was shocked when he wasn’t instead he heard the alpha moan as he stroked himself and cum shot out onto the omega’s back and ass. The white liquid pooled in the dip of his back and ran down the curve of his cheek.
Pants filled the room and soon the bed dipped beside him as Hoseok moved to lay down next to him. They both panted but Hoseok moved in to capture Yoongi’s lips once again in a deep and passionate kiss.
Yoongi sighed deeply and Hoseok pulled away to take in Yoongi’s afterglow from sex. A sweet smile spread over his face and Yoongi couldn’t help but weakly punch his arm in response.
“Em tired.” Yoongi got out as a small yawn escaped his lips and Hoseok’s eyes softened as he watched the omega begin to drift off into sleep.
After a couple of moments, Hoseok got up and walked to the bathroom so he could grab a wet rag and clean him up.
Once everything was cleaned up and the bedding was changed he moved Yoongi back to his bed and throw the covers over them so they could both fall asleep.
As sleep began to overtake him he could hear the front door opening and footsteps followed.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
A stiff hand reached up and forced its way through knotted brown locks. The wind tangling it as it chilled the air. Jungkook was a bit nervous and anyone could tell with the way he fiddled with the strings on his hoodie after his hands left his hair. The reason for his torn nerves was because of the two on either side of him. Walking with him was Taehyung and Jimin, not only that but Jimin was wearing one of Taehyung’s hoodies. He looked so cute in the two sizes too large hoodie and he couldn’t help but want to smother him in his scent too.
He wasn’t jealous that he was wearing Taehyung’s hoodie but he did worry a bit that that meant he only liked the other omega. Naturally, Jimin would feel more at ease with another omega but Jungkook couldn’t help but worry that he would be left behind. He shoved the feelings down as he dropped his hand and reached out for Taehyung’s.
Without hesitation, the blonde omega took his hand and it relaxed the alpha again. They left the house around the same time as Jin and Namjoon and just like them they were also going on a date. Well, it wasn’t really a date but Jungkook had asked the other two if they wanted to go see a movie. He was excited when they both said yes and was nervous about asking the pink-haired omega but when he opened his bedroom door he saw the hoodie and it gave him courage.
They were going to see a movie that Taehyung had mentioned wanting to see a few days ago. He was tired of doing homework for college and was complaining about how he won’t get to see the movie. The blonde hates going to see movies by himself to the point where he won’t go unless someone comes with him. It makes the alpha laugh a bit but it is just one of the quirks that make Jungkook love Taehyung.
After the three of them talked about their feelings and where they want to head in the future it was like a breath of fresh air. He was still unsure about where Jimin’s boundaries were so the alpha was being more on the careful side. He knows about Jimin’s past and he doesn’t want to bring anything bad back up.
He was yanked out of his thoughts when a sharp tug on his hand sent him forward a bit. He almost hit the counter as he focused on the woman in front of him asking for his tickets.
“I ordered them online,” he said a bit numbly but he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Opening his emails he pulled up the confirmation email with the barcode and she scanned it.
“Oh before we go in did anyone wan-” before he could finish what he was saying Taehyung was pulling him towards the theater as the two omega’s laughed at him.
“What? What’s so funny?” Jungkook asked a bit confused and Jungkook only stiffened a little which Jimin’s small hand reached up and grabbed his shoulder as he leaned over and chuckled some more.
“Taehyung and I said we were good as we came in the doors. We are good unless you want some?” Jimin smiled as he then looked up and the poor defenseless alpha.
“N-no, I’m fine..” Jungkook replied back as he tried not to get sucked into the pink-haired omega’s eyes.
“Let’s go in then.” a smiling Taehyung said as he pulled Jungkook forward and held the door open for Jungkook and Jimin as they went to their seats.
The movie went by quickly and even faster when the alpha was too busy watching the two omega’s laugh at the movie. It was some comedy but Jungkook lost interest the first Taehyung laughed. They both seemed to really enjoy the movie as they walked out of the theater talking about what had happened.
“So, where to?” Jungkook asked as he kicked a rock on the sidewalk.
“Well right now Yoongi hyung and Hobi hyung are home alone. I think we should give them some time to themselves.” Taehyung smiled as he spoke about the two and it was then that he noticed Taehyung was holding Jimin’s hand now.
They needed some time to themselves and maybe they would move forward in their relationship, no one was trying to push them but it was very obvious that they had some sexual tension going on at times. It seemed like in the last few weeks it had gotten worse too.
“We can always head somewhere to eat after all Jin hyung probably won't be making anything tonight,” Taehyung said as they continued down the paved path. The tall omega kicked at a few stones or leaves as they walked along.
Jungkook smiled as he thought about how well tonight was going and how he didn’t really want it to stop now so he found himself nodding in agreement.
“Yeah, that sounds like it’s for the best,” he added as he looked to Jimin to see what his feelings on it were about.
He looked nervous for a second as he looked between the blonde and him.
“C-could we go to the Thai place a few blocks from here?” Jungkook bumped him lightly in a friendly and encouraging way as he looked to Tae.
“That’s good with me.” he looked at Tae in question and the blonde just smiled and nodded.
The three had a great time at the Thai restaurant and decided it was getting pretty late so it was best to head home.
Taehyung unlocked the front door and they pushed their way into the house as they smiled and continued their conversation. The house was dark and quiet so they three figured they had gone to bed.
But Jungkook couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched on their way home and it even continued as they entered the house. He would have to tell Namjoon hyung about this later.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi has never been happier than he is right now in his whole life, then again he hasn’t really had the best life either. He slowly came to with Hoseok stroking his white hair, when the alpha noticed his eyes opening he paused for a second before smiling and running his hand through it one last time before leaning forward and taking the omega’s lips into his. The kiss was soft and sweet and it only made the omega happier to be woken up in such a manner.
“How did you sleep hyung?” he asked softly as he peppered kisses along his neck and face. A small laugh bubbled up in the omega and he could feel his insides become mushy at the display the alpha was putting on.
“I slept great, I could get used to waking up like this…..with you,” he spoke the last half softly and seriously like it was a question. A question of what on the other hand he wasn’t even sure himself. A question of if they will mate or are they only meant to go this far and fall apart or maybe just a question to see how the alpha felt. Either way it was a loaded question even if it didn’t end in a question mark.
Hoseok paused again and looked deep into Yoongi’s gray eyes before breaking out into one of his famous blinding smiles. “ I could get very very used to this too Hyung,” he said back brightly and surged forward for another kiss. Yoongi found himself meeting him half way and happy with his answer.
Soon the alpha pulled away and threw the blankets back so he could get out of bed. He was in a pair of boxers and Yoongi took full advantage of his position by eating up the sight of his back. His eyes growing hungry with the thought and something must have changed in his scent because Hoseok whipped around and stalked over to him with equally hungry eyes.
Lips were on his and hands slid around his side up and his back in a close embrace until the alpha turned to his neck and sucked on the spot where a mating bite would go. A low moan escaped his mouth and he arched up into his alpha’s body.
Wait, his alpha? Yoongi’s eyes snapped open and he watched as Hoseok pulled away and smiled down at him.
“We should go down and eat breakfast Jin hyung or else Jin Hyung will hunt us down and I don’t want to put either of us in compromising positions.” he laughed and Yoongi just looked at him in shock a bit. The alpha seemingly not noticing Yoongi’s realization and frozen position.
Hoseok said something about taking a shower and as he reached for the door to leave Yoongi felt himself launch forward and grip the alpha by his wrist, effectively stopping him in place. Hoseok turned around shocked and looked down at the smaller male.
“You’re mine.” Yoongi clarified he’s never been this happy and he wasn’t about to let this feeling slip past his fingers. He threw away all his fears and gripped the alpha tightly as he spoke once more.
“You’re mine and I won’t share with anyone,” he added as he looked deep into Hoseok’s brown eyes.
A deep laugh escaped the alpha and Yoongi was a bit confused before the alpha reached down and took the back of Yoongi’s neck in his hands. He tilted his head up and bent down to plant a fierce and possessive kiss upon his lips.
“I don’t expect you to and the same goes for me. Make no mistake Yoongi I want you as my mate. When you’re ready I will be waiting patiently to mark you as mine.” his voice was deep with want and a possessive tone that Yoongi wasn’t sure he had ever heard from the alpha. Instead of it scaring him like he thought it would it only put a fire deep in his belly and slick threatened to leak down his thighs.
“How about we take a shower together, save water, and I can show you just how much I want you, again.” he hummed and Yoongi could feel his legs going weak at the very thought. A strong arm wrapped around him and helped steady him as he waited patiently for Yoongi’s answer.
All he got was a short nod but in seconds the omega was being lifted from his feet and the door was being pushed open. He carried him to the bathroom and they helped each other undress as they stepped into the shower and under the stream of warm water. Yoongi didn’t even notice when the alpha had turned it on.
Rough but sure fingers slid down the curve of his butt and between his cheeks as they searched for his hole. Slick was already mixing with the water that ran down his thighs and pulled at the drain before being washed away.
“You might want to be quiet or the whole house will hear us,” he whispered into Yoongi’s ear as Yoongi opened his mouth to give a smart response a large finger was thrust into his soaking hole and pumping into him.
A moan threatened to escape but he held it down and began to pant heavily in the alpha’s arms. The action didn’t hurt and the omega was more than ready to take Hoseok’s knot since he hadn’t the night before.
A second finger entered him and he bit his lip as a moan slipped out of his mouth, it was soft but still, Yoongi growled at the sound. It was almost a game to see if he could be quiet and he hated to lose.
A mouth was once again on his neck and sucking deep purple hickies to match the ones he had left all over his body last night. Yoongi reached up and encircled the alpha’s back and dug his nails into his flesh to show him just how bad he wanted it. If he couldn’t tell him with his mouth then he would tell him with his body.
Yoongi pushed the alpha’s hand away, Hoseok’s fingers sliding out of Yoongi’s hole with ease and the omega almost cried at the loss of them. But before he could look at the confused face of his alpha he quickly turned around and presented himself the best he could in the shower. He leaned his chest into the shower wall and arched his back before reaching back and spreading his cheeks apart.
“Alpha, knot me,” he growled out softly as to not be too loud. He watched Hoseok’s eyes dilate and he reached for Yoongi’s back. His hand sliding up his spine before grabbing Yoongi’s shoulder and grabbing his cock. He lined himself up with Yoongi’s hole and pressed the tip just a bit into the ring of muscles.
Again the omega had to hold back a moan as he watched his alpha. He was about to ask what he was waiting for when Hoseok spoke up.
“Are you sure? I could prepare you more,” he asked though Yoongi could tell all the alpha really wanted to do was wreck the omega’s body until he couldn’t more. It was Hoseok’s control and feelings for Yoongi that made him pause and make sure everything was okay before trying to satisfy himself. Though to be honest it would satisfy both of them and the omega in him whined at the hesitation even if Yoongi himself appreciated it.
“I’m very sure, knot me Hoseok,” he begged softly as he pressed himself back into the tip of Hoseok’s member and he heard an almost pained groan leave him. Before he had to speak up again to tell the alpha to continue Hoseok’s other hand grabbed his shoulder and he was forced back as the alpha thrust forward. The result being Yoongi be penetrated as far as he thought was humanly possible.
One of Yoongi’s hands had to come up to cover his mouth to muffle the moan leaking from his lips. Water showered them both as he was slammed into over and over again. Yoongi was trying his best not to let anything slip but it became harder and harder as the alpha slammed into his sweet spot and licked and bit along his back and shoulder. The alpha was sure to leave his scent gland free but he teased around the area.
Yoongi wouldn’t even be mad if Hoseok mated him right now but he knew the alpha would wait for his go-ahead before doing such a thing. Yoongi was so in love with this man and he was ready to make it official but it could wait after breakfast.
He felt Hoseok’s knot as he snagged it a bit when he came back down on his alpha’s cock. Yoongi was pretty sure he felt his eyes roll in the back of his head at the feeling and his legs trembled in anticipation.
“Knot me Hoseok, please.” he cried softly and Yoongi was scared for a second that his words would be drowned out but the sound of the shower. Though it seemed the alpha heard him because his next thrust forced the alpha’s knot into his hole and he felt as Hoseok released deep into him.
Yoongi came at the feeling of the knot locking them in place and being filled by his alpha. His nails dug into the shower walls as he fought back a loud moan. Instead, the shower was filled with a lot of heavy breathing and the quivering tired legs of Yoongi.
Upon noticing it Hoseok’s arms wrapped around the omega and he took on all of Yoongi’s weight. The omega deemed it safe to let go and he let himself go slack in Hoseok’s arms.
“Do you think they heard us?” Yoongi asked between pants of breath. He heard a deep rumble of a laugh behind him and he turned to look at the warm face of his soon to be mate.
“If they didn’t hear us than when we open this door they will smell it,” he smirked down at the omega and he couldn’t find it in himself to be embarrassed. He wasn’t ashamed of what they did or that he did it with Hoseok. So instead he chuckled in return and leaned back into his alpha’s arms.
The smell of vanilla and mint swirled around the room as the shower washed down their bodies. After ten minutes the feeling of Hoseok’s knot was going down and the two decided it was about time they started to clean themselves. By some grace of God, the water didn’t turn cold and the two showered quickly, not wanting to hold up breakfast too much.
They got dressed in the clothes Hoseok had brought in with them and as the alpha opened the door they were met with a smirking Park Jimin.
“Mmm I hope you didn’t use all the hot water. You guys sure did take your time.” a knowing smirk playing on the pink-haired man’s lips. A color close to Jimin’s hair dusted over the omega’s cheeks before he looked away and pouted.
“Just take your shower,” he grumbled out and he heard Hoseok and Jimin laugh as he pushed past them and into the kitchen.
The white-haired omega also taking notice of how Jimin smelled of both Taehyung and Jungkook. The three must-have shared the same bed since Taehyung didn’t come back to his and Hoseok’s room.
A small smile spread over his face as he thought about how happy they could be once they earn the smallest omega’s trust. He was happy for them.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi got to the kitchen first and was greeted by Jin placing breakfast on the table. Namjoon was sitting down drinking coffee and looked up to nod a good morning to the omega. Yoongi couldn’t help but let a smile spread over his features, he was finally happy and Jimin was safe. It was like he was in some type of dream and he didn’t want to wake up from it. So playing his part he went to Jin and started to grab plates for everyone and helped the beta set the table.
He placed the last dish down and turned when he heard a group of footsteps. The rest of the pack was making their way into the kitchen in varying degrees of tiredness. Jungkook looked like he was ready to crawl into bed then it went Taehyung, Jimin, and lastly Hoseok just as awake as he was. His eyes connected with his alphas and he smiled warmly as a fuzzy feeling filled his chest.
This was the life.
Everyone sat down and the room was filled with chatter as everyone dug into breakfast clearly hungry. The younger members went on about college and how the semester would be ending soon and how happy they were about it. It was nice to hear about everyone and how they were over breakfast. The room was filled with happy scents from all the members and Yoongi couldn’t help but let his soft and happy mint mingle with everyone else's.
Hoseok was the first to get up and drop his plates off in the sink before moving back to the table and leaning down to place a small kiss to Yoongi’s white locks. He smiled down at the omega and ran his big hand through them as well.
“I gotta get going, I’m opening the studio today,” he said quickly before turning and heading to the door. A chorus of goodbyes and have a good day rang out through the house as the alpha put on his shoes and exited.
Taehyung and Jungkook were close behind him and left for their college classes which Namjoon took them too. Jimin went back to their room saying he needed to do laundry today and that only left Jin hyung and Yoongi in the kitchen. Jin had already moved to the sink to start on the dishes when Yoongi got up to help.
“Actually could you go grab the mail quick? I haven’t had the time to get it this morning like I usually do.” Jin said over his shoulder as he scrubbed a dish harder.
“Sure hyung.” he got out as he headed towards the door and slid on his shoes. He left the house and made his way down the sidewalk to the mailbox. Opening the door he saw a few letters and bills but one envelope caught his eye in particular.
It was a pale blue color with nothing written on the front or back, it was taped shut in the back. It must not have come in the mail since it didn’t have a stamp either. Curiously Yoongi opened the envelope and pulled out a folded white sheet of paper. The first thing he noticed was the neat girly handwriting. Further intrigued he quickly unfolded it the rest of the way and began to read it.
Dear Hoseok,
I am writing to you because I have waited long enough. You will come back, I will no longer take no as an answer. You have put it off long enough and it is finally time to come home. Your real home with me, not that fake one you have been playing pretend with. The time for games is over. I will list an address below, come. If you don’t I will come for you.
No more games, no more running.
It’s time to come home…
123 address here
Love, M
Yoongi saw red as he looked over the words once and then twice. Images of the woman from his dance studio played in his head. That bitch was trying to take his alpha and was even delusional enough to think Hoseok was once hers. A growl rumbled in his small chest as he clutched the mail to his chest and pushed the blue letter into his pocket. He marched back up to the house and paused at the door. He had to get control of his scent so that Jin hyung didn’t think something was wrong. He was going to take care of this for himself.
He opened the door with a small smile on his face to mirror the one from this morning. It was hollow compared to that one but it was all he could muster right now and luckily Jin was still doing the dishes. While the beta’s back was turned Yoongi addressed him.
“I’ll put the mail on the table. I’m going to go for a walk and maybe stop to see Hoseok. I’ll be back later hyung.” he said in a cheerful tone and none the wiser Jin laughed and bared him farewell.
He grabbed one of Hoseok’s spare jackets from the rack as if to prove his point further to the woman. He left the house once again and typed the address into his phone and it told him it was a 30-minute hike to this place. He huffed a breath of frustration before taking the first step on his journey.
As he got closer and closer to the meetup place he got angrier and angrier about the whole situation. He would be damned if some homewrecker thought she could get between the two. He knows he probably shouldn’t have read the letter but it wasn’t outwardly addressed to someone until he began to read it and by that time he couldn’t put it down even if you paid him.
He should have told someone about where he was going or doing but he was too angry to think about that. Images of this woman rubbing up on his alpha played in his head and he was ready to end it all for good.
The letter didn’t have a meetup time so he hoped she would already be there waiting because he wasn’t sure if he could wait.
As he approached the building it looked like a rundown warehouse, what a shitty place to confess and pick up ‘your’ man. Yoongi pushed open one of the doors and a loud creaking noise echoed off the walls as he walked in.
“Well, well you finally decided to show up.” a female voice said but he stood when he realized he didn’t recognize the voice. This wasn’t the woman he thought it was and a spike of fear ran over him. He reached for his phone and pulled it out ready to text Jin where he was. Before he could even click on the messages a hand darted out and grabbed his phone. She ripped the phone from his hand and laughed as she threw it across the warehouse.
“You aren't Hoseok.” she leaned forward and smelled the omega and Yoongi was beginning to release distressed pheromones. “Though you sure do smell like him,” she added as she reached up and grabbed the edge of the jacket and ripped it to the side by the collar. She looked up and down his neck.
“Mmm, so he hasn’t claimed you, good.” She shoved him away a bit and Yoongi quickly back stepped so he wouldn’t fall. He wasn’t that weak.
“Who are you?” he asked as he now glared at the woman that was clearly a beta.
“No I’m the one asking questions here, who are you and what are you to Hoseok?” she asked as she leaned back and glared at the omega.
She had short blonde hair and wore ripped blue jeans and a white tank top. She screamed alpha even if she wasn’t one, she commanded others to submit to her. Yoongi has never seen something like that in a beta before, well at least not this strong.
“I’m not telling you anything!” he growled out and she laughed before moving forward and taking his chin in her hand.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had an omega growl at me before. Scary.” she laughed again before throwing his chin to the side.
“Well since you are important to Hoseok and he hasn’t come himself then we will take you until he comes himself,” she said in a scary calm tone.
“W-we?” he asked a bit shakily, the letter had only said her.
Two male beta’s and one alpha stepped out from behind pillars and walls around the warehouse.
“You can’t do this!” Yoongi screamed at her and she just folded her arms and rose her head looking down her nose at him.
“Watch me omega.” she spit out like acid. "Make sure to grab his phone too."
Yoongi turned to run but was grabbed by the back of the neck by the alpha. He leaned closer to Yoongi’s ear. “I like when they run,” he growled out. His voice was deep with lust. A shiver ran down Yoongi’s spine and he went placid in his hold as memories from the shelter cycled through his mind.
“Mmm good omega.” and just like that he was loaded into a van and they drove off with Yoongi in the back between the alpha and beta. A warm hand slid up his thigh and Yoongi was paralyzed with fear. Fear of this and it all happening to him again. He should fight and show he wasn’t going to be easily taken advantage of but he couldn’t. His omega was scared to fight back against this alpha.
“p-please don’t…” Yoongi said in a small pleading voice.
“I don’t take orders from you omega. Why don’t you just relax and enjoy the ride.” he chuckled out next to him and Yoongi paled at the implication.
hoseok...
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yoongi was pushed from the van and stumbled a few steps before finally losing his grip and hitting the floor. He could feel jeans under his knee rip as he slid against the concrete, his hands not faring any better.
The omega looked at the cold gray ground as he thought about how he ended up here and by himself no less. Why had he been so stupid? It was because he had gotten too comfortable in his life and of course as soon as he lowered his guard something like this happened to him. Once again he was going to be ripped from a family he loved and loved him in return.
He looked up to see that they had driven far from the town he knew and deep into the woods. The road they had just gotten off of was just a long stretch with nothing around it but trees. His best guess was that this lot of land he was on now was owned by her pack.
A large wooden house was feet off to his side and looked to be well taken care of as well as impressive. They clearly weren’t just a band of criminals but a pack out for Hoseok it seemed.
His mind wondered about the people who had recently started to stalk the members of his pack and wondered if these were the same people. His hatred for all of them was growing quickly as he slowly began to add more and more pieces to this puzzle. The picture was becoming clear but it was still missing some key details.
The omega was brought out of his deep thought when the same woman from before started to address him.
“Now, little omega, tell me, how fast will he come for you once he hears we have you?” the woman asked with a sick smile as she crouched down to look at his face.
Yoongi looked to her with a deep glare as he tried to keep himself strong, he wasn’t going to cooperate with these heathens. It was obvious that they knew Hoseok but how was still very much up in the air.
“Oh come on, I need a little fun.” the woman pouted as she beckoned to someone behind him to come forward. He heard heavy footsteps and a smell that told him it was the alpha from before.
“How about this if Hoseok doesn’t come here in an hour than I will give you to Bon over here. After all, he went out of his way to help retrieve you and he has taken a bit of a liking to you.” She smiled sweetly but it dripped with a sinister aura.
Her once beckoning hand turned into one of want as she twitched her fingers at the big man. As if it had been a verbal command the man dropped his phone into her awaiting palm before retreating back and giving her room.
“Now let’s try to get in contact with the orange-haired alpha,” she said as she unlocked his phone and went through his contacts. It didn’t take her long to find him since he only had his pack members' names in his phone.
“Not so popular are we?” she asked teasingly as she pressed call on Hoseok and the phone began to ring.
Yoongi?
It was Hoseok’s voice and he leaned forward to speak but before he could get out even a sound the alpha behind him covered his mouth and muffled it in his hand. Yoongi cursed to himself as he watched the woman smile in front of him.
“Hoseok my dear.” she smiled wider into the phone.
Min? What the hell have you done? Where is Yoongi?!
His voice was angry and nothing like the omega has ever heard before. Yoongi struggled in the alpha’s hold as he tried to wiggle away so he could call for help. Hoseok had to save him, someone had to. He was just now becoming happy and he didn’t want to lose everything all over again.
“Oh is that any way to treat an old pack mate? Here I have been, missing you. Actually, now that you mention it we all have. We need our leader back.” her voice started off airy and light but soon became dark by the end.
Leader? Hoseok was a leader of a pack? When and why has he never said anything about it? Yoongi was having a hard time placing everything together. It took a lot of him not to let his mind wander back to the shelter or any time before then.
The woman moved away from her as she continued to talk to him but from their distance now he could no longer hear what they were talking about. He continued to try and break free but he wasn’t strong enough.
“Hmmm well come get him and we can talk in person, how about that?” she said rather loudly and then paused as she looked back to Yoongi.
“Oh and come alone,” she said before telling him their presumable address. She hung up the phone and tossed it back to one of the betas from before, they caught it with ease. Yoongi was going to take this chance to see if he could get some information. Luckily, the alpha’s hand moved away from his mouth after she had hung up the phone.
“Why are you doing this? He clearly doesn’t want to be your leader,” he growled out and the woman’s eyes became pinpoints on him.
“Well good thing I didn’t fucking ask you then,” she growled as she moved closer and grabbed his face in her hand and squeezed rather painfully.
“He is our true leader and as much as we would all love for Kang-Dae to be it he simply can’t until he has beaten Hoseok in battle,” she said angrily as her fingers squeezed harder and his cheeks started to complain.
“Many of our members are old fashioned and won’t accept an alpha not sired from their previous leader to take the title, that is unless beat in a battle to the death.” she breathed into his face with a grin and he wanted nothing else to lean forward and bite her.
That was such an old fashioned way of thinking and battles to the death were outlawed a long time ago for being inhumane when you could just pass it on or simply beat them without killing the other.
Though most people thought that it had to be to the death so that wouldn’t try to reclaim the title later. A growl rumbled up his throat and she released his face only to press a finger to his lips as if to silence his growls. Seeing his chance his eyes grew wide as he quickly opened his mouth and chomped down on her finger as hard as he could muster. His jaw locked in place as the taste of blood washed around in his mouth and a scream of pain filled the air.
She instinctively tried to tug her finger away and that only worsened her situation because it pulled the last bit of skin holding her finger together off. Yoongi watched her back away as something limp fell onto his tongue and she screamed louder in horror as she pulled her hand up and the top of her finger was missing.
A bit surprised but happy with the turn of events Yoongi growled as he spits her finger out and onto the filthy floor.
“YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU’VE DONE!!” She belted out as the sharp strike to the back of his head sent him to the ground and soon darkness took over his vision.
As he faded he could still taste the iron from her blood and heard the screams from her wicked lips.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
When Yoongi woke up once again he was being tied to the railing of the house he saw before he was knocked out. His ears were ringing and he was having a hard time focusing on things around him as his eyes shifted around. The taste of blood was gone from his mouth but the warm feeling on the back of his head notified him that he was now bleeding.
A figure walked in front of him and when Yoongi tried to focus on the person his vision didn’t get any better. The figure stopped when he saw him looking and began to approach the tied up omega. Yoongi pressed further into the fence post as he tried to move further away from the unknown figure.
“Hmm what do we have here? Are you Hoseok’s omega?” a deep voice asked and Yoongi felt a hand grab his face not being able to see it coming. Dawn was upon them and was casting him further into the shadows. With his face now in the hands of this person he moved his head to the side and then the other.
“It would seem he hasn’t mated you yet. Well once I take this pack from him I will take his mate to be as well. Be ready for me, omega.” the voice said lowly and Yoongi’s vision started to clear as his face stilled.
The man before him had piercing blue eyes and his hair was as brown as dark oak. The smell that he gave off was alpha and it reminded him of chestnut. It wasn’t unpleasant but the words he spoke and the events that just transpired put the omega on edge and made him untrusting. He could put two and two together to figure out that this must be Kang-Dae.
“No” Yoongi got out with a raspy breath and that only seemed to please him more as a smile spread over his face. “I love omega’s with high spirits, it makes it so much fun to break them down,” he growled out and the chestnut smell turned sour.
Luckily that was all the alpha wanted to say before he turned and made his way towards the tree lines. Yoongi took this time to see if he could slip his hands out of his restraints or even break them but to no avail. He was helpless and a part of him hated that he could do nothing. Once again he was at the hands of some random alpha and they held his fate.
The omega tried not to pity himself as he thought of Hoseok. That’s all he wanted right now, he wanted to be wrapped up in his arms. The smell of vanilla surrounding his body and easing his body into relaxation because with Hoseok he knew he was safe.
He didn’t want others thinking they could just claim him on a whim. He was Hoseok’s and as he sat on the cold earth he realized he didn’t want to wait any longer. He knew in his heart he belonged to Hoseok and Hoseok to him.
The phone cut out and it took Hoseok a second to process what just happened. His body started to vibrate with emotions he knew he couldn’t control, at least not right now. His eyes had become unfocused as his instincts tried to take over. His inner wolf howling at him, scratching inside his mind.
They have our mate, we need to track them down. Kill them, how dare they lay hands on what is ours. He is scared and he needs us. Destroy anything that gets in our path. Take back what is ours!
Hoseok fought back against his inner wolf as he tried to calm himself down. Freaking out and running headfirst into this kind of situation would kill them both. He wouldn’t be doing them any favors, so instead, he calmed his wolf down and turned back to his phone.
He had to get a hold of Namjoon and the others. This isn’t about him, Yoongi is a part of
their
pack not just his. This is a matter for all of them.
So he searched through his contacts and clicked on Namjoon’s name. His face was in a permanent frown as he placed it to his ear.
“Hello?”
“Namjoon, Yoongi hyung was taken.”
There was a pause on the other side of the line, Hoseok could hear their pack alpha absorb the information.
“By whom? Do we know where he’s at? Do they want a ransom?”
“I know where they are holding him and…”
He explained his past and why they had taken them. It was hard to confess all of this to his leader but he needed to know. It was a long time coming and it was good to have everything off his chest.
“I see, I’ll gather the others. Meet at the house and we will go and get our omega back.”
His words reassured the young alpha a bit but he was still nervous. They could be harming Yoongi and so he hung up the phone and made his way back home.
Once everyone was at home and together they spoke about what had happened and what to do now. To be honest, Hoseok zoned in and out of the conversation, whenever he would look at the other pack mates all he got were worried glances. He understood why not it only furthered his worrying.
Taehyung brought up the topic of calling the cops but Namjoon hyung shut that down quickly. In these kinds of cases they would tell each party to stop but then do nothing further. Most times the packs would just start fighting again and nothing was resolved.
The time for the meet up was soon and the pack piled into the car and set out. Namjoon was on the phone at one point but it was drowned out by his thoughts of Yoongi. Once they got closer to the address the car stopped and Hoseok got out.
“Don’t come any closer in the car, they will have guards and watchers as you get closer. Come on foot and be quiet."
This would either make them stronger or break them.
Yoongi struggles in his restraints but nothing gives and he couldn’t help but feel like pathetic bait, after all, that’s what he is. Yoongi had his head hung low as he waited for something, anything to happen.
“Hoseok, I see you’ve finally made it.” the moment the alpha’s name left that bitches mouth Yoongi’s head snapped up. Right in front of him was the one man he has been craving to see as soon as he was taken.
Hoseok looked pissed and was stiff as he made his way closer to the house the omega was tied to.
“Release him.” his alpha growled to the woman in front of him.
“You know we can’t do that Hoseok. All you have to do is fight Kang-Dae and you can have your play thing back...or if you lose then Kang-Dae gets him.” a sick smile spread over her face and Hoseok growled at the threat.
“What did you just say?” he asked and even though they were still rather far apart Yoongi could smell the angry pheromones coming off of him in waves. Yoongi wanted to shrink back but he held his ground and as the minutes passed the omega became mad as well.
How could he come alone? It was him against all of them, no matter how strong Yoongi thought his alpha was there was no way he was going to beat all of them. His usually pleasant mint smell shifted to an angry one and he watched as Hoseok’s eyes shifted to him. Their eyes met for one beautiful and longing look before Yoongi was snatched by the chin and forced to look into blue eyes.
“Careful omega or I will claim you now.” he spoke lowly but Hoseok heard, if the thundering sound of footsteps were any indicator. The strong scent of burned vanilla filled his nose and he was able to give one fearful look at Hoseok as a fist connected with the other alpha’s face.
A storm of limbs and growls followed after and all Yoongi could do was watch as Hoseok and Kang-Dae threw punches like this was a street fight. Yoongi knew every little about what was transpiring but he had heard the mumbles and conversations in passing as he waited for Hoseok to come for him.
They would brawl with only their hands until there was just one left standing and the other was bleeding out, dying on the dirt floor. He had pictured it in his head before the fight actually started but it was far worse than he imagined.
As they fought blood sprayed from their mouths from each face hit. Crimson painted their knuckles, clothing, and the earth below them. Yoongi was so close he could hear things crack under the pressure of blows that looked particularly brutal. He was frozen in fear as he watched the love of his life fight for his life. It was one thing to say it was a fight to the death but it was a whole other thing to see it.
Hoseok dodged a lot of the blows but they seemed to be evenly matched as they traded punches and blows. That was until a very brutal and raw hit Hoseok in the temple and he shook his head as he fought for his consciousness.
A scream ripped from his body as he fought against his restraints, he could feel the skin around the bondings tear and warmth cover his fingers.
“Stop! Stop!” he growled out as he tried to lung forward, he tried to stop any further harm to his alpha. Hoseok was his and no one was going to take that from him. Not before they became official and lived long happy lives together. He wouldn’t accept anything less.
“You’re killing him. Please stop!” he cried out as he continued to tug at his bindings. His mind was too lost to feel the pain in his wrists. His desperate pleas fell on deaf ears as he called out to someone to stop this savagery. Time seemed to be lost as he listened and watched each punch connect with one or the other. A numbing sensation washed over him and he fought to stay in control of his mind. He was losing everything all over again.
He must have started to cry because his vision was blurry and it was hard to focus on anything. His head turned to search for Hoseok again, unaware he had looked away, to begin with.
Hoseok was on the ground clutching his torso and a spike of fresh fear hit him like a fucking truck.
“Get up, baby please, get up!” he screamed as he tried to move closer, tried to block him from anything further.
He tugged wildly at his binding when suddenly the restraints holding him back ceased and he could move. He fell forward from the force and looked up to see a bloodied and hurt Kang-Dae about to bring another hit down on his mate. Yoongi used all of his strength and crawled a few steps before he finally got to his feet and threw himself at the horrid alpha. In shock and fatigue from the fight they both toppled over and once Yoongi was on top of Kang-Dae he bit down on the alpha’s neck.
It wasn’t near his gland and as his fangs pierced his throat he pulled away and tore what he could with him. Yoongi felt his instincts take over and he no longer had control over his body as his omegan side took over.
His eyes glowed a deep red as the blood from Kang-Dae poured from his mouth, his chest heaved as a deep rage filled him. He thought of his family, his time in the sanctuary, the fight.
The alpha looked up at him in shock as he reached for his neck, blood leaking from his fingers.
“Someone get that crazy bitch!” he heard a female voice call, no doubt speaking of him.
Hoseok was getting to his wobbly feet as he stared at Yoongi in shock and awe.
Yoongi was about to go for the kill when he was tugged off by Min and he struggled before going limp and dropping all of his weight to the floor. The woman stumbled and dropped him as he did so and then he swung his legs around and tripped her.
She fell on her ass and looked at him in fear as he went to strike again. Once more he was grabbed and that was when he noticed the chaos that was going on around him.
He recognized his pack fighting the other and some random other men and women that weren’t here before.
What was going on? Who was the enemy again?
His mind was getting jumbled up as his instincts told him to destroy everyone.
The hold on him loosened a bit and that was when he noticed he was being spoken to.
“Shhh I’m here now omega.” a familiar and warm voice spoke into his ear.
“Such a good omega, protecting your alpha.” the voice added and that was when Yoongi took the time to breathe and sweet vanilla filled his nose. Hoseok.
“That’s right Yoongi, I’m here. You can relax now.” he spoke sweetly as arms scooped him up and began walking him away. How did he still have the strength to hold him?
“You are so amazing, you did such a good job.” Hoseok kept complimenting him and the omega could feel his body turn into pudding as his muscles relaxed, his mind returning to him.
Yoongi vaguely saw people being carried away and stuffed into vans, his pack helping the strangers load the awful pack.
The omega turned to Hoseok and their eyes met, Yoongi could see in them was unwavering love and concern. Yoongi could get lost in those eyes, that was his last thought as he drifted off into a deep slumber.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
When Yoongi woke up again he was laying down on the couch in the living room. He looked around, still expecting to be tied to that post. Though as he looked around he saw no one, though he could hear people talking in the kitchen. The omega sat up and as he moved his head it pounded with a severe migraine. He glanced down at his wrists, they were bandaged and he was cleaned up. His mind instantly thought of Jin Hyung, he must have patched him up. Even bandaged he could still feel the sting of his wounds pressed against the wrappings.
He remembered everything from before but when Hoseok showed up and started the fight with Kang-Dae it started to become blurry. Did Hoseok win? Was Kang-Dae dead then? He couldn’t really see Hoseok killing anyone but then again anyone could be pushed to it for the right reasons.
His omega instincts told him to find Hoseok, to make sure he was okay. His body screamed at him to search for his mate, even if they weren’t mated yet. He closed his eyes for a second and tried to smell for that familiar vanilla scent. His eyes slid open again once he realized he was in the kitchen, though he wasn’t talking.
Instead of sitting and waiting for someone to come to check on him, he wanted to get the answers. He got up and stumbled a step before making his way into the kitchen and as soon as he entered the doorway Hoseok was at his side.
“Yoongi hyung you’re awake! We were so worried about you. Are you okay? How are you feeling?” Hoseok was in his ear asking and Yoongi had to really think about what he was saying. The thudding of his head making it hard to focus.
“What happened?” He asked, he wasn’t trying to ignore Hoseok but he needed to know. He was obviously okay but what had happened after that, his mind was still too hazy to remember.
“You don’t remember Hyung?” A voice spoke up across from him. It was Jimin and as he looked at the other omega he moved closer to Yoongi.
Hoseok stiffened next to him a bit as if he saw Jimin as an intruder. After a moment he relaxed again and Yoongi sent out a comforting scent. Mint filled the air and it seemed to ease the mood. Everyone visibly relaxed as if his scent made everything better. It reassured them that he was indeed back and safe. His pack could rest now and doing this really showed Yoongi how important he was to all of them. Looking around at their faces and smelling them showed him just how much he was needed here. They were all tense and ready to fight anyone, even one another if they saw them as a threat, which they shouldn't be. Though tension was high and Yoongi could understand how on edge they all were, after all, he was just kidnapped.
“You went feral and tackled Kang-Dae when he tried to hurt Hoseok. You went for his throat, I think you almost killed the guy.” Jungkook spoke up from across the kitchen as he took a sip of his drink. It shook Yoongi out of his thoughts as he looked to Jungkook.
“I what?!” Yoongi spoke up as he looked around his pack as if to see if he was lying.
“You protected Hoseok, such a good mate.” Jin Hyung said as he draped his arms around Namjoon’s shoulders.
A deep blush crawled up his neck and over his face. How could Hyung say something like that so easily and in front of everyone? He didn’t even get to ask Hoseok about that yet.
The sound of someone clearing their throat pulled him back from his thoughts and he looked over to Hoseok.
“After that, I pulled you away and calmed you down. Then someone who owed Namjoon Hyung a favor came to help. They took them away. I don’t know what happened to them but I don’t think they will bother us again.” Hoseok said seriously and he wrapped Yoongi up in his arms protectively.
“You shouldn’t have gone alone.” He whispered to the omega and all Yoongi could do was lean into him and agree.
It was late and Yoongi was getting ready for bed. His head hadn’t gotten any better throughout the day. Hoseok and he hadn’t really had time to talk during the day and honestly, the omega wasn’t even sure what he would say.
He wanted to confess his love, even if he had already. More than that he wanted to tell Hoseok he was ready, he wanted to mate and move forward in their relationship. He came to realize something while he was captured.
He didn’t want anyone else but Hoseok. He was tired of people looking at him like a slab of meat they could take and devour. The only mouth he wanted on him was Hoseok’s.
The sun to his moon and the light to his darkness. His life had been so void of life and color until Hoseok breathed it back into him. The alpha reminded him of what it felt like to actually live rather than survive.
His train of thought came to a halt when the smell of nervous vanilla wafted in from under his door. A small smile spread across the omega’s face as he righted himself in bed and waited for the alpha to throw open the door.
It took a couple more moments before Hoseok slowly opened the door and walked into the omega’s room. He looked a bit nervous as he pressed the door closed behind him.
“Yoongi,” Hoseok said quietly, just looking into his eyes the omega could tell he had a lot to say but didn’t know how to say it. Mixed emotions and feelings seeped out of him and Yoongi quickly realized it was the same emotions he had been feeling while captured and away from Hoseok. The same feelings he had been feeling up until he decided what he was finally going to do about them.
It was then that Yoongi realized that the emotions they were feeling couldn’t be translated into words, that they ran so deep that trying to describe them was futile. So instead of using words Yoongi was prepared to show him, after all, actions speak louder than words.
The omega threw the covers off of himself slowly and turned more towards Hoseok. The alpha looked a bit confused but when he locked eyes with the small man he realized what he was doing. Yoongi’s eyes looked over him longingly and with lust as he held the alpha’s eyes. The usual mint turning into something more alluring as he pumped out his sweet pheromones.
A pale hand slid down the length of his torso as Yoongi reached the bottom of his shirt and began to lift it up over his head. Smooth pale skin slowly revealed itself and Hoseok’s took a step forward to feel. A mix of vanilla and mint filled the room as their lust for one another grew.
Hoseok’s tanned hand was on his torso moments after taking the shirt off. His fingers feeling out the curves and smaller muscles on its journey. It was like the alpha was mesmerized by the small omega and the feeling of wanting to devour him whole crossed the alpha’s mind.
“Are you sure about this? This is different than last time.” Hoseok asked as he leaned Yoongi back and pressed his hips against the omega’s. The action caused the older man to gasp, whenever Hoseok touched him it always felt good.
“I want you, all of you,” he spoke the last half in a huskier tone than the first. To be honest this was more talking than he thought there would be.
Yoongi moved his legs open so that the alpha could fit between them easily. The feeling of his alpha pressed against him caused slick to start dripping from him. The alpha meanwhile was peppering kisses and sucking on the skin of his bare chest. Soft moans escaped Yoongi’s mouth as he ran his hands through the alpha’s hair.
“I want to be yours, Hoseok.” the omega found himself saying and that seemed to catch the alpha’s attention. After all, they were already dating so to say something like that, it meant mating. Hoseok had already known this time was different but now he knows why.
It was like thick clouds of lust were rolling off of Hoseok and just from the smell, Yoongi could feel himself get more and more excited.
The alpha pulled away and began to strip slowly in front of his omega, he wanted the other to enjoy the view. So as he pulled off his shirt and reached for his pants his eyes never left the omega. It was like Hoseok was eye-fucking him from there and Yoongi couldn’t help but squirm under his gaze.
Once nude Hoseok practically dived forward onto the bed, he was half on Yoongi before pulling back and starting to unbutton his pants. As he pulled off his pants he made sure to bring his boxers with it, thick tanned fingers trailing along the length of his leg as he did so.
Yoongi bit his lip as he watched Hoseok finish undressing him. Now both nude Yoongi couldn’t help but smirk as he watched Hoseok turn away to drop his clothing in a pile. With his eyes finally off Yoongi, the omega turned around and presented himself to his alpha.
His chest was pressed against the bed and ass sticking straight up in the air for him. When Hoseok turned around he let out such a guttural moan that it had Yoongi’s hole quivering. Slick was rolling down his thighs as he slowly died from anticipation.
“Fuck hyung,” he growled and Yoongi could only seem him out of the corner of his eye but the smell he was giving off was divine. He expected fingers to enter him but was shocked when instead a broad tongue was plunged into his awaiting hole. A loud moan left him and no doubt their whole pack was hearing this and Yoongi wasn’t sure if that turned him on or not.
The tongue swirled inside of him and around the whole, slick still leaking out as he was being devoured by the alpha. He was shocked once again when a hand reached around and grabbed his loose-hanging cock. It wasn’t as big as Hoseok’s but it didn’t need to be.
The alpha stroked him as he fucked him with his tongue and honestly, Yoongi was losing his control to think, he was just a mess of feelings and wants.
“T-teasing me, ahh, I want your knot.” Yoongi tried to get out between moans and breathes. His legs were starting to shake under the multiple sensations being delivered to him at once.
Soon the tongue was being ripped from his core and he couldn’t help but let out a moan as his body chased after it. Hoseok’s hand still hadn’t stopped pumping his cock and pre-cum was leaking from its tip. A familiar finger circled his hole, smearing the slick and soaking the digit thoroughly. The next moment it was being submerged into his needy core and at this point, Yoongi was a moaning mess.
The ability to think was thrown out the window as Hoseok left him needy and disarrayed. Moans and almost unintelligible words left his mouth. Hoseok’s fingers explored his insides like it was the first time and when he added the second one soon after he found the spot. Thick fingers slammed into that special bundle of nerves. His hand was mid upstroke when his other hit the spot and it had Yoongi seeing white as he came into Hoseok’s hand. The cum filling it and spilling onto the comforter of his bed.
The high was incredible and as he leaking cock was released he basked in the feeling of his orgasm. As he took a breath in he was being slammed into by Hoseok’s cock and another gasp left Yoongi’s lips. He was ready to take it and he hadn’t even noticed with all the attention on him.
“How are you still so tight?” the alpha growled out and the deep rumble had Yoongi’s legs shaking. Hoseok felt the quivering and wrapped his strong arm around his waist to hold him up in case his legs gave out.
The alpha slammed into a couple more times before reaching his free hand down to his shoulder and pulling him up so they were in doggy style. At this angle, Hoseok found his prostate again and began to abuse it ruthlessly but it was all Yoongi wanted as he felt his own cock spring back to life with each hit.
The two of them were a mess of moans and groans as Hoseok laid into him, both lost in the pleasure. Then Yoongi felt his hole getting caught on the edge of Hoseok’s knot and just that had the omega’s eyes rolling back inside his head.
“Knot me Alpha, make me yours,” Yoongi growled out in challenge, and Hoseok rose to the occasion.
“Mine, only mine omega.” he hand leaned forward to drape himself over the omega so he could growl that into his ear. The knot was now catching with each thrust and Yoongi could practically feel it getting bigger. Hoseok had begun licking and kissing his scent gland subconsciously picking where he was going to put his mark. The two of them were both gone and running on their primal instincts.
One more thrust and Hoseok’s knot was pushed through, forcing Yoongi wider than he had ever gone. The pain mixed in with the pleasure and Yoongi once again felt his eyes roll back inside his head. His arms gave out but Hoseok was still holding him up as he thrust deep, his knot holding them together as he fucked him with it.
Yoongi could feel his stomach tighten and he could feel another orgasm on the way. Hoseok must have smelled it in his pheromones because he sped up and just as Yoongi came so did Hoseok. During his bliss-filled moments, Hoseok gave one last lick before plunging his canines into his gland. The pain once again mixed with the pleasure and Yoongi moaned.
As they came down from their high Hoseok pulled his teeth from his neck and began licking up the blood and tending to the sensitive area. Yoongi was still limp in Hoseok’s arms but the alpha had no problem holding him close. After all, they were still tied together with Hoseok’s knot. It would be minutes before it went down so as Yoongi slumped against him tiredly the alpha tended to him. Aftercare was very important and it helped cement the bond they now shared. He continued to lick the blood away and press kisses around the wound. The alpha whispered sweet nothing into his ear as he moved them into a more comfortable position.
“All mine.” the alpha said softly to Yoongi and all Yoongi could do in return was purr.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Eight months had passed since Yoongi and Hoseok bonded and finally became mates. Many things had happened during those months but the pack couldn’t be happier then they were right now.
Namjoon revealed to the pack that he used to be part of a gang back in the day and he had barely escaped with his life when Jin found him and nursed him back to health. The day Yoongi had been kidnapped he had called in a favor someone from his old life had owed him.
They had come and taken Hoseok’s old pack and taught them a lesson, they asked if Namjoon had wanted them to kill the pack but he said no. He was done with senseless murder and they were released. Though if they ever came after Namjoon’s pack again they wouldn’t be shown mercy twice.
With Namjoon’s past being brought up, Jimin and Yoongi spoke up about their unfinished business. Namjoon helped Yoongi file a report about the men who abused him in the shelter and a few weeks later they were told the two were fired. Apparently the government had passed some new laws about omega’s and how they should be treated. So they looked into all the shelters and appointed new people to run them. With the new management they looked into everyone’s records and fired those they saw fit.
Jimin still wanted to know about Nari and what had happened to her once he left. Jin looked in the omega logs and found she was taken to a new pack since her father sold her. Jimin had already known this but he needed some closure. He wanted to make sure she was really okay and that she knew he was too.
Jin reached out to the pack and they got back to him rather quickly. Nari apparently never stopped talking about Jimin and she wanted to meet him again. Once the hard part was over they set up a time and place to meet.
They had agreed on a cafe and when Nari walked in the door Jimin could tell she was happy and healthy. She had grown so much since he had last seen her and she had already presented too. She told him about her life with her pack and how happy she was that her father sold her to them. She spoke about presenting as a beta and how she wished she was an omega like him. She told Jimin he was strong and how she saw him as her older brother. At this, the omega cried because it reminded him so much of his relationship with Yoongi and how happy he was now knowing.
They had parted ways that day with smiles on their face and a date and time for their next meet up. They decided to stay in touch and even exchanged numbers. Her new pack was wonderful and he was glad there were more packs like Namjoon’s.
When asked about Taehyung’s past he said he wanted to leave it, it was in the past for a reason. He has grown and moved forward and had no reason to look back. He had long forgiven his family for setting him up with a scumbag but that didn’t mean he wanted them back in his life. He had a family here and that was all he needed, especially when Jimin, Jungkook, and himself had all mated. Their bond was still fresh but after months of wooing Jimin and working on problems that arose, they had overcome all of them. So each of them left their past in the past and moved forward together.
Another thing that happened soon after Hoseok and Yoongi mated was the omega finding out he was pregnant. He was eight months along and was ready to be over with it, his back hurt, his feet, and he was grouchy more than usual.
The two had been shocked but still were happy to have a new addition coming to the family. They had been saving up money and Yoongi had even gotten a job at a library to help. The pack sold their house and bought a bigger one for their growing family even Namjoon and Jin Hyung were thinking of adopting. The pack couldn’t be happier as they looked towards their future and it was a bright one.
