(Omg the difference in the size of their muscles lol!)

The afternoon shifted to evening.
All members of the Jeon family and Taehyung had a family dinner. Everyone tried their best to comfort and welcome Taehyung; they encouraged him to have seconds and kept pouring drinks into his glass. They all had fun together and made Taehyung wonder how they managed to look so intimidating but at the table they were all so friendly and calm.

He tried to catch Jungkook's attention as discretely as possible, but the other was always busy eating or sat quite detached from the family's conversations. Taehyung was confused but was constantly overwhelmed by the attention he had from everyone.

It was now late evening and Jin had just talked to Taehyung. He felt weird opening up to someone who he'd been humiliated by and afraid of, but here Jin just seemed like a totally different person. A kind and warm-hearted brother, one he had truly longed for.

Taehyung sat outside where he had been earlier with the queen. She had wanted Taehyung to call her mother and he was more than happy to do so.

Slowly all the emptiness in his life was being filled.

He stared out into the open, enjoying the smooth and slightly cold breeze. He then remembered Jungkook and his strange behaviour. There had to be a reason, and he couldn't help but hope that he wasn't the reason. Taehyung wondered on and on about what he may have done wrong, and he suddenly recalled how he had told mother (Every time it's mother he means Jeon Miyeon now) about his rank.

What if he's avoiding me because of my rank! Is he disgusted by me?

Taehyung hadn't realised the silent tears steaming down his face until he tasted the salty water on the corner of his lips. That's when he broke down into quiet sobs, head on his laps trying his best not to be heard.
No one else had seemed to mind after finding out he was an omega, so why Jungkook. It pierced his heart, maybe even more so than if everyone else were disgusted at him combined. Jungkook had become such an irreplaceable person in his life, he missed his warmth terribly and wanted to be held by those strong arms again.

"Have you seen Taehyung hyung?" Jungkook asked Jin whilst looking for Taehyung.
"Ah I just had a chat with him I think he was heading outside. But, why are you avoiding him?"
"Avoiding him? No, I just, i don't know how to make him feel better. I know he's been through so much but I always sense he feels uncomfortable and restricted around me." He sighed.
"Well either you're right or it's the opposite." Jin winked and pushed him towards the doors. Jungkook hoped Jin was right because he really wanted to hold Taehyung tight and get to know him more.
He quickly hopped outside and noticed a blonde head in the wooden open hut. He ran towards the other knowing it was Taehyung instantly. Jungkook could smell the scent of his hurt.
Silence.
"Are you crying?" He knew that was a dumb thing to say when he could literally hear the gentle sobs.

Taehyung refused to look up.

Jungkook sat down by Taehyung and debated whether or not to pull the other into his arms.

"Please Tae, tell me what's wrong."

Taehyung still refused to look up.

The debate was over and Jungkook carefully held Taehyung so that he was on his laps. Taehyung clutched onto Jungkook's shirt and hid his face into the other's chest. After a few minutes the sobbing stopped, but neither moved.

"What's wrong my angel, did any of us hurt you?"
"N-no. I just thought y-you didn't want me anymore." He mumbled.
"What! Why would you think that?"
"Because you never spoke to me at all or even looked at me. I was afraid you were disgusted by my rank..." his voice was still shaky from all the crying.
"No that's not true at all." He felt so guilty and pecked Taehyung's blonde hair.
"The truth is I thought you weren't comfortable around me, so I was thinking of ways to make you open up to me."
Taehyung giggled in relief.
"So my rank doesn't bother you?"
"Of course not."

They smiled at each other and decided to go for a walk whilst conversing. The whole time their hands were intertwined, both blushing but thankfully to the darkness of the night it wasn't seen.

"Soo, Taehyung you know we're true mates right?"
"What's that?"
"You're a beta and I'm an alpha. The closest we could get to being soulmates like an omega and alpha. I read it in the books." He smiled brightly, proud of the fact he actually read the book Namjoon insisted for him to read.

He still thinks I'm a beta? What should I do?

Taehyung was staring blankly ahead. He had been very unresponsive to anything the other said.
"Yah, Tae are you even listening?"
"Eh, ah sorry hehe."
"Oh well I guess it was good you never heard the last part of what I said." Jungkook scratched the back of his head. This time he was blushing too furiously for it not to be seen.
Taehyung thought it was so cute, he found himself leaping onto Jungkook. The other was so unprepared they both toppled over and laughed.

(Back in the room but no smut yet I'm still practising πŸ€“πŸ˜)

"How do you want to sleep?"
"Hmm?"
"I mean this is your room sooo-"
"Mine and yours now Taehyung. If you're still a bit uncomfortable I can sleep on the coach near my desk."

"NO!"
Both stood in shock.
Jungkook was amazed at how loud Taehyung was.
Taehyung cursed himself for screaming.
"Ah I-I mean we could just, you know, sleep on the bed t-together." He sounded so desperate,
he puked internally.
"Sure."

Yay!!!!

You do realise your cuteness turns me on.

Taehyung kept a blank face from then on.
