Jungkook woke up next day with his arms and legs tangled with Taehyung's. The elder had his face buried in Jungkook's hair while Jungkook was nuzzling Taehyung's chest.

Something felt a little weird to Jungkook. It was not exactly a presence, but more like a feeling, a second feeling. It was hard to explain. Jungkook was happy, but there was another feeling of happiness, somewhat different and separate from his.

At first, Jungkook thought it was JK, but quickly realised it's not. Because his and JK's emotions are connected and heavily influenced by each other. This was something else.

"It's your mate."

Jungkook was a little startled by his wolf's suddenly input. "What?"

"It's your mate's emotions that you are sensing. Marking will do that. I should feel my Alpha too, when he wakes up."

"Oh."

Jungkook felt a small smile staring to spread through his face. Insight in to hyungie's mind.. yeah, he wouldn't mind that at all.

"Wait! Will I be able to hear his thoughts too?"

JK scoffed in his shared mind. "No, you dummy. Both needs to be marked to have the possibility of the mind link. It's just us sensing a little bit of their mood. For now."

Jungkook hummed in agreement. "For now."

After few more minutes of silently admiring Taehyung's sleeping face, Jungkook got out of the bed. It was time to make some delicious breakfast for Taehyung.

Jungkook's mission in life from now on to keep that happy emotion forever in Taehyung's mind.

And breakfast is the best start for that.

After eating the breakfast prepared by Jungkook, Taehyung went to work. Namjoon had already shortlisted few applications from the job vacancy he posted. So soon, they will be able to hire a replacement for Taehyung. About three weeks had already passed and while Taehyung was sad to leave his friends, he was excited to return home too.

He missed his home very much. And now that he decided to keep Jungkook close despite the prophecy, he intended to fulfil his responsibility to his pack too.

Taehyung went home early that day, as it is the game night and they had plans to meet at Namjoon's house to watch. He had to pick Jungkook from home while Jimin said he'll go there directly.

Jimin and Namjoon was already settled in the sofa when Jungkook and Taehyung came. Taehyung plopped on to the armchair while Jungkook settled on the floor, leaning between Taehyung's spread legs.

Right at that moment, Jin walked out from the kitchen, carrying three plates of snacks. "You guys made it."

"Hey Jin hyung." Taehyung said in a cheery voice while Jungkook quickly got up to his feet.

"Let me help you hyung."

Jungkook jogged towards Jin, only to see Jin stiffening mid stride. One of the plates started to slip through his fingers but Jin managed to caught it.

Jungkook stopped too, as he looked at Jin with confused eyes. The elder's gaze flickered back and forth between Jungkook and Taehyung few times, before they stopped with Jungkook.

"Hyung, is something wrong-"

"Of course not!" Jin's voice was on a little higher pitch than usual but his eyes had the same warmth in it.

He gave a soft smile to Jungkook as he walked near him and pushed two plates in to his hand. Jungkook was even more confused at this sudden switch back so he just stood there, blinking rapidly.

Jin tilted his head to the side. "I thought you were gonna help me with those."

That snapped Jungkook out of his dazed state and he smiled back at Jin. "Ah- yes! Yes, I was."

"Well, come on." Jin used his free hand to tug Jungkook by his elbow.

The rest of the night was all fun and laughter. Only Namjoon noticed the subtle and curious glances that Jin was giving to both Jungkook and Taehyung. But he decided to not ask about it.

If something was wrong with either of them, he can trust Jin to let him know too.

Taehyung and Jungkook was shopping, as the younger wanted to buy a new pair of shoes. They could have easily get it delivered but then decided to make a shopping date out of it.

They had been walking around for sometime now, looking at shops and going in when they found something interesting. They were happily enjoying their time together, not noticing the glaring eyes that were following them.

Bogum scowled in displeasure, as he watched the duo. He absolutely hated Jungkook, for being able to touch what should have been his, and would have liked nothing else than to make Jungkook disappear from the face of the earth. But Bogum knew he had to be careful. He can't risk making Taehyung be angry with him.

Bogum followed and waited till Jungkook and Taehyung get separated and he had his chance when Jungkook went to the fit-on the clothes he brought. Bogum slowly made his way towards Taehyung, smiling brightly when Taehyung noticed his presence and looked at him.

"Hello, Taehyung-ssi. Fancy meeting you here."

Taehyung stared at the other for few seconds, before answering in a tight voice. "I'm beginning to wonder whether Jungkook is actually right. You do seem to be stalking us."

"Oh, don't flatter yourself, Taehyung-ssi. I'm just here to shop, just like you."

Taehyung scoffed at that. "Yeah, right. Well, then I suggest you get on with your.. shopping."

Bogum was just about to say some witty response, when he sensed something different about Taehyung. He couldn't exactly pin pout what it is, but bogum sure did had a hunch.

He took few quick steps towards Taehyung and tugged his shirt collar to the side a bit. Taehyung of course could have stopped the other but then decided to let him.

Bogum gasped as his eyes widened like tennis balls. He stumbled back few steps and held on to a rack of clothes for support. "W-what is t-that?"

Taehyung was not a cruel man and he did not take pleasure in another person's despair. Anyway People do weird things when it comes to matters of heart, Taehyung knows that more than anybody. So there wasn't any malice in his voice, when he answered to Bogum's question.

"You know very well what this is, Bogum-ssi."

Bogum opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. He just stood there with an open mouth and widened eyes.

"Oh hell!!"

Both Bogum and Taehyung snapped their heads at that sound to see Jungkook coming out of the dressing room. He had a murderous glare in his eyes as he marched towards Bogum, so Taehyung quickly intercepted his path.

He held Jungkook from his waist and stopped the younger from walking. "Calm down, he's just leaving."

"Hyungie, let me-"

"Koo, just-"

"No!" Taehyung felt a sudden rush of power at those words. "Let go of me!"

Taehyung's hands moved on his own accord and Taehyung was too surprised to stop them. Jungkook noticed the way Taehyung released his hold and when he looked at the elder, both mirrored the same confusion in their eyes.

Jungkook gasped just as his hand was raised to his mouth to block that sound. "O-oh God! H-hyungie, I didn't mean to-"

Taehyung quickly put his palm on Jungkook's cheek and gave a soft smile to the younger. "Shh.. don't worry about it."

Taehyung then looked back at Bogum, who still seem to be standing frozen. "You really should go."

Bogum snapped back to his senses and with one last look of pure hatred, he stormed out of the shop.
