JEON JUNGKOOK

The afternoon we went to go and get my lip pierced was the same night Yoongi informed us of an event we had to attend.

The event was being held by Taehyung's dad, everyone seemed confused to say the least. After seeing how he was to Taehyung that time we went to their house, I'm sure it left a bad impression on everyone.

Yoongi doesn't share any more details, just that we had to go and we had to dress smart. It was next weekend and I was already dreading it. Taehyung and his dad in one space? What a recipe for disaster.

In private Jimin informs me what the real reason was for the need to be at Taehyung's dads function.

"So what Yoongi told me was that Taehyung practically begged him to come to this event, said something about needing support," Jimin explains as he folds over the corner of my book that sits on my bedside table.

"What event is it?" I ask.

Jimin shrugs. "His dad likes throwing these events every so often apparently, Taehyung says he hasn't been to one in ages and said doubling up the pack will put his mind at ease."

I snort. "So he's using us like a pawn for his dad, pretend we're this elite pack when realistically we are average at best."

My eyes look up to meet Jimin's. "Yoongi says he's really caught up about this, you know, he is scared of his dad." Jimin says seriously.

I think that was pretty obvious from what we saw of them before. "You don't say," my voice drips with sarcasm.

"Has anything else happened since that night you were meant to meet?" He questions, his eyes soft and curious.

I shake my head. I ended up telling Jimin about that night because he could read me like a book, he knew I was down and he demanded to know why.

Keeping things from him was impossible because he is the last person to ever judge you, he gives honest advice and he will always be there for you.

"We mindlinked briefly earlier but nothing much, I'm just sick of not knowing where his head was. One minute he's all over me and the next he doesn't wanna be near me." I let out a sigh.

Jimin half smiles at me. "If you need to talk about anything, you know I'm always here."

"I know," I smile gently at him.

. . .

I've never worn a suit in my life, never have I had the chance to be dressed formally.

Yoongi and Jimin took me out to get a tailored suit and I felt beyond guilty. Tailored suits are not cheap, I can tell you that.

I was more than happy to just get a cheap one from some average outlet but they insisted I get something more special. They told me it wouldn't go to waste as they said I could wear it at their wedding which they still haven't got round to.

When I looked at myself in the mirror I couldn't help but feel so grown up. I had always been the baby of the pack and for once I felt more like a man than a boy. My blonde curls were pushed back slightly so that my eyes weren't covered.

I felt good and that made a sense of pride buzz in my body.

The event was being held in a manor across the district. The journey to get there was an hour in the car in which I slept most of the way.

When we reached the location my stomach twisted in anticipation of seeing Taehyung. I'm not sure why I even cared because it wasn't like he'd even bat an eyelid at me with a crowd of people around.

As I step out of the car I instantly adjust my tie and straighten out my shirt. My eyes looked up to the white manor before me, it looked glamorous. Something you'd expect the Kardashians to own.

I follow everyone else up the white stairs and through the front doors. There was a ridiculous amount of people here and it was making me feel anxious, Jimin slows down and keeps by my side. Yoongi walks ahead with Aurora safely in his arms.

Some members of Taehyung's pack greeted us on the way in, yet I failed to see Taehyung or his dad.

"Let's go get a drink," Jimin nods at me.

The sound of Jimin's heels clicking on the floor vibrates in my ears along with the buzz of people talking. We approach a waiter holding a tray of bubbly. Jimin takes one and looks at me.

"Take one," she says.

"I'm not 21," I reply.

Jimin lets out a laugh. "Oh Jungkook please, like any of us would care. It's just a bit of champagne."

I purse my lips as I listen to her speak. I take a champagne flute from the tray and place the glass to my lips. I had never tried alcohol before and I'm not entirely sure what it would taste like. I've had the chance to but I've never actually got round to trying it.

Jimin's eyes study me as I take my first sip, it fizzes in my mouth and it startles me. It tasted strong but crisp and left a burning sensation in my throat.

"Nice?"

My face goes sour as I swallow eventually. "You guys drink this for fun?" I ask as I roll my tongue against the roof of my mouth over and over.

Jimin lets out a laugh and she covers her hand over her lips. "Oh Jungkook, you're so precious."

We move away from the waiter and stand with Lisa, Sophia and Garcy.

"Have you seen him yet?" I hear Garcy whisper to Sophia.

Sophia nods instantly. "He's over there, looking divine as ever."

I look down to the floor the second I realise who they're talking about. Lisa or Jimin aren't paying attention as they're too caught up in their own conversation.

"Oh my God," Garcy breathes out. I raise my eyesight slightly and watch as they look behind me. "Trust me when I say I am going in there tonight. No holding back, if I don't try I'll never know."

Hearing these words leave her mouth spiked an unbelievable amount of jealousy inside my body. I hated the way it made me feel protective of him, like my wolf would fight her for him.

"Who are you talking about?" Lisa chips in.

Garcy lets out a dreamy sigh. "Taehyung,"

I watch out of the corner of my eye Jimin instantly stares Garcy down. "You're not his mate so don't go there," she says bluntly.

I can't help but smile down to my feet.

"Who are you, the fucking mate police?" Garcy replies as she rolls her eyes slightly.

"No but I'm a decent person Garcy, maybe if you spent as much time and effort actually looking for your mate as you do swooning over other wolves, you might actually find him." Jimin shoots back sarcastically.

Garcy's face scrunches up. "Damn who the fuck has crawled up your ass and died, live a little." She says before flicking her hair over her shoulder and strutting away with Sophia.

When I turn around to watch them leave my eyes are already gravitating to Taehyung, his dad standing next to him. His face is as hard as stone, his body rigid and firm. He didn't look welcoming or friendly in the slightest, not that I was surprised.

My eyes scan what he's wearing, my body tingles at the sight of him in a suit. A navy suit at that. God, he was so unbelievably attractive and I couldn't take it.

Then my eyes look at the young girl that stands between them. She was petite and blonde, stunning. She had perfectly plump pink lips and she was dressed in a sleek black floor length dress. When I say she was tiny, she was tiny. I could imagine that she is definitely Taehyung's type.

I watch as Taehyung's dad talks between the two and he actually cracks a smile. The girl doesn't take her eyes off Taehyung once, she looks up to him like a Godlike figure. It looked like he was introducing each other by the way she was batting her eyelids at him.

Taehyung keeps his eyes trained on his dad and after a few moments he steps forward and leaves a kiss on her cheek and hugs her.

If I thought Garcy's words made me jealous, this was a completely different story.

Taehyung's hand rests firmly on the small of her back as he pulls away and they smile at each other. Taehyung's dad pats him on the back before walking away leaving them alone.

I felt sick with envy as I stared at them. Taehyung grins towards her, the look of genuine happiness stretches across his face.

Jimin stands by my side and loops her arm through mine. "Breathe Jungkook,"

So I let out a breath.

My eyes look back down to his hand that is still on her body. When I look back up to his eyes, he glances at me for a split second. I cannot read him but something flashes in his face when he sees me, this disappears the second he looks back to his female.

"I-I can't just stand here and watch this," I mumble. "I'm going outside."

I place my full champagne flute onto a table and just as I'm about to leave Jimin grabs my arm. "Do you need me to come with you?"

I shake my head. "I just need some air,"

"Okay, well you know where I'll be." She says softly as she watches me leave the room and out the back doors.

The cold air hits me instantly and I perch myself down onto a wooden bench, my back facing the manor.

I sat there for a while, drowning in my own thoughts.

Don't overthink this, don't overthink this.

Sighing I run a hand through my hair and rest my elbows down onto the table. How could I not overthink this when my mate is openly standing and flirting with some girl?

"Can I take this?" A voice above me startles me from my thoughts.

My eyes flicker up to the boy that stands next to me. His hazel eyes are smiling at me, his dark brown hair in a similar style to my curls. I just stare at him for a few moments until he clears his throat.

"The glass?" He notions to the cup in front of me. "Can I take it?"

I snap myself back into reality. "Sorry," I say quietly. "Take it, it's not mine."

The waiter nods at me and gingerly picks up the glass from the table.

"Are you having a good night?" He questions politely.

I look back up to him and let out a strained sigh, leaning away from the bench slightly. "Not sure that's how I'd describe it," I admit.

"Oh," the waiter frowns. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—"

I shake my head and force a smile at him. "It's okay,"

"Are you okay?" He asks gently and it stuns me. He leans closer and the smell of his cologne enters my nose, I could tell that he was human.

Blinking up to him a few times I begin to nod. "Yeah just—" I pause for a second. "It's a bit too much for me in there."

His eyes study me and he smiles. He was cute, I had to admit. "My shift finishes in like twenty minutes, you wanna hang out?" He offers confidently.

"Really?" My voice increases in enthusiasm.

"Sure," he smirks. "Guess someone's got to keep you company."

I close my eyes quickly and laugh. "I'm Jungkook," I introduce myself.

"I'm Minjun," he smiles.

Then I watch as he begins to move away from the table and I turn around to look at him walk back into the manor.

My eyes glance over the people standing by the window when my gaze lands on Taehyung's hard eyes. He's staring at me through the glass and he doesn't once take his eyes off me or pretend he wasn't looking, he wanted me to see him looking.

Anger bubbles inside my stomach as I turn my head away and I face the garden instead.

If this was the way to get his attention then I was going to milk it.
