a/b/o (FICTION)

The sound of many cameras clicking and blinding him with their lights are something he gets surprised for even though he has been a model since forever.But the omega smiles, a soft, sweet one as he walks, pulling the leather jacket
Media image

2
closer to him so the collar of the jacket falls infront of him nose so he could sniff the musky scent wafting from it strongly- his mate had scented this particular leather jacket thoroughly just before he left for the airport, making sure his scent would remain even though
3
they wouldn't see each other for two weeks. The omega will miss him but as always he is okay with it because thats how hectic their lives are. He hears whispers as he goes past the reporters, whispers that he used to get scared hearing but even though it scares him a bit still,
4
he is mostly in terms with it, people never actually do find out.

"That style is a bit dark for Kim Taehyung isn't it?"

"The leather jacket is not his style /at/ all"

"Do you think it might be his alpha's?"

"The one he never showed the world?"

Jokes on them, they
5
see his mate everyday, if not every hour because of how much they admire the alpha but well, the connection is never made thus why he doesn't get scared as much anymore. Because Jeon Jungkook and him don't come from the same world- they are from very different worlds
6
actually, no matter how much people keep on guessing who put that mating mark on /the/ Kim Taehyung, the only male Victoria's Secret angel and the highest paid model for years, they would never take Jeon Jungkook's name, they would never take the older, very famous, very
7
scandaled politician's name with him ever because the stretch is too far. And it was better this way because he would never want their relationship to be outed because Jungkook's position is a very sensitive position, his mate would carry a lot of power and he didn't want to
8
be known as the "wh*re* who put a blindfold over Jungkook and neither did the other because Jungkook was hell bend on keeping him safe. Jungkook is known to wear these kind of leather jackets- never been one for the rule like any Jeon before him never was so he wore it too,
9
partly because Jungkook wanted other alphas to leave him alone and partly because despite wanting to be a secret, the omega always wanted to show even these little parts of who he belonged to.

"Who wears leather jackets? Which idol? Taehyung-ssi, is this your mate's, the
10
one you spent last full moon with?"

He just nods and keeps on walking.

"Taehyung-ssi!"

"Taehyung-ssi, who is he?"

"Is he Min Yoongi? The rapper who is known to wear leather jackets?"

He wanted to scoff but he still kept walking.
11
Not noticing that the scent on his jacket might have been too strong for people who knew Jungkook(read: stalked Jungkook) enough to know whose scent that could be.
12
— a/n, this will be a short story kind of thing so let me know by quoting if you guys want it or not

If you want to support my writing:-

— okay so I come with a proposition my darlings, so idk if you guys know this but I already said this before I opened kofi and everything that I haven't yet gotten to buy a BTS album yet due to you know what even though I have stanned them since 2018. Since I have opened up kofi+
14

Its not until he reaches Paris that he hears something that makes him freeze as if ice cold water had been poured on him. He turns to look at his manager slowly, "what did you just say?"

His manager sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, "one of the reporters that was
19
following you at the airport kind of recognized Jungkook-ssi's scent on you and posted an article speculating that Mr. Jeon could be your mate and everyone is all over it- since its the only and if not the most scandalous news out at the moment, its burning like fire even without
20
fuel but the reporter put it on substantial evidence which is basically non existence so HR said they will take it down in no time but what the boss is concerned about is, if the news will die out or not, because you know what kind of news it is...", The manager trails
21
off as he points at in general with his eyes slightly widening, "so you might have to post something provocative later on to shift their attention"

He shakes his head, utterly surprised, "he-he recognized Jungkook's scent from a /jacket/?"
22
"yeah", the manager nods tiredly, "so we are to-"

"No", he snaps all of a sudden, startling the poor beta, "there is no need to even take the article down because its utter nonsense, how can the reporter just make a guess about my and Jungkook's life? There is no reason for
23
the company to react so no need to take it down, let them think its bullsh*t if we don't pay it any attention at all", he says firmly, angered out of his mind that even such a thing would have to be dealt with.

The beta scratches the back of his neck as he looks at him,
24
"Taehyung-ah, you know we wouldn't have if it didn't involve Jungkook-ssi, the HR would never want to get in trouble with his team snd the upcoming elections coming up might make all these things more controversial for him-"

"He is /my/ mate, don't you think I would know?"
25
“I know you would Taehyung but his team wouldn't understand because this does sounds as the beginning of a scandal and they do not want to deal with any conflicts so near to the elections.”

“So what? We are going to give them more fuel to act on? The article being taken down
26
would imply there is something to hide-”

His manager sighs, “Taehyung-ah, let us take care of that. Tell you what, you don’t have to post anything provocative either, just focus on the shoot and we will get it handled. Do not demand anything from Jungkook-ssi either because
27
his team will burn HR’s alive.”

The omega lets out a noise of distress as he shakes his head, “but it's just a jacket”

“You and I know very well why we even need to take care of one single reporter so don’t fret about it too much otherwise you will start getting anxious again.”
28
He does know but knowing sometimes is not always better than not knowing. He hates how he even needs to think about wearing an article of clothing from his mate when it was considered as sacred to wear his alpha’s cloth as a sign of respect and devotion towards his alpha
29
but he also knew the rules of being mated to such a high scale politician- that the basic rights of being a mated omega had to be hidden. But it was fine he guesses, it was what his alpha wanted too. So no matter how sad it made him feel, he would do anything for Jungkook,
30
no questions asked.

He nods slowly and tugs his robe closer to him to go make himself a cup of chamomile tea. The omega sits on the single sofa overlooking the whole of Paris spread out and twinkling in front of him with the steaming cup of tea, wondering how was it that he
31
had actually started to feel bored of this twinkling view. From his position, he could even see a large billboard with his face on it beside on of the perfume’s he advertised for; it was a foreign city but he would bet the city of love had more of his pictures than any other
32
model’s and at one time, it had made him feel so arrogant, had put him on a pedestal but now, it started to feel as if it was just not enough for him.

The twinkling lights, afterall, did not compare to his mate’s eyes. The thousands of eyes on him on a daily basis never
33
could ever compare to the burning red gaze from his mate.

He wanted Jungkook’s eyes on him, always like all these other alphas had their gazes on him. Now, he only wanted Jungkook’s gaze.

His phone rang beside him and he picks it up without looking at the caller, “Hi?”
34

Taehyung closes his eyes, that news did spread like a fire even though it was only one article. “Jiminie, his
35
elections are coming, you know he can’t do that.”

𝘈𝘴*𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦, 𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺, 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥
36
𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦.

His eyes stings but he breathes out and tries to take the tears back so that they don’t ruin the glass skin skincare routine he did just after landing, “you know I can’t do that.”

"𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘛𝘢𝘦, 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘢𝘥𝘢 𝘺𝘢𝘥𝘢. 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶-” there is a pause that makes Taehyung sit up and keep the cup down- “
𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘺𝘦𝘵?”

He shakes his head but then grips his phone tightly
38
as he stands up completely, “I didn't, I-I don’t know how to.”

He can hear his best friend, his only solace right now, click his tongue. The omega’s voice softens then, “𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘪𝘮, 𝘛𝘢𝘦.”
39
He gives a series of nods as he smiles slowly, glad that the omega is trusting him, “I promise”

Taehyung shakes his head as he sits back down, “we just met before my flight, Jiminie”

“𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘔𝘪𝘯 𝘠𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘪 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”
41
“Yeah”, he says, biting his lips, “see you then.”

“𝘚𝘦𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶.”

He cuts the call and puts it away, resuming staring at the skyscrapers. His phone remained silent for the rest of the day.

“Taehyung-ah, your health has been getting worser, are you sure we shouldn’t go to the doctor?”

He shakes his head, his eyes shut closed tightly as he stands in front of the toilet bowl, heaving tirelessly once every few seconds, “its normal before my heat, hyung.”
43
His manager has his face pinched in worry, “does Jungkook-ssi know about this?”

“Have you seen him calling me in the last 24 hours?”, he retorts, his heart twisting painfully even as he says the words. The manager shakes his head, “what can I do then?”
44
“Nothing”, he says as he breathes out, finally, and goes to brush his teeth, “I saw the article was taken down and it caused an uproar.”

The beta shrugs. “Jungkook-ssi’s team will take care of it. I am actually more worried about them starting to dig your past out to see any
45
connection between Jungkook-ssi and you.”

“Yeah well, they are not going to find Jungkook anywhere in it.”

The beta tilts his head, “yeah but they might find your exes…”,he trails of as the omega’s eyes widen suddenly, a bit of fear seeping in, “and I know Jungkook-ssi
46
doesn’t know about them or one so I would rather avoid them digging into our past.”

He shakes slightly, and tries to smile, “Jungkook is really busy, I doubt he will look at fan discourse about my things.”
47
“But he is going to want to check your cover shoots, you know that, he will want to monitor if you are showing too much of your skin and then he might see something-”

“I am a /Victoria’s Secret/ model, of course I will show my skin, he knows that and I told him not to go
48
searching-”

“Send him your pictures before he does then, he only does that because you try to hide them from him”

“Don’t put me as the villain here, it's because he made me feel like I can’t send these to him.”

His manager shakes his head, “yeah but he also
49
supports all your shoots.”

“Sending me a bouquet of tiger lilies to my shoots doesn't count when he never visits.”

The beta shakes his head, “you know he can’t do that and honestly we are not discussing this together, you need to discuss this with Jungkook-ssi but what I do
50
know is he just wants to see your shoot pictures, just send him them this time and keep him away from your fandom.”

He nods, looking up and closing his eyes as they glow blue- he is praying to their moon goddess so that Jungkook never finds out about his exes- or ex
51
in this case, no matter what goes to hell. Because this was the only thing he needed Jungkook to be away from and he wanted to keep it that way.

He finishes brushing and gets out of the bathroom as if nothing happened.
52
_

Jeon Jungkook is standing for the head alpha position this time. Though a lot of wolves considered him as really young- being only thirty- he thinks he is in the right position to take over their pack and be able to rule it seamlessly,
53
in a better way. He doesn’t like the now head alpha because of certain rules he has imposed but he also knows he has to suck up to him simple because he was the current head alpha.

So he was here, overseas, in a meeting with him and another pack leader to discuss the treaty
54
they wanted to form. The elder pack leader, Kim Jongsun, coughs slightly as he smiles at the other head alpha, “I think our future leader is already determined, Baekhyun-ssi, there is no need to worry if it will continue on after the leader changes.”
55
Jook Baekhyun is a an older alpha too- someone who has gone way past his retirement age, reluctant to leave the position as he had no alpha heirs to take over- their pack was led in a dictatorship way and Jungkook’s pack needed their support because of how rampant this
56
specific head alpha could be. Jungkook leans back and crosses his leg over the other, “And you have my word it shall.”

The other leader raises an eyebrow, “If you don’t mind, Jungkook-ssi, your pack is in the hands of the mere wolves, a democratic /parliament/, what makes you
57
confident, they will choose you as the leader?”

Jungkook’s jaw ticks as he gives him a thin lipped smile, “that is right but then we would have to rely on statistics and statistics rely more towards”, he pauses, briefly looking at their head alpha to see him nodding his head
58
slightly, “me and that is enough for you right?”

Baekhyun-ssi’s eyes narrow, “the other candidate isn’t so fond of me, Jongsun-ssi, Jungkook-ssi, if he does become the leader, I might have to go back on my words because I don’t really prefer having any loose ends.”
59
An underlying threat; but that is very common in their positions.

His smile is icily polite, “then we shall ensure, /together/, that I will then.”

The other head alpha smirks, “now you are talking on my terms. Jungkook-ssi, tea?”

After the meeting finishes, Jongsuk speaks up
60
just as they are about to part to their own cars, “Jungkook”, he calls out.

The younger alpha straightens his spine and turns to look with a stoic but clear face. Jongsul smacks his lips together, “there are rumors going about you my team informed me and you should know that
61
rumors just a month before the election isn’t a good show. I am sure you will take care of them, but I would suggest you take care of the person who caused the rumor too.’’

Jungook stills and his alpha is forcing inside him to just come out and tear this alpha to pieces,
62
he feels red hot rage at the implication, he would so want to kil! this alpha right this instant but he has the same icy smirk in place, “I will, should I walk you to your car?”

He holds his hands up, “it's okay. See you back in the pack”
63
With that the elder alpha turns while Jungkook watches him go, thinking of the time that once he does win this election, he would reduce this same alpha to nothing just for saying sh*t about his mate; a mate the elder alpha knew about.

He gets in the car and closes his eyes as
64
his driver starts driving, many different black sedan following him at the front and at the back.

A flash of a memory playing behind his eyelids:

His mother is there and it's his wedding day. He is the same as he is now, if only a bit less crazed about being the head alpha
65
A flash of a memory playing behind his eyelids:

His mother is there and it's his wedding day. He is the same as he is now, if only a bit less crazed about being the head alpha he wasn’t as near becoming one as he is now, he was only 28. His alpha mother is looking at him with
66
the doe eyes he got from her as she smiles down at him and kisses his forehead, “I need you to promise me something, Jungkook-ah”

He tries not to frown, “I love Taehyung, I know I am making the right choice, I already mated him-”
67
“It's not about you, Jungkook, it's about him. Your father di*d trying to become the head alpha of this pack and left me mateless, I just don’t want Taehyung to end up the same as me, he is so young.”

Taehyung was only 22 then.

“Ma-”
68
“Your father made mistakes yes, but he also went to become the head alpha when he was way over his thirties, you are just in your twenties. We had a son, you don’t have anyone to leave behind except a really young widower, so please, keep yourself alive. Become ruthless,
69
become the corrupted leader you have to but do not, I beg, leave Taehyung mateless, because I know how it feels”, his mother tears up, “and I only survived because I am an alpha, he is a pureblood omega, the chances of him surviving are slim, so I beg-”
70
“Ma! No, it won’t come to that, i won’t let it and you know corruption is not something I want, I wouldn’t be able to face /him/, face my future pups-”

“Then become ruthless”, her eyes reddens, “kil! anyone who tries to do you bad, but always make sure you keep your
71
responsibility as his alpha at the very front of your mind.”

His own eyes redden as he nods, “I promise.”
Her eye color dissolves to her normal eyes, “now go marry him.”

He blinks as he looks up to find the car still driving; he tried, he tried so hard, he has been trying so
72
hard but he can finally claim him after he becomes the head alpha, a month later. He picks up the phone to give him a call, he can see himself in the camera, looking angry so he schools his face when his mate’s face pops on the screen and his decreases to a small box in the
73
corner of the screen.

He stares. Taehyung is putting on his blush as he put his phone on the tile beside the basin so the omega could face the camera and see him at the same time. “A party tonight?”, he asks softly.

The omega hums, “how was your meeting?”

Jungkook gives him
74
a wry smile, “he promised to kil! my enemy for me.”

Taehyung puts the brush down to look at him disapprovingly, he just shrugs, “were you worried? About the article?”

The omega picks up another brush to dab at his eyebrows, “no”
75
“Baby”, he says, “I am not going to stop you from wearing my scent still.”

Taehyung’s eyes widen slightly but he tries to mask the surprise, “y-you aren’t?”

“No”, he shakes his head, “I rid everything from you that you should get as my mate, my scent I can’t”
76
“That’s right”, then he looks down at him with wide, innocent eyes that Jungkook knows he is going to use to demand something he knows he can’t have, “will you come to Paris tonight?”

Jungkook breathes out, he knew he would ask something like this, something he can’t give,
77
especially now, “Baby, wait just for a month?”

The omega is quick to nod, “I know, I know, with the jacket thing if you got caught coming to Paris, it would be declaring everything.”

“Tae, baby, don’t be like that.”

“I won’t be,”Tae says with a sour face- an expression
78
Jungkook just /hates/ on his mate, “if you let me join your campaign.”

It has been something the omega has been wanting to do since forever because he himself was a famous person, if he could get his mate the votes than it would work out on both their favor and it would let
79
Taehyung cater to his husband for once but Jungkook has been saying ‘no’s’ from then and it just always pis*ed the omega off0- not in a bursting way, no, but in the meek, sad way that Jungkook hated more, “Baby..”

“Please, Jungkookie, please? I promise to bring you loads of
80
vote”

Jungkook wants to hold his face in his hand then but he can't so he just grips the phone tightly, “my love, you know the risk, people will not wait to-”

“No”, the omega shakes his head, “let’s not talk about this now. Do you want to see my shoot pictures?”
81
Jungkook goes to sigh but then pauses, registering what he just said, “you want me to see them?”, he asks with an irk of his eyebrow. It makes the omega blush violently as he nods, “but you have to promise not to be an as*hole if you think I showed too much skin.”
82
The alpha holds one of his hand up, “come on, why can’t I complain about other alphas getting to see what’s mine”

Taehyung wants that too, he wants only Jungkook to look at him too but he can’t give up just yet when Jungkook is the way he is. “Alpha, no-”
83
“Fine, I promise I won’t”

Taehyung bites back a smile, “will send them as soon-”, he starts feeling queasy then.

and holds his mouth as he goes to surge forward, towards Jungkook but nothing happens except the alpha's eyes widening in panic, he tries to reassure
84
tw//v*miting

but then he actually does hurl on the basin, he is so used to it that it doesn't even affect him but he blinks, because Jungkook had seen that, dear lord, the time he had managed to hide this and now everything goes to hell.
85
_

“I didn’t get any calls from the HR so that means we are in the clear, you should have told Jungkook-ssi about your health before, Taehyung-ah”, his beta manager says as he leads him through the airport business class lounge. The omega doesn’t say anything as he just tilts
86
the versace sunglasses upper on his nose so it fits perfectly on top of his eyes- the flashes from the camera will surely blind him so late at night. He was sleepy so he would prefer not to ruin that. “Hyung, is he coming to pick me up?”

The beta nods, amused, “I thought you
87
told him it was because of your heat?”

He rolls his eyes and pulls the jacket that started all the chaos in the whole of their pack tightly against him- it has only been a week and a half but his mate’s scent on it is already faint. The omega knows it's not ideal, wearing it
88
right now but he took a red-eye flight to get here as soon as Jungkook demanded him and his whole team to; the alpha had panicked when he saw him hurling so he himself came back to their pack with the earliest flight and had caused a ruckus with Taehyung’s team to get him
89
back too- all because he was worried about him, all because he thought the omega wasn’t taking care of himself.

“I didn’t get to, he wasn’t having it. It is!” He whines lightly and his manager leads him through another exit where he knows the reporters aren’t supposed
90
to be- they weren’t supposed to be at the main entrance either at this time because he never informed he was coming back plus it was really late at night. He straightens his mask; careful now.

When they step outside, he sees him: Jeon Jungkook standing in the dark, leaning
91
against his car while his bodyguards stand meters away from him. The omega can’t see if he smiles because of his mask and hoodie but he straightens up when he sees him and waits as the omega runs to him to cup his hands around Taehyung’s small waist and lifts him up ever so
92
slightly, breathing the omega’s tiger lily’s scent mixed with the alpha's musky scent in, “Jungkookie”

“Baby”, the alpha says, pressing a kiss on his cheeks and nose over their masks, “I missed you.”

Taehyung hugs him tighter, pushing into the alpha’s chest more, “and I you.”
93
“You aren’t wearing your scent blockers, Tae,” the alpha pauses making the omega pause all of a sudden but then. “Does my scent make you feel safe?”

“Yeah”, he nods meekly, “you know that.”

“Sir, I think you should get in before anyone recognizes you”, a bodyguard of
94
Jungkook’s says. Jungkook parts from him to shake his manager’s hand, “thank you for looking after him, as always. One of my guards will drop you, have a goodnight Hyungwoo.”

“Bye hyung”, he says too, leaning his head against Jungkook’s shoulder as the alpha opens the passenger
95
side of the door for him. His manager bids them adieu as Jungkook gets in and starts driving, swiftly pulling away from the parking lot and accelerating as a car ails him from behind. He carries his bag inside- the alpha looks tired too, donned in a black hoodie and black
96
heavily ripped jeans but he also follows him inside dutifully. They don't even make it to their bedroom from how exhausted they are so when Tae leans against the alpha to sniff him, they sit in the couch and fall asleep there, unable to even function as they both had a long day.
97
The next morning, Taehyung wakes up on his bed, wrapped up in pillows and their blankets, he sits up groggily when he doesn’t find his mate beside him. His clothes were changed as he is wearing his silk inner dress right now. He gets up with a yawn and wraps the robe around
98
himself to go wash himself before outside. There are already many wolves in the living room- the whole of Jungkook’s inner team is here as they all sit and type away in their laptops as the alpha is talking on the phone while an omega is tying his tie for him.

He purses his
99
lips when he sees the omega stylist- he didn’t really like it when any other omega touched his mate like that, he hated it but he also knows its childish of him and the elder alpha will be sure to not like it, so he never told him that his skin burned underneath every time
100
another omega touched what was his.

Feeling brave, he walks up to him and shoo’s the omega away with a flick of his hand as he stands in her place to tie his husband’s tie, Jungkook smiles when he sees him and kisses him on the corner of his lips as he resumes talking on the
101
phone. He is disheveled- he didn’t even change his clothes but his mate is looking at him with adoration even though he is not speaking to him.

He ties it up and waits as the alpha’s hands come to rest on his hips, for Jungkook to keep his phone which he eventually does after
102
sometime, “good morning baby.”

“Good morning”, he says back, looking at the alpha with wide eyes.

“I already made Hyunwoo set up a doctor’s appointment for you-”

“There is no need, Jungkookie, I am here with you now and I am fine.” The alpha brushes the dip under his eyes
103
with the pads of his thumbs as he looks at him worriedly, “but still. I am worried I won’t be able to take care of you because I am so busy.”

Just then, a member from his team calls him, “Sir, the meeting with the board of directors from this company will start in a few,
104
setting up everything is over, we need to check your microphone.”

Jungkook looks at him with an apologetic look as he just shakes his head to appease him. He kisses him by cupping his face, “go to the appointment and rest, baby, I will see you later.”
105
The later didn’t come until it's after midnight and Taehyung had been too tired to stay awake for the alpha to come so he had fallen asleep but Jungkook still hugged him from behind as he shifted in his sleep to put his head on his chest and slept again, only to find the alpha
106
gone the next morning. Though the alpha was here after his doctor’s appointment, waiting for him in their mansion like house with his legs crossed over the another. He smile at him brightly still and goes to sit on the alpha’s lap.
107
“What did the doctor say, Tae?”

He bites his tongue as he looks at him, this would be the second and the last lie he would ever tell his husband, he promises himself as he clears his throat, a bit hesitant. “It’s just my heat.”

The alpha doesn’t look like he believes him fully
108
but he gives him the benefit of the doubt as he nods and goes to kiss him then the omega starts talking about any and everything to distract the alpha and to let him know about everything that happened because they didn’t quite get the time to, the alpha listens as he hums and
109
kisses him from time to time, looking outside when Taehyung rests his head on his shoulder and continues speaking animatedly.

It was then that they had Jimin coming in with a box of pastries and a set of narrowed eyes when Jungkook wasn’t looking.
110
“Hey Tae, your pictures were so good”,Jimin says in the leeway of greeting. Tae chuckles as he shifts in Jungkook’s lap. Jungkook pats his as* lightly, “He looked beautiful in them.”

Jimin stills, looking at Jungkook incredulously, “how would you know? Did you go snooping on
111
twitter again?”

Jungkook rolls his eyes but he doesn't take any offence because he knows Tae and Jimin's relationship and knows there are no secrets and respects it, “Taehyung sent them to me this time.”

Jimin just narrows his eyes as his bestfriend avoids his gaze to look at
112
Jungkook, “with the promise that he wouldn’t complain.”

“And I didn’t”

Jimin sighs before he bites his lips and sits in front of them, “I wanted to tell you before you disappear again, as much as I don’t like you, I actually want you to win the election, is there
113
anything I can do?”

They both pause to look at him, Taehyung with surprise and Jungkook with a raised eyebrow before the elder clears his throat, “No, an idol shouldn’t get involved in politics either.”

It’s no shock but it still manages to anger Jimin as his senses fill up
114
with anger, does Jungkook always have to act like that? Like the entitled guy who always knows how much power he holds?

It's like, to him, Taehyung and Jimin are mere pups he needs to protect; if you put it in the archaic way, Jimin would say he acts like he is the man of the
115
house and they need to listen to everything he says because he is the alpha and them omegas. Its why he doesn’t like Jungkook because the elder always tries to control his bestfriends life in every aspect, to the point that even Taehyung’s emotion goes up and down depending
116
on their relationship. He knows its not that bad and it is reciprocated because Jungkook loves him a lot too but he just wishes the elder wouldn't just hide their relationship- something that pains Tae- for his /politics/.

“That should be my decision to make”, he says,
117
gritting his teeth, “I have lots of fans and they can vote-”

“I know”, the elder insists and even though he is saying it quietly, it sounds condescending to him- why does he act like his father?- “and I really appreciate the thought but politics is where laws and real danger
118
is involved, I wouldn’t want you to get involved in danger just like I wouldn’t want Taehyung to get involved.”

Jimin just sighs, all his anger flying out as he slumps back, tired, this alpha was so thickheaded, dear luna, “I need a drink.”

“Jiminie, just listen to him will
119
you?”

“Fine”, he snarls but he is no less angry with him. He doesn’t really like Jungkook because he thinks the elder is a bit too strung up, a bit too backdated- like the kind who is very controlling and only takes his own opinion into account but his relationship with
120
Jungkook was like that of ‘I hate you but I hope you don’t di* because my soulmate would di* with you too’-and even though he didn’t really like nor could he handle listening to him, he still got worried for the older- still got worried for his best friends family because
121
he knows Taehyung wouldn't survive if something were to ever happen to Jungkook and he knows the omega wants Jungkook to just let go off politics because he is scared he might end up like his father but Jungkook is too stubborn to leave.

He needs to become the head alpha.
122
There is nothing that would change that.

Jungkook just blinks, “I think I need a drink too.”

Sometime later, a maid brings them a bottle of whiskey, a bowl of ice and glasses. Jimin pours them drinks and eyes Taehyung as he hands him his glass. The omega gives him a tight
123
smile as he leans back onto the alpha’s chest with the alpha’s hand around him as he takes a drink with the other one.

He sees the exact moment when Taehyung needs to go to the washroom so he ropes Jungkook into a heavy discussion about their current head alpha so the alpha
124
doesn’t notice his mate’s face twisting weirdly. “I am gonna be back, I think I need to take a shower”, Taehyung says and Jungkook just looks at his back briefly till the omega disappears into their room, “didn’t his scent look a bit off to you?”
125
Jimin shakes his head as he swirls his drink, “so this meeting..”

They had a heated discussion for about an hour and since the omega didn’t come yet, the conversation veered towards any and everything, including Jimin getting slightly buzzed out and ranting about his crush on
126
Min Yoongi to Jungkook. The elder listens and he must have gotten more drunk then Jimin because then his eyes are reddening, “Min Yoongi…”, he says slowly as Jimin cuts himself off, thinking the alpha might have said something before, “What?”
127
The alpha’s gaze is completely red now even though the red is flickering hazily, he leans back and spreads his legs- now he looks like the epitome of someone so powerful that it makes Jimin pause his thoughts. He was wearing a white button down shirt with the sleeves pulls
128
upto his elbows, two buttons at the top popped open and some of his hair strands falling over his forehead made him look like how an head alpha should look, exuding so much power and something else, something Jimin couldn’t pinpoint just yet.
129
“You have a crush on Min Yoongi you say?”

Jimin involuntarily straightens up as he nods. Sh*t, was he actually getting nervous around Jungkook?

The alpha narrows his eyes as his eyes harden, making him think if he hated Yoongi or not, “what do you omegas have for alphas like
130
him?”

Jimin shakes his head from confusion, looking away because Jungkook looked downright scary just then as his jaw tightened and fist tightened around the glass that looked like it was about to break, “w-what?”

It's just Jungkook, for Luna's sake, why- he was going to be
131
the head alpha too so him getting slightly scared was justified he guesses.

“I mean, he likes someone else, I was asking what you omegas have for an alpha who likes someone else.” Jungkook pauses as Jimin turns to look at him sharply, suddenly feeling sober.

“H-he does? Who?”
132
“My omega”, Jungkook says, whispers it like its a dirty secret, making something crack inside Jimin because it looks like a bad dream as he has already doubted that before and if Jungkook noticed it then he wasn’t wrong.

Jimin stutters, he tries because he couldn’t
133
mean- “he is his friend, of course he likes him-”

“Nah, he wanted him as his omega”, the alpha gives him a smirk, “and you wanna know a secret?”

He gets pale, Jungkook has always been a tad too jealous but then how did he know whatever the alpha was going to say next stemmed
134
from his jealousy, he asks himself, did he notice something unconsciously too?

“I think my omega likes him like that a bit too, you know?”,Jungkook pauses but then the alpha continues, “or I think so at least because it doesn’t make sense to keep someone who wants you as his
135
mate so near you, does it? Tell me, you are an omega too, why would you just give in to your alpha bestfriend whims if you didn’t want him as a mate too?”

The omega shakes his head, “he only hangs out with him. Jungkook, you are drunk.”

The alpha shrugs, “I got my omega and
136
he is going to stay right beside me, I know but you have some things to go over don’t you?”

Jimin can’t breath because his feelings for Yoongi had grown steadily from the time he met him and Tae never told him about this and they never hid anything from each other,
137
why didn’t he tell him then?

“Tell you what, I will owe you one if you manage to take Min Yoongi away from my omega-”

“Jungkook”, Taehyung says and the omega’s eyes are narrowed and sharp as he stands there with a cold look, Jimin’s heart stutters at that- from what he
138
doesn’t know- but he just stares as Taehyung comes to stand in front of his alpha with hands on his waist. Cold anger radiating off of him. The alpha looks up innocently enough and gives him a bunny toothed smile, “hey baby”
139
Tae just sighs as the alpha hugs his waist, pushing his nose onto the dip of his hip as he puts a kiss there. the omega is so soft for him still that just irks Jimin like always. Taehyung doesn’t look at his best friend as he
140
says, “Yoongi hyung doesn’’t like me, Jiminie, Jungkook is just drunk.”

He wishes he could believe that without feeling a sliver of doubt but he still nods, “I know Tae.”

But do they really?

oh Jungkook.
141
_

Seokjin’s lips shine as he purses them and crosses his legs, putting his elbows on the arm rest of the chair he is sitting on, “it was only time.”

Taehyung sighs as he flips a page of the magazine cover he is trying to read; Elle Korea was outdoing themselves this season,
142
“but that doesn’t mean he would just go and tell Jiminie that, what is he going to think?”

“You let him mate you.”

“Because I love him and only him but it doesn't mean he is any less irritating.”
143
Seokjin huffs out a snort, “but he wasn’t wrong, at least he didn’t tell him the whole thing.”

Taehyung goes silent as he just flips the magazine and pauses at a spread where he sees his mate photographed in a black and white photoshoot with the title, ‘will Jeon Jungkook be
144
our next head alpha?’ He stares as his finger caresses his face and his hair and his suit. His finger is still on his mate’s photo as he reads the paragraph.

Seokjin raises an eyebrow, “when we are talking, you should respect your elders, Taehyung, especially
145
when you are talking to your boss.”

The younger omega hums, his eyes and attention never straying away from the paragraph but Seokjin takes it negatively as his eyes widen a bit, “you didn’t tell him yet did you?”

“Hmm?”, he asks; the article was very very insistent about
146
why Jungkook should be their next head alpha and only states on the pros and they are not wrong at all, they even talk about how handsome he is, how he is the most wanted supposed ‘bachelor’ of South Korea. When he reads that line, he pauses reading as he takes in a
147
heavy breath because reading that hideous word getting associated with Jungkook never ever gets better.

It fills his nerves with this anger that just fires up his rage in the worst way possible.

He gets jealous, so jealous because he doesn’t like omegas thinking they
148
have a chance with Jungkook, he doesn’t like it when they thirst over him because he is only his, and has been his since forever- at least he considers that even though they technically have been together for three years.

His eyes flicker blue and he only snaps out of it when
149
Seokjin flicks his fingers. The younger omega looks up, “did you say something?”

Seokjin sighs, “yeah, you didn’t tell Jungkook about Yoongi I am assuming?”

His eyes widen a bit as he shakes his head adamantly, “no, no, I would rather never have him find that out.”
150
“I know, I am your boss but,” Seokjin is his boss, an omega who inherited the company from his father, or at least the fashion and the entertainment side of the Kim industries and he has been working under him since the start so he is more his hyung than his boss, which
151
is why he knows about every aspect of his life so he just nods, “don’t you think Min Yoongi is a part of your life that Jungkook, as your mate, should know about?”

Tae shakes his head again, looking down at his mate. He caresses the photo again, “no, he can’t know because
152
he will flip.”

“Tae, he was your ex, your /only/ ex before Jungkook. And he is still a close friend of yours who we both know is clearly not over you, your mate has to know.”

“He doesn’t like Yoongi /at all/-”

“Because Yoongi likes you!”

“Thats what you know, he /thinks/
153
that-”

“That means he can clearly read in between the lines. Taehyung, if you do not want your relationship to get into trouble, just tell him. It's already been three years you have been hanging out with Yoongi without telling your mate who he really is to you,
154
he will find out.”

“He won’t” the omega says stubbornly, he can’t let Jungkook know, he can’t tell Jungkook because the alpha would go batsh*t crazy if he does. He would think he betrayed him or something and he is so scared he is going to leave him that he would rather
155
just hide this little detail.

For some reason, his mate even think he likes Yoongi, and he is already doesn’t trust him like he used to because of the little thing the omega hid from him, like his shoots, he is definitely going to think the omega broke his trust completely
156
if he gets to know this, its better if he doesn’t know and its in the past anyways.

He just shakes his head as Seokjin palms his face. The older omega knows if he himself were to hide something like this from his alpha, his alpha would not take it very well.
157
And Namjoon is just a rapper who is younger than him and also works under him, he wouldn't be able to come at Seokjin but when it came to Taehyung alpha, Jeon Jungkook, it would be so much more harsher because Jungkook was older
158
than Taehyung. He had more pride and he was a politician who is set to run for the head alpha election. He would not take this lightly and he just doesn't want Taehyung, who is so weak when it came to his mate, to break because its not going to be nice.
159
"you have a shoot at 7 today, don't forget to take a writer with you."

Taehyung nods slowly before getting up, "thank you for understanding hyung"

The older shakes his head, "ultimately its between you and Jungkook-ssi, I was just suggesting because I care about you."
160
The omega nods, "I know hyung, I promise I will think about it"

"as long as you are happy."

He nods again, "can I take this magazine with me?"

"didn't Elle send you this month's edition?" he asks, amused, he has an inkling why Taehyung wants it actually.
161
The omega flusters, "yeah but Jungkook-"

"He is in the magazine?" Jin asks with a huge smile now at how the omega looks shy even though they have been mated for more than two years. He has been taking every single magazine
162
he finds Jungkook's anything on since he started working here so Seokjin is familiar with this habit of his. "Its yours then, he is your mate anyways."

The omega smiles brightly at him and comes around to hug him, "see you later hyung."

"bye."
163
_

Taehyung is fifteen when he joins the agency, the Kims, and he is a bright faced- hot blooded omega who would stop at nothing to achieve what he wants with his alpha boyfriend beside him.

They met when Taehyung was in middle school and from then on hit it off with
164
Yoongi starting to court him soon after. It has been his dream ever since he was little to flaunt around in pretty clothes, he has liked attention on himself since he could remember and with his parents encouraging him with everything, they only catered to increases his
165
confidence in himself; something he needed to be able to show of his beautiful body to the world.

First thing first for his personality, he liked attention, some might even call him an attention seeker but he didn’t mind because he knew he had to be one to be successful,
166
he knew he had to want everyone’s attention always on himself to become famous, to get to wear pretty clothes and jewelries.

And because he was chosen by a company who was led by an omega, he didn’t face much of a discrimination but he had to suffer from the lack of money
167
and anxiety from not getting the attention- therefore not getting the deals he wanted, not getting the money to even pay for one small plastic wardrobe fo the room the agency let the rookie models stay in together.

He struggled so much that he doesn't even want to remember
168
that time but he also did not have to face alphas coming at him, trying to make him sell his body, no he didn't because of his boss and his boyfriend. So he considers himself lucky in one way.

It was then too when he first got to know about Jeon Jungkook.

He is fifteen and
169
he was already been courted by Yoongi, an alpha just two years older than him, for a year. Jungkook was 21 then and he had just graduated fresh out of college and the media was raving about him- because he was some de*d politician’s son and he was noticeable- getting
170
out small articles about him and how he aspires to become a politician like his father too.

That time, the articles were so small and only one or two in a month could be found in the newspapers- the magazine being far away- but Taehyung had seen him in the newspaper once
171
while he was waiting for Yoongi’s training to finish and a little crush started to develop.

It was nothing at first, anyone gets a crush or takes a liking to handsome alphas they see in the newspaper. It usually meant nothing and to Taehyung too, Jungkook was just
172
an older guy he thought was hot and someone who looked like he would do great in his life.

However, as the years started to go by, more and more articles started to surface- by then everyone in their agency, everyone who worked in the agency, knew about Taehyung’s
173
fascination towards Jungkook so they always lets him have all the newspapers he could have so he take them home and cut out the pictures to put in his scrapbook or wall.

Yoongi knew too but he could only shake his head and support his lover because it was just a celebrity
174
crush right?

As more articles started to surface, Taehyung got more and more interested in Jungkook- the older becoming his means to escape the struggle he was going through then, till he wanted to find out everything about the older, powerful alpha who looked devilishly
175
handsome in everything he wears, everything he does for the public. The omega watched Jungkook grow into the fierce politician he was.

But it was still just a crush because he didn't really know him did he?

Then Taehyung's career took of when he was 18.
176
He met Jungkook once when he was 18 since the elder was invited to this party their company was holding. And he was mesmerized.

The alpha was exactly how an alpha should be, an alpha who every alpha should look up to and aspire to be like. He was like the brightest star
177
among all of them when ironically he actually wasn’t a star, especially not when one counts the amount of famous people in the room, including himself and his boyfriend.

His eyes look so good as he talks with everyone, while maintaining a certain boundary around himself that
178
just made him hotter since he could yield everyone away from him with just a glance and still appear amicable.

He is wearing a charcoal black suit with the first two buttons popped open and has a hand in his pocket whilst his other hand clutches a glass of strong whiskey in
179
his hand. He is nodding and even his nod looked so toned and balanced- he was an alpha of great virtue. And Taehyung was staring as he stood in a corner- for the first time staying away from everyone and not talking as he couldn't bring himself to take his eyes away from him.
180
The omega is sure Yoongi must be looking for him because he told him he was going to go bring a drink but he never went back; he just wanted to muster up the courage to go talk to Jeon Jungkook by himself.

Would he even talk to him?
181
Since he wasn’t really involved with politics?

He gulps as he watches the alpha. He really wants to talk to him. At least once, he doesn’t know when he will meet him ever again.

Then, as if by miracle, there came a time when there was a lull in the people coming to
182
Jungkook and the alpha was left alone, taking a drink by himself. The omega breathes in and check if his scent is rid of any sweetness- because it would be embarrassing to show the alpha that he is excited to meet him- he controls it.

Then goes towards the alpha.
183
The omega watches the exact moment the alpha’s eyes catch him coming and sees his eyes slightly widening before he masks it with his go to friendly face. He speaks up first, “Jeon Jungkook-ssi, I am a huge fan.”

Jungkook looks devilishly handsome as
184
he irks an eyebrow, “I can’t say I am not honored to hear that from the only male omega model to bag a Victoria’s Secret contract as soon as his career started, thank you”, he says kindly. It makes the omega’s heart stutter, Jeon Jungkook knows who he is? Oh my Luna.
185
He cools his heart down to gather up a small laugh, blushing violently, “th-thank you, you are too kind, alpha.”

Jungkook’s eyes reddens slightly as he swirls the alcohol in his glass as the omega gasps lightly, he wasn't supposed to call him alpha, this was not allowed, an
186
omega was only supposed to call their own alpha as ‘alpha’, it's considered as such an intimate nickname.

He blinks rapidly, “I-I am so sorry, alpha- I mean Jungkook-ssi, I w-wasn’t coming onto you or any of that weird sort, I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to”, he is ranting he
187
knows, he is ranting so bad and its so embarrassing, he feels it in the way his face and scent flushes more.

The alpha for his benefit just shakes his head casually, “it's okay, Taehyung-ssi”- he knows his /name/? But it wasn’t okay, he didn’t want Jungkook, an alpha he has
188
been crushing on for years, his celebrity crush to think that he was a pervert, luna no so he panics again and stutters, “I-Its just you are just so handsome”, he whispers lightly, earnestly, “and I just admire you so much.”

Jungkook bites his lips as a smile involuntarily
189
makes its way on his lips, “I don’t have anything to admire except my speeches so don’t you think you should focus more on say, Min Yoongi, the rising rapper of the industry you belong in?”

Min Yoongi is his boyfriend though that's not public information and he thinks
190
Jeon Jungkook still deserves being admired more than anyone. He makes a small sound at the back of his throat, “I don’t think so. Even though you haven’t become anything important, you are still someone to be admired highly because
191
you are just so powerful and the way you carry yourself is just-” he cuts himself off, was he coming off as too obsessed with the alpha?

The alpha takes a sip from his drink, “very well then, Taehyung-ssi”, the alpha pauses when one of his manager come to him to whisper
192
something while the omega just watches. Jungkook nods at him and looks apologetically at the omega, “Taehyung-ssi, I believe I have to cut our conversation short, it seems I have duties to fulfill. See you.”
193
With that, the omega watches with wide eyes as the alpha leaves, more star struck then ever because wasn’t Jeon Jungkook just awesome?

He doesn't meet him again until he is 21. This time he is so much more attuned with himself, this time he also doesn't have a boyfriend.
194
Because their relationship went to naught with the amount of time they were spending away from each other.

He loved Yoongi, he was his first love after all and one never forgets his first love do they? He has been dating him since he could remember but the more famous
195
they got, the more toll it took on them. By that time, their relationship was made public and keeping up with everything was just so tiring.

Their breakup was a mutual one though because they loved each other still. Just the time they spent with each other was so scarce
196
that even keeping up with each other like boyfriends felt like a burden to them. So they decided they were better off without being in a relationship so as Taehyung turns 21, they break up.

Publicly too.

At that time, seeing Jungkook being the politician he was, and
197
supporting him, listening to his talks, had kept him sane, grounded to reality so it doesn't come as a shock to him when he sought out the said alpha as soon as he spotted him in the party.
198
- now, we enter a bit of a grey area which will be explored further down the line, but let me know your thoughts till now, see you in next update the day after tomorrow ♥

"It was an arranged relationship yes?" Jungkook asks.

He paused, his mind going a mile a minute, "y-yes, yes it was. A company play if you will, for publicity."

Jungkook smirks lightly, raising an eyebrow, "hard to believe a butterfly like you would be single all his life."
200
He laughs breathily and hopes the alpha does not get it and maybe all the people who complimented on his charm had been correct because he was.

"Yeah, you can say that", he bats his eyelashes. Jungkook watches him as he takes a sip.
201
Taehyung smiles back, a tad bit too sultrily as he veers the conversation away.



"Hey, when will you come home?" Taehyung asks as he looks at Jungkook through his phone. The alpha stares at him, looks all over his face, "are you home, baby?"
202
Taehyung shakes his head. "I am still at the shoot."

Jungkook glances at his neck then. "I wish you would wear a scarf. Your neck.." he trails off. Taehyung purses his lips as he pulls his collars up; he likes it when Jungkook feels possessive but he also hates how the
203
alpha nags him because of it.

He is a /model/.

He is required to show skin and it was not like the alpha claimed him in front of the whole world that he could tell off the world into not staring at his neck so it was just irritating to him right now.
204
"we have had this conversation before. You knew what you were getting into when we started this-"

"Taehyung do not speak like this is not something I cannot ask from you. You are a mated omega, it should not be required for you to hide your mark like this and show off an
205
unmarked neck just for shooting. There are unmated alphas working around you, aren't there?" Jungkook asks, his voice stable through the speaker.

The omega tries to suppress it but he can't as he huffs out, "the pictures I get-"

"When did you get that?" Jungkook retorts.
206
He frowns, "Jungkook, no, let's not do this now."

"Is Min Yoongi there?" The alpha fires again.

He shakes his head pursing his lips, just then someone shouts out for him and he just says, "I will have to go now, they are calling me back for the shoot. You are going home?"
207
"I will be home by the time you are back." Jungkook says as Taehyung cuts the call without waiting.

Jungkook pushes a tongue on his inner cheek as he meets his drivers eyes on the rearview mirror, "tell me that was not Min Yoongi's voice."

The beta's gaze does not waver, "it
208
was his voice, Sir."

"Motherfcker", he curses out as he throws the phone away beside him. "A goddamn leech." Jungkook stares outside in the dark.

"Tell Jina to not move away from her position. Taehyung won't tell me sh*t."

The driver nods and continues driving.
209


"In all honesty, we should not look back on the past right before you go into a debate with your opponent, Jungkook-ssi." Hoseok, his team head says as he matches his eyes.

"But it is a good question. Can I send Min Yoongi off of this pack when I do become the pack leader?"
210
He throws out, as he walks beside the other briskly.

"None of the pack leader has come for a rapper before, Sir, but it could be tried, is that what you wanted to hear? You are not getting that, we need to prep you for the all the pointers he could throw at you-" Hoseok does
211
not stop walking still.

"My mate." Jungkook offers as he nods at the people who bow down to him. "That is the only thing he could throw at me, Hobi-ah."

Hoseok throws him a side glare, "it is also the one that you cannot answer as of yet. So? Can we start?"
212
"yes we can."

Hoseok pauses all of a sudden as he throws his hands out and raises his voice, "as the unspoken rule, us head alphas are expected to have our omegas beside us right? I have my omega right beside me. I see you, all alone. What a shame"

Jungkook pauses too. He
213
opens his mouth, looking like he is losing his cool. Hoseok snaps his fingers then, "you lost that debate right there, Sir."

"That's an immoral question and I stand by that." Jungkook says, as he looks away.

"That's a logical question, its their head alpha, a mate is important
214
we all know that as wolves. That is the only thing I would say is holding you back, head alpha."

Jungkook throws him a wry smile at the way he addressed him, "fuxk him, he is going to get it from me. I am not even going to allow him to bring that question to the table."
215
"let's hope that isn't his first question then because by now, everyone is aware which button to press to get you all worked up"

"Sometimes", Jungkook lowers his voice than. "I wish I could just shove it in his pudgy face that my omega is way better than his omega but-"
216
"you cannot do that." Hobi is shaking his head vehemently, "announcing Mr. Tae as your mate would be sui*ide, it would be the worst scandal. We cannot take that hit this close to the elections."

Jungkook nods, "Trust me, Taehyung leaves no stone unturned for me to not know that"
217
It is the first question he asks, as if he had been waiting on Jungkook for that specific topic.

Jungkook holds himself from gritting his teeth, as he takes a glance at the said mate of his opponent.

Jungkook clears his throat. "Despite being known as one of the powerful
218
alphas." He pauses for effect. "I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in fated mates and the mate the moon goddess wishes for me is the one I am waiting for."

Every bit of that is mastered and worded carefully but the awed gasps and the admired claps are deafening as he gives his
219
trophy smile as if he already won the election.

After the shouts of admiration dies down, he glares back squarely at his opponent, "now, for the way you handled the stock exchange and mass incarceration rate in the pack under the current head alpha, you-"
220
He wins the debate but the happiness in him gets wiped out when he sees a lone message on his phone from his mate.

Its funny, the universe, when everyone thinks it's him who is in control. Nobody noticed that even his emotions and thoughts go from here to the other side in
221
seconds just for this omega he has made his eternal mate.

my omega;
'I wish I was fated to you by the Moon goddess, maybe then you would have shown me off, regardless of who I was'

He huffs out, biting his lips, as he feels the tell tale sting in his eyes. He is
222
the pureblood alpha, a politician, the to be head alpha, he would be dead before he will allow himself to be caught crying but he can hold anything, anything, be strong for everything until it came to not being able to keep his omega happy.
223
He squares his jaw and smiles at his team that claps for him for winning the debate as soon as he enters, "we have done it", he says, strong voiced.

They shout out choruses of 'yes's, "the question about the mate was worded perfectly, hats off to whoever wrote it."
224
That sentence had enough power to probably have created a small bamboo bridge between Taehyung and him, besides the bridge that is created by Min Yoongi and Taehyung's innate reasons to lie regarding the alpha, but it was there.

The writer deserved the recognition.
225
An omega from his team, Jieun, blushes as other woots, "she is a hopeless romantic."

She sure is, Jungkook thinks sardonically as he smiles, all bunny teethed. His silent phone is his pocket lies heavy.

"I will see you guys tomorrow. Hoba, walk with me?" Hoseok turns to
226
attention and scurries after him as he briskly starts walking, his bodyguards following him.

He does not talk because of the sheer amount of people that are looking at him as he passed but he finds himself getting impatient so he walks even faster.

Hoseok has a hard time
227
keeping up, but he does until he sits in the seat beside him. Jungkook takes his phone out and shoves it at him. "The glass cracked today. Have it fixed and sent to me by tomorrow morning. Shift me to my home phone for now."

"Will do sir." Hoseok nods and waits for him to say

something more. Jungkook looks out of the window when he speaks, "would it be possible to set up a team meeting between both mine and Taehyung's team tomorrow?"

"You have to meet the head alpha of the united nations, it is a big meeting, we are required to stay on put for the
229
whole day-"

"Make it possible", Jungkook pats Hoseok's shoulders, "I know you can. I want to clear some things between the teams as soon as possible." He pauses, sees Hoseok's narrowed eyes, "please?"

The other alpha sighs as he leans back on the leather seat. "You ask
230
too much head alpha. I think we can squeeze something in late afternoon tomorrow, just before the meeting."

"Perfect", Jungkook says tiredly, "now I will go home to my omega. You go to the team?"

Hoseok gets out of the car, "will do, head alpha, will do"
231
The alpha in him grows restless the longer he is away from his phone, the longer he is away from his home. He needs to talk to Taehyung.

He needs to make the onega understand, he just wishes he could clear everything up in between them but it sounded impossible because
232
he had fear clogging his mind, fear of Taehyung leaving him for Min Yoongi, fear of Taehyung leaving him because the younger discovered he has more things to look forward to than his political life.

"Taehyung," he calls out as soon as he enters their house. The omega turns
233
and he looks tired, sulky with a downturn of his lips. “Jungkook.”

“I got your message.” Jungkook says slowly as he stills stands, feets away from the sofa. Taehyung watches him, “Have you?” His tone sounds off.

“It was written by my team because that fuxker always manages
234
to catch me off guard with that question and you know the public holds onto every debate-”

“It was sweet.” Taehyung says silently, meeting his eyes. “What you said. You know I liked believing in ‘fated mates’ back then too. I would have swooned so hard.”
235
His eyes sparkle a bit before dimming. “If I did not know that fated mates could be one sided too like love.”

His gaze never leaving Jungkook’s.

“It is not one sided.” Jungkook grits his teeth, angry at himself because of the look in the omega’s eyes.
236
— i will come back later because it looks like no one is reading it, see you!—
237
The omega laughs mirthlessly, extending his hand towards Jungkook. “Is it not, Jungkook? Come here and kiss me.”

Jungkook shakes his head as he takes a step towards Taehyung. “It is not.”

Taehyung frowns as the alpha does not come nearer, his hand falls.
238
“If you believe that, then am I not supposed to be your fated mate? Why am I not introduced to the world as your mate?”

Jungkook cannot speak.

The omega’s frown strengthens. “What? You said yourself you would introduce your fated mate to the world once you find him.
239
You say you did.” His voice cracked. “ Why does my profession matter still? I told you I am ready to give-”

Jungkook takes those steps to his omega as he crushes him in his arms, shaking his head. “I will not be the reason for you to give up your dreams, Taehyung. If I do,
240
it would ki! me. You have been patient for so long, my love, just one more month, I will declare to the whale world that you are my mate. Hell, I will scream it to them.”

Taehyung suppresses a giggle at the image of Jungkook screaming in front of so many people but he just nods.
241
“You promise?”

“I promised already. Three years is a long time, baby and you have done so well. I will let your claiming mark proudly in the office everyday afterwards too if you want me too.”

He actually giggles out loud then as he hits the alpha lightly. “Stop trying
242
to make me laugh when you made me cry just a few hours ago, alphas do not have claim marks from their omegas-”

Jungkook’s heart breaks at the sentence but he just wills his guilt and tears back, “I would let you still because I believe you are my fated mate.”
243
Taehyung matches his eyes, growing somber. “You own me, Jeon Jungkook. My body, my soul, my heart, you own my everything. I would /d*e/ if you were to leave me one day-”

“You are never d*ing on me, my love.” Jungkook says adamantly.

Taehyung continues. “That sentence
244
really hurt me, you're saying this now.” Taehyung feels his eyes sting. “Do you really really mean it?”

“I promise on my alpha. I really really mean it.” Jungkook says, shaking his head so the omega does not cry. Taehyung’s tears subsides as he nods.
245
“Then kiss me and heal me, alpha.” He can call Jungkook ‘alpha’ now. He got him as his alpha.

Jungkook does kiss him, hard.

Being a model meant he had to run to his stylist’s house in dire circumstances.
246
One such presented itself when the dress he was wearing had all its drapes coming loose one by one till it looked like a massive heap of clothes. He had to be taken to the stylist’s house in an emergency.
247
“I am so sorry, Taehyung-ssi. The babysitter has bailed on me and my alpha is at work.”

He gives her a large smile. “It’s fine, I completely understand.”

His manager nods behind him. She ushers them into her living room and makes Taehyung stand in the middle of it.
248
“Sorry it is a mess here. I was feeling a bit low yesterday so I made nests in my bedroom, here, everywhere.” She laughs.

The smile dims in his face. The omega got to show off her nests consisting of her alpha, she was lucky. “Your nests look really comfortable.”
249
He compliments, staring at it with longing, something she sees as nothing as she blushes. “Yeah, my alpha helped me too, most of them are his worn shirts.”

He looks away. Jungkook gives him his shirts too and lets him make a nest in their house- but just in their bed, not
250
their living room- not where they watch the television and snuggle against each other and Taehyung misses the warmth and the feel of his nest, but he cannot make one because there are people over in their house always.
251
He does not make nests anywhere but in their house.

He does not get to talk about his alpha like her.

He does not get to cherish a pup like her.

He smiles, “The drapes?”, She gets on with the drapes as he watches her everything and tries to make sense of why he is feeling
252
so emotional. He has been okay living like this for three years, he did not complain because Jungkook had promised him already and he told him he was okay with it.

But why was he not okay now? He suddenly feels nauseous as he cups his hand over his mouth, tasting bile.
253
He does not get to excuse himself as he rushes to the nearest bin along with his drapes and hurls, coughing violently. "Fuxk."

"Taehyung-ssi!"

"Taehyung, are you okay?"

He nods, closing his eyes. "I am fine, its just-"

"Oh," the designer says all of a sudden and
254
he just opens his eyes to look at her as she is looking at him with wide eyes, "oh you are, oh my Luna, CONGRATULATIONS!"

She pulls him in a hug even as he is bent. He can only nod. "Your pup is going to be beautiful, I am sure, Taehyung-ssi, this is so precious. The whole
255
process of being pregnant-"

He blocks off her words as soon as that word comes out of her mouth and he looks at his manager. The beta nods. He gently pries her off of himself to stand, shaky on his knees. He smiles, its a fake one but she doesn't get it. "Thank you
256
but I would like it if no one knows about it actually since I haven't being telling anyone yet."

His manager comes forth. "Ofcourse Taehyung, I am sure Jihyun-ssi would comply by the privacy rules, she is after all a designer under our same label."

It is an underlying threat,
257
pointing out her link to him to keep her mouth shut. Taehyung has learned this dirty trick from his mate's team and had his manager doing it too because to get his gain, he would have to pull up his strengths at a point.

She laughs, a tad bit uncomfortably, "ofcourse, I would
258
not snitch. Your secret is safe with me." She has the audacity to wink. "Now chop, chop, we need to get this dress on properly to complete the shoot."

He still looks at his manager, the beta nods again before going to make a call.

He wishes he did not have to go through such
259
troubles for this, but his v*miting always causes problems. This is so tiring. He rubs his cheeks as he stands tall again, back as if he had never gotten sick just a few minutes ago.

"If I was Jungkook-ssi, I would have worshipped the very ground you walk on, Tae."
260
Taehyung grows still, he turns to look at Yoongi with large eyes, "do not-"

Yoongi narrows his eyes. "I let you go so you could be the happiest because you told me your happiness is with someone like him but you bave been anything but that for a long time now."
261
Taehyung looks away. "It is the pup-"

"See?" Yoongi retorts with a scoff, eyes hardened. "He even made you call your own pup in a way that makes you sound detached. Do you not see what is wrong with that?"

"M-my pup." Taehyung stutters, breathes
262
out, his heart a beating in fear of who might be listening and telling his husband about the conversation he is having with Yoongi.

"Do not look like that." Yoongi says sternly, "I am going to kil! that alpha if you look like that.
263
You deserve to be worshipped, Tae. You deserve to be shown off, to be kissed, to be pampered."

"That bastard does not even know how lucky he is that he got you to carry his pups. What would I have not given-"

Taehyung holds his index finger over Yoongi's lips
264
them. "Please . hyung. Do not speak it. Do not dig up the past when our break up was mutual-"

"You are so selfish, Kim Taehyung-"

"It is Jeon Taehyung."

"You are so selfish, /KIM TAEHYUNG/." Yoongi says through gritted teeth.
265
"It was not a mutual break up and you know it. You left me for that bastard, I did not want to keep you in a relationship when I knew you only had affections for a guy you did not even know outside of the media."

"How could I not let you go when you were like that for him,
266
and not for me? I don't know what heavenly work he did in his previous life to get you so smitten by him without doing the bare minimum even, but he is one lucky bastard and I want him to see it."

Taehyung bites his lips as he shakes his head adamantly, he holds
267
Yoongi's hand in his to calm him down which works like magic.

"Hyung, that is where you are wrong with him. He is not the lucky one in this relationship, I am. I am the one who bagged the /head alpha/, an alpha older than me who only was known to court older omegas.
268
He is the coolest person out there who has suffered a lot to get to where he is. He mated me as soon as he got to know me- he did not let me feel the insecurity then. I became his permanently. So do not say that he is incompetent. His election is near, but he has
269
cancelled his campaign overseas for me because he knows something is wrong with me. It is I who do not deserve him because I am keeping his pup a secret from him-"

Yoongi rolls his eyes. "Only because of his goddamn election."

Taehyung pauses, he licks his lips as
270
he holds Yoongi's hand. "I am talking to you here in your studio as if he did not specifically request me not to do so."

Yoongi glares at hjm. "He cannot take you away from me this time."

"He will not." Taehyung assures the alpha, intertwining their fingers slowly.
271
"He cannot break our friendship. Hyung, please do not bring out our past anymore. You do not deserve it." He whispers.

"You deserve to be loved and I cannot be that person."

"Why-" Taehyung puts his hand over his lips this time because he is so afraid of
