One Step Closer - PART 1

One Step Closer - 82💕

Jungkook blushed a lighter shade of red, slanting a glance at Taehyung, who pretended to look away before pressing a chaste kiss on his alpha's lips. The rest of the breakfast went without any hitch and he thanked Taehyung for breakfast.

"Hush now." Taehyung waved a dismissive hand as he grabbed his jacket. "It's getting late. Let's go now."

"Okay. See you later, alpha." Jungkook went in for a hug but Jimin stole a kiss, scenting him gently. His fingers dug gently into his hips.

"I'll be waiting," he murmured against his lips. "Eat well, hmm. And text me if some asshole is bothering you. Alpha will take care of them."

Jungkook smiled. "Okay. You too take care, alright? Don't stress too much."

"Yes, boss." Jimin brushed their noses. "Now go." He walked him to the door, waving at him until the elevator doors closed.

Taehyung casually threw a hand over his shoulder once outside the elevator and led him to his car. "You see the cars there," he pointed, "Those are Jimin's cars. His cars come with a customized number plate."

Jungkook noticed the fancy numbers first and then the cars, sucking in a sharp breath. There were at least seven of them and he had a feeling there could be more.

Taehyung hooked a finger under your chin. "Sign the adoption papers and you'll have more than this."

"What?" he gasped.

The actor looked unfazed as he wore his stylish coolers in an elegant, swoon worthy way. Jungkook knew him from the movie scenes; he'd caught here and there while working in a fancy restaurant. His old employer used to have a huge TV in the waiting area. Taehyung was an exceptional actor and if Jungkook wasn't too busy working all the time, he would have spared time to catch up with his movies.

"Googly Eyes, you're not a ninja. I know you overheard me and Jimin talking. He might not have noticed because he was doused in your scent from head to toe, but I did." He tapped his nose. "Purebred, remember?"

"Oh." Jungkook didn't know how to respond to that comment.

"Don't worry. There was nothing I didn't want you to hear. It saved my time repeating that stuff. But next time we talk adult stuff, cover your ears. Got it?"

Jungkook bobbed his head up and down. The alpha opened the car door for him to enter. When he did, Taehyung closed the door to go to the driver's seat.

Jungkook was silent until he backed the car out of the garage and eased it into the morning traffic. "Why?" he asked. "You barely know me. Why do you want me to be your brother?"

"Why not?" Taehyung shot back. "Am I not cool enough to be your big bro?"

"It's just..." Jungkook exhaled. "I have nothing to offer. I don't even understand why you're being so kind to me."

"What if I don't want anything but some affection from that pure heart of yours?" the actor asked, silencing Jungkook. "You heard everything." He blew out a breath. "I broke a few ribs and fractured my leg with a minor head injury. When I was unconscious, the hospital didn't allow anyone to meet me. My friends were all waiting outside and they wouldn't give them any updates either. Later, once I woke up I told them to let them in and they did. It was hell. Anyways, the problem wasn't that. While I was recuperating in a private wing, I used to take a walk around when I got bored. And there in the general ward, I'd see two brothers. The elder brother was my age and his younger brother was around sixteen I guess. Every day after school, he'd come to see his elder brother. They'd eat together, talk until the visitor's time was over. Maybe I was a bit jealous because I didn't have that. My friends would come over too, but their sibling bond was something I longed for. And a wise person once said you create your own pack if you aren't born into one. I'm just doing that."
