Revenge

Chapter Forty-Eight

"It's freezing out here," Seokjin whined as he had his arms wrapped around his body, disliking the cold weather and the snow on the ground as they wandered through the forest in search for the perfect tree.

Taehyung rolled his eyes as he looked over his shoulder at the older before turning his head and gazing at Jungkook, who was holding a grin on his lips as the elder continued to whine and complain. "What's I tell you?" The alpha whispered to the boy.

The ravenette just giggled as he shook his head, the small group walking around in the forest as they examined all the trees. None of them caught Taehyung's eye, and the longer they stayed out there, the more Seokjin complained about how cold he was and how he was ready to go home.

"Seriously, who the hell decided to make this a tradition?" The delta continued on, and it only made everyone else roll their eyes at the oldest, unsure as to why he even decided to tag along. "Can't we just go to the store and buy a tree?"

"No." Taehyung shook his head at the male, glancing over his shoulder at the delta, who gave Taehyung an offended look. Seokjin only rolled his eyes at this, mumbling a string of incoherent curses under his breath.

"Right, because that would be too easy," Taehyung heard the delta grumble under his breath, the words almost inaudible, but the alpha heard him loud and clear. He only rolled his eyes as he swooped down and laced his fingers with Jungkook's, causing the boy to blush a faint pink as he chewed on his bottom lip.

They had been wandering around in the woods in search for the perfect Christmas tree for about an hour now, and they were unable to find one that caught the blond-haired alpha's eye. Fresh snow was on the ground and the bitter winter air was nipping at the tips of their noses the longer they stayed outside.

They were passing by all these beautiful trees and Taehyung wasn't even giving them a second glance, and this had Seokjin gesturing to them all with his hands as his jaw fell open. "What the hell, Tae?" The delta whined, "What about these ones? You're not even looking at them!"

The older had stomped his foot into the snow, making Taehyung stop in his tracks as he looked back at Seokjin with furrowed brows. "Why are you acting like a child?" The alpha questioned before he resumed walking.

Jungkook bit back a smile as he tried not to listen to the pair bickering, not wanting to accidentally laugh or snort and make the situation worse than what it already was. He tried focusing on other things, like his surroundings and admiring the snow that fell from the trees as the wind began to blow.

"This is ridiculous. Can we just go home and go to the store tomorrow and pick out a tree?" The delta asked, whining more and more. Taehyung decided to just ignore the elder as he shook his head, letting go of Jungkook's hand and wrapping his arm around his shoulders.

"Why'd you come if all you're going to do is complain the whole time?" Hoseok asked, glancing back as he held the chainsaw in his hands, Yoongi and Jimin walking with him. Namjoon had decided to stay back because of his arm still being in the sling, knowing he wouldn't be much help anyway.

"I didn't decide to come. I was forced to come. Like every other year," Seokjin stated matter of factly to the trio. Taehyung wasn't pay any attention anymore as they started walking deeper into the woods, the trees becoming bigger, fuller, and greener.

However, there was this one that had caught the alpha's eye, making him stop in his tracks as they stood in front of it. Jungkook looked up and allowed his eyes to roam over the large tree, loving how beautiful it was with the snow that had fallen and gathered onto the pines.

Taehyung had gazed down and nudged the other with his elbow, causing Jungkook to snap his eyes away from the tree and look up at the alpha, "You like it?"

Jungkook nodded, turning his head and admiring the tree again. "It's beautiful," He whispered, his breath coming out in white clouds as he spoke. Taehyung nodded as well, looking back at Hoseok, who still carried the chainsaw in his grasp, but was too focused on bickering with Seokjin to notice they had found a tree Taehyung wanted.

Once they had gotten the tree back to the pack house, they began to decorate it. Lights streamed all around it, the amber color complimenting the ornaments and the ribbons and bows that decorated it.

They were engulfed inside their warm home, Seokjin and Namjoon in the kitchen preparing cookies and hot chocolate with some of the other omegas that wanted to be a part of it. Hoseok, Yoongi and Jimin placed stocking by the fireplace after putting up some decoration around the house.

Jungkook and Taehyung were in charge of decorating the tree, and were done within a few hours. An angel set at the top of the tree, looking down at them and glowing a beautiful golden color, which really complimented the amber lights glistening within the green pines.

"You did a good job," Taehyung whispered into the boy's ear, smiling down at him after pressing a tender kiss to his ear, causing a pink to tint his cheeks and the tips of his ears.

"You helped, too," Jungkook stated with a bashful grin, unable to meet Taehyung's lingering gaze that was settled on him. He felt his heated eyes on him, which only made it harder to look over and meet his stare.

Taehyung wrapped an arm around the smaller, pressing a kiss to the top of his head when Jungkook rested it on the alpha's shoulder, sighing contentedly as he too wrapped his arms around the older's waist, hugging him before looking up and pressing their mouths together.
