Hidden Omega

Keeping up with Taehyung, Part 1

It was Mingyu who had placed his hand on Taehyung, "they are gone," it was simply all he could focus on, where was his pack, did they not want him anymore.

"No please look at me, they aren't gone, I called them, nobody is gone, you are just all gonna spend a little time apart. Remember how you said that you wanted Seokjin to feel better and Hoseok to get some help. That is what they are doing, everybody just thought you were gonna stay with us for a while. Nobody has left you, nobody is leaving you." Seungcheol was kneeling in front of Taehyung with the younger face between his hands, forcing Taehyung to keep looking at him.

"They didn't... leave me? They still want me?" In his scrambled mind, Taehyung had managed to convince himself that BTS was finally gonna punish him for not being an omega, for letting everybody down, that they had enough of him being a disappointment.

"No, of course, they didn't, they still love you very much." Mingyu was sitting behind him, petting the younger hair. He had to fight very hard with himself, not to point out that they, Seventeen, loved Taehyun just as much, but he knew it wasn't the time.

They all might love Taehyung, but that wasn't what Taehyung needed. He needed his own pack to love and respect him.

It had been hard for all of them to accept that while they might all feel that Taehyung belonged with them, that they weren't right for Taehyung. The rest of Seventeen had slowly accepted it, but it had been harder for Mingyu, Jeonghan, and Hansol. They had slowly accepted it, but moments like this. Mingyu just wanted to steal Taehyung away and never let him go again.

He wanted to tell Taehyung everything, that they all loved him so much, not for his subgender, but for him. He wanted to tell Taehyung that the reason Hansol loved having him at his heat, didn't cause they didn't have a lot of beta's it was because he was Taehyung and he made Hansol laugh instead of just feeling... slutty.

But that wasn't an option, and they all knew it, they couldn't just tell Taehyung that. Taehyung was never gonna leave the BTS pack unless they forced him out, and even if BTS did that, none of the members of Seventeen thought, that they would actually be able to put the pieces of Taehyung back together. Taehyung was like a person with sickness, that was so deep inside him, that they could no longer save him from it, all they could do was making him comfortable with living with it.

"But..." Seungcheol interrupted him before he could finish that sentence.

"No but, everything is okay, we promise you, baby."

For a few seconds, Taehyung just stared at him with big open eyes, blinking a few times, like he was confused like he didn't actually completely understand what was going on, but then he nodded "okay."

It was clear to all of them that Taehyung didn't really believe it, but he had stopped crying and calmed down a little, which was a start that they could work with.

It was Taehyun's turn to sit down next to the other Tae on the ground "look at the bright side, you get to spend some time with me and the rest of the Seventeen guys before you and your pack leave for Japan."

"Tae?" Taehyung looked actually surprised to see the older omega, while yes he had smelled Taehyun's scent, but he hadn't actually realized that he was here "When did you come back?"

"10 minutes after you left, I do always have the worst timing." Taehyun smiled a private soft smile that Taehyung himself couldn't return.

"Are you... staying?" Taehyung knew that the other Tae had taken a break from Seventeen to get his head straight, to make sure that it was actually what he wanted. The BTS beta had felt sorry for Seventeen, but he could also understand why the other was hesitant to join Seventeen.
