When both males, Jimin and Taehyung, noticed the pure breed alpha standing there, he walked closer to them. His stern face never changed, hands in his black leather jacket's pockets and his dark hair nicely parted, leaving a few strands above his eyes.
"Jeongguk? I thought you were gonna wait for me in my apartment..." Jimin said, not sure why he was panicking, he didn't do anything wrong. But why he felt like he was betraying his friend?
And Taehyung just looked at him dumbfounded, he didn't seem to be awkward at all, just surprised by Jeongguk's sudden appearance. And Jeongguk just ignored Jimin and walked past him just to stand in front of Taehyung taking his hands and rubbing them.
"I told you I'll keep you warm" Jeongguk whispered to the omega who blushed instantly, matching the pink color he gained for the cold. After that Jeongguk turned around, placing himself next to Taehyung with an arm around his shoulders, marking his territory. "I got bored, neither of you responded to my texts," the alpha said to both males with a hint of resentment.
"Sorry, I was charging my phone," Taehyung said softly, his eyes glued to the alpha next to him. Looking at him with dreamy eyes, and when Jeongguk turned his eyes to look at him, Jimin swore he saw love in those big sharp dark eyes, something he haven't seen since they were kids.
"Well I'm going then, Yoongi hyung gets worried if I'm out too late," Jimin said with a smile, a soft smile.
"Bye Jimin, I'll text you to meet again for our project," Taehyung said smiling at the smaller male and waving a hand. Jimin nodded waving back at him and then looked at Jeongguk for a moment, wishing for his friend to say something too. Jeongguk just stared at him and Jimin couldn't decipher what he was thinking, so he just left.
On his way to his apartment, he felt strange on the inside. He really likes Taehyung, but he loves Jeongguk, and he was willing to push his feelings aside to make his best friend happy. Because Jeon Jeongguk deserved a little happiness in his life. And maybe he wasn't losing a love battle, he was never in the battle since the beginning. And for Jimin, Jeongguk was a light in his world when they were little, and was sure it was the same for Jeongguk. That was their friendship for them, a bright light in the pitch-black night.
Still, the brunette felt sad and lonely, so he did the only thing on his hands to avoid those horrible feelings. He knocks on the door of his roommate just to hear a husky 'come in'.
Yoongi was lying on his bed reading a book, glasses on, and just a lamp giving him light. "Something wrong?" Yoongi asked lifting his gaze to look at the alpha who was shily standing by the door.
"I don't want to be alone right now," Jimin said in a low mellow voice.
The omega sighed giving Jimin a bored look. "I'm not cuddling you"
Jimin pouted making his puppy eyes. "Hyung...I really need your cuddles right now".
Another sigh from Yoongi but this time he pats the spot next to him, giving in. Jimin squeals jumping quickly on the bed, placing himself next to Yoongi, and cuddling him like a baby koala. The omega hums, just putting the covers up to keep Jimin warm as he continues to read his book, even when the younger alpha was all over him. A smile appeared on Yoongi's face and he couldn't help himself but caress Jimin's brown hair, comforting the alpha with his natural soothing pheromones. Jimin fell asleep in Yoongi's embrace, he felt warm and protected. Yoongi was better than any blanket and his sweet yet minty scent was very welcoming. Yoongi would always give him consistent love and patience and Jimin was thankful for having him in his life.
But for Yoongi Jimin was more than that.
Sometimes things were better left unsaid, to keep harmony in life, to not lose something valuable. That was what Yoongi thought every time he felt like his heart was exploding and the words were about to blurt out from his mouth. Because Yoongi was afraid. Afraid of loving someone, and afraid of those feelings not being returned. But so far, Yoongi has been good at bubbling any weird emotion coming out, containing them well enough. But the thought of those feelings getting stronger was constantly bothering his mind. Stupid human emotions, he wanted to be a rock sometimes.
-----------------------
Taehyung cursed himself for being so weak against Jeongguk and giving in easily to his charm and cursed Jeongguk for being all tight muscle and bewitching words.
"Fuck..." the omega moaned as he hold himself wrapping his arms around the alpha's neck while he continue to bounce hard and deep on Jeongguk's cock.
"So fucking good" the alpha growled panting heavily as his hands grip tightly Taehyung's ass, helping him to move faster.
And Taehyung cursed Jeongguk for having such flawless ivory skin and great jet-black hair that smells like coconut. He cursed him for having a mouth so soft and addicting that made him want to kiss the life out of him. He also cursed him for those amazing dark eyes that hold the universe in them.
"I'm going to..." Taehyung managed to say, clenching tightly around Jeongguk's cock, his hands trying to grip his back hard, whining as he was about to reach his limit.
"Come for me, baby. I want to see your pretty face while coming" Jeongguk's words were teasing, dark, and alluring, sending the omega to his climax.
And he cursed Jeongguk for making him low himself to his most animal instincts with him, unable to say no and just succumbing to the need of having such a hot alpha fucking him.
The moment Taehyung reached his orgasm he fell limp on Jeongguk's cock, breathing heavily and emitting that intoxicating sweet slick that made Jeongguk go crazy. With a loud growl and a fast movement, Jeongguk switched places, pushing the car seat back to keep ramming roughly inside the omega, who just let out whimpers and soft mewls, still hazed by his orgasm.
Jeongguk came not long after, his body falling upon Taehyung catching his breath. The omega whined because of the heavy alpha upon him and that made Jeongguk smirk, pulling out from Taehyung and placing himself in the passenger seat, searching in a compartment for tissues.
"You're so immoral Guk, you know that?" Taehyung said with a tired smirk, cleaning himself and putting his jeans back on, pushing some of his golden locks away from his eyes.
Jeongguk smirked back, appreciating the beauty next to him. "You deserve it for ignoring my messages all day," the alpha said with a small pout making the omega scoff.
"You are a baby," the omega said fondly, reaching Jeongguk's messy black hair and pushing it away from his eyes.
This time Jeongguk was the one to scoff but smile nonetheless. "Don't tell anyone that though, I'm supposed to be one scary alpha" he said taking Taehyung by the arms and yanking him over to make him sit on his lap.
Taehyung hummed making himself comfortable on the alpha's lap. "Your secret is safe with me," he said resting his face on Jeongguk's neck, inhaling the muskwood scent with a tone of bergamot he began to love. "I wish I could stay here and sleep, I'm exhausted" he mumbled softly.
Jeongguk smiled caressing his hair, fingers wrapping in his blonde soft locks. "I wish you would stay with me too... why don't you call your brother and tell him you're staying out at some friend's house?"
"I have no friends"
Jeongguk laughed at Taehyung's statement. "Are you serious? I thought I was the antisocial one"
Taehyung giggled in Jeongguk's neck, tickling the alpha unintentionally. "Wanna be my friend?" he asked now looking at Jeongguk with shimmering blue eyes. Jeongguk couldn't help but smile tenderly at him.
"I wanna be your boyfriend," the black-haired male said.
"I thought you already were" the omega responded biting his bottom lip.
Jeongguk snickered pecking Taehyung's lips. "But I want to tell the world you are mine".
"Possessive" Taehyung tsked mischievously.
"Very much, I'm a pure-blood alpha" The other smirked cockily making the omega roll his eyes. "Come here babe, so pretty..."
Taehyung melted into Jeongguk's sweet words and their lips met into a powerful kiss again. Taehyung didn't realize how long he was there in Jeongguk's now-tainted car and after having quick great sex he succumbed to a heavy make-out session. Sloppy kisses, a mixture of manly musk scent with sweet vanilla and sugar. Taehyung also realized how badly he loved to tangle his arms around Jeongguk's strong neck, sometimes caressing the mole in there with shy fingers. And he loved how intense Jeongguk was, how every time Taehyung would pull away to breathe, the alpha would draw back his lips, pushing his tongue down his throat, almost leaving him breathless.
Taehyung loved the tingles Jeongguk made appear all over his body. It was magical and exciting, and he couldn't believe the most handsome alpha he had set his eyes on was his. But what Taehyung loved the most about Jeongguk was his smile, that adorable smile, and the way his eyes and nose wrinkled every time that beautiful smile appears.
--------------------
When Jeongguk drove Taehyung back home it was almost 1 am and the omega was hoping everyone would be already asleep. The blond was reconsidering his choices because Jeongguk was very persuasive and somehow he managed for Taehyung to agree to go out with him the coming weekend and have a little trip to Busan.
With light steps, Taehyung entered the house looking for his phone forgotten on the dining table. He was planning to get it and sneak into his room to not wake up his family, knowing Namjoon was awake probably doing his university work. The blonde saw the flickering yellow light coming from the door edges of the alpha's studio and halted his steps.
Taehyung hesitated for a long moment, the phone already in his hand and a light frown on his forehead. He wanted to talk to his Namjoon hyung, certain the alpha wouldn't get mad at him.
The omega knocked on the door gently and Namjoon's focused voice let out a muffled 'Come in'.
"Namjoon hyung..." Taehyung called his brother-in-law with a timid voice the moment he opened the door, staying by the frame, still hesitating if he should enter and talk or not.
Namjoon turned around surprised, glasses on and tired eyes from too much reading. "You just came back? Is pass one Taehyung"
"Yeah I didn't notice the time, sorry" the omega apologized, knowing Namjoon wouldn't scold him or anything like that. After all, Taehyung was a grown man already.
But Seokjin sometimes forgot that usually treated Taehyung like a kid.
"Were you still with Jimin?" Namjoon asked, his eyes traveling Taehyung's form from head to toe with knowing eyes.
"You know I wasn't," the blonde omega said with a low voice, his eyes looking to the floor instead of Namjoon for a moment.
But Namjoon smiled, taking his glasses off and leaving them on his desk, turning around to face the young omega. "Who is he? His strong scent is all over you"
Taehyung bit his bottom lip, fidgeting with his hands. "Guk".
"Guk?" the alpha asked frowning.
"Yeah... Guk, my boyfriend" Taehyung said, internally screaming for saying it out loud. But the need of seeing Namjoon's reaction to his news was superior.
Namjoon stared at him for a moment before clearing his throat and frowning. "You know I don't like getting involved with your love affairs Taehyung, that's Jin's job so... why are you telling me this?"
"I want to go to Busan tomorrow with him, we want to go to the beach" the omega informed, now licking his lips nervously.
Namjoon's frown never left his face. "Are you asking me for permission?"
"What? No! I'm twenty-one hyung" Taehyung scoffed making the alpha roll his eyes. "I'm asking you to help me out with Jin, you know how freaky he gets with this sort of thing. Probably thinking I'm gonna get pregnant, kidnap or kill" the blonde said annoyingly rolling his eyes.
The alpha let out a small chuckle shaking his head. "He just looks out for you. He doesn't want you to repeat his mistakes" Namjoon explained now offering a gentle dimpled smile.
Taehyung rolled his eyes. "He was fifteen, I'm twenty-one... Oh, are we talking about the pregnancy thing right? Because I don't remember someone kidnapping Jin..."
Another chuckle from Namjoon. "Don't get too funny on me, Taehyung" the alpha spoke before taking a deep breath. "Besides, you may be twenty but you're still studying and trying to finish your career. It would be a disappointment to mess up right?" Namjoon said trying not to sound like a scolding parent but probably failing to the blonde's ears.
"I'm not gonna mess up" the omega replied, already annoyed. Something Taehyung disliked was being told what to do, he didn't welcome criticism very well, perhaps one of his flaws.
"You smell like that alpha pheromones. He imprinted himself all over you... or maybe his scent is too strong" Namjoon was frowning again, sniffing Taehyung and making him nervous.
"S-stop, don't do that..." Taehyung's cheeks were bright pink already. "He's a pure-blood... his scent is quite strong"
Namjoon opened his eyes widely, surprised. "A pure blood?" he asked alarmed and the blonde just nodded. "A pureblood alpha and a male omega is a dangerous combination, Taehyung"
"I can take care of myself"
"You have to take care of yourself, in more than one way, Taehyung" Namjoon said not minding his scolding tone this time.
"I'm not stupid..." the omega scoffed trying not to blush but failing again. "We take care of ourselves" he lied, trying to stop biting his lips and stilling his hands and fingers, but it was futile for him.
"Good" Namjoon responded, still gazing at the omega. "Then I guess I'll talk to Jin about it but be responsible and take care of yourself. Whoever this alpha is you can't keep him hidden forever" the alpha said crossing his arms against his chest.
"Yeah, I know" Taehyung responded, feeling calmer and smiling this time. "Thanks hyung"
"Yeah yeah, you owe me so not telling Jin about the porcelain teapot" Namjoon smiled showing off his dimples in a rather adorable way.
Taehyung laughed nodding, saying goodnight to Namjoon, and went to bed, feeling exhausted already.
If anyone had told Taehyung he would meet an alpha who would make him lose all his senses he would have laughed in their faces, because most of the time Taehyung's feelings were neutral. He learned to keep it that way to not get hurt, not ever again.
But this time, he was going into a whirlwind of feelings. From tingling happiness to a frustrating sense of unease. In any case, Taehyung was only sure of one thing: Jeongguk had managed to get into his skin like venom.
Now the omega was fighting cowardice to face his feelings, even when it terrified him. Because the thought of not believing in soulmates was starting to change now that he felt like his own soul already knew Jeongguk's. Like they were one once.
A strange feeling perhaps.
Because what are the chances that you'd meet your soulmate? Someone you could love forever and someone who could love you back the same way, Taehyung just wonder. And the mere thought of being happy was foreign to him, almost impossible.
Soulmate: a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.
