I fiddled with the small package in my hands, waiting for someone to open the door for me.
I was standing in front of Jungkook's home, feeling tiny with facing the large building.
The entrance door opened abruptly and a stressed looking Jimin looked down at me confused, "...Y/N?"
Taehyung appeared behind him quickly, grin splitting his face in two, "Y'all, Y/N's back!" He shouted, making a bunch of shifters - two of them in their wolf forms - tackle me mercilessly.
"Did you miss us that much?" Dahyun beamed while hugging me aggressively.
"She must've, seeing how early she's back!" Beomgyu chimed up, one arm wrapped around my shoulder.
I tried not to stumble over the to wolves wrestling at my feet, smiling a little bit overwhelmed at these overly enthusiastic people that embraced me happily, like they always did.
"Hello Y/N."
I turned around surprised, smiling at Yoongi-ssi, who was leaning against the doorframe to the kitchen, lips twitching upwards as he saw the fuss the others were making around me.
I bowed slightly - as best as I could while being friendly suffocated by three different people - fairly remembering that there was something I wanted to still tell the pack leader. Something that was probably pretty important but lost it's significance when remembered that Jungkook was somewhere upstairs and in pain.
"Hmf- hi Dahyun. Hey, Beomgyu." I huffed, "Where's Jungkook."
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know that?" Jimin said mysteriously, earning a nudge from Taehyung.
"He's upstairs in his room." Latter provided helpfully, "But it'd be better if you just stayed down here."
"Huh, why?"
"Do you really not know?" Jimin groaned annoyed.
I scowled, "No? I'm sorry that I didn't grow up around shifters, learning every detail about what makes them different to humans."
Taehyung snorted, pinching his friend to prevent him from making any snide remark, "What Jimin wanted to say is that you shouldn't go up there, because that will probably worsen his rut."
"O-Oh." No, I really didn't want this.
"Do you even know what shifters do during a rut, honey?" Sunmi asked smirking.
"No? Not really."
"Well, we just aggressively fuc- hmpf-" Beomgyu pressed his hands against her lips, blushing hardly while the woman tried to fight him off.
"Don't misinform the poor girl," He hissed embarrassed.
The others laughed, which made me feel kinda stupid, since I didn't know why they were laughing.
Taehyung chuckled, "Just stay down here and everything will be fine."
"Uh- okay but, I wanted to- I brought tea." I said very intelligently.
"Tea?" Taehyung echoed confused.
Yoongi, who was behind him, stood up straight in sudden interest.
"Well, yeah, tea. My Grandma gave it to me. She said it would ease a shifter's pain during a rut?"
"Moira gave it to you?" Yoongi asked surprised, curiously taking the tea package out of my hand.
I hummed agreeing. He inspected the package, before turning around, towards the kitchen, "That's awfully nice of her." He chimed over his shoulder, "Tell her thanks on my behalf!"
"Wait- will you give it to Jungkook?" I asked confused.
The pack leader stopped and turned his head towards me, "Of course. But not as long as you are in this house, Y/N."
I nodded, taking a small step back.
The rest had finally stopped with fussing around me like a bunch of maniacs and I was able to take a breath freely - which was when it hit me. The scent.
Until now, I hadn't been able to smell pheromones, so this was a huge shock for me.
Especially since those pheromones were... well, they were his rut's pheromones. Horny pheromones you could say. Ew.
I was hit by this heavy, weirdly indescribable scent so suddenly and strongly, I didn't even know what was happening til my body had already moved on it's own accord and I was walking up the stairs, the frantic shouting of a bunch of panicked shifters snapping me out of it.
I was already at the top of the stairs when I finally listened to them.
My body turned back towards the others, ready to leave when I heard Jungkook's hoarse voice shouting from the inside of his room
"Get her the fuck out!"
My eyes widened, and instead of doing as literally everyone in this house told me I marched towards the iron door at the end of the corridor, making everyone downstairs groan simultaneously.
If they really want me to leave then they just gotta come upstairs, I thought.
Just little bit closer. That's what I thought, making hesitant steps towards the door that was pulling me in like a magnet - or, no, it were probably the pheromones that were pulling me in, but whatever.
Suddenly, I heard loud bangs like thunder, only to realize that it was coming from the inside of Jungkook's room. He was banging against the door like a fucking madman.
And then I heard his voice- "Come here, bunny. Why don't you be a good little bunny and come inside?" Oh hell no, what demon possessed him to sound so sultry. Plus, didn't he just tell me to leave?
As much as I hate to admit it, somehow, his words worked and lured me in deeper.
I was shaking with nerves by the time I reached the door.
"What a good girl." Oh lord, "Come to us." Us?!, "Yeah, that's it. We'll treat you well, promised."
As promising as it sounded to my stupid, hypnotized self in that moment - all the luring won't make me enter the room if the fucking door is locked.
"Wha-" I shook the handle confused, the stubbornly locked door bringing me back into reality.
"Looks like he'll have to wait for you a little more." Namjoon, who had suddenly appeared behind me, chimed, letting a small, silver key dangle between his thumb and index finger.
My eyes widened and I stumbled away from the room, "Fuck, I'm sorry, I don't know why I-"
"It's okay," Namjoon chuckled, "We've all been there at some point. Pheromones are tricky." Then he gently grabbed my wrist and pulled me with him, "We better get you away from him, should we?"
I nodded wordlessly, embarrassment making me mute while I stumbled after him. Gosh am I stupid.
When we were back downstairs, I was faced with a pack of shifters grinning me down smugly, but staying silent non the less.
Huh, it's almost as if Yoongi threatened them into not loosing a single word about my stupid ass actions. Gotta thank him later.
Huh?
Thank him?
Ah, right.
"Y-Yoongi-ssi?" I asked, looking around searching.
"Yes?" The black haired shifter appeared in the door frame, holding a steaming cup in his hand.
"I just-" I looked around, watching the others leave one by one, "Hiro told me everything and I should thank you for saving my life back then. I don't know I can possibly express this but- thank you. On behalf of my Grandmother as well."
The man smiled softly, something that fitted him well by the way, and he reached forwards to pat my head gently, "You've got nothing to thank me for. I wasn't even able to safe your parents. I'm just grateful that you grew up healthily." Then he retreated his hand suddenly, "Although... there is one thing you could do for me."
"Of course, what is it?"
"This red haired witch-friend of yours... who is he and where can I find him?"
