Mix and Match ~ TK

27

"Hyung, what are you talking about?" I ask incredulously.

"I have no idea okay! I was busy mopping around about Hobi not answering any of my calls and then suddenly this- this dude appeared out of nowhere and my wolf was screaming at me that he was my mate." He answered, words precipitated and I can clearly feel his agitation even though he's doing a decent job keeping it in.
I was stunned at how quickly this escalated. So not only Yoongi and Hoseok's mate bond is.. dying? But now there's another mate in the picture? And I thought my life was dramatic.

"Is this even possible?" I ask in a soft voice, not wanting to freak my brother out more than he already is.

"I mean, yeah it's not impossible but... It's a very rare thing. I mean It's already hard to find a fated mate nowadays and if he d-dies it allows you to mate with your second one? Like some sort of second chance but it rarely even happens anymore. It's like a legend at this point."

"But Hobi hyung isn't... is he?" I shudder at even the thought of it and it seems my hyung feels the same.

"Don't you finish that question I swear to the Goddess JK."

I straighten, looking away. This is really bad. If it's not the case with Hoseok hyung, why isn't he answering any of my brother's calls or texts?

"It can't be. No way. I won't accept this."

I turn my gaze to see the hunted look in Yoongi's eyes, quickly grabbing one of his hands to try and calm him down.

"Stop this hyung. I'm sure everything is fine back there, okay? Focus on now. If you truly have a mate here, he must be very sad and confused." I tell him. Knowing my brother, he probably didn't speak a word to the poor boy and I know first hand how much this must be painful for the latter.
He suddenly looks at me, guilt flashing in his face.

"I don't even think I remember his name." I smile comfortingly at him.

"I'm sure you'll see him again soon anyways." He nods his head, eyes squinting as if he seems to try and remember something. "You remember how he looks like?" I ask, probably won't be able to help much seeing I'm still fresh in the pack, but wanting to distract my brother from the thoughts I know are consuming him.

"Barely. Lowkey was freaking out. I only remember a very unkept mop of blond hair." I nod encouraging him to go on. "Also his eyes we very cute. Smiled a lot, but it was nothing like Hobi's sunshine smile. It was more like his eyes would disappear and they looked like two crescent moons. Pretty sure he didn't see much of me." He mumbled the last part and I laughed quietly, "he's smaller than Hobi, think even smaller than me. He had some cute cheeks. Very squishable. Wait is that a word? Probably not, uhm well that's that. Oh he had some pretty nice lips as well. Goddess I actually never saw a boy with plumped lips like that. They looked so full and- no what the fuck Yoongi." he shakes his head, seeming to catch on what he was going to say.
I almost burst out laughing at my brother's fiery cheeks and his cute rambling when something stopped me dead in my tracks. Bond hair? Short? crescent moon eyes and plump lips? I freeze.

"Hyung, is by any chance your mate's name Park Jimin?" I ask slowly. Yoongi shoots me a surprised look, as if he just found out the meaning of life. Oh no.

He nods twice in affirmation.

Fuck.

Taehyung's POV

"I can't believe we're going to the cabins tomorrow." Jimin mumbled under his breath while he was busy picking clothes to perfectly fold in his suitcase for the week.

"Told you, it was Namjoon's idea. Apparently Mark's dad has been harassing him about it lately. So after we talked he kind of just informed me of it." I nod to myself, choosing the warmer maroon vest and leaving the green one behind.

"It's been a while, like three years since we last went there?" Jimin asked, even though he knew pretty well the answer. I glance back at him to see him blushing lightly. Right.

"I guess so." I answer, preferring not to bring the past back on the table. It's been indeed three years since we were last allowed to the cabins. Jimin and I having officially become adults, at that time we were basically inseparable. If you think we are so now, boy you should've seen us three years ago. We would literally go to the bathroom together. Sleep together. Eat together. Bathe together. Study together. And yes you guessed it, make out together.
To be completely honest, when we first started it was purely experimental. We would watch movies together and wonder how it would feel like to kiss and cuddle. Not that we weren't doing that already but Jimin being the extremely curious creature that he is, and me, complying to his every wish, ended up tangled in one of the bedrooms of the cabin, naked and lost. Quite literally. We didn't know what to do next because in all the movie scenes we saw, they only show them getting naked, but not what happens afterwards.
It didn't take much, however. A few porn videos and a bit of instinct later and we were already touching each other.
That night, it would've been the night Jimin and I would become mates.
We knew if we did the deed, it would only be a bite away. We knew. And were prepared for it.
That if we didn't get caught red handed by none other that my dear brother. Who, apparently, have been calling us for half an hour to join them for a night of stargazing. He definitely gazed at more than just stars that night.
Long story short. We'd been scolded.
Oh but scolded isn't strong enough of a word. We were basically punished. No more sharing a room, no more seeing each other for like a month, but also no more mountain trips for us and the rest of the pack teens. Let's just say we were heavily hated by the rest of the pack after that occurrence.
I remember how furious I was that we were being treated like little kids when we were basically adults, throwing fits of rage and breaking stuff. Though, it only took one look at Namjoon's fiery red eyes to calm down immediately.
I still was very much pissed off. And that's when I had the most memorable conversation with our Luna.

"Tae bear, we're not mad at you because you want to be with Jimin. We just don't want you to regret in case you meet your mate. You only just turned eighteen."

"But Luna, Jimin is my mate!"

"Just give it time Tae bear, okay?"

I admit that the conversation with Jin was a wake up call. But I guess it wasn't much of a change at the end of the day. I may have not mated with Jimin but we still ended up in each other's arms every single night. We still got intimate. And we still against all odds, fell in love.

When I felt his arms around my back, head niched in my neck, I breathed in his calming sent and relaxed.

"You should really remove that sweatshirt."
