Mix and Match ~ TK

49

"Welcome back!" Seokjin greeted the tired wolves, eyes gleaming at the sight of a barely awake Taehyung lazily passing his suitcase to a equally tired Jungkook who took it from him silently, dragging both their luggage toward the main building before going to lend the other a helping hand.

"I see you all are doing quite well." The Luna remarked, eyeing the pairs coming out of the cars and looking up at his alpha, a secretive smile shared between the two.
"Congratulations Sehun and Chaeyoung, your parents are quite excited to see you guys." he added to the happy couple, nodding accordingly and thanking the Luna and Alpha.

"How are you feeling, cousin?"Namjoon smiled as the blue haired approached him along with his cute shy mate. "And Soobin, I hope you're well suited with the group." the said wolf nodded enthusiastically, he had the most fun in an actual pack rather than living alone abroad; he was so happy to have followed his mate here after graduating High school. The place already felt like a second home to him.

"We're doing great, Alpha. Did you manage to speak with mom and dad?" Yeonjun asked, referring to Soobin's parents as the elders were still quite reluctant about their son's sudden departure and he knew it bothered his mate even if he wouldn't admit to it.
Namjoon took his mate's hand, and offered the young couple his signature dimpled smile.

"I did actually." he informed, "they needed a bit more convincing is all." he winked. Yeonjun squinted his eyes at his cousin's mischievous look.

"And by convincing you mean.. ?"

"Plane tickets of course. They're coming in two weeks." the Alpha announced and Soobin's eyes widened.

"Really?!" Yeonjun was equally impressed by the lengths his cousin went to in order to please his pack members.
"Woah! Merci beaucoup!" (thank you very much!) the black haired omega thanked, still unbelieving.

"You can thank your other cousin for that, actually." Namjoon confessed. "Taehyung was the one to suggest they come visit. He also insisted to pay for the tickets."

Yeonjun was astonished. He knew Taehyung loved and valued his family so much, but he never imagined the brown haired to do something like this merely for the sake of his cousin's mate. He turned his head and saw him standing behind a busy Jungkook, who was helping a struggling Jimin with his baggage, looking like he's barely standing up from fatigue but not moving away nonetheless.
Right there and there, Yeonjun saw the things Jungkook managed to actually bring to light from his cousin. A rough diamond. Only apparent to those who looked well enough for it.

"Now that everyone is gathered, there's a few changes I'd like to adress." Namjoon's words made the entirety of the young wolves direct their attention to him. "We'll announce everything tonight at dinner in the main house. You can all rest for now." he concluded, letting the pack scatter to each his own house— or their parents'— depending on their personal preferences. Taehyung was exhanging his phone with Jimin's purse, passing the latter their dorm keys as well when the blonde was being called.

"Come, please." Seokjin gestured to the entrance of the main building. The younger complied after assuring his best friend that he'll text him once done.
When Taehyung turned around, expecting the black haired wolf to be behind him, he found no one. He scowled. Where did go? He wondered, not even thinking about his luggage which disappeared as well.
Dumbfounded and seeing as the rest of the wolves were all gone, he dragged his feet to his home, tapping on the elevator's P button heading up to the top house.
Arriving at the penthouse, he got rid of his sandals in the entrance and strutted inside.
Taehyung was making his way to his bedroom at the end of the corridor when he heard hushed sounds in the guest room.
Curious, the brunette approached the door which was slightly opened only to jump back, screaming.

"What the heck?!"

"Goddess, Taehyung! Don't you know about knocking first?" a half naked Yeonjun yelled out, hastily covering his mate's lower half in a mess of sheets and pillows.

"It was open!"

"Still!"

Taehyung rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Just..." he motioned with his hand, "proceed." he turned on his heels, actually making his way to his bedroom this time when he was stopped by a half naked Yeonjun, struggling to pull his pants up. Taehyung stared at him questionably. Geez, he learned his lesson already, not watching his cousin screwing his mate. Noted.

"What-"

"Thank you." when the brunette still wouldn't comprehend what the other was thanking him for, the younger elaborated, "for Soobin's parents. Namjoon told me. This really means a lot to Soobin but to me as well, so thank you, Tae."

Taehyung didn't know how to answer at first, never really having to deal with anyone thanking except from Jimin from time to time where they ended up fighting because why would they thank each other? They were best friends! So he shrugged it off.

"It's nothing." he offered the blue haired a genuine boxy smile. If Yeonjun and Soobin were happy then it's all worth it. Yeonjun engulfed him in a tight hug which he reluctantly returned. The former was in the middle of a shag after all and Taehyung wasn't really the biggest fan of incest as per se.

Letting go, a fully wrapped in blankets' Soobin was staring at them from the bedroom door. Upon being noticed, he quickly jumped in between the two to enlace the still stunned brunette, kissing both his cheeks twice.

"Thank you." He whispered as well.

Taehyung only blushed an embarrassing shade of red, nodding.

"Do you know why we called you in, Jiminie?"

The blonde shook his head at the Luna's words.

"We received an interesting phone call yesterday night from the Bangtan pack." Alpha Namjoon explained slowly. "Jimin, they want you to go there."

The beta frowned, unsure of what he was hearing.

"Why is that?" he asked, confused.

"Jeon Yoongi. Does that name ring a bell to you?" Jimin shook his head. The name, albeit unfamiliar, weirdly moved a string in Jimin's gut. "That's your mate's name. Or what we were told, at least."

Jimin's heart stopped, eyes wide.

"Yoongi, requested your presence to the Bangtan pack. Actually, Head Alpha Jeon personally contacted us in this regard." Namjoon slowly explained, mindful of the younger's reaction. "We were unsure of such statement. Yoongi confirmed that you were his second chance. But we don't really have much evidence to confirm this."

"As you may or may not know, Yoongi came here a couple of weeks ago in search for his brother."

Jimin looked up, his eyes swimming in incomprehension. His brother?

"Jungkook."

Oh.

Jimin's mate was Jungkook's brother. Well this made no sense at all. Except for the fact that he never saw the boy before. It actually adds up. Jungkook mysteriously arriving to their pack and then a few months later, he meets his chosen one.

"The question is wether he's really your mate or not, which I still can't wrap my head around to be honest."
Namjoon confesses the second part with a furrow of his brows. In a movement though, he reaches for the phone which Jin handed him, already lit up as he pushed it in the blonde's direction.
Jimin turned his eyes to glance at the screen and his breath hitched. A picture of his happy looking mate, white hair, and crinkles at the side of his eyes from the intensity of his grin. The sight brought a little smile to the beta's face as well. But that wasn't what grabbed his attention as much; the equally grinning boy, hugging his mate from behind with both their hands interlaced at the front, did.
Studying the image, Jimin somehow undestood Namjoon's own reluctance and confusion.
Second chance.
Here was the reason Yoongi laughed incredulously when they first met.

He already had a mate.
