THIRTEEN

Sorry if there are mistakes

Enjoy

Taehyung's leg was shaking out of nervousness as his eyes scanned around the pack grounds in search of Jeongguk. The latter hadn't come out his room yet and it was almost noon which was a little surprising since Jeongguk was the leader of the hunting troops now.

The omega felt the need to go check if he was feeling alright but he knew better than that. The eyes that usually watched him were still focused on his every action so checking up on Jeongguk was not an option, especially not now.

After overhearing that conversation in the forest, Taehyung had come to the conclusion that there was one single person who would be able to provide him with some answers. Even if he didn't want to let Yoongi and Jeongguk meet, knowing that his fated mate would probably throw a fit, Taehyung still had to contact Yoongi. The royal wolf knew more than he let everyone see and Taehyung was quite sure he would answer his questions because, after all, Yoongi was not a bad person. Taehyung didn't like him, not as a lover, but Yoongi was decent.

He knew that the alpha would get there soon because Taehyung never contacted him so the fact that he had done so would probably alert or excite the other.

Sighing, he stopped his leg from shaking, then dropped his gaze to the ground.

"What am I even doing?" He mumbled, knowing that no one could hear him.

Taehyung wasn't sure anymore about his actions but he knew one thing; he wanted to find out what Jeongguk was hiding from them and why he was engulfed in lies but he was aware that he wouldn't get an answer from him. Jimin also seemed to know but he was no option either. His friend could be a real stubborn asshole when he wanted to. The only one left who could help him understand his mate's behavior better was Yoongi, the man he wanted to see the least.

"What are you so focused on?"

Taehyung jumped up at the sound of that familiar voice, turning around to lock eyes with an amused Jimin. His friend chuckled airily at his behavior before taking a seat right next to him.

"Do you want me to get a heart attack and die?" The omega mumbled, inhaling deeply before sitting down again. "I was just lost in thoughts."

"You should stop overthinking, Taehyung. You'll get wrinkles." Jimin joked but when Taehyung turned to gaze at him, the other was not smiling.

There was a deep frown on his face which meant that he was doing just the same thing, overthinking something.

Sighing, the omega got up, deciding to take action and check if his mate was alright.

"I'm gonna go check if Jeongguk's alright. He hasn't come out of his room yet and it's almost noon. See you later."

Jimin looked like he wanted to say something else but he flopped onto the seat back again, waving Taehyung off.

Walking up the stairs towards Jeongguk's room made his heartbeat pick up so much that Taehyung, by the time he reached the door, was left breathless. He knocked on the wood a few times, realizing he hasn't visited Jeongguk's room ever since the other's been back. He used to come there a lot while Jeongguk was away, sometimes even spending a few days in that room but, during the years, the familiar scent that comforted him disappeared so Taehyung stopped.

"Jeongguk?" He asked, pressing his ear on the door in order to check if the other was inside.

He couldn't hear anything so he slowly pressed the handle, opening the room and entering. There was no one inside but the bathroom door was open so, with slow steps, Taehyung walked towards it, pushing it a little.
