If there's one thing Jeongguk is good at,

Jeongguk would say...

"It's in loving Seokjin..."

It's in the way he claims it as his purpose,

In the way he devote his whole being to Seokjin, from the day he was born up to the days he'll live in the surface of the earth.

All of it.

And with heart and soul too.

It wasn't that hard anyways,

Because as lucky as he can be, Jeongguk is in a pack where it's an unspoken truth that Seokjin of the Kim's is for Jeongguk of the Jeon's.

It's not official but everyone claims it to be, everyone are expecting it to be,

Because in their pack Jeongguk is the only inheritor of the Jeon's-- the leader of the pack-- and the first born of the Kim's-- the Jeon's most trusted allies-- is Seokjin.

And they're the only two family who held the nobility to lead the pack, unsurprisingly they're the closest family in this pack too,

So it's only natural that the people of the pack and their parents are anticipating that it'll be them who'll become mates someday,

The mate who'll lead the pack for the next generation.

It's something Jeongguk had grown up at,

Something Jeongguk had look forward to,

'Cause it's easy to hold on to it, when everyone around you are fueling the fire of it.

So Jeongguk at the age of 6 is already too hung up on those thoughts, wanting nothing but to grow up so fast and chase his Seokjin hyung,

He's too hung up, that he always refuse being the parent in the play house Jimin and Taehyung always wants to play.

He would always tell them pridefully that: 'I'm not going to be your mate and we're not going to have puppy! My only mate is Jin-hyung!'

On a lot of times his playmates would just sigh at that, they laugh at him before but now they can only sigh because it's a truth everyone believes in, at least in their pack.

But sometimes,

"Yah! Kookie! if he's really your mate take him here! And ask him to be one of the parents! Jin-hyung is big enough he can carry those woods and make us a better house!"

"Yah! Taehyungie! Why do you always complain! And why would you make my mate carry woods?!!--"

"Because--"

"Can't you two just shut up?!!" The small Jimin snapped throwing the woods he had carried--all by himself,-- on the ground, "Both of you aren't carrying any wood anyways!"

He's really pissed,

They're trying to build a small house, made out of woods and the two of his friends aren't helping and bickering instead.

"This is all Taehyung-hyungs fault!"

"No! It's your fault! You're so picky, but you can't even take Jin-hyung here!"

"I'm not picky! Jin-hyung is just--" Jeongguk paused "...he's just..."

"Just what? Just not your mate?" Taehyung mocked even more.

"He is my mate!!! I'll show you! I'll take him here!" Jeongguk shouted.

He's too angry, very angry that he hadn't even pay attention on how he's marching so hard and fast just to leave his playmates and go straight to the Kim's house.
