How To Be An Alpha

Step 13

It had been three days since Taehyung had been more or less stuck inside the Jeon residence. The storm had gone on non-stop for almost four days and no matter how big the house was, Taehyung was beginning to feel claustrophobic.

Classes had been cancelled until the storm passed and Taehyung was trying to keep his mind occupied. Most of his time, he was looking for ways to do something productive. At first, the solution was the most obvious one. He was stuck there because he had to tutor Kijung in the first place, so that's exactly what he was going to do. Kijung was really a sweet and charismatic girl. It wasn't boring around her, but even for a student as dedicated as her, studying all day wasn't going to be an option either.

The remaining time, he tried to spend with both Kijung and Namjoon whenever the elder had time. He was almost always locked inside of Jungkook's studio with the other alpha discussing god knows what. During that time, the girl had pretty much given him a tour of the house and he was sure he knew where almost everything was. At least getting lost wasn't something to worry about anymore.

The two of them were really trying to make their time worth it. They did every indoor activity they could come up with, but even like that, Taehyung had never felt time pass as slowly as for the past three days. Hell, he had even started to get along with some staff around the house. Apparently, the older maids loved his personality and even a few of the body guards and other male staff around the house had taken a liking to him. He was just so easy to get along with.

As for Jungkook, he had barely seen him throughout the past three days, despite practically being in the same house 24/7. According to Kijung, it wasn't rare for him to spend almost all day locked inside his office working.

"Jungkook oppa is a workaholic. I get he's just doing his job, but sometimes I miss him. I can't complain though. Everything he's ever done has been for me and I can never find a way to thank him for it. I love him so much." Kijung had confessed one afternoon when Taehyung had accidentally said his thoughts aloud.

The painful smile that spread across the girl's face was something that made his heart clench inside his chest and he remembered all the times he had seen his younger siblings hurt. He hated seeing them cry and had always made it his priority to be there for them no matter what. Seeing Kijung sad gave him the same feeling and he honestly couldn't hold himself back when he scooted closer and hugged her.

He knew it wasn't the most appropriate given their initial relationship, but seeing Kijung hurt was as painful as seeing any of his siblings crying. It was almost a reflex when he wrapped a gentle arm around her slim shoulders and he felt her stiffening before letting out a sob and her thin arms wrapping around him.

"I'm sure your brother loves you just as much. So please, don't be sad. We all care for you." He whispered, remembering how he would comfort his siblings, whispering sweet nothings into their ears and showing them how much their older brother loved them.

"Thank you, oppa. I care for you too."

After that, They went back to watching the movie. He felt a pang of guilt hammer through his chest as he glanced at the girl from time to time.

Despite the lack of interaction between the two, Taehyung couldn't lie and say he and Jungkook hadn't seen each other at all. Ever since his first night in the house and the whole scene they had in the kitchen, their meetings had been... interesting. Every time they saw each other, things always ended up with them pressed against the other, hot breath fanning over their lips and faces inches from each other. For some reason, there was no one around every time these things happened and more than once he had ended up with a boner over the elder.

What annoyed him the most, is that every single time, they had started off bickering. Jungkook was really a pain in the ass and Taehyung couldn't hold himself back whenever the man opened his mouth. He was just so cocky and eccentric and god did he want to kick him in the sack sometimes. The way he would purposely anger him only to start flirting with him and
touch him as freely as he wished. He hated the fact that every time he opened his fucking mouth the only thing he could hear was the elder pretty much contradicting him and mocking him on every single thing.
