How To Be An Alpha

Step 14

"This is a lot of food. You really didn't have to, Ki."

The girl looked over at her brother, as she set another plate on the table. She smiled and rubbed her hands over her apron.

"I didn't do it alone, though. Namjoon oppa and Taehyung oppa both helped me."

As she turned around, the two alphas' came in, each holding a tray and placing them on the table.

"Namjoon hyung? He knows how to cook?" Jungkook chuckled as the two males took a seat.

"Watch it, Kook. I may not be the best chef, but I won't give you food poisoning. I still need you alive. You pay me, after all."

Jungkook looked indignant for a moment. He was about to respond, when Kijung lightly shoved at his shoulder, giving him a reprimanding look.

"Oppa, be nice. Both of them did a good job. You should be thanking them." She pouted and Taehyung had to remind himself that she wasn't as innocent as she appeared to be.

Jungkook laughed. "Fine, fine. Thanks. To the two of you... I guess." And he didn't sound so sure, but Taehyung couldn't find it in himself to mind. It was the first time he'd seen Jungkook laugh so carelessly and he liked that look on him.

He smiled bashfully, not understanding why his heart suddenly felt like it was beating a little faster than normal when he caught the older alpha smiling at him. Or at least, he thought it was towards him. A part of him wasn't believing it. Why would he smile at him that way? He must be imagining stuff now.

"Anyways, what's the occasion? You rarely cook this much." Jungkook turned to look at Kijung as she placed a napkin over her lap to not dirty her dress.

"Oh, nothing special. I just thought that since we haven't seen Yoongi oppa in a while, I would cook something. After all, he did come all the way here."

"That's nice of you, kid." Yoongi said as appeared through the dining room door.

"Talking about the guest of honor." Namjoon mumbled, as Yoongi made his way to an empty seat.

"It's nice to see you in person again too, Joon."

"Always, hyung."

"I'm glad you're doing fine, Yoongi oppa." Kijung said, cutting the silence.

"Same, Ki."

"Now that the greetings are over, tell me my phone still has battery." Taehyung suddenly mentioned, bringing all the attention to him.

"Don't worry, here you go." Yoongi took the phone from his pocket and slid it towards Taehyung.

The younger examined it, squinting his eyes as if he was looking for drugs on the device. "I swear to god, if you and Jimin did anything besides talking, with my phone over all, I will demand for a new one."

Yoongi chuckled. "I told you to stop worrying about it. We didn't do anything and your phone is as clean as it was when you gave it to me."

Taehyung glared at him suspiciously. Going through his messages and making sure there were no unwanted pictures or messages in his chat log.

"You two know each other?" Jungkook's voice took him out of his inspection and that's when he remembered, they were still in Jungkook's house and he apparently was the new one around.

Taehyung panicked for a second, feeling the heavy gaze of the alpha falling upon him. "Uh..."

"He's my boyfriend's best friend. You remember Jimin, right? He's his so-called soulmate and cockblocker." Yoongi sounded disinterested in the conversation, almost as if he just wanted it to end and get to the samgyeopsal that Kijung had prepared.
