How To Be An Alpha

Step 16

Seokjin stood up, taking his seat back besides Namjoon and giving Jungkook a look. Just stay calm.

"Jungkook-ah, we need to know, please. What happened with Taehyung a moment ago?" Namjoon asked, keeping his tone as soft and understanding as possible, he still had a headache from earlier.

Jungkook looked around the room and saw everyone's eyes filled with concern. He sighed, fisting the long sleeves of his sweatshirt, a habit of his in order to not hurt himself. He sighed and looked down for a second.

"Taehyung and I were in the kitchen. We've been having these moments recently."

"What kind of moments? Yoongi asked, already having a guess to his answer.

Jungkook tried to hide his face and he had no idea why he was feeling so flustered. "I don't know myself. The first time I met him, I thought he was some kind of intruder. I grabbed him, but the moment he turned around, something happened. There was this strong scent. It was so alluring, like nothing I've smelled before and for some reason, I just wanted to have him closer. I panicked so I let go of him."

"Obviously you did. And here I thought your fear of pretty people had disappeared." Yoongi commented, earning a small giggle from Kijung.

"Ki! Why are you laughing? You're supposed to be on my side. I'm your older brother!"

"Sorry, oppa, but he didn't lie though."

"Okay, right now's not the time. What happened next?" Seokjin looked more concerned now.

"I—I, well… after that, we barely saw each other, but every time we did, things would just be awkward. The scent from the first time wasn't there anymore except for when I got closer, but it still wasn't anywhere as strong as before. After that, something changed…" He trailed off with a scratch of his neck.

"What changed?"

"Well… he was the one who changed first, just to make things clear. He started to talk to me more and every time it looked like he was trying to flirt with me, but I couldn't understand why he was doing that, so I kind of brushed it off."

A loud laughter interrupted him and everyone turned to look over at Yoongi, who was leaning over, clutching his stomach as he laughed. It was so sudden, it gave everyone goosebumps.

"Oh, Christ! That's such a Jungkook thing to do!" He kept laughing, this time joined by the barely controlled laughter of Namjoon and a pout began to form on Jungkook's lips.

"Hyung!"

Yoongi kept laughing, everyone having joined him at some point with the exception of Jungkook. "Oh, come on! Tell me it isn't true! You completely disregarded the poor boy's attempt of flirting with you. You are as oblivious as always. Seriously." He said, now more calmed, a wide smile still lingering on his lips.

The younger alpha kept pouting, scoffing and crossing his sleeve covered arms. He looked like a child and he knew it.

"Come on, you're turning twenty-seven soon. Stop acting like a child."

Jungkook scoffed again.

"Alright, alright everyone. Let's stop. Jungkook's feeling hurt." Seokjin pressed a hand to his mouth trying to hide his smile.

"No, I'm not!"

"Fine, you aren't. But please, continue."

"You only want me to talk." He kept pouting.

"We're sorry, okay? Now, please, keep going, we don't have all night. Or more like, Taehyung might not."

At the mention of the younger alpha, the room fell silent again and Jungkook stopped pouting. His posture stiffened and he let a few seconds pass before opening his mouth again.
