All It Takes Is One Step | Yoonmin

Chapter 16

I bought a new wallet and I'm so happy it came out okay 🥰

New chapter early because the previous one was unsatisfyingly short and this one is pretty short and uneventful too. Plus, I wanted to show off my wallet~~

***

Whenever it came time for school the next day, I didn't happily anticipate Yoongi coming in from his morning practice like I usually would. Instead, I dreaded it.

I don't want to see him today.

"Hey."

I jumped, initially thinking that Yoongi had snuck up on me like usual. Whenever I turned around though, it wasn't him. It was his friend, Seokjin.

"Um...hi." I mumbled, immediately feeling extremely awkward since he probably saw that picture.

"Yeah, let's just get the elephant in the room talked about and gone, okay? I saw the picture. That's what I wanted to talk about." He said as he sat down next to me sideways in the chair, leaning back on the bar holding the table to the chair as he frowned at me. "And based on your reaction, he didn't have permission to do that."

"No." I mumbled softly. "He didn't."

"And you're upset?"

I nodded, avoiding his gaze.

"Rightfully so." He said with a smile. "Don't worry, honey. I'm the only one that saw it. I made him delete it before anyone else did."

"I don't understand why he did it in the first place though..."

Seokjin sighed, like he was wondering when I would ask. He ran his fingers through his hair a bit exasperatedly, before he gave me a bit of a forced smile.

"Well, prior to all of the 'alpha males' getting mates, they fucked around a lot. Hoseok, Taehyung and Jungkook all fell in love in a cliché clique of romance one night, and Namjoonie and I presented as mates whenever I turned eighteen, and I hunted him down and practically jumped on his dick, telling him that I could smell that he was my mate. Of course, he called me crazy for awhile, but he liked the sex and stuck around, until his birthday came about eight months later and he realized I wasn't lying. Yoongi, however, has not found someone to love aka is too fucking scared to ask out the one he loves, so he fucks around."

"...Oh."

Seeing my sad expression, Seokjin softened his and mumbled, "What's wrong, pup?"

Pup.

"Um...please don't call me that..." I mumbled. He looked curious whenever I told him not to call me pup, and being a brash person, he asked.

"Why not?"

"U-Um..." I averted my gaze. 'W-Well--"

"Pup is my nickname for him."

I tensed up immediately whenever I heard Yoongi's voice behind me. Followed by a hand on my shoulder and a little growl, Yoongi moved towards Seokjin.

"Why are you talking to him again?"

"Do I need permission to talk to him?" Seokjin asked with a little, cocky smile. "Considering the way you acted this morning during practice, and the way Jimin is acting, I really don't think you have any right to be jealous or possessive, honey."

I tensed up whenever Yoongi snarled lowly at Seokjin, unsure of how far the alpha would go if he decided that Seokjin was some kind of threat or nuisance.

"Don't talk to my omega and don't talk to me like a damn know it all, do you hear me?" Yoongi spat menacingly, but Seokjin seemed unphased.

"Why are you talking to my mate that way?"

I looked up whenever a new voice joined the conversation. Probably Namjoon, the man that Seokjin had said was his mate. Seokjin gave Namjoon an innocent smile and stood up, completely brushing off Yoongi's low growls as he went to go and take his self designated place on Namjoon's arm.

"I was just having some fun teasing Yoongi and the new puppy. It was too tempting." Seokjin said innocently as he stood on his toes to reach Namjoon's lips, placing a little peck on his lips to try and woo over the annoyed alpha.

"Right." Namjoon grumbled, wrapping his arm around the omega. He gave Yoongi a warning look, before he led Seokjin away from us. And just to pour salt on the wound, Seokjin looked over his shoulder at Yoongi with a smirk and winked, knowing it would make the alpha's blood boil.

"That asshole--" Yoongi hissed under his breath.

I avoided looking at Yoongi, and tried to tune him out.

"Hey."

Ignored.

"Hey." He repeated, leaning down over my shoulder to make me look at him. I turned my head towards the window to avoid his gaze though, which seemed to annoy the alpha.

"Fine." He grumbled. "Be that way. I wanted to apologize, but if you want to be a bitch, then fuck it."

"I think I have every right to be a bitch to you right now." I retorted softly.

He let out a quiet growl, before he stormed away to go be angry somewhere else. I let out a sigh of relief whenever he was gone, but not long later, he was back with a flower that looked like it came from a wild patch in the courtyard.

I gave him and his flower the once over, and turned my head away.

I ignored him, even whenever he quietly whined for my attention.

"Baby I'm sorry. Please don't be mad anymore." He pouted, grabbing my hand and placing an ugly wild flower in my hand.

"If you didn't want me to be mad, then you shouldn't have done it in the first place." I mumbled, and dropped the flower. Yoongi watched the flower fall to the floor with a pitiful frown, before he let out a quiet growl and stormed away again.

He came back a few more times with little things. Strawberry milk, a bag of chips, some more random flowers and some candy. But each time, I would ignore the little gift. But he would leave them on my desk and go to get something new each time, like he thought he would eventually find something that would catch my eye. Soon enough though, the bell rang and he couldn't go fetch anything else. And I finally got some peace.
