MATE •/tk/•

5

Jungkook put an ointment on his bruised wrist and caressed it slowly. It wasn't that bad, but still had redness around it. The imprints of his alpha's long fingers were prominent on his pale skin.

Jungkook looked at the wall clock placed in his living room and watched as it ticked ten. It was past the time Taehyung usually comes to his apartment and jungkook wondered why.

He already had his dinner which was just instant rice with leftover kimchi. He placed back the ointment in the first aid box and layed lazily on the couch leaving the box lie on the table. He put on the tv, changing the channel to one that broadcast his favourite drama.

He watched as the main lead of the drama giving a huge bouquet of roses to his lover, their eyes interlocking with eachother and the whole world stoping around them. He rolled his eyes, thinking how much of a fake was that. He was an addicted drama lover months ago, but currently he can't even understand the reason why it felt uninteresting.

" This won't happen in real life buddies." He talked to the lovers who are still stuck in their world. His longing eyes glanced at the couple for some more minutes and he sighed.

Sometimes this can happen in real life too. He has seen plenty of proposals in his college, handsome alpha's offering bouquets larger and expensive than the one that used in these dramas. Maybe by receiving those, their loved ones must have felt world freezing for them, just both of them in their happy nest.

With a sad sigh Jungkook switched off the tv and layed on the couch. He is no more in a mood to watch the drama. His mind went back to Taehyung, his mate, whom he met unexpectedly on the road side just months ago. Was Taehyung happy that day? Jungkook didn't know. He was in too much happiness that he failed to notice his alpha's reaction.

" Of course he was happy. That's why he offered to drop me in my apartment. If he wasn't happy or never wanted me, he must have said that right away." Jungkook eased himself. His alpha is someone who is so upright, he won't think twice before voicing his thoughts out. Even though Taehyung's blunt character hurted Jungkook a lot, he loved that trait of his alpha because atleast he won't be left in blindness.

Personally Taehyun is not someone who likes to talk much. Jungkook understood that from the very first day when Taehyung stood before him awkwardly to form some words with him. Taehyung wasn't not at all used to it and whenever he opens his mouth to say something it would be so straight and unacceptably blunt.

Other than that, Taehyung is exceptionally rich, he can say. The whole demeanour the alpha holds screamed his wealthy background. The car that Taehyung owns was super luxurious, and jungkook was sure that it worth a fortune. Not only that, his whole attire and articles were all branded items which Jungkook had never even heard off.

Talking about that, what is Taehyung actually doing? Is he any kind of young master? Or does he have millions worthing job? Taehyung never talked about any of that before.
" When are you going to talk freely to me Taehyung? Don't you know that it is needed in a relationship?"

He glances over to the wall clock and frowns a little. It was already past 11. " Won't he come back today? Then can't he just inform me beforehand-" a sudden realisation make him shut his mouth nervously.

Even after being together for two months, he doesn't have Taehyung's number. He gulps when a load of unwanted thoughts creep into his mind, thoughts that are not so good about their relationship. What kind of relationship have couples without any contact? Why Jungkook didn't realise that he never had Taehyung's number with him?

After their first meet, Taehyung used to crash at jungkook's more often. He would inform Jungkook if he couldn't make any of the days and jungkook thought it was acceptable. They never talked much when they were together in the house, so Jungkook never felt like he wanted to talk to him when they are away. Moreover Taehyung must be hella busy during days.

It's the first time that Taehyung not informing his absence and jungkook felt it odd and unacceptable.
" What are you doing Taehyung?? You are worrying me" he mumbled under his breath and continued to wait for his alpha.

Jungkook wondered whether Taehyung knows anything about Jungkook, his life, his childhood, his studies and all. They never had a conversation about that because of Taehyung's uninterested behaviour towards those matters. So just like Jungkook, Taehyung must be unaware about his life.

"D-don't he have to know about me?" Jungkook bit on his lips. These thoughts never crossed his mind before because Taehyung was always with him. But now without Taehyung being beside him his heart ached badly. What if Taehyung doesn't want to know about him?

That night Taehyung didn't came back. Jungkook waited for his alpha night long. He couldn't help but cry at sudden suspicions that invaded his mind. He felt so hurt and lonely. His mind was restless, unable to contain a life without Taehyung. He trembled in his sleep wanting to feel his alpha's scent around him. And without his notice Taehyung had already became a major part of his life.
