How To Be An Alpha

Step 26

"Could you stop pacing around? Panicking isn't gonna help find Taehyung." Yoongi's eyes followed Jungkook, as the younger alpha kept walking from one side of the room to the other.

"What do you suggest we do then? This isn't getting us anywhere. I should be out there looking for him instead of waiting here doing nothing!"

After Jungkook had seen the car speed past him with who he was sure was an unconscious Taehyung in the passenger's seat, he didn't think twice before flooring the gas pedal and initiating what could only be described as a wild goose chase through the city. He followed the car from up close, getting in the way of many others, just hoping that getting Taehyung back unharmed would be worth the million traffic laws he'd broken.

The reenactment of fast and furious lasted what he was sure at least two whole rounds across several streets of the city before he ended up losing them when a giant truck came in between the two vehicles in an intersection. Jungkook had cursed every swear word he'd learn in his life as he knew for a fact that he lost that car for a few couple miles and it would be nearly impossible to catch up by that point.

After taking out his rage by hitting the steering wheel a few times, he turned around, immediately calling Namjoon and Yoongi on his way back to his office.

Yoongi was already waiting for him in his office as he hadn't left the company building yet, bombarding him with a series of questions about what in the sweet mother of Jesus had just happened. After a brief explanation, Yoongi had to more or less somehow convince Jungkook to wait in the office for Namjoon to arrive so they could come up with a plan. He knew the younger one was under way too much stress and the last thing they needed was for an unsupervised angry Jungkook with the power to make the world bleed to death set loose in the streets.

"Goddammit, kid, just sit the fuck down. Do you really think you'll be able to look for him in this state?"

"At least I'd be doing something!"

"And what if he sees you like this?! You and I both know what happens when you lose control over your emotions. You really believe you can calm down before he sees you?"

Jungkook paused. The room fell into total silence and his eyes widened a little as he processed the realization. His ears started to buzz slightly, his feet rooted to the ground as he felt himself spiral into the many possibilities.

Yoongi sighed, hating having to do this to him of all people, but if overstepping boundaries was what he needed to do to slap some sense into Jungkook, then he would rip the whole fucking fence to shreds if he needed to.

"Look, Jungkook-ah. I know you're worried about Tae, believe me I am too. I've known him for a while now and I know he's not a bad kid either. I don't want anything bad to happen to him either, but going in a blind rampage search is not the solution. We know you are not a monster, but we also know what you are capable of, especially when you can't control yourself. I will assume you haven't told Taehyung the whole truth yet either, have you?"

Silence.

"See? Listen, It's not my position to order you around. You manage your life how you believe it should. There's a reason I trusted you and joined your cause. I worry about you too and seeing you in this state is not something I enjoy either. So please, take a seat, try to calm down and take a hold of yourself. And for the love of god, spare my nose and my tongue some mercy because I feel like crying from your pheromones alone."

Jungkook snorted at that last sentence, making Yoongi smile, relieved that he could manage to at least bring him some sort of comfort.

"Christ, I don't think I can ever eat oranges again."
