(on hold) WHEN THE STARS COLLIDE || TAEKOOK

09 | Rude Awakening

That night he didn't go back home. He still couldn't fathom the situation at all. Nothing made sense. What was happening? What did it all happen? What was the reason?

The moment he saw him leave with lingering fear in his eyes, he knew this wasn't going to be easy. Gawd, what did it have to be him out of everyone?

Why Taehyung?

He now understood that maybe his sudden curiosity towards him wasn't just his mind wanting to know more, it was his wolf trying to give him subtle signals. It was his wolf all along but he failed to take the hints.

Now what?

Honestly, he was lost in a dilemma. Which direction to take, which reins to take hold of? Life was unclear. He had two options on the table. One, mate Lisa and live his life with his father bringing him a new omega mistress every week that could miraculously bear his pups. Second. Mate Taehyung and take him in. Easy said than done for Taehyung could completely rebel, call him nuts and flip him off once again. It would be no surprise.

But he had picked his option already.

He was going to mate Taehyung, no matter what it takes.

The night rolled off rather quickly and Jungkook ran back to his pack after a night full of religiously thinking and planning to execute the perfect plan to mate Taehyung. It was more of a meticulously thought out, foolproof trap than an actual plan.

Once he reached his pack, he quickly navigated his way to his father's office to spill him the fresh, mind-blowing news.

"So, you're telling me you've been wanting to learn about him for some time now and last night you found out he's your mate?" His father stood up from his resting armchair, clasping his hands behind his back.

"Yes, that's right." He meekly nodded, head bouncing slightly.

"I'm sorry, what's his name again?" The alpha senior blinked his eyes in a series of rapid movements, squinting at his son sitting across the table.

"Taehyung. Kim Taehyung. He's 22, has a son already."

"Has a son already?" His father's ear perked up, a solemn frown resting on his forehead. His voice was rough and demanding.

"Yes. H-he actually mated this other guy and they had a child together." The ravenhead struggled to keep his voice intact, but couldn't help the crack that rippled through his throat.

"And that doesn't bother you?" The trueblood senior questioned, eyebrows shooting high.

"Should it?" He voiced confused, albeit in pretense, for he didn't want his father to pick the hesitance behind his taut voice.

His father snorted in response and shook his head in derision.

"He's your fated mate, Jungkook. He should've waited for you, no?" He peered at Jungkook like he was an object of scorn. "Speaking of which, you didn't wait for him either."

Jungkook's eyebrows pulled together in vexation. The fact that he held himself back from mating Lisa speak volumes about how much he was anticipating this night. It was no joke that he still had this tiny hope lingering in the back of his mind that his true mate would somehow show up, even on the eleventh hour of the night of his presenting, and funny enough he would drop down his guards and scoop him up in his arms, promising to cherish him forever.
