Chapter 13 | Catching On

[Jungkook]

"So..." the voice of Jimin seemed to echo in the empty room. "How are we going to break them up?"

I looked at him in shock. "Hyung!"

"We can't just break them apart," Yoongi shook his head at the lengths Jimin was willing to take.

"But she's our mate," Jimin whined. "She shouldn't even be in a relationship with him." He spat the words as if it was the most disgusting thing in the world.

To be quite honest, in the deepest part of me, I also agreed with Jimin. She was our mate. If the universe decided that she was going to be a part of our pack, she shouldn't even be in a relationship with her finacé. I wasn't mad at her, no of course not! She's a human. She doesn't have the ability to find her mates as we do, we're luckier in that sense, so it's not her fault that she didn't know that her fiancé isn't her mate. I'm sure if we explain things to her properly, she'll understand, drop him and come to us. It's not a big deal...right?

"Yeah, but we can't go demanding things like that, right?" Taehyung questioned. "I mean, as much as it would hurt us, if she doesn't want to be with us we have to just accept it." Jimin gasped at Taehyung, as if he couldn't believe what Taehyung was saying. "I mean, it was a surprise to us that she's our mate. How much more surprised is she going to be? It's going to be hard for her to be with hybrids like us. I'm sure the humans that are in a relationship with hybrids are shunned."

Jimin opened his mouth to counter but then stopped. His ears flopped dejectedly. I could feel my ears dropping as well. 

Taehyung had a point. Would she even want to be in a relationship with us? We are hybrids after all. Just some half-human half-animal creatures that were created by humans for entertainment. Other humans would be disgusted if they figured out she was mated with us. Even though she works to help hybrids, helping hybrids and being in a relationship with hybrids were different. Helping hybrids was her job. And being in a relationship with hybrids... well, that's not something you can force. What's worse, she's already in a relationship with a person she wants to marry, how can we compete with that?

The possibility that she would reject us was being more and more likely as I thought about it and I could feel my heart about to rip apart. It was painful and we haven't even told her about our mate bond. If she really was going to reject us, I can only imagine how much more painful it would be.

Maybe it might be better to just let her live without knowing that she's our mate. That way, we can still find some excuse to be near her without getting rejected by her.

My ears twitched in anger when I heard Hoseok chuckling. How could he laugh in this situation? He should understand how dire the situation is.

"I'm sorry, but you guys are so cute," Hoseok chuckled. "I think her fiancé, might be our other mate. The one I was telling you about."

Yoongi laughed at us. I looked over to Jimin and Taehyung and both had their mouths wide open in shock and their eyes seemed to pop out of their heads. I probably looked the same.

"Wait, what?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Do you remember what I told you before? Outside?" Hoseok waited for us to say something but none of us did. "I told you that our other mate's scent was on Y/N-ssi quite a bit, meaning that they know each other. I also smelled his scent when he walked inside the arena to save us, and Y/N-ssi just said that her fiancé was leading the raid."

"Oh!" I gasped, understanding what Hoseok was talking about. "Our other mate is Y/N-ssi's finacé!"

"Really?!" Taehyung and Jimin gasped. 

"Most likely," Yoongi interrupted. "Hoseok thinks that's the case. But we won't know for sure until we meet her finacé. So we won't try to break her up with her fiancé... Well, until we know that her fiancé is also our mate. But if he isn't, then we'll think of something."

"No hyung," Hoseok groaned as he slapped his forehead. "That's not what we're going to do!"

Yoongi only shrugged. "Hey, I'm a lion hybrid. I like keeping my mates close to me. And I'm not going to stand to see my female mate marry another male who isn't one of my mates. Even Namjoon would agree with me."

Jimin nodded solemnly. "It's true, Namjoon-ie hyung would agree with Yoongi-hyung. I'm surprised that Namjoon hyung isn't a dragon hybrid. He gets slightly possessive."

"Slightly?" Taehyung asked incredulously. "Only slightly?!"

"What does that even have to do with our- you know what forget it," Hoseok shook his head in disbelief. "I give up."
