Jungkook and Taehyung are soul mates and married. Yet, there is no love between them. Forced to marry by their families because of rules of society, they have been living a lie, webbed by their own hands.
Taehyung has forever been in love with his...

- After Jungkook had agreed to give Taehyung a chance, something shifted between them.
They had dinner together that day, and to be fair, it was awkward. Both the mates seem to be feeling differently about the situation. While Taehyung was super anxious about fucking things up, Jungkook was hesitant about opening up and maybe, a teeny tiny bit shy.
After dinner, they both agreed to watch a movie, and while they sat next to each other, there was some distance between them.
Jungkook may have been focusing on the movie, but all Taehyung could think about was Jungkook's warmth next to him. He wished he could just hold Jungkook in his arms, all cuddled up against himself, but then again, it was maybe too early for that. Baby steps Taehyung, baby steps.
So he settled with the promise that one day, he will make everything so right that Jungkook will wholeheartedly want to cuddle with him.
It was morning now, Jungkook fast asleep in Taehyung's bed.
No no, they didn't sleep together. After a lot of persuading, Taehyung had finally managed to persuade Jungkook to shift into his room. While the shifting part didn't happen yet, Jungkook still slept there.
Taehyung knocked on the door and opened it reluctantly, peeking inside to find his mate fast asleep.
He smiled, joyous because Jungkook seemed so content and peaceful, sleeping like a goddamn angel.
He walked slowly towards the bed, sitting down on the edge, the weight making the mattress shift slightly.
Jungkook looked ethereal lying there so peacefully, the black sheets underneath him only making his appearance more angelic. It was truly a beautiful sight.
For once, Taehyung couldn't help but notice just how beautiful his mate was. He felt humbled, knowing that this beautiful angel was somehow given to him as a blessing by the moon goddess. He was damn sure he didn't deserve it.
"Baby", Taehyung whispered, the baritone emitting a deep timbre.
Jungkook grumbled sleepily, hands fists on the blanket, pulling it higher against his chest to cover himself.
Taehyung was absolutely endeared by the sight. There was a warm fuzzy feeling erupting inside his chest and it made him feel all...happy.
"Jungkookie, hey", Taehyung tried to wake his mate up again, feeling a little guilty for disturbing the little angel's sleep.
"Hmm", Jungkook mumbled, eyes squinting open, struggling to wake up.
When Jungkook realized Taehyung's presence, he jolted awake, body shifting away from Taehyung.
"Hey, don't be startled. I'm sorry", Taehyung apologized almost immediately. This was not what he wanted. He didn't want to scare Jungkook like this.
"W-what are you doing ?", Jungkook asked, confused because Taehyung was in his work clothes, seemingly ready to go to work.
"Oh umm," Taehyung's cheeks reddened slightly, before he coughed to cover it up, "your manager called me. Said your phone wasn't going through. You have to be at the Bighit Publishing house in an hour. Something about the new book deal"
"Oh"
Jungkook scrambled to find his phone, wincing when he realized he had forgotten to put it on charger.
"Sorry. I forgot to charge it. I'll get ready", Jungkook replied, embarrassed as he got out of bed to head to the bathroom to freshen up.
"Baby wait", Taehyung stood up as Jungkook stopped.
"Hmm?"
Taehyung walked to his mate who looked like a deer caught in headlights. Hiding his smile, he pecked Jungkook's forehead, mumbling a soft, "goodmorning baby"
Jungkook was blushing now, his face all red and his ears even redder. Taehyung felt like his heart would burst with the way Jungkook looked so adorable right now.
Red suits Jungkook.(Undocile flashback anyone?)
"M-morning", Jungkook managed to squeak out and Taehyung couldn't help but let a small laugh escape him.
"I was wondering if you would like to go out with me today?", He mumbled, fond eyes taking in Jungkook's every feature. Those damn moles. Jungkook had so many moles on his face and neck. Taehyung couldn't help but wonder how it would feel to just map those moles out, preferably with his li-
"Out? Like dinner?", Jungkook asked, nose srunching and Taehyung couldn't help but peck it gently, making Jungkook let out a surprised squeak.
"Like a date baby. Would you let me take you on a date?"
Jungkook stared at those eyes of his mate, the one who was showering him with attention and endearments, treating him so softly that it made his heart rush.
He did say he would give Taehyung a chance, and perhaps he should start with this.
"Y-yeah. I would like that. Though, umm, I'm not sure what to wear. I-I haven't been on a date before", Jungkook lowered his eyes, extremely embarrassed right now.
Taehyung let a shocked breath. Huh? His mate, this beautiful gorgeous omega who looks like a fucking angel had never been on a date before? Were people blind like him that they couldn't see just how beautiful Jungkook was?
"Oh. You.. you really haven't been on a date before?", Taehyung asked again, clearly unable to mask his surprise.
Jungkook hid an amused smile at the way Taehyung's mouth was hanging open. Was it really that hard to believe?
"Yeah... I never dated and then I found you on my birthday so I couldn't date anyway"
"Oh", guilt showed in Taehyung's eyes now. Ofcourse, how can he forget that Jungkook and him had met on the omega's birthday.
"Well, would you let me be your first date then? ", Taehyung asked, gentle fingers lifting Jungkook's chin up to face him.
"Hmm. I'll love to", Jungkook replied, breathless by the gaze Taehyung was giving him. The elder had a smoldering look in his eyes, almost like desire.
Taehyung controlled his wolf who was yelling in his head to just kiss the omega, because even if Taehyung wanted to , he knew it was too early for that.
"Dress comfortably baby. I'll pick you up at 7pm. Have a good day at work", Taehyung whispered, his lips pressing against Jungkook's cheeks, right where a scar was, fingers lingering on his waist as Jungkook inhaled that intoxicating scent of his mate, making his knees weak.
Before he knew it, Taehyung was gone, and he was left standing in the middle of the room, heart racing wildly, cheeks aflamed.
He felt like squealing with joy, heart feeling all sorts of emotions, from shock to surprise to happiness. Yeah he was still bitter about the past and he has still not forgiven Taehyung, but that doesn't mean that these gestures didn't make his heart happy.
Maybe, this second chance won't be so bad after all.
