Chapter 17 | Truth Revealed
[Seokjin]
My heart felt light as I went to visit Yoongi and the rest of his pack. There was a spring to my step as I got closer and closer to Namjoon's room where he was still recovering. I've gotten pretty close to the boys. The only thing that kept me from being even closer to the boys was Y/N.
I love Y/N to bits, but I have a feeling that she's avoiding them. And I don't know why, I can't understand it, but I have a feeling of sadness when I see her purposefully avoiding them. Especially since I see the dejection of the youngest three. Their shoulder seems to slump whenever they see Y/N purposefully leaving the room or not being anywhere near them. The older three, hid it better but I could easily tell that the six hybrids had some sort of special connection with Y/N.
I should be jealous. Knowing that there are hybrids who are so devoted to Y/N. But I couldn't find it in my heart to be jealous or hate the hybrids. Not at all. To me, it felt like it was normal. Almost as if it was meant to be this way. The hybrids, in the short about of time that they have been with us, I felt a connection with them. And I think they felt that way about me too. When I walked into the room, they smiled brightly at me. Their smiles were like the sun, so bright and so warm. They looked at me the way Y/N did. Like I was the most handsome-looking man in the world.
Just like all those times before, when I opened the door to Namjoon's private room, all six of the hybrids were there. Laughing and talking with each other. Their heads all moved in sync, and they gave me their biggest smiles.
"Hyung!" Jungkook exclaimed as he quickly rushed over to me, his ears flopping. He gave me a big hug, which I returned.
"Hey Jungkook," I smiled as I gave his head a pat.
"Hyung, have a seat," Yoongi said as he pulled up a spare chair.
I could see that all of them were looking at me very expectantly. So I did what they asked. I sat in the spare chair right next to Namjoon's bed. I could see that they were all looking very worriedly at each other.
"Did you guys want to talk to me about something?" I asked, cutting through the silence.
After a few moments of a silent conversation between themselves, Hoseok cleared his throat. "We have something very important to tell you and Y/N-ssi. But we can't seem to get her to stay in the same room with us long enough to have a conversation with her."
"Oh, I see," I couldn't help but reply solemnly. It seemed that I wasn't the only one who picked up on the fact that she was ignoring them. They had felt it too.
"We don't want to make her feel uncomfortable, but there's something that she should know," Yoongi spoke seriously. "It affects all of us."
My eyes immediately darted over to the six of them. A lightbulb went off in my head. "She's your mate," my voice was so quiet that I hardly realized that I had vocalized it. But the reaction from all of them told me that I had indeed spoken the words that I had thought.
"Don't hate us!" Jimin quickly interjected before I could say anything else.
"Well kinda," Yoongi said almost as soon as Jimin finished.
"What do you mean, 'kinda'?" I asked.
"We were going to tell you and Y/N together, but I guess the cat's out of the bag... that's the saying right?" Namjoon mused.
I couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah, that's the saying."
"Well, you're our mate too," Taehyung spoke up with a smile.
"All eight of us," Jungkook nodded in agreement.
"As soon as you walked into the arena, I knew that you and Y/N-ssi were our mates. We just had a stronger reaction to Y/N-ssi because, well, she's-" Hoseok began.
"A woman," I finished off for him.
"Yeah, we were trying to tell you both, but she kept ignoring us and avoiding us," Jungkook pouted, his long ears flopping down.
"Well, it's a good thing you have me as your mate," I said with a smug smile. "I'll get her to have a conversation with you guys. You can count on me."
"Really?" Jungkook asked, his smile coming back brighter than ever.
"I have a feeling I know what's happening with Y/N. And as much as I love that she's probably doing it for me, everything makes a little more sense now that I know that we are your mates," I said with a proud smile. "Chan told us a lot about the mating bond between him and his mates. And Y/N was always very curious about it, so I guess it's something that was inevitable." I chuckled.
"Thank you," Jimin responded very sincerely.
I pinched his cheeks as I cooed. "It's no problem really. I'll bring her around tomorrow. I know that she has a few appointments today with some other hybrids and she always needs some sleep and a nice bath after doing some surgeries, or else she gets pretty grumpy and grumpy Y/N is a Y/N that you guys definitely don't want to see," I slightly shiver at the thought.
All of them let out soft chuckles.
"But don't worry about it. If anything, she'll be more relieved than anything. I can promise you that," I reassured them. "Have a good night's sleep alright? Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite, and I allow you to have wonderful dreams of me."
They all smiled brightly before I bid them all goodbye and closed the door behind me. Now the hard part. Y/N was a surprisingly stubborn woman. And I needed her to stop avoiding the boys. Now that I know that we are all mated to each other, it was something that I needed to succeed in. Not for myself, but for the boys as well.
