Jungkook was healing. It was slow, no doubt but it was still progress. His mind didn't torment him as much now and those voices didn't appear very often. All in all, it was good progress.

It's been over 5 weeks now since Jungkook had changed his therapist. He was now seeing doctor Cha Eunwoo, who was very good in his line of work and who made Jungkook feel like he was being heard. In these 5 weeks, it was safe to say that Jungkook has warmed up to doctor cha and was now looking forward to those therapy sessions. It felt good to talk about his past and his present. And doctor Cha would listen patiently, asking questions occasionally, providing Jungkook insights and methods to cope with his trauma and it was really helping.

The other good thing was his relationship with Taehyung. They have grown closer, in a sense. They didn't kiss after that first time, but the skinship between them increased gradually.

Before, Taehyung was hesitant in initiating skinship, though now, the Alpha would hug him out of the blue, or even go as far as to scent him occasionally. Though for the scenting part, the Alpha always made sure to ask for permission.

It was endearing to see an Alpha being so humble, asking for permission to scent his mate, when in the society that they live in, Alphas would never seek their partner's permission for such things. But Taehyung proved, time and again, that he was different. That he didn't just think of Jungkook as his property or an accessory.

The Alpha treated him like an equal and it clearly showed.

Though, there were times when Jungkook could sense something was wrong, like when the Alpha's scent soured whenever another Alpha even got a feet closer to Jungkook.

But Taehyung never brought it up and Jungkook didn't feel like he had a right to ask what it meant.

He did have an inkling though. The Alpha was possessive. It was his natural instincts. Or so Jungkook figured.

Though, Jungkook didn't think the Alpha was also super protective of him. Perhaps, that's why, even after the night had gone so terribly wrong, Jungkook felt so happy and so determined. A complete contrast to how he should actually be feeling.

Jungkook woke up groggily to the sound of a deep voice singing, with the smell of candles burning and bright lights.

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday my little bunny
Happy birthday to you

Jungkook felt his lips tilting up in a smile unconsciously, as his eyes fell on his mate who held out a small cake, adorned with a single lit candle as he sang the birthday song.

"Happy birthday my love", Taehyung smiled as he leaned in to press a soft kiss on Jungkook's forehead. Jungkook giggled at the appearance of the elder, who was dressed in SpongeBob pajamas. He glanced at the clock on his bedside table which read, 12:05.
