Chapter 12 - Expectations

After spending time with Jungkook— Taehyung will dare to call it a date— they walk out of the cafe as the omega watches the people bowing their heads down to the head alpha and as humble his mate his the alpha bows back waving his hand at a few who enthusiastically wave at the older.

"So, Taehyung-shi," Jungkook smiles and Taehyung finds himself melting in a saturated puddle with just the fact that how softly his mate calls out his name, "I'll be off now, I hope you take care of yourself and reach home safe and sound."

"Umm," Taehyung hesitates a little pushing his toes down to the ground and he stands on his tiptoes anxiously, "can I accompany you to the airport too?" He blinked his wide teary eyes towards the head alpha watching as the Sir tongued his inner cheek. "I just wanna stay as long as I can with you." He pouts. "Please?"

It gets Taehyung a little jittery when the older man leans forward, the alpha's lips almost brushing against his ear and the warm puff of breath makes him shiver. "How the hell am I supposed to decline you when you look at me like that?" Jungkook whispers, voice so baritone and rich that he has to swallow down a pathetic mewl.

"So this look does work on you, huh?"

"Don't get too ahead of yourself already."

Taehyung just giggles as he goes in to open the car door when the alpha's hand is already on the handle, he looks up at Jungkook, confused.

"Let me." Sir says as he parts open the door and sways his arm his streched fingertips pointing towards the inside of the car. "After you, Taehyung-shi."

With his head swimming with the thoughts of being treated so importantly by the pack's most important person Taehyung just smiles as he steps inside, shifting his way towards the other side, eyes on the ravenette as he slips in too.

There is a slight poke over Taehyung's thigh and he goes in to touch the bulge in his pocket, remembering just as immediately that he has the older's room keys in there.

"Uh," Taehyung licked over his lips watching as the curtain that parts the backseat from the front seats automatically slid together meeting in between sectioning himself and Jungkook from the driver and Namjoon in the front.

"Yes?" Jungkook raises his eyebrows unbuttoning his first button and adjusting his collar around his neck with a low grunt, eyes pinching close as comfortably leaning back with his legs spread apart.

Taehyung should really try to keep his mind pure and holy, he desperately needs to visit the shrine of Moon Goddess to ask forgiveness for all the polluted thoughts he has had just because he witnessed the head alpha get comfortable.

"So, umm," he clears his throat, sighing deeply, "I'm allowed to visit your room, right?"

"You're even allowed to stay back." Jungkook says it as casually as if his words didn't send Taehyung into an internal malfunction.

"Stay in your room?"

"Stay in the room we're gonna share in future."

The immediate blush is not what Taehyung wants right now, so he forces the butterflies away. He bites down his bottom lip fidgeting with his uniform jacket. "But hyung said that I'll be evaluated by him to see if I'm worth enough to be your Luna." He pouts for the nth time. "It honestly pissed me off, why this partiality? Just because I'm an omega? Am I being belittled for my rank?" He adds with a huff.

"You're completely taking out the wrong meaning of it, Taehyung-shi," Jungkook sighs as he meets the omega's accusing stare, "it's just… it's really not easy, I believe in you, yes, but it's going to really difficult to establish your place as your own person."
