"Jimin-ie," Taehyung sighs, rolling over his bed and giggling, "my mate is so freaking precious I don't know how a man like him can even be mine?" He squeals, his eyes looking over the empty space in the wall full of paintings. His mate had chosen one he liked and left with it.

Taehyung's gift was their first trade of courting. An omega was the first one to initiate a courting proposal in the world full of alphas pursuing the omega of their liking.

It just filled Taehyung with pride, making him realize he was capable of being the first one to pursue.

"Sir does have some good luck to have you as his mate," Jimin chuckles and Taehyung laughs along with him, "I mean Sir must have saved a whole planet in his last life from him to have a mate like the Kim Taehyung!" He exclaimed and the blonde was so sure Jimin was probably moving his hands around as if narrating a dramatic story.

"You're flattering."

"You're worth being flattered, Luna."

Taehyung immediately flushes at the title, fisting the sheets as blood seems to rush at a quicker speed through his veins. "Don't." He mumbles. "Makes me feel so weird." 

"You need to get used to it." Jimin laughs. "The whole pack would be calling you Luna and outside the pack you'd be called Luna Jeon." He sighs and Taehyung can hear a ruffle of sheets. "I'm just so… I don't know, I just feel overwhelmed. Like my stupid best friend is going to be the most respected in the span of next two months."

Hearing such words from Jimin made Taehyung close his eyes, basking in the emotional warmth that made his heart soar and a pin prick of burn ignite the corner of his eyes with the sting of tears.

He doesn't really know about Jungkook but he surely must have saved a whole world to have Park Jimin in his life.

"You're making me tear up." Taehyung sniffled, he sat up and drew random circles on his thigh. "It's just so unrealistic. I feel like living a fairytale." He inhales deeply. "Honestly, I'm a little scared."

"I think you should have this talk with Namjoon hyung." Jimin suggests. "He would help you, he's your mentor after all, right?"

"Yeah, I guess." Taehyung licked over his lips. "We ate an ice-cream on the way back. It was an apology from him."

"Good that he apologized but you know he was just doing his work, you're his brother no doubt but he has other responsibilities too, Tae." Jimin whispers, sounding almost as if was hesitant with every word he said. "He is the advisor of the pack and he is supposed to be someone that would also be a part of readying you to be the Luna and considering the friendly bond he shares with Sir, I think he was valid." 

"Sir also gave me an explanation, I thought I was being belittled for my rank but Sir said it wasn't what I thought it was," Taehyung rambles moving his one hand in the air freely while the other hand had a tight clutch of his phone near his ear, "Joon hyung was just being cautious and concerned."

"Yeah," Jimin laughs, "just have a talk, I have to help my mother to prepare a monthly stalk of kimchi, we'll meet tomorrow at school." 

"Okay!" Taehyung giggles hearing Jimin's mother yell his best friend's name telling him to hurry up. "Bring some kimchi to school."

"Sure, I'll help you gain weight." There is a mock tease in Jimin's voice. "What if Sir's into chubby omegas? The chubbier you're the bigger tits you have, ohh also a bonus fat ass." 

"Jimin, I'll kill—" Taehyung huffed looking at his phone where Jimin just hung up. "He better bring some kimchi." He grumbled. "Asshole."

Leaving his phone on the bed Taehyung walked out of his room trudging down the hallway to reach Namjoon's room that's at the very end, reaching in front of the door he is about to knock when he heard his name.
