7.2 Restless bear, disappointed cat

He winks sleepily and manages to distinguish who is sitting on the bed. He purrs and grabs the slightly purple wrist. Taehyung turns his head and waits a moment before abruptly releasing his grip. Jimin lifts his head, confused and saddened by the reaction.

"Jungkook is outside. I was waiting for you to wake up before I left."

"Ah..."

"The inhibitor is on your nightstand. You should take it now or he's going to knock the rut out of you" Taehyung warns getting up. Dressed and groomed as if nothing has happened. Jimin feels his body trembling, that there are fluids coming out from between his buttocks. "Goodbye." he dismisses without further ado and leaves in a hurry, giving the impression that he is running away.

Jimin lies back on the bed and starts to run until he cries. He hides part of his face and his ears remain stuck to his skull, almost hidden by the abundant hair. First Taehyung doesn't allow him to kiss him, Taehyung leaves quickly, Taehyung doesn't even allow him to caress him a little. How depressing it is to feel so attached to someone who doesn't show the same.

Because that's the problem. While Taehyung does everything he can to hide his cravings, self-deception and more, Jimin has to have chosen him. Simple as that. The weight on the bed brings him out of hiding, he finds Jungkook watching him worriedly. The boy lies down on the bed and hugs him as in the jealousy that has happened so far. Jimin clutches him and sobs loudly.

Nostalgia.

Instinct.

Stupidity.

Attraction at first sight.

Whatever it is, he can't help but have it and make Taehyung be what he wants. Urging on the bear beastman's actions to feel complete and pleased. It's suffocating. It's so... depressing.

. . .

He feels his pocket dozens of times until he resigns himself: he left the keys in the Ragdoll beastman's apartment. Panicked and ashamed, he goes back the way he came, fortunate enough to have locked up wrong and to be able to get in. He doesn't find the keys on the table near the rooms. Out of curiosity he peeks in to see if Jimin has gone back to sleep. On the contrary, he finds him crying very audibly while hugging the Alpha wolf. Taehyung backs away and leaves in a hurry, stealth and nervousness. He closes the door tightly this time.

Once in his car he turns his head back. Taehyung is genuinely confused on what to do. On the one hand, his mind is determined to walk away and stop taking it as an option. Feelings, hormonal needs, whatever the reason, refuse to let any distance stand between Jimin and himself. How could he be capable of such a thing? However, feelings and a vivid romance is something to be avoided at all costs.

"It has been mentioned to me that you have a particular relationship with Jimin-sonsengnim."

"That's not the case."

"Umm. What a pity. I thought it was like that. He has until this year to choose a partner" Jin comments and Taehyung furrows his eyebrows a little. "Starting from his next birthday he'd have to go on dates with strangers to see which one is more compatible. If it's none, it'll be a mating fest and nothing ensures that Alpha will allow him to remain a teacher." concludes the panther. Staring fixedly and dedicatedly at Taehyung.

The external response is not visible. However, small details like the hormonal reaction, letting his scent come out; the tongue clicking and his obvious displeasure in his gaze speak volumes. Jin is hopeful that they will end up together. After all, Taehyung has never moved for anyone and Ragdoll cats have that quality: charming those who propose to be alone. Taehyung leaves the office and on his way to the teacher's lounge notices Jimin teaching. Whatever it is, he looks amused with his students passing the blackboard. They must be playing games.

Taehyung gives a slight smile at how excited and excited the Ragdoll is as he goes about his work. It's clearly a passion that makes him so happy...

They're not going to take it away from him. He's sure of that.

~ * * * ~

Taehyung has heard mixed rumors lately. From that there's a dreamy, multi-millionaire Alpha taking Jimin every day, to that Jimin has a new boyfriend who is no teacher at all. Taehyung hasn't seen him. All the time he gets him he's walking away. Taehyung assumes it's from those rumors like the alleged relationships with teachers. At the same time, the suspicion to his relationship with Jin has also come up again. Saying that he takes him to restaurants and that more than one has seen them having sex in the office.

Taehyung does not doubt the latter. If he saw them kissing, who knows what else they are doing there. Taehyung concludes that the polygamy and libertine sense of felines is something he doesn't understand. He doesn't like it either. He admits it's hypocritical, but having multiple sexual partners at once or even one for casual sex is disgusting. It's allowing something very intimate to a person who who who knows what they will do next.

His conscience keeps hammering at her that already if that's true, there's clearly something else involved with Jimin and that's why he insists on getting back together with him.

"What a deluge," comments Taehyung at the entrance. Several teachers hurry off to their cars. "Shall I drive them home? They're going to be two little wet animals if they try to go as usual." Jimin laughs through his nose. Jungkook wears pink raincoat with two pointed ears.

"No, thanks. I already have someone to come get me."

"Oh?"

"Thank you very much anyway Taehyung-sonsengnim."

Taehyung nods. He opens the umbrella and hurries to his car. Since the rain gets worse he stays there for ten minutes. Avoiding an accident or worse. On his way out he notices a flashy black car pulling into the parking lot. Through the rearview mirror he notices the pink dot and the blue dot getting into the car. His curiosity is piqued. Who is this person? He must be very wealthy to have such a car and what is his relationship with Jimin? Taehyung inadvertently scratches and damages the protection of the steering wheel by his claws.
