Seokjin

The morning was tense. With just Mr. and Mrs. Jeon and him. Yoongi was still asleep. His alpha came really late at night (obviously after he had fallen asleep), which he was partly thankful for, because he didn't want the other man to see him cry.

He felt sick. After his manager had hung up the phone, he texted several times, asking for clarification and requested to send the money he was owed. He hadn't gotten paid for 3 months, and whenever he'd ask, his manager had said after the photoshoots, or the model gig and it was just a cycle like that. Now, he has 10,000 won left, most of the money he previously had was what he saved, either from starving himself or working part-time jobs. When he returns to Seoul, he might as well have to find another part-time job.

Jungkook was still in his room, judging from the way it was shut. He felt bad for the younger Alpha. The entire situation was terrible, being forced to marry someone with no choice. Hearing the Alpha's parents criticize him about the matter during the morning didn't quell his sympathy for Jungkook any less, especially after taking in the bits and bits of the younger's life – the man abandoning his dream of becoming a singer, doing a job just because his dad demanded that, and now marrying someone his parents wanted. No wonder Yoongi felt guilty and sorry. Still it didn't feel right having his Alpha and the other Omega, Hoseok, try and convince Jungkook even after knowing the little freedom the younger man had.

He closed his eyes at the breeze, relaxing in his chair. The sun shined bright, however the weather seemed perfect – not too chilly, not too warm. Just perfect, surprisingly unlike the disaster last night. The sound of the door sliding has him turning around. It was Yoongi, looking fresh, giving him a smile.

"Good morning, baby."

He laughs. "Good afternoon. Had a good sleep?"

Yoongi hugs him from behind, kissing his temple, and nods. "Yes. Wanna head out today?"

"Of course."

"Great, Hoseok suggested we can go to the lake house."

"The lake house?" he asks, peering at his Alpha in confusion.

"Yeah, we can all go. To relax, have fun. Play games. Jimin, Taehyung. Jungkook. I mean I will have to convince him, of course, knowing he is still angry after last night, but it won't hurt to ask him."

"Sounds great!" Maybe relaxing somewhere else will help him think less about the mess his manager dangled in front of him, as well as not deal with the tense atmosphere in the house. "I will go pack." He quickly gets up, gives a kiss to Yoongi's cheek and strides toward the house, letting the Alpha follow behind him.

...

Jungkook

He groans. Covering his face with a pillow. The knocks on his door have been constant. NONSTOP. And he knew who it was. Yoongi, who else. It reminded him of earlier days, where he was the one knocking whenever his brother had been cooped up and angry in the room. It felt like Yoongi was trying to make up for all those instances. He lets out a growl. He had a headache and this was not helping. He struggles to get up, but once he does, he opens the door with a glare. "What?"

There, his brother was standing with a smug smile. "Hey."

"I don't want to talk to you," he responds, ready to shut the door, however, his brother quickly places his feet at the door, stopping it from closing at his face.

"I know. I know. I'm sorry about yesterday. How about we forget about all that?"

"Easy for you to say, not like you are being told to marry someone yo-"
