Chapter 16 - Perfect

Taehyung is almost stubborn not to open his eyes when he hears his phone ringtone go off, he just wants it to stop so he could continue his dream of getting kissed by his mate and someone was calling him making him almost wake up, it's obvious that he is utterly displeased with the fact.

Can't he have a little peaceful five minute nap he needs the most throughout the day?

When the phone silences he is happy with a little smile dancing on his lips but then he groans when the phone rings again, the sound of it seemingly getting louder by every passing second and (unfortunately) waking him up.

He swears he's gonna give an earful to whoever it is; reaching out for the phone he doesn't even glance at the contact name before just sliding up the button assuming it was Jimin since no one apart from him randomly video calls him.

"First of all, fuck you." He growls shuffling deeper into the sheets taking a deep breath of the scent that still was prominently wafting off the sheets. "You couldn't even let me have my very best dream I was having. No details but I was getting kissed by my mate, hehe, nothing new."

"Interesting." Not Jimin, definitely not Jimin. "Well, sorry for disturbing your dream, you could go back to it." A chuckle that makes Taehyung his eyes wide. "I was just checking in."

"Wait!" He screams before picking up the phone facing the horror of his life when he sees Jungkook's face but gets confused over why the alpha immediately looks away from the screen and then later he realizes that his half-naked (from above) body was on the screen so he is quick to leave the phone on the bed it facing the ceiling as he hastily searches for his shirt he had thrown away somewhere because it was uncomfortable to sleep in. "I'm so sorry!"

"Happens." Jungkook clears his throat. "But really, you can go back to sleep. I'll just text Namjoon that you'd be staying back." He offers again then goes silent for a few moments in which Taehyung is still struggling to find his shirt before he just gives up and jogs —just in his panties because the pants were uncomfortable too— to the closet sliding it open and snatching the first piece of clothing before wearing it, that's when the alpha speaks again. "I've texted Namjoon already, you can go back to sleep, Taehyung-shi." 

"No! Wait!" Taehyung is quick to run towards the phone before pointing to camera to his face looking down at the smaller frame of himself in the corner visibly cringing over how stupid he looks with his bed hair before he smiles up at the alpha who is dressed up in a perfect suit with hair sleek and styled. "I wanna talk to you." He shyly mumbles.

"Adorable." Jungkook chuckles, it looks like he is sitting in the car and when Taehyung looks out of the window he is surprised to see it's already dusk. "It's really good to see you getting comfortable already, I like the sight of my mate being in my bed after all these years I've been alone in it."

"Your scent…" Taehyung bites down his lips so glad that Jungkook isn't talking about his dream and him literally flashing his chest at the alpha so he is eager to keep the conversation busy, "it's really heady but nice."

"Nice enough to make you have a dream of us kissing, hmm?" Jungkook's tone is teasing and purely playful, he laughs too. "Eager you're."

Taehyung whines, hiding his face away from the camera only until his eyes are visible. "I was lying, I thought it was Jimin so every time I said something like that he would just cut the call and leave me alone." He lies showing his big innocent eyes wishing the alpha would just buy it anyway.

"I'll trust you then." Jungkook smiles before adjusting himself briefly looking out of the window before focusing back on the screen. "You should wear my clothes more often; you look so cute right now." It's pure endurance that Taehyung hears in the head alpha's voice.
