Chapter 26 - Stairs

Taehyung looks back through tinted back glass seeing the five lines of cars following theirs when they take a turn, he turns to Jungkook who is just typing something away on the laptop, occasionally taking a sip from his coffee that Taehyung had prepared for him in the morning.

"Quit staring." Jungkook says but he doesn't even look at Taehyung, still focused on the screen while taking a sip. "Talk about what's on your mind."

Yet again Taehyung looks back at the cars following them before sighing. "Why are they following us?" He asks.

"They aren't following us, they are here for protection." Jungkook answers, his eyes flicker back before he looks back to the laptop screen, creases forming between his eyebrows. "I mentioned I wanted ten cars. Namjoon said five would be enough." He sounds agitated, downright pissed that his words weren't followed. "If something happens to you, you must know that your brother will be joining you in heaven soon."

"I'm not gonna die, come on." Taehyung scoffs as he leans back onto the leather covered car seats. "I know to protect myself."

"I wish I could convince myself that." Jungkook lets out a loud breath. "Until then, you'd have guards around you protecting you, all of them are well trained and don't even try to trick them into running away." He finally looks at Taehyung and his eyes are sharp.

The alpha slaps his laptop close to his body, turning his body to the omega. "I swear on Moon Goddess, I'll go to any level just to make sure you're unharmed. I know you don't like being constricted and all but please deal with it until at least we mate." He crosses arms over his chest and Taehyung just mirrors his actions. "I just don't want to risk anything at all."

"I'm not going to be rebellious and run away and stuff like that." Taehyung pouts looking out of the window watching the buildings pass by. "I recognize the seriousness of the situation, I'll be on my best behaviour."

"Thank you, Taehyung-shi." Jungkook reaches out to pat over the omega's hair before rubbing his ear. "You look pretty today."

The compliment was sudden, so was the red that tints Taehyung's cheeks immediately. "When are you going to stop taking my name so formally?" He asked instead.

"You never told me you want me to stop being formal with you." Jungkook answers and Taehyung turns to look at the head alpha.

"Oh," Taehyung scoffs, "you weren't really being formal with me last night, now were you?" He puts forward the argument only for Jungkook to smile.

"What do you want me to call you then?" Jungkook asks instead of answering Taehyung, clearly avoiding the previously asked question. "After all, I'm supposed to just be completing your wishes for this one month." He shrugs and packs away his laptop in the bag.

Taehyung takes his time to think over it, swinging his legs back and forth, hitting the passenger seat giggling when Namjoon, who was sitting on the seat, eyes him clearly irritated.

The Sir chuckles over the interaction between the brothers and Taehyung looks at him, Jungkook only smiles. "Thought about it?" He asks.

"Can I answer after school?" Taehyung tilts his head. "I have so many things I want you to call me, but I need to choose the best." He huffs fist pumping in the air.

When the omega looks back at Jungkook he feels his cheeks burn again seeing how Jungkook just kept staring at him with a smile curled over the leader's lips.

"I can simply call you everything you want me to call you," Jungkook chuckles with a slight shake of head, "it's okay, just list them."

Taehyung giggles, swinging his legs again and Namjoon groans when his seat jerks but the omega pays no mind to his brother. "Can I list them out after school?" He asks instead, feeling his stomach burst with butterflies when Jungkook nods still smiling but it is wider now.
