After throwing all the robes in the wooden laundry basket, he feels like he could pass out but he needs to dry his hair so he sits on the side of his bed. His hair is almost dry, not dripping wet anymore so he can fairly dry them fast. He doesn’t know when and how but he dozes off while drying his hair. He’s woken up by a gentle call of his name with an equally gentle push on his shoulders.

“-ungkook? Jungkook, you should sleep. Come on, lay down.”

He feels the alpha take the towel from his hands lay him down on the bed and cover him with a soft blanket. He buries his face into the warm fuzzy sheets when he feels his cold nose rub into the soft furs. He scrunches up his face when he feels wet droplets on his face, followed by a chuckle from above.

“Lord Taehyung, you shouldn’t be so rude to a tired person.”

Jungkook mumbles sleepily, a little incoherent but Taehyung makes the words out just fine.

“My apologies My Prince, please go back to sleep.”

The voice's soft and low, deep soothing melody makes him hmm and doze off a little, he feels the alpha slip into the sheets beside him, the body heat radiating off of him stirs Jungkook into awareness that Taehyung is sleeping beside him, the information makes his body tingle with anticipation.

“Jungkook? Are you awake?”

He hears a whisper from beside him, if he were asleep he wouldn’t be able to hear it, since he’s awake he knows the alpha wouldn’t have said it if it wasn’t important.

“Yes, Taehyung?”

Jungkook asks, for some reason he feels coy, as though this is something very intimate, the realization makes him squirm that it indeed is quite intimate where he’s sleeping beside Taehyung in his bed, sharing the sheets.

“As it’s our wedding night, I need to mark you before tomorrow.”

Jungkook’s breath hitches.

He had thought about it but amidst the chaos of the wedding, it had slipped his mind that the wedding rituals indeed have the process of alpha marking his omega on the wedding night, it’s a must to seal their marriage and bond. It takes place during the mating ceremony where the alpha gets sexually intimate with his partner and bites them on their neck, preferably close to the scent gland.

“W-what?”

Taehyung had not kissed Jungkook because he wasn’t ready, so he doubted the alpha would have sex with him. He hears the older chuckles beside him surely indicating that whatever Jungkook thinks he knows and is not correct.

“Do not worry, we do not need to proceed with the mating ceremony but we do need the marking ceremony to seal the marriage.”

“O-ohh how would that work though?”

“I need to lay a temporary claim on you daily until I can permanently claim you.”

The words are uttered in a deep low voice which sends a lick of shiver up Jungkook’s spine, his chest feels tight and warm, there furl of butterflies in his stomach going wild, and feels a strange tingly sensation on his crotch.

“Ahh.”

Jungkook makes a realization noise, he feels as though the alpha has gotten closer somehow, feeling his warm breath. Jungkook turns his head to look at him and the alpha is leaning on his palm supported by his elbow on the bed.

“Sure, it’s important to seal the marriage a-after all.”

Jungkook says, low and shy. The words uttered as the flush creeps up his face, the smile on Taehyung’s face tells him. Somehow, in the dark, the alpha has seen his blush.
