4: mates

Taehyung stirred awake, pulling in the blanket closer to keep him warm. He opened his eyes, blinking a few times before he noticed the familiar room of his bestfriend.

He sat up, rubbing his eyes when he heard the bathroom door click open.

"Oh! You are up."

Taehyung looked up at Jimin and smiled lazily, "yeah. Morning."

"Good morning. How are you feeling now?" Jimin asked while drying his hair.

Taehyung frowned at the question before the memories of yesterday came flooding in his mind. Class, cleaning, Jungkook, breakdown.

His eyes widened comically, in absolute horror at the realisation that he had a damn breakdown infront of Jungkook of all people. He groaned, "fuck. What the fuck." He started hitting the mattress.

Jimin raised his eyebrow, "the fuck did my bed do to you?"

Taehyung just groaned again and laid down, thrashing his hands and legs as if that would lessen down his embarrassment.

Jimin sighed, "It's fine, tae."

"No it's not!" Taehyung cried, "I fucking- ugh" he groaned again.

"You both might hate eachother and whatever but he isn't that much of an asshole to make fun over you having a breakdown."

"You don't know that! Why did I have to be so vulnerable infront of him of all people?"

"Just suck it up and get your ass out of bed. We will be late to school if you don't get up now." Jimin said.

Taehyung huffed before unwilling getting up from bed. But instead of walking towards the bathroom, he walked towards Jimin and hugged him.

"Happy birthday." He said softly. Jimin smiled.

"Thank you."

They broke the hug after a few minutes, "finally 18. Think I can find my mate today?" Jimin asked with a hopeful smile.

"Fuck yes." Taehyung grinned, hitting his back that made Jimin winch.

"Why are you hitting me!"

"I don't know. I'm so excited!"

Jimin chuckled.

Half n hour later, Taehyung and Jimin were entering their school.

Taehyung was absolutely dreading meeting Jungkook. Why him of all people? That was the thing constantly running in his mind. How can I avoid him? There's no way I can avoid him right? God! Why the fuck do we have to be in the same class? Maybe if-

Taehyung's body collided with someone's and he groaned. "Jimin! Why did you suddenly stop walking?" When he got no response he looked up and past his shoulder and saw Yoongi standing infront of them and a shocked Jungkook besides him.

He side stepped Jimin and looked at his face and then at Yoongi's. It didn't take him long to figure out what was going on and soon his expression was mirroring Jungkook's.

Holy shit.

Taehyung entered the canteen. After Jimin and Yoongi found out they're eachothers mate, they've been together every single second.

As soon as class ended and it was lunch time both of them walked out of class hand in hand. Taehyung shuddered. People get disgusting when they find their mates. He's jealous as fuck by the way.
