Once the haze of his rut is over, it gets easier to calm Jeongguk's wolf, although momentarily, before it strikes again. They are in the secret room that Jeongguk likes to call the study room, since there's a big collection of books and all. His head is resting on Taehyung's lap while the Omega is reading a book.

Basically, it was Taehyung who came here to look through the books while the Alpha was napping.

But Jeongguk instantly missed his warmth. He tried to stay in bed and not bother Taehyung if he needed space or time to rest maybe. But his clingy wolf took no excuses and Jeongguk had to reluctantly drag himself to find the Omega. Taehyung had welcomed him with open arms and a smile.

"I found a few recipe books. Your collection is quite wild actually," Taehyung comments while his eyes read through the book.

"Those were grandmother's. Some of the books were already here when I moved in," he replies with closed eyes.

Taehyung shifts under him a little to get more comfortable. Almost like a second thought, one of his hands threads into Jeongguk's hair, playing with the soft locks. "It looked so easy by reading the steps. I might try to cook something- and no, before you tell me I might burn your house down, I am not that careless. I really just cut my finger last time, otherwise, it would've turned up good."

Jeongguk just listens to him quietly. He wouldn't mind honestly if Taehyung burns his house down, he chuckles to himself. Whipped. That's what his brother would've called him. Yoongi would have called him pathetic and weak too but whatever.

"Why are you laughing? Don't you believe me?" Taehyung instead takes his laugh as an offence.

"Oh, no. I definitely see the potential, pup. You can be a certified chef if you put some more practice into your skills."

He feels Taehyung playfully tug on his hair. After a while of comfortable silence, the Omega speaks again, "Oh, and," Taehyung clears his throat, suddenly hesitant, "The other night, in bed..." He seems to weigh his words before speaking.

"What? You can talk to me freely, you know?" Jeongguk opens his eyes and takes Taehyung's hand from his hair to instead place it on his naked chest.

He sees the colour of Taehyung's cheeks, and the way he looks too shy to speak about whatever it is. "It's nothing, I just- that night, you did this... thing-" he sees Taehyung shake his head. Before the Omega can change his mind about speaking, Jeongguk squeezes his hand, encouraging him to go on, "You touched me on the other opening. We've never talked about it." He says it all in a single breath.

"Oh," Jeongguk hears him, however. He tries to sit up and look at him properly but the Omega whines and presses him back down, hiding his own face behind the book. Jeongguk smiles at his antics but obliges. "I'm sorry. I couldn't think straight during the rut. We won't have to do it ever again if you don't like it."

The Omega is shaking his head before Jeongguk completes his sentence, only the top of his fluffy blonde hair peaking from above the book. "That's not- No need to apologize. I didn't mind it."

Oh.

Jeongguk laces their fingers together, "Yeah? Did you like it though?'' He watches closely, although he cannot see his face, but he sees the small, timid nod. Jeongguk's smile widens, glad that the Omega feels comfortable enough to finally talk more openly about such matters. "We can try that then."

Taehyung groans, sounding embarrassed as he hides himself under his arms. Jeongguk is way too fucking endeared, feeling the warmth spread through his chest as he watches the Omega getting flushed and shy.
