Jungkook, a werewolf, was full of expectations that he would finally be able to recognize his fated mate on his 18th birthday. Then one day, he feels strangely attracted to an omega boy who visited his cousin's house during summer vacation. They soo...
"Jimin said he visited you early this morning. How was it? I never thought you two were close."
"Oh, he did. Um... I think we were pretty close when we were kids. Fortunately, meeting him wasn't that awkward. He was as kind and gentle as ever."
"I see-"
Jungkook came to visit Taehyung after work like he always did these days. He had heard from Jin (and Jimin) that Taehyung had been uncomfortable with the alpha wolf being near him since he was young, so Jimin's words that he had skipped scouting in the morning to meet Taehyung made Jungkook a little surprised. Besides, Jimin seemed a little upset yesterday, so he couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard that Jimin had met Taehyung.
However, Taehyung's reaction made Jungkook feel relieved, thinking that he had been worried for no reason. Well, as far as he knew, Jimin wasn't someone who would make anyone uncomfortable or scared. He was kind and friendly with everyone. Jungkook had no doubt that Jimin was born with the ability to follow in his father's footsteps and become the next leader of the pack.
"If I had known that you two had been friends since childhood, we would have hung out together before..."
Actually, that wasn't his sincerity. Jungkook was happy to spend time alone with Taehyung, so he was unconsciously trailing off his words for fear of revealing his true feelings. He watched Taehyung smile without saying anything and just smiled along with him. He felt good that somehow it seemed like Taehyung was thinking just same as him.
Anyway, Jungkook felt fortunate that Taehyung did not feel uncomfortable with Jimin even though he was the alpha. He and Jimin are like brothers, and if Taehyung becomes part of their pack...?!
What the....
Jungkook bit his lower lip, surprised by what he had just imagined. Taehyung promised to be with him on his 18th birthday. But that doesn't mean he'll be with him forever, doesn't it? Jungkook was dumbfounded at the fact that he imagined life with Taehyung in that brief moment.
They were at a lake park that Taehyung liked, and for dinner, they ate hamburgers that he bought from Taehyung's favorite restaurant after work. They've been spending time together every day lately, but they haven't had anything special to show off, just walking on trails together or talking in quiet places. Nevertheless, Jungkook was a little embarrassed at himself for imagining them having a future together.
"Well, does your pack give special treats to mating-age birthday boy?"
Jungkook, whose mind was complicated with his own thoughts, was startled by Taehyung's sudden voice and came to his senses. He asked back naturally, shaking off his hasty fancy.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"I mean, it's a special birthday. So... I was just wondering if there was any event."
Taehyung's smiling face did not change, as if his question had no particular meaning. But deep down, Taehyung was lost in thought as he looked across the lake, which was lined with long, thin trees. On his special and blessed birthday, he found out the truth about his and Jin's parents' accident.
