CHAPTER 11

While the conglomeration between the Parks and the Jeons was being processed, another far-reaching development happened in the lives of Taehyung and Yoongi.

It was in the forbearing silence inside the Park Paradise that Yoongi began to think about the very turbulent events that had led them into this furnace. Taehyung had been at his side every inch of the way, an unrelenting support during those dark days.

As Yoongi was pacing around the room, losing his head about the future and the responsibilities that were to come his way, Taehyung came closer to him gently, sensing that something was weighing on his mind.

"Yoongi hyung" Taehyung started softly, his head peeping from his chest, his voice laced with business and affection, "are you alright? You asked me to see you urgently."

He hasn't called him Alpha. Yoongi doesn't want this.

Yoongi turned toward him, his eyes grateful but vulnerable. "Taehyung," he murmured, reaching out to clasp his hand, "I need to ask you something."

Taehyung's eyes are a little widened, he could feel the weight in the words. "Anything, Yoongi hyung," he said with no hesitation at all, his voice full of warm supporter tones.

Yoongi could only feel guilty.

Yoongi steadied his breath before speaking. "I... I want you to court me," he said, his words shaking with emotion. "And...mate with me, if you are okay with it."

These words, weighted by years of unspoken feelings and dropped expectations, would just hang in the air. He always admired Taehyung's patience and understanding, his seeing beyond the walls he had built around his heart.

Tears filled Taehyung's eyes as his brain digested Yoongi's demand. He felt so much love, so much tenderness in his heart. "Alpha", he whispered, thick with emotion, "I've waited all the time for this moment. I love you... I do, I want everything, you have to give... everything"

Taehyung flung his arms around Yoongi, clutching him tight, tears streaming down his face. "Yes," he whispered against his ear, his voice trembling with happiness and relief. "I will court you, and I will mate with you."

Yoongi embraced him tightly, which spoke of the many years that built up between them. "Thank you," he whispered, his voice tight with emotion. "Thank you for not giving up with us, for always putting up with me... I was stubborn, I am sorry."

Taehyung slouched back a little, his eyes locking with Yoongi's in a deep instance. "I love you, Yoongi hyung," he said, sincerity oozing from his voice. "And I'm going to be here for you always- through everything."

With a heart full and their futures now inextricably linked, embracing the newfound love and commitment for each other would never have been hard for any of them, it only meant that together, no rising storm could ever blow them too far off course.

One evening, when everybody was assembled inside the grand hall of the Min mansion, the atmosphere lightened after serious discussions about alliances and family.

Namjoon's eyes sparkled playfully at Hobi, who nodded back as they watched Yoongi and Taehyung share a tender moment by the fireplace.

"Well, well," Namjoon murmured, trying to withhold a smug grin. "Finally worked up the nerve, did he?"

Hobi snickered, nodding at him. They whispered back, "It took them long enough, though" to which a rather playful glare from Yoongi aimed, who had managed to catch their words.

"You two have something to say?" Yoongi quipped, his voice laced with mock severity but his eyes twinkling with amusement.

Namjoon and Hobi exchanged amused glances before Namjoon spoke up, "Just admiring the newfound romance, Yoongi. It's about time you finally made an honest Alpha out of yourself for Taehyung."
