Jungkook pov ,
FLASHBACK
I stormed into namjoon's office angrily .
"What the hell is your problem?"
Namjoon blinked in surprise as I interrupted him in the middle of his phone call and held up a finger as a signal for me to wait before I exploded any further
"Alpha jinon, I apologize but I will have to call you back."
Namjoon hung up, and I slammed a hand on his desk, "Why didn't you approve the plans?"
"Why?" Namjoon asked, raising his eyebrows almost incredulously . "Are you asking me why I didn't legalize abuse?"
"It's not abuse. It's discipline," I snapped, irritated with hyung tone.
"And it's the only way anyone will ever take you seriously. You're too lenient."
Namjoon hyung was in up in a flash,
"What are you saying?"
"You're weak," I spat.
"You have to be able to put fear in people with just your name."
I knew my words were harsh, but namjoon hyung refused to accept my input and that pissed me off. My role as his Beta was to help him turn in the right direction.
"Oh, and you would be able to do that? You're just a Beta," hyung snarled, shoving me back.
"I'd be twice the Alpha you are. My title might be Beta, but my blood is Alpha."
Namjoon hyung face morphed into a harsh glare as he bared his teeth at me.
"Is that a challenge?"
"Yes, it is. What? Don't think you can handle it?" I mocked as he got in my face.
Namjoon hyung raised his fist-
END OF FLASHBACK
"Jungkook?"
I blinked and stared at the ground, feeling a sense of shame as I recalled our fight.
"Jungkook, is that you? Is everything alright?"
Namjoon hyung tone shifted to concern, and it furthered the guilt that was burning in the pit of my stomach.
After the way we had left things, his first thought was my well-being.
"Everything's fine. I just-I-"
A pair of arms curled around my stomach from behind, and I exhaled deeply as taehyung quietly comforted me, encouraging me to continue and not just hang up.
"I wanted to talk, but if it's late, I can call
you back if you'd like," I said, but quickly adding, "Or not if you don't want to speak to me. I understand."
"No, no, we can talk now," namjoon rushed out
as if he was nervous as well.
"I'm not that tired anyway."
There were a few moments of silence as
if we were both trying to catch up with reality.
Hearing hyung's voice after so long made me feel like it was a dream. It was just as commanding as I remembered.
"So, how are you?" I asked, scratching the back of my neck awkwardly.
Namjoon hyung let out a shaky laugh, "You ask
me that as if I am the one who had a massive transformation in the past century. I might live across the ocean, but I am still subjected to gossip about you and your pack."
