Chapter 8

"he's what?" a voice said, it was close to Taehyung so it had to be, Jungkook, who he had forgotten was right next to him and snapped him out of his thoughts. face palming himself mentally for speaking out loud.

It was a curse for Taehyung. His loud voice and ability to think rationally truly was a curse to him. He really screwed up. He looked up, watching everyone's eyes lock on him, even Jin, who was eating (obviously) stopped chewing the food in his mouth to stare at Taehyung with his wide eyes, Namjoon staring with only a lifted eyebrow showing he was intrigued by Taehyung's answer, but Yoongi-as always- was on his phone. Unbothered, finding everything around him unimportant. He didn't listen or seem to care about the situation. You don't know how badly Taehyung wanted to be in that position in this moment. He turned his head to Jungkook once again. There was his face, resting on Taehyung's shoulder with his sweet, adorable, caring and soft bunny smile and innocent expression that was naive to the situation.

He couldn't just say 'Nothing', everyone would protest and Jungkook heard him. He out of all people would know it wasn't nothing. man, He really was screwed. Just say it Taehyung. do it do it do it. over and over it raced his head, he knew they wouldn't take it wrong. He knew them to well. Say it.

Inhale..

Exhale...

Inhale...

Exhale...

He repeated that process, then his lips finally moved, but there was no voice. The pressure of everyone's eyes made him freeze like his body was stuck in an ice cube, he really was stuck.

"You can say it tae. we're as worried as you are." a voice of assurance from across the table told him, it was namjoon, and it relieved him. Namjoon would always put the whole group before himself, if anything happened to anyone of them, he would hundred percent found out, what happened, why it happened or how it happened. He was a smart guy and very caring too. It was sad to hear he was actually leaving the school this year...since, well he is a senior, but besides that he was right, they were worried, their expressions made it clear they were, and maybe if he told them, they could find out what was wrong with Jimin, why he was acting so...cold.

"h-he's.." Taehyung began, his body shaking, but he felt a tightness in Jungkook's grip around him. He was worried and wanted Taehyung to calm down, he sense that all he wanted was him to calm down; inhaling and exhaling once again, he spoke. "he's an omega."

Silence was all that was heard across the table.

The only thing Taehyung didn't need was silence, he hated silence. He was afraid of silence, why did they have to be so silent right now!? He looked at them. Watching Jungkook's face turn into a shocked expression that was hard to read, but Namjoon and Jin were...Happy?

Namjoon showed a meaningful smile, Jin looked ecstatic. He realized why which caused a smile to be planted on his lips, but once again there was Yoongi. Looking at his phone, he looked like he was smiling too, but he wasn't even paying attention. He just kept swiping his thumb across the screen, repeatedly. Staring at it. Smiling at it. wonder what was so interesting? Taehyung asked himself, but shrugged it off. Sighing, he finally faced everyone."Well i guess now you guys know, just...promise me you won't tell him?"

"We won't." Namjoon responed, the smile still stuck on his face.

"We should figure out why Jimin is acting like that, find a way to cheer him up?" Jungkook suggested while tilting his head a bit to the side, unsure of his idea."I like the sound of that." Taehyung answered with his Box-like-smile.

"Let's do it."

~~~~~~~~~

3. Whole. Weeks.

Jimin was still as icy and stone cold as ever, everyone grew worried and without a clue of what to do. They tried everything to cheer him up, but nothing. Hoseok tried being extra, loud and silly -more than normal- but not even a crack of a smile appeared on Jimin's face. Everything they did had no affect. Taehyung was on the point of giving up. Jimin wasn't coming to lunch. Wasn't communicating or even making eye contact with them and don't get me started on 'partner work' or 'group work' in class. He didn't even bother looking at Taehyung, not even offer to work together, he would either, work alone or work with someone else, like Taehyung never existed to him. Taehyung was hurt and practically broken. It worried him.Well everything Jimin was worrying Taehyung either way. He really was lost in what to do. They had to find a way to help, until...One day.
