Taehyung woke up to someone shaking him with an excited force. "Tae! Tae! They're here! They're back! Cmon get your butt up!"

Realizing what was going on, taehyung shoots up, excited as well to see his brothers and dad, and everyone else who was coming back.

jimin and taehyung hold hands and dash out of the basement and into the foyer where everyone was staring to come inside from their journey back.

Busting out from the door, taehyung immediately sees his eldest brother, rushing over to him and jumping in his arms, "Hobi!"

Laughing, Hoseok tightly hugs his brother back, groaning internally from his sore body, but not wanting to let the other down.

"How was it? How are you? Where's the twins? Where's dad?"

"Woah hold on bub... the twins were right behind me, and I think Mom is outside with dad"

"Anddd..?!!", taehyung presses, getting down from his brothers arms.

"I'm a little sore and really tired. It went well of course.. except our home... well..." Hoseok stopped talking once he saw taehyungs face scrunch up as if he smelled something funny.

" Tae? What's wrong?"

"Hm? Oh. I don't know. I just... gosh, do you smell that?"

Sniffing the air, Hoseok shakes his head. Looking at his brother, he asks "are you okay?"

Taehyung didn't reply. The scent was getting stronger. But what was it? It was that same scent he caught whiff of at the party, he couldn't forget it.

Looking around hoseoks shoulder, he looks over to the door to find out the mystery. Closer and closer the scent got, the more intoxicating it became making taehyung feel anxious, weak, and safe, all at once.

"JUNGKOOK!"

Hearing jimin scream, taehyung averts his eyes from the door to his friend, seeing him run over and jump right into the arms of the boy he assumed to be his boyfriend, who just walked right inside.

But within this same moment, the scent became the strongest, causing taehyung to look up into the eyes of the boy holding his friend.

As soon as he made eye contact, he knew.

He knew that was his mate.

Softly inhaling, he keeps watching his mate to see what he would do next.

Jungkooks eyes widen.

'Shit'

He didn't know what to do.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

But when he was walking towards his house, he too could smell that same intoxicating scent he knew from a few weeks ago. And now here he was looking at the boy who he knew was his mate.

Beautiful.

Ethereal.

His.

'Jimin', interrupted his thoughts. The boy still in his arms, as his mate watched them.

Suddenly panicking, jungkook puts jimin down, grabs his hand, and runs out of the door, jimin looking surprised but still following him.

Releasing a breath he didn't know he was holding in, taehyung is quick to turn to his brother. Plastering a fake smile to his face, he tells him "I don't feel so good, so I'm gonna go upstairs. Im really glad youre safe though. All of you. "

And with that he quickly walks towards the stairs, and runs to his room that he was staying in.

He can't believe it. He had been so excited to find his mate, but now that he's found him, not only is he his best friends lover, but he doesn't even want him.

Laying face down on the bed, he groans. What happens now? He doesn't want jimin to hate him. He doesn't want to not have a mate. He doesn't want to have a mate that doesn't want him.

Curling up into a ball, taehyung cries into a pillow he hugs into his chest. Earlier this morning he wanted nothing but to stay here, but now all he wants to do is go back home, wishing they never had to come to the Themis house in the first place.
