The One For Me || vkook

Lunch was over, but taehyungs family stuck together to discuss their current situation.

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you" taehyungs father said, talking about him and Hoseok, "we just wanted to tell you in person, and then the decision to stay here was only made during lunch, when we told everyone."

Taehyung and his younger siblings were crying, sad because all their belongings- clothes, games, etc- were gone. But at the same time, they understood they were just material items that could be replaced. And luckily important things like pictures and heirlooms, were brought with them just in case something like this were to happen.

Sniffing, taehyung lays his head in his moms lap. He didn't really want to stay here, but didn't want to voice his opinion. He knew it was extremely kind of the Themis pack to let them stay, and although he didn't want to leave earlier this morning, now he was willing to be anywhere but here. Why? His mate of course.

Jungkook was about the most confusing person he's ever met. Why couldn't he just reject him? It hurt enough already, seeing him all cozied up with jimin, but to simply leave him hanging like this? What was the point. Taehyung didn't want to hurt jimin; he loved his friend and knew how saddened he would be if he realized jungkooks mate has come to 'take his place', even if it was rightly his place given by.... whatever god or goddess was up there. But if Jungkook were to reject him then taehyung knew his future was only downhill from there.

"Well, you guys better go start unpacking. Again." Alicia said, smiling down at her son in her lap.

Sighing, taehyung nodded along with his siblings, sitting up to go to his room. After everyone except for Hoseok left them room, taehyung forced himself out of the chair and slowly made his way out of the room.

"Hey tae?" He heard his brother say.

Turning to look at Hoseok, taehyung asnwerd, "yeah?"

"You okay?"

"Yeah, m'fine." He started to walk out again, but hoseoks voice stopped him again.

"You sure? Did.. did Jungkook do something to you?" Hoseok tentatively asked, chewing on the inside of his cheek.

"W-what? Why would you ask that? What do you mean" taehyung was stunned, stuttering and taking sudden interest in his shoes.

"I dunno.. I just saw him staring at you a lot during lunch. And glaring at kai. And since he ran out of the house when he first saw you, I just thought it was a little weird..." he hesitated, but receiving no response he continued, "Ah never mind. He's probably just shocked by how good looking my little bro is" he laughed, shaking off his past mood.

Hoseok started to walk out of the room as well, but taehyung had the urge to to tell someone. "Hobi, wait.."

Hoseok looked at his brother, waiting for him to tell him.

"Y-you're right. Jungkook... he.. um.."

"Did he hurt you?!" Hoseok suddenly became furious, "I'll punch that fucker right in the face-"

"No no no! No, hobi, he didn't," taehyung rushed to calm his big brother down.

"Oh.. then what?"

Sighing, taehyung let it out, "he's my mate."

Silence.

Not getting a reply from his brother, taehyung finally looked up to see him, only to catch him with his mouth slightly gaping and looking at taehyung like he had 5 heads.

"Hobi? What's wrong? I'm sorry, I just wanted to tell someone and-"

"What? Tae why are you apologizing? I'm just... he's so scary and you're so precious, and...wait. Then why aren't you two being all lovey dovey with each other? WAIT. He has a boyfriend- JIMIN! Oh my god, DID HE REJECT YOU?! Now I'm really about to go kill him," words flew out of hoseoks mouth faster than taehyung had time to process it all.

"Nononononono HOBI! You can't tell anyone. You can't do anything. Please... I just.. need time."

"For what tae baby? That's your MATE. YOURS."

"I KNOW! I know. But I really like jimin, and I don't want to hurt him. And- Jungkook doesn't even want me. No he hasn't rejected me, yet... but I don't want to force him into a life long relationship that he doesn't even want. I need to figure it all out. Please, hobi?..."

clenching his jaw with his eyes closed, Hoseok finally looks to his little brother, "okay. Yeah, okay, it's whatever you want. But just know, if this carries out for too long, I really will consider killing the guy ok?"

Laughing lightly, taehyung goes to wrap his arms around his brother, "thank you thank you thank you!"

Smiling at his brothers cuteness, Hoseok ruffles taehyungs hair, "Alright, let's go unpack now. We've got an interesting stay ahead of us."

"Okay. And remember- no telling"

Hoseok intertwines his pinky with the one taehyung stuck out towards him, "I pinky promise"

Smiling his boxy smile to his brother once more, taehyung runs upstairs to unpack and hide himself in his room for as long as he can.
