The drive to Seoul was, for the most part, boring. Yoongi and Taehyung spent most of their time alternating between sleep and control over the shared music. Snacks were handed out to anyone who expressed hunger  along with little bottles of water. The explosive excitement that had radiated off the group of hopefuls had died down into one of sleepy anxiousness. There was nothing more than quiet chatter and the soft breath of sleep.

As the buses drew closer to Seoul, people began to cheer up again. A long line formed for the bathroom as people already begun freshening up for the first round of claims. The chatter grew into nervous noise, Taehyung waking up fully to join in on the conversation.

What are these year's alphas and betas like? Who is the most likely to get picked? The least? What should I wear?

Towards the back, a group of omegas snickered rather loudly, catching Taehyung's ear.

" I don't know why Yoongi even bothers. After what happened with Kihyun, well..."

Taehyung quickly turned his head around, staring at his brother to see if he heard; Yoongi always had a keen ear. He saw no movement among the human however and sighed in relief, although his face was still red with anger. How dare they talk about him like that? The Kihyun incident was no way Yoongi's fault and it was totally unfair to ridicule him for it as the very same thing could happen to anyone. It hurt the omega's heart to see how his brother broke that day and he vowed to never let it happen again.
He curled up close to his brother and grabbed his free hand.

He had missed the way Yoongi had gripped  back tightly.

Not long after, the buses pulled up to the housing that was provided for the participants: a new building of condos that would be used during the claims before being sold off to the public. They were also to be marketed to the newly mated couples, a place where they could start their new lives together. Yoongi always found it smart that companies used the Claims as a way to make good business. An event full of teenagers and young adults who were already falling to impulses? A beautiful marketing strategy.

All this  thought was cut short, however, as Taehyung yet again yanked him out of his thoughts barely giving Yoongi enough time to gather his belongings before dragging him off the bus and into the building. On the way up to their room,  Taehyung was bouncing on his toes, a goofy grin on his face as his purple hair bounced on his head. Yoongi, who was weighed down by slight fatigue, anxiousness, and an overall want to be anywhere but here, stared at his brother in the upmost confusion. 

" I dont understand why you are so excited. You reject everyone who comes up to you."

Taehyung stopped his bouncing and gave Yoongi a look. " Because they were not The One, duh ."

" And this time will be different because...."

"Because I felt it hyung ! I felt it in my dreams and I felt it when we woke up, when we arrived to city hall. Even when we boarded the train! Trust me hyung."

Yoongi lowered his head. Was it possible that Taehyung had got the same feeling he had? He had dismissed it as only nerves, but possibly, just maybe..it was something more? Yoongi shook his head. I am not getting my hopes up. The human lifted his head and walked out of the elevator, leaving behind an exasperated omega yet again.
