III

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Yoongi felt like a third wheel. In fact, he was.

After Taehyung came down from his rush, Yoongi tried to leave the stadium, saying the two needed to get acquainted immediately. Taehyung, being the loving brat he is, refused.

"Always stay until the end hyung."

"Yet you were just about to leave."

Taehyung wagged his finger. "You see how horrible that would have turned out? Patience is truly a virtue." Yoongi only rolled his eyes.

Soon enough they did leave, Taehyung refusing to leave Yoongi alone at the expense of his mate. They all headed back to the brothers' dorm room. After borrowing some of Taehyung's clothes, the Beta was finally able to shift back into his human form, setting himself on the couch. 

Fortunately, Yoongi could study him with ease and he wasted no time to do so. The Beta, who was named Jungkook, was young, no older than Yoongi. When he looked his way, Yoongi could see Jungkook had big wide eyes that were a soft brown with a silver line around the edges. His hair seemed thick and soft, black locks falling gracefully into his eyes. His smile was easy and relaxing and so was his aura, bringing a different energy to the room and would surely make the process of becoming acquainted with his brother much easier. Jungkook was also reasonably fit, muscles nicely defined without looking like he lived off protein shakes. 

Yoongi decided he might be an ok guy.

Taehyung came from the kitchen, setting down two cokes on the table before handing Yoongi his water. Then silence. Yoongi tried hard not to laugh as Taehyung sat down next to his Beta with the utmost of caution. And Jungkook was doing no better: he kept moving his arms, from the back of the couch to his lap, to the arm of the couch and back again. At one point Taehyung's thigh brushed up against Jungkook's and both were instantly washed in a wave of red to which Yoongi finally gave in to his giggles, laughing until he was gasping for air.

After wiping his tears, the human grew tired of silence. He took a sip of his water, set it down, and laid his eyes on the new couple.

"So Jungkook," he started, "tell us about yourself, hm?"

Jungkook blanked before swallowing hard. "Well. I'm 17 years old. I live with my brother not too far from here. Straight A student, never been in too much trouble. I like to take pictures and I've taken up drawing as well as boxing...."

It wasn't long before all three boys were a giggling mess. Taehyung warmed up to Jungkook quickly, as if he had known him his whole life, and, admittedly, Yoongi had done the same. He just had that boyish wonder in his eyes that made Yoongi all soft in his soul and made the Beta so endearing.

Still, there was one topic he needed to discuss with him. 

When Taehyung excused himself to the bathroom, Yoongi pushed aside his smiles and stared hard at Jungkook. He finally noticed the human, turning his head with a questioning brow "Something wrong Yoongi-ssi?"

Yoongi tilted his head to the side. "Nothing much, just trying to make sure that the 'pull' is real is all."

"Why would it not be real? Who would lie about a thing like that?"
