Destined to Love - KookV, Taekook

19

Unintentionally, Taehyung slept peacefully on the living room sofa all through the night and into the next morning. Knowing the way things have been lately, Yoongi also slept downstairs—so that in the event of a certain Alpha's visit, he could hide Taehyung.

Tae's beauty rest is interrupted by a high pitched scream and feeling arms squeezing him tightly.

"TAETAE IT'S REALLY YOU. YOU'RE REALLY HERE."

Taehyung rubbed his groggy eyes before allowing a huge boxy grin to spread across his face. "Goodmorning to you too, Jiminie!" giving into the hug and basking in his friends floral scent. "I missed all of you guys so much."

Jimin refused to let himself cry in front of Tae so he let it all out this morning on his walk over. He had to sneak out though. He and Jungkook were up late the night before making arrangements for Jungkook's birthday party; they both fell asleep in the conference room of their pack house. So when Jimin snuck out early this morning, he knew Jungkook would ask questions.

"Alright, let's talk. Yoong's go make us some coffee will ya?" Jimin says with a wink, while Yoongi rolls his eyes before heading to the kitchen to do exactly as the beta asked.

Taehyung looks at Jimin while wiggling his eyebrows "Whipped, eh?" They both just chuckle at the sight of Yoongi making them coffee.

They spent several hours talking, laughing and crying. Taehyung had completely brought Jimin and Yoongi up-to-date with his life. Explaining in detail the deja-vu incident in the bathroom with a busker. Taehyung definitely noticed the disappointed look on Jimin's face even though he tried so hard to hide it. He's still Jungkook's bestfriend, I know that. Taehyung managed to make up for it though once he explained the way he left things with Sean...letting him know that he had unfinished business at home. That unfinished business's name was Jeon Jungkook.

Jimin takes a huge breath and a giant drink of his coffee. "Tae, what are your plans? I mean in regards to Kookie. You've had plenty of time to yourself, are you gonna give him a chance to explain?"

Taehyung looks to Yoongi for some type of signal but Yoongi just shrugs, knowing it isn't his place to decide.

"I'm not sure that there is much for him to explain Chim. I mean from Cana to Sana. GODDESS even their names are similar. I bet it's like that with all of them." Tae can feel his heart racing in a way that it hasn't since before he left for Europe. He takes a deep breath to calm himself before continuing. "I'm not angry anymore. I had only know Jungkook for a couple of weeks. We didn't talk about things like that, so how could I possibly be upset with him over something I never bothered to ask about?"

Jimin can't contain his smile at his friends statement. Don't give up Kookie, there's- Jimin's thoughts are cut off by Tae's next statement.

"But.. I-I... I-I just" Tae's voice begins to crack and he can feel tears welling up "I don't know if I can be with him in that way again. He was so quick to run straight to that girl. He didn't waste a single moment. I felt so stupid whenever I saw him carrying her up the stairs. He didn't even look at me. Nothing. I felt so empty."

Quickly snapping out of it when he could see the worry on his friends faces. Tae smiled at them and patted the tears from his cheeks. "GAH! I've already lived this I don't know why I'm still crying over it. Anyways, I do still want to be friends with Jungkook but that's all. Friends. My wolf and I are already prepared to reject him whenever he realizes I'm his mate."

Jimin and Yoongi were shocked. They had already thought in their head that the two were mates but they didn't know that Tae knew forsure.

Yoongi spoke up. "but if you reject him as your mate, then what have you been waiting 20 years for?" raising an eyebrow, hoping to respark that desire Taehyung had just a few weeks ago to find his true mate and be happy.
