Taehyung was both happy and sad when they returned to the pack a week later. He had missed his family and friends and the familiar scents he had gotten used to ever since he was born and this was the longest he had been away from his pack.
He couldn't wait to lie down in his bed and be surrounded by the comfort of his home. But he was also sad for leaving because this meant no more just going around and having fun and ordering food instead of making it himself and just lying in the hotel room cuddling with Jungkook and having slow makeout sessions.
It had already been a few days since they returned and Taehyung was alone at home waiting for Jungkook to come back from his part time job. He knew there was still an hour or two to go before Jungkook got home so he left the cabin to take a walk.
It was nearly six in the evening so the weather was quite pleasant and he stopped to talk and play with the pups playing around. He had bought little gifts for almost all the children and he loved seeing them play with them.
He had just helped one of the pregnant omegas in carrying some stuff to her cabin when he thought he saw Jungkook standing several feet away but some trees blocked his view.
He walked forward and his eyes brightened when he saw Jungkook standing behind a tree but as he got closer he realized he wasn't alone. His smile slipped off his face when he saw him standing with Yugyeom. He swallowed as something cold trudged up his veins and he involuntarily shivered. He thought about turning around and leaving and trusting Jungkook but something inside of him screamed at him to listen to their conversation.
He found himself nearing them and stopped when he was sure he could listen but not be seen by them.
"-and Kihyun told me that you and Taehyung planned to leave the pack soon and that you wouldn't stop him from being with any alpha he wants."
Taehyung froze at Yugyeom's words.
"Yes I did say th-" Jungkook started but Yugyeom cut him off, stepping closer.
"If that's the case then we can still be together, can't we, Jungkook? I've tried to move on but I can't. I miss you so much and I know you miss me too."
Taehyung had a hand over his mouth to calm his breathing as he saw Jungkook run a hand through his hair.
"Kihyun said that you and Taehyung aren't like that, so that means you still love me, right?"
Taehyung turned away before Jungkook could answer and ran back to the cabin. Tears threatened to fall down his face but he tried to hold them back as he furiously rubbed at his eyes.
Jungkook and Taehyung aren't like that? Is that what Jungkook tells his friends while Taehyung thought they were something else entirely. He was here thinking of children and their future but Jungkook still thought of him as a friend?
What did those kisses and touches mean then? And at Jeju? He still remembered the desperation with which Jungkook had touched him that one night they had returned to their hotel room. They touched but it was never like that. He had felt as if Jungkook wanted to tear him apart and he was fine with it. He thought they would finally cross that one boundary between them and Taehyung was ready to, was waiting for it but they had stopped for reasons he couldn't remember now.
