After showering for thirty minutes to scrub the potential ox snot or underwear odor off my body, I changed into the clothes a female pack member had granted me. Eventually getting bored in my room I followed the scent of chamomile that would eventually lead me to my brother's room.

I strolled down the long halls and got surprised at how huge the pack house was. Back at home our house was probably half the size.

Well what was I to expect. Bangtan was one of the biggest packs in the country as it didn't go with racial sameness but acceptance of variety. After being kicked out of one's pack for being 'too weak' or 'too big', many wolves would find their way to Yoongi and his pack and ask for help. And from what I've heard, Bangtan never rejected any wolves as long as they didn't harm the pack.

The wooden door opened before I had the chance to knock and Taehyung warmly invited me inside.

I made myself comfortable on his king sized bed and sighed in content, "You guys have it nice here."

Taehyung joined me and watched me with expecting eyes.

"What?" I lazily lifted my head to return his stare. "You have a lot to tell me, Rose." He smiled warmly, "How have you been?"

My head fell back into the sheets and I stared at the ceiling, "I've been alright, I guess."

"The pack is alright but I never really felt like I  belonged there, you know. My boyfriend broke up with me the same week Mom decided to tell me about your existence so I guessed it was a good time to make a run for it." I explained briefly and Taehyung scrunched up his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "The end." I added cheekily.

"You had a boyfriend?" He asked in astonishment and I nodded with a bitter chuckle, "Surprisingly."

A sour taste spread itself in my mouth when I recalled the memory of Felix, my first ever boyfriend, breaking up with me in front of the pack house. We had only been together for roughly two months but it still hurt when he ended it with the words, 'Sorry but you're too clingy for me.' 

Thankfully Taehyung decided to change the uncomfortable topic, "What did Mom tell you?"

"Not much." I shrugged, "She told me you left us when I was at a very young age because you didn't fit in." I said and Taehyung visibly frowned.

"I got kicked out because the tip of my tail started turning brown and they weren't sure if I was an actual lucidos."

Now it was my turn to frown as I shot up, "Seriously?!" I shrieked and Taehyung whinced at the shrill tone entering his sensitive ears.
"How could she let that happen.. I mean.. you are her son afterall."

I was shocked. The pack I had lived in for twenty years and counted as my family turned out to be the reason my actual family wasn't able to be by my side.

"Yeah it was rough, especially because I was only six." He chuckled dryly and tried masking his sadness with a small smile, "But luckily the Min's found me in the forest and took me in."

"The 'Min's'?"

Taehyung nodded, "Yeah, Yoongi's parents."

'Min Rose. Sounds good enough.' I mentally noted and subsequently scolded myself for having those thoughts when Taehyung was in the middle of telling me about his sad childhood.

"They started taking in wolves in need, like me and some of the guys, and eventually passed it onto Yoongi when he became the alpha." Taehyung smiled proudly and my heart warmed at the sight.

Although I felt bad that he had to go through such obstacles when he was just a pup, I believed that it was the moon goddess gifting him a real family where he would belong.

I propped up my elbows and glanced around the room, memorizing some small details that'd tell me more about Taehyung's character. It wasn't my fault that I knew so little about him, but I still felt somehow ashamed.

"Tell me about yourself." I blurted and Taehyung grinned in mischief, "Like what."

I pulled at Taehyung's arm and made him lay down beside me, "Just basic facts. Like, I only know your name, your scent and your age." I turned on my side and shot him an unsatisfied glance, "That's kinda embarrassing, isn't it?"

He rested his face on his hands and faced me as well, "Let's play 21 questions then!"

"Alright, I go first." I grinned, "What are your pack rankings?" I mentally patted my shoulder for asking a question that wouldn't only inform me about my brother but also the whole pack.

"Yoongi hyung's the alpha, Namjoon hyung the beta, Jin hyung the salutary, Hoseok hyung the sentinel, Jimin the scout. Jungkook and I are the hunters."

(A/N:
salutary: herbal wolf; heal and take care of the ill and injured
sentinel: ensure pack's safety by patrolling the territory; make sure members keep themselves out of troube
scout: responsible for warning the pack of dangerous territory outside the clearing; stay in touch with other packs to keep friendly relations; are to report any important changes to the alpha and beta
hunter: skilled at tracking and hunting down prey; make sure the pack has a full abundance of food)

A gasp left my mouth after comprehending his words, "I was also the hunter in my pack, sibling goals!" I high fived Taehyung who chuckled at my enthusiasm.

"My turn, are you a virgin?" Taehyung asked shamelessly and I answered just as shamelessly, "Yup, I'm scared of dick."

Taehyung nodded in approval and patted me on the head, "So you should be."

"You haven't found your mate yet, have you?" I asked thoughfully, aware of his unmarked neck and innocent scent but still wanting to make sure.

"Sadly no, Namjoon and Jin are the only ones." I cleared my throat and muttered, "And Yoongi."

Taehyung's eyes glinted in an emotion I couldn't quite pinpoint, "Yeah about that, Yoongi actually has a—"

My head snapped up when the sound of girls laughing entered my eardrums. I jumped off the bed, oblivious to Taehyung trying to hold me back.

"Are that Namjoon and Jin's mates?" I asked no one in particular, excited to possibly make some girl friends. Three weeks of having one sided conversations with squirrels or birds surely lead me to being socially deprived.

I opened Taehyung's door and dashed downstairs, before Taehyung had the chance to prevent me from getting embarrassed and hurt.
