Yoongi hadn't known whether to shake his head or laugh when he was told about Jungkook chasing a squirrel. He almost wished he could have seen that happen. He had no doubt in his mind that things like this were going to be a normal occurrence while Jungkook would still be seeing new things. When it started getting late, Yoongi curled up on the sofa with Jungkook and Seokjin, sitting between the two incubi. Namjoon was lying on an air mattress, keeping to himself as the tv was on.

It was rare for Seokjin to sit on the sofa with them. He would usually only sit on the sofa alone or just opt to be on an air mattress. He seemed to be in a down mood this evening though. Maybe he was lost in thought. He was being quiet, though that was normal. The abnormal thing about it was the fact that he wasn't even speaking to Jungkook for some reason. Seokjin and Jungkook would typically have a quiet conversation while the tv was on.

In his peripheral, Yoongi spotted Jungkook occasionally glancing over at Seokjin. This made Yoongi worry. What if something else happened while they were out, other than Jungkook's battle with the squirrels? Did something happen that upset Seokjin? Looking up at Jungkook, Yoongi lightly poked his bicep to get his attention. When Jungkook looked at him, he pointed at Seokjin then motioned toward the doorway with a questioning gaze.

Jungkook shifted his gaze between Yoongi and Seokjin, like he was figuring out what the human was trying to imply. After a short moment, he reached across Yoongi to tap Seokjin's shoulder."Seokjin, can we talk for a moment?" Receiving a nod, he motioned toward the door, as Yoongi had done.

Getting up from the sofa, Seokjin followed Jungkook out of the living room and into the kitchen."Is something wrong, Jungkook?"

"No, but...Are you okay?" Jungkook knew Yoongi was worried about Seokjin's subtle behavior this evening. He was worried too."You seem like something is bothering you. Want to talk about it?"

At that, Seokjin sighed."I'm okay, but I've been thinking about something." Seeing Jungkook's questioning gaze, he knew there was no point in staying quiet about this now."Since Namjoon opened up to us a bit earlier, I was thinking that I should talk to him about...you know..."

"Are you sure you want to talk to him about that?" Jungkook knew that it was taboo for incubi to talk about such a thing. He was the only one who knew Seokjin's secret, and he hoped it wouldn't turn out badly for Namjoon to know about it.

"I think I should." Seokjin felt ashamed of it, but he also wanted to be honest with Namjoon, especially since Namjoon was their equal now.

Wondering what was up with the other incubi, Namjoon entered the kitchen."Everything okay, you two?"

Jungkook bit his lower lip."Um, well..."

"Namjoon, can you and I talk privately for a moment?" This was it. Seokjin was just going to go for it.

"Of course." Namjoon stepped a little closer and gave Jungkook's shoulder a little pat."Pardon us, Jungkook."

Giving them some privacy, Jungkook left the kitchen and headed back into the living room. He saw Yoongi sitting alone with a worried expression on his cute face. To ease his worry, Jungkook smiled. He seated himself beside Yoongi and kissed the side of his head."You show so much worry, and it's cute, little mate."

Yoongi was so worried that something was wrong with Seokjin."Did something make him sad today?" Peering at Jungkook, he pouted."As much as I care about you, I also care about Seokjin. He's my friend. So I really hope he's not ups--" Yoongi was silenced by Jungkook's lips softly capturing his own. Pulling back a little, he smacked Jungkook's chest."You brat. That's so rude." This time, he leaned up and captured Jungkook's lips.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Seokjin was trying to figure out the right way to spill this secret to Namjoon."I have something to tell you that I've been hiding ever since we left for the mission that led to us coming here." He gulped quietly."I was afraid to admit this. The only person who knows is Jungkook."

"A secret?" Namjoon figured this was really important if Jungkook was the only person who knew about it."Are you sure you want to tell me?"

Seokjin gave a small nod."You opened up to us earlier today. So I want to open up to you. We are equals now, so I want us to be able to speak freely with each other." He took a couple seconds to compose himself before speaking again."There's a reason I've been hesitating to mate. I know Jimin would happily be my mate. Under better circumstances, I would happily accept him as my mate."

"Better circumstances?" Now Namjoon was worried."Seokjin, what's wrong?"

"Namjoon, I..." This was hard for Seokjin to admit to another incubus. Just admitting it to Jungkook was bad enough. Still, he wanted to be honest and open with Namjoon as well now."Killing mates for our missions...It really...It took a toll on me..." He clenched his hands into fists by his sides in an attempt to keep himself calm."I'm unable to mate now...I've become defective..."

Hearing this confession, Namjoon was at a loss for words for a moment."You're defective..?" His chest ached as he thought about the consequences such a confession would have in their home world."Seokjin, what did you plan to do on our mission if we found a new world and decided to conquer? This would have been found out."

"I don't know..." Seokjin hadn't thought that far ahead. He had only strove to keep this secret for as long as possible. He had fully known that it would be found out eventually."If anyone in Szarvoun found out about this, I would be put to death. I know that. I was afraid and ashamed. I still am. We don't know if humans give punishments for this defect."

"I can ask Hoseok next time I see him." Namjoon offered."I'm sure he knows what they do about that sort of thing."

Lowering his gaze to peer down at the floor, Seokjin sighed."I'm going to be left unable to understand. I can't mate, so how will I learn anything?"

Namjoon reached out and gave Seokjin's shoulder a firm pat."If you want, Hoseok and I can teach you the language." His lips formed a thin smile."Maybe we should teach Jungkook too. He still isn't getting anywhere with Yoongi." he said with a chuckle.

"I don't know what's holding those two back." Seokjin said with a shrug."They clearly want each other. I don't understand why they haven't mated yet."

"Beats me."
