Mix and Match ~ TK

4

Two days. Jungkook had only two days left before his departure. During the week he made sure to act extra happy with everyone around him which wasn't really difficult since Jungkook can never actually fake his love for his pack and family.
He had fun. He swam in the lake everyday with his cousins and their mates. He helped his father in a few leading problems. He assisted the doctor of the pack with some patients. He went shopping with the girls and had a movie night with them while listening to their innocent yet funny rambling about their significant others. He had lunch with his mother in a restaurant near his college where he showed her around his soon to be ex-campus. He even had a sleepover with his brother and told him how happy and proud he was to be by his side which ultimately lead to some sniffles and eventually to Yoongi kicking his ass for making him cry.
He'd done it all. And now, it was time to say goodbye. Not literally because Jungkook made sure to mislead everyone into thinking he finally was happy and accepting of his fate thus not making anyone figure his planned escapade.
Two days and one night.
He was going to spend his last day in his pack with the pups and teach them how to transform and how to train. Make sure they are cared for and pleased before going away. Sleep for a few hours. Take off a little before dawn.

"Kim Taehyung open this door now!"
Namjoon knocked on his brother's bedroom door for what seemed to be the hundredth time this week. He just refuses to open the door, coming only at night when everyone was asleep only to lock himself up again.
And Namjoon wanted to kill himself because of the pain he caused his baby brother. He really messed up this time and even Jin couldn't help him now since Taehyung just refuses to open to anyone who wasn't his blonde best friend.

"That's it. I'm calling M. Park."
Namjoon turned to his husband who was also leaning beside him on the wall, a sad expression painted on his beautifully sculpted face.

"Honestly I'm not sure about this whole 'separating them' thing. Do you really think Taehyung can survive a whole year in university without his best friend. And Jimin? I'm concerned Joon."
Jin sighed as soon a they descended to the living room of their appartment.

"It was Jimin's father's idea. He wants them to have different dorm rooms and since they don't study in the same field they won't be able to see each other as much." Namjoon explained. "Thinking about it this way, it sounds so cruel."
He shook his head causing his mate to put his hand over his shoulder in comfort.

"It does." The omega confirmed. "You know I'm always supporting your decisions Joonie but this is a bit extreme for just making them toughen up. Jimin and Taehyung simply do not know how to function without each other and you can clearly see it from this past week."

"I know and I kinda regret it now. I really just want the best for Tae but I'm going to talk to M. Park and see what we can do about it. In the meantime, can you please go and try to make him eat and bring him his phone too. I feel horrible for taking it from him as if he's still a child." Namjoon pleaded with his mate who only nodded and smiled at him briefly.

"We'll find another way to do this Joon, I promise."

Meanwhile, Taehyung was laying on his bed facing the sun going down at a slow pace. He could hear the desperation in his brother's voice and he knows that he regrets his decision to separate him form Jimin. But that's not what hurts the most.
What hurts the most is that Taehyung feels worthless. He's an alpha for crying out loud but he never related to it. His whole nature felt like nothing but a burden to him. And the worst part is that he doesn't even know why.
What caused him to feel so distanced from his wolf this much?
Being with Jimin who's like a constant ray of sunshine in the brunette's life made it bearable for him. Heck, he even forgot he was an alpha when he's with Jimin just because they never really acted upon the hierarchical system of their nature. They acted like they were the same class and it never bothered either of them. If anything Jimin acted more like an Alpha with Taehyung. But Taehyung never cared. He just wants- needs his best friend back because there's no way in hell he can live through college alone.

"Taebear? Open up please, it's Jin."

"Go away." Taehyung uttered slowly only now realizing the tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Please baby, I know you're mad but I just want you to eat something. And I brought you your phone."

Silence.

"Maybe you can call Jimin? I'm sure he mis-"

The door creaked open showing a tall, lean body clad only in a white T-shirt and boxers, thick brown curls hiding his red eyes and nose.

"Oh baby.." Jin didn't wait before engulfing the boy in his motherly arms, hugging him tightly with two thin arms hugging back slowly.

Taehyung cried on Seokjin's shoulders like he did countless of times before. Because even though Jin is his brother's mate, he sees him as a motherly figure.
His own parents having died when the boy was only nine years old, with his brother having to take over the pack at sixteen and having just met Jin.
The latter took it as his duty to provide for the pup, raise him and love him like his own while also assuming his hard position as the Luna.
Jin was Taehyung's mother, and will always have a special place in his heart.

"It's okay baby, it's gonna be alright."
