LIX

They all had gone home a day later in two separate vehicles. Jungkook refusing to leave Hoseok's lap even though he was irritated at him he just wanted comfort and he couldn't lay on Jin or Joon since they were driving.

Hoseok calmly carded his fingers though his hair and kissed his head every so often. "I love you" he whispered getting a hum from the boy who had long closed his eyes. "Love you most" he murmured softly.

Namjoon looked back at Hoseok from the rearview mirror "I love you too baby alpha" he teased the man who huffed. "Baby alpha" Jungkook snickered softly.

"And you're baby boy" Namjoon said reaching back and holding his hand. "Do you want any snacks when I stop to get gas?" He asked.

"Yes please" he said as Namjoon turned on his signal parking at a gas pump with Jin and the omegas and Tae parking behind them.

Jimin hopped out first angry as hell as he stormed into the other car getting in the front and not saying a thing. Namjoon gave the other alpha a questioning look but only got a shrug as they took orders of who wanted what and went into the store.

"Yoongi told me what happened" Namjoon said once they were out of ear shot.

"I was going to tell you guys but I didn't want to add to the stress right now" he sighed his shoulders slumping a bit in defeat as he curled up into his jacket as he picked up candies and sodas.

Namjoon leaned in and pressed a kiss to his cheek "I understand why you did it. I know Jimin is a brat and we need to help him work through some bad habits but go easy on him please. His ex did a number on him" Namjoon said wrapping his hand around his waist. "I mean like definitely don't let him speak badly about our ranks but perhaps we should confront him differently"

"K" Jin said walking up to the front to pay with Namjoon trailing behind him.

"I'm not defending him or anything, but I think we have to have damage control if we make him feel like shit for speaking his mind. We shouldn't ever tell him not to speak up but-"

"K" Jin said again louder and more annoyed as he grabbed the plastic sack and walked out to the cars handing out drinks and candies to everyone.

"Jin you never act like this come on" Namjoon said. The boys had their windows open therefore being able to hear the alphas as they all looked at the two of them arguing.

"I'm acting like this because I don't want to start an argument before we finish driving home because I don't want us to get in a car accident because we are angry" he said firmly getting into the old pickup truck waiting for Namjoon to lead them home.

"What was that about?" Hoseok asked a few minutes into their drive again.

"He is an asshole" Jimin said crossing his arms.

Hoseok frowned slightly. Jin was his mate. No matter what he did Jin would be his priority. "What exactly did he do because he doesn't do anything to hurt anyone" he said confused.

"Got mad at me for telling Tae and Yoongi it was pointless for them to get a mating mark since it wouldn't mean anything since he was just a beta" Jimin said.

Hoseok's mouth was set in a firm line "well maybe the mark would mean more to them that just a chemical bond like between omegas and alphas. Perhaps it means just that they love each other" Hoseok suggested. He marked both of his betas and they were bound, but they didn't have the same connection as an omega would.

"Yeah maybe but I wasn't talking about that" Jimin said.

"Well maybe you should say stuff like that differently since it can hurt peoples feelings. Tae doesn't always say when he is upset so Jin was probably speaking for him and why are you mad at him Joon?" The alpha asked the other.

"I'm not mad at him he is mad at me. I was just talking to him about it since apparently Jimin threatened to leave us" Namjoon said looking at the omega who pouted "it's not like I actually would have"

"And I told Jin that I understood why he said those things to Jimin but he should have said them differently as well since he is sensitive and irrational" Namjoon said.

Hoseok nodded slowly "I think this whole thing would have been avoided if we all said things nicer, but you seriously can not fault Jin. He didn't do anything wrong. I don't know the full story and he isn't here to defend himself but I know him well and I'm certain he didn't say anything you couldn't handle" Hoseok said with a tightly lipped mouth.

"Yeah of course side with your mate without knowing a thing good for you. Must make you feel like a good alpha" Jimin said sarcastically from the front seat.

Hoseok was about to open his mouth when Namjoon beat him to it "see Jimin this is what we are talking about. When you get upset you say and do the meanest things to hurt us. He isn't wrong and I love you to pieces but you have every right to say what you think but you need to say them differently"

"Yeah just go mate the fake omega and the two alphas and beta I don't care. Take Yoongi too just ignore me" Jimin said dramatically.

Jungkook frowned "I didn't do anything..."

"No you didn't baby boy ignore him he is just upset. Jimin please take deep breaths baby" Joon said reaching over and laying a hand on his thigh. "I love you" he murmured driving the rest of the way home.
