Chapter 6

●●●

About an hour later Jungkook arrived, his face flushed from running most of the way. "Wow, it really does smell intense." Jungkook noticed when entering the apartment and glancing around.

Over the last couple of weeks Jungkook had lost even more of his youthful looks. His baby cheeks had declined, his face was more defined now and it wasn't like Taehyung didn't notice how attractive Jungkook was. It made Taehyung feel some kind of way, even though he wasn't quite sure what.

"I mean, Jimin's presenting. What did you expect?" Taehyung chuckled, realizing that Jungkook had no idea about what Jimin was going to present as. How was he supposed to tell the boy?

"Uhm... Jungkook?" He watched as Jungkook set his things down, taking off his jacket. Taehyung realized that maybe letting Jungkook enter the apartment just like this was a bad idea after all. What if it riled Jimin up?

"Yeah?"

"Jimin presented as an alpha."

"I know." Well, that was unexpected. Taehyung opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say now. He'd thought Jungkook would be surprised, maybe even confused, and he'd have to explain, but apparently that wasn't the case.

"How?"

"Jimin told me he thought he was going to present as an alpha." Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.

"And neither of you told me?" Taehyung frowned. They'd both known, but he'd been left out. "When did you find out."

"Maybe a week ago? Jimin said he wanted to tell you himself but hadn't found the right moment... you aren't angry with me, are you?" Jungkook's voice turned worried.

"No... no I'm not. Just really taken by surprise. Don't worry." He quickly reassured Jungkook, leaning forward to peck his cheek. A habit that seemed to have gotten worse lately, but neither Jimin nor Jungkook seemed to mind, so he just continued doing it.

"I just finished some stew. Wanna come with me to get Jimin?" Taehyung suggested, silently hoping that Jimin really wouldn't display any competitiveness with Jungkook. Even if he didn't think he would, Taehyung knew how much alpha pheromones could mess with someone's head.

"Yeah... I want to." As they made their way over to the bedroom, Jungkook reached for Taehyung's hand, squeezing it tightly. Maybe Jungkook was worrying about the exact same thing. "How did he seem when you talked to him? Was he... like, all weird like they usually describe people who go into rut?"

"No, he wasn't." Taehyung reassured, realizing that that alone probably wasn't that relieving. "He seemed tired, but it was him. Our Jiminie, not some out of control alpha."

Taehyung knocked on the door to Jimin's room. He could hear panting from inside and this time the door didn't open right away. Instead they had to wait for about a minute before Jimin opened the door, looking a lot more flushed than he had before, this time also wearing Taehyung's soft, oversized sweater.

When Jungkook made eye contact with Jimin, Taehyung could feel himself tensing up, but then Jimin sent Jungkook a short, tired smile. "Hi."

"You look horrible." Jungkook pointed out, glancing up and down Jimin's body.

"Well, thank you. You're as pleasant to be around as always." Jimin muttered, nevertheless moving a few steps forward before letting himself fall against Jungkook's chest in what could only be described as an uncoordinated hug. After a couple of seconds he started nosing at Jungkook's scent gland like he had done with Taehyung before, rubbing his cheek against it and sighing tiredly, but with the softest hint of happiness in his voice.

Jungkook returned the favor by pecking Jimin's scent gland. Watching the two of them interact made warmth pool in Taehyung's stomach. He had the sudden urge to join the hug, but then again, Jimin was covered in sweat and practically oozing with pheromones. So instead he pulled his own sweater over his head, as well as the t-shirt he was wearing. "Jimin, how about you go take a shower and then put these on? The sweater I gave you is really sweaty."

When Jimin let go of Jungkook and looked down at himself, Taehyung could see some reluctance, but then he nodded. He took the clothes Taehyung was offering, and started moving towards the bathroom. "I-" he turned around. "I'll keep these and give them back to you once I've put them in a washing machine." And then he left quickly, locking the door behind him.

"He totally jerked off in those." Jungkook chuckled, causing Taehyung's face to turn red.

"...why would he?"

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders, chuckling softly. "You smell nice and familiar? Isn't that reason enough?"

"Uhm noooo?"

Jungkook laughed, but disappeared through the kitchen door before Taehyung could ask any more questions.

When Jimin entered the room, now looking a lot better than he had before, Taehyung had already made sure there was stew on the table in front of the couch for Jimin to chomp down on. Gratefully he nodded to Jungkook and Taehyung, who were already sitting and silently devouring their dinner, before grabbing his bowl and sitting down in between them.

"How are you feeling?" Jungkook asked, patting the older's shoulder.

"I'm not sure if you want to know... but horny. Really horny... and hungry. If this wasn't so damn hot I'd just drink it." He stated and it didn't sound like much of a joke... and just seconds later he started shoving the hot soup into his mouth, silently swearing whenever he burned his tongue, but still he continued eating.

Once he had finished his bowl he moved a bit closer towards Jungkook, who was still eating, and hugged the boy tightly, burying his face in the crook of his neck. Instead of doing anything, Jungkook just let him do his thing, rubbing Jimin's shoulder lovingly before bringing up the spoon to his mouth again.

Taehyung watched, once again silently smiling. Jungkook being cuddly wasn't exactly rare, but for Jimin it sure was. He was almost never the one to initiate anything, but Taehyung knew that didn't mean he liked it any less.

"What do you wanna watch?" he asked, already reaching for the remote to start Netflix. "It's your pick today."

"Conjuring... I want horror." Jimin simply declared as he watched Taehyung skip over the 'continue movies' section.

"Alright, Conjuring it is."

Once all of them were done with their stew they moved even closer together, with Taehyung wrapping his arms around Jimin from behind and Jungkook doing the same from the front. That way they were sandwiching Jimin, who seemed more than happy at the attention and body contact he was receiving.

Taehyung buried his face in Jimin's neck, every once in a while, pecking cheek as he enjoyed the familiar scent. Whenever he did Jimin giggled, while Jungkook demanded the same treatment. Obviously he got a peck as well and then they went back to watching the movie.

Halfway through the movie Jimin excused himself, telling them he'd take a little longer and that they should just continue watching without him and then he was gone. Taehyung had an idea why, but he didn't think more about it, instead pausing the movie to switch to YouTube videos until Jimin was back.

At the end of one of the videos Jungkook pressed stop, turning to Taehyung. "Taehyungie?"

"Hm?"

"Do... how much do you like Jiminie?" He sounded a bit unsure, like he had absolutely no idea what to say.

"Jiminie. A lot, of course. He's my world... just like you."

Jungkook looked a bit frustrated when he raised his voice again. "No... I mean like..." He was interrupted by Jimin stepping into the room and slipping in between the two of them again, this time burying his face in Taehyung's chest.

Jungkook trained his eyes on the television again and grabbed the remote. "Nevermind. It's not that important..."
