CHASING MATE | k.v

Eleven: Cold Shoulder

Taehyung began to act differently after the incident.

It's not like Jungkook assumed that the would have a special bond right after the bathroom situation- but the way his teacher approached him changed.

Taehyung became timid, keeping a safe distance whenever they interacted and would always find excuses to leave. It continued for a few days, up to the point Jungkook felt neglected.

"Are you okay now, Taehyung-ssi?" One of the professors approaches the omega, who was staring into space. "You seem to be bothered by something, can I be of help?"

Taehyung shakes his head, snapping out of his thoughts to acknowledge the teacher's presence. "Ah, yes. I'm okay, I'm just a little bit tired- nothing much to be taken serious." He finishes his excuse with a kind smile, though his eyebrows were furrowed when the wolf began sniffing.

"I see." Was the reply he got as he watches the teacher leave, muttering something under his breath though he chooses not to be concerned about it. Ever since the pre-heat incident, he knew that his co-teachers will have to keep an eye on him.

Probably to get their turn when he suddenly acts extra submissive again. An exhausted sigh left he male's lips, gripping on his pen tightly as he tries to focus on checking the homework his class had passed. Taehyung didn't have to worry about his scent either, as he made sure to use the scent block now that his body was showing signs of vulnerability.

But there was still one person that was bothering him-- someone who had saved him from the other horny alphas.

Jungkook. The school president that was included to his student list. It wasn't easy to avoid him, as he would either ask random questions to Taehyung or he would drop off files at the faculty room.

He wasn't sure what was Jungkook trying to imply between them, but he was sure that it was only a one time thing and Taehyung did not expect his pre-heat to come earlier than what he had expected.

What matters is that he was fine now, and he's gonna make sure that the incident wouldn't happen again. At least not now that he got himself exposed to his own student.

"Good morning." The main door opens, with the voice's owner entering that made Taehyung wish to disappear on the spot. He grits his teeth the moment he inhales the strong scent, though he instantly exhales as he angrily ruffles his hair.

"Ah, Jungkook! You're such a responsible kid!" One of the teachers praised, along with the others who had always appreciated the president's visit. "I can see why everyone had voted you to be the reigning president."

The younger alpha lets out a playful chuckle, scratching his nape as he puts down the teacher's log books on the main desk of the faculty room. "I'm just fulfilling the duties of a president sir, that's all." He bows as a sign if formality and respect- smiling as his gaze turns to Taehyung who immediately looked away.

"Hmph." He huffs, trying to focus on his paperworks rather than to look at the alpha who was obviously trying to impress him again. Not that he didn't like the hard work Jungkook was showing- it just felt off for him especially after the incident.

Taehyung scrambles down on his notes, bottom lip jutting out as his nose scrunches up- too caught up with his emotions that he didn't notice Jungkook staring at him. The aloha had a pleased smile on his face, relieved that his teacher was okay- though he was disappointed of not being able to smell his sweet scent.

After the last paper was checked, he drops the pen on the desk. Taehyung shuts his eyes as he sighs in relief, giving his arms a good five-second stretch before standing up from his seat.

'Maybe a cup of hot choco will ease my thoughts.' Taehyung mutters in his mind as he grabs his phone and wallet, shoving then down to his pockets as he walks to exit the faculty room which was occupied by intimidating alphas who were always after him.

"Going to your next class, Taehyung ah?" One of the teachers spoke again, catching everyone's attention as they looked at him with unreadable eyes.

Including Jungkook who raises an eyebrow. He cringes, overwhelmed by all the stares he got though he managed to get a good grip on himself and his stupid emotions. "Nah, I'm just gonna go get something to drink." Taehyung gulps back a whimper, giving them a smile of assurance as he bows respectfully.

"I can go with you." He heard one of them say by the time he turns around. Taehyung paused, sucking his breath in as he tries to think of what to say. "No-- no, I'm okay. The vending machine isn't too far from our office, I'll manage going alone." Taehyung glances at them through his shoulder, twisting the knob as he quickly made his exit.

By the time he had closed the door behind him, Taehyung exhales- gasping for air as he checks to see if the coast was clear. There weren't much students lingering on the halls, considering that it was still their class hours.

"Well, we got through that didn't we." He mutters to himself, smiling proudly at the thought of leaving the faculty room- then again avoiding Jungkook who was the main threat.

His heels clicks against the floor as he approaches the vending machine, humming a song under his breath as he takes his time alone.

Since he was an omega, he barely interacted with his co-teachers. To him they were still dangerous especially that he was still unmated, and his trust for them decreases as time passes.

They only wanted him because of his scent and body.

It was painful to accept, but what more can he do? He couldn't just mingle with everyone else without a mark on his body. It wouldn't be easy, now that he was desperate with being bred by stronger wolfs.

Another sigh left his mouth as he clicks the button of his desired drink. He was thinking of having a time off the moment he gets his first salary- just to prepare for his heat. Taehyung would be sexually active again, and he couldn't bare to have Jungkook lending him help again.

Speaking of which- his strong scent fills the halls again, purposely reaching Taehyung who tried to ignore the presence.

"It's good that you have used scent block, sir." He heard Jungkook's voice say, with him groaning in disbelief. He could just walk away after a reply- but his choco was taking a little long, or was he just being impatient?

Taehyung's shoulder was raised a little, tensed when he realizes that the alpha was indeed approaching him. "I figured I might have to." He shortly replied, not giving the male even a glance- preferring to stare at the machine instead.

Silence dominates the two the moment he had replied, with Taehyung feeling so small when he notices that the alpha was staring at him.

He didn't do anything, though. Jungkook just watched his teacher shove his hand on the small dispenser the moment he heard the machine beeping; laughing when the omega jumps back whilst blowing his fingers.

"Hot, isn't it?" The alpha takes action this time, carefully pulling the cup out of the machine as he turns to Taehyung. "Here. Hold it by the upper edge so it won't burn your fingers."

"Thanks.." Taehyung slowly reaches for the cup, unable to look at Jungkook in the eye. "I'll get going now."

It should've been a peaceful leave for Taehyung when Jungkook suddenly jogged in front of him.

"I couldn't take your treatment anymore." Jungkook spoke, sounding like he was fed up though Taehyung was playing innocent.

"What do you mean..?" The omega furrowed his eyebrows, flinching when Jungkook approaches him with an annoyed expression-- far too different to the one he had seen back at the faculty room.

"Stop playing so fucking innocent." Jungkook huffs, locking an intense eye contact with his teacher though he tried his best to stay dominant. "It makes me feel helpless at how cute you are."
