I'm Your Safe Place

Taehyung had a hard time getting to sleep that night. Seeing evidence of his new found friend being hurt to the point of blood being spilled down his precious skin, made the alpha's heart clench. His thoughts were running rapid like a river, yet they were quiet like the night sky. His eyes shifting through the nothingness of his dark bedroom due to the night, trying to find answers to questions he hadn't spoken aloud. Yet he found none. It was as if the answers were hidden in plain sight. That's when Taehyung found the answer he was looking for.

The alpha sat up in his bed with flashes of how the omega acted around him, how he looked, even how he talked. Timid. Hesitant. Quiet. As if the omega was threatened. Taehyung heard a growl in the back of his mind at the mere thought of the omega being abused and by that beta.

"Youngjae...." Taehyung didn't growl the name but his own wolf. Jung-ho spoke with anger dripping in his voice making it sound as if it was what colour black sounded, if it even could be a noise.

Slapping his hand over his mouth, listening out for any sounds from his parents either walking around or getting up from their own bed. All he heard was the sound of crickets from outside.

"Relax, Jung-ho, we can't do anything at the moment for him" Taehyung whispered harshly after uncovering his mouth. All he got in reply from the black furred creature was a deep huff.

"If we ask it'll seem like we're pressuring him, Jung-ho, we should let him tell us first" Taehyung continued as he lay back in his bed.

"But, what if he doesn't tell us everything?" He heard back after a few minutes.

"Then that's okay, you should know this..." Taehyung sighed as he closed his eyes. He reopened them as he looked at his clock.

"..no time to sleep for you," Jung-ho chuckled as they both noticed it was around four in the morning.

"I won't even try to..." Taehyung mumbled running his hand through his hair thinking of a way to approach the omega at school.

"Four more days.."

"Don't remind me," Taehyung groaned as he rolled over to his side. He sighed as he let thoughts of the omega fill his thoughts creating a smile to form on his lips.

"Oooh someone is on your mind"

"Oh shut it you," Taehyung smiled as he got out of bed.

"Alright" he got back as a response. Taehyung ruffled his hair as he stood up and grabbed some cleaner clothes before walking off quietly to his own bathroom that was attached to his bedroom.

Whilst he was showering, he decided that he was going to approach Jungkook and let him talk. Though he knows it'll be hard to get through to the younger. He wished he knew a way to help the omega talk to him. But the alpha couldn't figure out how. The water from the shower helped clear his head again.

"You could just, you know..." Jung-ho trailed off softly. "Talk" he finished.

"I just..don't want to hurt him more, nor push him" Taehyung sighed as he rubbed his face with his hands. "He's been through too much." he finished.

The alpha turned his shower off and stepped out whilst wrapping a towel around his waist. He looked into the mirror that was above the sink and couldn't help but draw different conclusions in his head. He had noticed that the omegas body frame was smaller than his own, maybe smaller than he appeared to be, because of the baggy clothes the alpha had seen him wear.

But he couldn't help but wonder if the other eats well. He felt his stomach sink at the thought. Did the omega eat? Taehyung questioned himself silently. He never saw where the omega sat during lunches. The alpha then decided he would make the young brunette a packed lunch.
