Our Omega, My Alphas

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

A/N:

I am sure everyone is going to ask the same question by the end of this chapter, "when is Taejinkook going to meet?" And the answer will be the same, not yet. I understand this could be frustrating to some people, so if you are not liking the slow burn, feel free to drop the story. I don't mind.

For those who want to stay, thank you. We are a few chapters away from the big meeting to happen. It was due to that scene that I decided to write this story, so I'm excited to share it with you all.

Enough of my chattering, I hope you like the chapter and thank you for reading 😊

"Jinnie, can we talk?" Seokjin heard, making him jump in surprise. A series of emotions were now going through his mind as he stared at the older Omega in front of him. First, what had made Hoseok come out of his room now and not when Jimin was present? Second, was the point of talking with Seokjin in private? Was truth about Namjoon's actions going to come to light? Did it mean that Seokjin was the root of the problem? He probably was since it was due to his heat that Hoseok and Namjoon were forced to mate.

Shoving his negative emotions into the back of his mind, he signaled Hoseok to sit down next to him on the couch. The lovely smell of daisies filled his nostril as Hoseok sat down next to him with a soft huff.

There was a noticeable moment of silence that made the atmosphere between them awkward, but Seokjin knew it was better than being ignored. He hated to see his friend cooped up in his room with no one to talk to and without a way to relieve some of his anger. Seokjin knew Hoseok had a bitterness that was consuming him. Who wouldn't if they had been forced to be bound to Namjoon forever?

"Jinnie, are you mad at me...for the way I have been behaving lately?" Hoseok spoke up, looking at Seokjin with sadness in his eyes. A noticeable collection of tears was pooling at the corner of Hoseok's eyes and he wanted to reach out and wipe them away. However, Seokjin also knew it was better to hold back from his intentions or they would only cause his friend to flinch in fear after the traumatic experience that he went through. It was the last thing he wanted to happen.

"Why would I be mad at you? Of course not! It's understandable to be sad and even angry about everything that happened. To be honest, you should be angry at me for being the reason behind it." He confessed, furrowing his eyebrows in frustration; not at Hoseok but at himself. Seokjin hated himself for causing Namjoon to present as an Alpha. He hated that it also led to Hoseok getting his heat and the rest of the events that followed.

If only he had the help of Daniel, and spent the duration of his heat with him instead of relying on his friends. Then maybe, just maybe, nothing would have happened. Thinking about it, he deserved to be ignored by his friends for being so stupid and oblivious to everything.

"W-what!!?? Are you joking, Jinnie? I'm not angry about it, well, not with you in particular. It has nothing to do with you. I'm going to be honest, this is a matter between Namjoon and I. While you were asleep...a lot of things happened. It was a short amount of time that you were sleeping, but it was long enough to get us to make a big mistake. Jinnie, I told Namjoon to mate with me. I was the one who started all of this, and now I don't know what to do..."

"W-why?? Hobi... what the hell happened?" Seokjin replied in shock, his mouth hanging open. Did he just hear Hoseok say that it was him that asked to be bound to a mating mark? Seokjin couldn't believe anything that was coming out of Hoseok's mouth. Everything felt like a dream; a terrible nightmare, and he wasn't sure how it was going to end. Then it got him thinking, was their mating mutual? Did Namjoon also want to mate with Hoseok and that was the reason why his friend presented as an Alpha? A series of ideas and analysis of scenarios about his friends' mindsets were going through his head.
