KIM TAEHYUNG

Obviously it was not a very right moment to go with someone to a wedding. I tried to tell Jeongguk my parents could pick me up so he could stay here and inform the pack about the shapeshifters and stuff, but he didn't listen and said he'd come with me. It was just for one day and we will go back 'home' after instead of staying at a hotel. Which I don't mind at all.

"Put on this outfit! It'll look so good on you", Sojung exclaims. I hadn't seen her for a while. Her mother had some problems at home and she had to go back for a while, but after two days she came back again. She said it was all fixed, but I assured her that if there are any problems, she should just take her time and go there. Right?

"It's simple yet fashionable and elegant, perfect!" the girl squeals as she hands me the pieces of clothing. I take it and smile little. "I will wear it", I say and she smiles widely as I get into the bathroom to dress myself. When I come out I see Sojun lay on my bed and sit up.

"Ooeh looking handsome!" Sojung says, making me blush of course. I always liked getting compliments, but I'm so bad at handling with them. I don't know how to act and just blush as I look down shyly, like now.

"You're going to the wedding with Alpha Jeon! Are you excited about it? It must be awesome... you know that at the end of this week you'll be standing next to him and marry right? Awh you'll have such a beautiful wedding", Sojung sighs out dreamy and I gulp.

Yes I will have a beautiful wedding, but not with the one I love. So is it really that beautiful? Sure I feel attracted to the handsome Alpha sometimes, but this doesn't mean I like nor love him, I don't want to marry him. But I guess I don't have a choice.

Sojung must have seen my dissatisfaction on my face, her eyebrows falling into a frown as her eyes show worry. "Tae, why are you so sad? You don't want to marry Jeongguk don't you?" Sojung asks and pets the set next to her. I sigh and sit there as I shake my head.

I wished I could marry my mate. I wished I could stand next to Bogum as we marry. I wasn't ready to marry Bogum or mate with him, but rather with him than someone else. He was my mate.

"I wished it was my mate", I mumble and Sojung frowns. "I never found my mate", Sojung says and I look at her. "I am sorry for that", I say. She smiles at me. "Don't be sorry. I never cared. My little sister has her mate and yes it looks cute and fun, but I never understood the whole concept", Sojung shrugs and I stand up.

"How can't you? You find the person you're supposed to end with! You find your one true love", I exclaim with a smile, absolutely loving the romantic idea of a mate. Sojung obviously doesn't agree with me.

"I hate the thought of getting put on this life with everything getting decided for you, oh I'm an Alpha so I should be in a high position, no thanks I like being a maid. Oh I have a mate so I'm supposed I end with that person, no thanks I rather find true love myself. See Taehyung, your mate is jot your true love. Maybe eventually, but at first it's just a bond with a stranger. By spending time with someone and getting to know each other you find true love. It doesn't have to be a mate", Sojung smiles.

"Alpha Jeon could be your true love if both of you just gave it a chance. I'm not saying you guys should, but it would make this whole thing much more fun right?"

I frown little, taking in her words. The more I think about it, the more I realize she's right. I used to hate Bogum, but because we became mates I started to love him. The mate bond never fixed that what I hated about him that much, I just got blind to see it. And the moon goddess also fell in love with someone else next to her mate. Her second chance.
