{One}

For Taehyung, it was a typical Wednesday afternoon. The bakery he was working at was bustling with people, and he was busy recreating all the delicious treats displayed behind the glass on the counter.

Jimin was working at the register, almost drinking half a water bottle every 10 minutes because his mouth got fuzzy and dry from all the speaking.

So nothing out of the ordinary. Finally, Taehyungs coworker signaled him that he'd complete his task and that Taehyung had his break.

He let out a breath of relief and untied his apron, lazily throwing it on one of the chairs, spreading flour everywhere in the process.

He got himself a slice of strawberry cake and a coffee, choosing a free seat near the counter. While eating the strawberry flavored cloud of happiness, he watched Jimin struggling to keep up with all the customers pouring in.

He grinned at that, getting a glare from Jimin in return. Then a familiar figure stepped into the small shop, and Taehyung immediately caught the scent of his brother.

Jeongguk seemed to do the same and promptly sat down in front of Taehyung after giving his boyfriend a sweet smile.

"You two are so sweet I might get tooth decay." He grumbled nur smiled; nevertheless, he was incredibly happy for his best friend and brother.

"Oh shut up, just because you haven't found your mate yet," Jeongguk teased, picking the strawberry from the top of the cake and shoving it in his mouth.

Taehyung let out a sad sigh; that was the best part of the cake. "Maybe I don't wanna find him or her. People think I'm an alpha anyway since you're one, and I take suppressants," he said, shoving another forkful of cake into his mouth.

"Well, you are stupidly tall and strong for an omega; I'll give you that. Maybe if you'd stop with the suppressants, he'd find you. It really could be anyone," Jeongguk philosophized.

"No way in hell. I don't wanna have half of Seoul pouncing on me," Taehyung muttered, gathering some crumbs on the fork.

"Then stop complaining. Maybe you'll smell them, and it'll develop from there," the raven said, trying to cheer his brother up.

Taehyung just scoffed at that. They were living in Seoul, a city that held a population of about 10 million possible mates. He never caught a scent that attracted him, and he was in a few relationships, though never anything sexual happened.

His gaze flitted from his empty plate up to the counter, where Jimin was still trying his best to be friendly and accommodating to every customer.

"Oh, and could you maybe leave the apartment for next week? Jimin's heat will start soon," Jeongguk asked, smiling at his boyfriend and receiving an equally loving one back.

Taehyung groaned. "But that's my week off!" He whined, resisting the urge to slam his head onto the white table.

"Please, hyung!" Jeongguk said, his eyes big and glossy and his pink lips pouty.
