SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT

Taehyung doesn't understand what happened between him and Jungkook. It's like suddenly everything went to back how it was when they barely knew each other. The young Alpha is ignoring him, taking every chance to be away from him. When Jimin goes to the mill or exchange some fruits for wheat with a neighbor, Jungkook goes with him. When Namjoon decides to go for a walk with the pups, Jungkook is running after him to tell him he is going too. When someone has to look after the pups while the couple is busy dealing with the rest of the pack, Jungkook is the one who takes care of the young ones. He does anything so that he doesn't have to stay alone with Taehyung. The older Alpha doesn't why, this has been going on for weeks now. Yoongi thinks the Alpha is imagining it.

,,I don't think he is avoiding you," The Omega says, pulling the sheets from the mattress. Taehyung holds the pillows in his hands, a frown is on his face. ,,Have you tried talking to him?"

,,Of course I tried!" Taehyung tried to have a normal conversation with Jungkook many times now but whenever he would ask the younger something, Jungkook would give him a short reply or ignore him completely. Two days ago, he asked him if everything's alright between them and the younger Alpha only replied with a mumble of ,,Whatever." What does that even mean!? Taehyung begins to feel really annoyed with this whole situation.

,,He is ignoring me, that is what's happening! For some reason, he is mad at me!"

,,Why would you think that? Did you do something?"

Taehyung sighs, looking at the Omega who struggles to put the new sheets over the mattress. The weather is getting warmer, so they all started to sweat more – their sheets needed changing and cleaning. The Alpha places the pillows on the floor, moving towards the bed to help him. ,,I don't know. I wish he would tell me if I made him sad or angry. He doesn't want to talk to me." He pulls onto the sheets. ,,Did he tell you anything about it?"

Yoongi shakes his head, he is out of breath from all the work he has done today. ,,He didn't. I can talk to him if you want?"

Taehyung would like that, but he knows this is between the two Alphas. He doesn't want to get Yoongi involved. ,,I will do it myself." And he hopes they can go back to normal.

,,Okay. It's nice to see you care about him, it's adorable."

,,Please, don't say that."

Across the borders, a man is sitting at the dining table, having lunch by himself. The food in front of him is well made and fresh, he only hires the best cooks – there is no room for mistakes, everything has to be perfect in his eyes. ,,More wine, Sir?" One of his employees asks him, holding an open wine bottle.

,,Please, fill to the top."

,,Yes, Sir."

There is a knock on the door and the man raises his free hand, the other is busy holding a spoon. ,,Come in." He continues to eat the soup, moaning at the good taste. Only the best for him.

Someone clears his throat, ,,Sir." The man eating looks up, gulping the soup before smiling, ,,Seokjin! What can I do for you, son? Please sit, let me get you a plate."

Seokjin stands by the door awkwardly, shuffling. His black hair is styled nicely, he has gotten a haircut recently. He is wearing a suit that tells the man he came here straight from work. ,,That won't be necessary, Sir. I only same to see if there is any update with Yoongi? Has he been located?"

The man raises a brow, ,,No, there is no update. He is gone." He clears his throat, waving his hand and mumbling to take the soup away. An employee of his, standing by the door leading to the kitchen moves to take it back. ,, Can I ask you something, Seokjin?"

,,Yes, Sir."

The man sighs, the worry on his face is clearly fake. ,,I still don't know why my son ran away. And you are the last person to see him before he mysteriously left." Seokjin gulps. ,,Are you going to finally tell me, Seokjin? Huh? Why did Yoongi leave?"

Seokjin stammers, not knowing what to say. ,,I am not going to repeat myself." The man raises his voice, ,,Tell me now! No more lies about how he ran away for love or how he is still in the West."

,,He found out! I mean, he knows – "

,,He knows what?" The man is getting impatient.

,,That you killed his mother! That's why he ran away!" Seokjin is suddenly shaking, is that sweat on his forehead? ,,Is that true? Because sometimes, a thought of it being a lie pops in my mind. It keeps me awake in the night, wondering if Yoongi left for no reason, that you didn't kill her." He shakes his head. ,,So, is it true? Did you kill her?"

The man looks at him, not breaking the eye contact. Seokjin is breathing heavily, waiting for an answer.

Man's eyebrows furrow, he doesn't even blink as the next words leave his mouth,

,,Yes, I killed his mother."

It's in that exact moment when Seokjin realized, he is standing in front of a murderer.
