Love Me || Taekook

"Tae! Taehyuuuuuung!!!" Yugyeom sprinted down the hallways, dodging students and teachers as he frantically looked around. "Tae- ah! Taehyung! Hey!"

"What? Oh god not you too..." Taehyung sighed heavily and pulled Yugyeom to the side of the hallway. "What is it? Are you going to start yelling at me like Jungkook?"

"What?" Yugyeom huffed a few times, catching his breath. "No, it's- woah. What the hell happened to your nose?"

"Don't worry about it. I just got an elbow to the face in PE. What the hell are you yelling about?" Taehyung crossed his arms over his chest, a small bit of worry settling onto his heart.

"Oh right. It's Jimin. He was looking for you, and asked me to find you." Yugyeom looked around at the other students rushing through the halls, scratching the back of his head a bit. "He's back at the house, and I gotta be honest — he doesn't look too great. I mean, I'm glad he's not sick anymore, but that really must've taken a toll on him."

"How do you know? You've been here all day." Taehyung raised an eyebrow in suspicion, looking Yugyeom up and down.

"Jin FaceTimed me with that expression he gets when he's worried. Yoongi and Hoseok were there too. It seemed awkward. I don't know. Let's just hurry before I get yelled at." Yugyeom grabbed Taehyung and started running towards the exit of the building.

"Wait, I still have to grab my stuff." Taehyung tried to pull away, but he was just dragged down the halls.

"I'll sneak in later to get it for you. I'm already in trouble with Jin since he found out about me skipping school a few weeks ago. I literally can't get any farther on his bad list. I am not about to get on his despicable list." Yugyeom turned around and lifted Taehyung up and over his shoulder. "I don't have any time to waste right now."

"Put me down!" Taehyung struggled for a bit, but eventually just gave up with an angry grimace on his face.

Yugyeom ran several miles with Taehyung on his shoulder, only stopping when they got back to his home. As soon as Taehyung landed on his feet, the alpha collapsed onto the ground, huffing and puffing in an effort to get more oxygen into his blood stream.

"We could've just rode the bus, dumbass..." Taehyung shook his head and walked inside without giving much mind to the oaf on the ground. "I heard someone wanted to see me?"

"Tae! I need to talk with you." Jimin stood up quickly, nearly falling as he did so. Yoongi was quick to stand as well and catch him, whispering a few things with a serious face.

"Yeah, let's go up to my room." Taehyung rushed over, turning seriously concerned. He glanced at the others in the room, noticing how tense everyone was. He helped his friend up to the room he'd become accustomed to sharing with Jungkook and helped him sit down on the bed.

"Your room huh? I guess you guys are as close as ever." A faint smile appeared on Jimin's lips. though it faded rather quickly.

"What did you need to talk to me about? Is it bad?" Taehyung placed his hand over Jimin's in an effort to reassure him.

"Not bad...just odd...I guess." Jimin looked up and smiled. "I found my mate."

"What!?" Taehyung stood up and smiled brightly.

"I wanted you to be the first to know, but Yoongi couldn't wait to tell the others." Jimin chuckled weakly. "He's not as bad as I thought you know..."

Taehyung paused his thoughts. "Yoongi? What does he have to do with this? And what about that virus that you caught?"

"Virus? I wasn't sick, Tae. I was in heat. Didn't Hoseok tell you?" Jimin looked a little confused "I know he didn't say anything about them being my mates, but I thought he told you I went into heat."
