Taehyung groans as he wakes up, the air feels cold around him even though the sun is shining directly on him. He rolls onto his back, tossing an arm out in hopes he will feel the warmth of his mate, yet much to his dismay the bed is cold. He perks up as he hears the sound of pots rattling down in the kitchen. He knows it is Jungkook. Who else would be in the kitchen?

He tosses the covers off of his body, the coolness of the winter air greeting his body. Goosebumps erupt on his skin as he makes quick work of getting off the bed and to the bedroom door. He makes his way downstairs, the scent of pancakes mixed with forest floating around the downstairs. He rounds the corner and smiles as he sees Jungkook in front of the stove flipping pancakes. He leans against the wall as he watches his mate, the elders bare back muscles flexing with every turn or flip the Alpha makes.

"Tae I know you're there." He states as he continues his work. Taehyung moves from his spot to around the kitchen where the bar is at. He smiles as he leans over and takes some of the batter onto his finger before enjoying it. "How do you feel today?" He asks as he goes back for another dip, yet Jungkook quickly smacks his hand away sending him a soft glare. "I'm feeling okay." He responds.

"I'm sorry about last night." The Alpha states, his movements stopping as he remembers their argument. "It's okay Jungkook. No hard feelings on my end." The Omega says, sending his mate a smile. "Still, I shouldn't have yelled at you like I did. You didn't deserve it."

"Sweetheart, couples fight, they disagree, it's normal." Taehyung speaks, he leans over the bar once more to grab Jungkook's arm. "I promise it's okay. I'm not going to leave you over an argument, I love you too much to walk away over a disagreement." He continues. "I just got so angry because all I want to do is protect you. Just the thought of something happening to you makes me feel antsy and terrified. I don't want to lose you and I would lose my mind if something happened to you, especially if it was by my hand. I could never forgive myself."

"I understand Jungkook, but you also have to realize my job is to protect you too. Maybe not in the sense of fighting, but I also have to protect your health and well-being. There aren't a lot of tests done on neutralizers, no one knows how it really affects an Alpha's body. Jimin got lucky, you might not and that terrifies me, knowing that you could either die or completely neutralize Star."

"I wish neutralizers weren't so frowned upon. Every article that I read mentioned how it was shameful for an Alpha to take a Suppressant or Neutralizer, yet for an Omega it is considered shameful to not take Suppressant. I honestly don't care how natural it is for an Alpha to have a rut because it's just as natural for an Omega to have a heat. All I want to do is protect you." Jungkook grumbles as he pours batter onto the hot griddle.
