jungkook woke up with a start to the sound of clattering plates in the kitchen. He sat up, yawning. He scrubbed his face with his hands as he glanced around. The flimsy curtains were drew but still let filter in the first light of sun in the appartment. He saw Taehyung's head peeked through the crack of the ajar door, an apologetic smile on his face and dark circle under his eyes.

"Hi, the breakfast is ready. come eat." he yelled his voice breaking the silence before disappearing back again inside  the room. jungkook looked taken back but shrugged off his shoulder before standing up and heading to the bathroom down
the corridor. The neons bulbs flickered on above his head casting a yellow head in the shoe sized bathroom. he stared at his reflexion in the foggy mirror, scratching
his chin before turning on the faucet and bending forward over the sink to splash water on his face. He then brushed his face the ventured out to the kitchen where he found his older friend sat in front of him in a purple plastic chair.

He furrowed his brows.

"Sit down Kook." he pressed. The young alpha obeyed, drawing out the chair to sit down. He stared down at the empty plate before him. "I know you must've lot of questions but i thought best to feed you before I tell you everything." he explained, jumping to his feet to grab the frying pan. he then turned to jungkook. "I've made scrambled eggs with sausages."

"Huh, cool." replied the younger man, at loss of better words. he watched as taehyung fill his plate before sitting down. jungkook began eating, hungry. He hummed in contentment his fork spearing the sausages with eggs and bringing it to his mouth.

The pair ate in silence and when they're done. Taehyung once again got up to clean up. It's until when he was done that he sat back down.

"First I'm sorry for calling you drunk. It seemed like a good idea back then but in retrospective, I acted selfishly and I'm sorry." he said, hands in his lap.

"What happened hyung? you haven't been like yourself since I arrived." countered jungkook, leaning forward. he llooked sincerely worried. Taehyung let out a dry chuckle, his hand flying to run through his hair.

"Life." he breathed out simply, looking away but the alpha was more intuitive than he let on. His gaze became more piercing.

"Does it have anything to do with jimin?" he let out, taehyung froze shocked. he nodded.

"Explain me. i need to know hyung, please." he begged and just like that tears  brimmed at the older's man eyes as he spilled everything to jungkook's growing stupor.

Hoseok heaved out a deep breath he didnknow he was holding the
second he left his father's office. The jung's leader had been more infuriating than ever, smug and proud of himself as hoseok retell the past events that led to his engagement with jimin. The old alpha had congratulated him.

He stopped in his tracks in the lavished halls, pulling out his phone from his inner's pocket to check if Taehyung had replied to one of his text, he sighed when he found out that the young human was still giving him the silent treatment. He shoved the device back and walked out the mansion to his car.

He drove to the omega's place, all the while his thoughts drifting to Taehyung. he couldn't believe he hadnt talked to the young man in days, his heart clenched as he remembered the look of betrayal on his face as he screamed at them back in jimin's office and the latter's blank expression. he had been mad at jimin for refusing to reveal the truth to taehyung and it hadnt subside yet but he needed the omega. His mother was gravely ill and would need to be take out of the country soon and for that they needed to get rid of his father. The alpha would never allow that, he would rather have his mate died.

The Park's estate was as gorgeous as ever. He pulled over before a huge fountain, climbing out his car and heading inside when he caught sounds coming from inside. He stilled, hesitating.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" yelled the omega to someone else. Hoseok hurried inside to help him when his eyes landed on Taehyung in the living room. The young human was looking right back at him and for a minute everything slowed down around them, sounds disappeared. His heart beat faster in his chest. he tried to reach out for the other man's hand. "Taehyung." he murmured. The man's eyes grew wide, he stepped
back and hoseok's heart froze up. He blinked and like that the charm was broken.

"I missed you too, hyung." An unknown voice said and the older alpha turned to face the stranger. an alpha, tall and well built with dark hair, dressed in plain shirt and jeans.
