Third person P.O.V

A dream, what is it? Some people say it's a place where to find what you seek, while for some, it's just a gateway to a land of wonders, where things happen in the most bizarre way ever possible but for some, it's an escape from the horrible life... and that's what Jungkook had his mind stuck on because he knew what he heard can't be true. It should be a dream.

Blinking continuously after feeling the slight sting in his eyes, the alpha gazed up to have his breath hitched when those soft ones looked back at him with somewhat worry.

"I, did I say something wrong?" Taehyung stayed rooted at his place, his fingers busy fighting against each other while he waited for the raven-haired to say something in turn.

"Hyung?" Calling again, finally, the alpha showed some response by making a small 'hm', and Taehyung now felt awkward.

Does he not want what I said? Or is he offended?

And worse thoughts crossed his mind.

What if his wolf comes out in anger?

"It's... It's not like I want to go that way right now. We both need some time, I still need some time to get over it all. But if you don't want this... this bond anymore, I'm ready to move on as well."

Those words were rushed, very rushed to the point that Jungkook barely managed to get, but when he did, it was like another blow to his already blown-up mind. "You... you really said that?"

Taehyung frowned, finding it odd because Jungkook was just confusing him more than he already felt after hearing Jimin in such detail. "I said what? That I need time?"

"No, not that... um, that you want to live happily with... with me.?" The uncertainty made Taehyung realize that he might've done something at the wrong time, but oh lord, what a pair.

Jungkook thought that he heard wrong while Taehyung thought that he said wrong, but in reality, they both were wrong by believing their brain instead of their heart.

Thinking that he needed to clear it now, Taehyung cleared his throat and licked his lips before starting again. "I said, but you aren't obliged to do so if you don't feel comfortable. I... I never dated anyone before or had time to have relationships, and now, I think it won't be bad to have someone by... by my side." Unconsciously, Taehyung stepped back, hiding his face by hanging it low, knowing that it felt warmer than before, and he would gladly blame it over the strongest gaze that was directed at him.

"Jimin said that you have to stay... you have to stay alone if I won't be, um... with you." Jungkook felt lost. He was completely lost because he couldn't control but hear the loudly thumping heart of the nervous human who was hiding his face but couldn't tone down his screaming heart.

Is he afraid or shy?

Looking closely and sniffing the air subtly, the alpha confirmed that it wasn't fear or distress but nervousness, and only that discovery was very satisfactory.

"I just -"

"Taehyung?" The said male stopped any more words to leave his mouth when he heard Hoseok calling his name while coming out of the room he was sleeping in. Licking more nervously that the older one might have heard their conversation, he went to him, trying hard to keep his voice stable, with a slight bit of hope that his fear wouldn't come true.

"Hyung, are you... are you feeling better? When did you wake up?" Hoseok raised his brow because Taehyung sounded clearly nervous and slightly panicked. Chuckling lightly, he patted the younger's blue hair and softly caressed later.

"I'm all better now. Don't worry that little head of yours." Taehyung nodded, feeling like he could breathe now as it was crystal clear that Hoseok was still oblivious.

"Who is that handsome guy?" Jungkook, who was standing like a blank face holder, gave his sharp glare to the older who felt his lips trembling, refusing to smile when Taehyung introduced him.

"He is Jungkook, um... owner of this house and the one who... who saved us." Keeping his gaze down," Taehyung muttered, to which Hoseok ignored the glare and went to show his gratitude to the savior.

"I can't thank you enough for what you did for us. I still can't pinpoint what happened, but I could have lost my sanity knowing that Taehyung got hurt because of my carelessness. He is just like my younger brother that I can't lose at any cost." The blue-haired bit his lips, feeling overwhelmed for having the person beside him.

Jungkook felt his gaze softening when Hoseok said those words, depicting the worth he held in his heart for his precious mate, warming his inside that someone was here for the ethereal boy.

"He means more than that to me."

"Sorry, did you say something?" Hoseok asked, not catching up on what the handsome man said in front of him, more like whispering.

"I said, how do you feel now? Jimin told me that you fell asleep soon after waking up."

Hoseok looked unconvinced but nonetheless replied. "Yeah, that's weird that I feel so weak even when I have no major injury or blood loss." Grazing his scratches on the arm, he continued. "This is really weird."

"Hyung, do you want to eat something, or should we leave now? You asked me to leave but you fell asleep." The older human scratched his neck in embarrassment.

"Yeah, we should leave." Looking down at his clothes, he pouted. "Where are my clothes, I want to change back."

"Sorry, they were stuck in the car door, so we have to tear them." The lie was so smooth that Taehyung was awestruck.

"We can return them back after washing, right Jungkook hyung?" Hearing the soft tone, the big alpha again was in a daze, but he managed a small nod, after which Taehyung dragged Hoseok to get his phone and other things before leaving the house.

Jungkook broke his daze when his favourite scent started to become distant only to find Taehyung ready to leave with Jimin, Yoongi right beside him to assist their special guests out of the pack carefully.

Their conversation was left halfway through, and now Jungkook was getting upset as Taehyung didn't say anything else. Will they get a chance to talk again? But how? He can't keep sneaking into his room every night like he did in the past weeks and definitely can not keep him here against his will.

Throwing his long fringes back in frustration, Jungkook turned his back when Jimin made the human sit inside the jeep they brought inside to take the two humans back. But he halted when a surging wave of his favourite scent clouded his mind, pestering him to turn around, and when he did, his eyes sparkled once again.

"I just need some time to come around. Till then, we can... um, talk on the phone to understand each other?" The continuous fiddling of the fingers with those crimson cheeks was too much for the love deprived alpha.

"Hyung?"

"Ah, right... right, my phone number." Taehyung bit down his giggles at the panicked expression of the once ruthless male, not believing if he hadn't witnessed it all with his own eyes, but well he silently saw as Jungkook took his phone out of his pocket and handed it over to him.

Taehyung typed his number and gave it a call before handing the phone back to Jungkook as he took his own to save Jungkook's number but the screen again didn't let him, so he lightly memorised it for now to save it later on.

"See you later." Waving in tiny, he quickly sprung out of the house to jump inside the jeep where Hoseok was too busy talking with Yoongi about his job and the latter more interested than a bored Jimin beside him.

"Let's go." The beaming smile of Taehyung was enough to bring one on each of their faces but before the gleaming aura could disappear, Yoongi silently took his leave while Jimin dropped them at their house after taking directions from Taehyung.

It was Jimin's idea to drop them instead of Jackson as the male had already met Hoseok and could trigger some ugly doubts that they needed to avoid for now. Jungkook agreed with their mind link when he saw the beta with the Jeep. Namjoon took charge of keeping the way clean by sending all the alphas to the training grounds while Jin kept a strict eye on the surroundings when their Luna was safely escorted out of the pack.

Jungkook plopped on the couch, his gaze wandering between the untouched sweet treats on the table and those used utensils where Taehyung's plates were still lying.

Now, when those thick clouds of the sweetest scent weren't masking his senses, he thought about what had happened more rationally. He had a peaceful and delightful lunch with his mate. He was forgiven by the sweet creature even after all the aches. He was granted a golden chance to win the heart that belonged to him in a better way. What else could he wish for? It felt nostalgic...

Smiling at the luck of the day, he opened the phone lock to find the number showing on the screen, still waiting to be named. Those bow-shaped lips stretched more, almost in a blinding smile, when he typed a few alphabets on the screen to release a satisfied sigh on the completion.

It was indeed nostalgic...

><><><><

"They live in the forest?" Taehyung halted at the abrupt question, his hands frozen at the clothes he retrieved from Hoseok's closet.

"Y- yeah, they live there." The older male hummed, silently observing as the blue-haired rushed here and there before announcing that he could finally shower and change.

When Hoseok was inside the bathroom, Taehyung tiredly fell back on the bed, facing the ceiling while biting his lips unconsciously. His mind was playing the whole conversation in loops, and those expressions he saw today on Jungkook's face... it felt like he was met with another version of the male.

Back a few weeks ago, he was always distorted about the whole fiasco of kidnapping and all that he barely paid any attention to the buff alpha, but today when he did, Jimin's every word made sense.

Jungkook was really so sweet, perfect with his words and actions (excluding the harsh acts of his other sides), and that smile, oh God... having the body of a boxer with a baby face and bunny smile was a different combination but oddly satisfactory. Not to forget about that scent, that calming and fresh scent that he wanted to inhale and store, maybe for future purposes.

Thinking that, a small giggle escaped his lips, almost giving him a jolt of surprise about how he was acting weird based on a little moment he had with the male. The smile faltered soon, reminding him what he was trying to do with his own life.

Even when he truthfully forgave him and announced to start anew, the fear of those changing eyes and what they could do was still there, still scratching his horrible experience of weeks.

"I ran into a mess."

===<>===

"TAEHYUNG! Hey, where were you, dude?" The blue-haired frantically looked around to find the source of the voice only to smile later when he came across his classmate approaching him in a hurry.

"Hey, Wangji." The boy huffed, irritated by something.

"Don't Hey me, Kim Taehyung! You promised to help me with my final project this weekend after exams, but disappeared like a dry leaf in a windstorm!" Taehyung felt guilty because he did have a commitment to the male, but the example made him laugh, annoying the lad more.

"Seriously?!"

"Sorry, I apologize but um, I had some problems so I forgot." Wangji had a sharp glare directed at him, which soon melted into a soft stare.

"Fine."

Taehyung clutched his bag tightly, thinking about how to make it up and soon an idea popped into his mind. "Wangji, how about we meet in the library after 3 pm? My supervisor will let us go for field work after discussion, and then I can help you with yours."

Wangji looked happy with the suggestion as they have no more classes now, just a final project to have their degrees in their hands.

"OK, done. I'll text you when I get free." Saying that Taehyung turned to go to his supervisor when his new phone buzzed in his pocket, asking for his attention.

Taking his phone out, he felt his heartbeat picking up just by reading the name of the sender.

Jungkook hyung:

He unlocked the phone to read the full text only to smile.

Good morning, pup. I wish you a very lucky day ahead. Make sure to take care of yourself, eat, and drink more. Wear thick clothes, it's going to be very cold in the evening.

The smile was still there when another message popped up in the same chat box.

You forgot your pudding, but no worries, I ate it. I hope you don't mind. But if you do, I can compensate you by treating you with loads of sweets and snacks from your choice of brands.

Biting his lips to control the etching smile, he felt his fingers moving involuntarily to type the reply.

Good day to you too, hyung. Thanks for caring. And about the treats, let's make it our weekend plan.

Sending the text, the blue-haired took a deep breath when he noticed that Jungkook was already typing.

Really?

I mean, you sure?

I'm not forcing you...

No. I mean, only if you are comfortable with it.

Staring at the screen for a whole minute, Taehyung sighed and typed.

I'm trying to make it comfortable for us, hyung. Let's get to know each other, slowly and steadily.

Jungkook quickly replied.

Sure. I'd love to show you my true self, pup. After all, you are the owner of my heart and soul till my last breath. Let's give us a try and win the race of covering the distance between us soon.

Jungkook leaned back on the chair, his heart thudding rapidly against his chest after sending the message. His eyes almost watered because of the feeling of having hope, a shining hope to get better than before and have his mate by his side. His screen still shows the new message that he read with a side glance to only chuckle with wet eyes.

Let's get it! >_<

Taehyung clutched his phone, smiling ear to ear at the silly emoji he added in the end, but strangely, he felt very comfortable already doing so. Maybe the realization of being bonded to someone did it or the specks of real Jungkook made him attracted to the werewolf, but whatever caused it, the feeling it gave was very nostalgic and lowkey, he was already liking it... unaware of the burning pair of eyes boring holes into his phone.

Assalam o alaikum. Is it rushed? Give me your honest opinion.
