Right after Minjae left, Tae had an uneasy feeling in his stomach. It was like seasickness but then came the pain. He was on the floor before he knew it, going in and out of his head as his vision starts to blur while he silently screams as he felt every bone in his body breaking. The pain eventually got so bad that all he could do was gasp for air.

Jimin walked out of his room, "God, I thought ya'll would never-

Jimin rushed to Tae's side seeing him spasm on the floor.
"Tae! w-what's going on? "

Just as much as Tae wanna answer Jimins question, he didn't know himself. He felt like every part of his body was in agonizing pain. Kind of like how it feels like when a pup goes through their first transformation into wolf form. But this...this is impossible. Tae didn't trigger his wolf to change.....so why? What's going on. In the back of his head, he knew. He could feel his inner wolf howl in pain, while the responding black wolf, in the distance seemed to howl back, "betrayer".

"Tae! I'm gonna call someone. I don't know how to help you if you can't tell me" Jimin tries to cradle Tae in his arms but he keeps squirming violently. Jimin knows he has to keep it together but he's crying himself, seeing the other omega in such a scary state.

Just then Taehyung claws away from Jimin and painfully starts to take off his boxers and T-shirt. He slowly yet painfully transforms. And after what felt like an eternity of transforming, he soon after goes unconscious in his wolf form, panting and crying out for his soul mate's forgiveness.

----------------------------------

When Taehyung finally wakes up, Jimin was laying beside him, cuddling him in his arms.

"So you're finally up?" Jimin asked with eyes still closed.

"how long?" Tae asked trying to get up but felt like a ton of bricks weighed him down.

" a week, you've been out cold for a week"

"wait. What?! But I ! how? –

Jimin lazily got up, "Chill Tae, I'm just fucking with you. It's only been a few hours. Do you honestly think I'd let you sleep through the week? Rent is due like tomorrow. "

"you ass, I literally felt like dying and you wanna joke?"

"Well, that's what you get for inviting dirty Minjae over. Seriously, even for a booty call, you could have done better than that. I mean, hello, me?"

Taehyung let out a dry laugh, "Jimin, you want to be made love to. TaeTae don't do that. I fuck".

"Whatever, your absolute lost". Jimin said giving him a little wink walking towards the bedroom door.

They laugh a little while Tae tries to find some clothes to put on, his body still feel like shit but his hunger was urging him to move.

"So.....what happened? You just spazzed and went wolf on me, then fainted... I was worried Tae".

" I....I really don't want to talk about it. I mean. I'm not really sure myself".
"well...you need to tell me something. I've never seen you like that before. Also, I never knew you were a white wolf".

"I guess I can tell you, besides...maybe you know something I don't. But ONLY, if you treat me to pizza. WITH pineapples this time"

"Ew. Pineapples? You're the absolute worse. Fine. So tell me, how come you never told me you were a white wolf?"

"You just have no real taste buds", Taehyung stuck his tongue out as he tries to stretch, "And my wolf form....I mean you never asked? plus we never run together? Then again you know I'm more of a lone wolf when it comes to that kind of thing".

"Yeah well, it wouldn't kill you to run with me.... We're best friends Tae"

Taehyung rolls his eyes and waves his hands as he looks around his room for the coupon he saved days ago. Jimin ignores his usual attitude and leans against the door frame and sighs, "But anyway, I'm just surprised that you're a white wolf because.. I mean they're basically extinct Tae....I heard stories from my parents about them as a kid but, do you really not know anything about your family?"

Tae finally finds the pizza coupon in his dresser and hands it to Jimin.

He looks at Jimin with a nonchalant stare " What's one of my roommate rules Jimin?"

Jimin rolls his eyes "no asking about your nonexistence family"

"Exactly. But you can tell me about that white wolf thing. I'd like to know if I'm truly an endangered species. Maybe the government can put me on the preservation list and I'll be set for life".

They both make their way to the kitchen where Jimin texts in their pizza order.

"Look, all I know was that there use to be a big clan, known as the White Wolves and-

"The white wolves? Wow, were they original or what?"

Jimin glares at Tae and continues," ANYWAYS, they were a big prominent clan. Rivals to the Black Wolf clan-

"Ok. Is nobody original in naming these clans?"

"Tae!"

"ok.ok....finish"

"Well they were rivals, but they kept the peace, or so everyone thought. Until one night, nobody knows how or why but all of the white wolves were murdered. It was deemed as a massacre, but the majority of them were poisoned so some think mass suicide? No one knows for sure. But supposedly, there are no more white wolves left. They all died that night."

"So......I am one of a kind? Meaning the government really should be feeding me".

"Oh my god Tae, shut up. I mean, has no one ever told you this? "

"I got weird looks from people who took care of me in foster care, but no. Also, I don't change into my wolf form in front of people very often...so..."

"Your trust issues are really on another level. Anyways, there was talk long ago amongst the smaller clans that maybe the Black wolves had something to do with it because there was some kind of disagreement internally . But yea.... I think it was so bad that the older generation decided to leave things out in the history books, ya know?"

"Now that you mentioned it, I do remember reading like 2 lines in 'History of the Clans 101'.....I just never paid mind to it because it wasn't on the study guide for my test".

Jimin shakes his head at his friend, thinking him hopeless deciding to move on to the next subject, "So I ordered pizza, you gonna tell me what's going on or what? Why did you turn wolf out of nowhere last night?"

Taehyung took a deep breath as he closed his eyes,"ithinkimayhavefoundmysoulmateandwealmostimprintedbutitdidn'tcompleteithinkandnowalltheseweirdthingsaregoingonanditsfreakingmeout".

Jimin couldn't catch everything at first so there was a long pause before he spoke on what he did hear, "BITCH, YOU FOUND YOUR SOUL MATE?!"

"Ok, that's not the point, but yes. Yippie and all that but I don't want it. I'm glad the imprinting didn't complete. Only now, I think it's making me.....sick". Taehyung said fidgeting with his fingers.

"Ok, you know how rare that is? And how lucky you are? I would give anything to find my soul mate. To get rid of this missing piece I keep feeling? Any wolf would be happy to find their match".

"well, not me. Ok? I'm fine with being alone. I prefer it".

"No Tae, I think you only think you're 'fine' with it. I think you're too afraid to feel beyond anything physical. That's why you sleep around so damn much. To fill in whatever void you're trying to pretend that's not missing".

Taehyung was shocked. Jimin never spoke to him this way before, at least not this seriously anyway. Then again Taehyung knew that Jimin always wanted that romantic kind of relationship, maybe he was just mad that Taehyung didn't care for it as much as he would have.

"Look Jimin, if it means that much to you, you can have him. Don't belittle my life choices and act like you know me so well".

Taehyung got up to go back to his room when Jimin called out, "I'm just trying to be a friend Tae. That sick feeling you're getting has something to do with all of this. If you can't deal with your own truth, it's going to ruin you".

Tae turned and gave Jimin a nasty look, "No one asked you to be a 'friend' Jimin. You can eat the pizza yourself while minding your own business. I think you got your own inner demons to deal with. Do mommy and daddy dearest know that you're swinging for the other team yet?"

Taehyung couldn't see the hurt on Jimin's face because he had already closed the one door that was barely opened to begin with. He doesn't even care that he probably just lost the one and only person who truly cared for him.
