Jungkook sighed as he allowed himself to fall into his bed, closing his eyes exhausted. What a day. The young Alpha had received so much attention today, more than he usual did which already was a lot. All because of the beautiful Omega who decided to become his friend.

Taehyung had been the center of the attention, he was beautiful, kind, sweet, to put it simple, the perfect picture of an Omega. Hearing that he was the biker Omega, the Baby of the Seoul Snakes was unusual but it gave him respect and admiration.

It was cool, different. He might look like a stereotypical Omega but he was different. In Taehyung's case, it was admirable because it added to his charisma. In Jungkook's case, it was humiliating to see an Alpha flaunting around in skirts and pretty dresses.

It was exhausting yet Jungkook did not choose to blame Taehyung, not even once. The Omega had been genuinely interested in him, Taehyung was such a nice sweet kid that Jungkook couldn't hate him. Taehyung also didn't do anything wrong.

It wasn't his fault that the society was judgemental and was based on looks.

And Jungkook really did appreciate Taehyung's efforts. He even introduced Jungkook to Jimin, overexcited and so cute Jungkook felt a stab in his chest because he had been so rude to Taehyung. It wasn't his fault, he did it to protect the pretty Omega from getting hurt by meaningless rumors that were far more dangerous than one might think.

Jimin on the other side was as sassy as he was pretty, he was honest with his words and he absolutely loved heels. A little bit unusual but the glare on Jimin's face dared everyone to say something to him and they would see what they would get themselves into.

Jungkook immediately understood where Taehyung got his confidence from.

He understood a lot, especially understood Taehyung's and Jimin's relationship. Also because the young Omega was babbling so much, it was on the urge to being annoying but Taehyung did it in such an adorable way that Jungkook, the usual reserved silent guy, found himself listening intently.

Jimin and Taehyung had been friends since kindergarten and they basically grew up together. Back in middle school, they unfortunately moved away because of Jimin's father, he had a new job in another city.

They reunited three years ago, Jimin moving back to town. He stumbled upon Namjoon, Taehyung's second elder brother and they fell in love. They completed the mate bonding and since then, Jimin was more part of the family then he was before.

Jungkook also learned that Seokjin, the eldest of the Kims and leader of the Seoul Snakes, was everything an Alpha should be: dominant, possessive, intense, impulsive, a little bit on the violent side but with a gentle heart and a love for bad jokes.

Jungkook also knew another one who loved bad jokes, his best (and only) friend Yoongi.

Hearing Taehyung ramble about his family gave Jungkook another ache in his heart. Taehyung was so cute, Jungkook couldn't be friends with him. Because he knew himself, he would fall in love. And why would Taehyung choose him when he could have any Alpha he wanted?

An alpha who was good enough to fit to his image, to protect and guard the Omega like Jungkook never could. Hell, he was sensitive to strong scents, sometimes even to his own! Jungkook could never be the proper Alpha Taehyung deserved.

So Jungkook decided to protect his heart and had distanced himself from the pretty Omega, he had eaten lunch with Yoongi like usual and went to his classes, avoiding Taehyung like the plague.

He felt the insides of his chest crushed whenever he caught Taehyung's hopeful puppy eyes and Jungkook had quickly dug his head before scurrying away. It was for the best. Still, Jungkook felt horrible, arriving home with tears in his eyes.

Taehyung just wanted to make friends at his new school, he didn't seem to have ill intentions and of course would he approach someone he already knew. Just bad for him that this was Jungkook, someone the whole school badmouthed.

And Jungkook certainly didn't want that for Taehyung, beautiful, precious Taehyungie who deserved a throne and not a seat in an empty classroom next to the shame of all Alphas. 

Stereotypical speaking, Taehyung was perfect - and Jungkook was not. He had learned to adjust to it, knowing that his change was his own decision and he had perfectly lived with it, the support of his best friend and his parents the only thing that counted.

Now, with the pretty Omega in the picture, Jungkook suddenly craved to be who he had been: a stereotypical Alpha society would be proud of. Because Taehyung deserved the best and Jungkook certainly wasn't that, he was aware, thanks.

 The Alpha rubbed a hand over his forehead, breathing out a long sigh. He was annoyed with himself, annoyed with his current situation. Sometimes Jungkook wanted to return to normal. Where he had been a football player, was popular and had girls equal guys fanning over his handsome looks.

But he had chosen a different path for himself and Jungkook doubted that he could redeem that decision - even if he wanted to, which he actually didn't.

Until Taehyung had moved into the picture. And now, Jungkook was stuck with his embarrassing crush on the gorgeous Omega, wishing for something he possibly could never have.

A ding from his phone brought his attention out of his self-hating thoughts and Jungkook removed his hand from his forehead, flipping over to reach his phone. He had a new message and Jungkook furrowed his brows once he saw the contact.

"Jungkook! There's someone at the door for you!" Jungkook heard his mother shout from downstairs and the young Alpha stared at his phone in disbelief before getting up from his bed in order to see who was the visitor. But Jungkook already had an assumption who it was.

He stayed right. When he moved to stand next to his shorter mother who was a gorgeous Alpha herself, dressed in work slacks from having returned home just now and who was staring at the male standing on their stoop.

"What are you doing here?", Jungkook asked in utter disbelief.

"Hey cute cherry", Taehyung grinned.
