"Where's Jungkook?"

Taehyung asked Hoseok who's currently having a talk with Yoongi inside the huge throne room.

The omega has been looking for his alpha the moment he woke up and noticed the right side of the bed empty.

He's been roaming around the whole place, trying to locate where his alpha might have been.

The beta turned to look at the omega, smiling a little upon seeing the cute pout on his lips.

"He went on an important meeting."

Taehyung's face turned gloomy and disappointed upon hearing Hoseok's response. He pouted even more which made the beta chuckle a bit.

"Why the sad face?" He inquired, tapping the empty chair beside him, inviting the omega to sit with them.

Taehyung took the invitation and sat comfortably beside Hoseok with Yoongi sitting opposite to them.

"I hope I'm not interrupting an important conversation between you two." Taehyung said, a little apologetic.

"Nah. We're already done discussing the important part when you arrived." Hoseok responded, smiling at the omega who keeps on sulking.

"Why didn't he tell me he's leaving?" Taehyung mumbles, his pout not leaving his lips.

Hoseok extended his hand to ruffle his hair, his smile as contagious as ever. They were able to feel comfortable with each other after the past few weeks since Taehyung's return.

"Maybe he just doesn't want to wake you up." He said, trying to cheer up the sulking omega by his side.

"Still, he should have told me if he's leaving or what." Taehyung mumbles, his face turning sour every passing time.

His sulking was interrupted by a chuckle from the man sitting in front of him.

The omega rolled his eyes and pouted even more. "Yoongi-hyung, are you seriously laughing at me?"

The older male grinned, wanting to piss him some more. "Yeah, 'cause you look like a child who pissed on his shorts."

"Yah!" Taehyung bickered back which only ignited laughs from the two betas.

"Just wait for him Tae. He'll be back tonight." Hoseok said, trying to suppress his laugh.

Taehyung sighed in defeat. There's nothing he could do but wait for Jungkook to return.

"I guess I'll just stay inside my room then." Taehyung muttered, aiming to stand from his seat when Yoongi suddenly speaks, suggesting something that Taehyung never thought he'd ask.

"Say, do you want to come with me?" Yoongi started, making Taehyung raise his brow in curiosity.

"Where?" He responded.

Yoongi shrugs his shoulders. "I'm visiting Jimin. Mind if you come?"

Taehyung stared at the older male, his expression unreadable. He slowly nodded his head in response to the latter's question.

It was a long walk, both decided not to transform into their wolf form and just silently walk on the path leading to their destination.

The two were enveloped in a kind of silence that felt like they are both holding back things they really want to say.

Taehyung has his eyes in front of him, not wanting to speak and break the serenity of the forest with only the gushing of the wind and humming of the birds filling the air.

He could finally see the huge angel oak tree in the middle of the vast forest where Jimin's tomb lies.

The omega stopped in front of the tree where a wooden carving is planted in the soil as a marking.

A carving of a beautiful flower that Taehyung hasn't seen before. A kind of flower that instantly reminds him of Jimin's bright smile.

"He's here."

Taehyung turned his head to Yoongi who slowly stooped down on the ground, his hand tracing the flower carving.

The omega could see the love in the man's eyes. He could feel the tenderness behind those sorrowful eyes and right there and then, he knew that Yoongi is just like him.

He lost someone he loves.

"I'm sorry." Yoongi muttered, his eyes still fixated on the wooden carving planted on the ground.

"I'm sorry for not telling you the truth even though I knew it all along." Yoongi said, his voice soft.

Taehyung shakes his head. "It's okay, hyung. I understand." He answered in a hushed tone.

Yoongi smiled as if he's imagining that Jimin is in front of him in flesh. "You know Tae, Jimin always talks about you." He lifted his gaze to look at the omega.

"He would always tell me how badly he wants to tell you the truth, to shout for everyone to know that you're his son." Yoongi stood, motioning Taehyung to have a closer look at the tomb.

"But everytime he does, he holds back. He wants you to know the truth, but he's not prepared for the consequences it might bring." Yoongi continued, letting Taehyung have a moment to stare at his father's tomb.

"He loves you Tae, so much he's willing to leave the pack just so he could save you. He loves you to the point of forgetting he's a wolf so he could live with you. I want you to know this, Taehyung. Even though you are a mistake for some, but for him, you are the greatest gift he could ever have." Yoongi said in almost a whisper.

There's a long silence.

There's no response from the omega who just silently sits in front of the huge tree with his back on Yoongi.

Even though there's no sound, Yoongi knows Taehyung is crying based on how his shoulders shake vigorously.

He sighed, allowing the younger to pour all his tears. He lets him cry his heart out because he knows it's the only way to let go and lift the heavy feeling in his heart.

Yoongi knows because just like him, he had cried for a long while before he could finally say that he's alright.

He's alright, but he knows his heart would no longer beat for anyone.

Because he has buried his heart with Jimin and he doesn't have any intention to get it back.

Not unless if Jimin would be back.

-----

It's already late at night but Jungkook hasn't returned yet.

Taehyung has been patiently waiting for his return inside the throne room with the rest of Jungkook's most trusted men.

He's getting worried, which has been a constant feeling whenever Jungkook is not around.

Taehyung has been a bit of a paranoid. After all that happened, no one can blame him for being anxious all the time.

"Are you sure he said he's going back tonight?"

The omega asked for God knows how many times, and Jackson is already becoming a broken cd in repeatedly answering him.

"I am sure as fuck, Taehyung. Will you fucking calm and just stay on your seat?" Jackson muttered in his usual annoyed tone that Taehyung has been accustomed with.

"Then why is he taking so long?" Taehyung whined, slumping his ass back on the chair.

As if on cue, the door to the throne room opened, revealing his alpha who looks so dashing as ever with his hair a bit unruly.

"There he is." Hoseok said, eyes darting on the incoming alpha.

Taehyung might have snapped his neck from the way he turned his head so fast. His face brightened, seeing his alpha.

"Kookie!" He beamed, almost leaping the distance between them.

He was so close to Jungkook when his eyes travelled past him, settling on the opened door.

Taehyung felt his breath hitch, stopping on his tracks to look by the door.

The world seems to have frozen, and Taehyung was left gaping at the sight.

Is this a dream?

Jungkook walked near him, wrapping his arm on Taehyung's waist. He planted a soft kiss on his cheek, smiling a little at his dumbfounded face.

"My gift, love." Jungkook whispered in his ears.

No way.

Taehyung's eyes widened, finally coming to a realization that this is real. He felt his limbs turn to jelly as waves of emotion came gushing down his whole being.

He took a step forward, legs shaking with each step. He has his eyes fixated in front of him as tears flow down his cheeks.

Right in front of him stood, a crying mess just like him...

his family.

"T-tae?"

A shaking voice of a woman echoed inside the whole room, the voice of a woman whom Taehyung knew too well.

Tianna, his mom.

Tianna rushed forward with her arms wide open, embracing her long lost son, her baby, whom she had never doubted to be alive.

Her beloved son whom she had prayed to be safe and now he's finally back in her arms.

"Oh God! T-tae.. My baby.." Tianna bursted into sobs, her body shakes in utter joy.

Taehyung wasn't able to say a single word. He has his face buried at the crook of her neck, loving the feeling of her warmth against his own.

He was so lost and yet it feels so right. He could feel his mother's body shaking in disbelief.

Is this real?

He felt huge arms wrap around his back and saw his father, face full of tears. Taehyung could not contain the emotions he's been feeling.

He was so lost in the moment as he felt two more people joining their moment, both crying and smiling at the same time.

His brothers.

Taehyung plunged himself in Namjoon's arms with Jin doing the same. The three fell into a crying mess, not wanting to let go of one another.

Fearing that if they do, everything will turn into a dream.

But no.

This is real.

Taehyung is finally in their arms.

He's alive.

The room was filled with sobs and crying, each member of the family was lost in their own world.

Words are not enough to describe the happiness that they feel in that moment.

Finally, they are complete again.

Jungkook and the others silently watch the whole scene. He felt his heart thump at the sight of Taehyung crying so hard in happiness.

After the night Taehyung cried in his arms about Jimin, Jungkook had thought of something to cheer him up.

He doesn't want to see Taehyung hurt anymore. All he wants is to see him smiling, eyes shining brightly from happiness, and cry only because of joy.

And he knew there's only one thing that could make Taehyung whole again.

And that's his family.

Right now, seeing the overflowing joy in Taehyung's eyes, he realized that his decision of letting his family visit their pack is one of the greatest decisions he has ever made.

He couldn't be happier.

Jungkook saw Taehyung lift his head, eyes focusing on him. He saw how his lips turned into his boxy smile as tears keep flowing in his eyes.

The alpha felt his heart beat a thousand times, seeing how Taehyung mouthed the words "Thank you." with the brightest smile that melts his heart.

"Anything for you, love." Jungkook mouthed back.
