"Yes! I feel perfectly fine now Jiminie, Yoongi, Hobi hyung. I've rested well for the past five days."

"You sure did! And I still don't forgive that bastard! And you too Tae! Hmp!"

"Yah..stop sulking Mochi. But.... Taehyung, it's really a shocker."

"I agree. Tae, we were as shocked as you when you just suddenly realized that Jungkook is your mate which usually, in a normal situation, a werewolf would immediately know his mate on first sight, smell or contact."

"I know Hobi hyung...I-I also...don't know why...I mean, I was attracted to his scent but I never felt the mate bond nor the overwhelming sensation of smelling his addictive scent, hearing his calming voice or touching his irresistible smooth skin until that night."

"Tsk..That night when something happened between you two right? It was a surprise that he is your mate but I was more shocked when I saw him carrying you and taking care of you until we got home! But that's not all, you avoided me the whole trip and you sticked with him throughout...and I know...I know why you avoided me...I caught the different scent on you. You were marked Tae!"

Taehyung flinched and slightly trembled everytime Jimin raised his voice.

"Yah! Don't shout! Why are you so angry huh? Mochi?"

"Shut up Shubi. My brother could be forced or he was just blinded by this mate thing. We don't even know if they're really mates. Why did they only realized it that night!?"

Jimin scoffed and looked at Taehyung who hanged his head low.

They knew about Taehyung being marked and Jungkook being his mate but they missed another fact that Taehyung purposely hid from them. He didn't want them to know. He didn't want them to look at him differently if he tells them that he opened and offered himself up to his mate because of his heat. He felt so ashamed that he couldn't bring himself to expose his not so innocent side.

"I-I'm so sorry."

Taehyung mumbled and Jimin sighed, feeling a little guilty.

"Sorry too Tae. I just...I don't want you to be hurt or anything."

Jimin said as he cupped Taehyung's face while Taehyung smiled and nodded.

"And Tae, we don't want you to get sick too! First, you had your mate issues then second, you were seriously ill after your trip! Be healthy okay?"

Taehyung chuckled and nodded at Hoseok's remarks. It's true though. After their trip, they were supposed to have a two-day rest and they could  comeback to school after, but Taehyung extended his rest because for some reason, he had a high fever so he rested for three more days.

"I've been missing classes for the past three days. I need to cope with my lessons."

Taehyung said and they all nodded.

~•~•~••~•~•~

I entered the school and I don't feel good. I mean, who would when you're being welcomed with uncomfortable looks and hearing whispers or chuckles when you pass by.

I regret not going with my brother but I think he fought with Yoongi so I thought they needed to fix it right away and decided not to disturb them.

I sighed and I tried to ignore the eyes and whispers as I walked towards my locker...but why? Why are they looking at me like that?

Well, my question was answered when a certain someone appeared behind me.

"So...I lost huh?"

"What do you mean?"

I asked, trying to play it cool while trying to hide my nervousness.

It happened so fast. I didn't see it but right now, my hands are pinned above my head while he burried his face on the crook of my neck, sniffing and inhaling my scent. I heard gasps and people started swarming us. Well, they aren't going to help. They're just there for entertainment.

"Minho, let go!"

I shouted while I tugged my arms in hopes of escaping his hold.

But he tightened his grip and his lips brushed against my ear.

"You little slut. Did you enjoy being fucked by that piece of shit? Huh? Do you want me to do you too?"

He whispered and licked my ear which made my body shivered. I shut my eyes close and gathered all my strength. With all the courage I have I opened my eyes and kneed his balls.

He immediately fell on his knees while holding his crotch for dear life as he grunts in pain. Laughters was heard from the crowd and I just noticed that we were being filmed through their phones.

Shit, I need to get out of here immediately.

"Call me a slut once more and you'll get worse than that."

I said in a lone stern voice before leaving the scene but before I could get far, I heard Minho's threats.

"I'll make you regret this. No one humiliates the king."

I didn't care much and I dashed out of the hallway.

I thought that was over....but no.

Throughout the whole day, there are people trying to ask me if I really chose Jungkook over Minho. They kept bothering me like I'm some celebrity and they badly needed the scope so they were trying to have an 'ambush interview' which I find really, REALLY annoying!!

Yeah. Now, I am reminded that I was part of their 'Battle of the Kings'.

I sighed as I sit and leaned my back on my favorite tree. Well, I am here again at my favorite spot. I needed space and I just want to run away and hide from those aggressive 'reporters' or 'journalists'.

Well, I also got curious about how people react on this issue. It's so popular and I don't really get why they were so interested in it so I decided to open my phone and after a few press, I am already scrolling our school's web page.

I looked into topics like 'Taekook vs TaeMin' or 'Game of Thrones' or 'Battle of the Kings'.

I felt my cheeks heat up when I saw many videos and pictures of me being man handed by the two jerks. This is all crap! Why do they have all of this! And the hell with the fanarts! They drew so damn well that I couldn't even complain on why they have to draw me, naked and being fucked.

Then, I saw the latest trending video. It's Jungkook's interview about his 'win' against Minho.

"Yes. I already claimed him. He chose me. So that means I won right?"

"Was it easy?"

"Haha! You all saw how I put a lot of effort into this. Though I know I would win in the end."

"Why?"

"Obviously, Taehyung likes me and not Minho. He was just playing hard to get but now I have him."

"So, have you taken him? You know what we mean. Hahaha!"

"Uhmm..hahah..Maybe? Maybe not? I'll leave that in your imagination."

"Hahah okay, we surely will imagine a lot of stuffs! And, did you take all of this seriously?"

"I'm Jeon Jungkook and I hate losing so yeah. I did. Hahahah But I had fun and I enjoyed everything that happened, especially winning!"

"Ohhh So it's true that you're competitive. Do you have any message for Minho?"

"Uhmm...Thank you for giving your best and putting up a fight but you'll never win against me."

"Minho-shi, that was for you. Hahah Last question, what's your current relationship with Taehyung?"

"Uhmmm...nothing special? I did claim him, well more like he gave himself to me but we're not dating."

"Ohhh. We'll keep updated on your relationship status then. Anyway, congratulations and thank you for your time! Okay! Everyone that was the King of our u-"

I shut my phone off. I've seen enough.

I let out a soft chuckle with a hint of pain. I sighed and looked up to the blue sky as I let my silent tears roll down my cheeks.

So it was all part of the game huh?

All those sweetness and gentleness.

They were all lies?

You didn't mean it, do you?

Did you enjoy playing with me?

Why? I knew this from the start but it hurts...it hurts so much.

I wanted to believe the sincerety I saw in your eyes but I can't...I just couldn't. Why did you have to say those things?

We aren't dating.

That's true.

I'm nothing special for you.

That's true too.

I gave myself to you.

Yes. That's also true.

You're not lying.

I was the one who thought wrong.

Delusional.

But I just thought...that maybe...we.

We?

After all what you said and did, it turns out I was the only one giving meaning to it.

Fun?

Ahh...so it's like that.

After all that happened.

I'm just for fun.

Haha. I'm so stupid.

Sorry for the late update!
I've been doing my thesis LOL
Love you!
