Chapter 48

"You need to eat something Jin. This is not good for you." Hoseok said standing by the table, a tray of food in his hand. He had a feeling he would be leaving with it, or taking it with him when he brought the next meal.

Seokjin had not eaten in three days. The omega was nauseous at the mere smell of anything, let alone the taste of it. And to top it off he didn't have any appetite. Hoseok had never seen his best friend so devastated, the omega cried for two days straight, day and night. Until his eyes hurt.

The beta was extremely worried about him. He didn't know what to do, how to handle it. Especially because Seokjin had pleaded with him to not tell anyone. Hoseok was feeling inadequate, he didn't know if comforting him would be enough anymore.

Seokjin didn't answer, his body buried even deeper in the sheets, where hoseok assumed he was crying again. The only time hoseok had seen the older catch a break was when he fell a sleep for the first time yesterday. It was only for a few hours, but he was thankful that the other's body had shut for a bit. Although he could also see how troubled he was even in his sleep. He was stirring constantly, brows knitted in worry, like he was having a nightmare.

He probably was.

"Jin please, you need to eat something." Hoseok pleaded one more time, putting down the tray of food and sitting on the bed. He shook the other lightly, before pulling back the covers when Seokjin didn't move. The omega was indeed crying. Eyes swollen and red. His tear streaked cheeks glistened in the room lit by the moon, giving him an ethereal look, different from how he felt.

Hoseok cradled his face, his heart tugging at the sight. "Jin..." "Why...why did he do that to me?" The omega cried, much like he had been doing lately. Asking the same questions he had been asking. "I don't know sweets, you just need to give it sometime, it will be alright."

Hoseok knew it wouldn't be alright.

He could see just how broken his friend was. And the most rational part of him wanted to go out there and do the right thing.

Give Namjoon a beating.

He wanted to hurt that son a bitch, make him feel even the slightest of pain seokjin was feeling. That day when he sat seokjin down to talk, the omega had told everything that happened in that office. The worry and the eventual pain that he felt when he found those two. Hoseok felt bad for his best friend, he felt like it was his fault for having told the him not worry too much. Not that if he didn't the outcome would have been different. Maybe the alpha would have played his best friend for the longest time.

Yet he couldn't help feel like there was more to the story. Something was definitely a miss. He hated to admit it but he felt like Namjoon needed to tell his side. Why exactly he would throw away the beautiful thing he had with seokjin. Hoseok was convinced he saw more than love in that alpha's eyes when he looked at Seokjin. He saw adoration. Respect. He too wanted answers to the same thing Seokjin was asking him.

"You should get something in your stomach first, this is not good for you. Please." Hoseok begged seeing as the other was ready to object. "You know I can't." Seokjin objected anyway trying to roll over to the other side. Hoseok caught his arm in place. "Yes you can, try this." Hoseok said pulling the tray of fruits and water from the table.

Seokjin eyed it, feeling his throat already close up, and hearing the painful guttural noises he would be making in a bit. Seokjin wasn't able to keep anything down since three days ago. He didn't want any food, but whenever he really tried it would just come back up. Hence the beta pushing him to eat something. He was slowly becoming dehydrated.

"I think oranges would help reinstate your appetite. You just need to take it gradually, can you do that for me?" Hoseok knew he was asking a lot, but the omega eventually nodded slowly before sitting up. Hoseok helped him to a glass of water first wetting his dry throat before he started feeding him the sliced fruits.

"You should to go to work, I'll be fine." Seokjin said accepting a sliced apple into his mouth. "Am not leaving you."

"Am fine."

"No your not." Hoseok answered back stubbornly. He wasn't going to allow the omega to push him away like he always did, then wallow in self pity. They didn't speak much after, hoseok feeding him and helping him to some water.

Seokjin's phone dinged and Hoseok watched as the other rushed to check it, tears lingering in his eyes before he placed the phone back on the bed.

He knew seokjin was waiting on the alpha. To say something, anything. To explain, clear all this up and deliver him from this suffering. But that was not the case. Namjoon had not called, not even a text for the days seokjin had been with him. It angered hoseok more and broke the omega even further. Like what the actual fuck? His need to punch that man was growing every hour.

"I think you should talk to your dad at least." Hoseok urged putting the empty plate down. Seokjin only shook his head. "Not yet, if he really needs to know then I'll tell him." Hoseok frowned at that answer. It was so Seokjin. Hiding. Although he wasn't going to pressure him.

"Try to stay calm so you don't throw up once more, we'll try some more food later if you-" A loud knock at the door cut hoseok off and his eyes met the omega in silent wonder. "Am not expecting anybody." He stated, warning the omega in a statement. It could be anyone.

"I'll go see who it is." Hoseok stated the omega nervously nodding. Seokjin feared it would be his alpha, but a part of him wanted it to be him too. He wanted answers.

Hoseok opened the door, preparing himself for the worst. But one could never be prepared enough for Yoongi. He flashed a fake smile to the alpha. "Why are you not at work? Yoongi asked immediately

"Am not feeling well."

"What is troubling you? You look perfect to me."

"I have a stomach bug, but its contained so I'll be fine." Hoseok lied through his teeth with every question.

"I need to talk to you." Yoongi stated seriously the beta only nodding not moving from the door. "Your not going to let me in?" Yoongi raised a brow.

"Is this gonna take long, because I need to lie down." Hoseok knew he shouldn't lie to his friend. But seokjin had begged him not to let the alpha know. "Your not a really good liar hoseok, you know that?" Yoongi said with a serious face that sent chills down the beta's back.

"Why is my brother here?" He asked having smelt the other's spiked scent all the way from the door.

"What do you mean?" Hoseok tried but yoongi only gave him a really look. The alpha wasn't in a mood to joke. He was pissed, but mostly worried. Something wasn't right and he didn't know what it was.

They were suppose to go shopping yesterday. With Taehyung and seokjin, but the omega had bailed on them. In fact he didn't show at all. No texts or phone calls. Yoongi didn't think so much of it, leaving a message when the other wouldn't pick up. Seokjin didn't call him back like he always did. So casually yoongi had dropped at his work place on his way to some errands. But he even got more shocking news.

Wendy informed him that seokjin had not showed to work for three days now, and neither had Namjoon. Neither of them left any messages and they weren't home either. The secretary had assured yoongi that she checked. She also mentioned that something seemed weird, and Hoseok seemed to know something since the beta had only come to work briefly before leaving again and gave vague answer when the she asked him about the two. She promised to let Yoongi know of any updates as soon as she located Namjoon's phone

Yoongi knew it was unlike his brother to just leave unannounced, not that the omega told him everywhere he went especially now that he was mated. Countless scenarios ran through his mind, where his brother and brother in law could have been.

So he drove to their home, and security checked with Wendy's story. The two had left separately for work that morning but neither of them had returned. Yoongi didn't want to start obsessing over anything, so he followed the only next lead which was hoseok.

To say he was relieved when he smelt his brother's scent at hobi's would have been an understatement. Although that didn't take away all his worries, if anything he had more questions.

He pushed past hoseok getting into the house. Immediately the sound of someone of throwing up filled his ears, and he held the beta's gaze who had guilt written over him. "Am sorry yoon, I wanted to tell you." Hoseok said knowing they were caught already.

Yoongi was ready to hit him with questions but they both heard the toilet flash and the door open before a tired crying seokjin appeared. Yoongi's eyes met his brother's and they both froze just staring. Yoongi then moved his eyes between the two waiting for anybody to answer the silent questions but nobody did.

"Why are you crying?" Yoongi finally voiced, his alpha instincts already taking over him. Seokjin slightly whimpered at the pheromones the other was releasing. "Why are you crying Jin?" Yoongi asked again but seokjin only broke into a cry before he moved forward hugging his brother.

He cried into yoongi's embrace not able to keep it in. Yoongi held him, rubbing at his back although his patience was running out. He pulled the other away, studying his swollen face and his whole disheveled appearance. He ran his hand on the other's face before he gripped both side of the other's neck so seokjin could look at him properly but he earned a small hiss from the other instead.

He lifted his hand immediately, eyes meeting the red throb over the others mark. "What happened to you?" He narrowed his eyes at the mark, it looked painful, like it had been there a few days now. He was confused because the skin didn't look torn or irritated, almost like it was highlight from the inside.

"Sit y-yongi." Seokjin tried when he saw realization dawn on the other. He could see how his eyes hardened instantly, and his pheromones filled the room.

"No." Yoongi said. It wasn't even the response to the Omega's request, it more of a denial of the truth that stood right in front of him. Highlight of marks when a bond was disrupted was not common anymore, but seokjin bared his. A clear indication of his alpha's betrayal.

Yoongi stepped back when he saw the tears in his brother's. "He did not." He growled, eyes going red. He looked between the two in the room, not pleased that something this serious had happened and it was hidden from him. "That son of a bitch has some got some nerve." He thundered.

Seokjin attempted to pull at his brother to calm him down. Seokjin might have needed the comforting, but his brother was an animal if his rage flared. "Calm down yoongi." Hoseok said earning a death glare from the alpha. He didn't back down though. "Let Jin tell you everything first." He added, the alpha finally looking at his brother who was having a hard time breathing from his pheromones.

Yoongi got himself under control pulling seokjin to sit on the couch and signalling hoseok to sit too. He waited with clenched fists, trying to contain the storm inside of him. "Did he cheat on you?" Yoongi asked when Seokjin looked like he had trouble speaking.

The omega wiped his tears before he nodded. Yoongi watched his brother coil to himself as a painful sob wracked him. So hoseok continued instead, he told yoongi the things seokjin had told him. He explained in details how Seokjin had to him.

By the end of it Jin was in whimpers, Hoseok was getting emotional watching his best friend. And yoongi was numb. "So where is Namjoon?" Yoongi asked rather calmly. "We don't know, he...he hasn't reached out either." It sounded bad, and at the back of Seokjin's mind he brewed his theories. Why Namjoon had not contacted him. A lot of them involved Namjoon abandoning him or eloping with seulgi. He only imagined Namjoon finally discovering his true self. Perhaps breaking under his grasp like Seulgi had said, he feared that Namjoon had really chosen someone else.

They were quiet for a while. Just the sounds of their breathing. "Don't cry anymore. It will be fine." Yoongi let out, his eyes anywhere but the omega. He didn't know how to comfort the him, even worse with the fury he was feeling.

Yoongi stood after, it was already night and he needed to find that fucker. "I should go, I'll see you two tomorrow." He said moving to the door. Seokjin observed the calmness in the other's eyes and he knew it was war. The irony.

"Please don't hurt him." Seokjin said pleadingly. Even this hurt he couldn't imagine something bad happening to Namjoon. He didn't want the alpha harmed whatsoever. It sounded pathetic, but he knew it was because he loved still. The same way he did yesterday and before.

Yoongi stopped at the door glaring at nothing. "I can't promise you that." The alpha said simply. He couldn't even trust himself. He only shared a secret look with hoseok. Asking the beta to take care of his brother to which Hoseok nodded before yoongi left.




Is it just me, or there aren't enough Namjin and Sope books out there🤔
