Luckily for Jungkook, Namjoon could care less about the peck he snuck. Namjoon was more interested in why his son needed to be carried home to begin with. So after a long half hour of explaining the nights events, in vague detail, to the Kim's. Jungkook left with a million thoughts running through his head. Every single one of them circling back to Tae.

Ugh, seriously, what are you doing to me? He pauses in the Kim's front yard while looking up at the moon. His beautiful star gazing is interrupted once he feels his phone vibrating.

Jimin: Kookie, what the hell, where are you? Have you seen Taetae? I'm getting worried. Bogum won't answer the phone.

Jungkook: Meh, long story. Tae is at home and I'm heading to my house now. Enjoy your night with Yoongi, I'll talk to you tomorrow chim.

At least one of us got who we wanted tonight.

Just like that Jungkook darted into the woods, ready to be home and reflect on the fact that he kissed Taehyung. What the hell was he thinking? Why would he think to do that anyway. Yah, he looked like an angel lying there. I couldn't resist.

If there was anything Jungkook was good at, it was not being aware of his surroundings. Once again, he didn't notice that a certain brunette had gotten out of bed and was watching him from the window—wearing the biggest smile.

Smol Body Guard: Damn it, Tae. call me back. What happened tonight? Did Park mess with you? Kook told us you're home. We're on our way.

Tae🦁: Woah, woah—we? As in you and Jimin? You guys are still together?

Smol Body Guard: Yeah, we're together. We've been looking for your ass for hours. Since neither you nor Park could bother to answer the phone we had to rely on Jungkook. Was he with you guys?

Tae🦁: You don't let anything go do you? We will talk when we get home, besides I'm sure Pops and Amahan will be waiting for you. #gotsomeexplainintodo loool sorry SUGA, you know how they are. Better get your kisses in with Jiminie while you can. 😉

That little fucker. Yoongi's cheeks turned to a light pink after reading Tae's comment.

"Come on, Jimin. Tae is awake. Uh, just a warning. I'm gonna get my ass chewed out by Alpha Joon and Luna Jin so just head on up to Tae's room once we get there."

"YAH! Why? What did you do?" Jimin looked so cute when he was worried.

"Well considering Tae disappeared for a few hours and made his own way back home—I as his guardian, am in for an earful." Yoongi says with a sly smirk on his face at the thought that just came to his mind.

"Maybe you can make me feel better after my scolding?" He says, while winking at Jimin. Sending Jimin's heart fluttering.

"mmm, what exactly do you have in mind?" Jimin says playfully as he slaps Yoongi on his ass, climbing into their uber.

"Why hello boys, Jimin....YOONGI.." Seokjin says with a smile that looks more sinister than sincere. "Jimin honey, Tae is in his room you are welcome to go up there—I have some things to discuss with my nephew before he joins you." Though his voice is calm, Yoongi can feel the fire that is raging inside Seokjin's mind right now. So much so that he hasn't even noticed Namjoon who is sitting on the couch—looking especially pissed off.

"Good luck, hyung." Jimin says quietly before ascending the stairs towards his Taehyung. Whom by the way, still hasn't left his window sill.

Yoongi jumped back when he heard the deep growl released by Namjoon.

"Speak. NOW."

"Well u-uh, Alpha...I'm not sure what you would like me to say"

Seokjin scoffs and rolls his eyes at the ignorant comment made by Yoongi. "Well how about you start with why my son was delivered home unconscious by someone OTHER than his guardian..and then you can proceed to tell me why my son has been here for an hour and I haven't had a single call or message from you."

Yoongi feels sad, he knows he messed up. He was so caught up in the party and his new eye candy that he forgot his duties as an assigned guardian—and he clearly knows that Taehyung was in some type of danger. "I am so, so sorry amahan... we were all together at the party. Then the next thing I knew, Taehyung was gone. Whenever Jungkook told me he had went off with Bogum, I assumed it was okay since that was his date." He takes a deep breath "but I'd be lying if I pretended to know why Taehyung was unconscious. Did Kook say anything?"

Namjoon's face went from pissed off to concerned. He's never heard Yoongi sound so sad. He clearly didn't realize the situation they were in. Both Namjoon and Seokjin can sense the worry coming over the young wolf in front of them. They make eye contact and smile.

"Yoongi, everything is fine. Don't worry. Apparently Taehyung simply had too much to drink and that Alpha Bogum thought it would be a good chance to claim our son." Seokjin walks towards Yoongi placing an arm on his shoulder "Thankfully, Hoseok happened to be in the area and prevented it from going too far. Jungkook was kind enough to escort Tae home and place him in bed. I'm sure Tae can't wait to see you."

Yoongi is speechless. He can't believe Taehyung was in such a position and he had no idea. Not even as a guardian but as his best friend—Yoongi felt so disappointed in himself. He turns to his elder wolves and bows. "If you don't mind, I'd like to go apologize to Tae for not noticing Park was a scumbag before we even left for the party"

NamJin both chuckle at Yoongi's comment. Happy to see him back to his cold/sarcastic self. No matter how frustrated they were to begin with. They are just thankful both wolves made it home in one piece. When receiving a random phone call from Hoseok—their minds immediately go back to that terrible day when they thought they lost their baby. Both were terrified to feel that worry again. So they just sat on the couch and decided to take a nap while letting the young one's catch up and rest.

They've all had an incredibly long night.

~Sunday Morning~

Taehyung, Jimin and Yoongi all fell asleep on the floor of Tae's room after discussing the previous nights events. It was quite funny seeing the three wolves all huddled up like children in the floor.

"Wake up boys, breakfast is ready!" Seokjin happily shouts right over their heads. Causing all three of them to jump up in a panic.

"Yah! Eomma that was so rude!" Taehyung said while rubbing his eyes.

Jimin and Yoongi just start laughing at how adolescent Taehyung looked in that moment. They both nearly forgot that last night he was a drunk, grinding mess. And no they would never let him live it down.

"Tae, shouldn't we invite Jungkook over to eat. He is responsible for you being home after all?" Seokjin says while winking at his son and leaving the room.

"I'll just send him a text as a thank you. The food will be cold by the time he gets here anyway." Trying so hard to calm down the heat that was rising to his cheeks before his two friends could see the light pink color.

"TAETAE, SPILL"

"What do you mean, Jiminie?"

"Um, how normally at the sound of 'Junglebooks' name you would sigh and roll your eyes—but just now you looked, flustered."

Damn it Jimin, why do you have to be so persistent all the damn time. Taehyung quickly was trying to think of how to play this off. He surely couldn't admit that he thinks he might have a crush on Jungkook. After all, Jungkook most likely isn't even his mate—so there is no point in allowing feelings to bloom anyway.

"Well yeah Jimin, you would be flustered to if you were nearly raped TWICE and the same little shit head was responsible for saving you. As if you were some damsel in distress. It's fucking embarrassing." It's actually incredible. Tae thinks to himself while getting up to grab his phone—to text a certain little shit head good morning.

Jimin and Yoongi lock eyes, but both agree just to drop it. Tae really has had a long week. "Alright taetae, well let's go eat. Then I gotta go home and prepare a dance number. I'm putting on a performance at the festival next weekend!!"

"What the? Why are you performing?" Yoongi asks with a raised eyebrow. He knew Jimin was an amazing dancer but he didn't like the idea of him being on stage for hundreds of wolves to see and stare.

"Well apparently this festival is a part of a really big business deal between my pack and the humans their hosting. So they want us to go all out instead of our usual performances. Tae, you are actually coming to this one right? You haven't been to a single one of my packs festivals but your parents have been to all of them." And you're gonna die when you see Jungkook on stage. Jimin keeps that comment to himself..

Taehyung groans at the thought of another party, but he can tell how excited Jimin is for it. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going. My parents said they don't mind me going as long as Yoongi goes. Also Hoseok is supposed to be there and Hobi will most likely be watching over me the whole time."

"What's up with that anyway? I thought I was your guardian—I'm offended that my work is being undermined." Yoongi scoffs.

"Hmph, at this rate you're on your way to being fired Yoongs. Might have to replace you with Kookie at this rate." smiling at his best friend. It was cute the way Yoongi sometimes felt possessive over his role in Tae's life.

"I'm just kidding. Hobi has actually saved my ass several times and apparently the first time was the day I was born. So he's kind of like another parent in a way. Don't worry, you're irreplaceable SUGA!!" He says, pinching Yoongi's cheeks before grabbing his phone and darting downstairs laughing hysterically. Tae really loved pushing Yoongi's buttons.

Taehyung: Good morning Kook. My parents filled me in on the details of last night. Thanks for bringing me home.

Jungkook's heart skipped a beat when he saw Tae's number pop up on his phone. I really hope he didn't feel my kiss last night.

Jungkook: Nah, don't worry about it. I'm glad you're feeling better today. Don't worry, I intend to scare Bogum the same way I scared Jay. Those fuckers won't mess with you anymore.

Damn.. bold Kook.. oh well. He pressed send on the message before he could erase his reassuring threat.

Tae couldn't help but smile after reading that text. Catching the attention of Jimin who carefully watched as his friend exchanged text messages with who he presumes is his best friend, Kookie on the other end.

Taehyung:

Just kidding, honestly thank you. Not necessary though, I was pretty drunk to be honest. So there's no telling what I said before I went unconscious...

No, don't say that. It doesn't matter. Jungkook felt a small pang in his chest reading Tae's message. How could he think even for a second that last night was okay?

Jungkook: Tbh Tae, even if you looked Bogum in his eyes and told him to fuck you senseless—he would still be in the wrong. So yeah, I'll be having some words with him tomorrow at lunch. IF he is bold enough to show his face back at that school after being scared to death by Hoseok.

Taehyung: Yeah, Hobi can be one scary beast when he's pissed off. I wouldn't be surprised if Bogum soiled his pants. Lmao. Anyways, thanks again. I'll uh talk to you later I guess. Bye.

Even though Tae knew inside he wanted to talk to Jungkook all day, especially after the way Jungkook cared for him so well the night before. He knew that there was no point in growing attached to someone who wasn't his mate. It would just hurt him more later. So he decides to do what he has always done best and put up a wall. One that only his mate would be able to break down.

A/N: here's some of my fave Jungkook being protective moments.

K, Bye!!
