Wow some of you actually guessed what I had planned for Jk to do😆 anyways enjoy!

~

Jeongguk considered himself a lucky wolf. Which is why he had been able to live for this long with a brother in power looking to bleed him dry.

And his luck seemed to be on his side this time too because with a guilty mind but an ecstatic wolf inside him, he turned Taehyung's doorknob and it turned out to be unlocked. Jeongguk was beyond surprised but he figured that there were no thieves when you were living in your family home.

Before his luck says goodbye, he quickly stepped into the room and the moment he inhaled the air inside, his knees grew weak under him. He felt dizzy as if a massive dose of dopamine had been injected into his veins. And his wolf hummed in euphoria.

He took a few more breaths, feeling as if his wolf was finally calming down after months, even though it had been less than a day since this feeling started. He would love to wake up to this scent for the rest of his life, if he could. His wolf would be at peace all the time if he was surrounded by this scent.

However he couldn't stay hidden in Taehyung's room until this feeling vanishes. Therefore, he quickly looked around the room, not really sure what exactly he was looking for.

And then it caught his eye: a sweater thrown over the sofa. Jeongguk slowly made his way towards it and picked it up. His wolf had full control over his body when he brought the thick material to his nose and took a deep inhale. His whole body numbed with ecstasy the moment the smell of forest entered his system and Jeongguk knew from the way this smelled like Taehyung's body itself, the alpha had just taken it off.

Jeongguk hugged it tightly to his chest, feeling tears prick the backs of his eyes. His whole body felt light and floaty, just like his head. It was like being drunk, but in a much blissful way.

He walked around the sofa and further into the room. He had only one purpose: to find more clothes. He wasn't quite surprised at the lack of dirty clothes around the place. However Jeongguk's wolf howled with delight the moment he entered the bedroom, upon seeing quite a few clothes on a rack as well as a few on the bed and the floor. He picked up a few garments; all of it drenched in the alpha's scent as if Jeongguk was taking a whiff out of the alpha himself.

He didn't pick up any underwear though, no matter how tempting the few pieces of underwear scattered across the bedroom looked. Jeongguk was no pervert. His intentions were innocent. His wolf only needed comfort.

If he was on heat, however...

Jeongguk didn't stay for long, even though he wanted to stay for a bit more. He closed the front door behind him and sneaked into his own room. He quickly threw all the articles of clothing on his bed, and arranged them as his heart desired, until it took the satisfactory form of a nest.

The nest was small, Jeongguk knew. Much smaller than what he would make pre-heat. However he was desperate and didn't have enough resources. Stealing (borrowing, because he was intending to give them back) was wrong enough and Jeongguk couldn't believe he actually did that. However, the way his wolf visibly calmed down as he hugged one of Taehyung's sweaters made Jeongguk feel like maybe this wasn't so bad after all.

He wasn't thinking quite clearly. Not since he stepped into Taehyung's territory- his room. Nor was he thinking quite clearly now, curled into a ball surrounded by Taehyung's scent. He took deep inhales from the alpha's hoodie, the calming scent of forest flowing into his body like a drug.

With his relaxed body and relaxed wolf, Jeongguk found himself slipping into a dreamless slumber once again.

-

Jeongguk knew it was fucked up.

But he had accepted that he, as an omega, had needs. And that included an alpha's scent to feel comfort and the said alpha's clothes to build his nest.

Jeongguk also knew that he was not to disregard his wolf's needs and wants. He had no control over it. Which is why he found himself sneaking into Taehyung's room the next day, and the day after and the day after.

Jeongguk knew he wasn't necessarily doing anything wrong. He wasn't stealing. Stealing was wrong. Borrowing was't.

Four days since he started sneaking into Taehyung's room, his wolf was yet to come back to its normal stage. He didn't understand why he still needed to nest. However his wolf insisted that he needed the comfort of Taehyung's scent that weakened with each passing day. Hence the need to get more clothes.

The fifth day, Jeongguk got a call from Yoongi, the only person he could trust from his pack and even though the call itself brought him comfort, the flashbacks triggered from the call didn't sit right with his wolf.

He was starting to feel better and the flashbacks only made his wolf crawl back into his cave, trembling with fear and discomfort. And Jeongguk' anxiety crept right into his bone once again and he found himself crawling into a ball, surrounded by Taehyung's now weak scent that barely did justice to his shaking wolf.

And even though the only option was to go back to Taehyung's room and steal a few clothes out, he didn't have the energy to even leave his nest.

Therefore he resorted to staying in the nest- where he felt the safest at that moment.

-

Taehyung would be a fool to not understand something was happening right under his nose.

First it started with one sweater that he noticed was missing. And then a few of his dirty laundry. Until half of his wardrobe was gone and he only had a few of his old, faded jeans and shirts to wear.

His favourite hoodie was gone too! And Taehyung was planning to wear it to the dinner gathering that night!

He had thought he had misplaced it. He just couldn't find it. But it clicked that there was no way he misplaced half of his wardrobe! Someone was stealing his clothes.

Secondly, Taehyung would be no alpha if he didn't smell the lingering caramel scent the first day he found out the sweater he had thrown over the sofa was missing. Taehyung was pleased with the caramel scent- it meant that Jeongguk's scent only lingered in his room from the previous day. And he didn't think much of it because his wolf was too busy happy-dancing.

However the scent continued to linger for the next few days too. And in many places around the room, in places he knew Jeogguk didn't go on his first day too. Moreover, there was no way the scent could linger for a few days as if it was fresh.

In conclusion, Jeongguk was stealing his clothes.

Lastly, Taehyung couldn't help but feel something was wrong somewhere. His wolf had been sulking since the day after he and Jeongguk first kissed. And Taehyung had thought it might have been because he was craving to speak to Jeongguk, but no. It was much more than that and his alpha instincts said that something was wrong. Out of place. However Taehyung didn't know what to do about it.

Now on the fifth day, he stood in front of Jeongguk's door, trying to gather the courage to knock on the door. He wanted to confront Jeongguk and maybe he could help Jeongguk with whatever his clothes problem was.

He wasn't mad at the omega. Only concerned about him.

Taehyung took a deep breath, finally summoning all the courage he had left and knocked on the doorbell. He waited, until he started hearing small footsteps. The door opened only a minute later and the moment Jeongguk's figure appeared behind the door, Taehyung's eyes widened.

Jeongguk looked breathtaking- his hair was a mess atop his head, as if he hadn't combed it in a while and his eyes looked puffy, along with his cheeks and lips. His lips formed an adorable pout.

And it looked as if he was weaning nothing underneath Taehyung's favourite hoodie that only reached the middle of his milky, thick thighs.

Taehyung's mouth dropped open at the sight, feeling his wolf go crazy inside him.

Jeongguk looked so beautiful, petite, adorable, delicate and vulnerable.

And Jeongguk's reaction as he looked at Taehyung was equally priceless. His doe eyes widened, mouth parting in surprise. As if he had been caught red-handed.

But Taehyung had no care for that. He felt his mouth go dry as he continued to stare at Jeongguk- up and down.

All the feelings he had tried to suppress were coming to the surface now. The kiss, the tension they shared and the unrequited feelings that surfaced with that interaction.

And the way his wolf absolutely went insane with every thought of Jeongguk. Taehyung hadn't been able to stop thinking about Jeongguk for five minutes straight. The omega always occupied his mind.

Taehyung couldn't deny the insane attraction he had felt towards the omega.

All their spiteful interactions had led to this very instance. And the kiss- thinking about the scenario had been his guilty pleasure.

And he wished with all his might to kiss the omega once again. In a much peaceful manner, not in a hurry. Taehyung wanted to savour his taste. To kiss him exactly the way he knew he needed to.

Taehyung knew Jeongguk had been ignoring him for the past few days. But that didn't stop him from imagining all the things he wanted to say and do to the omega.

However, standing in front of the same person now, Taehyung was tongue-tied.

"T-Taehyung" Jeongguk stuttered, his cheeks dusting pink as he stared at Taehyung with wide, puppy-like eyes.

"Jeongguk" Taehyung gulped and then it hit him. The sweet, sweet scent of Jeongguk. So thick in the air like mist. His eyes widened.

"Are you in heat?" Taehyung blurted out.

"I.." Jeongguk tried.

Taehyung inhaled deeply, starting to feel a little dizzy from all the pheromones. And then he realized that the scents didn't smell like lust and arousal. More like distress and restlessness.

"Pre-heat?" Taehyung asked, finally the reason for all his lost clothes making sense. However, why did Jeongguk steal Taehyung's clothes only? Why not anyone else's?

"N-no I just..." Jeongguk fumbled with his fingers.

"Do you need any help?"

"W-what?"

Taehyung cursed himself in his head. "Shit, that came out wrong. I mean, do you need help of any sort? I mean food or..."

Jeongguk's eyes started growing bigger, if possible. They became glassy with tears and his bottom lip quivered.

"C-can you help me?" Jeongguk whispered.

Taehyung felt his heart break. He lifted his hand to touch the side of Jeongguk's face hesitantly, and he thought the omega would lean away. However as his hand neared Jeongguk's cheek, the omega leaned in, his hot cheek meeting Taehyung's cold hand. Jeongguk closed his eyes and let out a small sigh. He brought both of his hands and held Taehyung's hand.

"What do you need?," Taehyung whispered.

The omega's eyes fluttered open, pout forming on his lips.

"Alpha, please"

Taehyung's mouth dropped open.

"You. I need you"
