2. Filming (Day-1)

"For today's schedule, we will film from 12 noon until 5 pm. Seokjin hyung will cook and the both of you will eat. Tae, you will help hyung with the cooking and I will set up the cameras. Prepare now, do your thing. Makeup, washing the ingredients, change your outfits just make sure you are ready by 11:45. I don't want tardiness today, okay?"

Taehyung and Seokjin just nodded at Jimin. Gone was the sweet little chick but is now replaced with a scary persona that is too far from what the Omega is used to. Taehyung exchanged looks with Seokjin who is nonchalant at the display of attitude seeming that the Alpha is already used to the treatment.

"Is he always like that when you film?"

Seokjin hummed and nodded, "Yeah, he is quite gentler now because you are here but when it's just us, he will yell at me like he is the Alpha in the room." Seokjin chuckled and Jimin lifted his head from his notepad and raised a brow.

"What are you still whispering about? You only have an hour and ten minutes left stop giggling and get to work!"

It was mostly Seokjin that needs to move fast because Taehyung is already dressed and the only thing he needs to do is wait for Seokjin to finish preparing himself.

"You," Jimin looked at Taehyung, "Can you please wash the ingredients, Tae? Do you know how?"

Taehyung rolled his eyes, "Of course, Minnie. I am not stupid."

Jimin broke into a smile at the remark and shook his head, "Yeah, yeah. Now go just make sure that every corner of that vegetable is cleaned, Jin hyung is very meticulous when it comes to that."

"Does he take long to get ready?" Taehyung asked as he go near the sink and washed all the ingredients.

"No, he is quick to do that, it's just that he wants to look his best today because it's his first collab and at the same time he wanted this to be the best video he will ever post," Jimin said with fondness in his voice.

"You two seem really close, huh?"

"Yes. We are more like best friends than a cousin. He treats everyone well and he helped me when I'm still struggling at school. I haven't told you this yet, but when we are in high school, my parents were going through a lot and they almost got divorced. It got really bad up to the point where they tried so hard not to see each other and ended up not coming home for weeks. Those times, I will sometimes sleepover at your house," Jimin reminisce, and Taehyung remembered those days, it was fun for him but he didn't know that Jimin is going through something.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I am shy. You have a very loving and functional family while mine was bad – at that time – and I don't have the courage. I even go to school without money for my lunch and I will tell you that I need to go to the library because of a project. I got so thin, but then Jin-hyung noticed. You see, my parents are very prideful, they keep their mess to themselves or inside the house but in front of people they are a loving couple." He laughed a little, "So yeah, he noticed that every morning my eyes are bloodshot and at night, the house is unusually quiet and dark. He came over one night with food in hand and he forced me to eat. He didn't ask questions, he just understood, and then starting that day, he will go to my house with a packed lunch for me and a sticky note that tells me that I should eat on time, and sometimes, he will split his allowance and put them in my bag. I will give it back to him, but he will say that he doesn't know where that came from. It went on for almost three years he even helped me get a part-time job. If it weren't for him, I think I would be rebellious and hate everyone in the world. He is also the happiest when my parents gathered their shit together and apologized for neglecting me. I forgave them of course, but I am much closer with Jin-hyung than them up until now. I owe him my teenage years, he was there when I got my first heat, he read tips on the internet, brought lots of blankets, and prepared an ice-cold bath for me."

Taehyung was stunned. He didn't know that his soulmate went through so much. He wiped a tear that fell on his eye just from imagining how hard it must have been to endure all of that alone and he is silently thanking Seokjin for taking care of Jimin when he wasn't aware of what's happening to his own best friend.

"Wow, I didn't know Minnie. I wished I was there for you through all of that. I am sorry I didn't notice."

Jimin shushed him and went to hug his waist. By this time, Taehyung is already done washing and cutting the vegetables. He washed his hand and hugged Jimin back.

"It's okay, Tae. I am happiest when I am with you. You made me laugh so much that I forget my problems. That is one reason why I didn't tell you. I don't want you to worry and act cautiously around me. I just want my Tete to stay the same."

"Just promise me, next time you will tell me everything, okay? Literally everything no matter how dark it is."

Jimin nodded and pulled back.

"I will, I promise." He said and kissed Taehyung's cheeks. "Now, dry your hands I think Jin hyung is done changing, he will brief you on how his channel works, and I will recheck everything. We wouldn't want the camera to die in the middle of filming."

Just in time after Jimin spoke, Seokjin came out of his room fully dressed and Taehyung noted that he is indeed handsome. And he decided that today he will be a little nicer to him because of what he had done for Jimin.

"I'm sorry it took me so long. Now, what should I do?" He went straight to the sink to probably cut the vegetables, but when he saw that it is already done, he then proceeded to cut the meat. All the while Taehyung is just watching him.

"I'm sorry I did not include that I don't know how to." Taehyung laughed awkwardly.

"It's okay. No big deal. So, Taehyung-ssi –"

"Just Taehyung. I'm fine with Taehyung."

"So, Taehyung, While I'm cutting these, I can see Minnie glaring at me which means I only have thirty minutes left. Now, here is what I do, I usually eat then make a commentary on how each food tastes, but today, I am the one who's cooking so your part is to judge my food. Disclaimer, I value honesty so if you dislike something and find it too salty you can tell me, I won't take it against you."

Taehyung nodded.

"Then what would you do?"

"While you eat, I am thinking, why not You ask me a question, anything that comes to mind. If we run out of things to ask each other and talk about then we can always pick fan questions. I am reserving it for another video, but we can always use some. I think I have a hundred questions received. We will never run out."

"We won't use a script. We are going spontaneous?" Taehyung asked and even looked at both Jin and Jimin who both nodded.

"The more genuine the better. Jimin will just give a general theme and I will eat and talk. For example, last October, I filmed for a Halloween special, and I talked about my experience as a child doing trick or treat and some scary stories I heard while growing up. It can range from anything literally. Just think like you are having a nice conversation with your friend."

The Omega just listens while Seokjin talks and busied himself on putting the ingredients in each respective place on the counter. Taehyung wondered what it was all for, but his question got answered when Jimin asked Seokjin to move away and panned a shot on it for some minutes.

"Can I ask what our theme will be today?"

Seokjin motioned him to go seat to where they would film. Taehyung sat on the floor and waited until Seokjin is now sitting beside him.

"The theme is getting to know each other. We are not yet friends Taehyung and we just know each other for not more than six hours in total so I suggested to Jimin that this will be the perfect theme of our video. I just wish that you would act natural around me, don't be nervous of what anyone will say, I'm sure they will love you if they see that you have a heart of gold."

Taehyung giggled when Seokjin winked at him.

"You are so playful. Don't worry, I will just be me."

"Good. That's more like it. So, I will cook now and you will help me?" He asked Taehyung and then turned to look for Jimin who is already walking towards them, "Minnie, what if we just time-lapse my cooking and film the eating process only while we talk?"

Jimin pursed his lips and glared at Seokjin his hands in the air like he wanted to pull Seokjin's hair. He even made an annoyed sound which made Taehyung giggle.

"I hate last-minute changes!" Both Jimin and Taehyung said in unison with the same tone.

"You never changed Minnie," Taehyung said.

"I hate you both. I already planned every minute and now you're going to change it, tsk. Fine do what you want, be as natural as you can be. I will still film, both of you still talk about anything under the sun. I will just do well with the editing. Argh, I really hate you! Like so much. I swear I will ask you to buy me every single Jungkook album present in the market, as well as the premium photo cards."

Seokjin is now full-on laughing. "I already auctioned for it. It will be on your hands in two weeks' time, Minnie."

The annoyance on Jimin's face disappeared and he immediately jumped for joy and galloped to go near Seokjin. "That is so pricey! How did you snag that?"

"Well, let's just say I saved up to give my best cousin the best gift. You deserve it for the hard work you do for me." Seokjin kissed Jimin's forehead and hugged him. "Now, stop being grumpy, and let's film. I am hungry."

==

Once everything is set up, Seokjin started cooking. They put an electric-powered stove on the table. Seokjin wants to make pork kimchi stew, fry some spam and eggs. They will it eat it with rice and cold drinks on the side. Taehyung is not against the menu; in fact, he thinks he can look forward to eating it. why the hell won't he? He saw how it is prepared and it is 100% clean, it smells delicious and it's homemade. Nothing beats a homemade recipe.

As Seokjin waits for the meat to tenderize, he faced Taehyung and with a laugh, he said, "I think we will still go with what Minnie has planned. This will take about thirty minutes to an hour maximum."

"I don't mind. You can ask me anything, Seokjin-ssi."

"Aish, don't call me that. Call me Jin or Jin-hyung whatever you are comfortable."

Taehyung bit his lip, "Okay J-Jin."

"There! Less awkward." Seokjin giggled happily.

Taehyung kept observing the man as he talks and he can see that he is such a happy person, he always smiles and giggles even at the littlest things that he enjoys. The Omega can't deny, he likes it. Having a nice and light aura around him is quite something new. When Jungkook is with him, the alpha is an absolute baby, no one can deny that, but he has this air of authority in him that even if he acts cute and soft, his Omega is still on guard. Jimin on the other hand is the same, he is like a soft marshmallow on top of hot cocoa in the morning, warm, sweet, and everything nice but he is feisty and aggressive for an omega tenfold sassier than Taehyung can ever be. And then there's Seokjin, whose an Alpha, but even if he is one, Taehyung's Omega is weirdly behaving and too silent and calm, like he just watches Seokjin's every move.

It was weird because he is not like that with Jungkook at all. If he is with the idol, his Omega will try to be on his best behavior and Taehyung always liked that. He feels like a good mate, always trying to please and be perfect.

But with Jin ...

It's really indescribable.

Like his wolf just want to bathe in Seokjin's sunshine.

It confuses the Omega, but he doesn't know what to do yet, so he just lets himself feel all these.

His thoughts were interrupted when the Alpha started to talk to the camera introducing both him and Taehyung. The Omega waved and bowed, "Hello everyone, my name is Kim Taehyung I do cover songs on my channel called TeteFm ..."

"Ohhh!" Seokjin clapped his hand. "See that Seokjinnies, we have a guest today! Not only that he is a singer too. I have listed to his covers, and they are amazing, and to have him here with us, how cool is that?"

Taehyung blushed at how Seokjin described him. They were just a few words, but as an artist, he felt so validated and his heart swells at the compliment. "Thank you, Jin-hyung. I'm glad you liked them."

"Yes, I do. My favorite is Euphoria. I heard my cousin Jimin played it and I asked him who you are, and I remember playing it on repeat because I really liked how you sang it."

Taehyung blushed when the song Euphoria was mentioned. Jungkook and him composed that song. It was about them, and the love they shared behind closed doors. Jungkook wanted so badly to tell the public about them, but because they cannot do it yet, Jungkook decided to make a song. It's a promise between them that even if there are a lot of struggles and pain, they will continue holding on to each other and that at the end of the day once they are in each other's arms they are the happiest and nothing ever in the world can compare to what they have.

"I also love that song. It's my personal favorite. It just speaks to me, you know. A love that can withstand every obstacle and one that will never let go. I love to feel those things and I am grateful that I am able to, actually." Taehyung gasped lightly when he realized that he said more than he should. So, cutting off halfway, he tried to change the flow of the conversation, "I always thank the heavens that I am able to experience that kind of love from my friends and family and of course from my supporters who always believed in me."

"For a second I thought you are going to say that you are in love," Seokjin said as he opened the lid of the pot and added the kimchi and seasonings to their food.

I am in love, Taehyung wanted to say, but he can't. One day he will, but not now.

"Oh wow, this looks good!" Seokjin exclaimed as he inhaled the aroma of the mixed spices he just put and Taehyung's mouth waters. It smelled delicious and the Omega's stomach growled.

Seokjin widened his eyes and soon enough, he erupted in laughter.

"Oh my, we need to rush cooking, Tete's tummy is already growling. Did y'all catch that?"

"Hyuuung!! It's embarrassing." Taehyung whined with a pout and pointed his hand at Jimin, "Please cut that part out."

Before Jimin can signal Taehyung an okay, Seokjin shook his head and pulled Taehyung's hand towards him and looked him in the eyes, a playful tone evident in his voice. "No, we don't do that here. Don't worry, we will feed that hungry tummy. Just wait for a few minutes."

"o-okay."

"So, while we wait, I posted on IG that me and you are having a collab and asked my followers what they would like to ask us. Are you down to answer some question?"

"Of course! I will try to answer as honestly as possible and I will ask my followers the same thing."

"Okay." Seokjin singsong as he fished his phone from his pocket. "Shall we start?"

"Yes! I am excited." Taehyung looked at the camera and spoke, "You see, this is my first time to collab with someone and I am so nervous, look at my hand it's sweating. Look, look ..." He raised his hand and moved closer to the camera to show his sweaty palms. "I usually get like this whenever I am in a situation that I am unfamiliar with, and this is one of those situations. But good thing, Jin-hyung here is my best friend's cousin and he is such a nice person. He makes me feel comfortable."

"I do?" Seokjin asked with a little smile on his face. Taehyung noticed how his ears got red, it's cute, he thinks.

"Yes. You're nice and very friendly."

The Alpha doesn't know how to respond. He cleared his throat and let Taehyung's statement go unnoticed. He blinked his eyes three times and tried to focus on his phone. It wasn't easy for Seokjin. his alpha is going wild. He wanted to yell and celebrate. It's silly. He knows. Just because a gorgeous Omega complimented him, his wolf is already acting strange like a teenager going thru his first rut.

"First question is for you Taehyung-ssi. Can you tell us why you started doing TeteFM? Who is your inspiration?"

"Oh, good question. I started doing covers over two, three years ago. At first, it was because I like singing and I have no guts to perform in front of a crowd and I initially thought that no one would really notice me at all, but then slowly, my subscribers started to grow, and now, we're here 600k and I'm grateful." He smiled at Seokjin and then at the camera. "I have to thank Jimin for encouraging me to push through. If not for him, I won't be here."

Jimin who's behind the camera out his hand on his chest and fake cried at Taehyung who just laughed at him and proceeded to tell the camera what the other omega is doing. "I hate him so much, he is fake crying right now as if he is not touched and he doesn't like it when I praise him for his hard work,"

Seokjin just laughed and checked on their food once more, and when he deemed that it is ready, he set the pot aside and replaced it with a pan and started to fry the spam and egg while Taehyung continued to talk.

"Hm, that's all there is to say, I guess. Now, how about you, Jin-hyung? Why did you start making mukbang videos?"

While flipping a piece of meat, Seokjin paused for a moment thinking about the question before he answered, "Eating and cooking is my way of relaxation. It started when I saw a video of a guy eating and a lot of people commented and watched him. I got inspired and I thought why not do it too? Maybe if people like me enough, they will want to watch me eat. Like you, I didn't think anyone would really pay attention to me, and up until now I still can't believe I already have this huge amount of people watching me, it's both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. I always try to be honest as much as possible and I always watch out for the words I say not to offend anyone. Like what I said, I didn't know I will have such a platform and it scares me most times."

Taehyung nodded. "It's amazing how we both started thinking no one will like what we put out there, but life has ways of surprising us. And I agree with what you said that as an influencer we should be incredibly careful with everything that comes out of our mouth because a lot of people is watching us and it's our responsibility to set a good example for them."

"Yes, you are so right, Taehyung. I couldn't agree more." Seokjin agreed. By this time, he is now frying the second batch of meat and Taehyung is already setting the table.

"For the second question, this time, Jin-hyung will answer first. Hm, this is an interesting question, what is your opinion about fated mates?"

"Fated mates? Oh, that's quite tough. Before I answer that, the dish is done we can eat while we continue." Seokjin arranged the table and when they are all set, he took a mouthful of rice and spam humming in delight before he went resumed answering Taehyung's question.

"I do believe in fated mates. For those who don't know what fated mates are, it's like soulmates but unlike soulmates, we have the freedom to choose whether we will be with our fated mates or not. Do you follow? For example, I am an alpha right, I have my fated mate, but if along the way, I managed to find someone and love them with my whole heart before I can see who my mate is, I have the freedom to choose the person I love than my supposed to be mate. Although as I have researched, they say that mating and loving your fate mate is the best feeling in the world. A famous rapper Namjoon said so. He had a boyfriend in the past, and he loved the guy so much, unfortunately, he died due to sickness, and time passed, he moved on and his career blossomed he found his true mate, they fell in love and he said it can't really compare."

Taehyung listened to Seokjin and nodded his head. he took a bowl of stew and tasted it. He was impressed at how good it tasted and he made a mental note to compliment Seokjin when he is done speaking.

"I know a lot of people already stopped believing in such things, but I still do. Like a child, I still hope that if my fated mate is out there, I am just here waiting for them. I won't go anywhere." He took another bite of spam as he finished his sentence. "What about you Taehyung? Do you believe in fated mates?"

What he said got Taehyung thinking. He has a different opinion about things considering his situation with Jungkook and it seems to contradict most of what Seokjin said.

"Well, I have a different opinion." Taehyung stated and paused for a second before he deemed that it was okay for him to speak, "I think that fated mates are not a thing anymore. they may have been in the past, but the world now is different from before and there are many wolves who didn't find their fated mates but still lived a happy life. Love is love. Once I felt that the person I am with is the one I am destined to be with, and by destined I mean that I chose them and they chose me and not dictated by someone else, then I think that's enough."

Seokjin who was listening to Taehyung frowned slightly at the statement and he can feel his wolf is doing the same too and is sulking at the corner of his mind.

"Hey, why are you frowning?" Taehyung said with a teasing laugh. "It's my opinion, you know. It doesn't mean it should also apply to you."

"Yeah, I know." Seokjin then played it off with a cute pout and it took Taehyung aback.

Is he really an alpha? Why is he acting all so cutesy and shit?

"I kinda wished you did believe in it too, because ... I – never mind, just eat this and tell me what you think about it." Seokjin put spam and an egg on Taehyung's rice bowl and offered him a smile. Taehyung happily accepted the food and dipped the meat in the ketchup and took a bite. Too focused on eating that he didn't even notice the ketchup stain on the side of his mouth. He hummed as he chewed the food. It tasted good. he took a slurp of the stew and it was heavenly.

Taehyung made a comment about the food and how good it was, but he can sense the alpha being so dejected beside him because of his comment.

Taehyung felt bad like he ruined a child's dream of their own happy ever after. But what can he do? That's what he believes in, and he just answered the question as honest as he can.

"Why, hyung? Did you already found your fated mate?" The Omega tried to liven up the situation.

Seokjin was about to start eating, but he put down his spoon to answer Taehyung's question. Looking at the Omega directly, he said, "I think I might have found the one, but sadly they don't seem interested in me. it's okay though. I will work my way into their heart until they cannot resist my charm."

Being under the alpha's gaze, Taehyung is already flustered, he even reddened more when Seokjin reached the side of his mouth and wiped the stain that on his lips. What made Taehyung almost run in embarrassment was when Seokjin put his thumb on his lip and licked his thumb clean.

"You're a messy eater. What am I supposed to do with you?" Seokjin giggled obviously enjoying the very flustered Taehyung.

"Stop that. You are making me embarrassed."

Seokjin smirked sexily. "Is that the good type of embarrassed?"

"What do you mean good type of embarrassed? Every embarrassment is bad, you dickhead. That is why it is called embarrassed!"

Seokjin put a hand on Taehyung's shoulder to calm him down. "A good type of embarrassed is when your heart is pounding, you want to hide, run, and you are flustered."

Taehyung is ready to defend himself and answer Seokjin's incredulous remarks. His mouth is already opened and is about to engage in an argument when the alpha stuffed a whole ham in his mouth.

"Eat up, Taehyung. Food is best eaten when hot." Seokjin giggled and continued eating.

Taehyung just rolled his eyes and ate his food. Feeling mischievous, he decided to play with Seokjin. He purposely smudged his lip with ketchup, wiped it off, and used Seokjin's sleeve as his tissue. Seokjin gaped and looked at Taehyung like he had committed a crime.

"I will deduct fifty dollars off of your monetization on this video I am telling you."

Taehyung just wiggled on his seat like he doesn't care and laughed at the camera. "That's what bad alphas get when they're too playful."

Seokjin made a face and jokingly took away Taehyung's food. "I cooked and as a revenge say goodbye to your meal."

"No! No! Let's move on to the next question."

Seokjin squinted his eyes and put Taehyung's food back and looked at his phone.

"Okay, let's do fast talk. One fan sent me a photo of the questions, this is a little bit nfsw, so Taehyung, ready your heart." Seokjin said as he browsed his phone. "Have you been in a relationship before?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I think this won't be a problem."

"How about you, hyung?"

Seokjin just looked away at Taehyung, "I haven't."

"Won't that be awkward for YOU?" Taehyung asked.

"Nope. I'd be fine."

Seokjin is ready to read the first question when Jimin waved his hand and showed them a coupon bond that has writing on it that says, "would you want me to read the questions for you and you both answer it at the same time?"

Seokjin faced the camera and said, "We will do fast talk, and my cousin will read the questions for us. Me and Taehyung will try to answer it simultaneously as fast as we can. If you are under 18, skip for a bit."

Jimin took the phone trying his best not to show any flesh aside from his hand. He sat just enough distance for both to hear and started reading.

"Yes or no, have you been in a relationship?"

"No," Jin said.

"Yes."

Jimin nodded, "Next, the first thing you notice to a person?"

"Eyes," Taehyung answered. It reminded him of the first time he met Jungkook and the first thing he noticed is his big doe eyes and Taehyung instantly felt his world stop. He smiled at the memory of a sweaty Jungkook who choked on his drink when Taehyung sat beside him.

The Omega shook his head. He needs to focus. It's not time to reminisce. He is here to work.

"Eyes too," Seokjin said and looked at Taehyung for a brief second before focusing on Jimin again.

"This one is getting spicier." Jimin giggled, "Sex or chocolates?"

"Sex." They both answered.

"Why?" Jimin exclaimed and laughed. "For content, why sex over chocolate Especially you, hyung have you had sex before?"

Seokjin is flustered. "W-well, people say that once you've had sex, you will not choose anything other than that."

"You're really a virgin?" Taehyung asked. He cannot believe it. An Alpha? A Virgin? They have a higher sexual appetite than Omegas on a daily basis, what's up with this one?

"If jacking off during ruts is not counted, then yes." He said. Seokjin just wanted to be buried to the ground this is such a shame. He looked at the camera again and masked off his shame and said in his most serious voice, "Sorry children. This is a mukbang that get way out of hand."

"What about you Taehyung?" Jimin asked.

"Out of all people, Jimin, you know how my sex life goes. You even caught me one time doing it with –"

"Ehem." Jimin cleared his throat. "Stop. I don't want any reminder of that day!"

Jimin widened his eyes and signaled Taehyung about Seokjin.

"Stop with the sex talk. Next question!" Seokjin took a spoonful of rice and egg as he commanded Jimin to hurry up.

"Fine, fine. Next, lights on or lights off?"

"Lights on." Again, they said at the same time.

"Okay, why? Jin hyung you go first."

"Well, I don't know. not really blasting lights, dim lights just enough that I can see my partner and yet keep that intimate vibe."

"Tae."

"Lights on because I want to see his body. Like how ripped he is, his tattoo on his hip and his expression when we make love." Taehyung said in a dreamy haze. Jimin has to clap his hand to alert Taehyung and bring him back into the conversation.

"Riding or missionary?"

"Or," Seokjin said before Taehyung can even answer.

"What?" both Jimin and Taehyung asked laughing their lungs out at Seokjin.

"Jimin-ah, you laugh like you already had sex! Stop bullying me. We're both virgins!"

"I mean, yeah, but I had toys so not really," Jimin answered nonchalantly. "Just answer me! Why or?"

"Because I don't know. Maybe I'd like both. I have no experience so I can't tell!"

Taehyung tried controlling his laughter and spoke, "Okay, okay enough. I'll answer. Look at him, he is already sweating!" Again, he roared laughing at Seokjin's demise and the alpha just can't help have a small smile appear on his lips too when he saw Taehyung so happy like that. He thought that smiling so often looks good on the omega rather than displaying such a demanding and alpha-like aura when he is a sweetheart.

"Whooo." Taehyung breathed out. "Okay, I'm calmer now. My answer is Riding. I love the control and I love it when it hits deep. Also, when the knot pops," Taehyung emphasized the P with a pop, "It's easier to just lie on top and snuggle."

"You seem very experienced," Seokjin commented.

"Oh, he is. Based on what I saw that day, my god he absolutely is." Jimin shivered at the memory.

"Can you fill me in? Just not the details, you know. we can cut it if it's too explicit."

"Fine. But I will tell the story, okay?" Jimin looked at Taehyung. "I will tell him so unnecessary details will be left out."

Taehyung just nodded and agreed. He knows Jimin is trying to protect both him and Jungkook because if Taehyung slips out in front of Seokjin, he will hate himself forever.

"So, I went to his apartment to give him the copy of his schedule ...' It was a lie. It was Jungkook's schedule, Jungkook had asked Jimin for a favor to arrange it for him because his manager is sick and they can't help the idol at the moment because it was really bad they can't even go out of bed for almost a week. Jimin accepted the offer for free and he finished the task fast it only took him two days to finish Jungkook's three-month schedule. "... I knocked on the door, and my friend right here is not answering, so I tried twisting the door, and bam! It's open. So I went inside. Just as I walked in his living room he was getting fucked."

Jimin leaned in and mouthed, "On the table and plates are everywhere. They were broken."

Seokjin gasped.

"Yeah. And I lost my strength and the notebooks fell on the floor and I ran! Like I fucking ran. He is my best friend and seeing him doing that is the last thing on my list!"

"In my defense, I didn't know you were coming. You should've texted me earlier."

"I did! I was so used that you don't reply to me that I just went there."

"We are definitely cutting this clip out, oh my god!" Seokjin said. "Next question, oh my god, my poor Jimin needs to bless his eyes after that!"

"Oh shut up," Taehyung said and slapped Seokjin's arms lightly.

"Best time for sex?" Jimin asked.

"Any time," Taehyung said with all his heart. He even slammed the table with his hands. It cannot be mistaken by anyone, he is now comfortable even when Seokjin is around.

"You, hyung?"

"Night." He said and drank his water.

"I won't ask why this time. My ears are traumatized already!" Seokjin just poked his tongue out at Jimin when he heard what the smaller Omega said. "Last question, which is better? In heat slash rut, or a regular day?"

"In heat!"

"I don't know!"

"Why don't you know? It's a given. Sex is better during those days. Endless stamina, hyung!" Taehyung slapped Seokjin's arm again.

"Well, if an omega is in heat all they seek is a knot; if an alpha is in a rut, they just wanted to breed. Maybe sex will be better during those days, but I wanted to be present during lovemaking. Look at my mate, tell them I love them and make love to them properly."

"Awwe, whoever your mate is will surely be lucky to have you," Taehyung said. He genuinely feels like Seokjin is a good person and he likes it that the man is looking forward to meeting his fated mate.

"Well, that is some high compliment coming from you, Taehyung-ssi. Thank you. I am sure that whoever your chosen one will be, they would be so happy to have you. I can see that you are a wonderful Omega."

Taehyung lowered his head and smiled.

"Thank you Seokjin hyung."

By the time they finished the fast talk, the food is already finished. They both drank their beverages and smiled at the camera.

"Well, I guess that is it for now. It's bad that we will end this already I am having so much fun." Seokjin frowned at the camera. "But the good news is..."

Seokjin looked at Taehyung sending the signal that the Omega should announce their collab on Taehyung's channel.

"We will be having a collab on MY channel this time. we will see how good Seokjin's voice is. I'm excited!"

"Ah, it's really time to say goodbye. I enjoyed the food, I will ask your recipe later so I can cook at home." Taehyung said while touching his tummy.

"Aish, no. Call me and I will cook for you." Seokjin brushed the Omega off and smiled at the camera, "See you on Taehyung's channel soon! Bye-bye!"

They waved goodbye and Jimin turned off the recording.

"Okay, good job everyone! We'll film again after a week at Taehyung's place. Bestie, send Jin hyung the songs you wanted to suggest singing and we will plan the program for your channel. Alright? No last-minute changes." Jimin said addressing both of them. "Both of you go and rest I will take care of the mess."

"Thank you, Min." Seokjin said, "I placed an order for you just now. Your food will be here in minutes."

"Food? I just ate."

"Nah, they're just desserts. Think of that as my thank you gift."

Jimin smiled at Seokjin, "You spoil me too much. What am I gonna do when you have your own family."

Seokjin pats his head, "You will still be my first baby. Now shut up and wash the dishes."

"Yes sir!" Jimin gave the alpha a salute and started cleaning up. Taehyung bid goodbye and went straight home.

"Hey baby, how's your day?" Jungkook's gruff voice greeted Taehyung as he answered the phone. "I missed you."

"It's been a long day, baby. Seokjin hyung tried to flirt with me because he doesn't know that I have you." He sighed. "I wanted to tell him that we are together."

"It's not yet safe. Let us just wait, 'kay? And please as much as possible stay away from him. We can't reveal our relationship, but you can tell him that you are waiting for your special someone." Jungkook said. His possessiveness is obvious in the tone of his voice, "When I come back, I will scent you so everyone can back off."

Taehyung bit his lip. He is excited.

"I would love that. I am excited."

"Really, huh?" Jungkook raised a brow.

Taehyung widened his eyes, "Oh gosh, no! Not that! I mean ... yeah, that too but my statement doesn't mean that I –"

"It's okay my darling omega, I know what you mean, but you got me excited down here, maybe you can help?" The camera panned at Jungkook's boxer who is now puffing up because of his erection.

Taehyung felt his slick pouring out of him. "Fuck. Wait, I'll get my laptop, baby."

"Yes, good. I'll wait for you here, baby. Don't make me wait too long."

Taehyung scrambled and rushed to get his device excited for what is to come.

"Hyung, stop flirting with Tae. He clearly has someone in mind already. You will just get hurt." Jimin said and plopped down on his hyung's bed. The Alpha's scent is prominent in the room, but Jimin doesn't mind. It's just soft and calming to his senses. "I can see that you think of him as a mate and I don't want you to cry in the end."

Jimin warns his cousin. He knows the feeling all too well. Jimin made that foolish mistake of loving someone that already found their true love. It started at Jungkook's first fan sign event, the idol told him that he wanted to talk to Jimin and that he should wait for him backstage and Jimin did, but the Alpha never came. Maybe he forgot, that's what he thinks. He asked Jungkook about it next fan sign event, but Jungkook didn't even remember anything. It was the first heartbreak that Jimin ever experienced. He was so convinced that Jungkook is his mate and it was so silly of him. Now that he is a bit older, he realized that it was part of the Alpha's trick to woo his fans like how every idol would.

His second heartbreak was when Taehyung and Jungkook announced their relationship. He remembered crying all week his Omega is distressed seeing their "Alpha" be with someone else. He felt so insecure nit-picking all the negative traits he has. It took him a long time of self-love and pretenses until he could get back up on his feet again and accept that his desired alpha won't be his.

The third time was when he saw them making love. It's one thing to know that they are in a relationship, but it's another thing to see them fucking. That moment he wished he was Taehyung instead. He ran away from Taehyung's apartment and like what happened the second time, he took a week off of everything and what he worked hard to build came crumbling down to ashes. He didn't go to Taehyung's apartment for a whole month but meets Taehyung regularly for their weekly soulmates' dates.

And now seeing Seokjin be in the same shoes as he was for the past year, he will not let Seokjin go through the same shit he went through. He will do everything in his power to stop the impending heartbreak this will cause.

"I will not cry, Min. If he is not yet Taehyung's boyfriend, why would I worry? I can court him and woo him."

"Hyung! They are having sex! They make love, if it is not clear to you yet, would you want to repeat the whole footage earlier?"

Seokjin laid beside Jimin, "What can I do? My wolf is yearning for him."

"Finish this collaboration, stay away from him, and find another Omega. Maybe you are just like that because he fits your ideal type, strong-willed, fierce, beautiful, and talented. There are a lot of Omegas out there who are just like that too. You just need to open your eyes and broaden your options."

Seokjin faced Jimin laying sideways, "How about you, Jiminie? Why can't you move on from that asshole that made you wait for hours but never came and didn't even apologized to you? Have you moved on from him? I know you only like Jungkook because he is ethereal in your eyes and he is safe because you don't have any emotional attachments to him and you two will never meet so your wolf is safe from the heartache."

Jimin frowned. He feels guilty that Seokjin doesn't know this part of his life, but for his soulmate's safety he needs to shut up.

"In three years' time, hyungie I will tell you, 'kay?"

"Why does it have a deadline?"

"Just listen to me. Stop being stubborn."

"Fine, fine."

Jimin stood up and looked at Seokjin one final time, "Remember what I told you, stay away from Taehyung or I will cut your penis off."

Seokjin widen his eye, "Why so brutal, Minnie? You wound me."

"Shut up, you're so dramatic. Just do what I say so you won't hurt your virgin heart."

Seokjin grabbed his pillow and threw it towards a running Jimin.

"Fuck you!"

The Omega's laughter rang throughout the house as he walked away to go home.

Seokjin can't promise to do what Jimin told him, but he is sure as hell convinced that Taehyung is his mate.

"Fuck I am torn!"
