Author's POV

Jungkook gulped as he looked at his phone. How could he be so careless? It wasn't entirely his fault though. Before leaving, he had asked taehyung to grab his phone as it was plugged onto the charger on taehyung's side of the room and they were already running a bit late.

But at the same time, taehyung didn't know what was going on. He didn't know SiWoo. He wouldn't have been able to imagine the outcome of something as simple as forgetting to bring someone's phone.

"Jungkook, everything alright?" Taehyung asked, plopping down on his bed. "Y-yeah Hyung..." Jungkook said. But nothing was right. SiWoo would be here tomorrow and take him back "home". There would be nothing jungkook will be able to do.

"Hey, Hyung." Jungkook said. "Yes kookie?" Taehyung responded. "If... If there was a guy who claimed to be my alpha and wanted to take me away, would you let him?" Jungkook asked.

Taehyung frowned. Where was this question coming from? Although he didn't hesitate before answering with a no. "Of course not kookie. You're not mated. And you're a person of your own." Taehyung reasoned.

Jungkook bit his lip. "So does that mean he will protect me tomorrow?" He asked himself under his breath. "Protect you from who, jungkook?" Taehyung asked, apparently catching the younger's words.

"You've been acting on the edge ever since we got here, jungkook. What's going on?" Taehyung asked, worried. He was ready to help with whatever jungkook had going on. But Jungkook wasn't ready to open up... Yet. Even though he knew SiWoo would come tomorrow and take everything away from him, there was still a small bit of hope that he was just kidding.

"Hyung, remember the guy who always calls me? The one from back home?" Jungkook asked. "Yeah, did he do something to you?!" Taehyung asked. "No Hyung! Well, yeah kind off. But that's not the point right now." Jungkook mumbled.

"Kook, you can talk to me about anything." Taehyung reassured him. "I know tae tae Hyung." Jungkook said giving him a weak smile. "That person is SiWoo Hyung. He... I am engaged to him and-"

"Jungkook, you're underage!"

"My guardians agreed. They didn't want to take care of me anymore..." Jungkook mumbled. Taehyung frowned and waited for Jungkook to say something else. "H-he doesn't want me t-to continue college... He thought I am c-cheating on him... J-just because I didn't respond to h-his t-texts." Jungkook stuttered. He didn't tell the whole deal to Taehyung. That would've been too much for his own mind to handle.

Taehyung felt guilty, sad, angry, and perhaps every other negative emotion in existence.

"Jungkook..." He said, sitting down on jungkook's side. "I- I am really sorry I forgot to bring your phone with us earlier today but... I'm just sorry, ok? I'll try to convince SiWoo Hyung for you. I'm- I'm really sorry, I just didn't knew it would end up like this-"

"It's ok Hyung." Jungkook said with a bittersweet smile. He was happy that taehyung didn't question anything further. But also kind of sad that he had to leave everything back. His newly made friends, the chance to meet jin, and an altogether humane lifestyle.

"J-just in case this is the last time we are together... Do you want to c-cuddle on your bed?" Jungkook asked, his voice was small, as if trying to prepare himself for denial. "Of course kookie. And don't worry, this won't be your last time in this college." Taehyung said, in an attempt to cheer the younger up.

But the younger still seemed on the edge. The both of them climbed on to Taehyung's bed, wordless-ly. Both were equally tired from the little meet up they had earlier with their friends and thoughts about SiWoo only added to that.

Taehyung back hugged him, feeling the younger tense besides him. "Shh, don't worry, dont think about it." Taehyung whispered. Even his voice was dripping with care. It only swelled Jungkook's heart more. He would have to leave behind all this.

"I... I can't hyungie." Jungkook said, sighing. "Try to, ok? Whatever happens tomorrow is in the future. Right now, both of us are together and I bet I will be able to convince him tomorrow. You trust me, right?" Taehyung asked. Jungkook nodded his head, without a second thought. If he blindly trusted anyone in this world, then they had to Taehyung (although only after SeokJin.)

"Great, then listen to me, and relax." Taehyung said. His deep soothing voice almost lulled jungkook to sleep.

Did he really like taehyung? Yes. Could he already sense that they were mates? Yes. But did he want taehyung to know that? No.

As you (yes you the readers) saw earlier, SiWoo was enraged by the sole fact that Jungkook didn't text him back. Jungkook feared that he would be killed by SiWoo if he dared to say that any other alpha or beta is his mate. Because SiWoo was just that psychotic. He was ready to do anything to claim the perfect omega.

He was scared. But there was still a little bit of hope left that taehyung, and probably the other hyungs too, would protect him. But, you can't always cling onto hope. Just like jungkook hoped that Taehyung's Jin Hyung and his Jin Hyung were the same people. But then again, he wasn't sure.
