I am still skeptical about the last chapter. Do any of you guys really like to read smut?

Also, I decided to change the position of the branding. It is now below Taehyung's belly button.

 I'm sorry, to the story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung slowly opened his eyes to be face to face with Jungkook. He let's out a small gasp before realizing who he was looking at.

"Good morning, my queen." Jungkook said with the biggest smile.

"Do you really have to stare at me first thing you wake up?" Taehyung wasn't annoyed just a little freaked out.

"I like watching you sleep. Did you know you sleep with your eyes open?"

Taehyung scoffs. "No I don't." He quickly turns his body away from Jungkook.

"Yes you do. I find it cute. Like you can't help but stare." Jungkook backed hug his mate, nuzzling his nose into the back of Taehyung's neck.

Taehyung wanted to tell him that during his time of homelessness he gained a habit of keeping his eyes open to watch out for danger. He can't ruin their happy moment with something that won't happen anymore.

"Maybe. Now let go of me, I need to freshen up."

Jungkook whined but he did let Taehyung go. He quickly put on his robe and walked inside the bathroom. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Taehyung exit the room to see Jungkook about to enter the bathroom as well.

"I'll be downstairs in a bit, IU finished up breakfast."

Taehyung nod and quickly put on some day time clothes.

Taehyung's POV

As soon as I entered the dining room Jessi started to smirk at me. "Nice night?" She asked.

I know I should be blushing in embarrassment but honestly, her little quips, I'm used to already.

"Yes it was." I took a sip of my orange juice as I take my seat, you know, after Tzuyu pulled it out. My shirt hang from my shoulder so I know they can see the hickies.

"There you go my queen. Would you like anything else?" Tzuyu asked me.

"That's ok. I'm fine with whatever IU made." I said as she started to bring out the breakfast foods.

Jungkook made his way downstairs and into the dining room and gave me a quick kiss on the forehead. I smiled as he walked to his side of the table and started to eat.

"Hyung! Guess what we have to do today?" Jungkook said as he gobbled his food down.

"Um....I don't know? What do we..."

"Check to see if Taehyung is pregnant?" Jessi said.

"No. We are going to the beach!" Jungkook jumped up in excitement.

"Beach? Why?" I asked as I took a bite from my toast.

"Because it's fun. The whole pride is coming."

"Are you sure it's for fun and not to get me away from my cousin." I smirked at him. He just smiled and I swore I saw sweat falling from his forehead.

"No? It's just for fun. Hahaha."

I rolled my eyes. "I can take care of myself, thank you very much."

"Oh yeah. Those bruises totally proves your point." He said pointing at my bruised eye.

"It's not like you don't have any and last I checked you were over powered by 12 woman."

"HEY! You know a male lion is only strong when his pride is there to fight with him!"

"Yeah, or for him."

"Children, children. We have company." Sana spoke up as she drank from her coffee cup.

I turn to see Namjoon and Seokjin walk inside the dining room. Namjoon was extra smiley today.

"Good morning beautiful ladies and kind gentlemen." Namjoon said as he hugs Tzuyu and pats Jungkook on the head. Jungkook growled but only to get him away.

I smile grew on my face. "Oh, Joonie." I sang. Jungkook quickly turns his head to me and starts shaking his head. Good, he know.

"Yes, kind sir?" Namjoon asked as Seokjin serves him breakfast.

"The Pride is going to the beach today. Would you and your, MATE, like to join us?" I leaned in to mock my mate. Jungkook just kept shaking his head. I smirked.

"Hmm. I don't know. I'll have to ask Jinnie, first."

"Oh, I'm sure he'll say yes since my mate will love for you two to join. You know, to get to know you better." I stare down Jungkook with my still up smirk. "Right, Kookie?"

The ladies all turn to stare at him. Jessi is slowly shaking her head. Jungkook swallows his water. 

"Sure, why not."

I know he's pissed but he made me mad first. If I'm going on a forced trip, I'm taking a friend with me. Even though we aren't, but that's what the trip is for!

"Ok, but I still have to ask Seokjin."

3rd POV

"Ask me what?"

Seokjin walked back into the dining room after serving himself some Korean breakfast dishes.

"Tae wants us to go with his Pride to the beach today." Namjoon continued eating.

"Hm." Seokjin turns to look at Jungkook who was signaling him to say no. "Sure why not."

Jungkook slammed his head on the table.

"Alright! Let's go to the beach!" Taehyung jumps on his chair and placed his left foot on the table to give himself some height. The girls also cheered and ran upstairs to get packing, besides Jessi. "Way to go King. You went from giving orders to taking them."

Jungkook growls at her but relaxed when she rubs his head.

After everyone left the table, the two mates sat in their seats.

"Nice play." Jungkook said after many minutes.

Taehyung gets up off his seat and made his way towards his mate. Taking slow steps before bending over to lean on the table and whispering in Jungkook's ear.

"Play with my strength again and I will keep having the NamJin couple cock block you, ok?"

Jungkook nods his head aggressively. 

"Good. I'll see you upstairs." He gives Jungkook a kiss on the cheek. "Shnookums."

Jungkook had a blush on his face as he watched his mate slowly walk to the exit, but when he saw his hand rubbing against the wall and slowly disappear from the turn, he couldn't help but love his mate even more.

"Another nice play." Jungkook hops off his chair and makes his way to his bedroom. Please tell me I haven't made a mistake.
