The drive was literal hell for Taehyung. He wasn't sure why, but alot of thoughts clouded on his mind. Trying to shake it off seemed to be a bad option, as it only pushed more of his gut feeling to turn out worse.

"Jimin ah, do you have any idea whom Jungkook was meeting the past days?" His curious eyes lands onto the beta at the front seat, who was in the middle of a nonsense conversation with his own mate.

Jimin abruptly stops his conversation, excusing himself from his mate who was talking. "Meet ups? I don't know, Jungkook had been secretive the moment he found out about my condition the past days." The beta explains, but this had only gave another suspicion for Taehyung-- was it something about their relationship?

He nervously bit his lip, looking out to the window as he couldn't bear staring back to Jimin. "I'm worried." It felt like a lump on his throat, his heart getting heavier as his gut feeling gave him unexplainable emotions.

"Breathe," Yoongi suddenly says. "Breathe and calm dowm Taehyung. Don't be too tensed. We should trust Jungkook okay? He isn't the jerk we knew before." He tries to assure, with Jimin staring at Taehyung with worry evident on his tired eyes.

"Yoongi's right. Tae, we should trust your mate. I'm sure he wouldn't want to stress you out." Jimin smiles. "Jungkook had been a good guy as to what I have seen, especially when you have been together for awhile now."

Taehyung didn't even bother to say anything. He was sure that whatever he would say, it would sound like him turning down their words of encouragement. He felt sick being stressed, and it would be unhealthy to continue. So he embraces the positive side of the situation, caressing his baby bump as the baby moves again.

"Taekoo ah," Taehyung mumbles, smiling a little when he felt the subtle movement. "I'm sorry that mommy felt stressed." He began to baby talk, calming himself down even just for a little bit.

"Trust in Jungkook, Tae." He thought to himself, hand on his bump as he stares into space. Was his gut even worth following? He never wanted to misunderstand.

But Jungkook was making him.

••••

Upon the car slowing down followed by the engine shutting off- he knew they finally arrived at the coffee shop. It had been only thirty minutes from the ride, but it felt like hours.

"We're here." Yoongi made sure to announce, leaning a little to thw wheel as he peeked at the coffee shop's interior. "I don't see him anywhere."

Taehyung still wasn't in the bridge of giving up. "But this is the only place he would go to." He tries to reason out, but Jimin only reached for his hand. "I told you Taetae, didn't I?" Jimin sighs.

"Trust on Jungkook." He says to himself, though he was doubting of what's to come. Sure he loved his boyfriend, but it felt a little off.

"Please don't." He thought to himself again.

"Alright. Since we are already here, and no signs of Jungkook.." Yoongi fished out his wallet and phone, followed by him pulling the car keys out of the key hole. "Let's get something to drink and eat, my treat." He says, with Jimin smiling geniunely at the offer before turning to Taehyung.

"So? You coming?" He asks, though it was obvious that the male wouldn't have any choice then. "How can I say no to a free treat?" Taehyung jokes, with the two mates laughing for a little while and getting out of the car.

The sweet coffee scent of the shop welcomes them as they enter through the glass door, a cold breeze of the aircondition hits their exposed skins as the omega shivers. He craves for coffee- but he knew he couldn't have any for his condition.

He stops himself from caressing his baby bump, knowing that they are in public already. His hoodie was way oversized for him- but it helped on hiding his bump, and besides, he was looking cute with the new style he had been trying.

"Why don't you sit back and wait?" Jimin smiles, patting Taehyung's shoulder who flinched a little- completely lost in his train of messy thoughts. "Ah, yes, of course." He says quickly, giving his best friend a small smile before turning to find an empty seat.

His eyes wanders left and right, biting his lip cutely as he moves forward. Finally spotting a seat for them to occupy- he wastes no time and approached the table.

Only to stop his tracks when a familiar scent of strong coffee invaded his nostrils.

"Jungkookie.." The wolf mumbles, feeling the sense of comfort lingering inside of him. He inhales the scent again- it wasn't like the coffee shop's sweet touch, but it had made him want to submit and follow whoever owned such smell.

Taehyung follows the scent, the desperation winning him over as he only wanted to finish and prove his inner guts wrong- he wanted to see his mate casually talking with someone, enough to assure him that he wasn't exactly doing what he have thought.

Then there, he sees his one and only mate. He was talking about something serious as to how he talked with a blank face. Taehyung felt a rush on relief, also realizing that it wasn't Soyeon again nor his fiancé wannabe JiEun.

Yet it was another girl. The omega didn't know who she was- Jungkook never even spoke about meeting a girl. Was this his reason why he wanted Taehyung to stay home?

Even if he felt a stab on his heart, he moves forward, enough to hear their conversation but would need to avert their gazes up to see him.

"Jung--" Taehyung called, but stopped midway when the girl suddenly spoke.

"Are you serious, Jungkook? So you're just gonna hide this from him first? You're being ridiculous. What is wrong with it?!"

"I know," Jungkook replies with a look of worry. He grabbed the girl's hand, warning her to keep talking in a low voice.

"Oh trust me. He'll be shocked to even know who I am to you, what my role is in your life." The girl finished with a chuckle.

Taehyung froze. He felt betrayed, pain began to stab onto his heart as his ears and cheeks heat up. Did he even hear everything right?

"Jiwoo. Will you please calm down, I sense that my mate--" Jungkook lost his focus, and as soon as he inhales again- the scent became even more familiar. His eyes widens upon confirming the wolf who owned the scent, surprised from his sudden approach.

"Tae.." Jungkook mumbles, furrowing his eyebrows as he doubted on how to react. Taehyung shakes, having the alpha's attention gave him a choice of submission.

But this time, he didn't.

"I-I don't wanna see you anymore!" Yelled the omega, covering his crying face as he ran out of the café completely.
