Taehyung sat down on the bed in his room, his eyes almost closing due to their heaviness. Turns out a big house takes long to clean, and its tiring. He did not care though, and he would not go to sleep either. He wanted to stay up to look at the stars, and it was merely sunset.

The doorknob twisted and in came Jungkook, who set a plate of food on the bed side table before joining the hybrid on the bed.

"Myung made you some food." Jungkook informed, which he got a small nod in return, it was enough for him. "She said you haven't eaten in a while, sorry about that." Jungkook gave him an apologetic way. Taehyung looked up, his eyes shining with admiration as he stared back at the boy.

"Its okay master." Taehyung mumbled. "Do you need anything else?"

Jungkook chuckled at this and stood, taking Taehyung's hand and dragging him up as well.

"You are my friend, not my butler. I'm calling my friend Hoseok over, I'd get ready for the arrival. And, stop pushing yourself so hard, okay?" Jungkook smiled at the hybrid before giving him a thumbs up and leaving the room.

"I call for a rematch!" Hoseok yelled when he lost once again against Jungkook to the racing game. Taehyung was watching the two play, sitting beside Jungkook and trying to comprehend what was going on.

"Let me go against the doggy! I'll for sure win." Hoseok said proudly before chuckling.

"Taehyung do you want to play?" Jungkook asked, holding out the controller, waving it around. Taehyung did want to play, but he was scared he would lose, and then he would look like an idiot in front of his master. He did not want to be in shame toward his owner.

"Do I have to, master?" Taehyung asked with hopeful eyes, his voice being low because he did not want Hoseok to hear him call Jungkook his master, but not like he would stop calling him that just because Hoseok was here.

"Come on, its fun." Jungkook said softly, grabbing Taehyung's hand and handing him the controller. The touch made Taehyung's skin heat up and send sparks up his arm. He did not know as to why this happened, but he did know he wanted more of it.

"O-okay.."

"I win again!" Hoseok cheered as Taehyung's character kept running into walls, or going the wrong way. He placed the controller down and looked at Jungkook, who watched the game end by default since Taehyung took too long.

"I-i'm sorry master." Taehyung looked Jungkook's way, in anticipation for a few harsh words thrown his way, but all he got was a smile.

"Its okay Taehyung, its just a video game." Jungkook giggled before watching as Hoseok tried to calm down. He got a little too happy that he had won the game, throwing his hands up in excitement.

Hoseok stood up and pulled Jungkook into a victory hug. This sent a bad feeling in Taehyung's mind. He knew he shouldn't feel like this, but when a hybrid gets jealous, he gets protective over his owner. When Jungkook sat back down, Taehyung instantly wrapped his tail behind his waist, holding him closer than usual.

"What are you doing, Taehyung?"

"You're my master, not his."
