It's been a day since Jae-hyun's heat started and Yoongi can't stop but help him during this entire time till now.

When Jae-hyun would come to his senses, Yoongi would make him eat his meals to keep him nourished. The cycle just went on.

"Are you ok now?"

Yoongi asked as he pulled a clean blanket over the latter to cover the teen's aching body. Jae-hyun just nodded. He was too used to being alone that Yoongi's help just made him speechless.

"Thank you"

He said it out with his voice going hoarse and raw. Yoongi just looked at him, bringing the food towards him and hummed.

But a question roused in his mind soon after Jae-hyun grabbed his chopsticks to eat.

"In the Humian.. Who helped you with your heats?"

Jae-hyun was silent for a while and then spoke up.

"No one."

He slurped the noodles and to which Yoongi got a bit off. He knows how it feels to suffer the heat alone without a mate. But he did had salutaries to help.

"You don't have a trusted friend?"

He asked and not to be rude, he added again.

"-like whom you can open up?"

To his mere surprise, Jae-hyun shook his head carelessly. He wasn't a bit bothered about the fact that someone is asking him personal questions. He just trusted the older Omega enough.

"How did you-"

Yoongi's question ended with Jae-hyun chuckling as he put his bowl of noodles away and looked at the older Omega.

"I was brought up in an orphanage. There, I was quite the weird child, so i never got along with anybody"

He stated and Yoongi helped him drink water from the bottle.

After he was done, Jae-hyun spoke up again.

"I was maybe 13 when i started working in a club.... Then 14 when I ran away from the orphanage, 15 when I rented a not-so-decent apartment and 16 still running into werewolves"

Yoongi was a bit off the topic. He was mostly feeling pity, nothing more than that.

"You did child labour?"

"Kinda yeah but you gotta work if you want to run away from that junkyard"

Yoongi narrowed his eyes.

"Junkyard?"

Jae-hyun let out a huff. He was annoyed with the fact that he actually stayed there for so many years and all the kids could do was bully him.

"The orphanage."

Yoongi hummed understanding a bit and not a lot but still understanding to a point where he knew the young omega didn't liked the place to cents.

"To be there was like a nightmare"

He shuddered with pain now in his wrist. Surprisingly because of the bandage Jae-hyun wrapped on his wrist , Yoongi never witnessed his crescent.

But instead what caught Yoongi's eyes was his skin. The skin that had a shimmer as if its reflecting light.

"You're quite pale"

Yoongi claimed as Jae-hyun covered himself with a blanket.

"Y-Yeah."

Quite taken aback from that.

"It looks like it'll turn red if I touch it"

Yoongi wasn't the first one to say that. And that he made it clear to Yoongi.

"Young-ll said the same actually"

With that, Yoongi stopped his actions of moving the bowls aside and sat straight towards the younger one.

"Stay away from Young-ll"

Can't say that Jae-hyun wasn't hurt. His expressions dropped as he looked at Yoongi with hurt but still spoke up in question.

"Why?"

"Because you're an Omega. You can't be mates"

To that Jae-hyun let out a snort and scoff right after.

"I don't give a shit on mating. She's my friend and will be my friend-"

He paused and muttered under his breathe.

"After all she's the only friend I have"

Well Yoongi heard it and didn't question it further as he realised something was definitely wrong with the teen.

"Rest well. I'll be here anyways"

Jimin always wondered what if he and Jungkook fought. But never really happened since Jungkook never really makes a fuss but right now, he can't call Jungkook.

Nor was Jungkook calling him, nor is he making any move for Jimin to approach him either.

Yesterday Jimin slept alone as Jungkook was quite busy but now that he woke up, he saw Jungkook lying down right next to him yet the proximity wasn't closed.

He sighed as he sat upright, leaning on the head board.

"I felt like my Hyunnie was back in my arms"

He sighed as he brought his knees by his chest and snuggled into himself. He was feeling bad for Jungkook but for his pup, it was bigger struggle.

"Ning is someone i want to trust. I really do"

Jimin muttered under his breathe but as he said that drops of tears threatened to fall from his eyes.

The struggle Jimin goes through all day was a hidden battle. He just felt so guilty for Jungkook yet he just wanted to embrace the now-discovered Omega teen. Not sure why he had this feeling but he surely wanted to trust the younger.

After a while, Jimin was crying. To a point where he was breaking down mentally.

"How come I ended up crying for him!?"

He sobbed silently as he snuggled further.

"Because he reminds you of Hyunnie...."

Jimin flinched when a pair of arms caught him in a soothing hug as he cried with his head down and his mate engulfed him completely, patting his head.

"I'm sorry-"

Jimin sobbed as he tried pulling away but Jungkook just tsked and pulled him closer again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings"

Jungkook mumbled as he soothed the older. He knew something was fucked up. But never knew Jimin felt shit.

"I'm sorry"

He chanted on repeat as he just felt the guilt. Jimin's been through a lot. And this time, it just worsened. Too bad, They don't know who Ning was.
