Its been over a week after that whole steamy scene in the bedroom and its sad to say, that not much has changed.

There was an obvious sexual tension between the two mates, but they both didn't take any initiative to do anything about it.

Jungkook was feeling flustered. He didn't know how to approach Taehyung about such things. Don't get him wrong, he isn't talking about sex. He is talking about getting to know Taehyung better, more like dating perhaps. Though for werewolves, they usually skip that step and just mate at the first meeting. But this is Taekook we are talking about. Their situation has always been different.

The thing is, Jungkook has never been in a relationship before. He didn't date or hook up with anyone before and so, he is a little clueless on the whole 'dating' thing. Not the mating part, obviously, being surrounded by horny mated pairs, he was prone to know about sex and how it works.

Then there's that doubt at the back of his mind. Does his mate even want all this with him?

Jungkook has expected Taehyung to atleast take the second step, seeing as he took the first step but a whole week has passed and the trueblood has done, well, nothing.

Jungkook is frustrated, he wants to bond with the trueblood, get to know him, his likes and dislikes, his dreams and obviously, he wants to mate with the trueblood, but thats for the future.

Right now, he is sitting with Jimin under the tree, just few feets away from the training ground.

Jimin has noticed how Jungkook seemed trouble, the constant sighing was a big giveaway.

'Okay, out with it. What's bothering the big bad alpha?', Jimin probed, trying to get Jungkook to spill his worries.

Jungkook sighed. He wasn't sure if he wanted to talk about it, but considering that Jimin had a mate already, maybe it was best to get some advice.

'Well,' he bit his lips nervously, 'Taehyung and I haven't really gotten closer at all. I am not sure how to approach this topic with him. '

Jimin raised one eyebrow, staring at Jungkook, his face amused, 'you mean you haven't gotten to the part where you get his dick?'

Jungkook choked on air, 'wha-? No. I'm not talking about that. I- I meant like getting closer in the sense where I bond with him. Get your mind out of the gutter Chim'

Jimin laughed loudly, holding his stomach, ' so you don't want his dick?'

Jungkook groaned. This was a bad idea. Jimin will never leave a chance to tease him now.

'Ofcourse I want that as well Chim. Its just... I don't know if he wants me like I want him'

Jimin quickly stopped laughing. The sadness in Jungkook's voice was very hard to miss.

'Why do you doubt if he wants you?', Jimin asked softly.

Jungkook exhaled loudly, eyes looking up at the sky. He was conflicted. The trueblood was like a puzzle, some parts of which he couldn't find to complete the perfect picture.

'I don't know. He hasn't tried to get close to me. Its like he is scared to touch me. But if I hold his hand or hug him, he doesn't complain. I, its just that he is confusing. His actions are confusing'

Jimin chuckled lowly. He has known Jungkook since childhood and he wasn't surprised to see his bestfriend being an idiot.

'You are an idiot. I swear to God.'

Jungkook looked at Jimin in surprise, 'Ahh, how the fuck am I an idiot?'

'Kookie. Your mate was in his wolf form for 10 years. He was just 14 when he gave up control to V. Why do you think he will know how dating works? Or how being intimate works? Your mate doesn't know about these things idiot. All this is new to him'

Jungkook's eyes widen in realization. 'Oh. That- that actually makes sense. But he kissed me Jimin. He even- uh- he even kissed my neck and nibbled on my ears. How will he do that if he doesn't know anything about being intimate?'

Jimin facepalmed. 'Kookie. Remember how we were watching that movie the day after you were discharged? The romantic one where the guy was making out with the girl?'

'Yeah'

'The scene you just described with your mate, doesn't it sound familiar?'

'Oh', Jungkook blushed. Ofcourse. That's how the trueblood knew how to do that. Jungkook was really an idiot.

'He learned that from the movie Kook. That should tell you enough about how inexperienced your mate is. He may be a dominant wolf and sure, his wolf must be aware of how to mate, but only in wolf form. The human side doesn't know all this stuff. I'm pretty sure your mate is a virgin considering he shifted only when he met you.'

Jungkook nodded, his chest overwhelming with warmth. His mate was so precious, so innocent, it was so endearing. For the world, his mate was powerful and feral, a ruthless trueblood, but when it comes to Jungkook, his mate was the sweetest and the most innocent person Jungkook has ever met.

'Its your job to teach your mate these things. It will be hard to get Taehyung to open up emotionally. But only you can do it. He trusts you the most Kook. You are the only family he has now. After all he went through in his past, you are like his safe haven. So you need to take the first, second and third initiative here. ', Jimin smiled fondly at his bestfriend who was nodding shyly.

'You need to teach him how to love Kook. You need to teach him how to love himself so that he can learn to love you'

Jungkook was glad he had this talk with Jimin. He really needed it. Now he was aware of how much Taehyung needs him, and he was going to do his absolute best to help Taehyung. He was going to teach Taehyung how to love.

He was going to wait for Taehyung to learn to love himself...

And maybe, just maybe, love Jungkook back.

________________________

Taehyung didn't know how to act. It was all so puzzling for him. Staying in his wolf form for half of his life, he felt like he lacked the social skills. And well, the intimate skills as well.

And then there was his mate. Everytime Taehyung sees Jungkook, all he can think about are those pink lips. Those enticing two petals that Taehyung just wants to feel again. But he doesn't know how to ask Jungkook.

Will it make Jungkook feel weirded out if he asks to kiss him? Will it make Taehyung seem like a pervert?

Taehyung knew he was inexperienced when it comes to these things. He never had someone like Jungkook before. Someone who makes him feel all giddy and hot. Someone who makes his lower region uncomfortable which can only be taken care of by a cold shower.

Mating was another issue. Taehyung had no clue how it works. I mean, if you think about all the times that the hyungs have teased each other about sex, all Taehyung had wondered was , 'what the fuck do they mean?'

The hyungs have talked about a blowjob and Taehyung had nearly choked to death. The fuck did they mean putting one's dick in their mouth? Won't it hurt? There were teeth inside the mouth for God's sake.

And then the actual mating. How the hell will that work? Jin had teased Jimin about how loud the screams were, like Yoongi was murdering Jimin. Was mating really that painful?

Taehyung felt so dumb that he didn't know about all this stuff. There wasn't anyone he could talk to. Jungkook was definitely not an option, considering Taehyung was embarrassed as hell to ask about all this. He didn't want Jungkook to regret having such an inexperienced mate.

The hyungs were out of the question as well. Taehyung wasn't that close to them and he was ashamed of asking about such personal stuff.

The movies they watched helped a little bit. He knew how to touch Jungkook, kiss him but that was about it. By touch, he means caressing the cheeks and kissing the neck. Apart from that, Taehyung was clueless like a new born baby.

He sighed, holding his head with his hands. He really needed to get his shit together. By the way that things were going, Jungkook might as well just reject his sorry ass.

'Tae?', Taehyung looked up to see Jungkook standing by the door, looking at him in concern.

'Are you okay?'

'Yeah. I'm okay. Just a little headache,', Taehyung replied, his eyes following Jungkook who was walking towards him.

'Here, let me massage your head a bit. It will help'

Taehyung felt Jungkook's soft hands massage his scalp. Jungkook was kneeling down in front of Taehyung, watching how the trueblood had stiffened with their close proximity.

His hands moved from Taehyung's head to his nape, massaging the spot gently. The action had Taehyung moan softly, the stiffness disappearing.

The sound of Taehyung's moan made Jungkook bite his lips harshly. It was so hard to control his hormones, with the way Taehyung was looking right now, with his eyes closed and his lips parted in pleasure.

His fingers left tge trueblood's nape and slowly made their way to Taehyung's jawline, stopping at his chin, lifting it up.

'Look at me Tae', he whispers ever so softly.

Taehyung opens his eyes to see Jungkook's face so close to him, his lips hovering over his.

'Can I kiss you?', Jungkook asks, enjoying how Taehyung gulps nervously.

Taehyung nodded. He felt Jungkook's lips softly touch his, one hand palming his cheeks, the other hand holding his hair gently. It was soft, slow and filled with love.

Their lips parted and Jungkook smiled.

'Tae. Can I be honest?', Jungkook asked, his eyes twinkling in excitement as he saw how dazed the trueblood looked.

Taehyung nodded.

'Will you let me teach you how to love?'

Taehyung stared at those charcoal orbs, feeling the intensity of those emotions. He realized then just how stupid he was to be scared of asking Jungkook for help. This was his mate, the only one who will ever matter, the only one who he will ever love, the only one he can be vulnerable with.

'Yes please ', he replies back, the answer bringing a bright smile on Jungkook's face.

'Okay. First lesson of the day. You can touch me and kiss me whenever you want. I'm your mate. Your touch is more than welcomed. Don't hesitate with me okay?'

Taehyung nodded, pecking Jungkook's lips experimentally.

Jungkook giggled at that. His mate was honestly so adorable.

'I'll teach you the rest later okay? First, I have something to ask. Will you go on a date with me?'

Taehyung tilted his head adorably. 'What's a date?'

Jungkook softly smiled. ' it's like going out to dinner or to have fun. It helps to get to know each other better'

'Okay. I'll love to go on a date with you', Taehyung replied.

Jungkook looked at his mate fondly, his eyes twinkling with love. He'll do everything for his mate to enjoy all the years he had missed out on.

Starting today, loving his mate was his first priority.
