13. Agony

It was a typical Friday night after a heavy slot of training on the pack ground. Today, Jungkook was required to tutor and teach combat for the younger wolves who are coming of age.

He prefer teaching the adults since it's much faster for adult wolves to learn and perhaps engage in a challenge from time to time, but Jungkook knew that these younger wolves will be his future pack fighters. He needed to personally train his armies.

After all the painful hours on the field, Jungkook was glad he got to soak himself in the warm water in his tub, scenting himself with a good old peachy shower foam.

In the absence of nothing rolling into Jungkook's mind, the true alpha relaxed his muscles to the core, gently swaying back and forth to a tranquil state. Jungkook is certainly enjoying his alone time, it's a luxury he would die to afford.

As the blank canvas of his mind took him to a relaxed state, Jungkook's heart started to feel calm and somewhat twitching for another sense of emotion he has never often craved for.

He felt a sense of longing.

The raven head's eyes flung open as he grasped the side of his marble tub, turning his knuckles white.

"Taehyung?"

He can't match the emotion in his heart to the name that rolled out of his mouth oh so naturally, making the boy confused.

Jungkook clenched his heart and sense a swelling pain, each beat connecting the cells in his brain, flashing images of the brown head.

He closed his eyes shut, squeezing them hard, trying to banish the images of the handsome male invading his mind to no avail. The more Jungkook tried to shut his mind, the more his heart ached and he growled in pain.

This feeling is foreign to Jungkook.

Never once in his 20 years of life have the true alpha experienced such extreme heartache, that confuses his self with the overwhelming thought about a boy who is just a mere human he knew not too long ago.

Something is not adding up and Jungkook can't comprehend.

Unable to tolerate the agonizing pain in his heart and disturbing mind, Jungkook quickly stumbled out of the tub, cleaning himself off the remaining shower foams. With only a towel draping his lower body, the true alpha slicked his raven hair back, walked into his closet to get dressed.

Without putting much thought, he rummaged his closet and picked a shirt and hood his hand reached out for with a pair of boxers and sweats.

His feet were like on a set of mind on its own when they hustled down the stairs, hands reaching for the keys to his car, ready to head out.

"Jungkook?"

The raven head halted in the darkened living room, not realizing the presence of anyone else in the middle of the night as his mind was clearly occupied with one thing, and one thing only.

"Huh?"

The younger could recognize the voice anywhere, it was his elder brother after all.

"Are you heading somewhere?" Namjoon switched on a single light in the room, giving them some light to outline each other's figure better.

"Um-...yea?"

"It's almost midnight Jungkook, aren't you also feeling tired from the training?" Namjoon asked in concern, as Jungkook bid everyone farewell right after dinner earlier, excusing himself for he felt exhausted.

"I am."

"Then where are you heading out to?" Joon knew the look so well on Jungkook's face. It's a face his little brother would pull when he is caught on the act.

There was this one-time Jungkook was so curious on what porn was when he was merely 13 years old and secretly scrolled through Namjoon's laptop, not knowing he will be caught red-handed by his brother. It was the same look of guilt and worry that is plastered across the raven head's face.

"Just for some fresh air?" Jungkook decided to speak half the truth. He was indeed suffocating with the thought and feeling inside his heart, he needed to release it.

"Ok, just don't come back too late alright?" Namjoon just decided to drop his interrogation. It's not like his little brother will be in danger, he is a true alpha after all.

"Ok Hyung." Jungkook gingerly said bye and fled the scene.

Namjoon waited a few more minutes before running up the stairs, shaking Jin awake from his beauty sleep.

"Joonie I love you but I swear to Goddess, you better have an explanation for waking me up right now!" The beta was grumbling, eyes half-opened.

"Jungkook went out!"

Jin scratched his head wildly and huffed a long sigh before turning his gaze back on his mate.

"KIM NAMJOON, YOU DIDN'T JUST WAKE ME UP TO TELL ME YOUR BROTHER WENT OUT! HE IS NOT A 2-YEAR-OLD."

"Babe, he didn't look like he was out for a normal walk. He was so distraught." Namjoon's panic was evident on his face although his voice was still kept low.

"He looked distraught?" Jin stopped to think for a minute.

Namjoon nodded, thankful that his love was no longer yelling at him. The alpha knows that no one gets away from disturbing the beta's sleep, well maybe except Namjoon himself.

"I thought of following him...you know, just in case if anything is up."

Jin looked at his mate, he instantly can feel the stress and worry in his own body, connected to the exact feeling that his mate was experiencing.

"Ok let's go, but let's mask ourselves up." Jin got out of his bed, not bothered to change his silk red pyjamas as he grabbed Namjoon's hoodie and pulled it over his head.

Before exiting the door, the couple scented themselves with a wolf scent blocker, hiding their wolf scents, just in case Jungkook could get a whiff of them.

Jungkook's POV

I drove without my own accord.

My heart and mind were throbbing. It's like they were having their internal war without thinking or feeling how it affects me physically. My inner wolf was whimpering in pain, he never did this before. My wolf has never felt the need to submit to such emotions before.

I wasn't aware of where did my driving brought me to. I don't recognize this area of the town. It looked like it was a human neighbourhood, looking at how it looked so normal with single houses built beautifully next to each other.

Werewolves houses are a little different, we build our houses in a territory and slightly away from each other. Sizes of the houses are determined by the pack's ranking as well as the size of the family.

Certainly a wolf community is different than the normal human beings. In our territory, we have a lot of empty spaces and lands in between, almost hiding each house in a little forest on its own. This is useful in case if we were to turn into wolves or train for combat.

Hence, I knew this place is definitely for humans.

The question is, why did I drove mindlessly to a place I don't even know?

I looked around again, trying to find some signboard to recognize this foreign place. I sense no danger nor do I feel a presence of another wolf nearby, it looked pretty harmless and it instantly calmed my sense for the time being.

After turning off the engine, I got down from the car, noticed that I was parked in-between two moderately build houses, with no other humans lurking.

Orchid Street.

Finally a signboard! I read out the street name and scrunched my brows thinking of the familiarity in the name.

"Orchid Street?" The name flashed a memory.

"So Yoongi, where are you staying?" Namjoon asked the older as a mean to get to know their new 'friends' better.

"Um us? I got a place not too far from this side of the town."

"I see, why didn't you stay somewhere nearby?" Namjoon wondered.

"I kind of got the place courtesy of my old friend, besides its a good neighbourhood and it's less pricey. Houses around here are almost like a villa with hefty price tags even for rental." Yoongi explained.

The rest of the boys nodded while Jungkook listened, his eyes somehow catching the overflowing amount of strawberries on Tae's plate. That boy certainly inhales the fruit like it's his oxygen.

"So where is this place?" Jimin bumped in, clearly invested in whatever Yoongi was saying.

"Orchid Street."

The flashback died in Jungkook's mind with a heavy lump of his throat.

Did he just mindlessly drove to Tae's house without knowing the exact address after having his mind and soul invaded by the brown head?

His entire body turned cold when he saw a familiar brown head was coming out from his front door, with a bag of garbage to dispose of.

The raven head's cheek flushed back in heat when he heard the deep oceanic voice calling him out.

"J-Jungkook?"
