"Taehyung!"

The raven head flipped open the door, fingers firmly clasping around the door handle. Jungkook's heart was beating to an unsteady beat of the drum, echoing it firmly in his ears. Glad to at least still feel the liveliness of his body intact with the anticipation of meeting his mate again.

"Hello, Jeon Jungkook."

Yoongi raised the champagne bottle he was holding on his hand, smirking at the dumbfounded expression on the younger's face. With disappointment and horror plastered on the true alpha's innocent features, it made Yoongi giggle.

"Am I not expected or am I not welcome? By the way, Happy Birthday kid." Yoongi stood on his spot, waiting not so patiently for the true alpha to invite him in.

"Um, I'm not a kid, I turned 21."

"And I'm 27, so what's your point? Move aside, will you?" Yoongi didn't bother, he just wants to get into his house and given that they both are open to their own identity, the older finds no reason to behave in front of Jungkook.

Jungkook rolled his eyes. He is not the most fond of Yoongi, he just tries to tolerate him now only due to the reason he is Taehyung's brother. Jimin and Hoseok also made it clear that they enjoy their time with the porcelain looking wolf, so Jungkook just had to bite on his lip and handle his antics.

"Come in Yoongi! Good to have you here!"

Yoongi grinned mockingly at the true alpha's sickening fake enthusiasm, finding it very amusing.

"Careful Jeon, I did not say yes to you and Taehyung. He is still my brother and not your mate just yet."

Yoongi bumped his shoulder very lightly but made a statement as he brushed across the raven head, already spotting his favourite people inside the household, curled up against each other.

Jungkook's stark confidence in mocking Yoongi dropped flat like an inflated helium balloon, losing its jazz.

Asshole. The raven head rolled his eyes again, finding the cold tone and threat by the older picking on his nerves.

"Kooks?"

There it goes again. Jungkook's rumbling heart fluttered in a speed that it was almost close to breaking the highest reading of a metronome. Trying to alter the rhythm on his heartbeat between nonchalant and dysfunctional.

"T-taehyung?"

His dark orbs scanned the outline of his features so beautifully. Breathe hooked in Jungkook's lungs when he notices how mesmerizing the other's soft hazel eyes looked underneath his unique lids. Only Tae can pull off the mono and double eyelid like a heavenly specimen.

Beautiful.

Jungkook's eye trailed on his sharp little pointy nose where the true alpha was dying to attack him with Eskimo kisses, not to mention how the tiny little mole under his nose urged Jungkook to bob it.

And Tae's lips. Gosh, they are so luscious and softly stained in red that it made Jungkook wanna suck the colour and juices out of it. The place which holds the most adorable rectangle smile he has seen.

The raven head needed to take a step back, admiring the soft colours Tae has picked to adorned his well-built body in, not too big and not too small either compared to Jungkook. Taehyung looked ethereal.

To top that, who needs perfume to smell good when his mate's natural eucalyptus scent hit him like a truck once he took a sniff of the air. In a way, Jungkook got giddy with the thought that only him alone can have the privilege to smell his mate.

"Um, do you do this to all your guest? Have an eye inspection on them before allowing them to enter your house?"

Taehyung's deep chuckles brought the alpha back to his senses.

"Taehyungie? What are you doing standing at the door? Come on in."

Jin appeared out of nowhere, pushing the bedazzled alpha aside, pulling the brown head in.

"Hey Jin!" Taehyung waved his hand and stepped in, accidentally bumping into the statue alpha, who stood there bewitched by his mate.

"Ouch, you ok Kooks?"

"Um y-yea." Jungkook finally broke off from his shaken state as he stepped aside, allowing his mate to pass through.

"Jungkookie, just get a hold of yourself ok?" Jin lowly whispered as he notices how perplexed the true alpha looked with the mere sight of his human mate.

Soon, the small gathering between the wolves and human turned into a heartwarming party, as soon as Mrs Jeon filled the table with her best dishes, with the help of the other boys, mainly Jin.

"Woah, they look delicious mom." Jungkook hugs his mom, thanking her for the meal she prepared.

"Anything for you son, it's my baby's 21st birthday." Mrs Jeon kissed Jungkook's forehead softly, making the rest of them smile in content watching the mother-son duo's adorable affection.

Taehyung smiled warmly, watching how lucky Jungkook is to have all these lovely friends and also parents who adored him to the core. The brown head did not miss a single chance to observe how loving the Jeons are.

Never once did Taehyung notice Mr Jeon behave authoritatively or in any ill manner towards his son. Although he is much older, Taehyung finds it amusing to see how from time to time, he seems to show a kind of unspoken respect towards Jungkook.

This is not something that only Mr Jeon has exhibited, it's more like how the rest of Jungkook's friends and clicks behaves with him as well. Including his older brother Namjoon, who speaks so respectfully with Jungkook.

"Can't wait to have a good meal, thanks Mrs Jeon for your hard work." Taehyung took his seat on the table opposite of Jungkook.

"Not a matter at all dear. Taehyung is it?" Mrs Jeon asked as she scoped some dishes for Tae.

"Yea."

"You look just like your mom." Mrs Jeon's words fell on the table like split milk. Unable to retrace her mistake, she just chuckled nervously when she noticed most of the attention now stayed with her.

"Um, I bet you look a lot like your mom, so beautiful and also handsome. Yoongi too." Mrs Jeon moved around the table, scoped the same dish for Yoongi who was caged between Jimin and Hoseok.

"Yea, Taehyung does take after our late mother. Thank you for the compliments Mrs Jeon." Yoongi tried to save the awkwardness as much he could.

"Great, now let's start eating." Mr Jeon clapped his hands twice, returning the cheerful note on the dinner table as they all cheers for Jungkook's 21st birthday.

The event of the night went completely harmless and cosily warm just between the elite gang, the Jeon couple and their guests - the brothers. Soon, the dinner moved from the dining hall to the living room, where cakes and more champagne being served, easing the night into casual chatter.

"So, how are you liking the town so far Yoongi?" Mr Jeon wanted to make a subtle move in engaging conversation with the older brother, trying to bring him away from the crowd.

"Not bad at all Mr Jeon, I guess we are just easing in, enjoying what the town has to offer." Yoongi said while emptying his champagne glass, not even flinching by the amount of alcohol washing down his system.

"Great! Ah, that reminds me, maybe I can also connect you up with some of my other lecturer friends in town and you might engage with them for work purposes?"

"That'd be great Mr Jeon."

"Follow me to the study then, I have some books which I can pass to you as well." Mr Jeon indicated his innocent intention in wanting to have a word with the fellow alpha of Guardian pack.

"Sure. After you Mr Jeon." Yoongi understood the older Jeon's intention. Before leaving, he averted his eyes to the kitchen counter and saw Jungkook practically bewitched by his brother with Jimin in between them, talking stories and laughing like little kids.

Assured that his brother will be fine while he is gone, Yoongi refilled his champagne glass and followed the current head alpha to his study.

.

"You're so funny Jiminie." Taehyung was holding onto his glass of apple juice while he laughed.

Jimin wiggled his brows and took the compliment directly to his heart, feeling his ego boosted for being praised by his best friend. He gulped his glass of champagne down before taking a brand new bottle, ready to pop them open.

"Want some?"

"Nope." Tae denied Jimin on his offer for some champagne.

"Alright, be right back, I need to refill for the others." Jimin took his glass and the brand new champagne, finding the rest in the living room.

"Hey Taehyung? Can I show you something?" Jungkook waited until Jimin was out of sight before turning his eyes to Tae.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Follow me."

Jungkook downed his champagne, pulled Taehyung by his wrist as he escaped through the kitchen door, back to their lawn, away into the darkness of the night.
