"Thanks for the dinner Kooks, I think I should head back now."

Taehyung and Jungkook were chilling at the living room after their scrumptious steak dinner courtesy of the raven head.

"So soon?" Jungkook's head perked up at Tae who was seated in a little distance away. Something he didn't like.

"Jungkook, it's 11 pm now. I need about an hour to reach home. Yoongles is gonna kill me if he knows I am bridging my midnight curfew."

"What are you? A 12-year-old? You don't need a damn curfew Taehyung."

"I am not a kid, I know. But Yoongi Hyung is still protective over me and he gets worried ok."

"Well, I doubt he has the time to think about you when he has Jimin and Hoseok with him." Jungkook was rambling so fast that Taehyung failed to catch the bits after the word 'doubt'.

"I'm sorry?" Taehyung asked as he leaned in closer to hear Jungkook again.

"Nothing." The raven head cleared his throat and continued. "Call Yoongi, I will ask him permission for you to stay here for the night if you're too scared to ask him yourself."

"Are you serious? He is not going to allow it." Taehyung was so sure his brother is gonna flip at Jungkook and he low-key did not want to turn the little attachment between Jungkook and Yoongi into something bitter.

"Dial him bun."

"No."

"Will you please listen to me this once? Dial him."

"Kooks, I don't want him to scold you or anything-...."

"Taehyung, call him. Unless you don't wanna stay here with me tonight."

"No! That's not the case but-...ok fine!" Taehyung felt defeated when Jungkook started to give him his sad look with the unusually big doe eyes melting his heart with the request. "But don't be mad at me when Yoongles yell at you for requesting me to stay over at the very last minute."

Jungkook just casually smirked and wore a smug look on his face as he crossed his arms and legs waiting for Taehyung to dial his brother.

I know he will allow you to stay with me Tae, it's about your safety after all.

The raven head sighed as he watched his mate dialling his brother with a nervous look on his face as Taehyung continued to nibble on his lower lips while bitting on his finger nails.

When Tae's face light up suddenly, Jungkook corrected his posture and leaned forward to sneak his wolf hearing into the phone call. Not that he needed to try hard as he can hear it clearly without much effort due to his true alpha ability.

"Taebear?"

"Yoongles...hey, how are you?"

"Fine? What's up?"

Taehyung looked at Jungkook who looked like he wasn't paying attention as he was fiddling on his fingers while looking everywhere else but at Tae.

Why did he even ask me to call and ask for permission when he looks like he isn't even serious about speaking with Yoongles? Taehyung pouted with this thought as he responded to his brother.

"Nothing. Have you had your dinner?"

"Yep, I'm having some desserts now."

"Desserts? Hyung!! Not without me!" Taehyung is a sucker for dessert and he can't believe his brother is eating up their stored away ice cream in the fridge without him.

"Um, I don't think so I should share it with you..."

Fuck, I heard someone panting. I-is that oh! I know what is he eating. Jungkook's ears perked up when he paid close attention to the other side of the line as he was eavesdropping while looking disinterested in front of Taehyung. He didn't want to come across too eager in asking the brown head to stay although he is bloody excited about what is happening on the other side of the line - a triple sundae ice cream with extra cream apparently as dessert.

"What you mean by you can't share?" Taehyung narrowed his eyes although there is no way Yoongi can see him frowning across the phone call they are having.

"Well...just tell me why you called? Do you need anything?"

Taehyung was taken back. Why is his brother not freaking out and asking him where is he? It's getting close to midnight and usually Yoongi is not the one to encourage Taehyung to stay out late until it's midnight.

"Hyung, aren't you a little curious why am I calling you after 11 and not back home yet?"

"Well aren't you with Jungkook at his house?"

"Yea..." Taehyung looked over at Jungkook who was now staring at him.

"Cool. I assume you want to spend a little more time with him like a sleepover?"

"How the hell did you-..."

"Ok cool, go ahead. Just give me a call when you're returning home tomorrow Taebear. Sleep well. See you. Bye."

"Hello? Hey Yoongles? Hello?" Taehyung was shocked. He was beyond speechless with the act that Yoongi just pulled on him.

Did Yoongi just hang up on me?

He stared at his phone a little while longer before throwing it aside. "I guess you won't have to convince him. He said ok."

"See, there is nothing for you to be worried about. Yoongi is cool."

"Though I don't know why didn't he question me further or attack you for suggesting things like this to me. He normally isn't the one to allow me to spend the night away from home."

Jungkook nodded as he understood that Yoongi must have been keeping a very close eye on Taehyung all these years due to the potential danger the brown head might be under if other wolves or dark entities found out about his true identity.

"So? Wanna wash up and head to bed? I can show you the spare room."

Taehyung nodded. He is knackered. He low-key felt thankful for Jungkook's kind offer for him to spend the night with him. He didn't wanna separate with Jungkook too soon after spending much quality time and secondly, he is just tired to drive a distance down to his house.

"I also don't know why Hyung want to exercise at such ungodly hour. I can hear him panting and it was so noisy in the background."

Taehyung collected his phone and followed Jungkook who was walking ahead of him. The raven head held back his laughter when he notices the panting they heard over the line was not due to Yoongi in a potential workout routine but more like working both Jimin and Hoseok out routine.

Jungkook knew it was Jimin panting on the background and not Yoongi to be precise. Well, whatever, not that Taehyung needs to know about it now.

Soon, they reached the same hallway which Taehyung recall walking to for Jungkook's room as they came to a halting stop in front of a white door opposite of Jungkook's navy blue room door.

"You can take the guest room opposite mine. You can have all the extra toiletries in the bathroom and some spare clothes we usually have in the closet as well. All clean and unused."

Taehyung nodded and thought about how thoughtful the Jeons are towards their guests to the extent they even have clean and variety of new clothes for their guests.

"I'll see you tomorrow then?" Jungkook said with a hint of shyness in his voice.

"I guess." Taehyung replied.

"Ok then. Goodnight." Jungkook took the fingers he was fiddling with apart and did a tiny wave at Taehyung as he walked backwards to push his room door open wider with his muscular back.

"Goodnight Kooks." Taehyung said as his eyes sparkled with the cute little state the other boy was in.

Jungkook liked the sweet little moment he is having with Taehyung. He is not the one to rush and the true alpha prefers if Taehyung falls in love with him for who he is despite their unbreakable mate bond.

He turned around with a little bubble of excitement in his soul and giddiness in his mind when his waist was snatched and pulled against another hard surface.

"You don't go to bed without kissing me goodnight Kooks. That's a bad habit."

Jungkook lewdly moaned when he felt a wet lick underneath his left ear as the brown head male nibbled on his earlobe with a gentle bite. He was fucking turned on and it's not a good time to be getting hard when he was about to sleep.

Taehyung needs no command or permission as he swiftly turned Jungkook by his tiny waist until the raven head was facing him with his eyes closed under the spell of his touch earlier.

"Goodnight pup."

Taehyung smiled into the kiss he left on Jungkook's lips. Nothing sensual and nothing erotic, it was a simple innocent kiss on Jungkook's lips as a sign of saying goodnight.

"Sleep well bun." Another kiss on his right cheek and Jungkook was shivering like a leaf, weak on his knees.

A bloody kiss. No, two bloody kisses and he is a mess.

He was too engrossed in his euphoric state as he heard the door closing shut. That's when Jungkook opened his eyes to feel the loss of warmth of Taehyung's grasp on his waist and the night turned steamy as he rides on his own high calming down his excited erection from the mere touch by his mate.

He is seriously doomed by Taehyung.

.

The next morning came a lot of faster in Jungkook's good anticipation. He wanted the sun to rise so he had the excuse to barge into Taehyung's room and wake up the sleeping head. Indeed they have acknowledged their feelings of liking for one another, but it still didn't mean that they don't have certain unspoken boundaries between them.

Hence, Jungkook is now standing idly for the last five minutes in front of his room facing the white door where his human mate is asleep.

"Should I just knock?"

"Can I go in?

"What if he hates it?"

As he was thinking hard and through about the choices he has in hand, Jungkook felt his phone vibrating receiving an incoming call from his mother. He stared at it for a second before swiping it to the right to answer.

"Mom?"

"J-jungkook? Son! D-dad is hurt...h-he passed out and son I don't know what is happening to him."
