JIMIN looked at his best friend sadly. He knew that Taehyung had been through some bad things in his life, but he needed to see how beautiful and perfect he was. The curly haired omega had curled up with his knees against his chest, his arms loosely wrapped around them as he hid his face in his knees.

“Tae.” Jimin crooned, taking hold of his hands and stroking the back of them with his thumbs. “You don’t need to hate yourself.” He hated seeing Taehyung upset. Taehyung kept his head buried in his knees, not even looking up at his friends. Jimin looked at Namjoon, silently asking for help, but the taller omega just shrugged. Jimin sighed. Namjoon was never very good at handling emotions. “Tae, look at me.”

Taehyung said something, but it was muffled. Jimin cupped his chin in his hands and lifted up his face, moving his thumbs to wipe away the tears. “I didn’t hear what you said, TaeTae. Can you repeat it for me please?”

Taehyung took a shaky breath. “I said, it’s my fault that he was abandoned and left alone, which is why I need to hate myself.”

“Tae, you can’t hate yourself.” Namjoon said, squatting down in front of the small omega. “You shouldn’t hate yourself for what you did. Yes, you were his friend, but if you didn’t feel comfortable around him, then you did the right thing.”

“But I -” Taehyung began, but Jimin pressed a finger to his mouth, shushing him.

“No buts, Taehyung. You did the right thing for you. You had a right to be selfish at that moment back then.” Namjoon pointed out. He pushed Taehyung’s dark brown curls out of his face. Although Namjoon could be a bit uncomfortable handling people’s emotion, he was actually very good at it if the time was right. Taehyung sniffled and wiped his eyes with the back of his hands. “Are you ready to go and properly meet everyone?” He asked.

“It’s okay if you’re not though, take your time. We can take this as slow as you need considering they are all alphas as well.” Jimin said, staring at his best friend to see any further signs that could concern him. The only thing that was slightly off was that Taehyung’s eye makeup had become smudged from his tears. “We also need to redo your eye makeup. And maybe splash some cold water on your face. You’re all red and puffy.” He said, causing Taehyung to let out a light giggle and a small smile.

TAEHYUNG wasn’t sure if he was one hundred percent ready to meet all four alphas at once. Considering his past with them, he wasn’t as quick at trusting people as Jimin and Namjoon were. He shook his head, not wanting to think about that incident anymore. “Can we just wait until lunch until I meet them properly. I just don’t know if I’m in the right mindset right now.” He said, his voice small and hoarse.

“Of course, we can, Tae. Of course, we can.” Jimin said, pulling his best friend into a hug.

A little while later, Taehyung and Jimin made their way to their first class. Namjoon was in the same year as Hoseok, which was a year older than them, and Jin and Yoongi were in the year above that; their final year. Jungkook, however, was in the same year as Taehyung and Jimin. Just his luck. Jimin had made sure that Taehyung was properly calm before they entered the classroom, knowing full well that the teacher would want them to introduce themselves, and that in order for that to be successful, Taehyung needed to be his sassy and bratty self.

The teacher noticed when the two new students walked in. She stood up and ushered them so they were stood in front of the class. “Okay, class. Today we have two new students joining us. Jimin and Taehyung are both omegas, so if you two want to introduce yourselves.” She smiled warmly at the two. Taehyung could tell she was a beta. “I’m Mrs Lee, by the way.” She added as an after thought.

Taehyung and Jimin both bowed and said hello to the class before introducing themselves. Jimin went first, explaining how he had already been mated and had two very protective alpha boyfriends that would not hesitate to beat up anyone that made him or Taehyung feel uncomfortable. As he spoke, Jungkook walked in.

“Mr Jeon, you are late.” Mrs Lee said, watching him as he shrugged and sat down, slumping in his seat. Taehyung could see how arrogant of an alpha he was. God, this was going to be hard. It was going to be hard enough if he was the old Jungkook, but since he was now arrogant, and probably had a lot of alpha pride, it was going to be at least a hundred times more hard.

“Mr Kim, you can continue.” Mrs Lee said. Jimin nudged Taehyung, making him clear his throat.

“I’m Taehyung and an omega, which you already know. We both transferred from some omega academy downtown because we got kicked out for causing trouble, but that’s besides the point. Erm, what else? Oh yeah, Jimin’s protective boyfriends are nothing compared to me, so stay away.” He said. “I think that’s all I want you to know about me, so thanks or whatever.” He turned to the teacher. “Can we sit now?” He folded his arms and raised an eyebrow.

Mrs Lee looked shocked. She had never come across such a sassy omega before. It surprised her. “Um, yes, go sit down. There’s a set of two near the front or an empty seat beside Mr Jang and one beside Mr Jeon.”

Taehyung knew that he and Jimin were going for the set of two near the front. The Jang kid looked like a pervert, and sitting next to Jungkook just wasn’t an option. They sat down and the teacher began the lesson.

JUNGKOOK was staring at the back of Taehyung’s head, almost glaring at him, as if he were hoping to burn holes through the back of his head. Who let him have an attitude like that? He deserved to be punished for that. He could feel his wolf urging him to drag Taehyung out of class and spank him until he learned to be an obedient and submissive omega. But he knew that that would be inappropriate to do at school.

He watched as Taehyung whispered something to Jimin, making him growl under his breath. He couldn’t understand why his wolf was getting so worked up over Taehyung. It confused him and annoyed him.

After what seemed like forever, the bell rang signalling that it was lunch time. Jungkook grabbed his bag and briskly walked out of the classroom, not sparing a second glance at Taehyung.

Jungkook grabbed his lunch and sat down at his usual table, waiting for Hoseok, Jin and Yoongi to appear. He was hoping that the omegas would sit somewhere else, but that was highly unlikely, considering two thirds of them were mated. He began to pick at his noodles as Hoseok and Namjoon approached, telling him that Jin and Yoongi were waiting to get their food.

Jungkook liked Namjoon. He was a down to earth omega, who seemed to be obedient to Jin. He made Jin happy which was enough for Jungkook.

Jin and Yoongi sat down with their food, Jin next to Namjoon and Yoongi next to Hoseok, leaving a seat in between them for Jimin to sit in. There was an empty chair opposite where Taehyung would sit, next to Namjoon. Jin pecked Namjoon on the lips and nuzzled into his neck, licking at his mating mark.

“Jin hyung, really?” Jungkook groaned, resting his head in his arms. “While we’re eating?”

“Sorry Jungkook. I just missed him a lot and now that we go to school together, I can’t keep my hands off him.” Jin said with a laugh.

“Really, I couldn’t tell.” Jungkook scoffed, rolling his eyes.

“Yah! Be respectful to your hyungs.” Jin slapped the back of Jungkook’s head. “Now behave, we don’t want to scare the new omega before we’ve even got to know him.”

Jungkook was confused. What did Jin mean? Surely Taehyung wasn’t here already. He wasn’t prepared enough to endure an entire lunch with him yet. He looked over to the canteen area and saw the two omegas stood, talking and laughing with each other. Taehyung looked back over his shoulder to look at the table, making eye contact with him. Jungkook felt his wolf do something it had never done before. It felt like his stomach was flipping and twisting and knotting all at once, and his heart rate was increasing. He had never felt anything like this before. It was like everything else faded away.

He didn’t snap out of it until Taehyung slammed his tray down and huffed, slumping in his chair. “Goddamn stupid alphas.” He muttered, picking up his chopsticks and picking up some noodles. Jungkook growled under his breath, causing Taehyung to sigh and roll his eyes. “Not you guys of course, well, most of you.” He whispered the last bit under his breath, but Jungkook still heard him. What was going on with him? How could he think it was okay to act like this? Jungkook knew exactly who Taehyung was referring to. He wasn’t sure how long he could keep his anger under control. This omega was really hurting his pride.

☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:⠀ *⋆.*:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆

TAEHYUNG looked at Jungkook, knowing that what he was saying was angering the alpha. He wanted Jungkook to yell at him, swear at him, anything, just acknowledge his presence. He wanted to piss off the alpha so they could argue and then forgive each other. So he provoked him. He watched as Jungkook clenched his fists, his tendons straining visibly under his skin.

“What are you insinuating?” Jungkook lost his temper with Taehyung, going full alpha. Taehyung knew he had hurt his pride – he knew that would be the easiest way to go considering how Jungkook had acted in class.

“I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.” Taehyung shrugged, having another mouthful of noodles.

“Yes, you do. You know it. Everyone at this table knows it!” Jungkook yelled. “You’re being very disrespectful! You need to know where your place is in this hierarchy.” He stood up and pulled Taehyung up, bending him over the table. “So everyone is going to see you take this.”

“Get off me, you idiot. You’re not my mate. You don’t get to do this to me. So get off!” Taehyung struggled against Jungkook’s hold, but the alpha was too strong. He kicked his legs to get free, but a hand held his thighs down, making him freeze, the feeling being all too familiar.
