lol I'll start from the last bullet point you wrote hahahaha yes, at some point at the reading I thought "Li must have deal with bodies at some point" hahahahaha but let me say I found the action scene so good! Not boring at all, I know how hard is to right those parts, I've experienced it with body fight, now gun fight feels even more complicated. For the lack of vocabulary (English is not my first language) I had some difficult to understand 100% but I'll glad take a dictionary to read it again hahaha anyway, the fact that the fight happened in more than a room, evolving each 1x1 of each of them with the killer, I really enjoy it. And the way you describe how each of them fight in their very way to protect the family šŸ„¹ it was well written, I loved it!!!
Tae's monolog before shooting is also so pretty and I glad jimin taught her the basic!!! Lovely jimin always so eager to protect his loved ones šŸ’œ I'm also upset Tae had to deal with violence since its pretty clearly to all of us that she's not made for it šŸ˜”
man, the house..... they really messed up the house šŸ„²šŸ„² and once again Mc covered in blood! This time hers as well šŸ„²šŸ„²šŸ„² what the neighbors gonna do omg they be like...call the police? Lol dear God, what a mess!!! In everyplace a mess!!
And moonbyul is still there, just chilling drinking her stupid coffee with her stupid nails.... *small voice* bitch.
Imagine the call yoongi will receive at the hospital. "Hi Yoon so here's the news" šŸ¤”
BTW I just said it about Tae but also I feel deeply that namjoon is shattering because all of this, he's just so good boy šŸ„ŗ pack alpha and stuff and big and also big heart šŸ„ŗ
Some times I think hobi's deal better with this because of his traumas, like, he gotten to a bottom that joon's haven't, so just like Mc he knows how to act when things feels too much (after probably gonna need extra cuddles but in the moment is in high alert)
I Love this chapter!!!
Loved also reading the beginning at hobi's first week at the packs house. It's the hurt comfort that I love the most!!! If you feel like writing it after bilys end (omg not ready), I'd love it!!!
Thanks for another great chapter, Li šŸ©·
Sorry I haven't been here like before. This page still brings me lot of confort. I'm forever thankful šŸ„°

Previous partĀ -Ā MasterlistĀ -Ā First part
Tumblr media
(Four years prior, Hoseok)
Today is the day that Hoseok will meet his future pack, he just doesnā€™t know it yet.
It always feels like a bit of betrayal but the worst and best days of your life often come close together. Maybe just for contrast. A bit of good in the bad. A slice of cake in a feast of raw meat.
This starts as just another bad day in a long stretch of shitty days. The kind of days were anxiety bubbles up and how afraid you are is all you can think about. Taking one breath and then another like just staying alive means you're guaranteed to get better.
The only place to go from rock bottom is up, and hoseok's sneakers are firmly on the concrete, standing outside of the record store in the rain with no place to go.
Hoseok has been afraid for a long time. He can't really remember even if he thinks hard, the last morning he woke up not afraid.
What hoseok really needs is a day off, but he really can't fucking afford it. He can't afford anything- certainly not a one-bedroom apartment on his own. If he's really really lucky maybe he'll be able to find a closet room somewhere that will cost almost his whole paycheck. Because after today-
After today, Jung Hoseok will be homeless, packless, and alone. His pack dropped the news on him last nightā€¦or well ex-pack.
He doesnā€™t expect that heā€™ll be moving into the pack's house on this rainy day, he doesn't expect that by the end of the week, he won't be worrying about where his next meal will come from because Jin will be there with it ready. Jimin sometimes too.
He won't be worrying about where he'll sleep because the bed in their spare room that smells like tae tae tae will be his. He'll roll around in it when the door is closed, shy about it because Hoseok has never liked other alpha's scents so much before. And when he comes home and Jungkook has made a nest in it, it will feel like a bit of an impossible silver lining, a bit too much- to have an omega making him a nest, making something special just for him
It takes three weeks for Namjoon to make him a house key for himself. After he gets left outside in a very similar storm to this. The doctor will touch his cheek, thumbing at the dimples that they share. how special is it that each smile gets cradled like a crescent moon? the heavens have left imprints on both of their skin. Freckles for stars and dimples for moon's.
"I don't want you to get sick pup."
"People don't get sick from wet heads anymore hyung."
"They don't. But I want to keep you dry and comfortable in my den. i know you still want to look for apartments but...what if you didn't?"
But neither the weather nor Hoseok knows to prepare for good news. Right now the heavens open up and release its deluge, thick rain the way that only happens at the start of summer. Worms and other wriggly things crawl their way out of their holes to find a good spot to die next to Hoseok's shoes. Worn fancy sneakers that his pack-omega had gotten him a few months ago for their anniversary. They're the nicest thing he's ever owned.
His ex-pack omega.
It's hard to rewire your brain, especially for alpha's. Hoseok is a lone wolf. He hasn't been without a pack in so long, it feels weird to not have someone to call, someone he needs to trail after and cling to. He checks his phone but he doesn't have a single notification from them.
He doesn't have a single notification from anyone.
Hoseok is glad he doesn't feel his instincts as keenly as other alphas do. Otherwise, he might be inclined to gnash his teeth at the people who pass by him on their way to work, umbrellas almost bumping him, perceiving even closeness as a threat. So vulnerable without a pack (lone alphas are always the first to starve in winter).
Hoseok shivers even though its summer, he's soaked to the bone after a few minutes.
He has a key to the record store. He could go inside. Granted- he should be inside already. Opening up shop, making coffee, and letting the place warm up. But standing out in the rain feels too much like penance.
Hoseok likes the rain. The smell of it. The way it makes the whole world ache and go still. He feels every drop on his dark hair, soaking through his thin hoodie. It's cleansing almost, letting the rain soak him through.
(The end of relationships is always hard, let alone the end of abusive relationships, theyā€™re downright terrible).
Hoseok keeps replaying their words in his head, with every slosh of a nearby car, every honk of a taxi. The stoplight red and green bleeding onto the wet concrete. Yellow flashing in contrast with hoseok's dark memories.
ā€œYouā€™re welcome to stay here until the lease runs out, but the four of us need to move back home. You understand Hobi donā€™t you? Weā€™re just omegaā€™s- weā€™re just girls- and we think this could be a clean break for all of us. We just don't want to lead you on any longer.ā€
The worst part is that Hobi had sort of known, had sort of already realized what was happening. heā€™d seen it in their looks; distant and despondent. Their touches that did not linger longer than necessary, cheeks turned as he comes in for a kiss. The phone calls hushed in the other room that cut off abruptly when he entered.
The lease on their apartment ends today. The place has already been professionally deep cleaned and Hoseok's things are packed in his car in plastic bins. He has 6 of them to his name.
He doesnā€™t have a place to go yet, he might just sneak into the back room at the record store and sleep there until he figures something out. Hoseok drove to work early because he didn't have another place to go.
This version of Hoseok is not the one you know, this version of Hobi is 23 and hopeless, canā€™t think about moving back in with his parents a city away, with nothing but a rusted-out Corolla that barely gets him to work let alone through the 200-mile trip. It will die on him in about 6 months and Namjoon will be thankful that Hoseok no longer is driving around in a deathtrap.
He hadnā€™t even gotten this job by himself, his pack omega- his ex-girlfriend had gotten him this job almost 4 months ago after his last one didnā€™t pan out. Temporary work for temporary people.
Nothing feels like his. Not his body and certainly not this job.
Hoseok hasnā€™t smoked in months, but something that feels an awful lot like self-disgust worms under his skin and he canā€™t resist. Not today of all days. Smoking is something that he doesnā€™t indulge in often, and hasnā€™t indulged in sinceā€¦ becoming an alpha to someone. But he guesses it doesnā€™t matter now without anyone to complain that they donā€™t like the smell.
The cigarette mixes with the smell of petrichor and Hoseokā€™s own acidic scent. The smell of a terrified alpha draws him more than a few looks but he pays them no mind. He's thankful for his soaking face, at least the rain keeps out the tears. Cool and soothing against his face.
Hoseok just wants- Hoseok just wants to call them. To talk to someone.
Ending relationships is always like this. You want to keep being good, keep being what they want, but thatā€™s impossible. You canā€™t act or behave right and dupe someone into loving you. Sometimes the love just isnā€™t there. (A smaller shyer voice says it was never love at all, you can't possess love, only be given it and Hoseok feels like a cast aside possession. Love and abuse cannot coexist).
Hoseok should have known. He keeps replaying the moments in his head. Heā€™d seen them exchanging knowing looks when they thought he wasnā€™t looking.He thought he was just being paranoid, until yesterday morning when theyā€™d taken him aside.
ā€œYou knew this had to end one day Hoseok" "You knew one day we'd move on." "As much as we appreciate what youā€™ve done for us, we think itā€™s time for us to move on.ā€
ā€œWhat do you mean? I thought we were leaving next week, you really left me with only a day to find a place to go?ā€
ā€œWeā€™re sorry Hoseok, your last rut was just too much to deal with. We think it's best if we just stay on our own. It's a clean break this way.ā€
"Wait, please- I love you."
"We know. We're sorry."
Hoseok is too much for anyone to deal with. He doesnā€™t call his friends (he hasnā€™t met up with any of them or returned their texts in months thanks to several pointed words from his pack omega). He doesnā€™t go inside yet because he deserves the rain. He sits out front of the record store, smoking a cigarette that will probably end up killing him down the line, and thinks Good.
He tells himself the irritation in his eyes is just because of the cigarette smoke blowing in his face, even though he knows it's not. He's not even inhaling right because his breaths come all hitched and pathetic. Anyone would be sad if their relationship of several years had ended. Anyone would be devastated.
Hoseok checks his phone again. Nothing.
Most people on the crowded street ignore him. Though the thick throng of people going about their business, probably going to work at their 9 to 5 jobs that pay enough to afford apartments and packmates. Hoseok is the one soul that stands stationary.
Until one, someone a few feet back stops, tipping their face through their hood to look at him. The only other person without an umbrella.
Hoseok knows his face and his name. Itā€™s just Min Yoongi- his coworker and sort of friend who's coming in for his shift. Hoseok doesn't love Yoongi yet but they're sort of friends already. They might be better friends if Hoseok could get over his admiration and jealousy.
Yoongi has this way of quietly taking care of the people around him. He picks up Hoseok's jacket when it slides off the hook at work, asks him if he wants coffee and even pays for it when he goes to the coffee shop next door. He compliments Hoseok's music tastes when it's his turn to play something, he gives Hoseok the aux frequently in a way that feels a little bit like flirting.
The only two good things about Hoseok's job are the music and Min Yoongi.
He even laughs at Hoseok's shitty jokes when they're stacking new inventory saying cryptic things like "they can't be worse than my omega's jokes."
That's why Hoseok's jealous. Yoongi gets packmates, five of them who make him lunch even when he's only got a four-hour shift. that often linger outside to walk him home or pick him up in their shiney not new not old cars.
(Yoongi's packmates certainly have better things to do than send Yoongi to work with a second packed lunch. "Jin-hyung caught a glimpse of you through the doorway, the only thing that he hates more than Namjoon's snoring is skinny Alpha's.")
Min Yoongi has that look that people do when they're well-loved by packmates. Hair ruffled and neck dotted with bruises that might as well be mating bites for a beta. Beta's don't mate, but these ones certainly keep him close. He wears their scents like a shield. Sometimes so thick that Hoseok can't even smell any of his chocolate scent.
Right now, staring at Yoongi a few paces into the street, all Hoseok can smell is the rain.
When Hoseok had been introduced to him it had felt strange just by virtue of Yoongi's sub gender. A beta? Working somewhere so normal? Werenā€™t beta's supposed to be like- financial advisors or assistants to the president or something? Betas are supposed to have more important jobs than pushing vinyl and bumping Hoseok's shoulder playfully.
(Hoseok hasnā€™t seen it yet, the way that the owner hands over little white baggies to people who come in looking hungry for a high that cigarettes or alcohol canā€™t fix. Hoseok hasnā€™t yet realized that the record store isn't just a record store. This is just one front business of many that the family has organized across this city and the country for distribution of some of his most precious inventory). Yoongi has worked her for the last year, takes calls in the back for the family. The owner only bows to him when Hoseok's not around.
They only hired hoseok for tax purposes. Having three employees looks less suspicious than just two.
The beta looks concerned, and Hoseok knows he canā€™t hide the fact that heā€™s been crying as the beta steps up and pushes Hoseok back under the awning. Out of the rain and into the warmth of the doorway. This kind of movement would make any alpha snap, but not Hoseok. Hoseok just tucks his chin down and starts to cry.
ā€œOh Hoseok.ā€ Hobi sniffles, and wipes his runny nose on his sleeve. Yoongi's hand curls against his throat, chocolate scent spiking to soothe. ā€œYouā€™re soaking wet."
Yoongi grabs his wrist and Hoseok almost keens at the gentle touch. Whole body shaking, shoulders curling in Yoongi's direction. Yoongiā€™s lips press into a thin line and then tugs him inside.
~-~
(Now, You)
You hold your breath. Still peering around the corner, watching and waiting for the man to spot you.
But he doesn't, after a breath where his soft footsteps echo, you wait, but nothing happens. You peak back around the corner.
You absorb and catalog the details as fast as you can; the black ski mask, covered by one of those traditional Korean masks, wooden with red lacquer. This one is a little different than the one that Jimin had; not twisted with thick eyebrows in a snarl. This one is white with red splotches on the cheeks, like a ghost sent down from above to rob you of your humanity.
The bulletproof vest stops at the collarbones. The gun itself is a black generic model. The long end is extra bulbous with something that might be an attached silencer. His hands covered in black nitrile gloves, leathery at first glance. There is a knife at his waist along with a barrage of other small things; rope and a knife, duct tape and handcuffs. His heavy boots look steel toed and reinforced.
The man (because it is a man you realize; tall, maybe taller than Namjoon) trains his gun at the landing on the top of the stairs. Pointing it in the direction of Hobi, Tae, and Jinā€™s hushed voices.
Hobi giggles and it sounds so bright. Echoing off the walls and filling the house with his musical laughter.
There is a phone cord tangled in your hands, long and white. You grip it tight.
This man might be silent but youā€™re quieter as you slide your bare feet across the smooth floors. Your strides are so quiet. You take one step and then another until you're behind the man, mirroring him.
You remember when Yoongi redid the floors, it was one of the few things that he did right away; before the pack came to live here (to love here). It took him weeks and weeks of sanding before he got them to his liking. Days more of brown dark stain that colored his hands ruddy until the soft matte finish stuck. Every pass with the belt sander and dirty rag a movement of love, a meditation for it.
Yoongi made every inch of this house with the same loving intent; to make it a home for all of you. a place to be safe and nurse your wounds and hearts. You wonā€™t let it become a grave. You wonā€™t let this person stay here and ruin it.
Most people get it wrong; In order to kill it is not a matter of elegance or effort. There is no such thing as a perfect kill either. Emotionless and analytic isn't enough and being justified only gets you halfway. There is no way to do it cleanly. People die just as they live, messy and hopeful and dirty.
Murder isn't a matter or wanting or wishing, Itā€™s a matter of rage.
Itā€™s always been this way. Rage has been chewing a hole through you from the moment that you pulled the trigger with Geumjae. From the moment you said ā€˜I doā€™. Rage that these violent things have been done to you, that they continue to happen, that you canā€™t just get away from all the hurt and trauma.
Rage has eaten you clean through to the bone. Rage has made you skinny and starving, rage has made you timid and fragile. But now you're the hungry one. Right now, only three words run through your head;
How dare she.
How dare she send this man into your house. How dare she point a gun at the upstairs, in the general direction of your nest and your packmates. The altar at which you so desperately cling to, for sweet dreams and sweeter worship (There is no deity above the god of love, not even death. Death cannot take the love from your chest, someone dying does not make you stop loving them).
How dare she even think about hurting the people you love.
There is no courage, no bravery, no thought in your head about how stupid it might be as you step closer behind the man. You are not a trained assassin. Youā€™re just an omega.
The adrenaline rush is an old friend, a thrall both intoxicating and unnerving. Your heart beats loud in your ears. You grip the phone cord in your hands and take a quiet steadying breath. He doesn't see you, he doesn't hear you, he doesn't know that you're behind him.
Wolves always go for the throat, whether theyā€™re cornered or hunting.
The assassinā€™s foot ascends the bottom step. You donā€™t let him get to the second before youā€™re moving, hurtling forward. Footsteps no longer light. Your hands go over the manā€™s shoulders. The cord no more than a white flash across his vision before you draw it tight across his neck.
The pain and panic are instant as youā€™re suddenly tethered to a six-foot-four assassin and struggling to stay on your feet as he stumbles back. Youā€™re pulled off your feet and down the stairs, but you keep it as tight as you can and you donā€™t let go. Fighting to keep your makeshift garrote tight as he scrambles to get his fingers around where it digs into his skin. Spluttering loud.
The hard wire digs, cutting easily through plastic and then your skin as he tries to pull you off. You donā€™t let go until he backs you into the entryway wall and slams you against it with a dizzying clang of bone and body hitting something solid. Your head narrowly avoids one of the hooks that the pack hangs their coats on. An inch to the left and he'd have impaled your skull on it. An inch to the left and you'd be dead.
A single inch.
His head slams into your face, and you feel something in your nose pop, flooding your mouth with blood so thick you choke.
He slams you against the wall once, twice, and then a third time until your grip goes slack and slippery with blood. It knocks the breath out of you, and he finally throws you off. You both fall to the ground like stones. Both of you gasp and struggle for breath. At least one of your ribs it broken, but because of the adrenaline you can't even feel it.
When the man lifts his black gloves to his throat, they come away glossy with blood.
(Itā€™s crazy how you never notice the change from the day to day, one day you are begging for a reason to hold on, a reason to live, and the next youā€™re fighting tooth and nail to keep going. Just about gnawing your own arm off to get out. To survive and live to see another day. Another sunrise.)
By that time the air has returned to your lungs itā€™s enough for you to scream. ā€œJin! Jin! Thereā€™s someone in the house thereā€™s-ā€
You try and inhale through your nose and blood makes you choke. You push at the floor with your hands, struggling to stand, fingers slippery and tacky with your blood.
The man tries to scramble up the stairs but you latch onto his legs and make him drop. Doing everything in your power to keep him from going up to them, to your packmates. Hugging his ankle to your chest to slow him down (the same way youā€™ve hugged Namjoonā€™s arm and Yoongiā€™s, the way you held Hobi in the nest on the couch just a few shattered days ago).
The man turns the gun on you, pointing it to your head, you flinch, waiting for the shot-
and open them as He heaves a frustrated roar before he wheels away and turns, aiming at the top of the stairs instead of right in your face.
You could have died right then. could have and should have, but you didnā€™t. Your brain is too messy with adrenaline right now to make sense of it.
Why didn't he shoot?
The gun goes off, a bullet whizzing by Jinā€™s head. His face, scared, on the stairs flashes ever briefly. Ducking for cover just in time. The doorframe explodes in a cacophony of dark wood splitters. The doorknob sparks and bursts into a million pieces with another shot. metal clanking against the ceiling, the walls, down the stairs.
One second, youā€™re holding onto his heavy leather boot, and the next itā€™s colliding with your face and youā€™re out like a light.
Getting hit in your face is always such a disorientating experience. Youā€™d never gotten used to it, even with Geumjae. Granted itā€™s hard to get used to the stomach-churning low vision feeling of weightlessness, like vertigo only worse.
"Hobi! don't- jesus fucking christ-"
Youā€™re not quite sure what happens next only that you canā€™t see for a moment after the boot hits your face, and you take big breaths through your mouth. Blood, you taste blood. And then your vision comes back. Black spots and all and thereā€™s Hobiā€™s face in front of you. No assassin, just him, helping you up from the floor. You're not on the steps anymore but at the bottom of them.
ā€œThe kitchen, the kitchen," Blood rushes over your bottom lip. Hoseok wipes it away, inhaling a jagged breath. "Heā€™s-ā€
He pushes at your shoulders. ā€œThe car- get to the car.ā€ It feels impossible. This can be happening in your house. Are you about to have a shoot-out in the street? On your quiet cul-de-sac? But then, in the corner of your vision dark movement.
You tug Hobiā€™s head down the second that the gun goes off- probably saving his life, definitely saving it as the bullet tears through the banister and ends in a hollow thump in the wall. he may not have shot you but he has no quams shooting at Jin and Hobi. The bullets hit the wall- Maybe 6 inches above your bent heads. Too close, close enough that Hobi trembles in your hold. And he rips something- a piece of the doorway, out of his arm with a wince before he covers your body with his own.
The volley of gunshots are so loud, so vicious as they blow things apart, tearing holes through Yoongiā€™s coat, the doorway, the banister, and the narrow stairway rungs. Pieces of wood hit your curled forms. Hobi shoves your head down when you try to look.
There is wetness, hot, something hot on your hands, your neck, you know itā€™s blood before you look. You think itā€™s from you until the Gunsmoke clears and you realize- fingers skimming across hoseok's forehead, a gash above his eyebrow.
A bullet graze by his hairline thats bleeding profusely. head wounds always bleed a ridiculous amount.
There are more bullets behind you but itā€™s just Jin returning fire.
Jinā€™s got Tae behind him. Her face ashy and pink from the shower and panic, her mid-length dark hair such a tangle, cowering behind his back. Jin's gun is so much louder without the silencer. Did he bring one upstairs? Or did he get it from Jiminā€™s stash?
Jin nearly drags Tae to the three of you, and she clings to you. Your hand finds her face. Fingers are red and bloody smudging against her cheek, blink and you're back there a million moments in the past; dotting red blush across her cheeks with a brush- your fingers- kissing it into place with your lips- painting a line of maroon across her eyelids to bring out the lighter flecks in her eyes- Watching her twirl in a red dress. Pressing your red lips against hers in a quiet dark moment in the library room. With her in Hobi's red car- Everything red.
If it starts with red, maybe it's fitting that it ends in red too.
Jin doesnā€™t give you time to reminisce. Pushing her shoulder down hard. His bare chest splattered with splinters from the door. Covered in wood fragments that stick to his black sweatpants and damp feet. Shouting, ā€œAll of you get down!ā€
You follow your pack omegaā€™s words. Hobi and Tae With their damn alpha instincts blanket you as Jin fires again. The shots are so much louder in the small space. Another shot, another thunder strike. tae grips your wrist tight, your hands.
When you look down, they look mutilated. you can see bone in one place, deep gashes across the centre of your palms.
Your ears ring and you can't make sense of anything over the noise. Jin returns every bang with a boom of his own, bright flashes lighting up the dark staircase. Casing after casing tinkling down to the floor, rolling across the floorboards
But then, for a second- the gunfire goes quiet.
The house creeks and the three of you hold your breath. Jin's still half-concealed. The air heavy and clouded with gunsmoke and the smell of blood.
Hobi tentatively gets onto his knees and then stands when he doesn't immediately get shot at. You make a small noise in your throat, the loudest that you dare, but heā€™s looking after Jin, standing in the darkness, hackles raising his angry scent of burning sugar acrid in your nose. His hand slides out of yours, your blood on his palms.
And then you hear the rush of boots, echoing in the living room, near your nest- youā€™d never unmade it after you and Hobi fucked there. You'd been too busy taking care of Jimin. Hoseok bears his teeth.
Hobi turns, sliding out of your hands quicker than you can grab him. Quicker than you can tell him that heā€™s being dumb, that heā€™s being suicidal.
ā€œNot my girlfriend! You asshole!ā€
The world is a dizzying cacophony of gunpowder, pain, bullets, and shouting. Jin yells Hoseokā€™s name. But the alpha heads after the assassin regardless of your cries. Jin narrowly keeps him from running headlong into no mans land. the open area by the door that would leave Hoseok a sitting duck.
Taeā€™s standing up on unsteady legs as you all spill out of the stairs into the narrow hall. Out from her hiding place cowering behind the banister. Your attention isnā€™t on her itā€™s on Hobi. Neither you nor Jin are looking at her. Youā€™re running after him on shaky legs. Jin holds you both back, trying to corrall you. The air is cloudy with Gunsmoke, hazy and heavy. Her eyes are wide and pretty like dark marbles as she watches Hobi.
Theyā€™re just as pretty when the gun presses to the back of her head.
Everyone turns and goes still. The man has Tae in his arms, hand in her hair making her neck arch. The gun pressed to her jaw. Finger on the trigger.
Her body trembles and she doesnā€™t turn, frozen still in fear a shallow whine building in her throat.Jin has the gun trained on the man faster than you can make to step in Taeā€™s direction. But itā€™s no use.
He must have gone around, run through the livingroom through your pantry. A similar path that you took to surprise him. He must know the floor plan of the house, must have studied it to prevent situations like this. You have no upper hand here with tae in his arms.
Taeā€™s mouth is buttony and parted, but it settles into a resigned line.
Jinā€™s never been a good enough shot- not for one like this, even barely 10 feet away. He might hit Tae. Shaky, Jin takes his finger off the trigger and stoops down to put the gun on the floor. His other hand is up, already surrendering when the man jerks Tae's head back by her hair. Rougher than he needs to be.
ā€œDonā€™t shoot her, please donā€™t shoot- please.ā€
The man juts his chin at the gun on the floor. ā€œKick it away now, be a good omega.ā€ Jin grits his teeth but does as he says.
The manā€™s voice is rough as gravel. Dignified, but with no obvious accent. Not the quiet cadence that youā€™ve come to expect from the family. Neither posh nor lowbrow. Something in between. Flat and monotone. You're sure that you've never heard his voice before.
ā€œI have to admit, your file said youā€™d be resistant, but it said nothing about you being dumb as fuck and a poor shot to boot.ā€
Jin licks his lips and bares his teeth, ā€œPut that gun back in my hand and then say it again.ā€ The masked man cocks his head to the side and then shrugs as if Jin's fury doesn't mean anything to him.
But Heā€™s bleeding, it trails down to the floor so the words can't be genuine. It's a small wound, a graze on his right thigh. Red bright and hot that drips in onto the floor from his pant leg.
His hand tightens in Taeā€™s hair. ā€œLine up against the wall. Now. Or Iā€™ll blow her brains out in front of you."
You move first, eyes trained on Tae. But he snaps, eyes unreadable behind that mask, ā€œNo- not you. Iā€™m not here to kill you.ā€
He tosses something to Jin and he catches it. Handcuffs that jingle and clink. Your foot hits an errant bullet with a similar tinkle. ā€œHandcuff Jin to the stairs Hoseok.ā€
Your names, he knows your names. Your mind races over every detail, every moment trying to piece together a way to get out of this. a way to save them.
ā€œWhy are you doing this?ā€ Hobiā€™s trembling, shaking. ā€œDid Jimin-ā€
ā€œJiminie did nothing.ā€ The man croons dragging the barrel of the gun down Taeā€™s cheek leaving a dark smudge in its wake. It's red on her face, the barrel must still be hot, your blood crusty around her lips.
ā€œHonestly though, you should know he was a shit assassin. Truly piss poor even by industry standards. They always threw him the easiest kills."
The three of you are quiet, if he was hoping to elicit a reaction or more of a fight You donā€™t give him the satisfaction. Although jin grits his teeth, gnashing anger and an omega's feral instinct to protect their pups.
You step forward hands open, barely two steps from Tae. If you can just get to her maybe you can-
ā€œPlease- please donā€™t kill them."
He cocks his head at you, and you can hear the grin in his voice. ā€œOh no, you misunderstand me Iā€™m not going to do any of it.ā€
He taps Taeā€™s head once again with the gun and Tae starts to truly struggle. You tremble in fury and horror as you realize what he means with a sickening lurch in your stomach.
ā€œThis is how itā€™s going to work Y/nā€ You still at the sound of your name. ā€œTaehyung here is going to shoot Jin and Hoseok. And then once weā€™re sure theyā€™re good and dead, Iā€™ll kill her.ā€ He tosses you another pair of handcuffs, these ones are meant for you.
You take one step closer; Jin's gun is between your feet now. But you couldn't pick it up or else he'd shoot Tae. Time, you just need a minute to figure out what to do. How to get them out of this.
Yourself now, that's a different story. If you where in Tae's position you'd turn your face to the side and bite the mans hand.
ā€œAnd what about me then? If they're all dead whatā€™s to stop me from fighting?ā€ he seems to consider it only briefly, the gun in his hand tilting so that you can see the dark oval where the bullet will come out, where it will rocket through Tae's skull and take all the little worlds she dreams of, all her poems and words and make them nothing.
ā€œYou think you're so precious? Iā€™ll just kill you.ā€ he says it like it's nothing. like you're nothing. He nods to the others, appealing to them and not you. ā€œWhat do you want? All four of you to die? Or just three? What will hurt Namjoon the least? Do you think Yoongi will survive loosing his mate? What do you think Jinnie?ā€
You think of Yoongi's mating mark, the spot on his hip where your small curved semi-circles sit. You think of them turning black- a brand of a dead mate. You think of Hobi's eyes opening and never closing again. You think of Jungkook nesting without Jin and you. Of Namjoon holding out his hand and having no one to take it without Jin there.
You won't let any of this happen.
The others shoot each other unsure glances but you shake your head. you shake your head because earlier on the step, the man didn't take the easy shot, the easy kill.
If he really had orders to kill you, he would have done it then.
you step forward and shake your head. ā€œI donā€™t believe you. I know your orders are to take me. Thatā€™s what all of this is about isnā€™t it?ā€ The man doesnā€™t drop his weapon. Just presses it tighter to Taeā€™s jaw.
ā€œHandcuff Jin now Hobi. Or else Iā€™ll-ā€
You see the darkness settle in Jinā€™s eyes and before you know it he's turning to you, eyes flat. Endless in their darkness, the way they might if-
You don't let yourself consider it. You won't let it get to that point.
ā€œPup-ā€
You guess it does make sense, having you kill each other as opposed to the assassin doing the dirty work and implicating Moonbyul. If you really are on that ā€˜no kill listā€™ like Yoongi said at the hospital, having you take out each other is the only logical course of action. Once Tae kills Jin and Hobi, she'll be free game. This is the only way retribution wonā€™t fall back on her. This is so similar to what she tried and failed to do with Jimin and Jin. This is a second attempt.
Only-
Only this time, you have a bargaining chip.
You step forward, in front of Hobi and Jin, blocking them from his line of sight. Barely a pace in front of Tae, but from the way he tightens his grip on her you know that you can go no further.
ā€œYou can take me; Iā€™ll go with you. Willingly.ā€
Jin makes a noise in his throat and tries to move, but dares not when the man tightens his grip on Taeā€™s hair hard enough to rip a bit of it out.
ā€œThatā€™s what she wants, isnā€™t it? If you just let them live Iā€™ll go with you.ā€
The man is silent for a second. Hobi trembles and so does Jin. For a second, you truly think that heā€™s going to take the bait.
But the mask is directed towards the floor, then back up at you. ā€œThose arenā€™t my orders.ā€ His finger is on the trigger so close to Taeā€™s head. ā€œNow cuff him, I donā€™t want Jinnie getting any ideas.ā€
Hobiā€™s hands are shaking as he unwillingly shackles Jin to the steps as slowly as he can. He's buying time too. Every second and every heartbeat is precious. Both ends loop around a single rung and click closed. The rung itself is a little loose from a bullet that blew it apart near the bottom, itā€™s got to be the loosest one. Hobi turns, and you see the pre-meditation in his eyes; he chose that one so that Jin could still get free if he tried hard enough.
Everyone is trying. Everyone is defiant. The quirk of Jin's eyes as he settles, staring with rage at the man, his voice a quiet croon when he says what might very well be the last words he ever speaks.
ā€œTae you can close your eyes honey, itā€™s okay.ā€
"No I can't" She struggles harder against his hold, but it only gets her part of her hair pulled out with how rough the man jerks her, tears clouding her vision. "I can't- don't- please-"
Tae's soul has always been butterfly soft and flower tender. She's not made for this. She's not made for murder or pain or anything that lacks softness. She's never been a killer; Jimin was always that side of their coin. Saint and sinner.
Your body goes cold and for a second, you think you just might pass out, especially when Hoseok grips your wrist. One final squeeze in what can only be goodbye before he steps away and in front of jin. Hair puffed up. Jin is lowering his eyes and no no no.
No.
Tae is staring at you, eyes wide and scared, but you watch in total powerlessness as her eyebrows lower. You see the moment Tae thinks it. Eyes meeting yours, lips mouthing something that you canā€™t read. Maybe Iā€™m sorry no.
I love you. Sorry.
The truth is that Jimin drilled this with her years ago before she left for college and he couldnā€™t follow. When Jimin first realized that for the first time in their lives sheā€™d be without him as a constant protector. Delicate delicate Tae with her delicate pink soul. So vulnerable to the world and all its wickedness.
Tae didn't confront him about it until the nightmares were waking him up regularly. They were simple nightmares back then; images of Tae hurt and mugged. Tae beaten and left in an alleyway. Tae stalked through the night. Simple, but enough to keep him awake. Enough to torture him in his wakon hours as well as the nighttime.
If Jimin saw her now he'd pull the heavens down and demand something truly awful in exchange. He'd take one of the knives from the kitchen and gut him from belly button to addams apple. He'd eviscerate him- and Namjoon might help.
Hut there is no one here to do any of that, there is only Tae in the man's hold.
ā€œWhat are you so scared of?ā€ Sheā€™d asked one morning, trailing endless patterns on his chest in an effort to soothe him back to sleep.
ā€œSomething happening to you while Iā€™m not there, mostly.ā€
ā€œWould it make you feel better? If you taught me the basics?ā€
Jimin's pause is telling, more telling are his eyes, hopeful when he looks up at Tae. ā€œYes, it would.ā€
Itā€™s been years and years since Jimin Tae have bothered to drill any self-defense sequences it at all. Since he stopped asking her to refresh the basics with him once a year just to make sure. Jimin never thought that Tae would have to use those skills. Like with most things, you just sort of hope you don't have to fight.
But Tae knows you did fight. It's written all over your bloody face and your bloody hands, tightened to fists by your side. If you fought tooth and nail to save them she should fight too.
Tae has written fight scenes like this before. If she survives the press of the gun to the back of her head, sheā€™s gonna have one hell of a personal experience to pull from for her book. The content will be endless.
She seems to swell in the space, alpha shoulders settling back. Her mouth is moving, mouthing words her eyes on you. Just in case this is the last thing she ever does.
Iā€™m sorry, I love you.
ā€œBe a good boy and pick up the gun Tae.ā€ Tae bends down, syrupy slow. Intentional with her every movement. One heartbeat. Another. Tae's fingers are maybe an inch from the gun when everything goes haywire.
When she's about halfway bent she uses her momentum to hurl her body back, slamming her head into the gun and then into the manā€™s face. Cracking the mask and from the sound of it, the manā€™s nose. Tae's almost knocks herself out with the force of her own head colliding with the manā€™s face.
She turns, sheā€™s not finished, not even close. She might be a woman but sheā€™s an alpha too. Alphas always always fight to protect their pack. She turns and swings.
And drives her elbow as hard as she can between the alphaā€™s legs.
Hobi canā€™t stop his flinch. That has to hurt.
The assassinā€™s gun goes flying, skittering across the dark floor and under the bookcase and Hobi ends up lunging for it. You go after it too but you end up holding Tae instead, crumpling to the floor without anything to hold her up. Sheā€™s holding the back of her head, eyes watering.
The traditional mask lyes in pieces around you, shatered by the force of tae's headbut. The man clutches his nose, features still covered by the ski mast. Growling out- "Bitch- fucking bitch! I'll kill you. I'll fucking kill all of you-"
Jin struggles yanking his cuffed hands down as hard as he can- in another minute he might get loose, but not quick enough as Hobi finds the gun and raises it. The bullet hits the molding beside your pantry, missing the man by inches as he dives away to safety. A lucky shot by any standard, let alone for a beginner. Hobi shoots off after him. knocking into the wall before he's up and chasing it.
ā€œAre you okay, Tae, Tae- look up at me.ā€ Tae is clutching the back of her head. Blinking rabidly. That fucking hurt even if it was worth it.
ā€œIā€™m fine just-ā€ She leans over your legs and vomits, retching loud and horrible. Concussion- she must have given herself a concussion. Namjoon told you months ago how to read the signs of them shortly after the first time Jungkook ever had a seizure in front of you.
You hold her shoulders, watching Jin try and break himself free, yanking his wrists hard enough that it has to hurt. Moving to try and help him.
And then Hobi makes a noise in the other room, a pained ghasp, A thump and then-
Tae is already up and running, stumbling into the wall. You glance at Jin. "Go- just go" Jin grinds out. But Tae has longer legs than you do even concussed.
By the kitchen, Hobi slips on a fallen tangerine. (You remember then, Yoongi clearing the table with a brush of his hands for Jimin, tossing a whole bowl of them onto the floor. Where they've stayed since then) they're fighting, the man must have managed to disarm Hobi somehow because the gun sits under one of the chairs. Both of them are fighting just beside the dining room table. Part of it splintered and broken where someone broke it.
They're grappling on the floor now. Pushing against each other trying to gain the upper hand. you've watched the alpha's wrestle before- small disputes to settle and reaffirm the hierarchy, but you've never seen hobi move like this. You watch the man grasp at his waist reaching for the knife. His hands so slick with his own blood that it clatters to the floor. Hobi may not be trained but he's a fighter too. Gnashing his teeth and growling. Reaching up into the shallow gash at the mans throat and digging in his fingers.
And then heā€™s got Hobi on the ground and his hands around your alpha's throat. Tae tries to get him off but he backhands her, sending her sprawling to the ground and clutching her cheek. Too dizzy to stand. Big hands that squeeze and squeeze and squeeze Hobi's narrow throat. Spit at the corner of his lips turning frothy as hoseok tries to breathe and can't.
ā€œI didnā€™t come this far to get killed by a bunch of family rejects; 11 years and 1458 kills later and I will not die. Just give up already- I didnā€™t come this far to-ā€
Hobiā€™s face is turning purple, hands scrabbling, pushing against his face trying to get him off unsuccessfully. Dying there on the floor. Hobi is going to die right there if you don't do anything.
Jin is shouting from the other room and there is a frying pan in the kitchen. On the countertop that you snatch on your way past, winding up for it before you swing it with all your might at the man's head and-
At the end of the day, itā€™s hard to say exactly what kills him. Whether it's you or Tae who wields the killing blow. Itā€™s more of a group effort between you and her.
Tae has read countless books that described love as some gentle force, but this love has not made her gentle. Tae cannot sit there on the floor and watch Hobi die. She'd do anything to protect him and the pack. Sheā€™d kill people like Minnie did, would lie just as Jin had, would have sacrificed anything- even herself just like Yoongi.
Love had always been giving in Tae's mind, and she would give countless sins and untold violence, to have this not be the last day with you and the pack.
The gun is just sitting there under the chair. tae hardly has to lean over to get it. (If she makes it out of this alive, she swears to himself that she'll finally start taking those kickboxing classes that Jungkook teaches.) Tae lifts the gun at the same moment that your hand descends with the frying pan.
Tae turns, points, aims, and fires. She doesnā€™t even think twice about it. The trigger goes down as easily as breathing.
Getting shot in the throat definitely distracts him enough, definitely makes him let go of Hobi, clutching at his own throat instead of his. blood rushing over his hand and down onto hobi's face. So much that it almost splashes.
And then the frying pan hits his head with a hollow final thud.
There is a placid terror in things like this, a quiet as things go and come. The thumping, the sobbing breaths you let out, the descent of your hand, beating out your terror on the body below, a vessel for all of your fear.
The handle of the frying pan is thick and heavy in your hands. You bring it down on the manā€™s head, the curved edge of the cast iron connects with the plate of his skull with a hollow thud. One second, he's clutching at his blown-apart throat, and the next he goes limp, blood and brain matter splatters loud and heavy along the floor. Falling on top of Hobi like a lead weight.
Hobi's brown eyes are bloodshot and red in his mouth, heaving one big breath that sends the room spinning. Sends vertigo into his veins and panic-running adrenaline. You lift your arms up again and hit him, descending again and again.
His body is still, so still. His chest gives one open shudder and then goes truly quiet. Frozen in time. You are covered in blood, in your mouth, on your hair, on the ceiling. More and more splatters as your hand goes up and then down in an endless loop.
Dark cotton soaks, matted with blood and brain matter, blurry from your tears. A bit of it hits your face, wet and stinky. People never tell you how horrible it smells when people die.
You donā€™t stop hitting the man, even when it's clear he's dead. Even when you glare down at him through the tears in your eyes and see half a face staring up at you. An eyeball rolls across the floor.
There are arms around you pulling you off of him eventually. Dry warm arms, big and heavenly. One wrist dangles with a pair of handcuffs as Jin yanks you back from the man. The body.
ā€œPup- Itā€™s done, pup- he's gone- Stop.ā€
There is blood all over you. On your face, on your hands, around the frying pan. Tae too, sitting just beside you. Half of her body splattered. Hobi's soaked with it and still struggling to breathe. But both of them, the three of them are alive.
ā€œItā€™s over pup.ā€ Jin sounds like he might be crying. Tae definitely is.
Hobi puts his head between his knees, gasping for every breath but still breathing. Tae's got him in his lap. Holding on to him as he splutters. face so soaked with blood he can't open his eyes without blinking rapidly.
Itā€™s anything but over you think as you let go of the handle of the frying pan.
It clatters to the ground with a bloody and final thunk.

Notes:
if the beginning of the chapter feels weird/different in terms of narration that is because it was mostly written 3+ years ago and my writing style has changed alot! kinda crazy! hopefully people will just attribute it to hoseok's internal monologue. it might be meandering but i kept reminding myself that this is hoseok at his lowest you know?
One thing i want you guys to realize is that the m/c may not be smart, but holy fuck can she take a beating and still get up.
Gun shoot outs are uniquely hard to write because like, just bang and it's done right? idk why part of this writing just felt so tedious usually i love writing stuff like this :(
hobi calls the m/c his girlfriend šŸ„ŗ did you guys notice???? he's such a cute pup charecter.
i have more notes for this chapter BUT i can't share them until the next one is out because it involves hobi's secret.
i hope you guys see like- how good the m/c actually is at the crime and thinking on her feet shit- i think that this chapter above all others shows her street smarts. she knows to keep the guy talking and distracted- i think it compliments her similarities to jimin and jin like. the trio of them are very capable people you know? vs hobi who just headlong rushes the assassin and fucks shit up. i'm not saying it's his fault- he does the best that he can in this chapter.
I'm trying to pull from my actual knowledge of how guns work but fun fact, silencers are still fucking loud, like still so loud that you need ear protection. and even blank bullets can still cause serious injury at close range.
I'm again at the stage where i can't tell if the gun shooting scene is clunky and too predictable or if it's actually as creepy as i've made it out to be.
This is one of those situations- the bargaining for each others lives, that i've actually never had to handle. it's actually pretty unusual for me to write about things that i haven't experienced in some way shape or form.
i've only written a few scenes in my life that have made me wonder like "huh- i wonder if people might actually think that i've seen a dead body, been around a dead body, or killed someone before?" and ngl, the scene with the assassin dying is one that makes me wonder that... i promise i just have a scarily vivid imagination.

This was absolutely lovely!!!!!
I re-read their first time 3x before continuing the chapter lol it was so sweet, Li! You did again, wrote so beautifully that every line hit just right there šŸ©·
I remember when you first talked about their first time, long ago, I think it was answering a question and you add that it would be lovely and cozy and everything you my heart just burst in the best way possible šŸ©µ
The part you wrote "it doesn't hurt at all", just !!!!!!! šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ oh god!!!!! I really don't know how to express how much I love the way you write ao beautifuly!! I wish I could express it in a better way cause sounds so silly just saying it but!!! It's magical!!!
(The amount of cum was also hot af ā˜ŗļø)
I know by now you're addicted to cliffhangers, but at least you warned us!! Imagine how cruel it would be to not be prepared at all... you also wrote in a way we knew that perfect future scenes wouldn't happened so let me say I prepares my heart!!!
I'm very curious about how Mc will react tho!!! I'm pretty sure yoongi will feel that something isn't right at the same time she hears that jin shot poor jimin... šŸ«¢ Yoon didn't tell her that Jin works as an agent, right? At least I don't remember....
Mc getting back to cooking is so healing!!! To read and im pretty sure for her as well. Having hobi there just to stay close after sex also made my heart warm šŸ’“ they can't stay away from each other šŸ„² the way he kept saying "I love you" in his mind and finally broke into tears when he couldn't hold it anymore šŸ¤§šŸ¤§šŸ¤§ urgh!!! So cute!!!!
They're both!!! So cute!!! I know we're on the mafia shirt at the moment, but I wanna see jinny taking care of them both cause hobi also need so much care šŸ„ŗ
Take your time writing the next part! It doesn't matter it takes a lot of time, it will take the amount it needs to be good. Also take care of your daily self!!! šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°
Before I Leave You (Pt.63)
(Omegaverse au, Mafia au, Bts x Reader)
Summary:Ā you never thought that just cuddling with Hobi on a cold day could lead to this; his pants off and you begging "Daisy please-"
Tags: fluff, a little hurt but mostly just comfort, first times, soft cuddle sex, unintentional mutual somnophilia, knotting, scenting, under clarified limits, a touch of slick kink, breeding kink, a touch of size kink (you know the good stuff), unrealistic amounts of cum, implied belly bulge, implied feral sex, small triggers after sex, small references to past abusive relationships, hole check's, knot checks, dom/sub undertones to later scenes but not in the main smut,
W/c:Ā 14.2k
A/n:Ā thank you guys for being patient for this next chapter :) it's one of my favorites so please give it lots of love! i know we've all been waiting for hobi's confession and the completion of their arc, did i do it justice? Also i'm sorry that i have a pathological need to end every single chapter with a cliffhanger lol, this one is no different!
Previous partĀ ~Ā Masterlist
Tumblr media
(5 years ago. Before Yoongi. Before everyone.)
Jung Hoseok cleans his arms in a bathroom. He is 21 years old, there is lipstick on his fingers, and nothing bad has happened to him yet.
Bad is all relative of course. Some would call growing up in a rich area while living in a one-bedroom apartment bad. Some people would call not really knowing your parents because they work late nights bad. Some would even say that the fact that they wonā€™t pay for Hoseokā€™s college education a fucking tragedy.
But between you and me and Hoseok; other people wouldn't know a fucking tragedy if it hit them in the fucking face. Talking to some people about your suffering is like trying to make a toddler shoot the broad side of a god damn barn with a double barrel shotgun. Or like those little lemon slices they put in the water at olive garden-
It's fucking useless. And you're more likely to be sent to the hospital than get some actual fucking results. Weather it's because of food poisoning, a bullet wound, or because some idiot you trusted thinks you're a god damn suicide risk.
See right? Talking about your problems is fucking useless.
But heā€™s always been able to focus on the brighter side of things. It's a blessing and a curse because optimism always lies to you. It's easier to be happy than it is to be upset, at least for Hoseok at this moment.
At least he was an optimist until they ruined him a little. After this year, finding the silver will take effort.
The tiles beneath his feet are cold to the touch. He knows that thereā€™s a button somewhere to turn on the heated flooring but he just canā€™t find it. Hidden and unfamiliar as he is with this den. So different from his own little dormitory halfway across the city.
This fancy three-bedroom apartment is one that he will move into in precisely 4 months once they make it official, heā€™ll live here for exactly 2 years 3 months, and 8 days before being kicked out and moving into the pack's den. Itā€™s exactly 2 years to the date that he meets Min Yoongi in the record store.
But nothing bad has happened to him yet. Today he is just himself, No idea of what's about to befall him and that It won't just be bad.
This apartment is upscale, with its wainscotting and long gauzy curtains that barely keep out the sound of the city streets 5 stories below and the lightly warm June morning. Heā€™s not quite sure who pays for this one yet. Hasnā€™t had the chance to ask, he's only been seeing this pack for 2 months. This Hoseok is shyer than the one you know. Timid and unsure of where he should place his dulled claws.
It's all awfully mysterious. The question of "What do your parents do?" and the answer pressed to a raised finger. The truth lingering between lipstick and manicure on a single giggled breath.
"That's a secret"
He casts a glance around the bathroom, the marble counters, the plush hand towels, and even the designer soap is forghein to him.
Rich people.
It's one part tired jealousy and one part true distaste. Even if Hoseok had all the money in the world he wouldn't waste it on painting a bathroom white or powdery Dior soap. Why not blue or orange or green or pink?
(Oh Hobi. The packā€™s bathroom will be green one day, with delicate tiles in the shade of the lightest moss. Not yellow-toned and not blue. he's going to help yoongi pick it out, He just doesnā€™t know it yet).
Their apartment is just a few blocks from the college that he attends, a freshman but not for much longer. A freshman, along with the pack's youngest. Her on the business track and him in a weed-out art department. The prerequisite humanities course is their shared battleground.
Out of everything in this story, this is the only true coincidence.
This version of Hoseok likes omegas with a bit of a dark side. The ones that are a bit bitchy, a bit entitled and alot pretty. The ones that hone their eyeliner to a vicious edge, or the male ones that act a little bit more like alphas and disobey gender norms. Thatā€™s what drew his eye to this pack's youngest in their hum 1 class.
He got a little melty when her eyes turned less ā€œIā€™ll kill you if you even sniff in my directionā€ and more ā€œA pretty alpha like you has to have a pack right?ā€
Hoseok had stuttered when heā€™d said that No- he didnā€™t.
Before long heā€™ll drop out because he just canā€™t cut it at art school. Just canā€™t spend nights with fingers black from charcoal, working on things that will one day be thrown in the garbage because heā€™ll have a pack to attend to. Good alpha that he is.
(It will be years before he realizes that it wasn't art school just mediums. Heā€™s meant to use flowers to make things instead.)
Theyā€™re not his pack yet, not yet. not yet. Not Yet- But there is a gift waiting for him downstairs. A fancy set of pastels and paints. Itā€™s the start of courting even though heā€™s supposed to be the one buying them gifts. Heā€™s the penniless college student theyā€™re the ones with the nice apartment. Heā€™s the one with the knot, and theyā€™re all omegas. Itā€™s a give-and-take.
Yet somehow even though heā€™ll be the only alpha he knows he wonā€™t be the pack alpha.
He cleans the lipstick from his fingers. Bright red. He knows he has it in other places too, down below the tugged low hemline of his pants pulled on after they were done fucking.
The last thing he wants to be is like the other alphas in the fraternities on campus, the ones that holler at all the omegas shit like ā€œI can taste your slick from here baby,ā€ and ā€œwant to study anatomy together? Iā€™m a hands-on learnerā€ Hobi dreads the idea that he might be like that. Even a little bit. Even unintentionally.
But still, their words from earlier ring in his ears.
ā€œThey havenā€™t been dating for that long, you canā€™t expect us to be comfortable all the time with you in our nest, it's a really intimate thing for us."
Hobi feels like one of those phraternity alphas when it makes him uncomfortable.
Itā€™s reasonable that they wanted to give his knot a ride and try him out before they make it official. One alpha and four omegas, these odds are every alphaā€™s wet dream. He knows his performance was Oscar-worthy.
It had been nice to be in a nest for just a little bit, Hoseokā€™s biology wants it, the tense knot between his shoulders all loose.
Hoseok has never been loved by someone who wanted to talk to him every day, it will be easy for them to reduce his focus to their beck and call.
There's 4 different colors of lipstick on his cock. Four different shades from four different women. His new packmates get to the carrot part of the carrot and stick arrangement.
In the future, heā€™ll deny that he ever thought of any of these women as that- as packmates. He'll say it was only ever Namjoonā€™s pack that he wanted in this way. Heā€™ll say it never compared and it didnā€™t. Except for these first few months. These first few days.
Memories lie to us all the time; memory is the best secret keeper.
He watches one of his packmates sit on the edge of the nest, she wears the lipstick prints better than he does. Lining the inside of her thighs, her own lips smudged.
Hoseok doesnā€™t let the smile fall from his lips and she smiles back. She tugs her long hair free of a bun that sheā€™d put it up in so that she didnā€™t get slick in it. It will be a few more months until she cuts it above her collarbones. Blunt to a brutal edge.
Hoseokā€™s sweatshirt is on the edge of the nest, and Hoseok watches as she brings it to her nose, breathing in deep. Hoseok is just about to say that she can wear it when she throws it onto a nearby ottoman. Not onto the floor thankfully. No omega has ever worn his sweatshirt before. Hoseok tries not to let the rejection of his scent sting.
She looks at the lipstick on Hoseok, thereā€™s a bit on his lip. ā€œCome here.ā€ She asks, parting her legs.
Hoseok is a good alpha and goes.
~-~
(Now, You and Hobi)
When Hobi wakes it's because the pack is moving around the room, bickering, and struggling to be quiet, bickering a little.
Their low hum drum voices as they talk about ā€œJungkookie? where did you put my mittens?ā€ and ā€I sort of love that you still wear mittens, babe.ā€ Yoongiā€™s deep rumble, ā€œDid Jimin buy those for you too?ā€ All teasing and understanding. Because if anyone knows how Tae likes to be teased, Yoongi does.
Taeā€™s fond little croon is so melodic it makes Hobi sigh, ears straining to hear more of it. ā€œYes, he did. Got pup matching ones too.ā€
Pup. thatā€™s you. Curled in the center of the nest under Hobi's elbows. dozing but unable to lift your head from where it's pillowed. Youā€™re sure that Yoongi knows youā€™re kind of awake or at least listening in because Yoongi knows everything.
Youā€™re sure that as he looks down at you and Hobi tangled together, heā€™s doing it with a smirk. You donā€™t need to open your eyes and double-check.
The temperature of the nest is balmy, overly warm in the way that it gets when itā€™s cold outside and the nesting is hitting so particularly good that Hobi wonā€™t even think of moving. (The way it feels when you come out of the cold and into the waiting arms of someone you love) Hobi nuzzles into the warmth in front of him.
A small storm brews outside. The snow has been falling since midday. Just a little here and there. But Tae loves how it looks with all the Christmas lights. There arenā€™t quite enough up yet but the holiday season is close.
But the snow won't last, soon it wonā€™t be falling at all. It will all melt off by tonight, the afternoon is supposed to be sunny. Can sun showers happen with snow?
"Do you think we could walk all the way to the gym, it's not all that far! only like 10 miles. We could run it in like an hour!"
He listens to the others talk. The sound of Yoongiā€™s voice, gravely and vaguely upset. ā€œJungkook, youā€™re not really thinking about going to work out right now- Youā€™ve barely been home for like 5 hours. I just said we could go do something not run 10 fucking miles.ā€
Jungkook always gets this way; when the dizziness of the seizures turns to restlessness and he's honestly fine but the others can't resist trying to baby him. Too awake to sleep anymore. He sounds grumpy, whiney, and pouty even though Hobi's eyes aren't open to see him turn his puppy eyes on Yoongi. ā€œIā€™m never going to be able to sleep tonight if I donā€™t hyung- Iā€™m gonna go crazy.ā€
Thereā€™s the faint sound of lips meeting and smacking. Kisses that are probably meant to soothe Jungkook. ā€œHow about we compromise pup.ā€
ā€œA walk?ā€ Tae offers, sounding hopeful.
ā€œA long walk.ā€
You shift a little and Hoseok opens his eyes. You're mostly still asleep just settling, making yourself more comfortable with the new space no longer corralled by arms and bodies.
Hobiā€™s mouth is dry when he watches you shift onto your stomach your face half-smushed into the cushions, scenting them a little in your sleep. The homey scent fizzle in Hoseokā€™s bones tells him that you've scented him too. Being surrounded by the pack's scent like this makes Hobiā€™s skin feel like pop rocks. Like his bones are mentos and coca cola. All sensitive and tingly.
Heā€™s cuddled with you before- through your nightmares and last night at the hospital of course- but itā€™s never been just the two of you in a nest. Heā€™s never been the only alpha here, charged with guarding the pillows and blankets and you curled soft in the center.
Hobi tentatively puts an arm around your waist, tugging you a little closer. The house still hasn't totally warmed up yet and you'd be cold without some body heat. He does it slowly, seeing if youā€™ll wake.
There is a hand in his hair, petting softly, and he snatches his arm from around your waist the second Hoseok realizes he's being watched. Yoongi leans over the edge of the couch-turned-nest, smirking a little. The door shuts behind Tae and Jungkook with a puff of cold air, and he raises his eyebrows expectantly.
He would look intimidating if his beanie didn't have cat ears.Ā 
The pads of Yoongi's fingers rub soothing circles under Hobi's jaw and his lips part unintentionally. ā€œBe good yeah?ā€ he says, whisper soft. Hoseok just nods, too sleepy to verbally respond.
They havenā€™t talked much about Hobiā€™s confession; that night on the beach what feels like ages ago. But everytime he thinks of it Hobi still tastes salt on his tongue and your name on his lips.Ā 
Yoongiā€™s wearing the same look now that he did then; half hopeful and half worried. But if there was anyone that would object on your behalf, if Hobi wasn't allowed this closeness with you, Yoongi would tell him.
Yoongiļæ½ļæ½doesn'tĀ say that you and him aren't ready for cuddling like this. YoongiĀ doesn'tĀ say that Hoseok should give you space or not cradle you to his chest like you are something as fragile and necessary and as doomed as his beating heart. Trembling and stuttering with the force of sweet expectations and hopes made hollow with satisfaction.
Yoongi does not realize that Hoseok's heart has not had a steady beat since he woke up holding you.
Yoongi doesn't say anything. Yoongi just drags a single knuckle down his cheek and leaves. Heading out after Tae and Jungkook who are, judging from the hallow sound of snow hitting the windows- are having a snowball fight.
ā€œIf one of those hits me Iā€™m not holding anyoneā€™s hand for the whole walk-ā€œ
The door keeps out the sound of Tae's sweet giggles and Jungkookā€™s pouted,Ā "just one hyung- I won't hit your face-"Ā 
And the two of you are alone. Wrapped up warm, quiet and hushed, just the two of you.
Well, except for Noodle.
The meticulously kept edge of the nest is all fluffed, Noodle makes sure of it. Small paws depressing the blanket as he kneads it and then settles on the edge. His purr is audible from here as he blinks slowly from the bottom of the couch turned nest. Jin wrangled him for a brushing yesterday morning and his coat still looks extra fluffy and kempt.Ā 
Unwatched and unjudged, Hobi tentatively reaches to cradle your ribs again. Thumb smoothing down the center of your stomach, a little close to your belly button. Youā€™ve got a little hair there. Hobiā€™s fingers like the feel of it. Not rough but not silky.
Your skin feels like champagne bubbles and sparklers, everywhere he touches your skin goes fizzy. Hobi looks down at you, breath hitching, and thinks Is it really so horrible to want this? Why am I so afraid of this?Ā 
You wiggle a little closer in your sleep and Hobiā€™s arm goes vicelike.
Noodle's purr goes a little louder.Ā 
Hobi doesnā€™t like to think about his last pack ever, but he recognizes that hollow ache and tug that says memories arenā€™t too far behind. And it threatens to swallow him until he looks down at you. The house is quiet but your eyebrows are puffed up like something very shocking is happening in your dreams. He doesn't want to think about them right now.Ā 
He drags his nose across your hairline; scenting you. Tasting your emotions on his tongue. Comfort. Ease. Arousal-sweet. Not all that abnormal. Not nightmares then. He is always on the lookout for them. After Jungkook and the hospital, he sort of thought they might come back.Ā 
Hoseok counts his stars and snowflakes, and rests his forehead against the nape of your neck.
Over the next hour, youā€™re restless. Moving, worming your way closer to him as he goes in and out of sleep. You make a soft noise and he shushes you. a growl that says to stay put and alpha's here.
You blink slowly up at him. Hobi pulls back, taking his arm from around your waist, feeling like heā€™s just stolen candy from a jar on the counter thatā€™s for him anyway. You stretch and don't comment on it, yawning.Ā 
Noodle hops closer, squirming between the two of you and stepping over your shoulders. Meowing right in Hoseokā€™s face. ā€œAlright alright, Iā€™ll feed you again.ā€
You snuggle into the warm hallow he left on the couch when he detangles himself, hand under your cheek watching him as he stumbles out of the nest. Noodle follows tail held high. It's truly horrible. Leaving the nest when every bit of Hobi's body wants him to stay in the warmth. The house is always so slow to warm up.Ā 
ā€œFuck the floors are cold.ā€
ā€œQuick,ā€ you say, face above the edge of the cover. Hoseok rushes, doling out a single scoop of dry food and then running back to you. Hobi wastes precious seconds to grab his headphones from the kitchen table before collapsing onto the couch where you hold the blanket up, sealing the warmth and him back inside. The headphones tangle between the two of you and he falls with a giggle. Disappearing among the white blanket. He sinks thankfully into the warmth, into the safety that the nest offers. Into you.
Your warm arms wrap around his shoulders and his body shivers delightfully in a way that has nothing to do with the cold. Your jaw pops when you yawn and then he yawns too, a breath later. You laugh too and tuck your face into his shoulder.
ā€œFuck- itā€™s so cozy.ā€
It really is, the kind of cozy that only comes along a few times a year. A quiet to your bones that says there is nothing to do now but rest. The coldness that turns your bodies into these molten-loving things. Your warmth and Hoseokā€™s warmth. One warmth.
He breathes, deep and heavy.
ā€œI donā€™t know if I want to get up yet.ā€ The house is still quiet. Nothing but Noodles happy munching sounds and the faint scratch of big snowflakes hitting the windows.
Hobiā€™s heart beats frantic against yours and you sigh. ā€œWanna listen to some music?ā€ He offers. Hobi always loves a backtrack, a little compliment for the exposition.
You nod, a little sleepy, but Hobi has a playlist for that. Heā€™s got a playlist for everything including ā€™sleepy cozy pup timeā€™. The headphones take a second to locate, lost in the nest. But when he does you share them. One earphone a piece, the sound turned low so you can still talk.
Hobi puts on a love song, and it makes you smell all sweet. Stretched out with your hair tangling because youā€™ve left it unbound, the split ends prodding at Hobiā€™s cheeks. He doesnā€™t really listen to the song, just watches you. Eyes closed humming softly.
Your scent sours and Hoseok's hand goes tight on your wrist. You tell him what's bothering you without him even having to ask.
ā€œI saw this line the other day that didn't like." You look at the ceiling, not at him. "it said a love song is really good if you canā€™t tell whether theyā€™re talking about another person or if theyā€™re talking about god.ā€
You think about Jimin and Tae. You've been thinking about it since Tae talked about their childhood earlier and the bloody cross between the two of them. If holiness does exist, itā€™s in Tae. If there is anything like religion for you or Jimin, it's love. God has nothing to do with it. God's not the person who makes love songs sound good.
Hobi turns on his side, leaning on his elbow. ā€œIā€™m not sure Jimin would agree with that either.ā€
You turn in time to see Hobiā€™s smile. It catches the sunlight, lingering right on his cheek. An octagonal shaft of sunlight that has traveled millions of miles to get there could not have found a more beautiful place to fall. He huffs a quiet laugh again, and you swear you might hear the highest note of a piano somewhere.
You wonder when he became so musical to you, maybe itā€™s just because heā€™s the person who made you love music so much.
(You can tell a love song is good, when it makes you think of Hobi).
ā€œYouā€™re still worried about him, arenā€™t you?ā€ You rest your lips against his shoulder and Hobiā€™s body doesnā€™t move an inch. Theyā€™re soft where they lie not a kiss but not not a kiss either. You can rest your lips against his skin, you can rest your whole body and Hoseok wouldn't move an inch.
ā€œAlways worried, got to worry about Minnie. Always worried about everyone.ā€ You mumble. Eyes closing.
The light comes through the windows all honey yellow, turning the bookshelves that Yoongi made gold instead of white. Turns the tops of Hobiā€™s hair a little red too, the brown has endless depths in the sunlight all burnt umber and Sienna where the sun hits, yellow ocher at the tips. The sunlight savors falling on Hobi, down to the last inch.
You try to keep your eyes open, struggling, and Hobi sets a hand on the top of your head, ruffling your hair lightly.
"Go back to sleep pup."
You hum, already half there. He pulls you a little on top of him, holding you with a firmness usually reserved for too-large packages and the tenderness reserved for very fragile very precious things. It makes your whole body feel tingly at the edges.
ā€œThanks for not leaving the nest when everyone else did,ā€ you think he might be asleep for how long it takes him to answer. But everything in the last 24 hours has left you feeling like you donā€™t want to be alone, that you canā€™t be left by yourself. He breathes up and it presses against your stomach.
ā€œDidnā€™t want to go with the others- just wanted to stay here in the nest with you.ā€ nesting is a biological need for alphas as much as it is for omegas, Hobi hasn't felt so relaxed in ages.
He murmurs, hand still skimming through your hair. His thumb rolling against the nape of your neck and you shiver hard into the touch, sinking further into him. ā€œIs that okay?ā€
Your hand finds a spot under his arm and you use it to tug yourself closer, getting your forehead against his shoulder, the headphones slipping from your ear.
ā€œYeah. Itā€™s always okay.ā€
Hobi tucks your hair behind your ear and puts the headphones back in.
The next time you wake itā€™s because Noodle is licking at your forehead, grooming you, and you hear the shutter sound of Hobiā€™s camera, his small giggle. You swat at noodles face and he bats at you a little before settling on the small of your back, fighting Hobi for necessary real-estate and howling when he gets pushed off.
ā€œNu, be quiet,ā€ Hobiā€™s hushed words are answered with an equally quiet meow that sends you straight off to dreamland again.
You don't know how long it's been, it could have been hours or minutes the next time you wake. You just know that Hobi smells good, smells musky sweet caramel all drippy and heady, that you've got your nose pressed up against his scent gland. All surrounded by it. Surrounded by him.
The next time you wake is not so innocent.
Youā€™re a little too close. Cuddling with Hobi in a way that you might with Yoongi- with Namjoon or Jungkook. All warm snug hot. Bodies and dreams tangled so thoroughly that it's hard to tell where dreamy wants begin and fragile delights end.
Youā€™re warm at your front from Hobi and warm on your back from the sunshine streaming through the window. Warm all the way through. Until he moves his hand and you realize thatā€™s from him too. His fingers splayed over your spine.
You think you can be forgiven for confusing them. Hoseok and sunlight are one and the same.
The apex of your thigh is pressed tight to his hip just where his thigh starts. Your leg hitched over his hip and tight to it. The fabric of his sweatpants and the fabric of your pajama shorts are all bunched up from your movements. Your knee bent at a comfortable angle. His scent is heady in your nose, pressed to the low tugged collar of his shirt just over his heart.
As close as you can be but still not enough.
You don't even realize your hips are moving, sleepily grinding against his thigh until it's too late.
Hobi grabs your hips and groans.
You stop mid-movement, thoughts sloshing sleepy. And oh, you were moving, werenā€™t you? There is a dampness between your thighs and the scent of slick and arousal sharp in the air. That comfortable pleasure hiccup in your throat that says you want to cum and can. could like this.
You jerk back from the warmth in front of you, startled into wakefulness as you realize exactly you were just doing.
Oh no- you didnā€™t mean- Hobi. Alpha, warm and comfortable at your front.
You start to back up, still half asleep, but terror and embarrassment flood you like the ocean floods the sea rocks at high tide.
Hobi groans, a deep near growl sound, and moves before you can back up even an inch. he was just as asleep as you just were until you pulled away. His sleepy brain still clings to you.
His hands slip lower, holding you tight against his front. His sleepy alpha brain is malfunctioning. Sweet omega needs to stay close. The source of his warmth and the friction against his front cannot slip away.
His hands are on your ass and your pussy is pressed flushed to his hip, and Hobi-
Hobi is your best friend, Hobi is your packmate and Hobi has to be unaware of what heā€™s doing. Youā€™re sure of it. You try to pull away again from him fighting back more embarrassment than you've ever felt in your entire life, hands pressed to his chest.
But He pulls you right back to him.
Right into a unmistakable hardness poking at your stomach. Hard and warm. Right where you were grinding in your sleep.
Hoseokā€™s heavy breath brushes your ear.
Instincts are incredibly hard to describe. The way they hook into your consciousness and separate reason from action and want from logic. The part of you thatā€™s in control, that recognizes that you and Hobi shouldnā€™t be this close like this if itā€™s not talked about, is so distant.
A needy sound echoes that might be from you, that is from you, as Hobiā€™s hands slide up your hips and under his sweatshirt. Cold hands on your warm hips and oh-
Hobiā€™s eyes are cracked open, looking down at you, watching you with pink cheeks. Tongue darting out to lick at his lip. ā€œSā€™okey you just-" his eyes flutter closed again; breath warm against your face. "You take what you need.ā€
Itā€™s only a testament to the pack's care that you associate these things with each other. Safety and coziness are just so close to pleasure and comfort. Your sleepy body associates this kind of nesting with sex. it's only natural that you'd get a little needy while inside of it.
You can get needy, Hobi doesn't mind.
Before either of you can say if you really should, if this is really a good thing to do without talking about it first. Hobiā€™s hands are on your waist, pulling you back snug, his hard thigh between your legs.
If you were more awake, youā€™d think better of it, youā€™d think so much but there is only that sweet pressure. The drag, the wetness, the soft little huffs of breath that he shushes when he lets you take what you need. Helps you with his hands on your hips and guides you back into rocking against his thigh.
You feel it all the way down to your toes when his hands slide down to the curve of your ass then back up again, underneath the hem of your shorts and then your sweatshirt- his too (all of you his). Rucked up to your ribs.
ā€œSoft.ā€ Hobi groans.
This must not be real. This has to be a dream. Because Hobi doesn't want to touch you like this, Hobi doesn't groan and twitch against your stomach or guide the movement of your hips with his hands into a slow grind that has you gasping against his jaw. Hobi doesnā€™t leave the seat of your pajama bottoms soaked with slick. Hole clenching around nothing already. Utterly boneless where you lie against his front.
There is one single moment where you look at each other, one single moment where you try to keep from going any farther. Even though you want it, even though he wants it too. If Namjoon and Jin have taught you anything they've taught you caution.
Hoseok can smell the others lingering on your skin, the spot on the top of your head where Yoongi rested his cheek. He leans down, brushing his lips over it. Itā€™s such a tender gesture and it breaks the flood and he's tugging you up, tugging you even closer, desperation coloring his voice all sweet.
ā€œFuck- please.ā€ His forehead rests against yours, ā€œfuck I just need-ā€œ
You're not sure who moves first, who starts the kiss only that once youā€™re kissing him itā€™s hard to stop. One second you're holding back and the next you're kissing him like he's Yoongi and he's kissing you like he's starving.
Teeth clanging against each other, harsh as they nip. Kissing so good that when you pull apart for breath you're both gasping and it has nothing to do with needing air.
Hobi has such nice lips itā€™s no wonder that theyā€™re heart-shaped. Made for kissing, made for the needy needy licking against the seam of his lips. He shifts turning you on your side, surging up to kiss you properly and put his weight behind it. cradling your head with one hand and your side with the other. Youā€™re so pliant, so willing to let him kiss and take. You want him to take everything. arms around his neck.
He breaks apart, forehead resting against yours, heart beating so quick that he can feel it in his palms. Pupiles blown when he blinks. ā€œIf you take what you need, and I take what I need- Can we-ā€œ
Your hands thread hard in his hair. Tugging him back to your lips. Closer and closer. ā€œFuck Yes- please-ā€œ
You donā€™t know where the wanting comes from, why itā€™s raging through you like a fire. His lips move against yours frantic, you bite his lip and he jerks. Hovering over you with your back against the nest, all tingly and fizzy. Your bones feel like champagne popping, like shooting stars burning out.
Hobiā€™s hands shake when they touch your hips, just like yours do when you mirror him, your touches shy but just as hungry, tugging up his shirt, fingertips and nails pressing bluntly to his happy trail of fine dark hair. You can feel the way his cock jumps against your stomach and thigh when you scratch gently.
You pull back a little and sit up and itā€™s sacred; the way that he panics, scrambling to hold onto you. You're A little bit shy when you take off his sweatshirt, nothing underneath. hair fluffing when you get it free from the cotton.
Your bare skin and the cold room. You get goosebumps on your arms almost instantly when they cross over your bare chest. Hobiā€™s breath stutters in his chest, like roman candles flare and settle. Hobi takes his sweatshirt from you and sets it aside in his haste to hold you again.
He starts to tugs his pants down, getting tangled because he won't even pull back an inch from you. You kiss his throat, again and again making up for lost time. Sucking a mark there. His hands fumble with the waistband of his tied tight grey sweatpants. finding the loops and then freeze when he feels wetness. Pulling back and looking down just to make sure that that is what he thinks it is. you stop your kissing and look too.
There is a wet spot, darkening the grey material. Your slick from your grinding, the spot where you got so worked up and felt so good that you couldn't even help it. He pulls back so that the light can kiss it but yeah that's definitely from you. Evidence of how much you want this. Evidence of how much you want him.
Hoseok thinks you might have actually set his body on fire. Is about ready to start checking your fingers for matches.
You blush so hot that you think you might be burning in embarrassment. Hands between your legs, clutching at the material of the nest, so embarrassed you can't watch as Hoseok looks down at it and then up at you.
ā€œIā€™m sorry I- I canā€™t help it- I'm always-ā€œ
Hobiā€™s hands smooth over the wet patch, splaying up to cradle his cock where youā€™ve left your mark. And he looks at you, jaw rolling and eyes dark. He doesnā€™t say anything. Canā€™t.
Itā€™s hasty how you both move to take his pants off, and he kicks them to some forgotten corner of the nest, his boxers pulled off too, and then clings to you. You cling to each other. Kissing again. Hands knotting through his hair and tugging.
You glance down and oh- Hobi has such a pretty cock. the prettiest in the pack maybe (don't tell Tae), Flushed at the tip, hair neatly trimmed and curving up.
Your bare thighs press to his adds a whole new level to this, the skin there is sensitive and unknown. Lying thigh to thigh somehow feels more intimate than chest to chest as you lie the way lovers do, your leg, his, then yours again.
Youā€™re damp between your legs when he touches, hands shaking. He doesn't bother to take off your shorts just tugs the soaked bit of fabric to the side. Itā€™s been a long time since heā€™s touched a pussy but he knows enough to do it gently. Petting over your folds like heā€™s teasing a flower to bloom and opening a rose for a bouquet.
ā€œPleaseā€ you gasp, hand vicelike around his wrist. Kissing his frantic pulse again. Hot lips and a cold nose drag down his throat. You hiccup as the pads of his fingers find your clit, shaking against him. "Please-"
But you donā€™t need to ask, you donā€™t need to beg. Whatever you need Hobi will give it to you. Your hands scratch as his back when he presses close, snaking underneath his sweatshirt. Breath heavy.
He kisses your neck and bites it when his length brushes the wetness between your thighs. Hot and honey slick. his hips press to your hips, harsh lines of his thighs pointing low that you like. There is so much about Hobi that you like; the way that he kisses, the way that he touches. oh- itā€™s better than you imagined.
His knuckles are glossy with your slick when he curls them against the nest, holding himself up.
Hobi bends down to skim a kiss across your neck, your collarbones, your sternum.
You laugh, your giggle high and bright. He has to pull back, not upset at all but wanting to laugh too, giggling too. ā€œWhy are you?ā€
Your smile means everything to him. ā€œYour hair tickles.ā€ It is kind of fluffy, kind of pulled everywhere from your kissing and you run your fingers through it, scratching a little around the nape of his neck, and Hobi is done playing.
He pulls back, already dripping a bit of precum, silvery and pearl like at the head of his cock, standing against his stomach. a little hidden because he's still wearing his sweatshirt. Checking because he canā€™t not check.
ā€œIs this- can I- fuck are you-ā€œ
ā€œDaisy, please-ā€œ Oh, how that pet name unhinges him.
He won't make you wait another second for it, hands shaking as he holds your hip. Shushing your needy whimpers with a soothing alpha rumble as he guides his cock close. Giving you what you both need.
Hoseok is not as big as Namjoon or Tae or Jimin, but heā€™s properly thick. Not the kind of thickness that knocks the breath out of you but the kind that fits just right. Not enough to make you ache or hurt even a little. It doesnā€™t hurt at all when he eases in slowly.
It doesnā€™t hurt at all.
That might be because of how soaked you are; dripping messy underneath the warm humidity of the blanket. The visual of your glossy pussy robbed from him but unimportant as Hobi stares at your face, resting his head against your forehead. Watching your eyes dilate and eyelashes flutter. ā€œThere we go- fuck-ā€
Itā€™s not worth pulling back to separate how close you are. How good it feels to press his chest to your chest, not even a single inch separating you. His kisses go gentle and messy, moving against yours in a gentle rhythm just like his hips after he gives you a second to grow used to it. Rocking just a little.
Hoseok has heard the others talk about your pussy, those moments that he tried to block out at the beginning and then started to file away once loving you got more real. But for everything he's heard from his packmates, nothing compares to the reality.
The closeness. The way your hips fit. The hot- too much- clench around him.
He understands a little maybe, fully buried in you for the first time, why they talk about it so much. Why Jungkook had slipped it into dirty talk a few times with Namjoon and why it had made him growl and cum so quick. Why Tae had teased Yoongi for hogging you.
Your pussy feels like an inside joke in all the best ways, the kind of inside jokes that always have you feeling both known and loved. You canā€™t remember what you used to laugh about when you were a teenager and if asked Hoseok would fail to describe why sex with you feels so full. Why it feels like highlights and golden ages, the golden hour drenching you. Itā€™s not sex for pleasureā€™s sake and it's not sex for closeness's sake either- although thatā€™s part of it.
Itā€™s not sex at all, it's making love. With Hobi, itā€™s making love from the beginning.
It's not instincts and mating bond urges. Itā€™s not one submissive giving to a dominant. Itā€™s not about protection and safety even though that's there or because you're an omega and he's an alpha. Because he's a man and you're a woman.
It's just love, that's it.
And it doesnā€™t hurt at all. For either of you.
The eye contact is never ending, his warm and fucked out the more he rocks. Gentle at first and building up frantic. Hobi doesnā€™t fuck like the rest of the pack does either; he doesnā€™t speak, letting out these quiet heavy breaths and shushing your squeaks with soothing alpha grumbles. His thumb wiping away the few overwhelmed tears that slip out and a smile swallowing your hiccuping breaths.
"Fuckā€ he breathes, moving his hips a little faster. His stomach presses to yours damp and tacky with sweat. Hoseokā€™s doesn't fuck in and out all the way, hardly moving away from you at all. Just rocking in deep.
Hobi doesnā€™t stop hitting every spot, comfortable with these unending rocks of his hips, maddening in the way that he never stops filling you. Never pulls out even half way.
Your hands weakly clench in the blankets of the nest as he twitches right there. That sensitive spot inside of you that feels like courting ecstasy when he nudges it. Itā€™s the same spot that Yoongi likes to tease at, the spot that only his long fingers can reach properly and Taeā€™s too when sheā€™s really trying. Ghosting over it and petting at it until youā€™re mad with pleasure.
But Hobi doesnā€™t tease, Hobi just gives. rubbing against it again and again with every gentle roll of his hips.
you put your hand over your mouth to quiet your whimpers when he pulls back, sitting up just a little. Holding your waist and forcing your body further down on his cock, nudging it as deep as it can go and you sob.
Hobi grins, a little cocky, a little pleased that despite his size compared to the others you're still equally as wrecked.
ā€œRight there yeah?ā€ he teases, and then rocks against it again. thumbs pressing against your stomach where he cradles you. waist so tiny that they almost meet when he holds you.
Your cheeks are hot, and you have to turn and whimper into the pillow. he lets you shift so that you're belly down in the nest and he's behind you glued to your backside. lying his weight down behind you like a blanket. pressing you into the nest where you'll stay like a good pup.
Hoseok instincts are absolutely purring. omega, getting bred in such a pretty nest. Good warm soft omega.
Your hand laces with the blanket, needing something to hold onto and he kisses the back of your neck, treading your hands together as he keeps going. This new position lets him rock in even deeper, putting his weight behind it.
ā€œIf you keep going, Iā€™m not gonna be able to-ā€
His breath ghosts your ear, lips dragging down the column of your throat to nip and suck gently at your scent gland, marking you there. his hand presses, holding you to the bed as he rocks harder. His barely formed knot already inside and growing, getting you closer and closer as it thickens. Keeping him right there at the spot and you on the edge. You're so wet it's making noises, soaking and dripping down his cock.
He kisses your mating mark, nipping at it, and youā€™re gone.
You cum, a wet gush around his knot and a broken whimper. a growl in his throat sounds loud in the empty house. It sounds like made mate happy, made omega cum for me. Hoseok's Alpha is absolutely preening watching your Legs shake, the nape of your neck sweaty, body slack and head tilting to bear your neck. both of your bodies messy from it, filthy and blushing with love.
Hobiā€™s not far behind, rocking another time, a third, a quiet satisfied breath into the back of your neck before his knot pops locking you together as he cums so gently. No growls or gasps, just hot spurts that fill and satisfy you. Knot popping and Locking you so close you can feel his cock pulse. So close you can feel the same heartbeat on his lips when kisses you, hurried kisses pressed to the nape of your neck that quickly go slack with sleep.
Your hand settles across your stomach, and oh- you realize why hobi wasn't bothered by how wet he got you earlier. He just keeps cuming, so much that it's leaking a little around his knot. You're not sure that Jimin or Tae or Yoongi cum this much, Namjoon definitely does- but thats kinda proportional.
he just keeps going, heat flooding you. Maybe he's only cumming so much because it's the first time, and he needs to claim you from the inside out. you're a little too dizzy to figure it out.
You feel like you might pass out. You don't know if it's squirt or cum or just sweat when he lies himself over you. cuddling closer despite the mess. Teeth at your bared throat, Sucking softly, Soothing.
instincts are kind of embarrassing at best, irrationally hot at worse. you squirm a little closer so that his knot goes deeper.
The sunlight spills across your cuddled forms, still underneath the big thick blanket. He doesnā€™t pull out, the knot keeping him snug tight. His hand is on your cheek, rubbing up and down your jaw. He pulls the blanket up around you. And neither of you says a word as your rapid breathing calms.
Youā€™re not sure who falls back asleep first. Only that he wraps his arm around you and pulls you back on top of his chest, cuddled there. Knot warm and safe inside of you.
knotted together like this, you're finally finally close enough.
~-~
When Hobi wakes youā€™re watching him and his dick is out. Wet and slick and cold.
That would certainly cause him to be alarmed if it wasnā€™t for your expression; a little pale. Hands between your legs and looking at the doorway.
You just really don't want to drip cum onto the couch, like- obviously. Hobi didn't hurt you. But the brief terror at waking up uncuddled and so suddenly douses Hobi like a bucket of cold water.
The cold might be the actual reason for his sudden wakefulness. The wintry air in the room is jarring because the house is finally heating up. (as much to do with the heating system doing its job as it is with your activities earlier that turned the windows all hazy with condensation).
It's like someone had just come in and then abruptly left again. Your cheeks are pink, and there is a cloth on the side of the couch, folded and warm. You didn't get it for yourself.
ā€œDonā€™t freak out, but Yoongi and the others walked in while you were asleep.ā€
Youā€™re kind of glad that he wasnā€™t awake to see your mate barely contain his screech, jumping up and down with Jungkook in the entryway. Namjoonā€™s subtly grinning expression when he took in your appearance and paused in the cold doorway breathing in deeply. Tae wrapped around one arm; their walk interrupted by his return from surgery.
He groans, barely awake enough to think about the visual that Yoongi and the others were treated to. The consequences are better than a shot of expresso at wakeing him up.
But really, was there ever a possibility that the others wouldnā€™t find out about this? Does Hoseok even want them not to know?
He's too tired, too think about this logically.
Hoseok wonders why he didnā€™t wake to you holding him. Heā€™s seen you hold the others, hold Namjoon in the morning when you smell like him. The way you wake slowly and run your fingers through their hair. The other alphas have a habit of cuddling up to rest their head against your chest. Hobi remembers that day by the beach when you pet his hair, he wants you to do that now.
But he can't fucking ask. Asking you to cuddle him would be fucking embarrassing.
ā€œShit." He shakes off his neediness and easily locates his boxers in the mess of the nest because they're bright red. Surreptitiously tucking his now soft and deflated knot back inside. You look away, letting him have that moment of privacy without comment. Your arms curl around your chest, youā€™re still nude from the waist up. thighs clenched togeather.
ā€œYeah uhm, they went back out to like- give us some space.ā€
"Did they say anything?"
You look away, wiggling over to the edge of the nest. "No. But they looked like they wanted to say a whole lot.ā€
You definitely donā€™t say that you heard their scuffle, Namjoon and Tae using their alpha privileges to wrangle an overly excited Yoongi and Jungkook. or that both of them had come back inside, both with pink cheeks smelling sweet at the sight of Hobiā€™s face pressed to your neck and the fresh hickeys at your throat.
(Hobiā€™s hickeys are always so small and cute. Tae canā€™t wait to take a picture and save it, for memory's sake. Sheā€™s half tempted to take out her phone and snap a picture of the two of you now.)
Your hiss of ā€œDonā€™t say anything, I swear to fucking god if you wake him-" cured her of any bad ideas and had Namjoon grinning, his dimples showing.
Yoongiā€™s finger pressed to his lips in the doorway. Smiling wide and showing his gums. Omegas do get awfully protective over alphas in their nests. Especially post-knotting.
Youā€™re honestly a little surprised that their muted shouting hadnā€™t woken Hobi. The closed door had kept out the cold but not the sound of them discussing on the porch; mostly Tae's insistence that they needed to get out of the house for lunch instead of heading back inside.
ā€œBut what if they need aftercare?ā€
"We shouldnā€™t leave them alone and unprotected.ā€ (Classic Joonie).
ā€œYeah! What if they need cleaning!ā€
Yoongi snorts, ā€œGross Jk- Iā€™m pretty sure the last thing they want is you licking up Hobiā€™s cum.ā€
ā€œBut he always likes it when itā€™s Jinnie-" that had your face and body heating (although that could just be Hobi- a literal furnace that he is wrapped around you).
Now his warmth is on the other side of the nest yet it feels impossibly farther away. As you both stew in silence under the weight of what youā€™ve done, what you just did.
Everything feels quiet and scary as you put yourselves back together in silence. You use the wet washcloth to keep yourself from dripping all over the couch while he looks for his pants in the mess of blanekts that smell like sex.
Thoughts like shit shit shit and what have you done ping-ponging back and forth across his brain. Mind bouncing between unlikely personal regrets and likely female rejection (of which he is only too familiar with).
Hobi doesn't like feeling rejected, it always brings up bad memories. He didn't wake up to you holding him. Is that a rejection or is his brain just making it up? People always hold each other after sex. Don't they?
You reach for his sweatshirt but before you can touch it a growl bursts forth from his throat and you freeze.
Hoseok scrubs a hand across his eyes, trying to wipe away the memories fitfully. Maybe itā€™s just because of the fact that he woke up and you werenā€™t wrapped around him. He's going to have to cuddle you himself if he wants it right now.
This first time with you reminds him of other first time's that didnā€™t end well. He's sorry for it the second it slips past his lips.
ā€œSorry, I donā€™t know why I just- my fucking instincts feel like they're on fire."
ā€œSo can Iā€¦?ā€ you trail off. Your skin has goosebumps again. And Hoseok doesnā€™t know if itā€™s the casual nakedness that has him feeling so unmoored. A blush trailing its way up the back of his neck even though it shouldnā€™t be weird. He saw you shirtless every other hour during Namjoonā€™s rut for Christā€™s sake.
ā€œYeah, just wear it- please wear it.ā€ He canā€™t take back his growl, but he can meditate by watching you pick it up and hug it to your chest. Looking at him for a second as if to check that itā€™s still alright and heā€™s not going to snap at you again.
There is a hickey on your shoulder, the spot where it meets your arm. Hobi doesnā€™t know if itā€™s from him or someone else. It's a little too red to not be new. You donā€™t look uncomfortable being nude in front of him.
If anything, you look a little bit glowy.
You look at him and then pull it over your head. His cheeks still heating stubbornly as your chest moves a little, jiggling.
Why do girls have to just- girl all the time- it's honestly a little unfair how much hobi blushed.
He watches you, sitting on the edge of the bed in nothing but his boxers as you stand up pulling the sweatshirt down your hips. He stares at you until you ask a little flustered by hiding it, ā€œWhat?ā€
He tugs on the hem of his sweatshirt, slowly, carefully, leaning forward as he tugs on one of the strings with his teeth. His hands go to your waist pulling you close gently, half sure of himself and half afraid. Hoseok is always somehow half afraid. Is this allowed? Is this wanted?
He rests his head against your stomach, loosely twining his arms around your waist to pull you closer, still loose enough that you can step away if you want. All of this can stop if you donā€™t want it. He hopes you know that.
Hoseok looks down at your feet, not at your face. ā€œI love it when you wear my clothes. I really don't know where that came from.ā€
ā€œCareful,ā€ you say, a grin in your voice. Your tone light because you don't want him to smell so sour again. ā€œIā€™m gonna go for your pants next.ā€
You snatch his from the floor and dart away. Nothing excites an alphaā€™s instincts like a chase, and Hobi feels the fire light down his spine. His movements are a hunt-heavy blur. Brain honed in on you.
He catches you by the counter, your giggle echoing off the high ceilings. His blood heating again as he drags you by your hips and flops down into one of the bar stools, sitting you on top of him with a growl.
His hands grip hard around your waist, determined until heā€™s shy. Letting you go softly, ā€œSorry I just-ā€
ā€œInstincts still? Don't worry I get it.ā€ You give him his pants and sit up off his lap so that he can put them on. And now is not the time to get another boner Hobi- but itā€™s kind of hard not to when you smell so bred, so wholly satisfied.
Hobi did that. Hobi's the one who made you look like this drowning in the afterglow.
Your own instincts are telling you that you want to take the blankets from the couch and drag them upstairs, and tuck them in around the scents of the others. So that they can all see and smell how good you made your alpha feel.
Hoseokā€™s pleasure leaves an undercurrent to the air thatā€™s intoxicating. Half sugar-sweet and musky alpha. Your body hums with it as he steps up close behind you, close enough you can feel his warmth and not his body, nose skimming the bruise he left close to your mating mark. Letting out a tired sigh.
You did just work off a lot of energy, regardless of the half-nappy half-cuddle fucking that just was; It's also left you fucking hungry.
As much as the kitchen has been a place of anxiety for you it really isnā€™t with Hobi there. There is still that tape line on the floor that guards you off from the stove, sink, and the fridge. Hobi steps out from behind you and goes to the fridge, getting out some of the prepped fruit that Yoongi almost always keeps on hand.
But you keep looking at the kitchen, the pans hanging above the sink, your mixer sitting dusty in the corner. The hanging mugs. Everything.
He brings it to you, setting it down in front of where you sit. instincts making his eyes fever bright. He watches a little too intently as you lift a raspberry to your mouth. Something about watching you eat cools his instincts, making him release a taught breath.
He watches as you lift another piece, a blackberry to your lips and bite down. Almost purring, too afraid of what might slip out if he speaks. He half wants to do it himself and feed you from his fingertips. But thatā€™s a little too embarrassing to consider.
A minute later, after youā€™ve eaten half a dozen more pieces, he reaches past you, about to get a piece of peach. He doesn't think anything of it, but when he reaches past your face- you flinch.
It happens so quick that he almost doesnā€™t even catch it. One second your cheek is turned straight and the next your eyes are darting from him to the bowl. Scent souring with fear and memories from Geumjae.
Fuck. (No cuz actually- fuck Geumjae.)
You donā€™t look at him with fear, you just look at him with a strange sort of sadness in your eyes. Sorry. Like youā€™re sorry for being scared. hoseok's hand goes tight on the counter.
"I'm sorry."
Hobi sits down. Holds your hands in his, and waits for a second before he speaks. makes his words quiet and gentle because anger at someone dead and gone has no place here.
ā€œIā€™m not going to hurt you.ā€ You have nice hands, warm where they press into his. And he cradles them, your knuckles flexing vaguely in his grasp, gentle but commanding.
ā€œYouā€™ll try not to, you mean."
You smile at him sadly. Hobiā€™s chest is tight with it. He needs you to know how much he means those words. How much he needs to mean them. But you both know how hard it is to promise that.
"No. I mean Iā€™m not going to hurt you. Ever.ā€ He repeats. You smile at him sadly again. And he knows his brief anger earlier when you touched his sweatshirt- usually such a normal thing for you- didn't escape you at all. But grief and mourning and memory always finds you at the worst times; after first times and on sunny winter afternoons.
The two of you are a mess, bodies teeming with the memories of failed loves, lost and broken. But you can ignore your triggers; such innocuous things as you wearing his sweatshirt and him reaching past your face. You can ignore your memories; the wretched and rotten ones, just for today.
You let the heavy moment pass and look at the other side of the kitchen. Hobiā€™s chest feels tight with something. Something that he needs to say but canā€™t just yet. You can only tell someone you love them for the first time once. You donā€™t get a second chance.
Hobi just wants to get it right.
Youā€™re looking at the kitchen that Yoongi made for you, holding his hand still. using the other to feed yourself more fruit.
(Is there anything more intimate than holding hands with someone? It feels like more than the pads and lines of his fingers are pressed to yours. soul to soul and palm to palm. The future is written out right there but you ignore it. Love line, health line, fate. But the two of you are dedicated to writing your own end. Your love line is exactly the same length as his, not a millimeter longer).
Hoseokā€™s chest is still all tight. ā€œWhat are you thinking about?ā€
ā€œI havenā€™t made anything in months.ā€ You sigh, sad. ā€œI want to. I used to love baking, I used to-ā€ you break off, sorrow making you quiet.
Hobiā€™s eyes are fixed on your shoulder. There are freckles there. Heā€™s not sure why heā€™s never noticed them before or that youā€™ve got them dotting your back.
Hobi swallows past something in his throat. Pushing you gently from your chair until you're standing next to him. Cupping your waist because now that he's started touching you it's hard to stop. Now that he knows heā€™s allowed to touch you so casually, so affectionately, he going to keep doing it.
ā€œGo. Iā€™ll watch you, make sure you stay safe.ā€ Because thatā€™s the rule, isnā€™t it? Not that you canā€™t be in the kitchen at all, just that you need someone there to keep you safe.
The words feel tight in his throat, not easily said. I love you. He thinks as he watches you move to the mixer with a small but pretty smile that looks like daisies have taken root on your skin, everything sweet and flowering.
I love you. He thinks as he watches you get your cookbook from behind the mixer. I love you he thinks when he watches you place a mug from that morning in the sink. I love you he thinks as you get the sugar, the vanilla, the salt. He has to get up and get the flour for you, unwilling to have your arms strain underneath the heavy container, doting on you just because he can.
Just because he wants to, just because he loves you.
The shadow of whatā€™s left on the bag hits his dark clothes like a ghostly outline when he holds it. The flour is a bit like you; everywhere he touches it leaves an impression. The rainbows from his suncatcher you put in the kitchen shift with the angle of the sunlight, winking out one by one as dusk falls.
He sits at the kitchen island and watches as you hum and flick through your recipe book. Golden hour fades to orange and pink the same way that roses fade.
Heā€™s not sure why he blurts it out, why he asks, ā€œWhatā€™s your favorite?ā€
You look up from your cookbook, everything is set out but still, the recipe is undecided. ā€œWhat?ā€
Hobi can not look at you for this, instead looks at the kitchen island and the old butcher block countertop. Fingers toying along the edge where a knife left a gash.
ā€œYou always make everyone elseā€™s favorites; Namjoonā€™s honey cakes, coffee-flavored things for Jin, the vegan stuff for Jungkook you know- but-ā€ his eyes flick up to you in a moment of bravery. ā€œWhatā€™s yours? What's your favorite?ā€
You think for a moment, a kitchen apart, fingers tapping on the countertop and Hobi canā€™t take his eyes off of you. His body feels a little achy but in that ā€˜was just fucked goodā€™ sort of way that makes his breath deeper. Quieting some alpha part of him that always wants a little more. A little more scenting, a little more validation, a little more attention.
But everything can wait.
ā€œMy favorite thing to eat or my favorite thing to make?ā€
ā€œBoth. Either.ā€ You glance at the clock. Going to the pantry for a second to double-check that you have everything you'll need. ā€œIā€™ll have to make some of it from scratch but-" you look at him. ā€œDo you have time?ā€
Hobi nods. ā€œAs long as you need.ā€
Hobi watches as you measure out the flour and sift it. Hobi watches as you wait for the eggs to get to room temperature and fucks with the playlist. His phone will eventually get splashed with coco but- itā€™s okay.
All of this is okay, all of this is I love you I love you I love you and I donā€™t know what to do with all of it, can you take someone it, please. I donā€™t have enough space in my body to hold all of it. Hoseok doesnā€™t speak for how sheer the impulse is just to blurt it out.
The yellow plastic mixing bowl keeps clattering against the counter as you stir the egg yolks until they froth up and fizz. Pouting you turn your eyes to him. ā€œCan you help?ā€
Hoseok has to swallow back the words before they slip past. Hopping up a little too quickly. ā€œYeah of course.ā€
You donā€™t tell him what youā€™re making, let him guess. So many of your recipes need egg whites and vanilla. You let him put it together on his own. Hobi doesnā€™t peek at your recipe book and spoil the surprise.
Every action, every spoonful of sugar is I love you too, just say it. You donā€™t talk about the sex you just had and you donā€™t say I love you to him. You wait for him to say it first. You donā€™t say a thing besides; ā€œJust a half teaspoon of that; drizzle it a little at a time, or else it clumps together. Good.ā€ Hobiā€™s cheeks heat with every bit of praise and you have a lot of it for him.
Hobi looks away when you look up from the bowl, oh so carefully folding the batter and egg whites together. So gently that the hiss and bubble of whipped egg yolks disintegrating is hardly audible.
Hobi hasnā€™t baked since he was a kid; since he got into his head that chocolate chip cookies were totally something that an eight-year-old should be able to make on their own without adult supervision and almost burned his parentsā€™ apartment to the ground. He tells you the story and you laugh.
He can tell that youā€™re making adjustments as you go. Adding in a bit of cinnamon, piping off the cookies in neat little lines, and then tapping them oh so carefully to get rid of the bubbles.
The stove preheats and then the tray goes in, filling the room with your scent. That cakey baking aroma that has him resting his head back against the cabinets when you sit on the floor and greedily breathing in.
You wait the 30 minutes like that, sitting on the floor between the cabinets and stove. Your feet pressed to his knees and a glass of lemonade between the two of you.
ā€œYou really like baking,ā€ he says, and your eyelashes flutter, you must be getting tired. He takes your feet into his lap, using his hand to massage up your calf. Smiling when you sigh.
ā€œYeah, it makes me feel- I donā€™t know. I like making the world sweeter, just a little. Even if itā€™s just my little corner of it. Making things you guys like makes me happy too.ā€
ā€œYou know, you could go to culinary school if you wanted.ā€ Hobi gets a little shy because you hadnā€™t explicitly told Jin and Namjoon not to tell anyone about your plans or your application (still pending). It will be a few more weeks until you find out, but that change is just on the horizon.
He's already seen Jimin perusing expensive leather bookbags and has overseen a recommendation letter coming from Namjoonā€™s email. Hobi might have read it for him to double-check because Hobi always notices things the others might gloss over. Jin and Tae had given it proof read too.
You make a noise in your throat, halfway between a hum in approval and a hum in distaste. ā€œI donā€™t know, it seems like- a lot to do for a hobby.ā€
Hobi and you are the only two in the pack who wanted to go to college but didnā€™t. Couldnā€™t in your case because Geumjae wouldnā€™t let you and flunked out in his. He gets the lack of clarity in your voice; to go back or not go back. To try again or not try at all and not worry about whether or not youā€™re enough.
ā€œI already started applying anyway. Namjoon and Jin and Tae put a lot of effort into helping me apply and-ā€ You let out a frustrated sigh.
Hobi shakes his head, ā€œDoesnā€™t matter. You can change your mind.ā€ There is always time. You tap your toes against his shins and he grabs your feet and you jerk, ticklish. And he almost almost gives in to the urge to tell you he loves you right then and there.
ā€œBut could you be happy? Doing this all the time?ā€ You turn, putting your hand over your eyes to peer into the oven and make sure that the ladyfingers are rising properly. ā€œDoing it every day? Would it make you happy?ā€
You pause, hand on the door before replying in a small voice. ā€œYeah, maybe. Maybe I could be happy.ā€
You stand with a crack of your knees, sticking out your hand for Hobi and almost falling into him when he truly uses your hand to help himself up.
ā€œCome on, weā€™ve got to make the whipped cream next-ā€
It goes like that, you both talking, and Hobi fucking with the playlist. Thinking three little words and not saying them.
You let the ladyfingers cool for a few minutes while you make the expresso. Dunking them in quickly. Piping out the honey-flavored whipped cream in sticky little dollops. Shaking out the cocoa with a practiced hand.
You make the caramel for the top last. Sugar-burning, glass-like little strands on top for a bit of crunch.
The tiramisu is a delicate creation, the layers perfectly spaced out in just the right ratio of cream to chocolate. You let it sit for a second in the fridge and when you take it out, you cut it into a single perfect little square and put it on a plate for him. Treading over the blue painterā€™s tape line and lingering by him where he sits.
ā€œTry it.ā€ You ask and he does obediently.
Hobi takes a bite of it, rolling the flavors around his tongue while you watch. You havenā€™t cut a piece for yourself just yet, but you have a fork. You stand on the other side of the kitchen island and take a bite from the other corner of the pan, humming happily when the taste hits your tongue.
It really is your favorite. You grin at the plate, ā€œI could finish this whole thing in one sitting.ā€
Hobi takes another bite. Itā€™s really good, the flavors are simple but delicate, each of them identifiable but yet cohesive. He could eat all of it too.
Hoseok swallows and realizes why it's your favorite; It tastes like all of you- like the pack.
The honey whipped cream is Jin and Jungkook, and the chocolate cocoa on top is your mate; dark chocolate like an Oreo cookie. Hobi thinks it might not be normal cocoa. The homemade ladyfingers are soaked through with Namjoon's coffee and the cake itself is a delicate dance of Taeā€™s cinnamon, Jiminā€™s vanilla, and your scent too. Buttery and yummy.
He's finished half of what's on his plate before he realizes that you added the crunchy layer on top, the caramel too.
Thatā€™s Hobi isnā€™t it? The Burnt sugar sweetness. He knows thatā€™s not typical but still, you added in anyway. The smell of caramel is thick in the air. Sweet sweet sweet. Hobi always smells the sweetest when heā€™s falling in love.
The tiramisu tastes like the whole pack. Like love soaked threw. Hobiā€™s heart and body is full of it.
He thinks this might be his favorite too.
Hobi tries to blink back the wetness, really tries not to cry as he takes another big bite. He gets a little bit of whipped cream on his lip, licking it and sniffling. You pause, a bite hovering between the plate and your mouth before you set down your fork with a clink.
ā€œOh Hobiā€
The space between you is nothing more than air as you quickly head around the kitchen island. You cup both of his cheeks and he sags into the touch, hands instantly going over yours to keep them there. Tears spilling warm and unabated down his cheeks.
Hobi decides right then he is beyond pretending that he doesnā€™t want it, that he doesnā€™t want you. Wet cheeks and imploring eyes.
ā€œOh Hoseok, whatā€™s wrong?ā€
Youā€™re standing between his legs and your collarbone rests against his cheek. Your hand runs through his hair and his heart pulses hard.
"I didnā€™t mean to make you cry. If this is because-ā€ you trail off. You donā€™t say that you shouldnā€™t have had sex earlier because you canā€™t find it in yourself to regret this even a little bit. But you are sorry for not doing it in a way that didn't make him cry. If that's why he's crying.
ā€œNo itā€™s not that. I just-" Hoseok can hardly speak his mouth is so full of love that it bursts from him before he has a chance to think it through. Sobbing a little as he says it;
"I'm crying because I love you and I donā€™t know how to tell you.ā€
Hobi stutters and your hands on his cheeks go firm for a second before they relax. ā€œI love you; I love being around you, I love that you're my best friend and that i get to love you too. I love living in this house with you. Iā€™m crying because for the first time I get it-ā€
He canā€™t stop the confession now that it's started, and if he'd just open his eyes he'd get to see your smile but they're screwed shut tight.
ā€œI get it, I get why once Yoongi met you, he couldnā€™t leave. I understand why he brought you back to us. But-ā€ he hiccups and you giggle a little at the sound. His eyes shoot open and he realizes that you're crying too- that you haven't stepped away. You wipe away his tears with your thumbs and grin down at him.
ā€œI'm so fucking afraid too- I canā€™t help but feel like the way we started just- fucked everything up. I fucked everything up back then by being jealous. I look at you and Iā€™m scared Iā€™ll fuck this up.ā€
You hold his face in your hands and think; I will be gentle with you, I will be gentle with you even if it kills me. You have never loved someone broken like you, and you know how easy it is to make a wrong step. But youā€™re sure when you say the words anyway.
ā€œYou wonā€™t.ā€
ā€œBut-ā€ you kiss his hands, knuckles, fingertips. His forehead, his lips Everything. Your eyes are focused and Hobi canā€™t look away.
ā€œYou wonā€™t, you promised not to hurt me and you wonā€™t.ā€
He falls silent, and you pull him in close. His lips still tingle from your kiss and you kiss him again, long and lingering, hard with the force of your conviction. It tastes like tiramisu.
When you break apart, Hoseok rests his ear on your heart and listens.
You should say I love you back, you really should return the words. But you think there will be other moments to say them. You'll say it when you wake up with him tomorrow morning, you'll say it when you fall asleep tonight curled close to him. There will be more time to say them- during a late-night drives when you look over at him in the dark. There are always going to be more times to say it and youā€™ll say it and mean it every time.
Unfortunately, life isn't so neat and tidy.
You wipe his cheeks and he wipes yours and you both giggle, leaning into each other. You get him a tissue for his nose and start laughing all over again. Being with Hobi will always be like this, half your lover and half your best friend.
ā€œDo you want to go on a drive later, only,ā€ you wipe tears from your own eyes, ā€œwant to take the others this time?ā€
He smiles, ā€œThatā€™s the best idea youā€™ve ever had.ā€
He tries to pull you in for another kiss but you feed him a bite of tiramisu instead and it gets half on his cheek, ā€œfinish your cake alpha,ā€ you command, and Hobi is perilous to disobey. the next bite you take ends up on your cheek too because he tickles you, and you blush when he leans forward to lick it off your cheek. All giggly and happy and close. You sat practically on the edge of the counter. Noodle meows and laps up some of it from the floor.
You donā€™t need to say I love you back, you already have. Hobi can taste it on the edge of every bite.
You cut him another piece and share it this time, and he can't stop looking at you, can't stop smiling.
You smile around a mouthful, "i'm gonna tear up that train ticket."
"Don't you fucking dare. We've gotta like- put it in a scrap book or something."
You clean up the tiramisu, thinking of what might happen when the pack gets back, thinking of how things will go now that youā€™ve settled this. Theyā€™ll be happy; all of you all together finally. This last piece of your little family finally falling into place.
Maybe it will go like this:
Maybe when the pack gets home, there will not just be tiramisu on the counter. Maybe there will be gluten-free lemon bars and honey cakes. Chocolate ginger cookies dusted with powdered sugar and freshly baked bread with cheese and garlic. Little personal cheesecakes that you made in a muffin tin dotted with jam preserve because now that youā€™ve started to bake again there might not be anything to stop you.
You already feel the urge in your hands, the urge to make things. You think it might have been learned from Yoongi.
Maybe theyā€™ll come home with pizza, unsure if a party and alcohol is really the proper way to go about celebrating, but the cake from the bakery that Tae will buy as a joke, will have flowery lettering and ā€œcongrats for losing your Hobi-ginity"
It will make you laugh until your lungs ache like the fireworks have gone off. Will make him blush and rub the back of his neck in shyness.
When they come home there might be a few sly comments but the pack knows when to tease and when not to. Maybe Namjoon will take a hearty sniff at Hoseokā€™s throat, dragging it up and down the nape of his neck, huffing happily. (Namjoon has always been a little bit possessive of Hoseok the same way Jin has always been possessive of you, but that's pack alpha's for you).
Tae will tuck your hair behind your ears to get a better look at the mark he left on your throat, manicured fingers gently stroking over it. and Yoongi will shoot him a challenging look and drawl, "really daisy? is this really something you wanna start?" all playful. the way yoongi only gets when he's really really happy.
And when Jin gets home, Maybe heā€™ll drag you over his lap with some squirming because there is no avoiding this hole check. Not when Jin and the others have been waiting.
Under the hungry eyes of the rest of the pack, you would still squirm. Your mate watching and grinning as he nibbles a piece of pizza and just watches as Jin pulls your sleep shorts down to your knees. Leaving them there to pin your thighs together. Hand against the small of your back to keep you still.
Of course, the pack omega has to look after the two of you and make sure the lowest on the hierarchy is being safe without a stronger presence nearby. But your entrance is pink fucked warm, not red and inflamed. Hoseokā€™s knot is the perfect thing to warm you up, and Jin tugs his sweatshirt over your hips to keep you warm as he examines you.
Fingers drag your entrance apart to show the others how good hobi did. Prompting them to touch and feel for themselves, all of their fingers teasing at your entrance and all of them touching you. Tae and Jungkook holding your thighs, Jimin and Namjoon resting their hands on your ass to help jin hold you open better and yoongi prodding to feel-
They'd want to see his cum slip out, forced from your hole by your needy clench. Of course, they'd just fuck it back inside because not a drop can go to waste. one set of fingers and then another, jungkook leaning down to taste.
Jinā€™s eyes would be all dark eyes and honey tones, looking hoseok up and down, cheeks as red as the sweatshirt you wear. His praise makes Hobi feel just a little bit too proud for his own good.
Hobi would probably get a knot-check for that, because if the alpha has something to be proud of then surely the others need to check his ego (and only in the way that hobi likes).
The alphas would scuffle with him a little, wrestling to settle him. Hobi's instincts are still fever bright and he needs to be put in his place. To feel the pack for what they are; very necessary safety bumpers.
He'd go so easily after a few nips- Jimin would help pull his pants down so Namjoon could get his big hands around him, fingers teasing at the red skin around his base and making Hobi growl and gasp. Pausing to cup lower and make sure Hoseok's empty, that he didn't hold back breeding you. Tae would tutt and make him open his mouth, her finger teasing along his teeth just for shits and giggles. Just to make him groan.
Nothing makes an alpha more proud than getting to show off his teeth.
Jin would smile at the display, and croon. ā€œGood alpha.ā€
Maybe Jin will pat your pussy lips softly before pulling your pants up, making you flinch and then relax and jungkook would bend down to give Hoseok's knot a little kiss before standing.
The whole thing would take maybe 5 minutes but it would leave the whole pack ravenous for more. The final evidence of this finally happening; all of you together and not fragmented.
As you should be, together.
Maybe later, after treats and pizza, you'll all get to go to the beach like Hobi promised. Two separate cars. And Namjoon might let Hoseok and Jimin do donuts in the empty parking lot without too much fuss. The smell of tires and gasoline ripping.
Jungkook whooping and Yoongi watching on with his grin, Jin in the back seat with you going ā€œOh- oh hope- slow downā€ looking a little green. But terrorizing the pack omega is kind of your job.
Itā€™s cold and late at night but youā€™ll tear out across the sand. Running to the shore. Tossing your shoes into the dark and toeing into the waves. Yelling happy.
You and Hobi will try and throw Yoongi into the water and then the other alphas will actually succeed in throwing Namjoon, pushing him until he inevitably tumbles into the seafoam. All 7 of you will try and wrangle Jungkook into the same wet fate and fail.
Jin will tuck Namjoonā€™s wet hair back behind his ear and grin at him, his grin saying the words they donā€™t need to. Kisses tases like secrets and salt but that much has not changed. Might never change when it comes to the eight of you. All the secrets in the world couldnā€™t keep you apart.
Youā€™ll get zoomy in the way that dogs get in wide-open spaces. Youā€™ll run. Your feet slapping against the sand, tossing spray into the air as high as your laughter, chasing after each other. A bunch of barefoot kids in too-big bodies and sand between your toes. Hands clasped tight in each otherā€™s so that you wonā€™t let go. You wonā€™t ever let go now that you've found them.
For once you'll be absent of all the things that drag you down. Lighter than the warm air that billows over the sea. Mouths that store special secret salty smiles for the better. Damp fingers that curl against warm wrists. holding onto each other tight even though youā€™re running and running-
Running.
Maybe.
But thatā€™s not what happens. Instead, what happens is this;
You are sitting at the kitchen counter when Hobi gets a text. Itā€™s from Jungkook asking about the pizza types that youā€™d want and
Yoongiā€™s left his phone, he says with a little šŸ‘€ emoji. But he wonā€™t truly tease the both of you until he gets home. Of course Yoongi was too distracted by you and Hobi post coitous to grab it from the other room.
you to to the pantry to put away the flour and this close- you can hear another phone ring from the bathroom. It's it yours? Only No, it's not your phone sitting on the counter, but Yoongiā€™s. Lighting up with Jinā€™s contact information.
JinJinJin: 5 missed calls.
It's so like your mate to leave his phone in such a random place. You smile as you pick up.
Jin is already talking a mile a minute. Fear and panic make his words come quick and desperate.
ā€œYoongi- why the fuck didn't you pick up" You don't have time to respond. Don't have time to let him know it's not your mate but you that picked up the phone.
"I donā€™t know how the fuck it happened, I donā€™t know- but-ā€œ heā€™s almost shouting over the phone, such raw panic in his voice that it has your body going frozen.
Jin lets out a broken sobbing breath.
"I shot Minnie.ā€

Notes:
I ended up editing out a good portion of Hoseok ā€™s inner monologue at the begining, because I realized that at that point in time with the other pack he wouldnā€™t have been thinking stuff about how terrible it was because it wasnā€™t terrible yet. i probably should have even edited it fluffier if we're being honest. i think that would have been more unsettling.
The line where she says ā€œOne second you're holding back and the next you're kissing him like he's Yoongi and he's kissing you like he's starving.ā€ Is a little hard to explain, sheā€™s not thinking about Yoongi in that moment but the person she associates the most with love is Yoongi so- yeah it made sense. I feel like this line might make people go a little like ā€œwhat??ā€
I swear if you guys didnā€™t cry a little at the ā€˜It doesnā€™t hurt at all.ā€™ Parts Iā€™m not doing this right because I was SOBBING.
Listen, I almost edited out the line where he calls her pussy an inside joke so many times- but for me- when I was younger I always wanted to be a part of inside jokes because like- if you are that means youā€™ve got history with someone- Hoseok is thinking this because until this moment- he hasnā€™t been able to be apart of something that the rest of the pack had understood.
When Hoseok was leaving a hickey over her mating mark itā€™s his way of saying ā€œthis is mine too šŸ˜ ā€ to Yoongi,
Honestly??? Why is Hobi so feral in this like- heā€™s a /little/ unhinged from how much he wants her and tbh itā€™s fair. Look away if you donā€™t wanna read him going APESHIT for her.
ALSO- Iā€™m just imagining him on the walk with jungkook and Tae, cheeks slowly pinking up because he can feel that theyā€™re having sex down the mating bond, maybe getting hard and the others noticing, both of them plastering themselves along his side and teasing him with words like ā€œdo you think heā€™s making her all wet and messy hyung? Do you think sheā€™s gonna cream around his cock like she creams around yours?ā€ and Yoongi just- endlessly suffering around the two horndogs that are Tae on estrogen and jungkook on a regular day.
The moment where theyā€™re holding hands and itā€™s talking about palmistry is a refrence to noah kahanā€™s song everywhere everything and the line ā€œitā€™s been a long year, in all of our books pages dog eared, we write out the ends on our palms dear, and forget to read.ā€
The worst worst worst part about this chapter is that I donā€™t??? have a fucking recipe for the tiramisu?? Like Iā€™ve made it before but Iā€™ve never made honey flavored whipped cream or put caramel on top šŸ„ŗ maybe Iā€™ll test it out one dayand update this chapter
Okay so the ā€˜flash into the improbable future at the end is a little too horny for the end of smutt but I couldnā€™t just /not/ put it in there because you know how I love a good hole check scene.
do you hate me because of this cliffhanger? even i have to say its a little unforgivable.
please be patient for next chapter because i do not have A SINGLE fucking word written for it. like nada, we're starting from scratch come monday.

Omg omg omg I can't believe after 8e839393 years is finally happening!!!
To be quite honest, their intimacy just cuddling in the nest already makes my heart explode cause it took such a journey!!!
I Love that bily has so many stories connected while we keep reading. Their story became one of my favorite of them all (Mc and tae are still my fav).
Also, loved how you described Hobi being the same as sunlight šŸ„ŗšŸ’›šŸ’›šŸ’› he is!!! So!! Much!!!

Chapter 63: Fizz and Burn (Sneak Peak) Ā 
The light comes through the windows all honey yellow, turning the bookshelves that Yoongi made gold instead of white. Turns the tops of Hobiā€™s hair a little red too. The brown turning to a rainbow of ocher in the sunlight.
"Go back to sleep." You hum, already half there. He pulls you a little on top of him, holding you with a firmness usually reserved for too large packages and the tenderness reserved for very fragile very precious things. It makes your whole body feel tingly at the edges, the way it does when you come inside from a rainstorm. All dry and taken care of.
ā€œThanks for not leaving the nest when everyone else did,ā€ you think he might be asleep for how long it takes him to answer. But everything in the last 24 hours has left you feeling like you donā€™t want to be alone, that you canā€™t be left by yourself.
He breathes up and it presses against your stomach. ā€œDidnā€™t want to go. Wanna stay in the nest with you.ā€ He murmurs, ā€œIs that okay?ā€
Your hand finds his arm and you use it to tug yourself closer, getting your forehead against his shoulder, the headphones slipping from your ear.
ā€œYeah. Itā€™s always okay.ā€
You shut your eyes and Hobi tucks your hair behind your ear and puts the headphones back in.
The next time you wake itā€™s because noodle is licking at your forehead, grooming you, and you hear the shutter sound of Hobiā€™s camera, his small giggle. You swat at noodles face and he bats at you a little before settling on the small of your back, fighting Hobi for necessary real-estate and howling when he pushes him off. ā€œNu, be quiet,ā€
Hobiā€™s hushed words are answered with a equally quiet meow that sends you straight off to dreamland.
The next time you wake is not so innocent.
Youā€™re a little too close, cuddling with Hobi in a way that you might with Yoongi, with Namjoon, with Jungkook. All warm and snug hot. Bodies and dreams tangled so thuroughtly it's hard to tell where dreamy wants begin and fragile delights end.
Youā€™re warm at your front from Hobi and warm on your back from the sunshine streaming through the window. Warm all the way through. Until he moves his hand and you realize thatā€™s from him too. His fingers splayed over your spine.
You think you can be forgiven for confusing them. Hoseok and sunlight are one in the same.
The apex of your thigh is pressed tight to his hip just where his thigh starts. Your leg hitched over his hip and tight to it. The fabric of his sweatpants and the fabric of your pajama shorts are all bunched up from your movements. Your knee bent at a comfortable angle. His scent is heady in your nose, pressed to the low tugged collar of his shirt just over his heart.
As close as you can be but still not enough.
You don't even realize your hips are moving, sleepily grinding against his thigh until it's too late and Hobi grabs your hips and groans.

whyyyyy he's so sweeeet :'''')
look at him, worring tons and still 'just the right amount' urghh yoongi kills me while just ~breathing~ D:
also, there'll be another 5 people there to control joon whenever it be needed :))) yoons must realise he takes care of mc but hes not the only one :( and he can trust others too... Imagine, if he comes with those fears to jin and tae for exemple :( they'd help smooth his anxious heart </3
that being said... this couple updates gonna be interesting :))))
can we get any sneak peeks of the next chapter yet? one line? šŸ„ŗ
oh you can have more than one line! i've left you guys waiting for long enough <3 thank you for sticking around for a whole month between updates! this chapter will be coming out this coming saturday!
Chapter 54 (Sneak Peek)
He holds you like heā€™s savoring you. Like he thinks he wonā€™t get the chance to in the next few days. His scent mellowing out; sometimes Yoongi smells like Ghirardelli, like ganache and chocolate drizzle. Other times he's more M&M's and chocolate chips. It's he's struggling to control his scent and meditate it into something not so sad.
You last a few minutes, and between the third batch of honey-cakes-sans-honey, you finally can't take it anymore.
You press your ear to his back, and you can feel the way he trembles, the thud of his heart faintly uneven, like every few seconds he's got to catch himself. Especially when your arms fold over his stomach and Yoongi stops cracking the eggs, broken eggshells in his palm.
"What are you so worried about Yoon?" The pet name is sweet, and the light in the kitchen streams in all yellow mid-morning. There's a round bit of egg yolk in the flour bowl sitting unbroken and unmixed with the gooey butter. Yoongi stares at it. There's a bit of egg white on his fingers. Sticky and unpleasant.
"I think Namjoon's going to scare you."
The confession comes easily without the rest of the pack there to listen (you won't misinterpret the words and take them personally like they might). Namjoon would never hurt you- Yoongi knows that he'd sooner cut off his own hands than lay a finger on you that you didn't explictly ask for- but still
Intended and unintended hurts might not weigh the same on Yoongi's imaginary scale; You'll hurt all the same. Your mate looks down at you, a bit of batter on his collar and flour speckling his black shirt.
Selfishness is a different kind of hurt. Wanting to be selfish means you can't trust anyone around you to look after your wants and tend to them. Yoongi will not feel guilty for wanting to be selfish. for wanting control.
For a second, he considers asking you to not spend Namjoon's rut with him at all. He imagines it; you locking yourself in the upstairs bedroom or going to a hotel. Namjoon would go crazy hunting the house for your scent.
The upstairs room is too much of a birdcage for yoongi to risk clipping your wings, and a hotel would feel like a pretty little jewelry box to stuff you in. Yoongi won't hide you away to sate his own worry, he'll simply have to make this safe in his own way.
"I don't want to make you nervous." Really, he doesn't. "but Namjoon gets a little animalistic during his rut. There's a reason why Jin's collar for him is a chain. We don't always have the easiest time controlling him." He has no business keeping you from making your own choices- love and all.
"You worry about me too much." Yoongi rests his head across the top of your head. Setting the broken eggshells on the counter in favor of setting his forearms around your shoulders, keeping his sticky hands away from your back.
He pouts, lips stubbornly kissing your brows again as you curl close and nuzzle into his chest, Nosing at the space over his heart.
"I worry about you just the right amount."

Wow woahhhh so many potention here!!!!
The angst when Mc wakes up and 1) feels tons of new things 2) is in an unknown place 3) discover that yeah šŸŗ actually exists and here are some new rules: no, can't leave, has to obey hobi, heal etc and no, can't come back to your old pack 4) she getting like "what pack?" "The one you smelled so strong of?" 5) vminkook finding her and a bit territorial fight because Mc is one of her new packmates and just 3 wolves got close to them 6) Mc getting like "so I can finally be part of your dinamic" "no,like we said you can't go back to them" jcnsofnpsnfos I need moreeeee, this one has so much potential!!!!
Maybe kook being the emotional pup he's, he run sometimes to get till her, so they can stay a bit together and they try their best to not hug even if they really want too. Hobi silently knowing what's happening and letting them anyway just one day when it was pretty cold and she's was leaving again he voices his command "ok tell pup to get inside with you, don't wanna any of you guys to get cold" "did you just said pup?"
i had an idea of m/c x vminkook where they're roommates, and drunkenly one night- the m/c confesses she writes a/b/o fiction....unaware that she's been living with three werewolves and that werewolves are even real, and that vminkook are one dynamic a peice.
just imagine beta minnie putting her to bed in jungkook's nest while she's drunk, "i think if someone scent marked me i'd moan." "can you imagine a knot minnie? i can't think of regular sex scenes anymore" (jimin- blushing- supremely aware of what taehyung's knot feels like) "seems overrated to me" taehyung twitches. barely managing to keep a straight face.
"if i got called pup i'd cry- why is dating so hard minnie? why can't a sexy alpha meet me and fall in love with my scent- what about fated mates too!!!" jimin- completely aware that the very thing happened with pack alpha tae "i don't know honey we can call you pup if you want us to šŸ˜³" very very aware that pup is something that /only/ packmates call each other.
maybe it escalates, and omega jk helps her make her 'nests' to fulfil her touch starvedness, pulling her in for omega snuggles, giggling when he licks at her chin "you're getting really into this roleplay kookie! you're such a good friend" jungkook (slicking up in his shorts because she tastes really good) "no problem!"
maybe tae starts to get more comfortable scenting her, dragging her close oblivious to the way he's drenching her in his scent so that any wolves she might meet will know she belongs to a pack already.
maybe in this universe, werewolves can be turned- but they're a little bit different- a little bit more /volatile/ when they're turned and not born. what if something really really bad happens to the m/c- like she gets lost in the woods after her car crashes and nearly dies of hypothermia- only to be found by pack alpha hobi šŸ„ŗ who has his beta namjoon turn her (only beta's can turn others) because it's very very clear from the scents leaking off of her that someone loves this human very very much, and if it was one of their pack members so hurt- he wouldn't want them to die.
Queue a very difficult pack merger when vminkook hunt her scent through the woods and find her in namjinseokgi's extensively large mountainside cabin- healing from the bite and adjusting to the change. and they have to explain to her- yes we kept it from you- no you can't be in our pack anymore because officially- you belong to hobi now...
only- why is tae's alpha rolling over on his belly when alpha jin noses at his neck? why are yoongi and jungkook building nests together? whats more is that in the first few years of being a turned wolf- she's got to get used to all the new scents and sensations šŸ„ŗ and she pretty much has to be wrapped around hobi at all times for things not to feel so scary- new instincts that feel so intense.
what with her presentation as an omega too- it makes it that much more important that she stay safe at the cabin and not return to her life in the big city, and vminkook aren't gonna give up yet šŸ„ŗ she's their pup.

Previous Chapter - Masterlist
Chapter 53: Iā€™d do Worse (Sneak Peak)
Jimin promptly takes one of the tubes of paint, a light blue- the same light blue that you ended up painting the upstairs bathroom, and squishes it out onto the canvas below you. Near your hand but not on it.
The breath you were holding rushes out in a single jagged laugh, ā€œOkay, now Iā€™m lost- I thought the whole point of the plastic and drop cloths was not to get paint on them.ā€
The look he shoots you asks you to suspend your disbelief. Especially once he starts doing that to all the other colors. He continues to drop careful splotches of paint around you. Enough that it would take a lot of concentration to get out of the room without tracking dark blue or pink or yellow or red halfway across the house.
You wonder what exactly Jimin plans to do to you. Paint included. He puts out a spurt of yellow paint on your side and then another.Ā 
Surely sooner rather than later, noodle is going to wander in here in search of a pool of sunlight, track his paws or tail through the paint, and leave pawprints everywhere throughout the house. Yoongi will probably complain about them, but you might make him keep them instead of washing them away.Ā 
When heā€™s finished, Jimin turns a yellow tube over in his hands. Back and forth, the cap flashing like a rising and setting small yellow sun. jiminā€™s voice is low when he speaks, near reverent. ā€œYouā€™re the first woman I was ever with- that I ever knewĀ I was with.ā€Ā 
Itā€™s an admission and an admonishment, one that you and the rest of your pack have been tiptoeing around. Even though Taeā€™s a woman now- she hadnā€™t always been- at least not in a way the pack could compensate for. While new lines in the sand are drawn that doesnā€™t mean the old lines totally fade away. It will take a few more cycles of low and high tide to completely grow used to this.
Jimin fiddles with a small red tube of paint. ā€œIā€™m a rigid person, I know I am. i donā€™t like change most of the time and I know, I know things shouldnā€™t be so planned, I know thatā€™s not the way things usually go but-ā€ You nuzzle close to Jimin, and his words extinguish into a sigh, his hands coming up to your sides, the same place he always likes to hold, between your shoulder blade and your ribcage.
ā€œBut you need them to be this way sometimes. Planned? so you can make sure everythingā€™s done rightā€ You press.Ā 
He bristles, ā€œIf youā€™re expecting me not to say that I want everything to be perfect when I can make it that way then-ā€
ā€œYouā€™re such a control freak Minnie.ā€ you say it with a smile, playing your fingers through some of the milky pink white, feeling the tackiness between your fingers.
ā€œYou donā€™t hate it?ā€
You shrug. ā€œJinā€™s that way too sometimes. So no, I guess I donā€™t hate it. Maybe itā€™s just because I like- really fucking hate making decisions.ā€
He grimaces, but Jiminā€™s eyes dart from your face down to your crossed legs. settling on something. ā€œDo you care if those clothes get dirty?ā€
ā€œA little- I like these shorts.ā€
ā€œthen you should take them off.ā€ your heart thuds as jimin leans over you, tugging on the strap of your Tanktop with his teeth, lips pressed to the bare skin of your shoulder, dragging them down. He plays at being sexy but decides not to be, settling for leaning his cheek on your shoulder and watching you.Ā 
ā€œI had kind of this stupid idea, if you donā€™t want to do it just say so. This is every shade of pink that we ever painted the house. Taeā€™s favorite color is pink- and the canvas- i thought it might be nice to have like- some art in her library room- thatā€™s what I meant about making it planned.ā€
ā€œAre you saying you want to make sex art or something?ā€ Jimin blushes yet again. You should be keeping track of how many times he has and use them for leverage.Ā 
ā€œYou know gift giving is like, my second love language if that bullshit is to be believed and-ā€
ā€œ-Oh my god you actually do want to make sex art.ā€

Oh my !!!! That's gonna be amazing and im already going kyaa kyaaa waiting for it!! Heheheh šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©· tae deserve be a well publish author šŸ˜­
can we have a little sneak peek of the chapter??
this part might be a little bit too like- esoteric for people? just a little? but it makes me swoon:
Chapter 53 (Sneak Peak):
It's not that Jimin's love language is sex (at least not the way Kookie might consider it his) It's just that there's something about the way he loves that's all-consuming. Perfectionistic almost. Jimin will love them well, and learn how to fuck them well- because he simply won't compromise for anything less.
(Tae would say that there's Something about the way that he loves that's all poetry. Not at all Plath or Service but maybe Wilde if tae is feeling particularly sentimental for the person sheā€™s doing her best to leave behind.
In Tae's words- and she's written books and books of poems about Jimin at this point- Jimin's love is all: let me press my lips to your skin and make every inch known, my lips the pen and your moans the ink, let me show you how good 'good' can feel. Let me do it again and again until bliss feels boring. Let me claim your pleasure as proof of how much I am yours and you are mine, let me make you hope for nights quiet, let me make you scorn the morning.)
But then again, you're the only one who's read Tae's poetry; so really Jimin has no idea.

It's the intimacy, the soft touches touch and "you don't have to reciprocate" for me šŸ˜ŒšŸ˜ŒšŸ¤šŸ¼šŸ¤šŸ¼šŸ¤šŸ¼

Yoongiā€™s not waiting in the house for you when you get back from the gym. Heā€™s not even waiting on the porch. No- heā€™s on the street, eyes frantic and flannel misbuttoned like heā€™s been listening for the grumble screech of Jiminā€™s car. Like he started walking down the street the second he heard it.
He hardly even wants to wait for it to thud to a halt. The smell of metal and gasoline gunks up your stuffy nose, keeping you from scenting him. His hands are so soft on you when he makes to pull you out of the car and Jungkookā€™s lap although the omega clings to you. A half-affronted noise leaves his throat. bereft as youā€™re transferred from one packmate to another.
But Jungkook would never deny Yoongi this.
Your matesā€™ hands shake, trembling when they cup the back of your neck. ā€œOh- my little sweetheart- Iā€™ve got you- Iā€™ve got you-ā€

A/n:Ā Welp, this one is going to be another long one, iā€™m sitting on it, hoping that i wonā€™t decide to split it- but then again I didnā€™t do this with the one two chapters ago and i /heavily/ regretted it, so donā€™t be surprised if I decide to post this as two partsā€¦. hang onā€¦. hmmm. All of this is subject to change!
Previous ChapterĀ - Masterlist
Chapter 52: Sweet lemonade and Sour Chocolate
The basket that Jimin carries is nearly has tall as his torso and twice as wide, packed several feet higher with mismatched blankets and soft things. Filled to the brim and then some with every last nesting blanket that the pack keeps in the hallway closet. He places it on the edge of the bed softly so as to not startle you and then-
Promptly dumps it out on top of you.Ā 
light filters down past cotton and soft down feathers, obscuring jimin and the sound of his voice, muffled by the layers and layers of fabric. ā€œI put the big one in the drier, it should be warm in a few minutes.ā€ Jungkook behind you fidgets happily, the small murphy purr he lets out ascent and praise enough as he begins to fuss.Ā 
Jungkook, Jimin, and Yoongi operate as a perfectly oiled machine. Yoongi goes to get you food and Jimin replaces him. Picking you up by the waist out of the pile. As pitiful as you might be, as pathetic as you might look (sniffling, face all blotchy and hot feeling underneath their touch) You have never been in better hands.Ā 
An alpha, omega, and beta a piece- itā€™s almost as good as your whole pack.Ā 
Jungkook falls into a purring nesting fury as you sniffle. Fluffing the nesting things around you until you resemble some sort of cozy flower.Ā  Each of the blankets a careful petal keeping you safe and snug inside.Ā 
Jimin shucks off his sweatshirt, his arms are warm and fuzzy underneath your nose as he holds himself close but not too close.Ā 
Alphas. Youā€™re sensitive to them- are you not? Can your frissioning brain recognize that Jiminā€™s not a threat? Worry gnaws at his narrow wrists. Nests are meant to be the safest place for omegaā€™s and while this isnā€™t yours and is the place he sleeps in- still-.Ā 
Jimin will understand, if heā€™s not the person you want to comfort you through this.Ā 
Youā€™ve never seen Jimin this timid as he sets one hand on your head, rubbing through, a comforting growl tugging from his Chest- keeping a little bit of a distance between you in case youā€™re not ready for it and-Ā 
And you donā€™t want it. you donā€™t want a single inch between your body and everyone elseā€™s. You want him wrapped around you So hard that you canā€™t tell where your body begins and his ends, you want him to hold you the way that Namjoon holds you sometimes, like heā€™s forgotten his strength, forgotten that you arenā€™t going to try and twist away.
You want him to want to hold you like he needs you, you want him to hold you like you could never do anything wrong. Because you know how far from the truth that is. you always wonder- what particular meltdown you have will be the one that estranges them from you. What request will tip the scale from asking for not enough love to too much.Ā 
Namjoon and Hobi last night is only part of it. Only part what youā€™re guilty for. Jimin is the one person who might share your similar fate. The guilt and the sheer terror that the truth will poison the ones you love. He at least- can understand what this particular kind of regret and fear feels like.Ā 
But Itā€™s okay- itā€™s okay, Jimin probably doesnā€™t want to hug you anyways- you donā€™t want affection if itā€™s forced but-Ā Ā 
You shake, quake beneath his slight touches; first petting down your hair, but theyā€™re tame and delicate, not hard and anchoring like you want them to be. Jiminā€™s shaking too, shaking with the effort itā€™s taking to hold himself back. Jimin has always been able to subvert his needs for his packmates just like you.Ā Ā 
Luckily Jungkook notices the reason for your shaking, youā€™re beginning to keen. Your omega reacting to jiminā€™s presence without your consent. He pokes his head up out of the blanket, glaring at Jimin-
ā€œMinnie- I swear to god if you donā€™t hug her right fucking now-ā€œ
Coming Saturday April 22nd at 5pm EST (Time Zone Adjustments Below)Ā
