"Tae, why should you talk to him!? After what he did?!"

"Fuck off Mochi. Just let them talk."

"You fuck off Shubi!"

He glared at his mate then looked back at his brother while grabbing his brother's shoulders tightly.

"I...uhmm...Jiminie, I just feel like we need to talk. So....please?"

Jimin removed his hands from Taehyung's shoulders and released a deep sigh of defeat.

Taehyung, Jimin and Yoongi went to the mansion after the long debate on whether Taehyung should go and talk to Jungkook, but Taehyung insisted and Yoongi supported the idea so Jimin can't do anything but let him.

They got into the mansion and saw Hoseok who immediately embraced Taehyung.

"Uhmmm..Hobi hyung..you're going to break my bones."

Hoseok released the hug and smiled brightly at Taehyung.

"Hahah..sorry! I was just really worried about our Taetae..so? Wanna talk to him?"

Taehyung nods and smiled softly at him. Hoseok's sharpness never failed to amuse him. He already knows before Taehyung could even tell him.

"Hobi hyung...sorry and thank you."

Taehyung softly said.

"Mmm..(nod)..now go. He's in his room." Hoseok smiled watching Taehyung ran upstairs.

Taehyung was infront of Jungkook's room.

"This is it Tae. You can do this."

He mumbled to himself, gathering all the courage he could as he raised his hand and softly knocked on Jungkook's door.

He cleared his throat.

"J-Jungkook? I-it's m-" He was cut off when the door was vigorously opened and to his surprise, Jungkook pulled him into a tight hug.

It was just three days but Taehyung felt like they haven't seen each other for years.

His voice didn't come out, he couldn't form any sound and his words got stucked in his throat.

His mind went blank. He became unaware of everything except Jungkook.

He missed Jungkook. He was longing for his mate. His touch, his body, his warmth, his scent. Taehyung was filled with those thoughts as he buried his face on the crook of Jungkook's neck. He slowly raised his hands and hugged Jungkook back.

They stayed like that for awhile until Jungkook broke the hug and looked at Taehyung.

His face was full of regret and frustration. It was a sight that Taehyung never expected. He thought Jungkook was just a cold hearted bastard that doesn't give a fuck at all but the man in front of him was covered with an apologetic expression.

"T-Taehyung..I-I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." He said with his hoarsed voice while he gently rubs Taehyungs cheek with his thumb.

Taehyung looked at him and smiled.

"It's okay Jungkook."

They smiled at each other. Those few lines and little gestures were enough to feel the sincerety and the desire to be forgiven and to forgive.

They looked at each other in the eyes while their face grew closer. Inch by inch..slowly..getting closer.

Taehyung's heart stopped at the tension. He closed his eyes. He didn't even know if he was shaking because of nervousness or excitement.

"Ahem..ahem!"

The two looked at the sound and saw a pissed Jimin with Yoongi at his back.

"I thought you're going to talk? Not kiss?" Jimin exclaimed, raising his eyebrow and crossing his arms.

"Tsk! You're such a cockblocker Mochi." Yoongi rolled his eyes.

"...and you two. Next time, go inside the bed room first. Don't just do it at the doorway." Yoongi continued and walked away dragging the cursing and protesting Jimin.

Taehyung blushed and looked down but he swore he heard a short chuckle from his mate.

~•~•~••~•~•~

Everything went back to the way it is. Namjoon didn't found out about the incident and he seemed really busy. IU was also with Namjoon for some reasons regarding the pack so she also didn't know what had happened.

But...what really matters now is Jungkook's upcoming birthday. The whole gang were at the canteen. They were all planning about the party, courtesy of their Alpha, Namjoon. They wanted to invite the whole pack and probably some human friends.

Jimin was still not fond of Jungkook but he likes parties so he just thought of 'birthday party' pushing aside the 'Jungkook' part.

Everyone are probably excited well.....except for Taehyung. He was restless. The 'what ifs' are clouding his mind.

"Taetae? You okay?" Hoseok looked at the worried Taehyung.

He was a little bit startled but looked at Hoseok and gave a weak smile and softly replied, "Y-yes hyung. I'm okay."

~•~•~•time skip•~•~•~

It's their music class which Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook share.

It was their free time and Jungkook was called by their music teacher to help him carry some stuffs to his office.

"Jiminie? Can I go somewhere?"

"Tae...-

"Please?? Please?? Promise it won't take long!! Please?? I'll be safe!! I swear!"

Although all of Jimin wants to say no, he couldn't. Not with those doe eyes pleading cutely.

"Tsk..Fine!"

Taehyung celebrated and went ahead. He didn't go to his favorite spot because it's a little bit far from Jimin so he went to the theater.

"Good thing they haven't removed this yet." He mumbled to himself while sitting in front of the piano.

He started playing the piano and sang with it. He played his favorite composed song. It made him feel relaxed and all his worries and doubt were washed away by every note, every key he pressed and by every lyrics he sang.

He finished the song and opened his eyes, releasing a deep sigh.

"You're amazing."

Taehyung was startled and immediately looked where the voice came from and saw Jungkook walking towards him at the middle isle.

"Uh..uhmm..t-thanks." He blushed and looked back at the piano.

"What's that song?" Jungkook asked and leaned on the piano.

"4 o'clock. Uh...uhmm..I-I composed it with someone when I was young."

Taehyung softly replied and a sweet smile appeared on his face, remembering that 'someone'.

Jungkook went closer and sat next to Taehyung. He leaned closer, "Who?"

Taehyung felt his face heat up because of his mate being too close to him. Even though they were sleeping next to each other every night, he still couldn't get use to it.

"Uh..uhmm..To be honest, I don't really remember him that much. I've never even asked his name and I think I never told him mine either. I also forgot what he looks like. All I remember was that I know that he's kind and I wanted to actually thank him. He doesn't know how this song always saves me and how I could feel happy and relaxed with just the thought of him."

Jungkook had a wide smile when suddenly, Taehyung turned his head to him. The younger was startled by the older's sudden action.

"Y-you..you were also from the mother pack right Jungkook?"

"Y-yeah. Why?"

"M-maybe you knew him!"

"Maybe..but even if I did, you wouldn't know right? You have no memory of him except for the song."

"Oh..you're right." Taehyung pouted but an idea popped up in his mind. Remembering Yoongi's story about Jungkook's probably first love at the mother pack, he thought that this is the chance to ask Jungkook.

"Jungkook..uhmm..Yoongi kinda told me the story of you and the girl you met at the mother pack."

"And?"

"Do....you....l-like that girl?"

Silence.....awkward silence.....

Taehyung face palmed himself and looked down feeling so stupid.

"Uhh...uhmm..I-I'm sorry for asking hehe i-it's just that I was wondering since you're going to probably meet your mate on your birthday next week. Wh-what if uhmm you met her again..wi-will you r-r-reject your mate?" Taehyung stuttered while he laughed in nervousness.

Jungkook sighed and looked at the piano keys.

"I.....I looked for her ever since she left. I was confused but I gave in to my feelings, I really do love her."

Taehyung felt a sharp pain on his chest and tears were threatening to fall any second.

"Th-then y-you will..-"

"Actually......I already found her."

Taehyung's eyes widen in shock. His heart stopped at Jungkook's words. He felt heavy. He bit his lips trying to surpress his whimper. He balled his fists trying to hide the fact that he's shaking.

He deeply inhaled and exhaled and without looking at Jungkook he asked,

"Then....will....you....r-reject...y-your m-mate f-for her?" He struggled to voice out his thoughts. Finally, his worries, his 'what ifs' will be answered.

"Yes. I will reject my mate."

Then and there, Taehyung's heart was broken.

Will

I

Be

Able

To

Accept

His

Rejection?
