'I didn't mind me getting hurt... I just needed him safe'

Jungkook's whole being stopped at this one line as he looked at the boy on his lap.... He felt his heart tug as his throat clogged.... His eyes burned as his breathing heaved
I love you Tae His heart screamed....as he took in a shaky breath..

' I-I want to be alone' Jungkook's broken voice was  enough to bring his hyungs back to the reality as Taehyung stared wide eyed at the glistening doe eyes of his Jungkook

' Ko-'

' With Tae' He said cutting off Taehyung

' Here is your food-what's wrong?' Ji Eun who just entered with Jisoo trailing behind her with a tray of food in her hand asked when she sensed the thick tension in the room....

' I'll take them' Hobi came forward as he took the tray and placed it on the table

' Just get some sleep...we will be in our chamber' Namjoon said pulling Ji Eun with him...as the rest of them followed behind

' What went wrong?' Ji Eun asked as soon as they came out of Jungkook's chamber

' Luna.... I'll take my leave now.... Please call me when you need something' Jisoo bowed

' Jisoo...these are my brothers... they are the closest ones of mine...you don't have to be this formal in front of them with me...' Ji Eun said ' anyway you can go now...take care of yourself too'

Jisoo nodded smilingly as she walked away...

' I'll be back' Hobi suddenly declared as he ran off in the same direction Jisoo went

Ji Eun had a mischievous glint in her eyes as she looked at Hobi who was already on his way...

Namjoon, told her what happened inside while she went to prepare the food

' How could you do that?' Jungkook whispered.... ' It was just a matter of some more hours...you could have just waited' His voice rose making the boy on his lap flinch

Taehyung stilled...' Hyung?' he got up from Jungkook's lap as he faced him

' All of them waited right? Why can't you wait then? If Jimin hyung can be away from his mate during his heat why can't you be away from me? Even Jin hyung is still waiting there back at home for his mate! Then why didn't you do the sa-'

' Am not your mate'

Jungkook stilled... he didn't know what to say when the harsh reality came slapping straight at his face....He is not my mate He tried swallowing the lump in his throat which instead felt more suffocating

' It's true that Jiminie hyung sent Yoongi hyung away even in his heat... it's true that Jin hyung is patiently waiting for Namjoonie hyung to return... It's true that both of them waited....but it's also true that they are mates hyung.... No matter how far they are mates can link each other ...they can feel each other's emotions..each other's pain.. they will know if something goes wrong with their love...but I can't'

Jungkook's breath hitched when he heard their love? Did he indirectly called me his love?

Taehyung walked closer cupping the elder's cheeks as he stared into his eyes ' I know you got scared when I told those things...but that is the truth Koo.... I'll go any extend if its for you'

Taehyung leaned in as he continued to loose himself in the galaxy Jungkook's eyes held... ' If it's for you I will Pretend to be happy even when I am sad...' Taehyung whispered...his breath fanning over the other's lips
