Namjoon rolled his eyes at the statement "And your pack must be super judgy" he said sarcastically as he sat down at the other side of the table so that he looked like he was also sitting at the head of the table. Yoongi separated their food and started eating while Jimin continued to glare at the bad-mouthed beta. The two of them locked in a glaring contest. "Jimin eat or it will get cold and I'm not buying you more food when you cry," Namjoon said dully as he ate his chicken strips. It was rather awkward for a moment before Yoongi spoke up which surprised him "Do you guys have extra ketchup packets I can have?"

The bratty beta dug around a bit before passing his omega a few. "Thanks" Yoongi replied shyly as he took them. "So I'm Hoseok, that's Seokjin, this is Tae and that's Jungkook we are from Daegu," Hoseok said introducing themselves. "I'm Namjoon, the brat is Jimin and this is Yoongi," he said fluffing up his hair making the poor omega huff. "and we are from pack Busan"

They were thrown back into an awkward silence for a moment or two. "What do you do?" Jin asked the other alpha about his work. Namjoon looked up and made eye contact "I sell sex toys," he said making everyone at the table choke a bit at the blunt honesty. "Damn I thought my job as interesting as a gas station manager," he said embarrassed a bit. Namjoon just smirked a tiny bit taking a small bite of his food "what about you?" He asked Hoseok. "I am a police officer," he said. Neither of their jobs were fancy or brought in much money and their pack kinda hated them, but they were happy.

Namjoon hummed and sipped his soda "do the betas work?" He asked over them. "I don't know why don't you ask them. That's Taehyung and that's Jungkook" he reminded him not liking how Namjoon didn't acknowledge him. Namjoon rolled his eyes looking at Jungkook "do you work?" He asked. He nodded a little bit not looking at him. Namjoon scoffed at the rudeness and looked over to Taehyung "what about you?"

"No," he said softly taking a bite of french fries. Namjoon raised a brow and wondered why one of them worked and the other didn't but didn't question it. "We don't work," Yoongi said to Taehyung and smiled at him. "I get so bored when I'm left all alone at home," he said laughing "what do you guys do for fun?"

"We play games and go on walks. Maybe we can play online games together. Here let's exchange numbers" he said handing Taehyung his phone. After that was settled Jimin huffed and pushed his food back "Joon why are we sitting here with these idiots?" He asked not getting attention from either mate. Namjoon chuckled softly at his puffed cheeks and patted his lap watching the brat walk over and plop into his lap making himself smaller. He smiled as he wrapped an arm around his middle and continued to eat. 

"Do you guys want to go to the bonfire with us tonight?" Taehyung asked ignoring Jungkook's bewildered gasp and Joon found the whole situation amusing because he could clearly see the conflict their home had. "We would love to, right Yoon" the alpha answered looking at the elder omega who nodded his head. "That would be fun because we never have friends over because dummy over here is jealous," he said and nobody was sure if he meant the alpha or the omega. 

Jin stood up after he was finished and began to collect the trash before looking at the other side of the table where their new 'friends' were sitting. He carefully picked up their trash as well and disposed of it appropriately. "Thanks, Jin" Namjoon told him as he stood and stretched knocking Jimin to the side a bit. "Are you guys ready to go find a seat?" he asked as he held Jimin's hand. "Yeah, Jungkook, do you mind running back and getting our blankets?" Hoseok asked handing the beta the keys. Jungkook snatched the keys and gave his alpha a hard glare before stomping away. 

"Maybe I should go with him," Jin said grabbing his phone and getting on his way but Hoseok's hand was placed on his chest "No he is a big boy he can do it himself," Hoseok said softly. Jin leaned closer to Hoseok's ear and whispered so no one else would hear "We both know that if it were Taehyung you wouldn't be saying the same thing" and backed off standing next to Tae who latched onto his arm. "Can we get my blue slushie now?" and Hoseok handed him his card.

Jungkook grumbled all the way to their car. Yes he wanted to be treated like a well-respected alpha sometimes, and yes sometimes he wanted to be treated like an omega, but nobody seemed to know that. He was just a dumb beta. He opened the car door and grabbed their beach bag full of blankets so they wouldn't have to sit on the grass and marched back into the festival. He sure was jealous of watching all of the happy normal couples. Betas normally only mated with betas and Alphas and omegas were the only pure mate-pair. 

When he got back to the table they were all seated at he realized he had been left. "Well fucking great," he said as he started looking for the open field where the bonfire would be at. He wondered through tents and stalls finally stumbling onto the grassy area and spotting his mates on the other side. He began his trek through the masses finally arriving in front of them and dropping the bag before taking a seat on the grass and closing is eyes. He opened them when he felt warm hands cup his cheeks and when he opened his eyes Taehyung was staring down at him. "Thank you Kookie," he said with a smile and pecked his lips. That was right, Jungkook wasn't ever mad at Tae bear, he was mad at himself.
