"Taehyungie!" Jimin chimes as he trudges towards me while eating an apple.

"Hey," I reply and continue throwing the knives. Jimin eyes me pointedly before elbowing me in the sides.

"You're so moody these days," He complains in a whiny voice, and I roll my eyes at his statement.

"Since I'm turning seventeen soon, I figured that my mate would like me better if he sees me being a mature adult," I retort back, and Jimin rolls his eyes before saying, "It's not being mature, Tae. It's called being moody."

"What about you? I can't believe you're an alpha, you already took over your father's place, shouldn't you be mature now, instead of a whiny baby?" I snort, defending myself. Jimin scoffs.

"I will be mature once I meet my mate. Then we'll do mature things," He says and winks at me. I frown and he wiggles his eyebrows mischievously.

"I don't wanna know about your sexual life," I growl before throwing one of the knives at his apple and he freezes before letting out a giggle.

"Tae, no need to be so sensitive," He laughs as he plucks the knife out of the apple.

"Whatever," I scoff.

"Did Namjoon ask you about the rankings? If he did, was he mad? What did he say?" Jimin bombards me with questions. I walk over to the target to pluck the knives out and Jimin follows me like a lost puppy.

"He got mad, scolded me and sent me to my room. But then after awhile, he came to my room and apologized, saying that it's not my fault that I can't control myself and that's about it. Nothing interesting," I say and Jimin raises his right eyebrow.

"Nothing interesting? That's so unlike Namjoon. I thought he would freak out and start panicking, and probably break something," Jimin shrugs and I chuckle.

"He would, but I guess he was feeling happy yesterday."

"Why was he happy?"

I shush Jimin before he could start rambling, and jog over to where the knives were being kept and dump those that I took for practice.

"Well," I pause and look around us before pulling jimin closer to me and say, "He met his mate."

"He WHAT?" Jimin exclaims excitedly and I huff before shushing him again.

"He found his mate," I mumble as we walk over to the punching bags.

"That's great! Is it from our pack? Is it? Is it?" Jimin rambles on and on, and I had to shut him up by stuffing his mouth with the apple he was eating.

"That's the problem, he's not."

"He? It's a he? Namjoon's gay? And what do you mean problem? What's the problem with having a mate from another pack," Jimin continues rambling after taking the apple out of his mouth and disposing it into one of the dustbins nearby.

"Can you please lower down your volume? You're an alpha now, learn to start being mature," I nag the now pouting Jimin.

"Sorry Taehyungie," Jimin apologies cutely with a puppy face. I gulp at the cute sight before mentally slapping myself for being easy.

"Fine, now go and I train," I say and shoo him off to the furthest punching bag before continuing with my training.

+++

"Stop your training!" Jiyeong orders, and I stop my punching. The class looks at him then at the clock before taking their leave.

"Taehyung!" Jimin screams in a high pitched voice. I groan before turning around to face him.

"Yes?" I say sarcastically with a forced smile. Jimin narrows his eyes and pinches my side, making me yelp in pain.

"Is Namjoon's mate at your house?" He asks excitedly while jumping like a child. I nod and his smile brightens. I shake my head and walk over to the locker room, leaving Jimin alone.

When I walk into the locker room, I scrunch my nose in disgust. The smell of sweat and body odour was strong, and even after years of training, I still wasn't use to the smell. I race over to my locker and quickly strip out of my jumpsuit into a comfortable wear, and when I'm done, I notice someone from Dusk Light Pack staring at me while smirking. I raise my right eyebrow and he walks over.

"Who are you?" I ask in an unfriendly tone. He smiles forcefully and sticks his hand out. I stare at it quizzically before facing him.

"I'm Jeongguk," He introduces and takes my hand and clasps it with his.

"I'm Taehyung," I say and shake his hand before releasing it.

"I'll be seeing you often," He says and winks before walking out of the room.

"What was that all about?" Jimin appears behind me, scaring me.

"Jimin! Don't do that," I scold and he bows his head down like a lost puppy.

"Anyways Taehyung, why were you talking to him?" Jimin asks and I groan.

"I didn't, he came to talk to me. Besides, why are you so curious?" I wince when he pinches my side.

"That, my dear," He points to the locker Jeongguk was leaning on before. "Is Jeon Jeongguk, alpha of Dusk Light Pack."

My eyes widens and he nods.

"So I shook hands with the alpha of Dusk Light Pack?"

"Yeah."

"Oh god, Jimin. You remember the man I was complaining about yesterday? It's him!" I exclaim and he shakes his head.

"You should really be careful, Taehyung."

Is this chapter too boring?

School just started today and I'm already tired of it. I'm at my school's bus stop waiting for the bus rn, and all I wanna do is just go home and snuggle in bed.
