"Taehyung, are you done? We're going to be late for school!" Namjoon shouts from the kitchen. I quickly button up my shirt and rush to the front door with my shirt tucked out.

"Tuck in your school uniform!" Namjoon orders. I grumble before tucking it in unwillingly.

"Here's your school bag." Namjoon passes me my school bag and goes to open the gate.

"Hurry, Taehyung. We're already late," Namjoon rushes me and I snatch my shoe off the shoe rack hastily.

"Let's go!" I tell him and we sprint down the stairs and bus stop.

+++

"I am never going to play Overwatch with you, again," Namjoon snaps when we alight at the bus stop in front of school. Our hair were wet after running in the rain without an umbrella.

"You made us wet!"

"Not my fault someone woke up late."

I scoff before arguing back. "At least if I were you, I wouldn't forget my umbrella."

Namjoon rolls his eyes and asks me for a tissue.

"Why do you need it?"

"So I can dry myself," Namjoon scowls and I fumble in my bag, looking for the packet of tissue I bring around with me.

"I can't find it!" I exclaim as I start searching my bag frantically.

"Just forget it, let's go." Namjoon rushes me and grabs my wrist, dragging me to the school hall where assembly was held.

"Excuse me, sorry," We say and push past the crowd lining up to get to class. We were already late and I didn't want to miss any of my classes. I watch Namjoon leave for his own class and I start to look for Jimin.

"Taehyung!" Says a voice and I turn around only to find a short Jimin waving at me. With light footsteps, I dash towards him.

"You're all . . . wet." He cringes. Jimin hands me a piece of tissue and I thank him. "Not my fault Namjoon didn't bring our umbrellas."

Jimin turns to look at the clock before saying, "Both of you came late. I'm pretty sure that's because of you."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I shrug him off.

"What were you up doing last night? Overwatch?"

"No . . . yes?"

Jimin scoffs before dragging me to class.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"To class, duh," Jimin retorts back and I let him drag me.

+++

"So, tell me more about your mate," I say and Jimin's eyes darts around the classroom uncomfortably, avoiding my burning gaze.

"Um . . . whose mate?"

"Your mate," I say with a smirk. Jimin gulps. "He's beautiful."

"Is he good in bed?"

"I don't know . . . wait, what?"

"You've haven't done the mating process with him yet?" I ask astonished, Jimin shakes his head and I gasp.

"Wow, that's new, you're so soft and patient with him. I mean, it's not an everyday thing when Jimin can actually control his hormones."

"Oh shut up and pay attention to what the teacher is saying." Jimin slaps my shoulder and continues taking down notes for our History class.

"Hey." I poke Jimin's arm.

"What?" He responds.

"What is it that you can pay the teacher even if you're broke?"

"I don't know. What is it? Is it love?"

"No . . ." I trail off and Jimin stares at me quizzically.

"You can pay attention," I reveal and start to crack up my own joke and Jimin only stares at me.

"I'm cringing,"

"Shut up, I know you-" I get cut off by my History teacher's scream. "Kim Taehyung! Park Jimin! Stop talking and pay attention to what I'm explaining about. If you want to talk, please wait until your break."

"Yes, Ms Lee." Jimin and I chorus. He shoots me a funny glare before going back to taking down notes.

"Jimin is so boring today," My wolf says.

"Yeah, ever since he found his mate, he's been acting mature. Not that I'm complaining though, he's finally acting like an alpha."

+++

"Class, you're dismissed for today," Our math teachers says and we greet her goodbye before leaving.

"Are you going for training today?" Jimin asks and I nod.

"Yeah, I'm still a little sore after yesterday. Especially after Hyungsik threw me onto the ground," I explain as I put my books into my locker.

"Wait, isn't that Jeon Jeongguk?" Jimin points out and I pinch him before turning around to face the direction Jimin pointed. My breath hitches when I see Jeongguk. Clinging on to his biceps is the girl that fought with me in my pack house last week, and I badly wanted to rip her off him.

"Who's that?" Jimin asks, pointing at the girl beside Jeongguk.

"That's his girlfriend, apparently. Her name is Eunri or something," I reply, my voice dripping with venom and jealousy. I could feel my heart picking up speed as Jeongguk and his pack friends walk over to Jimin and me.

"Hey." A voice startles me and I get snap out of my daydream.

"Oh, you," I reply with a monotone voice.

"Yeah, me." His lips moves, and I find myself staring at them.

"Taehyung! Mate! Loyal! Must be loyal!" My wolf screams, reminding me about the promise to stay loyal to my mate. I shake my head to clear my mind before saying, "What do you want?"

Jeongguk unwinds his arms from Eunri's and raises it in the air, as though showing he meant no harm before saying, "Hey calm down, I just want to thank Jimin and you for saving my cousin last week."

My right eyebrow arches, and I smile to myself when I see Eunri's hands by her side instead of being intertwined with Jeongguk's.

"He's my mate after all, it'll be so wrong if we didn't save him," Jimin says and Jeongguk nods.

"Are you going for training today?" Jeongguk asks me. I look at him dazed, and take a moment to comprehend what he just said. I nod tiredly. "Yeah."

"Great, I'll see you soon, Taehyung," He replies and walks off, his girlfriend trailing behind him.

"What was that, Taehyung?" Jimin asks and screams into my ear. I cringe.

"What was what?" I ask dumbfounded.

"Jeongguk and you, what's going on between the both of you?" Jimin accusingly waves a finger in front of my face, and I scoff at his childishness.

"Nothing."

"Are you sure? He said bye to you but not to me though," Jimin complains, so I laugh before slapping his left arm lightly. "Stop being a wussy."

"I'm not!" He screams and pouts. I roll my eyes at how immature he was acting before pulling his arm.

"Yes you are, now stop being one or we're going to be late for training."
