YEARS LATER

A long time had passed since Taehyung and Jimin made up and their lives had been nothing but blissful and peaceful. Maya was already in college while fifteen years old Taemin was still with his parents. The boy couldn't wait to leave for college just like Maya because he was so done with his little siblings. They were bugs if you asked him and his Mama always wanted him to babysit them. He didn't like that one bit.

Jimin had birthed four more pups in the last eight years and it was driving Taemin crazy because he had no choice but to help his Mama take care of the pups while Taehyung went to work. Taemin had presented as an Omega and Jimin was happy about it because he really needed a hand with the pups. But recently, Taemin may be seeing someone and he had become a little distracted. Sometimes he'd be on his phone and the pups would mess up the house. Jimin scolded him several times about neglecting his siblings but no one can stop a teenager in love these days.

"Taemin could you drop that piece of garbage and help me feed Bora?" Jimin yelled angrily from upstairs. He was exhausted from getting Yunseok and Mira ready for school in the morning.

Bora was four years old and the second to the last pup. She was a tough one to handle but at that moment, Jimin was breastfeeding his last pup who was just four months old.

Taemin was smiling at his phone while texting the Alpha who had been trying to court him. Taemin heard what Jimin said but it entered one ear and flew out the other ear. The young Omega continued texting not noticing when Bora waddled to the kitchen to help herself. Don't blame her, she was hungry.

Bora climbed the kitchen stool but she was just a pup and her brain couldn't process that she'd fall if she was not balanced on the stool. Unfortunately, she wanted to climb on to the countertop from the stool but her little feet slid off the stool and she fell face down on the floor.

A loud thud followed by the wails of the two year old had Jimin springing out of his room. He didn't even bother to cover up his leaking nipple as the cry of his pup had his heart pounding.

Taemin quickly put his phone in his pocket and ran to his sister. His eyes widened when he saw blood dripping down her bottom lip. His Mama would kill him, he was sure about that.

Jimin ran down the stairs and his eyes immediately landed on Taemin and Bora. The older omega glared at his son before rushing to the wounded pup who made grabby hands at him.

"Ma...maaaa". Bora squealed sadly. The pain seemed to have gotten ten times worse the moment she saw Jimin, wanting him to pet her.

"It's okay my love. Mama will make it better my puppy". Jimin carried the little girl to the tap to wash off the blood.

Taemin stood in the spot, biting his lips. He was scared as fuck and the more Bora cried, the more Taemin wanted to shit his pants because he was in deep trouble.

"Mama...it was a mistake". Taemin was shaking as he followed Jimin upstairs.

"Go back to your phone Taemin. Thanks for looking after your sister". Jimin said calmly, all his attention on Bora who had started dozing off in his arms.

"Ma..."

"Why are you not in school today by the way?" Jimin suddenly asked because Taemin was literally of no use to him if he couldn't help with the pups when he had no classes.

"Daddy said your back was aching badly and I should skip school today to he... help with Bora and Byul". Taemin said with his eyes fixed to the floor in embarrassment.

"Ok".

"Ma..."

"Get out of my room Taemin".

"I'm sorry..."

"Leave my room now". Jimin said calmly. He was tired and not in the mood to scold his reckless son but if Taemin tried to make him talk too much, he was ready to pounce on him.

Taemin was about to leave but his phone started ringing and he tried going outside to answer the call but Jimin stopped him.

"Who is that?" The older omega asked.

"M...my classmate". Taemin lied.

The caller was the same Alpha who he'd been texting for months. The said Alpha was a year younger than Taemin and not even in school at all. Worst of all, the Alpha was a rogue. Not the bad kind of rogue, at least he was raised by someone.

"Let me have that phone". Jimin demanded and stretched out his hand to take the phone.

"Ma...ma it's just my cla..."

"Hand over the phone Kim Taemin". Jimin leaned forward and grabbed the phone instead.

"Hi my love". The boy said on the other line. His voice was quite deep and Jimin already sensed he was an Alpha.

"And who are you young man?" Jimin asked, voice coming out harsh and threatening.

"Oh dang it". The boy gasped and quickly ended the call.

Sweat was dropping from Taemin's forehead and he didn't have the guts to look at his Mama. Jimin put down the sleeping pup on the bed and looked over at the crib to check on the youngest pup. They were both sleeping so he stoop up and went straight to drag Taemin downstairs.

"Mama I promise it's not what you're thinking". Taemin whispered.

"Who was that?" Jimin asked, nose flaring up angrily.

"No one Mama". The younger Omega was shaking.

"First you almost killed your sister because of who knows what. You don't help me in the house anymore, you don't listen to me anymore and you've gone against me and your dad to have a boyfriend right?" Jimin was losing it.

"Mama let me explain..."

"Don't tell me any stupid story right now. You are grounded and you can't use a phone anymore". Jimin stated.

"But ma..."

"To your room now Taemin!" Jimin commanded, pointing towards Taemin's room.

"No!" The teenager suddenly blurted. Glaring back at his Mama as if challenging him.

"What was that?" Jimin asked in surprise.

"I won't do every single thing you say all the time. I'm done being the maid here. I don't even have time to have fun or hang with my friends because you keep birthing pups and I have to take care of them. That's not my responsibility Mama. I am your child not your assistant. Ever since you had Mira, Yunseok, Bora and Byul, you forgot that I need love too. Daddy is never home to spend time with us and you think I am happy? Jungkook makes me happy and I don't mind being a rogue if that means I don't have to be in this shitty family anymore!" Taemin yelled out his frustration in one go and honestly, it felt so relieving.

Jimin was dumbfounded and he could only stare at his son. He was shocked, confused, conflicted. But he'd always been a good Mama. He gave all his kids equal attention. What the hell was Taemin blabbing about? Was someone brainwashing him? Who the heck was Jungkook?

"If Jungkook or whoever is more important than your family, then go to him and let him raise you". Jimin barked. He wasn't going to be all pitiful and soft over Taemin's teenage bullshit.

"Good cause that's what I want!" Taemin walked out and slammed the door.

"Get back here Kim Taemin!" Jimin called out. He couldn't believe his eyes. Who made his soft innocent Taemin like that?

.....

It was night and Taehyung would be home soon from work. Taemin was still outside and Jimin was going crazy. What was he going to tell his mate?

Mira and Yunseok had returned from school since afternoon and they had slept off almost immediately after eating and bathing. In fact all the pups had slept but Jimin couldn't blink. He paced back and forth waiting for Taemin to return.

Few minutes past nine and Taehyung returned. The Alpha had missed his mate so much and while at work, he was only thinking of getting home to the warm embrace of his beautiful Omega.

"Baby". Taehyung hugged Jimin from behind, his face deep in the neck of the Omega.

"Tae something is wrong". Jimin panicked as he shrugged off Taehyung's face from his neck.

"What's wrong baby?" The Alpha frowned. Immediately getting worried over Jimin's countenance.

"Taemin...he left".
