icy water seeped into the fabric of his clothes making it stick uncomfortably onto his torso as hoseok hauled the omega out of the bathtub, his both hands lifting jimin up in bridal style.

the omega whimpered, blue lips quivering as he sucked in harsh breaths; hoseok was relieved that the other was still atleast consious.

"--the heck were you thinking?" the alphas voice was still angry as he grunted and took steps outside the bathroom leaving trails of water on the floor as he entered the bedroom.

jimin was concerningly shivering in his hold, low whines and whimpers leaving his throat, eyes still screwed shut.

once hoseok safely deposited jimin in the mess of a bed, he went to take a large towel off the adjacent rack, still cursing under his breath as he swipped away the wetness off the omegas face- "you're fucking crazy-" he growled through his attempt to dry the orange mop of wet hair.

"we didn't save your ass for you to freeze yourself to death in a bathtub" hoseok rumbled.

jimin was only dressed in an undershirt and shorts, his limbs were pruned from having spend hours in the cold water and his body was miserably aching. the present felt too hazy for him to understand, nevertheless he sighed when hoseoks warm hand came in contact with his skin.

the alpha had irritatedly grumbled when he saw that now the entire bed was drenched in water.

he wished yoongi was here, at the same time he cant let jimin die of hypothermia even if a sadistic part of him was telling him to do just that.

so hoseok threw the large towel around the omega, then peeling away the others drenched sweatshirt, before again bundling jimin up in his arms and climbed up the stairs to the master bedroom.

hoseok heaved as he took the second flight of stairs, having being still tired from the long day and cursed away profanities when oreo ran between his legs- the cat being woken up by the commotions.

after putting jimin down on the bed, which was a mingled scent of both hoseok and yoongi, the alpha stood helpless for a moment, completely lost at what to do.

the next best thing he could think was to haul out the large stack of yoongi's blankets from the cupboard and draped it over the omega, until jimin was a burrito with just his head sticking out.

in his panic, he forgot about all the fight that had happened and send yoongi a string of messages asking the other to get back home quickly.

the alpha then changed his clothes, then walked back and forth by the foot of bed, occasionally taking glance at jimin to make sure the other is stable.

at one point a strained "w-water" ironically fell from the omegas lips and the alpha frantically ran to the kitchen, slightly boiling the water lukewarm before coming back and helping jimin in drinking it.

jimin was lightly hiccuping as he drank it, his body subconsciously angling towards the alphas heightened body warmth and soon the omega was cuddling upto hoseoks chest whilst letting out relieved sighs.

hoseok sat frozen, heart doing somersaults as wide eyes gazed down on the omega curled up onto him.

jimin looked so fragile.

and just like that he felt all the anger dissipating off of him.

seoul night air was still cool despite it being early dawn.

taehyung was dozzing off next to jungkook with his head pressed against the cool glass window, his mouth slightly agape and arms hugging himself.

sweet floral omega scents were filling up the car, and eventhough it was an eventful day, jungkook felt calm and his wolf felt at rest.

exhaustion was seeping into his limbs, but jungkook doesn't think he can get any sleep today for he has to settle the things with the party and moreover has to find the person who put a target on taehyung.

so the alpha suppressed the yawn that threatened to leave his mouth, adjusted his posture before again taking a glance at the omega beside him.

soon the car was driving into the driveway of the jeon mansion, the guard outside quickly coming by his side to open the door for him.

but taehyung was still soundly asleep.

jungkook got out of the car, then walked to the other side to hastily open taehyungs side of the door. the omega startled awake at that, tired eyes blinking rapidly.

"i dont have all day" jungkook gritted out and the omega got off the car over a long yawn.

jungkooks steps were quick as the alpha strided in front and taehyung shuffled behind, already dreaming of burying himself into the nest. the day had really tired him out.

walking with still his eyes half closed, taehyung missed a step, his hurt foot bending as he swayed over an yelp,

screwing his eyes shut, he waited for the impact but what he felt was a hand around his waist.

"fucking clumsy- cant do anything right, dont you?" taehyung distantly heard jungkooks frustrated voice close to his ear as the alpha guided him to stand straight again.

taehyung didn't even have the energy to retort or the least even feel angry.

the hand by his waist didn't move away after that, even as they walked into the mansion and got into the elevator.

and by the time the elevator door opened at their floor, the omega was fully leaning onto jungkook, only reaching to the bedroom guided by the hand on him.

just at the sight of the bed taehyung had toppled onto it, letting out a content sigh as he smothered himself onto the nest.

but he was damn frustrated because the clothes on him was too uncomfortable.

taehyung, more like his omega let out frustrated puffs of air as he awkwardly bend his arm to get the corset to loosen up a bit. he pulled at the string at the back but it was stubbornly not coming off.

he was about to let out a tired whimper but then he felt another hand closer to his own.

"you really can't do nothing" he heard jungkooks voice, but this time it wasn't angered.

soon the corset came undone and taehyung was quick to threw it away. he now let out a relieved sigh now that he got rid of the restrictions.

he was quick to wiggle and burrow further into the nest of fabric and then peacefully dozzed off.

jungkook watched all the antics with an unfazed face, then taking off his own coat, before freeing the top shirt buttons.

the alpha then took his side of the bed; taking out the laptop to go over the meetings he have in the morning, whilst typing away messages on his phone to hoseok regarding the mishaps at the party.

amidst all this, taehyung at some time turned to the other side in his sleep, grumbling something incoherent and eyebrows drawn together as he clutched tightly onto the pillow by his side.

now that his attention was again on the omega, jungkooks eyes trailed through the others form.

the omega was still in his mesh top and shorts, still sporting all the marks jungkook left on the others neck, but the alphas eyes were instead curiously on the others tummy.

taehyung isnt the least bit showing, but jungkooks alpha was always curious of it; at times wanting to touch the stomach or the waist, as if indirectly wanting to make sure the pup is alright.

all of it was agitating jungkook.

because those are unwanted emotions. and jungkook was taught to never have them.

emotions.

was that what he was feeling when he gaze at the dark healing wound on the omegas hip where he had kicked him?

regret? guilt?

no, that can't be it.

he isn't supposed to feel those, not even his alpha. jungkook is always in control.

so he shakes his head and goes back to his work, keeping all those unnecessary thoughts away.
