Jungkook and Jimin began meeting at the crack of dawn, everyday for the following week. Oftentimes they would lay in a pile of soft blankets and stare out at the last gleams of light shining from the stars. In between they would share sweet touches, and deep kisses that likely led to them making love. They were so lost in each other and they were longing for their bond to be officially sealed. But they had to wait until the courting rituals were reinstated and they went through the process correctly. Jungkook respected that Jimin wanted to follow through with their pack traditions.

After another morning of love making and talking about their future together they headed back to the camp a little later than they intended. The sun was already shining through the cabins, and the chirping of the birds would most probably wake their pack. Like every morning they bid goodbye to each other and Jimin climbed back into his room secretly. However he regretted coming back so late because his two brothers were standing by his door. The two of them had tight lips but their eyes gave away their fuming anger.

"Where were you?" Haneul asks.

"I just went out for a walk."

"Why is your hair wet?" Hyun asks.

"I went to the lake, since I was there I decided to take a swim."

"You're lying." Hyun deadpans.

"You were with that alpha weren't you." Haneul accuses.

"Wait, why are you in my room?" Jimin frowns and crosses his arms over his chest. He had to think of a way to get rid of them, and fast.

"Why were you out?" Hyun glares back.

"I said I was out for a walk."

"You think we don't smell him on you." Haneul sighs as he walks further into Jimin's room, nose sniffing the air.

"Whatever, get out or I'm calling dad."

"And we'll tell father about your ventures out in the morning with an alpha." Hyun threatens back.

"Do you think father will do something if I act like a hurt pup?" Jimin pouts as his eyes begin to water, a technique he perfected since he was a young pup against his brothers.

"You wouldn't pin this on us you little shit." Hyun points his finger in Jimin's direction.

"Father!!!" Jimin cries out loudly enough to wake up their father.

"Shut up!" Haneul rushes forward to cover his mouth but Jimin only cries out louder.

Haneul struggles to stop Jimin from crying out and he curses at Hyun to help him. Hyun however was too busy freaking out because the steps down the hallway were growing louder. And just like that their father walks in on alert mode looking ready to attack anything. His face turns grim when he sees Haneul muffling Jimin's cries and Hyun frozen beside them.

"Daddy!" Jimin cries and goes out to him, tears streaming down his face.

"What's wrong?"

"These two were bullying me and woke me up from my sleep, they said they'll hurt me if I say anything." Jimin juts out his bottom lip, wobbling it to add to his act.

And it seems to work, Namjoon turns to the two alphas in the room who are shaking their heads in denial. Namjoon huffs angrily as he walks over to them and grabs both of them by one ear. The two brothers yelp in pain and hiss when Namjoon presses harder.

"How many times do I need to tell you not to bother your little brother. Aren't you two old enough to keep up these childish acts?"

"Wait...ow dad, we didn't do anything." Hyun protests as he and Haneul are being pulled out of the room.

"Do you want me to call your father?" Namjoon threatens.

"NO!" The two boys say in unison.

"Then go to your rooms and sleep, or think about what you did wrong. " Namjoon finally let go of their ears as soon as they were out of the room.

Jimin watches them with a smirk and sticks out his tongue when his brothers turn towards him. When Namjoon turns back to him he brings out a pout rather quickly, wiping the smirk right off his face.

"Go back to sleep, Jimin" Namjoon tells him as he closes his bedroom door.

It seemed like a close call, knowing well himself he would have cracked under pressure if he had continued to argue with his brothers. But he knew it wouldn't stop them from coming close to the truth. That's why his eyes widen when he hears about his brothers confronting Jungkook later that day. They made sure Jimin was too busy helping Jin pick out herbs before searching for the alpha. They waited at the edge of the camp for Jungkook to return from his chores. The moment they saw the alpha their eyes turned dark and they beelined towards him. Everyone seemed to recognize their steaming stares, moving from their way as they walked.

"You're dead!" Haneul hisses at Jungkook as soon as they are in front of him.

"I'm going to hurt you." Hyun scoffs out in a deadly tone, standing equally tall with his older brother.

"What?" Jungkook's face contours with confusion.

"Do you think we would let you get away with playing with our baby brother?"

"What are you talking about?" Jungkook rolls his eyes as he looks away in annoyance, trying to go back to his chores.

"We know you got him to jump out his window in the dead of morning for who knows what." Hyun takes a dangerous step towards him and Jungkook faces them with an annoyed scowl.

"We'll only warn you one more time, stay away from him. You're not what he needs." Haneul deadpans.

"I can't, I have fallen too deeply for your brother. You two can't stop me, and who are you to decide what he does and doesn't need? Your brother has made a decision, now back off."

Jungkook retreats, not waiting for them to reply. All he could think about was to be more careful in order for Jimin to avoid another situation like this one.
