Chapter Text
"Park Jimin!! I'm gonna kill you, you fucking asshole."
"I swear I did nothing."
Taehyung wakes up to loud screams and curses of Jeongguk echoing in the apartment and Jimin trying to save himself from the younger's wrath. He listens to them arguing, the aroma of pancakes hitting his nostrils as he sits up on the bed.
A usual morning for the alpha and the two omegas.
The two omegas are always arguing in the morning along with making breakfast and Taehyung particularly enjoys their playful banter. The three of them have been living together for as long as he can remember. Taehyung cannot imagine a life without them and the same goes for the other two. Having grown up in the orphanage together, they have practically been each other's family, always there for each other in hard times.
After being presented, the three of them had moved out and have ever since been living together. Their friends call them 'inseparable assholes' because their wolves literally end up longing and their scents turn sour when one of them is away for a while. Taehyung wants to live with them forever.
A small smile stretches across his face when Jeongguk enters his room with an angry pout. Taehyung coos at him.
"Hyung," Jeongguk whines and falls in the alpha's lap.
Taehyung rubs his back and kisses the omega's hair. "What's wrong, Ggukie?"
The omega looks up at him, his doe eyes innocently looking at the elder and his pout looking so fucking cute, Taehyung wants to kiss it away.
His heart beats erratically at the thought and he berates himself for thinking something like that. They're friends, best friends, a family. Taehyung can't have such thoughts about either Jimin or Jeongguk but his heart always betrays him. Jimin and Jeongguk are everything to him, he can't lose them and for that, if he has to suppress his feelings, he definitely can.
"Jiminie hyung has been stealing my clothes. All my hoodies are missing." Jeongguk whines, his pout growing more and Taehyung has to calm his racing heart down.
"And what's wrong with that?" Taehyung asks, brushing the bangs away that are falling over his eyes.
"I have no clothes to wear to my class. I'm getting late." The omega says and curls himself against Taehyung's body. He's so much bigger than Taehyung, all muscles and shit but the way he makes himself small when it comes to Taehyung is enough to make the alpha's heart flutter.
"I did not steal any clothes. Shut the fuck up, Gguk, and stop lying." Jimin comes in next, falling beside Taehyung on the bed before kissing his forehead.
Jeongguk glares at the elder omega, "yeah? Then explain why your entire fucking room and you yourself smell of me?"
Taehyung has to suppress a whine at the fact that Jimin does smell of Jeongguk, of pine and sea salt and Jeongguk smells like him, of citrus and sandalwood. He feels thousands of butterflies flying around in his stomach as his toes curl.
The alpha purrs. Jeongguk and Jimin whip their head in his direction, eyes wide and cheeks flushed.
Why the fuck does it affect him so fucking much?
Maybe because having another wolf's scent is something very intimate. The one thing which is so romantic that is common between mates, something that holds great importance in a werewolf's life. So, when he finds his scent on Jeongguk and Jeongguk's scent on Jimin, he can't help but find his heart stuttering at the fact. Feels himself wanting more.
"You can't continue to smell like yourself, Tae." Jimin says, pulling Taehyung into his lap and burying his head into Taehyung's neck. Taehyung bites back a moan at the act. He breathes heavily when Jeongguk sits in his lap and hugs him nosing at his scent gland.
Taehyung's stomach flips and his heart leaps up to his throat. His toes are curling and a blush starts to dust the apple of his cheeks.
Jimin and Jeongguk are scenting him. Oh My God!
The alpha screams internally, heart beating rapidly. His stomach is in knots and he feels at the top of the sky. The giddy feeling surrounds him as he whimpers slowly.
"Now, this is good. I like how you smell like us, hyung." The youngest omega says, pressing a lingering kiss over Taehyung's forehead.
Jimin takes a whiff of the air around, closing his eyes. He wraps his arms around Taehyung's waist and pulls him closer, spreading his own legs. "I can stay like this forever."
Taehyung feels complete, at home. He feels at peace around Jimin and Jeongguk. His everything. He doesn't know what's the meaning of scenting each other, doesn't want to dwell much on it. He is happy with what he has, content with his omegas.
He opens his eyes and finds Jeongguk smiling at him. Jimin is hugging him tightly as Jeongguk holds his hand. He has his other hand intertwined with Jimin's. Taehyung smiles wide.
As his eyes fall on Jeongguk's clothes, he comes to a startling realization. His smile disappears and he looks at the youngest inquisitively. "Jimin smelling like you makes sense since he's stealing your clothes."
Jimin pinches his waist at the accusation. "What do you mean? His clothes are so big and comfy, I like them."
Jeongguk chuckles and looks at Taehyung with questioning eyes. Taehyung squints his eyes at him, "but why the fuck are you covered in my scent?"
Jeongguk's expression falters and his smile disappears. He fumbles with his words and before the alpha could say anything else, Jeongguk runs away before shouting, "I'm getting late. Goodbye. Love you, hyungs."
Taehyung's lips stretch in a wide, rectangular smile as he finds his initials on the shirt that Jeongguk is wearing. Jimin laughs like a hyena behind him and hugs him tighter.
Taehyung is home.
♫
Taehyung enters his room after a hectic day at college. His limbs are aching after the continuous long classes. The headache is killing him and all he wants right now is a hot shower and go to sleep cuddling Jimin and Jeongguk.
The alpha trudges towards his wardrobe and as he opens it, Taehyung sighs in exasperation.
His clothes are missing. No shirts or hoodies are there, everything stolen and Taehyung knows it's Jeongguk's doing. He massages his head and sighs.
The alpha, however, does feel an overwhelming sense of pride at the adorableness of the omega. A smile appears on his face and he feels giddy at the prospect of Jeongguk wearing his clothes. He's so delighted at the fact that he starts squealing.
At that moment, an idea comes to his bead and he decides to steal both of their clothes.
The omegas aren't home yet so Taehyung runs to their room. He first goes to open Jimin's wardrobe and finds it filled with Jeongguk's clothes along with Jimin's own. Taehyung also finds his red hoodie that Jeongguk gifted him on his birthday.
Taehyung has a huge grin on his face, eyes shining as he picks some of Jeongguk and Jimin's clothes.
He runs to the other room next, finding Jeongguk's wardrobe filled with his clothes along with Jimin's. He picks up some of the omegas' clothes from there and runs back to his room, dumping them on his bed and laughing to himself.
After a relaxing shower and slipping into Jeongguk's hoodie along with Jimin's sweatpants, Taehyung goes into the kitchen to eat something when he finds Jimin and Jeongguk sprawled out on the sofa which they've turned into a bed.
The alpha squeals to himself as he sees the omegas in each other's clothes, finding it adorable how they've all exchanged clothes and are never wearing their own clothes anymore.
"Hyung…" Jeongguk pouts, wanting Taehyung to come closer.
"Tae, I wanna tell….." Jimin pauses as he takes in Taehyung's appearance. The alpha flushes, his cheeks tinting pink at the intense look of the two omegas.
"You're wearing our clothes?" Jeongguk asks, eyes shining with stars, a blush appearing on his cheeks.
Taehyung nods.
"Fuck." Jimin curses out. "You look so fucking beautiful."
The alpha yelps as he is pulled into the cuddle pile by Jimin. Their limbs are entangled and Jeongguk and Jimin scoots closer into Taehyung's sides. His heart flutters as he's engulfed by the two omegas, their noses buried in the alpha's neck.
Taehyung whimpers.
"I want to stay like this forever." Jeongguk says, pressing a light kiss on Taehyung's neck.
"I like how none of us smell like ourselves anymore." Jimin whispers against Taehyung's skin, sending shivers down his spine.
The alpha's heart is racing in his chest at the close proximity. He feels so happy, so giddy. The thought of the other two having the same kind of feelings is making him contented yet is overwhelming at the same time. He doesn't want to think much and just enjoy the omegas' company.
"I want both of you to know you're very, very important to me and no matter what happens, I don't wanna lose you." Taehyung says, blinking back tears. He's beaming with happiness and yet it's scary.
"Tae, baby." Jimin pulls him closer and kisses his forehead. "We'll stay together, no matter what. You all are important to me, too." He continues to say and presses his lips against Jeongguk's palm.
Jeongguk throws his leg over Taehyung and Jimin both and kisses Taehyung's cheek. "The three of us against the world, hyung. Forever."
"I love you." Taehyung says, overwhelmed with his emotions as a tear rolls down his eye. Jimin and Jeongguk hugs him closer and whispers back
"We love you, too."
And Taehyung can't help but be disappointed at the fact that their 'I love you' is not the same as his.
♫
Taehyung joins his other four friends at the lunch table. His classes are not until evening while Jeongguk and Jimin are busy with their taekwondo and dance class respectively.
Taehyung slams his lunch tray on the table and sinks down in the chair, startling the others. He lets out an exasperated sigh, tired after a long ass lecture of anatomy.
"You look like shit, Tae." Seokjin groans, landing a punch on his shoulder. He's an alpha but nothing like an alpha who's dating another alpha from their friend's circle, Namjoon.
"What else do you expect from a medical student?" Yoongi, the beta, chuckles..
"Are you okay, Taehyung?" Hoseok asks, concerned. The omega is always the thoughtful one in their group, making sure everyone is doing fine.
Namjoon places his hand over his head, ruffling his hair and patting them. The alpha purrs and sinks in. "I told you not to overwork yourself. Please take care of yourself, Tae."
"I'm always joking around but seriously, is everything alright?" Seokjin asks.
"Chill, guys." Taehyung chuckles. "It's nothing. I'm fine, don't worry."
"Where's Jeongguk and Jimin?" Yoongi asks.
"They have their classes. I'm probably gonna head home and rest for a while. I think I'll skip the evening clases." Taehyung groans, stretching his body.
"You're probably close to your rut, Tae!" Seokjin says, his lips stretching into a smirk.
"Nope. I don't think so." Taehyung says, filling his mouth with noodles.
"Yeah, that's a possibility. Your scent is strange, too." Namjoon says, eating his food.
"He's right. You don't smell like yourself." Hoseok says, taking a whiff of the air around.
Taehyung picks his drink, taking a sip as he looks at all of them. "It's not because of my rut. I'm just wearing Jimin and Jeongguk's clothes. It might be the mixture of their scents and mine."
He continues to eat his food as silence ensues on the table. Taehyung pauses eating as he feels four pairs of eyes staring at him.
"What?"
The four of them still continue to stare, their eyes wide. Taehyung feels the heat of their judgemental glares and stops eating. "What's wrong with y'all?"
Yoongi rolls a tissue into a ball and throws it at Taehyung. "And you'll still have the audacity to fucking tell us that y'all are not dating."
The alpha's expressions falter as he starts bouncing his knees. A knot of anxiety tightens in his stomach as he feels scared of his friends knowing about his feelings. He doesn't know how they'll react and that makes his anxiety act up.
"We are not." He replies, trying to stay as calm as he can, shrugging his shoulders.
"You asshole. You don't scent each other when you all are not dating." Seokjin says, pinching his arm.
Namjoon squints his eyes at him, analyzing him, "you do realize scenting is a very intimate thing? You don't do it with your friends or anyone randomly. It has to mean something."
"And sharing clothes? Like, wow. Taehyung, don't tell me you don't have feelings for them." Hoseok says in disbelief.
Taehyung curls into himself, his mind turning foggy and hazy. "We are a family. We grew up together."
"Doesn't mean you can't fall for them." Seokjin says, rubbing his shoulder.
"But…." Taehyung stops. He feels his pulse in his ear, tears pricking his eyes. Casting his head low, he lets his tears fall as he feels a lump forming in his throat. No, not now. He can't cry in front of them. He can't cry because of his feelings.
"Tae, baby, sshhh, it's okay." Namjoon scoots closer to him, hugging him from the side. The worry in his tone is enough to make Taehyung feel miserable.
He never wants to worry his friends, never wants to let them know what he's going through. He's the type to keep his problems to himself and now when he's crying in front of them, they are bound to get concerned. The alpha doesn't want that.
"I'm sorry." He speaks in between tears, biting back a sob that threatens to break out of his mouth.
"No, no. You don't have to apologize for your feelings. It's okay to feel that way." Seokjin says, getting closer. He brushes his fingers through the younger's hair, trying to soothe and comfort him.
"Taehyung-ah, your feelings are valid. You can totally fall for them and that's fine." Hoseok says. His voice is relaxing to Taehyung's ears.
"Yah, Kim Taehyung." Yoongi half yells, trying to lighten the situation. "I'm gonna beat them up if they break your heart. You just have to let me know."
Taehyung chuckles, smiling through his tears. He wipes the tears away and is so, so grateful for the kind of friends he has got. He's always come across good people in his life, be it his friends or Jimin and Jeongguk. It's like the universe has compensated for taking his parents away when he was only a child.
"Thank you, guys." The alpha says, a small smile on his face. "I have never said it out loud, but yes, I love them. I love Jimin and Jeongguk and I don't think I'll ever love anyone like I love them. My life revolves around them, they're my family, my everything. I can't imagine a life without either of them, hyungs. I don't want to lose them." Taehyung pours out his feelings, eyes pooling with tears again yet with a smile.
"Aww, Taehyung-ah!" Hoseok coos, smiling widely at him.
"That's cute and all but tell them. Don't tell us." Seokjin says. Taehyung chuckles at his expressions.
"You are not gonna lose them. Tell them, Tae. I'm so sure they reciprocate your feelings." Namjoon encourages him, patting his cheek.
"I swear to god, they're as whipped as you." Yoongi gags and Taehyung has a hard time believing it.
"You think so? Really?"
"Oh my god, y'all are impossible!" Seokjin sighs loudly, slamming his hands on the table.
"They'll literally go to any lengths just to put a smile on your face, trust me." Hoseok says, laughing.
Taehyung blushes. Feels his heart racing as the mixture of scents hits his nostrils indicating that Jimin and Jeongguk are near. He whips his head around and finds them walking towards their table.
Jimin and Jeongguk kiss his head and pull the chairs to sit beside him. Taehyung's heart quivers at the gesture. His eyes flutter and a pinkish hue dusts his cheeks. The two omegas greet everyone and sits down.
"What's up?" Jeongguk asks, tossing a bunch of fries in his mouth.
"Nothing much. Taehyung feels a bit low, so we were cheering him up." Seokjin says, winking at Taehyung.
"Tae? What happened? Are you okay?" Jimin's concerned voice hits the alpha's ears. He find the elder worried, inching closer to the alpha.
"Hyung? What's wrong? Did something happen? Are you feeling okay?" Jeongguk asks in one breath, checking up on Taehyung.
The two omegas turn towards him, checking his forehead, squishing his cheeks, holding his hands. Taehyung can't help but smile fondly, his eyes filled with unsaid emotions.
He enjoys the attention from the omegas, loves the way they care for him. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"No, shut up. You don't look fine. Let's go home." Jimin says, holding the alpha's hand.
"Trust me, I am fine."
"No. Jimin is right. You've been working so hard, you need a break, hyung." Jeongguk says, holding his other hand. Taehyung smiles at them, looks at the others glaring at them with bored expressions. Taehyung laughs.
"What? Why are you laughing?" Jeongguk asks incredulously.
"Nothing. You're adorable, both of you." Taehyung says, pinching their cheeks.
"Hyung, stop. Let's take you home." Jeongguk pouts, leaning closer to Taehyung. The alpha is so fucking weak for him.
"Tae, please listen to us. We can watch movies and I'll cook for you and we can cuddle and sleep for as long as you want." Jimin says, and the offer sounds so tempting.
The alpha pretends to think and breaks out in a smile. "Okay."
Jimin and Jeongguk clings to him, holding him by the arms as they walk out of the cafeteria. Taehyung beams with happiness, heart filling with a sort of satisfaction at having them close to him.
