Chapter 4
Jungkook was quietly walking after Taehyung. He wasn't sure where they were headed, but he didn't really question it. One thing that caught Jungkook's attention was that each time, Taehyung walked towards a group of people or animal, they would quietly move aside and make space for him. At first, Jungkook thought it was because Taehyung was considered to be respectable, someone of authority. Because even the alpha lion, Namjoon, remained rather formal in behavior in front of Taehyung. However, once Taehyung could cross those people, Jungkook would hear what they said.
Even with his normal hearing power, Jungkook could hear all those people whispering all kind of things about Taehyung. Mostly of which was horrible. And Taehyung must have enhanced hearing, Jungkook guessed. He would have been able to hear everything thing more clearly.
Jungkook frowned as he continued to hear them bad mouthing Taehyung. He didn't really like Taehyung. But at the same time, he couldn't stand people talking behind someone's back. He stopped walking and glared at all of them.
Most of them quiet down under his glare. But some of them, snickered in return. They took a step forward as if to challenge him. However, for some reason their expression immediately changed from daring to feared. They lowered their head and stepped back. Jungkook turned around with a confused expression. Just in time to see Taehyung turning around. He realized it was because of Taehyung that those people back down.
Jungkook glared at everyone of them once last time before continuing to walk. He had seen the expression on Taehyung's face. Not hurt. It almost seemed like he was used to this. Jungkook wouldn't believe that Taehyung had gotten used to it. More like, he had accepted the fact that this is how it goes.
Jungkook
Why were they all being like that?
Jungkook didn't really expect an answer from Taehyung. And was suprised when he got one.
Taehyung
Because, I'm not the kind of person you should like. Even if just as a human.
Jungkook frowned. Not liking the answer one bit. But he didn't answer any further question. He understood from Taehyung's guarded tone, that it was something he didn't like talking about at all.
Jungkook's attention soon shifted to a wolf pup that stumbled out of the bush.
Jungkook
Is it like one of you or a normal animal?
Jungkook asked, pointing towards the pup that was jumping around, chasing after its own tail.
Taehyung stared at the pup for a while before answering,
Taehyung
Normal. Probably playing around. Let it be. The mother wolf might be nearby.
Jungkook mumbled, pouting at Taehyung.
The white-haired narrowed it eyes at Jungkook before replying,
Jungkook cheered and quickly rushed to the pup. The little thing looked at Jungkook with confused eyes. He smiled softly, slowly crouching down. The pup continued to stare at him for a while. Then it started to swish it's tail excitedly. Jungkook took it as a sign to pet it. The pup wagged it's tail more excitedly when petted its head.
The wolf pup was so small and fluffly, Jungkook couldn't help but coo. Soon, he found himself talking to the pup, muttering compliments or random questions. The pup would bark everytime as if answering to Jungkook.
After a while, Jungkook stood up and waved at the pup. It wagged it's tail once again before running away. When he turned to Taehyung, he caught the white-haired male changing his expression. Jungkook wasn't sure what expression there was first. He pouted at the other, however Taehyung rolled his eyes and turned around.
Soon, they reached a stream. The first thing that caught Jungkook's attention was a cat. Or something that looked like a cat.
Jungkook
Taehyung, what's that?
Jungkook asked, tugging onto Taehyung's hoodie.
He ignored the way Taehyung looked down at his hand and looked up at his face. Jungkook never had a problem with getting along new people. Unless those people were trying to kill Jungkook. In this case, Taehyung was both. But Jungkook didn't really care. He wanted the cat in his arms.
Taehyung
It's a wild baby bobcat.
Jungkook nodded. He understood Taehyung used the word wild to tell that it wasn't one of them. A spirit animal. Just a plain, bobcat kitten. Jungkook crouched down and tried calling for the cat. However, the kitten turned around and paid no attention to Jungkook.
He slumped his shoulders when the kitten walked away from him and hid inside a bush. His eyes flickered to Taehyung and grin flashed on his face. He looked at the elder with the best puppy eyes he could muster. He knew he looking at the same man who was threatening to kill him a few minutes ago. But he didn't really care at the moment.
Taehyung
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
Taehyung asked, frowning a little.
Jungkook didn't reply anything and continued staring at Taehyung. The white-haired soon understoond what Jungkook wanted and he frowned even more.
Taehyung
Just because tigers are from the felidae family doesn't mean I can- Okay fine! Stop looking at me like that
Taehyung snapped. He glared at Jungkook before turning to where the kitten was hiding.
He sighed, and walked towards it.
Taehyung muttered standing in front of the bush.
Jungkook heard the cat hiss at Taehyung. He couldn't help but giggle hearing the kitten threatening Taehyung.
Taehyung
It doesn't want to come to me
Taehyung stated, pointing accusingly at the kitten.
Jungkook
You're not even trying Taehyung
Jungkook complained. Again looking at the other with pleading eyes.
The white-haired male sighed and crouched down. Jungkook had to listen closely before he could heard soft purring sounds coming from Taehyung. Seconds later the kitten walked down out of the bush and started rubbing itself against Taehyung.
Jungkook could see that Taehyung seemed hesitant when the kitten was so close to him. It made him a little sad knowing that Taehyung wasn't was used to someone treating him like that. Jungkook had no idea why the white-haired was treated as such. But he knew it was for long enough for Taehyung to get used it.
Taehyung
It-It doesn't want to go
Taehyung said, looking up at Jungkook.
The white-haired male, was trying to push away the kitten. But each time, the kitten meowed and came back to Taehyung.
Jungkook stated. Not liking how Taehyung looked absolutely shocked hearing that. He stared at him as if making sure he heard it right. He picked up the kitten and walked towards Jungkook.
Jungkook happily took the kitten in his hand and started playing with it. He continued playing with the kitten while Taehyung stayed near on guard. Soon, Jungkook heard Taehyung growl lowly towards the trees behind them.
Taehyung's eyes glowed green. His canines growing as he growled again. Jungkook jolted backwards when Taehyung jumped, transforming into a tiger in the few seconds. The other scurried away when the tiger attacked a leopard. Dragging it down from the lower branches of the tree right behind Jungkook.
Taehyung
What the hell Yoongi?
Taehyung grumbled, letting the leopard go and transforming back into his human form. He fixed his hoodie as he walked away.
The leopard slowly turned into a human as well. This man was taller than Taehyung. More well built but had a face of a kid.
Taehyung frowned and turned towards Jungkook. He let out an exasperated sigh as he looked atlimin. And Jungkook wasn't sure what he did that made Taehyung so annoyed. The white-haired man walked up to him. Without saying anything, he hooked his hands under Jungkook's arm and pulled him a couple feets to the side.
Yoongi smiled happily. It remided Jungkook of a cat. He couldn't help but smile back as well.
Yoongi asked, skipping towards the stream and sitting down. However, Jungkook saw the way, even he maintained a distance from Taehyung.
Taehyung
Jeon Jungkook. He's new here
