Episode 09

The fresh snowfall had transformed the town into a winter wonderland, and the hill at the edge of town was bustling with laughter and chatter. Kids and adults alike zoomed down the slope on sleds, some yelling in excitement and others crashing into fluffy piles of snow.
Jungkook stood at the top of the hill, clutching his sled nervously.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Why did I agree to this again?
he muttered under his breath, his cheeks puffing slightly in a pout.
Beside him, Jimin clapped him on the back.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
Come on, Jungkookie! It’ll be fun. You’ve been working too hard on Christmas decorations; you deserve a break.
Min Yoongi
Min Yoongi
Yeah.
Namjoon added, though he was clutching a sled of his own with a look of mild panic.
Min Yoongi
Min Yoongi
It’s not that scary. Just hold on tight.
Jungkook sighed, his lips forming an adorable pout. He wasn’t sure if it was the sledding or the fact that Taehyung was standing nearby, grinning like he owned the hill, that made him more nervous.
Taehyung, who was busy demonstrating the perfect sledding posture to Hoseok, caught Jungkook’s eye and smirked.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
What’s the matter, bunny? Scared?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I’m not scared!
Jungkook huffed, his pout deepening.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Prove it.
Taehyung challenged, holding out a hand dramatically.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Let’s ride together.
Jungkook blinked, his eyes widening.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Wh-What? No way!
But before Jungkook could protest further, a loud shove came from behind Jimin, of course, and suddenly Jungkook found himself plopping down on a sled. To his horror, Taehyung slid in right behind him, his long arms wrapping securely around Jungkook’s waist.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Hold on tight, bunny.
Taehyung whispered, his voice warm against Jungkook’s ear.
Jungkook’s heart skipped a beat.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Wait, I— 💓
But it was too late. Taehyung pushed off with his foot, and the sled began hurtling down the hill.
The wind whipped against Jungkook’s face, making his cheeks flush pink as he squealed.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Too fast! Taehyung, slow down!
Taehyung, however, was laughing like a kid, leaning slightly to steer the sled around bumps.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Relax, bunny! It’s fun!
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Fun for you!
Jungkook yelped, clutching the edges of the sled for dear life.
The ride became bumpier as they hit a patch of uneven snow, and before they could react, the sled wobbled violently and tipped over.
Jungkook let out a surprised yelp as he tumbled into the snow, only to find himself caught mid-fall. Taehyung’s strong arms had instinctively wrapped around him, pulling him close to shield him from the impact.
When the world stopped spinning, Jungkook realized he was lying sprawled across Taehyung’s chest, their faces mere inches apart.
Time seemed to freeze. Snowflakes landed delicately on Taehyung’s dark hair, and his lips were curved in an amused but soft smile. Jungkook’s cheeks were burning, his breath hitching as he realized how close they were.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Are you okay?
Taehyung asked, his deep voice softer than usual.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I-I’m fine!
Jungkook stammered, his eyes darting away, though he didn’t make any move to get up.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You’re not hurt, are you?
Taehyung’s hand brushed Jungkook’s shoulder, making the omega shiver despite the warmth of the moment.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
N-No.
Jungkook replied, finally pushing himself up onto his elbows.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I’m fine.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You sure? You’re blushing pretty hard.
Taehyung teased, smirking up at him.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I am not! 😳
Jungkook huffed, scrambling to his feet, though his flushed cheeks betrayed him.
Taehyung chuckled as he stood, brushing snow off his sweater.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
If you say so, bunny. 😂
Their friends had seen the whole thing, of course. Jimin and Hoseok were practically rolling in the snow with laughter, while Namjoon and Jin offered polite but knowing smiles.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
You two looked cozy down there.
Jimin teased, wiggling his eyebrows.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
It was an accident!
Jungkook exclaimed, his pout returning in full force.
Jung Hoseok
Jung Hoseok
Sure, sure ...
Hoseok said with a grin.
Jung Hoseok
Jung Hoseok
But the chemistry? Totally not an accident.
Jungkook turned to glare at Taehyung, who was smirking unapologetically.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
This is your fault.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Hey, I caught you, didn’t I?
Taehyung replied, his voice smooth.
Jungkook opened his mouth to retort but found himself at a loss for words. He huffed instead, stomping off toward the top of the hill.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Come on, bunny! Don’t be mad.
Taehyung called after him, clearly enjoying the omega’s flustered state.
Jungkook didn’t respond, though the small smile tugging at his lips betrayed him.
By the end of the day, Jungkook found himself warming up to the alpha a little more. Taehyung wasn’t just charming—he was thoughtful and protective in a way that made Jungkook’s heart flutter, no matter how much he tried to deny it.
As they walked back to town with their friends, Jungkook glanced at Taehyung out of the corner of his eye.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Thank you!
he mumbled, barely loud enough to be heard.
Taehyung slowed his pace to walk beside Jungkook, his smile softening.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
For what?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
For… catching me! 😳
Jungkook said, his cheeks pink.
Taehyung’s grin widened.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Anything, bunny. 💓
And for once, Jungkook didn’t argue.
