Chapter Text

You're alive," Jaebum exclaims as Jungkook walks into their home, pulling the young omega into his arms for a quick hug. Jungkook rolls his eyes fondly, smiling nonetheless as they continue to tease him.

Jungkook had an hour-long scolding just moments before by Jackson and Jinyoung, the older men worried about his safety once Jungkook told them what happened the previous night.

" I swear, I'm going to get one of those child leashes if you keep getting into trouble," Yugyeom joked, ruffling Jungkook's hair after he finished his story.

Jungkook didn't tell them exactly what happened, leaving out rather important details about how he was pinned against a brick wall and scented unwillingly. All they needed to know was that a man harrassed him, but somebody came to his aid and helped him before anything serious happened.

That didn't stop his overprotective friends from worrying. They asked for his hyungs' numbers for future reference in case anything like this happened again. Yugyeom wouldn't leave Jungkook's side for a moment unless his pack members distracted him, but even then their efforts to comfort their youngest were rather pointless. After Jaebum released Jungkook, Yugyeom was there to take his place, wrapping his arms around the older boy. "I'm fine, Yugyeom. You don't have to coddle me."

Yugyeom huffed, pressing a kiss against Jungkook's neck, who tensed as his body unwillingly released a strong wave of his scent from the simple touch. Yugyeom's nose flared at the unexpected sweetness that filled the room, "You're really sensitive today, Gguk."

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders, "Probably because of everything that's happened recently."

Yugyeom led him to the leather loveseat, sitting down as he held Jungkook's hand before gently pulling the boy into his lap. Jungkook curled up like a kitten, burying his face in Yugyeom's neck as he scented the younger man. He rubbed his nose up and down Yugyeom's throat as the other's floral scent soothed him, a warm vibration beginning to develop in his chest.

"Aw, Jungkookie, you're purring." Yugyeom cooed as his hyungs looked towards them because of the noise. Jungkook blinked, surprised. He's never purred before. Instead of Yugyeom's statement interrupting his purrs, they only got louder as he sat in comfort, surrounded by his best friend's scent.

"You've never been this clingy before, Kook. What's gotten into you?" Yugyeom joked lightheartedly while Jaebum filmed them on his phone.

"I feel happy," Jungkook answered slowly between purrs. After sending the video to Seokjin, Jaebum pocketed his phone before grabbing two bowls of sundubu-jjigae¹ from the kitchen and bringing them to the maknaes. Everyone else gathered in the living area to watch a comedy, a bowl in their hands as they sat down around the TV. Jungkook perked up as soon as he smelled the delicious aroma of the stew, mouth watering as he watched the alpha hold it out towards him. He slipped off Yugyeom's lap before taking it into his hands, immediately eating the stew once he was settled beside Yugyeom.

Jungkook devoured the whole bowl of sundubu-jjigae in minutes, licking his lips as he looked down at the empty bowl before staring longingly towards the kitchen. Youngjae noticed once he glanced up from his own food, laughing quietly as he elbowed Jaebum. The alpha's gaze turned towards Jungkook before a fond smile took over his features, "Still hungry, Jungkook?"

Jungkook nodded shyly, ears burning red as everyone turned to look at him. Jackson placed his half-eaten bowl of stew on the coffee table before standing up, taking Jungkook's bowl to fill it up again before handing it to the omega. Jackson grabbed his own before deciding to sit beside the omegas, "Your hyungs weren't lying when they said you had an appetite."

Yugyeom hummed in agreement, "Just before we got here, Jungkook made us stop at Shake Shack and practically ordered the whole menu."

Jungkook smiled sheepishly, "I've been hungry today."

"Did your alphas not feed you?" Jackson joked, but there was a twinkle of concern in his eyes.

"Yes," Jungkook defended immediately, "It was just all gone by the time I went back for seconds."

"Well, I always make enough to feed an army, so feel free to come over anytime." Jackson smiled, ruffling Jubgkook's hair, who huffed softly as he leaned into the alpha's hand. Jungkook's head turned towards it as he sniffed the alpha's amber scent before licking his palm, purring as he began to groom the alpha. Jackson's eyes widened, glancing at Yugyeom in shock.

Yugyeom's jaw dropped as the other omega scented Jackson openly, "He's never done that before."

Just as Yugyeom said that, he began to smell it. Jungkook had an unnatural sweetness lingering around him, adding to his already fruity scent. That's when he realized it; Jungkook was producing slick. No wonder Jackson and Jaebum looked so alarmed, covering their noses as their pupils dilated; alphas had the best sense of smell, so they could smell it first.

Jungkook was in preheat.

"I'm going to call his hyungs," Bambam said as he rushed out of the room, dragging Jaebum with him outside.

"How about we go to my bedroom while we wait for your hyungs, Jungkook?" Jinyoung asked before he could properly think it over, knowing Jackson was beginning to get uncomfortable as he shifted on the cushion beside Jungkook.

The omega grunted in response before allowing Jackson to take his hand away, "I don't want to go anywhere. I like it here."

"But my bedroom smells like me," Jinyoung insisted, knowing Jungkook enjoyed his rainy scent, even though the omega would never say it. It would also help him to get away from the alpha pheromones lingering in the living area, as it will only cause his heat to accelerate.

Jungkook shook his head stubbornly, "I don't want to go!"

"Okay, okay," Jackson was quick to soothe the omega who was becoming distressed, "You don't have to move, baby."

"You're not helping, Jackson-hyung." Yugyeom hissed between his teeth. With Jackson attempting to help settle Jungkook also came his pheromones, which were predominately in the air and could trigger his heat.

Jackson growled as his omega denounced his efforts, "At least I'm not stressing him out!"

Jungkook's nose wrinkled as Yugyeom's and Jackson's scents rolled off of them in waves, the alpha attempting to dominate while the omega refused to submit. He whimpered, tears pricking in his eyes. His head and lower abdomen were beginning to ache, and the aggressive pheromones around him weren't helping his situation. 

He wanted his hyungs.

He let out a quiet sob, cutting off the the argument as fat tears rolled down his face.

"Oh, we're sorry, Kook. We didn't mean to upset you." Yugyeom cuddled up close to the emotional omega while Jackson did the same on the other side. Jackson agreed, "We just want you to be comfy, baby."

Jungkook sniffled, using his wrist to wipe his tears. "I don't like it when people fight."

"Aw, our soft baby bun." Yugyeom cooed softly as Jungkook settled against them, suddenly feeling drained from the short pity session. He began to doze off as they waited in silence for Jungkook's hyungs, curled up between the other men as he snuffled.

Jungkook jolted when he heard footsteps stomping their way towards him, scent spiking in fear as he was startled awake.

"Shh, it's just your hyungs, Jungkook." Jackson shushed his soft whimper. Jungkook rubbed his eyes, leaning up from his slouched postion on the loveseat to watch as Namjoon approached him quickly. Namjoon wrapped his arms around Jungkook's waist, pulling the boy into the air as he inhaled the sweet scent emitting from his omega. Jungkook's legs encircled Namjoon's hips, sighing happily as he buried his head in the alpha's neck.

"God, Jungkook. You smell so good that I could just eat you up." Jimin teased as he walked into the living area, watching the youngest cling to their leader.

"I feel weird, hyung." Jungkook shifted uncomfortably on Namjoon's hip, mewling softly when Namjoon placed a hand on his clothed behind for support as he began to gush slick. Namjoon groaned lowly as his eyes flashed red, trying to refrain from taking his omega right then and there in front of all his friends.

"I wanna go home, hyung." Jungkook purred, giving a kitten lick between the junction of his hyung's neck and shoulder, right where his scent gland was located.
