I Don't Want To Rush Him + Friends? Just Friends?

NamJoon couldn’t help but stare at the male who had just entered. NamJoon could tell that he was nervous and that his brother was the only thing that was keeping him from running. “Alpha,” YoonGi whispered from beside NamJoon, ”is he the one?”

NamJoon rolled his eyes and lightly nudged Yoongi. “Hyung, I told you to speak to me informally.” NamJoon smiled as YoonGi came up with a response. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well when the time comes you’ll become Head Alpha of the Bora Pack. When that happens, I’ll be ranked as your right hand man. I might as well get accustomed to it now.”

NamJoon sighed and turned towards his beautiful Omega who was now introducing himself. “Hello, my name is Kim SeokJin, and I’m 18 years old. This is my little brother, Kim TaeHyung and he’s 16.” NamJoon was entranced by Jin’s voice and found himself feeling protective over him as some of the other wolves started fangirling/fanboying,

YoonGi chuckled, “Young Alpha, how is it you’re already whipped for him?” NamJoon glared at Yoongi and then smiled at SeokJin and TaeHyung who were walking to their new seats a few rows in front of them. TaeHyung smiled back while Jin blushed and quickly moved to his seat.

“That’s adorable,” NamJoon said while observing how the two brothers interacted. “So, how long will you wait until you court him?” NamJoon was not surprised that YoonGi would ask such a question. He wasn’t the type of person to let the ones he loves stay away for too long. “I want to get to know him first. I can tell he’s stressed so I won’t try to rush or push him. He’s different and I don’t want to hurt him. I don’t want to rush him. I want to become his friend and I want him to loosen up more around me so that we can both feel comfortable.”

YoonGi smiles and patted NamJoon’s back. He knew that this was why NamJoon was the most respected Alpha at this school. He was fair and extremely caring. He took care of everyone and could read people better than those people could read or understand themselves. “You’re a good person, NamJoon-ah. You’re a good person.”

The first hour and study hour passed with no difficulties or interactions. Jin didn’t mind this but he did feel disappointed that his mate, NamJoon, didn’t even attempt to flirt or even talk to him. He had severe Philophobia but he still felt the desire to love and be loved by him.

TaeHyung and Jin were heading to gym class for rec time. When walking into the gym, they saw that some kids had already started a basketball game and some of the others were simply laughing, playing, and racing around the gym. YoonGi, who Jin recognized as the male who always hung out with NamJoon, waved them over to where they were playing one on one. NamJoon took advantage of YoonGi’s distraction and dunked.

Tae smiled and dragged Jin with him towards the two. “Hi. I’m YoonGi, Min YoonGi and this is my friend Kim NamJoon.” NamJoon joined the three, giving Jin a smile that Jin felt should’ve been illegal. Jin looked away shyly while Tae greeted them in return.

“How are you two enjoying the school so far?” YoonGi asked as they headed towards the bleachers. Tae smiled and started ranting about every little detail he’d enjoyed about the school, so far. YoonGi was shocked by Tae’s rant and after a while Jin gained back his older brother energy, finding it in him to scold the younger. “Ya! You keep talking and your mouth will fall off and start rolling on the ground! You’re starting to talk so fast, you sound like a ticking time bomb getting faster every second!! TAKE A BREATHE DUDE YOU CAN’T DIE ON THE FIRST DAY YOU DARK HAIRED PABO ALIEN WHO SHOULDN’T HAVE JOINED SPEECH AND DEBATE!!!!”

Tae, YoonGi, and NamJoon were completely shocked by the outburst and were silent without showing any reactions. Jin then began to worry about how NamJoon would react and if NamJoon would hate or be mad at him. NamJoon then started laughing, dimples completely on display. Jin looked at him in surprise, only to see NamJoon looking back at him with the most loving expression he’d ever seen.

Jin blushed as NamJoon pet his hair, neither his smile nor his loving expression ever leaving his face. “Hey Jin, can we be friends? I know it’s totally abrupt but it’d be nice to have some entertainment and ACTUAL positivity that I can’t get from YoonGi.” Jin’s eyes widened in surprise. What mate would ask to be FRIENDS with their partner? “Friends?” NamJoon nodded and Jin agreed to the idea while Tae cheered and pulled Jin, NamJoon, and YoonGi into a group hug. Jin smiled at the fact that they were friends, but he still was curious of one more thing. Did NamJoon REALLY want to be friends? Just friends? Could anything between them grow while they were friends?
