Chapter Text
"You smell so good," the old man whispered between Jimin's legs, his beard poking at Jimin's sensitive skin, the old man licked all over his inner thighs, and Jimin thought in frustration that he would have to take a shower again.
"Maybe my body is like that because you're here," he said in his usual kittenish voice, pulling the alpha's head closer to his wet heat.
I hate old dudes, he thought. And Jimin's mind drifted away, he thought about the golden earrings at Han's shop, and the emerald necklace, maybe he would buy them on his birthday.
“Jimin! Jimin!” Nayoung, his personal servant, forcefully opened the door and gasped loudly. "Mama called for you, heard that there is a very important guest who wants to meet you."
"Out! Can't you see I'm busy?” Jimin glared at her, his hands gently lifting the old man's head.
"Such disrespect! Dare to rush in when I'm having fun? Do you know who I am?!” The old man turned around and shouted at her face.
Nayoung was only thirteen years old, she was close to tears, "But... But Mama said—"
"Lord Yang, please forgive me." Mama came from behind Nayoung. "But Jimin must definitely go now, we'll send another Kisaeng here to serve you."
"Do you know who I am?!" The old man screamed. "I just have to tell the King one word and this place would collapse!"
"Please forgive me, Lord Yang. But great General Kim asked to see Jimin immediately. We have no other way. I will have to apologize to you.” Upon hearing of General Kim, the old man's face turned, still, Mama bowed politely. "Jimin, hurry up and go."
What's going on? General Kim wants to see me? Who is he? Jimin really didn't know. But he pouted because he was interrupted. Lord Yang was an important official in the court, and he often rewarded him with generous gold. He stroked the old man's face and kissed his cheek, "I'll go for a bit. I will make up for you another day, okay?” When Jimin used his pleading voice, almost no one could refuse him, and the old man released him with disappointment.
“Hurry and come back here,” The old alpha squeezed his butt and Jimin pretended to giggle. Then he put on his robe and stood up to follow mama.
"Nayoung, take Jimin back to his room, dress him up in proper clothes! Hurry up!” Mama coldly ordered Nayoung. Right, Jimin was wearing only a silk robe, a band around his waist, just barely to cover the most private part, his clients really liked it, gave them easier access to Jimin's body.
Nayoung nodded, then obediently took Jimin back to his room, pulled out a hanbok designed specifically for male omega. Because a male omega was not considered a man, he must wear female hanbok, but he did not care much about this, he was used to it. Nayoung meticulously dressed him in layers, fixing his hair and accessories, before hastily pulling him towards the brothel's reception room.
Mama and two men, an alpha in his mid-fifties, he looked dauntless and dignified, Jimin guessed it was great General Kim, and a beta, was already sitting inside. Jimin casually walked in, he bowed to the two men and sat down next to Mama.
"Jimin? Are you Park Jimin? Do you remember me?” The older Beta excitedly spoke to him, as if he was talking to an old acquaintance. And he really did look familiar. “It's me, uncle Byungso! I often came to your house to play chess with your father, and I bought you plum candy, remember?”
Jimin was dumbfounded for a while, "Ah, it's uncle Byungsoo!". He remembered the beta, but those memories were so faint, like thousands of years ago, so many things had happened since then.
“I can tell from one look that you are Jimin.” The beta began to become emotional, his eyes glittering. “You were always so pretty. If only... If I knew Mihee would do that to you...” Jimin's gaze changed slightly when he heard the man mentioned his mother.
"It's in the past, please don't mention that woman," he told Byungsoo.
“That's right, I shouldn't, I really shouldn't. Jimin, today I bring you good news!” Byungsoo said excitedly. Jimin just sat and stared at him.
"Is your father Park Jimong?" The only Alpha in the room began to speak up.
"Yes, my lord," Jimin bowed his head unconsciously. It was also a way for him to hide his feelings, it was years before he heard his father's name again, and that made his heart uneasy.
“Are you really Park Jimin? What is your birthdate, where were you born?”
"October 13st, 995, my lord," Mama spoke before Jimin.
"I didn't ask you!" Alpha glared at Mama, causing her to shrink. "Jimin?" He turned his attention back to Jimin.
“October 13st, 995 in Cheungju, my lord,” Jimin answered.
The alpha said nothing more, just observing Jimin for a while. Neither he nor Mama dared to look up, Jimin just found this extremely strange.
“Your father was an exceptionally brave man, Jimin.” General Kim spoke up after a long silence. “Your father sacrificed himself to save my life, and before he closed his eyes I promised I would seek you out and protect you, I would give you a happy life. I'm sorry it's too late, the war lasted more than ten years. I couldn't make it in time to find you, I'm sorry we have to meet like this, I'm sorry you got sold to this brothel. I feel ashamed, unable to repay your father in time.”
"It's nothing, my lord," Jimin's voice was trembling. "It's been a long time, I no longer feel miserable. I got used to it." He felt like crying when the General praised his father, his father was a hero, he was Jimin's hero.
"You are still unmated, right?"
“What...” Jimin looked up startled, surprised when the general asked about this. Then he bowed his head again, "Yes, my lord, until someone buys me out, then I can remove the necklace on my neck and mate with them."
“I have already paid for your freedom.” The General told him, still the unfazed expression, but his words caused Jimin to widen his eyes. He was one of the most expensive omegas in the city, even Lord Yang wouldn't think about buying him. "From today on you are no longer a Kisaeng, you will move into the great General's palace, you will become my family."
Jimin suddenly sneered, "Oh, you want to repay my father by making me your concubine?" He didn't know where he got such boldness, he just felt ridiculous.
Great General Kim still stared at him, his expression unchanged, he didn't look angry or anything. Then he said, "No, Jimin. You are to wed with my son, lord Kim Namjoon. You will never have to live like a slave again.”
