The sun hits Jimin's eyes through the blinds of his room, the alarm rings in his ears as he stumbles awake. He reaches out for it, hitting the “stop” button as he grunts. It is another monday, just like any other, and the repetitive routine, although boring to some, brings him comfort. 

He heads to the bathroom to freshen up, he washes his face, brushes his teeth and takes a quick shower. He hurries to get dressed in his work suit, he brushes his blond hair and puts on some slight make up to accentuate his features. He makes sure to spray his scent blockers accordingly, earlier than later since they take awhile to fully quick in. Although his son nags him about it every day, it is still required at work that all employees, no matter the rank, cover their scents. 

“But I can’t smell you appa, I like smelling you” 

His son complained. Jimin is sick and tired of having to explain to him how the world works, but that's just what having a six year old is about, he guesses. He assumes his son’s instincts to always smell his father come from a protective standpoint, which Jimin does not fully mind, but having an alpha son who is so protective can sometimes be disruptive.

Everytime he tries to bring someone home, even if they are just friends , Jihyun throws a fit and his scent sours. So he gave up. The only Alphas he is able to tolerate Jimin being around are Namjoon and Taehyung, both childhood friends of his, which makes things easier, since he needs the help more often than not. 

Jimin can’t fault him, they have both been through so much, and afterall, he is just a child. Maybe it is a little bit his fault that he is so protective, since he can’t really say he has been the most accepting of alphas in his life. Not having an alpha father is not abnormal, not knowing who is the alpha father is a different situation, which his son currently faces. 

Jimin has had a relationship since Jihyun was born, they got married very shortly after they met, around six months after they got to know each other on a dating app, and a year after his son was born. Jimin was young, and honestly desperate to have a safe space where he could raise Juhyun without the judgmental stares of being an omega single father. But that ended shortly after the man, Hajoon, cheated on him several times. Jimin can’t say there were no red flags, he never treated Jihyun as his own, and never got over the fact that Jimin had a life before they met. Always jealous, always sneaking around, always reluctant to do more than the bare minimum. Jimin thanks the Gods they did not share a mating bite, since Jimin wanted to wait until they were at least a year in. 

It has been so long since Jimin has dated anyone, not just because he does not have the time, but because he does not want to. Introducing a relationship to his life, just as he has finally settled, got a stable job, a beautiful apartment, a nice car, nice clothes to wear, is complicated.

Now, after going through the nights of sleeping on Namjoon’s couch with Jihyun after his ex-husband quicked them both out (although he was the one in the wrong) and left them with nothing while Jimin was finishing his degree. He was as broke as a law student with a child and no wealthy parents to save him would be. Having to move back to Busan to stay with his parents, and having to take classes online to complete his degree was no easy fit. After endless nights of crying, and feeling helpless, he made it. And Jimin does not want to ruin what he has by betting everything on a relationship. 

Jimin shakes his thoughts away and sighs, he looks at the clock hanging above his bed. It is 06:10AM, just in time to wake up Jihyun, who is normally stubborn to get  off bed, but lately has been somehow excited to go to kindergarten to see his new best friend Soobin. They bonded over the fact that they are the only alphas in their classroom, which Jimin has explained to him that ranks are not the only reason you should be friends with someone and to make sure to befriend other people. Which went into deaf ears, and now Jimin is planning on giving a lecture on ranks and why it is important to be nice to everyone. 

Jimin tiptoes to Jihyun’s room across the hall from his own, the door always left ajar in case of an emergency, and he looks at the sleeping form of his son. Although his own, Jimin does not see a lot of resemblance from himself. They have the same plump lips, and recognizable blonde hair, but Jihyun’s round eyes, teeth-ish smile and bouncy curls remain a mystery to on lookers on why his genetics didn’t win most of race. He carried the boy! The least his genes could do is put up a fight. But he adores him either way, his cuteness and kind hearted spirit can win over anyone. 

 Jimin gets close to Jihyun’s car shaped bed and kneels down to brush his son’s blond wavy hair out of his face, his round red cheeks, his small face resting peacefully, warms his heart all over again. It reminds him of the first time he held Jihyun in his arms. Only his own parents were allowed to be present at the delivery, holding his hand as the labor intensive pains kept making him go in and out of consciousness.

It was hard, painful, but so worth it when he held his milk scented baby in his arms, his son. His baby. His whole world shifted as he mentally committed himself to give his life to this being, to be everything he can, even without another partner, he would be and do anything in his power to never let harm fall upon his baby. 

“Jihyun, baby, wake up” Jimin says as he gently shakes his pup awake, Jihyun grunts and turns to reach for Jimin, trying to curl himself close to Jimin’s chest, and trying to get a whiff of Jimin’s fading scent. 

“Come on pup, time for school” 

“Appa, my tummy hurts” Jihyun says as he slowly opens his eyes, Jimin taps his son’s forehead and notices he is running a little hot. 

“Let’s have some breakfast and maybe your tummy will feel a little better, love” 

“O-okay appa” Jihyun says as he clings to Jimin like a koala. he is a bit clingy today which is not a good sign, he only gets like this when he is getting sick.  Which is a proem, since Jimin can not afford to miss work this week, and he is sick of asking Namjoon and Taehyung for favors.

He knows they do not mind, and treat Jihyun like he is blood of their own, but Jimin still feels like a burden, since they all have their own lives, especially since Namjoon has just recently mated with his omega partner Seokjin. 

Jimin tries his to get his sleepy, relatively sick pup ready to the best of his abilities. Jihyun is not as small as he once was, so carrying him around is not the best for Jimin’s back anymore. The clingy pup whines in his neck as he sticks to Jimin, and a primal need to fix anything wrong with his son takes over. His instincts heighten as Jimin makes breakfast in record speed, making some porridge that might go easy on his stomach and his favorite orange juice to increase his blood sugar. 

Jimin is able to feed his son a few spoons of the porridge before he is throwing up all over the floor. He decides that the denial stage is over, and calls Jihyun’s kindergarten to tell them that he won’t be coming in today. He swallows his pride, dialing Namjoon’s number since he is the closest to his house. 

“Hey Jimin, what’s up! it’s pretty early”

“Jihyun is sick and I don’t have any way of taking him to the hospital. Can you please stop by and take care of him? Today is an early day and I will be back by 3PM, I promise” Jimin pleads as he talks with his phone on speaker, cleaning the floor as the sick Jihyun rests on the couch. 

“Ouh Jimin I am so sorry, today is super busy at the studio and I just came back from vacation with Jin, I doubt they will let me out today” Namjoon replies, and Jimin’s heart sinks. 

“Is Jin available? What about Tae?”

“Well, Taehyung is abroad right now, remember? And Jin left a bit early since he had an early morning surgery, he might be back by 12PM. He should be able to pick Jihyun up by then” Namjoon replies hopefully. 

“12? I will be at work, and I can’t just leave him home alone” Jimin says desperately, he is running out of options. 

“how about you take him to work for a few hours? And Jin can pick him up and take him to your house until you get off work” Namjoon asks, and Jimin pounders. He hates to mix his personal life with work. Graduating with high honors and the networking he made while in school landed him an intern job, which quickly became a full time position. And over the last 3 years, he climbed the ranks just enough to get himself a position that pays very well, enough to be able to spoil his son quite often. 

He chooses to keep his life very separate from his workplace, very few people know he has a son, only a selected group, and that is for a reason. People have always been quick to judge his situation, and he doesn’t want it to affect his contacts and deals, so he tries to keep it hidden.

He never talks about more than the necessary details. The only co-worker who knows Jihyun personally is another lawyer at Jimin’s firm, Jung Hoseok. Although he is the son of the owner of the firm, he chooses to beat the nepotism allegations and built his very strong reputation in the firm by his remarkable track record of cases won, and cheerful personality. Plus, since he is a beta, and Jihyun is attracted to his faint but sweet scent, so it all works out. Jimin could ask Hoseok to take care of Jihyun, but the last time he babysitted his son, Jihyun ended up with a bad sugar rush and broke his Nintendo (which Jimin is still heavily unaware of how it happened). 

So Jimin gives up, his shoulders sag as he replies to Namjoon: 

“Fine, please let Jin know that he can pick up Jihyun at any time and I will get home as soon as I humanly can, thank you so much Joon” Jimin says as he hangs up. He springs into action, since this whole ordeal already stole him a good 50 minutes off his morning routine and he might be running a bit late. 

“Hey pup, here is some water, appa is going to take you to work today but uncle Jin will pick you up later okay?” Jimin says as he hands Jihyun a sippy cup with water and some electrolytes. 

“No school today?” Jihyun asks as he takes the cup in his chubby hands, sipping the water slowly, his eyes a bit sleepy and voice groggy. His heart hurts as he watches his usually energetic son behaving as only a remnant of his usual personality. 

“No baby, you are sick and need a bit of rest, do you want to take your coloring books to paint in appa’s office?”

“Yes please!” Jihyun responds a bit cheerfully. They head out as soon as Jimin packs his son some snacks and water, his favorite coloring books and his own lunch. They hop on Jimin’s car and Jihyun falls asleep in his seat as soon as they drive off.

Jimin quietly calls his boss to warn him about the presence of son at the office, which he assures is okay as long as he is not disruptive to the other workers, and Jimin reassures him that it should be fine. 

“Make sure to still have the meeting with the Jeons at 12:30PM today, they are heading to the office as soon as they get off the plane from Japan” the what?

“I am sorry sir I did not get that, with the Jeons?”

“Yes, Alpha Jeon wants you to handle the merge of one of their properties to make a shared office with ours” Jimin gulps at the response, why him, and why today of all days?

“Me? Hoseok handles a lot more of merge cases than I do?” Jimin replies, being careful to not sound like he is questioning his boss. 

“He is handling his own cases right now, and you are the best to represent our company Park, good luck on the meeting” and the beep sound rings through the call as it ends. Jimin wants to smash his head on the steering wheel. 

The Jeons are a much bigger, much more well known law firm that keeps appearing in the worst moments of Jimin’s life. Taking his cases, and taking all the spotlight to their fancy buildings, fancy employees, fancy jets and most of all, fancy amounts of money. And they make sure to rub it all over people's face, at least that is how he perceives it.

Although arrogant, they are good business partners with Jimin’s firm, so he has no option but to interact with them, especially with Alpha Jeon’s favorite son, Jeon Jungkook. He would not say he despises him, he just heavily dislikes the cocky, knotheaded alpha that thinks he is better than everyone. They (unfortunately) went to law school together, but Jimin graduated later, since he is a year younger. Now at 29 years old, he can recognize that their banter might be a bit… childish, but sue him for not liking rich know it all alphas. 

They barely even talk, but Jimin feels his blood boil every time Jungkook has another “meeting” in his building, on his floor, always occasionally at the same time as his lunch break, so Jimin can see everything through the glass meeting doors. He is always so smug, and it pisses Jimin off to an astronomical degree. But today, he has to be professional. He will drop off Jihyun at Hoseok’s office for the duration of the meeting and pick him up as soon as he is done. An hour away from his son shouldn’t hurt, at least he tells himself that. 

They reach Jimin’s office 10 minutes late, which isn’t too bad since he does not have any early meetings. It is 09:15 AM when Jimin settles in his office, he puts the sleeping pup down on the small sofa in his office. He puts a blanket he keeps in the cabinet in his office on top of his son, it does not have his scent, but it should do to keep his pup warm in the cold room. 

He slumps in his chair as he looks up at the ceiling, takes a deep breath, and closes his eyes. He finally has a bit of time to settle down and let his heart rate rest, but his mind still spirals. Does he have medicine at home? He is supposed to go grocery shopping tomorrow, should he just go today and get more supplies? He has laundry to do, maybe he should -

“Jimin?” he jumps in his seat as he sees his door ajar, Hoseok on the other side peeking through the crack. “Good morning sunshine- OH, little Jihyun is here”

“Hey! He is a bit sick so I had to bring him. A friend of mine is picking him up in a few hours” Jimin replies as he sets in front of him the papers for the meeting in a couple of hours. 

“You know I can always watch him” Hoseok says, entering the room and sitting down on the seat on the other side of Jimin’s desk. 

“Yeah…no, not after last time”

“I told you his nintendo just broke! I have no idea how it ended up in pieces though” 

“Right, and a monster snuck into my house and gave him the whole box of candy I told you was off limits” Jimin says as he rolls his eyes playfully. 

“That… happens I assume” they both laugh at the absurdity of the situation. A moment of silence settles before Hoseok asks:

“Ready for the meeting with your arch nemesis?”

“Are we in a drama or something? He is not my enemy, this is business” Jimin replies, dragging the words for emphasis. 

“I am never sure if you guys hate each other or wanna fuck really bad” 

“Hoseok! Kid in the room” Jimin gasps, pointing at his son sleeping soundly on the couch. 

“He is asleep, and you did not deny my claims” Hoseok says matter-of-factly. 

“Well I am denying right now, he is extremely annoying at worst, and hardly tolerable at best, not sure I would ever get close to him enough to have a pleasant conversation” Jimin says as he gets up from his desk to brew himself a cup of coffee in his office’s machine.

“But haven’t you guys-”

“Hoseok, please don’t” Jimin interrupts, and Hoseok knows to drop the conversation. They make small talk long enough for Jihyun to wake up. They feed him a light breakfast with some toast and juice to settle his stomach, and get him some over the counter medication for his headache. It takes a while, but he can see his son start to become at least a bit better. 

Soon enough, the time of the meeting rolls around and Jimin hurries Jihyun away to Hoseok’s office, the pup clings to him like his life depends on it, but Jimin reassures him that it will only be an hour before he is back. With a bit of tears, the pup lets go and Jimin goes back to his office to wait for the meeting that starts in a couple of minutes. 

Jimin reminds himself that he has to be professional and not let his emotions get the best of him, but just thinking of that cocky alpha makes him feel weird. And he does not like it. 

🦋

Jungkook knew the day would be an odd one from the beggining. He woke up in Tokyo, which has lately been his favorite place to wake up in. His apartment has a beautiful view of a park, and in cherry blossom season, he can wake up watching the beautiful leaves fall in the morning. He has always loved the smell of cherry blossom, the sweet scent has always brought him a comforting feeling that he keeps seeking. 

He got ready like he does everyday, having his usual breakfast when his dad called him. 

“Need you in Seoul in three hours to meet with the partner Lawfirm, take Yoongi” his father’s voice echoes through the phone. 

“Good morning to you too dad” Jungkook says, ignoring his fathers sentence. “How did you sleep?”

“Good son, the jet is waiting for you” his dad replies coldly. It is just how their usual conversations go, not that his life followed the usual 'rich family with distant parents' story line. His mom is the most important person in his life, followed by his brother and then maybe his dad. They developed this weird business relationship over the years, but Jungkook is lucky enough to have grown up in a family that let him do what he wanted for his career, and yet he still chose to follow his dad’s and brother’s footsteps and become a lawyer.

He is happy the way he is, and loves his job. Well, for the most part, he doesn’t love it as much when he has 30 minutes to get ready for a three hour flight out of nowhere back to Seoul.

“Why me though? Can’t mom make it?” Jungkook asks. In a society where hierarchy is everything, his family can be quite progressive. Although everyone calls his dad “Alpha jeon” it strays from the truth of him being the authoritative figure in their family. His mother is as much a competent and talented lawyer as his dad, sometimes a bit better. His dad knows Jungkook avoids meetings at the partner law firm, since he dislikes coming in contact with Park Jimin. 

If he is being honest, he never really had a problem with him, but ever since they graduated and their lives went separate ways, a cloud of tension is always over their heads every time they lock eyes. It feels so odd, they can’t have a cordial conversation to save their lives, and it always ends up with him leaving more annoyed (and honestly confused) than when the conversation started.

Jimin constantly accuses Jungkook of stealing his cases and messing up his work, which implies Jungkook is somehow stalking him or whatever, which he is not. Clients change their lawyers all the time. It has happened before where his own clients changed to someone else, but Jungkook, of course, did not take it at heart. 

Jungkook is used to being called cocky, but stuck up he can not tolerate it. Jungkook tries to keep the conversation light, he even flirts a little because he is not blind. Jimin is a beautiful men, and Jungkook is not stupid enough to let the opportunity go to make the omega blush, but damn he is sassy. He has a very sharp tongue, and does not take any bullshit from anyone, which is a great trait for a lawyer, horrible if he already hates you and you are trying to make small talk. 

“It’s our anniversary, we made last minute plans… just do as I say” his dad replies and Jungkook laughs at how embarrassed he sounds. 

“Got it boss” Jungkook replies, and the call ends. Jungkook sighs and gets his overnight bag.

He flies to Seoul in no time and is received by his older brother Yoongi, waiting for him in the car at the airport. Yoongi is his half brother, his mom was with Jungkook's dad initially, a nd left him with Jhim dad just after he was born, and they got divorced. After Alpha Jeon met Jungkook's mom, and eventually had Jungkook, they were raised like blood.

ungkook has never thought of Yoongi as less than family, he is his best friend, but he can be quite… nosey, which Jungkook does not mind for the most part, except when he is actively trying to get him and Park together for some reason. 

“Hey Kook, did you see mom’s insta update?” Yoongi says as he shows Jungkook his phone. His mom has kind of joined the influencer life, which is always fun to see boomers trying to work their way around social media. The rest of their family however, is chronically offline, which is for the best for the most part. Jungkook barely touches his phone unless strictly necessary, but his brother as the mom’s favorite is constantly checking on her influencer adventure and helping her with “trendy captions”. 

Jungkook looks at Yoongi’s phone to find a picture of his mom in a luxury hotel in Ibiza, her caption “32 years with hubby” makes Jungkook laugh out loud. So that’s why Jungkook is headed to Seoul.

“They look like they are having fun”.

“Ew don’t say that” Yoongi says as he withdraws his phone. 

“I didn’t mean it like that asshole” Jungkook says as he bumps his elbow to Yoongi’s arm. 

The ride to the firm's building was calm enough, and they reached their destination in no time. They are 5 minutes late, which shouldn’t be an issue, since Jungkook only knew about this trip around four hours ago. But as the receptionist guides both of them to the doors of Park Jimin’s office, he is met with his usual disdained look. 

“You are late” Jimin says as he types away on his computer, not even looking up to greet Jungkook. 

“By five minutes Park, is your schedule that tight today?” Jungkook says as both him and Yoongi take a seat on the opposite side of Jimin’s desk. 

“Pretty clear schedule actually, but late is late” Jimin says as he taps his index finger to his wrist. 

“I see, we can start right away then, we are not planning to stay long anyways, I have to get back to other stuff anyway”

“I did not ask about your plans after this” Jimin replies drily, and this is what Jungkook was talking about. It's like Jimin is incapable of small talk, and Jungkook is close to giving up, but of course he doesn’t, who would he be if he did not rage bait Jimin?

“Don’t be so dry Park, I bet those lips do more than just cuss me out” Jungkook says as he rests his back comfortably in his chair. Jimin finally looks up from his computer and stares daggers into Jungkook. His cheeks get a bit rosey, which Jungkook takes as a small win, but his expression doesn't change. 

“Let’s get this over with, don’t want you stinking up my office with your pheromones more than usual, have you heard about scent blockers? Geez” Jimin complains as he rolls his eyes. 

“My scent is my brand Park, the Jeons are au naturale and all that jazz”. 

“I can’t smell Yoongi though?” Jimin replies, so he notices their scent, which is interesting. Jimin has never commented about his scent, although Jungkook has only been around a couple of times. He knows about this firm’s “no scent on employees” policy, but Jungkook treats his life a little differently. 

He loves his scent, although unusual for alphas, the dark chocolate smell seems to be a topic of conversation every time he enters a room. It contrasts his hard exterior, his all black aesthetic to have such a sweet scent. If it was other alphas, they probably would mind, but Jungkook? He enjoys it, which makes him a man of multitudes. Yoongi chooses to cover his scent, since he was born with a condition that makes his scent a lot more potent and noticeable then most alphas, which can be annoying to be in public if his emotions start to show. 

“I choose to cover it, less of a hassle” Yoongi replies, and Jimin does not press on what it might mean. They move on from the conversation as Jimin brings out the papers they need to look at. 

Around half an hour passes as they surprisingly remain cordial. They talk professionally, no jabs are thrown although they sometimes banter, but for the most part, having Yoongi as a moderator helps not stray away from the conversation if one of them makes a comment. 

“So as I was saying, the transfer poses a problem when we take into consideration the interest rate of the-”

“Appa?” Jungkook turns as he hears a small voice coming from the door. The room turns silent and Jimin’s eyes go wide as he rushes out of his chair and runs to the door, kneeling down in front of the pup who just called his name. 

Appa? Jimin is a father? How did he not know? Well, Jimin has no family photos around, no social media (not like Jungkook has checked), and he is a completely closed book, so it is not that shocking.

“Jihyun, where is uncle hobi?” Jimin asks as he tries to shield the pup away from the onlookers. 

“Went to bathroom, I miss you appa” the pup says as he starts crying. The pup wipes his tears as Jimin brings him into a hug, caressing his back to soothe him. 

As a faint sour milky scent of sadness radiates from the pop, Jungkook’s heart rate spikes at the smell, he feels his alpha's instincts want to crawl off his skin and jump out. 

Pup hurt, save pup! 

Is all his alpha says as he watches the ordeal. Jungkook shakes his head trying to shush his alpha. He needs to calm down. 

“I know love but appa is busy, see? Can you stay with uncle hobi for a little longer, I promise I will be-” 

“NO, I wanna stay with you, I don’t wanna be alone appa, my tummy hurts” the pup cries as he hugs his dad close, Jimin stumbles back at the force in which the kid holds him. 

“Baby, I can’t right now-”

“He can stay Jimin, it is fine” Jungkook hears himself say, and Jimin looks at him closely. Jungkook can see the fight leaving him as the pup whines in his neck. 

“Jungkook this is a meeting, I can’t just let him have everything that he wants just because he is crying”.

“We don’t even have that much long left, just let him be here, I am sure it will be fine” Jungkook says. 

Jimin looks at both men sitting in front of him with a puzzled look in his eyes. Even if Jungkook can’t smell him, he knows Jimin is not happy with the situation. He ponders for a bit, looking at the crying pup in his arms before his shoulder sag and he gives up.

Jimin picks up the pup and brings him to his chair. He settles Jihyun in his lap, and the pup rests with his head buried in Jimin’s neck, trying to get a whiff of his scent. Jimin looks completely thrown off, but he tries to move on without making it known how uncomfortable he is. Jimin’s office phone rings and he answers in an angry tone:

“He is with me” Jimin replies to the person on the other side of the line. Jungkook can hear the string of apologies echoing through the phone, which he pieces together that might be the “uncle hobi” person. 

The pup finally settles, his cries stop as his breathing turns back to normal, and Jungkook’s alpha finally calms down. Jungkook curses himself for having such a weak heart for children, even if he never really thought about having one of his own. 

They continue the meeting quite smoothly except for the fact that the pup has weirdly, has kept looking at him since he got on Jimin’s lap. And Jungkook is also guilty, since he can’t stop staring back. He feels a strange tug in his heart, a pull. He is the cutest kid Jungkook has ever seen, with Jimin’s characteristic honey blonde hair and plump lips, but his eyes are so round and dark, different from Jimin’s light brown ones.

“Jungkook!” Jimin says as he snaps him back into reality. “Would you sign this please?” 

“Ye-yeah, sure yeah” Jungkook says as he picks up the pen and jots his signature down. 

“That copy is for you, I will keep one for myself and give it to my boss for him to send it to-“

“Smells like chocolate appa” the pup points out, and it catches all present off guard. Jungkook now feels a little embarrassed, assuming the pup might be bothered by his scent. And of course he would, pups don’t deal well with other scents, especially if it is not from their parents or close ones. 

“That’s me, if we are done I can just leave, don’t wanna bother“.

“I like it, smells good" the pup nods. "Appa says other alphas except me and Soobin and my uncles are yucky sometimes, but I like your smell” the pup reassures him, and Jungkook feels like his heart will burst out of his chest. The pup likes his scent. 

“Yucky huh?”

“Jihyun! Don’t call other people yucky” Jimin reprehends, a bit embarrassed. 

“But appa said-“ 

“We promised to keep it a secret, didn't we?” Jimin says and Jungkook observes them. Although stern, he can see a soft side in Jimin that he has never seen before. Even in college, Jungkook remembers them being quite distant from each other, a hard exterior always present in Jimin’s personality. But here he can see a few cracks. 

“Okay appa, sorry” the pup deflates a little, but Jimin gives him a reassuring kiss on his forehead, the pup’s scent blooms in content. 

“We are gonna go now, Jungkook can you text the driver?” 

“Yeah, sure hyung” he grabs his phone and quickly texts his driver that they are done for the day. They start packing up their documents when someone knocks on the door, not really waiting for permission before they come in. 

“I’m so sorry Jimin, I went to the bathroom and then I got a call from a client that I couldn’t decline so I rushed back to my office and Jihyunie was not there and then-“

“It’s okay Hoseok, the meeting is done anyway” Jimin says as he gets up with his pup, and places him on the couch. 

“I should have guessed you were uncle hobi” Jungkook says, giggling at the nicknames. 

“Good Afternoon to you too Jeon, annoying as always”

“I didn’t even say anything-“

“Yoongi, got my text?” Hoseok says, looking directly at his brother who looks like a dear caught in the headlights. 

“I uh… yeah I just forgot to reply, kind of a busy morning” Yoongi says, shrinking into himself, which makes Jungkook roll his eyes. This has been going on for way too long, three years exactly. Yoongi, heavily afraid of commitment, and Hoseok “way too busy to date”. So they go on and off, only making these encounters awkward for everyone involved, and too much for Jungkook to keep up.

They act like they are dating, Jungkook will not forget the ring Yoongi gave Hoseok for his birthday with a “Y” engraved on it, pure gold. But he still acts like they are somehow strangers. Jungkook wants to shake them both awake, but always decides it is none of his business. 

“Okay… gonna leave the couple to be. I will wait for you downstairs hyung. Jimin have a good day, your pup too”

“Bye mister!” The pup replies, and Jungkook’s heart warms.

“Fuck that test was hoooorrible” Jungkook says as he leaves the lecture hall. He texts his roommate to tell them he would be coming home late today to study at the library, so as not to worry. He needs to review this material because this experience can not repeat. It is his last semester for God sakes, he needs to focus. No time to slack off. 

But first, he goes to the cafeteria to have a quick lunch before his study session. The line is luckily short, since rush hour is almost over. 

“I’m sorry but the system says you don’t have a meal plan, you will have to pay without your dining dollars” 

“But, I am sure I paid for the meal plan, it has to be a mistake” the omega in front of him protests as the faculty at checkout swipes his student ID again. The small screen on the register still reads as declined. 

Jungkook sighs, he is really hungry and doesn’t like the line being held up. So he does the only thing he knows how to do to solve his problems, use his money. 

“Hey, I will pay for you, don’t worry” Jungkook says, taking out his personal card and handing it to the cashier.

“I don’t need your fucking money Jeon” the blonde says, and Jungkook tilts his head in confusion. Have they met?

“Do I know you?”

“Are you asking this because you don’t know how I know your name?” the omega asks, turning fully towards him, arms crossed protectively in front of him. 

“I mean, yeah? Kinda odd that a beautiful doll like you knows my name but I don’t know theirs” 

“Save the flattery, don’t need your money nor favors, I will eat somewhere else, get out of my way” the omega says, leaving Jungkook alone, and the cashier confused.

 Feisty omega, just the way he likes them.

🦋

Jungkook returns to Tokyo in a daze, he might even say he is shaken by his encounter with Jimin and his pup. He ponders for an absurdly long time on the reaction of his alpha to seeing the pup crying. He thinks he might be being paranoid, he is known to be a chronic overthinker, so he might just be letting old habits not die. 

Yes, it has to be that. 

He goes back to his apartment after the long day he had yesterday, he does not think he wants to do anything else but rot in bed after downing an irresponsible amount of fried chicken and bear. He will go to the gym tomorrow, today, he enjoys the scarce instances in his life where he does not have anything to do for the day. It's only 11:20 AM.

With his dad on “vacation”, he should be more busy now than ever, but luckily because of seniority, Yoongi is still above him in the firm. Not really his boss, but he tends to handle harder cases and get the most of his dad’s workload. Although Yoongi is a great business man, Jungkook’s strengths fall on his talking, he is a great negotiator, and he can bullshit his way out of almost anything. Which is not only essential for a lawyer, but has saved his ass a couple of times. 

 Jungkook orders his food and settles in his sofa, newly bought, as his house had just been renovated. Not on his own accord, his mom begged Jungkook to give his house a new look, or at least furniture a little better. He was never one to have many things or like crowded places, but he would do anything for his mom, and how she loves to drop by and cook for him, have dinner parties with her sons and take care of the garden he has in his balcony, he lets her do what she wants. He does not mind, his heart is too weak for his mom’s begging. 

Although it has not always worked. Other than wanting to furnish his apartment, his mom is also paranoid about jungkook finally getting married and finding a mate. Which Jungkook has said multiple times he has absolutely no time for at the moment. The only time Jungkook accepted his mom’s suggestion was when he had a brief relationship with an omega who was the daughter of a very important business partner of his dad. 

It all felt arranged and honestly, overwhelming. He protested for weeks at first, reluctant to even go on a date with her since he was not looking for a relationship, and still wasn’t. 

“But kookie, she is beautiful, young and her family is respected. She already knows who you are and really wants to meet you, can’t you give her a chance?” His mom begged while they had dinner in Seoul. 

“Everyone knows me, she is not really special is she?”

“Jungkook, be serious. This could be great for you, you work so much, don’t you want someone who can also be there for you? Blow off some steam with” His mom asked, her eyes showing her suggestive tone. 

“First of all, ew, blow off some steam? I am not a teenager anymore; secondly, I have you, I have Yoongi and I love my life that way. I don’t need anyone else” 

“You are so stubborn, just like your dad. Can you do this for mom? Just one date, I promise you will like it” his mom asked, her dark round eyes just like his looking back at him, making his heart a little softer. He sighs, it is only one date… wouldn’t necessarily hurt anyone. 

“Okay, I will go, just one date”

At least it was what he thought, because surprisingly, he and Yeji, the omega, hit it off quite well at first. They went on a date, and found out they had very similar interests, liked the same shows, and the same artists, were similar in age, and both lived in Tokyo. The first date was good enough for them to have a second, and a third, and eventually they started dating. 

They were good together at first, a trendy hot couple in their late 20’s, which made for tabloids to go a bit crazy at first. The first two months of dating went quite smoothly until she started to show her true colors. She started to become more demanding, Jungkook always had to do more. Nothing he did was enough in her eyes and Jungkook got lost in the constant need to make her happy. 

Always more gifts, more sex, more time that Jungkook just could not give. It became exhausting, to always feel like he was at someone else’s mercy, his will was not his own anymore. Jungkook started to miss family events, friend gatherings, all because of jealousy. 

“WHY do you even need to go to these parties? Who are you meeting?”

“Can’t you just stay at home, your brother sees you almost everyday, what is missing his birthday gonna do?”

“And your secretary can go to hell, don’t you think I see how she looks at you? Fuck this, is me or her”

The demands never stopped, it felt isolating for months to rely on his intuition to tell him if he was doing the right thing by staying, which he thought he did. He thought it was just another bump in the relationship, just another fight that could be solved, just another pain, another night feeling alone in a house with someone he swore he was beginning to love. 

And it became too much to handle, his apartment felt tense, the air was thick every time she came around, Jungkook never knew what she would say, what she would do, anytime they were together, so eventually he had to break it off. 

It was an ugly break up. She became borderline obsessive, showing up at his work, his apartment, and tracked his movements through friends. Showed up to work events, parties, just to be close to him. He had enough and confronted her, threatening her with a restraining order, which he eventually did not file, since that scared her enough to leave him alone, but Jungkook knew he had to move, so he did. Hence, this new apartment  which had not been furnished properly or almost a year. 

He is 31 now, not getting any younger, although time seems to slow down sometimes when he is alone. Right now, thinking about his last relationship, Jungkook feels like it all happened yesterday. His heart tugs at the emotions he never got to process due to how busy his life has become since he graduated from law school six years ago. 

Everything is hectic, work, family. Balancing his life is not the easiest thing, but he is so lucky to love his job, and have a loving family, and so much was just handed to him, which Jungkook does not like to think about much. He graduated law school like everyone else, the best one in the country; however, how much would he have done without the connections? the tutors? the rich parents?

Sometimes he feels guilty, how his first instinct is just to throw money at things, how cocky he can be, but he knows he never means any harm. He guesses, the remedy for hypocrisy is self awareness, so he tries to be grounded, at least as much as his privilege allows.

Pondering like this,, his mind goes back to the pup. His alpha never reacts to anything, it is a running joke in his family how sometimes, his inner alpha feels non existent. Maybe it is because of stress, maybe it is because in today’s society, people are not encouraged to be as attuned to their wolves as they used to. 

So why did he feel so attuned to his wolf at that moment? He picks up his computer on the table in front of the TV and thinks about what to search for. 

‘Why is my wolf reacting to a pup that isn’t mine?'

He clicks search and hopes for the best. Some articles talk about imprinting, which is only possible if you spend long periods of time around someone’s child, which Jungkook hasn’t. So he browses to the next, some are about parenting and the bond formed from parent to child, which is also not possible. 

So what the fuck is wrong with him? Even now, his wolf is completely quiet, dormant inside him. He scratches his temple, he might be getting a headache from thinking so much. He decides to let it go, he might book an appointment for his doctor or something, he hasn’t had his rut in a while anyways so that might be a good idea. 

He makes a mental note, and waits for his food to arrive as he ponders. 

what the fuck. 

🦋

Jimin finds himself at home, hovering over the form of his sleeping son, caressing his hair as he admires how calm and cute he looks in his spiderman onesie. His fever has gone down, and Jimin partially thanks Jin’s doctor skills while he took care of Jihyun when he was at work. He made sure to hurry home, since Jihyun’s outburst early was likely to repeat. 

He wanted to avoid this, he tried so hard to avoid them meeting. When Jihyun crossed the door, his heart almost leaped out of his chest, blood drained from his face entirely as he saw the pup walk in and lock eyes with Jungkook. He should have left him with a babysitter, he should have locked his door or maybe called Hoseok early. 

He commented on Jungkook’s scent, and when he went home with Jin, the omega called him because Jihyun was crying, craving chocolate after his meal, which Jimin denied, since his stomach was not well enough yet. 

Jimin is spiralling, he knows nothing is gonna come off it, Jungkook seemed a bit phased but it was just because he has probably never even seen a pup probably.

He has always been so sheltered, almost ignorant of the lives of people who didn’t grow up rich like him. He remembers the first time he met Jungkook, how he was so ready to throw money in Jimin’s face when his life was mildly inconvenienced. Jimin does not need his money, he is well off enough, has a nice apartment, a wonderful kid, amazing friends, and a job he likes. 

He does not need his help, nor will he ever ask. He raised Jihyun on his own, he tried his best to give him all the kindness he could, all the love he had stored in his heart. Jimin feels something stuck in his throat as he holds down tears.

It was so hard. So many sleepless nights alone, in a cold apartment, with a man who barely tolerated him. So many times he felt like a burden to his friends when he had to stay up studying and did not have money for a babysitter. So many times he had to call his parents for help because he did not know whether he would eat the next day, since all his funds from his part time job, which rarely kept him afloat, went to his son. 

He could have called Jungkook, went to court, claimed his benefits and lived a comfortable life, but he chose to hustle. He chose to not be the poor omega that trapped the rich kid. And he would do it the same way over again if it meant he could keep his dignity and his ego.

He was strong once, and he will continue to be. He does not need Jungkook messing up his life, and changing everything. 

For now, he will stay far away. 

🦋 

Jimin thinks it might be a sick joke. If he is being honest, he was careless, he should have checked his schedule better, and read the meeting invite more carefully.  

The title for the email for the meeting with his clients read that it would be on a Tuesday. However, he thought it was the Tuesday of the following week, not this Tuesday, the day which coincidentally is the day he is supposed to pick up Jihyun from his field trip to the zoo on the other side of Seoul. All parents agreed to pick up their kids individually, and Jimin was amended on the fact that he was able to pick up his son, since he sometimes carpools with Soobin when there are out of school activities.

So now he finds himself here, an hour before he is meant to pick up Jihyun, scrambling to call parents who can make the 1 hour drive to drop Jihyun off at his job, or Namjoon’s home, or Taehyung’s or anyone that can watch him for the next three hours. 

Jimin feels like the shitties parent in the world, how can he be so careless? He has been so stressed out with this new merge of properties with their partner firm. He has had to handle so many cases in the past month, staying late, and having to hire a babysitter more than he would like to. He hates relying on people, and he loves being with his son.

Most importantly, he knows how Jihyun is weary of new people sometimes, and having to hire someone to watch him that he does not know well makes him scared. His friends are all adults with lives and jobs, and they can’t just drop whatever they are doing to rescue him again. 

He knows they do not mind, he knows they all love Jihyun like he is blood, but he still feels like a burden. It is not their kid, not their responsibility to be the parent Jimin is lacking in being. 

So he calls his last choice, which he feels a little bad for mistrusting so much, but there has been too many events where Hoseok has not been able to handle Jihyun as well as he wanted to. But he dials his phone number regardless. 

“Hey Hoseok” 

“Hi minnie what’s up? You don’t sound okay” Hoseok responds, and by the noises, Jimin can tell he is outside, maybe in a car, since he can hear horns close by. 

“Yeah hum… I am sorry for asking you this again, I know I asked you not long ago for a favor regarding to Jihyun but I don’t know what else to do-”

“Jimin calm down, that was like, two months ago and he ran away from my office, so if anything, I own you a favor for being so careless” Hoseok responds in a light tone, and Jimin feels like less of an inconvenience now. 

“What do you need?”.

“I… I was supposed to pick up Jihyun from his field trip but I totally misread my schedule and now I won’t be able to make it there to pick him up since I have a meeting. Are you close to the zoo at the end of the green line? You know the petting one?” Jimin asks, a bit breathless.

“I am actually… yeah I am, like, 20 minutes away? 30 give or take because of traffic, I can pick him up, when are you leaving work?”.

“In like, 3 hours, can you watch him? I am really sorry, I-”.

“Jimin, it is okay. I promise I will do a better job this time though, I can pick him up and get both of us dropped off in your apartment. I have the passcode right?”.

“Yes, and- wait, dropped off? Are you not driving?”

“Hm… well here is the thing. I just left lunch with…Yoongi and a friend" Hoseok says hesitantly, almost like it was supposed to be a secret.

“Ouh! That's… okay yeah, well, could you get a car seat for him? I will give you the money back for it” .

“First of all, you do not need to pay me back for anything I am doing willingly. Secondly, there is something else”

“What is it?” Jimin asks, and there is a pause. 

“The friend is Jungkook”.

🦋

Feels like a cliche, Jungkook is sure he has seen this plot in a movie before. He had lunch with Yoongi and Hoseok because they just all happened to be in the same area, it was convenient. Jungkook had driven there and Yoongi and Hoseok had taken a cab there from…well, Jungkook does not know what they were doing, nor does he care to know. 

But he gladly volunteered to drive everyone back. The drive was going smoothly, until Hoseok warned him about their little detour. Jimin, of course, was very hesitant to let them pick up his son, but Hoseok insisted, so they eventually ended up with a baby car seat, and driving to the zoo his son is supposed to be. Jimin made sure to call ahead of time to provide the name and email the school the ID’s of the people that were supposed to pick up his son. 

Jungkook was, for some reason, very nervous. He hasn’t been around pups much, if ever. He is the youngest of two, which already puts his odds at knowing how to talk with a child very low. It is not like he is picking the kid up alone, Yoongi and Hoseok are here, which means he does not have to interact with the pup at all if he really needs to but still. His instincts are ringing in his year at the prospect of seeing the child again and Jungkook feels insane. He thinks he might be going insane, or something is broken inside of him. 

When they reach the zoo, Jungkook can see a group of kids and adults standing at the entrance, all kids dressed in their yellow uniforms and parents and teachers gathered around talking and watching the kids closely. 

He recognizes the pup instantly, his blond hair stands out so much, Jungkook thinks it is cute actually. He is talking to another boy his height, and by the way they are playing and giggling, he assumes they are good friends. Hoseok pops out of the car with his wallet containing his ID, and runs to pick up Jihyun, who smiles and waves when he sees Hoseok approaching. He crouches to hug the small boy, and his heart strings tug at the display of affection. 

Jungkook has never really considered the possibility of children to himself. He is always so busy, and Yeji was very strong on not wanting kids at all when they were dating, so it never crossed his mind. So when Hoseok approaches the car, Jihyun’s hand on his own, he feels a bit out of place. The car door opens and a smiling Jihyun enters the car and is buckled on the middle seat beside Hoseok and Yoongi, giving Jungkook a clear view of the pup through the review mirror. 

“Hi misters” the pup says, a bit reluctant by the strange but somehow familiar faces, but he looks like he is in a good mood, a lot better than last time they met. 

“Hi kiddo” Jungkook says, and kinda regrets it. Kiddo? maybe that felt too familiar or personal, the pup does not know him after all. 

“How was the zoo my little Jihyunie” Hoseok says, tickling the pup as Jungkook drives off, making him giggle happily. And Jungkook’s alpha calls for him again. 

Pup happy, the pup is happy

Jungkook shushes his mind as he tries to keep his attention on the road. 

“There were so many animals! There was a giraffe! And a penguin! and I saw a pramingo!” 

“Flamingo baby, say it with me, fla-min-go” Hoseok replies as he spells the word out. 

“fla.. flamingo?”

“Yes, that's right Jihyunie!” Hoseok says excitingly, clapping at the boy's achievement. 

“I like pramingo better” Jihyun responds and reaches out for his backpack, taking his iron man figurine out showing it to Hoseok. 

“Look! Soobin gave me Iron man today!” 

“Wow Jihyun, that’s so good, is he your favorite hero?” Hoseok asks, taking the figurine from Jihyun and scanning it with his eyes and hands, making surprised sounds as he moves it around. 

“No… Spiderman is a little better. Wait no, Iron man, no… I don’t know” Jihyun ponders, trying to figure out his chain of thought. 

“You don’t have to choose” Jungkook speaks now without thinking, he shuts his mouth immediately. What is he doing? Is it appropriate? Jimin hates his guts, ,and he is not sure he would like Jungkook playing nice with his kid. Maybe he should just stay out of the conversation. 

“Yeah, all of them are pretty cool, I love Iron Man” Yoongi says, and Jungkook is glad he intervened and continued the conversation smoothly. Maybe it feels a little less awkward if all of them interact. 

“Me too! I love his cool gadgets” Hoseok exclaims. 

“What is your favorite mister?” Jihyun asks, and it takes a few seconds for Jungkook to realize he was addressing him specifically. 

“I.. I like spider man more I guess” Jungkook says, and the pup’s smile lights up. 

“Yes! Me too! I think… I think I like spider man more. I have more Spiderman toys anyways, they are so cool. Do you wanna see them, mister? We can see them today!” Jihyun asks so eagerly, Jungkook has a hard time not saying yes immediately. 

“I don’t think Appa wants guests today Jihyun” Hoseok says calmly, his scent spikes a little at the suggestion of bringing someone home with them. 

“But, but I wanna play, Appa is always busy, we don’t play lots anymore” Jihyun says, and his milky scent sours a little. Jungkook’s heart hurts, he does not know why, but seeing the pup pout in sadness makes his wolf restless. 

“I- I can play with you today” Jungkook says almost immediately. 

“Jungkook we have a meeting at 6 and-” 

“Cancel it, I am sure it will be fine” Jungkook interrupts Yoongi, and Hoseok follows suit. 

“I don’t think Jimin will be okay with this” Hoseok says, and Jungkook can see Jimin being definitely not okay with having Jungkook in his home. But Jihyun is pouting, and he is sad, and Jungkook has a weak heart. 

“I will deal with the consequences, it is just a few minutes and we will be in our marry way” Jungkook says “Please warn him first though, he can kick me out with a broom if he wants” 

“We can play?” Jihyun asks, a hint of him of hope in his round eyes. 

“Yes! You can show me Spiderman” Jungkook says and the pup cheers. He does not know why he is going out of his way to please this kid he barely knows, but his wolf is content, so he might be too. 

“Yayy! Thank you mister” 

“Call me Jungkook” 

🦋

6 years ago

Jungkook is not the one to enjoy partying much, maybe in college it was his thing, but now that he is in graduate school, he does not go for late nights out as much as before. Specially because he is in his last semester, he is just so drawn out and tired all the time, it almost feels like a punishment to go to parties this late. 

But he had a horrible week, had a C on an important exam. He lost the keys to his car, letting him have to walk home in the rain and call his dad to ask what to do. He luckily ended up finding them the next day, but his book bag was soaked, and he likely lost a lot of notes due to the incident.

He feels like drinking today, which is good, since at least it is a good occasion. In his university, last semester law students threw a party at one of the frat’s houses, only for law students of all years. It is something he was not necessarily excited for, but he likes the idea of all students getting together once a semester to celebrate everyone’s hard work. 

Jungkook thinks it is okay for just one night to let go. So, he drinks for his own content and enjoys the night. He does try to be more social than usual, he talks to other classmates and stays around in the kitchen with the drinks. He is very good at coming up with cocktails, so he helps with managing the drinks, it helps him to get to know more people, which he thinhks it might be kinda late since he is graduating, but it is never too late to make friends. 

It is definitely never too late to talk to the blondie who just walked into the room, and almost punched him at lunch almost a year ago. Jungkook does not think it is creepy for him to remember the blonde, but there is something about him that Jungkook can’t quite shake off. He doesn’t even know his name, but Jungkook finds himself randomly thinking about him. 

Jungkook thinks that there is a high possibility that whatever it is about Jungkook that bothered the omega, it might still bother him. So Jungkook makes his best cocktail option, not strong, fruity and refreshing. He thinks that is the best way to not come off as a creep. 

Jungkook approaches him with a bit of reluctance, since the omega’s aura is intimidating, even for an alpha like him. But he does anyway, he finds the omega alone, propped against the door of the kitchen facing the living room, arms crossed. Jungkook tries to not scare him and approaches slowly from behind, two cups in his hand. They come face to face as Jungkook walks up, now standing in front of him. 

“Hello” Jungkook says. “want a drink?”

“Why would I get a drink from you?” the blonde says, and Jungkook can already see the other guy physically shrink on himself. 

“ Because it is free and I made it myself, specifically for you” 

“Do you even know who I am?” the blonde interjects. 

“I know you cussed me out a year ago, I could never forget you” 

“Get off my face Jeon” Jimin says as he swats away athe drink Jungkook was offering, and starts to walk away from him. Jungkook acts quickly and stands in Jimin’s path. 

“Quit it with the googly eyes” 

“Googly? I am just trying to talk to a beautiful omega and offer them a drink” speech.

“And why are you trying to talk to me? Again, you don’t even know me” Jungkook can see him losing his composure a little bit, but his guard is still up. 

“Because… “ Jungkook pauses “I am not sure” 

Jimin huffs and rolls his eyes, of course this answer is not the most convincing, but Jungkook really doesn’t know why he is so interested in this man. 

“Typical alpha just trying to get what they can’t have” 

“Who says I won’t have you?” Jungkook blurts out, Jimin’s eyes widen as he looks at Jungkook, his cheeks blush a little, and Jungkook feels like he just scored a goal. 

“Get off my face Jeon, last warning” Jimin says more firmly and he now successfully walks away. Jungkook shouts loud enough before Jimin is far enough:

“What’s your name?” Jimin looks back slightly and eyes Jungkook up and down. He can see Jimin weighing his choices. He scans the room and sighs before reaching his arm out and taking the drink from Jungkook’s hands. He smirks before answering:

“Keep bringing me drinks and I might tell you” and he walks away. Jungkook smiles. 

 Progress.

🦋

Jimin is, understandably, pissed. His own apartment is now a circus, anyone can come in and out without his permission apparently. Hoseok called him, warning him that Jihyun really hit it off with Jungkook on the ride back and invited him to play, saying he doesn’t play with him anymore since he has been so busy. 

Jimin wants to throw up, is that what his own son thinks? That Jimin has been too busy to give him attention? He feels like crying, he is trying so hard to keep up with everything and he is failing. He wants to not take it personally, he wants to do what makes his son happy and not get his petty emotions in the way. But it is so hard not to feel some type of way about him. 

Jihyun begged to let Jungkook in, and he felt awful denying him the request for no apparent reason. He tried to come up with one, but all of them felt off when he took into consideration the fact that Jungkook is technically not a stranger, and he would not be alone with Jihyun, Hoseok would be there to watch. 

But Hoseok does not know the full story, he does not know his insecurities, he does not know the millions of times Jimin had imagined the possibilities and outcomes of them being close could cause. What should he even do? Tell Hoseok over the phone? Deny his kid a play afternoon and make him more upset? So he gave up. 

Jimin arrived home, scared of what he would find. He put in his passcode with trembling hands, he could hear the laughs and giggles through the door, which made his heart warm for a second before fear settled in. Why does Jihyun keep seeking Jungkook? Fuck, he knows why, but accepting reality is a lot harder than just living in delusion as he has for the past six years. 

He opens his door to find his son, on his playing mat next to the sofa, with Jungkook sitting down next to him, both of them almost oblivious of his presence as they immerse themselves in Jihyun’s extensive collection of action figures. Hoseok and Yoongi are chatting, but both of them stand up as Jimin enters the room and takes off his shoes, putting them in the racket next to the door. 

“Appa!” Jihyun drops his toys as he runs to Jimin. Jimin kneels in front of his child and gives him a big hug, tight enough for the pup to squirm “Appa you are squeezing me”. 

“Sorry baby, I just missed you so much” Jimin says as he looks into his son’s eyes. His wolf is a little settled right now, not all the way since there are still alphas in his home, but at least he can clearly see that his child is okay.

“Hello Jimin, sorry for intruding, everything just happened fast, we don’t want to be a bother” Yoongi says, ever so politely. Jimin has never really had a problem with the other Jeon. Yoongi has always been polite to him, always a controlled demeanor, and stupidly in love with Jung Hoseok. Jimin does not remember when those two met, he just remembers starting to work at his current firm and forming a friendship with Hoseok as they interacted more.  

Jimin also remembers a very suspicious looking Hoseok, leaving a meeting with Yoongi, hair disheveled, lips swollen, his face full of shame and eyes. Jimin held Hoseok as he cried, regretting ever getting with, and he quotes, ‘a player like that’. Jimin thinks they are both very silly, and tiptoe around their feelings. But he is not the best at feelings either, he is rather terrible at it, so he does not blame them. 

“It is okay, I was just surprised, thank you for taking care of Jihyun, I hope it wasn’t a bother” 

“Ouh, of course not Jimin, he is an angel” Hoseok says and Jihun giggles. Jimin hugs his son tight, and his scent settles a little. He smells like fucking Jungkook, and Jimin’s heart skips a beat. 

“Have you eaten? How was the zoo? I am so sorry I could not pick you up today” 

“It was so fun, appa! We saw a flamingo, and Soobin got scared but I helped him. And I showed Koo spiderman! He got me a new one appa, see!” Jimin zeroes on the new toy and his heart drops. A new toy, from fucking Jungkook. 

“Jungkook, can I talk to you for a second?” Jungkook freezes where he is seated on the floor. People have pointed out the fact that since he got Jihyun, he has a way of talking to people that insights a bit of fear, Maybe being a single parent of a hyperactive 6 years old makes him develop super powers, but he appreciates it, because Jungkook stands up and follows Jimin to the hallway with a tail between his legs. 

“I just want to say I didn’t mean to be a bother, he just invited me and I didn’t want to say no-”

“I accepted the request for you to play with you, not to give him new toys without my permission. You know, the permission from his father” Jimin says, and he sounds more angry than he should. He is a lawyer god damn it, he is trained to not let his emotions get the best of him in stressful situations, but he is failing heavily today at doing the right thing. 

“Its just a toy, he really liked it and I felt awful when I first said no when we passed the store. I thought it wouldn’t do any harm. I am not trying to say you couldn’t give it to him that’s not what I meant… fuck, am I messing this up?”

“What is ‘this’ in your view?”

“Like, our friendship? Or, I don’t know… I don’t want to do the wrong thing, especially when it comes to your kid. I don’t know much about them anyways, I just wanted to make him happy” Jungkook says, and Jimin can see him shrinking into himself. A strong, tall, rich alpha, making himself completely small so he does not upset him. Jimin almost coos at the display, but he is too upset right now to not double down on his initial stance. 

“Look, I am sure Jihyun appreciated the toy, but I don’t want you or anybody giving my son things without my permission. Thank you for the help, but as you said, Jihyun is my kid, and you sure know nothing about what it is like to raise a child. So stay out of the way” Jimin says, maybe sounding meaner than he initially wanted, but he has to get the point across. 

“I- I understand, I apologize” Jungkook says, and Jimin is surprised at the immediate answer. He feels a tiny bit of regret, Jungkook looks like a kicked puppy in front of him. His chocolate scent is sour and burned, like he is feeling actual guilt. Jimin sighs, his heart is too weak for this. 

“Just, next time, contact me first I guess, Jihyun has way too many toys already and he uses one third of them”

“Next time? So I was a good babysitter” Jungkook chimes in, and if Jungkook was a dog, Jimin would see his tail wagging excitedly. 

“I did not say that”. 

“You implied”. 

“That is a reach. You are a lawyer aren’t you?” Jimin says and Jungkook giggles. Jimin’s heart skips a beat, but Jimin ignores it. Fuck this. He is not going to go into this rabbit hole right now. 

“Appa! Appa! Look! Spiderman and Iron Man are going to fight, come look” Jihyun runs excitedly, grabbing Jimin’s shirt as he tugs, pulling Jimin to him. 

“Jihyun, I am talking to Jungkook right now, what have we said about interrupting?”. 

“That is not okay” Jihyun says as he drops his head low. 

“Can we restart?” Jimin asks softly and Jihyun nods. 

“Appa, can you come see Spiderman fight Iron Man with me?” 

“Yes baby, I can. Good job Jihyunie” Jimin responds and kneels to give Jihyun a kiss. His son giggles happily as Jimin tickles him. 

“can Koo play too?”

“Huh… I-”

“I have to go home buddy, very adult stuff to do” Jungkook intervenes and Jimin appreciates the response. 

“No… Appa pleeeeeease” Jihyun cries to Jimin. 

“You heard him, he has a job baby, he can’t stay here forever, what have we talked about time?”

“That we should espect people’s time?”

“Respect, yes baby. He wanted to stay with you until I was here, and now he has to go” Jimin says and Jihyun whines a little bit. He bounces angrily as he protests Jimin’s choice. 

“Can he come back? Please appa” Jihyun asks and Jimin pauses a bit. He doesn’t want Jungkook to come back. Hell, he did not want him here in the first place, but Jihyun’s eyes are fo fucking huge and shiny and his lips are pouting and his cheeks are so fluffy and-

Jimin is just a weak man, so he does what a good father would do. 

“Another day baby, sure. But appa has to be here next time okay?” 

“Yay! Thank you appa thank you, muah” Jihyun gives Jimin a very wet kiss on purpose and Jimin laughs. Jihyun runs to the living room to wait until Jimin is done talking to Jungkook.

They; however, stay silent. Not really knowing what to say. 

“I-” 

“I will-”

They both say at the same time, and Jungkook is the first to continue his thoughts. 

“I will get going, Yoongi is probably pissed. I kinda cancelled a very important meeting for this”. 

“You really didn’t have to do that”. 

“I know I did not have to do it. But the kid is adorable and hard to resist, just like his father” Jungkook says, and Jimin rolls his eyes. After 7 years of knowing Jungkook, he has never not flirted with him in any conversation they have had. It is kinda admirable, his commitment for trying to make Jimin blush, but he is 29 now, and it does not work on him anymore. At least, partially.

“Go home Jungkook” 

“Thank you for the afternoon Jimin, Yoongi we can go” Jungkook says as they both walk to the living room again. 

“Sorry again Jimin” Yoongi says. He is standing awkwardly in the middle of the living room with Hoseok, they are both kinda just… there. Jimin wants to laugh. 

“It is okay, you are the only Jeon I tolerate”. 

“Honestly same” Hoseok agrees, and Yoongi nods in agreement. 

“Hey!” Jungkook says, and they all ignore the interjection. “What did I do to not be tolerated?”. 

“Exist? I don’t know” Jimin replies and they all laugh. Jungkook frowns but his scent is still soft and chocolaty, which Jimin unconsciously sniffs a little more than he should. 

“We will get going, I will see you tomorrow minie” Hoseok says as he grabs his bag from the floor. 

“I will see you, and thank you again for watching him, I really appreciate it” 

“Jimin, it is never a problem. And this time, no one got a sugar rush, broke anything, or disappeared, I think I am improving”. 

“You did have other people with you so…” 

“These guys? They wouldn’t know a thing about what to do in case of an emergency” Hoseok says and Jimin kinda agrees. 

“I am done being diminished, we are leaving” Jungkook says as he walks to the door and opens it. “Bye Jimin, bye buddy” 

“Bye mister koo” Jihyun shouts, not taking his eyes off his toys. Jimin replies soft goodbyes as he closes the door behind them, finally alone with his son in his home.

He makes sure to feed Jihyun dinner after they play a little more. Jihyun has been very picky with food lately, but due to his good mood, Jimin was able to get a little creative with his dinner today. He gave Jihyun a bath and put him to bed when the time came. 

When he was finally actually alone, he poured himself a glass of wine. As he starts to get a little tipsy, memories rush to him like wildfire. Jungkook always throws him off balance, that is why he likes to be away from him as much as he can. 

His wolf goes insane, and Jimin hates that. His wolf was especially happy by seeing Jihyun being so welcoming and excited to be around the alpha, not even knowing him well. 

It is so rare for Jihyun to open up to adults, but this was so easy. They are drawn to each other, and Jimin wants to cry. This scenario has run through his mind so many times, but nothing could have prepared him to actually live it. 

He does not know what to do, no one knows about how deep he and Jungkook go, not even Namjoon and Taehyung. He has  been holding this all on his own for so long, it feels so heavy.

Jimin feels tears run down his eyes as he pounders. He can’t separate them now, Jungkook’s wolf is probably going crazy in his head, and Jimin feels awfully selfish for even thinking about just dropping the whole thing and getting them away from each other. 

Can he do that? Can he let his selfishness win? Can he deprive his son from this experience because he can’t handle shattering his own ego and stubbornness? he doesn’t know, he feels so torn and frozen over his decisions 7 years ago. He still stands by them, he knows why he did it, but now, remembering his son's happy face showing him his new spiderman toy, a toy given to him by a stranger nonetheless, makes Jimin’s heart break. 

He can’t do this anymore. He can’t keep beating himself down for this. So he picks up his phone and dials the first emergency contact he has saved on his phone. It beeps as he calls the number, until he sees the call being answered on his screen. 

“Tae?” Jimin says as he hiccups through his tears. 

“Hey Jimin- are you crying? what is wrong?”

“I fucked up, I fucked up so bad I- I don’t know what to do-” Jimin says as he puts his phone down on the kitchen isle where he is sitting, trying to wipe his tears and blurry vision. 

“What happened? Is Jihyun okay? What is going on?”

“I-it is Jungkook” Jimin whispers, almost like the name is forbidden. Taehyung knows Jimin’s disdain for Jungkook, although he doesn’t really know why. It doesn’t come up often, but when it does, Jimin is the first to drop the topic.

“Jungkook? What did he do? Did he do something?”.

“He is the father” silence, Taehying’s breath hitches on the other line as he takes in what Jimin confessed. 

“What are you saying Jimin?” Taehying asks carefully, as if the truth might hurt both of them. 

“H-he is Jihyun’s father”.

🦋

As a good friend would do, Taehyung wastes no time before running (literally) to Jimin’s house to console him. It doesn’t take him long before he reaches Jimin’s apartment, although it is late, and Jimin has to wake up early the next day, he gladly accepts the affection from his best friend. 

It is weird finally admitting this to someone, he spent the last six years doing what he could to take Jungkook off his mind, to pretend that Jihyun spawned into existence without an alpha father. But every time he looked at Jungkook, his heart hurt. He felt miserable for so long, battling with his choices that led him to this moment. He feels a weight off his shoulder being lift up as he finally opens up to Taehyung about all of this. 

“Now that you mention it, Jihyun looks so much like Jungkook” Taehyung says as he snags another piece of fried chicken from the pile. They have had this tradition since they were young, every time one of them is sad, they get together and eat their sadness away, bonding over their shared love for fried chicken from their favorite food chain. 

“Don't I know it? I look at my son everyday and all I see is that man. I was scared for so long that they would meet and Jungkook would recognize himself or something” Jimin says as he finishes his bite, swallowing roughly as his throat aches from all the crying. 

“How did he behave when they were playing, did it seem like he knew something?”

“I… I don’t think so. He was just so eager to please, he looked like a kicked puppy when he left. Jihyun too, he was literally begging for Jungkook to stay, and you know he never acts like this around strangers, especially-”. 

“Alphas, right” They both sit quiet as they let the information sit. Jimin intuitively knows that their wolves might have recognized each other, but he does not want that to be reality. He is not ready for this. 

“Jimin, you know I love you to death” Taehyung says as he hands Jimin another piece. 

“I sense a ‘but’ coming”. 

“Buuut” Taehyung continues as he drags on the word. “I think we both know that this is going to eat away at you. I am not a parent, so I have no idea how you feel, and I can only tell you this as an outsider, but wouldn’t it be better if you just talked to Jungkook? Easier said than done though” 

“I-” Jimin sits there without much of a rebuttal, he knows it is the right thing to do, but as bad as it sounds, he doesn’t want to do the right thing. He has been doing fine as a single parent, why should it change now?

“It is just a suggestion, but I think everyone, Jihyun included, has the right to know the truth, not only for his sake, but for you too” Jimin lets a sob escape him. It is all conversations he already had in his head. And he hates how his mind is so stubborn, how his strong will over the years has rotted his need to change. He wants Jihyun to be happy, his son is the love of his life, and he will do whatever it takes to make sure he is okay. Will Jungkook be able to provide that? Will that really make things better? To introduce this stranger to their lives?

“I am scared Tae” Jimin says as he wipes his tears, and Taehyung hurries to hug his friend again, his scent of oranges and cinnamon invades Jimin’s nostril, relaxing him a little bit as he is rocked back and forward. 

“I am scared of Jungkook hurting him. I don’t care if he hurts me, hell, I don’t care what happens to me. I just want to protect Jihyun, but I tried to do it so hard I might have stolen the opportunity for him to get a life without all of the hurt we experienced before. I feel awful” Jimin finally admits, and he can’t help but cry harder. 

“Jimin, you don’t know what Jungkook is gonna do or not-”

“I can’t gamble my son’s safety, I just can’t” Jimin wipes his tears, he hiccups as he formulates his thoughts. “I know Jungkook isn’t a bad person, I would not have let him into my home if I thought that, but what if he can’t deal with the responsibility? He is the youngest, never had to take care of another human being, let alone a baby. What if it is too much and he dips? What if he doesn’t even want to take care of Jihyun? What about his reputation? The media around the Jeons is fucking insane, waiting for anything to happen, I don’t want to expose my son to that, I don’t want to be part of that, getting called a goldigger or some shit” 

“This is a lot of speculation. I guess we could stay like this, but Jihyun will grow up eventually and ask, then what? What if Jungkook himself starts getting suspicious? There are so many things none of us can control, we can’t know what Jungkook is gonna do, or how he is going to react, but this is clearly killing you” Taehyung says as he reaches to hold Jimin’s hand and squeezes it. 

“I will support you no matter what, if you hid this from me of all people, it must have really been something you have been struggling with. But I truly think you should give this a chance, at least talk to him” 

“I don’t know-” Jimin is interrupted by the ring of his phone on the table. His assistant is calling him, at 10pm of all hours, which he finds very weird. 

“Just a second” Jimin says as he picks up the phone and picks up the phone. “Yuna? Hello? What is wrong?”

“Hello mister Park, I apologize profusely for calling this late, but I was looking over your schedule for the month and you have not confirmed your presence at the Jeon’s fundraiser. It was supposed to be sent by yesterday, but I guess it got pushed aside in importance because of the merge. I got an email a few minutes ago requesting an answer by the end of the day. I am so sorry for this” 

“ The what fundraiser?” Jimin exclaims and immediately puts his phone on speaker, Taehyuing’s brows furrowed inquisitely, not knowing what is going on. 

“ It is the annual fundraiser for the children’s hospital the Jeon’s sponsor, I guess it is supposed to be pretty important” 

“How did I not know of this?” Jimin says. He does not recall any annual fundraiser that he has personally ever attended from the Jeons. 

“You said no two years ago and told me, and I quote ‘tell me about it again when hell boils over’ so I always said you were not going, but because you are handling the merge, I thought it would be good for you to at least know about it this year” Jimin wants to slap himself, it feels like the world is playing tricks on him. He guesses past Jimin was onto something, he did not care to be in the same space as Jungkook for more than the requested time, but it makes sense for him to go this year. It would look good on the company, but he genuinely can’t get himself to reason going to this. 

“He will go” Taehyung says abruptly and Jimin gasps. 

“Tae!”

“Ouh, hi mister Kim!” Yuna giggles as he replies, and Jimin rolls his eyes. Taehyung has always had the ability to make friends everywhere, which Jimin adores, but the fact that even his assistant can’t help but respond to his voice is amusing. 

“Told you to call me Taehyung, and Jimin is going” 

“What the fuck” Jimin says, gently slapping his friend on his arm. Taehyung mutes the call before answering. 

“This is a good chance to just test the waters and talk to him like a normal person. No beefs or petty remarks, if you want to solve this situation, you have to at least get to know the guy” 

“ We went to the same college and I gave birth to his son, I know him well enough”

“Yeah? When is his birthday?” Taehyung asks, crossing his arms to his chest defensively. 

“Somwhere this year, and every other year?” Jimin tries to argue, but of course it is a weak argument. Jimin knows very little to nothing about Jungkook besides the things he has either heard or read, or Jungkook has said to him directly. Taehyung laughs as he continues: 

“Yeah, you are going” he affirms as he unmutes the call and continues “Put it in his schedule Yuna, he is going to the charity” 

“okay Mr. Ki- Taehyung” Yuna answers and Jimin sighs in defeat. 

“Okay but what am I even gonna wear? Is there a dress code?” 

“ It is all white” Yuna responds. 

“I don’t even have a white suit”. 

“Then we have some shopping to do” 

🦋

Jimin stands with his pristine white suit in front of the Jeon mansion. He is not familiar with it, as he has avoided being within a mile away from Jungkook at a time. It is decorated carefully, not too extravagant, but definitely appears to be an exclusive party. The lights around the driveway make a path to the main entrance of the house. The big, wooden doors are open wide, showing the inside of the home as people start to arrive. Laughter and music can be heard from inside Jimin’s car as he arrives in front of the house. 

He carefully steps out, and is greeted with the security checking his invite and guiding him inside the lavish house. Everyone is dressed to the part in their white attire, hands busy with glasses of expensive champagne and snacks passed around in silver platters. Jimin stands in the foyer, waiting. For what? He does not know. He begged for at least one of his friends to accompany him, but they were all busy with something. Which if Jimin is honest, he guesses they were lying. This is only because they made it clear how much they want Jimin to talk to Jungkook alone. 

Jimin is so thankful for the friends he has, how they volunteered immediately to take care of Jihyun for the night so Jimin can get a little break. But the worst part about having amazing friends is that their advice tends to be the most reasonable most of the time. 

“Not in a million years” Jimin had said while they shopped for Jimin’s suit, his scent a bit sour at the prospect of talking about such a sensitive topic in public. 

“For a lawyer, you are tragically afraid of confrontation” Jin says as he takes a sip of his coffee. Jin and Taehyung decided to help Jimin pick his clothes for the event while Namjoon watched over Jihyun. It is helpful, since Jimin can not remember the last time he has actually shopped for himself, and not for toys or school materials for his son.

“This is different, this is my son we are talking about. Jungkook could ruin my life over this” Jimin says as he puts on the 4th suit jacket they have tried at the store. 

“He would never do that Jimin” Taehyung interjects. 

“How do you know he wouldn’t?” 

“Jimin, as much as Jihyun might have been born out of a mistake, I don’t think you would ever have a son with an alpha that could ruin your life” 

“It has happened before tho” Jimin says, and the room gets quiet. His last relationship with Hajoon is always a touchy subject they avoid, but in situations like this, Jimin thinks he has nothing to hide. 

“That was different, you were in a horrible situation that you did not deserve. But it does not mean it is going to happen again” Jin says as he helps Jimin button his jacket. 

“I… I am scared” Jimin confesses, his voice chokes up. He glances at his friends for validation as his fears begin to creep in. 

“We know, Jimin” Jin says as he gets up from his seat and goes to stand in front of Jimin. “But I think… I think you should at least give it a chance, and if Jungkook dares to hurt you or Jihyun, I will make sure he suffers, don’t care how much money he has” 

Jimin sighs, he knows his friends mean well, and that they are right in a way, but he still struggles to relate to the words of comfort. They don’t have kids, they don’t understand the fear of having something hurt your pup, or worse, take them away from you. Jimin knows that realistically, Jungkook would not hurt them, but hiding a child from him for six years can render someone’s behavior unpredictable.  

“Thank you guys, I… I will see what I can do okay? I need time to think” 

That was the end of that conversation, and now Jimin is here, in his white suit that hugs his body just right. His blonde hair is styled back, his face with a slight hue of make up to accentuate his features. Taehyung made sure he looked spotless when he left the house, and although this is the fanciest party Jimin has ever attended, he feels like a spotlight is on him as he walks through the house, champagne in his hand. 

He arrives at the back of the house where a kitchen with tall glass windows open to the back yard, if he can even call it that. It is an open garden, now decorated with tables, white flowers decorate each corner of it. Music sets the ambience as a band performs to the guests while they get their meals and drinks figured out. 

Jimin looks around, he walks around looking for the table seat assigned to his name to sit down in one of the round tables. It is a hard fit, but he eventually manages to find his name on an empty table; he finally sits down and takes a deep breath. 

He looks around the table for the other names on the assigned seats, no one he really knows for the two seats next to him. He shivers a little, although it is mid summer, the night today feels quite chilly for him. As he hugs his arms to provide a bit of warmth and continues to try to read the other name cards around him. Choi Jaehkyun, Jeon Minsoo- 

Jeon Minsoo? Like, the Alpha Jeon? 

Jimin pauses, don’t tell him-

“Cold Park?” Jimin hears from behind him, and he cusses at himself. Jimin turns around to find the voice that called for him, Jeon Jungkook, standing there next to his brother. Jimin should have guessed he would have set with them. He is here to represent one of Jeon’s most valuable business partners, of course he was going to sit with them.

 He hoped he didn’t, and now, it gives him no excuse to not talk to Jungkook like his friends intended. But he guesses that in a table with 9 other people, they won’t have much room for privacy. 

“Not at all” Jimin lies, he doesn't know why he lied, but he guesses it is just default to shut down conversation with Jungkook immediately.

“Good evening Jimin” Yoongi offers and Jimin replies his greeting back. Jungkook drags his chair back as he sits down, two seats away from Jimin, Yoongi following suit next to his brother. Jimin listens to them talking with each other, he does not try to start a conversation, he is nearly drunk enough yet. He picks up his glass of champagne and downs it at once.

It’s gonna be a long night. 

🦋

Jungkook can not say he was not surprised to see Jimin here. He says that because he is the one that made the seating arrangements. Sue him okay! He wanted a chanse to be close to Jimin without the awkwardness that comes from them meeting at their offices. He assumed here, he would have a better chance of talking to him, but he did not want to make it too obvious. So he made Jimin sit a few seats away from him, far enough to see and talk casually, but not so close that Jimin gets fed up and leaves, Jungkook bets he would do it. 

Jungkook was stunned enough to know Jimin took the invitation in the first place. His assistant always rejects their invitation, and Jungkook is incredibly curious to see what exactly changed. So when their food and drinks arrive at the table and guests are settled in, Jungkook starts: 

“So, I am so glad everyone is here today, especially Mister Park, we are so lucky you were able to join us this year, your firm is a very precious partner of ours” Jungkook stops the laugh about to come out when he looks at Jimin’s stunned face as he is addressed directly. He puts his champagne down before answering: 

“Ah yes… huh- I am glad to be here too. I figured it would only be suitable for me to come since we have the merge coming up. And I could not miss Omega Jeon’s famous catering” He says, putting on the most lawyer smile he can muster. 

“Ouh dear I am glad you are here, I always thought it was such a pity that you two lost so much contact over the years, I remember you were such a great student” Jungkook sighs. 

It is not unusual for his mom to get nostalgic over her teaching days, although to Jungkook, it stirs up weird emotions. Jungkook has always been proud of his family and their achievements, and although he knows he is a nepo baby, being called one used to get on his nerves. And with your mom being on the board of directors and a professor at one of the most prestigious law schools in South Korea, everyone made sure he remembered that. 

It isn’t like he is not grateful for the opportunities his parents gave him, but after years of people using his status to get connections to his family, instead of connecting to him, he learned to avoid the conversation. Which is why he always found Jimin intriguing, he knew who he was the second he saw him at that cafeteria line, but still made sure to treat him like a rock stuck in his shoe. Which kinda turned Jungkook on, but he digresses.  

“Thank you Omega Jeon, I always cherish my law school days, but I much prefer not having those 200 question exams” Jimin responds as he giggles, and Jungkook could swear his laughs lightens the whole table. 

He consciously tries to control his scent, which is rare, since he is usually not scared of showing his emotions, but Jimin is making his scent malfunction. It is a bit too strong for comfort, but can anyone blame him? His hair is all slicked back, and his smokey makeup today makes his brown eyes pop so much, his lips a graceful tint of pink, his cheeks reddish from the cool breeze. 

Jungkook has always found Jimin beautiful, since the first time he laid his eyes on him, but lately, he does not know what changed. Maybe it was him finally learning a bit more about Jimin, meeting his pup, seeing small cracks of his life that color his picture a bit more. How neatly decorated his house was, the many hints of flowery themes clashing with Jihyun’s action figurines all over the house. How his house smelled so comforting, familiar. It felt like a home, not like his cold, lifeless, devoid of spider man action figurines apartment. 

“I always told her she was too hard on her students” Alpha Jeon interjects. Jungkook looks at his tanned skin from his vacation, and he smiles. His dad can be so stuck up, but when it comes to his mom, he will do anything. Jungkook knows that his dad hates being in the sun for long periods of time, he remembers their vacations to jeju growing up, and how his dad would always stay under the umbrella or inside. 

His mom? The absolute opposite, she loved getting tan and being near the water with a nice margarita. So Jungkook could only assume the tan was against his will, which he also assumes was all due to his mom. 

“I knew my students' potential! That is why I pushed them, Jimin used to do great in those, you too kookie” 

“Thanks mom, but I barely made it out alive from those” Jungkook replies. 

“They weren’t that hard…” she ponders, and the conversation continues to move casually. They keep on discussing business as always, since the rest of the table is always close business partners with his dad. 

Jungkook can’t help to notice how much Jimin is drinking, not like it is any of his business, and it is not an alarming amount anyways, but he can see the two finished glasses of wine as he is waiting for his third. Jungkook tries to ignore it, but when he sees Jimin try to get up to go to the bathroom and stumble, he takes action. 

“Huh- Jimin I have some things to discuss about the merge, do you mind talking to me for a second?” Jungkook asks as Jimin puts his serviette on the table and returns his chair to its initial position. 

“Huh, sure?” Jimin responds, and he can’t help but notice his eyes rolling as he responds. They walk away from the table together and reach the backyard doors that lead to the inside of the house. Jungkook settles to stand at one of the high tables on the foyer, where other people are chatting and drinking champagne, mellow music from the band outside still vividly heard inside. 

“Are you okay?” Jungkook asks, and Jimin lets out an exacerbated sigh before answering. 

“Why do you care?” Jungkook is taken back, he sounds snappier than usual, which Jungkook can attribute to the alcohol. 

“Because I can Jimin. You don’t seem fine-”

“Of course I am not, you are stealing my clients!” Is this what it is about? Jungkook did meet a new client that had transferred his care from Jimin’s firm, but he did not know it was directly a client that had worked with him. 

“Really Park? This again? I have told you before, I am not doing this on purpose. Things happen, why would I steal clients from you?” 

“What? Because you are so much better than me? Miss me with that Jeon, I need to piss, now get out of my way” Jimin does not wait for his response before passing past him to look for the bathroom. 

“Wait, Jimin-” Jungkook follows after him as he sees Jimin walk through the halls, even for Jungkook who has lived here most of his life, the mansion still feels like a maze. 

“What do you want ?”

“What is really going on? Did I do something wrong-”

“Why do you even care? ” Jimin replies, not stopping his steps, he opens a few doors in the hallway before stumbling into an actual bathroom, he sighs in relief. 

“Fucking finally” Jimin says as he gets in. Jungkook decides that for him, the conversation is not over, so he gets inside the bathroom with Jimin and closes the door behind him. “What the fuck? Get out!” 

“No” Jungkook says, but he can feel the fear of God creeping inside as Jimin stares at him with the most viciously threatening look he could have imagined. 

“Get. Out!” Jimin punctuates his words with his pointed indicator finger being nudged at the door. But Jungkook does not budge. 

“No, I want to know what's actually going on. I am sick of this animosity for no reason. We used to get along, at least I think so. Remember the party? You just ran away and didn’t say a word. What am I missing? Please tell me” Jungkook pleads, and Jimin stops for a second. Something flashes in his eyes, it looks like regret, or remorse? Jungkook does not know, he is so hard to read. 

“ I- I just find you annoying, that is all. Now can you leave? Or are you gonna stand there to watch me pee?” Jimin responds. He reaches for the door handle behind Jungkook to twist it open, but Jungkook stops Jimin’s hand, by placing his hand over it. 

“That can’t be it, that is such a cop out answer. Look, I want us to work together, and I want this merge to happen smoothly. We can’t do that if we are fighting, please just give me a chance” Jungkook says as he looks directly into Jimin’s eyes, which are sparkling under the white light above them in the spacious bathroom. 

And although they have so much space around them, Jungkook can feel Jimin so close. He is right in front of him, his lips tinted red from the wine, his scent undetectable, but a slight perfume is noticeable on him. If he could only reach out to him and smell it, he is so close…

“Whatever, I don’t have time for this”. The conversation is halted as Jungkook hears Jimin’s phone ring in the pocket of his white jeans.

 “Just a second” he says as he swipes his phone and answers the call. 

“Hello? What? Then how in the hell am I getting home? Okay… I get it, thank you, have a good night” Jimin ends the call and puts the phone back in his pocket. He pinches his temple with his fingers and grunts. Jungkook thinks Jimin might be feeling Jungkook’s eyes on him, because he speaks up:

“Stop looking at me like that”

“Like what?” Jungkook peeps out. 

“Like you want to ask what is going on really badly” Jimin says as he turns to look himself in the mirror to fix up his hair.  

“Well… what is going on?” Jungkook asks, and Jimin looks at him through the mirror. Jungkook can see Jimin battling with himself on whether to tell him or not. Which he eventually shrugs and decides to just come clean. 

“My driver had an emergency, now I have to find another ride home, and ubers-”

“Don’t really come to this area, right…” Jungkook finishes the sentence. It is true that ubers are scarce around this part of the town. He thinks it is because rich people always find a way to move around with their personal drivers.

“ I could take you home” Jungkook suggests, and Jimin bursts out laughing. 

“Good joke Jeon, but I am not getting in a car with you” Jimin mocks. 

“Why not? I have taken your son home before, remember? In my car” that seems to quiet Jimin. Sore spot? maybe, but Jungkook is just making a point, how different would it even be? 

“Right, but don’t you have a whole event to attend? I mean, you are the face of the company anyways” Jimin asks, his arms crossed defensively, emphasizing his already displeased tone. 

“It would be quick”.

“My house is almost 50 minutes away” 

“Then it wouldn’t be that quick” Jungkook replies, and that makes Jimin giggle, which Jungkook is starting to crave to see more and more. 

“You really don’t have to do this”.

“But I want to help, and I don’t mind” Jungkook replies earnestly, and he watches as Jimin considers. It is only before Jimin sighs in defeat and uncrosses his arms. 

“Fine, but at least let me pee first for fuck’s sake”. 

🦋

Jimin can not comprehend how he ended up in this situation. One minute, he was just trying to pee. He admits he had a couple more drinks than he had planned , but he was stressing on that table.

First, he had to sit close to the man who is the father of his child, which Jimin is deadly afraid of confessing to, while also sitting next to his family and business partners. Even more, he also had to talk business for 2 straight hours while his mind was going 150 mph. 

He is honestly tired, he really wanted to tell Jungkook to fuck off and call someone else to pick him up. But he let himself have this one, and he told himself that he can sit quiet for 50 minutes while Jungkook takes him home. 

It is a bit awkward. It is completely quiet in the car, Jimin’s choice, since he is not in the mood for music right now. But he thinks this might have been a bad choice, since it threatens the inevitable destiny of one of them having to start up a conversation. Jimin did not have to wait more than 10 minutes for Jungkook to open his mouth to ask him something. 

“How is Jihyun?” and of course, he had to ask about their son. Jimin is not oblivious to how Jungkook behaves around him, his almost primal instinct to act. Jimin feels that everyday, and he feels so guilty for not letting Jungkook experience the arc of satisfaction that is taking care of his pup. 

“Good” That is all Jimin offers. He isn’t ready to open up about this, no matter how many wine glasses he has had. 

“He really seemed to like the figurine I gave him. I am sorry again for overstepping on that… but I think it was worth it, right?” Jungkook says, and Jimin can feel how much Jungkook is trying to not say the wrong thing, as if Jimin was a ticking time bomb. 

“He… He liked it I guess” Jimin replies. “He even sleeps with it” Jimin cringes, he shouldn’t have said that. It makes it too real to make connections like that, but he guesses if he has to eventually tell him about Jihyun… 

“Really? He sleeps with it?” Jungkook asks with his eyes hopeful as he looks directly at Jimin while they wait for the traffic light. Jungkook's scent blooms softly, and Jimin heavily fights the urge to take a deeper breath than he should. Chocolate fills the fancy car as he waits for an answer. 

“Yeah, huh… he has nightmares sometimes so he likes to have something to snuggle with sometimes and all of that” Jimin responds awkwardly. 

“Nightmares? Why? Is something wrong?” Jungkook asks and Jimin’s heart melts at the cute frown that settles in Jungkook’s face, exactly like the one Jihyun makes. 

“No not like that, it sometimes happens with pups, he is alright” Jimin leaves out the part that according to their pediatric doctor, it happens in pups with an absent wolf parent. “Although it is getting better…” because of you, he leaves out. 

“That’s good, that’s good” Jungkook replies. “How old is he? I guess I didn’t ask” Jimin freezes at that, he guesses lying is his best bet, but his mouth gets the best of him.

“Six, he turns seven in a month” Jimin replies, and he almost wants to slap himself in the head with honesty. 

“That’s great…” Jungkook trails off, and Jimin squints. 

“What?”

“Huh… can I get him a gift?” Jungkook asks, almost hopeful. 

“Hah” Jimin laughs “Isn’t the figurine a gift?”

“Yeah but that was not a birthday gift, this one will be” Jungkook explains, and Jimin rolls his eyes. 

“I will think about it” .

🦋

When they got to Jimin’s door, the conversation had already turned a bit more casual, maybe it is because the alcohol finally settled in his stomach, or maybe Jungkook is quite charming, but they were able to talk about things other than Jihyun or business. Jungkook informed him out of nowhere that he is getting his kitchen renovated, which Jimin joked that that sentence sounded like a sexual innuendo,  Jungkook shuckled in response, which he then answered with ‘I never said it wasn’t’. This made Jimin laugh, and the conversation flowed smoothly after. 

Jungkook complimented his apartment, saying that the flower themed vases and decoration made it look cosy, and that he wished his apartment looked like that. This also led to him talking a bit more about the person he used to live with, his ex partner, which did not make Jimin a bit jealous at all. He didn’t go into too much detail, but he explained how much his life was bland in terms of color and decoration before and after the relationship. Jimin advised him to hire a decorator, which Jungkook opposed, saying that he wants his decoration to come naturally to him, which Jimin understands.

When they got to Jimin’s apartment, Jungkook made sure to round his car and open the door for him, which Jimin rolled his eyes to protest, but was too tired (and drunk) to not just take the offer. Jimin insisted that he could go up to his apartment by himself, but Jungkook replied with ‘what if something happens in the elevator?’, which Jimin laughed at, and told Jungkook that the prospect is ridiculous. He followed him anyway, and now they find themselves here, the elevator dinging as they exit the doors, walking to Jimin’s apartment. 

“Thank you for driving me home” Jimin says, and he tries to not sound snarky this time. Jungkook’s company was… pleasant, to say the least. He didn’t know he would laugh as much, or roll his eyes at Jungkook’s corniness as much, but it was still nice. 

“No problem, I just… I wanted to help. You also looked very pretty tonight, and I wanted all the alphas in the party to see you leave with me” Jungkook says, a slur in his voice as he steps a bit closer to Jimin, who has propped himself against the door. Now that makes Jimin pause for a little. Jungkook has flirted with him a few times today, hell, he flirts with him every time he sees him, but not like this. 

“All this effort for a business partner? Careful Jeon, they might think you have favorites” 

“What if I do?” Jungkook replies, and Jimin looks at him, really looks at him. His round eyes just never change. Jungkook is always dressed in fancy suits, hair parted perfectly, so pristine and put together. But his eyes… they are indeed a door to his soul. So big, and shiny, expressive. They say everything Jungkook is feeling, and now, they are looking at Jimin with desire, lust. 

“Don’t want to jeopardize your other business relationships”

“I would jeopardize a lot for you” Jungkook says, taking another step closer. 

“A complete stranger?” Jimin asks. 

“You are no stranger Jimin” Jungkook replies, his hand carefully swiping the stray strand of hair off Jimin’s eyes, the touch sending goosebumps straight to his spine. 

“You don’t know me” Jimin whispers, a last minute attempt to maybe back up, to say something that might stop what is going to happen, but his feet are planted in place. He is frozen in time, his mind fighting internally with his wolf, who has craved Jungkook’s touch for so long. 

“Let me then, please” 

“I…” Jimin pauses. “I don’t know-”

“Can I kiss you Jimin?” Jungkook asks, almost desperately. He can feel their wolves trying to reach for each other. He feels it every time they are together, some deep connection that Jimin tries so hard to ignore, to put away in the back of his night

But he does not know if it is the three glasses of champagne and wine, or if he is just tired of fighting himself so hard, but he replies a small yes and lets himself go. 

🦋

Jungkook really thought he was taking a long shot here. When he asked Jimin if he could kiss him, he was fully prepared for they worse. He thought about the multiple scenarios in the car: Jimin could tell him to fuck off, he could slap him, he could just say no, or he could tell Jungkook to never come close to him or his pup again. But almost none of them had the possibility of him actually kissing Jimin.

Jungkook did not wait to dive into those pillowy lips again. He remembers so vividly, his lips feel like heaven, taste like heaven. Jungkook is fighting every urge to just strip him down and fuck him right here in front of the door, but he does not want to scare Jimin off.

He reaches for Jimin’s face with his other hand, holding his cheeks gently as he deepens the kiss. He can feel Jimin letting go little by little, his arms that were once still on both sides of his body, are now hooked around Jungkook’s neck, seeking after his lips too. 

“Fuck” Jungkook manages to get out before diving into the kiss again. He tries to be a little bold, he draws his hands away from Jimin’s face to guide them towards his ass, still tight in these white wide leg pants. He gives it a squeeze, then another, and what started as an innocent touch, becomes continuous fondling. 

Jungkook draws Jimin closer ( if that is even possible), and leaves his lips to dive into Jimin’s neck. The feeling is euphotic, his alpha roaring inside him to claim, to bite the beautiful omega currently falling apart in his arms. 

He can’t say it isn’t bothering him how much he wishes he could smell Jimin properly. How much he wants to smell his arousal, how much he wants to smell his scent bloom as he pleasures him. 

Jungkook continues his intrusion to Jimin’s neck, licking the sensitive spot next to Jimin’s scent gland, making him moan out loud. This jolts them out of their trance, realizing they are still standing outside of Jimin’s apartment. 

“Do you want to do this?” Jungkook asks earnestly, and that makes Jimin pause for a second, they are both panting, trying to gain their breath. 

“I don’t know Jungkook, this can get really messy” Jimin admits, and Jungkook considers. It could get really messy, it is not like they have never hooked up, but this is different. Their professional careers are on the line, but as Jungkook said, he would jeopardize a lot for Jimin, but he knows that with a pup in the middle of all of this, he can’t get his own selfishness be the center of emotions here. 

“We don’t have to do anything Jimin” Jungkook reassures, and he can see Jimin relax a little bit. But Jungkook continues “But I want to eat you out so badly” Jungkook says as he gropes his ass a little harder than before. 

“Jungkook…” 

“Please” Jungkook whispers next to Jimin’s neck, his nose gently brushing against his scent gland, bringing shivers to Jimin’s body. “Remember?” Jungkook continues. “how much you were screaming my name back then?”

Jungkook says as he takes his hands and puts them under Jimin’s pants, touching his ass more closely over his boxers. Jungkook brings his hands closer to spread Jimin’s cheeks apart, letting the smell of slick invade his nose. Jungkook prays no one chooses to leave their apartments right now. Jimin moans, more slick gushes out of his hole as Jungkook keeps talking.

“You smell so good, baby” Jungkook continues. “Let me make you feel good huh?” Jungkook begs, and is not like he minds, he would beg to have access to Jimin’s body any day of the week if he was allowed to. 

“Okay” 

🦋

Once inside, it feels like they are in a hurry. Jimin pounders if this is even a good decision, opening the possibility of them hooking up introduces too many margins for error. And Jimin being the control freak he is, the endless possibilities fog his mind. But he is too horny, and needy to think about consequences right now. 

They continue kissing like they have been starved, like they were in a rush to get to this point, to this kiss. Jungkook pulls back once they cross the foyer and reach the open kitchen, he turns Jimin around, and positions himself behind him, his chocolate scent covering Jimin whole. 

Jimin does not get a word out before Jungkook is sliding down, leaving a trail of kisses on his neck, his back, his arms. He kisses every surface of his body, and Jimin feels so naked, so vulnerable, even with all of his clothes on. As Jungkook gets to his knees, he bringings Jimin’s pants and boxers down with him, letting them fall to the ground, exposing Jimin’s perky ass. 

Jimin gasps, the cool air hits his bare legs, and he can feel the slick that had pooled between his cheeks drip down his legs slowly. Jimin can’t actually smell his scent, but the sweet, sugary scent of slick fills the entire kitchen. Jungkook growls at the site, Jimin can hear him curse and take a very deep breath. 

Jimin’s cheeks rose at the display, he can sense Jungkook fighting his wolf, maybe to not overwhelm Jimin, maybe because he knows Jungkook would pounce on him given the chance. But all that self restraint slips a little when Jungkook spreads his cheeks open once again, Jimin’s little cock twitches, pressed between his stomach and the counter, rubbing gently against the cold surface, making Jimin moan out loud once again. 

“Fuck, ah-”

“What is up baby?” Jungkook teased. “Haven’t even started yet” 

Jimin wants to tell him to fuck off, but his words are stopped as Jungkook licks a fat strip of slick right on top of his asshole and moans. The sound reverberates right through Jimin’s body, the vibrations of his voice against his body, moaning in pleasure as he eats Jimin out make his dick leak. Jungkook continues to only lick his hole, not really breaching it.

“More, I want more Jungkook” 

“what do you want baby? You need to tell me” Jungkook teases again, he kisses Jimin’s ass, worships it as he bites, and sucks and nibs his bottom, leaving red marks all over it. 

“Inside, need you inside” Jimin says, and shamelessly pushes his ass back more. Jungkook halts his movement and slaps his ass as a warning. Jimin gasps, more slick drips down his leg as his arousal only rises. He wants to get some friction on his dick, any friction he can get, so he rocks his hips back and forth, his cock rubbing against the cold granite. Jungkook is not pleased by this, so he grips Jimin’s hips tightly, holding him in place. 

“You take what I give you” Jungkook warns, and Jimin stills. He lets out a quiet sob, he is so horny, and wants to come so bad. 

“Jungkook, please, please I need-” Jimin pleads, and Jungkook seems to concede when he finally breaches Jimin’s rim, the tip of his tongue entering his hole deliciously. Jungkook continues to eat him out with hunger, he grunts as he tastes Jimin’s slick that keeps gushing out in waves. His chin and neck, wet and sloppy as the liquid drips down his face. 

Jimin’s focus is halted when Jungkook inserts one of his fingers inside of him, curling it so it hits Jimin deep right away. 

Jungkook gets up from his kneeling position to suck Jimin’s ear, another finger joins as he pumps it inside and out over and over again, feeling Jimin’s walls squeeze around the digits. 

When a third finger is finally added, Jimin can feel his hole stretching more and more, the initial burn gone as slick lubricates Jungkook’s digits. 

“Ah- harder, fuck me harder” 

“I’m not fucking you” Jungkook replies in his ear. “If I was fucking you, you wouldn’t be able to make demands and misbehave” 

Jimin whines as his fingers dive deeper inside of him, hitting his prostate repeatedly, giving him no room to breathe. 

“When I fuck you” Jungkook continues. “I will make sure the only things you say are my name, please and thank you” 

Jimin can’t say anything as he feels closer and closer to coming untouched. He rolls his hips at the motion of his fingers, doing all he can to chase his incoming orgasm. 

“Gonna be begging to live with my cock inside you, like the pretty omega you are” Jungkook says, and that riles Jimin on enough to reply a very weak “fuck you”. But of course, Jungkook hears it. 

“Yeah? Fuck me?” Jungkook replies. He takes his fingers from inside swiftly and unbuckles his jeans. He pulls his hard cock out, which makes Jimin’s eyes go wide. Bigger than he remembers, and thicker than he recalls being able to take. But Jungkook does not move to insert his cock inside, instead, he spreads apart Jimin’s legs with a light tap and positions himself in the middle. 

“How about I fuck your thighs instead?” Jungkook says as he begins to rock his hips forward, his cock sliding between Jimin’s wet legs, providing enough friction to make Jungkook moan out loud, his head leaned back as he grips Jimn’s hips tightly. 

“Jungkook” Jimin whines, resting his head on Jungkook's shoulder, arching his back. “Put it inside, please” 

Jungkook does not listen, and speeds up his thrusts as he continues to fuck Jimin’s tighs, chasing his own orgasm. He gives Jimin a warning slap on the ass again, and Jimin whimpers. 

“You are too drunk, baby” Jungkook replies softly. “I will fuck you another day, let me make you feel good like this for now” and he does. Jungkook finally takes Jimin’s cock in his hand, and it almost makes Jimin come right away. Jimin gasps as Jungkook starts to jerk him off while he keeps fucking Jimin’s thighs. 

Jimin feels high, like his body is not here. His wolf is finally content, not as content if he had a knot growing inside him, but this will do for now. He tunes out all of the voices screaming in his head, telling him he should get away, that this is too dangerous, too close. 

He lets himself listen to his wolf, to his needs. He feels the pressure in his stomach build and build until he can’t take it any longer. Jimin comes with Jungkook’s name in his month, squeezing his thighs to help Jungkook feel a bit more. 

Jungkook picks up some of the cum that falls in his hand and feeds a bit of it to Jimin’s mouth. He groans at the saltiness as Jungkook instructs him to lick, moving his tongue around his slicked fingers. 

“Such a dirty omega” Jungkook says. “Can’t wait to come inside you, make you feel my knot right here” Jungkook emphasizes his point by putting his other hand right on top of Jimin’s womb. Jimin can’t help the moan that escapes him, his wolf screams in his head at the prospect of the alpha knotting him.

“Do you want my knot baby?”

“Yes, want it, I want it” Jimin begs. “need your knot, ah-” it already feels like too much, Jungkook keeps stroking his cock, whispering in his ear, kissing his neck. He can’t help but to feel his cock chibbing up again in Jungkook’s hands, already leaking as his orgasm builds more and more. 

“You were cursing me out not too long ago, now you want my knot? Do you like my cock that much?” Jungkook whispers, and Jimin can feel his thrusts getting more sloppy, his orgasm nearing. 

“Y-yes, so big, would make me so full” Jimin replies, and he can’t help it anymore. He comes again, his dick pulsating what was leftover from the last orgasm. Jimin gasps as he lets go completely.

“Fuck, I’m gonna-” Jungkook comes right after, he milks his cock dry as he comes down from his high. 

He rests his face on Jimin’s neck as they both come to their senses. It quickly becomes a bit awkward, all the dirty talk and orgasms couldn’t save them from how weird this feels already. Jungkook makes the effort to pick up some paper towels and wet them to clean Jimin. Which he originally protests, since he was gonna shower anyways, but Jungkook insists. 

“So…”

“So…” Jungkook replies, and they both stand in his kitchen, smelling like sex, trying to figure out how to go from here.  

“I- I think I am getting a headache, gonna go freshen up then…”

“Yeah! Yeah for sure huh… it is getting late anyways so” Jungkook replies, moving slowly, towards the door. “I really enjoyed tonight, by the way”

“Yeah…” Jimin fidgets with his coat. “I think you should go” Jimin replies, and it sounds a lot more dry than he intended, but he is struggling a little with his emotions. 

“Right… I will go” Jungkook says as he opens the door and looks back to Jimin, standing at the end of the hallway. 

“I enjoyed it too, Jungkook” that is all Jimin gets out. Jungkook smiles at him and then closes the door. Leaving Jimin alone in the cold kitchen, his hair messy, his lips swollen. 

He takes a shower and checks his phone for updates on Jiihyun from Jin and Namjoon. 

Jin [ 10:13 PM]: Hi mimi! Jihyun is in bed now, he was so sweet and played well tonight, didn’t finish his dinner (joon cooked today lol), so we got some pizza! Hope u dont mind uwu. And said he missed you! Gonna bring him tomorrow at around 11. Kisses!

Jimin smiles at the text, but a part of him breaks. This, Jungkook, can’t happen. It is too complicated. But he felt so at home in Jungkook’s arms, having him close, kissing him, praising him. It felt right, he felt whole. But what if it ends badly? What if he hurts him, or worse, his son? He just feels so lost and confused, and it does not help that he is sobering up. 

He rests his head on his pillow and closes his eyes, although he showered, Jungkook’s chocolate scent still lingers. He thinks about his pregnancy, how much he craved the alpha’s smell, how much pain he went through. How even Taehyung’s scent couldn’t calm his wolf down. How much it hurt to go through it alone, how his decision has doomed him to go through this much regret right now. 

So he cries, he cries until he feels better and sleep washes over him. 

🦋

One month is a long time, at least that is what Jungkook thinks. It has been exactly one month since the fundraiser. And also one month since he last saw Jimin or had any contact with the man. If Jungkook could guess, he would say Jimin is actively avoiding him and giving him the old ‘this was all a mistake and I regret hooking up’ treatment. For the second time.

He can’t say this hasn’t given him time to think, because it has. And he realized how enamored he actually is over the omega. He tried to blame it on nostalgia at first. The feisty, cute omega he hooked up with, being in his life again would definitely stir up some feelings, but not this many.

 He can’t get the omega out of his mind. The way he moaned his name, how beautiful he looked under the moonlight in his suit. The only thing Jungkook could think about was claiming him as his. He hated how the other alphas were looking at him, his wolf felt so bothered and unhinged. Those feelings all culminated to eating out Jimin in his kitchen, which he does not regret one bit; however, he wishes he would have said more afterwards. 

He thought he messed up astronomically, so it is to his surprise when Jimin invites Jungkook to his son’s birthday party. Jungkook almost did not believe the text he received. Technically it was not Jimin who invited him, but Hoseok. Since he and Yoongi have officially started dating (thank God), Jungkook was invited by proxy, since the party is in Hoseok’s huge back yard and Yoongi is going. 

Jungkook assumes Jimin is okay with this decision, but as he stands here at Hoseok’s door with Jihyun’s gift in his hands, lots of thoughts rush to his brain. He has tried to reach out to Jimin a couple of times, all attempts unsuccessful. He decided to give up, since he did not want to feel like a stalker, but it is awkward to stand here now due to the lack of communication. 

Did Jimin even want him to come at all? Is he gonna flip? Is Hoseok pulling something on him? Should he just go and send the gift to Jimin’s secretary? That would be too impersonal, he wanted to see Jihyun’s reaction to his gift-

“Hey” Jungkook’s head snaps behind him as the voice draws his attention. Jimin climbs up the steps to the door holding four packs of beer on top of his folded arms, drawn to his chest. “Why are you just standing here? Do you not want to go inside?”

Jungkook looks like a deer caught in headlights as he tries to think about what to reply.  Jimin looks beautiful, as always. His blond hair is longer, falling delicately to his face. He is wearing a light blue shirt with Jihyun’s face on it, all decorated with super hero themed figures, with the caption “Happy 7th birthday Jihyun!”.

“I was just about to go inside” Jungkook responds. “How are you?”

“Tired” Jimin replies. “Birthday parties for energetic pups never gets easier, hence the beer” Jimin says as he nudges the beers in acknowledgment. He walks past Jungkook to open the front door to Hoseok’s house, and Jungkook can now hear the music and laughter both from pups and adults coming from the backyard. His house is how Jungkook imagined: spacious, and very decorated. There are paintings, figurines, colors and shapes everywhere, which Jungkook enjoys, it reflects his personality exactly, but he wonders how Yoongi would add his own monotone decorations. 

“Do you need help with anything?” Jungkook offers as Jimin sets the beers on the kitchen counter. 

“You can put these in the fridge” Jimin says, pointing at the beers as he makes his way to the backyard. Jungkook does as he is told, and then makes his way to the backyard where the main party is happening. The yard is big, with a swimming pool, tables and a beautiful garden in the back. It looks like a birthday party Jungkook would go crazy for when he was younger. Super hero banners, food, drinks, even the pool has a hulk floaty. 

Jungkoon scans the backyard to find Jimin next to him soon, both laughing as Jihyun uses the face paint in his hand to draw a very artistic reiteration of spiderman on Jimin’s cheek. Jimin giggles and guides his pup to pick the right colors as they have their fun. 

Jungkook decides to leave the two alone and look for his brother who said he was already here. Scanning through the crowd of adults and children, Jungkook managed to find both him and Hoseok, with the same shirts Jimin has, talking next to the table full of sweet treats. 

“Where is my shirt?”  Jungkook asks as he approaches the couple. “I feel very left out”. 

“There is more in my room upstairs if you want” Hoseok, cheery as always, replies to Jungkook and points at the upper floor of the house. “I just thought it would be so cute! It is those shirts you have for years just as a memory, and I thought a seventh birthday is pretty memorable” 

“Why the seventh?”

“Lucky seven” Yoongi replies, and Jungkook can’t help but smile. His brother looks so much more content and  happy when he isn’t spending every waking hour pinning over Hoseok from the shadows. He always acts like he is above cheesy, but knows him too well, and if he asks, he is sure some part of the shirts and decorations were his brother’s idea. 

 “Hey you guys made it!” Hoseok says as he looks past Jungkook. Jungkook looks back to see three people, two alphas and an omega. The first alpha is taller than all of them, dimples riddle his face and the buzzcut complements his stature. He is holding hands and sharing a mating bite with the omega next to him, who Jungkook thinks could be a movie star by looks alone. And the other alpha, a little more on the slender side, could also be a movie star, his boxy smile and long eye lashes bring brightness to his face. 

“We are so sorry we are late, Namjoon got lost on the way here” The omega says, and the the taller alpha refutes: 

“I did not get us lost! Taehyung is the one that got me distracted with his model agency drama”

“It was good gossip!” Taehyung replies laughing. 

“Well, you guys are here now. Jungkook, can you fetch everyone a shirt? All seven of us are team Jihyun for the day, and yes I am putting you to work too” Hoseok says and Jungkook laughs. 

“I am happy to help” Jungkook replies, and before he leaves, the handsome omega addresses him directly. 

“Ouh, nice to meet you by the way! I am Seokjin, ” he says. “Heard a lot about you” he continues, and Jungkook pauses. Him? 

“Huh..”

“Don’t mind him, Jin can be a bit forward sometimes” Namjoon replies. 

“Right, but don’t worry, we don’t bite. Unless you know, hurt our friend’s feelings, all that jazz-”

“Taehyung!” Namjoon interrupts. 

“Anyways, about those shirts!” Jin says, and that is Jungkook’s cue to leave. He rushes inside the house to avoid more awkwardness and realizes he did not even ask where Hoseok's room is. So he goes upstairs and looks through the closed doors in the hallways to find it. He finally stumbles upon the room with a box with the shirts right at the foot of the bed, but what he did not expect was to find Jimin in the room, looking through an open drawer next to the bed. 

“Hey!” Jimin says as he turns around in surprise.

“Hi…” Jungkook replies, they stand looking at each other. “Hoseok told me to come look for more shirts for the rest of us”

“Rest of us?”

“Yes, hum…” Jungkook continues. “Your friends are here” 

“Oh… right” Jimin replies. “ What about your shirt?” Jimin asks, Jungkook’s eyes widen. 

“I wanted one too actually, they are cute” Jungkook says. “And I got him a gift. I know you said you would think about it but I decided to just get it. I wanted to reach out and ask but you haven’t been answering -”

“ Yeah, about that” Jimin says, and his tone becomes more serious as he rounds the bed to stand in front of Jungkook. He takes the box with the gift out of his hands, setting it on the bed. “ I am sorry for not answering your texts, I just panicked… I don’t know, it is complicated. But thank you for coming. Jihyun will be happy to see you” Jimin replies, and he sounds sincere in his apology. 

“It is alright, I just-” Jungkook pauses. “I kinda missed you” and  there it goes, he said it and he can’t take it back. Jimin looks shocked, his mouth opens in an ‘o’ shape as he processes what he just heard. 

“Jungkook…”

“Look, you don’t have to reply, let’s just enjoy the party, and we can talk about this later, if you want” Jungkook says and Jimin nods in agreement. 

“Alright”

“Good” Jungkook says, and it is quiet again. So to break the silence, Jungkook reaches for the box behind Jimin, and bends down to take out a few in large sizes, since he does not know what to bring to the others. He puts the shirts on the bed, and takes one out of the pile for himself. He takes advantage of the fact that he is here, and Jimin is watching, to take his shirt off, leaving his torso bare. 

“Wait, what are you doing?” Jimin replies, eyes wide as he eyes Jungkook’s chest up and down, taking in the tanned skin and defined muscles that he has worked very hard to maintain, thank you very much. 

“Putting on my shirt” Jungkook says, as he passes the party shirt over his head to put it on. Even in large, it is a bit tight, and his biceps hug the sleeves perfectly. Jimin is just staring at him like Jungkook is from another world. “ or do you want it off?”

“I didn’t say that” Jimin replies as he looks away, face flushed red, the spiderman painting on his cheek fading away. 

“You have told me a lot of things in the past few months” Jungkook replies. “Some of them, requests that I want to fulfill". Jungkook gets closer to Jimin, he looks directly into his eyes now as the tension in the room builds around them, his chocolaty scent gets richer as Jungkook senses the mood in the room changing. 

“Requests? Like what Jeon?” Jimin asks, his words daring as he takes up the challenge. 

“Like” Jungkook replies. “How you begged for me to be inside you” Jungkook continues and Jimin rolls his eyes. 

“Weren’t we going to talk about this later?"  Jimin asks, slurring the ‘r’ in the end of the word. 

“Sorry” Jungkook shrugs. “ You just look too beautiful today” Jungkook replies, and Jimin laughs, music to Jungkook’s ears. 

“No way!” Jimin giggles. “I have been awake since 5 AM, I have been running around all day, I am sweaty, and I am pretty sure this stain on my shirt is throw up from Soobin who got sick in the pool”

“Soobin?” Jungkook asks. 

“Jihyun’s best friend”

“Well…all of that is not important to me” Jungkook says, and he turns a little bold. He places a hand on Jimin’s waist, grounding him. Jimin squints, but does not pull away, observing his every move. “Because you still look beautiful, too beautiful not to kiss” 

“Then why don’t you do it?” Jimin replies, and how could Jungkook say no. He dives in for the kiss, not asking permission this time. The second his lips touch Jimin’s, it feels like heaven came back to earth. It feels like home, and Jungkook almost curses himself for not acting on his feelings over the last few years. Why did he wait so long? He does not know. But he is here now, and all he can do is enjoy the moment. 

He deepens the kiss, savoring every second of Jimin’s sweet kiss as he inserts his tongue into the kiss. Jimin lets out a small moan as Jungkook pulls him closer by his waist, his arms moving to hug his neck, pulling his face even closer. 

Jungkook can finally have a whiff of Jimin’s scent, although he can also smell the scent blocker smell. He must have applied it early in the morning, but by now, it is fading, which Jungkook is grateful for, because he remembers so well how wonderful it is to smell up close. 

Cherry blossoms, his favorite flower. The ones he looks forward to seeing every year in Japan. The ones he plans to have in his backyard and care for until he dies of old age. The rich smell of invade his nostrils, as he sniffs it little by little, the scent still faint but noticeable 

“Fuck, you smell so good” is all Jungkook can say before diving into the kiss again. 

“My blockers, shit I should have-”

“No, please” Jungkook replies. “Please, I need to smell you” Jungkook pleads and Jimin frowns, not in worry but surprise. He looks around a bit, thinking about what to say. 

“My scent can be… distracting. I just cover it because alphas are weird about it, and work also…” 

“Well, you don’t have to hide it with me” Jungkook replies, and Jimin replies by bringing him for another kiss. 

They get lost like this, time seems to freeze as they enjoy each other's touch. So much so that they didn't realize the door was still open. 

“Hey you were taking so long why-” is all they hear before they rush to separate. Yoongi, bless his heart, freezes. Jungkook kinda, maybe, possibly has not told him about the whole ‘eating Jimin out on his kitchen counter’ situation after the fundraiser. He did drive back to the house, and tried to answer the multiple texts and calls asking him why he left his own fundraiser for two hours; which he simply replied with “bathroom break!”, whatever that meant. 

Yoongi was, of course, suspicious, since he saw the two of them leave the party together, but in typical Yoongi fashion, he did not ask. 

Well, now he knows!

“I-” Yoongi trails off. “I will just leave” he says as he takes two steps back and practically runs out of the door. Jungkook and Jimin both look at each other searching for something to say. 

“I have to go” Jimin says, rushing past Jungkook in a hurry, but he catches his wrist before he manages to escape. 

“ Wait, weren’t we going to talk?” Jungkook asks. 

“I will text you okay? We have to go back to the party” 

“How about dinner?” Jungkook replies, restrain out the window. 

“Dinner?” 

“Yes” Jungkook says. “Just the two of us, we can finally talk, like adults. No ghosting, or no replies, just sitting down to talk, is that okay with you?” Jungkook asks, and Jimin takes a few seconds to answer. Jungkook can see the wheels turning, and him weighing out his options in real time. 

“Fine” Jimin answers, and Jungkook almost jumps like a kid who just got their favorite candy handed to them. “One dinner, one! Next friday, better pick me up on that fancy car of yours” 

“Deal” Jungkook says, and that is all he gets before Jimin goes out of the door, leaving him alone in the room. 

Fuck, this is a bit messy. 

🦋

Jimin feels insane. It feels like his body betrays him every time he is next to Jungkook. The whole reason why he ghosted him (not the most mature, he knows) was because he wanted to stay away. Away from Jungkook’s biceps, and lips, and big eyes, and and- 

That was the whole point, and now he is here, a beer in his hand at his son’s birthday party, watching the man he has been trying to avoid for the past month playing with this pup. It feels crazy, but what can he do? He didn't even think about inviting Jungkook, but Taehying said it would be good for Jihyun, and Jimin agreed. He has deprived his son from his father for so long, and he is tired of feeling guilty about it. 

Hoseok offered to throw the party at his house, since Jimin’s apartment isn’t big enough for what he had planned, and he is thankful for it. He is also thankful for how much his friends got together and helped pull this off, he definitely would not be able to do this alone. They even made a group chat where he finally introduced Hoseok to Namjoon, Tae and Jin properly. 

It felt right, and it feels even more right now. Seeing Jungkook play with his son so lovingly, with the cute shirt Taehyung designed, is doing something to his wolf. He is glad he reapplied his scent blockers because it would definitely be giving it away. 

How could he forget to reapply it? He has been really busy today… but still. Now he stands here, looking at his son reaching for his gifts after they had sung ‘happy birthday’, Hungkook beside him, with his own gift in his hand, waiting patiently for his turn. 

“I heard what happened” Hoseok says as he comes to stand beside Jimin, watching the scene. 

“You heard or Yoongi blabbed?”.

“Same thing” Hoseok responds and Jimin giggles. “When were you gonna tell me you were hitting that?”.

“I am not hitting anything” Jimin defends.”It’s just… he took me home after the fundraiser and we had a thing. Well, he ate me out in my kitchen. And then I freaked out and ghosted him. Now he is taking me out to dinner next friday haha” .

“Wow” Hoseok responds. “ That’s... a lot”.

“You are telling me?”.

“Are you going to tell him soon?” Hoseok asks, and Jimin sighs. He did end up confessing to Hoseok about Jihyun and Jungkook, only if he swore to not tell Yoongi. This was followed by multiple ‘I knew it’ and ‘he looks just like him”. Jimin is grateful that the weight of this secret is finally off his shoulder, but he can’t help but to feel guilty, since the main person of the secret is unaware of it. 

“I don’t know… My wolf acts so weird around him, it makes me reckless, I lose control, and I hate that. I know I have to be honest, but it never feels like the right time. And he just has to look like that, I mean, can you blame me?”

“ Yeah, the Jeons will do that to you” Hoseok says, patting Jimin on his shoulder as reassurance. 

“So I took the offer for the dinner to come clean, hopefully” Jimin admits. 

“No matter what, we are always here. And we are rooting for you guys, this enemies to lovers plot is getting juicy”.

“Ouh, shut up”.

“Appa!” Jimin hears, and his senses immediately lock in to his son’s scream. But it did not sound like fear, it sounded like… happiness?

“Appa! Appa!” Jihyun runs towards him, handing Jimin another Spiderman, bigger than the last one, but this time it looks different, smells different, it smells like-

“Did you know you can engrave things with people’s scent?” Jungkook says from behind Jihyun, stepping closer to the three of them. “ I know right? Shocker. Since you told me Jihyun had nightmares I remembered that when I was younger, every time my parents were traveling I would have horrible nightmares. The only thing that would help was a blanket that my parents would scent before going away. It wouldn’t last very long, but it would help me for a couple of nights. I found a company that can bioengineer a dispenser that can emulate a specific scent. It lasts for a couple of months and then you can just refill it with the scent profile. I hope it is close to the real thing”. 

Jimin stops completely in his tracks. He did all of that for Jihyun? He takes a deep breath to smell the toy better, it smells just like him, maybe a little artificial, but Jungkook almost nailed the smell exactly. Jimin wants to cry, he always feels awful for how much he uses scent blockers for work and free time. How much Jihyun hates it and complains about it. This is so much more thoughtful than even Jungkook realizes. 

“Oh my God” Jimin says, trying to hold back his tears. “Thank you. It is so considerate. Jihyun, do you like it?”

“Yes! It is so cool, and smells just like Appa. Now I can have Appa around all the time!” 

“Say thank you to Jungkook baby”. 

“Thank you, thank you kookie!” Jihyun says as he goes to hug Jungkook. Well, his legs is all he reaches, but Jimin can smell how much Jungkook’s scent blooms. It just smells of content and happiness.

 “Soobin look!” Jihyun says as he runs off to show his new toy to his friend. 

Shit, shit. This. This is something else entirely. This is too much. Can Jungkook stop being a romance movie alpha for a fucking second? 

What is he going to do? 

Guess he will have to wait until Friday to see. 

🦋

7 years ago 

Jimin thinks he is drunk enough now. He has been entertaining Jungkook for about an hour. They talk and laugh, discuss their college life and friends. It is nice. He might have had a different perception of who the alpha actually was. 

In his defense, rich alphas are rarely good guys to begin with. Rich people in general, so when he saw Jungkook trying to offer to pay for his lunch, he got annoyed. Who does he think he is, you know? But he let it go, because after doing some digging, he found out the alpha isn't that bad. So when Jungkook kept bringing him drinks, he kept accepting them, because what’s the harm?

Now after an hour of talking, his mind a little looser and his thoughts lighter, he can actually see Jungkook for who he is. He is smart, funny, quite a nerd, and sweet. Still very cocky, but not annoying enough to throw Jimin off. Most importantly, he does little things that make Jimin’s cheeks redden. He brushes Jimin’s hair out of his eyes momentarily when his blonde locks fall to his face. He makes sure to watch over Jimin’s cup when he gets distracted, covering it with his hand when he looks away. He brushes his fingers along Jimin’s waist when they eventually go dancing, the touch gentle, controlled. Not invasive, but an invitation for Jimin to get closer. 

And he takes it. 

Pulling himself to close until their chests are touching, faces directly in front of each other, their eyes locked. Jimin can see the dark orbs on Jungkook’s face clearly, the twinkle in his eyes as the lights flash around them. His scent, God his scent. So warm and inviting, it makes Jimin drunk, more than he already is. 

The strong arms that wrap around his waist possessively, the mouth that whispers ‘you look so beautiful’ or ‘ you are driving me crazy’ as they dance pressed against each other. Their movements get more hungry, more seductive, just more. Jimin turns around to press his ass right in front of Jungkook’s crotch, he hears the sharp intake of breath Jungkook makes as they continue to enjoy each other. And Jimin does not miss the bulge he starts to feel growing against his behind. 

Jimin is losing himself, which he promised he wouldn’t. He promised himself he wouldn’t play around with alphas. He promised he would just focus on school, and he has been successful for the last two years, but Jungkook is making him lose his mind. 

“fuck, Jimin” his hands press agaisnt his hips tighter, they grind, sweat and dance like they are alone. No one matters at this point. Just them. “I want you” 

“You will have to ask nicer than that alpha” Jimin knows he is hitting a sensitive spot by addressing his wolf directly, but sensing Jungkook freeze behind him is worth it. 

“Please Jimin, I want you, let me make you feel good” and that is kinda all Jimin needed. They rush upstairs in this frat house, which is cleaner than he thought it would be. They get to an empty room and lock the door. Their lips collide without a thought, and the weight of his soft mouth puts his omega at ease. 

They rush to kick their clothes off, nothing holding them back as they hop naked on the bed, Jimin on top of Jungkook as they continue to kiss, bite, and explore their bodies fully. 

“You smell so good baby” Jimin whines at the praise. They grind their cocks against each, hard and leaking. Jimin’s slick drips down his legs, soaking the sheets underneath. “You are so wet, like a fucking faucet” Jungkook continues, using one of his hands that were holding Jimin’s ass to gather some of the slick, pushing a wet finger inside, thrusting it gently. 

“Jungkook-” Jimin moans out loud, not caring about who hears them. “I am prepped enough just put it in-”

“You need more baby, I don’t want to hurt you”

“I want it to hurt” Jimin says as he gathers some slick with one of his hands and coats Jungkook’s thick length. Definitely the biggest he has ever had, but he wants it so bad, he can’t wait. “I want your cock now, I need it, please”

“ Want it that bad?’ Jungkook lines himself with Jimin’s leaking hole, the scent of slick and arousal intoxicates the air around them. Only the smell of cherry blossoms and chocolate can be felt. “Then you better take my cock like a good omega”

Jimin sinks down on the length without hesitation. He hisses, the stretch is indeed brutal, and it hurts a bit. He tries to relax, and Jungkook ever so sweetly, sings praises to his ear as he tries to adjust. He is drawing circles with his fingers on Jimin’s hips, touching his legs, his chest, his ass, exploring every inch of his milky skin in pure adoration. 

“You already feel so good, so tight” Jimin shivers as Jungkook growls at the sensation of his dick nesting almost completely inside Jimin. Jimin’s eyes are sealed shut as he tries to take it all, he whines and squirms, the length too girthy for his taking. 

“Jungkook” Jimin whines, his eyes teary as he looks down. “ It’s too big”

“Need help omega?” Jungkook reaches for Jimin’s face, hands on both sides of his face as he kisses Jimin’s tears, his cheeks, and leaves kisses on his puffed lips. Jimin nods. “You have to ask alpha nicely, no?

“ Please help me take your cock alpha” Jimin sees his world spin and Jungkook flips them around, Jungkook nestled between his thick thighs. The position pushing Jungkook’s dick deeper, making Jimin’s feet curl. 

“Gonna fuck you now baby” Jungkook says as he caresses Jimin’s cheek, leaving a soft kiss on his forehead. He leaves his lips there as he pushes his hips deeper, finally fully resting his dick inside. Time stands still as they both breathe heavily on each other, taking the moment in. Jungkook’s weight on top grounding him, keeping his omega calm. Jungkook grips his hips possessively as his own starts to move slowly, his dick wet in slick moving in and out. 

The sounds are obscene, it makes Jimin’s face redden. Jimin’s hole grips Jungkook’s cock like it wants to break it, or keep it inside forever. Jungkook groans, the pleasure rising as his hips increase in rhythm. He pushes his dick out fully before pushing it entirely inside with a powerful trust. 

“Ah-” Jimin cries, the bed squicks as Jungkook continues his intrusion, his powerful thrusts not letting up as he establishes a good rhythm. He looks down now, directly into Jimin’s glistening eyes before diving into a kiss, muffling Jimin’s moans with his sweet mouth, his tongue licking Jimin’s lips, savoring him. “Ah, Jungkook, fuck-”

“Who?” Jungkook asks as he deepens his thrust, going as deep as wild as he can, his dick reaching places inside Jimin he didn’t know he could feel. His eyes cross as the pleasure feels like too much, his cock leaks in his stomach untouched. “ Come on baby, you know what to call me”

“Alpha, alpha please-”

“Please what omega?” Jungkook whispers into Jimin’s ears. “you have to ask baby”

“Make me come, I wanna come, feels so good” Jimin doesn’t even know what he is saying anymore, the alcohol was already clouding his mind, and now with the added sensations it feels like his brain can’t process everything. “You are so deep”

“Yeah?” Jungkook says Jimin can feel the knot that is building at the base of the lengthy cock, he is almost a little scared, how is he going to take it? “Want me to touch you baby?” 

“Yes alpha”

“I will touch you baby, since you asked so nicely” Jungkook moves to finally touch Jimin’s cock, pumping it with the rhythm of his own hips, driving Jimin to his limit, He feels the familiar build in his stomach, his hole constricts, hugging Jungkook’s cock tightly as he feels he is near. “Gonna come soon angel?”

“Yes, I’m gonna come, oh Gods I’m gonna-” Jimin reaching his high as his cock spurts come all over his stomach and chest, which Jungkook bends down to lick, grazing his tongue all over his sensitive nipples, the hard buds inviting his mouth. “Too much, too-”

“You can take it baby” Jungkook reassures, and once again, Jimin’s world spins and Jungkook pulls out to turn Jimin on his stomach, then on all fours, handling him like he is weightless. “Fuck, this ass” Jungkook says, and with no warning, he lick a fat strip of slick falling off Jimin’s hole. Jimin can only moan as Jungkook eats him out, his flaccid cock twitches as the pleasure. 

It doesn’t last much longer, and Jimin whines as Jungkook puts his cock inside him again, not wasting any time before setting a brutal pace, chasing his orgasm. His chest rests against Jimin’s back as his knot swells. The sounds of his hips slapping against Jimin’s ass, his leaking hole adding to the obscene scene. He is so wet, he didn’t even know he could produce so much slick like this. 

“Gonna come baby, gonna give you my knot” Jungkook bites Jimin’s ear, kisses down his neck as he teases his scent gland with his tongue. This drives Jimin crazy again, his now hard little cock dripping into the bed. It is so much, but he can’t help to think that he could do this forever. Feel this forever, this scent, this touch, this sensation that makes him warm.

Safe, his omega says. 

“Need your knot, need it, please please-” Jimin mumbles, and Jungkook does not disappoint, with a few more thrusts, he comes inside Jimin with a growl, his knot pushed deeply inside him as he comes in waves. It is so much slick and cum that it leaks outside of the plug, wetting them both. Jimin comes again, his eyes droopy and sleepy as he comes down from his high.

Jimin doesn’t remember much after that, he remembers Jungkook cleaning him and dressing him. He kind of remembers being in a cab with Jungkook, him giving the other man the code to his apartment. He also remembers vaguely being tucked in bed, but that is all he can recall after that. 

Jimin curses at himself, no phone number was given to him, and he makes a mental note to thank Jungkook for getting him home safely. He gets up from his bed to see a note on his dresser. 

“ Hope you rested well, I had to leave. I had a lot of fun. I hope to see you soon, beautiful. 

- kook”

 One month later 

Jimin is looking at the two lines on his pregnancy test and he feels like he might pass out. Taehying is trying to console him, asking him questions, ‘who is the father?’, ‘when did this happen?’. It isn’t helpful, because if he is being honest, he does not want to recall it. He and Jungkook didn’t really talk much after that night, it was a stupid hookup. One that he told himself was just a one time thing. Although they talked and had fun, Jimin has no ties to Jungkook. No friends in common, no life in common. 

“No one can know Tae” 

“But Jimin, just talk to me-”

“Please, just please. I can’t, this is- this is a lot” Jimin cries, what is he going to do? He thinks about how Jungkook would react. He has his life ahead of him, so much to worry about. Jimin would hate to be seen as the omega who trapped the rich guy on campus. He doesn’t want handouts, he doesn’t want a forced arrangement. He doesn’t want the tabloids, the invasion of privacy. He doesn’t want to do this with a complete stranger. 

Reckless? Maybe, unfair? Sure, but he has prided himself to have reached where he is by his own merit. His parents were far from rich, but he won a full ride scholarship to the top law school in the country because he worked for it. What has Jungkook ever worked for? Will he understand? There is a difference between being a sweet guy and a good parent.  

“I know mimi, you can always count on me okay? we will figure it out, you don’t need to say anything okay?” Jimin rests his head on Taehyung’s chest as he sobs. A warm hand caresses his back as he is hugged. 

“Wh-what am I going to do? How am I going to finish school?” Jimin sobs, classes are hard enough without being pregnant. 

“Jimin, you know there are options. You don’t ever have to keep this baby if you don’t want to. But you know you always have me, your parents, and Joon. You know the saying, ‘it takes a village’, right?” 

Taehyung is right, abortion is always an option. But something in his heart tugs at the idea, maybe it's his omega, maybe is the only connection to an alpha that his body feels so connected to that he does not want to end. He doesn’t know.

“I think-” Jimin ponders with tears in his eyes. “I think I want to keep it” 

“Okay” Taehyung reassures, calming pheromones fill the air around them. “But you can always change your mind, I am here okay. You will finish school, and you will become the best lawyer Seoul has ever seen” that rips a giggle out of Jimin. 

“I don’t want the father involved, at all, he can’t know. It is too complicated” Taehyung nods, a silent understanding. And this is why Jimin always confides in him, he just gets Jimin in a way no one ever does. He doesn't push when he knows he doesn’t need to, he always listens and provides a crying shoulder even when he doesn’t necessarily agree. 

They are a team, and they will do this together. 

🦋

As Jungkook drives to Jimin’s apartment in his fancy car of his ( Jimin’s orders) he can’t help to think where it all went wrong. Why did they get so distant over the years? He remembers the party like it was yesterday, he hung on to that memory for the past seven years of his life. Jimin’s voice, his lips, the way he looked when he unraveled in his arms. No matter who he dated, the memory of Jimin moaning his name was tattooed to his nervous system.

After two months had passed from the party, it had felt like Jimin disappeared from the face of the earth. He tried asking around a couple of times, since it doesn’t seem they have friends in common. Jungkook eventually figured out that Jimin had moved to Busan to take classes online, and would not be coming back to campus. This was rather surprising, since he didn’t get any indication of him making such a decision. 

Not that they talked much to begin with, their interactions consisted of ‘hi's' and ‘how are you?’s’ every other day if they saw each other. Jungkook tried to reach out, but it just felt like most of the time, he was actively being avoided. 

Jimin would give him very dry, sometimes cold answers at any question, so like any normal person would do, he stopped reaching out. However, this did tug at his heart strings. Not being able to see the omega again hurt, and with no phone number, his options of contact are limited.

With private social media, little friends in common, after that day, Jimin disappeared more and more out of Jungkook’s life. He became a recurring memory over the years after his graduation. He did find out a couple of years later that he started working at a firm closely connected to his own parents. And even in those little interactions over the next few years, their connection lingered. It has always felt electric, almost primal, how his wolf had always responded to Jimin even when the omega is giving him the cold shoulder, or a snarky remark at his flirting. 

He is just glad that now, as he is going to pick up his college crush (Jungkook admits to himself), that he stuck through. He reaches Jimin’s apartment in no time and sends him a text saying he is downstairs. They agreed to meet at the parking lot, well, mostly Jimin’s idea, since he made it clear that this is not a date. It is a dinner, between two colleagues, who are meeting to talk and discuss the boundaries of their relationship. That’s what they tell themselves at least. 

Jungkook can not lie and say he isn’t nervous. He has been on edge all day, his scent a little unruly, sweating more than usual, and a bit snappier too since Jihyun’s birthday, but he has been trying to keep it together. He will just maybe go to the doctor to check if there is something wrong or if he is catching the flu or something. 

Jungkook waits a few minutes before he sees the blond come out of the building, breathtaking as always. He is dressed casually, a black button down shirt with black trousers. His blonde waves styled loosely, minimal make up this time. Jungkook thinks that Jimin could wear a sack of potatoes and still looks stunning, but he digresses. 

Jungkook gets out of the car and rounds it, opening the door for the omega after they greet. Jimin, again, tries to protest, but manners are manners, and Jungkook will be damned if he doesn’t try every minute to worship the ground the omega walks in. 

“So, where are you taking me?”

“To my apartment” Jungkook says, and Jimin visibly freezes at the response. “Before you say something, it is for privacy reasons. Every time I am seen outside with someone it makes the tabloids, and especially since you are an omega, for yours and Jihyun’s sake, let’s keep this dinner to ourselves”

He can see Jimin considering and nodding in agreement, but not before answering. “Fine, but no funny business”. 

“We will see”.

🦋

Jimin knows he should not overthink this. When Jungkook said they were going to his apartment, it felt like a trap. Although the reasoning was valid, he was truly lost as to how to continue from here. Jimin thought about it all week, and decided it was time to tell Jungkook about Jihyun. And he decided to do so in a restaurant, in a public place, to avoid outbursts. So when Jungkook said they were not going to a public place, his plan kinda fell off the window. 

It also poses a threat to Jimin’s sanity, being in an alpha’s space. He knows Jungkook’s scent will be everywhere, and he knows it will drive him mad. But there is no way he can tell Jungkook that, so he stays quiet for the rest of the ride. 

When they reach Jungkook’s apartment, Jimin rolls his eyes again. Of course it’s a fucking penthouse, and of course it is fancy as shit. Just the lobby alone feels like another universe. Not that Jimin is not well off by any means, his job truly pays him what he is worth and more. But this is old money rich, this is ‘my family has always swam in money’ rich. It is intimidating, so Jimin keeps it to himself as they climb up the elevator to his apartment on the last floor. 

When they get inside, it looks exactly how Jimin thought it would look. It is a big apartment, with high ceiling windows, looking down on the city. This high up, Seoul feels so small, like they are untouchable. A spacious living room greets them at their entrance after they pass the small always. Spiral stairs lead to the upper floor where he assumes Jungkook’s room is. The living room is spacious too, a massive TV adorns the other side of the couch. 

Although spacious and completely full of Jungkook’s scent, the apartment feels like a model house, not very personally decorated, except for some family and friends pictures here and there. It doesn’t really look lived in, which Jimin knows that because of his business trips, Jungkook spends most of his time in Tokyo. 

The kitchen is what surprises Jimin, it smells phenomenal. Pots and pans organized neatly in the kitchen aisle counter, Jimin’s mouth waters at the delicious food placed in front of them. The rectangular dining table is set, two seats opposite of each other, wine glasses and cutlery is also set on both seats. Candles lit up the table with the overhead beige light. 

Jimin gasps, fuck, this is a date. 

“What is all of this?”

“Well, I figured since we didn’t go out to eat, I would bring the food here. I didn’t know what you would like, so I gave you a little bit of everything. I have korean food and some western food like steak and fries if you want. The wine is in the fridge if you would also like that” Jungkook answers, and Jimin fails to even give a response. Why do all of this? 

“Jungkook, you know this isn’t a date right?” Jimin asks, and Jungkook stops on his tracks in front of the refrigerator as he gets the wine. 

“I never said it was” Jungkook reaches for the bottle opener. He guides both of them to the table and pulls Jimin’s chair for him. “But you deserve a nice dinner, and some good wine, so can you let me do that for you?”

Jimin sits as he ponders on what to answer. It seems easy, everyone, no matter the gender or presentation, would be melting over a gesture like this. But Jimin, over being thankful for such consideration, he feels fear. Fear that this might all go crumbling down the second the truth is revealed. Jimin knows this is a date, doesn’t really matter what Jungkook tries to put this as, but all of this might not last. 

“Sure, just for tonight”.

“Right, for tonight”.

“Where did you get all of this food from?”.

“I made it” Jungkook answers, and Jimin’s eyes snap to the man who is currently pouring him a glass of wine. 

“You… you cooked all of this. How?” Jimin asks, stunned, and Jungkook smiles as he grabs Jimin’s plate, and circles around the kitchen to serve him different foods. 

“ Not the rich spoiled boy you thought I was huh?”

“ No, you are pretty much still that” Jimin teases. “But, this is still impressive”

“Yeah, I kinda had to learn to fend for myself eventually” Jungkook answers as he serves Jimin some steak. “Travelling all the time, I couldn’t rely on takeout forever, so cooking kinda became a hobby for me. I have a bunch of cooking books in my study down the hall if you want to see after dinner”

That sounds like an invitation to explore his house, which makes this situation even more intimate then Jimin anticipated. 

Shit, this is gonna be a long night.

🦋

Jimin hates to admit it, but the food is delicious. He is trying to keep it together, but he does not remember the last time he actually ate this well. Jungkook knows Jimin is enjoying his food, his scent gives it away immediately. They are relatively quiet as they eat and make casual comments about their day and work.

Jimin can’t help but get nervous, and a bit quiet. His mind is spiraling, and he does not know how to go from what he was planning on doing. Should he tell Jungkook right now? How would he even start the conversation? 

Hey so, you know Jihyun? Yeah, well he is actually your son and I hid him from you for the past seven years because I was scared you were going to ruin my life because I trapped you with a baby ahah 

That all sounds awful, his anxiety does not help, as he thinks of every possible scenario as to how this could go wrong. 

“Are you okay?” Jungkook asks, and Jimin notices his scent shifting a little, concern covering the rich chocolate. He has been smelling a little sweeter today than usual, which might just be Jimin making things up in his head. “You got very quiet”.

“ I am okay” Jimin sips his wine glass. “Tots’ fine”

“Tots?” Jungkook laughs. 

“Yeah, like totally? I don’t know” Jimin responds, the mood a bit lighter again. 

“I am too old for this” Jungkook replies. “Can’t keep up with lingo anymore”

“ Please don’t age yourself that way, you are pretty fine for 50” Jimin teases. 

“ Haha, you are two years younger than me, if anything, we are both in our golden years” 

“ Absolutely not” Jimin replies, but at this point, he is sick of dancing around the subject at large. “So Jungkook, about us-”

“We don’t have to be anything Jimin” Jungkook responds, his plate clean as he sets his fork and knife down to concentrate on the serious topic. “ I know because of your son, these things can get complicated. I thought about it, and I don’t want to add to the stress. I am happy to just see you, feel you, any way you want me. I am happy with just being casual, or just friends. But I don’t want us to go back to bickering all the time and giving each other the cold shoulder, that I can’t take. Is that okay with you?” 

“I…’ Jimin ponders, that… was easier than he thought. He can’t say he wouldn’t miss Jungkook’s touch, the way he smiles at him, his laugh, his stupid cocky jokes. He wants to be close, but not too close, and Jungkook wants the same. At least he understands where Jimin might be coming from by not wanting to pursue a relationship. “ I think I am okay with that”

“Good, that’s good” Jungkook continues. “Besides, we will be basically coworkers after the merge, so I don’t want to get HR involved”

“ Coworkers? You will be basically my boss”

“You are gonna have to start calling me sir” Jungkook responds, and Jimin rolls his eyes at the smirk that grew on his face when he said it. 

“Not in a million years” Jimin responds. “ I will keep treating you like the cocky alpha you are” 

“That is what I like about you” Jungkook responds, and Jimin blushes. Jungkook gets up from his seat and extends his hand to Jimin as an invitation. “Do you want me to show you around? You could give me some tips on decoration, no funny business, I promise”

Jimin hesitates, but ultimately takes his hand. Fuck it, why not? He needs tips on decoration anyway. 

🦋

Jungkook’s study is the first stop, and when Jimin gets inside, he can see that this might be the place Jungkook spends most of his time in. It is a bit more used than the living room and the kitchen. 

The room is a bit dark, the wooden ivory book desk makes the room feel a bit more somber than it is. There are big windows behind the desk, the skyline of Seoul still admirable from here. The office is quite vintage looking, with leather couches and a coffee table to complement the rest of the room. Bookshelves line the walls of the room. Jimin skims through the shelves, his fingertips brush through the hard surface of the book covers. 

“Jimin, I am going to go to the bathroom very quickly, feel free to look around, or go upstairs if you get sick of the study” Jungkook says and he disappears into the door inside the study, which Jimin can see is a spacious bathroom, shower and everything. So he continues to look around, rounding the desk to sit on the brown leather chair. 

Maybe it is the wine, but Jimn’s eyes droop a little as he rests in the chair, it feels very comfortable, and Jimin understands why Jungkook might choose to spend a lot of his time sitting here. 

Jimin stays there for a couple of minutes, which turns into almost thirty minutes, and Jungkook is not back from the bathroom. Now that JImin thinks about it, there is a weird scent coming from it. A bit rich, very sweet, but rich, almost primal. 

Jimin lets his curiosity get the best of him and he gets close to the closed door. He knocks, and he hears a grunt from the other side. He touches the door handle, and he can feel that it is unlocked. He knocks again, and another grunt came from the side. 

Weird.

“Hey Jungkook” he continues to knock, hoping for another answer. “Is everything okay?”                                                                                                                                                   

“Omega?” Jimin freezes. That doesn’t sound like Jungkook, well, it does but it doesn't. The voice is deep, the vibration of his tone ricochets through the door. Upclose, Jimin can smell his scent better. At first, Jimin wanted to deny what was going on, if there is a God out there, they would not put Jimin through a situation like this. This can’t be happening to him-

“Omega” Jungkook repeats, and Jimin feels his omega scream inside him to open the door and reach for the alpha. He vaguely remembers this feeling with Hajoon, although not nearly as strong as this one. He now recognizes the voice, it is Jungkook, but more so his alpha, calling out to Jimin. 

Jungkook is going into a rut.

How could he bring Jimin here if he knew he was going to go into a rut? Not that Jimin hasn’t had his slips with his heats but still, with alphas is a lot more tricky. They get possessive, even dangerous. But Jimin knows Jungkook better, right? He wouldn’t hurt him… hopefully. Because Jimin wants to help, and he knows how awful it is to go through situations like this. 

“Jungkook, I am gonna come in okay-”

“NO! Don’t just, it’s dangerous st-stay away” That sounds more like Jungkook. He must still be lucid enough to have a conversation. 

“I can help, just talk to me okay, let me at least take you to your bedroom so you are not suffering alone in the bathroom. Do you have any suppressants?”

“N-no, I- my rut was supposed to start two weeks from now. I have been feeling weird but I thought I was sick” Jimin hears movement from behind the door, he hears cabinets opening and closing like he is searching for something. “ My alpha is going crazy with you here and I am losing control, I don’t want to hurt you Jimin, My ruts can be a bit… intense, to say the least” 

Jimin thinks. This isn’t ideal by any means.  An alpha in rut who he might or might not be attracted to is on the other side of this door telling him he can’t be helped on his rut. Which stings his omega a bit, feeling like a rejection. But Jimin wants to be rational and not do something he might regret

He wants to help him, even if it means spending his rut with him. Jimin checks his tracking app to see if he is good on his suppressants, which he is. Although he loves Jihyun, he is far from ready for another one. Besides, Jungkook doesn’t even know about baby #1, so he is sure #2 is probably not on his mind.

“Jungkook, I can help-“ 

“Jimin, there is nothing you can do. I have no suppressants on me and I need doctor’s prescription for that. I can just call someone to pick you up-“

“Jungkook” Jimin stands his ground, his tone stern as he continues. “ I can help” Jimin suggests. And he feels like Jungkook caught on to what he said since he stays silent for a couple of seconds. 

“Are you sure?” he inquists. “I can be a lot, are you 100% sure you want this? Because the second my hands are on you, I won’t let you go until my rut is over” 

Jimin doesn’t respond, instead he opens the door, only to see Jungkook on the floor, his pupils blown wide, his button up undone, his forehead wet with sweat as his breathing stays labored. His back against the bathroom cabinets. Jungkook shoots up, standing up straight at the sight of the omega. But he doesn’t reach for him, not yet. It feels like he is waiting for Jimin’s full confirmation. So Jimin offers:

“I am sure alpha” And that is enough to snap Jungkook into action. 

“Jimin” Jungkook rushes to Jimin in the door and grasps his arm, crushing both of their chests together. Jungkook growls, his pupils glow red as he looks deep into Jimin’s eyes. He whines, his omega trying to come to the surface in submission. 

“You drive me crazy Jimin” Jungkook lowers his head to Jimin’s neck, his round nose grazes against his scent gland, Jimin lets his scent grow, and grow, trying to combat Jungkook’s potent chocolate. “Fuck, I want to fuck you, wanna feel you omega” 

“It’s okay Jungkook” Jimin says as he takes his other arm and touches the alpha’s cheek gently. “You can have me alpha”. 

And Jungkook crushes their lips together. Jungkook frees Jimin’s arm in order to grab Jimin from under his thighs and lifts. Jimin gasps into the kiss as Jungkook grabs his ass and squeezes. Jimin hisses at the slight pain that shoots through his legs. 

“Fuck” Jungkook grunts, Jimin can feel Jungkook’s cock straining against his pants, and flushed between his ass cheeks. His hole starts to release the sweet nectar that fills the room with its scent. Jimin moans as Jungkook’s nostrils flare and he takes a deep breath, taking in the smell.

“Jungkook-“

“No” Jungkook bites Jimin’s lips, he squeezes until he draws blood, making Jimin whine in pain. He licks Jimin’s lips to ease the pain. “You call me alpha, understand baby?” 

“Yes alpha” Jungkook seems pleased as he guides them both out of the open door of the office and carries him up the stairs. Jimin assumes they reached their destiny down the hall when the sound of a door echos through the walls. 

Jimin doesn’t have enough time to analyze the room before he is thrown on the bad, the soft satin sheets pillow the fall. Jungkook climbs on top of him immediately, taking his neck into his mouth. He licks his scent gland, since his tongue to cover Jimin’s sensitive neck with his spit.

 Jungkook grinds their crotches together as he grips Jimin’s hips, he grunts in satisfaction as Jimin’s scent of slicks sharpens in the air. Jungkook feels warm, he feels wild. He is completely lost in his instincts, the need to claim him, to breed him. 

Jimin moans, his omega coming to the surface as Jimin also starts to fall deeply into his instincts. His slick seeping through his pants. 

“Ah, please” Jungkook grunts as he draws bites all over his collarbone. His shirt is buttoned off fully as evades both sides. “I need you alpha, need you” Jimin grinds their cocks together harder, throwing his hips up seeking more friction. 

“Stay still” Jungkook holds him down as he unbuttons Jimin’s pants. He slides them down, past his feet and onto the floor. He does the same with his own and returns to the same position. He grips Jimin’s hips again as he continues to grind his hard cock against Jimin’s. Their boxers wet with Jimin’s slick and their precome. 

They are slippery, sweaty, and so drunk on each other. The bitter taste of wine still coats their lips as tongues dance around each other. 

“Alpha” Jimin whines, his eyes teary, eye lashes sticky as he blinks to the man above him. 

“Yes baby” Jungkook disconnects their lips to attach his mouth to Jimin’s nipples, the brown buds hard against Jungkook’s tongue. His back arches at the sensation, they feel so sensitive as Jungkook sucks them raw. 

“Jungkoo-“ Jungkook bites his nipples, hard, Jimin screams as the pain radiates through his spine. “I’m sorry, sorry alpha, please-“

“Behave omega” Jungkook comes up to nip at his lips. He doesn’t stay there long as his lips travel down to his scent gland. He feels Jungkook’s fangs dig lightly into his neck, shivers run through his whole body. Jimin whines in submission, his omega relaxes a bit as Jungkook removes his teeth. 

“Want you to suck my cock” Jungkook whispers into his mouth. He gets up and drags Jimin to the edge of the bed by his feet. He is ordered a ‘turn around’ and on wobbly feed, Jimin turns on all fours and lays down, his head falling a little bit off the bed.

Jungkook kicks his boxers off his body and positions his crotch in front of Jimin’s face, his long cock hard and balls heavy. It glissens with slick in the lit room, Jungkook approaches him, getting close enough so his balls fall in front of Jimin’s eyes. 

He lines his cock with Jimin’s mouth. ‘Open’ is all Jimin hears. He pushes in, Jungkook does not wait for Jimin to adjust before trying to nest his whole dick inside Jimin’s needing throat. Jimin chokes, his hands fly to stop Jimin’s hips, but Jungkook grasps them. 

“You can take it baby, breathe for me” Jimin follows his advice and tries to breathe through his nose, he tries to hollow his cheeks as his throat tries to adjust to the girthy length. 

Jungkook whimpers as Jimin's wet, tight neck envelopes his cock.

”Uh, fuck” Jungkook moans as he thrusts his hips in and out. “Your throat fills like a pussy, tight and wet, do you have a pussy Jimin?”

Jimin’s eyes blow wide at the words, he tries to shake his head no, and Jungkook laughs. Jimin immediately understands why as the smell of more slick gushing through his boxers hits his nose. 

“You like that” not a question, a full statement. And Jimin closes his eyes in shame, his orbs teary as thinks about the possibility that yes, he might really like the way Jungkook talks to him in his rut drunk brain. 

“Such a good boy, throat so tight it is juicing my dick” Jungkook continues. “I remember that hole feeling better tho” 

Jimin squeaks in surprise as Jungkook leans down and rips Jimin’s boxers right on top of his hole, tearing it to reveal his soaked cock and hole. He does not wait to bend his torso and suck his tongue around Jimin’s rim. In this position, his cock only pushes deeper inside Jimin’s throat. He gags, spit dripping down his face at the intrusion. 

Jungkook starts to circle his hips, juicing his cock on Jimin’s throat. The sound of Jimin gagging and spitting all over Jungkook’s cock makes Jimin moan, his cheeks red and eyes watery as he tries to keep up with Jungkook’s movements. He tries to breathe, but it is so hard when Jungkook is pumping his tongue in and out of his ass. 

He circles it around Jimin’s balls, making his cock twitch, the small length leaking on his stomach. Jimin arches off the bed when Jungkook licks his tip, his mouth hot and wet as he sinks down Jimin’s dick, his hands grabs Jimin’s ass and spreads it, letting his hole flutter as more and more slick gushes out. 

“ Mhh, MHH!” his warning muffled by the thick cock inside his mouth. Jimin is too close, and this is too much. The way Jungkook’s scent is burning through Jimin’s nostril’s, making him fall deeper and deeper into submission. 

Jimin reaches his peak not a lot after, his cock spurts into Jungkook’s mouth, who does not let go until he milks Jimin completely dry. 

“My turn” Jungkook doesn’t let Jimin recover from his orgasms before straightening his back and holding Jimin’s throat with one hand, and starts chasing his own orgasm. He does not squeeze his neck hard, but the pressure is enough to cut a bit of Jimin’s circulation. He trashes around the bed, his now free arms push against Jungkook’s hips to put some distance. “Fuck, I’m gonna come, gonna paint those pretty lips with my seed”

Jungkook thrusts a couple more times before he pulls out and strokes his dick to achieve his own orgasm, warm cum hits Jimin’s face, landing on his lips, cheeks and eyes. Jungkook curses at the sight, his cock still hard and proud. Heavy, covered in slick and semen. 

“Come here baby” on very wobbly legs, Jimin gets up from his position and pulls himself to stand. Jungkook brings him close by his arm and kisses him deeply. He uses his tongue to lick his own come from Jimin’s eyes and cheeks. 

“Mine” Jungkook growls, he uses the leftover come on his tongue to coat Jimin’s scent gland, completely blending their scents together. His cherry blossom feels somehow fade beneath the overpowering smell of chocolate, with the strong hint of arousal, of want. “All mine, smelling like me, like my cum” 

Jimin whines, he feels so overpowered. He is used to being in control, used to being in charge, but Jungkook always finds a way to let Jimin let go, to let his omega take over. 

“Are you mine omega?” Jungkook asks, eyes glowing red as he backs the omega onto the bed again, letting him fall on his back. 

“I-” he needs to think quickly. This is starting to blur a line Jimin did not really think is the best to blur. That’s just his alpha talking. Right, it is his instincts talking, and Jimin knows it is good for the sake of the rut to just entertain it. “Yes alpha”.

“My omega” Jungkook settles between Jimin’s spread legs, he lowers his head to the level of Jimin’s crotch and sniffs, he gives Jimin love bites along his milky legs, his ass, his stomach, until he reaches Jimin red lips and sucks them too. “Mine to fuck, mine to breed”.

The thick head of Jungkook’s cock pushes inside Jimin’s hole with little resistance, he is so wet, it just slips right in.  “Yes alpha, yours”.

“Yeah” Jungkook pulls back only to give Jimin a powerful thrust. Jimin screams, his thighs are being squeezed until they turn red, Jungkook spreads his legs wide as he straightens his torso, so he is on his knees. In this position, it gives freedom to thrust as hard as he can, his long cock disappearing and reappearing on Jimin’s hole. “You drive my alpha crazy, I can’t think about anything but my cock inside this ass”. He spits a fat strip of saliva on top of his dick, only to push it in again. Not that he needed the extra lubrification, but the action makes Jimin moan. 

Jungkook delivers another thrust, and another, and another, the pace steady as he fucks Jimin with all his might. His cock so deep inside it leaves Jimin breathless. “Does it feel good baby?”

“Ah, it is-” Jimin tries to answer, but the constant feeling of Jungkook’s hard cock hitting his prostate over and over again hinders his coherency. But he can’t help at the pleasure that shoots through his body as Jungkook molds his insides to be shaped by his dick. He can’t help the moans that escape him, the build up of ecstasy that comes from the feeling of the alpha dying to claim him. “It feels so good alpha, please-”

“Please what omega? Talk to me baby” 

“I want your knot, fuck me with you knot’ Jungkook’s scent spikes as Jimin begs. 

“You want my knot?” Jungkook asks, bending down to grasp Jimin’s waist once more. “You think you deserve it? You think you can take it?”. Jimin nods, their moans synched as JUngkook focuses on making his movements strong deep rather than strong. Jimin can feel every inch of the veiny cock inside him as Jungkook fucks him. 

“Present for me” and on wobbly legs, Jimin turns on all fours. He lowers his torso until his chest is flushed against the bed completely, ass up, hole fluttering for Jungkook’s viewing.

Jungkook pushes in without delay, setting a delicious pace that has both of them moaning in pleasure. He drags his cock amongst Jimin’s walls without hesitation, his pace brutal as they rock the bed, the headboard banging against the wall violently. He is fucking to breed at this point, the only goal innis head it to knot the omega as much as he can, drunk in his rut. 

The knot at the base of his cock grows thicker as Jimin’s cries increase, he feels spent, his rim raw, his legs wet in slick as he the knot goes in and out of his hole. As expected, the knot is bigger in his rut, which makes Jimin curse, that can’t possibly fit inside him without him being in heat. 

“A-alpha” Jimin tries, his arms reach behind him to put some distance between their bodies, but Jungkook is having none of it. He locks Jimin’s arms behind his back, using them as anchors to thrust even deeper. “Ngh, please, it won’t fit-”

“Aren’t you mine omega?” Jungkook asks, his voice deep as he bends to kiss Jimin’s neck again. His alpha seems impatient, waiting to plug the omega once and for all. He pushes his thick knot in and Jimin can do nothing but take it. He feels high, like  his body is not his anymore. “My omega can always take my knot, you said you deserved it, then take it”

He sobs, he doesn’t know if he can. But his omega screams in his head ‘Alpha said we are theirs’, ‘Want alpha’s knot’, and Jimin can’t stop those thoughts from coming to the surface. He fights his omega so much, he tries to keep it at bay, controlled, but with a cock fucking him this good, he decides to let it pour out. He bends his neck in submission, exposing his throbbing scent gland that is still covered in Jungkook’s scent and cum. 

Jungkook dives, his fangs sharp as he bites very slightly, breaking the dam of Jimin’s mind as the bite registers to his omega. Not nearly enough to mate, but definitely enough for Jimin to fall deeply, his omega finally taking full reign to reach for Jungkook’s own wolf. 

Jimin arches his back, inciting the thick length to reach inside as much as it can. He pushes his ass back rhythmically, matching Jungkook’s thrusts. “So hungry for my knot you are fucking back?” Jungkook teases. 

“I want it so bad alpha, cum inside me, please,” Jimin cries. It is starting to get harder for the know to get out. 

“Gonna plug you with my knot, gonna make sure your hole remembers me forever” Jimin loses himself in the feeling. The feeling of Jungkook finally locking himself inside him, the groans Jungkook sounds in his ear as the know bursts, feeling him with cum. The feeling of Jungkook’s rough hand finally touching his leaking cock, stroking it a few times before Jimin comes again, falling flat on the bed with Jungkook holding him close, riding his own orgasm. 

The praises Jungkook voices to him, how much of a good omega he was, how tight and wet he is, how his body was made for him. Waves and waves of cum fill him to the brim, his tummy a little round from the amount. 

His omega is content, his chest vibrates as he purrs. Jungkook places him carefully on his side, kissing his neck as they let the knot deflate.  A comfortable silence falls between them that makes his eyes droopy. 

And in no time, he falls asleep, with the alpha holding him tight. 

🦋

Jimin wakes up hours later from what he assumes. The room is dark, and he is in the same position he was when they both fell asleep after Jungkook’s first wave of rut was over. Jungkook’s dick managed to slip out, leaving cum and slick to leak out onto the sheets. 

Jimin feels gross, and like they both need a bath. But first, if he is going to help Jungkook with his rut, he needs to at least warn his friends about his plans to stay. He groans, they are going to freak out. Jimin reaches for the nightstand and retrieves Jungkook’s phone. He has no idea where his own is, but he knows Taehyung’s number by heart, and he is sure Jungkook wouldn’t mind. 

He looks at the clock, and it reads 03:15 AM, so he chooses to send a text instead of a call, since he might be asleep. 

Hey Taehyung, 

I am texting from Jungkook’s number, my phone is mia 

I am sorry for not updating earlier but I kinda ran into a problem. Jungkook went into a rut and I am helping him. Can you stay with Jihyun for the weekend? I promise to make up to you. Love you taetae ❤️

He hits send and is about to put the phone down when it rings. 

“Hey Tae, what are-”

“YOU WHAT?” Jimin can hear the surprise from the other side. “ You are getting dicked down all weekend hm? What happened to ‘I want to keep a distance and figure things out later?’ " he asks, and Jimin blushes. 

“It’s complicated…” Jimin whispers, trying to not wake up the sleeping alpha next to him. “ I had to help him. Well, I didn’t necessarily have to. He fell into a rut unexpectedly and I felt bad because it might be kinda my fault. I just thought it was the best thing to do instead of leaving him by himself. I am on birth control anyways, so I am not carrying another one of his babies any time soon” 

“Jimin, you don’t have to explain yourself to me, just be safe okay? I will tell Jihyunie you had an emergency or something” he reassures, and Jimin is so thankful again for having such a person beside him. 

“What are you doing awake anyways?”

“Funny enough, I have a zoom meeting at 4 AM with a modeling agency, time zones are a bitch” he complains, and Jimin laughs. 

“What are your chances? Is this the agency you were talking about a few weeks ago-”

“Jimin?” the voice behind him calls as he stirs awake, a protective arm wraps around his waist, pulling him closer to Jungkook’s chest, his back flushed against it. “What is going on?” Jungkook asks, and it sounds a bit more like him this time, unlike last time. Another wave of his rut must be hitting him soon, because he can sense how his scent is starting to darken again, how he is starting to slowly rut his hardening dick against his ass. “Omega”, he calls, and Jimin almost whines, but remembers he is still on the phone.

“Taehyung I gotta go” 

“Steal a Rolex or two for me !” and the call goes dead. Jungkook kisses Jimin’s neck not so gently as he lines his cock with Jimin’s hole, not waiting for a response from him. He buries himself inside with a swift push, very little resistance from having gone at it not too long ago. 

“Ah, fuck-” Jungkook angles his hips, his feet planted on the bed to anchor himself. He starts thrusting without a second thought, powerful and deep, meant to make Jimin cock drunk. “W-we need to take a shower, the sheets-”

“I don’t give a fuck about some sheets” Jungkook spits, he places his free hand on Jimin’s sensitive nipples and twists, pain and pleasure runs through his body. “While you are here, there will be no second of the day you won’t be heavy with my cum, dripping out of you” 

Jungkook pulls out, Jimin’s world spins as he is pulled to the edge of the bed and picked up by his legs, his chest flushed against Jungkook’s as he is guided away from the bed. “You wanna shower baby?” Jungkook opens the door to the attached bathroom and puts Jimin down, his feet touching the cold floor as he is positioned in front of the vanity, finally being able to see himself in the mirror. 

He kinda looks a mess. His blond locks unruly, his cheeks covered in dried tears. His neck is full of healing bite marks that trail down his chest. Jimin sees Jungkook behind him, his hands creeping up on Jimin’s waist, admiring his masterpiece through the mirror. 

“You are so beautiful Jimin” Jimin blushes, because how can he have it in him to say this when he looks like a truck ran him over. “All mine” Jungkook affirms, and Jimin can feel Jungkook’s hard cock resting against Jimin’s ass. Jimin moans, he pushes his hips back as an invitation, Jungkook smirks as he lines himself up with Jimin’s hole, pushing in again.

“Gonna fuck you here” Jungkook says, pointing his words by setting a steady pace while he pushes his cock in and out. “Gonna fuck you in the shower, in the kitchen” Jungkook uses one of his hands to bend Jimin down on the vanity, making Jimin hold on to it with his hands. “Gonna make sure the only thing you want this weekend is my cock knotting you up” 

“Shit, ah-“ Jimin hold on as Jungkook fucks him until his knot starts growing again. How many can he even pop? Jimin’s slick drips down his legs and pools beneath them as Jungkoom fucks him raw in front of the big mirror in Jimin’s bathroom. “Alpha-“

Jungkook pumps Jimin’s small cock to draw more pleasure from him. He comes not too long after, legs wobbly as he tries to ride his orgasm. 

“Wanna shower now?” Jungkook asks as he pulls out, he turns on the shower and comes back to Jimin to kiss him all over. His cheeks, his temple, his collarbone. He tells him how much he wants him, how he can’t get enough of Jimin’s scent, how he wants to claim him once and for all. 

He guides them both to the shower, and the water feels warm but refreshing on his skin. Jungkook does not let Jimin go even under the water, caressing his whole body, spreading the body wash and scrubbing every surface. 

Jimin can tell the alpha is distressed by the cleaning. Jungkook’s smell fades a little as he cleans him. But as he cleans him, Jungkook is also trying to scent him, trying to make his smell cling to him as much as he can. 

When they are both clean and washed, Jungkook springs into action. He turns Jimin around, keeping his promise by shoving his cock inside him. He holds Jimin close to his chest, wrapping his arms around him as support.

He fucks him with abandon, his insides already used to the length. No pain, just pleasure from the fat head hitting his prostate repeatedly. Jungkook holds him like he never wants to let him go, like their bodies were meant to be flushed against each other. Here, lost in their touch, Jimin thinks he could be here forever. He could have the alpha beside him forever. 

It confuses him, when did this even happen? When did he let himself fall like this for the alpha? He has always blamed their attraction on their shared connection because of Jihyun. But he does not think that is what is going on. 

He remembers feeling this long before Jihyun was born. At the party seven years ago, he remembers how there was an attraction, a pull, that neither of them could explain. 

And now, seven years later, they are still here. Still seeking the connection they tried to deny for years. Especially Jimin, he tried so hard to stay away. So hard to keep his life separate. But the alpha seems to pick him apart and build him back up every time they touch. Every time they kiss. Every time they laugh, or talk. 

Jimin comes with a cry as Jungkook comes inside him again, knot nestled deep inside him. They catch their breaths as the water is turned off. They go back to bed still connected, the walk there incredibly awkward as they find a way to lay down. 

Jimin’s eyes droop as sleep overcomes him. For now, he will just enjoy this. Resting on the alpha’s arms. Chocolate invading his nostrils as his body relaxes. 

🦋

The weekend was eventful to say the least. Not that Jimin thought Jungkook would not keep his promise of fucking him all over the house, but a piece of him thought he was at least relatively joking. But no, Jungkook did not leave Jimin alone for even a second. 

His alpha had completely taken over, and his waves were getting longer and more intense. Jungkook was so possessive, even Taehyung calling to check in sent his alpha off. Jimin tried to make them meals but every time he tried,  he would just end up getting fucked in the kitchen. 

He eventually conceded and called Yoongi while Jungkook was resting to drop them some pre-made meals at the door. Luckily, Jungkook’s alpha was less reactive to his brother, but he still kept Jimin close as he opened the door to thank the man for not letting them starve. 

It is Sunday afternoon, and Jungkook’s rut broke off, his last wave hit early in the morning, he fucked Jimin one last time in bed before his scent finally calmed down, and he came back to his senses. Upon seeing the state of the house, and the amount of bites he left along Jimin’s body, Jungkook felt a bit embarrassed to say the least. 

He apologized repeatedly, and Jimin reassured him that it was fine and that he wanted to help. Jungkook asked him if he was too much, or if he said something crazy, to which Jimin replied that he was quite possessive, but it was kinda cute, which made Jungkook’s ears turn red. Apparently, his rut is one of the only subjects that can make Jungkook shy. 

They are now both freshly showered, eating away their tiredness with the last set of meals Yoongi prepared for them. They are delicious, and Jimin thanks the Gods for both brothers being good cooks. 

“Jimin, can I ask you a question? You can tell me if I am misremembering this or not” Jungkook puts his fork down as he eyes Jimin from his chair, opposite of his side of the table. 

“What happened?” Jimin replies, and the mood suddenly shifts a little. 

“Remember the first night of my rut? I think Taehyung called you and you were talking on the phone. I can’t remember much since I was really sleepy and my brain was mush with my rut, but you said something that stuck with me” Jungkook pauses, his eyes squinted as he tries to remember what exactly was said. “You said something like, ‘not carrying another one of my babies’” Jungkook recalls, and that makes Jimin drop his utensils right on top of the plate. “You especially said, ‘another’, what did you mean by that?”

“I-“ Jimin freezes, this is it. Not exactly how he expected to come clean, after being fucked for two days straight and all. “I meant just, getting pregnant again and all-“ 

“No” Jungkook stops him. “You said carry another one of his babies, my babies” Jungkook continues, and there is very little room for Jimin to get out of this now. 

“Is that what you really said?” Jungkook asks, a serious tone now. It feels like he wants confirmation, so Jimin takes the strength left in him to nod yes. He can see the wheels behind Jungkook’s eyes turning to figure out what that sentence might imply. 

“Jungkook I can explain-“

“Explain what exactly? I don’t get it. Because if that means what I think it does then…” he trails off, his eyes scanning Jimin’s for any hint that this might be a joke. 

“Jungkook, I-“ Jimin tries, but he doesn’t have much else to reply but an “I’m sorry,” to the alpha. 

“Sorry for what?” Jungkook looks at him, confused, his scent distressed, the air smells like chocolate burning, Jimin’s heart races as the alpha pronounces “Tell me the truth Jimin, please” 

“Okay, okay just, please know I was going to tell you eventually” Jimin tries to soften the blow. 

“Jimin, please, just tell me” Jungkook pleads, his eyes frowned. He doesn’t look angry, he looks desperate. Jimin knows Jungkook has probably figured out what he wants to say, it breaks Jimin’s heart that now, he just wants the truth to come out of Jimin’s mouth. 

“Remember when I left to have online classes seven years ago?” Jimin asks, and it immediately looks like a switch flips on Jungkook’s head. Like puzzle pieces finally connected. “I left because I was pregnant with Jihyun” 

“I figured that was why” Jungkook replies. “But I just never thought-“

“And remember what happened weeks before I left?” 

“The party” Jungkook mumbles. “Jimin-“

“He is yours,” Jimin spits out. His heart is going at 300 miles per hour, he can feel tears already welling up in his eyes. “Jihyun, he is yours.”

🦋

If you had told Jungkook that he would be sitting here, after a weekend long fucking marathon with the omega of his dreams admitting to him that they have a pup together, Jungkook would have laughed. 

It feels like the universe is pulling a prank on him. Jihyun is his. His son. A son that he didn’t even know existed before a few months ago. Jungkook does not know whether to laugh or to cry. Now he understands why his alpha was acting up when he was close to the pup. Now he understands the unspoken connection. 

He also now understands why Jimin disappeared from his life for six years. It was to hide all of this, but why? Jungkook is clueless. He is frozen, staring into the omega’s eyes for any hint of this being a joke. But Jimin wouldn’t joke about this, right? 

A few days ago, all he could think about was a way to keep their relationship professional. To respect Jimin’s wishes, to find a way to work around the omega because he didn’t want to complicate his life because of his pup. Now, their pup. 

It seems so obvious now, Jihyun is seven, and Jimin disappeared after the party. Avoided him, iced him out. And now that Jungkook thinks about it, Jihyun looks so much like himself. His big eyes, his round nose… fuck. 

This is fucked up. 

“I’m so sorry Jungkook, I was going to tell you Friday but things happened and you went into a rut. I just-“ 

“Why” Jungkook asks, his voice trembling as he holds back… anger? Tears? He doesn’t even know. “Why would you hide this from me? How could you hide him from me?”

“I was scared” Jimin admits, tears falling down his eyes as he tries to explain. His scent is so sour, which distresses his alpha tremendously. But now is not the time to let his alpha cloud his judgment. “I was so scared. I didn’t know who you were, at least not too personally. We were strangers who had a good time and hooked up. I was scared I was trapping you, I was scared of what people would say. We are not from the same background… I had to work my way through law school and I am still in debt. I was scared of being called a gold digger. That you would reject us-“ 

“I would never reject you” Jungkook interrupts . “Ever, not now, not seven years ago”. Jungkook shakes his head, so much he has missed. Seven birthdays, seven Christmases, first days in school, first words, first time walking… he missed all of those. 

He is angry, angry but sad that Jimin at a certain point, chose to save himself over the fear of the potential repercussions of getting tangled with someone like him. “ You didn’t even give me a chance, you just ran. Ran with my son, and not only that, gave me the cold shoulder for six years. Didn’t even let me see him from afar” his voice is getting higher and higher by the second. He does not want to yell at the omega, but his anger is getting hard to manage. 

Jimin sobs, and it breaks his heart. But how can he deal with this? 

“I was so scared,” Jimin whispers. “I- I just wanted to do what was best. I thought, maybe after he is born I would tell you. Maybe after I had enough money to take care of him and deal with legal battles over him. But one year turned into two, and then three, then seven. We were comfortable, I thought I could avoid it”

Jungkook stays quiet, trying to understand, trying to see how this could have even happened. “No one knew” Jimin continues, shame clear from his speech. “Not even Taehyung. Only I knew you were the father, until the day you came to play with Jihyun at my apartment. I felt so guilty, it was killing me inside. It has been for years, I just…” he pauses, swallowing the lump on his throat. He wipes the tears falling rapidly off his eyes. “I was a coward, and I am sorry” 

Jungkook takes the apology in. It makes sense why Jimin did what he did, the media can be brutal on them. Exposing a child to that… gets complicated. But Jungkook could have helped, he would have gone to any lengths to make sure they were safe. That Jihyun was safe. 

“I know this is terrible, and I know there is no reason for you to trust me. But please don’t punish Jihyun for it. He is so attached to you, it would kill me if you left us- him, because of me. You don’t have to talk to me, we can arrange custody accordingly, but please don’t break his heart”

“I would never do that” Jungkook responds. “And it hurts me so much that you even think I would be capable of abandoning him or you” Jungkook gets up from his seat, and starts to walk away towards his study. 

“Jungkook please, I am sorry. Just talk to me-“

“I think you should leave” Jungkook says, his tone emotionless as he continues. “Thank you for helping, and thank you for the meals. But I really think you should leave” 

“Jungkook-“

“I will see you Jimin” he doesn’t wait before getting in his office and slamming the door. He finally lets himself feel the anger, the betrayal, the pain of all of this and cries. He cries until his throat hurts. He cries until he feels like he can finally get up from the spot on the couch he has planted himself for the last hour. 

He didn’t hear Jimin leave, but when he opens the door, he doesn’t find the omega anywhere. Was it immature to storm out? Yes. But after being lied to for seven years, he gets to be immature. He gets to be angry. 

He opens himself a bottle of whiskey and pours himself a glass. He lost count of how many glasses he poured. He is alone, in his kitchen aisle, drowning his sorrows on expensive alcohol. And it hurts. 

It hurts that he can still smell the omega everywhere, how his cherry blossom clings to every surface. Or maybe is just his alpha being sensitive. Maybe it is their connection that makes Jungkook see Jimin everywhere he goes. Everything he sees is through the lenses of someone who adores the omega so much it hurts. 

He can’t think straight, so he does what he always does when he can’t think. Call the only person he knows that can help him through this. 

🦋

Jungkook has been rotting in bed for a couple of days now. This is the first time in his adult life, where he has allowed himself to miss work these many times. The only other time he remembers staying home for so long was when he was 15 years old and he had his first rut. Now that he thinks about it, they have always been intense and emotional, but he thinks it is because of his own personality of wearing his heart on his sleeve.

That has always been his downfall. But does that grant him change? Should he not be as easily moved? He doesn’t know, all he knows is that Jimin’s scent is starting to fade entirely off his bed sheets, and even after washing them, the smell still lingered for a couple of days. Now, after a week and a half, the smell is almost gone, which Jungkook does not know whether he should be happy or sad about it. 

All of this hit him at once, his rut, finding out about Jihyun, everything has culminated to an absolute shit show of fuckery he does not want to deal with. Jimin tried calling him a couple of times, but after no response, he eventually stopped. 

Yoongi, on the other hand, has barely left his side. Since the day Jimin told him about their child, Yoongi came running to console the alpha. He was shocked, as anyone would, but also sympathetic. He let Jungkook cry on his shoulder, he let him vent on how hard it is for him to do the right thing and forgive Jimin, or at least have a conversation with him. But he can’t get himself to do it. He can’t get himself to look at the omega without seeing the betrayal. Without seeing their beautiful son, who he didn’t get a chance to see grow. 

Jungkook is now in his second tub of mint chocolate ice cream, drowning his sorrows while rewatching How I Met Your Mother, for the second time. His assistant has the note to not bother him, and his brother is capable enough to handle his business for a couple of days. 

Yoongi gets to his apartment around the same time he does everyday, Jungkook hears the code of his front door beep as Yoongi comes inside with another bag of meals for him. Although he loves cooking, his kitchen feels haunted. Haunted by Jimin’s smile, by his body holding him, by his laugh,his moans. He can’t go in there without his brain being overflown with thoughts about the omega. 

“Kook?” Yoongi asks from the bottom floor, his voice echoing through the empty house. Jungkook hears footsteps sounding through the round staircase, getting louder as Yoongi approaches his room. Yoongi opens the door and approaches his bed, sitting next to his brother, still in his work clothes.

“Do you really have to lay down with your outside clothes on my bed?” Jungkook asks, his brother rolls his eyes from beside him as they both look at the tv on the wall in front of the bed. 

“You have been in bed for two days, I think my clothes are fine” Yoongi answers, and Jungkook does not have much to offer since it is true, he has been in bed for two days. But it is because he might have hit the depression stage of the five stages of grief. 

“Whatever” Jungkook answers. 

“Are you really just going to sit here eating ice cream forever?” Yoongi asks. “ Jungkook, you need to talk to him” Yoongi says as he lowers the volume of the TV, making sure to address his brother more seriously.  “ This isn’t right, the more time you spend here sulking, the more time you are wasting and not spending with your son”

“ A son I didn’t even know I had a week ago,” Jungkook replies. “A son he hid from me”.

“A son you did know, you just didn’t know was yours” Yoongi rationalizes. “Look, I understand that this situation is bad, and that you are hurt, you are allowed to feel that” Jungkook takes in the words as his brother sets the leftover ice cream at the bed side table. “ But from what you explained, his reasons are not invalid. I am not an omega, so I can’t speak on what it is like, but to be young and pregnant by someone you barely know, and that could ruin your life with a snap of their fingers, it has to be pretty scary. Especially because our parents are very well known lawyers, if you were anyone else, you could use that to make sure he never has the job he wants in this industry” 

Jungkook understands that, he does, that is why he can’t even bring himself to be too mad. “But he didn’t even give me a chance, he just ran” Jungkook continued. “I would have cared for them, I would have never abandoned them or thought he trapped me, his pregnancy as much my fault as it was his, and I wasn’t there to help him. I know I really like him now, even after this, but I think I was head over heels for him then too. I just, I feel like he stole something so important for me, I don’t know how to continue” Yoongi nods.

“I really like him, Yoongi” Jungkook admits. “ Everytime I see him, even six years ago, my alpha can’t rest until he is in my arms. When I saw Jihyun for the first time in Jimin’s office, it was like the world clicked in place. It was like my alpha knew that everything I needed was in that room. When I bought him the toy, when I saw him smile, fuck, I wanted to keep making that child happy in any way I could” Jungkook wipes his mouth, tears start to build in his eyes at his confession. “ I felt insane, I questioned if maybe my alpha was acting up, I even went to the doctors and they gave me those fucked up supressants that triggered my rut. They were all I could think about, and now to know he was mine all along, I don’t know how to act”.

“Isn’t this the best scenario tho” Yoongi intervenes. “I mean, if anything, you know there wasn’t anything wrong. Jungkook, the man you are in love with is the father of your son. Whatever happened in the past, Jimin had his reasons for what he did. You can have him apologize and redeem himself eventually, but you can’t keep beating yourself up by something you had no control over. You lost seven years, but you have the rest of your life to be in that kid’s life. So much to still experience, but you won’t see that if you stay here bed rotting and drowning in mint chocolate”.

“I’m not in love” Jungkook rebuttals. 

“Really? That is what you heard after all of that?” Yoongi responds, he rolls his eyes as he gets up from the bed. “Look, I talked to Hoseok and Jimin is not doing the best either. I will even drive you there, but please talk to him”. 

“He is not doing okay?” Jungkook asks, his scent spikes as he feels his alpha get more and more reckless at the omega suffering. 

“How did you expect he would be doing?” Yoongi asks, and Jungkook shrugs. He guesses it makes sense. 

“I don’t even know… I guess our last talk didn’t end the best” 

“Yeah, you basically quicked him out”. 

“I didn’t!”

“You told him to leave and locked yourself in your study” Yoongi rebuttals. 

“Okay, okay fine” Jungkook concedes. “Fine, I will talk to him, okay? Just get off my bed with your dirty outside clothes”         

“Again, you haven’t left your bed in two days” .

🦋

Jimin is trying okay. He is trying so hard to not let how much his omega is dying from inside out affect the way he does his job, or treat his son. It is a Thursday night, and Jimin is trying to go over the spreadsheet he failed to do this morning. He couldn’t fucking concentrate in his office at the firm, and he can’t do it now. He is looking at his computer blankly, going on his phone, scrolling through tik tok and looking back up only to type nothing. 

He has responsibilities, and he can’t slack on them. This is why he doesn’t do relationships, although this situation is a bit different then usual relationship problems, he still sees why those things are complicated, how they can affect his day to day life, and he does not want it to hinder him. 

But why does his heart tell him something else? Why does he miss Jungkook so much? Why is it that his omega has been screaming at him for letting the alpha go, for not putting up a fight when he told him to leave? He wanted to do the right thing, he wanted to give Jungkook space even if it meant him staying away for a bit, and even if it meant fighting every instinct in his body to seek the alpha’s embrace. 

And now, he is sitting here, three hours after he promised he could get it done in 30 minutes. Jihyun is already asleep. He had an eventful day at kindergarten since there was a birthday party, and he knocked out after dinner. Jimin tried for the past few days to not let it show to his son, to not signal the internal shit show his life is right now since kids don’t have to carry the emotional burden of his parents. However, Jimin ponders if it isn’t only fair to also reveal the identity of his father to Jihyun. Would he understand? Would he be mad? He can’t take his own son thinking he is a bad person too, it might actually kill him. 

He gets a small break from his chain of thought as the doorbell rings. He grunts and puts on his slippers to go to the door. Who the fuck is bothering him at this hour? 

He reaches the door handle and before he can even open it, he knows exactly who is on the other side. 

Chocolate. 

Jimin swings the door open and of course, Jungkook is on the other side. He doesn’t look much like himself, the dark circle under his eyes, the platted pyjamas and casual t-shirt is not something Jimin is used to seeing. 

“Hello” Jimin offers. 

“Hey” Jungkook responds awkwardly. “Can I come in?” Jungkook asks, and Jimin opens the door wider to let the men step inside. They walk to the living room and sit beside each other on the couch, a couple of inches of distance between them. The air between is tense to say the least, the sound of the clock on the wall is the only thing heard for a couple of seconds before Jimin speaks. 

“I am sorry for kicking you out the other day, it was immature” 

“No” Jimin shakes his head. “You don’t have to apologize for that. I should be apologizing” he has practiced how this could go multiple times, but now that the alpha is sitting here, letting him explain himself, is so much harder than he could imagine. “ I know how much I hurt you, I know how I stole the option of a choice from you for just running away. And Jungkook, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry. There is nothing I can do to bring you back seven years, but I can only let you know now that Jihyun is so much happier when you are around. I am so much happier when you are around, and I curse myself so much for taking so long to realize how much I was missing out for being so scared of the repercussions of my actions”. 

Jimin looks down as he continues, uncontrollable tears falling down his eyes. “I know I said I didn’t want to complicate things, which was silly enough because you aren’t complicated, I am, I get too much in mind head, and I am terrified of getting hurt again, of putting Jihyun in a position where my partner is a detriment to our well being once more” 

“What do you mean ‘again’?” Jungkook asks, a frown in his face. 

“I was married, it was after I moved out and had Jihyun. I met this guy who I thought would give us stability, a home” Jimin continues, his scent souring as he remembers the things Hajoon did. “He was a cheater, an abuser and he didn’t respect me. I used to think that maybe he was just stressed because when we were dating, he seemed okay, but after… He started calling me names, saying that I am spent and broken because I have a son with no ‘real father’” Jimin sobs more, his heart breaks as he recalls how hurtful everything was. “ I managed to leave when I came to my senses. I am so glad until this day that Tae and Joon got me out of there, and that I never shared a mating bite with him. He begged me for one, but I just wasn’t ready because-”

Jimin stops, and he looks directly into Jungkook’s eyes when he says: “Because I always thought that maybe we would meet again, maybe I would be courageous enough to tell you about Jihyun. That life would bring me back to you, and that the mating bite would be yours. My omega always knew that, my own son rejected almost every alpha that came in close proximity to me, except for you. I tried to avoid it for so long, I tried to deny it for so long, but after our last talk, I understood how much I have been depriving myself of happiness from the fear of being hurt”. 

Jungkook is frozen in his seat, his scent spikes in confusion, maybe even amusement, but he does not stop Jimin from talking. Instead, he covers Jimin’s hands that were resting on his lap with his own. 

“I-” Jimin sniffles. “I really like you Jeon Jungkook, and our son likes you too, I hope there is space in your heart to give us a chance” Jimin feels Jungkook’s hand squeeze his own as Jimin finishes his speech. “I can’t speak for my past decisions anymore, I was so scared back then, because I didn’t know you well, but I know now, and I know that you would never do anything to harm me or Jihyun intentionally”. 

As Jimin finishes, Jungkook raises one of his hands to wipe Jimin’s tears off his face. Jimin lifts his gaze once more to look into the alpha’s eyes, who look more apologetic than anything else. 

“I really like you too Jimin” Jungkook admits, and Jimin can finally take the deep breath he was holding. “ After talking to Yoongi, I realized that I was hurt, and I had a reason to. But I would be even worse if you slipped through my fingers once more” Jungkook gets closer to Jimin, he holds the omega’s cheek in his hand lovingly. “ I can’t say I am completely over it, I need time for that, but I just can’t stand to not be part of your lives anymore. If you let me, I am willing to be the partner you deserve, and the dad Jihyun deserves. I am not perfect, which hurts to admit, and I might not be experienced with children, but I will try everything to make you guys happy”

“You make us plenty happy now” Jimin admits, and that gets a smile out of Jungkook, whose own eyes were getting watery. 

“I am glad” Jungkook offers. “Can I kiss you Jimin?” 

“Yes” and Jungkook wastes no time to bring their lips together. Now without the lies, now without the tension, just admiration. Just two people finally over the games and the teasing, and finally ready for a new chapter in their lives. 

Jungkook deepens the kiss, holding Jimin steady with a hand on his waist. He pushes the omega forwards, making him fall to the couch as he settles between the omega’s legs, his tongue pushing inside Jimin’s mouth, ripping a moan out of him. 

“Jungkook” Jimin says, and he is so happy he can finally moan his name without fear, without guilt. “Jihyun is sleeping, not here”

“Right” Jungkook responds, peeling off from Jimin and standing up, he offers his hand to help Jimin stand. “Not here” is all Jimin hears before being picked up, and put on the alpha’s strong shoulders. Jimin gasps, he laughs as Jungkook tries to keep quiet as he carries him to Jimin’s bedroom. 

He is thrown on the bed, softly, because this time, it is not like Jungkook’s rut. Their kisses are less urgent, slower. Their touches softer, their praises more sweet.  They take their time taking each other apart, clothing item at a time. He is still salty about Jungkook ripping his boxer, which Jungkook offers to buy him 30 more of the same pair. 

They kiss until they are both naked, lost in the carefulness of their touch. Jungkook does not rush as he preps Jimin, he kisses his neck, scenting him to cover him in his chocolaty scent that blends perfectly with his cherry blossom. It sends shivers through Jimin’s spine as he smells the air blending their scents together. A perfect match. His omega purrs in content as Jimin gets closer and closer, Jungkook’s two fingers hitting his prostate over again.

Jungkook doesn’t stop praising him as Jimin comes untouched, telling him how good he is, how good he tastes and smells. How much his alpha is crazy for him, how he can’t wait to share a mating bite. Which outside of rut, means so much more. Jungkook lines himself up between Jimin’s legs, he holds him close as he thrusts inside, his mouth never leaving Jimin’s neck as he breaks him apart bit by bit. 

His fangs sharp as they graze Jimin’s neck while he fucks him deeply. Jimin finally understands what the movies were about, what the romance novels, tv shows and songs about this feeling really meant. How indescribable it is to have a fated mate, worshipping your body, leaving no corner untouched from how much want and lust fills their brain. 

Jimin knows he is finally in the right place, with the right person. He knows that no one will ever make him feel the way Jungkook does, how no one’s touch will make his body burn and yearn for such affection. Jimin lifts Jungkook’s face from his neck to look directly into his eyes. Those beautiful dark eyes, who even when Jimin was not the best, never wavered in the love they communicated to him. 

“Mate me” Jimin affirms, no heat or rut fogging his brain. “Mate me Jungkook, claim me” Jimin asks, and Jungkook freezes.  He searches Jimin’s eyes for any hint of hesitation or doubt.  

“Are you sure?” Jungkook asks, his pupils blown wide, his scent darkening at the prospect. “It can be painful if you are not in heat, are you sure?”

“I am sure Jungkook” Jimin places a kiss on the alpha’s lips, grazing the beauty mark beneath them. “ Make me yours alpha” Jimin requests, and Jungkook looks like he just won the lottery from how wide his eyes go. 

“I will mate you” Jungkook says, diving into a kiss and resuming his thrusts, his knot growing at the base of his hard cock as he pushes it inside Jimin’s hole. “I will mate you a million times if I have you Park Jimin”

“ That isn’t possible,” Jimin giggles. 

“I don’t even care” Jungkook responds, and he continues his intrusions as he licks Jimin’s neck, scenting him and releasing calming pheromones to protect Jimin from the pain at least a little bit. Jungkook’s knot grows by the minute, and he keeps thrusting it inside until it catches his rim entirely. 

“Jungkook-” Jimin moans, his orgasm approaching fast again. “Touch me alpha, please” he asks, and Jungkook fulfills his wish by grasping his hard cock and pumping it a couple of times. Jimin arches off the bed as his orgasm hits, and Jungkook takes the opportunity to finally bite, breaking through the skin with his fangs, drawing blood. 

Jimin screams, not necessarily because of pain, but of pure ecstasy, the feeling is indescribable. It is like he can not only scent Jimin, but feel him through the throbbing mating bite. 

Jungkook turns them around so that Jimin is on top, this position pushes the knot further in, making both of them moan as Jungkook angles his hips, chasing his own orgasm. “Bite me Park Jimin, make me yours too” Jungkoo pleads, and who is Jimin to deny him of that. 

His own fangs grow as he bites the alpha’s neck, making him reach his peak as he comes deep inside the omega, his knot pulsating waves of come that feel endless. They both rest there, catching their breaths, taking in their new status as a newly mated couple. 

“Jimin” Jungkook whispers, but Jimin hears. He can feel the emotions going through Jungkook, happiness, satisfaction, lust. “I love you” Jungkook says, and Jimin smiles, he felt that emotion too. 

“I love you too, Jungkook”. They kiss, they cry, they share this moment together as they finally feel reunited. After years of feeling like life tore them apart unfairly. Jimin’s biggest hope became true. “And I am glad life brought me back to you”.

Epilogue:

1 year and six months later 

Jungkook didn’t really want a party. Turning 33 is a wake up call at best, he is getting old. But he is okay with that, because he gets to get old beside Jimin, he thinks he can grow old forever. 

Jimin insisted they throw a party, he wanted to show off their new house, which took months for them to plan out. The decoration was the part Jungkook wanted to put the most effort in, no expenses were saved to please both him and his omega’s wishes. They wanted a big house, but cosy enough to not feel robotic and raise a family in. 

Moving into the neighborhood close to his house was more of his own parent’s decision than his own. When he first told them everything that had happened, they were rightfully so confused, and a bit upset at Jimin for hiding all of this. His reasoning was sound to their ears, but they were sad of not knowing they had a grandson all along. But they slowly warmed up to Jihyun, and who wouldn't? That kid is cute as hell. They wanted to be close, and make sure to give them support when they needed, so they bought their house in the same neighborhood. 

It felt like a good decision, it was safe, good schools, and was close enough to the city so they didn’t have long drives. At first, being so close to his family all the time might have felt like a trap, but now with his house full of his friends and family, laughter and conversation filling the air, Jungkook feels content. 

They sing him happy birthday and toast, to health and happiness, they say. And Jungkook knows he already has everything he wants right here. 

“Baby” Jimin snaps him out of his thoughts as he hands Jungkook a small box. They are in the living room next to the fireplace, sitting down together as most of their friends and family are in the kitchen. Jihyun is sitting between Jimin’s crossed legs as they both wait for Jungkook to open the box. “It is kind of a gift from us both, more mine than Jihyun’s in a way tho” Jimin giggles, and Jungkook can sense the mischief in his tone. 

He opens the box, only to find a card on top of it first, beneath it, there is something wrapped around a paper towel, which Jungkook ignores from now in favor of reading the note. It says:

‘Dear Papa, 

Thank you for coming into our life. Appa is always happy when we are all together, and I am happy when we are all together. I love you so much, and thank you for being the best dad and loving spiderman too! I was so happy when we saw them in the movies and I want to see movies with you forever and ever. 

Kisses Jihyun!’ 

Jungkook reads the first part and he can’t help but let tears fall down his eyes. His chest swells in contentment and thoughts he can’t even put to words. The calligraphy was messy, the nine year old still mastering his writing, but still, he loves every word on this paper and he wants to keep it forever. He continues reading: 

‘Now I will take over, 

Dear Jungkook, 

I know we didn't have the best start, but now, I can not imagine my life without you in it. I can’t describe the happiness and hope you brought into my life. Me and Jihyun will forever be grateful that you gave us a chance, and that you became the great father and husband you are. 

I love you, and I will forever hope that the love grows every single day. 

Kisses, from me, Jihyun, and ?’

“A question mark?” Jungkook asks, confused, and Jimin points at the other object inside the box as an answer. 

“Unwrap it” Jimin responds. And Jungkook puts the note and the box down and lifts the other object. He unwraps the paper and gasps. A pregnancy test, and it's positive. 

“Jimin” Jungkook sobs. “Oh God Jimin, are you serious?”

“Yes” Jimin tears up, he holds Jihyun close and announces. “We are having a baby” Jimin says, and Jungkook rushes to crush both of them with a hug. So many emotions rush through his mind, they have been trying for months with no results. This gift, on his birthday, is the best thing he could have wished for. 

“A baby?” Jihyun asks. “I am gonna have a sibling?” 

“Yes Jihyunie” Jimin responds, kissing his son's head. “You are going to be a big brother” Jimin answers, and Jihyun jumps in joy as he, not so subtly, yells. “ I AM GOING TO BE A BROTHER, GRANDMA LOOK” 

Jihyun runs towards the people in the kitchen, and Jimin and Jungkook freeze looking at each other in disbelief. Maybe not the best idea to do this here, but what is happiness if not to be shared? 

“Are you guys serious?”

“Jimin, a baby? OMG What?”

“Guys, is he for real?” Their friends ask excitedly, and Jungkook has very little options but to show them the positive test. They give them their congratulations and hug the couple who is expecting. 

Jungkook has those moments where he feels like time is frozen, and he is looking at this from the outside. This is his life, a beautiful partner, an amazing family and friends, and love. 

Love that he hopes he can give endlessly forever. 

The End.
