Chapter Text
Jimin should’ve known that preparing for a wedding was not an easy task. Even though most of it was being handled by Seokjin, god bless him, it was still completely chaotic all around. It was not even a grand ceremony, they were just supposed to have an outdoor wedding in a venue they had finalised a week ago. Nobody other than their families was supposed to be there, which included Jungkook’s parents too. Jimin had to approach this subject very carefully to the alpha, but he believed that both Jungkook and his parents would be regretting somewhere along the line if they didn’t attend the wedding because of the current situation. It was not an easy task but Jimin managed to convince Jungkook, as the alpha finished it by saying he didn’t care if they were attending or not so Jimin could do as he wished. When he asked Jungkook’s parents though, both of them looked astonished. Jeon Junghoon just nodded his head silently as Hwayong stared at him with tears in her eyes.
Hoseok was about to be present there, along with Mark and Yugyeom who had become very close to Jimin during those last months.
As thankful as Jimin was to Seokjin, the omega was also the one making most of the fuss and turning this peaceful affair into something grand. It was not as if Jimin was not enjoying this, but he would be lying if he said all those fitting appointments and meetings with the wedding planners were not tiring. But finally, all the preparations were done and their wedding was supposed to take place three days later.
Jimin laughed as he pulled the zipper of his bag close, seeing the sulky alpha sitting in front of him like a pissed-off pup.
“You’re laughing?”, The alpha asked with a completely betrayed expression, making Jimin laugh even harder.
“Namjoon hyung was right, you can be very dramatic sometimes”, Jimin said with a chuckle as he made his way to the alpha.
Jungkook scowled at him at that, “Or maybe I just love you more than you love me”.
Jimin rolled his eyes, “It’s just two days, I think you’ll survive”, he smiled teasingly.
Jungkook just pulled him in front of himself with a pout, hugging Jimin’s waist and nuzzling his face in the omega’s stomach, “Three! And this is not what I had in mind when I proposed, what kind of stupid tradition is this! We ARE married already”, he whined once again.
Jimin couldn’t help but throw his head back in laughter, “It is what it is alpha, and it would be ridiculous if we went from here together to get married anyway. Besides, you’re going to enjoy being single for once, you know?”
“I don’t want that”, he mumbled stubbornly.
Jimin’s face split in a fond smile and he caressed the alpha’s hair softly, “I know. I’ll be back here before you know it”.
“Not true but okay, I’ll try to survive”, Jungkook sighed and leaned back, standing up as he caressed the omega’s cheeks with his thumbs, placing a soft kiss on his lips.
Just then, there was a knock on the door along with a muffled voice, “Minnie, you ready?”
Jungkook groaned as Jimin giggled and made his way to open the door, seeing Taehyung on the other side.
“I am but he isn’t”, Jimin whispered.
“I can hear you”, Jungkook called out from behind them, now standing there with crossed arms.
Taehyung also laughed, “It’s okay hyung, I’ll keep you company”
“Maybe you can have a sleepover at this chance, I’m sure you’ll love it”, Jimin addressed the alphas and chuckled seeing their eyes sparkling at the suggestion.
“Let’s go now or Yoongi hyung will scold my ears off”, Jimin prodded Taehyung and the alpha walked inside to pick his bag up for him before leaving first.
Jimin had to placate the alpha a little more before finally making his way to the Min house, as that was where he was supposed to stay until their wedding ceremony.
Taehyung dropped him off, and to his surprise, not only Yoongi but Hoseok was also there. It almost felt like they were having one of the usual sleepovers back in college, and Jimin figured it wouldn’t be too bad.
The next day he heard how Jungkook really stayed the night in Taehyung’s wing instead, and how Seokjin woke up in the middle of the night, alarmed to find his bed empty only to discover that his alpha couldn’t resist the temptation and went over to stay with them as well. It was also needed for the alpha, Jimin realised. All three of them needed that in fact, and Jimin was glad that they got an opportunity to spend time together as they used to before everything had gone wrong.
He would also be having the time of his life, if not for his nervous jitters regarding the wedding. It was completely ridiculous even in his own mind, but somehow he couldn’t help himself. It was also not helping that he missed the alpha terribly, way too accustomed to being with him by now.
Jimin was sitting in the living room the night before the wedding ceremony. Yoongi and Hoseok were asleep already, and he was also supposed to be but somehow he couldn’t sleep. He got startled by a noise, only to see that it was his uncle.
“Jimin? Is that you?”, he asked as Jimin didn’t even turn the lights on, just sitting there in the darkness.
“Yeah uncle”, he nervously replied.
He took a glass from the kitchen and poured some water on it before chugging it down. Then he made his way to the couch and took a seat beside Jimin.
“Nervous?”, he asked, patting Jimin’s head.
Jimin blushed in the dark, but nodded his head, hearing a soft chuckle the next second.
“That’s normal, pup. Nothing to be embarrassed about”, he said kindly.
“But isn’t it ridiculous? I have been married for a while now, I literally came back here just two nights ago”.
“That’s also true. But back then you didn’t have a wedding, things were very different for you”, Jimin nodded his head.
“But beneath all this nervousness you’re happy, aren’t you?”, his uncle asked.
Jimin felt a smile creeping up his face instantly, “I am, uncle”.
“I’m glad then, I’m happy too. He really is the best alpha for you, I’m sure your parents would’ve loved him”, his uncle stated in a content voice, making Jimin look at him with a questioning gaze.
“That day when he asked to speak with me alone, did he tell you what we talked about?”
Jimin shook his head, only now recalling that event.
“He apologised to me”, Jimin’s eyes widened at that.
“For what, uncle?”
His uncle laughed, “That’s what I was wondering too, until he explained that you didn’t deserve to be married in the way you did. And he would’ve never proceeded with the wedding had he been in his own mind without courting you properly and without asking for my permission before doing so. And that’s what he did, he asked for my blessing and told me that he wanted to propose to you for marriage and mating”.
Jimin didn’t even realise that he had started sniffing, not knowing how to process the information. All his life, alphas sent mating proposals to his uncle as if his opinion didn’t even matter, and now Jungkook had not only respected his uncle by asking for his permission but also proposed to the omega in the sweetest way possible.
“I know this must be overwhelming. I had my doubts Jimin, the first time and even after knowing everything. But he washed all my worries away with those words, now I can feel assured that I fulfilled my responsibilities towards you properly. He is a good alpha, and he loves you, he’ll keep you happy”.
Jimin nodded while wiping his tears, smiling at him afterwards. He had already known this but knowing that his only guardian also thought so made him feel even more content.
“Go get some sleep pup, or else your alpha will see your dark circles and think we didn’t let you rest”, his uncle teased while getting up, making Jimin laugh as he also made his way to Yoongi’s room, finally feeling sleepy.
Jimin was dressed in a creamy white suit, which was sparkling with tiny white stones on the cuffs and collars, as well as embedded in intricate designs all over the coat. The front of the coat was left open with the white shirt with embroidered flowers showing, while his creamy white slacks hugged his figure nicely. His blonde hair had been parted in the middle and styled into soft curls that fell softly around his face.
Yoongi had spent an obnoxious amount of time doing his makeup as if he was a blank canvas, and Jimin had to admit that he had never looked prettier. The makeup was very light as it was daytime, his cheeks dusted with light peachy blush while the eyes had been highlighted with some neutral shades that looked both simple and elegant. His lips though were painted in a glossy coating of peachy pink that made them look even more luscious and kissable.
Jimin heard a whistle as he was looking at himself through the mirror, whirling around to find Hoseok at the door.
“I can’t imagine your alpha not fainting or crying after seeing you today”, he said with a bright smile, “You look breathtaking Jiminnie, Yoongi clearly outdid himself”.
“Oh he will cry for sure, how Jimin looks is not even a factor for that”, Yoongi chuckled, making Jimin roll his eyes with blushing cheeks.
They were in the venue already, it was a resort and they had been occupying some cabins on one side for the preparations. Again, Jimin didn’t even catch a glimpse of the alpha because they were occupying the opposite side of the venue, in some other cabins. Jimin could almost imagine Jungkook’s pouty face after realising he won’t be seeing the omega before the ceremony.
“Minn- oh my god”, Taehyung barged into their cabin out of nowhere but stopped in his tracks when his eyes fell on Jimin.
“Hyung is sooo gonna lose his shit today”, he grinned widely, making the omegas chuckle.
“That’s what we were just saying as well”, Hoseok laughed.
Jimin saw how his eyes softened when they landed on Yoongi, “You are so talented Yoongi-sshi”.
The omega just mumbled a shy thank you, and Jimin could hear Hoseok snort from behind.
“I came to check if you’re ready, I’ll inform them that you are”, he said and made his way out but then stopped to turn back again, “By the way, I can’t really say that you won’t lose your mind too. Hyung looks fabulous, we have Seokjin hyung to fuss over him too you know?”, he winked at Jimin and then walked out, leaving his heart racing at the thought of the alpha.
“Can you please stop fidgeting for a moment?”, Taehyung could hear Seokjin’s frustrated voice before he even made his way inside the cabin.
“I’m nervous!”, Jungkook said with an offended expression.
“You should be hyung, Jimin looks like an angel”, Taehyung supplied unhelpfully as he entered.
“Did you hear that? You don’t want to look like a troll beside him, do you? Just sit still for ten minutes, you impatient alpha”, Seokjin huffed.
Taehyung laughed, Jungkook looked nothing like a troll, far from it in fact. He was dressed in almost a black version of what Jimin had been wearing, and he looked regal. It was just Seokjin’s perfectionism and competitiveness speaking. He styled the alpha’s hair a bit more, making the waves more prominent before working on his makeup. Thankfully, Jungkook seemed to have settled as he let Seokjin put his finishing touches.
“I’ll tell Namjoon hyung that both of you are ready, it’s almost time for the ceremony”, he said and then left the room to Namjoon who had been overseeing all the arrangements.
There was a knock on the door and Jimin thought it was Taehyung again, but he was shocked to see that it was Jungkook’s parents.
“Can we talk to you for a bit?”, Jeon Junghoon asked. The indication was clear, they wanted to talk to him alone, and Jimin nodded after thinking for a moment, Yoongi and Hoseok walked out.
“I wanted to give you something”, Jeon Hwayong said as she made her way to Jimin.
He was handed a small white box, which he opened to see a gorgeous diamond brooch, sparking beautifully as the light reflected on the crystals.
“It was given to me by my father-in-law, and it belonged to Jungkook’s grandma”, she explained.
“But- this-“, it was a family heirloom then, but shouldn’t Seokjin have it then?
“It was originally a hairpin”, she chuckled, “But that will have no use to you so I had it modified a bit. My father-in-law loved Jungkook more than anyone else and I just knew that this must be kept for his omega”, she clarified.
“I wanted to give it to you after your marriage, but it didn’t feel right. I had almost forced you into this marriage and it was supposed to be for his omega, not his spouse only”.
Jimin nodded, “I don’t blame you for it, you brought me to him, no matter the reasons”.
“I regret a lot of things Jimin, but this is not one of them. It was perhaps the only good thing I had ever done for my pup”, her voice got thicker, and Junghoon walked up to put his hand on her shoulder.
“We know we have no right to feel hurt by his treatment, we brought it upon us. And we will try our best to be there for them now, in any way possible. I know it will take a lot of time, maybe neither of our sons will ever forgive us. But we wanted to thank you for everything Jimin, even though we have no right to. You are the one who made everything right, you did what we should have done long ago. We had been selfish to always prioritize our own happiness and duties, but believe me, we love our babies. We always did.”, Jeon Junghoon’s voice broke, and Jimin could feel himself tearing up, taking deep breaths to will it down.
“They are good people, abeoji. Both Jungkook and Taehyung are, as long as you’re sincere and keep trying, they will forgive you someday. Because in the end, they are two pups who always wanted their parent’s affection, they are hurt but it’s up to you now, to finally treat them how they deserve”, Jimin said softly and saw as Hwayong finally broke down crying.
“I’m so glad he has you. Please keep him happy, he deserves everything after all he has been through. We were in love and that had torn everything apart, and we didn’t even realise when we started to neglect our own pups while trying to make up for the mess we created in the pack. But now we will try our best, even if we don’t get forgiven, we will keep trying”, she whispered and Jimin nodded.
“Put this on me?”, he asked with a smile.
Her eyes widened, and then she surprised him with the most bright and genuine smile he had ever seen on her. She walked up and put the brooch on the front of his coat as Jeon Junghoon also smiled from behind her, “He will recognise this, his grandfather kept it like his most precious belonging and he had only given this to me a year before his passing. I think it was always meant for you”, she said quietly.
Jimin bit his lips and smiled, feeling like the alpha will also be happy to know that his favourite person was in a way with them today. Yoongi knocked on the door then, saying it was time for the ceremony and Jungkook’s parents left.
The moment his uncle entered the room, his nerves returned in full force.
“You look so beautiful, pup”, he smiled and offered his elbow, which Jimin took with trembling hands.
“Just think that it’s the alpha you love who is waiting for you over there, you have nothing to be nervous about”, he said softly and Jimin felt his heart settling. He was right, Jimin had nothing to be anxious about.
Jimin couldn’t even lift his eyes to see the beautiful decoration or the people around as he walked on the aisle made of glass with pink, purple and white flowers decorated on both sides. He took some deep breaths as they passed by the chairs for the audience, and heard quiet gasps and impressed murmurs. He only lifted his head as he felt his uncle squeeze his hand with his other one, and the first thing he noticed was the alpha standing before them at the end of the aisle.
He was standing still on the platform, beside the priest with Taehyung behind him. Jimin felt breathless as he saw the alpha who looked ethereal to him with his perfect outfit and beautiful features. But he felt choked up as his eyes met the alpha’s, who was looking at him as if he couldn’t even believe he was real, his eyes shining with moisture.
Jimin walked in a daze as his uncle stopped right in front of the alpha before placing his hand on the alpha’s.
“Take care of my pup”, his uncle whispered to him. Jungkook looked at him with a smile, nodding his head with grateful eyes, as if starting to talk will tip him off the edge and make him break down. He saw a beautiful smile spreading on Jungkook’s face the moment he looked back at Jimin, and he followed suit unknowingly.
They kept silent as the priest started the ceremony. Jimin missed most of it as he couldn’t tear his eyes away from the alpha, his heart was about to beat out of his chest because of the overwhelming emotions. So he was even more shocked when the priest asked them to say their vows. He felt relieved because the alpha was supposed to go first, and he just waited with bated breath as the alpha held both of his hands with his own and took a deep breath before locking their eyes.
“Jimin-ah, there are no words that can justify what I feel for you, I just wish I could show my heart to you so that you could understand the entirety of my emotions. You found me at my absolute worst and stuck beside me throughout it all. You showered me with love without any expectations and made me learn to live a little bit more each day. I remember wondering how I got fortunate enough to end up with you as my husband, as my mate. Then I realised that fate must have sent you to me as an apology for everything that went wrong in my life. You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I feel like the luckiest person alive to be able to call you mine forever. I promise that I’ll become the best version of myself. I still have a lot to learn, but I know that I can do anything as long as you are there with me. I can say this with certainty that I’ll try my best to keep you happy, and I’ll never make you regret choosing me, ever”, Jimin was taking deep breaths as he tried to control his unruly tears, seeing with blurry eyes that the alpha himself was also crying.
“How- how am I even supposed to top that”, he sniffled, making the alpha and some of the audience chuckle. Jimin just then realised that there were more people apart from the two of them there. He gave a quick glance just to see most of them in tears as well. Then he focused on the alpha once again before starting to talk.
“I know that you believe I saved you, but that’s not what I think. For all these years, the only thing I found happiness in was dancing, and even then I was just going with the flow, I didn’t know what I was trying to do with my life at all. I could never dare to imagine myself falling in love, let alone marrying someone I love. Since the moment I met you, you had become the cause of my happiness. Every little smile, every little step towards improvement was a small delight to me, something I relished. And before I even realised it, I was deeply in love with you. I don’t care what you or I lack, I’m just the happiest when I’m with you and I’ll always be there for you through good, bad and worst. You don’t have to be better for me because you already are the best, and I’ll cherish you and your love, forever”, Jimin concluded in tears.
He didn’t know if it was normal for a couple to be this emotional at their wedding, practically two crying wrecks, but he didn’t care. He didn’t even need the alpha to say anything because he could see how overwhelmed he was clearly. The priest waited patiently until they calmed down a bit before proceeding with the formalities.
“Do you, alpha Jeon Jungkook take omega Park Jimin, as your husband and omega, till the end of time?”, and Jimin saw as the alpha et out a shuddered breath before answering in a firm voice, “I do”.
“And do you, omega Park Jimin take alpha Jeon Jungkook as your husband and Alpha, till death does you part?”
And Jimin replied with a smile, “I do”.
“Then I announce Jeon Jungkook and Park Jimin as husbands and mates. You may now kiss-”, the priest stated and Jungkook leaned in before he could even finish completely, making Jimin’s face split into a smile as their lips touched.
Jimin could hear the loud clapping and hollering, the voices of Hoseok and Taehyung being the loudest. He chuckled as he leaned back a little, and the alpha whispered softly, his breath hitting the omega’s face, “I missed you so so much”.
Jimin smiled as he whispered back, “I missed you too alpha”.
He could see how Jungkook was eyeing the brooch as they finally turned around to bow to the guests. The priest left the stage and Jungkook turned him around with a questioning gaze. But before he could say anything, they were whirled away with greetings and best wishes. They had to walk around and chat with all the people before the food was served. Jimin could barely stomach anything since the night before because of his nerves, so he actually appreciated it when Seokjin dragged them over to sit and get some food into their systems.
After that, it was time for dance, and Jimin smiled as Namjoon was the first one to walk up to him and ask for a dance. He giggled as Namjoon ignored Jungkook’s glare completely and he followed him to the central stage that had been modified as a dance floor.
“Congratulations Minnie”, Namjoon whispered as they lightly moved to the music.
“Thank you hyung”, Jimin answered, his scent blooming with happiness.
He could see that Seokjin had dragged Jungkook in this time, making him dance with himself. Jimin’s eyes widened seeing Jungkook dance as if he was a natural at it, and Namjoon chuckled.
“Jin made him practice for the last three days, saying he can’t have Jungkook embarrass him by tripping over his feet or falling on his face while you have your wedding dance”, Jimin laughed at that, his heart filling with fondness.
“I have made all the arrangements as you asked. All you have to do is tell him now”, Jimin’s eyes widened at that, and then he nodded with a bright smile.
“Thank you hyung”, he whispered.
“Anytime, Min”, he replied with a dimpled grin.
They stopped as he heard Jungkook clearing his throat, but before he could say anything, Taehyung bounded over.
“I believe it’s my turn now”, he declared as he took Jimin’s hand this time, spinning him away from the gaping alpha as Jimin giggled.
“I feel like I’ve suddenly become too popular”, Jimin mused.
“Nonsense, you’ve always been popular”, Taehyung scoffed, making him laugh.
“Looks like your hyung is out to get back at you”, Jimin said with an amused voice, and Taehyung spun them to face Jungkook and spluttered, seeing him dance with Yoongi this time.
“You better switch dance partners soon”, he teased even more, seeing the alpha turn red.
“I will”, he smiled shyly, “but before that, I have something to tell you”.
Jimin just raised his brows, waiting for the alpha to elaborate, “Thank you Minnie. You’re not a blessing to only hyung, but to all of us. I have got my hyung back because of you, and I can never thank you enough for that. So I just want you to know that you will always have me by your side, and if there is any way that I can make up for even a little bit of what you’ve done for us, I will”, he whispered, and Jimin’s heart warmed.
“Well you actually can”, he said, and Taehyung looked at him with confusion and curiosity, “Take care of my hyung and keep making him happy please. I have never seen him like this before and it’s all because of you, so I’m grateful to you too Tae”.
The understanding dawned on his face and he smiled, “I love him Min, I know that I do”, he admitted, making Jimin gasp, “And I’ll pursue him to the end of the earth if needed, until he wholeheartedly believes that he is loved and cherished. I promise you that”, he finished, making Jimin let out a watery laugh as he threw his arms around the alpha to pull him in a hug.
“Okay, that’s my cue”, Jungkook’s voice filtered in as he was pulled away from the embrace and in a second, Yoongi was pushed into the alpha’s arms by Jungkook instead as he was being dragged away. Jimin giggled as the alpha placed his hands on his waist and pulled him even closer as they began dancing.
“You’re cruel, omega. Already running away from me after we’ve been married for barely an hour”, Jungkook commented dramatically, making him chortle.
“Oh that sounds horrible, I shouldn’t have done that”, Jimin played along.
“Exactly”, the alpha pouted and Jimin shook his head with a smile, “How did you manage to learn dance so well in just three days?”
“I’m a fast learner”, he grinned, his eyes once again flickering to the brooch.
“Your eomma gifted it to me, said it was precious to your grandpa”, Jimin explained by himself, seeing the alpha bite his lips.
“It was the first courting gift grandpa had given to my grandma. Something that she had thrown back at him the moment she saw it”, he said with a chuckle.
Jimin let out a peal of surprised laughter as Jungkook went on, “She had told him that she was not one to be impressed by his riches. And if he genuinely wanted to win her heart, then he needed to work for it. The next gift he gave her was a painting of her, he is the one who got me into it”.
Jimin smiled fondly, caressing his shoulder, “But then how come it was so precious to him?”
Jungkook laughed again at that, the corner of his eyes crinkling, “Grandpa didn’t dare to bring it out in front of her since that event, but after they got mated she had demanded to be given back ‘her hairpin’, and he told me how it was her favourite. She almost never went out without it on her hair”.
Jungkook stared at it before looking up at Jimin and his features lit up with a mischievous smile, “But I was actually supposed to gift it to you and you were supposed to throw it on my face. Grandpa told me that’s how I would know that he or she is the one”.
Jimin’s body shook with his laughter, “In my defense, I really would have thrown it on your face if you appeared out of nowhere and tried to woo me with this”.
Jungkook leaned down and nuzzled his cheek with a smile, “I know you would, you’re perfect”, he whispered before placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
Their little bubble broke when the twins ran up to them and demanded to be danced with too. Jungkook picked Jiyeon up, twirling her in his arms with grand gestures that made the pup giggle happily. Jimin laughed when Jisung pouted because he had to be picked up for the dance, but he also started enjoying when Jimin moved around the dance floor with the pup’s tiny hands on his shoulders.
They were almost ready to leave as the ceremony was over and people were filtering out, but Namjoon And Seokjin stopped them before they could make their way to the car. It was afternoon and was about to be evening soon.
“Oh no you’re not going home”, Seokjin declared, making them look at him in bewilderment.
“Your destination is waiting for you, get into that car. It’s a surprise gift from us”, Namjoon said with an arm around Seokjin.
Their questions remained unanswered as they made their way to the car, and Jimin’s confusion increased, even more, when Seokjin told him that he had their changes of clothes and other necessities packed up in the car already.
The two got in the car after bidding farewell to others, and apparently, they were the only ones not aware of this surprise. Jimin decided not to fret over it and relaxed against the alpha as their driver took them somewhere. He was feeling almost sleepy after the hectic day, having not slept the night before and the alpha also detected that.
“You can take a nap Mimi, I don’t think we’re reaching there soon, wherever it is”, he told him.
“He is right, you can sleep for a while Jimin-sshi”, it was the same driver who usually drove him around. And so he just nodded with a pout, complaining once again because the beta driver did not reveal anything to them and put his head on the alpha’s shoulder. His eyelids got heavier as the alpha started running his fingers through his hair and he fell asleep before he even knew it.
Jimin woke up when he could register being moved, and he opened his eyes groggily to see that he was in the arms of Jungkook, being taken somewhere.
“Oh, we are here?”, he opened his eyes. It was dark all around already, and Jimin’s eyes widened as he saw the house in front of him. It was a modern-style house with mostly glass covering the exterior. It was a quiet area with a lot of greenery around. And Jimin’s face brightened even more as they entered the house. It was decorated in a modern yet cozy way, most of the furniture being white and making the place look much brighter.
Jungkook ignored him when he asked to be let down, and walked up the stairs with him. Jimin gave up with a roll of his eyes and observed their surroundings instead. Jungkook blindly walked towards a room and made a happy noise realising he had found the master bedroom. It was also covered with mostly glasses that Jimin was sure must be tinted from the outside. Jungkook softly deposited him on the bed, “Sleep a bit more, I’ll bring our suitcase in”.
Jimin tried to fall asleep, the bed was very fluffy and seemed comfortable enough, but he felt wide awake. Suddenly, he recalled that it was their wedding night, this time for real, and he was in this place alone with the alpha. A sudden burst of nervousness and excitement consumed him and he sat up with a jolt.
“Oh? You’re awake?”, Jungkook asked as he brought the suitcase in. He had taken off his coat already, and his sleeves had been rolled up to his elbows. Jimin stared as the alpha stood straight after placing the suitcase in front of the bed.
“Y-yeah, I feel stuffy. Maybe I need a shower”, he hurriedly replied.
“Right, That can't be comfortable to sleep into. Go and freshen up then, I’ll go and lock the door after seeing the driver off”, he said with a smile and left downstairs.
Jimin suspiciously made his way to open the suitcase, feeling unsettled for some reason. And sure enough, he yelped the moment he opened it, feeling immensely glad that the alpha wasn’t the one to do it instead.
There was only one set of change for him, formal pants and a buttoned-up shirt that he could definitely not wear after his shower now. Other than that, the article that Seokjin had packed for him had him blushing bright red. Jimin cursed Seokjin to hell and back in his mind before grabbing it in a hurry as he heard the alpha making his way upstairs, dashing towards the washroom.
Jungkook had just decided to change, not feeling like he needed a shower. He wanted to get out of those frame-fitting clothes too, so he grabbed the sweatpants packed for himself and changed inside the room itself. He was rummaging for a t-shirt when he heard the door to the washroom open.
“Jimin-ah did you see a t-shirt here? I can’t find any, maybe Seokjin hyung forgot to-“, he choked on his words as his eyes found Jimin, a growl making its way out of his throat involuntarily.
Because right in front of him, fresh out of the shower was his barefaced omega, dressed in a sheer laced mid-thigh length lingerie that left little to nothing for imagination. It almost looked like a little dress that was dusty pink in colour, except it was hugging his curves deliciously and the thin straps on his shoulders looked too easy to just slip off and reveal everything at once.
“Uhh, Seokjin hyung packed this and-“, Jimin squirmed, hugging his middle self-consciously as if he thought it made him look unappealing.
“It seems like I owe him then”, Jungkook said as he stood up, and he saw Jimin’s head snap up to look at him.
“W-what?”, he stuttered out.
“Do you have any idea how ravishing you look right now?”, he asked in a throaty voice, his scent spiking in arousal.
Jimin bit his lips, shyly peering at the alpha as he fidgeted due to the change in the alpha’s scent, his own responding by flaring up.
“Come here, omega”, he called and Jimin followed instantly, walking up to the alpha who wrapped his arms around him instantly, “I want to scent you”, he whispered, and Jimin just nodded.
“You can do whatever you want with me alpha, I’m all yours”, he boldly replied but gasped the next second when the alpha crashed their lips together. Jimin tilted his head as the alpha deepened their kiss, his tongue entering the omega’s mouth. Jimin couldn’t help the moan that ripped out of him as the alpha sucked on his lower lip, his hands lowering to his hips to hold there. Jimin wrapped his arms behind the alpha’s neck as the kept kissing him again and again. He was feeling almost dizzy by the time he felt the alpha holding him by the back of his thighs and hoisting him up. The omega just wrapped his thighs around the alpha’s middle in surprise, and the alpha just started kissing his neck instead.
Jimin moaned again when he felt the alpha start to suck hickeys on the column of his neck, getting lower towards his collarbone. He released a sigh as they were taken towards the bed before the alpha placed him gently on it.
“I’m not going to stop this time, baby. Only I know how difficult it was for me to resist you those times, when you offered yourself to me so willingly, looking like temptation personified”, he whispered and Jimin mewled, his body writhing with need.
“I don’t want you to stop, I want to be yours alpha”, he murmured and took a sharp breath as the alpha’s eyes turned red for a moment.
“Mine”, there was just a growl before the alpha pressed his body over his own and latched on his scent gland.
Jimin tangled his fingers in the alpha’s hair as he grazed his fangs over his skin before going downwards. Jimin gasped as the alpha bit on his nipple from over the almost transparent fabric, which showed the slightly darker tone of his buds clearly, making him whine in both embarrassment and arousal.
Jimin felt his breath getting stuck in his throat as the alpha sucked on his nipple, wetting the fabric, as his hands trailed lower. Jimin was already wet with his arousal and trembling with need as the alpha kept torturing his rosy buds without even getting his lingerie out of the way.
“J-Jungkook!”, he whined needily and the alpha just hummed before dragging his face down.
Jimin was already flushed, but could still feel a new wave of shame as the alpha finally noticed what he was wearing under that lingerie.
Sure enough, the alpha sucked in a sharp breath before there was a loud groan.
Jimin whimpered as the alpha lifted his lingerie to expose his lower half before running his fingers over the smooth milky skin of his thighs. Jimin didn’t get any warning before the alpha connected his lips with the sensitive skin of his inner thigh, making the porcelain skin bloom with pink and purples as the omega twisted his body in need.
“Alpha please”, he whispered as the alpha finally looked up.
“You look so pretty, you always do but you looked like an angel today. And now, now you look like a sin, how is that even possible omega? Fuck, you look so delectable wearing this, he groaned before hooking his finger on the thin strap of his thong, the elastic snapping back into place the moment he let it go, making Jimin mewl.
“As pretty as it looks, I need it off of you”, Jungkook stated before dragging the article down his legs and throwing it over somewhere before spreading his legs apart.
Jimin whined as the alpha pushed his thighs up to expose his hole to his eyes, his body releasing slick right at that moment as if beckoning the alpha to have a taste.
Jimin heard a growl before he felt the lick on his entrance, making him gasp. Since then, it was almost a blur as the alpha started slurping and sucking before plunging his tongue inside. Jimin almost screamed as the alpha thrust his tongue in and out of him, trying to go as deep as possible. His hands flew to grab the alpha’s hair as he entered a finger alongside his tongue inside, making him lose his mind due to the overwhelming pleasure. He didn’t even realise when one finger became two and then three, only whining in protest as he felt the alpha trying to push another finger in.
“I’m sorry baby, but you’re gonna need this if we are to go any further than this”, he whispered while coming up, three fingers still inside the omega.
“No, I- I want it”, he moaned needily and the alpha just started kissing him as his fingers scissored inside him. Jimin could almost taste the sweet syrupy taste of cherries on the alpha’s tongue, which made him shudder. He jolted when he realised the alpha was easing the fourth finger in, but it didn’t seem as impossible this time with most of his attention on the alpha’s kisses.
“I think you’re ready, love”, he said with a grunt, and Jimin nodded shakily, his whole body thrumming with the need for release. A whine of protest left his throat the moment the alpha removed his fingers from inside himself, his entrance gaping with the need to be filled up.
Jungkook took off his trouser and boxer, settling himself in between the omegas legs.
“Are you sure Mimi?”, he asked once again, and Jimin cupped his cheek with an endeared smile, “I’ve been sure for a while, alpha”.
Jungkook positioned his already rock-hard member in front of his entrance, taking a deep breath and staring at him with a loving gaze, “Just trust me and relax then baby, I’ve got you”.
Jimin dropped his head on the pillow and nodded as the alpha slowly pushed in, and he felt the breath getting knocked right out of his lungs. The stretch burned as he had never taken something of that girth inside him before, but the accompanying pleasure was too overwhelming to focus on the pain. He gaped as the alpha grunted, moving in inch by inch while connecting their lips and stealing his breath.
Jimin held onto the alpha’s shoulder with all his might, sure that he was leaving nail marks and scratches behind but too far gone to care. His eyes burned as he felt the alpha push through the resistance and finally sheathing himself completely inside him, and he let out a cry right against his lips.
Jungkook jerked back in shock, “Shit, baby am I hurting you? Should I pull out? Oh shit I should, wait-“, Jimin just held on to him even harder, shaking his head as he tried to take some deep breaths.
“Mimi? Talk to me please”, Jungkook almost pleaded and Jimin opened his eyes, not even knowing when he closed them in the first place.
He smiled at the alpha, cupping his cheeks. The alpha looked so gorgeous, his skin glowing with a wet sheen and the starry eyes looking at him with concern, “I just- I just need a moment”.
“Of course Love”, he whispered before littering kisses over his skin, anywhere he could reach without moving inside him. Jimin took some deep breaths before locking eyes with the alpha, “You can move now”.
Jungkook nodded, kissing his forehead once before starting to move. Jimin moaned as the alpha thrust in and out of him, in slow but deep strokes. His body arched as the alpha slowly gained pace, and he couldn’t help the plethora of moans that left his lips with each drag of the alpha’s cock inside the deepest parts of him.
“You feel so good, so fucking perfect, oh my god”, the alpha groaned before thrusting faster, hitting a sensitive spot inside the omega once. He halted the moment Jimin almost let out a surprised scream, his scent becoming unbearably sweet and tantalising. To Jimin’s horror, the alpha angled his hips in a certain way, holding one of the omega’s thighs up with his arm before starting to almost pound into him, his head grazing the sensitive bundle in every stroke.
Jimin let out a cry and held onto the bedsheet as if his life depended on it. It was all too much, he had never experienced a pleasure that intense, and he didn’t know what to do with himself. The alpha kept chasing their releases as he connected his lips to the omega’s neck once more, sucking bruises on the once pristine skin.
“Alpha- I’m- I’m close”, Jimin whimpered, and the alpha nodded.
“Me too omega”, he grunted, his hips moving almost at a feral pace by now, and Jimin started thrashing.
“Mate me, bite me alpha”, he uttered with much difficulty, and the alpha stilled.
“Are you-“
“I am sure”, he snapped, feeling pained now that the pleasure had stopped so abruptly.
“As you wish, my omega”, he heard the alpha whisper in a deep voice before he resumed his thrusting at an even more animalistic pace, making Jimin’s mouth fall open in shock as he felt the gradual swelling of the alpha’s knot catching on his rim occasionally.
He was close to his orgasm already, and when he felt the alpha wrap his fingers around his cock with no warning at all, he lost control and a shuddering release washed over him. He felt the tears trail down his face as the alpha pounded into him through his orgasm, almost sending him into a state of oversensitivity before he plunged himself as deep inside as possible with a harsh thrust, the knot catching completely and locking them together.
Jimin’s eyes rolled back into his head as he felt the alpha lean down and clamp his fangs down on his scent gland, piercing the skin deeply as his release flooded the omega’s insides. Jimin could feel the warm liquid filling him up as the pain in his neck turned into pleasure, he could almost feel the alpha pulse inside him and the sensation made him cry even harder.
His whole body locked when he felt the bond forming between them as the alpha retracted his fangs and licked the skin lovingly to heal the bleeding wound, it felt as if a tangible thread was binding them together. He could feel an overwhelming fondness and love filling his heart, along with unbridled happiness. It took him a moment to realise that what he was feeling at the moment was not his own emotions, but the alpha’s. He looked at the alpha in shock who was already staring at him with his eyes full of so much love that Jimin burst into tears.
Jungkook just turned them over until the omega was on top of him, and wrapped his arms around him.
“Alpha- I-“, Jimin choked on his words.
“Shh, I know love. It’s okay, I can feel you too”, he placated the omega, rubbing his back soothingly as his own eyes flooded with tears of overwhelming emotions.
Jimin didn’t even realise when he had fallen asleep, but when he woke up, he felt the alpha caressing his bare back as he kept kissing his scent gland affectionately. Jimin smiled even before opening his eyes, purring in happiness and then he realised that the alpha had pulled out of him sometime. His omega was almost about to whimper at the realization but then he preened as he felt the arm tighten around his waist.
“Good morning baby”, Jimin’s eyes snapped open at that, seeing that indeed it was morning already.
“Oh! I’m- I’m sorry alpha I didn’t even realise-“
Jungkook stopped him by turning his face towards himself and then kissing the tip of his nose, “Mating is supposed to be overwhelming and exhausting, Mimi. I’m glad you got some rest”, he murmured.
Jimin smiled, leaning his head on the alpha’s shoulder again. He couldn’t even explain the feeling of contentment and pure bliss he was basking in at the moment.
“Mimi?”
“Yeah?”, he looked up at Jungkook again.
“Turns out you really can see my heart now, I love you omega, you know that right?”
Jimin reached up to caress his cheeks with a fond smile, “I know, and you know that I love you too”.
The alpha gifted him his adorable bunny smile, and then sat up with Jimin in his arms, making him yelp in surprise.
“Now my omega needs to shower and eat something, so let’s go”, he declared as the omega only held him tighter while giggling.
“I have something to tell you”, Jimin fidgeted nervously as they were almost done with their breakfast. Jimin had ended up wearing a spare oversized shirt of the alpha because Seokjin had very conveniently ‘forgotten’ to pack his clothes.
“What is it?”, Jungkook asked with wide eyes, sensing his nerves.
“Promise to hear me out first?”, he pleaded.
Jungkook furrowed his brows at that, “Of course I’ll hear you out, you can tell me anything Jimin”.
The omega took a deep breath at that, getting up from his chair to straddle the alpha instead, taking some deep breaths before finally looking at him.
“I have done something, for us. And I want you to know that if you really don’t want this then I’ll cancel it but I want you to think about it carefully before making your decision”, Jungkook kept quiet and just nodded, waiting for elaboration.
“I know you don’t want to stay in this pack, alpha”, he whispered and saw Jungkook’s eyes widening. Jimin put a finger on his lips as he was about to say something, shushing him.
“I shouldn’t have done that, but I saw that writing in your diary. And I have thought about it for a long time and also talked to Namjoon hyung so we don’t rush into this. But we know that this is a vital key to your complete recovery, removing yourself from that source, even if for a while until you heal”.
Jungkook just stared at him with watery eyes as Jimin went on, “Separating from you and letting you go is out of the question because I’d rather let everything else go instead, and I know you wouldn’t agree to it anyway”. Jungkook just nodded against his finger, keeping quiet otherwise.
“But I also know that you won’t agree to a sacrifice on my part, you’re stupidly kind but stubborn like that”, he chuckled, making the alpha’s lips curve up too.
“So I reached a solution, to leave together. Though, not because only you need it, but because we both do”.
Jungkook held his hand and removed it before whispering, “What do you mean?”
“I mean, you know I have always wanted to build my career in dance. And in a way I did, but it was not in the way I envisioned it. I rushed it too much, I established the studio on a whim because that was the right choice but not the right time. I was barely out of college with no actual experience, who am I to be an instructor? The only reason people flock to my studio is that I have become a Jeon”.
Jungkook opened his mouth to protest when Jimin cut him off again, “I know you believe I’m extremely talented, but in any case, I lack the experience. And now that I have a chance, I want to gain it. Let’s go to Paris alpha, I can go to the dance studios there while you’ll get to venture into art, maybe even learn it professionally if you want. We can take our time growing and healing until we feel ready to return”.
Jungkook’s eyes were glistening with tears when he finally started talking, “And then what? After we return, then? If I become the head alpha then you’ll have to become the head omega, Jimin. Would it be worth it if we have to end up in that role anyway? It’s not only about me, and I’ll never throw you into something you don't want”, he whispered.
“I’ll support you in whatever you choose, and the times have changed. It’s not how it used to be and we still can have a life outside the pack duties even if you become the head alpha. Though I’d be lying if I said the thought doesn’t scare me shitless, but we’ll have each other. And we’ll have your brothers and Seokjin hyung too. So take your time and do what you want, not what you should. That’s the only thing I ask from you alpha”, Jimin said in a soothing voice, and Jungkook nodded shakily, burying his face in the crook of his neck.
Jimin kept caressing his hair until he heard the alpha whisper, “Let’s go then Mimi, I want to”, and Jimin smiled brightly, the happiness spreading through the bond.
Their time up to leaving had been hectic at the very least, even with all the preparations Jimin had been making for all those days. His studio was going to be handled completely by Hoseok, who had a dream of owning a studio forever. They went to the Min house to share the news with his uncle and he just wished them the best with teary eyes. Jungkook’s parents had also come over one day after hearing the news to bid them farewell, and only got a nod from Jungkook in return, but they were still satisfied.
Taehyung and Yoongi were a crying mess, but they also understood the necessity of their decision. They were ready to leave in just a week, and surprisingly it didn’t feel as devastating as Jimin had thought. He was mostly excited, and he realised it had more to do with the happiness of the alpha who was elated to finally be out of the Jeon pack. Jimin even looked forward to their time abroad, as he knew nothing could go wrong as long as he had his mate by his side.
The first few weeks in this new country had been the worst. They struggled with anything and everything, had mental breakdowns and couldn’t even manage to do their grocery shopping without making a mess of it. But Jimin realised once again how mature the alpha was as he took the role of handling most things despite having much less experience than Jimin about everything. They had leased a small apartment with two bedrooms, a kitchen with dining space, a spacious living room and pretty balconies. It was nothing too lavish, but it was their home. Once they settled into the new environment, it was almost a breeze from there.
Jimin could easily get into a performing arts school for higher degrees if he wanted, but he had come here for practical experience and that’s what he was about to do. So he took a job as an assistant trainer in a studio instead, wanting to learn the ropes. It was a relief that dance was a universal language that needed little to no words, or else he could neither teach nor learn anything with his lack of knowledge in the foreign language.
Jungkook on the other hand, really dived deep into art, visiting exhibitions, joining seminars and even participating in open competitions at times. Unintentionally, he gained the attention of some local artists who showed much interest in helping him learn techniques better, believing he had great potential. Jimin also noticed sorely that the alpha was faster than him in learning French and communicating with locals with more ease.
They kept the weekends strictly reserved for themselves, visiting the places around, going on dates and trips or even just relaxing at home watching movies and snuggling together, though that kind of plan always ended up with their lovemaking thanks to the alpha with a never-ending attraction towards his omega. All in all, life was good for them and Jimin could only hope that it was going to only improve from there.
“Hyung! You won’t believe it, I think Jungkook is a genius or something. He told me how he hated reading books and the next day he started visiting those public libraries and kept devouring book after book. It’s like he’s dead set on surpassing my intelligence or something”, Jimin scoffed on the phone.
“That can’t be too hard”
Jimin gasped in mock offense, “Hyung! How could you”.
He smiled with a roll of his eyes hearing Seokjin laugh from the other side.
“What about your work?”, he asked then.
“It’s going well, there is this language barrier of course but thankfully I’m familiar with most of the terminologies so I can get by. Oh! Did I tell you we have met another Korean couple here? They are from another pack but I’m so glad we met them. The alpha, Eunwoo goes to an art school and he also gave Jungkook so much advice on how he can increase his expertise without having to go through getting formal degrees. He seemed so impressed by Jungkook’s art skills and didn’t even believe that he never trained professionally”
“That’s normal, even we wouldn’t believe it if we didn’t know better. But I’m so glad that he is making friends”, Seokjin said happily.
“Oh trust me, I am too”, Jimin replied with a bright smile.
“Jimin-ah, can you calm down a bit?”, Yoongi tried to placate him from the other side.
“No I can’t, can you imagine their audacity hyung? How dare they flirt with my alpha?”, Jimin fumed.
“Okay, but you said he looked highly uncomfortable when you found him, it’s not like he was enjoying the attention. Besides you are the one who refused to scent him even after he asked you to. So he appeared as an unmated alpha which is a fair game, to be honest”, Yoongi pointed out.
“Why do you always take his side?! I refused because I’m in pre-heat? How can I- oh!”, Jimin stopped abruptly, feeling like a fool now.
“Yeah, oh. Now I understand why you are acting so uncharacteristically aggressive. C’mon Minnie, your alpha is someone that anyone with eyes would appreciate and it never bothered you before, you even felt happy that he was getting the praises he deserved. Just think about it rationally and you’ll realise there’s nothing to be mad about”.
Jimin pouted, “You’re right, I just felt so upset. Ugh I even locked him out of our bedroom, I should go and apologise”.
“Oh my god yes you should, go right now, bye”, and Yoongi cut the call with that.
Jimin walked out of their bedroom with hesitant steps just to see Jungkook preparing their dinner. He squirmed uncomfortably, feeling guilty for lashing out now.
“Hello love, are you feeling a bit better now?”, the alpha asked without even turning around, startling him. Jimin walked up and hugged him from behind, nodding against his back.
“I’m glad”, the alpha whispered calmly.
“Why are you not mad at me? I was mean to you when it was not even your fault”, he mumbled.
Jungkook chuckled and turned around to pull him in a hug instead, “Because I realised that was your omega talking. And honestly, I can’t even imagine how I would’ve reacted if our roles were reversed, my alpha would’ve caused a huge ruckus that’s for sure”.
“Your alpha tried to break the neck of my dance partner last week”, Jimin reminded him with a tiny smile.
Jungkook groaned at that, “Listen, he was being too touchy”.
“He was following the routine”, Jimin smiled with his eyes turning into crescents as he leaned back.
Jungkook huffed, “Whatever, we are both possessive, petty and jealous. End of discussion. Now let’s go and eat something before your omega decides to make an appearance again, we have long days ahead of us and I need my strength, thank you”, the alpha said and Jimin could only blush in response as he realised the implication being about his upcoming heat.
“Alpha! Did you hear the news?”, Jimin jumped on him the moment he reached the outside of his studio to pick him up.
“Huh! What news?”, Jungkook asked in a confused voice, smiling already as he could detect the ecstatic mood of the omega.
“Tae has started courting Yoongi hyung!”, Jimin almost screamed out.
Jungkook’s eyes widened before he too let out a happy laugh, “Oh finally! It was high time, they have been going on those dates for about half a year already”.
“Yeah, I’m so happy for them!”, Jimin squealed.
“I know baby, I am too. They deserve each other and I’m so glad Yoongi feels ready to take that step now”, Jungkook said with a bright smile.
“Let’s go to celebrate! I don’t want to go home now”, Jimin chirped.
The alpha just laughed at that, “We are not even with them, but sure. You want me to call the boys?”
“Yeah! Ask them to come to the bar”
“You can't even drink”, Jungkook pointed out.
“Shut up! Neither can you!”, Jimin retorted.
“Correction, I can but I don’t like it. You on the other hand turn into the most adorable baby after only one shot, which I definitely am not opposed to seeing again”, Jungkook chuckled as the omega whined in protest, taking his phone out to inform Eunwoo and his mate, along with some other common Korean friends they had ended up making. All these people were settled here, while Jimin and Jungkook would have to depart at one point. But at least Jungkook knew that they had become his friends because they genuinely wanted to, not because he was the heir of some pack. That was enough for him, it was more than enough.
“Hyung, are you sure you’re not hiding something from us?,” Jungkook probed once again, Jimin cuddled in front of him as they talked to Seokjin on a video call.
“Uhh, not really? I mean, I’m not really hiding, I’m just not sure if I even need to or should tell you about this”, he explained.
“What is it?”, Jimin asked.
“It’s about Namjoon’s father”, he whispered, and Jimin felt Jungkook going still in alarm behind himself.
“It’s nothing alarming, he is just- there is a rumour that he has been behaving, weirdly, these days. The guards said that he keeps calling people over with any excuse or plea he can. That staying secluded for so long like this must be affecting his mental state”, he said carefully.
Jungkook gulped once before speaking, “How is Joon after hearing this?”
“Surprisingly fine. He believes his father had dug himself into it, which is not a lie. Eomma is becoming a little better these days too, with the pups constantly flocking to her since you two are not here anymore. She has become especially careful about Namjoon’s needs and wants, constantly trying to accommodate him. It is a nice change to see honestly”.
Jimin just smiled a little, nodding his head.
“I’m glad things are improving there”, Jungkook whispered then.
“Yeah, but what about you?”, Seokjin asked back.
“I am making progress too if that's what you meant to asl. I feel happy here and the more I look around myself, the more I realise that I’m not the only unfortunate one in this world, you know? At least I have the means to enjoy it all now, but there are so many people who spend all their lives without any happiness, even if they didn’t lose their years like me. It’s given me a new perspective and I feel luckier than anything else”, Jungkook said with a smile and Jimin felt his heart swelling with pride.
He could see a similar expression on Seokjin’s face too as he just nodded with teary eyes. He was healing, and that’s all that mattered at the moment.
“I think I’m about to fuck it up hyung”, Taehyung whined dramatically as Jungkook rolled his eyes.
“You surely will if you don’t calm down”, Jungkook snapped, earning a slap on his chest from Jimin.
“Don’t worry Tae, I’m sure hyung will love whatever you have prepared. You haven’t messed up majorly even once up until now”, Jimin comforted him.
“Majorly being the keyword”, Jungkook added, raising his hands in surrender when Jimin glared at him.
“Hyung, stop being mean!”, Taehyung whined again, on the verge of crying.
“Not my fault you chose such a wrong time to call. I’m literally in my pre-rut watching my omega coddle you, what do you expect?”, Jungkook said in an exasperated voice, barely holding back the growl his alpha so wanted to scare Taehyung off with.
“Okay okay, just calm down both of you. Tae, he is right, you need to keep your cool or you really might mess up. You have been courting him for almost a year already, this is not even that unexpected. Just go with it yeah? I’m sure hyung will be happy with whatever you prepare”, Jimin said calmly.
“I wish you guys were here, even that meanie hyung”, he mumbled, making Jimin laugh.
“I wish for the same, I cannot believe I’m gonna miss witnessing hyung crying after the proposal”, Jimin lamented.
“Well nobody saw your crying face except for me too”, Jungkook reminded him, making him roll his eyes.
“Uhh, there is actually something else”, Taehyung said before continuing, “You know how I went to ask for your uncle’s permission first? Well, I asked Hoseok hyung to keep Yoongi occupied somewhere outside which he did. But Seokjin hyung told about this to eomma and abeoji, and they requested to tag along. So yeah, they went over there with me for the proposal”.
“Oh”, Jungkook simply said from behind.
“Yeah, they keep trying to pamper me while I’m at home anyway, as if I’m a pup”, he said with a huff as if he found it annoying but his blushing cheeks said otherwise.
“They call us, or well, me regularly too”, Jimin shared, “Just to check up on us and make sure we don’t need anything. They are late but they are trying their best, you know that right?”, Jimin asked both of them. And both of the brothers avoided his eyes and just nodded curtly. Jimin just smiled adoringly, it was okay, they were getting there.
Jimin woke up with heat coiling in his gut and gasped as he registered the alpha sucking on his mating bite. His eyes snapped open, and he finally registered the thick scent of mint permeating the air. He tangled his fingers into the alpha’s hair sleepily and tried to pull him back to see how far gone he was. He looked up at the omega with red covering the entirety of his irises, and Jimin just smiled calmly.
“Hello alpha”, he whispered and saw the alpha smirk back at him.
“Long time no see omega”, he whispered in a deep voice.
Jimin giggled in response, “Oh really? Because I think I see you quite often”, he teased.
The alpha just groaned and pressed their lips together, kissing him with wild abandon before speaking again, “You know what I mean, stupid Jungkook keeps bossing me around. I liked it better when he was Koo”.
Jimin laughed against his lips at that, “Don’t be mean, you are the same and you’re supposed to happily coexist”.
“Oh we are happy yes, it’s just better when I’m on my rut, this way I can have you all to myself”, he murmured and started placing small licks and bites on the omega’s neck.
Jimin knew very well what the alpha meant. When he spent Jungkook’s rut with him for the first time, he was completely overwhelmed even after repeated warnings from Jungkook himself. His alpha was insatiable and almost on a mission to devour the omega whole. The worst or best part, depending on how he saw it, was that the alpha seemed to draw his pleasure from making Jimin feel pleasured.
And Jimin had lost count of how many times he had climaxed in those five days. He didn’t even have the semblance of mind to arrange food or water for them after the third day. His whole body was aching in a very pleasant way, but his mind was a numbing mess. It was a relief that Jungkook got his clarity back after each wave of his rut subsided, and he took care of them before his alpha took control once again, completely ready to take the omega again and again.
Jimin would be amused by how Jungkook spent most of the breaks cursing his wild animal of an alpha while coddling Jimin until he turned into that same animal a while later, if only he wasn't too sore and groggy to find the humour in that.
“Jungkook will be mad at you again”, Jimin teased and whined the next moment as the alpha almost tore his shirt open, too impatient to undo the buttons of his nightshirt one by one.
“Who cares when I get to have you in exchange”, he rasped before connecting his lips with his already erected nipples. Jimin’s back arched as he pushed the nub in the alpha’s mouth, the harsh sucking feeling heavenly for some reason. He felt like his body was burning, and he moaned as the alpha bit down on the nub teasingly. He whined when the alpha’s mouth left the bud, only to gasp as it trailed to the other one, to pour the same treatment on it as well.
Jimin spread his legs without any invitation, wrapping his thighs around the alpha’s middle as he kept flicking and sucking on the sensitive nipples.
“Alpha- more”, he groaned, his hand reaching to hold the alpha’s hair.
The alpha wordlessly travelled lower, stopping and leaving hickeys in its wake. Jimin lost himself as the alpha pleasured him with his mouth, then his fingers, and then finally with his length. By the time the alpha was locked deep inside him, Jimin was panting heavily with his body still shaking from the release. He tried to regulate his breathing as his clouded mind cleared a little, making way for a realisation.
“Mimi? You okay?”, Jungkook called out after a while, and Jimin nodded with a tired smile.
But then his face got serious, “Jungkook, something is not right”.
“Wha- are you feeling unwell? What’s wrong? I-“
“Shh, listen to me”, Jimin interrupted his nervous rambling, “I think our cycles are matching up alpha”.
“Huh? You mean- Oh!”, Jungkook stared at him with wide eyes, making Jimin chuckle.
“Yeah, I thought I was only responding to your need and arousal, but I’m pretty sure that's not it. It’s my heat, alpha. I’m on pre-heat and I think it will hit completely before your rut ends”.
It was a natural process between mates for their reproduction cycles to match up, but due to the alpha’s unusual rut cycle, they didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Jimin also understood what it meant all of a sudden, and his eyes widened. He looked up at the alpha but gasped seeing him struggling to stay afloat already, a growl ripping deep out of his throat.
“Jungkook, hey. I need you, stay here please”, Jimin said urgently.
Jungkook took some deep breaths before nodding, “Yeah, I’m here, I’m sorry. I just feel overwhelmed baby, if the cycles have overlapped then it means- it means-“
“I know”, Jimin whispered, pressing a kiss on his lips.
“What do you want?”, Jungkook asked suddenly.
“Huh?”, Jimin’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I need to know what you want before either of us gets lost to our instincts, love. This is a huge decision and I want you to think about it and tell me what you want truthfully. I can pull out and lock myself in the next room until my rut finishes if you want-“
“NO! I want this- I’m ready, it’s not even like it’s guaranteed but if you’re okay with it-“
“Okay with it? Jimin-ah, what are you even talking about? I am ready for everything life has to offer, and having pups with you would be the best thing to ever happen to me. You can feel how happy I already feel at the thought, right?”, Jungkook laughed, nuzzling their noses together.
And Jimin could, he could clearly detect the almost overwhelming amount of hope and happiness swirling through their bond, making him tear up as he nodded shakily.
The next time his alpha showed up, he was even more voracious and yet careful. Jimin felt as if the alpha had almost plucked him apart before arranging him together once again.
It was the third day of the alpha’s rut, and even before Jimin woke up, he could realise that his heat had appeared in full force. He whimpered as he could feel the alpha littering kisses on his back.
“Good evening”, the heady voice whispered.
“Alpha- I- I need you”, he pleaded.
He could only gasp when the alpha entered him without any warning, his heat clamping up on him instantly. After three days, he definitely didn’t need any prepping, but that didn’t make the sudden penetration feel any less overwhelming.
“Anytime, omega”, the alpha gritted through his teeth as he started moving inside him, making Jimin writhe and whine as the intensity slowly increased with the alpha’s force of thrusts.
“I can already imagine you full of my pup, you’ll look so beautiful omega. The prettiest”, he whispered into the omega’s ears from behind as his knot pulled on the omega’s rim again and again, and Jimin came with a cry, his tightening heat causing the alpha to let go as well, releasing inside the omega once again.
Jimin could only go lax, his limbs feeling like jelly, but he couldn’t help but smile when he felt the alpha wrapping his arm around his waist protectively and nuzzling into his neck, the blissful feeling consuming him whole.
It was no surprise when Yoongi said yes to the proposal, but Jimin burst into tears for his hyung when he heard the news anyway, right after both of them had been finally done with their heat and rut. Jungkook had to calm him down by scenting him and whispering sweet nothings for almost half an hour. Jimin was still sniffing while Jungkook patiently held him, and then he leaned back, now feeling embarrassed for his emotional breakdown.
“Do you feel better now Mimi?”, he asked calmly, and Jimin nodded with a pout, letting the alpha wipe his tears lovingly.
“Alpha, you know- it means that we have to-“
“We have to go back”, Jungkook finished for him, and Jimin bit his lips. The ceremony was in only three weeks and of course, they needed to be back much before that.
“Yeah, but do you feel ready for that?”
Jungkook just gave him a bright smile in return, “Yes”, it was a clear answer, one confident enough to make Jimin feel at ease, but he still had to be sure.
“And we are returning forever? Or are we-“
“Will you be okay with returning forever? You were also pursuing something here after all”, Jungkook asked back and Jimin could just give a fond smile.
“Yes, I told you I’ll always support you. I have reaped the most out of our time here, and I’m ready to go back if you are. And I’m also ready to be the pack omega if you feel ready to be the pack alpha, and if you don’t want to then we will never have to. It’s all on you”, Jimin explained sweetly.
Jungkook sighed happily, “Did I ever tell you that I love you?”
Jimin giggled, “You might have mentioned it only half a thousand times”.
“What a shame, I have to up my game it seems”, he muttered seriously, making Jimin laugh even harder.
“Let’s not tell them we are returning forever already, it will be a nice surprise, won’t it?”, the alpha wiggled his brows mischievously.
Jimin shook his head with a smile, “Yeah, it will be the best surprise”.
When they got on the plane to return, Jimin could feel nothing but happiness. Not only from his own emotions, but from the alpha’s too. That was telling enough of how much the alpha had also changed in almost two years that they had spent abroad. There was no nervousness, no foreboding sense of doom or anything in their bond that could alarm Jimin.
They expected a warm welcome already, but still felt overwhelmed by the way none of the Jeons could control their emotions after meeting the couple after such a long time. Taehyung cried like a pup in Jungkook’s arms and Jimin could realise only then how difficult it must have been for him to let his brother go after just getting him back.
“How did Yoongi agree to marry this pup?”, Jungkook wondered loudly even though he himself was crying as well. The others just laughed and Taehyung didn’t even care that he was being teased, too happy to have them back.
“If they had realised earlier that this is what would bring you back, I’m sure Taehyung and Yoongi would’ve agreed to get married at least a year ago”, Seokjin laughed as he embraced Jimin.
They returned to the Jeon mansion and found the pups waiting for them at the entrance.
“Oh my god, who is this beautiful young lady? I don’t think I’ve seen her ever before”, Jimin gasped and Jiyeon just giggled in delight as she ran up to hug them.
Jisung on the other hand, was back to his shy self after meeting them in so long, squirming in a corner. Jungkook just chuckled and walked towards him before unceremoniously picking him up, making him squeal and wiggle on his hold before he got over his surprise and settled.
“Whoa, this champ is all grown up, he is so heavy now”, the alpha grunted.
Jisung just hugged him tightly and nuzzled into his neck, purring happily.
“I missed you pup”, Jungkook whispered and Jisung smiled, leaning back.
“I missed you too, and Minnie. You’re not leaving again, are you?”, he asked with wide eyes.
“Can you keep a top secret?”, Jungkook whispered with a serious expression, and the boy just nodded with his eyes widening even more.
“We’re staying, but it’s a surprise so don’t tell anybody yet, okay?”
His face lit up with a wide smile and he locked their pinky fingers together, ecstatic at the prospect of being able to share a secret with Jungkook, “I won’t, I promise!”
Jimin never even imagined that he would get to have such a beautiful future where he would have so many people to cherish. He definitely didn’t think that he would be able to stay in the same home with his Yoongi hyung forever. The omega was glowing with happiness when Jimin met him, and he realised how big of an impact proper acknowledgement and genuine love can have on a person.
His aunt tried to apologise to him again, this time sincerely, but Jimin knew it was only because she finally believed that Jimin had always wanted only the best for his hyung. She thought Jimin was the reason that Yoongi could get an alpha like Taehyung, and while it was not a lie that they met through him, Yoongi was getting mated to Taehyung because he deserved him and they loved each other, nothing else.
He felt his happiest when he welcomed his hyung into the Jeon family after their wedding ceremony, vividly recalling his own welcoming through the same doors. Things had changed so much, for the better. There was no air of awkwardness or formality among them anymore. Jungkook’s parents were determined to drown them in love and affection, no matter how many times Jungkook denied them. And Jimin could see the ice in his heart gradually melt away as the alpha started acknowledging them a bit more with each passing day. He could never forget when the alpha gave a tiny smile in their direction and Jimin saw both of his parents choking up instantly.
They had finally started renovating their side of the mansion a week after their return, now that it really felt like their home.
Jimin had started working on his studio once again, and Hoseok was elated to have him back, stating how difficult it was to handle things alone.
Namjoon couldn’t stop complaining each day about how Jungkook was making his life difficult by being so stubborn and breaking pack traditions left and right, even after assuming the role of the official head alpha a month after their return. The alpha also whined about how Jungkook made him do all the work on his behalf like his slave while he himself did nothing, to which Jungkook only laughed and said he wanted him as his main advisor and right hand for this exact reason.
Beneath all those petty fights, they all could clearly see how happy both alphas were to work together, their teamwork and understanding making them operate smoothly like a well-oiled machine. Namjoon was well-versed in the pack politics and diplomatic matters, while Taehyung had already gotten a good grip on the business aspect. The fact that a purebred alpha was the head of Jeon pack was enough for the other packs to see them with even more respect, but Jungkook was nothing if not determined. And once he had taken the title, he was completely committed to fulfilling his duties to the best of his abilities.
Jimin on the other hand was getting hands-on training from not only Seokjin but also Hwayong, who now seemed to be a completely different person. It took him a while to realise that the omega was not someone who didn’t have emotions, she was just often misunderstood because she couldn’t show them properly. But she took the lesson too hard and now never hesitated to make them feel cherished, something Jimin could never get enough of. He could never even imagine that he would find a mother in her of all the people, but fate had its own ways to make things work and Jimin was more than happy with how it all worked out for him.
Yoongi never stopped pestering Jungkook about getting into the world of art even if under a pseudonym. The omega was convincing in his words that he would be the one to handle all the other aspects, the alpha only needed to keep his passion alive and produce some masterpieces to share with the world. And with his unrelenting persistence, it was only a matter of time before Jungkook gave in and started doing what he loved the most.
If someone told Jimin a few years ago that this is how his life was going to turn out, he would’ve laughed at their face. But it was his reality now, and sometimes he felt scared that one day he would wake up and realise that it was all nothing but a beautiful dream.
The alpha’s arm tightened around him, shaking him out of his thoughts as he turned around, finding him still asleep. He started tracing the alpha’s features with his fingertips, making him scrunch his nose as it tickled.
“Mimi, let’s sleep for a bit more”, he murmured sleepily and grabbed the omega’s offending fingers, pulling the hand closer to place a light kiss on its back.
“But we need to get up”, Jimin said with a smile.
“Why! It’s the weekend”, he whined and burrowed his face into the omega’s neck instead.
“Because we’re gonna be late otherwise”
Jungkook leaned back at that, his brows furrowing as he tried to remember if they had anything on their schedule for the day. He squinted his eyes when he failed to recall anything and made a confused noise instead, “Late for what?”
“For the doctor’s appointment”, Jimin said casually.
The alpha’s eyes snapped open at once, looking alarmed. He sat up straight and started scanning Jimin carefully, “What? I don’t- for what? You’re feeling sick? You didn’t even tell me-“
Jimin burst out in laughter at that, also sitting up and turning his body to face the alpha, “I didn’t tell you because I had only booked the appointment last evening, and you seemed too tired last night so I just let you rest”.
Jungkook looked completely bewildered before he started speaking again, “How is me being tired more important than you feeling unwell? Jimin-ah I don’t understand-“
Jimin just rolled his eyes, “Look into the bond alpha, I am perfectly fine and happy. I do however need to visit the doctor and I need you to come with me”.
The alpha silently observed him at that, and then he took a sharp whiff of his scent before his eyes widened comically, “Do you mean- are you- are we-“, he started tripping over his words once again and Jimin laughed in delight.
“That’s what I think alpha, I took a test at home last evening and according to it, we’re going to have a pup. But I think we should wait to be sure by visiting the-“
He was cut off as the alpha’s lips met his in a kiss. The alpha cupped his cheeks and kissed him lovingly several times, and Jimin could feel him trembling.
“Alpha-“
“Thank you, oh my god thank you so much Jimin-ah. I love you so much and I’m going to love our pup just a little less than you”, he declared with a choked-up voice, making Jimin laugh with teary eyes.
“You silly alpha, I love you too”, Jimin replied while smiling as the alpha pulled him into his embrace. And the omega just closed his eyes in satisfaction, feeling loved and cherished in the arms of the alpha who had now become his home, someone to call only his, forever.
