JUNGKOOK POV

He thought it would be tough adjusting to having not one but two invaders in his space.

He'd gotten used to Jungmin far easier than he'd expected, but he knew a cub was different to a grown adult, and an omega at that. Only... not so much.

After a day or two, he'd expected his instincts to be screaming at him to get some distance, to carve out some space for himself.

But, other than a keen awareness that he was sharing his home with a third person, it was like Jimins presence was set to neutral.

It probably helped that the omega slept a whole lot.

Between his injuries and however long he'd traveled to track down Jungmin, Jimin spent far more time asleep than awake those first few days.

Now and then, Jungkook would hear soft footsteps padding into the bathroom, but Jimin never ventured anywhere else in the house.

Jungkook brought him drinks and food, a little concerned when Jimin rarely did more than pick at his plate.

It couldn't even be blamed on Jungkook's terrible cooking since the packhouse was supplying meals for all three of them.

After every meal, if Jungmin was awake, Jungkook would bring him into the guest room to spend time with his dad.

Jimin always perked up at that, smiling and sitting up, getting some color in his cheeks.

When Jungkook had the bright idea to bring Jungmin in with the food, Jimin's appetite shot up.

The biggest trouble Jungkook had then was stopping Jimin feeding the cub half his plate.

The only solution to that was to bring Jungmin a snack too, but at least it meant they were settling into more regular meal times.

"He really likes apple slices," he said to Jimin one afternoon, watching Jungmin demolish a small bowl of them.

"He definitely has a sweet tooth," Jimin admitted. "The longer we can encourage a love of fruit and not chocolate, the better."

Jungkook felt immediately guilty. "Might be too late for that," he admitted sheepishly. "We've been having a square of chocolate or some cocoa after supper."

He was surprised to hear Jimin giggle though the omega went silent when Jungkook's eyes snapped to him.

"As long as he's eating his fruit and vegetables, I'm happy," the omega said softly.

"I can't thank you enough..."

Jungkook held up a hand. "Yes, you most definitely can,and have In fact, I think we're straying into over-thanking territory as it is."

"Oh." Jimin mulled that over.

"Sorry?"

Jungkook waved that off. "Your quota for apologies has also been reached."

Jimin seemed like he wanted to giggle again but forced himself to look serious.

Jungkook was almost sorry he liked hearing the omega laugh.

" Joon says you should be up and about more. Walking around the house, gentle stretches. No use letting everything stiffen up."

Jimin reacted like Jungkook had yelled a list of instructions, throwing back the covers and swinging his legs out of bed.

"Whoa," Jungkook said, stepping toward the bed and holding his hands up.

Jimin froze, fear flashing through his eyes, his feet halfway to the floor.
