JUNGKOOK POV

Jungkook wasn't sure he believed Jimin's story of how he and his son had been separated.

There was truth to it, but he did not think it was the truth. Still, there was no doubt Jungmin was happy to have his father there.

And the look on Jimin's face when he'd first seen his little boy Jungkook had felt that, right down to his bones.

He'd seen relief like that on other people's faces, long ago and far away.

For the first week after Jimin's arrival, Jungkook stuck close to home.

He had the feeling that the omega might take Jungmin and run. But after a few days passed, the tension in Jimin seemed to ease a little.

He no longer had that strained, hunted look in his eyes. And he stopped jumping every time a door opened.

He still flinched whenever he moved too fast and backed away when he got too close.

Jungkook kept his distance from the omega, but there was no way to keep that same space between him and Jungmin.

The cub didn't have the same fears his father had and wanted to spend as much time with Jungkook as he did with his dad.

The cub was sitting on his lap in the workshop a week after jimin arrival when the omega took a few cautious steps inside the room.

He still slept a lot but never failed to come looking for Jungmin the moment he woke.

Almost as if he feared the cub wouldn't be there.

"Daddy, look!"

Jungmin showed Jimin the little wooden spinning top that jungkook had carved for him.

"Wow," Jimin said. "That's a very special toy. Can you show me?"

A giggling Jungmin tried to set the toy spinning. It rolled off the edge of the table and across the floor.

Laughing, the cub squirmed off Jungkook's lap and ran after it.

Jimin watched him with a small smile before turning his attention to Jungkook. "He likes you."

"That surprises you?"

The omega shrugged. "He's never really taken to an alpha before."

Jungkook could easily believe it.

"I've got a shift at the firehouse today. It's only eight hours, so I'll be home before nine. Do you think you two will be okay?"

"I can ask someone from the house to come sit with you."

He didn't know why he said house and not pack. It wasn't that he was hiding it, just that Jimin was already spooked.

Learning Jungkook was part of a pack wasn't going to make him any less anxious.

"We'll be okay," Jimin promised.

"There's food in the kitchen, help yourself."

"Stuff to make sandwiches or that you can heat up. I'll leave a phone on the counter."

"My number's in it, and so is the number for Joon up at the house. Any problems, you call me or him, okay?"

Jimin nodded readily. "Okay. Do you want me to make you a sandwich to take with you?"

Jungkook was surprised at the offer. "You're supposed to be resting and recovering, not cooking."

He checked his watch. It was almost time to go.
