JIMIN POV

Jimin found himself back at the packhouse sooner than expected, invited over by Jin.

This time it was just the omegas and the cubs.

Jungmin was happy to play with jih once more, running over to join his new friend.

Jimin followed him over, waiting until he was sure the cub was settled before returning to sit with Jin and tae.

It was only then that he realized something strange about tae.

He'd been so anxious the previous day that he must have missed it.

"What?" Tae asked, catching him staring.

"Nothing, sorry. Just... you look really familiar."

Tae grinned."We met yesterday, remember?"

"No, I mean, I feel like I've seen you before."

Tae's grin grew wider, and jimin felt a sudden spike of anxiety.

What if the connection was through his pack?

But that worry faded almost instantly at Tae's explanation.

"I did a bit of acting before I joined the pack."

"That's probably why I look familiar."

Jimin turned his head to the side, his eyes growing wide as he figured it out.

"Wait, you're Kim Taehyung?"

"One and the same. Though I go by Taehyung or tae these days."

"And you left acting to join the pack?"

Jimin wondered if Tae's decision to join the pack had been any thing like his someone else's choice forced upon him.

"Acting was never really some thing I enjoyed."

"I came here and met hobi and..."

"It was love at first sight?"

"More like mutual dislike."

"The love came later."

Despite tae's grin, Jimin had the sense he wasn't really joking.

"So you don't miss it?"

"Being a movie star?"

"Not even a little," tae admitted.

"But I still get a lot of attention through my work for the pack."

"Oh? What do you do?"

Jungkook had explained Jin's job, which seemed like an important one, but he'd assumed he was an exception.

He had no idea omegas could have roles in the pack beyond being a mate and a parent.

"I'm trying to raise our profile and bring attention to pack rights. It has its ups and downs."

"I don't understand."

"Why would you do that?"

Taehyung looked torn between bemusement and irritation at the question. Jin chimed in, answering before he could.

"Well, packs don't exactly get a fair hearing in the media."

"And it's spurring laws that would unfairly restrict us."

"We need to change hearts and minds in order to stop that, which means people need to see the reality of packs like ours."

Jimin thought if people saw the reality of Jiwoo's pack, they'd want to lock them up and throw away the key.
