JIMIN POV

After a few days of short visits to the pack house with Jungmin, he found himself invited to spend the morning with Jin, Tae, and all their cubs.

The older kids were in the play room next door with Kira and Alice and Jungmin ran in eagerly to join him.

For the first while, Jimin hovered anxiously near the door, keeping an eye on him.

"You'll make him nervous, hanging around the door like that," Tae said.

"If he sees you're happy and relaxed, he'll be happy and relaxed."

With one last glance at his cub, Jimin went to sit down with the others.

"You're right."

"I just can't help it."

"It's not easy to let them out of your sight in a new place," Jin said kindly.

"Some days, I don't even want to leave the pack with them. If I could keep them here forever, wrapped in cotton wool..."

"What a boring life they'd lead," Tae joked. "You can't do anything fun swaddled in cotton wool."

"And it's so hot all the time."

Jimin laughed, tickling one of the cubs who was crawling over his lap, intent on stalking his sibling.

"I can't believe you have so many kids between you."

"How do you keep track of them all?"

"One is hard enough."

"It's not so bad," Jin said.

"They mostly stick together."

"And there's so many people around to help,there's always someone watching."

"Almost always."

"It's a little different for me and hobi, out at the stables."tae said.

"But we've only got the three, so that makes it easier."

"And they do stay together, most of the time."

It was strange to hear how the two omegas spoke to each other.

In Jiwoo's pack, they'd been constantly snapping at each other, doing their best to show the others up or get attention from the alphas.

Jimin, on the other hand, had done his best not to be noticed.

But that had just made him their target. When they wanted to feel better about themselves, it was easy to pick on him.

"It must have been scary, being separated from Jungmin,"Jin said quietly.

Jimin ducked his gaze, shame washing over him.

"You must think I'm a terrible father."

"No," Tae said immediately.

Jin's reply was slower, but his words were kind.

"Jungkook explained your difficult situation to us."

"I believe you didn't mean for him to be left alone like that."

"No, never. But there was so little time, and I couldn't let them—"

He forced himself to be quiet.

"You couldn't let them take him away?"

"He's my cub. He belongs with me."

"You're right, cubs need their fathers And omegas especially need their omega fathers."

"They need an alpha too, don't they?"
