JUNGKOOK POV

Jungkook had know it wasn't going to be easy.

They had Jimin home and Jiwoo's pack was no longer a threat but their relationship was on tenterhooks.

Neither of them knew quite where they stood and their first day back at home was a chorus of awkward moments.

He woke the second night of Jimin's return to find the bed empty next to him.

"Jimin?"

There was no response but Jungkook could hear some one moving around in the kitchen.

With a groan, he yawned and got out of bed.

He checked on Jungmin as he passed, happy to find him fast asleep.

He padded on toward the kitchen and paused in the doorway, watching the top of Jimin's head as the omega scrubbed the kitchen floor.

"Jimin? What are you doing?"

The omega glanced up at him with wide eyes but didn't stop scrubbing.

"Come back to bed."jungkook coaxed.

"I have to finish this."

"It's the middle of the night."

"You don't have to finish anything."

Jimin gave the slightest shake of his head and went back to scrubbing at the floors.

Jungkook crouched down next to him.

"Baby the floors can wait."

"You need to rest."

"But it's not clean."

"It doesn't matter. I'll wash the floors tomorrow. Right now, we should be sleeping."

"No, I need to—" Jimin cut himself off, peering up anxiously at Jungkook again.

"I'm sorry."

Jungkook sighed. "Don't be The last few days have been a nightmare But you're home now and everything's going to be okay."

Jimin started scrubbing again,
but Jungkook didn't think trying to talk him out of it was doing any good.

Whatever Jimin was worried about, whatever fear was plaguing him, it was about emotion, not reason.

Action was what was needed, not conversation.

"Come on," he said simply, lifting the omega to his feet.

Exhausted, fearful eyes peered up at him, Jimin shaking in his arms.

"Let's go back to bed."

Jimin took a half-step back but Jungkook stopped him, tugging the omega into an embrace.

"Shh. I'm right here and everything's okay."

"Jungmin is fast asleep, the house is quiet, the pack is home."

"You're here, our babies are safe and it's time to get some rest."

The tension in Jimin's small frame slowly eased.

Jungkook picked him up and carried him to their room.

He settled Jimin back into bed and climbed in beside him.

Jimin murmured fretfully, clinging to him with a shiver.

He was exhausted, jungkook knew.

More asleep than awake.

"Rest baby, Things will look clearer in the morning, I promise."

He wrapped his arms tightly around Jimin until he stopped shaking,his breathing evening out as he fell back asleep.
