One Step Closer - PART 1

One Step Closer - 42💕

Jungkook had nothing to offer him, except for the omega himself. There was no catch. This relationship would be more beneficial to Jungkook than Jimin. But why was he hung up on this omega? He didn't even know anything else other than what others told him. Yet, the week without the omega was hell.

The way he craved for this omega's attention was scary. He tried to stay calm, putting on a strong front. However, he should be at least honest with himself. Letting go of this omega was not a possibility. At least for now.

Am I imprinted on him?

If so, then how? There was no clear cut explanation to how imprint happened but in most known cases; the wolves had known each other for so long before creating that type of bond that lasted forever. A wolf that imprinted on another can never look at another. They stayed loyal even if the other rejected them.

"So should I assume that you're doing this just because your dad told you to," Jungkook asked and Jimin heard the hope in his voice.

"I gave this a chance because of him but I'm pursuing this purely because I want to," Jimin admitted. Talking has never been easy with anyone else not even with his friends sometimes. But Jungkook made it feel easy. Words just poured out even without him intending to do so.

"Good," he said. "Because I'd hate for you to be forced into something like this."

Jimin smiled. "I trust my dad's gut feeling. If he thinks you're a good match to me then there must be a reason. He knows me the best after all. But then I'm also intrigued. You intrigue me, Jeon Jungkook. And I'm determined to see why you have such a hold on me when everyone else before you failed."

The omega's scent bloomed and Jimin buried his nose into his neck, smelling his addictive scent directly from its source.

"What are you doing to me, Omega?"

"I-I don't know." Jungkook's voice was husky.

Jimin nuzzled into his neck and continued to press kisses all over the skin. "I have work early tomorrow," he murmured. "But I want to meet you after."

"Okay," Jungkook whispered.

"I'll pick you up from the restaurant after your shift then?" Jimin pulled back to gaze at his face.

"Um...I don't work there anymore."

Jimin frowned. "You don't?"

Jungkook shrugged. "Mr. Sun fired me because I didn't show up at work."

"You were in heat."

The omega's smile was sad. "It doesn't matter." He glanced down at his lap and began to fidget with the hem of his t-shirt. "We have to deal with it all the time."

"A firm is legally bound to grant heat/rut leaves to all their employees with no pay cut," Jimin stated.

"It doesn't apply to us," Jungkook said softly. "Even if it did, no one follows it. That's why I'm on suppressors."

Jimin's frown deepened. He was aware how powerful purebred alpha pheromones can be but the way it overrode the suppressors only deepened his worry. This was one of the reasons he wanted to see if they were compatible. What if he unintentionally hurt Jungkook? If Jungkook didn't get used to his scent it wouldn't do any good. It could be overwhelming and who knows what would happen?

Just then he felt the car coming to a halt. "We're here," he said. "I'll walk you to the door."

Jungkook immediately straightened, but his face remained a deep shade of red, scent flustered and sweet. They exited the car and the walk to the elevator was silent. The last time they were here was the first time Jimin smelled his scent.
