One Step Closer - PART 1

One Step Closer - 56💕

Jungkook could feel the alpha's sincerity through his words and actions. By now, he was sure even if their relationship didn't work out, it'd be an amicable decision. His omega was elated that the alpha appreciated their hardworking nature and never looked down on them or commented on their preference to work multiple jobs that were beneath the alpha's level.

The attorney requested a suitable time to meet but due to Jungkook and Kwan's tight academic and work schedule, they could only talk over a phone call. This morning, Mr. Park's driver arrived at his dorm to transport them to the court.

He has never been here before. Hell, he has never been to a police station in his life. Mr. Park had a policeman come over to take their statements and didn't allow them to go there. Then one day his driver came over to accompany them to the prosecutor's office discreetly. That was all.

Jungkook felt his insides twist with nervousness as they neared the court building that loomed tall and intimidating. Oh, how much he wished his dad was here. He would have held his hand and told him it was going to be alright.

At least Kwan was here with his alpha and he wasn't all alone. It was in such situations, he really felt the loneliness kick in and realized how he had no one else in this world he could call his own.

Kwan stayed overnight, knowing how anxious Jungkook could get on such days. In the morning, Si-woo brought pancakes and chocolate drinks telling them they needed something sweet to cheer them up on such a stressful day. Jungkook was grateful for his presence. Si-woo was on his way to become a big brother figure in his life. He was a good alpha.

Once they had their fill, Si-woo went on to scent his boyfriend to his heart's content. That was when Jungkook realized how much he missed seeing Jimin and having his scent around him even though they met only a handful of times.

Kwan's alpha Si-woo had volunteered to accompany them to the court as a moral support. Jungkook could tell Kwan's relationship was flourishing since that incident with Jun-Myeon. They have gotten closer than ever and Kwan has been spending more time with his alpha. Even now, they sat closer in the backseat, hands intertwined and Kwan smelled heavily of Si-woo.

Jungkook wondered what it'd feel like to wear Jimin's scent like that. Would Jimin appreciate that? Though Jimin had scented him briefly, they weren't at that stage yet. Yes, they kissed and made out but scenting was considered far more intimate than kissing. It was how two wolves bonded and claimed the other.

Carrying one's scent was one thing. It was like using perfume. But rubbing over one's scent gland to embed their scent deeper was something else. Would Jimin agree to scent his clothes for him? What if he wanted to keep their relationship private?

What am I thinking? I told him I didn't want to end up in a tabloid and he promised. If I wear his scent then everyone who knows Jimin would know the nature of our relationship.

Yet, he couldn't help the longing that filled his chest. It was the wolf's doing. He didn't understand why his wolf was so taken with the alpha. A part of him wanted to know what it felt like to walk around as a taken omega. Would that change how the others looked at him? Would he feel different about it?

He sighed, inhaling the fading scent of Mr. Park in his t-shirt.The old man hasn't stopped to visit him in a while and this was the last of the clothing that held his scent.

Would it be a bother to ask him to stop by just to scent a few clothes? Or he could ask one of his friend's brother or dad to scent a few items for him.

As Jungkook sat lost in his conflicting thoughts, the car came to a smooth stop and two men in formal suits jogged toward the door. When one of them bent to the window level, Jungkook recognized him as the attorney. They immediately exited the vehicle.
