One Step Closer - PART 1

One Step Closer - 60💕

Jungkook bit his bottom lip but released his grip with a tiny nod.

Mr. Park dialed Jimin's number, putting it on a loud speaker. "Jimin, where are you?"

"Hey, Dad, I'm at the hotel. I'll be heading to the airport in a bit. Is everything alright? Where is Jungkook?"

They could hear the rustling sound and the clack of his boots in the background as he moved around.

"He's on his way to the dorm," Mr. Park lied. "I got out best men with him. Your precious omega will be at your home when you return."

Jungkook blushed and gripped his knee, trying hard to hide his flaming face.

"That's good. There's something I forgot to tell you earlier. I want an omega bodyguard to tail him all the time, especially when he goes to restrooms in public places." Jimin's voice was laced with cold fury. "I'll not allow a repeat of what happened today. When I land in Seoul, that fucking bastard is as good as dead."

"Yes, son."

"Good. I'll talk to you later. I gotta hurry or I'll miss the flight."

"Wait."

"Yes."

"What you told me earlier about Jungkook..." Mr. Park drawled, eyes on Jungkook. "It's not an emotional decision, right? You meant everything you said, right?"

Jungkook sucked in a breath, struggling with the urge to bite his nails. His heart raced and it was that mixed feeling where he wasn't ready to hear the answer but was also couldn't wait to hear it.

Jimin exhaled audibly on the other end. "Dad, you know I don't speak empty words."

"Still, as your father, I'm worried. Are you sure it's really not a trial period?"

"Dad, I told you already."

Jungkook felt like he was at the edge of his seat, heart beating so loud and his fingers digging into his thighs. His palms grew sweaty and there were beads of sweat on his face despite the air conditioner.

"I know. Just for the sake of your father, can you tell me again what Jungkook is to you?" Mr. Park continued in a casual tone.

Jimin groaned. "I'm not repeating myself."

"Come on, son. It's just you and me. Tell me one more time," Mr. Park coaxed. "I'll pretend this conversation never happened in the first place. Just wanna make sure it wasn't all emotional speech and you forgot what you said."

"Fine. I remember exactly what I told you. Every single word of it," Jimin sounded a bit annoyed. "I told you to tell that motherfucker, Na Hak-Kun, that this omega is my future mate and will be the father of my pups. That's what Jeon Jungkook is to me. He belongs to the Park family now! He's mine. Fucking mine. I'll kill anyone who dares to come between us. Is this you wanted to hear? I'll fucking marry him and claim him publicly with a bite. I'll tie myself to him for eternity. I wanna see which motherfucker has the audacity to question that sort of claim. Do I make myself clear?"

"Very clear." Mr. Park grinned victoriously while Jungkook gasped silently. He released a breath he didn't realize he was holding.

"I mean it, Dad. Jungkook is mine," Jimin continued. "I do not mince my words when it comes to him and I think I'm imprinted on him."

Jungkook's eyes widened. Was he?

"Oh," Mr. Park said.

"When I said I'm trying to figure it out, I was trying to find why my wolf was so taken with him. I didn't want to give him false promises before I was sure of my feelings."

"And you're sure now?"

"What did not sound sure from everything I just told you?" Jimin sounded furious. "I just admitted that I'm imprinted on him and is that what you have to ask me?"

"Nope, just double checking."

"You know what you're doing. And I know what you're doing. We're done talking."

"Alright, I'll let you go then. See you soon." Mr. Park's grin widened and his scent radiated happiness. He looked a bit too pleased with himself and everything else.

The call ended without so much as a bye from Jimin's end and Jungkook sat dumbfounded at the new information.

What was that?

Jimin is imprinted on me?

He couldn't wrap his head around everything he just heard.

Alpha is imprinted on us?

His wolf joined his musings.

"Told you," Mr. Park said. "My pup might be confusing to understand but his heart is always at the right place. He will never hurt you." He took hold of Jungkook's hands. "He will never lead you along if he doesn't feel more for you."

Jungkook nodded.

"Are your suspicions cleared, my little prince?" He bent to look into his eyes.

Jungkook chuckled, "Yes, Dad."

"That's good. So how about we add a dessert to celebrate?"

"Sure."

As their car sped through the traffic, Jungkook held his breath while battling the hundreds of butterflies fluttering in his belly. Every word Jimin spoke continued to replay in his mind. Jimin claimed him as his future mate and the father of his pups. Something shifted inside him. His wolf rejoiced beyond belief.

Jimin is imprinted on me.

Am I imprinted on him?

This update was commissioned by 

Many were asking about Ko-Fi commissions too. I want to stress that it's not mandatory. I'll update even if not for commissions. However, as many of you might know, I have a full-time job and I'm facing some health issues for which I'm on a medication. 

So to manage the extra expenses, I take up extra freelancing work. This makes it impossible for me to write fics because I'll be utilizing my free time for work. It was then a reader suggested that they would pay me if I can give them updates. So I thought if I can make some extra bucks, I can utilize my free time to write and update instead of taking up other freelance gigs like I used to. Commissions allow me to limit my freelance work and write more here. That's all.

Many kind hearted readers have been supporting me to do so. I come here to update whenever I get some spare time. These days it's mostly on weekends. Please note, the people who commissioned will receive first access to the updates and so on. Also commission is done on first come first serve basis. 

You can commission me via - https://ko-fi.com/chimmyxkookies/commissions. If you go here, you can see available slots for each fic. You can buy slots only if I'm open to write certain work and you will be able to see open slots in my Ko-Fi page. 

So that's about it. Take care, loves.
