One Step Closer - PART 1

One Step Closer - 154💕

The collective murmur rippling through the courtroom was just white noise to Jungkook's ears as he stared at Jun-Myeon. There was no doubt his money had cushioned the blow and this conviction was more lenient but it was a victory nonetheless. And a very few regular omegas in history had won a legal battle against a purebred wolf. Jungkook probably was setting a history.

Jun-Myeon was now a convict, though his crime was minor in this regard and his penalty very low. His record would forever be stained. They won.

The gavel struck again, silencing the courtroom and drawing their attention. "As for Park Jimin, this court finds him not guilty," the judge announced. "His actions are seen as an act of self defense and protection. He's cleared of all charges."

This time Jungkook clapped, his grin wide and eyes twinkling. "Yes," he murmured. "Take that, asshat."

Jun-Myeon scoffed, averting his gaze to say something to his legal team.

"Damn, he's so scary. I think I'd have peed if it wasn't for you," Kwan hissed. "Aren't you scared? His looks are giving me creeps."

Jungkook shook his head. "Not really. I know we aren't alone."

"Ah, that's true." Kwan sighed. "Can we leave now? It's over."

"We can't. Also we need to check in with Attorney Kim."

"Okay," Kwan relented immediately.

The session wrapped after a few more minutes and the courtroom soon emptied, leaving only the two teams of attorneys along with the two regular omegas. Prosecutor Jun and Attorney Kim approached him first.

"Congratulations," Attorney Kim said. "That's a win."

Jungkook smiled. "Thank you for working hard."

"Yes, thank you for everything." Kwan bowed.

Prosecutor Jun was about to say something but his features hardened and eyes narrowed when he saw someone approaching them. Jungkook turned his head to see Jun-Myeon and Attorney Oh striding toward them with a victorious grin.

"Jungkook, isn't it?" Jun-Myeon said. "I knew you were trouble, but never accounted how much pain you'd become. But I must admit you're more of my type than your friend here." He rubbed his chin as his gaze trailed over him. "It should have been you that night." His smirk was dirty just like the intention behind his gaze. "Bet you're a screamer."

Attorney Kim's face contorted with rage and he tried to intervene but Jungkook stopped him by lifting a hand.

"That's for me to know and for you to never find out," Jungkook responded in a calm, cool tone. His voice steady and gaze narrowed.

Jun-Myeon snorted. "Feisty." He sniffed. "I like taming feisty bitches."

"So does Jimin. In his case, he likes to tame assholes like you," he countered.

Jun-Myeon laughed out loud, the sound cutting through the growing tension like a knife. Kwan's trembling hand snaked around Jungkook's elbow as he plastered himself to his side.

"If you had been on my side, omega...I'd have showered you with more than whatever Jimin has given you." Jun-Myeon stared at him intently. He pushed both hands inside his pockets. "Anyways, let bygones be bygones. What do you say?"

Jungkook didn't respond but held his gaze. He wasn't afraid in the least. Jun-Myeon was an asshole and it showed. Not that he had any respect for him before.

"I have a pretty good offer for you." Jun-Myeong grinned. "Only because you're prettier than your friend here. I can be generous if you agree."

"Not interested."
