One Step Closer - PART 1

One Step Closer - 190💕

Both snorted under their breath. "Really?"

"Look at him," she continued condescendingly. "Wearing hand down thrift shop stuff and begging for mercy."

"Ha Kwan, age twenty-one?"

"Yes," Jungkook replied without hesitation.

Na-Ra's manicured nails dug into the counter as she glared at him.

"He's in the emergency care unit. It doesn't specify the reason for his admission or his status as a regular wolf. It just says emergency admission permitted by Dr. Jia. Are you his guardian?"

"Yes."

Na-Ra glared at Jungkook with disgust. She despised him from the bottom of her heart but he looked disheveled and distraught, which was so satisfying to look at. The bitchy omega didn't even realize she was there and staring at him. "Wonder what's so special about this wench?"

"Should scold our men first," the front office manager replied. "Wonder what this lowly life has to offer that we don't. If they had kept it in their pants then we wouldn't be suffering like this. Bet they carry diseases." He was a purebred omega as well. "I've scheduled your next appointment in five days." His fingers flew across the keyboard.

Na-Ra remembered she had to fly out to China before they confiscated her passport, where she would sell her company to the Chinese investor. She had a scheduled procedure to remove that one disturbing wrinkle on her forehead before that. These past few weeks had been very taxing and running seemed like the best option.

Now the very reason that caused her all this headache was standing right in front of her and she felt her rage bubbling.

"Alright. We've been waiting for the guardian since his arrival. You must know that regular wolf health insurance isn't accepted here and this is not standard healthcare. Our hospital requires one million won security deposit for any regular wolf who wants to access the high end treatment offered here, especially to afford a doctor like Jia. So you have to pay the prices set by this hospital management in advance. Please pay it in advance so your friend can continue to receive uninterrupted treatment instead of getting shifted to the Seoul Standard Healthcare."

"Oh, I love this," the front office manager muttered. "This is gonna be good."

"Here comes the best part," Na-Ra muttered, glancing away as she fought the smile that spread on her face.

"This is where I call the security," the other omega snorted.

"I'll pay," Jungkook said without any hesitation while fishing for his wallet. Na-Ra's head snapped toward his direction. She saw him pull his wallet. It was so similar to the one in Jimin's possession. Jimin had at least three of them that were worth a fortune. She watched him sift through three cards, contemplating which one to use before he pulled one out. "Here. You can charge the bill to this card."

"Fucking son of a son," she hissed. "Where did he get those cards from?"

"Park Jimin?" The receptionist's eyes widened as she gaped at him.

"That's right. That's my alpha."

Anger shot through Na-Ra and so did her rage. Her breath hitched and she remembered the way Jungkook challenged her the other day. You look so fucking desperate. I wish that friend dies and today I'll show you what happens if you fuck with a purebred.

"He's lying," Na-Ra whispered lowly just out of spite. "Jimin would never go for a low life like him."

"Are you sure?" The front office manager leaned forward, speaking in a hushed voice, his gaze regarding the low born omega. He glanced at the receptionist and Jungkook. "He has three. How can that be?"
