Work Text:
“You reek of Jimin,” Namjoon muttered as soon as Yoongi entered the studio. Jeongguk was sitting next to Namjoon while he was petting his boyfriend’s hair lovingly. Jeongguk and Namjoon had been dating since Jeongguk’s first year in university. The older alpha was the teacher’s assistant and a third-year student in music production. It was very hard for both of them to accept their feelings due to both of them being alphas and it was very uncommon in their society for both alphas to date each other. However, it was not illegal and the ones against it were mostly closed-minded people or the older generation. Fortunately, both families accepted the relationship with the happiest and sweetest smiles. Jeongguk and Namjoon were very thankful. They instantly connected the first time their eyes locked and after what felt like forever, Namjoon asked Jeongguk out.
Yoongi rolled his eyes. “Well, thank you, genius.” The blond-haired guy replied back and sat on his chair after turning on his computer and connecting his keyboard with the USB cable. “I just left his house.”
“You know that’s not what I meant,” Namjoon muttered and sighed quietly. Yoongi tried to ignore his comment. He knew exactly where the conversation was heading. However, he was not in the mood to go into such detail about his and Jimin’s friendship or whatever they had. Yoongi had come to terms with his crush on Jimin when he was sixteen years old, but he was never brave or confident enough to admit those feelings to him. He loved whatever he had with his childhood best friend.
“He has scented you… again.”
Yoongi kept silent after Namjoon’s observation. Jeongguk kept gazing in between his boyfriend and Yoongi. The atmosphere was heavy, impatient and almost unbearable. “It’s not like I can just tell him to stop…” Yoongi replied. “He doesn’t really understand what he is doing.”
“I am sure he does, Yoongi. How can you not know you’re scenting som–"
“I’ve told you before, Joon. He has always done it. I am sure he thinks his scent is our scent mingled due to how much he is used to it.” Yoongi protested against the boy with whitish hair.
“That’s cute. It is like you're destined-mates.” Jeongguk snarked and grinned up at Yoongi who, embarrassed, turned away to avoid eye-contact.
Yoongi’s cheeks turned a cute pink-rosy color. “You’re so in love with him.” Jeongguk laughed while leaning forward, almost falling but his boyfriend caught him and brought him closer.
“I don’t know if it’s Oblivious Day or if it’s just a thing for mates to say the same thing.” The older boy stated while he ignored the giggles coming from both alphas. “I… I've always liked him… you both know- STOP IT!” Yoongi yelled while his cheeks were much pinker than before. It was all due to their friend’s snickering as Yoongi mentioned his love for Jimin. There was no lie in his speech though.
“It is funny how you’re only soft for him,” the older alpha smiled and looked at his computer screen while he was opening the program to continue his unfinished production. “You go all smiley and shit whenever you’re with him.”
Yoongi stayed silent as if he was ignoring his best friend’s comment. Jimin truly did make Yoongi happier and softer. There was just something so special about Jimin that made Yoongi feel comfortable and at his best whenever they were together. It was totally understandable. Jimin was an angel.
Yoongi realized that he had, perhaps, felt something more than a friendly attraction towards Jimin since his teenager's days. Each day, hour, minute and second, those feelings were getting stronger. Every time the younger male would lean into Yoongi’s embrace while laughing at some pathetic joke, he would feel his heart race. It wasn’t even a bit!! It would feel as if his heart was trying to run away from his own body and grab hold of Jimin’s. During those moments, Yoongi tried his best to not think much about his likely crush on his best friend (not just likely anymore). Yoongi loved the way Jimin smiled whenever they were together. How pouty he would be whenever he didn’t want to do something and asked the older man to do it instead (and Yoongi being a whipped and poor man couldn’t deny the cute young boy, which was damn frustrating). He loved the way Jimin would loudly sing in the shower with no shame and his angelic voice would fill his house whenever they had a sleepover. Jimin’s voice was definitely Yoongi’s favorite sound in the whole universe.
Nothing could ever beat that.
Every single detail of his features, his plump lips which were so cute yet so desirable or even his cute round baby face that also had a very sharp and masculine jawline made the older fall in love with Jimin in different ways every single day. Jimin was just the definition of perfection, the masculine version of Aphrodite. Jimin’s personality was so precious and beautiful as well. The way he would smile at people made males and females fall in love with him. He helped everyone and, due to it, everyone loved helping him. Jimin was just simply perfect in every way.
With it all simply written, there was no denying that Min Yoongi was falling so damn hard for Park Jimin.
“He’s… He’s Jimin.” He chuckled softly. “What can I do?”
Jimin sat on his couch, rereading his notes for the upcoming exam when Taehyung barged through their shared living room door with an enthusiastic look on his beautiful face. Taehyung’s habit of coming out of nowhere with explosive speeches was an usual thing for both of them since they had been flatmates. Taehyung likes to be dramatic or so he says ‘different’. Jimin is very thankful for his roommate who is also his platonic soulmate. They’ve been together in the apartment for three years.
When Jimin first came to Seoul, he had to stay in Yoongi’s shared apartment with Namjoon and Hoseok (now they all have separate apartments). The flat was already small for the three males to live together and adding a fourth person wasn’t easy. However, they all made it possible and Jimin has been very thankful to all since then. Thankfully, Taehyung, Hobi’s friend at that time, needed a new roommate as the old one was moving away.
Jimin and Taehyung met and instantly clicked. They share everything. Every little thing with each other. Even those nasty things Hoseok and Taehyung do as mates. (To be honest, Jimin didn’t want to know so many details about it but Taehyung loves to talk about it and Jimin loves to see his roommate excited.)
Well…
Jimin and Taehyung shared everything. Except for a little detail that Jimin thought it was unimportant.
His crush on his best friend, Yoongi.
Not important in Jimin’s view because he has always thought of it to be a small thing.
A small thing that has lasted for more than fifteen years.
But oh well…
“I am going to stay with Hoseok this weekend!” Taehyung almost yelled due to all his excitement, which Jimin didn’t really understand where it came from.
"Why are you so excited though? It's not like you haven't spent weekends with your boyfriend." Jimin mumbled and continued analyzing his resumes. Taehyung rolled his eyes and walked towards him, sitting right next to him.
"It's my first heat with him, you dumbass," Taehyung replied while he was looking at his roommate who still looked confused by the youngest’s big excitement.
Jimin's lips made an 'O' shape as soon as he proceeded Taehyung's comment. "Will it be here?" Jimin asked.
Taehyung shook his head. "Hoseok's house."
"Good because I don't want our apartment to smell like you and Hoseok." Jimin teased his roommates and pinched his nose jokingly.
"Our apartment always smells like you and Yoongi-hyung." Taehyung replied and smirked. The mention of him and Yoongi made Jimin blushed slightly. His cheeks turned into a very visible and dark pink which made Taehyung laugh and tease the other omega even more. "You're so cute." Taehyung laughed.
"Our apartment doesn't always smell like me and Yoongi-hyung." He defended himself.
"I'll rephrase," Taehyung cleared his throat. "You always smell like Yoongi-hyung." Taehyung emphasized the ‘always’ which made Jimin blush harder and hide his face with his small hands. Jimin could feel the heat coming from his blushing face.
"It- It's only because we are always together." Jimin whined defensively.
However, Taehyung ignored his comment and kept smirking at his platonic soulmate. "Yeah, sure."
"I hate you…"
Yoongi's apartment was cozy. Jimin loved the warm feeling that it had. They were supposed to share an apartment when Jimin moved to Seoul for university, however, Jimin decided to move in with Taehyung
The young omega with blue hair had his head laid down on Yoongi's sugar-white shoulder. "Are you tired, Sunny?” Jimin buried his face in Yoongi’s broad and soft chest and hummed quietly. They were both comfortably laying on the soft and large couch that was placed in Yoongi’s apartment.
“Our new choreography is very tiring.” Jimin mumbled. "Hoseok-hyung's new routine is very exhausting."
"Should I punish Hobi for making you tired?” Yoongi asked while grinning. Jimin giggled. “Rest, Jiminie… You can sleep here if you want. I will take you to my bed later.” The older male muttered in his sleepy tone while he was petting his best friend's soft blue hair. Jimin hummed and closed his eyes.
26th May 2010
It has been one week and three days since Jimin presented. Therefore, it has been exactly one week since Jimin hasn't come to school or hasn't met up with Yoongi at their usual place after school. Jimin hated it. He hated the ‘presenting’ time, not because he had to go through presenting sickness or small heats here and there but because he couldn’t see Yoongi.
Jimin missed Yoongi so fucking much. He couldn’t stop thinking about Yoongi. He couldn’t stop thinking about the amazing feeling of being in Yoongi’s embrace and his strong scent since the older male had presented as an alpha.
Jimin was presenting as an omega.
Ever since the doctor said that his symptoms were indicating that he was going to be an omega, fifteen-year-old Jimin had only one question in mind.
Will Yoongi like his smell?
On his last day of staying at home, a Thursday, Jimin texted Yoongi with lots of excitement because he was finally going to be able to see him at school the next time. The omega was rather excited about spending Friday together to do their usual Friday sleepover. However, once Friday arrived, his parents weren’t letting him go and see Yoongi and Jimin ended up crying until he let them go see his best friend.
Somehow the separation between him and his best friend made Jimin feel heartbroken as if they were meant to be together. Fortunately, his parents talked with Yoongi’s parents and they let Jimin go eventually.
“You’re here.” Seventeen-year-old Yoongi said breathlessly as soon as he opened his door’s room. Jimin had the most beautiful smile on his face which made Yoongi’s cheek turn into a rosy tone. The alpha tried to look away due to the feeling of embarrassment but his action was stopped by the younger’s hug.
“I missed you.” Jimin whispered while they were hugging tightly.
It was at that moment that Yoongi deeply inhaled Jimin’s scent (at school, it was hard to pick up Jimin’s scent due to the other’s around). Jimin smelled exactly like Alyssum, Yoongi’s favorite scent ever.
“I missed you too.” Yoongi muttered back almost inaudible. Nevertheless, Jimin heard it perfectly. Both of their faces were hot and reddish but neither of them cared.
They let go of each other a few seconds later and walked towards Yoongi’s bed where his laptop was placed. It was the norm in their sleepovers to watch a movie. They were supposed to take turns choosing what they’d watch, but Yoongi could never let himself say no when Jimin pouted. Yoongi had been weak for Jimin since the beginning of time.
They laid on the bed and watched the movie while they semi-cuddled. Jimin’s head was resting on Yoongi’s shoulder and his eyes were almost closing from how tired he was. Yoongi knew how exhausting the presenting time could be.
A few minutes later, Jimin was deep in sleep and that was when the alpha felt it. Jimin was leaning closer into Yoongi’s embrace. He snuggled his thick and kissable lips on Yoongi’s smooth scent gland.
Yoongi froze and peeked carefully to his side. Jimin was sleeping- and scent marking him. Yoongi shivered slightly but tried his best to not get affected by the younger's action.
Jimin was scenting him. Unconsciously.
Present Time
Jimin had to leave earlier than usual because of his morning lessons. Yoongi felt a bit sad but he didn’t say anything. Nowadays, one of the pros of having the younger sleeping at his house was to have Jimin wrapped around his arms in the morning and being able to contemplate his perfect face the first thing in the morning.
“Hey, Yoon. Are you alive?” Namjoon asked while he shook Yoongi’s arm as if he was trying to wake him up. Yoongi had been looking at the computer screen without doing anything for at least twenty minutes.
“Well, I’m breathing!” The blond-haired male snarked at the younger and looked back to the computer screen which by then was all black.
“You smell like you’re going on a rut.” Jeongguk muttered and his boyfriend, who was sitting beside him, nodded, agreeing with Gguk’s statement. He turned around to face the other two alphas before speaking up.
“Not me.” The older alpha sighed. “Jimin.”
He had smelled it the previous night. He knew the younger had no idea his smell was changing and that his heat was coming up. Yoongi knew but preferred not to say anything about it. Not that he minded… He actually liked his smell. It was so endearing and addictive. Jimin was also extra clingy when in pre-heat. Yoongi already loved the normal clinginess of his best friend, but these last few days had been even better.
The only thing Yoongi despised during the younger’s pre-heat was how possessive and protective he would become whenever Jimin had alphas offering to help him through his heat. He hated it. He hated the alphas’ boldness and himself for letting his nature take over when the one in question wasn’t his to protect.
That was right.
Jimin wasn’t his. He had no right to feel such a way towards the younger.
Both Jeongguk and Namjoon were speechless. Yoongi cleared his throat and looked back at the computer in order to start working properly. Though he tried his best to concentrate on his work, his actions were interrupted by another one of Namjoon’s sudden questions.
“Will you help him?”
Yoongi choked on the oxygen. How? His brain stuttered trying to process this thought and his breath felt stuck in his throat. He became unable to pronounce a word, to answer his friend’s question.
“Nam—,”
“Rise and shine, fuckers.” The smell of an omega filled the air of the small studio. He was tall, thin and had a flawless waist. His lips were thick and big (but not as thick as Jimin’s; Yoongi’s mind reminded him). His scent was delightful and irresistible, except for Yoongi who fucking disliked the smell of honey. Maybe it was his smell that made loads of alphas drool over the omega.
“Jin-hyung!” Jeongguk yelled, jumped from his seat and ran towards the omega whose smile was bright and easy. He hugged him tightly and giggled happily. “Kylie Jenner is going to sue you for using her sentence."
“You and your memes nonsense…” Seokjin muttered. He pulled Jeongguk’s away from his embrace and walked towards the oldest in the room except him. However, as soon as Jin got near Yoongi, he stopped himself and gazed at the alpha weirdly. “Yoongi…”
Jin got closer and smelled Yoongi, a suspicious expression on his face. The alpha was tense. “Why do you smell like an omega?” He asked. The atmosphere of the room dropped. Everyone was speechless and Yoongi was avoiding eye-contact with the omega whose eyes pleaded for answers.
“It’s Jimin.” He mumbled. Seokjin sigh was heavy and audible in the silence of the room, the older alpha could sense the disappointment rolling off the omega.
“Are you and Jimin finally dating?”
“No.”
"Jimin scent-marked you." Jin pointed out and Yoongi tried to ignore him; however, Jin continued his speech.
“Yoongi…" Jin mumbled carefully and Yoongi looked at him. "Carrying his smell will keep away potential mates.”
Yoongi sighed. He knew that. He totally knew that having Jimin’s scent all over him would keep away potential mates. Potential relationships. But deep in Yoongi’s heart, he didn’t care about all those mates. He didn’t care about future relationships. He didn’t care about those unless those things were Jimin.
Maybe he was selfish. Maybe.
“I know.” Despite all his thoughts, he replied with a simple answer.
Jimin kept going around his house looking for the perfect box to put the little cookies he made for someone deeply precious to him. The blue-haired omega had spent all weekend alone trying different kinds of recipes. Fortunately, the chocolate cookies were baked perfectly. When Hoseok brought back Taehyung after his exhausting heat days, both tried Jimin’s cookies and they enjoyed the flavor a lot. To be honest, neither Jimin nor Taehyung cooked. Therefore both omega mostly survived either by leftovers or Hoseok and Yoongi’s cooking when they were at their apartment. Neither of the alphas complained because both of them were whipped for the omegas but only one alpha would say it out loud.
Taehyung was getting dizzy from seeing Jimin running and looking everywhere in their flat. He also felt very confused as to why Jimin was so determined to find the perfect box for some cookies. He didn’t understand why it was so special for him. Unless… “Are those cookies for Yoongi-hyung?”
The blue-haired boy stopped his movements just to look at his roommate who was smirking at him. Jimin’s cheeks which were already pink from his searching flamed up all the way to his ears and he could feel his face burning from the mention of his best friend’s name.
Those cookies were indeed for Min Yoongi. “Yes…”
“And you need a box to put those cookies in?” Taehyung asked and Jimin eyes widened due to the overwhelming excitement. Taehyung chuckled and ran to his bedroom with Jimin scurrying after.
Taehyung pulled out a box and placed it down on his bed and opened it. There were various beautiful gift boxes inside and Jimin was truly amazed. "Remember that old job I told you about when we first met? Well, I used to make gift boxes and would sell them on the internet." Taehyung smiled, proud of himself. He had every right to be. The boxes were the most beautiful thing Jimin had ever seen.
"Choose one." Taehyung said and pushed the box to Jimin's side so he could take a better look at it.
"Tae… " He uttered while he was kneeling down. "Are you sure?" He looked at his soulmate who nodded passionately.
"Thanks, Taetae." He hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead tenderly. Taehyung giggled and hugged him back.
"My pleasure, Chims. Is it for your dating anniversary with Yoongi?" Jimin blushed very hard and looked for the nearest pillow to hit his roommate; unfortunately, there was none in sight.
"I hate you so much." Jimin mumbled. "It's for our friendship anniversary." Taehyung was pouting.
"You're so cute."
Jimin ended up choosing the most simple yet wonderful box. He knew the alpha liked simple things.
He took the subway to the building in which Yoongi's studio was. As soon as he entered the main hall, the secretary greeted Jimin. Everyone working on that building knew Jimin already. It was almost like the younger omega had been living there due to the number of hours he had been there to stay with Yoongi.
"Jimin!" One of the workers, Minyeon yelled as soon as she saw the pretty box. "Are those for someone special?" She asked while she was pointing at it. Jimin nodded proudly. "Lucky person." Minyeon giggled. Jimin blushed slightly and walked towards the corridor where Yoongi's studio was.
He was nervous. He didn't understand why the word nervousness was in his mind. It's not like he hadn't given presents to Yoongi. Yoongi is someone he feels comfortable with; why would he be feeling such a way?
He gathered his courage and started walking more confidently. However, his confidence stopped once he heard his name inside Yoongi's studio.
He stopped by the door and tried to listen more closely. He knew it was very disrespectful to overhear someone's conversation but his name was mentioned, so, according to Jimin, he had every right to do it.
This was a very bad idea though.
"No." It was Yoongi's voice.
"Jimin scent-marked you." The unknown voice replied to him.
Jimin's heart dropped. He has never scent-marked Yoongi. Not when he was conscious of his actions. He knew such a thing was very intimate and usually done between couples.
He and Yoongi were not a couple.
He loved Yoongi. He really did. But he would never do such a thing that could possibly make him uncomfortable.
Jimin was embarrassed.
“Yoongi…" There was a silent moment in the studio and from Jimin's perspective, he could totally sense the tension in it. "Carrying his smell will keep away potential mates.”
Jimin's heart broke. He felt his world fall apart. Despite his feelings for Yoongi, he never intended to be selfish. Of course, he wanted the other male-only to himself but he still loved and respected the alpha more than his own feelings to have him.
Yoongi sighed and Jimin just wanted to hide. He hated himself for doing such a thing unconsciously. For probably making Yoongi so uncomfortable. He hated himself for taking away the opportunity for his best friend to have someone romantically. Someone that could make him happy.
“I know.”
Jimin ran away. He ran away with tears trying to escape from his beautiful eyes. Tears trying to escape from his bleeding heart.
Fortunately, it started raining and the rain could cover those tears which had started falling without Jimin's permission.
He was lost.
"Taehyung, let me in." Jimin could hear Yoongi's voice from his bedroom. He really wished he didn't. It has been three days since the pre-heat symptoms took over Jimin and since the day Jimin had run away after over-hearing Yoongi's conversation.
"He is in the pre-heat state, Yoongi."
Pre-heat for Jimin was very unusual. While male omegas had the pre-heat symptoms one day before the actual heat strikes, Jimin’s started five days before. His heat also lasted longer than average.
With the pre-heat symptoms killing him, Jimin missed Yoongi's warmth and loving way he would always take care of Jimin whenever he was in that state.
Yoongi would usually stay with Jimin until the heat day. He would cook for him, help him prepare the bath, and sleep with him.
It was the first time in seven years that Yoongi wasn't there to help him. Yoongi. The alpha was standing at their main door, begging Taehyung to enter.
"Let me take care of Jimin then. You know I always help." Yoongi kept trying but Taehyung wasn't letting him in. A part of him was telling him to run towards Yoongi and just be with him forever but the other part of him was telling him to stay away because he had done enough bad things.
"Sorry, hyung. Jimin doesn't want help this time. He will call you when the heat is over." He heard the door closing right after Taehyung muttered those words to the older male.
Taehyung walked towards Jimin's room and knocked on the door softly. "You don't have to knock Tae."
He entered the room, laid on the bed with Jimin and tapped on his belly. Jimin understood the communication and laid his head on his soulmate's belly. The youngest omega started petting and caressing Jimin's hair. Jimin felt at peace for once in those three days. "Do you wanna explain to me now why I cannot let Yoongi-hyung in? Did you two fight?"
"We didn't fight." Jimin mumbled. "Tae?" Taehyung hummed. "Did you know I scent-marked Yoongi?"
"You always smell like him. So, yes." Taehyung replied softly. Despite the delicate phrasing, Jimin still felt the urge to cry. He held it in.
"I didn’t know I was doing it." Jimin whispered, his voice thick with tears. He closed his eyes and unfortunately, a small tear betrayed him and trailed down his face.
"Jiminie…" Taehyung mumbled while he was wiping away the tears that continued and wouldn't stop falling. Jimin lifted his head from his roommate's lap and sat on the bed. Taehyung mirrored him right after and sat in the same position.
"He hates me…" Jimin mumbled.
"Trust me. The last thing Yoongi feels about you is hatred." Taehyung reassured him. However, Jimin still felt conflicted.
"Why didn't you tell me I was scent-marking him?" The omega asked his roommate, quietly almost like a whisper. "I am keeping away potential mates for him."
"And for you." Taehyung added.
The blue-haired omega didn't care about himself. "I like Yoongi." He blurted out.
To be honest, Jimin was expecting Taehyung to be shocked but the younger boy simply nodded and smiled at him. "I know you do." Taehyung simply replied. "Everyone can feel and sense the love between you two."
Jimin started crying harder. He didn't understand why his emotions were so messed up. Why were they so out of control? Fortunately, Taehyung was there and hugged Jimin tightly. He held Jimin like he was the most precious thing in the world. He held his soulmate like there was no tomorrow. Jimin felt secure.
"Talk to him tomorrow, please. I hate to see you like this." Taehyung whispered.
"I will." Jimin mumbled and fell asleep in his roommate's embrace. It has been three days since he had slept so comfortably. But it had also been three days since he'd been missing Yoongi's presence.
He was determined to talk to him the following day.
jm: hey
yg: jimin
yg: you finally answered me
yg: I was so worried
yg: you didn't answer me for 3 days and I even went to your house today
jm: I know
jm: I am sorry
jm: I really miss you
yg: are you avoiding me?
jm: hyung
jm: can you come to my house tomorrow?
jm: i wanna talk to you
yg: 7pm?
jm: 7pm
It was a little before seven when the doorbell rang and the sound echoed through the apartment. Jimin's already anxious heart began to beat even faster.
Yoongi was waiting outside of that door. He was waiting for him.
Jimin ran to open the door nervous, but excited. He could already smell the alpha's sweet scent. The scent that Jimin had been missing for days. The scent that he was so familiar with. The scent he loved.
As soon as he swung the door open, the older male embraced Jimin holding him tightly in his arms. Jimin melted at his touch and hugged the alpha back.
"Don't do that again, Jiminie." Yoongi whispered in his ear while they hugged. Jimin hummed quietly and enjoyed the comfort of the alpha's arms. They let go of each other and Yoongi smiled tenderly at him while his beautiful blond hair fell perfectly across his face. Jimin had missed that smile. He had missed the warmth he always felt whenever he was with Yoongi.
"Let's talk in my bedroom please." Jimin mumbled. Yoongi nodded and followed the omega into the apartment.
Jimin sat on his bed which he had clearly rearranged to form a nest. The blue-haired omega was in his pre-heat state so his need for a safe warm, comfortable place was stronger than ever and had manifested in nest-making. Yoongi always loved the way Jimin would organize his bed whenever he was in that state. He would always ask Yoongi for help and even take some of his clothes to help to build the nest. This time, there was no sight of Yoongi's belongings in it and the nest felt kind of empty.
Yoongi sat on a chair and pushed it towards the bed so he could be closer to Jimin while they were talking. However, "Hyung… Why don't you sit with me on the bed?"
Yoongi sighed. His heart, trying to protect him, gave off a warning signal. "After you explain why you're mad at me, I will," Jimin pouted. Yoongi hated how weak he was for that but this time he had to resist it and remained calm.
"I heard you…" Jimin said, hesitantly. "Talking about the scent-marking accident." His cheeks were very pink due to the extreme amount of embarrassment. Saying those words out loud, especially to Yoongi, made his heart pound at an unimaginable pace. "I am not mad at you. I am mad at myself."
"Oh."
"I am sorry. I didn't know." The omega looked down at his own hands and started playing with his fingers in a way to distract himself and avoid eye-contact with the alpha. However, Yoongi got up from his seat and sat on the bed with Jimin besides him in order to not make eye-contact with him. "I am sure you felt very unco–,"
"I don't mind it, you know?" The blond alpha confessed. "I was the selfish one. I should be the one to apologize. I should have warned you but a part of me wanted to share that moment only with you." Yoongi muttered and scratched his neck. He felt his face burning up; however, he didn't stop himself and turned around to face the younger whose eyes were already gazing at him.
Jimin's cheeks were a glamorous rosy colour and Yoongi loved it. He loved how that colour undoubtedly matched Jimin's skin tone and soft traits.
"Yoongi… I…" Jimin was very hesitant. He wanted to tell the older male he loved having him in his life. He loved carrying the alpha's scent and being in his embrace. He loved every Friday night they would spend together, sleeping together. He loved waking up the next day curled up in Yoongi's arms or holding him in return. He loved waking up in the morning with the alpha's face next to his. He truly had the urge to kiss his cute noise every time. "You know I love having your scent. But I don't want to keep away po- potential mates."
"Jimin." Yoongi took a very deep breath. He was going to lament those words later. "I don't want a mate…" Jimin gazed at him with an uncertain look on his face.
"You don't wa-,"
"I don't want a mate if they aren't you." Although his heart was pounding in his chest, his words came out confident and smooth. "Jimin, I really like you. Well, I am even in love with you."
Jimin’s face was shocked, eyes wide, until he exploded into, "I love you too, Yoongi. I've always loved you. But I never intended to scent-mark you. I may love you but I never wanted to be so self–,"
"Sunshine." Yoongi mumbled while he placed both of his hands on Jimin's cheeks, making Jimin stop and and stare into the elder’s eyes for an understanding and comfortable silence. "You're amazing. I know you would never do it. Thank you for liking me."
Jimin giggled, grabbed Yoongi's hand and intertwined their fingers. He loved how perfectly their fingers intertwined. It felt so nice. How Jimin’s tiny and chubby fingers would flawlessly link with Yoongi’s slender and veiny hands. "Kiss me please." The omega muttered seductively and leaned in further toward Yoongi but the blond alpha put his finger carefully on Jimin's lips so the omega would back away.
"Jiminie… no." Yoongi uttered. Jimin pouted and the older male sighed desperately. "Park Jimin. You're going to be the death of me."
"One peck! Just one!" Jimin muttered and stared at Yoongi with his cute puppy eyes. He knew that the alpha was very soft for him on every occasion and that one wasn't an exception.
"Jimin, I won't be able to control myself. You smell too good." It was the truth. Jimin's smell was already one of his favourite smells; however, in his pre-heat state, it was even sweeter, almost addictive.
"I don't mind!" The blue-haired boy exclaimed happily and Yoongi just sighed, his will broken.
"Just one," The alpha whispered. He leaned in and gently pecked the omega's lips. It was a very small and tender moment. The way his thick lips fitted perfectly with Yoongi's lips.
Jimin's heart was actually exploding at that moment. He had always imagined his first kiss with Yoongi but that moment has exceeded all his expectations. It was his first kiss. His first was shared with the one he loved the most in the world and he couldn't have asked for more.
"The–," Jimin didn't let Yoongi finish his sentence. He grabbed his face and pulled it closer to his and kissed him again. The alpha fell back against the bed while Jimin was crawling on top of him without breaking the kiss shared between both males.
"I love you." Jimin mumbled between kisses. The blond male chucked, breaking their kiss.
They gazed at each other before Yoongi kissed the lips he had waited so long for. "I love you too."
He finally got to say it.
"Stop with that sulking face and just work properly, hyung." Namjoon said and tapped Yoongi's shoulder to catch his attention. "I know you miss Jiminie. But isn't today the last day?"
"Yeah," Yoongi said breathlessly. He and Jimin had been texting everyday despite Jimin being on heat. He also constantly texted Taehyung, telling him to feed Jimin properly because Jimin is already bad at feeding himself on a regular basis but during the heat, he’s even worse.
He wished to see Jimin more than ever.
"Aren't you taking him to the aquarium tomorrow?" Jeongguk excitedly asked. “Namjoonie-hyung won't ever take me to an aquarium." He pouted and Namjoon simply sighed.
"That's because every time we try to go out, we always end up in bed with Jin-hyung." Namjoon justified himself while Yoongi was looking disturbed at them. He truly didn't need to know such details.
"The throuple ." Yoongi replied as he was rolling his eyes.
"You're jealous."
"I have Jiminie! Why would I be jealous?"
"You just are."
Yoongi spotted Jimin in the very crowded entrance of the aquarium. The man was on his phone so Yoongi took the opportunity to send a message to the younger.
yg: i see u
As soon as the omega received the message and read it, he looked up in order to find the other male. Once he saw Yoongi with his genuine smile on his face, he immediately smiled while his heart was pounding very quickly.
Jimin's cheeks were very reddish as Yoongi approached him. The younger boy was so shy. It was officially their first hangout as more than friends. It was their first time together after their kiss a week ago.
"Did I keep you waiting?" Yoongi asked and inserted his phone in his back pocket.
The blue-haired omega followed the movement of the alpha's hand with his eyes. It was at that instant Jimin caught a glimpse of the outfit Yoongi was wearing. He truly looked so hot and delightful. He was wearing a simple white shirt with his leather jacket thrown on top, and Jimin’s favorite of his black jeans that made his crotch area look very charming. He loved how Yoongi could use the most ordinary outfit yet he made it the most impressive and complex look he has seen in his life. He always loved how he would wear very large and baggy shirts and still look the most elegant person alive on earth. Yoongi's beauty was mythical in Jimin's eyes.
Jimin then remembered the question.
"NO! NOT AT ALL!" Jimin yelled so loudly that some strangers stared at them with confused or disgusted looks. He bowed to them apologizing for his loud manners. "I just got here." To be precise, Jimin had gotten there thirty minutes before the time planned because he was too excited about it. He missed Yoongi so much. He just wanted to be with him again.
"Good." Yoongi muttered. He got closer to Jimin and once their shoulder bumped gently, the alpha grabbed the omega's hand and intertwined their fingers mildly and chuckled quietly. Jimin's pulse accelerated the moment he felt Yoongi's finger link with his; however, he tried the best to keep himself steady.
He was happy.
"Let's go?" Yoongi asked.
Jimin hummed while nodding his head.
"This fish looks like you?" Jimin uttered and cracked up very loudly. The alpha's mood softened due to the younger's cute response.
"It does not. It is cute. I am not." Yoongi defended himself and pouted. Nevertheless, Jimin smooched his pout and Yoongi was left with a very shook expression.
"You asked for the kiss, hyung." Jimin giggled and grabbed Yoongi's wrist. "Let's pass through the tunnel now! There are only a few people there now." The omega pushed Yoongi towards the tunnel as his enthusiasm took over his whole body. As soon as they were in the middle of the tunnel, Jimin kept turning around to try to observe everything. The tunnel was fully made of glass so people could totally see the tremendous quantity of fish that the aquarium had. He adored how the fish would swim around the transparent tunnel and sometimes even stop to gaze at the human who, to them, were probably weird creatures. Jimin's smile was so bright, he seemed to enjoy every second of it. It was such an endearing sight for Yoongi.
As he did a 360-degree turn, he ended up tripping over his own foot and, fortunately, Yoongi caught him. He fell in Yoongi's arms and then Jimin was immediately wrapped by those so he wouldn't fall again. "Thanks, hyung." Jimin mumbled, embarrassingly. He felt so secure.
"Are you sure you're a dancer?" Yoongi teased, Jimin hit Yoongi's arm playfully - as if he was hurt by the older male's words - and the alpha started snickering.
Yoongi leaned closer and once his lips were near Jimin's ear, "At least I am good at taking care of you", Yoongi whispered while they held hands softly.
"I am so tired!" Jimin said breathlessly, emphasizing the word so as he was sitting down on the bench near the main hall. His back dropped on the wall behind him and sighed deeply.
"I can't feel my feel leg as well." Yoongi said and sat beside Jimin. "At least we both had fun."
The blond alpha looked at Jimin whose eyes were already on him and licked his lips. He really wanted to kiss the blue-haired omega and feel his soft lips against his. Nevertheless, he looked away, blushing.
"Hyung," Jimin caressed Yoongi's hand which was placed on the bench and near him. The blond boy looked up and their eyes greeted each other. Jimin has never felt so loved. He understood at that moment what euphoria truly meant.
His contentment was with Yoongi.
"I love you." He whispered quietly but Yoongi captured every single emotion and word of the younger. He smiled sweetly at him and kissed his cheek tenderly.
That time, his heart didn't speed up. In contrast, it was steadier. Yoongi was his relief zone. He was the person he felt the safest and delighted with. Yoongi was the person who has always been beside him. Yoongi was the person he wanted to be with forever.
Yoongi was his. The alpha leaned over and pressed a small but endearing kiss on the corner of Jimin’s lips. The omega giggled happily while Yoongi’s heart pounded with excitement.
"I love you too, Sunny." Yoongi answered back with the same softness and heartfelt feeling as Jimin. "I hope I can call you mine."
"Only if you're mine as well."
"Always."
They lived happily ever after.
