Chapter Text
“So how are you liking it in America so far?”
Jaebum can hear his older brother’s voice trying to tease him already. Just waiting to hear him complain about the huge cultural difference and that he’ll want to go back home. And Jaebum won’t lie, it really was like a slap to reality. Ever since the alpha was a child, he’s wanted to make a name for himself. To show off his passions with his voice and dancing. To later on, wanting to add his photography skills and film into the mix.
Music was also a huge part of Lim Jaebeom’s life that he went to college to be a producer and a film major just to come out with flying colors at the age of twenty. He was already seen as very talented back in Korea since he was a child and going through school only improved that. It also helped that his older brother, Lim Jinyoung was now a famous actor and singer that helped pave his way.
But he hasn’t reached stardom yet. And that is why he’s been here in America. To get out his name and become a celebrity just like his older brother. And Jinyoung finds it cute how his little brother is following in his footsteps.
“I’m not catering to you, Jinyoung. I’m doing just fine, thank you,” Jaebum huffs fondly as he walks through a very nice neighborhood.
Jaebum looks very mature for his ripe age of twenty and with his height and body stature he already gets looks alone. Add in his handsome and sexy features with those wild and passionate eyes and you get women staring at him and will even try to get closer for a better look. But luckily this neighborhood was secluded and well, it’s full of celebrities here and there so everyone minds their own business.
Which Jaebum is very happy for because he loves nature and he knows once he reaches celebrity status that it’s gonna be hard to get some alone time so he’s soaking up every second he can.
“Mhmm, don’t lie to me, Jackson’s been telling me all about you since day one.”
Fuck, of course his brother would find a way to watch over him. It’s been like that since they were kids. Where Jinyoung is like a mother at times but not in an annoying way. It’s very sweet and caring actually, especially when Jinyoung left home when he was seventeen and has been busy since. His brother has always made time for him no matter what he’s doing. And always finds out what he’s doing and when to call to cheer him up or just to check in.
He swears Jinyoung must have super powers. Then again, he could’ve gotten it from their mother. She claims its mother’s intuition. Jaebum thinks he must’ve been adopted or his family might’ve been taken over by aliens. Kidding, kidding. Jaebum loves his family. Besides, he looks just like their father as Jinyoung looks more like their mother so he’s definitely not adopted.
“You’ve been having it hard since day one. How do you expect to make it in America if your English is still crappy?” Jinyoung points out.
Jaebum sighs as he can’t hide that one. He knows some broken English but really he couldn’t catch on and it’s not because he hadn’t been paying attention in English class. He reads a lot and finds vocabulary to be very fascinating because of what you can form with them. How words can change someone. Can make them feel things. To express oneself. I mean, hello, he doodles lyrics in his notebooks all the time and wants to get his songs out there. So of course he’s been trying his best here. It’s just for some reason, English doesn’t stick well with him.
“I’ve been trying! Do you know how hard it is when Jackson’s ADHD is going? He starts trying to teach me one word and then ends up jumping to another before rambling on about something else and then before I know it, he’s switching through multiple languages?! Like where did you find this guy?”
Jinyoung’s fond laugh is heard through the phone and Jaebum can imagine his brother trying to cover his mouth to hide his smile,
“I told you, we were both trainees with JYP and formed a group but they didn’t think we’d make it big so we left and proved them wrong.”
Ah that’s right. His brother would tell him about his trainee days with five other members and how they’re still close to this day while they’re all out doing their own thing. How each of them got very big in the celebrity world and even made way more than the JYP company themselves. His brother would also have a warm, fond expression when talking about them too.
“And you should be grateful that Jackson was willing to take you under his wing and help you out.”
“I know, I know. It’s also thanks to you for pulling all these ropes to get me over here and try and help me get started.”
“I’ll take that as a thank you,” Jinyoung sasses.
Jaebum’s own expression softens as he continues to walk and hold the phone to his ear,
“You know I could never repay you for all that you’ve done for me. You, mom and dad have continued to love this problem child since day one.”
“Hey, cut yourself some slack. You’re just a very passionate person. You may be hard headed at times and we’re just gonna blank out your teenage days, but you’re still a good kid at heart. Your tattoos, multiple earrings and your playboy, bad boy attire just hide the kind, romantic, dorky sap that you are on the inside. And that you’re actually a giant softie--”
“Hey hey, no need to pick me apart here.”
“You’re just trying to stop me before I call you cute,” Jinyoung teases with glee.
“I’m not cute! I’m sexy!” Jaebum insists as he even points at himself like Jinyoung is there to see.
“Don’t get your raven hair ruffled any further or you’ll go bald,” Jinyoung sasses.
Jaebum rolls his eyes fondly before snorting at his brother’s sense of humor,
“It’s good to know you haven’t let fame change you,” Jaebum states.
“I know. Which is another reason I put you with Jackson. I don’t want you falling into the wrong crowd as many will take advantage of you. Just give it more time and really, not everyone has stardom happen over night. Keep working hard and you’ll get there. I know you can. Jackson believes in you too.”
Jaebum’s heart swells with warmth from hearing his brother get all sweet and sentimental on him,
“I’ve only been here for two months though, he barely knows me.”
“Don’t say that. I’ve told him and the others all about you since trainee days. They’ve even seen your embarrassing photos.”
“Jinyoung!” Jaebum exclaims as he becomes flustered.
Jinyoung’s laugh is back as those eye whiskers are no doubt showing in glee,
“I love you bro, I gotta go now though. Make sure you call Mom later.”
“Ugh! You’re so lucky! And yeah, I know. Already got an alarm set just in case so I don’t forget.”
“Cute,” Jinyoung teases and waits to hear the alpha growl before hanging up in laughter.
Jaebum blushes as he pockets his phone as he sulks a bit toward Jackson’s home. He didn’t tell his brother but he surely knows how much he misses home. Misses Korea. He’s so out of his element here even though he’s always been quiet and blended in back home. That’s mostly due to him being lost in his head or nose deep in a book. Hell, he’s spent hours just listening to music while sprawled out on his bed or writing lyrics in old notebooks he takes with him everywhere. He doesn’t get much social interaction or had many friends. And when you first see him, he tends to have this mysterious, ‘Don’t fuck with me’ resting face when he’s actually a gentleman and a caring person.
Don’t even get him started on the food difference either. He frowned at many and refused to try others even though Jackson would boast about how good it was. As long as it wasn’t spicy of course but that’s what Jaebum loved. He loved his Korean goodness. Loved the spicy foods that would kick with flavor. Oh, how his mouth waters just now thinking about his mother’s cooking or the rundown restaurant on the corner…
Focus, Jaebum! You’re here to make something of yourself! To express your art and passions and make your family proud! You gotta make sacrifices. You gotta work hard! Improve yourself!
In fact, as soon as he gets back from his morning walk, he’s gonna study more English until Jackson comes home. Maybe he should try and come out of his shell more and go with Jackson to the gym and such. See how he does things. Yeah, one step at a time.
With a burst of energy and determination, Jaebum jogs the rest of the way back home to the fancy building. The jingle of the keys is heard along with his light humming.
He can do this. He’s got this. He’ll repay his brother for working hard. He’ll strive to be the best he can be.
Jaebum unlocks the door and closes it behind him. He kicks off his shoes to put next to the door when he stops. Wait a second…
Jaebum stills as he thinks about if he saw any cars parked outside. Well, there are but like Jackson has multiple and he hasn’t paid enough attention to know which ones are all Jackson’s. Could someone else have parked? Because these shoes right here are not his nor Jackson’s. They’re tinier. And there’s a strawberry scent filling the house--
Um…
“Hello?” Jaebum calls out into the big home.
It’s times like this that the alpha misses when he’d come home and call out and Nora would come running. Sadly, he couldn’t bring his cat with him because of the long distance and due to Jackson having a cat allergy.
Nobody replies back as the alpha makes his way down the hallway and into more open space. He passes the kitchen and dining area before making it to the big open living room where there’s several couches and lounge chairs. Jaebum is about to keep going forth and walk right past when he notices a hand draped over the edge of the couch.
What?
Is there actually someone here? Someone Jackson knows maybe? Someone who has a spare key? Could it be one of the members? Jackson did say they all had a key so they might stop by from time to time.
Curiosity takes over as the alpha moves closer to the couches, Jaebum remains quiet as can be before stopping behind and looking down. And doesn’t expect the sight that greets him.
For one, it makes his breath hitch as he becomes breathless. Like who could even hold such beauty as if a halo light surrounds this person with their prince-like, angelic features showing even in a peaceful slumber.
Lim Jaebeom can’t look away from this beautiful creature. Taking in the sleeping beauty with his chest rising and falling softly. His dark hair looking just as soft as some strands that had fallen on the side of his face. His plump, kissable lips are slightly parted to let out little puffs of air as long eyelashes flutter from the dream he must be having.
The male has his other arm laying across his tummy of an expensive outfit that suited him well. Showing off his tiny frame and curves as well as the muscles that are also hidden underneath as Jaebum sees the top slipping up a bit to reveal a very toned stomach.
“Wow...beautiful…” Jaebum can’t help but comment.
As if on cue, the male moves in his sleep a bit and turns more toward the couch to face him. His long slender neck in view with the collar wrapped around.
Oh, he’s an omega!
That would explain the sweet smell he picked up on.
Jaebum still can’t look away as his hands twitch to touch and wanting to capture such beauty in this moment---
“Didn’t they teach you that it’s rude to stare?”
Jaebum’s eyes go wide as the omega says this while opening his own eyes. And now the alpha finds himself getting lost in the bright blue.
Both just stare as the omega was not expecting to find a damn sexy and fine man watching from above. If anything, he thought it was some random creep but to his amazement, it was someone just his type.
And I’m talking about twice his size, taller, and sharp handsome features that make you want to drop your panties. But it’s those wild and passionate eyes that draw the omega right in and keep him locked on.
“Mmm, on second thought, come closer,” the omega says while biting his lip cause hot damn!
The omega even openly looks from what he can see with the couch in the way but the alpha looks fit too and could probably manhandle him into any position he wanted while dicking him down--
“Excuse me?” Jaebum asks in his native tongue.
This snaps the omega out of his daze as he meets the alpha’s eyes once more and finds the alpha is confused.
“Ah, sorry, I’m used to speaking English when I’m in America,” the omega says in Korean with ease.
Jaebum’s eyes light up, “You speak Korean?”
The omega giggles at his cuteness, “I speak several languages. I was born and raised in America but I’m Taiwanese and spent a good bit of time in Korea.”
So this had to be one of the members then.
The two continue to stare at one another as Jaebum swears he can feel electricity between them. Like something pulling for him to get closer. To touch--
The omega raises an eyebrow when Jaebum reaches his hand out suddenly before stopping near his cheek and becomes a flustered mess,
“Ah-um-shit...I...I’m…”
The omega smirks while throwing him a seductive look, “What? You wanna touch?”
The omega then starts moving and Jaebum stumbles back some. The omega pops up against the back of the couch, mere inches from Jaebum. Stretching out his back while gripping the back of the couch to get face to face and entice the alpha more.
It definitely doesn’t help when the omega purrs in delight from hearing Jaebum’s breath hitch before swallowing hard. Seeing how he’s affecting him and it only fuels the fire,
“Do you wanna have some fun, alpha?”
His giggle is so cute and the way he says alpha like sweet honey goes right to Jaebum’s cock.
Thump
Thump
Thump
Jaebum finds himself becoming so flustered and ready to cave as the omega leans up more, lips about to brush when suddenly---
“Yien! What do you think you’re doing?!”
The omega reacts to the spoken Chinese and pulls away to look over Jaebum’s shoulder to find Jackson standing there with a stern look on his face.
“Gaga!” The omega lights up with delight before making grabby hands.
Jaebum watches as Jackson strides forth and easily picks the omega up in his arms.
“Mark, you can’t be teasing him like that!”
Mark giggles playfully as he nuzzles against the alpha sweetly while koala hugging him. Jackson can’t help but snort as Mark showers him in love,
“Ah, someone’s been wanting to be pampered I see,” Jackson ends up cooing.
“Please,” Mark begs just as sweetly.
Meanwhile, Jaebum stands there in shock at the lovey dovey scene before him. Of how Jackson touches Mark’s face with such love and care. Even going as far to pressing a kiss to Mark’s forehead and hearing the omega keen at it.
Um…maybe he should go--
“Jacks, who is that?” Mark points right at him then and stops him in his tracks.
“Well, if you would’ve told me you were coming over, I would’ve told you sooner but he’s the one that Jinyoung asked to let room with me, Lim Jaebeom.”
Mark’s eyes go wide in recognition then before his head whips to look right at Jaebum.
This was Jinyoung’s younger brother?! The little dork all grown up?! No way! He looks so different from his child photos!
Mark swears that Jinyoung did this on purpose…
Because Jinyoung knows him too well. Jinyoung also knew that Mark was going over to Jackson’s today and didn’t warn him. And he also knew that Mark was horny as fuck and came over for a booty call dammit!
And it’s not helping that Jaebum keeps staring at him with such a heated gaze.
Lord, help him...Jaebum’s still a virgin too ain’t he?
Pure thoughts, pure thoughts…
He should’ve just gone to Yugyeom’s.
