Work Text:
Yoongi was cleaning up his nail station after finishing his last clients nails, he hummed happily to the music that was playing in the background. After his station was cleaned, he got the regular black nail polish out ready for his next client and then deciding to get a few other colours just in case he actually managed to get his next client to change it up a bit, it was unlikely he would but Yoongi could at least try.
His next client was always one of his favourites to see, Jungkook always came to his nail studio every two weeks, unless he was on tour. Yoongi would always miss their little chats they’d have when Jungkook would come in to have his nails painted, always having them the same black colour. Yoongi liked to think that they were pretty good friends at this point as the two had shared a lot of things about their lives with each other, to the point the Jungkook had given Yoongi his mobile number, which showed that he at least trusted him seeing as Jungkook is a pretty famous rockstar.
There was something Yoongi had always been curious to know about the younger and that was, his secondary gender, Jungkook never had a smell that Yoongi could tell so he must always be wearing scent blockers, because even beta’s had a scent even if it wasn’t as strong as an omega or alpha’s scent, but there was always a scent.
Yoongi hadn’t wanted to pry so he never asked, he respected Jungkook’s privacy after all and it’s not like the younger had much privacy as it was. If Jungkook had or ever wanted Yoongi to know his secondary gender, yoongi is almost sure that he would tell him when he is ready, if he was ever ready to share that if yoongi. Either way it’s not something he would ever bring up, people had their reasons for hiding their secondary genders regardless of what it is. Yoongi understood the one who did hide their secondary gender, it took him a while to completely accept that he is omega, so he wouldn’t judge.
The bell above the door jiggled bringing Yoongi out his thoughts, he stood up from his station a big gummy smile on his face as he saw Jungkook walk through the door “Kookie, how are you?”
Jungkook smiled as he looked over at the nail artist, one of the things he liked about Yoongi was his gummy smile, he wouldn’t be able to explain why he liked it, but Yoongi in general had a way of making him feel relaxed, like he didn’t have to hide part of himself away from everyone. It was honestly a weight taken off his shoulders.
Yoongi had always made him feel safe.
“Hey hyung” Jungkook greeted as he walked over to the station Yoongi was standing next too.
They shared a quick hug, Yoongi being the first to pull away from the hug and gesture for the rockstar to sit down. Which Jungkook did. Yoongi sat himself down and held his hand out for Jungkook to give him his hand so he could get to work “The usual?” Yoongi asked as he eyed Jungkook trying to thing of a new tactic to get the younger to agree to adding a little colour to his usually black painted nails.
Jungkook nodded “Yeah and just the black nail polish hyung”
Yoongi sighed “Not even a tiny bit of colour?” He gestured to the other colours he had picked out “The red would look really good with the black too” Yoongi pouted trying to see if his pout would be enough to convince the other to have a little colour on their nails.
Jungkook eyed the red polish for a while, eyes widening a little as he looked at it, Yoongi was right though, it was a really pretty shade of red and wasn’t too bright either, he looked back up at the nail artist and nodded “Okay fine, I’ll have the red too but maybe only on a few nails, like to make a pattern or something with it”
Yoongi grinned excitedly and moved the other colours away and nodded in agreement, he could do that for him “Yes! I’ve been trying for so long to get you to have a colour that’s not black on your nails. This is finally a win for me”
Jungkook giggled at Yoongi, he had been trying to get him to try adding colour to his nails ever since his second time coming into the nail bar. Jungkook mainly agreed as the red wouldn’t give away what his secondary gender is, not that he understood how society could tell what people's secondary gender was based on colours but it had happened to an other omega that had been in a rock band that Jungkook had only meet a few times at award shows. They had had their nails painted a light blue and that had apparently screamed “I’m an omega” and soon after they had left the band they were in, Jungkook had from that moment had been pretty paranoid about doing anything that may give away to the fact that he himself is an omega, something he is still trying to find the right time to tell Yoongi. The nail artist at this point was like his best friend, they texted often and not to mention how Jungkook felt like he could just be himself around the other omega.
Yoongi hummed and looked up from his work and looked at Jungkook “Wait really?”
Jungkook nodded “Yeah, I um, please don’t tell anyone…” he sighed and then bit his lip before speaking again “It’s kinda taboo for an omega to be well, in this industry”
Yoongi studied the rockstar before nodding and then getting back to work on the younger's nails “Yeah I get that. There’s nothing to worry about, I won’t tell anyone…” Yoongi stopped what he was doing and Jungkook instantly started worrying, maybe he shouldn’t have told the nail artist about his secondary gender.
Yoongi grinned as he looked up at the younger “We should meet up when we’re both free and have like an omega day… like we could make a nest at one of our homes and then watch movies and maybe we could do face masks or something.”
Jungkook could see how excited Yoongi seemed to be by the thought of them having what he had dubbed as an ‘omega day’ and it did sound very tempting to the younger, after a moment of thinking the younger nodded “That actually sounds really nice, I’d like that. I don’t really get to do things like that and it’ll be really nice being around another omega and not have to hide who I really am”
Yoongi grinned even wider if that was even possible “Yes yes! It’ll be so much fun” the nail artist again got back to work adding some finishing touches “ I promise we’ll have lots of omega days and we cake even bake some cupcakes or cookies”
Jungkook giggled at the older omega, this was nice. Maybe Jungkook really had found the person he could be himself around, he could wait for what these omega days would bring not to mention he could wait to see how their friendship develops over time.
