"Whom are these for?" Jihyun asked Jimin as he saw his older brother carrying cold gel packets, lots of chocolates, and snacks.

"Supplies for Jungkook. His heat is due soon, Aegi."

Jihyun grimaced, thinking the omega would defile his house with his filth. He somehow maintained his semblance, an outer shell, and smiled while nodding, seeing Jimin walk upstairs and then back to his car to bring blankets, a few herbs, and more snacks.

He has been waiting to hear from his contractor, but so far, he was still waiting. Who came inside the house next sent the young alpha swindling in disgust. There was a man in his late forties, and he wore extremely ordinary clothes, khaki pants, an untucked white plain shirt with open-toe black sandals. "Who are you?" He asked. 

"I am-"

"Mr. Jeon," Jimin walked past Jihyun towards the door where Jungkook's father stood. "I am Park Jimin." He bowed and reached for the man's palms to hold them and keep holding them for a few seconds to make sure that the man was doing okay after travel. When Jimin had gotten in touch with him a few days ago, he came to learn that Mr. Jeon had a condition called Ataxia, a movement disorder where it was sometimes difficult for him to carry even a glass of water as his hands would shake vigorously. But with the proper medical intervention, he seemed to be doing fine.

"I know, son," the old man smiled, his eyes crinkling around his nose and Jimin admired, witnessing how his omega got the features, beautiful ones. 

"Jungkook is in his room. Please come," he ushered the man inside the house and made him settle in the living room while Jihyun stared wide-eyed. No way this was happening. The idea that Jimin was so involved with Jungkook that he might end up mating him and marrying him scared Jihyun. 

"Aegi," Jimin called softly. "Go call Mom and Dad and send someone with water."

The younger alpha turned reluctantly and left.

"Please make yourself at home, Mr. Jeon. I hope you didn't have any trouble during the travel."

Mr. Jeon looked stunned for a few moments to see such a humble man, even if he was among one of the richest people in not only Busan but the whole of South Korea. "You have arranged everything, son. I hardly felt I was traveling." He smiled. 

"I am glad," Jimin reached for his hands again and his gaze averted to see his parents making their way to the living room. "I'll go get Jungkook." He stood up.

When he had invited him here, introducing himself and informing him that he was an alpha, who was very much interested in his son, Mr. Jeon couldn't believe it. He has hardly had Jungkook visiting him over the years and he missed his son, so the idea of having an alpha for his son, who was also based in Busan, made Mr. Jeon think that this could be a way to suffuse his son at his birthplace, where he could see him more often than not. 

Jimin knocked at the door and Jungkook looked up at the alpha from bed, his voice came out strangled as if he was sleepy. "Doll, we are going out. Get ready."

"Now?" Jungkook asked. 

"Why not? It's important, so dress up."

The omega looked unsure. Jimin never asked him to dress up, even if he took him out on a date, which was unfortunately only once, as the man was busy running the newly acquired hotel. They mostly spent time at Jimin's office in the hotel or his bungalow, watching movies and playing Uno. "I didn't bring many clothes," Jungkook blinked, thinking as he looked up at the ceiling to remember what he had packed. 

Jimin regretted not buying the omega a suit when he had a chance. "It's okay. I'll search for something from my clothes." He walked to his walk-in closet and found a black blazer that he had never worn and a nice blue shirt, which he did wear a few times. He smiled, thinking Jungkook would look cute in them.

When he returned, he found the omega bent over with his ass poking in the air as he picked the pants from his bag on the floor and wore them quickly. If Jimin wasn't intending to ask for blessings from his father for their engagement, he would stop everything and show Jungkook a good time. His grunt caused Jungkook to grin and turn around. "What's the matter?" He asked, still grinning. 

Jimin leaned against the closet door, looking up at the omega up and down. "You are being naughty, baby."

"Am I?" The omega now pulled his shirt right off his body. With the pants' button still undone, he looked worth ravishing a hundred times. "Then why don't we get in bed and you teach me how to be a good boy... Daddy."

Jimin's brows raised quickly and fell down before he gulped and stood straight, realizing something. "Your daddy is downstairs," he said and hoisted the blazer for Jungkook to catch. "Come down quick. We need to have some important discussion."

Jungkook would have thought that Jimin was joking, but when he mentioned the 'important discussion,' the omega couldn't help the horror, remembering what Taehyung joked about. 

❣

Jihyun never attempted to talk to Jungkook, and it was the same situation for Jungkook too as he was walking past Jihyun on the stairs, but his boyfriend's younger brother was the least of his worries right now.

He was absolutely speechless, nervous, and terrified, pondering if his father was really there. He rushed and when he reached the living room, he found his father and Jimin's parents sitting together, laughing and talking. "Appa," the 23-year-old said, his eyes turning misty with the emotions that were coming over him. "What are you doing here?" He reached over, hugging the man quickly.

When he was pulled back by his father to just look at his face, the omega spotted Jimin also sitting near him. "I have missed you, son. You don't come to see your old man, so I decided I'd go to you."

There was tension in the air that everyone could feel, and it was probably because of how disgruntled Jungkook looked. No one could understand why.

After giving a few minutes of privacy to the father and son, Jimin decided he wasn't going to wait for long. The whole family reunited once again in the living room and Jungkook kept looking at Jimin as if reaching out silently, trying to figure out things, and also feeling scared shitless. 

"Jungkook," Jimin cleared his throat, started walking near him, and then sat on his knees in front of him. 

Jungkook shook his head a little, eyes going liquid with tears forming in them. "I know it's soon, but I know I am in love with you. With your father here with his blessings, I wanted to ask you if you would be my omega, my mate?"

"I..." Jungkook opened his mouth, everything around him was blotchy as he heard his heart in his ears. "Need some time to think about it."

Jimin nodded, lips pressing together as he withdrew his hand that was holding a ring. It was a lot of pressure on omega and Jimin knew that. Bringing him here to live with his family, inviting his father over, and then this, all of it was done without Jungkook's knowledge and Jimin had a good reason for it. He was risking his chance, but he had to.  

Everyone in the room was shell-shocked, and if Jihyun waited and stayed, he would be too, also a hell lot happier, but the thing was, Jimin understood. He grabbed Jungkook's palm, his thumb gently sliding over his knuckles. "You mean the world to me, baby. And I'll give you the world, protect you from everything. I know it's sudden, but you take your time. I'll always be here."

Jungkook nodded, the tears now escaping his eyes as he stood up and walked, no, ran straight to the bedroom. 

"Jimin," Mr. Park squeezed his son's shoulder, and the latter smiled. 

"Please stay with Mr. Jeon," Jimin said, and seeing his father nod with a smile, he rushed after Jungkook. 

The moment he stepped inside, he saw Jungkook about to take his heat-subsiding tablets. Jimin grabbed his wrist in an iron-like grip. "What are you doing?" He roared.

"I need these, Hyung." Jungkook tried desperately to pull his hand back, but the alpha's eyes had turned yellow as he grabbed tighter. 

"Not now, you don't," he drawled, "you are already in heat!"

Jungkook knew the slick was already coming down his rear and his back was aching, but he hoped that by some miraculous means, the pills would stop them. It was hopeless now as he let go of the bottle that Jimin had no clue he was carrying, even after having many discussions in the past weeks that how these were slow poison for the omegas.

Jimin sauntered off to the toilet and flushed the whole dose down it before rushing back to Jungkook. "Let me help you tonight, doll. Forget what happened. If that's what you want, I won't bring it up again." His eyes mellowed down as he waited for Jungkook to deliver his consent.

"Hyung," the omega whimpered, grabbing his abdomen. "Now. Do it now."
