Chapter 67

Jimin uncrossed his legs for the fourth time that evening, he leaned back on the now uncomfortable velvet couch on the lobby, his eyes never leaving the front door. He was starting to think he should have called, as opposed to arriving unannounced, or his lame idea of a surprise, which by the way he didn't know if Yoongi would like. I mean, what if he was out on a serious job, or he wasn't even in town. Or what if he brought someone home, a friend, maybe that hot friend of his from the club who Jimin was sure was not just a buddy. They looked too good together to be just friends.

He knew he was getting in his head again with all these assumptions about Yoongi, but he couldn't help it, he had travelled all this way to Seoul to see him. Or like he liked to think; Thank him. He took in a deep shaky breath, willing himself calm as he spotted the mop of blond entering through the doors. Yoongi was in  simple dark ripped jeans, his muscular thighs showing through rips. Jimin tried not to look at that, or at his chest that was covered in a nice button up, stylishly tucked into his jeans. He resorted to his face instead, that was set in an unusual smile, eyes nowhere in particular as he walked in.

Yoongi wasn't a particularly cheery type of person, in fact Jimin could count with fingers the number of times he had seen the older with a smile like that. So it made him wonder just what could have made the true blood that happy. Or maybe who.

He didn't exactly know how to approach as Yoongi passed the lobby for the elevator, he hadn't actually thought about how and what he wanted to say to him, let alone how to approach him. So quickly he followed him to the elevator door, taking a moment to inhale his musky scent, mixed with the weird, but pleasant scent of caramel, or something much lighter, before making his presence know by clearing his throat beside the older.

Yoongi looked beside him, his happy expression changing to a surprised one, before an even bigger smile made a way to his face.  "Jimin?"

"Heeey." The omega joked, opening his arms for a hug, just as Yoongi brought out his hand for a hand shake. They got into an awkward fit, where they were confused as to what mode of greeting to use. They weren't that close for skin ship, but they weren't two strangers on the road either that would be best suited with a mere shake. They were right in the middle, the confused stage.

"Let's just keep the greeting." Jimin suggested with an embarrassed smile, "Good idea." Yoongi added just as the elevator doors dinged. "Umm, I am sorry, I shouldn't have ambushed you like this, I saw you walk in and I was around here so I just followed to say hi, you must be busy, maybe we could talk some other time, sorry for- "

"Jimin." Yoongi cut off his rumbling with that deep voice of his, making the omega take a calming breath, which constituted of his musky scent, and that oddly pleasant foreign scent. "Sorry. Am just-"

"You wanna come up to my apartment. Since your already here that is." Yoongi asked hopefully, wedging a hand between the closing  elevator door, "I am not sure, you must be busy, and I don't want to impose on you." Jimin wasn't sure why he was sabotaging himself with this, he had waited almost an hour for Yoongi, and now he was chickening out. "I am not busy, if you don't want to come to my apartment, would you rather go out in a cafe or something instead?" Yoongi asked, worried the omega might be uncomfortable in his house with the two of them alone. Although they had stayed for long hours of night before, for work that is. This was different.

"Oh no it's not that, we could go up if it's alright, besides, it looks like it going to pour soon." Jimin said regaining his composure. Yoongi stared at him for a second longer, taking in the nicely styled black hair, and his outfit that particularly showed his unmarked neck, before leading him to the elevators.

"I didn't know you were back, the last time we talked you said you would be staying in Busan a while longer." Yoongi said recalling the phone call from three weeks ago. They talked occasionally, just checking in with each other, the last time being three weeks ago when Jimin had called in.

"I know, but dad and I thought we would visit, just for fun for a few days."

"Oh, he came along?" Yoongi asked trying to ignore the mention of the time duration in the other's sentence. Only for a few days?

"Yeah, we arrived two days ago, toured the city and showed him everything he missed from Seoul. Now he is having a power nap." Jimin smiled along as he talked about his dad, eyes set into happy crescents that Yoongi had missed. He too smiled, walking out of the elevator into the hallway to his apartment. "Must have been fun." He muttered hearing Jimin's footsteps behind him, following along. "It was. You seem to have been having fun as well."

"How do you mean?" Yoongi asked, stopping at his apartment door before turning around to meet Jimin. He was genuinely intrigued with why the younger would think that. Jimin only smiled with a scoff, narrowing his eyes at Yoongi, like the alpha was lying about not knowing why.

"What?" Yoongi laughed when the other wouldn't tell him. "You literally walked into this building with the biggest smile I have ever seen, I could see your gums from that far." Jimin said, motioning to the end of the hall, a happy laugh bubbling from his chest when he saw the hue that covered the alpha's cheeks.

Yoongi couldn't help blush, that said smile threatening to take over his mouth as he thought of why in the first place. He turned around, jabbing his keys into the hole before opening the door.

"My brother had a baby today."

He said as he held open the door for Jimin, the younger halting in his steps halfway through the doorway, he stood face to face with Yoongi, incredibly close to him. "Seokjin?" The younger asked, eyes widening at the news. "Yes, he had a baby girl this evening." Yoongi shared happily, not able to contain himself.

"Woah, I forgot about that, he must be really happy." Jimin said as he made a distance between them, hoping out of his shoes and into the apartment. Yoongi followed, closing the door behind him. "He is. It's impossible not to be, she is just....so beautiful, small, with round cheeks. And smells of caramel, and other things that babies smell like I guess." He described absentmindedly, nose crunching up in search of that scent. He looked up as silence ensued, finding Jimin with a raised eyebrow.

"Look who's soft today. I didn't know you liked babies." Jimin teased. Yoongi playfully groaned, walking further into the room to put his keys on the counter. "I only like this one." He defended before urging the other to get comfortable on the stools.

This building was high end, and so was Yoongi's apartment as Jimin sat in it. It was chic, with good decor, and huge ass windows that gave an incredible view of the city at a night like this. A huge living room sat the entrance, joined to the open kitchen by the end, where they were currently sitting. "Juice?"

"Coffee please." Jimin requested instead as he saw the other hold up a glass and a mug. "So, how long are you in Seoul." Yoongi asked as he started the coffee maker. Jimin sighing loudly in response. "Am not really sure. Dad and I only came for a little adventure, and so I could finalize a few things I left pending." Yoongi hummed along to alert the other he was listening.

"I don't really have a lot here anymore. I don't have a job, not a lot of friends or people who need me here, so I see no reason to be lugging behind." Jimin wanted to add that unless otherwise, or unless he had a reason to stay, then he would. Secretly, he wanted to leave his options open, even when he shouldn't have.

"So your gonna go back to Busan?" Yoongi asked facing him, he couldn't help the slight fear that slipped through his voice, or his jaw from tightening as he watched the younger fiddling with his fingers. "I guess. Dad has everything in Busan, and he means everything to me, if I don't have anything here I think I am going to move there with him permanently."  Yoongi nodded in understanding, turning around to work the coffee machine before pouring the younger some into a mug.

He didn't like sound of that, of Jimin going from him permanently. Not that Busan wasn't a place he couldn't reach, it's just...the distance, not practically, but more of the nature. It meant being apart. He picked up the mug, going round the counter to give it to Jimin. The younger thanked him with a smile, blowing on the hot beverage before bringing it to his lips.

"Do you want to go permanently?" Yoongi asked, now stood in front of the sitting omega. Jimin tilted his head a bit, placing his mug down temporarily. "These past few months I have been in Busan, have been the best days of my life. Having my dad with me is the best thing that has happened to me in a decade or so..." Jimin said, eyes shining as he thought about his dad.

"I feel like a ten year old again, doing everything with him now. I follow him to the farm, help with washing his car, steal his food. Sometimes I go to his room whenever I have a nightmare. He is easily the best thing that has ever occurred in my life. I am happy. For the first time in years, I feel like I am living again. It still feels surreal to me honestly, so yeah, I want to be with my dad forever." He said with a smile.

Jimin didn't think he would ever be happy like this, at times he would stay awake, get in his head and fear that it would be taken from him. He didn't want to loose it. Ever. "Am glad you found something your heart yearns for. I am glad your happy." Yoongi said sincerely, spotting a surprised look as Jimin jumped off his stool, taking Yoongi's coffee from his hand and placing it on the counter.

The younger placed his hands on Yoongi's shoulder, holding his gaze with his serious one. "None of it would have happened without you..." Yoongi didn't have a chance to say anything as Jimin wrapped hands around his neck and brought him into a bone crushing hug.

"Thank you, so much. Thank you for coming into my life, thank you for staying through everything that occurred, and thank you for finding my dad for me." He mumbled on the alpha's neck. Yoongi slowly wrapped his hands around the younger, hugging him back. "I told you deserve every good thing Jimin. Your a strong person, you have endured everything thrown your away, and now you deserve to be happy. Even the gods know that." Yoongi said back, pulling the younger back when he heard sniffling.

"Hey, don't cry." Yoongi awkwardly said, not particularly familiar with comforting people. He brought a hand up, wiping the other's wet cheeks with his thumb. "Don't worry, they are happy tears." Jimin said with a small laugh, hands still holding the alpha's neck. "Yeah, soft hours, forgot." Yoongi joked, thumbs still pressing onto the Omega's cheeks. They were still pressed together, faces incredibly close.

First time he was having the younger in his arms like this, outside work that is. Jimin's eyes were trained on his, before they dipped lower, to what Yoongi assumed was his lips. He always knew there was an attraction between them, plus the weird force or whatever that kept pushing them together, but neither of them had acted on their desires. So many things to factor from both of their sides.

But now, it was just the two of them, just two people attracted to each other, well he hoped Jimin was attracted to him as well. Anyway, there was nothing stopping them, no work relations or worry, so he let his own thumb brush the Omega's lips, to which Jimin purred softly, eyes meeting his in a silent agreement.

Yoongi titled his head, leaning in with every intention to kiss him, but the other spoke, a murmur, barely above a whisper. "Am scared." He had said. Yoongi raised his eyes to look at the Omega's closed ones, his still inviting lips quivering with audible breaths.

"Of what, what are you scared of, tell me, I'll protect you." Yoongi said back, worry for the omega taking over him, but Jimin only smiled, eyes opening to form crescents that sparkled with tears. His hands moved from the alpha's shoulder, to hold at Yoongi's hands that were resting on either side of his head. "You can't, not from this one." Jimin smiled again, confusing the alpha.

There eyes locked, Yoongi urging him to speak to him, "Oh I wish there was a way to tell. I wish people could just read it on people's forehead, or eyes, or anything, to know if someone was meant for them." Jimin said, eyes roaming Yoongi's features.
"I wish there was a way to know if someone was the one, without all the fear, the struggle, the heartbreaks and the uncertainty." Jimin said once more, his owns thumbs caressing Yoongi's hands, that were cradling his head.

He looked away for a second, gathering his thoughts before he looked back at the alpha. "I like you. I like you a lot Yoongi. I feel things for you that I haven't felt ever in my life. You bring out these things out of me that I don't know how to deal with, and they scare me because they are good things, they are the best things, I am the best version of myself when I am with you..." He confessed without a fear, without shying away.

"But I can't Yoongi. I can't go on  journey of not knowing once again, I can't stay with the uncertainty that comes with dating and relationships, because every time I have given myself away, heart or body, I end up in pieces, I end broken. I have been so desperate for love, that I have always regarded any man that came into my life as the one, but all of them wanted different things from me, they always took something and went away, a piece of me each time." He paused looking at the alpha, he expected any reaction when he decided to confess his deepest thoughts to the alpha, but Yoongi just held that soft look from earlier, thumbs still rubbing his cheeks.

"Now I have my dad, he is giving me the love that I have craved for so long in my life, and it makes me feel like I don't have to search anymore, I don't need to date, or give myself to the terrifying unknown just to have someone by my side. I am done chasing, dating and worrying. I can't go through that anymore if it won't lead me anywhere."

When that was true, Jimin knew there was a gap right there in his heart that even his dad couldn't fill. There was just apart of you that would remain incomplete, especially if you wanted, and knew someone who could complete you, even with the mere sight of them. You would be satisfied, but not particularly contented without them. But he was willing to leave with that incomplete part of him if it meant he had to take another long journey to a relationship that he didn't know how would end.

Yoongi understood so too, he could see how with everything Jimin had gone through in life he wouldn't want to be with someone, or try to be with someone. Dating and courting was just something he couldn't do anymore because of how many times he had been wounded by the people who claimed to love him. So it was natural that he would be contented by the only true love, which came from a parent. But Yoongi also couldn't help think he was on the same boat.

"Well that makes two of us I guess. I like you a lot too Jimin. But I have given up on love, I am rough, and hotheaded. I have given up on the idea of keeping a mate because I scare them away with my nature. But you, you don't run from me, if anything you merge our us together every time. I feel these things for you as well, things I haven't felt for any human before..." He paused, looking at Jimin who let a tear follow.

The omega had a longing gaze to him, but he wiped his eyes, moving from Yoongi's embrace and turning to face the counter instead, he gripped tightly, voice shaking as he spoke. "You say that now, all that you've read in my file."

"Don't do that." Yoongi objected as the omega brought up the past, "I have to, all those scars you know about, some of them you can't just see them with your naked eye... " "Then show me however possible." Yoongi begged taking him into his arms once more.

"I can't, I am scared." Jimin whispered back, crying. His emotional torture could not be compared to any, it was heavy, and it weighed on him every day. He didn't want to shoulder that with Yoongi, he didn't think the alpha could even take it. "I am messed up Yoongi. I am broken and quiet frankly a lost cause. Loving you, for me would be a privilege, I would be honored to ever be with someone like you, someone as brave as you are, but you for me...it would be nothing but torture..."

It made it even worse that Yoongi knew about his past, Jimin felt like a mere object in front of him, even when the alpha had done everything to never make him feel that way. Jimin couldn't help feel like the other ought to reject him with that history of his on his back, it was sad. "...I like you too much to want you end up with me, I am tainted and with blemish, you can't -"

Jimin's words were cut by a pair of lips pressing on his own, they captured his strongly, forcing him to hold his breath. Soft and loving just like he thought they would be. "Don't say that, don't say those things." Yoongi scolded when they pulled apart, his lips hovering over the Omega's pink smitten ones as he spoke.

"You don't know me either so don't assume. You don't know what loving you for me would be like, so don't assume." Yoongi paused to look into his teary eyes, Jimin still not over the fact that the alpha had just kissed him. "I know you've been to hell and back with your life, and I could never comprehend the scars that those fires of left you with, both physically and emotionally, but you need to remember that that is your past, and we all have one."

"I haven't dreamt of being with anyone like I have with you, I haven't wanted anyone in this life like I want you, and that is just more proof and direction to myself that I need to be with you and no one else. I have my own baggage as well, just as heavy, and loving me would mean you carried those too, not just yours. You think you could ever do that?"

Jimin knew he could, the real question here was if Yoongi could bare both theirs, but the alpha answered, reading his thoughts. "I know I can, all you have to give me is a chance, you have to take that leap of faith your scared of, and most of all you have to trust me." Yoongi stated once more. His lips hovered over Jimin's in question, although he didn't need an answer now, he wanted him to think about it, because it was something huge. If they were getting into this, it was for good, for real. There was no back tracking or chickening out.

So he leaned in once more, kissing him, and pouring all of his emotions, love and thoughts into it. He wanted to let the omega know his side, how sure and certain he was of what he was doing. Jimin kissed back through his tears, savouring the taste of the other. He could think of everything later, right now it was just Yoongi, and how he made him feel. He smiled into the kiss as he felt the changes creeping at him, his omega side connecting with him once more. Just from Yoongi kissing him alone.

Oh yeah, he was  definitely the right one.
