Secretary Cha was introduced briefly in an extra chapter posted on Patreon. In other places he's just mentioned as his assistant or secretary. Mr. Park's secretary is Mr. Yun. So don't confuse them both. 

Next Morning:

Jimin woke up only when his phone started ringing. Only a few people had this number and only his personal secretary Cha called him at this time of the morning mostly to wake him up. He reached for it blindly from where he left last night, finding it and pressing it to his ears.

"Good morning, Mr. Park. You asked me to wake you at 8am."

"Good morning, Cha. What's my schedule like?"

"We have a briefing in an hour and then a conference call at 9.30 a.m. I'm bringing your suit over." The beta said.

"How long do I have?" He groaned, rolling onto his back and trying to crack his eyes open.

"Fifteen minutes if you wish to stop by your mate's place and thirty minutes if we are heading straight to the office."

Jimin was up instantly. "Make it ten. He's at his friend's place." He jumped out of the bed, hopping on one foot as the sheet tangled with his leg and he pulled his feet out of it with difficulty. "And order breakfast for eight and have it sent to his friend Kwan's place. Arrange two cars to drop my mate and his friends at college."

"Noted, sir. Do you have anything specific in mind for breakfast?"

"Cherry Blossom isn't a picky eater. Include pork or beef. Have two dishes and order extra if they want to have some for later."

"Got it, sir. I'm at the gate. Will see you in a few."

He felt so refreshed after a good night's sleep. "Leave the suit in my childhood bedroom and have something to eat. Ask the chef to pack my breakfast. I'll have it in the car."

"Yes, sir."

He inhaled his mother's scent deeper and rushed out of the room only to stumble into his dad, who was pacing the floor looking like a lost puppy. Jimin paused, taking in how his father's face bloomed with hope as soon as he heard the sound of the door opening only to frown when he saw them.

The fifty some years old puppy scowled at the sight of him. "What are you doing there?" His lips jutted out. "She kicked me out and allowed you to sleep in?"

Jimin shrugged, a silly grin taking over his features. "What to do, dad? I'm her pup after all and you...are not."

He leaned forward, giving him a whiff of his mate's scent on him. He knew how petty his mom was for removing her nest and erasing her scent from his dad's room. The alpha noticed that tiny detail when he was cloth surfing in his father's closet earlier.

As expected, his father's nostrils flared and pupils dilated. "That's my favorite pajamas," he grumbled.

"Don't worry, I'll wash it before leaving it in your closet just the way it was," he purposefully teased his father.

"What?" His father's eyes widened. "There's no need for that. You're my son. You can wear anything you want." His expression sobered. "Don't wash it." He looked so troubled and it made Jimin burst into laughter.

He chuckled at his father's reaction. "Okay, dad. I'll leave it unwashed on your bed. Sounds good?"

His father scowled again. "You know what you're doing."

"You're so funny when you're like this." Jimin let out an amused laughter. "I don't get to see you like this every day and I'm not missing my chance."

"I didn't think you'd stay over." He glanced over his shoulder. "She went for her walk?"

"Guess so." Jimin shrugged. "I slept sooooo good." He stretched his arms up with a groan. "Oof that was one of the best night's sleep."

His father's scowl deepened. "I'm in this mess because I was helping you." He waved a furious hand in front of him. "You better sort this out and bring my mate back to my bedroom. I haven't slept a wink in two days while you're cuddling with her like you did nothing wrong," he growled. "Don't make me kick your butt."

Jimin chuckled. "It's not my fault you don't know how to calm your mate," he shot back. "Tried to sneak into her nest? That works all the time for me. She hardly has the heart to kick me out. I'm her favorite pup you see. She goes all mellow and gooey at the sight of me in her nest." He batted his lashes with a mischievous grin, knowing all too well what he was doing.

"I'm her husband. She will kick me right out of it and will go without talking to me for another day just because I got into her nest without her permission," his dad complained. "Yah! Do something and put me back in there with her. My wolf is going nuts and you're rubbing her scent in my nose purposefully. I'm going crazy that it's not me who's wearing that scent."

"Aww, my poor dad. Wanna hug?" Jimin opened his arms wide only for his dad's scowl to deepen.

"Shut up. Are you going to fix it or not?" he demanded, slapping his arms away.

"Of course." Jimin sobered up. "But dad, you see, there's only little I can do to erase her anger. I explained myself and mellowed her anger a bit by staying with her. Now you have to do the remaining work. Bet her anger at you has lessened now I have assured her that we have this in control."

His father looked hopeful. "You think so?" He took a step forward. "She refused the flowers I bought for her and told me to shove it where the sun doesn't shine," he complained. "She wouldn't even look at me in the face."

"Ah..." Jimin leaned forward as if he was going to tell him a secret and his dad leaned too. "You're doing it all wrong, dad."

"Yeah?"

"Mhmm... There's this new Tiktok trend that's going on, where the established couples show how they patch up after a fight. Jungkook bets that it works on every omega," he divulged, sounding serious.

"What is it?" His father's eyes widened and he looked enthusiastic all of a sudden.

"Just approach her, look intimidating because that appeals to the omegas, then grab the back of her neck and push her against the wall. Once you're sure she isn't going to kick your gronk-nuks* kiss her."

"Oh." His dad looked thoughtful.

Just as Jimin leaned closer one more time, they heard footsteps approaching and Jimin winked at his father. "All the best, dad. Go make her yours." He blew a kiss at him and flew down the hall.

He greeted his mother on the way and told her that he was running late and rushed past her only to back track and see what was actually happening.

His dad was waiting for her in the middle of the hallway that led to her room, looking tall and imposing. Okay. It looks good so far. But his mom just glared at him and tried to brush past him. However, his dad suddenly pushed her against the wall.

"No. no. no," he whisper-yelled, pulling his hair. "You're doing it all wrong."

Jimin face palmed because there was nothing romantic about how he did it. Instead of looking her into the eye and backing her to the wall, the old man just bulldozed into her, pressing her sideways to the wall, earning a startled yelp from his mother.

"I got you. You can't run now," he heard his father say.

If that wasn't enough, he grabbed the back of her neck, pushing her against the wall just like those cops do with their criminals. "Oh, God!" he groaned, intertwining both his hands on top of his head. "There's no saving you now." He grimaced just as his startled mother started yelling at his father. "Oops. You're on your own in this one." He back-pedaled; disappearing from the scene and the chaos he stirred in his wake.

Jimin showed up at Kwan's place on time. His time was limited but he couldn't go a day without seeing his Cherry Blossom. Jungkook met him in the staircase, away from curious eyes.

The alpha was excited to be reunited with him after a long day. He stared into the omega's eyes, grabbing him by the back of his neck and pulling him against his chest. Jungkook's breath hitched as his back hit the wall.

Jimin hitched one of Jungkook's legs around his waist and kissed him senseless before proceeding to scent him until he was satisfied. The omega was panting with beads of sweat coating his upper lip by the time Jimin pulled back.

"Be ready in the evening, sweetheart. Alpha is going to eat you out until you pass out."

Jungkook's eyes widened and a beautiful shade of pink coated his features. He swatted at the alpha's chest. "Alpha..." he scolded, glancing around them. "Someone could hear us."

But Jimin just laughed. "Don't care. As far as I'm concerned you're mine and I'm yours."

Jungkook huffed. "You didn't even tell me how it went."

"Good," the alpha said, caressing the omega's soft cheeks. "Mom is a reasonable person. She understood I'm serious about you. That's all that matters. We talked for a long time; I came clean to her and explained everything. And then I slept in her nest."

Jungkook visibly relaxed. "That's good."

"How was your night?" Jimin pushed a few strands of hair behind his ears, watching it falling over his ears again.

"Good." The omega smiled. "We watched an entire series and slept late. It's okay because we have late classes today and this happens only once a month so it's special for us."

Jimin grinned. "Sounds like a great night. Did your friends enjoy the snacks?"

"They did," Jungkook confirmed.

Jimin's phone rang and he cursed. "I gotta run, baby. My day is packed but I promise to come home and spend the rest of the evening with you."

"Do you want me to go over?" Jungkook asked. "My classes end early today and I got nothing else to do."

"If that's not a trouble." Jimin pecked his lips. "I'd love you in my bed." He brushed their noses together. "How about you make a beautiful nest for the alpha, hmm? Blankets and pillows are in the closet. Taehyung send me some new stuff the other day and told me it's from his nesting collections."

Jungkook's eyes widened. The alpha understood how important and significant this action was. By inviting him to build a nest in his bed, he was also making his intent clear. He wanted to build a family with the omega.

The omega nodded and his scent sweetened. Still he looked doubtful. "I-I can do that?"

"You can do anything you want, Cherry Blossom. It's all yours." Jimin kissed him just to get his point across.

"Okay." Jungkook sniffed, looking emotional.

"I'll be back before you know it. Eat something before going to classes, okay?" He kissed his nose.

"Okay. My friends say you spoil all of us." He sniffed, wiping his nose as if he didn't want to cry in front of the alpha.

Jimin released calming pheromones. "As I should. Take care, baby. I wish I can stay longer, but I'm already ten minutes late."

"What's stopping you?" Jungkook teased.

"You," Jimin answered without hesitation. "You, my Cherry Blossom. Only you."

"Cheesy." Jungkook chuckled and gently pushed him away. "Go to work. I don't want you to drive wrecklessly just because you were late."

"Yep. Got it." Jimin pulled back half-heartedly. "Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."
