HAPPY JIMIN DAY!!!

We're almost nearing the end. Thanks for hanging in there :) I'm having so much fun writing this though sometimes it's slow. I'm loving the path it is taking me. Hope you're all enjoying too.

Stay safe and have fun.

Jungkook found Jimin in Kim's family den. Ever since Aunt Kim learned the truth, they'd been spending every waking minute together. As much as he felt left out, he realized Jimin deserved this and more.

Today he was busy instructing their chef with what he wanted to prepare for tonight's dinner. "Did you take note of everything?"

"Yes, Head Omega." The chef bowed. The beta and his family worked for the Jeon family for ages and was one of the important people in his pack. Chef Leo used three food testers before serving it on the dinner table. "Everything will be just as you want." He beamed. "I'll get started right away."

The omega nodded. "Oh, don't forget the chocolate mousse apart from the other desserts. My alpha loves it."

"Of course, Head Omega. You will only get the best."

"Thank you."

Jungkook let his sandalwood scent bloom to let Jimin know of his arrival.

Jimin beamed as soon as he noticed him approaching. "Jungkookie!" He jumped into his arms, scenting him gently with a contented sigh. Fresh roses bloomed around him. The others slowly excused themselves, bowing at him on their way out.

"Looks like you're preparing a feast to impress your father in law."

Jimin's smile brightened. "It's our first dinner as a family." He exhaled, hugging his waist. "How did it go?"

The omega searched his eyes worriedly and Jungkook assured him with a smile. He kissed the tip of his nose. "It was good. We talked. I told him it isn't too late to make it up to me and be there for his grandchildren when it's time."

Red stained Jimin's cheeks and he briefly averted his gaze. His blooming scent, however, told Jungkook the omega appreciated the idea of children. "Is he staying? He isn't leaving, is he?" he asked.

Jungkook caressed his hair, inhaling his calming fragrance. "He's staying for now," he replied. "Your father in law even brought us a mating gift."

Jimin pulled back with a scowl. "Define this gift." He folded his hands across his chest. "From my past experience, our definition of gifts seems to differ."

The alpha chuckled. Perhaps it was his excited scent that gave him up, but his mate has always been clever. "The doctor and midwife who assisted your mother with the delivery."

The omega scoffed. "Knew it." He stepped back with a grunt. "Mom and dad left earlier in a hurry. I should have known something was up."

Beside him Taehyung covered his mouth to hide his laughter. "Yoongi hyung hasn't even checked his phone since we returned. I thought he was still taking care of stuff with Jin hyung. So this is what keeping him busy. Should have known something is up."

Jungkook shrugged.

"Like father, like son." Jimin turned. Taehyung covered his mouth with a hand to hide his smile.

"Hey, this time it's your dad who is leading the show. I just found out. He was the one who kept updating my dad."

"Fine." Jimin exhaled. "They're all the same. Point taken. Where to? Dungeons?"

Jungkook smiled. His wolf was hopping in his chest impatiently. He couldn't wait to break the two and get his answers. He already sent Seokjin and Yoongi to prepare ahead.

"Thought you'd wanna be included because it's about you. You can stay here if you don't want to." The alpha knew Jimin wanted to know the progress. Though he didn't speak out loud, it was something that was bothering him deeply.

"Alright. I won't be able to rest easily if I don't get the answers." Jimin squared his shoulders. "Let's go."

He brushed past Jungkook and the alpha glanced at Taehyung who shrugged in response. "I'm not missing the fun. Maybe I should kick someone's ass for not telling me sooner."

"Leave me out of it," Jungkook grumbled. "I came as soon as I knew. You can kick your boyfriend's perky ass as much as you want."

"He's not my boyfriend," Taehyung griped.

Jungkook scrunched his nose. "The hickeys on your neck say something else."

"Yeah. Whatever." Taehyung walked past him, purposefully bumping into his shoulders and Jungkook followed with a shake of his head.

"Don't think I didn't notice his neck this morning," he called after him. "Your grumpy alpha didn't even bother to button the top buttons of his shirt this morning."

"He's not my alpha."

"Grumpy. You forgot to add grumpy."

"Fuck you."

Jungkook's lips twitched. "Jimin doesn't like sharing."

Taehyung paused to throw him a stinky eye. "He's not my grumpy alpha." He whirled around and walked away.

"Yeah, sure."

"Please no more." The doctor's cries echoed around them. "We didn't do anything."

"You announced the two omega sons were dead," Seokjin growled. "If that's true, then explain how one of the omegas is alive. Where is my other brother? What did you do to him? Who told you to do this?"

"W-What? It's impossible. Both children were dead," the doctor claimed. "I delivered them. They were born dead."

"Then how is he here? You better talk," Daehyun bellowed. "I'll take pleasure in plucking each one of your nails before breaking your bones one by one. Where is my son? What did you do to him?"

"I don't know. I swear," the doctor cried. "Please...the babies weren't breathing. They were already dead."

"Then explain this." Daehyun grabbed the back of his neck and forced him to face Jimin. "That's one of my little moons. He's alive and breathing." He then forced him to face him. "Where is my other son?"

"I'm telling the truth. I didn't lie."

The room was crowded and the stench of blood was overwhelming. Fear and anxiety was thick in the atmosphere. It churned Jimin's belly but he covered his nose and held on. This was the man who took him away from his parents or he aided whoever wanted to do that.

"What about you?" Hoseok approached the midwife. The woman shook life a leaf. "We won't spare you just because you're a woman. We practice equality in Jeon household."

"Start talking if you don't want to go through that," Yoongi said, cracking his knuckles. "We checked the hospital records and spoke to the staff that was on duty that day. You were there throughout the labor. You took care of the babies. What do you know?"

"I don't know anything," the woman cried. "He says the truth. The babies were dead. I saw it with my own eyes. I cleaned them and wrapped them. "

"Yet, one of the dead baby is right here," Seokjin said. "Who told you to lie to my mom and dad? Why did you do it?"

"We aren't lying," the midwife pleaded again. "Please...there is some misunderstanding. We would never do that. We were devastated to lose the two babies that day."

"Shin Sujin and his girlfriend Kim Chaewon are on a dinner cruise right now," Yoongi said. He whipped out his phone, clicking on it before turning the screen to the woman. "The said cruise just crossed Statue of Liberty and is now cruising through Ellis Island. They look really happy and so much in love. He even got a ring and planned to propose to her." He pocketed the phone. "All it would take is a snap of our fingers to end their romantic date. There will not be a proposal or a wedding for that matter. How could it happen when we would put a bullet straight through Shin Sujin's heart?"

Jimin's hand clenched around Taehyung's hand. Jungkook was standing little to the front, his towering figure hid Jimin from other's view but it didn't stop from seeing what was happening here. The doctor looked worse while the midwife didn't have a single scratch on her.

"No!" The woman shook her head. "Please...spare him. He knows nothing."

"He knows nothing and you know nothing," Hoseok mumbled. "Both are useless. Do you know what we do to useless people?"

Yoongi pulled his phone out again. He dialed a number and put it on speaker mode. "What is Shin Sujin doing now?"

"Target just finished eating. He is getting ready to propose. I see them bringing the cake."

"Hmm..." Yoongi glanced at the woman whose face was filled with horror. "Kill him."

"No!" the midwife screamed.

"What about the girl?"

"I'll leave that to you." He smiled. "I don't care what you guys do with her." He ended the call.

"No! Call him. Tell him to stop." She thrashed against the restraints that held her back. "My baby. Let him go! You fucking bastard! Let my son go!!!"

"Too late. Maybe you should have taken me seriously when I asked you earlier." Yoongi moved to the doctor. "Kim Gae-Eun, is it? She's currently on her way home after work." His smile was vicious. "My men tell me that she's pregnant."

Jimin tensed and tugged at Taehyung's hand. His brother shook his head, gesturing to him to keep quiet. The midwife continued to cry. Hoseok slapped a duct tape on her mouth, silencing her.

"No. No. No, please. No. Don't do anything. She has conceived after ten years of marriage. Please. Show mercy," the doctor wailed.

"Do you deserve one?" Yoongi questioned. "After what you have done to the two innocent babies of the Jeon family, do you think you deserve to live?"

The doctor cried more and Jimin's heart clenched.

"You have thirty seconds to admit the truth. If not, you will die a slow death, knowing your sins killed your daughter and grandchild," Yoongi continued in a merciless tone.

Jimin felt a lick of fear in his heart, but when he glanced at his mother crying silently in his brother Namjoon's arms, the empathy took a back seat. His mother didn't deserve the pain she went through for twenty-eight years, believing she had lost both children.

"Please..." the doctor begged.

When the thirty seconds passed, Yoongi dialed on his phone again. "Hello—"

"Don't. I'll tell the truth!" The doctor thrashed so hard that the chair toppled and he fell sideways. "I'll tell you everything you want to know."

"Speak!" Jungkook growled.

"It's true that the two omega sons were still born." Yoongi and Hoseok straightened the doctor's chair and the doctor panted. "Mrs. Kim had a tough pregnancy. The children had to be continuously monitored. We didn't think they would make it till the end." The man wheezed. "The omega children were extremely weak. Half way through the pregnancy, they stopped receiving nourishments through her placenta. Only the alpha child was healthy. We tried everything and it didn't work. So I asked her to stay in the hospital."

Jimin swallowed, slanting a glance at his parents and brothers. His heart raced and stomach churned uncomfortably.

"But then a miracle happened. The alpha child began to nourish the omega children."

"We already know this story," Jungkook intervened. "Tell us what we don't know."

The doctor swallowed nervously. "We found out this happened because Mrs. Kim was poisoned."

Several growls echoed in the room.

"Did you tell this to my dad?" Seokjin asked.

The doctor shook his head. Seokjin glanced at Jungkook, who nodded curtly.

"W-We didn't know who or how. So we kept Mrs. Kim at the hospital and monitored her closely. Still, on the day of their birth, the omegas didn't make it." The doctor's breathing grew erratic. "Mr. Kim requested us to take care of them and donate them to the lab for medical students."

"Then how did they survive?" Seokjin caught the doctor's throat.

The old man wheezed and his eyes darted to the midwife.

Seokjin dashed to the midwife and tore the duct tape from her mouth. "Speak."

The woman continued to cry. "My son...you killed my son."

"Your daughter will die next," Seokjin warned. "Speak before we make the call next. Shin Haeun, isn't it?"

"No. No. No. I'll talk. I'll tell you everything," she sobbed, shaking her head vigorously. "I-I was assigned to clean the babies." Her gaze swept around the room. It lingered on Jimin's face longer. "When I was cleaning the second baby, it suddenly started to cry. I was shocked." She glanced at the doctor next. "I went to the doctor with the baby, but...but—"

"But what?" Jungkook growled.

"T-There was a man in his room." The midwife swallowed with wide eyes.

Shin Sang-Hee ran into the doctor's office. "Doctor! Doctor! The baby lives. Kim's omega son is alive." Her chest heaved as she held the baby closer to her chest. "It's a miracle. I was cleaning him and he suddenly woke up."

"Is that so?" A man she didn't notice before turned to face her.

Shin Sang-Hee paused upon noticing the stranger. "Oh, apologies, sir. Doctor, it's an emergency. You need to take a look at the other baby too."

"That won't be necessary." The man in front of her stood. "I'll take it from here."

"What?" Her eyes widened. She turned away when he reached for the baby. "Sir, you can't touch him."

The man laughed and two other men stepped behind her, holding a gun at her head. "I didn't mean to involve you in this. But I really hate blood and violence." He laughed, flashing his yellow teeth.

"Sang-Hee, listen to him. Give him the baby."

"Doctor?"

She felt pain explode from the back of her skull before her world went dark.

"Please...I did nothing," she cried. "When I woke up, the doctor told me they were dangerous men and someone I shouldn't anger. That they would harm my family. He told me if I told anyone they would kill my son and daughter too. T-They were just children and I had no choice. I was afraid."

Seokjin backhanded the doctor. "Talk! Who was he? Who took my brother?"

The doctor whimpered. "He said his name was Choi Yeong-Cheol. I never saw him before that day."

"Liar!" Jungkook growled. "I refuse to believe you didn't know him before. He must have come to you sooner. You knew Mrs. Kim was poisoned yet you hid it from everyone." He grabbed the doctor's hair and tugged forcefully. "How much did he pay you to ruin our family?"

"Please..." the doctor cried. "I d-didn't."

"Lies aren't gonna save your life. If you wrong a Jeon pack member, we retaliate by punishing not only you. We will erase your entire family."

"Please..." he sobbed. "My family doesn't know anything."

Jungkook shook him. "The two omegas were the treasures of the Jeon pack. The first omegas to be born after five generations. It was supposed to be a happy occasion but your greed ruined it."

"I was threatened. I didn't mean to." The doctor shook his head. "I had no choice."

"We would have protected you and your family," Jungkook growled. "Were the Chois more powerful than the Jeon? They were absorbed into our pack when my parents married each other. Now tell me, were you the one who killed my mother too?" He grabbed his collar, almost picking him from the ground along with his chair. "Tell me everything you did."

"It was him," the doctor cried. "It was him. I only gave him access to the ICU. Please..." Jungkook threw him to the ground. "He tried to kill Mrs. Kim so he could incapacitate her mate. But he never left her bedside and they couldn't do anything." His body trembled. "Everyone was distracted with the passing of the two omega children and the security was lax. The Choi family would send someone every day to visit her at the hospital. Mr. Choi too came often so they didn't suspect him. He suffocated her with a pillow that day and made me lie to everyone saying that it was her sickness that killed her."

Jimin clutched his chest.

Jungkook growled. Red bled into his eyes as his wolf surfaced. He hit the doctor with a force that almost sent him hurtling to the floor. But Hoseok caught him and straightened his chair.

"What about the other baby?" Hoseok asked. "Where is he?"

"The other baby didn't make it." The doctor wheezed. "The preserved body must still be in the lab. So only one baby made it."

"What else?"

"Mr. Choi took the baby. H-He said the baby would be useful to him when the time came. So he said he won't harm the baby and took him," he said. "He told me he would kill my family if I told this to anyone. So after Mrs. Jeon died, I panicked and left Seoul with my family."

"Liar. You didn't leave because you panicked. A few months after Mrs. Jeon's death, you both quit your job and took a job in the States," Yoongi piped in. "Additionally you received funds for their education and for you to comfortably settle down there."

"I had no choice. Please believe me. I was forced to obey."

"No," Jungkook said. His fists clenched by his side. "You had a choice. You chose the money and didn't care a bit about that mother or that baby."

Jimin's knee weakened. It could have been avoided. Instead, he was through hell and back and for what? All because of the selfishness of a few people.

"A mother lost her son because of you. And that son grew up on the streets as an orphan while his family was still alive." Seokjin punched the doctor. "My mother suffered through severe depression and my brother was subjected to several horrors." Another punch. "He was alone and scared." Another punch. "All because of your greediness." He panted. "You violated your sacred code of conduct. You don't deserve to call yourself a doctor."

"You lived a comfortable life while my brother suffered and journeyed through hell," Namjoon growled. His mother's sniffles echoed around the room and Namjoon's arms tightened around her. "Jungkook, they don't deserve an ounce of mercy. I demand retribution on behalf of my family."

Jimin sniffled softly in Taehyung's arms.

"You and your family who enjoyed their lives using the money that came through this will pay with everything they got," Jungkook said. "Keep him alive. I want him to see his family lose everything they own. I want him to cry for their misfortune. Then, when they lose everything and have nothing but clothes on their back, you will die with knowledge that you ruined their lives. That your greed caused this." Jungkook turned to Jimin's parents. "They're all yours. Just keep them alive until I have ruined their future." His jaw clenched. "When I'm done, they will be wishing for death."

With that he turned to Jimin. "Come on, my love. Let's leave. You have other important things to take care of."

Jimin nodded, wordlessly walking into his embrace. Jungkook lifted him bridal style and he curled against his chest. They were silent as he carried him through the long corridors and entered the elevator.

"Alpha, did they really kill her son?" he asked in a small voice.

"No. He's alive, but she doesn't have to know that."

Jimin nodded. "Alpha, spare the one with the child please."

Jungkook clenched his jaw but nodded. "I won't touch her until the baby is born. I'll spare her life but I'll take all the luxury she grew up with."

Jimin sighed. "Okay."

"To your nest?"

Jimin shook his head. "To yours. Want you to hold me."

"Okay, my love."
