------------------------------

Today's a day when Jungkook hates to be a Beta. Usually he doesn't complain at all, but now?
He wants to disappear while he pretends like nothing happened a short while ago.

He was hanging out at Taehyung's place, they were playing Overwatch and eating take-out as they both felt too lazy to actually cook something. But Jungkook didn't play as well as he usually does, and he got so frustrated that he had to hold back his tears. When Tae noticed it he asked if everything was okay, and Jungkook had to reply with the dumbest excuse that the food was too spicy. A few minutes later he mumbled something about that he has to check out one of the essays he needs to send to his professor (which was a lie as he already sent it), and after he promised he's going to come over again, he left.

Now, here he is, on his way home with teary eyes and a heavy heart - he felt bad for Taehyung that he he didn't explain what's the real reason why he left so unexpectedly - but all he wants is to go home, take a hot bath and curl up in his bed, surrounding himself with his plushies and his hyung's clothes. He has a nice collection of them, and whenever one of his friends comes over he always gives them these clothes they can sleep in so their scents don't fade.

A huge sigh leaves his lips when he enters the code to get into the high-rise building, but he notices a flyer taped onto the door.

"Huh..." Jungkook hums as he reads the flyer; it was about an Alpha who provides special care for anyone who asks for it, like helping Omegas through their heat or Alphas through their ruts, or anything else they wanted.
He takes his bottom lip between his teeth, thinking deeply, wondering about if he should try it out or not. The flyer mentions Omegas and Alphas, but it's still worth a try, it won't hurt anyone, right?

"Aish, whatever!" Jungkook groans and tears off a tab before he enters the code again and rushes up to his floor - the elevator got stuck again -, fidgeting with his keys before he finally steps into his apartment. He leans back his head against the door, closing his eyes and taking deep breaths. The familiar scent of his home helps him to calm down, his shoulders get loose and the ache in his chest fades.

A few moments later he opens his eyes and looks at the small paper in his hand with a frown, his bottom lip captured by his teeth again. Should he give it a try? Should he let himself hope?

"Argh!" He lets out a frustrated groan again. He's so scared to even try to contact the number on the tab. He doesn't want to end up rejected by this Alpha only to spend his heat all alone.

Like he always does.

Yeah, this is definitely a day when he really hates being a Beta.

It's not the most common thing to get into both heats and ruts as a Beta. When he experienced a rut for the first time, his parents brought him to a specialist who explained that some Betas can go through it. The doctor reassured them that it doesn't happen as often as in the Alphas case, but some Betas can still have it at least once or twice a year.

Even though it took a while for Jungkook to get used to the fact that he's probably going to have a rut at least one more time that year, he eventually accepted it.

But a few months later he had his first heat. He mistook the symptoms with his rut, thinking they were not always the same, but later he had to realise that it was not the case.

His parents took him to the same specialist who told them that one out of ten times when a Beta goes through ruts, they can also go into heats. The doctor hoped that it wouldn't be like that in Jungkook's case, being well-built and stronger than most Betas were, but unfortunately sometimes things don't go as planned.

When Jungkook asked if he could use suppressants, the doctor said they wouldn't recommend it at all as the heats came just as rarely as ruts for Betas, and the pills would only mess up his hormones even more. All Jungkook got were painkillers and a thorough medical advice about how and what he'd have to do during each circle - the ruts and the heats.

Although the doctor told him back then that it's okay to tell this to his friends, that he's not a freak or anything like that, Jungkook had never told it to anyone - only his family and the specialist know it. He can't help but feel too insecure to explain this to his friends even if he knows that they're all understanding, because what if they... what if they wouldn't try to understand him, if they would think he's a weirdo? He doesn't want to risk it, so whenever he notices his symptoms, he stays at home all alone, using dildos, porn and whatever else he can use to go through his heats and ruts.

This is why he's so tempted now to give it a try and call this unknown Alpha. It's so terrible to spend his ruts and heats all alone - especially the heats. During it he not only craves for a knot or to be fucked, he also wants cuddles and being taken care of, to feel someone else's closeness, smelling their scent that soothes him and helps him lessen his pain and longing.

With a huff, he makes his way towards the bathroom, dropping the paper onto the table as he walks by the living room. Once getting to the bathroom, he opens the bathtub and quickly takes off his clothes. He stretches and hisses when he feels a faint ache in his belly.

When the tub is filled with steaming water, Jungkook carefully sinks in, a satisfied sigh leaving his lips as the water reaches his chin. He slowly massages his tummy like he learned back then from the doctor to ease the pain there. Thankfully it's not that bad right now, the only symptoms are that he's more emotional, that he's craving to be in his nest and the cramps in his belly. He probably has a few more days before his heat kicks in.

A few more days to call that Alpha-

Jungkook shakes his head; why did he even take a tab in the first place? What was he thinking? He's fine, he's not a desperate Omega, he managed his heats (and ruts) before without anyone's help.

So why does he feel like he should give this opportunity a try?

...well, considering how much he's thinking about this, he doesn't have a choice, does he?

But before he'd do anything else, he really wants to spend at least half an hour in the hot water.

He can make that call later.

When his cell phone starts buzzing, Jimin almost drops it from his hand - he's scrolling through his social media while he's waiting for his friends - but he collects himself and looks at the number. A furrow appears between his brows as he can't recognise the number, but he picks it up anyway.

"Hello?" He greets whoever it is at the other side of the line.

"Uh, hello!" Jimin finds the voice cute - soft and nervous, yet a bit lower. "Sorry for bothering you, but... I saw this number on a flyer, and... ah, whatever, sorry again that I disturbed you-"

"Hey, wait! Don't hang up!" Jimin says, unintentionally leaning forward in his seat. After he makes sure the other is still on the line, he continues. "You said you got my number from a flyer?"

"Yes." The person replies shyly.

"That means you'd like to ask for my help?" Jimin asks gently. Hoseok chooses this moment to sit down next to him, but thankfully he stays quiet.

"Only if it's okay?"

"Of course! I wouldn't have made these flyers if I didn't mean to offer my help to whoever needs it." He reassures the other, a small smile appearing on his face. Hoseok raises up one of his brows, a smirk appearing on his face.

"Oh, okay..." silence settles in for a few moments, and Jimin patiently waits, putting his finger against his lips as Yoongi and Seokjin arrive at their table. "I'm so sorry, I just don't know how this works, what should I say or ask-"

"It's alright, don't worry," Jimin interrupts them before they could freak out even more. "I usually ask for at least one meeting to discuss the details - what kind of care do you need and for how long, to give a few examples." He explains, hoping this will help at least a little. Yoongi and Seokjin share a look as they sit down in front of Jimin before they both look at him, curiosity written all over their faces.

"So... this means that we should meet?" They ask after a few moments of silence.

"Mhm." Jimin hums in agreement. "When would it be good for you..." he trails off as he realizes he doesn't know the other's name.

"Jungkook." Jimin's almost sure they smile.

"Nice to meet you! My name is Jimin." He introduces himself. "So, when would you like to meet, Jungkook-ssi?"

"Can we meet tomorrow? Or is it too soon?" Jungkook asks, the nervousness is evident in their voice.

"No, tomorrow is fine. Around 9 am? I know a nice coffee shop where we could meet, if it's okay with you." He's currently sitting right in the coffee shop with his friends; it's a nice, cozy place where they can have some privacy to discuss the details.

"Yes, that sounds good."

"Alright, then. See you tomorrow!" Jimin sees how all of his friends frown as none of them recognise the name, but he ignores it.

"Have a nice day, Jimin-ssi!" Jungkook softly bids his goodbye before he ends the call.

Jimin looks at the phone in his hands for a few moments, wondering. He's still surprised that someone actually called him - but he's happy to help. He's excited to meet with Jungkook.

"Who was that, Jimin-ah?" Seokjin asks, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"A new client, I guess?" Hoseok says it as a joke, but when he notices the blush on the younger's face, his eyes widen. "Wait, really? I thought you were joking about those flyers!"

"Wow, whoever that person is, they must be desperate," Yoongi comments, making Seokjin laugh out loud.

"Yeah, really funny, hyung..." Jimin mumbles as he taps the number and saves it, then sets an alarm for tomorrow morning before he locks it and puts it onto the table.

"But hyung, you also asked Jimin for help when you were in heat," Hoseok says, and now it's Yoongi's turn to blush.

"I don't know what you're talking about..." Yoongi says quietly as he looks away.

"Don't be mean, Hoseokie, we all asked for Jiminie's help, and he never said no to us," Seokjin gently scolds Hoseok and looks at Jimin with a wild smile. "You're truly a gem, Jimin-ah."

"Thank you, hyung," Jimin smiles back, his cheeks burning.

"So, you're going to meet him here tomorrow?" Yoongi asks, trying to make it up with Jimin after his teasing.

"Mhm," he replies as he takes a sip from his drink. "I'm excited, I could never help anyone else besides you - maybe one person..." he adds, suddenly feeling shy.

"You'll be doing fine, pup," Yoongi reassures him, the nickname making him blush again.

"I agree with Yoongichi," Seokjin nods. "You're amazing both with giving and getting - you got this," he says.

"Stop," Jimin whines as he buries his face between his hands. He's not used to getting compliments, especially not about his... skills in bed.

"Aw, don't be shy!" Hoseok cooes. "Hyung's not exaggerating though..." he adds, a hidden glimpse appearing in his eyes as he glances at Jimin.

"Are you close to your rut or you're just simply horny?" Yoongi asks and shoots a glare at Hoseok as he sips from his coffee.

"Wanna find out, hyung?" Hoseok teases, raising an eyebrow.

"Enough you two and get a room," Seokjin scolds them both, nodding when he hears both of them mumbling a low 'sorry, hyung'. He focuses on Jimin again, giving a reassuring smile. "If you need anything, let me know, okay?"

"Okay, hyung," Jimin replies, his lips curling up as well.

He can't wait to meet with Jungkook.

He hopes everything's going to be fine.

★★★

Jimin gets to the coffee shop just in time, he looks around when he enters the place. Jungkook sent him a short description about what he's going to wear - a white button up shirt with bright blue stripes on it and jeans that's ripped at the knees -, and wrote that he's got a bit longer black hair so he's probably going to be recognised easily.

It only takes a few moments for Jimin to notice Jungkook sitting at the far end of the shop, staring at the cup he's holding. His hair covers a bit of his face, his mouth's forming a cute little pout.

Jimin walks towards the table where Jungkook's sitting, only stopping a few steps away when he gets there. Jungkook must be deeply in his thoughts as he doesn't look up.

"Jungkook-ssi?" Jimin speaks up softly, hoping he won't scare the latter.

Although Jungkook does jerk a little, when he glances up - gosh, he has such big eyes! - his lips curl up to a shy smile when their gazes meet.

"Oh, good morning! Jimin-ssi, right?" His voice sounds even softer yet a bit lower than he heard through the phone.

"Good morning!" He smiles back, his eyes becoming little crescents as he does so. He sits down in front of Jungkook and rests his hands on the table. "I hope I didn't make you wait too long," he adds, his cheeks heating up.

"No, I just got here a few minutes ago," Jungkook reassures him. He clears his throat as he looks away, it's obvious how nervous he is. "So... how should we start this exactly?"

Jimin wants to coo but he holds back himself.

"A small introduction maybe?" Jimin asks, and when Jungkook nods he takes a breath and continues. "My name is Park Jimin. I'm twenty-five and I only have this... thing as a job," he makes a face at himself, but he doesn't know what he should call this at all. "Oh, and you can drop the honorifics," he adds, earning a nod from the latter.

"My name is Jeon Jungkook, I'm twenty-three and I'm a uni student, I'm graduating this semester," Jungkook says, biting his bottom lip for a few moments before he adds, "and I work at a tattoo shop during the weekends - I help making the designs for the artists."

"Ooh, that sounds so interesting! What kind of designs do you make?" Jimin asks as he leans closer a bit.

"It depends on what the clients want - I can make non figurative ones or portraits too, and scenery," he replies with pink cheeks, but Jimin notices how happily he talks about this. He's sure Jungkook loves his job.

"Are you planning to be a tattoo artist as well?"

"I'm not sure yet... I love taking photographs, and I recently got into making videos, too," Jungkook trails off and looks away, taking the straw between his lips to drink from his cappuccino.

"I see," Jimin says and pulls up one of his hands to rest his chin on it. "I hope you'll find something you love doing," Jungkook looks at him, smiling a little.

They stay quiet for a while, Jimin wants to make sure Jungkook feels comfortable in his presence. He wears a scent blocker on purpose, and as far as he can tell the younger wears it too.

"Uh, I'm sorry to be this silent, I just- I'm nervous," Jungkook mumbles as he lowers his gaze to the cup, tugging his hair back behind his ear.

"It's okay, don't worry," Jimin smiles at him, his eyes becoming crescents again. "We can start whenever you feel ready. Or we can go to the park nearby to sit somewhere more private."

"We... we can stay here. This place is nice, I like it here," Jungkook says, his fingers playing with the straw.

"Alright, then," Jimin sits back up and puts his hand onto the other on the table. "My first question would be straight forward - what would you like me to help you with?"

The question is enough for Jungkook to blush, and Jimin finds it very cute, but he doesn't make fun of him.

"Uh, before we start, I'd like to explain my situation, if you let me," Jungkook says after a few moments of silence. Jimin hides his surprise and gives a nod for confirmation. "I'm a Beta who has both heats and ruts," he quickly jabbers.

Wait, what?

"I beg your pardon?" Jimin asks back as he frowns. Jungkook takes a deep breath and looks at him.

"I know this is really uncommon, but I'm one of the low percentage of Betas who go through heats and ruts too. They're not as intense and don't take as long as it would at an Omega and Alpha, but I do have them," Jungkook explains and stays quiet, letting Jimin comprehend what he heard.

Jimin admits to himself that it is quite a lot to take. He can't recall if he's ever heard about this at all, and he makes an internal note to ask his friends about it later.

Clearing his throat, he glances at Jungkook who's chewing on his lips in his nervousness.

"Would you still help me out?" Jungkook asks before he can say a word.

"Of course!" Jimin replies right away, not even thinking about rejecting someone who's asking for help. "Just because you're a Beta doesn't mean I don't want to help you."

"Really?" Jungkook's eyes go wide, hope sparkling in them.

"Mhm," Jimin hums a mischievous smile crossing his face. "I'd be a fool to say no to such a cutie like you," he adds, and the way how the younger's face turns red makes his smile go wider.

Cute.

"So, as you said you can have both heats and ruts, which one you're going to have?" Jimin asks after a short while.

"Uh, my... my heat," Jungkook whispers, barely audible. He looks so lost, so lonely that Jimin wants to put his hand onto his, squeezing it gently to reassure him that everything's going to be fine.

But he doesn't do that, he just leans a bit closer, his eyes searching for Jungkook's.

"Hey, don't feel nervous, okay? I'm here to help," he says softly. They look at each other in silence for a few moments, and Jimin can see a slight change in Jungkook's eyes.

"Okay..." he says, his voice just as quiet as before.

"So," Jimin starts as he leans back again in his seat, "I'd like you to tell me how I can help you through your upcoming heat. What are the things you crave for, anything you want me to do for you," as he speaks, he unlocks his phone and opens his notes so he can type down everything important.

"Hmm, well, what usually an Omega needs during their heat - I become super clingy, and I crave for being taken care of," Jungkook says after a short while of thinking. He hesitates for a moment, his blush showing up again when he speaks, "I also love curling up in my bed, surrounded by my friends' clothes - their scents help me calm down a little, I feel less lonely."

"I see," Jimin mumbles as he types down what he heard. "I can give you a few hoodies of mine so you can get used to my scent if that's okay?" He glances up to Jungook with a raised eyebrow.

"Hm, I think that's a good idea," the younger agrees with a nod.

"Noted. Anything else?"

"Well..." Jungkook trails off, and Jimin knows what he wants to say, but he's too shy to say it out loud.

"Look, I know this feels really awkward, but I need to know every detail, Jungkook. I've had a few clients, so I don't think you could surprise me," he says, locking his eyes with the latter, letting him know he means what he's saying.

It takes a while for Jungkook to gather up enough courage to speak, but he does eventually. Jimin eagerly types down everything the younger says, sometimes asking a few questions for more details.

Neither of them care about how much time they spend there, discussing every detail, what Jungkook likes and what he doesn't, how far Jimin can go when they're going to be together - they both know that sex is involved in this, Jungkook's going to have his heat after all -, and what are the things he definitely should not do even when the Beta's going to beg for it during his heat. Jimin notices how embarrassed Jungkook feels when he talks about these, and he tells him that he shouldn't feel like that at all.

It's almost noon when they bid their goodbyes, and Jimin ignores the slight pang he feels in his chest when Jungkook turns over and walks away, leaving him standing at the front door of the coffee shop.

Jimin goes home as well, his mind is filled with everything that happened earlier the day. He can't get Jungkook out of his head, all he can think of is the Beta, how cute he looked with his big brown eyes and red cheeks.

He collects a few of his hoodies and puts them into a bag he'll bring with himself for the next day - they arranged one more meeting before Jungkook's heat would come - as Jimin's going to go to Jungkook's home. They both agreed it's best if they'd spend Jungkook's heat in his own home as he always did.

At the end of the day, when Jimin's already in bed, he reads what he typed while they're talking at the shop. He doesn't deny how some stuff the Beta told him turns him on, and he can't wait to be with him.

He remembers what Jungkook told him as they talked about the next meeting - how he spent all his heats and ruts alone as he's scared to tell his secret to his friends. Jimin feels grateful that Jungkook trusts him enough to ask for help, and he vowed himself that he's going to do anything he can to be there for the young Beta.

He knows he should look at Jungkook as another client - not that he had that many besides his friends -, but it's so hard to do so. He knows that his inner Alpha already felt a sort of connection with the Beta, but Jimin tries his best to ignore it.

Stupid Alpha, Jimin thinks. You can't tell me you fell for a Beta of all people.

Yes, he wonders from time to time how it would be like to have a partner, a mate, but he always thought he'd be with an Omega. He feels a bit guilty that he never thought about having a Beta partner. His Alpha whines a little, and Jungkook's face appears in his mind.

Jimin turns to his side, an annoyed groan leaving his lips. But, a few moments later as he falls asleep, he goes back to the coffee shop where he saw Jungkook for the first time with his big, doe eyes and shy smile, tugging his hair behind his ear when he felt nervous or shy.

He doesn't know that his inner Alpha already knew who he wanted.

But is Jimin going to accept what his Alpha wants?
