The morning after Jimin suffers headache.

When Jimin woke up in the morning, it was still dark in the room. He rolled to his side to hug his husband as was his habit, only to realize his side was empty. The alpha cracked his eyes open, glancing around with worry.

Jungkook never woke before him. His adorable husband loved to sleep in and loved it even more when he woke him with breakfast. Jimin threw his legs off the bed and went to the bathroom. When he didn't find him there, he came back to grab his phone.

The alpha froze when he finally noticed the time. "Shit," he cursed and ran outside.

He was late. It was eight-thirty and he should have been at the office already. He needed to cook for Jungkook and can't allow him to eat outside. He thought of calling Hannah and postponing the morning meeting. There was no way he could make it on time.

His posture relaxed when he entered the kitchen. The smell of delicious food greeted him first and the sight of his sleepy little bun next. He looked so fluffy with his bed hair and oversized black t-shirt. He sat on the kitchen chair, hugging his knees as he watched his dad cook.

"Dad?" Jimin smiled. "When did you come? Why didn't you guys wake me up?"

Jungkook looked back and cracked a smile. "Hey, alpha," he mumbled coarsely. "You had a severe headache last night and you were sound asleep."

"Hmm...That's okay." Jimin reached him first. He kissed on top of his head. "Want any help, dad?"

"Nothing. Just sit back and relax," Jungkook's dad waved him off. "I already asked your assistant to reschedule your morning meetings. Freshen up. Breakfast will be ready soon."

Jungkook grinned. "Dad makes the best food. Come on. Brush and be back," he urged.

"I can't eat anymore." Jungkook leaned back, rubbing his stomach as he pushed the waistband of his shorts down.

On the other side, Minmin laughed out loud, holding his stomach.

"Stop laughing." He groaned. "I can barely breathe." Jungkook slumped in his chair.

"Take it easy, honey bun." Jimin wrapped an arm around his shoulder as he polished his plate. The taste was indeed the best and he could feel the distinct flavor that made it all better. It was the best. He too was full. "That was incredible, dad." He pushed the plate aside. "So, dad, I thought you were traveling. What's with the surprise?"

Jungkook's dad nodded and stood. "Surprise indeed." When he came back, he brought a gift box and two letters. "I'm here because I had to give this to you both in person."

Jimin frowned. "What's this?" He reached for the letter.

Jungkook too reached for the second letter at the same time.

"Welcome letters from the Pack Regulatory Authority," his father-in-law said. "You're both now officially the Head Alpha and Head Omega of the Jeon pack."

"Huh?" Both Jungkook and Jimin gaped at him.

His father-in-law on the other hand, just laughed. "Here's the email I received this morning. I knew this was coming and I had to be here in person to deliver the news. Consider this my final wedding gift." He browsed through his phone before offering it to him.

Jimin was speechless as he glanced at his father-in-law's phone.

Jimin just stared at him blankly, having not expected this. His thoughts have all halted. He had trained almost all his life for something like this, but after Minjun's birth, he never thought about it. His only aim was to provide a better life for his pup.

Being a Head Alpha was no easy task. He wondered how he was going to handle everything at once. He hasn't settled as the Vice Chairman yet. There was just so much to do.

"I'm growing old. Well, not that old but definitely old," Jungkook's dad said. "After my mate passed away, I only had two goals in life. First was to give a better life to my pup and ensure he never missed his mom too much or felt her absence. Second was to protect this company from the vultures that wanted a piece of it and bring it to where it is today." He leaned back. "After a while, it felt like I was really heading toward something without any sense of direction," he admitted. "Same stuff every day... That was until I met you and Minjun." He smiled. "Now I have a new goal. I'm tired of my current lifestyle and I want a break. I want to enjoy the rest of my life with my grand pups and with my family. I want to stop running like this all the time and take some time for myself and let myself savor this."

Jimin exhaled and nodded. "I understand, dad."

"You don't have to take charge immediately," Jungkook's dad assured. "I've only completed the legal process. Get settled with the company first. That's the priority. You can take over the pack from me whenever you feel ready for it. I'll train you and even after you take charge, I'll do everything to help."

Jimin's smile was relieved. "Okay, dad."

"Puppy, we activated your mom's account for you to use." Jungkook blinked and his jaw slackened. "I hired a new assistant for you and she will help you run your account. An announcement has already gone out."

"What?" Jungkook gasped.

His dad hooked his chin under Jungkook's chin, closing his mouth. "Seoyeon and Sohee were misusing the pack funds and benefits given to your grandmother. I've received at least nine complaints in the last six months because of this. Her cards, vehicles and her so-called head omega privileges, they're all used by them. I can't let this go on longer, bun. It's time for you to step up and do your duty to your pack. They have waited so long for you. It's time to step into your mom's shoes and make her proud."

Jungkook's shoulders relaxed. "Okay, Papa." He was silent for a moment before he beamed. "I'll do what it takes."

His dad nodded. "Sohee is also trying to skip the line and get married in about three months. Yesterday, her minions went to the venue she wanted and created some issues because they said it's booked. They were using the Jeon family name to threaten the management. I received a call from the owner." He exhaled. "Put them in their place, bun. Jeon family has only one omega and that's you. Make sure no one else misuse our family name and privilege again."

Jungkook nodded. His eyes darkened. "Yes, Papa. Don't worry about it."

His dad stood. "Alright, I got a meeting in an hour. I'll drop Minmin on the way to my office." He grabbed his discarded jacket from the chair. "I'll see you in office, son."

"Okay, dad." Jimin stood so he could walk him out.

Just want to take a moment to thank you all for showing interest in this au. Honestly, I'd have wrapped it sooner if you didn't leave comments, telling me you're enjoying. 

I know it's kind of a slow burn so I wasn't sure how it'd be accepted. I had to let the things build before the gradual tension and all the drama. But it makes me happy for all the support. Your excitement is contagious and it encourages me too. Take care 💜
