His eye's jumped up to Jungkook's and for the first time in his life he felt bold, filled with some unknown, unexplored feminine omega power. Not knowing how he got the nerve, he said simply, "This..."
And he reached up, closed his eyes and pressed soft luscious plump, warm lips against the alpha's.
For a moment the alpha didn't react. Jimin felt something move through him, an aching wanting. It stunned him with its intensity. And then hope sprang and bloomed in his chest. Jungkook wasn't pushing him away. Would the alpha kiss him back? He want him to, so much. His lips moved tentatively against the alpha's... and then abruptly his world erupted and tilted. Jungkook stood and pushed him away from him with two harsh hands so quickly that Jimin was dizzy and would have staggered and fallen back, if it wasn't for the alpha's unwitting support. His jacket fell to the ground behind Jimin."What the hell do you think you are doing?"
He let go and somehow Jimin managed to keep standing. Jimin could feel a tide of red heat climb his chest, his body throbbing painfully with all the newly discovered sensations clamouring for release.
The way Jungkook was looking at him with such distain, made Jimin turn to jelly from the disbelief and horror he felt from his previous actions.
His voice was hesitant as he answered the alpha's previous question. "I...I was kissing you. "
He was scathing." I know that, Jimin, I'm not stupid. "
Mortification twisted his insides. "I'm sorry... I don't know what... " He shook his head and stumbled away a little. The alpha caught him back with his hands on the omega's shoulders.
"No, Jimin,... what the hell was that? Why would you try to kiss me?"
"Because..." he looked at him, backlit by the falling dusk. So handsome. And it made something burn in his belly, dissolving his embarrassment. He had to tell him. Now. "I did it because..." he swallowed painfully "I love you, Jungkook. "
The alpha straightened, his whole body taut, bristling. "You what?"
"I... I love you."
Nothing moved. Jimin saw Jungkook looking at him and the blatant shock on the alpha's face changed to confusion and then something else... disgust.
Jungkook took his hands off his shoulders suddenly as though he'd been burnt."Look I don't know what you're up to Jimin, but I don't appreciate it. I'm announcing my engagement tonight and if someone had seen... Hell. Just go, Jimin. "
His words dropped into the omega's brain like a bomb but didn't register.
Engagement? Marriage? To whom?
Jimin felt a mad desire to burst into hysterical laughter and then just as suddenly felt very silly. And very smal and very young. Like a child caught playing dress up, with his entire face smeared with makeup. Acutely conscious all of the sudden of his less not exactly svelte figure and his dress, which he'd borrowed from Aera, hoping to look and be more grown up, and which was a little too tight.
His lips felt stiff and numb. His body cold.
"I'm sorry, Jungkook, just forget this... all of it. Forget it happened, forget me." He whirled away and ran, down the steps, into the garden, away from the patio, away from everything. He heard the alpha call after him once but he didn't stop, or go back.
The tears came as he ran and when he finally stopped he hunched down and cried until he could hardly see. He cried for being so naïve, so silly and for listening to Aera. He must have been emboldened by some lunar magic or madness, the wine... As if someone like Jeon Jungkook would ever notice someone like him, would ever even want to kiss someone like him. He cringed when he thought of how he'd thrown himself at the unsuspecting alpha. The poor alpha had probably had to pry his hands off him. He wiped his cheeks. One thing was for sure, he was never going to touch alcohol again if it lead had him to do something so stupid and ill-judged.
Miserable, Jimin went back up towards the house, unable to avoid going around it to return home. And as he passed the open patio doors, he couldn't help but look inside. The room was hushed, the designer-clad, jewel-bedecked crowd with glasses high in the air as they toasted The newly announced union of Jungkook and his stunning omega at his side. His fiancee. Kim Jennie, the famous model. They looked so beautiful together Jimin's eyes watered again. He felt a tap on his shoulder and whirled around, very aware of his his tear stained cheeks. Aera. Loking at him with sympathy written all over her face.
"Oh, Jiminie , I'm so sorry..."
Something in the way she said it made Jimin very still. His stomach churned as he suddenly remembered his cousin's words.'By the time you see him again he'll be married with four kids.' "Please , tell me you didn't know about this, Aera."
Aera looked defiant. "I did you a favour, Jiminie. If you'd known, would have gone near him?"
Of course not!
He lashed himself again at his phenomenal naivety and knew it was in that moment that something in him died, or grew up.
He pulled away, physically and mentally, curled up somewhere inside himself. Something in Aera's face made him want to protect himself. It was something he'd never seen before. Or noticed. He contrived to toss his head, exactly how he'd seen his cousin do a thousand times, usually when Jungkook was around, and shrugged. "Its no big deal, Aera. I can hardly complete with Jennie, now can I? "He even managed a small laugh from somewhere. "But, like you said, at least I tried... ne?
And for the first time in his young life, he summoned all the adult poise he could, and swept away, leaving the party, his cousin and Jungkook behind.~~~~~~To Be Continued ~~~~~~
