Forgotten You

8: Mother Dearest

    Hey ya'll~
I know it's been like a whole month but here I am. Lots of people have been really looking forward to the next update and I appreciate all of the really nice things you guys have said. Motivation has improved but my health has plummeted. Just a few stomach troubles that will hopefully go away soon. I pray that the next update won't take as long.

Thank you thank you for all the love ❤️

     When Jimin and Jungkook emerged from the library, Jimin saw several police cars parked outside. A small crowd had gathered in front of the boutique across the library as he and his group hurried to their car. They didn't seem to recognize him since they were focusing and waving at Jin.

Earlier, in the library, after having his embarrassing meltdown, the officers documented the report and called it a day. There was no scolding from them or annoyance. They looked honored to be babysitting Jimin, which made him feel more guilty and burdensome.

Jungkook attached himself to Jimin like glue, even picking him up to seat him in the car. When the shorter male protested, his deadly serious eyes made him freeze in his seat. The Alpha's gaze reminded him to stay still.

"Don't be selfish."

Jimin chewed on his thumb as he waited for Ms. Kim, Jin, and Jungkook to finish talking to the officers. For some reason, his boyfriend's words cut deeper than they should have. He felt the weight of a ton of bricks slamming onto him as Jungkook's words replay in his head.

"You were never this selfish."

"Selfish."

"You only think of yourself. Are you even capable of being considerate?"

Jimin jumped and opened his closed eyes when the car doors opened. That last phrase, Jungkook didn't say that just now. Was he remembering something?

Jungkook raised his brow when he saw his worried expression. He slid closer to Jimin and held the Omega's hand up to his soft cheek, gazing at him with a milder version of his intense look.

"Hey, hey. It's okay." He snaked his other hand up to his neck and caressed it.

Jimin exhaled, feeling like the heaviness had suddenly been moved away. His touch was familiar but also strange to him. Was this perhaps a touch of a lover?

Jin glanced back at them as Ms. Kim pulled out of the parking lot. He gave them a stern look before pointing at Jimin. "You. You aren't leaving my sight from now on."

Jimin tore his eyes away from Jungkook and gave his Hyung a shame-filled look. "I'm sorry, Hyung. You must have been worried."

Jin made a "hmph" sound before facing forward. "You're damn right. That note you left did nothing to lessen my worries, Jimin. Come back before night? Over my dead body. It was worse than the last time. Good thing Jungkook has - "

"Last time?" Jimin stopped him, surprised.

The car's atmosphere darkened at his question. Jungkook slipped his hand from Jimin's neck and crossed his arms. His body language told the Omega that he resented him for what they were talking about.

The sense of sadness and regret punched him in the gut when Jungkook laughed humorlessly. "It's fair that we tell him, right? Or stuff like this will keep on happening until one day he gets hurt. Go on, tell him. I don't think I have the balls to."

Jin glared at him, eyes so angry they could kill Jungkook from where he stood. "I'll tell him about this, but you have to tell him of your relationship. Don't be a pussy, Jeon Jungkook. Cowardice doesn't suit you."
