Jimin

"How about we go home?" I chew on my bottom lip, fixing my hair in the visor mirror of my car. "Post-heat sickness?"

Jungkook rolls his eyes. "You're making me want to smoke."

I smack him. "That's bad for you. Gross."

The omega shrugs. "I don't do it around you, Mr. Asthmatic."

An idea comes to mind and I lean in toward him, fluttering my eyelashes. "Don't you want to make your alpha happy~?"

Jungkook's eyes flash red and he smirks. "Think you have what it takes to keep up with me, Chimmy?"

My own eyes shift and I hold my ground. "I think I've been keeping up with you just fine, roomie."

He leans in further, lips dangerously close to mine. "If you were actually mine, then maybe I'd quit."

I swallow and he kisses my cheek.

"Come on, we can't leave Grandmother waiting~" Jungkook exits the car and giggles.

Sighing, I climb out myself and lock the car, only to have the omega lock elbows with me.

"You should be more affectionate." He hums.

"That'd be too out of character for me."

"Now, that's a lie. Make it believable, Chimmy. I need that money and you deserve this position."

I sigh and close my eyes. "But it's hard for me. I'm inexperienced and even if we were real, parading you around my grandmother feels weird. Do you not feel awkward at all?"

Jungkook kisses my cheek again. "You're thinking too hard, Jimin. We know each other. And I'm worth parading around, right?'

His question catches me by surprise. "I mean, I suppose you are. You're really... you."

He quirks an eyebrow and looks me over. "And what does that mean?"

"You just want me to compliment you to fuel your ego." I scoff, but exhale. I know he isn't that cocky. But I do like when he feels confident. "You're pretty, nice, artistic, caring, strong, unique..."

The omega's scent sweetens as he beams his bunny smile at me. "But am I sexy?"

I gulp. "I mean..." Images of him with that other omega resurface and I close my eyes, blushing. "You are the Jeon Jungkook, right?"

Although the omega smiles, I can tell from his scent that it wasn't as much of a mood booster as it could've been. He runs his fingers through my hair and squeezes my hand. "That's right. So you should definitely attend this dinner because we're South Korea's it couple and we're hot as fuck."

Chuckling, I roll my eyes. "Let's go, my omega boyfriend."

"Certainly, my sexy alpha baby~"

I blush and yank him along before ringing the doorbell.

Jungkook shifts, getting closer to me. "This place is big and lavish. I feel out of place."

"But you're the golden bunny. You fit in just right." I squeeze his hand and play with his hair. "And if you're worth parading around, you're worth stepping inside this mansion."

He stares at my face and slowly, his lips part, only for my grandmother's butler to open the door.

"Mr. Park and Mr. Jeon, please follow me." He bows and Jungkook blinks before exhaling and plastering a smile on his face.

"Mrs. Park is excited you two have made it. Dinner has been prepared properly and she even managed to get a chef to prepare a full course meal for the occasion.
