Omega for Hire | Jikook ✓

Chapter 15: Validate You

Jimin

Bare, strong arms wrap around me and a face props up on my shoulder, lips pressing against my scent gland shortly after.

"Mm, you cooking some for your boyfriend too, I hope?"

Rolling my eyes, I flip the French toast and season the sunny side up eggs, keeping an eye on the ham. "Of course not. I'm going to eat this all on my own. Actually, I'm gonna invite Taehyung over and he'll eat the other portion."

"You're so sassy, baby. I like it." He nips my neck playfully.

I scoff. "Well, you shouldn't. I looked in the mirror today and do you know what I saw?"

"My cutie, sexy, lovely, Park Jimin, staring right back at you?" Jungkook giggles and starts to suck on my neck.

"Exactly what you're doing now!" I screech. "I'm all covered in-in-in hickies!"

Jungkook runs a finger over what's exposed at the moment, humming at his work. "I really am an art major, aren't I?"

"You little shit."

"Don't call me little while I'm taller than you. Also, stop pretending you don't like it. 'Aah, J-Jungkook! It feels so good!'"

I start hitting him with the spatula. "Learn your place! I'm your fucking elder!"

He cackles, wiggling his eyebrows at me. "Hit me harder, Daddy."

"Stop fucking calling me 'daddy!'"

The omega pins me to the counter and looks down at me, eyes glowing red. "Or else what? Are you gonna beat my ass? Please do."

Turning around, I puff my cheeks out and start dishing us up. "I don't know why I decided to date you."

In a flash, I'm once again caged in by the brunet. He slots a knee between my thighs, tilting my head to look up at him.

His scent surrounds me like tendrils, taunting me, as his thumb caresses my bottom lip. He cocks his head to the side, red eyes challenging, his expression coy despite our position.

"Am I not the omega of your dreams, Park Jimin?"

I shiver, body heating up at how he's handling me. How is it that once we became official, something inside him switched? How am I expected to handle him? I'm the only one who has really dealt with the omega's dominance.

Unconsciously, I lean in, wanting nothing more than to feel his pretty lips against mine. They're practically taunting me, daring me to take them.

But the younger parts from me, grabbing his breakfast like nothing happened.

"Thank you for the meal!"

"It's your birthday soon," Jungkook whispers, playing with my hand in bed.

I blink, thinking of the date. "I mean, we have some time. It's only the first." Slowly, I turn my head to study his expression. "That reminds me... your birthday... why don't you celebrate it?"

Jungkook faces me and thinks. "They were never a big deal in my house."

"But you seem interested in mine this year. Why? Your birthday was exactly a month ago and you turned twenty, but you acted like it was just a normal day."

"That's because I know you like to celebrate them. And this year, I want to start making a bigger deal. I mean, I am your boyfriend and all."

His blushing cheeks make me smile and I shift closer to him and wrap myself around him.

"You can come with me to Grandma's to celebrate, then. We can do something here too, if you want. What I do with her is kind of stuffy in some ways. You don't have to come if you don't want to."

"I do. And maybe I can make your day special." He smirks and I shove him.

"Such a perv. I just hope things go well. I'm so nervous." I exhale and look at the ceiling. "I have you, an omega. Is that enough? Kook, I really want it to be because hiding myself is tiring. Of course I can't act one hundred percent myself, but I really want the validation."

Jungkook sits up. "Why?"

"Well, I look up to her. She's the one who started the company. And she's the only blood I have left. I really like you and being with you, even if you're a little shit. I want her to like us together too. It's not like I'd break up with you for her, but that validation would feel nice. I want something that's me to be good enough."

He runs his fingers through my hair. "You're amazing, Jimin. Your grandmother will see that. Whether or not she'll like me personally is up in the air, but since I'm Jeon Jungkook, she probably will. Otherwise, there's something wrong with her. If not that, she'll have to like us together as long as you're happy." Jungkook kisses my forehead. "She loves you, Chimmy. I know it. Don't worry too much if she doesn't tell you how perfect you are. I'll give you all the validation you need."

My fingers touch my ears, reminiscing how we matched earrings. "Thank you, Kook. I like how I can at least be somewhat of myself around you."

Eyebrows furrow. "Somewhat?"

"Well, I still have to repress a bit when it comes to more... permanent parts of my appearance, you know?"

"Like?"

"My hair." I exhale. "I've always wanted to try different looks, but that would seem too 'omega-like' in her eyes, so I stick to brown and black."

Jungkook studies my hair. "I think you should do it."

I blink. "Really? But what if it costs me the company?"

"Baby, I won't let something as trivial as a hair color reflect your professionalism. With every thing you do to make yourself aesthetically more you, just show her more and more how capable you are. Maybe you don't like hearing this, but you really are an alpha, Jimin."

"Really an alpha?"

He nods. "You have all kinds of qualities that some consider to be alpha. And they're sexy."

I scoff and roll my eyes. "Of course."

"It's true. You're smart, hardworking, and have this aura. You demand attention without even trying. It's like some sort of intrinsic motivator on the spectator's part. With some alphas, they have to put in the work to get attention, respect. But you don't even have to try. When you walk in the room, all eyes are on you. You're Park Jimin. Your very existence calls for respect and adoration."

My cheeks warm up and I open my mouth.

Jungkook shakes his head. "You're perfect, Jimin. Whatever you wanna be, you can be. You've always told me to live life how I want. And I have been doing that. Let me tell you the same."

"Koo..." I sit up as well.

His lips brush against mine. "Yes, Jimin?"

"I'm obsessed with you."

Author's Note: There's no way I'm going to get this done before Opposites Attract drops. But I'll definitely try and get this book done.
