Awakening the Alpha | ABO Taejin ✓

Chapter 9

Jin carefully drove as he tries to recall which road he should take. Jimin just quietly watched him, silently praying that Jin wouldn't find where they should be headed.

Jimin knows how curious Jin is when it comes to unsolved or mysterious cases. And he doesn't appreciate it as they usually end up in a more complicated situation when Jin is being like this. As much as he wanted to support his friend, he is still after their safety.

He figured Jin's persistence is caused by his courage coming from the thought of bearing a protective mark. But Jimin thought when worse comes to worst, only Jin will be safe as he doesn't have the same mark. He is only an Omega who can only do much in defending himself.

Jimin's anxiety grows by the minute, as Jin takes several turns from where they drove off at the park. So he said, "Jin, I don't feel good about this."

Jin seems to be so focused at driving, so he just muttered, "Why?"

"I don't know. Just-- I am feeling a bit nervous, and-- somewhat uneasy. I can't explain it. I really think we should head back. Something wrong will happen.. I have a strong feeling about it!" Jimin said, trying to breathe deeply, small sweat drops are forming on his forehead.

"Relax Chim. We'll be fine. What's the worst that can happen?!"

"Uhm- I don't know.. die??"

Jin shook his head, "No. If they want me dead, they should've killed me already instead of sending me back home..."

"Ooh!!" Jin's eyes widen, he abruptly stepped into the brake which startled Jimin.

"Oh my god, what now?!" Jimin quickly asked, holding on tight at Jin's arm.

Jin stared at a huge mansion across the street for a while, he can hear his heart beating hard inside his chest. Then he parked his vehicle at the side of the road properly, he told Jimin,
"Chim, I can feel something about that house. Let's walk closer there."

"Are you sure it's safe?! That house looks creepy!" Jimin said, unbuckling his seat belt. "But it's huge. They must be very rich, right?! Jin? Jin, wait!!"

He hurried out as Jin has already started walking away from the car. "This guy doesn't know how to wait!!" Jimin muttered.

Jin and Jimin were silent as soon as they got in front of the gate. They couldn't really see clearly the mansion inside because of the giant gate and tall trees. The huge property was surrounded by brick walls too, making it hard to peek inside.

Both of them stared at each other, looking a bit worried.

Jimin whispered, "Is it only me, or did it suddenly get hot in here or what?!"

"Yeah. I do feel it too, Chim. I think we're in the right place." Jin said, he then moved closer to the gate and pressed the doorbell.

"What! Why did you ring the doorbell?!" Jimin pulled Jin's arm.

"What should we do then??" Jin asked. Then both of them turned as someone spoke at the gate intercom speaker.

"Name and purpose of visit?"

Jimin pushed Jin, encouraging him to speak.

"Uhm- hi! I'm uhm- Kim Seokjin. A reporter from JBS. I have a one-on-one interview please, with uhm- T-taehyung?!" Jin pressed his lips together, while Jimin crossed his fingers, hoping Jin's fake reason would work.

Silence came from the other end of the intercom for about a minute. Then the man spoke again.

"There is no interview appointment listed in here. You may leave."

Jin looked at Jimin with wide eyes, while Jimin opened his mouth but controlling his squeal. They were hyped up confirming that they are in the right house. Both of them jumped in tiny silently, before Jin spoke,

"Uhm Sir, wait. Can you please check again? Or maybe ask Taehyung? He must've just forgotten it. Is he there?!"

"No. There is no Taehyung here."

Jimin raised his eyebrow, while Jin pouted. Jin said, "Hey! You are lying! You already acknowledged that earlier by saying there is no interview listed for him today! I'm sure he expects me, so just please let him kn--"

"I said leave!! Or we'll have to force you to do so!"

Jin and Jimin were startled at the hostile man who shouted so loud from the speaker.

Jin lets out a deep and frustrated sigh, he said, "Fine! C'mon Chim!!"

"Aww! Ouch-- aww, aww Jin!! Hurry up, will you!! I don't have a whole day in here!!" Jimin whined while his body was bent, supporting Jin's feet stepping on him as the latter tries to climb the tall brick wall.

Jimin tried to hold firmly against the wall, his ass was sticking out as he maintains his upper body strong so Jin wouldn't fall.

"I'm almost up, Chim. Just a bit higher please!! I will just jump down the other side--"

"This- is- the- highest- I can do!!" Jimin said annoyingly, already having a hard time speaking because of enduring Jin's weight. "Hurry up!"

Jin then pulled himself up as he clinged his arm onto the wall. He raised his leg up to fully get his whole body across to the other side.

"Ooppp!!" Jin fell on his ass to the other side, which worried Jimin.

"Oh no! Are you okay, Jinnie??" Jimin shouted, but in a much softer voice as they were trying to keep unnoticed by the guards.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I fell on the grass lawn. Wait-- let me climb back again so I can pull you up!"

"How about I'll just wait for you here?? You go inside and find your Alpha! I'll just wait in the car. Call me if you need help." Jimin said.

"What! You're leaving me alone here!?! No! You have to join me!!" Jin said firmly, his hands on his waist as he looks up the wall.

"Aisshh!" Jimin whispered to himself. He suddenly felt more anxious from when they started to climb the wall just to be able to get in. He gulped hard then wiped the sweats off his forehead.

Then Jimin said towards the wall,
"Are you sure this is a good idea, Jin?! What if we get caught?!!"

"It's not a what if. Coz you are definitely now caught." A calm, cold voice said behind Jimin, which made the latter scream loud.

"Aaahhh!! Jin!! Help!! A guard! There's a security guard here!!!!"

"Oh no, Chim!!! Run!" Jin shouted from the other side.

Jimin attempted to run, but the man gripped on Jimin's arm tight, preventing him to move a muscle.

"Who you calling a security guard??!" The man growled loud, and in a snap, Jimin kneeled, whimpering softly. It's as if his Omega has shriveled at the voice of the man in front of him.

The man got on his one knee in front of Jimin and said, "You are one brave Omega, hmm? Do you have any idea who I am??" He said, taking Jimin's chin with his two fingers, raising it up to stare at his face.

Jimin looked at the man's green eyes, he took a deep breath, his chest is beating loud and his lips seems to be trembling, then he said,

"I-- I still t-think you look like a security guard!!!!"
