3. Workplace romance

"I haven't thought about it, sir." 

"You can call me Jimin Hyung if you would like." The alpha interrupted. 

"That would be extremely unprofessional, sir. We aren't allowed to refer to our guests by their first name."

"Oh, doll. I love how professional you are. But I really do want to have that coffee with you. Can we work something out?" The alpha asked, continuing to tote slowly, taking his time to really look at the dish and then pour very little quantities on his plate and repeat the process so he had more time with Jungkook.

Jungkook had to do his job, so he kept holding the big lids of the dishes. "I suppose I have to be upfront with you, sir. I am not interested in you and you aren't my type. I am sorry, but I won't have that coffee with you."

"Why is your wolf begging to differ with you, doll? Hm?" Jimin chuckled mockingly and Jungkook touched behind his ear, suddenly becoming conscious of the pheromones suspended in the air. Not saying anything, he kept holding the lids while looking down.

Behind his mask, the concierge pressed his lips together. Half the redness of his cheeks was also concealed. Jimin grabbed a table from where he could view the entire restaurant. He examined the omega's each move. Jungkook could tell he was being watched, making him conscious with each step he took.

Jimin raised his hand suddenly after some time and Jungkook manifested someone else helping him, but the alpha had made sure that others were not around. "Yes, sir?" The omega had to walk towards him reluctantly.

"May I please have some water?" Jimin asked with a soft smile, seeing how Jungkook's gaze was everywhere but on him. The younger opened the water bottle and poured it into a glass. 

"Anything else, sir?" He asked. 

"Nothing for now, but if you keep walking in front of me, I'd probably ask for your number."

Looking towards the live kitchen separated by a glass wall, Jungkook spotted the head chef with his stare at him. He couldn't do anything except run away. It was now Jimin realized he threw the ball way out of the park. He should've taken things slow. The urge to ensure that Jungkook was okay in the alpha's mind now monopolized him. He could hardly pay attention to his food and suddenly, the outside world was forgotten. 

Returning to his room, he waited for a few hours before dialing 4. The bell rang on the other side and Jimin's heart picked speed. "Hello, this is Jeon Jungkook from Les Amis. How may I help you?"

"I want to have pudding with some ice cream, Jungkook. Could you please bring it to my room?"

"Sure, sir. May I know the room number?" Jungkook knew with Jimin's voice that it was him, but he had to act like he didn't because all calls were recorded. 

❣

Fixing the order on a tray, he began to walk out of the restaurant, thinking about what would he do to stop Jimin from being so clingy. He only wished Jimin checked out of the hotel soon. Ringing the bell, he waited outside, and just as the door to the suite opened, he couldn't help but inhale deeply. The alpha was shirtless and was exuding the scent in the air. 

"Come on in," Jimin opened the door wide. "Eat with me. I just want to get to know you."

It took every ounce of self-control in omega to not fall into the alpha's arms. "I c-can't ... I told you-"

"Yeah..." Jimin heaved a sigh of hopelessness as he took the bowls of desserts to place them on the cabinet top. "I know... The policies, right? I am planning to buy this hotel. So... It doesn't really matter."
