Being the most beautiful omega and healer in a pack has its virtues and drawbacks. Scorned by omegas due to their jealousy of having the alpha's attention on him and other pack members, who don't talk to him, Jimin feels lonely.
Making things worse...

The next time Jimin opens his eyes and looks up at a familiar blanket, he is surrounded by warmth. His head throbs and part of his limbs aches as he tries to sit up in bed - on his own he has to admit in wonder. How did he get here? The last thing he remembers is Jungkook being in the hut and then slumping down.
"Jimin, you're awake! Thank God!" A worried voice sounds from the corner of his room. The scent of aloe vera fills the room, making Jimin audibly breathe a sigh of relief and relax. The brown-haired man lies his head back, Jinho's scent is anything but comforting. "I was so worried about you when I found you on the floor. I searched for you for what felt like hours before I found you there and then carried you here."
"Why-why were you looking for me?" The headache he feels with each word overwhelms him and he hisses as he tries to sit upright. Fatigue and dizziness increase, and with a sigh, he drops back onto his back of his bed. Warm fingertips run over his head, brushing strands of brown hair from his face.
"I haven't seen you for days, that's why I came here, but your grandparents told me you wanted to get out for a bit but were still sick. I looked in the forest but couldn't find you anywhere and ended up walking to the healer hut. In retrospect, it was stupid not to look there first, because I know how you feel about being a healer. I thought something bad had happened to you, and then I saw you lying on the floor. Min- please don't do that to me again. You're sick, for fuck's sake, how did you even get the stupid idea to go out and go to the healer's hut when you're not well yet?" Jinho asks incredulously, running his hand over his face and letting his gaze wander around the room without settling on any object for too long. The moment his gaze falls on Jimin's tired and pale face his expression falters and he gives Jimin a small smile.
Jimin wonders what he has done in the past, what he has done to deserve such a fondly alpha. He often worries about what Jinho would do if they weren't friends. If he had already found a partner and Jimin was the person holding him back.
He doesn't like to admit that he thinks about such things. At one point, it even occurred to him to ask if the alpha hadn't developed feelings for him. Jinho assured him that this wasn't the case, and Jimin has never felt so relieved as he did at that moment. It would have made them uncomfortable if he had known that he had feelings for him. He doesn't have them today either.
But he's the only Alpha he lets get close to him, and that's not going to change anytime soon. He has been with him through thick and thin. Jinho is his best friend and that won't change.
"I can make you something to drink or eat if you want, because it's already night and your grandparents have already gone to sleep after I assured them that I will take care of you."
Only now does Jimin notice, as he says his words, that it is still dark outside and it is as good as quiet in the house. Has he made his grandparents start worrying again? He's giving them nothing but worry lately.
