Jungkook pov

He was grateful to her.

She'd mentioned that Jimin needed a friend and then she'd become that friend, being there for him when he was busy with diplomats, treaties, and matters of the high court.

His sister gave them an elaborate curtsey and beamed.

"Congratulations to the happy couple!" she said.

"You both looked so handsome up there."

Jimin grinned and reached up to pretend-straighten his bow tie.

Jungkook watched him, feeling an ache in his chest and his groin. Jimin was quite attractive and even more so when he was smiling.

His smile lit up his face, his pretty green eyes, and made him practically glow with happiness.

Jungkook liked it.

He was going to have to do more to keep a smile on Jimin's face.

Not even for purely selfish reasons, either. Well, for some selfish reasons.

Like the erection currently tenting his trousers. Luckily, the table hid it.

"Thanks, Jen," Jimin said.

"I'm just glad it's over. I was sure I was going to pass out and fall off the stage."

"Don't worry," she quipped.

" jungkook would've caught you. He's good for something...sometimes."

She glanced at him and put her hands on her hips. "I expect you to take good care of him, brother."

"Don't worry your little tiara-wearing head,sis.I know how to make my mate happy."

He was boasting, but then again, he was entitled.

The longer he was around Jimin, the more he wanted Jimin around.

"I trust you, jungkook," she said loftily, as if he should be honored.

It amused him when she played princess.

She didn't have a big head not like he did.

She was better than him in many way.

That wasn't something he'd ever admit aloud.

But Jen had been able to look beyond Jimin's heritage to see the real omega, to become his friend.

She'd set an example for jungkook.

Her simple acceptance of Jimin had even shamed him into dropping his complaints about the omega being lowborn and half-human and all the ugly things he'd said.

If these two kept forcing he to be a better person, then he was lucky to have Jimin and lucky to have Jennie in his life no matter how much he might growl about it.

"I need wine," his sister suddenly announced.

She turned to her entourage. "Let's find our places, everyone, so we can eat. These royal weddings are supposed to have good catering."

"I intend to discover if it's true. Other wise, I will never feel safe getting married."

She waggled her eyebrows at Jimin, stuck out her tongue at jungkook, and sauntered off.

Jungkook chuckled and shook his head. His sister...was a pain in his ass.

He nudged Jimin. "I gave you the chance to marry her."

Jimin looked utterly nonplussed. "I...But... I told you—"

"Relax. I'm teasing. You belong to me, and nobody's as selfish as a king."
