Jimin pov

I've never felt more uncomfortable than I do in this very moment.

I hover uncertainly near the door to the hospital room as Lisa and Jungkook sit on either side of their mother's hospital bed and talk quietly about old times.

Their mother, I believe her name is Nari, is sleeping peacefully between them.

The conversations don't involve me and, in fact, I feel like I'm intruding just by being within earshot of them.

But I don't want to leave either.

Every now and then Jungkook looks my way and smiles slightly.

I get the sense that he's drawing strength from my presence somehow.

Even if I'm not really his alpha, I'm starting to feel more and more like he's my omega.

I feel helpless around him.

I can't deny him, I can't fight him, he doesn't seem to realize it yet, but he could ask me to buy him the moon and I would spend the rest of my life trying to do it for him.

How did I get like this?

I was a powerful, roving alpha at the height of my life.

An endless stream of gorgeous omegas rolling through my bed.

No relationships to tie me down.

Nothing complicated to distract me from my goals in life.

Everything I had was dedicated to my work.

Now...now I can't help but admit that I'm starting to fall in love Jungkook.

This gorgeous, talented, fiery, perfect, infuriating, intelligent omega has my heart on a platter.

I'm equal parts terrified to find out what's going to happen next.

After standing there uncomfortably for about ten minutes, I offer to go get them both some coffee.

Jungkook seems reluctant, but Lisa immediately agrees. I give Jungkook an encouraging kiss on the forehead, like any good fake alpha should, and head out to get them their coffees.

I find a vending machine for coffee and spend a few minutes trying to figure it out.

By the time the first cup is done, I can already tell that it probably tastes like crap. I tentatively sip at it and my face reflexively contorts.

It's definitely not what I'm used to drinking. I toss it in the trash nearby and sigh in frustration.

This is a small town, local hospital.

It doesn't look like there's a coffee shop in here. Which means the best I'll be able to do is to go somewhere outside of the hospital.

I peek out the front doors in hopes of spotting a food truck, but there does not seem to be one anywhere in the parking lot.

I'm getting extremely frustrated by the lack of good coffee in the area, but I also know that I need to get back to Jungkook before he gets overwhelmed by all of the pressure his sister's been pouring on him nonstop since we got here.

Sure, I understand that she's been desperate to unburden herself, but it's clear that she has no sense of pacing when it comes to unpacking her emotional baggage for other people.

I start heading back to the hospital room and get there just in time to see Nari's bed being wheeled out.

"What's going on?" I ask Jungkook as he and Lisa meet me in the hallway.
