✔ ALPHA FOR HIRE 🔞 namkook

#24

"Come in."

Jungkook didn't know how he had been able to utter those words so steadily, as he let the alpha inside his home. Namjoon frowned at the scent-blocker candles, confused as to why Jungkook had lit them, but he didn't comment on it.

He was still wary of Jungkook's invitation because he knew how stubborn the omega was, and he believed he would find a way to end their bond. He just didn't expect what he had to say next.

"So, hm, I called you here because I got my pregnancy results back." Jungkook started after they both sat on the big sofa, with a lot of space between them.

Namjoon's heart made a leap in his chest, anxiety growing inside him as he tried to hold back his excitement for the confirmation of what he deemed definite. Now, closer, with cleared head, he could feel it. It was a weird feeling, it wasn't like he could smell, hear, or see, it was just an affirmation stuck in the back of his mind.

"I didn't get pregnant, so we should keep trying."

Namjoon's first reaction was to be taken aback, surprised of hearing such words, getting slightly scared that he was wrong, or worse, that something happened. But his wolf was calm, his wolf was certain.

So Namjoon squinted his eyes at the omega, waiting for his next words.

Jungkook was a pile of nerves, his wolf whining, growling at him, wanting to punish him for lying to their alpha, but Jungkook was in panic. He didn't want to admit what he was feeling. What if he was wrong?

Namjoon seemed fine when he opened the door. His scent was calm, he didn't seem excited or deprived. What if it was just Jungkook? What if it was just his wolf feeling like that? What if it wasn't an imprint of sorts?

"Hm, m-my next heat and your next r-rut are still gonna take two months to come, right?" He started off, uncertain, voice wavering, pitchy at times, sweat gathering at the corner of his temples as he tried to come up with something.

"B-but I was thinking... there are cases where an omega can g-get pregnant out of the heat or rut periods. It's just a random chance. So we should keep having sex regularly."

He finished, sweaty palms rubbing against his thighs, hoping that if this was just his wolf's problem, he could temporarily solve his problem.

"So this is your solution?" Namjoon questioned, finally understanding what was Jungkook's ploy.

"What?"

Namjoon got up on his feet, seemingly angry with something, and Jungkook looked at the alpha with apprehension.

"Look, Jungkook, I don't know if you remember this, but on the first day of my rut I told you that I was at risk of falling in love with you." Jungkook listened carefully, eyes wide, heart beating erratically against his chest, as he waited for the conclusion of the alpha's speech.

"And you agreed to that little clause of the contract where one of us could pull out of the deal if we fell in love, right?" Jungkook nodded slowly, eyes prickling and bottom lip wobbling, jutting out in a pout.

"So I called your lawyer before coming here."

"What? Hyung, yo-you c-can't... I-I'm not pr-pregnant yet." Jungkook panicky said, choking on the imminent tears that threatened to fall.
