There's Something About You...

Chapter 18: Truth

Time seemed like it had frozen as the words finished reverberating inside the room.

Jungkook's mouth dropped and Jimin almost turned pale.

Good thing all rooms in the office were soundproof, exactly to keep information sealed away from curious ears.

This situation definitely was no different.

"What a nonsense, what are you-"

"Cut it, I know it's true."

Jimin froze in place.

He was trying to go around the accusation, though it seemed the other one was completely convinced of it... That guy just touched Jimin's weakest point and it was more than sufficient for him to go down the darkest lanes of his mind.

While Jimin was under too much pressure to think straight, Jungkook noticed something that made him say:

"Hold on a second."

The other two men looked right back at Jungkook.

Jimin was still trying to process what was going on, but the younger one crossed his arms as he stared intensely at that suspicious man.

The hunch he had had when the guy first walked in... The way he reacted when they first talked... How he refused to talk to Jungkook...

Jungkook went around his desk to get closer, without taking his eyes off the other man.

His assumptions just got reinforced the moment Yoongi took a step back.

Jungkook felt like reliving the same thing again, the same feelings, the same intuition.

The Alpha stood just a meter away from the other man, and, despite having no intention of hurting anybody, it was fair to say he looked menacing... Jimin still looked confused, though he could feel the hair on the back of his neck standing up as he felt Jungkook's scent denouncing how angry he was... And it was uncommon for him to feel like so.

He was somewhat pissed at that guy for having talked to him the way he did and for triggering Jimin's anxiety like that.

Next to each other, it was obvious how Jungkook looked bigger and stronger than the other one... However, that guy just stood there, without flinching, while Jimin stared at the other two, completely oblivious of what was happening.

It was subtle, but Jungkook was so focused on his face that he noticed him smelling the air, slightly twisting his nose, bothered the same way he did when he first entered the room.

It was a completely wild guess, but Jungkook just took it:

"You're an Omega."

Jimin's eyes widened at those words, in complete disbelief. He was so worried about his identity that he hadn't even thought of that hypothesis... Plus, he couldn't understand how Jungkook could come up with something like that, with no scent or anything else indicating it so, and still blurt it out so casually.

Yoongi stayed static.

The lack of an answer was the answer by itself.

His sharp cat-like eyes stared into him deeply... Eyes that also looked like they have probably seen a lot of shit throughout that life...

Jungkook stood in front of him threateningly, but he didn't move.

Actually, the other man showed a sarcastic smirk.

Jimin's shoulders went down as he relaxed, reasoning slowly coming back to him as he realized it too.

That stranger was not fighting Jungkook back, not even protesting such affirmation... Like he was moving in an unknown field, knowing that he could never have the upper hand... Like he always knew he would go into that room and trade his identity for something else more important.
