17. Into The Night

"Where's Jungkook?" Mrs. Park looked behind Jimin in haste after seeing her son's face as he returned from the door.

"He's gone," Jimin said, picking up his car keys, not caring for the blazer that he had taken off. "There was a little misunderstanding and he needs to hear me out. I will be back. Don't wait and go to sleep." He folded the sleeves of his shirt and lurched out in the cold before he could be interrogated.

Feeling heat radiating off his body, he drove to Jungkook's place and knocked at the apartment door. When the omega actually answered, it was much to Jimin's surprise. Without saying anything, Jungkook turned around and walked back inside the house, letting Jimin hang by himself.

"We need to talk."

Jungkook heard and he nodded, keeping his back on Jimin and looking straight ahead. He could tell Jimin closed the door behind them and walked closer. "I have been relying on professional help for my ruts for a very long time... And you obviously know that." Jimin sighed. "When I decided to move here, I purchased a long-term membership from them. She was only checking up on me as I am their customer. I hadn't had the chance to cancel the subscription yet with so much taking up a place in my schedule. I should have."

Jungkook kept tapping his foot on the floor, wanting to say that he believed Jimin, but somehow, his gut was raw and he felt that empty ache in his heart. The two hadn't slept together except that one time when it became absolutely necessary. A sob tore out of the omega and he was bawling, crying hard at the helplessness. His alpha boyfriend didn't consider him ready to share his ruts with him. 

Jimin immediately pulled him into his chest and Jungkook did what he mostly did, tucked his head under the alpha's chin and made himself smaller, closing his fists and placing them between their bodies. "Stop crying, Jungkook, please. Do you trust me that I am not lying?" Asked Jimin.

Jungkook nodded again.

"I should've discussed this with you by now. I am sorry. I am so sorry that it was a miss from my side. Anything of that sort won't happen again." The alpha soothed Jungkook's back, running his hand to his spine, moving it up until his neck, and slowly massaging his skin. He could understand that the omega was insecure now. That was how the omegas were. When they were in heat, they were vulnerable, and they put their trust into their alphas, and that was why it was much more dangerous for them in case they stumbled upon psychopaths if they weren't mated, but with alphas, it was entirely opposite. They were stronger and much more possessive during their ruts, and hence their omegas expected them to be with them.

"I trust you," Jungkook voiced softly. "I am not blaming you. I was jealous and I thought about it... And I felt l-left out. I c-can't help it."

Jimin's eyes passed over with something akin to dread and regret. How could he let it happen? Not making love with Jungkook was the decision he took first, except for the heat one time, and consulted with the omega later, in order to lull him into the comfort of the new and speedy relationship. The two were still knowing about each other. Jungkook was bound to think that he wasn't interested in having an intimate relationship with him. He raised Jungkook's face by cupping his cheeks, his thumbs swiping across the adorable cheeks to wipe the tears.

He looked into Jungkook's eyes, seeing nothing but chaos in them, which felt like a tug of intense pain. He touched Jungkook's lips with his and just as he did, Jungkook shuddered, suddenly stopping the sobs. Jimin didn't let Jungkook ease into it and kissed him again, this time, deeper, a bit rougher with pressure.

Jungkook could tell Jimin's scent was stronger, more drastic than he had ever felt before. He kissed back with urgency, letting the insecurities shush inside him, making his mind connect with the sensations of his body, believing Jimin's words. He breathed heavily when he was lifted up gently and Jimin paced over to the couch before he put him down. "Is it okay if I spend my night... Here? I don't want to be in your bedroom."
