MY ALPHA'S TOUCH || JIKOOK ✅

15

JUNGKOOK POV

In the worst omega in the universe.

My alpha is clearly going through a tough time right now and I abandon him to take the easy path.

The fact is, I haven't been getting much sleep at all lately.

I don't know what the problem is but I've been waking up a lot more frequently and it's nearly impossible to fall asleep.

Add a potential haunting to the mix and any chance of rest flies right out the window.

I know my imagination is probably being a little overactive with the whole "haunting" thing.

I'm almost certain that after a day or two, I'll be missing Jimin so badly that I won't be able to spend another minute without him.

Until then, I need to at least give myself a decent night's rest.

I know there are people out there who think my job doesn't entail very much.

But they're wrong.

Even though I'm not a counselor or social worker to the omegas who come to us, my role at Omega House is still vital to
its success.

I take my work very seriously and in order to operate at peak condition, I need sleep.

Jimin understands that.

He tells me as much every morning before I leave for work.

I can tell he's nervous though and I know he's probably dreading this separation as
much as I am.

I'll call him tonight and talk to him until I fall asleep, just like
I do every night.

Hopefully, that'll help alleviate some of his fears.

When I get to work, everything seems to be in full swing.

It took me a while to get used to arriving at Omega House after everyone else was already awake.

After years of sleeping within its walls, it's an interesting change to come in with so much noise and movement.

It'll be strange to go back to
the old routine after being
away for so long.

Before I'm through the front door, I'm already making a mental checklist of things I
need to get done today.

By the time I reach the main office to clock in, I can tell it's going to be a longer day than
I first thought.

I barely get a moment to
myself for the rest of the day.

There's always something else
to do and someone else to help.

The constant stream of work
keeps my mind busy and focused on something other than my poor, miserable alpha.

I keep checking my phone for texts throughout the day but there's nothing.

He's never been much for regular texting, so I shouldn't be surprised.

But despite my efforts to reassure myself, it feels hollow.

By the end of the day, I'm mentally and physically drained.

But I'm still dreading going to bed alone.

I almost give in and head back home to apologize to Jimin for even considering sleeping anywhere other than in his arms.

"Hey, so...I heard you're staying here tonight?"

Jai's voice catches me off
guard as I sit on the edge of
the bed in my old room.

I look up at him as he leans in the doorway. "Yeah."
