8.2 Animated felines, disillusioned bear

Walking down the street to shop for stationery, books and other things, Taehyung notices the black car where he has seen Jimin getting in and out. Out of curiosity and since he has time to spare, he decides to get closer. To find out if it is Jin, a relative of his or who the car is about.

He parks in a restaurant and at first he is surprised by how well groomed Jimin is. Hair in a flashy hairstyle, dress pants, black heels with red soles and a strappy blouse paired with a white faux fur coat. Jimin smiles broadly at the man who offers him his arm.

Taehyung is sure he is a lion beastman by the hair that is not only abundant, but also the position of the ears. Tall, stocky and talking to him as they go.

He enters the restaurant. It is two o'clock in the afternoon, he was planning to eat a Tteokbokki on the way to where he parked his car. Taehyung has money, he can afford to eat here, spy what's going on and it's no problem. He usually dresses well, so he doesn't clash with the space. Wearing slacks and dress shoes, a black shirt and on top of that a beige plaid coat that he put on just to come inside.

It's still too hot outside .

. . .

"I proposed you to be the teacher for that class. Why aren't you going to take it?"

"Because I like Korea, I like what I have here and I don't know if they're going to let me come back if I do." the cat replies, wagging his finger along the edge of the crystal glass.

"I can help you with that. I can add you to my pack and you would have immunity to everything."

"I know, Namjoon, but I don't want to join someone who doesn't love me like that" The lion beastman shrugs. "I also have someone in mind, though I'm not in his."

"Then what's the use?" asks Namjoon confused and half grumpy. "Romance can come up. I want my four omegas. I've killed for them at this point" Jimin laughs through his nose. Of course he knows. Namjoon is one of those perfect Alphas that anyone would want in their life. "I sign you a release to prove you're independent of me regardless and that's the end of the problem."

"Nam, I appreciate that you want to keep taking care of me, but there's no need. I can manage on my own, really."

Namjoon squints his eyes and wags his tail, wary. Jimin arrived at the school he had barely entered. He's a year older than him, but because of moving problems and such, they started at the same time. It was not complicated for him to include him in his circle and likewise, to take care of him from the crushing hierarchy that forms in American high schools.

If you're an Omega with no one to take care of you, tough luck: you'll be the Omega of everyone who wants you, and if you don't run far enough, you'll end up possibly dropping out of school to get pregnant.

It's natural for a lion to have up to five mates. Indifferent to sex or caste. Namjoon had a pride of six, where Jimin figured as the smallest and most lost, unprotected and fragile of them all. The tiny Ragdoll cat who barely knew English. The years, context and environment may change, what will not change is that Namjoon adores him. It is his little kitty that must help if necessary and as a good friendship, put on the table opportunities that Jimin is not able to find out.

Like the one that came until a couple of days ago.

"I know you can alone, the problem is that you can't forever alone. We're felines, it's in our nature to merit a lot of social contact" Namjoon retorts and Jimin pouts, sipping from the wine glass. "Not to mention, if that's the case with that person, you should just leave it at that and find someone else."

"It's just that I'm sure he wants to be with me, he's just not able to process it."

"How do you know?"
