JIMIN POV

The following morning...

Jimin's stomach turned before
his eyes ever opened.

He raced for the toilet, slipping on the bathroom rug as he slid onto his knees and puked his guts out.

Once his stomach was empty,
he rested his forehead on the cool rim of the toilet, waiting
for the nausea to pass.

When he finally rose, he wet
a clean washcloth and wiped
his mouth and face.

Lifting his stare to the mirror, a whisper glided through his mind.

His stare went down to his
flat stomach.

Oh fuck.

On the way in to work, he stopped into a pharmacy and picked up a pregnancy test.

When he arrived at work, he peed on the stick and set it on the counter before collecting
the vases of dead flowers and discarding them feeling guilty that he hadn't found some
where to donate them after all.

Tae slipped into his office, a grand smile on his face.

"I didn't expect you to be here today, Some honeymoon."

"My brother really needs to
get his shit together."

"No honeymoon." He said,
not sure how much he should
tell Tae.

"I have too much to do
around here anyway."

"Well, it was kind of a spur of
the moment thing. Maybe you two lovebirds can find some
time soon to go away together."

Tae crossed the room and grabbed one of the vases of
half-withering flowers.

"Can I take this one? It would make a great still-life."

"A still-life? That doesn't sound like you, Mr. Perfect."

Tae smiled. "It's withering in a day or two, it'll be worse."

"Painting a vase full of half-rotting flowers is very much
my aesthetic."

He chuckled under his breath.

"Have at it." His stare went to the bathroom, wondering what the test sitting on the counter would soon tell him.

"Why so glum?"

He's attention turned to Tae.

"Hmm?"

"Glum... you don't look happy."

"Shouldn't you be happy?" Tae pushed some of his long violet hair over one shoulder before sarcastically adding.

"Omegas are supposed to be
soo happy to finally be mated and protected by the big,
strong alphas, aren't we?"

Jimin sat down on a stool.

"You do realize we only mated because hoseok was
blackmailing him, right?"

Tae's eyes widened and he
set the flowers down.

"Wait... what?"

A smile crossed his lips.

"I need deets."

He wasn't in the mood but he'd already opened his big mouth.

"I was born in the Eastern Provinces... I'm living here illegally... well, was living here illegally. hoseok found out and told Jungkook he'd have me shipped off back east unless
your brother mated him."

"Instead, he mated me so he didn't have to mate hoseok
and I wouldn't be shipped off."

"Because now you're a citizen through your mating to him."
