Anyone but you

A parents wish

Jungkook sighed then opened the door to his parents house. They had moved from the house they had lived in when Suri was alive as they couldn't stand seeing where she died everyday.
This house was modern with a forest at the back and not too far from his place.
"Jungkook how nice of you to visit! Come in...coffee?"
"Yes please mum, is dad home?"
"Yes out in the garden reading, go, I'll bring your coffee."
"Hi son to what do we owe this pleasure?"
"Er hi dad, can we wait til mum comes, I need you both to hear this."
His father nodded, Jungkook took the tray of coffee from his mother and they all sat down.
"I...er......, when Suri died....., I blamed Jimin for it,"
"Jimin? But it wasn't Jimins fault? Why did you blame him?"
"Because I asked Suri why she had gone out and she said Jimin."
"No.., it wasn't Jimin at all,"
"Dad you weren't there,she definitely said Jimin, I hated him,.....I made him suffer at school, nobody was allowed near him....."
"Oh Jungkook how could you...." His mother whispered.
"You should have told us son, I thought you two had just not coped with the trauma and stopped being friends....., if we had known we could have set you straight."
"But....., I'm sorry but I believe wholeheartedly that Suri would have been here if it wasn't for Jimin..., she said his name, I know I was young but you don't forget your dying sisters last words.!"
"Jungkook at that time you had a fever I'm surprised you managed to hit him with my gun...., you collapsed after....."
Jungkook stood up pacing," why doesn't anyone believe me, even Namjoon told me off, I've hated Jimin for so long but......, Namjoon said he went abroad because of me, my bullying......, he didn't make friends with people because of me......, even though he's guilty it doesn't sit well with me and now I have the added problem."
"Jungkook what's going on here, you've never freely spoken of your sister but now we are hearing all this, we didn't bring you up to be a bully...., Jimin was always timid as it was, Suri made fun of him all the time about it, we used to tell her off, she would have been an alpha too I think while Jimin is an omega a lot more timid, and what problem?" His mother asked.
"Jimins back, I saw him but he ran off but..." he sighed," it turns out he's my mate....."
"What!" Both his parents said.
"Yer I know,Karma is a bitch, he's wanting to leave even though he knows and me...., I want him even though I hate him, sick isn't it......."
"Jungkook you can't deny your mate, which shows how scared of you Jimin must be....., if he can fight the overwhelming urge to be with you then it means his fear is stronger. As for you hating him,Jisoo I'm going to show him the tape, it's the only way he will see."
Jungkooks wife nodded at her husband.
"You have to but, I won't watch with you, it breaks my heart."
Jungkooks father got up and hugged her then told Jungkook to go with him to the study.
"What is it dad?"
"I used to have video cameras installed in our old house, we used them as security and also for the odd times we had to leave you both ,like that night. We had gone out hunting the rogue, he'd already killed an omega and we were told he was in the area. Jimins parents dropped him at ours so we could go with the pack to hunt him. We told you all to stay inside until we got back, you had a fever and were asleep on the sofa.Jimin sat with you cooling you with a flannel, he was so small but told us he would take care of 'Kookie' and Suri. The rest well ..., I had the tape copied onto a usb ,well watch for yourself."
Jungkooks father plugged the usb in and Jungkook suddenly saw his old home
He heard the parents tell them all to stay inside. He saw himself laying on a sofa covered in a blanket with Jimin sitting on the floor crossed legged, putting a flannel on his head and saying' get better soon Kookie your my bestest friend in all the world.'
Suri came into the room crossing her arms.
"I'm bored let's go to the park"
"No Suri we were told to stay indoors"
"I want to go out!"
"We can't Jungkook is ill we can look after him,"
"No let's go out..."
"But the bad wolf is out there that's why our parents have gone out to get him..."
"Which means he won't be here, your just a scaredy cat but I'm the alphas daughter, I'm going!"
"No Suri......"
The little girl stomped off out the front door, Jimin shouting at her not to go then he ran after her, you could catch sounds and glimpses of what happened next, Jimin freezing on the steps a scream and then the rogue stomping towards him. Jungkook saw himself stagger up and go to a cabinet where his father kept a gun then he stumbled to the door pushing it wide he raised his arm and shot...., the rest he knew.
"Turn it off, please......"
He slumped in a chair, Jimin had told the truth all along , he could tell he'd done his best to stop his sister and how he'd frozen in fear...., Suri had been trying to tell her brother to check Jimin was ok ,not accuse him.
He slumped his head in his hands, angry at himself for not listening to the other.
"What do I do dad, I really fucked up,"
"Well first you apologise, beg his forgiveness and then try to make amends, I will get your mother to invite him over."
"But he won't talk to me."
"Then we put you in a room together where he will have to."
"Ok get mum to invite him tomorrow, I'm gonna go now...."
"Ok son, go say goodbye to your mother first."
Jungkook found his mother in the kitchen he hugged her and explained his father would tell her what she needed to know before going out the door .
He went home and walked to a drinks cabinet pouring himself a large whisky as he stared outside,
jungkook you well and truly fucked up.
Jimins back ached he'd got rid of more things to charity shops and had someone come round to collect the furniture. Stuff he wanted to keep he put in a storage box or in a small room.
His phone rang.
"Hello ?"
"Jiminee is that you, why didn't you tell us you were back?"
"Mrs Jeon.....?"
"Yes dear, I know your probably busy but I wondered if you could pop in tomorrow to chat, it's so long since we saw you..."
"I um......"
"Please Jimin, your parents used to tell us all about you after their visits,we miss them terribly as must you, please say you'll come for afternoon tea?"
"Erm....sure,can you text your address as mum said you moved?"
"Of course dear , thank you so much, I'll message the address ...bye,"
The phone clicked off,Jimin sighed,at least Jungkook would be at work.
Jimin carried on working then made a meal before showering and going to bed. He suddenly sat up rushing to his suitcase and searching,
"Damn it I forgot my suppressants ,still maybe I'll be back home before my heat kicks in..., but just in case I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow."
He got into bed and fell sound asleep until the nightmare woke him up, he got up washing his face then read for a bit before tiredly dropping back to sleep.
It was nearly noon when he woke up again and he hurriedly got up and washed and dressed going out to the car and driving into town to a chemist.
"Yes sir how can I help you?"
"Er hi I'm here for a short while but forgot to pack my suppressants to control my heat can I buy some please."
The assistant looked at him," I'm sorry sir but they are illegal here."
"What,really, but I can get them easily abroad?"
"I'm really sorry sir but it's been found that they can interfere with the reproductive system over time."
"What! Nobody has told me that....."
"Maybe you should get a health check?"
"Er yes,thank you,is there anything that may ease the symptoms?"
The assistant coughed ,"er only the usual method sir"
Jimin blushed and nodded leaving quickly.
He sat in his car, the usual method meant sex, usually if not mated you hooked up with someone in the same predicament but Jimin never had, he didn't feel able to do it with a stranger and his acquaintances were just other dance school teachers. He was still a virgin, when he'd had his first heat he'd been scared,it had been so painful then he found out about the suppressants but could he carry on taking them if they were harming his body?
He didn't realise how long he had sat there but when he glanced at his watch he realised he needed to get going if he was to get to the Jeons .
He drew up outside the house appreciating the way it blended with the surroundings.
He reached into the car for the flowers he had stopped to buy and went to the front door ringing the bell.
"Jimin!!! Oh my gosh your beautiful or should I say handsome for a man?"
Mrs Jeon pulled him inside hugging him.
"Jimin hello so nice to see you again, we missed that bright smile."
Mr Jeon shook his hand.
"Thank you for inviting me, these are for you," Jimin said passing the flowers.
"Oh too kind, come let's sit on the patio, I'll bring the tea and food there."
"Do you want some help?" Jimin asked.
"No thank you, I've got it all prepared,someone will help bring it out."
Jimin nodded going outside with her husband.
"Jimin you know how sorry we are about your parents, I know I spoke to you on the phone but still...., they were like family to us too."
"T-thank you sir...."
"So.......,You saw Jungkook then?"
"Oh Erm yes........"
"Look he has told us all about what he did to you when you were young, he honestly thought Suri was telling him you told her to go out, I had to show him the video  we had to prove he got it wrong, he's really ashamed of himself and wants to make amends."
"I...er.....,look I won't be here long he doesn't need to see me, I'm sure he has things to do."
"But I want to...," a voice behind him said and he jumped recognising it and slowly turning to see Jungkook carrying a tray his mother another.
Jimin ignored Jungkook and went to take the tray from his mother.
"Why thank you Jimin, such a sweet boy, please sit down."
Jimin sat down nervously as Mrs Jeon poured the tea and served out some sandwiches and little cakes.
Jimin nibbleed on a sandwich which might as well have been cardboard he was so nervous.
Jungkook leaned towards him stopping as he saw Jimin flinch.
"Sorry," Jimin said embaressed.
Jungkooks parents stared at each other then Jungkook  urging him to speak.
"Er Jumin...., I made a bad mistake and treated you badly, I'm sorry for what I did and for making others avoid you, it was shameful and inconsiderate,please forgive me," he had stood up and bowed and his parents too stood and bowed.
"Forgive us Jimin too for not seeing your pain, your life hasn't been easy, once upon a time we wished you and Suri would get together but now.....Jungkook says your his mate,so we can still be joined as a family."
Jimin stood backing away slightly.
"Please sir, ma'am you shouldn't bow to me, Jungkook isn't totally wrong I failed to stop Suri, I shouldn't have let her rush out, you shouldn't take any heed of me I'm no good.
Jungkook...., I...., I thought we were friends but you didn't want to hear my words, I thought after a while that things would get better between us but it was obviously a fragile friendship.
This....,mate thing......, I'm sure you will get a better one, I'm leaving soon and you can all forget that I was ever here you can move on from the past as I'm afraid our parents wishes will never be fulfilled, excuse me but I think it's better I go."
He bowed and rushed out, Jungkook chasing after him.
He got in his car slamming the locks on as he tried to get the key in the ignition.
"Open the door Jimin, we need to talk."
"No go away......."
"God Damn it Jimin what are you afraid of?"
"You, this pull between us everything, leave me alone!!"
He reversed then shot past Jungkook who's eyes flashed darkly as he stood there angrily until Jimin could no longer see him in his rear view mirror.
