One Step Closer - 40💕

207.

One week.

One entire week.

That was how long he hadn't heard from Jungkook. Jimin knew he was the one who gave an option to the omega, but he just didn't expect him to take it.

Jungkook hadn't texted him the next day or the day after. Or on the days after. But that didn't stop him from peering at his phone screen whenever he had the time. His wolf was pouty and sulky to the point the others began to notice.

So his friends had dragged him out for a drink. It had been a while since the six of them came here. Club Elite was exclusive to the purebred wolves from the upper class. With guaranteed privacy, good music, and drinks, this was a place where they could unwind.

The VIP rooms were on the third floor. The patrons could watch the live band through the one-sided glass wall from the ceiling to the floor. They also could have private parties here away from the prying eyes.

"Come on, bro!" Taehyung bumped into his shoulder. "Grumpy is Yoongi Boongi's trademark. Not yours." They sat on the three-seater couch, with Hoseok on the other side. "You're staring at your phone more than you should. That chic is really hot."

There was a new singer in the live band tonight, but Jimin's mind was elsewhere. He nursed his drink, barely sensing the taste. When the six of them got together, the conversations were always full of fun banters and industry gossip.

Today, however, Jimin wasn't listening to any of them. He was lost in his drink, staring at the amber liquid aimlessly.

Did he scare him off with the kiss? Why did he give him the option to walk away? Why was it bothering him so much? Wasn't this what he wanted?

Still, his mind kept returning to the doe-eyed omega and his scent. Why was this affecting him so much? Jungkook wasn't the first omega to turn him down.

Maybe Jungkook was affected by his pheromones when he allowed him to kiss him. He ran a hand over his face. This wasn't helping at all.

He downed the drink and frowned when he saw the bottle they ordered was already empty. He barely had two glasses. Jimin scowled.

"For someone who wanted to break off the engagement, you're too sulky," Yoongi commented.

"You're acting like Hoseok these days," Namjoon added. "At least he has the decency to admit he's gone bad for his beta."

Jimin scowled. "He's in love with his beta but I'm not."

"But this is affecting you more than it should," Yoongi said. "It's okay to admit it's more than just lust."

"It's just lust," Jimin griped. "And frustration. He's a forbidden fruit I cannot touch. Nothing more."

If it was someone else, he'd have shown up at their doorstep with a gift, trying to convince them why dating him was mutually beneficial. But Jungkook wasn't just anyone.

"Jimin-ah, cheer up! Look at all those omegas there." Taehyung pointed at the crowd. "Pick one, fuck, and move on."

"Don't want them." Jimin rolled his eyes, growling in annoyance. "I need another drink." He slammed the glass on the table. "And this conversation is off the table."

"Ah, jeez. Calm your balls, man!" Taehyung griped but hit the button to summon the staff serving them today. "You're behaving as if you're imprinted on him or something."

Huh?

Yoongi lifted a brow at him and Jimin gulped. Imprinting? That too just after a meeting. He didn't even know Jungkook's scent until much later. How could a purebred wolf imprint on a regular wolf? It was unheard of.
