Despite the grievous wounds that plagued him, Jungkook stood his ground, ready to confront the approaching omega in its human guise. Yet, as the smaller being drew nearer, a delicate safflower scent enveloped the rogue, allaying his apprehension and calming his nerves. It was then that he allowed the omega to tend to his wounds, gazing upon the creature with azure eyes that seemed to mirror the tranquil ocean. He watched the omega's every move with the keen eye of a falcon, feeling the gentle touches of the omega's supple hands, and marveled at how he had never encountered such a gracious and kind omega before. Could it be that he had been cursed to live a life of solitude as a rogue? But at that moment, as the smaller wolf who was in his human form worked tirelessly to heal his wounds, Jungkook felt as though this lovely creature had freed him from his cursed existence.

As the omega completed his ministrations, Jungkook averted his gaze, unable to contain the grateful smile that tugged at the corners of his lips like the first buds of spring. Though the smaller could not perceive it in his human guise, the rogue gave a silent growl as an expression of gratitude and regard before departing, leaving behind a bewildered Jimin, gazing after the retreating figure with a gentle, curious smile like a rosebud unfurling to meet the dawn. Truly, it was a meeting that fate had ordained.

Their meetings began again, as though drawn together by some invisible force. Despite the fact that the rogue was in his wolf form and the omega was in his human form, they always fit together like two parts of a jigsaw.

This unforeseen encounter, the result of beautiful serendipity, would change the path of their lives forever.

Jimin awaited the arrival of the alpha wolf in the lush woodland one day, as was their routine, hoping to catch sight of the creature he had become so fond of. His senses were sharpened, alert to the familiar woody poetic aroma that had become a part of him. To his amazement, there was no rustle of foliage or the sound of paws pounding the earth in a frenzied gallop.

Instead, his gaze was pulled to a striking figure, a tall and attractive alpha whose tunic was smoothly draped over his strong frame. The sight of this deity-like person struck Jimin, his breath seizing in his throat at the mere sight of him.

Could this be the personification of the physique that his dear grandma mentioned in her stories of alpha deities? Jimin pursed his lips.

As the alpha's radiant smile graced his features, a legion of dainty butterflies erupted in the omega's core, their delicate wings flapping in excitement. With a confident yet apprehensive gait, the alpha strode closer, sending Jimin's heart aflutter with anticipation. At that moment, the omega's gaze drifted towards the alpha's hands, where a soft scarf was held with the utmost care - a tender emblem of the alpha's fondness. And as the realization dawned upon Jimin, like a celestial epiphany, he was struck by the understanding that the alpha was offering him a courtship, kindling a flicker of hope and joy within his heart.

Suddenly, the towering figure spoke with a voice as gentle as a protective nest and as commanding as a mighty alpha. Jimin's inner omega couldn't help but let out a delighted squeal as if it recognized the very essence of the being before him.

"I am Jungkook, and please do forgive me for appearing so suddenly in my human form. However, I sense that you already know me without the need for words by now, except for my name. And so, here I stand before you," the alpha spoke, swallowing down his nerves as he towered over the smaller omega, before gracefully dropping to one knee and asking, "Will you do me the honor of being my omega?"

With those words, Jimin knew deep down that he had found the one meant for him, the one who would cherish and protect him for all eternity.

And that was all Jimin ever wanted.

After then, the forest became a shelter for the lovers, a calm haven where they could spend time and bask in the glow of their love, hidden from the clamor of the outside world. The rustling leaves and birds' calming chirps contributed to the mood, enclosing them in a cocoon of peace. And as they walked hand in hand through the verdant maze, they felt themselves becoming one with nature, as if the woods had embraced them as their own. They sought shelter in the embrace of the forest, where their hearts could beat as one and their love could bloom in perfect harmony with the nature around them.
