How To Tame An Omega- yoonmin

37- how to have a first date

He's nervous, just as anyone would be when they're about to go on a date in less than thirty minutes. A first date. His very first date. A date with Yoongi, an alpha who somehow managed to thaw what Jimin thought was a frozen heart he possessed.

Yoongi, an alpha he likes back.

He likes an alpha. He likes Yoongi. Jimin would have never guessed that this would be his fate this school year. Dating anyone was a hard thing to guess, let alone an alpha. And on top of that, he made many new friends, tried many new things, and for a small while, fixed things with his dad. (Just to break them again, but hey, he's working on it.)

But besides nervousness, Jimin has a strange feeling. He doesn't know how to describe it, but it's a slight satisfaction. A feeling he's never really felt before. But as he stares at his very limited clothing options, his chest does something weird. It swells, and feels heavy for a second, and then he takes a deep breath and its light again. And slowly...his lips turn upward slightly.

He smiles. A small smile but it's a smile, nonetheless.

He's excited for this date. Though on the outside, he doesn't really show it, he is. This is something he's only seen in shows and movies. He never thought it'd be him. He never thought it'd finally be his turn to feel this kind of emotion. And for some reason, he feels compelled to kneel on the floor, in front of the closet.

He situates himself, shifting and resting his weight on his heels. Then he takes a deep breath, holds it for a few seconds just like his therapist taught him, and then he releases it. Slowly, he bows his head. This is something he's never done, and he isn't sure why now he feels compelled to do it, but he does.

"Mom..." he starts out shakily. "I have a date tonight."

He can vaguely imagine her face lighting up. Her high cheekbones reddening, her long dark hair and the warmest smile on her lips. She'd be so happy for him. She always joked that he'd win over the hearts of everyone he came across.

"I have a date with an alpha named Yoongi. I'm nervous, honestly. But I know you're watching and looking out for me. I'm scared to get hurt again. I'm scared to lose someone again."

He sighs, "and I don't know what to do. I really like Yoongi but...I don't want to get hurt. He makes me feel good. I can see myself in a relationship with him but it's still something I'm hesitant about. Dad is in a relationship, too, but I'm sure you know. I didn't like it at first but it's growing on me..."

Jimin had to realize that his father's choice of dating came after years of grieving and feeling alone. He realized that his father dating also benefited Jeongguk, who's never had another parental figure. It benefited Mr. Jeon, who needed a partner and was also experiencing loneliness. And while Jimin wanted to dislike him, Mr. Jeon never gave him a reason to dislike him. From  their relationship, Jimin had gotten a friend and maybe someday, a brother.

"I miss you a lot and dad does too. I think...you'd want him to be happy. I think you'd want me to be happy, too. So I'm gonna go on this date and be happy."

His phone vibrates, probably a text from Yoongi. Jimin mumbles a quick "I love you" to his mother and stands up. He grabs a sweater from his closet and grabs his phone off the bed. Yoongi had texted him saying that he was on the way. Jimin isn't even dressed yet.

The alpha had asked him to dress comfortably. So he has on black jeans and a dark great sweater in his hands. Maybe this outfit is too dark? Too casual? Too comfortable? He sighs, looking back at his closet. He barely has clothes, especially clothes fit for a date. Everything he owns is dark or neutral colors. Maybe he's overthinking? But isn't it okay to overthink on the first date? And where are they going? What if they're going out to dinner? But if they're going out to dinner, Yoongi would've told him to dress better.
