61 - Never said that

Even when his omega called him 'stupid', Jungkook still felt like he could listen to this ethereal voice for a lifetime...

Goodness, he was such a goner, wasn't he?

He could not resist burying his nose into the omega's fluffy hair, inhaling the faint scent of his pheromones that still lingered in the air. And amidst the thick disinfectant smell in the air, it was almost divine.

Next, Jungkook's question came out in the softest of exhales, "Aren't you... afraid?" 'Afraid that I will suddenly lose control and try to kill you again?' Jungkook did not say the last sentence out loud, but his instinct told him that Jimin would understand what he wanted to say.

Jimin scoffed lightly and that puff of warm air fell onto Jungkook's skin akin to a teasing and gentle caress, causing his heart to tickle. The omega's voice came out slightly muffled. "Hyung, you're so stupid. If I am afraid of you, do you think I will still be here right now?"

There was more that Jimin did not say though, for fear that he would cause Jungkook to go into shock.

No matter if it was ten years ago or now, he had never been afraid of Jungkook. Wary and apprehensive, yes. After all, it was not easy for him to trust another person again after the abuse he had gone through. However, after he went through a period of observation and confirmed that Jungkook did not mean him any harm, Jimin started to lower his defense.

He respected Jungkook, revered him, admired him, worshiped him, and later, yearned for him... but not afraid. Never. Even if Jungkook really wanted to kill him earlier, he would still gladly offer his life.

He had been waiting for so long. Not to mention those seven years when Jungkook went missing, just counting from when he discovered Jungkook's plight to the time when he managed to stabilize him, Jimin had been waiting for so damn long.

There was a saying that if you have been waiting for something or someone for years, then one or two additional days will not matter. But he firmly disagreed with this. You have been waiting for years, now that the person is right in front of you, how can you still wait for one or two days?

Let alone days, Jimin was not even willing to wait for hours. Even if he had to walk through the sea of roaring flames and flying swords, he would willingly endure it in exchange for being with Jungkook one second earlier.

And now that he could touch and hug Jungkook as he pleased, why would he still hold himself back?

Jungkook was taken aback, then he let out a low laugh. This time, it was a genuine laughter that came from the bottom of his heart. It was unbelievable how Jimin's simple retort could dispel the gloom in his heart so easily. Just like magic. A magic that was specially created just for him. "You're right..." he said. "It's me who is being stupid."

During the time when he was not lucid, he seemed to sense someone approaching him dauntlessly. No matter how hard Jungkook pushed him away, he still bounced back and even pressed Jungkook underneath him...

His omega was not only beautiful and fierce, but also bold and courageous.

As soon as the realization that this perfect omega was his true mate crossed his mind, Jungkook felt like something had struck him hard on the chest and his eyes welled up slightly. He even thought that all of the misfortunes he had gone through -- the memory loss, the hideous scars all over his body, and now this unfortunate accident -- all of them had been exchanged for the chance to meet him. For the luck to have this perfect little omega as his mate.

Jungkook's throat constricted sharply and his heart was full to the point of bursting, brimming with all the adoration and affection he felt for this man. He moved to adjust Jimin's position and hugged the omega closer to his chest, and breathed, "I love you..."
