THE DAWN - VMIN ONE SHOTS

MY LOVE FOR YOU 2

Jimin had no way of knowing the exact day Taehyung was supposed to enter his rut.

Still, after the day he closed the door on Taehyung's face, his omega was wary, anticipating/ waiting for the day to come. Jimin doesn't want to think what that tells about him.

Alpha's enter their full cycle about 6-7 days from the day they first start showing symptoms of pre rut. Jimin's omega has been restless ever since the day he didn't find a clumsy alpha by his doorstep because that's how Taehyung had been before Jimin had agreed (a bit hesitantly, but who is he kidding) to a one-night stand.

There was no stuttering doe eyed big puppy waiting to ambush him on his daily commute, nor were there any scents of bubbly, pleasant lavender lingering in a two-mile distance of the places he went.

It's lost on Jimin how he never noticed the heavy undertones of smoky lavender with rosemary in the air until a bashful Taehyung with burning red cheeks and sweaty body, clad in an oversized sweater and baggy pants, was seen lurking around the places he went.

The sweet lavender wasn't what first caught his attention. It has been weeks since the day of Taehyung's presentation, and up to then the alpha's scent was muted, floral with subtle notes of spice. It takes time for the scent glands in their body to switch from the quiescence to full activity, the progress often tiring and lasting for weeks.

Taehyung had looked exhausted when Jimin saw him the first time after his presentation. They didn't grow up together, separated by the giant walls of irrational beliefs as pups, which only got bigger and more unbearable by the time they both reached adolescence.

Taehyung and him have lived their whole life side by side, but never too close to cross each other's path. As a pup, Taehyung was the tiniest, drumstick arms with ears too big for his small face and infinite contagious energy that got other kids going. At the sweet age of eighteen, Taehyung had outgrown almost a dozen of the wolves their age. The lean frame, big ears and unkempt unruly hair got replaced by lean muscles, sharp jawline and smooth ebony hair that curls elegantly, hiding his pretty eyes. The thing that didn't stop popping up was his clumsiness. Always messy. And Jimin couldn't be endeared more.

Unpresented or not, Taehyung had suitors lining up for him. Then and now. It never stopped.

After Taehyung became an alpha, it looked as if he was shouldering an unseen heavy boulder, Taehyung's normal radiant handsome face devoid of his infectious smile, eye bags prominent and feet dragging behind him. In some way, Taehyung had looked smaller than everyone, even with his large physique. A fleeting desire to wrap the alpha in his arms and pet his hair had shaken Jimin from his core. It only lasted for a short time though because he was quick to shove it away.

It was around then, the scent of soft, intriguing and delicate rose Mary had Jimin's omega stirring inside him. Not just rose Mary, an extra peculiar essence with it was also creating a havoc in him.

It was alarmingly fast his suppressed defenses rose to existence. Up to the time, no one was able to cause his wolf to react to them. What's dreadful was it wasn't just his wolf who was affected.

Granting that, it was unusual for his wolf to respond to a scent outside his heat, he didn't think it was weird to get his curious omega involved in locating the mysterious person with such an evocative smell.

Jimin tried searching through the crowds for the source of this fragrant evergreen but came up unsuccessful because no one in particular stood up. Except the alpha with thick eyebrows and a unique boxy smile, who, by the bye, was eyeing him discreetly in the guise of playing with the pups on the street.
