Fate (Jikook/Kookmin)- Complete

2

Three months have passed, and Jungkook seems to have resumed his life as if nothing happened. He continues with his usual routines, his focus on Yugyeom and his future. Meanwhile, Jimin has been struggling. He’s given up his favorite sport and is now preparing to leave college, unable to find the motivation or strength to continue.

Yoongi, Jimin's roommate and best friend, had always been perceptive. Recently, he noticed a distinct change in Jimin's scent—a mix of sweetness and bitterness that seemed out of place. Jimin, who had been careful to hide both his mating mark and the changes in his body, was unable to mask the new, unusual smell that was becoming more pronounced.

"What the hell with your strange smell?"

Yoongi's question cut through the room, his tone a mix of concern and confusion. He had been observing Jimin's behavior and physical changes, and the smell was just the latest red flag.  He had been trying to keep everything under control, but now, the scent that emanated from him was betraying his efforts to remain discreet.

Jimin’s composure crumbles as the weight of his situation overwhelms him. He collapses into Yoongi’s arms, his sobs breaking the silence that had settled between them. The dam of his emotions bursts open, and he clings to Yoongi, seeking comfort and support. Yoongi holds Jimin tightly, his own concern deepening as he feels Jimin’s distress. He gently rubs Jimin’s back, offering what solace he can.

“What happened to you, Chim? I know you’ve been acting strangely these past few months. Tell me everything. I’ll help you.”

Jimin’s voice is muffled against Yoongi’s shoulder as he tries to explain through his tears. “I didn’t know how to tell you

Jimin’s transformation from a vibrant, energetic student to someone who barely engages with others hasn’t gone unnoticed. His sudden withdrawal from basketball and his tendency to keep to himself have sparked concern among his friends and teammates. They’ve seen the stark change in his demeanor but have received no explanation from him. Despite their attempts to reach out, Jimin remains distant, struggling with his own turmoil and focusing on managing his life.

His friends and teammates, while worried, have been left without answers, unable to fully grasp what’s going on in his life.

As for Jungkook, he has been deliberately avoiding Jimin. The weight of their shared past and the awkwardness of their unresolved situation have made their interactions strained. Jungkook is preparing for his upcoming marriage to Yugyeom, and his focus is on his future with his fiancée. This has led him to keep his distance from Jimin, both to avoid complicating things further and to concentrate on his commitment. Jungkook’s avoidance, while understandable given his situation, adds to Jimin’s sense of isolation. The upcoming marriage, and the fact that Jungkook is moving forward with his life, only heightens Jimin’s feelings of abandonment and confusion.

"I-I'm p-pregnant...H-hyung... I'm pregnant."

Yoongi’s hand freezes on Jimin’s back as the weight of Jimin’s revelation hits him. The shock in Yoongi’s eyes is evident as he processes Jimin’s admission.

“Is he Jungkook?”

Yoongi asks, his voice trembling with a mix of concern and disbelief. He needs to understand the full extent of the situation, and Jimin’s confirmation of Jungkook’s involvement adds a new layer of complexity. Jimin nods, tears welling up in his eyes again.

Yoongi’s heart aches as he hears Jimin’s loud cry, understanding the depth of his friend’s pain and the weight of the situation. He had sensed that something was wrong when Jimin abruptly quit basketball and withdrew from his usual activities. The sudden change in Jimin’s behavior and the absence of both Jimin and Jungkook from their group gatherings had raised red flags. Yoongi reflects on the subtle shifts he’d observed: Jungkook’s avoidance of Jimin, their absence from social events, and the strained atmosphere between them. He realizes now that these changes were part of a larger, more troubling situation.

Yoongi’s face hardens with resolve as he hears Jimin’s anguished cry. The instinct to protect his best friend is strong, and the pain Jimin is experiencing fuels Yoongi’s anger. His protective nature kicks in, and he feels a surge of urgency to take action against Jungkook for what has happened.

“I will kill him,” Yoongi declares, his voice steely with determination.

Jimin, still sobbing, looks up at Yoongi, his own anger and hurt evident. “But it’s not his fault entirely,” Jimin says, trying to reason despite his distress. “There’s more to this situation than just him.”

Jimin’s confession about the night at the party and the circumstances that led to his current situation provides Yoongi with a clearer understanding of what happened. After hearing the full story, Yoongi realizes that it’s not solely Jungkook’s fault but rather a series of unfortunate events and poor timing that led to the situation. Yoongi’s heart aches for Jimin as he sees how deeply distressed and overwhelmed he is. The complexity of the situation makes it clear that placing blame won’t solve anything; instead, they need to focus on how to move forward.

“H-hyung,” Jimin says, his voice trembling with vulnerability. “What should I do? I-I can’t go through this alone.”

Yoongi holds Jimin tightly, his own anger and determination clear as he listens to his friend’s anguish. Jimin’s tears and the pain of watching Jungkook move on with another omega while he carries their child weigh heavily on Yoongi. The reality of Jimin’s situation and the potential danger if Jungkook proceeds with his marriage to Yugyeom adds urgency to Yoongi’s resolve.

“Jimin,” Yoongi says firmly, “you’ve been through so much, and you deserve more than to be left suffering alone. Jungkook can’t just move on with his life and ignore the consequences of his actions. He needs to take responsibility for what’s happened.”
