❝Different Sides❞ ━━━Jikook (C)

45

Jimin opens his eyes slowly, his mind still fuzzy as the strong smell of sour pheromones reaches his nose. He sits up from the laying position, his legs and hands are tied. But all the fuzziness in his mind vanished, when his eyes fell on the two figures in the room.

"Appa…eomma."

Jimin tears fall seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The couple's tears also fall seeing Jimin as they forward to hug the boy, but the chains around their hands and legs prevent them from moving forward.

"Jimin…son. Are you okay?"

Taehyung asks, his eyes moisturizing more seeing his son-in-law after two years.

"Eomma… I'm okay… and you both are a-alive."

Jimin stutters, his voice filled with happiness, seeing his mate's parents are alive.

"We both are alive. Yeonjun tricked us and locked us in the secret basement."

Beopheung said, his jaw clenching for not suspecting Yeonjun ever. He thought the omega was naive, but his thoughts were broken when Yeonjun drugged them and locked them.

"We knew; he spread fake news of our suicide with his father's help. But why you're here, son? He told us he wouldn't harm you as Taemin likes you."

Taehyung said, his jaw clenching for mentioning Jimin and his evil stepson in the same sentence, but the older omega wants his son-in-law's safety.

"I–..."

Even before Jimin could open his mouth, the door burst open, revealing Yeonjun, and behind him stands Jake, the second in command.

"Oh! What a lovely sight. Finally reunited with your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Oops, my bad, your soon-to-be ex-mother-in-law because as soon as my Taemin wakes up, he'll mate you by your choice or by force; it doesn't matter because I had enough of your wh̶o̶ring around."

Yeonjun said, and a snarl left Taehyung's lips for calling his son-in-law with names.

"Shut your mouth, Yeonjun. The day I'm free from your clutches, I'll kill you for harming my son, my husband, and my son-in-law. Jimin will always belong to Jungkook."

Taehyung said, and Yeonjun laughed loudly.

"Oh really! It's been only 3 years, and you look at his neck full of other alpha marks, and you expect him to always belong to Jungkook. It's your only dream, omega, because I'll make sure my son mates him and rules over this kingdom. It's your punishment, Beopheung, for always choosing Taehyung and your son over me and my son."

Yeonjun said before walking out of the basement with Jake following him from behind. Yeonjun is still keeping them alive to see them miserable always.

Beopheung clenches his jaw and looks down on the floor with guilt and anger. He knew he was at fault for ignoring Yeonjun because his heart always belongs to Taehyung, but he never discriminates between Taemin and Jungkook; it's Yeonjun whose hatred blinded him to think every decision his husband took is against Taemin.

"Son, are you seeing someone? If you like him, tell us. We'll do anything to make sure you escape from here and be with your desire, alpha."

Taehyung broke the silence, knowing Jungkook would also want Jimin's happiness. The young omega immediately looks at his mother-in-law and gives him a teary smile, grateful to have a kind and open-minded mother-in-law.

"I have mated, eomma. Jun—"

Jimin is cut off by his father-in-law.

"Really son? Then why are you here? Why you're not with your alpha. Tell Yeonjun, you have mated, and any other alpha can't claim you."

Beopheung said, genuinely happy for the omega.

"We’re really happy for you, Jimin. I know Jungkook would love to see you happy."

Taehyung said, his eyes getting teary while remembering his son.

"Eomma, appa. Let me speak. Jungkook Hyung is alive, and I'm marked by him. I'm Hyung's mate."

Jimin said a gasp left Beopheung lips while Taehyung burst into a cry. His son is alive; he couldn't believe that.
