Closer than this

S.O.S

Jimin frowned reading the text,what had happened?
He dialled a number,
"Jimin!Thank god ! "
"Sheuna...what's wrong?"
"Everything...Jimin they are making me marry!"
"What?!"
"Our parents....they are worse than ever...an alpha wants to marry me...I don't want it...he's not my true mate,"
"Well say no then?"
"I have but they are not listening,I've met him once...there's nothing between us.....they......they have started to keep me in the house I'm not allowed out on my own,they have said I have to be dutiful.."
Jimin snorted,what they meant was don't be like him,wilful doing his own thing,not being a docile omega.
"Sheuna ....they can't make you say yes...stand your ground."
"Jimin.......I know I sound weak but...they took my money from my account,they said once I marry they will return it but it's to keep me from getting away."
"Shit,they really mean business!"
"It's because this alpha is influential,I don't know why he picked me but I could tell when we met that to him it's just a business deal."
"Hmmm,I need to get you out of it,when's this proposed marriage?"
"The day after tomorrow ,I can't do it Jimin,but I can't run away I've no funds and they watch me like hawks!"
Jimin sighed ,his sister was two years younger than him and was a quiet soul with flashes of Jimins spirit.His parents had tried to rule him but he'd had none of it,pushing them to the point of distraction agreeing whole heartedly with him moving out and away,his only regret leaving his sister behind.
He had met up with her on planned holidays but he knew his parents didn't like it,seeing him as a threat to their standing,their fake persona where business came before family.They had no idea their son was a gifted and respected person.
"Ok,I'm coming,we will sort this,I'll be there by evening"
"Oh Jimin thank you..."
"I need you to pretend to have accepted it tell them you've invited me and I'm on my way..."
"I love you Jimin..."
"Ditto kid...."
Putting the phone down Jimin went online his mind already making plans. He packed a suitcase took money out of his safe putting it into an envelope and putting it into his jacket.
Taking the papers he'd printed off he put them safely away,he picked his car keys up and left getting into his sleek car and driving off.

"Kook smile you're getting married the day after tomorrow!" Tae exclaimed looking at the grumpy faced alpha.
"We both know it's not a love match,"
"So why do it...,she's a pretty little thing though,oops sorry!"
"It's fine ...,I'm not jealous ....its sad that I say that shouldn't I be jealous at you talking about my mate that way......?"
"Kook you can call it off...?"
"No....I don't believe in all this romantic stuff but I want to have heirs,I didn't have this business build up just for it to die with me...."
"Why her then?"
"I got Joonie to compile a list of local eligible omegas,she seemed like one who would be less trouble ,there were others even a couple of male omegas,but not my type."
"And she is?"
"Tae I just have to fuck her get her pregnant and get some heirs,I don't need to have much to do with her after..."
"That's a bit cold...."
"Listen I can see she has greedy parents always kow towing to me......if I said I'd pay them off once she's had the kids they would do it."
"Wow,I feel sorry for her it must have been lonely growing up,"
"No she has a brother I think she still sees him but he moved away."'
"Is he coming to the wedding?"
"Who knows....."
Tae raised a brow his friend had always been determined seeing things through.
"The Parks....won't you find them......annoying"
"That is a downside but I've met their type before,status and money,hell they are bartering their daughter......she seems quiet unlike them I expect the son is more like them from what I understand he's been out of the family for a few years probably sniffing out people he can use."
"I don't know why you don't just sign a contract and fuck someone get them pregnant and take the kids without a marriage."
"I could but I don't want any freeloaders stepping in and saying their kid is mine I want it airtight ,rightful heirs legal marriage."
"You sure there aren't any little Jeons out there already?"
"Positive,safe sex and a morning after pill always."
"Damn man......you certainly don't give free love!"
"Love is non existent...I can't imagine myself fixed to one person."
"Don't you ever feel anything ?"
"What you mean the'fated mate' thing? Hell no I couldn't imagine anything more monotonous than being with one person for years."
"Your parents did? As did mine"
"That's them ...I prefer to be in charge of my fate"
"Well you...ah shit!!"
Tae yelled out as distracted by the conversation he drove too quickly. Around the bend clipping an on coming car.
Both cars stopped and Tae got out going to the other driver who was just opening his door.
"God I'm sorry man,I didn't mean to clip your car," Tae groaned out.
"Hey,calm down,it's just a car....are you hurt?"
Jungkook from inside the car heard a melodic voice and a divine aroma wafted to him.
"No I'm fine,you?"
"No damage.....look it's just a wheel arch that's scraped,"
"There's a garage that can fix it,please give me your details and address so I can pay,I don't remember seeing you around here?"
"No...I have family here...I don't live here,"
"Oh just visiting then?"
"Sort of,I'm here for a wedding,"
"A wedding.......what did you say your name was?"
"I didn't but it's Park,Park Jimin,"
"Holy shit the brother!"
"Excuse me?"
The rear car door opened and Jungkook stepped out,
"I believe what Tae was trying to say is,you must be Shauna's brother? I'm her husband to be Jeon Jungkook."
He held his hand out,waiting to see the same zealous greetings his parents gave to him when he met them...instead...
"Oh really....well I'd hoped my sister had better choice,still she can always change her mind."
Jungkook frowned,how dare he, who did he think he was.
"Well...,I'm glad your sister isn't as rude,no wonder your parents don't speak about you!"
"Oh they hate my guts so they can do what they want,but my sister obviously could do better so maybe the wedding should be cancelled."
Jungkook stared at the other male whose scent was playing with his senses. The late afternoon sunlight shone in his dark blonde tresses his brown eyes staring back wilfully at him his full lips half smiling half sneering.
"Look I don't know what your problem is but your parents have agreed the marriage and it will go ahead,Tae take his details to pay for the damage ....i presume you'll be at the wedding please don't create a fuss I dislike things to be disrupted," he turned away but he heard,
"Who cares what you like..." coming from the small megs mouth.
Tae took Jimins details apologising again.
"Hey chill out Tae,I'd be distracted to with that asshole in the car..."
The blonde got in the car and drove off his sweet scent disappearing.
"Wow,he's hot!" Tae muttered getting into the car
Jungkook couldn't help the low growl that escaped.
"Take your mind off him!"
Tae glanced at his boss and friend surprised the reaction sounded...possessive.
He got in the car and drove to Jungkooks home.
Jungkook got out slamming the door and going inside.
"Er,do you need me anymore?" Tae asked
"No....,er thanks Tae" Jungkook adjusted his temperament it wasn't his friend who had ruined his mood.
"Ok......we'll see you tomorrow then,"
"Hmm,"
Tae left and Jungkook went to his drinks cabinet pouring a large whiskey and gulping it down before refilling the glass and sitting down cradling it in his hands.
What an annoying omega at least he wouldn't have to deal with him for long he could disappear from where he came from!

"Hello mother,father...." Jimin greeted his parents.
"Oh ...you did come....." his father said in a regretful tone.
"I don't want you doing anything to spoil the wedding!" His mother said shrilly.
"Now why would I ruin Sheuna big day?" Jimin said in a querying tone as if he knew none of the facts.
His parents looked at each other.
"So....has she told you about it?" His father asked warily.
"Actually not much said she was marrying an alpha,"
His mother sighed in relief.
"Yes quite a catch...he's respected around here and soon we will be looked at with the same respect!"
"That's surely not as important as the fact Sheuna wants to marry him...?she does doesn't she?" He asked tongue in cheek.
"Of course of course......it's just an added bonus,"
"Jimin!!!!"
He turned to see his sister running down the stairs he held his arms out and she hugged him tight. He whispered in her ear," it's ok I've planned everything just follow my lead."
"Hey I'm starving are we eating soon?"
His mother frowned annoyed at his loud behaviour.
"Jimin manners please,we will dine in half an hour!"
"Ok I hope my old rooms available?"
"We had it prepared yes,"
"Sheuna come with me while I unpack,"
"Half an hour don't sit gossiping up there!"
The two walked arm in arm up the stairs going to Jimins old room.
"Jimin please have you come up with a plan?"
"Yes but it means you leaving here?"
Sheuna frowned then nodded," I can't stay I want my life back."
"I've arranged a car to be hidden near the venue,it's in my name and you will be handed the keys,I'm glad you learned to drive,it will be cutting it fine as it's on the actual day,you don't need to pack anything clothes will be in a case in the car,any personal items slip them to me tomorrow I will get them to your new address.
Rent is paid for six months while you look for a job ,a new bank account is opened for you I will text the code ,a phone will be in the car."
"How have you arranged all this?!?"
"Let's just say if I wasn't their wayward son our parents would be falling over themselves to be around a businessman like me..."
"Jimin who exactly are you?"
Jimin smiled," I own JM financial advisors"
Sheunas mouth dropped open," JM ....but that's well known....how have you hidden this?"
"You know I always liked numbers,when I left I thought I'd put it to good use,started small but got lucky,famous clients recommend me so it all just grew...."
Sheuna grinned then giggled," omg if only the parents knew....got any room for a mediocre secretary?"
"You wanna work in the company?"
"I want to be a designer but they wouldn't let me join the uni I got a place in....." she sighed.
"Well,how about you go to uni there,I will pay and during the holidays you can do some admin for me,earn some spending money?"
"Really,oh god Jimin I feel so happy right now,this morning I wanted to kill myself!"
"Hey none of that talk! Right I need to test the waters while we eat,remember they don't know that I know everything so play the dutiful bride but agree with any suggestion I make ok?"
The table was set as if they were royalty ,once seated Jimin began.
"So Sheuna a married lady are you looking forward to it?"
"Of course Jimin who wouldn't ?"
"So it's it small or large..."
"Mr Jeon is well known and has a lot of business people attending ...."his father said
"One more day....I hope you have a pretty dress?"
"Of course she does! I hope you brought a decent outfit?"
"Not to worry mother nobody will be looking at me just the bride ...can I escort you Sheuna?"
"Don't be silly your father will be doing it!"
"Oh I thought...never mind I'm sure it will be fine..." he said shrugging.
"What do you mean?"
"Well it's fine it is a bit old fashioned here I suppose...." He said airily.
"What are you on about?"
"Well it's just......nowadays both sets of parents greet the guests and the bride walks down the aisle on her own to the groom but well you don't have to do it I suppose....."
What Jimin said was true but he had a reason for not wanting his parents around Sheuna.
"Of course we should keep up with the times we aren't country bumpkins...I will call the Jeons...Jimin you will go with your sister ...."
"Sure...is that ok with you Sheuna?"
"Of course Jimin...we have to keep up with appearances don't we?"
Jimin nodded winking at her and she hid a smile.
Jimin put his head down and started to eat,this could be a lot of fun he thought the familiar buzz of doing something he shouldn't  be doing burned through him and although not keen on hurting others he believed this time the end would justify the means.
