"Ugh..." I groan, arching my back in my new bed. The move out is so stressful and tiring. Thank God, my parents and Chaeyoung were there to help me out. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do much. My parents left a little while ago, while Chaeyoung is in the kitchen, preparing something to eat. I've only managed to do my bedroom and place the furniture in their right places.

Last week, I finally talked to the land owner and got this flat. The flat is not that big but it's beautiful and cozy. Tomorrow is Sunday, and all I want to do is relax in my new house. I still can't believe that I'm old enough to be able to afford a house on my own — live on my own.

I feel like it was yesterday that I was crying because I didn't wanna go to school, but here I am, all grown-up man.

"Jungkook!" Chaeyoung calls me.

"Yes."

"Lunch is ready, come, let's eat. I'm super hungry."

When are you not hungry?

I make my body leave the bed and go to the dining table. The kitchen is actually big so there isn't any other room for the dining room.

Nearing the table, the strong scent of pasta with salmon dances on my nostril. I hurriedly sit in chair, opposite Chaeyoung, and start to eat. Chaeyoung has already started to eat, before me — well, she's a food lover. I think her life motto is: food is life.

"Jungkook," Chaeyoung speaks with food in her mouth.

"Hmm?"

"Do you think I have any chance with Miss lisa?" She sounds really desperate for an accurate answer.

"What happened? You sound so desperate," I ask, concerned.

"You know," she starts to explain with sad voice. "Other day, I saw her with another Omega, and they were laughing. I've never seen Miss Lisa that happy before. Can it be possible that she's seeing that Omega?"

I listen to her attentively and think deeply before answering her because I don't want my comment to hurt her.

"Listen, Chaeng, I don't wanna be rude or sadden you more, but don't be that crazy over her. You know that she belongs to a family with high status, but we're normal middle-class people. To be honest, that Omega can also be her best friend or girlfriend, but it's her life and her choice. Don't ruin your life because of her."

She rests her chin on her palm while playing with the fork with the other hand, I guess it's hard to believe what's truth.

"I guess... you're right. I have my entire life in front of me, and I can't let my one-sided love take control of my life." She smiles forcefully and looks at me.

"Don't think about her that much. If she wasn't meant to be yours, she won't be yours, no matter how much you try. You should focus on yourself."

"I got it, I got it. What about you? Is there anything between you and Mr. Kim?" Her voice turns into an interesting one.

I knit my brows. "Why you ask so suddenly?"

"I mean, I haven't asked you about you and Mr. Kim since the party and that was one month ago. Did something happen?"

I roll my eyes at her. "What is supposed to happen? There's nothing between us. He's so wealthy and strict and—" I remove a strand of my hair from my forehead sassily "—I'm one of the most beautiful and kind Omega to ever exist."

"Slay my boy!" She exclaims, changing her expression from curious to sassy, just like me. I guess we're meant to be best friends.

"Of course," I shrug my shoulder savagely.

"But do you know—" she leans back and folds her arms on her chest "—most of the employees ship you guys."

I raise my brows. "Really?"

"Yep, I even heard them saying how cute you two would look like if you ever decide to get married."

I tsk in annoyance. "What do they mean 'decide'? They talk like we're dating."

Chaeyoung shrugs. "They really talk like you're a couple, and I even had an employee asking me if I know anything about you two."

I shake my head in disappointment. How could they even ship me with him? There's a difference between the earth and the sky between us.

"Well, leave it, it's nothing to be concerned. But hey, do you know that Taehyung's cousin is coming?"

"His cousin?" I ask, confused.

She nods her head. "I heard that his cousin will come since summertime is near; people say that his cousin always visits Korea during the summer vacation."

"Where does his cousin live?"

"His cousin, Jimin, is married to an italian business man, therefore the couple lives in Italy."

"Oh, I don't know about his arrival — I actually don't even know if he has any cousin or any siblings," I laugh.

She chuckles before saying, "he has a half-brother, Kim Namjoon who lives in USA with his mate, Kim Seokjin. His sister is Kim Jisoo, who is a model. I'm sure you've heard about her."

I think for a moment. "Oh, yes, I do. I mean, she really has a top-level beauty; Moon Goddess really blessed her."

"Isn't it! And Park Jimin is his first cousin, and people say they are like best friends."

"I see... and who's his husband?"

"His husband is Min Yoongi, and they have a child together." She pulls out her phone from her jeans pocket and searches something.

"Here." She hands me her phone, and I look at the photo. I won't lie to myself, he's hot.

"He looks like a cat," I comments and she laughs.

"You're right." I hand her the phone.

"How long do they stay usually?"

"I think like one month or something."

"I see."

She hands me the phone again. "Here, it's Mr. Kim's cousin, Jimin."

I look at the picture and remain awestruck. His cousin is so damn beautiful that it makes me self-doubt: he has lots of beautiful and handsome people in his own family. Will he even find me attractive? Ever?

"He looks so beautiful, isn't he?"

"Hmm, you're right. Him and Mr. Kim are best of friends since childhood. I also heard that Mr. Kim even cried when Jimin had to move with Mr. Min."

"It is really hard to let go of people you love, you know," I say as a matter of fact.

"Yeah. Anyway, let's finish our food so we can go to our beds.

I focus on my food, mentally taking note of asking Mr. Kim about his cousin's arrival. And if I remember to ask him, dear Moon Goddess, please give me some strength.
