Try Again (JiKook)

Four

"Hyung," Jimin sniffed as the older answered the phone.
"Jiminie?," Seokjin sounded worried, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Because," the omega hiccuped, "He made me think about stuff."
"What? Jimin, I'm coming over there-"
"No!," the younger said quickly, "Jungkook is here."
"He's there?! Then go to him!"
"No, you don't get it," Jimin laid back on the bed, "He made me think...about mating and alphas and...being with one. He ruined my entire brain, hyung!"
After a small pause, Jin started laughing.
"What?! Why are you laughing at me?!"
"Jimin...you poor child," Jin exhaled, "You're so strange. But, anyway, you should go be with your alpha-"
"Hyung, are you happy with Namjoon?"
"Well, yeah. Of course I am. He loves me."
"Has he ever done anything bad to you?"
"No."
Jimin looked to his bedroom door and sighed, "Jungkook is nice to me, too."
"Mhm," Seokjin's voice displayed the smile Jimin just knew he had.
"He...I told him about...everything, but he doesn't care. Why doesn't he care?"
"Because he wants to be with you."
"But why?"
"Jimin, I don't know. I do know, however, that Jungkook loves you. The way he talks about you is beautiful. I can only hope that Namjoon talks about me that way."
Jimin kept thinking...and thinking...and thinking, until he finally sat up, "I gotta go, hyung. Kookie's taking me out again."
"Okay," Jin chuckled, "Have fun."
"I will, thank you, bye."

Jungkook was making Jimin's breakfast when the omega came back out to the kitchen.
He stood behind the corner of the wall, watching the alpha who seemed lost in his own head.
"Kookie," Jimin stepped out from the corner and into the kitchen.
Jungkook looked over his shoulder and smiled at him, "You didn't make any for yourself, so I thought I would."
"Thank you."
Jimin quietly crept up behind the taller, then wrapped his arms around Jungkook's waist.
"Jimin?"
"Maybe, Jungkook. I might mate with you."
Jeon turned around and made the older look up to him, "Seriously?"
"If," the omega put a lot of emphasis on this, "you can show me that you're a good boyfriend."
Jungkook smiled, hands landing on the smaller's cheeks, "You're so fluffy," Jungkook chuckled.
Jimin happily hummed then moved so that he could get the eggs out of the frying pan.
Jungkook stood next to him, watching his every move and wondering what changed his mind.
"Let's stay in and watch a movie," Jimin glanced up at him.
"After you eat," Jungkook smiled.
"Okay," Jimin turned the stove off and took his plate to the table.
Jungkook looked to the sink and sighed. A week's worth of dirty dishes piled up in one side.
"I'm gonna do the dishes, Jiminie, hurry and finish."
"Alright," the older's mouth was full when he responded.
The alpha laughed to himself a bit, then started to run water and search for dish soap.

"Who's better," Jimin grabbed a handful of popcorn, "Iron Man or Superman?"
"Iron Man, duh," Jungkook shrugged as if the answer weren't a big deal.
"Well, why? I mean, they both fly; they both have lasers-"
"Yeah, but Iron Man looks cooler than a guy in a spandex suit."
Jimin smiled at that. If he didn't know any better, he'd think the twenty two year old alpha was still nineteen.
"Now that I think about it, Iron Man is smarter than a lot of heroes. He's the only one with proper fighting armor."
"But the Hulk doesn't need armor; he's a beast."
"But when he goes back to Bruce he's just a normal guy with a gash in his arm."
Jimin nodded as he stuffed his mouth full, "True."
"Close your mouth," Jungkook laughed and looked back to the tv.

A month passed easily. Time seemed to fly by and Jimin found himself happier than ever.
Jungkook still came into the cafe everyday when Jimin was working and ordered breakfast. The only difference now was that he paid tip through a small kiss.
And Jin...Jin didn't change. He still urged the younger omega to mate with Jungkook. He saw it as a wonderful idea.
"Aren't you glad it's Friday, Jimin?," Jin lightly bumped hips with the younger once he noticed how tired he was.
"Very glad," he nodded with as big a smile as he could muster.
"So...what happened with that alpha of yours?," the older omega asked cautiously.
"He...uh, he hung around yesterday. We didn't do much."
Jin nodded as he cleaned the counter, "You know, he told me he wished that you two started things off differently."
"Really?," Jimin raised his eyebrow, "How do you find time to talk to him? Actually, where do you talk to him?"
"Oh...uh, a lot lately, actually because he is...Namjoon's...um, cousin," the older started to walk off with that, but Jimin followed him.
"Wait, what? How long have you known him?!"
"Same amount of time as you," Jin turned around, "He just started being able to come see Joonie so we talk sometimes."
"Well, if they're cousins why wouldn't they see each other?"
"Because of family reasons and issues that I'm in no place to tell you."
"But hyung," the younger whined, "I want to know!"
"I wanted to know too, but now I kinda wish I didn't," Jin put a hand on his shoulder, "So drop it. I'm sure Jungkook will tell you if he wants to."
"But-"
"No," Jin said sternly and the younger stuck his lip out in a childly manner.
