Chapter 32: Tone

              Jimin then felt his breathing grow unsteady as Jungkook kept looking at the Omega. "Jungkook... Are you just acting right now?" Jimin whispered as Jungkook took a moment and sighed.

            "Y-Yeah.. Guess I was." Jungkook said as he stood up. "Forget about what I said and go practice your lines."

            "You made it sound like you were hurt..." Jimin claimed as he looked over the script. "And in love with me... Possessive and obsessed with me..." Jimin then giggled and started to clap. "You did amazing! I really felt like you were being honest with me. Thinking you love me."

             "What?! I'm not in love with you... So go practice your lines and wait for me." Jungkook stated as he turned around and walked to his room while Jimin sat down on the couch, reading the lines of the final act since Jungkook wanted to take it when they reach the action scene.

          Jungkook stepped into the room with a blank face as he waited for Jimin to call on him. The Alpha was silent as he sat down on the bed looking down and feeling a bit let down that he only brushed off that soft and true moment with Jimin as acting. Jungkook held up his hands and thought of cupping the older Omega's face close. It was something he wasn't planning on doing but Jimin only caught it as acting. Not even taking it as a real question.

             "Thank goodness he didn't take it seriously... It just came out of nowhere! I say I don't love him but he still manages to make me smile.. W-What is this?! I don't even care about people who aren't famous like me. But, I care about Jimin more than my Manager.. more than Taehyung... more than... me." Jungkook whispered as he sighed. "He just walked into my life and made me feel so different. I never treat someone with so much respect or apologize for something I think was benign."

                 Jungkook layed back on the bed, puzzled and regretful for cupping Jimin's face and telling him these things. It wasn't acting, Jungkook really felt that way towards Jimin and almost said how much he apreciated the older Omega. Jungkook tried his best to avoid saying what he really felt towards Jimin because he really hated the feeling of it. The Alpha was filled with confusion as he rested back on the bed, waiting for Jimin to finish practicing the lines.

             Very soon, Jimin walked up to the room door and knocked as Jungkook was still awake, but staring at the ceiling like he was daydreaming about Jimin. As soon as he heard Jimin knock, Jungkook sat up and looked at the door blankly.

           "Jungkook? I'm ready to act! I practiced the final act where it's called 'Showdown' and I also practiced the actual fight scenes." Jimin stated as Jungkook walked to the door and opened it, not saying a word and walked to the living room. By now, Jimin tried his best to grow accustom to Jungkook's behavior. Even if at times it almost got on Jimin's nerves, yet... Jimin still cared about Jungkook deeply like he did before.

            "Yeah, alright. Stand right here." Jungkook ordered as Jimin stepped up infront of Jungkook as the younger tilted his head to the side to look at the wall and then at Jimin. "Okay... Stay still. Don't move at all." Jungkook assured as Jimin smiled excitingly. "Hit me if you have to." Jungkook assured.

           "H-Hit you? What if you're left bleeding?!" Jimin asked as Jungkook laughed and placed his hands on Jimin's shoulders.

           "I just want to see if you are capable of doing it." Jungkook mentioned as Jimin agreed. "After this we move into romance and erotic scripts. Only if you do this scene perfectly!" Jungkook claimed as Jimin let out a giggle. The younger walked to the fake gun and set the gun to the floor a few tiles away from Jimin. "Action."

            As soon as Jungkook said action, he quickly grabbed onto the collar of Jimin's shirt and pressed the Omega back to the wall forcefully as he glared at the boy with such anger already rushing through his blood. Jimin tried not to giggle and made sure he kept a scared yet determined face.

           "FIRST YOU TAKE OVER MY LIFE, MASQUERADING AS ME AND NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE KNOW I'M THE VILLAIN!" Jungkook shouted as he shook Jimin against the wall carefully. "W-WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! WHY DO YOU WANT TO TAKE OVER EVERYTHING I LOVE?! WHY DO YOU WANT TO BRING SHAME TO MY WHOLE NAME AND MAKE ME THE CRIMINAL?!"

               "I-I did it for you! I want you! That woman you love doesn't love you the way I do! I'll have to get rid of them all if I have to! Bring down your whole life if I have to!" Jimin shouted, trying so hard not to die of laughter. "Drity your name so no one will love you!" Jimin hissed as he tried to pry off Jungkook's hands. "Only me..."

            Jungkook suddenly shoved Jimin to a rug and approached Jimin, climbing over him as Jimin quickly sat up and punched the air near Jungkook's face since he didn't want to hurt him. Jungkook suddenly let out a laugh as Jimin giggled to himself, breaking out of character.

      "What was that?! You have to punch me!" Jungkook said as Jimin giggled and shook his head placing his hands on Jungkook's chest while the younger was still ontop of the boy. "Give me your hand." Jungkook ordered as Jimin raised his hand, unknowingly dropping his other hand down to rest on Jungkook's hips, sliding it to his thighs.

           Jungkook then brought Jimin's hand to a fist and simulated a slow punch so Jimin can know how to do it. "You can do it lightly or harshly. Just make sure you give me a direct punch." Jungkook assured, not realizing that Jimin was touching his thighs softly.

                "Start it from the punch?" Jimin asked as Jungkook nodded, looking down to see Jimin's hands along his thighs. Jungkook dropped Jimin's hands down against the floor into a pin as Jimin smiled.

                 "Ready?" Jungkook asked as his hips softly pressed against Jimin's as the Omega nodded, already blushing.

                 "Y-Yes..." Jimin breathed as Jungkook scanned his eyes down at Jimin taking a brief moment to stare at Jimin's body before he calls out action.

               "Action..." Jungkook said as Jimin quickly brought up his fist to Jungkook's face but softly moved Jungkook's face with the delicate 'punch.' Jungkook fell over to the side as Jimin stood up and softly kicked him repeatedly as he let out angry huffs. 

            "You'll NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I'M DOING THIS FOR THE BOTH OF US!" Jimin shouted at the actor as Jungkook was laying on his front, coughing like he was slowly dying. "I did this all for you, I took out every issue you had in life and made it better for the both of us! All those times you complained to me in the research lab... I WANTED TO HELP YOU! But now I know... I couldn't help such a wounded swan..." Jimin whispered as he watched Jungkook crawl to the fake gun. At the moment, Jimin's character was supposed to be looking for a syringe with poison pumped through it, to end Jungkook's character.

            "Y-You were such a good colleague.. I never wanted to know you wanted me.. E-Even if I saw the signs!" Jungkook said sounding like he was dying as as soon as Jimin turned around, he walked up to Jungkook and forcefully turned him over when, Jungkook pulled the trigger of the fake gun, making confetti come out the tip of the fake gun.

         Jimin fell back dramatically as he pretended to cup a wound like the actor did in the actual movie. "B-BASTARD!" Jimin cried, grasping his wound as Jungkook stood up and gazed down at Jimin's body.

            "Y-You can't understand how hard it is for me to kill someone I loved while my wife was far...out of everyone I expected... You were the least.." Jungkook whispered as Jimin looked at Jungkook shoot again as Jimin suddenly giggled.

           "And scene!" Jimin claimed as Jungkook smiled at how well Jimin caught onto the character. Jimin just tried his best to make sure he didn't mess up this scene for Jungkook so they can move onto the next lesson Jimin was eager to participate in.
