A small omega was trembling as he was crouching in his closet that he shared with his new lover of a month, beads of crystal sweat streaming down his glistening forehead in the dim, artificial light shined on him from the singular hanging lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. He held a plastic water bottle in his right hand tightly as he screamed out the name of his lover in terror, "JUNGKOOK!"

Jungkook, the omega's younger other half, was currently attempting to make brunch for the two, but failing to an extent he didn't know was possible. He accidentally used alcohol instead of water to make the pancakes so the batter wasn't mixing well, but that was the least of the younger's worries when the blood curdling scream rang throughout their small, collective house. He dropped the bowl of his fucked up batter on the floor, not caring that glass shards and the concoction spewed all over the floor.

"Jimin?!" He calles out as he swung open the door of the room they shared. His lover wasn't seen anywhere in the room, making the alpha's heart speed up at an alarming rate. The room was empty besides the sporadic pieces of clothing that was left from their sexual bonding time the night before.

"Jungkook.. I'm in the closet.." mumbled the voice of his mate from the closet which Jungkook immediately reacted to by running towards the closet door and swinging it open in the same manner in which he did with their bedroom door.

Jungkook had absolutely no idea what to do when he saw his shaking partner on the floor, the bottle of water he held in his right hand vibrating from his shaking hands. He threw himself on the floor and held Jimin in his arms, cradling his small body in his large embrace, whispering soft nothings until Jimin's trembling fingers stopped.

"Oh, what happened, what happened, my baby? Please tell me, love," The younger asked in a soft voice into Jimin's ear, planting little pecks on his lover's neck in attempts to heal him.

The omega couldn't form words, everything was at a standstill for him from shock which made Jungkook's heart crack at the discontent he saw in his partner.

"Jungkook," whispered the older as he lifted up his right hand which held the crinkling water bottle.

"What is it, Jimin? You can tell me,"

"Do you remember the first night I met you?"

Jungkook nodded frantically, "Of course, I'll never forget it,"

Jimin looked up at his partner, "Well do you remember how you and Hoseok made fun of me for thinking that water was expired?"

"What?"

Jimin sat up from Jungkook's arms, the other's eyes following every movement he made in confusion. Jimin shoves the water bottle into the face of the man who seemed to be the most confused in the entire world, his small, stubby finger pointing at a few numbers engraved into the plastic, "I WAS RIGHT!"

Jungkook had no idea as to what was going or what his lover was talking about, his face revealing all of his perplexed emotions.

"THIS WATER WILL EXPIRE IN TEN YEARS! ALBEIT IT'S A LONG TIME, BUT IT EXPIRES!" Jimin screeched out as he stood up, pacing around the small closet as his lover was staring at him in confusion.

Jungkook blinked twice before answering, "What are you talking about?"

"You remember that water I drank the first time we met?"

Jungkook went into the repertoire of his mind, flipping through his memories of all of the time he had known Jimin, "I don't remember that, babe,"

Jimin scoffed and tossed the water bottle into the alpha's lap, Jungkook catching it with ease, "You don't seem to remember anything, now do you?"

Jungkook's mind drifted off to how it took about four hours to actually remember that Jimin's name wasn't Jaebum. But he would never admit that because he knew Jimin would engrave his name into his skin with a butter knife. So he kept quiet.

"Well I did," Jimin huffed, putting his nose to the air proudly so he could finally get back at his other
half for humiliating him so horribly the night they first met, "and you laughed at me,"

"I—" then it all came back to him. It was chapter 5. The first time they met at that stupid dinner, but that stupid dinner was their little sliver of fate, "Are you talking about that sparkling water?"

Jimin tolled his eyes and crossed his arms, "It was expired!"

Jungkook's eyes widened in shock once he realized that his lover genuinely thought that the water from that night was expired, "Uhh Jimin—"

"Look at the numbers on the bottle!" He pointed down at the bottle that sat in my lap, Jungkook's eyes following the finger.
  
He already knew the outcome but he also knew that Jimin wouldn't allow him to leave the closet without getting validation from him. Jungkook grabbed the plastic bottle with my right hand, a familiar crinkling sound surrounding them as he squeezed it ever so slightly. Looking around the bottle for any numbers, Jungkook found a few below the cap and above the wrapped around the torso of the bottle.

At first, Jungkook seriously considered the fact that the water may expire but then he thought about logic and threw that thought out the window. Thinking harder, he finally came to a solution.

"Jimin, water can't expire,"

Jimin couldn't believe what he was hearing. The bottle had an expiration date for fuck's sakes! What else did he want to know?

"Kook. The numbers—"

"Are the expiration date to the bottle." Jungkook finished, looking back down at the bottle he held in his hands, "Or at least when the chemicals in the plastic begin to disintegrate into the water or something, but the water won't expire,"
  
Jungkook didn't think that Jimin was going to give in to his idea so quickly but he also didn't expect his lover to fall to his knees, his face in shock and no words leaving his lips.

"Uhh Jimin?"

[author's notes]

I wanted to try out that third person omniscient thing.

How did you guys like it?

The writing went a bit faster for me since I had to describe everything that was going on so it was pretty fun.
