Maybe Jeon Jeongguk is not as bad as Jimin thought he was.
~~~
Jimin wipes off his clammy hands on his cotton pants, praying that his boss won't chew his head off for showing up only in his t-shirt.
In Jimin's defense, however, Jeongguk did call him in the middle of the night, asking (or demanding, to be honest) him to come into the address sent to his messenger and hung up on him before he had any chances of protesting. As much as Jimin hates being the asshole's secretary, the pay is good and Jimin wouldn't be able to feed Yoongles those salmons he's addicted to.
To Jimin's surprise, the GPS led him to this huge marbled-glory of a house and he thinks with his current savings, he can only afford the wooden door. Even an idiot would know that this is obviously Jeongguk's private residence, but what truly surprises him is that Jeon Jeongguk, resident pruny ass alpha with no interest on sharing his personal life to anyone, would invite Park Jimin, a beta no-one, to his not-so-humble abode like this.
Gulping down his nerves, he manages to gather some courage and goes to the intercom before he changes his mind and sprint away with Yoongles back to Busan.
"Hello, welcome to the Jeon residence, how can I help you?" A deep, sweet voice comes from the speaker and even from the static it sounds very pleasant. Jimin rolls his eyes, of course Jeongguk has servants in the house to answer the door for him.
Jimin straightens up and clears his throat before answering, "Good evening, my name is Park Jimin, Mr. Jeon's assistant. I was asked to come here as per his own request," he tries politely but he knows that there's a slight edge to his tone since it's currently autumn and it's late and he's fucking cold.
There's a gasp from the other side, and a indignant Gukkie! that makes Jimin raises his eyebrows. Huh. Gukkie must've been Jeongguk and Jimin truly doesn't know what came through this servant to have the guts to address Jeongguk so informally like that.
The static makes it impossible for him to hear the conversation that's obviously going on in the backgrounds, and that deep voice returns a few moments later.
"I'm terribly sorry! You must've been cold, Jimin-ssi, please come in, I opened the door for you!"
Jimin nods his head before realizing the man behind that voice can't possibly see him so he says a quiet thanks instead and almost jumps from his skin when the front gates open automatically without any cue. He lets himself inside and takes a little bit time to admire the garden that's obviously well managed. Jeongguk has a good eye on picking his workers.
He swears it takes him five minutes to finally see the main door (he notices some security cameras installed and swallows in fear) and there's a man waiting for him by the door.
Now, Jimin is not that delusional to think that his boss would be there waiting for him in the cold, so Jimin just assumes that he's another one of Jeongguk's variety of servants in the house, simply doing their jobs.
But as he gets closer, his nose gets a sniff of something sweet, something very pregnant and Jimin raises his eyebrows. Surely Jeon Jeongguk wouldn't have employed a pregnant omega, his boss might be crazy but he still has common sense. (Does he?)
Before he reaches, though, the omega pads away to him quickly, and Jimin notices how he's wearing some silk robe that clearly couldn't belong to a mere servant. "Jimin-ssi! You must've been freezing!" And Jimin immediately realizes that this man was the man behind that sweet voice. Before he gets a chance to answer, though, the omega is wrapping him in blankets that he never noticed that he was carrying. "I'm sorry, I would've brought more but I can't, as you can see," under the dim lamp, the beta can see a sheepish smile adorning the omega's features as he points out to his belly. He still can't see his face properly, though.
