Unexpected Mate | Jikook

CHAPTER 22. 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ's ᴘ.ᴏ.ᴠ.

Jimin was literally crying on my shoulder. My shirt was getting damp and I was frozen. When he cried in his father's office it were just slowly sliding tears but now, he was a mess.

Now I knew that this wasn't just mate instincts, then I would just hold him and calm him down by my touch but, I was almost crying just to see him like this.

I know that he has been a jerk but-how much have he done for me since I turned eighteen. After I stroke his back so he would calm down, I took his arm.

„Come, sit on the bed and we'll talk" I said with a soft voice as he was still in my arms.

He was still crying so what I had to do was to calm him down enough so he can talk.

I put my fingers in his soft hair and started massaging his scalp, I felt as he immediately calmed down.

His breathing got normal and his muscles have loosen up. Now I could even feel him stroking my back. He must had felt my stress and try to calm me down too.

I hate to admit it but his touch is the only thing that could calm me down after all this. I was never going to admit it but I think-

I have feelings for him.

„I-I'm so sorry for what I have said to you. Believe me, every time I felt you scared or hurt. I was torturing myself to not listen to my wolf and run to you. If I j-just had-"

I pulled his face up from my neck, stopping him from talking at the same time.

„No, stop. I don't wan't an apology, I want to know why you've been out off control" I said as he looked away from my eyes down to the bedsheets.

„Nothing good will come from you just keeping it in. Please, I want to help you"

Jimin took my hands and sighed before he looked deep into my eyes- „M-my father is dying..."

My eyes grew wide as I felt my heart stop. Jisung said that he could be like this because he wanted to protect me from something. He might have been right.

„I took it really hard and.. I knew that you also would so I wanted to take all the pain to myself..."

Before I could say anything, he broke down again crying harder then before.

„He is dying, he told me that he had known that for a long time a-and that's why I'll be the youngest crowned alpha in our pack ever"

„Hey, calm down... If-" I went to say but he suddenly cut me off by grabbing the blanket, standing up and trowing it over the balcony railing.

„He is dying! What don't you understand?!" Jimin shouted and I tried not to panic, trying not to run out from the room.

„You don't even care, do you?!" He shouted again. All of that was really going to his head and I understood that, but it isn't good for him.

I needed to do something before he could hurt himself. He was about to scream at me again when I stood up, forcefully pushed him down on the bed to get him out from his tantrum and give me all his attention.

„And my dad is already dead!" I shouted at him angrily and he just looked at me, frozen and shocked.

„I was eight when second delta in command, at that time, come to our home after a rogue attack and told my mother, that my father who was a guard, had died-" I paused for a second to catch my breath.

„-I didn't have a chance to say goodbye before he was gone. But you have the chance to be with him and be his last memory. And what are you doing? You are wasting that valuable time with hiding from reality?!"
