•Chapter 5 : The Feeling•

Jungkook's POV

It is 9 o'clock and shit, I am growing impatient, like, why wouldn't I be? I have been wanting to meet him since the day I saw him and now I am really not liking this last minute wait.

*knock* *knock*.

Okay.... *lets out a deep breath*

Calm down. He is here and you don't wanna scare him off right? Dude, please keep your freakin' pheromones in! Okay, I'll be considerate of myself...

At least try!

By the way... will he know it too? That we are fated to each other? What if he doesn't? No, he definitely will. We are fated to each other, if I feel it, he is bound to feel it too. I looked ahead and soon my eyes fell upon the two figures that were approaching. One was Hoseok hyung and behind him, was Park Jimin, my fated mate.

A big, toothy and weird smile tried to force it's way to my lips but I contained it. This was an official matter after all and if he doesn't feel the way I do, I may look like a creep and that's the last impression I want to create of myself in front of him. He looks ethereal though, I must say. With that fluffy pink sweater and a pair of faded blue jeans... it goes so well with his milky white complexion and those lips, ah... so, very kissable. I know I sound perverted but trust me I cannot help but to compliment my beautiful, soon-to-be mate right now.

Wait. Why is he.... why is he looking at me like that though?

Like he knows me.....

Man, of course he does... I am the King and this is the exact reaction I get from every people out there. Damn it! What is wrong with you? Don't just assume that he knows it. But... something was different about this gaze.

"Ehem. Your Majesty?" My trail of thoughts was broken when Hoseok hyung's voice reached my ears, I realized I was looking at the Omega for too long, I removed my gaze immediately and looked up at my manager hyung who was looking at me with his eyes squinted, I blinked twice and looked back at Jimin again, wow, was I that obvious?

"Park Jimin.." I said and he bowed to me, "yes, your majesty.." his voice was so sweet, soft and buttery. The smile that I was suppressing, now was stretched onto my mouth upon hearing it. "Sit down.." I asked him and he did so.

I took out the resume he submitted from the drawer of my wooden desk and placed it on top, "I know you have applied for a house staff's post but I can't help but put an objection to it because... your qualifications are remarkable and I was quite impressed." I smiled an assuring smile at him, to which he smiled back, so beautifully and suddenly... I found my self getting distracted. No, his smile was not the reason, though it was a reason enough but here, it was his natural aroma that was growing strong, maybe, it expressed how very happy he was at the words I spoke and so he let go of the control over his pheromones releasing a lot at once, unknowingly.

"So, Park Jimin... why did you send your resume for the house staff post when you can easily get a more respectable position anywhere?" I asked. He stayed silent at first for just a few seconds and then, "I... had tried for jobs in different business firms and places Your Majesty, but they always selected the Beta's and the Alpha's, I have gotten rejected countless times and so I gradually lost my faith of ever getting a job and as I was in an urgent need of money, I didn't think twice and applied for this post when I saw an opening." He said and I felt bad, how dare they reject him.

I nodded, "so... as you said that you have lost your faith.. do you think that you can regain that faith in yourself and serve me, working as my secretary? Doing your best and helping me with the Kingdom's affairs?" I asked my second question, "you thinking worthy of me for this position, have raised new hopes within me Your Majesty. I have gotten back the confidence and the faith in myself again and so, I can very well serve you, if you let me and I will, very sincerely, with all my potential help you with the Kingdom's affairs." I am more than impressed now, the words were very well spoken and I kind of felt bad for those people who didn't even give him a chance but I am happy though, now I get to keep my priceless jewel all to myself.

I nodded again, now, I don't know if he can answer this next question but it doesn't matter though, he has already qualified the interview, "Can you speak English?" I asked in English and I *chuckles* got an immediate response, "Y-Yes, I can. But.. not very fluent." He replied in his broken English and I smiled at him feeling proud.

"Park Jimin, you are hired." I said putting a stamp on his resume and signed beneath it and looking back at him I could clearly see how joyful and content he was, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He said in a cheerful voice as he bowed, eyes a bit glassy, maybe because he was emotional, he finally achieved what he was longing for after all. My smile widened as well. I'm glad I could make him happy. I didn't realize that I was yet again looking at him for quite a while as when he looked back at me he looked a bit shocked at my constant gaze upon him but then he smiled at me....

That smile, made me feel like he has known me forever.

Author's POV

When Jimin got out of the palace, he was still shook, he just couldn't believe that he was getting to work for the King as his secretary. Till yesterday, he had no idea what his future was going to be like but now everything seemed to be sorted out so well, he'll be starting from the day after tomorrow and he was so very excited. There was another reason for his happiness though, he got to see Jungkook again, though he remembers very little about him, he was still quite fascinated to see him, to see how more handsome he is up close and how his way of speaking did not change, the latter was always calm and spoke matured words now that he remembers more.

It was almost eleven when he reached home and the first thing he did was to lock himself inside his small home and jump around, squealing like a little kid and when he was doing so he remembered something.

He quickly rushed to his cupboard and took out a small wooden box from where it was kept, safely under a cloth and placed it on the table. Inside the box was something he treasured the most, something, which was a priceless wealth to him, he laughed in joy looking at it, "I finally got a job... I did it!" He spoke taking the thing out of the box, it was a silver coloured, glossy chain, he took it and latched it around his neck and smiled as he went towards the mirror to look at himself.

He was so happy today.. so happy that he felt like crying, his years of hardwork payed off, he got a job and he was starting to get back the memories that he had lost, something good was finally happening in his life and it was unbelievable for him.

But, one thing that he was still very confused about though was, the tingling sensation that he felt today, it made him cheerful. It made him loose his control over his pheromones all of a sudden and made him feel extremely submissive. What was that feeling?

To be continued....
