Traffic wasn't dense when they left and it took them less than hour later that the luxurious car pulled over before the shabbiest looking building the omega had ever seen.

He climbed off the vehicle, slamming the door's shut. It's truly a pity the
only bestfriend he had lived in such a pathetic place. He thought as he crossed bthe street and entered the dilapidated building. He sighed as he briskly stepped in.

The bridling entrance door gave into his nudge with a creaky and dull sound proper to old places. As always the elevator was out of order. Three years since Taehyung moved into the building and he did not recall one time it worked. He shot it a disdainful look before heading toward the stairs. He climbed it reaching the third floor within a few minutes and knocked at the right door.

He'd a spare key but didn't feel like pulling it out. The door swung open
revealing his childhood friend, smilling at him.

"Didn't expect you." he said stepping aside to let him in.

He followed him inside the small apartment, smirking at the decoration as he plopped down on the old battered couch.

For all the contempt he felt for the humans there was one who always escaped to the general rule of a species that prided themselves wrongly in being at the top of the food chain and it's him.

Kim Taehyung was his childhood friend. The only one he ever had to be honest. His parents used to be butlers for the Parks. He's indubitably human but beyond that he's way more. He's the only person to truly understand jimin and the motivations that guided him. He never judged him even when sometimes he crossed the lines. He's honest to a fault and the kindness personified. He's eight when he met the seven year old butler's son and ever since both had been attached at the hips not even his old man's multiples attempts to kill their friendships succeeded to separate them.

He fancied himself to be an aspiring painters and was quite good. Van gogh, Renoir were the masters he worshipped. He lived quite sparingly because even though he was the bestfriend of the heir to one of the biggest fortune of the country it'd be
b

eneath him to ask for help from a friend. So he worked as freelance art restorer for individual and also did his own original works.

His shoes box sized apartment was in his image. Paintings of well known artists covered the blue colored walls. He didn't have the means to afford authentic paintings and so most of the ones he owed were painted by him and he's talented and would have succeeded a while ago if only he'd let the omega help him but he's stubborn for a human and wanted to succeed at his own merits.

That Jimin could understand very well. His bad humor lessened.

"Hyuk hyungnim called and told me what happened. I'm surprised you're
taking it so well." he wondered walking back in the living holding two mugs filled with hot cocoa that he set down on the coffee table before him.

"Don't be fooled, I'm seething." he let out. His friend chuckling.

"I can imagine." He picked up one of the mug that he offered him. The omega accepted, cradling the steaming thing between his cold hands.

He took a sip, eyes wandering around until they landed on the Basquiat
painting he'd offered him as a birthday gift.

"and what are you going to do?" he asked casually, taking  place next to him.

The omega smirked over the rim of his mug, steam wafting up and evaporing in the air. "I admit I underestimated the old man's cunningness but i still haven't told my last word." He promised.

The human pulled him into a tight hug, some of the hot cocoa spilled on
him. He moved to set it down, hugging his friend back.

"Even dead he tries to control me." he let out in a murmur.

"What did he ask? Hyuk hyungnim refused to tell me." They broke apart and he looked up, theirs eyes meeting for a while. his friend's widened. "Is it important?" worried in his eyes.

He nodded.

"He wanted me to get an alpha."

"What?"

Taehyung was a human but he grew up in the werewolves world and thus line every humans he knew of the  traditions and customs that ruled the their world. He also knew of his friend singular hatred for alphas and that there's nothing in the world capable of forcing him to put up with one less be tie in a sham of mariage.

Really it was to wonder what the old man was thinking.

He shook his head, exceeded.

"Are you going to? he inquired, knowong full well that he's threading very cautiously on an invisible line. His frien would never hurt him but his temper was legendary. He side eyed him warily.

It's a sensitive topic. All his life Jimin was shamed for not being born an alpha but an omega. As if it's something he'd chosen. In their archaic society omegas were still relegated ar the bottom in roles as broodmare or guardian and no amount of fights had changed that. The omega knew he was stronger than alphas, smarter too. He's a terrific fighter, feared to this day as he never lost a single battle often leaving his opponents on the brink of death.

But still it hadn't been enough. 

He threw his head back, heaving out  a sigh.

"If i had known what he's plotting I would have killed him myself, that bastard." He growled making Taehyung chuckled dryly uncomfy with the easiness with which the latter often spoke of killing people.

He knew the werewolf was strong and could easily snap him in two like a vulgar twig if he so much wanted to and that the reasons others treated him like  shit was because they were afraid of his potential.

The cocoa was cold now.

"So if I followed well, he wants you to get a mate before inheriting because he thinks they'll be more lilely to accept you at theirs head if there's an alpha by your side, doesn't seem that bad." he knew before he'd finished that he'd made a mistake. The air around them charged up with electricity. His friend's eyes turned from a calm, soothing brown to a terrible frightening yellow as his face changed too to something less human and more beastly

Before he could try to take back hid careless words, he's shouting.

"NO! I'M THE LEADER. I'M SUPPOSED TO RULE THEM AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO AGAINST IT. MARRYING AN ALPHA IS OUT OF QUESTION. I'LL KILL THEM AL BEFORE I HAVE TO SELL MYSELF."

Park jimin would never hurt him but it didnt stop him from being thouroughly frightened and let out a sigh of relief when thing went back to normal. His friend's eyes shifting back to thier original brown color as he collapsed on the couch.

Taehyung exhaled, glancing down at the two broken down lying at his feet. He bent forward to gather the pieces and went to throw it in the kitchen's trashcan. He's busy making some rolled eggs when he heard thrashing and growling. He remembered something and panicking returned to the living room but it's too late.

An almost feral jimin had caught a sniff of something and he's growling.

Pheromons. Alpha's pheromons. His growls intensified just as a door down
the small open opened letting out someone he didn't know  jut already hated.

"You?" his voice echoeing around the room as someone new ventured into the living room. He tried to stop whatever was about to happen from occuring

"JK." shouting the name. The stranger stared up, wide eyes.

The taller one was about to reply when his eyes caught the omega's and
words died on his tongue. He stood, frozen.

"What's wrong with you chim, its just JK?" he snapped whirling around to glare at the omega who didn't stop growling even adter knowing the name of the stranger.

It's the moment JK chose to jolted out of it. he glanced down at his feet.

"Maybe I should leave." he tried.

"What are you even doing here to begin with?" spat jimin

His friend gave him an eyeroll.

"He's the neighbour. No need to growl he is a nice kid."

The omega scoffed.

"He is an alpha." he spat pointing an accusatory finger at the newcomer who shrunk on himself a little more.

"No way. I know him." Retorted taehyung, chuckling.

"I have a nose. He reeks from miles away the alpha's pheromons."

Taehyung cursed.

"Shit! I didn't know. He whirled around to JK. "Is it true?"

"Yes. Whispered the alpha.

"Told you so. Now you will need to move out because this place now reek
of his pheromons." snarled jimin, arms crossed over his chest

Taehtung still looked at JK, unconvinced.

"I know him he is the sweetest guy i've ever met he lives across me with his brothers and i just can't fathom how he'd be an alpha. H-he just doesn't look like the entitled, full of shit kind i met like your cousin."

"I couldn't give a singe fuck about what he is like. What's doing showering at your place?" The human sighed, knowing full well his friend wouldn't drop it.

He scraped the nape of his head.

"Sometimes I let him and his brothers use my bathroom since theirs is still not fixed." he admitted. Still surprised that werewolves moved across from him and he never knew. He's losing his touch

"Why?"

He shrugged. It'd seemed lilke a good idea he couldnt let them fend  for themselves when he'd a well functioning shower that could settle their problem.

"Hyung I will leave, thanks again for letting me use your bathroom before my  class." stammered the alpha before hurrying past them to the door. It opened and slammed shut.

"I still can't believe it. He is a real nice kid and he is shy as hell. How can he
be an alpha. he wondered, perplexed as he stared at the closed door.

"They are all the same." decreeded jimin with a gesture of his hand. Now that the detestable alpha had left he's feeling more and more calm. He sat back down.

"Exactly why I'm flabbergasted because he is not at all like that. He is respectful, empathetic and nice." The omega snorted, annoyed at his friend listing the qualities of an alpha. The human sat down next to him

"Perhaps that's what you need, someone nice decent and inexperienced who will have no sight on what you have and wiln only have eyes for you " he cackled at his own joke hoping for his bestie to follow him but when he didn't he looked back up, blew away by the calculating glee back in the omega's brown orbs  It never foreboded something good whenever he saw shone inside his eyes a glow such as this one.

"You are a genuis, Tae!" He exclaimed after a long moment of silence, jumping to his feet.

"Please don't do whatever you are thinking of chim." he begged knowing full well it's useless because once he'd something in mind his bestfriend never gave up.

Swinging the wooden door open, he crossed the small hallway to knock on the opposing door. It didn't take long for the other man to open it. The omega plastered a fake warm smile on his lips as he overtly checked him out from head to toe. He's indeed attractive. He hadn't noticed earlier blinded as hed been by anger. Tall with a superbly muscled body emphasized by black tight jeans and a gray turtleneck sweater. The anpha ran a hand through disheveled jet black locks, licking his lips but stopped dead when he crossed the omegan's amused gaze.

His mouth slackened.

"-huh, yeah?" he eloquently said after a blink.

The omega smirked.

"I want to apologize for my reaction earlier." lying blatantly. He needed an
excuse and this was the most effective to strike up a conversation. He knew
that alphas were all weak to an omega and this one was no exception.

He marked a pause, blushing. The alpha gawked.

"You are the lost beautiful person i've ever seen." blurting out awkwardly. He blushed harder and lowered his head.

"Thanks you." It's almost too easy. He grinned

"-huh."

"Do you want to be my mate?"
