When Jimin got home from his sleepover with Yoongi, Jungkook was quick to jump up from where he was sat on the bed with a grin, "you're back!" He spoke excitedly and Jimin frowned, "Uh... yeah...why are you so exc-"

"You smell weird." Jungkook cut in as he got closer to the omega, "um... sorry?" He questioned as Jungkook frowned and sniffed a little, "ugh you smell like the mint haired kid."

"His name is Yoongi and yeah makes sense we did sleep together-" Jimin started and Jungkook's eyes bulged almost out of their sockets, "you slept together!?"

"Woah! Chill! I meant like, we slept next to each other, but sleeping was all that occurred." Jimin frowned before moving past Jungkook to put his bag back in his cupboard, "still, he's an alpha right Jimin? You should be more careful, don't go sleeping next to alphas." Jungkook huffed and Jimin raised an eyebrow.

"Who are you to tell me who I can and can't sleep next to, he's my friend Jungkook, him being an alpha or anything else wouldn't make a difference." The omega spoke sternly and Jungkook looked taken back, "really? So, even though he's an alpha, you don't really see him that way?"

"No Jungkook, unfortunately you make such a big deal out of being an alpha that that's all I really see of you- I think of you and the word Alpha is what comes to my head, but when I think of Yoongi that's one of the last things I'd use to describe him." Jimin shrugged and Jungkook frowned, feeling a pang of jealousy.

"Well, I mean, I am an alpha so that makes sense." He huffed in annoyance, failing miserably at justifying himself, "I know Kook, but is that all you want to be, you don't want to be - Jungkook: the sweet and kind boy who makes everyone smile? You'd rather just be - Jungkook: the alpha?"

The aforementioned frowned even harder at that, that's not all people think about when they think of me, surely I'm more than just an alpha...

"Yeah well all you're known for is being an omega!" Jungkook snapped and Jimin rolled his eyes, "honestly I'm so done arguing with you about stuff like this. You see me as an omega Jungkook, I understand that that's all you really see, but my other friends don't see me that way, and I'm sure Taehyung does see more in you than just an alpha. But I wish you'd show that to more people."

Jungkook sighed, he's stubborn, so all he wanted to do was come up with some stupid counter-argument to insult Jimin in some way since he was feeling so bad about himself. But instead he accepted that Jimin was right. Taehyung really was the only person who saw more of who he really was.

Jungkook is carefree and almost acts like a sweet little child when he and Taehyung are alone, most of the time anyway. But nobody else has ever seen that side of him, especially not Jimin.

"I guess you're right, as usual." He huffed with a pout and Jimin smiled softly, "hey you've been opening up a little more recently, please keep it up Kook-Ah, I wanna learn more about you. We've had 17 years to know everything about each other but we both built our own walls and blocked off certain aspects of ourselves from one another."

Jungkook nodded with a small smile, "Hm, yeah I guess. I still just get tense when you're around, when I'm with Tae I feel so free but when you're here I'm constantly on edge and feel snappier. Doesn't help you're still such a whore." He scoffed and Jimin lost his hopeful smile.

"Jungkook I'm someone who needs attention, that's just who I am, I'm sorry it bothers you but at least I try to keep that part of myself away from you. Yes I sleep with a lot of people, but I have done for years now so why can't you just get over it?" Jimin was tired of having the same insult hurled at him by the younger, it was almost as though that was the only negative thing Jungkook could say about him anymore.

"It's gross, it's not a normal thing I should have to get over, it's normal to not be a slut. So you should stop." Jungkook spoke strongly, he really did think he was right, "me sleeping with other people doesn't cause you any harm- and like I've said, I'm not a home wrecker, I only sleep with un-mated alphas. So I'm not harming anyone and I'm enjoying myself- not only that but a lot of them pay me... it's my life Jungkook you can't tell me what I can and can't do if it's not affecting yours."

Jimin was done with the conversation and so sat down onto his bed and pulled his phone out, ready to send Yoongi a text to see if he'd woken up yet.

"I just wish you didn't want to sleep with all those dirty men Jimin, especially now we're like, I dunno, trying to get along. It just really bugs me that you feel enjoyment out of sleeping with a different man each night." Jungkook cringed and his insides started twisting as he thought about it.

Part of him felt a little jealous for some reason, not because he wanted to sleep around or with Jimin... he wasn't sure why, maybe the whole attention thing again. Jungkook had grown up not knowing any of Jimin's friends and only really thinking of him as his friend.

'Friend' was a bit far though, whatever relationship they had, Jungkook grew up forgetting that Jimin obviously had other people in his life, and he liked the thought of being the only person Jimin spent time with. But now he'd met some of his friends, and kept hearing about all these strangers he spent nights with...

Jungkook was Jealous that Jimin didn't only need him in his life.

It made the alpha feel a little useless and he hated that Jimin could make him feel any less than the powerful gorgeous alpha he was.

"Whatever you say won't change what I do Jungkook." The older responded after a few moments of silence, flicking his eyes up from his phone to lock onto Jungkook's, before going back down as his fingers typed out a message to his mint-haired-Hyung.

Jungkook sighed before sitting on the end of the bed and grabbing Jimin's TV remote to find something to watch, "hey can we watch Iron Man?" He asked after a while of searching, "I watched it with Yoongi last night." Jimin mumbled his response before giggling slightly at whatever he was reading on his phone.

"Seriously? You watched my favourite movie with him last night?" Jungkook was getting pissed now, "yeah, I didn't think you'd even be here today, besides, when was the last time we watched a movie together? How was I supposed to know Jungkook?" He shrugged and Jungkook frowned with a salty pout.

He knew Jimin was right again and there was no way he would have known not to watch Iron Man the night before, but it still annoyed him, "well I'm putting it on anyway, it's not like you're even watching the TV." He scoffed and shuffled up the bed to sit against the headboard beside Jimin- just to get comfier.

"Yeah it's fine, I'm texting Tae." He giggled again and Jungkook's eyes widened as he looked down to Jimin's phone.

TaeTae💜
You're so adorable, so you're saying that you're embarrassed of your smile because it makes your eyes disappear? But that's so cute though Hyung! ☺️
11:56am

Jimin
Yeah Tae, it's not cute it's annoying, and I always lean on people when I'm laughing, I know it can be annoying for those around me so I try not to laugh too much 😅
11:57am

"Is that why you never smile or laugh?" Jungkook asked with a small concerned frown and Jimin looked up to him in shock, "why are you reading my messages!? And no, you never see me smile or laugh because you never make me do either of those things! Besides, I actually have smiled a lot around you, you just never pay it any attention because you're too busy insulting me or telling me to fuck off."

Jimin looked back to his phone as it vibrated with a response from Taehyung and Jungkook sighed, "I know you do sometimes, just not a lot. Sorry I can't make you laugh." He spoke sarcastically and Jimin stopped typing to look up and frown at the rude alpha.

"You know what Jungkook, going off of what I've heard from Taehyung you probably could make me laugh if you weren't so busy hating me for no reason even after saying we'd try and get along." Jimin snapped and Jungkook rolled his eyes, "I am trying to get along with you, you're the one making it difficult."

"There's only one thing about me that bothers you though Jungkook: the fact that I sleep with other people. It's not something that should bother you! It's got nothing to do with you so I'm not going to change that for your benefit. You won't change anything for my benefit so why should I do that for you?" He put his phone away and sat up straighter to turn and face Jungkook properly, prepared to actually try and figure out a compromise with the younger.

"Well what would you want me to change?" The younger frowned and mirrored Jimin's movement, wondering what the boy actually disliked about him since the only insult he ever really used was brat, "stop acting all high and mighty just because you're an alpha- treat me like your friend, not like an omega." Jimin spoke sternly and the Jungkook scoffed.

"I can't do that Jimin, it's literally impossible, you wouldn't understand because you're an-"

"I'm an omega yes I know Jungkook you've said many times! But I do understand, Yoongi is an alpha and he said to me last night that he sees everyone equal, that he hates how some alphas treat omegas like objects, if he can think that way why can't you?" Jimin was getting upset, he hated being belittled by Jungkook and was almost ready to give up on trying to get him to see reason.

"I... I don't know okay!? It's not even everyone, Tae is a beta... I don't treat him any different to other alphas? But you just stress me out, I just want you to stay right here all the time and not talk to anyone else or sleep with anyone else and- and you make me feel useless, you're the only person in my life that I've ever been pushed to and made to feel like that's my purpose. When you talk about all these other people I don't know and I don't know what you're doing with them it makes me worried and I hate it and-"

Jungkook's chest was heaving and he couldn't look Jimin in the eye as he was speaking, he was getting really worked up just having to think about everything that made him get so angry, "woah... Kook-Ah, calm down..." Jimin almost whispered.

The older of the two was trying his best to stay calm as Jungkook's angry pheromones were the strongest they'd ever been, he was huffing and panting and completely tensed but Jimin decided he would risk trying to help.

"Hey, come on there's no need to get all like this is there?" He spoke softly and laid a hand on Jungkook's shoulder, his body immediately slumped a little as his muscles relaxed and his eyes looked up to finally meet Jimin's, "I..."

"Shhh~ it's okay. I'm sorry." The omega shuffled a little closer to Jungkook and hesitantly wrapped his arms around his shoulders, he brought one hand up to Jungkook's head and gently ran his fingers through the younger boy's hair.

Jungkook sighed and leant forward, resting his head on the omega's shoulder and inhaling the calming scent, slowing his breathing and closing his eyes softly.

"I didn't know you felt that way, I'm glad you said something about it, but I don't know how much of that I'll actually be able to help with... I do have other friends Jungkook, so do you though? We can't just live only being friends with each other, especially when we can barely handle being friends as it is." Jimin spoke with such a quiet soothing voice that Jungkook could almost feel himself about to cry.

He was being so sweet, and Jungkook could sense the guilt in his voice even though he hadn't done anything wrong. The fact that the omega cared enough about the stupid and irrational things the younger boy wanted- enough to make him even feel guilty for not being able to do those things- made Jungkook feel like the most awful person on the planet.

"How are you so selfless Jimin?" Jungkook finally breathed out, his own arms having made their way to Jimin's waist, holding him close like he never wanted to let go, "What do you mean Kook?" He tried to pull back to look at Jungkook in the eyes but the younger immediately tensed and gripped him tighter.

"Don't let go... please. Somehow, you're really helping..." Jungkook sighed and relaxed when Jimin nodded and held him close again, "I know it's dumb, I complain about you all the time but I hate when I see you with anyone that's not me, I think I get jealous but I'm not sure why." Jungkook admitted and Jimin found himself blushing.

"I know I shouldn't take that as any sort of hint that you actually enjoy being around me but I can't help but feel a little happy knowing you're finally opening up to me more." Jimin smiled a little and his stomach did a little flip when he felt Jungkook smile against his shoulder and even heard a small chuckle.

"Hm, well I suppose I do enjoy being around you, especially now I'm not with Lalisa, I feel like without her negative opinion on you I'll be able to really focus on trying to be your friend. Cause I really want to." He took one final deep breath before pulling away from Jimin.

"I really appreciate you being honest with me, this is nice." The older was still blushing slightly, having to spend that long so close to Jungkook without any fear meant he was only focusing on everything positive about the younger.

Even though Jungkook had always been mean to him, Jimin couldn't help but still always want his approval and affection, so hearing him say that he enjoyed the omega's company made him all giddy inside.

Jungkook studied the way Jimin was smiling so sweetly with that little rosy blush, maybe boys can be pretty?

He frowned at his own thought before coughing and moving back from Jimin, turning back to the TV only to realise he'd started to play Iron man and already missed the first 15 minutes.

"Oh... we can put something else on if you watched this last night." Jungkook suggested and briefly looked back to Jimin who had his eyes glued back to his phone, "I don't mind watching it again, I know it's your favourite, just let me reply to Taehyung and then I'll sit and watch it properly with you okay?"

The way Jimin looked up to smile in reassurance to Jungkook made his chest swell with warmth and he hated it.

Well he didn't actually hate it, he hated that it felt nice.

"Sure, whatever." He spoke kind of harshly and bit his lip, glaring at the TV. Jimin suppressed a sigh and quickly sent a small apology message to Taehyung, both for disappearing mid-conversation and for having to say goodbye.

Just as he sent it and moved to sit back against the headboard of the bed his phone dinged again but this time it was Yoongi, "Ah, I promise this will be the last message then I'll watch it with-"

"I don't care Jimin do whatever you want." Jungkook huffed and the older almost wanted to cry, he hated how quickly Jungkook's attitude could change- and he didn't want to have to choose between him and Yoongi... but he knew this could be the only chance he gets to really give Jungkook a reason to not hate him.

He read the message from Yoongi and looked back up to Jungkook before sighing and turning off his phone, "I'm sorry, I'm here, I'm ready to watch." He smiled as sweetly as he could and Jungkook felt heat rise up to his cheeks in embarrassment, "Ah... you didn't need to do that..." he suddenly felt guilty for his outburst but Jimin just looked away and shook his head, "it's okay, I wanted to."
