'In the frame of night, we’re like a painting'

Jimin grunted as a sharp shot of pain was pressed under his belly.

Can situation get any worse?

He was brought into the cell after he had vomitted on Lisa. But not before he received a slap from her in disgust. While they were bringing him to the cell, one of the guards tried to touch him inappropriately. But it ended up Jimin growling animalistic at them. And fortunately they didn't do anything to him, in fear of having to face Lisa. Even if he was locked up for infidelity, he was still her Omega. And touching Queen's Omega meant death.

But Jimin couldn't blame them for touching him. He had an idea that he was releasing his pheromones unconsciously. His estrus was about to start. The guards must have smelled him, it wasn't much, but probably mistook it for his 'disease'.

Jimin remembered when Lisa had ordered the guards to take him away. And he looked at her with tearful eyes.

"A-alpha... Do I mean anything to you?", He had asked silently.

"No. Since you decided to be dirty whore for some town Alphas... No.", She said coldly. And Jimin was dragged away all chained up and whimpering due to his worsening condition.

But for his good luck, this incident was reported to the Old King and Jinyoung had sent someone to summon Sungwoon immediately.

"Jimin!!", Sungwoon whispered in slight shock to see the Omega curled up in one of the corner uncaring about the dirt lathering up over the place.

He immediately reached up to the Omega and helped him sit up. He was surprised the Jimin's temperature was slightly high. He had almost misunderstood that the Omega was running fever until he smelled a tinge of smell of spring waters.

He was shocked. Jimin never had heats. But there could be only one explanation.

Now that he finally had found his fated mate, his Omega was surfacing up and wants to lure his Alpha in to mate him.

Jimin just voicelessly whimpered and struggled to keep a straight face. It was a nice thing that he was still conscious because his heat hadn't stroke him yet it seemed.

Sungwoon looked at the cell door if anyone was watching and covered him in a blanket that was kept at a side. He quickly opened the jar of salve and lathered on the Omega's scent gland before he could stink up the whole place.

He had only one alpha guard standing on guard while he treated Jimin, but that it wasn't something to worry about, since he was his friend.

"Jimin, I need you to swallow this? We can't let Lisa know about your heat yet...", He said holding a small pill to Jimin's lips to swallow. He couldn't let Lisa know about Jimin's heat yet, since it really was not good timing and also Jimin was still not over the fact that he has a fated mate. He knew Lisa now really won't consider Jimin's wish and she would forcefully mate him now that Jimin's heat was finally here.

And on top of that, she would know Jimin had lied about his scent all over his life. He just couldn't risk it so he needed to suppress his heat before anyone could know about it. So he tried to press the pill to Jimin's lips until Jimin held his hand and looked at him with tired eyes.

Sungwoon's heart broke at the sight. Teary eyes, flushed face, dirty clothes and bruised up cheek...

"I.. I need a favour h-hyung.", Jimin panted.

"What favour?", He asked tentatively.

"I need to get out of here. Right now."

Sungwoon looked at him in surprise.

"W-what?"

"Help me get out of here hyung. P-please...", He let out a grunt that was more likely the sign of his upcoming heat wave.

"Jimin... I can't, you know. I would get you out but, you need to stay here for now. I will try my best to get you out—"

"I want to get out now.", Jimin cut him off firmly. "I need to go.", He finished.

"Where?"

"To find him—"

"Whom—", Sungwoon asked but then he realised whom he was talking about. His eyes widened.

"Jimin!! You can't. Not in this condition when you're about to go—", he tried to convince.

"I need to meet him!! I- I will be back.", Jimin screamed before started panting. The pain was getting worse with each passing second.

Sungwoon looked at him for few seconds. He knew it wasn't very thoughtful to let an Omega in heat to go out. And that too, when he is demanding to meet his fated mate. But looking at Jimin's face, he knew Jimin knew what he was doing.

And Sungwoon was scared of it...

He was scared of the consequences...

"Think again Jimin—"

"I have thought thoroughly Hyung. Lisa herself said that I was a no one to her. Nit only that, she proved it too... Is there something left I need to hold onto?", He asked pain lacing his voice as he clutched on his blanket. Sungwoon sighed and looked behind to face his friend, the alpha guard.

"Chanyeol, can you get Jimin out of here?", He asked and the tall guard seemed to think about it for a while.

"I think I knew a secret path."

"Good. Can you accompany him—"

"I will go alone. I just need help to get out of the prison..", Jimin said. They both looked at him and slowly nodded, a little unsure. But didn't have much time to waste. It was past midnight, so it might be easy for now to get out.

Sungwoon helped Jimin get up not before giving him the jar of salve for obvious reasons. Chanyeol, who was an alpha, was keeping distance from the Omega since it wasn't good to keep the Omega in heat near yourself. Especially when it was the Luna of their Kingdom. Jimin looked at both of them gratefully. They both were literally risking there lives for him. He was thankful to have them.

Chanyeol lead him outside the cell but Jimin stopped and looked at Sungwoon.

"Can you give me a medicine to avoid pregnancy?"

________________________

Honest to his words, Chanyeol helped Jimin out of the prison through a secret path. And Jimin take his hands gratefully and asked him to wait there for him.

Chanyeol just nodded, taking it as an order. Even if Jimin was imprisoned, he still respected him as a Luna. So he just stood there, waiting for the Omega's return.

Jimin walked with wobbly legs. Trying to hold his pain to bay until he reached the Riverside. He knew he would find the Alpha there. If not, he will not hesitate go at their pack base to find him.

But it seemed like Jimin's luck was on his side.

Alpha was sitting there on one of the rocks looking at nothing. Buried deep in some thoughts.

Dried leaves crunched under his feet as he took slow steps towards him. The sound was enough to alert him. Jungkook was ed out of the thoughts hearing the footsteps.

He turned to see who was it was left shocked. He knew that the Omega had been imprisoned. He knew he has ruined him for good, then what he was doing here? And how did he came out?

He stood up, not able to contain his surprised face. But soon he composed himself to change it to amused one.

He just watched Omega who neared him slowly while clutching on the blanket that covered him small body. His disheveled state of braided hair, dirty clothes and bruise littered face. It should give him a satisfaction that he was successful in ruining him.

But why did it pained him to see him like this?

Almost like he wanted to growl...

Like he wanted to go on a killing rampage for even daring to touch him....

But he didn't let it show. Instead he pulled off a smirk like he had no care of the Omega's state.

"I see you sneaked out again... Why? Does your alpha—"

Jimin didn't let him complete the sentence.  Before that he had caught the Alpha by his shirt and pulled him press his lips over his in a searing hot kiss...
