Chapter Text

Jungkook was so drunk .

Drunk to the point that the blaring music in the bar became a blur, even though some of his favourite songs were playing. Drunk to the point that he couldn’t even taste the flavor of the olive he was sucking on that came with his martinis. Some of them were on the house, some of them were bought for him by hunky alphas who thought they had a chance with him. 

The omega entertained them — from letting out fake laughs at their google-searched pick-up lines to dancing with them at the most offbeat songs they requested the DJ to play.

Now he was slouching on a leather sofa in the VIP corner of the bar, absent-mindedly sucking on the olives while his friends were either passed out beside him or running towards the washroom to throw up. Jungkook was used to the intoxicating stench of all of their scents mixed together with the alcohol. He was used to the electrifying energy of the bar crowd. But he didn’t know whether he liked it or not. 

But he was here every night, at the same bar, with the same friends and the same entertainment… too wasted to hate the monotony of it all.

He was the kind of omega who had everything – a rich family to fulfill his desires, wants, needs and wishes. His parents even had an open mind to give him the opportunity to educate himself so he could, one day, take over his father’s business empire. 

An average omega would kill to have all the privileges and riches that Jungkook has, but he couldn’t care less about it. Ever since he successfully finished his MBA course, which came as a surprise to his friends and an expectation fulfilled for his parents, the omega had been wasting his time trying to feel alive at bars, clubs, and wherever else his pack of friends took him.

Tonight was one of their usual bar nights. When they reached the place, everyone was hyped up to have a good time. Until they all exhausted themselves and retired to the cozy VIP corner a few hours later, completely unaware of the time. It was past 1 am, way beyond the hours Jungkook was allowed to stay out till.

But it never posed any danger for him, because he knew his parents’ sleeping schedule and had honed impressive sneaking-in skills over the past few years. 

However, the omega had a limit. He needed his beauty sleep too, so after kissing his still conscious friends goodbye, he tried to make his way out of the bar without stumbling over people — until he almost tripped an alpha and then had the audacity to breathe a curse at him.

He looked like one of those rich assholes who lived on their parents’ money for as long as they could, a category much worse than the one Jungkook came in.

“Look where you’re fucking going, these are limited edition LV boots!” The omega cursed at him before bending down to wipe the strip of dust on his expensive boots, unknowingly giving the alpha a compromising view of the silk lace peeking out of his leather skirt.

“Are you a limited edition too?” Jungkook scoffed at the cringe statement, giving the stranger a disgusted look before striding out of there. The fresh air outside relieved his senses and normalised his scent, making him feel much better.

He got into his Maserati, took a few breaths and drove away from the bar, not bothered about violating the drunk driving rules. Every time he got caught, he twirled his luscious long, black hair and flirted his way out of it, successful each time. The city alphas were so fucking easy .

His whole life has been easy. But if he were to say the only thing that wasn’t easy in his life — it was to please Jeon Ji-hyuk, his father. Jungkook had spent more than half his life doing everything he could to get praised by the rigid alpha. Yet now he was twenty-five and refused to give a single flying fuck about the man.

He had started living for himself from the age of twenty, and it was going rather well. Or not. He didn’t know. And at this hour, he didn’t care .

Stopping his car by the Jeon mansion’s gate and letting one of the chauffeurs take it into the garage, the omega snuck in through the door and tiptoed across the dark hallway. He was about to go up the marble staircase that led to his bedroom floor when the hall lights suddenly turned on, burning through his hazy eyes.

But the unexpected sight of his father — arms folded, an infuriated expression and burning scent filling the room — immediately shook him out of his clouded state.

They had a sort of stare-down competition between the two of them. With Jungkook standing stiff by the staircase while Ji-hyuk leaned by the doorframe of the parents’ bedroom, not much of a distance between them. 

Meanwhile, the omega’s mother stood behind her husband and tried not to giggle at their rather cute interaction. Jeon Eun-jung was a reserved woman, she showed her true emotions only with her family.

“ Jeon Jungkook. ” The alpha finally spoke up, making his son slightly flinch at the strict mention of his name. “Do you think a young, unmated omega like you should be roaming out in the city at such late night? Have you even seen the time??”

“Yes, I have. It’s 2:30 am.” Jungkook answered back, a sassy lilt to his voice. “Are you aware of my age? I’m twenty-five. I can do whatever the hell I want.” 

Maybe it was the alcohol in his system, maybe it was the usual sarcastic tone in which he talks with his father. Nevertheless, Ji-hyuk was beyond pissed. “Are you drunk?! Tell me the truth.”

“Maybe I am. Do you have a problem with that, Appa?”

“I have a problem with every irresponsible thing that you have been doing since you completed your studies last month.” The alpha confessed, anger discernible in his voice. “Staying out till 2 am every single night! Is this what the so-called pride of our family has come to?! I am very disappointed in you, Jungkook.”

The omega scoffed at that, very much expecting to hear those words. It’s always ‘ I am so disappointed in you ’ or ‘ You could do much better ’ every time he has a conversation with his father. He’s fucking sick of this.

“Ask me if I care.” Jungkook replied to him with a scornful smile, turning his back to the alpha as he started climbing up the staircase — but stopped instantly when he heard Eun-jung’s stern voice call for him.

“Come back down right now and listen to your father, Jeon Jungkook.”

Fuck it. He can’t say no to his mother, she has this insane moral control on him. Well, it’s also because she passionately stands up for her son at times he is right, too. 

“What is it? What do you want?!” The omega complained, facing his parents again with a frustrated demeanour. “If I am such a disappointment, then why are you still bothered about me?? Just leave me alo—”

“Enough! I have had enough of you!” Ji-hyuk interrupted him between his rant, not wanting to tolerate the disrespectful tone and behavior of the young omega anymore. “It is very late at night right now, so I will speak to you in the morning. Don’t you dare think that I have let you off the hook. This rude and irresponsible behaviour of yours will no longer be tolerated.”

“Ughh whatever! Hope you have a good night!” Jungkook screamed at his father before stomping up the stairs, leaving behind his parents in not much of a disbelief. They really didn’t know why their son had become like this, but they could see their young selves in him. 

“I am going to straighten him out.” Ji-hyuk uttered the statement with a determined voice, unaware of his wife standing behind and looking at him with a smug expression. 

“Jagiya, our son is gay.”

“Stop twisting my words! You know what I mean.”

She very well knew what he meant. But for the other omega who had plopped himself on his plush bed without changing into his night clothes, absolutely unbothered about how rashly he behaved with his parents — things were not going to mean well the next morning.

❥❥❥❥

“ Fuck …fucking hell.” It was nearly noon when he woke up, rolling around in his pink fluffy blanket as he cursed at the throbbing headache he was having. It was all thanks to the martinis from last night. 

He purposefully woke up a bit late today, so he could avoid facing his father in the morning. Surprisingly, neither of his parents came to his room to wake him up, making him feel a bit suspicious. Shrugging his thoughts off soon enough, the omega finally got out of his party clothes, scrunching his nose at the weird smell it was giving off as he dumped it in the laundry basket. 

Another lesson learnt on how an omega should not entertain so many alphas with differing scents in one single night.

Feeling much better after he took a quick shower and got into a comfy pair of shorts and a furry purple hoodie, Jungkook stepped out of his room cautiously.  He peeked from the top of the staircase at the dining table area to check if it was safe to go down. 

Spotting no parent in sight, he slowly descended the stairs and made his way to the kitchen, absent-mindedly preparing a bowl of cereal and milk for himself. He took it to the island table and sat on one of the stools, waiting for the milk to make the cereal a bit mushy. 

While doing so, he felt his headache start to fade away as he took the chance to scroll through his phone and see his friends’ instagram posts from last night, with him being in the center of them as always. He loves being the center of attention in his friend group, they spoil him well.

A smile finally cracked on his face as he chose a few photos from his gallery to post as well, seeing the pictures uploading while he ate a spoonful of his cereal — well, at least it touched his mouth before the omega spat it out when he felt a firm hand on his shoulder and a familiar scent of tuberose invading his senses.

“Good afternoon, Jungkook. We have been waiting for you.” There was a polite smile on Ji-hyuk’s face as he took a seat beside his son, who was surprised to see him in his home clothes even though it was a weekday. His mother, in similar fashion, stood on the other side as she rested her hands on the island table, now both of them surrounding Jungkook.

“You might be smart, but your parents are smarter.” Eun-jung stated with a smirk, enjoying the shocked expression on her son’s face. “Now, your father has planned two things for you. I expect you to listen to him without a word from your mouth, alright?”

“...O-Okay?” The omega stuttered, all his confidence from last night vanished in thin air. He cursed himself internally for putting milk into his cereals when what he needed to dunk them in now was an entire bottle of beer.

The three of them had a moment of silence before the alpha sighed and spoke up, “Jungkook. Before I tell you what I’ve planned, I want you to know that me and your mother just want the best for you. We have given you a lot of freedom since your childhood but now it has gotten to your head. So,” Ji-hyuk momentarily paused as he was handed an ipad by his wife, unlocking it and then scrolling through the gallery before he clicked on an image of what looked like a farmhouse in the midst of a huge expanse of grasslands. “Let me tell you a story about my young days, Jungkook.”

There was a fond smile on the alpha’s face as he spoke about his memories connected to the farmhouse in the photo. He was the same age as Jungkook when his father had sent him there to learn a lesson on how hard work and taking responsibility of your life is essential to be a successful person. Ji-hyuk was just as stubborn and careless as the omega had become in the past month, after the completion of his studies. What he needed was an eye-opener, and his father told him that volunteering at the farm, just like he himself did in his young days , would teach him a lot of good values and serve to be a beautiful change from the humdrum of city life.

“I have already made the arrangements, you will be staying with the Kim family for a month as I did, they’re lovely people. It’s a simple barter system with them, you help them with farm work and they’ll take care of all your needs. Now, I really hope you agree to do this.” Ji-hyuk explained and then gauged the offended expression on the omega’s face — mouth open, eyebrows furrowed and eyes blown wide — not surprised by it. If he was hard to please, then his son was even harder to please. “If you don’t want to do this, then it’s okay. I won’t force you.”

A wave of relief hit Jungkook’s senses, his frown turning into a faint smile. Too early , the next sentence from his father brought back the frown tenfold.

“But then I will very well force you to marry one of my business friends’ sons. They are quite responsible and respectful alphas who can take care of you and give you whatever you want because I am sure as hell not going to tolerate your tantrums and disrespectful behaviours anymore.”

What. The. Fucking. Hell .

“Appa what the fuck! You can’t do that to m—”

“Jeon Jungkook, mind your language! I have had enough of you, and now I have given you two very reasonable options to choose from. You either go to the farmhouse and come back after surely having had a valuable experience there, or you don’t go and I marry you off in a month to one of my friends’ sons. The decision is yours.”

The choices didn’t seem reasonable to Jungkook at all. He looked at his mother desperately to help him get out of this awful situation, but even she gave him a stern expression and stood unrelenting. He then looked at his father in disbelief, anger building inside him. He was truly fucked .

“Ughh I hate you! I fucking hate you! Both of you!” He screamed in their faces before getting out of the chair in a hurry and running away from there, cutely stomping up the staircase when he heard Ji-hyuk’s voice come from the kitchen.

“So I’m assuming you’ll go to the farm?! Great! You will love it there!!”

“ Go to hell! ” Jungkook shouted at them one last time from the top of the staircase before locking himself in his room, letting out all his anger by screaming into his rainbow hello-kitty plushie pillow.

A whole fucking month working at a farm?! Jungkook would rather chew glass. But he had to agree. It was a much better choice than getting married off to one of the asshole alphas who his father thinks are ‘ responsible sons ’ of his business friends. He had seen them, spent some time with them. ‘ Responsible and respectful ’ was nowhere in the room with those sons of bitches.

Later, at dinner, Ji-hyuk explained to him in detail about how his one-month stay at the farmhouse will be like — the transport, a bit about the Kim family, the work he’ll have to do there, will there be wifi or not . The omega sat through it with an angry pout but he lost it when his father said that he will have to leave for the farm the day after tomorrow.

And that resulted in Jungkook locking himself in his room again, screaming into his hello-kitty pillow for the nth time until he exhausted himself to sleep. 

The entire next day went in packing for the trip — with him sitting on his bed, arms crossed and an enraged pout as the house maids packed all of his clothes & hygiene products into his favourite three-piece set of pink hearts themed suitcases.

He didn’t let any of them touch his makeup kit though, not even knowing if he’ll need it there. But of course he will want to take it there with him, it’s one of his few comfort remedies. Right now, the omega sat in front of his vanity mirror as he applied a hint of blush on his cheeks and a light shade of red on his lips, using the beauty blender to dab at the very real tears falling from his anguished eyes.

“Oh, Jungkookie, you’re so beautiful. They will work you like a pig there. It was nice being you.”

Giving himself a rather dramatic pep talk — he was, quite unfortunately, all ready to head to the Kims’ farm tomorrow.

❥❥❥❥

“Have fun! Send us a lot of photos from there!” Eun-jung gave Jungkook a bright smile as she and her husband waved at him from the house-gate. They watched their son get into the backseat of the car and then press the roll-down window button just to glare into their eyes and give them a middle finger before the chauffeur drove the car out of there, so further away from home .

“I could place a bet of 10 million won that he wi—”

“Jeon Ji-hyuk, mind your language. That is our son you’re talking about.”

While the parents hoped to see a positive change in him once he’s back from the farm, Jungkook hoped for the car to break down before the destination came so that he could get a chance to run away, really dreading all the work he will have to do at the farm. Even though his father inbuilt a warm and positive image of the Kim family in the omega’s mind, he’s still a bit skeptical about them.

It took around three hours from the Jeons’ mansion to reach the farm, with Jungkook napping throughout the journey. The chauffeur had to wake him up and tell him that they had arrived, prompting the omega to remove his pink eye mask, let out a back-arching yawn and step out of the car into the beautiful green landscape — breathing in the pure air that is quite difficult to find in big cities.

The Kims’ farmhouse stood in front of them as it was in the image Ji-hyuk showed him — surrounded with huge fields of flowers, vegetable beds, cattle-grazing spaces and grassy horse tracks.

“Fuck my life. This place is beautiful.”

Trying his best to not fall in love with the place, he stood by the trunk of the car as he commanded his chauffeur to bring the luggage out, who followed suit before getting into the car again and driving away, back to the city.

Jungkook never thought that one day he’d be jealous of his own chauffeur . 

He feared that his worst days were ahead of him.

But then he saw a tall man in cowboy attire heading his way, probably a member of the Kim family. A little girl came running behind him screaming “ Appa, appa! ” to which he turned around and lifted the girl in his arms, a cute smile on both of their faces. They greeted Jungkook with the loveliest ‘ hello! ’ in unison.

“Hi! I’m Jeon Jungkook, you must’ve gotten to know about me from my father. Is this little cutie your daughter?” He introduced himself and then asked the man, getting a strong scent of cinnamon from him — mostly attributed to omegas. 

“Oh, yes! Meet Somi, the apple of our eyes.” The omega introduced his daughter to Jungkook as his heart warmed at the sight of seeing the two smile and playfully wink at each other. “My name is Kim Seokjin. I’m the eldest child of the Kim family, as of this generation.” He let out a giggle before he continued, “Your father and mine had become good friends when he had come to visit our farm. I hope we can be the same!”

Sweetness oozed out of Seokjin’s welcoming voice and pretty smile, with his lovely daughter Somi giving the younger omega one of her cutest smiles and expressions. Maybe this place wasn’t so bad, afterall. Jungkook can survive here for a month.

The three of them chit-chatted a bit more as the elder omega helped him with the suitcases, Somi eager to do her part as well. Jungkook gave her his pink eye mask to play with, both the omegas laughing at how it was big enough to serve as a belt for her teeny tiny 5-year-old body.

“Everyone is really excited to meet you. We rarely get volunteers to come to our farm since it’s quite far away from the city and very culturally different from what you are used to, but don’t worry! We will take good care of you.”

There was a loving genuineness in Seokjin’s words. The younger omega does have trust issues, but somehow he felt comfortable here, at the Kims’ farm. Maybe it was the cute company, maybe it was the lush greenery and the pure air, or maybe it was—

Jungkook’s thoughts get cut off when he hears the sound of a horse galloping through the cattle fields to their left, not much far away from them. He saw a man on the horse, spinning a lasso in his hold as the horse helped him chase down a loose cow. The noose of the lasso got caught around the cow’s neck, slowing the animal down. The muscles it took to hold onto the lasso were prominent from far away, nerves bulging & flexing within Jungkook’s view.

The man on the horse had beautiful blond hair. He was clad in a typical cowboy outfit — denim shirt, slightly torn jeans, a beige hat and brown leather boots — coincidently making the man of Jungkook’s wet dreams come alive. 

He also had the most charming smile the omega had ever seen. Everything about him was so gorgeously raw . The way he gently caressed the cow while walking it back to the grazing space, the swift motion with which he climbed back on his horse and took it to the stable….

Fuck . The omega needed to see more of him. And he also needed to change into a new pair of shorts because, well, Jungkook may or may not have his thighs pathetically pressed together to stop the little leak of slick from running down his thighs.

“Hello? Jungkook? Are you not feeling well? Hello??” He got so lost in staring at the man on the horse that Seokjin’s voice almost fell deaf to his ears, coming back to reality only after Somi slightly pulled on his pink bomber jacket.

“Huh, y-yes? Who, umm, I…”

“Are you okay? You just froze on spot and then didn’t respond to us so we got worried.” The elder omega’s voice had a hint of concern in it, both him and Somi looking at Jungkook with a quizzical expression.

“Oh! Were you looking at Taehyung?” Seokjin guessed, his sentence making Somi smile brightly as she squealed ‘ taetae! ’ in her cute little voice.

“T-Taehyung? The man on the horse?”

“Hehe, yes. Kim Taehyung. He’s my younger brother and the second eldest child in our family.”

Kim Taehyung . What a hot name. Those two words were now the only ones revolving in Jungkook’s mind.

“He handles the whole farm, from crops to cattle. He’s really the pride of our family.”

Well, Jungkook is also the pride of his family. Won’t they make a perfect couple?

He no longer felt jealous of his chauffeur and just knew that his best days were ahead of him. The tables had turned pretty quickly.

Jeon Ji-hyuk was indeed right when he said that this farm-stay would be an eye opener for Jungkook. 

But the omega really hoped that he would get to open up various parts of himself during his stay here, especially for the man on the horse.

❥❥❥❥

The moment he stepped into the farmhouse, Jungkook’s eyes frantically searched for the charming alpha he had just seen outside, but he couldn’t spot him. 

Somi motioned her appa to put her down, running towards the younger omega and dragging him inside the moment her little feet touched the ground.

Jungkook was quite impressed by her strength, happily letting her drag him into the house until they arrived at the kitchen where the rest of the family was.

“Somi, calm down! You will break his hand!” Seokjin came shouting from behind, immediately separating his daughter from the omega as he lifted her up in his arms again.

Everyone giggled at her cute little antics, then shifted their focus on the newcomer. Jungkook felt a bit shy under their gaze, whispering a meek ‘ hello ’ to all of them.

“Welcome to our farm, sweetheart! We will try our best to make you feel at home.” Mrs. Kim spoke up as she finished washing the breakfast dishes, giving the omega a warm smile. 

“Thank you so much, you have a lovely farm.” He expressed his gratitude with a bright smile, feeling three pairs of eyes checking him out.

Two of them belonged to the daughters of the Kim family, So-yeon & Sang-mi.

Kim So-yeon was the only alpha female in their family, the third eldest child — just a year older than Jungkook.

Kim Sang-mi was the youngest sibling, a bubbly and sweet omega, freshly having turned twenty-three last month.

The third pair of curious eyes belonged to Min Jimin, not directly related to the Kim family, yet he loved to spend his time with them at the farmhouse. He was welcomed into the family when he married the Kim siblings’ cousin Min Yoongi about two years ago, now five months pregnant with their beloved child.

The three of them huddled around Jungkook, introducing themselves one by one with the sweetest smiles on their faces. They reminded him of his friends back at the city, yet a much purer version of them. 

Jungkook complimented and congratulated Jimin for the baby, while the other two girls gushed about how they had already thought of several names for the child. They spoke to the omega like he had been a part of their family for years, and that made his heart feel increasingly warm. 

“We’ve even prepared the room upstairs for you! When we got to know that you’re an omega, we tried to decorate it in the best way we assumed you would like.” Sang-mi gushed to him as the two girls told Jimin to rest downstairs and then dragged Jungkook to the first floor, showing him the simple and sweetly done bedroom they had prepared for him.

The bed had several assortments of blankets for the omega to choose from, with scented candles placed in every corner of the room. There was a vanity mirror, a big cupboard and all the other necessities present in the room that effectively pleased Jungkook. He didn’t know why he expected less, but what he saw was enough for him to live comfortably here for a long time. The bathroom even had a bathtub, making the omega squeal with happiness. Sang-mi joined him in the squealing and hugging, while So-yeon adored the two omegas bonding with each other so cutely.

Now, after the little room tour, the three of them sat by the bed as they helped Jungkook unpack his suitcases, engaging in normal chit-chat while doing so.

“I hope you like the scented candles, Jungkookie. When both of us went to the village market, we could only find forest-scented candles there but Sang-mi said they’re comforting enough for omegas, so we bought them.” Jungkook hummed to So-yeon’s words as he busied himself in setting up his makeup kit by the vanity mirror, not really paying attention to her until he heard her next sentence, “What a coincidence that they have the same scent as Taehyung oppa. He’s quite popular amongst the village people.” 

“W-What??” He couldn’t believe it. It was like everything in the universe was working its ass off to get him and his new crush together. Or maybe it was just him deluding himself with the cheesy thoughts.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Wait, did Seokjin oppa tell you about Taehyungie?” So-yeon asked him as she scratched her nape, getting a few tuts from her sister. 

“Y-Yes, he did. But not much, please tell me more!”

And so , both the girls started yapping about their charming elder brother while the omega left whatever he was doing and started lighting up all the scented candles in the room. He paid close attention to each & every word that came from their mouth.

From telling him basic information about the alpha — his kind & gentlemanly personality, how he was the main breadwinner of the family and his daily routine to random facts about Taehyung like how he was so popular amongst the omegas in the village, and had even gone on dates with a few but never really clicked with any of them. He was unmated . If that, Jungkook thought, wasn’t another sign about how he and the alpha might actually be fated to be together, then you could call him delulu because he’s really thinking like one.

“It’s actually funny that he’s the most sought after alpha in our village yet still unmated.” Sang-mi said it with a giggle, this time getting an annoyed nudge from her unnie.

“Did you forget about me? I’m equally sought after too.” So-yeon justified herself with a sassy flick of her long, lustrous jet black hair as she pulled up her shirt sleeve and flexed her bicep muscles with a proud smile.

“Oh, please . Hobi oppa, even while being a beta, is way more sought after than you.” Sang-mi teased her as the two started hitting each other with the bed pillows before realising that they were in Jungkook’s room, spoiling their own hard work that had gone into tastefully preparing the place.

But the omega didn’t mind it. He found the two sisters really fun to be with. 

They continued to talk about the alphas in the family even after all the unpacking & organising was done. Taking a brief break in between as Sang-mi quickly went down to the kitchen and bought some snacks for the three of them to munch on while chatting.

“Namjoon oppa, Somi’s dada, has an auto-repair garage in the village which he handles along with Yoongi & Hobi oppa. Kim Seung-tae, our father, is the village chief and stays busy attending the villagers’ matters the whole day before coming home to have dinner. Him and eomma had a love marriage.” 

And just like that, they spent the whole noon telling Jungkook about their entire family history until it was lunchtime. The omega listened to them intently because one must have a good knowledge about the family they want to marry into.

Setting aside his hopeless thoughts for a while, Jungkook let out a dramatic cough as he followed the two girls downstairs and sat at the dining table with them. He noticed Somi and Jimin playing with his pink eye mask by the living room sofa. He totally forgot about it.

Letting out a little giggle, Jungkook walked over to the sofa to see Somi trying to make the baby inside Jimin wear the eye mask by keeping it on his stomach and whispering cute commands to the baby. Both the omegas laughed warmly at Somi’s adorable actions while she pouted at them and complained to Jimin about how the baby wasn’t listening to her.

“The baby will surely listen to you once it's out of my tummy, hmm?” The elder omega’s statement was convincing enough for Somi to curve her pouty lips into a bright smile again, earning a loving pat on her head.

Jungkook was about to ask Jimin whether they were allowed to know about the gender of the baby before its birth when they heard the main door of the house swing open, turning their heads to see who it was.

Somi instantly stopped caressing Jimin’s stomach and ran towards the door. She squealed “ taetae! ” as she got scooped up in Taehyung’s arms and spun around like the cutest princess she is. It made Jungkook just a tad bit jealous of her.

Okay, a lot more jealous. He might as well call himself Jeonlous Jungkook .

But this was the first time he was seeing the alpha from up close. If he had appeared insanely handsome even with a field-long distance between them — then Jungkook was afraid he might just go into heat if Taehyung came any closer.

It didn’t even take a minute for his new fear to come true as he saw Somi pulling the alpha towards the living room area to introduce him to Jungkook and her new favourite object — the pink eye mask.

“This is kookie! And this is a pretty eye mask!!” Somi gushed with a bright smile as she pulled onto the alpha’s arms to make him kneel down so she could put on the pink eye mask on him. She giggled at the way it stayed lopsided above Taehyung’s nose. “Hehe now go to sleep!”

Jimin let out a hearty laugh at their cute interaction, while Jungkook beside him conveniently forgot how to breathe with the alpha just in front of him. And when he heard his deep, honey voice…the omega was a goner.

“Did you get a new eye mask, baby? This is so cute.” Taehyung cooed at her as took off the eye mask and handed it to Somi before diverting his gaze to Jungkook, giving him a charming smile. It made the younger’s cheeks go profusely pink, his heart beating erratically.

“Welcome to our farm, Jungkook-ssi. Appa told us a lot about you and your family. Hope you enjoy your stay here!” The omega stopped processing his words after he heard Taehyung call him by his name, feeling a fervent pull at his heartstrings. 

“H-Hi… alph —umm. Hi!” He muttered, cursing himself internally for almost having moaned ‘ alpha ’. Jungkook averted his eyes from the elder and looked at Jimin, seeing a smirk settled on his face. Did he figure out the younger omega??

“Taehyungie, why don’t you give Jungkook a nice tour of our farm after lunch? You’re the perfect person for it.” The smirk on his face turned into a giggle as he watched Jungkook gasp at his words, but when the latter heard Taehyung agree to his suggestion — he was doomed . Nothing could save him from embarrassing himself in front of the alpha now.

“I want to join too! Taetae can I come too??” Somi asked him with her puppy eyes on display, eliciting a warm chuckle from Taehyung. 

“I think you should ask kookie for permission, no?” The alpha replied, Jungkook’s ears going peak red upon hearing the nickname from his mouth.

“Kookie please?? I will take good care of your eye mask!” Somi pleaded the omega who didn’t even hesitate before saying yes. He felt like he really needed a third person between him and the alpha to maintain his sanity.

Meanwhile, Taehyung, had his eyes blown wide and a little tint of pink settling on his face as he learned that the pink eye mask Somi had just made him wear belonged to Jungkook. “Somi, you can’t just take other peoples’ things and claim them as your own. Give it back to him, come on.”

A sad pout formed on her face at the alpha’s words. “B-But…But kookie—”

“It’s okay, Somi. You can keep the eye mask, I have more back at home.” The omega gave her a warm smile with a light pat on the head, bringing back the happy expression on her face, “Use it properly, hmm? Think of it as a gift from me to you.”

“Yes Yes! Thank you kookie I love you!!” Somi squealed as she jumped on him, both of them hugging and giggling it out while the other two adored their sweet interaction. Jimin looked at Taehyung with a smirk, his eyes communicating everything that he wanted to say to him. The alpha glared at him in return, very well understanding what his tease-y stare meant.

“Cute! Now that everything is settled, let’s go have lunch and then you three can go on your expedition.” 

With that, they walked over to the dining table as Jungkook took his place between Taehyung and Jimin, not wanting the elder omega to expose his very obvious crush on a certain someone. The sisters were sitting beside the alpha, giggling at him whenever they saw his gaze land on Jungkook. Somi was busy being fed by Seokjin and Mrs. Kim, too lost in munching on her favourite food.

“What did you guys talk about upstairs?” Jimin casually asked the three, making the younger omega gulp and the two sisters chuckle evilly before So-yeon answered his question.

“Oh, nothing much. We helped Jungkookie unpack while me and Sang-mi shared our whole family history with him. He took a particular interest in Taeh—”

“ HAHAHA – yes! We had a lot of fun unpacking and chatting! Nothing much!” Jungkook quickly cut off So-yeon’s sentence with a sudden nervous laugh, making the alpha sitting beside him flinch in his seat.

“O-Oh, I’m sorry.” The omega apologized meekly before hiding his face in his hands, getting a warm pat on his back by Jimin. His love for the k-drama unfolding in front of his eyes overpowered the second-hand embarrassment.

Their lunch continued with more giggles and even more teases until it was time for the alpha to take Jungkook on a little tour around the farm, with a hyper-excited Somi tagging along as she held onto both of their hands and walked in between them, her cute rambling making the two chuckle.

The omega couldn’t believe where he was right now. From bed-rotting the whole day yesterday with his curtains shut close to now roaming around fresh grassy fields under the warm sunlight with the alpha of his dreams and a little cutie beside — just how fast the days can change, too.

There was a bright smile on Jungkook’s face as they walked over to the vegetable beds, seeing various kinds of vegetables growing beautifully in the late summer. Somi ran to where the carrots were growing, spotting a baby carrot in its mature state as she tried to pull its roots out of the ground, yet failing to do so. She fell back on the moist soil with a thud, only succeeding in pulling out some of the weeds that came in her hold while she grabbed onto her favourite veggie.

Taehyung chuckled lightly before he went up to Somi and helped her get on her feet, dusting off the bits of soil that were sticking to her pants.

It was a very sweet, domestic scene and Jungkook couldn’t help but give the two of them all of his heart. Just a few hours since he met them, yet the omega felt like he wanted to devote his entire world to the adorable duo.

And when the alpha lifted Somi up in his arms before they cutely waved at Jungkook, signalling him to come closer and admire the sight of the seasons’ veggie glory. He would’ve said no to such a mundane activity, but he found himself saying yes with the biggest smile on his face. 

Somi noticed the omega’s teeth-y smile and excitedly claimed that he looked like a bunny. Taehyung could see the resemblance as well, making the younger blush by his observant stare.

“Carrots are my favourite! What is your favourite veggie, kookie?” Somi asked him cutely as both she and the alpha patiently waited for Jungkook’s answer, unaware that his mind went blank at the question.

Favourite vegetable? He really hadn’t thought about it before. Although he loves brinjals and cucumbers, especially if they’re really big in size. Carrots too, with their long & firm texture. Trying his best to push the horny thoughts aside, Jungkook decided to go with the safest answer — tomatoes.

Taehyung smiled at his choice as he let Somi down on the ground and then led the omega over to the tomato plantation. Many of them were already ripe, their vibrant colour fascinating Jungkook. He had never seen how vegetables grow, not even in videos — typical of city people. 

The alpha explained to him in detail about how they grow the vegetables here, without using pesticides or other synthetic equipment. Apart from nearly melting at his deep, hot voice, the omega actually liked learning about the vegetables. It felt like he was finally indulging himself in something useful after a long while. And to have an alpha as charming & gentlemanly as Taehyung to lead him through it? The juiciest cherry on top.

“If you’d like to know more about tomatoes, we can harvest them together tomorrow morning. Most of them have ripened and it’s the perfect time to pick them out.” Jungkook’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, he had to help them out with farmwork anyways and now, also had to accomplish his new mission — impressing the alpha. Becoming his mate. Having his knot and his pups.

All these thoughts were swimming inside the omega’s brain while he had an ever-innocent smile on his face. He was led to the horse stable after they briefly stopped by the cattle shed which had Somi squealing as she looked at the cute animals, while the two adults chuckled at her cuteness.

“Have you ridden a horse before?” Taehyung asked him as they were now standing inside the stable, seeing so many horses of different colours and sizes. Somi’s favourite was the caramel-coloured pony, perfect for her little body.

“Ridden a horse…?” Jungkook had ridden a lot of things in his life so far, but not a horse. The filthy thoughts in his mind just increased at the question, even going as far as wanting to save a horse and riding the cowboy in front of him. “Umm…n-no. I’ve not.”

“That’s alright, but you’ll have to ride a horse almost everyday while staying here.” The omega slightly coughed at Taehyung’s words, internally cursing his mind for twisting them into a sexual context. “They’re our main transport, so choose one from our stable you’d be comfortable with.”

“Oh, okay.” Getting into focus mode, Jungkook took his time observing all the horses — well, half of his time, as he couldn’t help but stare at the alpha tending to his stallion. Why couldn’t he just choose to ride Taehyung instead? He’s sure he’d be the most comfortable with him than a horse.

But that was for another day. After a good ten minutes, the omega had finally chosen a friendly-looking horse who thankfully didn’t snort at him like the others did. Taehyung praised him for his excellent choice, and that helped Jungkook cheer up a bit after getting rejected by almost all the horses in the stable.

“His name is Naji. He’s a sweetheart, you’ll love him.” The alpha spoke gently as he caressed Naji’s smooth neck, the warm smile on his face and basically just everything about him making the younger’s existence effectively melt.

He had never developed such a fast and hard crush on someone ever before. What was happening to him now? 

It felt so new, strange and electrifying. The three of them walked their horses (and a cute pony) out of the stable. When Taehyung helped the omega climb onto the horse, his calloused hands met Jungkook’s tiny waist for just a second. His whole body flushed red at that, feeling goosebumps all over. When the alpha’s hands left his waist, Jungkook pouted at the missing feeling. A mere second was all he needed to know & gush over the fact that Taehyung’s strong arms would serve as the perfect belt for his tiny, delectable waist.

“Sit tight and comfortably, we’re just going to take a few rounds across the horse track. You’ll enjoy the view.” He smiled at him before caressing the horse once again, getting a soft nicker from him. “Naji is quite the pleaser, but if you face any difficulties then just call out for me, hmm?”

“Alpha or Taehyungie hyung?” The omega’s question brought a hint of blush on Taehyung’s face, not able to pinpoint as to why it felt so good to hear Jungkook call him alpha.

That’s just his rank, nothing new. Shrugging off the unusual thought, Taehyung gave him a quick smile before saying that he’s comfortable with however the omega wishes to address him.

He has many wishes, some of them completely inappropriate (for now) but he finds ‘Taehyungie hyung’ cute, so he’ll stick with that.

“Let’s go now, shall we?” 

The trio had a lovely time admiring the scenic landscapes, spending the whole afternoon by the flourishing fields. Something about their little expedition healed Jungkook. He realised how the place made him feel so alive , and how he was greatly mistaken at thinking that the city bars & clubs could make him feel the same way.

It could never .

The simple joy he felt running around the grassy fields with Somi, the sweet rush of feelings he experienced when Taehyung sat beside him and they talked for almost an hour, getting to know each other — the city could never beat this. 

Neither could the lonely dinners back at home compared to the big family dinner all of them had at night, with Jungkook getting introduced to the rest of the alphas and most importantly, the head of the Kim family, Kim Seung-tae.

He was so kind to the omega. He made him feel like a part of their family, addressing him like a loving father does to his child. Something Jungkook wasn’t used to, with his own father. It made him a bit emotional.

That night, he slept with the happiest smile on his face. Maybe coming to this farm was the best (forced) decision he’s ever made.

Chapter Text

The next morning, Jungkook woke up to a cute pair of doe eyes staring curiously at him by his bedside. It brought a warm smile on the omega’s face as he greeted Somi with his soft bed-voice.

“Good morning, cutie. How long have you been watching me?” He asked sweetly, getting a cute giggle from the little girl before she ran out of the room, leaving him unanswered. 

He found it more adorable than weird or annoying, and that was new. Jungkook didn’t like being woken up or watched while he was sleeping. He especially disliked kids, yet he was finding Somi to be the cutest and most precious being he’d ever met.

Not even twenty-hours had passed by since he had stepped foot in this farm, and so many changes were already bubbling inside him.

As he went through his morning routine, the omega thought of what else might be bubbling inside of him by the end of his stay here. His thoughts took an inevitable horny turn, making him cough out the toothpaste foam much earlier than he meant to.

He slipped out of his night clothes and changed into a white shirt with a dainty collar and delicate frills at the sleeves & waist hem. It paired perfectly with the blue jean shorts he pulled from the cupboard, a silver pendant necklace and the cute cowboy boots Sang-mi had lent him for walking around the farm. He combed his silky, long black hair and let the natural curls fall by his face & nape.

Adding just a hint of make-up to his already gorgeous face, Jungkook stepped out of the room and headed downstairs to have a quick breakfast before joining the alpha of his dreams to harvest tomatoes, as he was promised yesterday.

One look at the dolled-up omega and So-yeon bursted into laughter. Sang-mi, Jimin and Seokjin joined her when they noticed him too. It was painfully obvious how hard he was trying to impress Taehyung.

“What? Why are you guys laughing??” Jungkook asked, taking a seat at the dining table. A pout naturally formed on his lips as he took a bite of the fresh cream bun he picked from the bread basket in front of him.

“You really don’t know, Jungkookie?” So-yeon replied, giving a soft ruffle to his hair before picking a breadstick from the basket and leaving the scene with a hearty chuckle.

“I really don’t know! What is she talking about?” The omega’s clueless words just pushed the others into endless laughter, making the pout on his face stay till the end of breakfast. He felt quite annoyed for not knowing the reason they were laughing at him so much.

Did he look funny? Was there something stuck in his hair? No, it couldn’t be. Jungkook had checked himself very well in the mirror before heading out.

Then what was it?

He got his awaited answer when he met Taehyung by the tomato plantation, finding him chuckle at the omega in the same way all the others did. 

“What is it? Why is everyone laughing at me??” Jungkook spoke in his damsel-in-distress voice, now feeling genuinely sad. He just wanted to impress the alpha, not become a laughingstock for the whole family.

“Umm…your outfit. Isn’t it too fancy for engaging in farmwork?” Taehyung pointed out, suppressing his chuckles for a moment. 

“It is…? I-I didn’t know that.” The omega stammered, feeling a bit embarrassed now. He had no idea how to dress for a harvest. The outfit he had picked for himself seemed very simple and the bare minimum for him.

“Change your shirt, it’s too pretty and white to be worn around muddy areas. And take off the pendant too. It can be…distracting.” A faint smirk tugged at the alpha’s lips as he offered the advice, bringing a pink tint to Jungkook’s cheeks.

Distracting? Good . He did want to distract Taehyung with his elegant charm & beauty — assuming that was the kind of distraction he was hinting at.

“Oh…okay. I'll go change into a dark-coloured shirt then.” Jungkook replied, a shy smile settling on his face as he walked back to the farmhouse, not feeling embarrassed about his situation anymore.

At least he got the alpha of his dreams thinking he was pretty and distracting .

❥❥❥❥

The tomato harvesting wasn’t the last thing he had done with Taehyung. Over the first week, both of them engaged in a lot of farm work together — from feeding the cattle to woodwork. 

It was indeed a fever dream come true for Jungkook. He couldn’t get enough of internally gushing at the way Taehyung interacted with the cattle so lovingly while they fed them. And almost moaning while he observed the alpha pull up his sleeves, pick up the axe and swiftly swing it in the air before it landed on the log of wood, perfectly slicing it into two.

The close-up of the flexing veins and bulging muscles the omega caught on Taehyung’s arms was enough to edge him into silent shamelessness. Jungkook quietly ogled him as they went about their work, definitely not going unnoticed by the elder.

Maybe he liked the omega’s undivided attention on him. And that was new for Taehyung, because before this he never really bothered about all the omegas from the village who tried their best to impress him. Even the ones he went on a date with didn’t interest him. 

Perhaps it was because they were from a conservative family, taught to be all pretty, prim and proper, ready to devote their entire life to their alpha. Taehyung found out he didn’t like that in a mate. He wanted a strong, bold and beautiful omega.

It physically bothered him how Jungkook perfectly suited his description. 

And after spending two weeks with him, Taehyung couldn’t be more certain. He had fallen prey to the omega’s effortless charm and beauty.

But what he didn’t know was how hard Jungkook worked to impress him. The omega was screaming and crying on the inside while keeping a lovely smile on his face. Because seriously, who would bother about looking pretty while handling cow manure and giving a freaking bath to all the horses in the stable?!

“It’s so hard…” The omega murmured, letting out exaggerated sobs as Sang-mi and Soyeon sat beside him, doing their best to console him. It was Jungkook’s break time after lunch, so the three of them had gathered around in his room to gossip and chill.

“Just keep at it, bestie. You’re doing great, you will get his knot soon.” So-yeon replied casually, only to be nudged and scolded by her younger sister the moment she said those words.

“Don’t talk about Taehyungie oppa like that!” Sang-mi yelled, grabbing one of the pillows resting by the headboard and smacking So-yeon in the face with it, eliciting a sweet storm of giggles from Jungkook. He nearly went breathless laughing at their pillow fight and adorable antics.

While the trio had their most chaotic moment in life, the subject of their gossip was lounging in the living room along with Jimin, Seokjin and Somi — who couldn’t get enough of teasing him. 

“So, Taehyungie, how has it been working with Jungkook so far?” The younger omega asked, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.

“Yeah, I wanna know too. I’ve seen you two getting along pretty well.” Seokjin added, yet there was a genuine curiosity in his words.

“I think Taetae loves Kookie!” Somi announced casually, twirling her favourite pink eye mask between her little fingers. She was perched comfortably on the alpha’s lap, but the moment those words left her mouth, Taehyung stiffened in panic and gently nudged her off.

“Seokjin hyung! Please, um…tell your daughter t-to quiet down. S-She’s… she’s speaking nonsense!” It was painfully obvious from the alpha’s stammer that Somi, in fact, wasn’t speaking nonsense at all.

“Hey! don’t you dare talk about my daughter like that,” Seokjin yelled at him, a mischievous glint appearing in his eyes as he continued. “Go breed Jungkook and get your own daughter to complain about.”

Jimin nearly died out of laughter at the elder omega’s retort. Taehyung shot both of them an angry glare, but it only made them laugh harder — especially because of the furious blush blooming across the alpha’s cheeks in response to Seokjin’s teasing.

Little Somi, too innocent to understand, joined in with her cute giggles anyway. The sound was adorable, but it only deepened Taehyung’s embarrassment. Now that he was surrounded by laughter, and was painfully aware that he was the cause, the alpha felt like a flustered fool. 

He finally understood how Jungkook must’ve felt two weeks ago, when he wore that dainty white shirt to do farmwork.

Then it suddenly struck him — he had to go sell their fresh produce in the village market, and take the omega along with him.

He shot the laughing trio one last glare before making his way upstairs, a thought bubbling up in his head: had he ever actually been to Jungkook’s room before?

He hadn’t. And now, standing outside the door, about to knock, his heartbeat picked up an erratic rhythm.

But before his knuckles could meet the wooden door, a sweet yet pained voice reached his ears. It was Jungkook’s. He sounded like he was speaking to someone inside. Probably the alpha’s sisters.

“I like him so much…do you know any other ways I could impress him?”

“Why won’t he just give me his knot already?? I bet it’s huge…”

“I need him to breed me and just have his way with me. I want his pups. They’d be the most beautiful.”

The third sentence made the alpha cough so loud that everyone inside the room went silent. Seconds later, he was caught red-handed as Sang-mi swung the door open on him. 

Taehyung stood frozen, scratching at his nape in embarrassment, utterly speechless. And when his eyes met Jungkook’s, both of them instantly shied away, their faces blooming with a rose-tinted flush.

“Were you eavesdropping on us, oppa?” Sang-mi questioned him, a suspicious expression dawning over her face. She got her answer in stutters.

“H-Huh, what? N-No! I just…I just came upstairs so I could, umm, take Jungkook to the market. That’s it!” 

“Ooh, is it a date?” So-yeon teased, earning a sharp death glare from the elder alpha. 

Jungkook caught it too, and had to bite his lip to keep a moan from slipping out. Something about that glare was just too hot .

“Shut up, So-yeon.” Taehyung snapped at her, voice like ice. Then his eyes shifted to Jungkook, and everything softened. His voice came out gentle and considerate, “Um…so are you coming? With me?”

A shy smile tugged at the omega’s lips. “Yes!” he replied instantly, voice soft but certain as he followed the alpha out of the room.

Behind them, a chorus of “oohs” and giggles echoed, playful and relentless. As they descended the stairs, their cheeks remained flushed — pink with embarrassment, or maybe something more.

They stayed silent throughout the horse-ride to the market, exchanging shy glances that only deepened the blush on their faces. But once they got to their stall, both of them busied themselves in setting up the produce and then selling it to all the villagers who came by. 

It took about an hour and a half to sell all the fruits and vegetables, leaving Jungkook exhaling in soft puffs, utterly exhausted. He hadn’t expected something so simple to be this tiring.

“Tired?” Taehyung asked with a chuckle, handing the omega a cool bottle of water he had bought for them earlier, while their stall was briefly empty.

“ Very . How do you do this every weekend?” The alpha found the question endearing, but when Jungkook stepped closer and rested a hand on his bicep, something stirred inside him.

“You’re really passionate about your work,” The omega added softly, but his next sentence was accompanied with a faint smirk. “I like that in an alpha.”

“Yeah? Well, would you like to tell me what else you like in an alpha while I take you to a special place of mine?” Taehyung’s offer brought the furious blush back on the younger’s face, but he calmed down after the alpha hinted that it was nothing suggestive. “It’s just a quiet spot I go for a relaxing swim after a long day at the market.”

“Oh, I’d love to go there with you.” His positive reply earned a warm smile from the alpha. They quickly packed up their stall and soon Taehyung was leading the way to his special place. 

The two rode side by side through a mildly dense forest, the soft rustle of leaves and distant birdsong accompanying their journey. As the greenery began to thin, the sound of rushing water grew louder — until they arrived at a serene waterfall, with no one else in sight.

Just them, their horses and the breathtaking scenery that surrounded them like a quiet blessing.

“Oh my god, hyung…this is beautiful.” Jungkook’s eyes sparkled as he spoke, finding the alpha’s special spot too good to be true.

“Not more beautiful than my view, though.” Taehyung’s words made the omega’s heart race — he hadn’t expected that at all. He watched as the alpha got off his horse and walked toward him, offering a hand to help him down gently.

When his feet touched the ground, he felt Taehyung’s soft breath across his face. They were standing too close, and the strong arms that steadied Jungkook by the waist made his skin feel hot all over.

“I usually take all my clothes off before taking a dip…” The alpha murmured, his gaze flickering everywhere but toward the omega. With a stuttering sigh, he added, “B-But if you’re not comfortable with that, we can just swim with our clothes on.”

Jungkook was met with a golden opportunity here. Was he going to turn down getting to see the alpha of his dreams in his naked glory? Absolutely not.

“No, please, let’s take off all our clothes!” The omega may have said it a bit too enthusiastically. A furious blush spread across his cheeks as he scrambled to clarify his words, only making the situation worse. But Taehyung just found him increasingly adorable.

“Hey, it’s okay. Calm down. I’m not going to scold you or anything.” He cupped Jungkook’s flushed cheeks as he responded, his warm smile doing just enough to soothe the younger’s nerves. But then came the line that sent the omega’s heart racing again.

“That’s the last thing I’d want to do to you.”

“So you want to do other things to me?” Jungkook’s voice had a flirtatious lilt to it, the tease perfectly timed with him taking off his shirt to bless the alpha’s eyes with his plump chest and supple body. “Tell me, alpha.”

“Get into the water.”

They didn’t hesitate a bit to shed their clothes before jumping into the chilly water one by one, huddling close to keep warm. Jungkook had his arms wrapped around the alpha’s sculptured neck, while his bare waist went pliant and red in Taehyung’s arms.

“Do you really wish to know all the things I want to do to you?” He asked, getting a desperate nod from the omega. 

“Yes, please. Tell me everything, alpha.” Fuck . Taehyung couldn’t help but growl as he heard the younger call him ‘alpha’ again and again. 

It’s just his rank, yes, but the way Jungkook was saying it — rolling his tongue in such a sexy manner, letting it out like a sinful whisper — it bothered Taehyung too much. In the best way possible.

“Keep calling me alpha, and I might just tell you.”

“Alpha. Alpha. Please tell me, alpha.” The omega begged, his lips curling into a pout that silently yearned to be kissed by Taehyung. “I like you so much, alpha.”

“Oh god.” Taehyung was beyond pleased. He was losing control of himself just as quickly as Jungkook was. “Fuck, you’re so perfect for me.”

Something short-circuited in the omega’s brain when he heard him curse. The statement alone made his heart flutter wildly, but the fact that he cursed — it made a single strip of slick gush down Jungkook’s thigh, mixing instantly with the water stream.

“T-Tell me more.”

“I admire your silky, long hair. They go perfectly with your ethereal features and jaw-dropping gorgeousness.” Taehyung stated, tracing a gentle finger along the omega’s face. “You don’t even need makeup. Your natural beauty is more than enough to enamor every living being on this earth, but I must say that I’m the most spellbound by it.”

Jungkook’s eyes welled up with tears at that. 

He knew he was beautiful, he’d heard it from many people before — but no one had ever taken the time to notice every nuance, every quiet detail, and then wrap it in words so tender that it made his heart ache. Taehyung didn’t just see him. He breathed him in like fresh air, gazed at him like he was the most enchanting being to ever grace this earth with his stunning presence.

“S-Stop it…” Jungkook mumbled, staring into the alpha’s warm eyes that held so much affection for him. He wasn’t used to this. He wasn’t used to being seen . He wasn’t used to being loved. Was this love?

“Y-You…you sound like you’re in love with me, alpha.”

“Maybe I am.” Taehyung said it like it was normal, reaching for the omega’s arms wrapped around his neck as he intertwined their fingers together and brought the right hand to his mouth, pressing a tender kiss by the knuckles. “Spending these two weeks with you… it has made me feel things I’ve never felt before. I think they call it love.”

“A-Alpha…” Jungkook couldn’t control himself anymore. He broke into quiet sobs under Taehyung’s warm embrace, desperately hoping that this wasn’t just a sweet dream he was trapped in. He wanted to really know, really feel that this was real.

And it was as if the alpha read his mind when he worded his utmost desire in the softest voice. “Can I kiss you?”

“Y-Yes. Yes, please do.”

Their lips met into a wonderful ecstasy, molding against each others’ like silk sliding over bare skin — slow, deliberate and charged with a serene sense of desire. The alpha’s grounding forest scent became one with Jungkook’s daisies scent — creating a refreshing, heavenly mix together.

The omega wrapped his arms around Taehyung’s neck once again, pulling him even closer until their chests were pressed flush together, leaving no space for hesitation. They held each other ever so tenderly, feeling loved and assured in every which way.

When they broke their kiss a good five minutes later, Jungkook didn’t waste time before letting the alpha know about his true feelings as well.

“You know, when I first saw you…” He spoke in a sweet, playful voice, immediately piquing Taehyung’s interest. “You were out in the fields, chasing a loose cow with a lasso, riding your horse like you were born to do it. At that very moment, I fell in love with you.”

“Really?” He asked, trying his best to believe the omega’s words. “That’s all it took?”

“Shut up.” Jungkook mumbled, lightly slapping the alpha’s chest. A sassy smirk tugged at his lips as he added, “It’s going to take a lot more if you want my jaw-dropping gorgeous genes to feature in your pups.”

“Is it? Last I heard, you were desperately begging for my knot and whining to be bred with my pups.” Taehyung’s words made the omega drop his jaw wide in pure embarrassment and horror, not expecting them at all. “I heard you while you were with Sang-mi and So-yeon earlier this afternoon.”

“S-So….So you were eavesdropping! That’s not fair!” The omega snapped, splashing water at him in a flurry of flustered rage, soaking him from head to toe. Droplets clung to his golden hair, glistening under the last rays of the setting sun.

“I didn’t do it intentionally, my love. I was just coming to take you to the market and happened to be there at the right time.” Taehyung’s deep, tender voice worked its magic as he gently tucked a few damp strands of hair behind the omega’s ear, then leaned in to press a chaste kiss to his lips.

No, Jungkook’s heart definitely didn’t do a backflip when he heard the alpha call him “ my love. ” No, he absolutely is not obsessed with Taehyung’s lips. 

And no, the alpha doesn’t have the same sentiments either. 

Except that they do . And they’d be willing to admit it to each other, countless times. As many times as one breathes in a lifetime.

After a few more stolen kisses and playful flirting by the waterfall, they finally dressed up again and climbed on their horses, gazing at the darkening sky. They began the ride home, not taking them more than fifteen minutes to arrive at the farmhouse.

Everyone noticed their drenched figures, but before they’d feel obliged to explain themselves, Jungkook pulled the alpha upstairs, gently nudging him into his room. Then he locked the door from inside, itching to pick at the wild thoughts running in his mind and make them a reality.

“Bear with me, alpha.” He spoke with a cute pout, moving closer to Taehyung as he wrapped his arms around the man’s neck. “My heat is due in a few days, and it’s making me act a bit impulsively.”

“I understand, my love.” Taehyung responded lovingly, pressing a soft kiss on the omega’s forehead. “I’ll take care of you.”

“R-Really? Then give me your knot.”

“I— quite eager, aren’t we?” He answered with a chuckle, pulling Jungkook into his warm embrace. “What if we go on a date first?”

“Wasn’t our time by the waterfall a date?” The omega mused, bringing another chuckle to Taehyung’s lips.

“Well, if you want to count it as one, then we can.” 

“Yeah, I want to…” Jungkook pleaded as he stared at him with puppy eyes, his cute pout on display was really becoming the alpha’s biggest weakness. “But I want to go on more dates with you. And I want you to fuck me raw tonight. But I feel hungry right now. And all drenched, and—”

“We’ll do everything you want, yeah? Now let’s take a bath, have dinner and then spend the night however you wish to, does that sound good?” 

A shy smile appeared on the omega’s face at Taehyung’s words, not expecting to hear that answer. He sure was spoiling him a lot already.

“Yeah. That sounds perfect.”

They shared a soft kiss before the alpha exited the room, giving Jungkook his personal space and time to take a relaxing bath. They met again at the dining table, sitting side by side while they ate as much as they could. Conveniently dodging everyone’s questions as to where they were the whole evening and other suspicious remarks.

When the two were done eating, they quietly excused themselves from the dining table and then rushed upstairs — equally impatient to get their hands on each other.

Taehyung lifted him up from the ground and carried him to the bed, gently laying the omega down on the mattress before hovering over him and peppering kisses all over his face. Jungkook let out the cutest giggles at the ticklish feeling before they turned to breathy moans as the alpha sucked at his scent gland, leaving wet kisses all around it.

“Can I scent you, petal?” 

Jungkook resisted the urge to tell him about those forest scented candles the sisters had bought for him. How he had once rubbed one of them against his neck. And then he processed the new nickname, feeling his knees go weak at it. “Y-Yes, please. Do whatever you want with me.”

Taehyung didn’t rush. He moved closer with the kind of quiet confidence that made the omega’s heart flutter, and gently nuzzled against the curve of his neck.

As the two basked in the soothing mixture of their earthy scents, they shared a soft kiss to seal the feeling of finding home in one another.

“Why do I feel like you were made for me?” Taehyung thought aloud, continuing to suck and kiss the omega’s neck, drawing out a sweet harmony of giggles and moans from him.

“That’s…T-That’s what I’ve been– nghh …t-thinking about you ever since I-I first saw you.”

“Is it?” The alpha replied, moving down further as he helped Jungkook take off his t-shirt, pastel-coloured shorts and boxers, leaving him completely naked. Taehyung pinned his arms above his head and then trailed his lips from the forehead till the omega’s tiny waist, leaving his wet teeth marks everywhere. “Look at you, all pretty covered in my marks. You like that, don’t you, petal?”

“Y-Yes, yes so much…” He responded in stutters and moans, loving the high Taehyung’s scent and possessive touches gave him. “M-Mark me more, alpha.”

Completely whipped for the omega lying pliant under him, Taehyung did as he was told. He left his kisses and marks all over Jungkook’s waist line and inner thighs, earning the sweetest moans from him. 

Now the alpha had his face buried between the younger’s supple thighs, his tongue prodding at the slicking hole that graced his sight. 

“You’re so wet already, petal. I could just slide right in.” Taehyung said that, but obviously he’s not going to do that. He wanted to take his time savouring the omega’s sweet slick, how it clung to his tongue and sweetened his mouth like sugar.

“Feels s-so good… Ah ! A-Alpha please…” Jungkook moaned needily, loving the new, addictive feeling of being eaten out. Truth be told, none of the alphas he’s slept with before have ever offered to do that. They just wanted a hole to fuck, and Jungkook — prey to his own needs and not knowing any better — would indulge those asshole’s whims & fancies just to be treated like a bitch.

And here, Taehyung was ready to fulfill any wish of his. He was ready to listen, to teach, to learn and to love the omega however he was. 

Jungkook really can’t believe he put up with such bullshit when the alpha of his dreams was right here, probably waiting for him. He’d like to think that.

“What’re you thinking about?” Taehyung asked him out of the blue, noticing the haze in his eyes. The omega was physically present in the moment, sighing and moaning, but his mind was elsewhere. He caught onto that immediately.

“N-Nothing, just…thank you.” His sudden expression of gratitude confused the alpha, moving up to face Jungkook for a brief moment.

“Why the ‘thank you’ suddenly, petal? I am not doing you a favour.” Taehyung stated, pressing a gentle kiss on the omega’s forehead as he looked into his teary eyes with a warm smile. “We’re making love, aren’t we?”

“Yes…we are.” Jungkook sniffed in between his words, cupping the alpha’s cheeks in his hold as he attached their lips into a slow, passionate kiss. He felt so safe with Taehyung. He never wanted to let go of this feeling, never wanted to let go of him.

They pulled apart from their kiss after a sweet five minutes. Taehyung couldn’t help but worry about what might’ve caused the omega to shed tears, as he whispered into his ear with a soothing voice. “If and when you’re comfortable, you can tell me what’s bothering you, hmm?” 

“Yeah, I will. I promise.” They shared another kiss at that, and then Taehyung went back to stretching open the omega’s slicking hole with his hot tongue, hitting him in spots and making him scream in pleasure like it was his daily bread.

The alpha soon got rid of his own clothing and then stroked himself for a bit, with Jungkook’s eyes stuck at his hand movements. He neither remembers nor does he want to go into the past much, but Taehyung’s beautiful, veiny cock is surely the biggest one he had ever seen and would have inside of him. 

The omega’s gaze is fixed, hungry and greedy. He needed that cock inside him or he was afraid he’d become a crying mess and nearly ruin the moment again.

“A-Alpha please…put it in. P-Please .” 

“Patience, petal.”

After a few agonizing minutes of barely kept patience, Taehyung finally bent to his level and aligned his cock with the omega’s now ready and wet hole. Both of them let out a loud gasp at the slight friction as he slid in. The heat was warm and welcoming, engulfing the alpha’s length with just the right amount of pressure. 

“ Fuck , you’re so good. So good a-and tight for me.” Taehyung growled, trying his best to control himself from ramming into him until they’re all spent and overstimulated. No , he needed to wait for the omega to comfortably adjust to his length.

“L-Let go, alpha.” He gets his permission in the form of a whisper, “Go wild, go c-crazy… fuck me like you own me.”

“I don’t own you.” The alpha responds along with his first thrust, “Nobody owns you.” then a second and third, making Jungkook lose his mind to the immense pleasure. “But you’re mine to love, touch and take care of. All mine .”

“All yours, alpha.” They locked eyes as the words left their lips, finding utmost peace and passion in each other’s arms. Their bodies were lovingly intertwined — flushed, close and completely in sync.

“ I love you .” It felt like a first confession for Taehyung even though it wasn’t. He was absolutely addicted to the pleasure of thrusting wild and deep inside the omega, his sweet moans becoming the alpha’s favourite symphony.

“ I love you more .” Jungkook couldn’t see himself ever grow tired of admitting his feelings. He was utterly obsessed with how loved and full he felt as the alpha hit him in all the right spots, the raspy groans by his ears pushing the omega towards his edge.

“G-Gonna come, alpha… Ah ! P-Please, nghh I—”

“Shh…I know. Come for me, petal.”

Jungkook came all over his chest and the sheets, looking all wrecked and pretty to the alpha who was still chasing his orgasm inside the tight heat. 

“Please g-give me your knot, alpha please…” The omega begged, tears streaming down his face due to overstimulation. 

“Wanna breed you full of my pups too, petal, but we can’t risk it right now.” Taehyung consoled him with a peck on the forehead, his thrusts becoming slow and sloppy as he pulled out and came all over the omega’s chest and abdomen. 

Dropping beside him, he watched Jungkook’s chest rise and fall, mesmerised by how beautiful he looked right now. Silky curls clinging to his damp forehead, skin flushed all over with the alpha’s marks, his torso glistening with sweat, slick and the remnants of their love.

“You’re mean.” The omega’s words brought him out of reverie, his next sentence making Taehyung chuckle. “Didn’t give me your knot, meanie.”

“When your heat properly settles in, I promise I’ll give you my knot.” The alpha replied, pulling him closer until their chests were pressed together. 

“You better.” Jungkook warned him with a cute pout, immediately getting showered with feather-light kisses all over his face. “I feel sticky.”

“Hmm, I know. Let’s just cuddle for a while, then I’ll clean us up.” 

“You’re such a romantic,” He murmured, heart fluttering as Taehyung nuzzled into his neck, pressing soft kisses wherever his lips met skin. His arms wrapped protectively around the omega, making him smile at the clinginess. “I didn’t know you were such a big one.”

“There are a lot of things you don’t know about me yet, my love.”

It was true — there was still so much to uncover about each other. But they had a lifetime for that, and neither wished to walk any path but the one they promised to share. A journey woven with loving passion, unwavering trust, tender affection and the family they held close to their hearts.

And in that shared direction, they found home… not in a place, but in each other.
