It was rare that he recalled the past.
He was walking to his friend's house and heard someone addressing their partner in an endearing way, calling them "their pretty little omega". He quickened his steps in order to create more distance between himself and the person the voice was coming out of.
It made Jimin shiver, that endearment. He had nothing against other people around him showing their affection. He had nothing against couples overall or, gods forbid, omegas as a subgender. Jimin wasn't a mindless hater. It was from the category "it's not them, it's me".
When he made a turn and crossed two streets after that, those words were still ringing in his head. Those and similar ones too.
"My pretty little omega"
"My most beautiful delicate flower"
"Sweet little darling, our omega boy"
He has heard those and their variations throughout his whole childhood and adolescent years. And frankly, Jimin has had enough of that.
Probably the most common phrase Jimin used as a child was "I am not an omega" along with "I'm going to do this myself" and others that he fought his multiple relatives with.
It happened quite often when they tried to continuously do things for him, not letting Jimin do anything strenuous like sports that were majorly alpha dominated or things like heavy lifting and moving furniture. It happened when they wrapped him in multiple layers at the slightest wind outside, when they fed him with natural supplements that were supposed to let him flourish as an omega and have many pups in the future.
When Jimin was close to his presentation he could already see how utterly hilarious this behavior was. Whether an omega, a beta, an alpha or a delta in the future, the kids need to be properly dressed for any type of weather and they need to be getting all the proper supplements according to their ages. His family was just too hung up on wanting an omega in the younger generation.
Everybody knew that Jimin was going to present as an omega though, it seemed that way. Like it was something certain. And somewhere deep inside he should have known that it was not going to be exactly this way, just because life often turned the way noone expected.
Jimin grew up in a kind of small community but it didn't matter as soon as the internet was a thing since he went to middle school. So instead of the traditional views that his family had and tried to force onto him, he learned diverse opinions of the world and the people living in it. He didn't believe the omegas were fragile and their only purpose was to have multiple pups. He accepted the possibility of him becoming an omega, only he was not imagining the same role as his family were trying to instill in him.
So when Jimin eventually presented as an alpha it became a shocking blow to any relative that had a sliver of hope that they were putting into him. They were all majorly disappointed. It was a shock to Jimin too since he expected something different. Though his image of an omega he was thriving to become was different from the family's, he still thought he was going to present as one. Alas it was a different outcome.
Just like that, all his naive hopes and dreams crumbled as soon as he presented and found out the hard way that unfortunately a huge part of the wolf's life, an adult life, was controlled by instincts and hormones. Jimin couldn't run away from his subgender now even if he tried. Nevertheless, he worked through it and by the time he was a young adult and ready to conquer something bigger than the town he was born in, he got used the idea.
Jimin told himself that just like he changed the image of the omegas in his mind, he could change the idea of the alphas. So his last couple of years living in his hometown were spent productively working on his future, studies and mental health. As much as it was possible while being surrounded by his disappointed relatives. He really started healing from his "unfortunate" presentation, not thanks but despite their attitude.
Yet everything changed when he stepped into a bigger community, the busy and chaotic capital, the university with a completely different set of people who, as it turned out, paid a lot more attention to how everyone looked rather who the wolves were on the inside. It didn't matter what kind of image Jimin was holding inside his head anymore. There were certain beauty and appearance standards, behavioral standards for every subgender and the young alpha found himself lost because he did not see himself fitting the ones for his assigned one.
Jimin decided to work through it again. Slowly and surely. He had plenty of time. Besides he was busy with his studies for the first few years a lot and he couldn't give a damn about relationships, not just yet. Honesty, he was barely maintaining friendships and was just trying to keep himself afloat and once he got more confident in everything he was doing, Jimin started looking around.
There were couples everywhere. Of course, there were people who were not dating romantically and that was quite fascinating too. Unfortunately he couldn't find anyone for either. Most of the people he met had certain set of expectations, exterior oriented expectations that Jimin didn't meet. Moreover, the way he looked started bleeding into his regular life, where he wasn't trying to find a partner, he was trying, for example, to change into his sports gear in the gym and he found out that it was a mistake choosing that particular one.
It had separate changing rooms for alphas and omegas. An atrocity that belonged to the last century or tge one before that but somehow was still existing in a modern megapolis. And it was evil because all the patrons seemed to be confused for a few first seconds of him coming into the dreaded changing room. The question was written on all of their faces: "What is this omega doing here?"
The same happened with shop assistants when he would walk in a clothing store that had exactly the same separate changing rooms. Jimin would take the needed turn, walk down the hallway with stalls and see several alphas looking at him with the same damn question on their faces. It would make him feel sorely uncomfortable.
Jimin couldn't understand why the world was full of narrow-minded people who always met the person by the way they looked. He guessed it was inevitable. He read several articles on that and apparently it rooted in history, something connected with observations and survivals in the freaking stone age... but they were not in the Stone Age anymore. Jimin guessed he was just within the wrong crowd. He needed to fond his own otherwise he and his mental well-being were doomed.
Since then he changed the gym and he tried to carefully pick the places where to shop for clothes. The same thing happened to cafes and other establishments. And those gender specific changing rooms that kept bothering him? They were quite offensive in multiple ways and they should be eliminated, he thought bitterly. As well as the impossible standards that didn't belong in the natural created world.
Though he lucked out on his looks, as he thought, Jimin definitely had luck with his friends. Their meeting was written in the stars, he was sure of it. Isn't this what they usually said about lovers? Well, the friendship was even better than that.
He got into quite a colourful group that he became close with as time passed. A successful designer, Seokjin, and an aspiring dancer, Hoseok. Both were betas and embraced it very well unlike Jimin and his presentation. And with that time since they have known each other and with their support the young alpha picked himself up again. At some point he became a little bit more confident about his looks, enough to get himself out there.
He often receives compliment from his friends. His wolf nature could feel they were genuine. And they flustered him to no end.
They claimed he had a lovely face, kind of round-ish, with an unusually shaped nose that was small and neat. He had a prominent jawline which they praised too. Jimin had lips to die for, their exact words, and that was what the alpha could partially agree on. And his eyebrows, Seokjin said, were really expressive. He had a splendid physique, according to Hoseok, who claimed it was always like a celebration when Jimin joined his practices.
And he also had tiny feet. Was it a beautiful feature? Jimin didn't agree but apparently they seemed that way and they looked very attractive, Seokjin swore they did.
Though he himself starred liking those traits, they still were considered traditionally omegan in plenty of people's eyes. And there lied the main problem, Jimin guessed. Finding the fitting person was getting harder.
Usually in a very fitting setting like a theme night in a club or a lounge most omegas didn't approach him, thinking he was an omega too. Occasionally some of them would have conversations with him and as soon as it turned out he was not an omega but an alpha, they would vanish. He lost count to home many "lonely hearts" parties he attended.
Did it really mean that much? The way one fitted the most common features of the subgender?Jimin supposed it did. It was fair, was it not? People just had different preferences, he needed to accept it. It was a fair game. Maybe it was him that didn't know how to present himself better. It was like a cycle: he didn't know because he didn't have the experience and he had none, that's why he didn't really know how to act.
So Jimin tried again. This time he was set up by his friends on a blind date. The person was given his description and his characteristics and subgender. They still wanted to meet him but probably the view of him in real life and the picture that they had it in their head was different because that date was the first and the last one they had.
Unfortunately the same happened with the next date and the next. It was very discouraging. Jimin found himself manning a regular job, he was a young adult, freshly graduated, with no relationships in his baggage whatsoever. And he was already tired of trying.
Jimin fell into some kind of a slump.
He spent a ton of time with his friends but it was obvious that he was moping. He refused to lower his expectations even more than he already did, that's what his friends taught him well about. Jimin guessed he just waited for the opportunity or coincidence, for that perfect omega who would take a liking to him and the way he was. That was the only thing he could do, really.
In the meantime Jimin maintained his routine well. The young alpha exercised in the gym regularly because Seokjin claimed that it would keep his endorphine levels high even if he felt like giving it up altogether. He picked up a hobby dancing in the studio Hoseok worked in, no matter how difficult it actually was. Jimin looked after his health meticulously: he improved his nutrition and he forced himself to sleep reasonable hours. Keeping up with this kind of lifestyle was effectively battling some of the bad moods.
Jimin did everything he could to distract himself: he was with his friends often, he read good books and picked up new crafts to do at home but something was missing and he knew very well what it was. His spirits were still low. He would occasionally go to bars that his friends recommended him but much less than he used to. He was considering his options and it looked like the alpha needed to get used to the idea of being on his own.
Jimin thought that "this was it", that he wasn't going to try anymore and feel like a fool at yet another bar but turned out he was being dramatic. When his friends came over to his place, Seokjin presented him with a pass to a bar Jimin hasn't been to nor heard of before. And he felt a slight rumble of excitement coming out of his throat.
"What an interesting name", the alpha said, reading the words on the pass.
"Silky pleasures? Yeah, sounds good to me too", Hoseok wiggled excitedly, "I'd go myself if I could".
"I heard there is a cocktail called like that, right? Maybe it's because of it?", Jimin assumed, not thinking anything particular special about the name.
"Oh my sweet summer daisy", Seokjin sighed, coming up to Jimin and cupping his cheeks for a moment.
Only his friends had a free pass to call him like that or similarly. In any other situation the alpha would be close to flipping.
Hoseok rushed to explain what kind of establishments those kind of names were usually given to while Jimin blushed all over his face. He knew that, of course he did. He was well versed in everything but the practical side of relationships between the wolves. He knew about multitude of other things. He admitted that he was simply over excited about trying out another place.
"I realised the mistake all of us have been making and also the option you haven't explored just yet", he pointed at Jimin specifically.
When Seokjin started talking in a tone like that it meant he was about to deliver the wit to his followers. His friends who followed his advice, Jimin corrected himself. Though sometimes his hyung was no less than a real deity on earth.
"What other options could there be?" Jimin asked timidly.
He was curious to no end. Because he was actually out of ideas.
Seokjin made a theatrical pause. Hobi was practically jumping out of his pants in anticipation. He too didn't know what the hell the other beta was talking about.
"How should I put it?" Seokjin hummed.
"Bluntly", Hobi said.
"You need to show yourself to a range of omegas that are older than you", he said with finality.
"Oh!" the alpha exclaimed in surprise.
Jimin actually thought of it before but avoided the idea because he was intimidated. Older omegas, those beautiful, confident, successful wolves in that style of clothing that made anyone think twice before talking to them casually. They definitely would not see him as a desirable alpha. And what if they thought of him as something less, as someone... he didn't know, okay? He was hesitant to try.
"They might not be stuffed with silly ideas or stereotypes the younger people have nowadays", Hoseok commented.
"And soon as the establishments for "older people", he made air quotes, "Often include a hefty amount of freaks and creeps I couldn't recommend any to you until today".
He pointed at the pass to an evening with the "all black" dress code.
"So this is safe to go, right?"
"It is safER. A friend of mine recommended it to me and he vouched for it. It's nothing like those creep clubs. You should try your luck, Jiminie. This might be really it".
"When should I do it? Is it only for one day?" he mumbled, twisting the pass in his hands, searching for information.
"Not only for today but I would recommend going tonight, of course. Mind you, it's not a night club, more like a lounge bar so you need to come earlier. It's a bit on the high end too so make sure to dress up. But subtly".
Jimin's head was going to explode trying to hold all those pieces of advice together. He had his own impressions on what was elegant and what was subtle. And they might not match what was meant by the concept of the establishment.
"You're confusing him", Hoseok whined.
"You're right, it's better to just dress him up, right?"
"Do I have a choice?" the alpha asked timidly.
"No", was the joint answer of his friends.
But first they all relaxed a little soon as it was still only mid afternoon. They cooked and ate together, watched another episode of the drama that they reserved for them three watching specifically together. And only then the preparations started.
They went for a less polished yet still elegant look. Hoseok had plenty of eonderful items in his wardrobe soon as he enjoyed shoppingband styling a lot. Jimin had a figure for, as he claimed it, and the outfit truly looked perfect.
"It's a little bit... wavy?" Jimin pinched the billowing folds of the top.
"The blouse? Believe me, there got to be people with eyes. Your uniqueness is exactly in that. A handsome and pretty alpha with soft features and dainty mannerisms".
"I'm going to cry", Seokjin said.
"Why?" Jimin asked, looking over himself again.
"It's the tears the fashion industry should be shedding because they still don't have you", he said with a serious face.
They were cackling and giggling while they figured out the way to put makeup on Jimin that would both last a while but that would be easy to remove just in case. Jimin liked to be given such attention. If there was anything he liked doing for those outings, it was getting all dolled up.
"I'm glad I have you, hyungs", Jimin said later when he was almost ready.
"The feeling is mutual", Hobi said and Seokjin agreed too.
"Look at you. You're going to be the most beautiful alpha out there", the elder omega promised and rubbed Jimin's back comfortingly.
"Make sure you have everything you need in here", Hoseok passed Jimin an expensive looking clutch.
"Truly, you can wear a bin bag but the shoes and bags", Jin tsked, "They have to be something".
"You're going to be fine. Be yourself and good luck in attracting someone genuine", Hobi added.
With such encouragement Jimin felt ready to go to Silky Pleasures.
It got worse upon entering the establishment. His nerves were through the roof as he was showing his pass and was greeted by a hostess of the evening who looked like a CEO in her strict suit. Everything was way too fancy for him, the interior, the well dressed guests. Way too high end for him, at least it was not what he was used to. Nevertheless he tried to keep a cool facade and first and foremost directed his steps towards the bar.
Jimin situated at the counter, ordering something non-alcoholic. He didn't want to appear edgy or anything like that and drink a strong liquor for the sake of it. It just wasn't him. Hobi did tell him to be himself so he was trying his best but the difference between places he's been to already and this one was significant. After some time he found a good point of this place: noone really bothered anyone. It seemed like most of the patrons agreed on meeting here in advance and if someone wanted to start a conversation they did it quite subtly.
This was good. Jimin would have been definitely intimidated if someone just came up to him and tried to start a conversation he didn't feel ready for. He wasn't ready, was he?
The young alpha kept looking around and watching the patrons silently. It was an entertainment in itself: there were plenty of interesting people around. Jimin's eyes stopped on their clothing, their shiny accessories, on the way their hands moved and their bodies leaned towards each other. It was good to just be here, in a different atmosphere. The alpha found himself gradually relaxing.
There were many things and many persons that attracted his attention for more than several seconds yet there was one that he paused his gaze on for quite a long time. That particular person seemed to know plenty of people around and kept drifting from one table to another, from one company to the next, doing it in an almost unnoticeable way. It was quite difficult to see their looks in details due to the dim lighting and only the lights that were on the tables allowed Jimin to see the features better.
He ordered another drink and searched for that person again. He followed them with his eyes over and over again, trying not to appear too obvious. That wolf sat at the bar, closer to the other end then to Jimin's and the alpha was able to see him better. The man had really soft looks, prompting Jimin to think he was an omega. It was hard to describe what exactly made him that interested in him but he just couldn't stop looking. He found himself almost glued to the other.
It felt like a spell, like a secret charm. Maybe this was it, the sign that this was the person that would be right for him, even if it's just for the night.
That man was really gorgeous. Jimin threw being cautious away the moment he saw those hands gripping the glass with a drink. Who even did that in such a way, attractive and elegant, if they were not a hand model? And maybe he was? Jimin really wanted to find out if he was right in his assumptions but how was he even going to start this conversation?
He remembered about Seokjin mentioning creeps at the places for people older than young adults and he didn't want to become one of them, asking weird questions. For real, he started to think he saw those hands somewhere before.
And then the man looked at him and the way that gaze was... it rendered Jimin petrified. He couldn't avert his eyes, found himself trapped by them. He could do nothing but watch the figure slowly standing up and moving closer to him, sitting at the bar again with his drink in hand, leaving just one seat between them. Was he going to talk? Was he going to tell Jimin off for staring at him so blatantly?
There was no one else around, with most of the patrons sitting at the tables and engaging in their own conversations. Nobody paid any mind to the young alpha at the bar who was staring at the older omega, hoping that the other would say something because he couldn't squeeze a single word out of himself. His heart was beating so fast, he was afraid he was going to let his scent seep through the scent blocker that he applied at the last moment, remembering what kind of establishment he was going to.
"I see you are new here", the man finally spoke and Jimin shivered.
The phrase was nothing new. But his voice gave him whiplash. It was in great contrast with the soft features and a delicate smile that bloomed on his lips. It was deep and if he had to use any other word he would use powerful. Yes that omega definitely was powerful, Jimin could feel it right off the bat.
"Yes, it's my first time here", Jimin confirmed and chuckled, "I knew it was obvious".
"Frankly, if not for that pass that I see in your peeking from your bag right now, I would think you sneaked in here somehow", the omega said.
Jimin giggled nervously.
"Do I look like a person who would speak into establishments?"
"No, not really, but I'm definitely surprised to see someone like you here".
"Someone like me?" Jimin got chills well he repeated the phrase.
This was what he was afraid of. He was not fitting in with the crowd here.
"Yes, it's quite refreshing to see someone as handsome as you here".
Jimin felt bashful. This was such a common phrase too but why did it sound so special?
"Everybody's beautiful here. I have my suspicions that there was an audition before distributing the passes but please don't tell anybody I said that".
The man emitted a deep pleasant laugh. It made Jimin smile even wider.
"I won't. But there was definitely none of that. I have the insiders information".
"Oh?" Jimin tilted his head and he knew right away that the gesture was probably a mistake.
He was leaning his head in such a way that could be interpreted as submissive. He didn't have any stereotypes about alpha pride but he supposed that it was not the gesture that the older omegas would most likely like. Yet he was wrong because the person sitting one chair away from him had to do a double take. He followed the line of his neck with attentive eyes and he turned his torso towards him. Jimin didn't have to be an expert in body language to know that the other person was interested in him, at least in some way.
"Yes, I was actually the one who helped organize the party and believe me, there was no casting. But I'm glad that it ended up in your hands".
"Thank you", Jimin hesitated for a moment before offering his hand, "Jimin".
The man looked at the offered hand and reached it with his. He squeezed it in a sure and strong way. The touch was warm, very warm, it made Jimin all tingly inside. He suppressed the urge to sigh.
"Yoongi", the omega said, "So how do you like here so far?"
"It's... different from what I'm used to", the alpha said sincerely, "But I like it. It's quiet and the music is lovely".
"You can barely hear it though".
"Maybe that is what I like about it exactly".
This is how their chill conversation started. Jimin found himself feeling quite confident answering Yoongi's subtle questions and talking about his impressions of the place. The omega told him about other events that he visited here and Jimin found himself enchanted. There was no better word to describe the feeling he got in his chest while the other looked at him in such a way.
Those looks were something else. They didn't give the impression like the alpha was lesser, they made him warm all the while Yoongi was watching him sip on his drink, while he followed Jimin's hand that was adjusting his hair as he was replying yet another question. He got the feeling that Yoongi didn't find him not attractive or not fitting and it was good. Way too good.
One word after another and soon Jimin was witnessing with a slight surprise that Yoongi changed his seats, drifting onto the chair right next to Jimin's. His body was turned to him as well as Jimin's and they spoke quietly, just discussing things that were not making the air that charged as it happened in this sort of conversations Jimin had before. There was no hints yet, there was no particular flirting and the alpha found himself completely relaxed in the older omega's presence until there was a twist that he was not prepared for.
"They thought that I have to be in the club just because of the job position I have but I refused. Everybody looked at me in such a strange way", Yoongi said, continuing the story.
"And why didn't you want to be there?"
"It's an alpha only club. Can you imagine the conversations the people that have some sort of power in their own companies can possibly have there? I'm not interested in that. I'd rather find the circle that I want to engage with myself".
"The alpha only club..?"
"Yeah. There are many of them, more than you can imagine. Are you not in any of such clubs or communities?"
"No, I'm not. I guess it's because of my job position? It is not that high".
"Mm, there are plenty of them everywhere, for any kind of circle and class. Some of them unite alphas from any field of work or they can be based on the neighbourhood. I'm quite surprised, pleasantly surprised you are in none".
"I suppose I was skipped by them on purpose, if there was and invitation like that", Jimin said quietly.
"Why is that?" Yoongi asked curiously.
"I think it's something to do with the looks".
"The looks?" Yoongi leaned back and purposely checked Jimin out, making the younger alpha shiver again, "I see. It's all the stereotypes, aren't they? The club that I was invited to join is full of them too but they are centered not around the appearance, but more around the luxuries and royalties and whatever else".
"Yes, those conversations that they are possibly having must be so dull", Jimin smirked.
"Exactly. That's why I prefer finding my own people. I knew something about stereotypes myself", he motioned at his face, "I have different tastes though".
"It's good to hear", Jimin said slowly, finally reading the hint that he has been given.
So Yoongi was an alpha. What a nice surprise. He didn't expect this and contrary to his initial purpose and thoughts, he didn't find it repulsing and didn't find it unappealing. Moreover the pieces finally fell into place, as they said. He felt he liked the older wolf exactly for this feeling that was blooming inside: excitement, arousal, attraction. Yoongi was an alpha, now it made sense. This was what attracted him in that man so much. Jimin was looking into the wrong direction altogether.
And most importantly, the older alpha seemed to have "his own tastes", as in, he liked the way Jimin was. Was he reading it right? If so, this was a huge success.
"I'm sorry", Jimin said, sensing how his cheeks were turning red from all his thoughts, "I... I honestly thought you were an omega..."
"I fugured", Yoongi chuckled.
"And it's so stupid. I've never thought that I'd be impressed by an alpha that much", he confessed, "I just didn't think about such possibility".
"You didn't. But now you do?"
Yoongi turned his whole body to him. He looked so playful, like being missubgendered was the funniest thing for him.
"I do. I'm thinking about it right now".
The tone of the conversation drifted into another direction since then. Jimin gladly accepted Yoongi's compliments, with a note of surprise and a great deal of pride. Pride for himself. The older alpha seemed to really like the way he was. This is the moment he has been waiting for. He could really see the possibility of him not going home alone tonight. Could this really be the day when he got some kind of experience? The thought alone made him all giddy inside.
***
The all black evening was going just the way he planned. There was a section with tables that were busy with the contests and games and a quieter section where people who didn't want to participate could spend time more peacefully. Divide and conquer, Yoongi thought to himself with delight.
It was an easy event to organize. It didn't require any special effort and that's why he only helped a little bit here and there. His friend, the owner of this lounge bar, claimed he was running out of ideas but Yoongi didn't really believe that. Namjoon was fountaining with creativity all the time and he suspected that his friend only made it seem so to get him do something else rather than working and sleeping.
He could admit that Namjoon was onto something there: lately Yoongi wasn't out as often as he usually was. Frankly, it wasn't even his thing but he often appeared in this establishment because it was safe. It was his friend's place and there were tons of people that he knew. It was also an opportunity to either relax and rest on his own in the private lounge or to walk around and greet his acquaintances, discuss some things that they couldn't normally because of the workloads they had.
Yoongi didn't want to admit that he was in a kind of a slump in the past few weeks. Nothing really excited him lately, all the books he wanted to read were finished, all the countries have been visited. His casual lover that he parted ways with amicably half a year ago was the last one in the string of partners that he had in recent years and maybe there lied the problem.
It's not like he really needed to find somebody to spend time with that way but maybe he missed that feeling of being together with another wolf, of having a sexual partner to keep himself sated. There was something he really wanted but he couldn't describe what. Namjoon was convinced he needed a boyfriend and Yoongi could partially agree. Only how was he supposed to find somebody he would like in here? The establishment was great and the circle of people was great too but they weren't exactly his type.
Yoongi couldn't say that he went for younger wolves or something like that, it just happened to be this way that the people who shared similar preferences as him were mostly younger. This establishment was for different audience. Perhaps one day he would meet the rare gem but it wasn't today. Definitely not. Because he was spending yet another evening occasionally attending the bar, checking how the event was going and what could be adjusted or fixed for the next one he would definitely help plan too.
The alpha felt it while going from one circle of his acquaintances to another. It was kind of a itchy feeling, like a light tug. Like somebody was looking at him for a significant amount of time. Usually he wasn't that sensitive in the surroundings he got used to so whoever that was must have been watching him for a while. Long enough for him to feel it on his skin.
Yoongi suppressed a smile that was threatening to take over his lips. Who could be possibly looking at him so avidly here, where most of the people present already knew him? Has he caught someone's interest? Now that he thought about it, Namjoon too distributed a good portion of the passes. He could have given a bunch to people that haven't been here yet. It wasn't a closed club, after all.
It didn't take him long to figure out who the perpetrator was, so to say. A young looking wolf sitting at the bar, definitely at least a little younger than most of the patrons here, was slowly sipping on his drink. He was situated in the spot where he could observe most of the main lounge without sticking out too much. A great spot, Yoongi thought, it was his favourite actually. Now he was intrigued.
He decided not to act fast, no matter how much he wanted to come up to that wolf right away and ask for his name. From the way those features looked, lit by the soft lights that were coming off the bar, he could tell that he was gorgeous. And it was evident that he was new. That made the alpha's instinct flare a little. Yoongi wouldn't call it a hunt but he decided to pace himself.
He walked around some more, talked to the guests that he knew and slowly drifted to the bar himself. He sat on the other end, not very far and not too close to that young wolf, and ordered himself a drink, casually, like he didn't even notice anyone. And then it hit him: the scent that has obviously been masked, only not that well. The young man was an alpha too and quite handsome at that.
Yoongi couldn't help himself he looked at him, really looked, and from where he was sitting he could see the other person's figure. And wasn't it just delectable in that black attire of his? There was something in the way that he was dressed and with the way he moved his hands that was mesmerizing. There was something in the way he slightly moved in his chair from time to time as if he was nervous. All of it was telling Yoongi that this could be potentially the person that he might like a lot. In what sense though? He hasn't decided yet.
So there was a really attractive young alpha that he didn't yet know and Yoongi's inner wolf reared his head in his mind. It was time to start his investigation. He decided to approach him slowly.
Since they started talking there were several things that Yoongi discovered.
Of course the young man thought he was an omega, like most of the wolves that he met for the first time. Here the newcomer wasn't that special. His reaction on the other hand indeed was: he felt bashful, Yoongi could sense that in his scent that became more and more obvious the more they talked. And instead of the standard reaction that Yoongi got most of the time, the young alpha seemed still interested in him, despite his rank.
That was another discovery. It was refreshing to see. Nowadays there were a lot of specialized clubs for alphas to meet specifically their own subgender but he wasn't sure that Jimin knew about them. Moreover, Yoongi didn't think he even considered such possibility before coming here but he apparently was discovering it right that moment. The revelation was written all over his pretty face and along with it there was excitement, there was interest in another alpha, in something new, in something that he hasn't felt before, that maybe he didn't think was possible.
Yet another thing was Jimin's lack of experience. It was a mere assumption but if Yoongi was right then it wasnt a disadvantage, not at all. The elder would welcome that a lot. And he would treat Jimin with all according respect, if given the chance.
He complimented the young wolf, seeing how obviously more relaxed he was getting the more time passed. He could understand him pretty well. Yoongi has had a fair share of meetings like that when he wanted to get to know somebody who he liked from the distance but when they started talking everything would change the moment he revealed his subgender. If Yoongi could say so, he was not hitting the stereotype either. Only with years he found his uniqueness in that and confidence too. Now he thrived in being different from what was expected.
But Jimin, on the other hand, didn't have the same amount of time to get used to that idea and he was probably frustrated by people around him at this point. He has been there as well. He could understand if this young wolf was fed up by other people's expectations. So why not use this chance to show him how it could really be? If he consented to this, of course. Wouldn't it be amazing to shower this young alpha with love and appreciation for the way he was?
The pass has obviously been given to him for the reason and why couldn't Yoongi become that reason? He saw no arguments against that at all.
The tone of conversation became more heated after some time and Yoongi could see how Jimin enjoyed that. He was definitely well versed in flirting and a great deal of it was probably his natural tendencies rather than what he has been taught. It was truly attractive. The more time Yoongi spent in the close proximity from the younger, the more he wanted to ask him more personal questions, more intimate details.
He wanted to know them but this bar was probably not quite the spot for it. So after he found himself leaning over to the other and he found Jimin almost mirroring his pose, he offered him quietly:
"It's really nice sitting here but maybe you would like me to show you another one of my favorite spots here?"
"Oh, your favorite table?" Jimin asked innocently and Yoongi smiled.
"Yes, you can call it that. There is a private lounge here, a small one on the second floor. Would you like to go there with me?"
Jimin hesitated then and the elder added:
"It's okay if you don't. We only knew each other for the past", he checked his watch, "Hour or so".
"I'm not scared", he said quickly.
He blushed in such a cute way that Yoongi felt his lips tingling. He really wanted to kiss the apples of those cheeks, so ripe in their blushing state.
"Of course you aren't", Yoongi said softly, "I'll show you all the exits right away".
"Please lead the way", Jimin stood up first, showing how courageous he was.
Yoongi took his hand, slowly so he had an option of backing away if he wanted to. Yet he didn't. Just like that, grasping the other's smaller hand, the elder led the young wolf upstairs. There was a bar as well, only there were not much people at it. All the private lounges were serviced here and only maybe a couple of them were busy right now. The one that was usually reserved for Yoongi was obviously empty.
"It's right here", he said, "The fire exit is right there and it's open".
The alpha walked across the small cozy room and opened the other door.
"Thank you for showing me but I'm pretty confident you're safe", Jimin said with a sweet smile.
"Are you sure? Maybe I have some improper thoughts?" he asked, lowering his voice.
"Well I'm not quite sure this is such a bad thing...", the younger giggled and followed the motion of Yoongi's hand who invited him to sit at the table.
"Would you like another drink?"
"Actually, no. Let's talk?"
"It's quite challenging without something in your hands, right? You can take this instead", Yoongi said, offering his hand and Jimin carefully took it with both his.
He was so delicate. It was nit so much about his posture or his figure, but rather in all of him. Yoongi liked it a whole lot.
"You know, I had a thought that I've seen those hands before", he mumbled, "Is there a chance you are one of those hand models?"
Yoongi started laughing. He didn't want to admit that he was flustered.
"You are really good at this, Jimin".
"No, I'm... It was really something I thought about when you sat at the bar. I could swear they looked familiar".
"Why don't I reserve the reveal of that secret for later, if you let me? Instead you can ask me anything else. There's only us here".
Jimin leaned on the soft seats. He was still holding Yoongi's hand gently.
"Can I be frank with you?"
"Of course", Yoongi replied immediately.
"I've never been with an alpha before", he confessed and he looked so adorable while doing it.
"There's always first time for everything, you know that", the elder said philosophically.
"Yes but it's difficult. It's been difficult for me to find someone".
Yoongi shuffled even closer to Jimin in his seat. The world was full of people that were able to physically see yet still remained blind.
"It's really weird how that happened. You are a very attractive wolf, Jimin, no matter of the subgender", Yoongi said with conviction.
Jimin's shoulders raised shyly.
"I guess I thought that I didn't fit and I was never chosen but with you I'm starting to realise that I've been looking in the wrong place", he shrugged like it didn't bother him.
It did. Yoongi knew from his own experience. But he would go with what he was being given.
"Where did you look before this?" Yoongi asked curiously.
"My friends, they've been trying to help me find an omega that would find me attractive and hoped I can start a relationship with. But so far I found none that would have mutual feelings with me".
"Wait, you said you haven't been with an alpha before?" Yoongi quickly did the simple logic exercise.
"No, I haven't".
"And you haven't been with an omega either?"
"True", Jimin confirmed with a nod of his head.
Yoongi's heart started beating so fast. It was threatening to burst out of his chest and spill everything he had on his mind. He could already feel that rumble forming in his throat.
"That leaves not that many options", Yoongi said carefully.
"There are none", Jimin admitted with a smile and rushed to explain, "I'm not as desperate as I was, let's say, two years ago. I would really like to have this experience but it's not the first and foremost for me. If it happens then it happens. If not then it's okay".
He was so eager even while spitting those words. Yoongi had all sorts of things in his mind that he would like to do to him. But he needed to wait to get what he wanted. Because he needed to make sure it was exactly what Jimin himself wanted too.
"And would you really welcome your first experience with an alpha?"
"Yes, if I feel the person is safe. It sounds a little scary but I hope I'll get lucky in this way".
Yoongi tipped Jimin's chin with two of his fingers bringing the younger's face closer. He was so tempted to kiss him but no, not just yet. He contained himself.
"And what do you think about me, Jimin?" he dared to ask.
"I think you're pretty safe", he whispered, dropping his gaze to Yoongi's lips and back to his eyes.
There was this word again. Yoongi could vouch for himself. If Jimin wanted it, he would do anything he could to make it safe for Jimin. And very enjoyable.
"How about we talk through the things we prefer and if we match, we could try? If you don't mind that".
"But I don't have any experience. Wouldn't it be an obstacle?" Jimin looked hopeful.
"Not at all. I can tell you frankly that my instincts crave that. But I have specific preferences".
"Specific?" Jimin's eyes widened.
It was a good beginning. Jimin didn't appear any less shy but he was quite talkative. Yoongi was sure he could get all the needed details out of him without any trouble. It soon turned out that the younger and him shared a lot of things that he liked and though he had no experience, there were still things that they could try for his first time.
Yoongi couldn't believe his luck. Was this wolf really going to trust in him that much? He was well versed not only in flirting but also in the Theme, which made everything so much easier. Yoongi's true nature, the predator like essence that he kept reserved for special times was itching to come out. He couldn't wait to make Jimin his. All the more so because Jimin do obviously wanted it, voicing and showing it over and over again, with his words, his scent, his body language.
It seemed like it was so easy for Jimin to speak about intimate things, about the details that he only used to fantasize until now. It showed a great deal of maturity despite his age. And it's not like the difference between them was that vast at all.
They spent so much time in that lounge simply touching each other in a chaste way and discussing their preferences. And slowly it turned into some sort of plan, a pre discussion of some sort. They were negotiating kinks and the things that Jimin would really love to try for his first time and in general. Yoongi has had such discussion multiple times but this so far has been the most exciting.
He didn't ask for a lot reasonably knowing that it wasn't possible to fit anything hard into that one night. Yoongi described how he saw the continuation of their wonderful evening and judging by the glint in the young wolf's eyes, he loved every single thing that the older alpha described to him. Quite soon his scent became aroused even more and Yoonhi decided it was time for them to get going.
"Hyung, I think we are a really good match", Jimin giggled, looking into Yoongi's eyes with much less shyness.
"I think so too" he replied sincerely, "Now how about we drive to mine? You can change your mind at any moment and we can just sit and talk there or watch something".
"I'd love that. I'm pretty sure I won't change my mind but thank you for suggesting it".
Jimin tilted his head again cutely and that small gesture made Yoongi's instincts flare again. It was so attractive, the way he did it, like he was ready for taking right there. Alas, they established a plan and Yoongi decided to do as they agreed. He led Jimin outside of the building, casually closing both of their tabs.
"I see what you did right there!" the young alpha patted Yoongi's forearm.
"You can pay for me next time", the elder smiled and led Jimin to his car.
Yoongi's place looked fantastic. He was convinced it was after he spent so much time on it. He could see Jimin wasn't so much impressed by how spacious or expensive looking it was, but rather with the long drapes and paintings that adorned the walls.
"I'm impressed how well thought through the interior is. The calm colours and darker tones look really amazing".
"Thank you", the older alpha said, taking Jimin's coat and leafing him further, "There's plenty to look at further".
The younger stopped in his tracks quite soon. His lounge looked more like a museum, he got told that quite often. Yoongi wished he could spend more time in it with Jimin but their route laid elsewhere currently. The young alpha refused any drinks and Yoongi only chuckled at seeing how eager he was. Well, the only thing he could do was deliver exactly what that alpha wanted from him now.
"Please sit wherever you're comfortable", Yoongi said, motioning around the big room and Jimin immediately went for the bed, sitting there with his legs crossed, "Good choice".
Jimin only smiled at that. Yoongi supposed he was quite nervous. He would be too.
He took his blazer off and joined the younger there. Finally he could do what he wanted so much: to gently cup Jimin's face and plant a kiss on his lips. Soft, gentle, feather like. It was so quick, Jimin leaned in for more when Yoongi backed away.
"Nuh-uh, sit right where you are, pretty", Yoongi said in an authoritative tone and Jimin followed it.
"Yes, hyung".
He moved slowly but he submitted. There was another tilt of his head and this time Yoongi could swear it was done on purpose. The younger's sly hooded eyes only confirmed it.
"Look at you, so handsome, sitting in my bed. Perfect, almost perfect I would say", he said playfully.
"Please tell me how I can do better", Jimin asked and that timid request ignited fire in Yoongi's stomach.
Jimin was a natural. His whole demeanor of a boisterous bubbly alpha changed into this sultry and at the same time soft wolf that Yoongi couldn't wait to have. To have a taste of. To make his, even just for tonight.
"It would be the utmost perfection to see you without these clothing. Even if it suits you so damn much", Yoongi responded, letting some rumble fall through, unable to hold it back anymore.
"Yes, hyung", he said and that addressing was better than any "Sir" Yoongi has heard.
Maybe because he could already tell how special it was for both of them.
Jimin stood up, just as slowly. He stopped a short distance away fron the elder and started taking his clothes off. He didn't make a show out of it but he still did it with some kind of natural elegance. Maybe this was his rare gem, Yoongi thought then.
After Jimin was almost bare in front of him with only his lingerie left on his body, Yoongi motioned for him to come closer with his finger. The younger immediately dropped his hands to his sides and took a step forward.
"Do you mind if I take them off you myself?" Yoongi asked.
He was still sitting on the bed but with only his pants on. It was too hot to remain in his shirt, he was burning from the sight right in front of his eyes.
"Not at all, hyung. Help yourself", the corners of Jimin's lips curved upwards.
Yoongi got rid of the garment and raised his hands invitingly. Jimin straddled him and their faces happened to be so close. They kissed again but more passionately and wetly. It was better than Yoongi imagined to himself back in the lounge.
And what they did together afterwards turned out better than their negotiations. Jimin proved himself to be rather confident and at the same time he was so giving. He submitted to Yoongi's every command, he followed every guidance he gave in his soft yet powerful tone. He was determined to give himself to the older alpha without any hestitation and Yoongi cherished that, thinking about his pleasure before his own.
Yoongi laid between his parted legs after pleasuring him with his mouth and moved slowly, making their erect cocks rub against each other. Jimin was so responsive and sensitive, twitching at every other grind, humming into Yoongi's mouth that was licking into his. He was pushing back with just as much fervor, giving back with the same energy that Yoongi was giving to him. It was pure pleasure, pure fire that was driving them to keep going.
Then the older alpha prepared him gently, one slicked finger after another. He moved slowly, maybe way too slow but he too was a little nervous about this night. He wanted to make it special for the other. He came up closer to Jimin's face while his digits were still pressed inside and the younger hugged him with his legs, urging him to keep going with a feverent kiss. The prominent blush across his face was there, as well as the content smile that the elder wanted to keep seeing on those plush lips.
He guided himself to Jimin's entrance and sheathed his cock into the other alpha's welcoming warmth. Yoongi moved cautiously, inch by inch, slipping deeper and deeper into Jimin, eventually bottoming out. The younger gasped at the very first move and then assured the other it felt very good. He was very vocal about everything, just like Yoongi asked and he praised him to no end for every little thing that came to his mind at that moment.
Jimin moved his hips, meeting every Yoongi's thrust. He arched his body and bent it the way Yoongi wanted, following his lead without a word against. He was completely attuned to Yoongi's desires and that was the power that Jimin actually held over him then, no matter whose mouth the gentle orders were coming out of.
With the whispered reassurances and praises they found their rhythm in no time and moved in tandem, pushing each other to their peaks only to do it all over again afterwards.
They agreed to avoid knotting for Jimin's first intimacy but the younger spent a great deal of time with it, holding and squeezing it with his hands and later giving it plenty of attention with his hot generous mouth. Yoongi watched the way Jimin explored it, touched it and licked with his curious tongue that reached all the right places and traced all the veins it could find.
He fell apart several times under Yoongi's expert hands and cried out his name, taking his cock so well like he was made to do just that. Like he had the ability to mold himself exactly according to Yoongi and it was driving the elder crazy. Despite it being the very first time for the young wolf, he seemed insatiable and Yoongi looked for more ways to satisfy him until they both finally laid down to sleep, completely worn out from the whole ordeal.
Yoongi stirred awake this morning surrounded by an unusual kind of warmth. It took him a while to fully wake up and realise that he was cradling another person in his sleep and that was where that heat was coming from.
Jimin was breathing calmly next to him, his body was pressed against his and it was more than pleasant. The vivid images from last night stood in front of his eyes and he couldn't hold back a smile that escaped to his lips. It was wonderful, everything from the minute they met to the current one. What were the chances of meeting a wolf that was not only compatible with him physically and in his preferences but also in their scents?
He noticed that later on, during the night, when the scent blocker finally wore off until the last drop and he was able to inhale the mixed aroma of both of them. Jimin noticed it too and he vocally pointed that out. He seemed to be really pleased with that fact. They didn't scent each other and that was truly his only regret about last night.
Yoongi wanted to do it so bad and he was pretty sure Jimin did too but they were too exhausted to move after several rounds of pleasuring each other. The younger was not an experienced lover but he was eager and he was ready to learn. He also took the rules of the play pretty seriously and that attracted Yoongi even more in him. Jimin followed everything that he said and stopped when Yoongi said it was over.
Their last round was without any particular dynamic so overall Yoongi sure that if he had to let him go right now he would seek him out again. He liked being with younger alpha and he didn’t want it to be a one-time thing, even though that was what they agreed on initially. They did it because they were not sure how it would go but it went splendidly. Could it possibly be the beginning of something?
Jimin started waking up slowly, rubbing his feet along Yoongi's ankles. After some time he mumbled something about the time and Yoongi shushed him, caressing his hair tenderly.
"It's okay. You can sleep a little more", he said quietly but Jimin was already nosing at his chest, inhaling the air, searching for his scent gland without even opening his eyes.
Yoongi adjusted his position so the other could find it without struggling and Jimin went for it right away. He gently scented the older alpha. Hos touches were so light and so careful like he was afraid it wasn't allowed.
"I've been waiting for this", Yoongi sighed, revealing more of his neck for the younger.
"Will you do it to me too, hyung?" Jimin asked and finally opened his eyes.
He looked at the elder intently, with the last traces of sleep evaporating into thin air.
"I want your scent on me, please", he added.
Yoongi didn't have to be asked more. He rolled Jimin over to lay on his back and leaned over him. Before scenting him though, he traced his face and his neck with the tips of his fingers, moving down to his chest and his side, uncovered by the sheet they threw on themselves last night. Only then he leaned in closer to do what he wanted so much, properly and thoroughly.
It felt amazing, not worse than being inside of him, than watching him following his every order, than listening to him calling him hyung in such a soft and submissive way that made Yoongi melt on the spot.
This was his rare gem. He would do everything in his power not to let him go from his arms, right now and later on, for as long as he could.
