Work Text:
Jimin was used to getting a lot of attention from alphas and even betas, not only from his boyfriend Yoongi but also from the other members of the pack, especially now when he was expecting a pup.
Jin always left him the best pieces of meat when they had lunch or dinner together to keep him strong and healthy.
Hobi always bought him his favorite candy, which he gave him secretly so Jin wouldn't yell at them that they eat candy in the evenings.
Namjoon, as leader of the pack, always ensured his safety. Whether he was going shopping alone or to work and Yoongi was in the studio, he insisted on accompanying him. Sometimes he even brought him lunch, saying it was his duty to take care of the only omega in his pack.
Tae was his mental support, whenever he had a fight with Yoongi or something went wrong at work, his soulmate was his shoulder to lean on. Not to mention he liked to bring him pieces of clothing from his collection.
Yoongi is the best boyfriend he could ask for. Scenting and kissing were their top priority every day. Yoongi cared for him like a princess in a castle and would do anything for him.
And last but not least, Jungkook. The little puppy who always came to Jimin's nest in the night, pushing Yoongi to the other side of the bed. He was only two years younger, but he still didn’t present yet. Jimin didn't mind, he always liked to cuddle with him, whether on the couch in the living room or in Jimin's nest.
But all the attention that was given to Jimin began to wane the moment Jungkook presented as an omega himself.
Jin started to give Jimin the food after Jungkook. Jimin didn't mind at first, he was glad that he was taking such good care of the younger one. But when he started forgetting about Jimin, and his favorite dishes ended up on Jungkook's plate, he would be lying if he said it didn't hurt him.
Hobi stopped bringing him the candy he was now giving to Jungkook. Namjoon started to accompany the younger omega to the university and Jimin got used to walking alone.
And Jungkook no longer needed his company at night because he always snuggled with Namjoon, Hobi or other guys who were seeking his attention.
The only one who didn't change their behavior was Yoongi. His perfect boyfriend who brought him breakfast every morning and prepared his lunch. With a kiss on the lips, he welcomed him home and tried to quietly fill the hole he knew had been made in Jimin's heart.
Jimin now kept his distance from Jungkook and spent most of his time lying in his nest with his nose buried in Yoongi's neck.
Yoongi wasn't a fool, he noticed that something was wrong with his love, but he didn't ask him. He waited for the younger to tell him himself. So now he just held him tightly in his arms, caressing his slightly bigger belly while scenting him with his coffee scent.
Jimin gradually began to get used to this behavior. He tried not to take it to his heart and not to be sad about it, especially for the sake of his pup.
Jimin was no longer the centre of attention, he had got used to it and he didn't mind it, but when the pack members were distant, it made him sad.
And one day, even Yoongi had had enough. Jimin didn't like it when they fought, but that day it started innocently.
Jimin woke up with morning sickness. His belly had grown and he already had a bump that he kept touching. This has also brought him much new joy.
Because of his sensitive stomach, Jimin had a special diet that he had to follow. Yoongi made sure he always had food ready, whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner. Jimin was extremely grateful for his mate and had nothing to complain about.
Just like today, before Yoongi left for work with a kiss on omega's forehead, he whispered in Jimin's ear that he had lunch ready in the kitchen to eat when he felt better.
After Jimin took a good nap, he finally got out of bed without having to run to the toilet to throw up.
He put on Yoongi's shirt the alpha’d been wearing all day yesterday and his shorts. He groomed himself a bit so he didn't look like a ghost and made his way to the kitchen, where the food would be waiting for him.
When Jimin came down the stairs to the kitchen, Jungkook was already sitting there with food on his plate and Jin was just preparing something for himself.
“Good morning.” Jimin greeted them, whereupon both Jin and Jungkook returned the gesture.
“How are you, hyung? Yoongi hyung said you weren't feeling well this morning.” The younger omega asked as Jimin searched the fridge for his plate with his name on it.
“I feel better now, Kookie, thank you.” Omega replied, turning to Jin with his palm on his now visible belly. “Hyung, do you know where Yoongi left my lunch? I can't find it.” Jimin asked.
“Oh, I gave it to Jungkookie. I thought you wouldn't eat because of the nausea.” Jimin could almost feel the sting at his heart. He took a fleeting glance at Jungkook's plate, which he now recognized as his own, and turned back to Jin.
“But you know it only lasts in the morning. And Yoongi made such a big deal about it. He got up early on purpose to make me meal.” Jimin replied desperately until tears almost came to his eyes. His hormones weren't making this situation any easier, and sometimes he felt bad for his behavior, but not in this situation.
“I’m so sorry, hyung, I didn’t know that.” Jungkook said quietly. “It doesn't matter now, Kookie.” Jimin replied with a little smile to younger.
“At least it didn't go to waste.” Jin tried to talk his way out of it. But Jimin just shook his head and went back upstairs to his room.

to Yoongi hyung: Hyung, can you send me the recipe that Jimin hyung can eat?
to pup: Why? Is he still hungry? I made him quite a few meals this morning for today.
to Yoongi hyung: Yeah… about that…
to Yoongi hyung: I accidentally ate them. Jin hyung gave them to me and said Jimin hyung wouldn't eat them because he was sick this morning. But then he came for lunch and I ate it all in the meantime. So I'd like to make him something.
to pup: Are you fucking kidding me? I told those assholes not to touch Mimi’s food several times!
to Yoongi hyung: I know, I know. I'm so sorry hyung, if I knew it was for Mimi hyung I wouldn't have touched it at all!
to pup: I know, pup. I'll call you in ten minutes and tell you everything what you need to prepare for his meal.
°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
After the phone call with Kook, Yoongi was pretty pissed off because he had already lectured the others several times about how they just wouldn't touch his omega’s food. Not only is Jimin not exactly having the easiest pregnancy, but he's also not about to let his omega starve or stand on his feet unnecessarily because he has to make his meals.
After a phone call with the younger omega, who assured Yoongi that he would take care of Jimin's lunch, the alpha tried to finish his work. But he couldn't concentrate at all. When he still couldn't come up with anything after three hours, he decided to pack his things and head out of the office to his car to go home.
°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
Jimin was lying in his nest when he heard a soft knock on his door. When he didn't answer back, Jungkook's voice came from the other side. “Hyung, it’s just me. I made you some lunch. And don't worry, I asked Yoongi hyung for the recipe!“ When Jimin heard the younger omega, he slowly sat down in his nest with his belly and silently answered him to come inside.
As soon as Jungkook entered his and Yoongi's room, he closed the door behind him and placed the tray of food and various snacks carefully on Jimin's thighs so he wouldn't punch him in the stomach. “I’m so sorry, hyung.“ Jimin just smiled at the younger one and pulled him into his nest. “It’s okay, Kookie.“
Jungkook laid down next to Jimin and placed his palm gently on his bump, something he had been doing a lot lately. “I'm just afraid Yoongi won't be too happy when he gets home. He's already got too much on his plate and now he has to take care of the two of us.“ Jimin whispered, placing his palm on the omega's that was stroking his belly.
“I know. I'm afraid he'll be mad at me.“ Jimin chuckled and ruffled Kook's slightly longer hair. “Yoongi can't be mad at you, pup.“ Jungkook just pouted his lips and hid under the covers where Yoongi always sleeps. Jimin just smiled and started eating the food Kook had prepared for him.
After Jimin finished eating, they chatted for a while before Namjoon's head appeared in the doorway, asking if they wanted to watch a movie.
“Feeling better, Minie?“ Pack alpha asked as he watched Jimin walk down the stairs with Jungkook at his back. “Mmm.“ Jimin nodded and walked into the living room, where Hobi was already sitting on the couch and Tae and Jin in chairs on either side of it.
“Jungkookie, come sit beside me!“ Hobi said enthusiastically. Jungkook sat down next to him with Joon, leaving Jimin standing in the middle of the living room.
“What about Jiminie? He can't sit on the ground.“ Tae asked. “It's okay, Taetae. I'm gonna sit on my fitball, and if it gets uncomfortable, I'll take a turn with someone.“ Jimin replied. “Don't be silly.“ Tae protested, but Jimin just shook his head and remained sitting on the inflatable balloon.
He didn't want to unnecessarily force someone out of their seat, it was clear to him that he wouldn't be able to watch the movie the whole time because he would start to get tired.
After a little haggling, when they agreed what they were going to watch, everyone finally quieted down and the film started to play.
About forty-five minutes into the film, Jimin hear the door opening. Omega looked at the clock in confusion, as it was still quite early for Yoongi to return from work. Jimin sat up better and wrapped his arms around his stomach, waiting for someone to appear in the living room.
But before he could see anyone, he could smell Yoongi's scent. With a small smile, he was about to stand up, but then among the pleasant smell of the forest, he also smelled the subtle hint of burnt wood - Yoongi was pissed.
“Oh, hyung. Did you finish early today?“ Hobi asked when he saw the alpha coming into the living room. “Turn off the tv, Hobi.“ Said the alpha calmly but firmly, Hobi noticed Yoongi's expression and preferred to do as he said.
“What happened, Yoon?“ Namjoon asked as he saw the atmosphere in the room darken. Jimin wobbled uncomfortably on the balloon, whereupon Yoongi turned to face him.
Yoongi ignored Namjoon's question for now and smiled slightly towards his omega. Yoongi just gently reached out to him, and Jimin knew he wanted him to go to him and make sure he was okay. Jimin didn't hesitate and went into Yoongi's arms. When the alpha had his hands full with his pregnant omega, only then did he turn to the pack alpha.
“My problem is that I am not allowed to move from my own house so that I don't have to worry about my mate. Jin, can you fucking tell me how many times I've said no one's gonna touch Jimin’s food?“ Yoongi asked. The alpha never shouted, his aura and the firmness of his voice was enough to command respect.
“I understood it the first time, I understood it the second time, but when I asked you all not to touch his meal because I don't want him to have to stand on his feet unnecessarily when I prepare it for him and then you come and eat it anyway. Yeah, Joon, I'm pissed!“
Jimin didn't like it when they argued, and especially not when he was at the center of the problem. With his nose buried in Yoongi's shoulder, he turned to the side to see the others sitting quietly. A tear rolled down Kook's cheek, but he quickly wiped it away, and Jin's ears were red with shame.
“Guys.“ Yoongi began in a calm tone and wrapped his arm around Jimin's waist. “We're a pack, we're supposed to help each other, what have you been doing the last two weeks?“
“You followed Kook around like tails, as if he couldn't take care of himself.“ Jungkook blushed at the mention of his name and the others were about to protest before Yoongi interrupted them.
“And don't try to talk me out of it. I know what it's like, it was the same with Jimin. But just because we have a second omega in the pack doesn't mean you're gonna dismiss the other one.“ He pointed out another problem that Yoongi had noticed.
“Hyung.“ Jimin wanted to stop him from dwelling on this unnecessarily, but Yoongi was being stubborn. “No, baby. We need to solve this, I don’t give a fuck.” Jimin just lowered his head and listened.
“I thought this situation would calm down after a few days, but no. Jin keeps giving Jimin's food to Kook. When I asked Namjoon to go to the store with Jimin because I'm at work and didn't want him to go alone, he responded by saying he didn't want to. For the first time, I understood that he had a lot of work to do.“ Yoongi began, pointing his finger at each of the pack members sitting opposite to him.
Jimin saw them both flush with shame, preferring not to look Yoongi in the eye because they probably suspected he was right.
“But when I saw Jungkook asking you to walk him to school and you cancelled all your plans at the studio because of it, I was disappointed, Joon.“ Yoongi continued in a firm tone. Jimin didn't even know this, so when he heard all this, tears started to roll down his eyes. Yoongi gently, because of his belly, pulled him closer to him.
“Hobi and you. Almost every night you found a moment to share the latest gossip over sweets with my omega. As small as it may sound, it meant a lot to Jimin and you know that.“ While Yoongi was talking he took a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped Jimin's tears.
“Thank you, Kook, for making Jimin's lunch today. And thank you, Tae, for taking care of him while I was at work late the last few days.“ He thanked Yoongi and bent down to retrieve his briefcase, which he placed on the floor. Then he turned back to the boys, who were sitting there like pups who had been forbidden by their mother to play in the sandbox.
“Sorry, hyung.“ Hobi whispered, fiddling with the sleeves of his sweatshirt. “You shouldn't be apologizing to me, Hobi. It's Jimin you've all failed.“ Yoongi replied, and Hobi just nodded.
“I hope when you all come to your senses, you'll apologize to Jimin, until then I don't want to see you.“ Yoongi said one last time, grabbing Jimin around the waist. “Come on, love.“ He whispered to Jimin and they went to their bedroom.
As soon as the door closed behind them Jimin broke down, unable to stop his sobs. Yoongi placed his briefcase in the corner of the room and sat down to take Jimin on his lap. “I- I feel- feel like a bur-den.“ Jimin said as he gasped for breath.
“No, no you are not, baby. Don't even think about it. This situation has only arisen because of many events in a short period of time. You're not a burden and you never will be, love.“
Yoongi whispered into Jimin's ear, trying to calm him down. He stroked his back and stomach, and when his breathing calmed down a bit, he took him in his arms and laid him on the bed. Yoongi helped him get comfortable in the middle of their nest before quickly changing and lying down with omega.
Alpha watched the tears fall down omega's cheeks. He wiped them away individually with his thumb and then kissed his forehead. “Don't waste your tears on those assholes, baby. You know how crazy they get sometimes. It'll pass after a week, trust me.“ Yoongi tried to cheer him up. Jimin just smiled and put his palm on Yoongi's cheek.
“I love you so much.“ He whispered and kissed him on the lips. “Thank you for today.“ He said, putting his nose to Yoongi's scent gland where his soothing scent came from.
“It's nothing.“ Yoongi said, stroking Jimin's back. They lay there like that for about fifteen minutes before there was a knock.
“I don't want to talk to them now.“ Jimin whispered, clutching Yoongi's shirt in his hand, but before Yoongi could send them away, Kook's voice was heard. “It's Jungkookie. Shall I send him away?“ Yoongi asked and Jimin just shook his head.
“Come on in, pup.“ Yoongi called out to him. Jimin was lying with his back to the door and facing Yoongi, so he only heard the door open and then close again.
“Can I come to you, hyung?“ Jungkook asked brokenly, and Jimin slowly turned around and pressed his back against Yoongi's chest, so that he was now a small spoon. Once he was facing Kook he could see his red teary eyes.
“Come here, puppy.“ Jimin whispered, picking up the blanket to signal for him to lie down next to him. Junkook took off his slippers and immediately lay down next to Jimin. He buried his nose against his neck, making Jimin feel the tears soaking his shirt.
Yoongi behind him just reached out his hand and stroked the younger omega's hair. “It's not your fault, pup.“ Jungkook just sniffled and wiped his tears. “But I have a feeling it is. It all started because I presented.“
“Pup. The fact that you presented has nothing to do with it. It's just that these fools can't behave. As soon as they smell omega, their brains go out their ears.“ Yoongi said and Jimin laughed, entwining his fingers in Jungkook's hair and began to caress him.
“Hyung is right.“ Jimin said and could hear Yoongi whispering "as always".
"Aren't you angry hyung?“ Jungkook asked. “No, I'm not, puppy. Not even hyung is angry.“ Jimin answered him.
“So.... can I sleep with you tonight?“ Jungkook asked and Jimin started laughing. “Of course you can.“
“No! He's stealing you from me, baby.“ Yoongi grumbled and wrinkled his nose against the back of Jimin's neck. They all talked for a few more minutes, but then tiredness overcame them and they fell asleep together.
Over the next few days, everyone gradually came to apologize to Jimin and tried to make it up to him, and everyone was happy.
