Chapter 21: The Art of Intimidation

Jimin

"Mm, what are you doing?" Jungkook asks, his tired voice gravely from a long night's rest. He traces my jaw with an index finger. "Have you been awake long?"

I hum. "I've been up for a while, but you made the bed so comfy, I didn't want to leave. And as to what I'm doing, well, I was checking to see if I got a response from the high school. There still isn't one, so I started looking for used cars. I found one I can afford, but it'd make it so I can only live off sandwiches for a while, so I was about to text Joon and ask him to come with me and help me get the price down."

Jungkook sits up. "Why Joon? There's no reason to take him away from Jin. I can do it."

"Well, you're going to be back at work and I don't want to bother you. And I need an alpha."

He blinks. "I'm an alpha."

"Oh, yeah." I laugh.

His jaw drops. "You don't think I'm an alpha!"

"No, it's that you're..." I look off while I find the words, "...not intimidating enough."

"Intimidating? Why don't you just do the intimidating?"

I run my fingers through my hair. "Because I'm an unmated omega and the person selling the car is a muscular looking alpha stranger."

Jungkook's big eyes look at me and he pokes his bottom lip out. "Are you scared, Minnie?"

"Yeah." I blush. "And I want to bring some muscle."

The blue-haired male gets out of the bed. "We're already on break. Message the guy. I'll be your alpha insurance."

He heads to the bathroom to get washed up.

"Are you sure?"

Jungkook leans out of the doorway. "Just because you don't find me intimidating doesn't mean I can't be, Minnie. You seem to forget that I don't want you to be intimidated around me. If you need an intimidating alpha, I'll be that."

I blush as I play with the sleeves of Jungkook's long-sleeved shirt I'm wearing. "Okay."

-

"You confident you can do this?" I ask Jungkook, playing with my fingers. The alpha has me wearing one of his white t-shirts so his scent is on me because I told him I was nervous, but I can't help but wonder if the bluenet has what it takes.

"Jimin," Jungkook faces me. "I think you forget that I'm a CEO and I'm a boss to a lot of people. I know how to get what I want. I have you, don't I?"

I blush. "You do, but I was the one who made the first move, so don't act big and bad now."

"You talk a lot for someone shorter than me."

"Jeon Jungkook!" I smack him. "Let's just go."

He laughs and opens the car door for me, his mask and hat shielding most of his face except for his eyes. We approach the site of the deal in the parking lot. The alpha who owns the car leans against his current vehicle, cigarette hanging out of his mouth while he scrolls away at his phone.

Jungkook's face scrunches up. "Eew, cigarettes."

I turn around and start to head back, but Jungkook grabs my hand and pulls me back.

"Stop being so scared. I'm Jeon Jungkook. I can fucking get a car."

His words make me shiver and I nod, liking this side of him. "Okay."

We enter the vicinity of the stranger and Jungkook stays behind me to not seem controlling. He stays a bit out of the way rather than looming over me, claiming that he believes in me. When I stop, I clear my voice, grabbing the male's attention.
