Chase the memory

Where there's a will

"So why are you here again?" Jimin asked in a dismissive tone when Jungkook continued to stare at him.
"Boy have you changed!" Jungkook spluttered out
"You mean from the chubby boy who used to irritate you....we all grow up Jungkook."
"Look I know I was a bit harsh but that's in the past,wanna hang out?"
"So because I've lost weight you're no longer ashamed to be seen with me? Thanks but no thanks ."
"What no....you were cute when chubby now your....cute and sexy."
"Same person inside....now if you'll excuse me I have to be somewhere...."
Jungkook grabbed his arm as he went to walk past.
"Hold up,I'm here to take you to your house Namjoon got held up."
"I know the way to my house...."
"Er yer but I said I would come."
Jimin just glared then suddenly calmed down,why had he allowed this person from his past to get under his skin,he never usually got riled up and it's not like he'd see much of him while he was here,calm yourself he inwardly said.
"Let's go then."
Jungkook had watched emotions flutter across Jimins face then back came the passive look which slightly unnerved him,before he could always read every emotion on the chubby face of the young male now this ethereal beauty in front of him kept things tightly inside.
He walked outside slowing his long strides so Jimin could keep up.
The silence in the car was deafening.
"I'm your alpha now..."
"Your not 'my' anything."
"Well of course I am,living here you live under the pack code."
"Good job I'm not staying then."
"What?"
"I have a life and it's not here."
"But ..."
"Can you keep the noise down I'm tired"
Jungkooks grip tightened on the wheel,he wasn't used to being spoken to like this.
"You've become very rude."
"Whatever,"
Jimin put his head back, closing his eyes eventually drifting off.
Jungkook glanced across his breath catching.This little omega was having quite an effect on his libido.
He stopped at some traffic lights and turned to face the sleeping beauty.He took in the amazing plump lips,pale skin  and sharp profile.
He realised the lights had changed and quickly drove on.
Arriving at the house he shook Jimin awake momentarily seeing a soft look in the others eyes before he fully woke up
"Oh.....we are here"
Jimin got out frowning when Jungkook did too.
"You don't need to come in"
"But I do,Namjoon insisted on it."
Both walked into the house to find Namjoon sitting there.
"Ah Jimin nice to see you,I fully intended to pick you up but I had an urgent meeting so I asked Jungkook being a family friend and all."
"Acquaintance more like," Jimin muttered.
"Er..?" Namjoon looked at Jungkook who shrugged his shoulders.
"Well er anyway,let me read your parents wishes,"
"Why is he here for that?"
Jungkook too looked confused.
"Well it's like this,your father was given  20% of Jeon holdings,on the condition that....well.....if jungkook wasn't married by the age of 26 you two marry and inherit the 20%,otherwise.....well....the shares are sold to ..the Jeons ......biggest competitor."
"What!" Two angry voices said.
"Why would my dad do this?" Jungkook asked angrily," or yours!" He scoffed at Jimin.
"Wait......it was if you weren't married .....but you are aren't you!" Jimin exclaimed
"Huh?"
"I remember....for some reason mum told me years ago your dad had arranged your marriage...so it's fine!"
"Well.....I kinda said no," Jungkook muttered
Jimin pouted the action entrancing Jungkook.
"Well I'm sorry but I'm not marrying you for any reason."
"I'm not letting those bastards into the Jeon company,I run it now,so you will marry me!"
"As if...I'm gonna claim my inheritance this house,my apartment and fuck you!"
As the two glared at each other Namjoon coughed,
"About that Jimin,your parents were eager for you to come back so......your apartment that they bought and ,this house to be sold,money held in trust for three years,if you refused to do this..."
"You've got to be kidding me! I can't afford to buy a place on my wages,that's why they got it,renting would be expensive,I don't fucking believe it...why?I left them alone so they wouldn't be ashamed here having a gay son....why do this to me!!"
The other two watched as the angry small male paced back and forth as if he hadn't just announced his sexual orientation ....then he slumped down on the floor muttering.
"I just want a quiet life no bother from anyone,I thought they understood,I thought they were happy with that....."
He looked up at the two his eyes finally showing the pain he was feeling inside,
"I kept away,even though I missed them,I left everything behind that I knew because of...." He glanced at Jungkook," problems that arose,why couldn't they just let me be....."
He sat in a little world of his own then,
"Does it say how long we would have to be married?"
"A year at least...."
"Jimin.....a year of your life,we can treat it as a business deal?"
Jimin looked up hopefully," yes,also I could marry you and just live in my apartment anyway!"
"Afraid not Jimin,the deal is you have to be living here with Jungkook together in his home ."
"With him? Can't I stay here then if I have to be in Korea?"
"No,if you agree then this house and your apartment will be locked up and a caretaker put in place and as you know if not then it's all sold."
"I'll do it if you will," Jungkook stated.
"Are you nuts?"
"What's the alternative,we both lose out otherwise but I'm certainly gonna have words with my dad about this!"
"Er just one minor detail,neither of you must cohabit with anyone else during your marriage or the losses stand."
"WTF!"Jungkook shouted
"Huh so your still the slut I heard about," Jimin sneered
"If you mean do I like sex then yes like other normal people,you don't?"
Jimin went a deep shade of red and ignored the question which immediately teased at Jungkooks brain.
"Look I'm tired the funerals tomorrow so you said in your text can I just get some sleep and discuss this another time there's no hurry is there?"
Namjoon and Jungkook looked at each other.
"I'm sorry Jimin but it says before Jungkooks 26th birthday..."
"So?"
Jungkook coughed," my birthdays in two weeks."
"Fuck my life!" Jimin yelled startling the other two.
He turned to Jungkook poking him in the chest,
"You...you fucked my life up before,but I learned my lesson,I never trusted anyone again,I moved miles away,I thought my parents preferred it yet now I find that they schemed with your father to tie me up in a rubbish marriage with a shit like you...ok I'll marry you for a year only....but don't expect anything from me as far as I'm concerned I'm just a lodger in your house!"
Turning to Namjoon he asked," can you make the arrangements and am I allowed to stay here til the wedding?"
Namjoon looked like he wished he was anywhere but there,
"Not really but I'll allow it as the lawyer dealing with this case,now we will let you be,a car will come to pick you up at ten tomorrow ,I'll see you at the funeral,come on Jungkook let's leave Jimin alone."
Jungkook stared down at the visibly drained omega and for some reason he felt the urge to hold and protect him but clenching his hands into fists he left the house with Namjoon.
"Namjoon....is it really an airtight will?"
"Yes Jungkook,I was called here and your father came to.....they spoke about it fully and their reasons ."
"Why did you never tell me."
"It's called lawyer client privacy ,I'm sorry Kook but I'd be out of business if I didn't act professionally."
"Well I'll be speaking to my father after the funeral...."
"Oh great....as if today wasn't bad enough....." Namjoon groaned getting into his car and driving off.
Jungkook turned to stare back at the house then making up his mind he stepped back to the front door determined to talk to the rude omega but as he raised his hand to knock he heard them.....huge gut wrenching sobs,as if someone's heart was breaking,his guts twisted at the sound and he felt tears come to his own eyes,he leaned with his head against the door the sobs tearing him apart until they gradually subsided and then it went quiet.
Jungkook noiselessly stepped away going to his car and driving home,alarmed at how much the omegas distress had crushed him.
He went inside pouring himself a drink and sitting down,rehashing the conversation from earlier....well it seemed his father was determined to see him married....but why to Jimin?
