I'm not an Omega!

(Apologies. This chapter is a little bit chaotic, but I promise the boys won't out Jiminie just yet.)

Jimin honestly couldn't say he didn't expect it when Jungkook grabbed him by the hair and threw him. Granted, the Alpha didn't mean to actually throw him. He meant to push him to the ground, but the 'Beta' was SO much lighter than he expected. Jimin was thrown into a bench by accident and honestly.... it felt like he was about to die. It hurt so much and his instincts overrode his thoughts and made him feel the absolute worst for hurting his Alpha, even if no one knew.

Taehyung looked at Jimin, a look stuck between anger and concern, though the concern was very well disguised. The Alpha was angry that someone had the guts to bite him, but it was a little much that Jungkook hurt him like that. Unfortunately, he loved the younger too much too say anything about that. Instead, the elder just kissed the youngest's cheek, soothing the anger left in him. Jungkook just growled at Jimin and pulled Taehyung out and into the studio.

Jin on the other hand, stayed and offered his hand to Jimin. The Eldest could tell Jimin was hiding something. He could see the panic and the hurt in his eyes, but he could tell Jimin wasn't scared of him. He might be involved, but the Alpha himself was not what he was afraid of.

Jimin looked up at the Alpha, but it was blurry from him holding back his tears, from emotional and physical pain. He took Jin's hand and was quickly pulled up, but he couldn't catch his balance so quickly, so he fell against Jin's chest. Jimin couldn't really bring himself to be flustered, even as the Alpha swept his legs up into into his other arm.

Jin was quite concerned when the small boy fell against him, he felt his shoulders shaking horribly and the boy couldn't even stand straight. For some reason, seeing the Beta like this made him feel a sour feeling in his heart. He leaned down and lifted the Beta into his arms and walked to the infirmary. The boy didn't even react... a normal Beta would be sobbing or even angry. This one completely shut down and ceased functioning. It was almost annoying to deal with it, but honestly.... Jin had a feeling if anyone else had tried to touch him, he'd have been angry.

At the infirmary, Jin laid Jimin on the bed, earning a sharp gasp before Jimin closed his eyes and went limp, probably from pain and overstimulation. The attending nurse was HIGHLY concerned, but when Jin explained it was a dance accident, she quickly sighed and called Jimin's parents.

"Hello?"

"Yes Hello, this is the nurse from (Jimin's school). Is this Mrs. Park?"

"Ah yes? Is everything ok?"

"Park Jimin has been in an accident and lost consciousness. Would you like me to call an ambulance or would you like to pick him up and take him to the doctor yourself?"

"Oh, oh no. Uh... me and my Husband are both out of town until 5. Could you call his brother or the ambulance?"

The nurse sighed and reassured Mrs. Park that she'd take care of Jimin before hanging up.

"Um, I can take him to the hospital... I don't have class after this." Jin offered. Schools allow Alpha's more freedom since they're in the stage of life where they begin searching for jobs and settling into their adult habits. The nurse nodded and wrote Jin a note in case he had or will miss classes.

"Is he yours?"

"Hm.... not yet." Jin smiled sweetly at the Beta woman before taking Jimin back into his arms and carrying him to his car.

After class, Jungkook knew the sick feeling in his stomach wasn't getting better. He immediately went to Namjoon. Namjoon was Jungkook's role model and the best Alpha he'd ever met. Jungkook felt like he didn't deserve to be his mate after he'd accidentally hurt someone because of his short temper. He had no doubt Namjoon would be disappointed, but he knew he'd still help the younger.

"Namjoon Hyung? Are you home?"

The older man came out of the hallway, curious as to why he was being called. "Hey Kookie. What's up? Are you feeling OK? You smell bitter."

The younger shook his head, and Namjoon led him to sit in the couch with him. Namjoon truly loved when Jungkook trusted him enough to come to him. He was the one who initiated the pack with his mates, so everyone considered him the head instead of Jin. He knew how hard it was for an Alpha to admit to feeling down or needing help, but they were all working on it with Jungkook, trying to encourage him to be open. They knew the youngest was probably the physically strongest of all of them and they needed to make sure he had control of his emotions and his strength before they met their Beta or Omega or whoever they're mate was.

"I got angry today.... Taehyung was trying to go after that Beta again... and the Beta bit him after I was already mad about an Alpha bumping into Tae. I lost it and I threw him! H-he was lighter than I thought he was. So much lighter. Jin had to take him to the hospital. I didn't control it, Hyung." Jungkook was on the verge of crying. And if everyone was honest, this was a huge shock to both Alphas. Jungkook almost never felt bad enough to cry about it. He felt guilty, but his usual response was anger with himself.

"Jungkook, is there something else going on? Why are you so down about a Beta? Are you maybe jealous that Taehyung is flirting outside our mates?" Namjoon tried to supply a possible reason for Jungkook's overreaction.

"No. The opposite. I felt angry that Taehyung touched him first. I.... when I saw that Beta hit the bench, I thought my heart would stop!" Jungkook yelled, frustrated with himself all over again. Namjoon was left more confused than ever. This Beta had Jungkook, Tae, and Jin behaving like this?

Just then, the door slammed open, and the scent of burnt flowers spread through the space. Jung Hoseok stomped through the hallway and into the living room, pausing to see his distressed youngest mate and his concerned leader. Just seeing them calmed him down significantly. He was always softer than the others, bit more specifically for Jungkook. His youngest boyfriend was just so cute.

"Hobi, are you ok? Did something happen?" The younger asked, wanting to soothe his mate, even though it might be awkward because neither of them could tolerate that kind of affection.

"I'm fine Kookie. Just a dumb Beta. He stood me up when we were supposed to work on a project for class. I'll find him tomorrow. What's up with you? I heard you skipped after Dance."

Jungkook looked away, swallowing a lump in his throat. "I accidentally hurt the Beta me and Taehyung like.... he bit Taehyung and I lost it. I just.... I didn't know he was that light! You know Jimin, right? I thought he'd weigh more!"

Hoseok froze and his eyes widened, all traces of anger gone. "Park Jimin? Oh no! That's the Beta I was talking about! Well... I guess that explains why he didn't show up. But you really threw him? He seemed really stable and muscular." He shrugged and sat next to Jungkook on the opposite side as Namjoon.

Namjoon laughed softly. "Man, we really can't escape Park Jimin. I wonder why?"

Hoseok and Jungkook looked at each other. "Who knows. He didn't even have a scent as far as I could tell. Either that or I just can't smell it." Hoseok responded, remembering how he never even noticed Jimin until the teacher paired them up. He would never admit it, but he felt awful for not realizing he existed. He tried really hard to be friendly, but Jimin must have been scared of Bangtan and avoided him.

They all shrugged and waited for Jin to get home so he could say everything was fine and they could forget about the Beta that kept confusing their feelings.

Then Jungkook tilted his head. "Um... actually, where is Taehyung?"
