"Sleepless in Seoul" a holiday yoonmin au;

"My Appa needs a new omega. He's been so lonely." Eunseong mumbles, clutching his Appa Yoongi's phone.

Stuck in traffic, Jimin stops switching radio stations. His omega endeared by the pup's voice,making him listen more to his story.

"Eunsong, pup, what made you think that your appa is lonely?" The DJ asks the pup, soft background music playing.

"Dr. Jin, it's because he looks sad. He smiles, but only his lips smile. His eyes still look sad." Eunsong sneaks a glance to his Yoongi Appa.
4
"I see, Eunseong-ah, can you put your appa on the line?" Dr. Jin, the famed omega love DJ asks.

"No? Dr Jin, that's not a very bright suggestion. Appa might chase me down the hall and ground me for calling!" The pup answers right away making Jimin giggle.
5
"What an adorable pup you are, Eunseong!" Jimin mumbles, hand drumming along at the steering wheel. He listens intently while waiting for the traffic lights to switch from red to green.

His day had been exhausting, driving up to Busan to spend some time with his parents.
6
"Oh, well—" Jin pauses for a second, figuring out what to say to the pup. He uses his omegean senses and responds to him. "I don't think your Yoongi Appa would be mad. You are only looking out for him and want to see him happy again, don't you, Eunseong?"
7
"Well, I am. I just want Appa to smile again. A real gummy smile because when I see appa sad, I feel sad too." Eunseong holds his capybara stuffed toy with his left hand, squeezing its plush hand.

"Then don't be afraid, I promise he won't be mad or ground you." Dr Jin replies.
8
"Hmp," Eunseong's brows furrow.

Jimin shakes his head and says the same thing that Eunseong replies at the same time.

"You can't promise that."

Jimin looks at his car's dashboard before giggling at the wondeful coincidence. That pup is definitely a smart one.
9
"Eunseong-ah, I promise. I would make your Yoongi Appa promise to not get mad. I'm 100% sure he won't be, because you are such a caring pup." Jin replies with a smile on his face. His radio listeners might not see, but those watching his livestream surely did.
10
"Okay. But Dr Jin, you owe me big time if I get limited playtime with my friends." Eunseong replies before he pads along the wooden floor to go to his Appa.

"Of course, Eunseong-ah. I would give you something special if your Appa gets mad. Pinky promise." Jin replies, pinky finger out.
11
Eunseong nods once. Finally he stands close to his appa who was just going through some of his work in their living room. Gently, he lets go of his Capybara's hand so he can reach out and tug his Appa's shirt.

"Appa, there's someone on the phone for you." Eunseong says.
12
"Hmmm, pup?" Yoongi puts down the document he was checking, looking over his shoulder to see his 8 year old pup pouting at him, offering his phone.

"Someone wants to talk to you." Eunseong says, giving his Appa the phone.

"Hello?" Yoongi speaks and before he could ask Eunseong how he got his phone, the pup dashes away from his sight.
13
"Eunseong-ah! Pup!" Yoongi calls out but then he hears someone speak from the other line.

"Eunseong's Appa?"

"Yes?" Yoongi leans back on the sofa, brows knitted.

"Ah, you're on "Heart Avenue" and I am Dr Jin. Welcome to our show." Jin says as he queues up the next music to play while he talks to the alpha.
14
"What? Wait, hold on—" Yoongi looks around to try and find his son, spotting the pup peeking through his bedroom. Half of his body hidden, small hand holding on to the door frame.

"Eunseong's Appa, your pup called because he's worried about you." Jin explains. His gut feel is that the alpha was trying to look for the pup and make him explain what exactly was happening.
15
And that gets Yoongi's attention, right away. The mention of his pup worried about him that he sought out help from a Dr Jin.

"Eunseong-ah's worried?" Yoongi replies, sighing.

Jimin's lips turn into a frown hearing the alpha seemingly in distraught. "Oh, alpha." Jimin mumbles.
16
"He is. He said you've been lonely. Is that true, Eunseong's Appa?" Jin prods wondering if the alpha would answer.

"Well," Yoongi brushes his hair back as he takes a quick peek behind him. And there he sees Eunseong almost in the act of stepping out of his room.

"Do you have all night?" Yoongi jokes, but Jimin hears a tinge of sadness in the alpha's voice.
17
Jimin is jolted back to his task at hand, the light had turned green and the car behind him has started honking.

"Oh, wait." Jimin drives, turning the volume up again. Something in the deep voice of the alpha was coaxing him to listen more.
18
"Well, I don't but I'm more than happy to listen to what you can share in our limited time, Eunseong's Appa." Jin replies and points at his assistant to make sure they would monitor if they have spikes in viewers and listeners. They could easily extend the show if need be.
19
Yoongi hums before he stands.

"Pup, don't hide. Come out here. We're going through this call together." Yoongi waits until he sees Eunseong dragging his Capy stuffed toy with him, eyes not even meeting his eyes.
20
"Come here," Yoongi meets Eunseong and does what he thought was best to do at that situation. He kifts the small pup up, lightly scenting his son hoping that would help make Eunseong feel at ease.

Yoongi sits down with Eunseong in his arms. He puts the phone on speaker mode so both he and Eunseong could talk and hear what thar Dr Jin would say.
21
"To be honest," Yoongi starts feeling vulnerable at that moment. For almost two years, things had been difficult. Eunseong's omega father passed, they moved to a different city, and he's still working out how to juggle work and being a single parent.
22
If it was up to him, he doesn't want Eunseong to know that he's struggling. But his pup is a smart pup.

"It's just been hard. Days pass, and I feel like things are better. But there are still hard days when I remember my omega who passed. I remember him and wonder, shall I ever meet another one like him?"
23
"I see. Were you mated?" Jin asks knowing that for mated couples things are more difficult when one passess away.

"No, we're not. We love each other very much but we never got around to mating not when we discovered he was already very sick." Yoongi brushes Eunseong's hair noticing the pup yawning over and over.
24
"Ah, I see. I am so sorry to hear that." Jin responds, eyes downcast knowing that alpha or omegas push away the concept of mating, even if they are married, the moment they know that they have an incurable illness.

A way for them to protect their other half from experiencing the pain of losing their mate permanently.
25
"It's alright, I understand he was only protecting me, us. Me and our son, Eunseong. Chaemin wanted to fight the disease, the illness he had. But we were already too late when the doctors caught it." Yoongi looks at Eunseong, the small pup fluttering his lashes shut holding so tightly to his Capy stuffed toy given to him by his omega father.
26
"Chaemin, my the moons bless his beautiful soul, sounds like such a caring and wonderful omega." Jin responds and he sees his assistant giving him a thumbs up. Meaning they are gaining more viewers and listeners.

"He is, well was. Chaemin had such a caring soul. Always thinking about others more than himself." Yoongi hums then.
27
"Is that why you fell for your omega, Eunseong Appa?" Jin rests his head on his palms, just wondering out loud to help keep their conversation going.

"Yes and no." Yoongi chuckles to himself. "Chaemin, he is unique, caring, beautiful. But even before I talked to him, I knew it."
28
"Knew what?" Jin tilts his head to the side wondering what the alpha would say.

In his car, Jimin takes a deep breath in remembering his conversation with his omega parent just the day. Before he left, they were discussing about an alpha courting him. An alpha who had expressed that he sees Jimin as the omega he would look and care after for the rest of his life.
29
Jimin was happily telling his omega father about him, the alpha, Eun Woo. Eun Woo who had asked for his hand for marriage. The alpha who would soon meet his parents over the holidays. The alpha who would soon be his husband and mate.

Jimin remembers it clearly, the way his omega father asked if he felt it too. The connection. The butterflies in his stomach when they met. Just like what he felt when he met Jimin's alpha father.
30
"Magic, you felt it too right, Jimin-ah? Just like what I felt when I saw your appa for the first time, when I sensed his scent even if he was far away from me." Taehya, Jimin's omega father says.

Jimin answer at that time because he felt that connection with Eun Woo. But it wasn't anything majestic, it wasn't something extraordinary. It was a mutual connection borne out of the alpha's perseverance to get to know him and court him.
31
Jimin looks back at his dashboard and sighs, "Magic" at the same time that Eunseong's appa said it.

"Magic?" Jin asks.

"I know, I know. It sounds ridiculous, right? But I felt it. Magic. A connection so unique, as if we were meant to meet each other, as if we were meant to be in each other's lives." Yoongi explains, hand brushing again through Eunseong's hair.
32
"And maybe that's why until now I feel that sadness come every now and then. I lie awake at night wondering what could have been if we found out about his illness. If I could have done anything more to ease his pain, to comfort him. If I could raise our pup alone." Yoongi lets his heart speak. Even if he knows most alphas would shy away from opening up, having a stranger listen to him felt good.
33
Jimin listens more, and he couldn't help but smile a little feeling how refreshing it was to hear an alpha just be open about what he was feeling and thinking through. How the "magic" that his father told him seemed to be true, and not just a tale.
34
"With Eunseong calling up and asking for someone to help you out, I would say you are raising him well. You are a parent and doing your best for him." Jin says, and he quickly reads through the comments. Each one praising the alpha for being so open, so different from the alphas they know.
35
"Thank you?" Yoongi chuckles and Jimin couldn't help but smile hearing that deep voice and chuckle from the alpha. The voice sounding so familiar even if he had only heard it for the first time that day.

"Ah, a modest alpha too. I'm sure an omega would be lucky to have you, Eunseong's Appa." Jin replies and he sees comments coming in volunteering to become the alpha's new omega.
36
Yoongi just shakes his head and chuckles. "I'm not so sure about that, Dr Jin." Yoongi lifts up Eunseong to lay the pup down properly, but Eunseong just snuggles closer to him, burying his face on Yoongi's neck.

"And what made you say that?" Jin asks, following along the conversation, comments flooding with omegas saying otherwise.
37
"Well, who would want an alpha who already has a pup? Me and Eunseong, we come as a package deal and I don't want to burden any omega." Yoongi hugs Eunseong closer to his chest, hand going up and down his son's back.

"Eunseong is a sweet pup, he really is. But I know things can be complicated with a set up like we have."
38
"Our viewers and listeners think otherwise, Eunseong's Appa." Jin smiles, comments were coming in saying that they are more than willing to go the extra mile and get to know both the alpha and his pup that he decides to read one in particular.

"Let me read a comment from one of our listeners,"
39
"Oh, alright?" Yoongi blinks wondering what he would be hearing back. If he was to be honest, he had been thinking about going back out again. It has been lonely for the past two years and the thought of having an omega beside him, to help raise Eunseong up, has ran across his mind.

But he just couldn't do it. Eunseong is his priority. Proving and caring for him.
40
"This is from kyeo95, 'Alpha, you are such a walking green flag. I'd be more than happy to be your omega, be Eunseong's new papa, and carry more of your pups. Have me, choose me, love me, alpha." Jin giggles after reading the comment because that is just one of the tamer ones he could find.
41
Jimin gasps, hearing the comment on his radio.

"Oh my! Run away from that omega, Eunseong's Appa. Nope. That sounds like a love crazed omega! Run!" Jimin says to his dashboard even if he knows that the alpha wouldn't hear him.
42
"Ah, well." Yoongi bites both of his lips in hearing the proposition. He holds back the laugh hearing such an ask.

"And there are actually more omegas messaging in, ready to meet you, meet Eunseong, and show you that they would be happy to be your omega and your pup's other parent." Jin scrolls through the comments, some comments were safe to read on the air but around 70% were not safe for work.
43
Jimin's eyes widen after hearing what Dr Jin said. His omega wasn't certainly happy with that, which is very odd. He shouldn't care. At all.

Eunseong's Appa was a stranger. Another alpha. Not his soon to be alpha. Not Eun Woo.

Eun Woo was kind, caring, sweet and mindful.
44
But still his omega yaps, not pleased to hear that other omegas were just there commenting and talking about Eunseong and his appa.

Jimin huffs his breath, hoping he could control his scent that suddenly smelt like burnt caramel. He had to pause for a quick stop over anyways, perhaps leaving his car would make him forget about the random alpha.
45
Curious and seeing comments from the viewers and the listeners, Jin drums his hands and asks the alpha a follow up question;

"Have you ever tried to go back out there and date?"

Immediately the comments section started asking Dr Jin if they could get the alpha's contact number and address to which he looks at the camera and waves his finger side to side, mouthing a silent no.
46
"Hmmm, not really. I mean, my friends have tried to set me up on different occasions. Not on a date per se, but to come with them on group dates or gatherings, but I haven't actively looked for a new omega. I don't think we're ready just yet." Yoongi leans in and brushes his chin on Eunseong's head as he says so.
47
"We?" Jin prods, although he already knew who the alpha was referring to.

"Me and Eunseong." Yoongi breathes out and looks up. "I'm not sure as well if Eunseong is ready to have a new omega parent in his life."
48
"Ah, I see. You two are such a cute appa and pup combo, aren't you?" Jin responds while he pins a comment on the live stream asking his viewers to share any questions they have to the alpha.

"Why do you say so? I mean Eunseong-ah is adorable, but me? I don't think so." Yoongi jokes as he shakes his head.
49
"Again, a very humble alpha. I won't say unique but a scarcity nowadays. And our listeners agree." Jin quips. "You see, Eunseongie called us tonight and told us right away; 'My appa needs a new omega.' So I would assume that yes, Eunseong is ready. But are you, alpha?"
50
Yoongi looks down at Eunseong, his pup, his beautiful pup calling and declaring his appa needed an omega. Silly, playful Eunseong.

"I guess so? If the right omega comes along, perhaps." Yoongi closes his eyes, searching his heart. He is ready but he doesn't just want to force a new relationship. It wasn't just about him. Finding a new omega meant having someone who would be open to getting to know him and his pup.
51
A/N: If you were one of the viewers of the livestream or listeners. What would you ask our greenflag Alpha Yoongi? Quote and let me know, I would love to add your q's or comments to this part of the au 🤭
52
"Hmmm, interesting. Would you mind if our listeners ask you a few questions? We are live on the radio and streaming as well. Would that be alright?" Jin asks as already question after question had been posted.

"Sure, I mean why not. Can you just give me a moment?" Yoongi answers. He leans forward reaching out to his phone, holding on to it. He fixes Eunseong and with a low grunt stands.
53
That sound makes Jimin's eyes go wide, he was already parking his car to pick up some food on the stop over. And well, that grunt send alarm signals alerting his omega.

"Jiminie, focus. It's a random alpha. It might even be a pretend story so just calm your slick down."
54
"Of course, of course." Jin replies. He then turns off the switch to make sure that the alpha on the other line wouldn't hear him as he says. "Just keep on sending those questions, the next show's DJ has caved in and allowed me to extend this show. Ask away and if we have time, should we patch up somebody to ask Eunsong's Appa live on air?" Jin says with a wink towards the camera.
55
"I can see your questions now, but of course, we will try to keep this pup-rated as much as we can okay? We don't want anyone filling a complaint if somebody starts asking anything inappropriate." Jin follows through. Suddenly he and the listeners hear the alpha on the other line muttering something to Eunseong.
56
Yoongi puts his phone on his side table as he lays Eunseong down on his bed. The pup's small snores were heard on-air.

Leaning forward, Yoongi plants a gentle kiss on his son's forehead muttering; "Sleep, pup. Appa's just here. Cappy's here."
57
Comments go wild with ooohs, ahhhhs, and awws for such a sweet moment that an alpha had with his pup. Jimin's omega preens and he considers not even going down from his car to listen more to the alpha.

But his stomach grumbles, he needed sustenance, he needed to stop thinking of a stranger alpha and his adorable pup.
58
Jimin turns off the engine and reaches out to his phone, there really was no way around it. He had to go even if it meant he would miss out on what the alpha would say next.

With a pout, he walks away from his car. Grabbing a quick bite might take him 20 to 30 minutes and then he should be on the road again, arriving at his apartment a little after midnight.
59
But fate had something else in mind for him, because as he enters the small restaurant, the familiar voice of Dr Jin and the alpha echoes.

This time, the video livestream was shown at the smart TV hanging in the middle of the restaurant.

"Sorry, that took me a moment. Had to put this pup to bed or else he would be grumpy saying his back hurts." Yoongi chuckles, that deep chuckle making omegas preen all over again.
60
"Ah, that is no problem at all. We don't want our little, sweet matchmaker wake up like that. Do we? Now, should I fire up the questions from our listeners?" Jin asks, questions he hand picked already scribbled on his notepad.

"Go for it, Dr Jin." Yoongi responds, getting his headset and switching to it so the room would stay a bit more silent.
61
At that point, he wasn't really sure why he was open all of sudden to answer questions. But he was already there, so might as well go with it. It was also a good break from his otherwise silent evening, help take his mind off of things.
62
"Alright, shall we start with the simple questions first then? Here is one from @suzie_shadow . And by the way Suzie, I am not sure about that emoji, love. But her question is, what do you do for a living to have a voice like that, Alpha?" Jin reads through before scratching the question off his list.
63
"Oh, me? I work as a Senior Architect for a design firm. I'm not sure about the voice part, but I am sometimes on site. So I do give our team instructions and sometimes have to speak louder especially as they do the work. My voice gets raspy at times because of that." Yoongi responds.
64
@suzie_shadow "Ah, so you design homes? Architect Alpha with a raspy voice. Hmmm." Jin nods his head, it was intended to tease more his listeners which seemed to work because some comments go and even ask the alpha to please tell them, order them what to do just to hear that raspy voice.
65
"I do. But I also lead the overall project. Managing timelines, budgets, and the client to ensure we deliver everything on time." Yoongi supplies.

From where Jimin was seating, he hears a female omega behind him say out loud "Manage me, my whole life. But please, re-arrange everything inside of me, Alpha!"

That earned a lot of giggles, the omega receiving a pinch from her beta friend for saying such a thing.
66
@suzie_shadow "Well, you sound like you have your hands full." Jin states before he pauses, hoping that would make the alpha continue on.

"I do, but I love what I do. So, it's not really a big deal for me especially when our clients comeback and say that they are happy with what they see."
67
"A hardworking architect alpha. Now, from @maicafrancee , the question is what are you looking for in an omega? Any traits or preferences?" Jin scratches the next question on his list and hears the alpha hum.

"Well," Yoongi pauses. He hasn't really thought about it all that much.
68
"I guess, I hope that I can find an omega who is sweet, loves to talk. The conversations don't even need to be deep all the time, just easy ones. I mean, I'm not really the chatty type, but I do like listening so I would love to find someone who just talks and shares their thoughts." Yoongi smiles to himself.
69
"I also hope that I can find an omega who loves pups because I have Eunseong, and I do hope to have a bigger family. But of course, I wouldn't impose that much if the omega prefers to not have a pup or just have one pup. It is their body, and they would be the ones carrying the pup." Yoongi adds.
70
"Oh," Jimin looks up to the TV after hearing what the alpha said. It's not that he doesn't want pups, it's just that he was thinking of just having one or two pups. Two pups he would look and dote after.

He loves pups, but he thinks that anything more than two would be too much for him, personally.
71
"Oh," Jin says, surprised to hear an alpha say something so thoughtful. And he knows he's not alone with the listeners saying the exact same thing on the comments. Quickly he glances at posts on social media tagging their show, and all of them were using the hashtag #GreenFlagAlpha making it a quickly rising trending topic.
72
"Too much?" Yoongi scrunches his nose wondering if he seemed too much or said too much on air.

"No, not at all. And our listeners agree with me when I say this. You are such a Green Flag coded alpha, Eunseong's Appa." Jin smiles as he's reminded of another alpha just like the one he is talking to. The DJ who gave way to his show to continue, his alpha, Namjoon.
73
"Thank you?" Yoongi chuckles deep. It's not the first time he had heard the phrase "Green Flag." He has heard it from Eunseong's aunt who would sometimes pick up the pup from school. A phrase that apparently the omega parents labelled him. But he didn't pay much attention to it.
74
"Are those just your criteria of what you are looking for an omega?" Jin asks, wondering if there was more to it.

"Well, not really. For me, those are nice to haves to be perfectly honest because I'm really looking to find that connection with an omega. Because isn't finding your mate or your love all about loving both the good and the bad? Flaws included?" Yoongi wonders out loud.
75
"Good point. Because what is the use of somebody who ticks off all of the boxes if the spark, the connection isn't there." Jin supplements, gently nodding his head.

"Exactly." Yoongi replies. He sighs and leans back on the headboard of his bed wondering to himself if he would find the same kind of spark he once had with Eunseong's omega parent before.
76
"A spark. A connection." Jimin murmurs, thinking if he and Eun Woo had that. The imo-nim serves him his food, and Jimin starts picking on the side dishes.

He and Eun Woo had a connection. They jive, they seem to be on the same wavelength. Good conversations that flow. But the spark that they were talking about, the magic? It wasn't there.
77
Eun Woo definitely ticks off all of the boxes. But there had been times when he questioned if it was all too fast?

Was he possibly just thinking about it too much because of the conversation he had with his omega father and hearing how the alpha on air is talking about it.

Magic.

Spark.
78
"We have another interesting question here from @Dela_yoonmin . This one, if you're not comfortable answering, you can just say so Eunseong's Appa." Jin says as he twirls his pen around his fingers.

"Mmmhmmm." Yoongi just hums.
79
"Alright, they are asking if you really do have another place in your heart for another omega." Jin asks. What follows his question was silence. A crime when it comes to broadcasting, but he didn't want to push the alpha to answer at all.

Jimin and the other guests in the restaurant all look up at the TV, all waiting for a sign that the alpha was still on the call. All waiting for what he had to say.
80
Yoongi closes his eyes, still remembering how things were with his former omega, Eunseong's omega father. Life had been easy, life was quiet. There was a sense of happiness that they had which disappeared when his omega got sick.

In the process of it all, his omega would always kid and joke. That he won't get angry and visit him in his dreams to tell him that he shouldn't have a new omega.
81
Chaemin would tell him, during the quiet moments they had especially on the end stage of his disease, that it's okay. That he wanted Yoongi to be happy again. That he can get mated, because he deserved it and because Eunseong would need an omega parent.
82
And for the past year, Yoongi had been working on it. On moving on, letting his heart grieve for the love he had and lost, to slowly get into a place where he would be ready.

"Chaemin, he would have wanted me to find a new omega. He would always remind me of that." Yoongi starts.
83
Exhaling deeply, Yoongi looks outside the window and directly at the full moon shining so brightly. Somehow, even if his omega passed, he feels that Chaemin was still there with them. Looking after them from the heavens. One of the many stars up above with the moon goddess.
84
"And if you asked me six months ago, my answer would probably be no. Not just yet. But things are different now. My heart is ready to find another. Yes, Chaemin would always have a place in my heart." Yoongi pauses as a gush of wind comes through their window. And Yoongi takes it as a sign that Chaemin knows, that he is listening.
85
"Chaemin is Chaemin. We had something good and a piece of my heart would always belong to him. But I am ready to let someone new in, to fall in love again, to be there and take care of my new omega. Because I won't just have them to have someone help me raise Eunseong up. No." Yoongi firmly says.
86
"When I find my mate, I would love them, provide for them, support them. I would never make them feel that they are just there to help me with my child because we would build a home, a family filled with love." Yoongi finishes.
87
"Dreamy alpha," The omega sitting behind Jimin mumbles. And Jimin couldn't agree more.

"Well then, Eunseong's appa. I hope you find the omega you are looking for. And before we wrap up, would it be alright with you if we have one of our listeners ask you a question or say something to you on air?" Jin asks, already opening the lines for people to call in.
88
"Sure, sleep isn't coming anytime soon." Yoongi kids.

"Alright, listeners, our lines are open and one of you would be picked to talk to talk to Eunseong's Appa, our Sleepless in Seoul Alpha." Jin queues the music.
89
"Just make sure you play it nice, no naughty questions or messages because yes," Jin looks straight at the camera in front of him pointing his pen. "I will cut you off when I deem your question or message inappropriate. Remember, we're keeping it pup-rated everyone!"
90
Suddenly every omega in the restaurant had their phone out, even the imo-nim who served Jimin his meal seemed to be dialing in.

Jimin really shouldn't call. Jimin already had Eun Woo. Calling in would be odd, especially when he didn't really have a question for the alpha.
91
Jimin just looks at his food when he hears somebody say something out loud. "Everyone, call. Just keep calling."

Jimin looks up and sees the imo-nim encouraging every omega in the restaurant until her eyes land on him.

"You!" The imo-nim points at Jimin.

"M-me?" Jimin points at himself, eyes wide, head tilted to the side.
92
"Yes you! What are you doing? Call! Call too! That's one fine alpha and if my omega son isn't married I would have asked him to call too!"

"But, imo. I'm—" Jimin starts only to be cut off with a question.

"Are you mated? I don't see any mating marks! Call, call!" The imo-nim looks around and says "If anyone gets through and talks to the alpha, your meal is on me, just call and don't miss this chance."
93
So Jimin does what the imo-nim asks. Afraid to be kicked out and tempted by the free meal offer (and he wouldn't admit it, by the chance to speak to the alpha).

He knows his chances were slim to none anyways. In that restaurant alone, there were more than 10 omegas aside from him. So he dials, he calls.
94
And while everyone around him keeps on getting a busy line, making them dial again, Jimin hears three rings from the other end and then a click.

"Hello, this is Dr Jin. And you are our lucky caller who would have the chance to speak with Eunseong's Appa. What's your name?" Jin patches through the call on-air. And that's when Jimin realizes, it was him. He was picked, amongst the omegas who were calling in. He was chosen.
95
"Hello? I'm Chim." Jimin responds making the imo-nim and every other omega inside restaurant look at him. They were all about to scream when the imo-nim visibly shushes everyone around.

"Hello there, Chim. As I said let's keep everything pup-rated okay. Are you ready to talk to our alpha on the other line?" Jin asks, preparing to patch through the two calls.

"Y-yes, I'm ready." Jimin replies, biting his lower lip down.
96
It was odd, feeling excited to talk to another alpha. He felt a bit of longing which is something he hasn't felt when he would talk to Eun Woo when he had to go away for work. But Jimin reminds himself, it's just a call. Just a conversation.
97
"Alright then, Eunseong's Appa meet our omega caller from the other line Chim." Jin says.

Jimin closes his eyes, focusing on keeping his breath stable, to not stutter. But then he hears it. That deep voice, coming through the other end of the line and not through the radio or the tv.
98
A voice so deep, raspy. So alpha, yet still so gentle.

"Hi, Chim. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello, Eunseong's Appa. It's nice to meet you too."
99

101
Yoongi couldn’t help but close his eyes after hearing the voice from the other side of the line. There was something in that voice that seemed to comfort him and his alpha. Something that called on to him that he wanted to hear more.

Soft, sweet, melodic.
102
“Hello,” Yoongi breathes out. He was an alpha of a few words, but not that few. It was as if his mind couldn't think of anything else to say to the sweet sounding omega but hello. And he hopes that he didn't just sound silly because of it.
103
But after hearing himself say hello. He suddenly had the urge to follow it up with some questions. Yoongi was already thinking of some safe questions, but his alpha just wanted to ask one question. If the omega had an alpha or was looking for his alpha.
104
But Yoongi shakes his head, words almost spilling from his lips. He knows he shouldn’t let his alpha lead him into asking that question for the omega named Chim. It was just a call, it was just a conversation or perhaps just one question he would hear from the omega.
105
But Yoongi wonders, why was it that he feels as though his throat run dry? And why did his heart suddenly jump when he heard that voice?

He can’t explain it. It doesn’t make any sense.
106
Well, there was one explanation. The "M" word he told Dr Jin about, but it was too early to say just that with just one hello.

Or was it?
107
“Hello,” Jimin replies and bites his lower lip. Cheeks burning not just from the attention that everyone in the restaurant was giving him, but also because that deep voice is scratching something inside his brain. Something that is making his omega so happy.
108
“Yes, yes. It is nice indeed to exchange pleasantries isn’t it, Eunseong’s Appa and Chim?” Jin cuts in and looks straight at the camera. He waves his pen in a teasing fashion knowing that all of his listeners, whether they were omegas, alphas or betas, were probably jealous yet excited for the three way conversation.

Jin winks at the camera and says, "Nice indeed."
109
He’s not a match maker per se. But, nobody said he couldn’t start with an alpha who was ready to fall again and what seemed to be a sweet omega caller, right?
110
It would even make for a nice dinner conversation if the two did indeed fall for each other, but well, he doesn’t want to get ahead of himself.

There's nothing much that can happen during a short Q&A or conversation, right? And Jin needed to pause for a commercial break in a few minutes and then come back to wrap up the show.
111
“So Chim, is there something that you would want to ask Eunseong’s Appa? Out of all the omega callers, you were the one who got through.” Jin then switches on to a light hearted background music, lowering the volume a bit down while he waits for caller Chim to speak.
112
“Well,” Jimin places his hand on his chest and he feels it, his heart thumping hard. He knows all eyes are on him in the restaurant, everyone waiting for what he would ask or say. And he can’t stand the pressure.
113
Jimin stands, bows at the imo-nim who smiles sweetly back at him, and exits. The door of the restaurant closes, he hears the ding of the bell and the whispers, oohs, and aahs from the people inside until the imo-nim tells them to all sit and calm down.
114
“I don’t have a question for Eunseong’s Appa, but perhaps a message? If that is okay with Eunseong's Appa?” Jimin looks down and kicks his feet at nothing.

"Eunseong's Appa?" Jin asks the alpha.

"Of course, it's alright with me." Yoongi says and hums signaling yes, he's okay with either a question or a message.
115
Jin then takes that as his queue to give a short but much needed reminder. For all he knows, the sweet sounding omega might just be one that would cause him a headache and filed complaints.

“Good, good. Now, Chim, just a quick reminder from your dear Dr Jin,"
116
"Yes, Dr Jin?" Jimin breathes in and out, his omega almost whimpered at that deep and resounding hum of the alpha.

"Play nice. The moment I deem your message inappropriate—“ Jin stops and wriggles his eyebrows for emphasis to the people tuned in the livestream. “I will cut the call, okay?” Jin finishes.
117
“Y-yes, Dr Jin. I promise to keep it pup-rated.” And Jimin hears the people in the restaurant whine, hands slapping on the table, and one even saying that it was a wasted chance.
118
For extra measure, Jimin walks a couple of steps away from the restaurant. He knows that their conversation is heard by a lot of people, but his omega feels that doing so will make it seem more personal, just between him and the alpha.
119
Feeling that enough distance is between him and the restaurant, Jimin clutches on his coat with the cold winter air surrounding him.
120
"Then please, go ahead and give your message to our dear Sleepless in Seoul alpha, Eunseong's Appa." Jin says and mutes his mic to ensure that the audio would be crystal clear between Chim and Eunseong's Appa.
121
"I guess, I just wanted to tell you, Eunseong's Appa, that Dr Jin was right when he said that any omega would be lucky to have you." Jimin pauses as he tucks one of his hands inside his coat pocket. He notices that the alpha stayed silent, perhaps waiting to see if there was something else he wanted to say.
122
And somehow, that made him smile. Most alphas would try and cut omegas off to lead the conversation, change the topic or the alpha-explain things. Eun Woo wasn't like that most of the time, but there were instances—albeit rare—when he does.
123
"You may think otherwise, but you are. You're hardworking, caring and you also seem to be not afraid to talk about your emotions and show it. And Eunseong-ah, he's lucky to have you as his appa." Jimin adds.
124
Yoongi just takes in everything that the omega named Chim said. And the one that stood out to him the most was when the omega said Eunseong was lucky to have him as his appa.

"Thank you, Chim. Thank you." Yoongi says.
125
Jimin, without knowing or seeing the alpha, can just imagine Eunseong's appa smiling as he said that. His omega whines, wanting to know how the alpha looked like in real life. If he had that usual alpha build, a little taller than omegas, broad shoulders, strong arms and big hands.
126
But all of that thought gets shoved down when he hears Eunseong's appa speak again. He quiets down his omega to just listen.
127
"That means a lot. I am trying and I do feel that I am terribly failing at times. But Eunseongie, he's a precious pup." Yoongi looks to his left just in time to see Eunseong throw his legs, wrap them around his while mumbling "appa smoothie please" making him chuckle.
128
"He's still a pup who just loves his Cappy and chocolate smoothies with an extra vanilla ice cream scoop on top. He has such a big heart." Yoongi adds.
129
Jimin couldn't help himself but sigh. Eunseong is a pup, yes. But with the call he made, it was very apparent. He was raised to be sensitive of what was going on around him, enough for the pup to notice that his appa was sad.
130
"And I have a feeling that he got that from you, Eunseong's Appa. His big heart and perhaps his bravery to reach out for help when he felt like he needed it. He called hoping to help you be happy again." Jimin says, somehow feeling the conversation that he can have with the alpha would be easy, flowing and open.
131
"Thank you, Chim." Yoongi says and looks back out again to the moon. The omega had been nothing but nice so far, and his alpha feels good. So good after such a long time. There was certainly something in the omega that's making him curiouser each second.
132
Perhaps that's why he couldn't stop himself from saying; "He certainly has a lot of love to give, I think we both do. And please, you can call me Yoongi."
133
Jimin hears a high pitched scream coming from the restaurant making him jump up, almost losing his grip on his phone. He clutches on to it tightly before it registered that the alpha had asked him, Park Jimin, to call him Yoongi.
134
"Hello, Yoongi." Jimin smiles and another scream comes from the restaurant plus loud banging of what seemed to be hands hitting desks.

"Hello, Chim." Yoongi replies, he and his alpha definitely liked the way the omega called their name.
135
"And what a very wonderful conversation you both had, Chim and Eunseong's Appa!" Jin cuts through as he sees a sign from the outside of his booth asking him to cue for commercial and then wrap up the show.
136
He didn't really want to interrupt the conversation between the two, especially with the comments they were getting. Some saying it is a love story waiting to happen, a budding romance starting from a radio show, and Eunseong's manifestation coming to life with his future omega parent Chim.
137
But he had to wrap things off, officially.

"And with that, we unfortunately have to wrap up the show. Thank you Eunseong's Appa for sharing your story with us and Chim for calling in. We will pause for a break and I'll be back to close the show." Jin plays the queued up commercials, muting his mic before talking to Eunseong's Appa on line 1 and Chim on line 2.
138
"Hi Eunseong's Appa and Chim!" Jin starts, pen and notebook out. He makes sure to move a bit so his lips won't be read as he talks to the two.

"Thank you again for joining the show, and please do let Eunseong know we appreciate his call too!" Jin says and just preps his checklist for wrapping up the show.
139
"Of course, I would let him know." Yoongi answers, hand gently combing through his pup's hair. "Great! Thank you so much and we can send over something to our little pup-star. Our station manager would give you a call back to get your details, if that is alright?" Jin asks.
140
"Oh Eunseongie would be honored." Yoongi responds, a fond smile spreading across his chest.

"Wonderful! So just to run you through, I would wrap up the segment and share a few final words, you two can also share your final messages or questions, but only if you want to."
141
Jin hears the second to the final commercial queued up and he knows he needs to be ready.

"And then I would let you two go before I do my final spiel, as I know it's pretty late already and you two might need to rest as well." Jin adds just in time for him to shift and turn his mic on again.
142
Jimin didn't want to conversation to end just yet, but maybe that was for the best. He had to go back on the road. He still had an hour or so to drive to get back home. Home where he would see Eun Woo soon.
143
"And before we close our show, let's check back in with Eunseong's Appa and Chim for their final words or questions. Chim, do you want to go ahead?" Jin queues Chim and increases the volume for his line.
144
"Oh, just that, Yoongi I do hope that you find the omega you are looking for. One who would love you and Eunseong. You both deserve to be cared after and loved." Jimin says just as light snow started to fall.
145
"Thank you, Chim. And Eonseong's Appa?" Jin asks, he was ready to make the change, redirect the two lines to another so that one of their staff can help them connect if they want to or to exchange goodbyes.
146
Yoongi sees snow falling and wonders, should he ask Chim a question? Feeling there was perhaps something different in the conversation they had. Or if he should just leave everything to fate? Just like how he met Eunseong's papa.
147
He knows he would regret it if he doesn't ask his question, and there really was no harm in asking, right? It is better to know the answer than live through life wondering the what ifs.
148
"Chim," Yoongi starts, free hand brushing up his hair. "Thank you for what you said earlier, I know you might think it's not a lot. That words are just words, but they meant a lot to me. And I just wanted to ask, if it would be alright that we continue our conversation after this?" Yoongi asks.
149
But as Jin was about to queue in a love song, a click was heard from the end of Chim's line. Jin signals to one of the staff to try and call back again. The staff quickly dials but waves his hand and messages Jin that the call goes straight to voicemail.
150
"Ah, it seems like Chim's call got disconnected. Chim, our Sleepless in Seoul Alpha would be waiting for your response. But until next time," Jin queues up his ending music, "This had been Dr Jin from Heart Avenue reminding you to never be afraid to take a chance, to be bold, to ask. You deserve to be loved. Thank you and good night."
151
Jin waves at the camera to end his show, mutes his mic and then talks to the alpha. "It seemed like we lost connection to Chim either in the middle of your question or right after. We tried to call him up again but it's going to voicemail." Jin stops, as he lists down Chim's number to give to the alpha.
152
"Would you like his number? Jin asks.

Yoongi shakes his head and wonders if it was a case of a lost signal, drained battery, or the omega simply not comfortable to answer his question. Maybe he pushed it too much, maybe that turned the omega off.
153
"Thank you, Dr Jin. But maybe it was just that, a conversation between me and Chim. I wouldn't want to intrude in his life, besides we don't even know if he has an alpha."
154
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
155
"Hello? Hello?" Jimin tries, he heard just the first part of what the alpha was saying when it seemed like he lost his signal. It was only when he looked at his phone that he realized his phone died, probably due to his battery getting drained.
156
But maybe that was just that? Their paths crossed just for a quick moment and then never again. Perhaps it was a sign, Eun Woo was there for him and he should've never called in.

So he walks back up to the restaurant only to be met by the imo-nim.
157
"Here, I packed your food for take away. I also made you a kimbap and as I said, it's on me. Best to steer clear from the everyone inside who might ask you unnecessary questions." The imo gently smiles at him.
158
"Oh, you didn't have to imo-nim." Jimin starts but the older omega just shakes her head. She wasn't in the position to ask why the younger omega left Eunseong's appa's question unanswered, but it was not her place to prod and ask.

"You're welcome. Just, have a safe trip back home."
