@α❅kim hyunil 'This guy is funny.' I thought as I heard his words. Even if I wasnt living my life the way I want to, never really did it crossed my mind to just give up and not fight back. Yes I maybe tired and had enough of some things in my life but I still kept on living. Growling lowly, I moved closer to him and noticed he was already unconscious. I could have just left but I couldn't. It would be worthless to have saved him from the wolf earlier but just leave him bleed out to death. Not trying to think complicated anymore, I picked him up on my back and dashed to the nearest medical center I know, simply dropping him at the emergency entrance as swiftly as I could not wanting people to see me in my wolf form. I left then after making sure the guy was taken inside and looked after by the medical staff. I returned to the woods and spent the rest of the night there, simply sitting down a tree branch and watching the night go by.

[] Sorry for the late reply and perhaps a crappy one orz Im just really busy at the moment.

@α❅nam joohyuk I stared u towards the sky as I was still panting, trying to catch my breath in hopes I would understand what had happened. But it was clear that someone else was watching and had decided to come to the rescue, even though I would have left the place if I was them. It was another wolf, and I was able to tell that because of how near he was, so the scent was obvious. Another thing that I noticed, however, was how careful he was, even as he moved closer, it seemed like he was careful with the things he did, and I couldn't help but smile. Even though I was feeling drowsy, I couldn't help but think how I would do the same things sometimes, stay as far away from people and only approach them if I find it safe to do so. I needed to say something, but I didn't know what, and I didn't know if it would be okay, either, but I decided to say what's on my mind. "Why did you do that? You know I won't be able to pay you back." I mumbled, letting out a sigh at the fact that I can't even defend myself properly in a situation like this. Other wolves were training everyday to become stronger, but I only become weaker. "Don't try to save me, cause it's worthless.." I mutter out once more before I can close my eyes, losing consciousness of my surroundings.

@α❅kim hyunil It happened so quick that the next thing I knew the beast was already biting on the male's shoulder. I thought he was gonna do something before the beast could get to him but he seemed to have just let the beast get him. I watched for a few more moment, waiting for the male to do anything but he was just there bleeding. I didn't really want to get in with anyone's business but I couldn't just leave either. With a sigh, I lunged off the tree branch I was standing on and transformed to my beast form before landing on the ground. I knew it wouldn't be too long until I'll lose control in this state so i had to act fast and I did. I attacked the savaged beast, aiming for it's neck but it was faster than I thought. 'Well at least it took its attention from the male now.' I thought and continued to fight against the other wolf. I was much bigger and somewhat stronger than the smaller wolf and it didn't really take long until it just took off and ran away. I stood there snarling towards the wolf as it made its way back to the forest. It's been a while since I last got engaged in a fight and I was hoping I could have ended it another way. Shaking my head immediately, I turned towards the male who was still bleeding on the ground and slowly moved towards him, gently lowering my paws with every step. I didn't really get that close, afraid that he would see me in my form and just kept my distance from him. 'He really needs to get treated right away.' He was bleeding non stop and it's not good.

@α❅nam joohyuk For a second, the beast looked somewhat confused as to why I was not putting up a fight or even challenging him. But I wasn't afraid, and I was positive that beasts like himself can smell whether I was scared or not. In fact, all of us at this place can. Every wolf can do that, and if someone is afraid, we either don't get close to them, or get angry as to why they are. In my case, I wasn't, and the beast was close enough to leaving me alone if it wasn't for a sound that I heard nearby. I didn't know if it was me that have made it by taking a step backwards, but I was sure that all I was seeing next is a hideous face on top of me, trying to grab a bite of whatever was in front of him, which seemed to have been my shoulder. I didn't quite feel the bite at first, but once I did, I couldn't help but to scream from pain. Luckily enough, the fangs were released from my shoulder, but all I could see was two black shadows. I don't know what had happened, but I was in pain, and I continued to lay in my exact same spot, shoulder still bleeding.

@α❅kim hyunil Still looking from a distance, I was slowly filled with anticipation watching the guy and the wolf closely and expecting a fight very soon but it wasn't what happened. Hearing what the guy said caused me to furrow my brows in confusion. 'What the hell is he doing?' I thought, slowly getting up from being sat down on thick tree branch and stood up. "He's Crazy." I muttered softly, shaking my head at what he is doing. He should be really trying to at least get away or do something before the wolf makes his first move. The fierce beast doesn't seem to have any plans of leaving the guy alone and the guy seemed to have lost all the care he has. I hopped off from the branch that I was standing at and landed on the branch below, still as far as possible as to not direct attention towards me. I bent down, observing them closely now and wonders what would happen next and just like I expected, the fierce beast made the first move and lunged towards the male.

@nam joohyuk I let out a sigh when I realize that the creature in front of me will not be leaving anytime soon. In fact, it's either he finishes me tonight or I have to finish him. And honestly speaking, I kind of wanted it to be the first option instead. I want nothing more than death in this world sometimes, and I know it's something that no one wishes upon themselves, but for my case, it doesn't make a difference if I'm here or under the surface of the earth. Looking up at the other, I tilted my head to the side and took my backpack off, tossing it on the ground. "I told you I wasn't going to put up a fight. So if you want to go ahead and kill me, do so." I know that if anyone heard of what I was saying, they'd think I am crazy for saying such things, for wanting death for myself. But who cares? We were all born to die one day.

@α❅kim hyunil After starting to spend time in the forest myself, I have started to get less scared of it and found myself hanging around there when I have spare time. The anxiousness is still there, and im still scared of going deep in the woods but I can manage hanging around near it. Looking towards the forest makes me curious as to what happened to me there back then but I can't bring myself to look for answers at the moment. Taking my spot on top a sturdy branch of a huge tree along the trail towards the forest, I looked around and simply watched each and every happening around me from animals grazing here and there and this guy walking along the trail and past the bridge, heading back to school. He stopped and I blinked, silently watching him wondering what seems to be a problem and I followed his gaze only to see a wolf ahead of him. "Now this is interesting.." I muttered to myself, hearing the guy trying to talk to the beast. I have seen a few fights before but it's still interest me to see one. I guess it's just both human and savage nature of wanting to know who would win and lose in a fight. I already placed my bet and I just hope the guy would put up a good fight.

@nam joohyuk /groans as I walk out of the hospital, not liking the feeling of being back at the same place I always go to. The name of it alone sickens me and makes me want to stick in my room and never come out again, but I have to do in order to continue staying at the school.
It's already getting late?
/mumbles to myself, feeling somewhat happy that the summer is over and that autumn has started to sneak in. One look at the sky was all it took for me to notice that it might rain either tonight or the following day, so I did my best to hurry back to the school.
/Coming across the forest, I make sure that no one has seen me before I walk in, fearing that some hunters might be out there, since some still exist.
/Picking up my pace, I hurry back to the school and is about to cross the bridge before I freeze in my place and let out another sigh, expect it's unheard this time around. A wolf was blocking my way and I know exactly what he wants; to fight, but I know I am far too weak for him.
/I never felt like I have lived up to my rank because I realize what my problems are, but I can't do them. That feeling came back and I couldn't be more ashamed.
Look, I don't know what your intention is, nor why you want to fight or whatever, but I'm not any good for you. So leave while I'm telling you, because I'm not going to put up a fight. Please.

@mark tuan It's a female rabbit
*smiles softly and nods*
I do too though...
*looks back at you*
Oh, I'm sorry then... I don't ever mean to scare people...

@kim jongdae Oh well I hope he is okay
*looks down and grabs my bag*
I don't see many people around here
*rubs my neck* You kind of scared me...

@mark tuan *looks up hearing you when I finish helping the small animal*
Oh... this rabbit was hurt...
*smiles softly putting my backpack on before lifting the bunny carefully and standing up*

@kim jongdae *hears you and turns around*
Hello? *peaks out of my hideout and sees a figure*
What are you doing?
*leaves the hideout*

@mark tuan *walks around quietly, looking for a quiet place*
*notices a small animal limping over to your spot and follows it not noticing you*
*takes off my backpack and takes out a small kit before picking up the small animal carefully and helping it*

@β❅kim jongdae
*smiles and walks across the bridge slowly holding my notebook tightly in my hand*
*finds my way across and heads over to a spot covered with leaves8
*moves it to reveal my own little hideout that I found*
*sits and starts writing in my notebook listening to the water*

@Toya "Toya..." The omega repeated, but he'd definitely remember this name after the favor he was asking. To him, his own name wasn't pronunced as it should but he passed on the detail, only food mattered to him while stuck there.
"I-" It was Siyeong's turn to tilt his head to the side at the pet name. Again, a detail he couldn't afford to explore just yet. The poor boy had to stay close to his heat scent and it was far from what Siyeong wanted at the moment. "Anything. I didn't have dinner last night, nor breakfast and I guess it's time for lunch and I will be out here until past midnight so if you could just gring a lot of stuff to hold the siege." He wasn't difficult, they were taught to not be difficult for those moments when being a wolf would seriously squeeze their field of choices. "But meat and other stuff... I have enough water anyway." he chuckled and smiled at the alpha.
"Thank you Toya, I'm really sorry for making you run errands but I'll rely on you for my survival."

@Ω☄hong siyeongℋ Toya had been going for a nice mindless walk. Just enjoying the forest, the scents and the scenery. It was a lovely day, and Toya was glad he had decided to deviate from his usual path and head along the bridge. Right up until a bush started talking to him. It didn't take him long to realize that bush was in heat, and that there was indeed a wolf behind it. A wolf he recognized, and was only mildly amused to hear his name wrong. "Iti's Toya, Siyong." He corrected him, tipping his head to the side at the kind of odd request. "Sure, darling, what do you want?" He asked, the pet name slipping off his tongue out of habit more than anything. He wasn't effected by the scent of the other's heat. Toya wasn't that type of alpha and he never had been. He was well in control of his instincts, especially when someone needed his help as his pack mate clearly did now.

@Toya Siyeong had went out in the middle of the night, looking for any place that would be different from his room and that could possibly prevent him from attracting or repulsing others. This was the middle of his heat and it was bad enough for him to sit by the nervous stream ofthe river and still feel very hot in the coldest moment of the night. He had eventually fallen asleep there and when he woke up, laying on the ground, the sun was high enough to be forced to stay where he was, hiding and hoping not many would use the bridge. For those who did, Siyeong hoped the forest and plants would mask most of his signature. However when he recognized someone he stood up and made signs with his hands, calling the young alpha. The thing was that he didn't see him as an alpha but mostly as a younger one in his own clan, for all it meant.
"Toma!" he mis-remembered the name, but this was a try. "Stay away for now. I'm stuck here and I need food." he said and smiled, hiding mos of his clothes all thanks to the bushes he rose from.
"Could you go and bring me some?" He had nothing to offer in return but he relied on the one he called Toma at the moment, he was alone and his cell was still in his room. "Please?"

@α❅go sanggil "I mean yeah, but I never thought you'd reply like that to me." Namjoon said through his chuckle. He couldn't keep himself from smiling, Namjoon felt like it had been forever since his smiles were something more than courteous. He nonetheless swiped Sanggil's hand away from his face. "Short face muscles are a thing of a lifetime, of course I still have dimples." He said smiling once again. "Well it's always nice to have a little company from once in a while, so I might just become a clingy pup like back then and try to influence you to do your homework." Namjoon said wiggling his eyebrows towards Sanggil. He wanted the other to actually enjoy something a wolf of his age did. No they both didn't have parents, but Namjoon at least wanted to make some normal memories people their age should, even if it was just attending school.

@Geraniumℋ "What?" He looked at you and crossed his leg and just sipped his coffee leisurely. "Oh really? This is the sort of thing i would actully say honestly" He shook his head at you and let out a small chuckle. Sanggil think of it much and continued to drink the black coffee. He didnt know why you were flirting maybe it was becayse you could sense the alpha now. He shook his head at you and poked your cheek "nice to know the dimples are still there." He shrugged at you and tilted his head "I dont think so. i just have to go and not do anything to bad." Sanggil honestly didnt care. He just went at least he got a free bed and free meals thats all it meant for him.

@Nigella "Oh my god!" Namjoon said as he stared at the other with disbelief. "I can't believe you just said that." He continued before letting out a laugh. Namjoon that it was funny how things had fallen into a wanna-be flirty mood with Sanggil. It was more comical than endearing for Namjoon if he was completely honest with himself, but it happened so naturally that became baffling. "Oh, yeah well we definitely don't want that, so you better hit the books properly. I mean not literally of course!" He said correcting himself after the sudden image of Sanggil tearing up his books planted itself on his head. "I can even be your study budy if you ever need one." Namjoon wouldn't pry or judge Sanggil for any of his decisions. It had been hard enough for the other growing up so Namjoon didn't expect pure perfection from Sanggil, now all he cared about was being there for Sanggil. The mistakes the other made in the past would be left at that because Namjoon wanted something better for his friend.

@Geraniumℋ Sanggil looked over and laughed a bit when you gave him a small shove. "What huh? Finally bloomed with all that omega in you. You want me when you cant have me. Unless you ask sweetly." He loved to tease you it made him happy because you would always act in the cutest of ways. He never thought you would actully act like an omega infront of an alpha. This was strange to him, because he never thought he would do things like this with you or anyone in general. "mmm i see." He nodded when you asked when he had to be back at school. "Ultimatum actullty. School and learn to behave or.. go to jail for a couple years. SO school it is for me." He was a delinquent and he had done bad things but he wouldnt digress it with you. There was no need for it.

@Nigella Namjoon chuckles and playfully leaned over the table to give Sanggil a gentle shove. "Don't mess with me Sang, you'll get me all worked up if you continue." It was funny how Sanggil was able to bring out the omega in Namjoon. He could never really picture himself acting like a flirty vixen preying on its next victim, so it was a weird feeling to start the cat and mouse games with Sanggil. "I wouldn't go as far as saying I enjoy it but it's doable," he said with a shrug and immediately raising a brow at the comment Sanngil made. "You have to be? Are you being forced back into system?" He said mentally preparing himself for a batte to defend his friends rights. He might not get physical, but he sure as hell would start an uproar if needed. From a very young age Namjoon learned that staying quiet towards injustice never brought forth anything good, and it wasn't that he didn't want Sanggil back in school. Namjoon just wanted it to be something Sanggil did because he wanted to and not just forced to do.

@Geraniumℋ He listened to you and nodded. He didnt pay to much attention to things like that. He dressed the way he wanted but was limited to what he had. He still wanted to dress nice in his own way. He looked over at you and shrugged a bit. "Believe it because its true." He didnt deny anything about it. Sanggil didnt have to much of a good life. He laughed a bit at how much you changed in life. You were still the same but still so different. He smiled a bit at you. "well thats good at least you enjoy im back in school because i have to be."

@Nigella Nakhon cleared his throat trying not to think to deeply about the other's comment. It made him happy in the cruelest of ways, knowing the other still thought so highly of him made Namjoon proud. But as proud as he could be it was sad to think that after him nothing positive ever came into Sanggil's life. He hoped it was just an over exaggeration of a compliment and not Sanggil's reality. "Don't say stuff like that I might believe it." He said through a pressed chuckle. "And yes swag, it's may style." The smug grin plastered on his face depicted his seriousness about the matter. Having spent too much time online had taken it's toll on Namjoon's choice of words. It's not that there weren't any people around him that he could talk to, it was simply easier to express his true self through the a computer screen where things could be kept more unanimous. "My sweet tooth is what keeps the sugar cane business alive." He declared, knowing fully well that his sweet tooth was completely irremediable. "Well nothing much really, just wasting my youth away in the comfort of my room when I'm not in school. How about you, are you still attending classes?" He questioned before bringing his coffee flavored syrup back to his lips for a sip.

@Geraniumℋ "Well probably the only good light i have had in my life" He gives you a small smile and shook his head when you just started to complain about your wasg and what not. He didnt think that you would be the type of person to have say all those things. "Swag really?" He laughed a bit and drinking his black coffee. THe bitter taste of the fresh coffee beans was good enough for him. "I know your sweet tooth dont worry about that. Its not mop water. ITs manly i have no idea what you are talking about." He coninguned sipping it and remeber you would always call him an old man when they were younger and teasing him. "So.. Tell me Namjoon. What are you up to know/" He was really curious about your life now

@Nigella "Glad to know you've kept me under a good light." He said, flashing the other a genuine smile. "Yah, you're messing up my swag!" He complained as he smacked the other's hand away playfully, trying to tame his unruly locks of hair. Namjoon figured it was just the grownup version of their old childish teasing, so he tried to overlook and dismiss the phenomenon. Hearing news about the added sugar made him happier than actually being able to taste it. It was nice knowing the other still remembered simple things like this after so long. "Woah! Sir, you just got yourself swag points with this!" He said pointing at his cup of coffee and giving Sanggil a thumbs up. "Oh, and of course you'd still have that bitter mop water." Namjoon stated, as he peeked over at the murky liquid you called black coffee. He always liked teasing the other for his bitter taste in drinks, ranging from coffee to even teas with a really strong and fragrant qualities. Namjoon was sure Sanggil's choice of beverages was similar in that way, even the liquor the other consumed must be that way.

@Geraniumℋ Sanggil looked at you and smiled a bit "Tell me about it. One of the only good thing that was in my life." He put his hand on your head and ruffled your hair. Sanggil was just being himself with you and fifnt think he would be flirting with you but here they were. Maybe it was because he could fully understand that you were that omega. And he was a single alpha without a mate. He sighed having this thought and didnt want to ruin their new kindled friendship with top like that. He remebered basically about things for you. He gave you the coffee and sipped his black coffee. "Good. I added a bit more too it." He started to lead you to one of the benches to sit down. "I remeber. I used to sneak you lollies and cookies and back then."

@Nigella "Well if I count you as one of those things then yes, I do know the better things in life." He added with a playful wink at the end of his sentence. As strange as it may have been, Namjoon couldn't help himself from falling back into the cat and mouse games he and Sanggil always had. Sure they may have been on the more flirtatious side of the spectrum, but he'd blame that on puberty and the never ending I-must-mate hormones that filled every wolf. Regardless of it all it was nice being able to slip back into the comfortable space their friendship created. Sanggil must have even remembered Namjoon's sweet tooth if the coffee he brought back was any indication of that. "It's perfect, thank you." He said smiling as he received his warm cup of coffee. "I'm still a er for sweets, I swear I'm gonna need dentures by the time I'm 40 if I continue consuming sweets like I do, but whatever. As long as I'm happy who cares if I don't have teeth." He said lightly laughing to himself, before bringing the cup to his lips and downing a sip of the warm beverage.

@Geraniumℋ "Well at least you know the better things in life right." He looked at you and laughed softly. He poked your cheek and nodded to himself laughing more at your joke "Not at all more like the stuff you put on the wall. Elegant you know." He looked at you and shrugged some. "You know. Your smile hasnt changed at all." He smiles at you and was able to enjoy this time. He couldnt believe he this at all. After all this time it seemed like they havent been separted at all. He loved this all. He finally haved a friend or someone that almost cared in his past. He finally got their coffee and came back to you. "Here you go. I got you a latte if you dont mind at all.:"

@Nigella "There is no shame in acknowledging good visuals when you encounter them you know." He replied back, putting on his signature cheeky smile. "I hope that by hit you don't mean that I look like road kill." Cracking up at his own joke, Namjoon covered his mouth with his hand and tried not to cackle away too hard. "I mean if the company is great the coffee should just come as a plus right? So don't fret over it." Namjoon was enjoying himself far too much from this being their first encounter after many years. And maybe it was for the best that they were able to overcome something so painful earlier on, it could serve as the basic grounds for a lifelong friendship. The tattered clothing the other wore was irrelevant to Namjoon, it wasn't as if his own clothes were better of. His simple tee shirts, faded jeans and battered sneakers was about as nice as Namjoon's wardrobe got, but that wasn't something he gave importance to. He valued life's simple pleasures, and indulging himself with nice company. He'd rather have a reason to smile over having expensive clothes, and shallow friendships any day of the week. He just wanted his own place to call home as well as friends and family to love.
