◍ river

@Ω☄jackson wang
Mark was greeted by the cold breeze as he stepped out of his dorm at around 3 o'clock in the morning. He normally did this since he couldn't sleep thanks to the nightmares that inhabited his subconscious. However at 3 am no one was out and he was free to walk around in his wolf form without worry. At night it seemed as if the world was moving slower and the thoughts that terrorized him finally seemed to quiet. Walking to the river he changed and walked around the crystal clear water that seemed to reflect every aspect of the night sky. When he looked up he was surprised to see what he thought to be another wolf across the way. He quickly changed out of his form and hid behind a tree. What if they were gonna tell on him? or hurt him? Mark never trusted wolves after what happened to his family and thanks to this school he was surrounded by them.

@α❅kwon jiyong The approval his parents had needed to give them before he could even imagine accepting and willingly going into a mating, had not crossed his mind, nor was it now. He was purely acting on his selfish desires to be with the alpha for as long as 'forever' would be for them. Everything that would come in between the title of a mate and lover, he'd figure out eventually. He just wanted to be everything the alpha would ever want, just as he was already that for him. The blush that was settled on his cheeks had only darkened when the alpha had leaned down and pressed a kiss to his neck. Yes, he wanted everything the alpha would and could offer him with his words. Hearing the alpha just put to words his thoughts had made his heart skip several beats. He wanted that, to be the alpha's and vise versa. There was no one else he would ever feel this desire for, and he was willing to keep it that way. He couldn't say 'I love you', not with his own words, not yet. He was afraid they would say the opposite of what he wanted to declare so instead he had leaned into the other's chest and pressed a kiss to him, just over his heart. For now, he wished that would be enough to convey his feelings. When the other grabbed his hand, Minki held onto it tightly as he allowed himself to be led back to their room. The closer they got to the room the more his heartbeat speed up. He was nervous because he would be giving himself wholeheartedly to someone he loved for the first time.

@Ω❅choi minki Oh the surprise Minki was in for when Jiyong knew what he was thinking. Selfish didn't even come close to what the alpha would say. No. He'd tell the boy he was silly, but he'd given him everything he'd ever wanted. Though he missed his family, he'd never wanted anything as much as he wanted this boy. Seeing the shy look on his face, he leaned into his ear and whispered, "You don't have to be shy with me. You already know I love you and I only want to take care of you and give you everything you've ever dreamed of." Pulling back just a bit, he kissed the boy's neck and smiled. "Then I will give you everything, but after I do...you're mine and no one else can have you." He was finally staking his claim and he didn't care if other's liked it or not. Not even the boy's parents. Looking down at his soon to be lover and mate, he felt exceptionally blessed. The thought led to another and he growled deep in his throat as he clarified, "And I will be yours. No one will ever tear us apart my sweet, feisty little prince." He pecked the boy's nose and nodded, taking his hand and pulling him to their room.

@α❅kwon jiyong When the look on the others face changed from a sad one to a grinning one, he felt a little more relieved to see the alpha's mood had lightened. But at the same time it made him nervous and shy because of what he had asked and the manner in which the alpha was responding to his selfish desire. He looked down at their joint hands, letting his fingers grip tightly around the other before saying, "Everything." Mating would eventually mean intimacy, right? He wanted everything with the alpha, no matter what they would entitle and no matter the end outcome of either one. He didn't mind the possibility of getting pregnant, so long as he had that bond with the alpha. He couldn't shake off how selfish he was being asking for both, but he couldn't help but be greedy with his options. "I want it all," He repeated as he buried his face in the alpha's chest.

@Ω❅choi minki He felt the sigh and closed his eyes, feeling most of the tension leave his body. Just feeling this boy in his arms had pushed all thoughts of those pups and their parents from his mind. He was practically clinging to this boy as though he would suddenly disappear. He grinned at the blush, but it was a happy one, because he believed the boy knew what he wanted and that they would both remember this forever. It promised himself if this happened, he would be as gentle as possible. With a nod at the boy's words, Jiyong smiled. "I won't either." He then pecked the omega's cute lips and took his hand, but paused. "Minki, what exactly do you want? Do you want to have or....mate?" He whispered the last word, afraid he might have misunderstood. If the boy said mate, he would be the happiest person in the world, but even if it was just he would give him what he wanted. Then, of course, he thought about what would happen if the omega ended up pregnant. Oh what he wouldn't give to have Minki grow round with his child and to be a real family. No one else would do. He only wanted this boy. The problem was, this would be his first time having , so he was really nervous, but he knew enough to know to be careful.

@α❅kwon jiyong When the other had wrapped around him, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. He wanted these gentle arms always there, embracing him and making him feel secure. He didn't want to think about the pups any longer, nor the thing the alpha had done to help a friend. It only made him feel bitter, but maybe it was because he didn't understand it completely and was only feeling all bitter all on his own. He wanted to know, but right now his feelings were hurt that the inevitable things they had done in the past could alter their future if it ever caught up with them again. Hearing the alpha speak again he could only be brought back to what he had said to the other. A dark blush had settled on his face as he nodded his head, "Hm." He was more than sure that this is what he wanted. Whether he was being selfish or not, he wanted this like he'd never wanted anything in his life. He wanted a deeper bond with the other. "I wont regret it," He assured the other when he noticed the hesitation in his eyes. His arms had wrapped around the other tightly, as if it'd assure him even more on just how sure he was being with his selfish request. He wasn't sure what it all entitled but he wanted it all.

@Ω❅choi minki There was so much in his life that had hurt him. Losing his family was just the beginning. After, he'd found a new pack, but that hadn't lasted and even now he was realizing that he'd never had real friends before. The "friend" he'd helped out by giving him pups hadn't been his true friend. After all, it wasn't as if Ji had known what would happen, but he'd thrown him away and since his parents were the leaders of the pack, the alpha had been forced to leave. It made him regret helping the guy. He'd hurt the one person he truly loved because of it. As he adjusted to the other hugging him, he relaxed. It was instinct forged from fighting for his life for so many years that caused him to stiffen whenever someone touched him. As he held the other, he snuggled him closer and buried his face in his neck as he let his tears fall. It wasn't like he wanted to hide it from this boy anyway. "Yes I did. And I meant that." He could never see this boy as selfish or anything like that. Instead, he saw this boy as his savior in a way. He'd saved him from himself and from his loneliness. When he heard the request, he looked down at his love and looked uncertain. "Are you absolutely sure that's what you want?" 'I want to do that, but will he regret it tomorrow? Will he hate me later? Can we get past my history?'

@α❅kwon jiyong The things the alpha had done before they had met, shouldn't have been something that should bother him but he couldn't shake it from his head. This little insight into the alpha's past seemed to have threatened his future. The pups, eventually would want to know him right? Or what if his friend wanted to reunite? It was a rather difficult situation that shouldn't bother him at all, but it was. He was just being extremely selfish. It was his selfishness that was making him think this way. The thought of that made him upset and tearful. Minki's hands tightened around the other ever so slightly. He didn't want the other to walk away from him and leave him alone. He couldn't bare going back to being alone, not after knowing what it felt like having someone care and cherish him so, like the alpha did. Even though he couldn't believe the story because of how bundled up the alpha had been when he had told him, and all the little additions that had only sent him into further confusion, he didn't want the other to go away. He didn't know whether the other had stiffened because he'd been mad at him for saying what he had but he didn't want that. He had buried his face into the other's back, nudging his nose into his warmth as if trying to comfort him in a way. He didn't want the other to hate him for being so selfish, but he couldn't let his precious friend go. He wanted to be at the other's side, even if one day he'd grow tired of him or decided otherwise, which hurt to even imagine it. "You said you'd do anything for me," He said out into the other's embrace. 'I know I'm being selfish, but I want to be with you', is what he wanted to say, but in a way he wanted everything he could give. Minki looked up at the other, his shaky hands had loosened his hold on the other and come up to cup his face. He leaned up pressing a peck into the other's lips before whispering, "Can't you just make me yours?" He whispered before kissing the other's lips. 'I want him to understand me completely'.

@Ω❅choi minki Ji didn't like what he was feeling, but he now at least new he could feel something. He was mostly feeling pain at this point and he knew Minki likely wouldn't believe him even though he was telling him the truth, but then it was a lot to process. Not only that, but he hadn't explained as well as he would have liked. He didn't know what else he could do at this point though. Maybe they should spend time alone. It wasn't as if that would be so hard. Jiyong liked being outside AND he had a ton of work to get done. It wouldn't be so hard for him. But what about Minki? How would he handle them being apart? He didn't know and he would never do anything intentionally to hurt his friend. The part of him that always tried its best to protect him from being hurt told him to just keep his past to himself, because no one would ever accept him for who he was, but Ji knew he could never do that with his omega. If the other couldn't accept him, then he'd just be alone forever, but he at least wanted to share this with his best and only true friend. This would be it though. If Minki didn't accept him, then how could he expect anyone else to? As he felt the arms around him, he stopped moving and stiffened out of habit. "What do you want?" He turned his head to look over his shoulder at the boy who had his heart. He hadn't expected the boy to love him back, but it still hurt a bit. He then turned around and wrapped his arms around the omega. "I will do anything for you Minki. Just....please don't leave me. I need you." He was desperate and the tears he'd been holding back began to fall.

@α❅kwon jiyong The hands he had liked holding onto him were the same hands letting him go now. Honesty was a cruel mistress, it built and broke just as easily as anything else could, and right now it felt like it was breaking something big. The alpha was trying to explain to him and put his thoughts to ease, but even so he couldn't help but think a little bitterly on the subject. How could they hate him when he had helped them? He wasn't understanding any of this! He felt like the other was lying to him about something, or keeping something else hidden from him. Hadn't he impregnated the omega because he was asked too? Or had he done it by force thinking he was helping? Either way his mind wasn't fully wrapping around it. The bitterness he felt was making it impossible to see his side, but only his own selfish side. He didn't want the other to keep secrets from him, just like he didn't want to keep secrets from the other as well. When the other had said something about leaving he had looked up to see the other. He was smiling at him, but that smile wasn't fully reaching his eyes and what hurt him was that he was walking away now. He hadn't asked what he had because he was acting out of anger. No, he was asking it out of selfishness to keep the other at his side, but he supposed that was wrong of him to attempt to do no matter how he felt towards the other. He didn't want anyone else, nor would he regret it. The alpha's words confused him on the subject that left him feeling bitter, but that didn't change how he felt. He still wanted to be selfish and keep the friend that had seen right through him at his side. And only seeing him walking away like that was hurting him only more. How could he believe something like that? The story was all bundled up and he felt bitter towards beings that were the alpha's no matter what he said about them. Where was he supposed to stand in all of this? On the sidelines? He shook his head and followed behind the other, with fresh tears staining his face. His arms had wrapped around the other's back and he'd buried his face in it. Even if it would be the only time, he wanted the other to hold him. "I know what I want," He grumbled under his breath, trying his best to hold in the sobs.

@Ω❅choi minki What had he done? Did Minki hate him now or could he forgive him. He had no idea, but he knew he'd do his best to make it up to his beloved Omega. He had never felt so much pain or frustration before, but he knew it was from the thought of losing Minki altogether. When the other boy tried to pull away, the alpha loosened his hold, but didn't fully let go of him. When he saw the other trying to hide his tears, he couldn't do it anymore. He'd always sworn to hurt anyone who hurt this boy and this time, he'd hurt him. He couldn't deal with that and even if the other forgave him, it didn't change the fact that it had already happened. So when the boy yelled at him, he let his arms drop and just stood there, staring at the floor. After witnessing his family's murder, he'd never thought anything could hurt him more, but this did. He'd only wanted to be honest, but maybe that had been a mistake. "Okay." His voice held a tremor as he was on the verge of tears himself. "I need you to know though that their mom hates me and as for my friend, the beta, I doubt he feels much different. I don't know if that makes a difference, but it's the truth. I don't want to keep secrets from you, but I guess that's one I should've held onto, huh?" The more he thought about his old friend and that pack and now Minki, he realized that no matter where he went, he always seemed to bring pain. He wanted a family, yes, but not the way Minki seemed to think. He wanted his parents and sister back. And he wanted to keep this omega with him forever. At this point, maybe he'd spare the boy more pain by just leaving though. "I'm sorry that I hurt you. I promised that I would never let anyone hurt you, but I did it myself. Maybe I should just leave, but before I do, you have to know Minki....I love you." With that, he gave him a small smile and begin to walk away. Then he heard the other's request and stopped. "I can't. I would love nothing more, but I can't when you're mad at me and hurting. What if you regret it tomorrow? Then I really will lose you. I'd rather have you hate me..." Why was fate tempting him like this. With his little beauty asking him to take him, how was he supposed to resist. if Minki asked him again, he wasn't sure he could totally resist. This was something he now realized he'd wanted for a long time. Unable to leave him now though, he turned back and stared straight into the omega's eyes. "Minki, do you have any idea what I want most in this world? I know you do. You know I want a family, but I don't think you understand fully. I want my parents, my sister and.....you. No family could be more perfect to me, but they're dead, so I was hoping one day you and I could start our own family and maybe we'd end up with alphas, omegas and betas, just like my original family. I doubt you believe that I don't want kids that are biologically mine, but it's the truth. And just to clarify, I didn't have with their mom. In all honesty, I never really liked him, but my friend did, so I tolerated him. End of story. Now you have to decide if you believe me or not and what you want to do from here." He leaned in and kissed his precious omega's head before pulling back and walking back outside. Right now, they both needed space to think and he did so best outdoors.

@α❅kwon jiyong He had full intentions of heading back to his dorm before the other even had time to react or even think of following him. He was sure he couldn't outrun the alpha even if he had wanted to do that at the very moment, and that was only proven when he felt the alpha's hand wrap around his arm, halting him from further running. The tug the alpha had made on his arm had him colliding into the alpha's chest. A swirl of emotions were spinning within him, and most of them he couldn't really understand why they were there. "Let go of me!" He had growled out in a non-threatening way as he tried to push himself away from the alpha. He needed his space right now to clear his head. Tears were starting to build in his eyes in frustration at not being able to hold enough strength to get far. He stopped struggling when the alpha had started to explain and attempt to convince him how little pups that were his blood and flesh meant so little to him. "I don't wanna know about them!" He yelled at the other as his hands came up to cover his eyes to hide the tears that had begun to run down his face. He couldn't fully believe that a part of him didn't want them..didn't desire for them. Even if he was helping, he was still their father. What was he to do if one day he decided he did want them in his life? ...Nothing, because he was just an extra in that already perfectly calculated equation. The alpha longed for a family, and those pups were family even if he hadn't wanted it..they were his family, and the alpha longed for that bond again. So, he didn't entirely believe he didn't want them. He was being selfish, he knew that when he got bitter at just the thought of pups coming back into the alpha's life and altering his. Is that why he felt so hurt? He didn't want the alpha's past to alter his own life with the alpha? The thought made him only frown, he felt it was half true in a way. The alpha was afraid of hurting him and loosing him because it happened to the mother of his pups. He must have cared a great deal about that omega if he had willingly helped him have pups. The thought had made his heart sink only further and a bitter strings sting at his heart. The trauma he felt for someone he says he doesn't care about, didn't add up in his mind, and the green little monster inside him felt bitter because of it. What kind of proof did he want? "Take me," He said uncovering his face and looking at the alpha's chest.

@Ω❅choi minki The alpha didn't even have a chance to respond before the other rushed away from him. His heart dropped and he felt as though he couldn't breathe. This was too much. In that instant, he knew that they needed each other. Not wasting anymore time, he ran after the omega and when he caught him, he spun him around and hugged him to his chest, refusing to let him go. "Minki, please stop. Don't walk away from me." He sighed and cupped the boy's cheeks knowing that he needed to clarify his tie to the pups. He'd intended to do just that, but the boy had walked away from him. "Baby, I don't feel anything for those pups. Yes I made them, but their was no love involved, so it means nothing to me. I want to have a family with YOU. Only you. I never even saw them." Actually, he didn't even know if the pups had made it. They may not have, but he left before he could find out. That's just how little it mattered to him. He had never wanted or dreamed of having kids until he'd met Minki. "Are you still mad at me?" He was desperate for this boy not to be angry, but he admitted that he had a right to be. It wasn't as if they'd known each other then, but there was still a part of him that belonged to someone else. "How can I prove to you that you're the only one I want? Tell me how to show you and I will. Whatever you want." He was just that sure that Minki was the one for him and that he would do anything to keep him by his side. There was something else bothering him too, but he wasn't entirely sure what it was. "Sweetie, what's bothering you? Will you tell me?"

@α❅kwon jiyong The alpha had been able to decipher the words he had been throwing at him with no problem, but it seemed these he hadn't understood. It felt like a small pang to him watching the alpha roll his eyes at him in annoyance. 'I wasn't the one who misunderstood,' he thought to himself the moment the other had spoken up, but not saying a word out loud. When the alpha took him by the hand and lead him back inside he followed obediently. He had no idea where they were going, especially when they had passed the way towards the dorms. His eyes had looked in the direction for a second, watching as the hall grew further away from them before looking back at the alpha. Where were they going? The confusion that had befallen him had quickly disappeared when he saw the canteen doors. Right, the other had mentioned food to him. The thought made his stomach flip hungrily at that. When they had come to an empty table away from the few people occupying the room, he sat down as ordered. He couldn't exactly be happy about being reminded about the yakitori he had asked for, especially when the other was making that face. His teeth had chewed on his bottom lip as he nodded giving the other a sign he would listen to his explanation attentively. He didn't know what he expected the other to say to him, but it sure wasn't what he had said. Sure, twins were somewhat of a rare occurrence, but that wasn't what his mind had focused on nor what had sent his heart to drop. Jiyong had kids, helping or not, they were his. He could understand that he didn't want him to die, but he couldn't help but wonder if the wolf side of him didn't long for the pups. "A-Aah~" was the only thing that had seemed to come out of his mouth for a long time until most of it sinked in. Having multiple didn't scare Minki, nor death, what scared him was their status. His hands had slammed against the table, "It doesn't scare me," Minki had said annoyed as he stood up from his seat in a rather rush. The chair had made a loud creak sound when it had dragged back from underneath him, "I understand. Excuse me," He said before rushing away. He wasn't upset, Jiyong was the one scared of this atleast that was what he understood. He won't cause Jiyong pain, nor did he want to give him reason to feel pain, but right now Minki couldn't shake off the feeling of hurt in his chest. He couldn't understand why it hurt either, wasn't what he wanted from Jiyong. He wanted that promise of forever, but a pup was something that would forever be the alpha's even if it was to help his friend. Doesn't his wolf crave for that pup? Or was he imprinting on him because he couldn't have that pup? He'll be given away when a suitable alpha or beta came to claim him, right? Well he didn't want that!

@Ω❅choi minki Jiyong knew he'd never get enough of this boy's feisty spirit and and that was okay with him. It was just nice to have him around. When he heard the snarky remark this time, he rolled his eyes, but pulled his boy closer. "Minki...you don't understand. I'm not saying I would do anything you didn't want." He then sighed and realied he needed to tell Minki about his past. After all, if they were going to stay together, the boy deserved to know. He took his hand and pulled him back toward the dorms, grabbing his stuff in the process. When they reached the dining hall, he made sure they were alone. "Sit." He took a deep breath, not sure how the other would tak what he was about to tell him. "Okay. I'll make you yakitori, but I have to tell you something, so you understand why I say I don't want to hurt you." He chewed his bottom lip and then launched into his explanation. "I got my friend pregnant in the past so he and his mate would have kids. The problem was, he ended up with twins and it almost killed him. I don't know how that happened since my parents said no one in our family has ever had multiples, but..." He paused to collect himself. "Minki I can't risk causing you that kind of pain. Do you understand? I care about you too much! If something happened to you....I think I might die." He turned away after he said it, not wanting to see the other's face, afraid that the boy really would reject him now. He wouldn't blame him if he did.

@α❅kwon jiyong The alpha seemed to smile at him though, he seemed to read through the words and get what he really meant, and that alone made the alpha very special. But then again, he didn't fully understand him either. He knew the other would never do something that would cause him any pain, and he was sure he would be true to his word but he didn't seem to pleased with that either. "Who said i'd let you talk me into something i didn't want?" he had grumbled under his breath before shaking his head at the thought. He wasn't scared of that, he was scared that if they did have family in the future that the alpha wouldn't be pleased with the status the pup would be born with. He didn't want that. When the other had said he was attempting to keep him healthy he couldn't help but let out a small laugh. Of course, that was his only intention, which was very sweet and made him feel funny inside. He was indeed hungry and tired from all the running and worrying about the alpha. "I want Yakitori," Minki said in a rather authoritative manner.

@choi minki At some point, the alpha stopped seeing the rabbits and instead saw himself playing with Minki. He knew with all his heart that this boy was all he needed, even though he selfishly wanted his own pups one day. Maybe he could get someone else to bear his pups, so he wouldn't scare Minki. He wasn't dumb. Even if the boy liked kissing him, it didn't mean he'd enjoy lovemaking. If he were completely honest with himself, he was afraid to make love to the omega. He was terrified that he'd hurt him. He could barely stomach the thought, never mind what he'd do if it actually happened. When he heard the other's comment, he looked down at him and wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. Instead, he shook his head. "Minki, you don't have to do that. I told you I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do." Then his voice got softer, so much so that it was barely above a whisper. "Besides, I don't want to hurt you." Even the thought of the omega swelling with his child inside him filled him with pride, but he couldn't. How could he explain if the past repeated itself? This boy had a family and while they might not show it, he knew they loved him. As he looked at the way his companion was holding on to him, he frowned in confusion, then burst out laughing. "Ya! I am trying to keep you strong and healthy. Besides, if you start to get fat, we'll just play more often. How does that sound?" He hugged the boy against him and felt his heart beating strong. It made hims smile since he knew how strong this boy was.

@kwon jiyong The other probably felt alone whenever he saw things like this, but he couldn't really say he understood how indepth his loneliness went. Sure, he knew how it felt more than anyone else, but not as much as the alpha did. He'd lost all his family, and he still had his in a way and with the alpha at his side he didn't feel so lonely either. "Don't make that face, I'll give you a family," Minki had said making himself blush. He really wanted to comfort the other with a simple, 'You don't have to feel so lonely, I'll be your family,' but of course he couldn't really trust that something innocent and comforting would leave his mouth. It was embarrassing really, to hear himself most of the time say things like this, but in a way he wanted it. When the other had apologized and kissed his forehead he couldn't help but frown. He was still thinking about the game? He wanted to play, but the distraction of families was there again. He wanted to alleviate the alpha's sadness. Minki had gripped onto the other's shirt, not wanting to let go. "Are you trying to make me fat?" He grumbled as he stepped closer to the other and let his head rest up against the other's chest. He really was hungry, and the idea made him happy.

@Ω❅chae hyungwon Sanggil had rushed to the river as fast as he could. The scent was growing stronger and stronger. He was close but where was he? He saw nothing and his nose drifted to the ground and he found your footsteps. Where had the younger gone. He couldnt handle this. He promised to protect the younger with his life like he did with the hunters. Why would he just go out like this without him? He always waited for him to be together. He made his way to the river and thats where the trails go. He loved the younger with his heart like he loved SIyeong. There was nothing more than his family being complete without him there. He had a bad feeling in his stomach. He saw the bubbles come to the top of the of river and thought to himself. Hyungwon wouldnt do that... He is a happy omega he is pure nothing like this... Slowly more bubbles came up but less each time. He was getting worried. And he just shifted. The river shouldnt be to cold right now right. He put on his shorts and dove in. He swam to and used his senses to find him. He needed to be there for him. He wouldnt let him drift like this. Deeper and deeper he got, closer to the bottom, he found him ther already close to the edge. He grabbed him and started to swim to the top.

@choi minki He had been alone for so long now that it shouldn't even bother him. At least he had no one to answer to or to hurt if he did something wrong. If he couldn't provide a good life for himself, then it was his problem and no one else's. Remembering the way his father had cared for him, his sister, and his mom, made him feel deftly inadequate. He wanted Minki to stay with him, but how could he keep him if he didn't know for sure he could take good care of him. It terrified him and he was so afraid to admit it, not that he had anyone he could really talk to about it. Seeing the way the bunnies were helping each other and gathering food just reminded him of what he'd lost. His family. The people he loved and who had loved him and protected him. Was he really strong enough to protect Minki and to make sure the boy was fed and protected? He knew he'd give anything up for his omega even if it meant not eating so he'd have enough or going without in general. When he felt the warm hand squeeze his, he smiled and looked at his companion. "Hey. Sorry I didn't stop sooner, but look at that," he held their intertwined hands up, "I guess I'm it again, huh?" With a peck to the boy's forehead, he ruffled his hair. No. He couldn't let Minki go and he reassured himself of that each time he kissed him. He loved the feeling of intimacy with this boy. "We should go in soon. It's getting late and I want to make sure you eat some more." He smiled down at his friend and pulled him closer.

@kwon jiyong It was all fun and games at first, the excitement that coursed through him as he chased the alpha but after a while the alpha wasn't slowing down. Jiyong was getting further and further away with no signs of stopping and that was starting to both confuse and scare Minki. He didn't know what was going through the others mind running like he was. Afterall, he was an omega and his speed wasn't nearly as quick at the alpha's, and he could tell by how much bigger the space between them was getting. Did the alpha no longer want to play with him? The thought made him frown and slow down. Surely, he knew that he wouldn't have been able to keep up right? But the alpha did stop, a distance away from him, but he had stopped. Grasping onto that thought Minki took off in a run once more in the direction the other was. When he was near enough he had slowed down, remembering they were playing a game. He found the alpha by the river, and he had to stop. Jiyong really looked like he belonged there. The scenery surrounding him was beautiful, but the other didn't seem to have noticed much of it, instead his eyes had focused on a small family of bunnies. He couldn't fully understand the meaning in those eyes of his, but he could only guess he missed it. "Jiyong?" He had murmured once he had found the courage to get near him again. His hand had slipped into the other's and given it a light squeeze.

@choi minki Even though he was ultimately planning to go back to the other boy, the alpha had never really explored this clearing before and what he found as he moved further away from his friend made a thrill of excitement race through his veins as he hatched a new idea. It was beautiful out here. He wasn't sure what Minki would think, but he hoped he'd be willing to come with him one night and they could watch the stars and eat together. He nearly groaned when he thought of all the things he wanted to do with this boy. Most of them were things that he hadn't wanted to do again after he lost his family, but everything was different with his omega. As he ran, Jiyong realized that Minki might actually be mad at him and that thought nawed at his gut. His sister had always liked it, but the boy wasn't his sister. He slowed to almost a walk, hoping that the boy wouldn't be too mad at him and without paying much attention, he ended up back at the river. Deciding to let the boy catch him, so he could make sure he was okay, he saw a family of rabbits playing near their burrow. He just watched, not as predator watches, but as an observer would. It fascinated him how carefree they were and longed for that. It wouldn't happen though and he knew it. There were too many responsibilities on his shoulders. He couldn't relax or play for long and he had to accept that. Had to make his parents proud and fulfill their wishes.

@kwon jiyong It was highly confusing to him to see the alpha redirect his direction somewhere else. Couldn't he smell him? He couldn't help but think to himself as he slowly rose more and more from his hiding place to watch the other. It only confused him further when he took to looking through a different area he was not even close to. 'Where is he going?' He couldn't help but think a little panicked when the alpha seemed to only be growing further and further away from him. He was nearly fully standing when the other had sneaked up behind him, tackling him to the grounds. He was taken by surprise, making a squeal leave him as he fell. "That's no fair!" He fumed as his cheeks turned a bright red at having the other peck his lips before quickly departing from him yet again with a declaration that he was 'it'. Minki had sat up from the ground, a hand touching his lips as he watched the other run off again. He still couldn't help but feel a little weird inside whenever the other did things like this, but it wasn't a bad weird, it was just odd that it left him wanting more. He shook his head before getting himself up from the ground and taking off into a run in the direction the other had left. He didn't like being 'it' so he was determined to catch the other for sure, "No using your alpha speed!"

@[H] α❅go sanggil✧ℋ Hyungwon opened his eyes once he was underwater, looking up as he started sinking more and more towards the bottom of the river, bubbles of air leaving his lips as he sank deeper and deeper, his hand reaching out as he slowly started losing his consciousness, his eyes dangerously close to closing and black spots could be seen in front of his eyes, from the lack of oxygen. His whole life went in front of his eyes, memories- the happy ones and the not-so-happy ones played in his mind, flashbacks of when he met Sanggil and Siyeong were the main spotlight of his life, in his mind and his heart, because he knew them the best, and the most. They were the ones that made him feel less lonely, that made him feel like he wanted to live, but all of those good thoughts disappeared right when the happiness reached its peak and broke down, like when you drop a cup or a glass suddenly, accidentally. The mood swings were more and more different, with every day it surprised him even more, to the point at where he asked himself what's wrong with him and why doesn't he want to be social for once, it's not like he's going to die just from talking to another person. But, as he sank deeper, he had no will whatsoever to live anymore, if he's going to live a life like this, if he's going to live a life where he's nobody to everyone, where he's practically invisible and misunderstood wherever he goes. He was indeed sure that he would have a better life up there, where he'll most probably meet his parents, and be happy with them. Losing them at a young age left an impact on him, too.

@choi minki Jiyong was having too much fun with their game to think about much else. Acting as if he were looking something since he knew Minki was likely watching him, he continued until he was out of sight. That's when he turned and crept back to where his boy was, but he was behind him now. Moving as quietly as he could, he paused when he was close enough to see him. He could see the other looking for him. With a smile on his lips, he pounced, tackling the boy to the ground. "Got ya!" With a wide grin, he pecks the boy's lips and then jump up. "You're it." And then he took off at full speed, but quickly slowed down to allow the other to catch him. "Catch me if you can!" He yelled it over his shoulder.

@kwon jiyong With that resolution in his head Minki stopped thinking about it, for now atleast. He had so much he wanted the alpha to know first about his family before he actually took the initiative of taking the alpha there. He'll let him know everything first before anything, but he'd do that once he was back in his room where he had everything essential to begin his letter. "Where is he going?" He thought to himself as he stood up a bit when the other had walked away from where he was. It was a bit strange to him so he had moved a bit from where he was hiding thinking that the other probably couldn't really find him after all.

@Ω❅chae hyungwon✧ Sanggil was wondering where the little omega went. He waited for his text but nothing came up. The younger wanted to go to the water and have fun in the water. He sighed a bit and went to the others room and sniffed around to see that he wasnt there. He was sad about it and looked out the younger went out without him. He didnt want the younger hurt and since Sanggil was visiting his parents right now he would be able to be with hyungwon. He missed his little brother the one he always wanted. He wanted to help the other and knew that being the third wheel isnt fun at all. They always tried to include but it wasnt the same. Sanggil was clingy to him and especially infront of other omegas and alphas. He sniffed the air and it was time to track the omega. He would start at the river. He made his way to outstide and started to the outside. He changed into his wolf and carried his clothes in his mouth sniffing around to find him. He raim and foolling te scent. Where was he? He was starting to get worried and the younger was able to get lost and scared easily.

@choi minki Jiyong was a firm believer that things always worked out the way they were meant to. He just didn't want to take chances with Minki. Well, hopefully he could meet the omega's parents soon. He didn't want to wait too long or he might be full of false thoughts and that never ended well for him. As he neared the grass, he decided to mess with his boy even more. Instead of heading into the part where he knew Minki would be, he walked down to the right a bit further and then entered, allowing the other to think he was safe. He hadn't been able to play in so long, but he remembered doing this to his nuna as a child and she'd always squeal in delight when he found her. Of course he'd tackle her and tickle her, but he wasn't sure yet if he'd do that to Minki.

@kwon jiyong He shook his head not wanting to think too much on the subject, he was worried about it enough as it was to add more to it by over thinking of the endless of possibilities of what could happen to them. When the other seemed to have understood he couldn't help but blush at it. The tall grass was ticking his face and getting caught in his hair, but he didn't mind it much. The excitement that he felt about the game had eased any irritation he felt from the grass. He tried to still his motions so that the grass wouldn't crunch underneath his weight, not that he trusted that would be enough to keep the alpha form finding him. He could smell the alpha growing nearer as well as hear his words that were so clearly directed to him. It made him feel giggly inside, and he rather loved that feeling of joy.
